Gelson Brechrod honestly followed the manager into the drawing room. This is a house full of Prussian style, so what is Prussian style? That is simple and rough, not luxurious and comfortable enough. In short, if such a living room appears in the upper class of Vienna or Paris, it will be laughed at.

But here is Cottbus, the core area of ​​the Prussian style, especially the owner of this living room is the famous shotgun prince, so don’t be surprised even if you see the pure original ecology.

For the Hohenzollern family who pays more attention to practicality than to show off their wealth, unnecessary luxury is meaningless. Everything is simple and practical, which is also in line with German tradition. Of course, this kind of tradition is relatively abrupt to Gelsen, because he is a Jew. Although Jews don’t like to show off their wealth publicly, they don’t make it so shabby.

After all, the necessary scenes for businessmen are still necessary, otherwise it is very likely that potential partners will think that they do not have enough strength, and then the business will not be done.

Anyway, Gelson felt that the prince’s living room was not as good as his own foreign style, it was really small. But he didn’t dare to openly express his contempt, because after all, this was the prince’s living room, and the general manager who brought him to visit William I was now respectful, even a little fidgeting.

But usually, this person is always five people and six pairs of subordinates. He doesn’t have any good colors, and sometimes he is a bit domineering. Anyway, it is the feeling of being above the top. Even ordinary Prussian aristocrats don’t want to get a good face from him. At that time, Gelsen was very envious of the general manager, because not every Jew could have such a bright moment.

Gelson hoped that in the future, he could be like this general manager, and be able to make the nobles who look down on the Jews like their grandsons, so that there will be no regrets in this life.

It’s just that today when the general manager met a real top nobleman, he still didn’t look enough. Gelsen felt that it would be more perfect if the Prince of Prussia could also show respect.

Will William I show respect for the Jews? meeting! But that depends on who it is. At least the general manager of the Berlin branch of the Rothschild family bank is far from enough. If it is the true direct line of the Rothschild family, he will show proper respect, after all, those are real financial crocodiles, even a prince like him must respect him by three points.

“Mr. Benjamin, how are you discussing about financing? When can you give me a definite result?”

Gelson glanced at his general manager without leaving a trace. At this time, he had only sat on the small half of his **** and moved it out, looking particularly cautious. I saw him bowing his head slightly and replied: “Your Highness, your request is a bit too sudden. This amount is not a small amount. I need to report it to Your Excellency the Baron for approval… And you know that the current connection with Vienna is very successful. Question, those mobs…”

Benjamin still wanted to explain, but William I didn’t have much interest in listening. He suddenly stretched out his arm to stop Benjamin from speaking, and asked domineeringly: “I’m not interested in this. You just need to tell me when will I be able to Just get this money!”

Benjamin took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After tangling for a moment, he replied: “His Royal Highness, the money you are asking for is too urgent. Our bank does not have such authority. I can only…”

William I interrupted him impatiently again and asked: “Then how much money can your bank grant me?”

Gelson sat aside and contemplated the conversation between the two. It was clear that William I was planning to borrow a sum of money from the Rothschild family bank for an emergency, but the sum may be very large, far beyond Benjamin’s authority. .

At the moment William I was in a particularly urgent need, but he couldn’t get in touch with Vienna for a while, so he let Benjamin sit on the wax.

For a qualified Jewish businessman, Gelson immediately began to figure out whether the matter was profitable, but he really didn’t have much experience in this area. It’s not that he has never engaged in lending, but that he rarely engages in lending with such top nobles. Because there are a lot of explanations, and the family’s remarks lightly borrowed the money, it may not be possible to get it back.

So Gelson just made a turn in his mind, and didn’t really want to intervene. After all, although business sometimes requires a certain degree of gambling, the gambling is too big and it is also a death.

At this time, Benjamin replied stiffly: “My authority can only provide you with one hundred thousand Prussian talers…”

Benjamin was interrupted by William I again, but this time the prince was angry, or he felt he was insulted: “One hundred thousand Prussian talers, do I need to find you for this little money? Do you think I am People who lack this money! Mr. Benjamin, I have always trusted Baron James Rothschild to choose your bank as a partner, but your performance has disappointed me too much, and I have to consider terminating it. Cooperation with you!”

In fact, the threat of this remark is greater than anger. William I may feel that he can borrow more funds instead of a mere 100,000 Prussian talers. This is a bit unacceptable to him who is arrogant. But at the same time he also knows that there are not many banks in Berlin that can provide large sums of money. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is probably the only Rothschild family that can meet his needs.

But the bank of this family obviously disappointed him too much. It was only willing to lend him one hundred thousand Prussian talers. Why is this small amount of money enough? How many members can you buy?

Benjamin was also taken aback by William I because he knew very well the importance of William I. In the past, their bank was very happy to cooperate with William I. They benefited a lot from the Prussian government. But now and then, if William I was able to get an overview of state affairs as before, let alone borrowing half a million Prussian talers, it doesn’t matter if it is doubled.

The problem is that now William I has been forced to go to the field, and now he has only a false title of governor. The influence on the Prussian government is not as good as before. At this time, he loaned him a large amount of money. ?

Neither the Rothschild family nor Benjamin is engaged in charity. On the contrary, these financial executioners are the best at smashing the bones and sucking the marrow, and they are determined not to do business at a loss!
