What is Samuel thinking? If Gelson is asked to guess, he thinks that the most likely thing is how to help Benjamin, because his old father really wants to please Benjamin, as long as the general manager of the branch leaks a little money in his fingers, he will be enough for their family. A big meal.

It’s just that Gelson really guessed wrong this time, because Samuel didn’t particularly care about Benjamin’s anger, or was enthusiastic. What really caught his attention was another piece of information provided by Gelson-Prince William was eager to spend money and was borrowing money everywhere.

For shrewd Jewish merchants, everything that involves money will be especially concerned, especially when Prussian giants like William I need money, which is even more important.

He asked with interest: “Did Prince William say what to do with money?”

Gelson answered honestly: “No, this highness only said that there is an urgent need for one million Prussian talers, but he didn’t say anything!”

Samuel fell into deeper thinking. As a human spirit, he was particularly concerned about the affairs of the upper classes in Prussia, because these people can turn the capital market upside down with a little bit of trouble. Paying attention to the upper-level trends and finding the most worthwhile investment direction has become his number one event.

Samuel knew a little about William I. He knew that this man did not live extravagantly, and there was no precedent for squandering. On the contrary, he was a very restrained person and had not heard of any bad hobbies that waste money. Such a sudden need for a large amount of working capital, and so much urgency, even at the expense of borrowing usury, there is no problem in it to blame!

Samuel felt that this might be an opportunity to make a fortune. If he could figure out what William I was doing with the money, could he take a ride?

Samuel stood up immediately and walked around the room, considering all the pros and cons, and Gelson next to him also noticed the unusualness of the old father. He could guess Samuel’s attempt. Because he had the same idea when he discovered this at first.

It’s just that Gelson’s idea came quickly and faded faster. Although he likes money, he also knows what money can make and what can’t. Their family was backed by the Rothschild family. Now if they lend money to William I, it is likely to anger the Rothschild family. This is not a rational choice.

After holding back for a long time, after watching his old father seem to be getting more and more interested, Gelsen couldn’t help but reminded: “Father, we have to rely on the Rothschild family to do business. At this time, we are offended by a little profit. They are really not worth the loss!”

Samuel gave Gelsen a meaningful look and was still very satisfied with his son’s performance. In fact, he has always been very satisfied with Gelsen because he discovered early on that this son is very talented in business. So when Gelsen was only seventeen years old, he recommended Gelsen to the Rothschild family, paving the way for Gelsen in advance.

At that time he wrote to Baron Anselm Solomon: “…please allow me to briefly present my deepest and most sincere gratitude to you, thank you for the kindness you have bestowed on me. It is because of you, the most honorable. Lord Baron promoted me from the bottom, and the most noble you gave me the ability to feed a large family. Therefore, as long as I live, your voice and smile will live in the bottom of my heart, and my last breath will be dedicated to you , My benefactor…May you also bestow grace and kindness on my son Gelsen. He is as grateful as I am for your generosity and kindness, and is willing to give everything to you…”

It’s just that Gelson was too young at the time. For the Rothschild family, such a young kid is really not worth it, so he did not agree to let Gelson enter the Rothschild family bank service for the time being. But he also told Samuel that as long as Gelsen had accumulated enough experience, he was willing to give him a chance to prove himself.

And this is the key reason why Gelsen was able to join the Berlin branch this time and act as an assistant to the general manager. Anyway, Samuel attaches great importance to Gelsen, and Gelsen’s talent also makes him feel that he has no time in his cultivation. This child can guess his thoughts, which is also very good.

But Samuel still felt that Gelsen was too tender, because he could think of everything Gelsen could think of, but he wanted to be ahead of him that Gelsen could not think of.

For him, the Rothschild family is of course very important. It can be said that it is the foundation of standing. Naturally, he cannot do the stupid thing of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. But at the same time he felt that Benjamin’s operation this time had completely failed. As long as he used tricks, he could get close to William I without worrying about offending the Rothschild family, and even make the Rothschild family more satisfied with him.

“Benjamin asked you to inquire about the Russian nobleman, right?” Samuel asked with a sneer.

“Yes, father, I think he wants to retaliate against each other. Anyway, I think this is too stupid, but I wouldn’t be so reckless…”

Samuel also believed in this. Doing business is not about being grudge, but about making money with harmony. You all know that the other party is a big Russian, but it is unwise to rashly try to retaliate without knowing what they are doing!

In other words, he secretly figured out the background of the other party at best, and then tried to settle the accounts after he grew stronger. Now he is really humiliating himself.

Suddenly Samuel sneered: “This guy Benjamin has completely floated. He has forgotten how he climbed up. He thought he was a Rothschild family dog ​​and he could do whatever he wanted~www.wuxiax.com ~Hmph! I really don’t know how high the sky is!”

Gelson’s face straightened and he said suspiciously: “Father, do you mean that we don’t tell him about the Russians? I’m afraid this is not so good. Benjamin still has a lot of energy in Berlin, James Rothschild. Mr. Elder trusts him more than us!”

Samuel laughed and said: “Don’t worry, your father is not that stupid. The intelligence will naturally tell him, the sooner the better, and if it gets slower, this guy will recover himself. We have to make a fuss about his anger. , He can use it if he loses his mind!”

“Ah!”

Gelson took a deep breath. He knew what the old father wanted to do. This was preparing to shame Benjamin!

He did not deny Samuel, he confessed generously: “Benjamin did not make a mistake, how do we get close to Prince William, so he must make a mistake, we have a chance if we make a mistake!”
