Gelson was stunned, because what he was educated from childhood was to learn all kinds of knowledge, especially those financial knowledge, and then to actually practice various financial methods in the family bank. He has always been told that these are precious Wealth, must not have the slightest slack.

But today, his majestic old father told him that the real wealth is human relationship? What the hell is this? Shouldn't he be told that anyone who has the ability to start from scratch will be rich?

The confusion on Gelson's face made Samuel secretly sigh in his heart. He is still very satisfied with this son. He studied hard and never regarded himself as a prince in the family bank. Learn from the basic level. It should be said that such performance is commendable.

But Samuel has very high demands on Gelson. Perhaps in the old Gelson's generation, their family can be regarded as the ancestral tomb of the current state, which is enough to be proud of.

But Samuel knew very well that the identity of the Jews determined that they had to be prepared for danger in times of crisis. Maybe their lives were happy and happy now, but who could guarantee that they would survive the next turmoil.

At least this time the revolutionary movement sounded the alarm for Samuel. His banker friends who were Jewish like him did not survive this crisis, and the wealth accumulated by three generations disappeared overnight. He who was once admired by thousands of people could only commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

This made Samuel very insecure. He felt more and more that he was walking on thin ice. Today is his friend, maybe tomorrow it will be his turn?

And he knew very well that it was too difficult for the Jews to succeed and live like a human being. It was a coincidence that his old father married a good wife to make the family rise. But who can guarantee such good luck if they fall?

Samuel never dared to gamble on luck, he only believed in hard work. So in order to maintain the safety of the family, and for the family to live like a human for generations, he feels that Gelson needs to improve further.

Gelson no longer lacks knowledge, intelligence, and experience. He feels that what Gelson lacks most now is the handling of interpersonal relationships. Doing business is actually dealing with people. Once you master people, you will not worry about not having business.

And now Gelson obviously hasn't realized this. He is too concerned about the business itself and not the people behind it. Think about how their Bleichröder family rose, was it because they knew how to do business?

totally not! Instead, old Gelson married a good wife, and this good wife brought help from her natal family. Look at how many Jews were smarter and better at doing business than old Gelson. Did they succeed?

Obviously,

Networking is more important than business itself. If Gelsen can establish a relationship with the Rothschild family or other dignitaries, firstly, the family business can be improved, and secondly, even if there is a crisis, there will be no help.

This is not much more upscale than a fool who only earns two bad money. As the status of the family increases, it is necessary to improve the network. Only sufficient connections can support the prosperity of the family. Without connections, they are nothing.

I have to say that compared with Samuel, Gelson is really a kid, but Jiang is still old and spicy. According to the popular saying in later generations, Gelson is only wandering on the second floor, while Samuel is Overlook the poor kid on the third floor.

Of course, Gelson was a good boy. Although he didn't understand his father's deep meaning, he followed his father's instructions honestly. Even if this instruction is a bit unreasonable, it stands to reason that he, the young master, has been training in his own business for so long, so he should start taking over the family business and start managing things. But Samuel's words made him have to go to the Rothschild Family Bank in Frankfurt to report and continue to be a small shrimp. To be honest, this is really uncomfortable.

Because everyone wants to be a grandpa, but no one wants to be a grandson. The reason why so many poor dicks' counterattacks in later generations are popular is not because dicks also have the heart of being a master. And Gelson is obviously able to be an uncle, but he is forced to continue to be a grandson. Can you tell him how happy he is?

"When you arrive in Frankfurt, you should make more friends and don't just focus on the business. The business can never be finished, but sometimes you miss friends and you miss them forever!"

Gelson still listened obediently, while Samuel continued to teach: "When you make friends, you have to spend the money you should spend. You don't need to be careful, and you have to hold on to the occasion! Can't spend more!"

This request made Gelsen very embarrassed. He asked in a low voice, "Father, what is a friend like a friend, and when should you be generous?"

Samuel snorted coldly. He knew that Gelson had complaints and dissatisfaction, but as an old man, he just liked to let his son be honest in front of him.

"Those who let you go out to have a good time and spend money are all friends, but those who take you out to have a good time and make a lot of money, and can also bring you to meet high-level people and build a network of relationships, that is the best friend."

As he spoke, he glared at Gelson again: "Got it?!"

Gelson really wanted to say that he didn't understand, because this standard is really a bit of a thing, and there is no way to implement it, okay? But Samuel doesn't think so. He thinks that all the legal provisions and frameworks in the world are not flexible enough to guide you to run a good business. Only those things that combine persistence and purpose without losing flexibility will make you successful.

Just like his standard just now, to put it bluntly, it is okay to spend a lot of money, but it must be valuable and rewarding. If you only gain indulgence and depravity in it, it is worthless. But if you use this to draw closer relationships, win friendships, and negotiate more profitable business deals, it will be invaluable.

It's not how you do it or what you do, it's whether you get a huge benefit out of it. If you don't have it, it's not worth it, it's just a friend of friends. If there is, it is worth the money, and it is a good teacher and helpful friend.

Samuel really has an insight into the ways of the world and the various states of the world. In this world, many times, we don't look at the process but only the result. Even if your means are despicable and nasty, but you win a lot in the end, then you are a model of a winner in life. On the contrary, even if you are a bodhisattva who cares about the country and the people, you are still a worthless one.

Winner takes all, the winner takes no blame, it's that simple. It’s just that sometimes these truths can’t be justified, let alone publicized, because human nature is so duplicity, saying one thing and doing another...
