Benjamin was very entangled. The appearance of Li Xiao disrupted his plan, making it impossible for him to lure King William I to take the bait step by step, which made him both angry and helpless. If it is a nobleman from another country, even if he has no other choice, he can use the relationship of Baron James Rothschild to make the other party overwhelmed.

But Li Xiao is a top Russian nobleman, and Baron James Rothschild has nothing to do. So besides being panicked with hatred, he can only panic with hatred.

However, Benjamin is an old hand after all. Although he was extremely irritated and wished to wring Li Xiao's head off and use it as a chamber pot, he did not lose his mind.

If the original plan is abandoned, the possibility of immediately luring William I to achieve his goal is definitely gone. But he felt that a huge sum of one million Prussian thalers could not be obtained by any bank even in Berlin. What's more, these large and small banks in Berlin are almost all connected to the Rothschild family. If you don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, no one will dare to openly do good things to the Rothschild family.

Even, as long as he goes back and let the wind out, no one in Berlin or even the whole of North Germany will dare to lend money to William I. In other words, William I couldn't borrow money at all, so even if someone interfered with today's good deeds, it would only delay the procedure a little bit. At that time, William I, who was desperate, still had to find him, and he even had an excuse to raise the asking price a little more.

Thinking about it this way, Benjamin was no longer so entangled and angry. He immediately regained his composure and composure, and glanced at Li Xiao contemptuously, his heart filled with disdain.

This is where the Rothschild family is most powerful. They weave a big net that includes the whole of Germany. It is impossible to leave them alone when doing business within the scope of Germany, otherwise you may not be able to do anything.

In a sense, it is also a disguised monopoly, so some people in later generations say that their family has established a financial empire. For Li Xiao, fortunately, this financial empire was still in its infancy, and its power had not yet reached its peak. If it was around World War I, then he really couldn't afford to provoke the other party.

"His Royal Highness, since you still have a lot of doubts about the financing, you might as well think about it for a while. After all, this is a big deal, and it is very troublesome for us to operate. It won't be done right away."

Benjamin said to William I with a pleasant face: "You can think about it more, but it is best to make a decision as soon as possible, because the current capital flow is indeed very tight, and some opportunities are not available all the time. Sometimes it is true that you miss it. missed!"

Benjamin is actually still putting pressure on King William I. He still hopes to conclude the deal as soon as possible. He is also a little afraid of long nights and dreams.

Because the international situation is unpredictable, it is uncertain what will happen again.

William I was also a little hesitant, because he was really in a hurry. If he didn't seize the time to deal with the states at both ends of the snake and mouse before Austria reacted, things would become very troublesome. In fact, he really wanted to borrow the money and talk about it later.

Benjamin immediately noticed William I's hesitation, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He felt that as long as he worked harder, he should be able to handle William I. However, he is not the only one in this room who is good at observing words and expressions. Li Xiao's eyes are not black beans, and he can see through William I's thoughts and Benjamin's thoughts at a glance.

So he immediately rushed to the front: "His Royal Highness, I think some harsh conditions should be cautious, not to mention how powerful a bank that does not even have enough authority for a million Prussian talers? You really agreed, in case they If you lose the chain in a hurry, it will delay your business instead!"

This remark was like slapping Benjamin in the face, and almost made him jump in anger. Of course he could afford one million talers, but doing business requires exorbitant prices. Do you know how to do business, silly bird!

Li Xiao really didn't know how to do business, because he felt that the operating methods of Benjamin and the Rothschild family were actually very low-level. When dealing with a person like William I, how could one care too much about the momentary gains and losses? It is more beneficial to have a good relationship with him and keep a good relationship with him than you are now.

Of course, he also stood up and talked without pain in his back. If it weren't for the time traveler, who would have imagined that Prussia would rise from the ground in less than 20 years, defeating Denmark, Austria and France successively to achieve dominance?

These Rothschild families are simply unimaginable, and only Li Xiao, a traverser, can take advantage of this. So he dared to invest in William I without worrying about the income at all, but it was impossible for the Rothschild family to have such courage to gamble.

Seeing that Benjamin wanted to fight back, and William I was still swaying there, Li Xiao knew that he had to increase his bargaining chips, so he immediately asked nonchalantly: "His Royal Highness, I can give you a financing of 500,000 Prussian thalers. interest!"

These words made the faces of Benjamin and William I suddenly changed. The former flew away because of the cooked duck, while the latter was overjoyed. Five hundred thousand Prussian thalers may be a lot to ordinary people, but it was actually a matter of sprinkling water for William I. The reason why he can't get the money now is mainly because there is no way to get money after he was kicked out. Now, although the National Assembly is half-dissolved, these members are still there after all, and they are all watching the cabinet's every move. His elder brother Frederick William IV is not good at openly taking money from the treasury to subsidize him.

What's more, the Prussian treasury is also very tight now. The turmoil caused by this revolution has consumed a lot of funds, and the treasury really has no surplus money, so William I can only let William I find a way to borrow. And Frederick William IV will still find a way to make up for this money in the future.

It took William I and Benjamin a long time to increase the loan amount from 100,000 to 500,000. This required political conditions, and the interest rate was not low. Now Li Xiao sent half a million talers with a wave of his hand, and it was completely free of interest. This boldness made King William I quite comfortable.

Yes, it is comfort. For William I, he didn't really care about money, what he cared about most was face. He went in and asked the Rothschild family to borrow money, but they were still chattering and chattering, which was not at all happy. He is very upset. On Li Xiao's side, he was really happy and gave him face. Although 500,000 yuan could not completely solve his problem, this affection moved him!
