What was Samuel thinking? If Gelson were to guess, he felt that the most likely way would be to vent his anger on Benjamin, because his old father really wanted to curry favor with Benjamin, as long as the general manager of the branch leaked a little extra money through his fingers, it would be enough for their family. Big meal.

It's just that Gelson really guessed wrong this time, because Samuel didn't particularly care about venting his anger for Benjamin, or he was keen. What really caught his attention was another piece of news from Gelson—Prince William was in a hurry to spend money and was borrowing money everywhere.

For a shrewd Jewish businessman, they would pay special attention to anything involving money, especially when a Prussian tycoon like William I needed money, so he needed to be more concerned.

He asked with interest: "Didn't Prince William say what to do with the money?"

Gelson replied honestly: "No, His Highness only said that one million Prussian thalers are urgently needed, but he didn't say what it will be used for!"

Samuel fell into a deeper thought. As a human being, he was particularly concerned about the affairs of the upper class in Prussia, because the slightest disturbance by these people could turn the capital market upside down. It has become his top priority to pay attention to the movements of the upper echelons and find the most worthwhile investment direction.

Samuel knew a little about William I. He knew that this person did not live extravagantly, and there was no precedent for spending money lavishly. On the contrary, he was a very restrained person, and he was not heard of any bad habits that were particularly wasteful of money. Such a sudden need for a large amount of working capital, and such an urgent need, even at the expense of usurious loans, it is no wonder that there is no problem in it!

Samuel felt that this might be an opportunity to make a fortune. If he could find out what William I was using the money for, could it be a good ride?

Samuel immediately stood up and walked around the room, considering the trade-offs of all aspects, and beside him, Gelson also noticed the unusualness of the old father, he could guess Samuel's plan, Because he had thought the same thing when he first discovered it.

It's just that Gelson's idea came quickly and faded even faster. Although he likes money, he also knows what money can be earned and what money can't be earned. Their family made their fortune with the back of the Rothschild family. Now if they lend money to King William I, it is very likely to anger the Rothschild family. This is not a rational choice.

After holding back for a long time, Gelson saw that his old father seemed to be getting more and more emotional, he couldn't help it anymore, and reminded: "Father, we still rely on the Rothschild family to do business. They are really worth the loss!"

Samuel gave Gelson a meaningful look, and was quite satisfied with his son's performance.

In fact, he has always been very satisfied with Gelson, because he discovered very early on that his son was very talented in business, so when Gelson was only seventeen years old, he recommended Gelson to the Rothschild family. Gelson, pave the way for Gelson in advance.

At that time he wrote to Lord Anselm Solomon: "...permit me briefly to offer you my deepest and most sincere thanks for the kindness you have kindly bestowed on me. It is because of you, most honorable Lord Baron promoted me from the bottom, and you, the noblest, have given me the ability to support a large family. Therefore, as long as I live, your voice and smile will live in my heart, and I will dedicate my last breath to you , my benefactor... May you also bestow grace and kindness on my son Gelson, who, like me, appreciates your generosity and kindness from the bottom of his heart, and is willing to dedicate everything to you..."

It's just that Gelson was too young at that time. For the Rothschild family, such a young kid was really not a good thing, so he didn't agree to allow Gelson to serve in the Rothschild family bank for the time being. However, he also told Samuel that as long as Gelson had accumulated enough experience, he would be willing to give him a chance to prove himself.

And this is also the key reason why Gelsen was able to join the Berlin branch this time and work as an assistant to the general manager. Anyway, Samuel attached great importance to Gelson, and Gelson's talent made him feel that he didn't have time to worry about his cultivation. It's not bad that this kid can guess his thoughts.

It's just that Samuel still thinks that Gelson is too immature, because he can think of everything Gelson can think of, but he thinks ahead of what Gelson can't think of.

To him, the Rothschild family is of course very important, and it can be said that it is the foundation of his life. Naturally, it is impossible for him to do the stupid thing of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons. But at the same time, he felt that this time Benjamin's operation had completely failed. As long as he used clever means, 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 take revenge on the other party. If I think it's too stupid, I wouldn't be so reckless..."

Samuel also deeply agrees with this. Doing business is not about vindictiveness, but about making money with harmony. You all know that the other party is a big shot in Russia, but it is so unwise to rashly try to retaliate without knowing who he is following!

In other words, he would at most secretly figure out the other party's background, and then try to settle accounts after he grows stronger in the future. Now he is really humiliating himself by messing around.

Immediately, Samuel sneered: "This guy Benjamin has completely drifted, he has forgotten how he climbed up. He thinks that he is a dog of the Rothschild family and he can do whatever he wants, hmph! I really don't know The sky is high and the earth is thick!"

Gelson's face turned pale, and he said suspiciously: "Father, what do you mean, we don't tell him about the situation of the Russians? I'm afraid this is not good, Benjamin still has a lot of energy in Berlin, James Rothschild Mr. Alder trusts him more than us!"

Samuel laughed and said: "Don't worry, your father is not that stupid. The information will naturally tell him, the sooner the better, if it is slower, this guy will recover himself. We have to make a fuss about his anger , he who has lost his mind can take advantage of it!"

"Ah!"

Gelson took a deep breath, he knew what the old father wanted to do, and he was going to blackmail Benjamin!

Samuel didn't deny it, he admitted openly: "Benjamin doesn't make mistakes, how can we get close to Prince William, so he must have made mistakes, and if we make mistakes, we will have a chance!"
