William I couldn't help but snorted in his heart: [Sure enough, these damn Jews are unreliable. These damn vampires only have money in their eyes and don't give any face at all! Our own people are still reliable, this is so open!]
Li Xiao's statement immediately made William I feel warm all over. He squeezed out a rare smile and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, you have solved my urgent need!"
With that said, he turned to Benjamin and said coldly: "Can I borrow the remaining five hundred thousand from you as agreed just now?!"
Benjamin suddenly felt more uncomfortable than eating a fly, because what he cared about was not just the conditions of Hesse-Darmstadt, so what little benefit was insignificant. What he really wanted to achieve was much more, it was necessary
This was only possible by lending one million to William I.
So he is very hesitant here. If you agree, it will be a bit of a loss. If you don't agree, you won't get anything. It's too confusing!
He couldn't help but glared at Li Xiao fiercely - it was the bastard in front of him who ruined his good deeds!
But Li Xiao didn't care at all about being glared at by him, because he still had something to say! He didn't want the Rothschild family to take advantage of him at all, so he immediately said: "Your Highness, please don't."
Worry. I personally lent you the 500,000 thalers just now. I can also help you find a way from some other friends. Not to mention helping you raise another 500,000 thalers. At least 200,000 to 300,000 thalers are for you.
owned!"
William I was immediately overjoyed. He originally thought that Li Xiao was already very powerful, but he did not expect that Li Xiao would be so powerful. He alone helped solve the gap of 700,000 to 800,000 thalers, and the remaining
He can basically survive by just scraping it together.
Suddenly he grabbed Li Xiao's right hand, shook it hard, and said with a hearty laugh: "Thank you so much! You really helped me solve a big problem!"
As for Benjamin, he was completely dumbfounded. He had been thinking about how much he could make a little while ago, but now it seemed like it was a waste of money and he couldn't even get the leftovers. He stood there blankly, embarrassed and surprised, with a pair of dead eyes.
Staring at Li Xiao, as if he wanted to kill Li Xiao with his eyes.
But soon he no longer had to look at it, because the joyful William I quickly noticed his eyesore. To be honest, he had never found the Jews so annoying. But now looking at the ugliness and faces of the Jews,
Looking at Li Xiao's sincerity, the former really made him feel sick!
Hong Kong really didn't want to see Benjamin again for a moment, so he immediately waved his hand to Benjamin and said: "Mr. Benjamin, I'm really sorry for making your trip in vain. Let's work together again next time we have a chance!"
Benjamin walked out of William I's living room in a daze. His head was buzzing and he couldn't figure out why things suddenly turned out like this. On the other hand, Gelson's eyes flashed with shrewd fire. Today's events
He saw it clearly. He felt that Benjamin's biggest mistake was being too greedy. His greed made him not take William I seriously at all, and he constantly tried to squeeze out the maximum value.
Although doing this business is very smart, the problem is not small. That is, it is absolutely impossible to leave a good impression on William I. Once there is a problem in some intermediate link, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Gerson felt that even if Benjamin could achieve his initial goal of lending half a million thalers to William I in the end and easily get a vote from Ludwig III, the gain would outweigh the losses in the end. Next time he wants to deal with William I, he will probably have to pay a huge amount of money.
Greater everyone.
Anyway, if it were Gerson to handle this case, he would never do this. He would choose to firmly hold on to the big ship William I, and then ride on this big ship to ride the wind and waves in the mall. He believed that as long as he had this opportunity, he would
They will definitely not do worse than the Rothschild family back then!
Yes, Gerson looked down on the Rothschilds and Benjamin a little, and felt that their business methods were too crude. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, because for a little shrimp like Gerson, William I was no less important than Qin
The value of being a stranger, but for the Rothschild family who has passed that stage, a mere William I is just that!
These are different views at different levels. Gelson is at least two levels lower than the Rothschilds, and what he values is really too common for the latter.
However, it cannot be said that there is something wrong with Gerson's judgment, because different levels have different ways of survival. For the Bleichröder family, seizing the opportunity of William I is a major breakthrough, and they will naturally go all out to
Pay attention to.
"Go and find out for me where this Peter Mikhailovich comes from!"
What Gerson didn't expect was that before he could even think about whether he could seize the opportunity, Benjamin viciously assigned him a task.
Gerson looked at Benjamin. He understood this guy's intention very well. He suffered such a big loss from Li Xiao today, and he couldn't swallow it. Although the Russian nobleman didn't have much to do, but here is
Prussia is not Russia. It is a local snake but it needs to be told that it is not easy to bully.
Gerson didn't say much and agreed directly. As a well-informed and well-connected person in Berlin's Jewish circles, it was too easy for him to get some information about this. Although he didn't fully agree with Benjamin.
But who made the other party his immediate boss?
Neither he nor his father could refuse the request of the Rothschild family. Even if it was not Baron James Rothschild who made the request, the general manager of his branch was also a prince, and they were
A big shot who can never afford to offend.
Besides, Gerson and Li Xiao are neither close nor close friends, so it is impossible for them to say good words to avert disaster. In fact, even if they were close, the shrewdness of the Jews would probably destroy their relationship out of justice.
So after returning home from get off work that night, he immediately reported the relevant situation to his old father Samuel and asked for his help.
But what surprised Gerson was that after Samuel heard the whole story, he did not rise up to vent his anger on the Rothschild family as he expected. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Gerson is really weird, because he has never seen such an old father before. What on earth is he thinking? It's so curious!
