Gerson was not intimidated. Instead, he despised Benjamin's actions, so he replied in an unassuming manner: "Sorry, this has been done to the best of our ability. If you are not satisfied, we will continue to collect information on this person."
Gerson only agreed to continue collecting, but he did not promise to give more detailed information, which made Benjamin hate it. Because as long as Gerson said something similar, he would have a way to cause trouble for the father and son.
.
He directly reported to James Rothschild that they were not doing their job well and that the delay in getting things done was because the father and son were dragging their feet and could not grasp the key information about the target, causing him to miss the opportunity. Anyway, he would have a large number of them.
A lot of blame was put on the Gerson father and son.
But Gerson was not fooled at all. He only agreed to collect intelligence, but did not promise to provide specific results. The ball still remained at Benjamin's feet.
【A pair of cunning foxes!】
Benjamin cursed secretly in his mind, but there was nothing he could do to the Gelsons. He could only wave his hands and drive him out angrily.
After Gerson left, Benjamin directly crushed the thin piece of information into a ball of waste paper and threw it into the wastebasket. He snorted disdainfully: "No matter who you are, as long as you dare to stop Rothschild,
The family's path is to bring about self-destruction!"
Benjamin has no choice. For him, no matter who Li Xiao is, he must try his best to complete the task. This is unconditional, because for James Rothschild, Benjamin cannot complete the task or cannot
If you dare to do it, there will be thousands of Jews rushing to take over this task!
Even including Gelson, who had just been driven away by him, as long as James Rothschild said a word, this father and son would probably be much more ruthless than Benjamin!
However, Benjamin was not reckless. He thought about it and decided to visit Count von Norman first. This count was one of his connections. Because his life was too dissolute, he often borrowed money from him or borrowed money from him. As Frederick.
The cousin of Countess Augusta von Harlacher, the second wife of William III, has a better relationship with the Hohenzollern family. If you can do William I's work through him, or let him give a warning
Damn the Russians, scare them away, maybe things will be easier.
After Von Norman learned of Benjamin's intention, he agreed without saying a word, not only because Benjamin promised to lend him another interest-free loan, but more importantly because he had always done these things to make a living.
Yes, this von Norman has no other abilities. The reason why he, with his mediocre abilities, can maintain a luxurious life that even millionaires envy is by doing "comfortable things" for others in exchange for gratitude money.
Either he was helping people make connections, or he was directly using family connections to intimidate others. Anyway, he was doing some bullying business. In the past few years, he had actually become a lot more honest. When his cousin-in-law, Frederick William III, was still there, his
Business was at least ten times better than it is now. At that time, there was no one in Prussia who didn't give him some respect, and there was no problem that he couldn't solve!
"The matter with William is more troublesome, but we are all old friends. I will definitely help you handle this matter and let the Russians obey and obey!"
Fon Norman actually didn't take Li Xiao seriously. In his opinion, what about the Russians? This is Prussia, and it's not the Russians' turn to be arrogant and domineering. Besides, William I used to be so powerful that it was difficult to deal with, but now William I
Having lost most of his power, what else can he do?
Yes, Von Norman underestimated the seriousness of the matter at the beginning. He felt that if Benjamin had approached him to do the work of William I, the matter would only take a few sentences. Now it is just a matter of time.
It was a little troublesome before, so he needs to put in some effort.
That night Von Norman went straight to the residence of William I, but he was unlucky. William I had been very busy recently and had not returned home yet, so he did not leave either and went directly to visit Augusta.
I think the same goes for the princess.
"...I heard that His Highness has been busy dealing with the Russians recently?" Von Norman got straight to the point, "Are you planning to borrow money from the Russians?"
Augusta doesn't particularly like von Norman, because this guy's reputation is not very good. Whether he is a playboy or relying on ancestral connections to get by, he is not a serious person. Of course, she did not ignore von Norman's energy.
, she knew very well how well-connected this sinister-faced guy was in the upper class. After all, so many nobles had approached this guy to resolve family scandals or scandals, and they had to buy him some face.
"Borrow money?"
Augusta didn't know much about this news. Although she knew that William I was very busy recently, she didn't know exactly what he was busy with. She thought he was busy negotiating with Li Xiao!
Augusta asked calmly: "What money can I borrow?"
Von Norman smiled and said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me. I've heard that His Highness is busy borrowing funds, and he needs about one million thalers! Such a large amount of money is not a small amount.
You have to be careful!"
【One million talers!】
Augusta's own family knew their own affairs. When William I was in power, his annual income was about two hundred thousand thalers. But after the revolution forced him to step down, his apparent salary income and annuity income totaled
It’s less than 100,000. One million thalers is not a small amount for their family!
The most important thing is that William I did not tell her that he wanted to borrow money and why he wanted to borrow money. Augusta suddenly became very unhappy. She felt that William I should at least discuss such a big matter with her, or at least tell her
She shouted. As a result, now von Norman knew about it, but she, the wife, still kept it in the dark. What a big deal!
Although her heart was in turmoil, Augusta remained calm on her face, because she knew that von Norman was not a good person, and this time he deliberately came to her door to talk to her about the loan. I am afraid it was because of his unkindness. So she could not possibly
Just let him know, and then slowly ask William I.
"You are mistaken. Your Highness has no intention of borrowing money. This is just some unbounded gossip!"
But Von Norman did not give up and added: "This is by no means a piece of gossip. I must remind you that this loan is a big deal. You must not be careless. What if His Highness encounters a loan shark and is cheated? Let me tell you.
, you must not let His Highness do anything wrong. You must find a reliable way to borrow money. I have many friends in this field, and all of them have very good credit..."
