Seven hundred and twentieth chapters shrewd father and son
"I am really flattered by your kindness!" Gelson replied with some excitement and fear, "This is really beyond my ability, and I am really worried that I will live up to your kindness!"
Gerson refused, which surprised Vishniak who was watching on the sidelines, because he looked down upon the Jews and felt that these cunning and despicable guys were all money-loving people who could even sell their ancestors as long as they heard that there was money to be made.
.He felt that it was absolutely impossible for Gerson to refuse Li Xiao's proposal.
But Gerson refused, which surprised Vishnyak.
However, Li Xiao was not surprised because he knew about Gerson's future achievements and how capable he was.
Yes, it seems that the opportunity provided by Li Xiao is very tempting, but only a truly rational person can realize the risks involved. First of all, Gelson does not know Russia well. As the saying goes, there is a mountain in the distance, and you are most afraid of doing business.
As a student, how can it be so easy to do business in a country and field that you don’t understand at all? If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap.
Some people may say that Li Xiao is not there to protect him. What makes Gerson even more wary is Li Xiao's care. Because he doesn't know Li Xiao well and doesn't know how much care someone can provide.
What if it doesn’t have that much energy?
You can't gamble on this kind of thing. Even if you take a step back and say that Li Xiao is very powerful and can completely cover Gerson, I'm afraid he won't go, because he is very clear about his position and ability. There has never been love for no reason in this world.
, if Li Xiao provides such a large amount of protection, he will definitely charge a high return, otherwise, he will support you when he is full?
But the problem is that Gerson is not sure that he will be able to shine in Russia immediately. What if he can't make so much money, and even Li Xiao's filial piety is not enough? Should he still put in the money himself?
So after thinking about it, Gerson knew that going to Russia now was not the best choice. It was better to seize the path of William I and rely on his father's management over the past few decades. This was the right path.
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction, because his sudden suggestion to let Gelson go to Russia for development was not a whim, but a real trial. Although he was a time traveler and knew Gelson's future abilities, that was the future, and
With the butterfly effect, it is difficult to say whether this future can be realized.
In this case, Li Xiao must give Galson's level a try to see what level he is at when he is still very young. Only in this way can he feel at ease.
The result of this trial made Li Xiao very satisfied, because Gerson could always remain calm and rational. As long as he maintained this level, there would be no big problems in the future.
Li Xiao said with a smile: "Don't refuse in a hurry, my kindness will be valid for a long time. Whenever you are interested and confident about Russia's development, you can come to me. I am very optimistic about you!"
Now Gerson was really flattered. As Jews, a despised group, even wealthy people like them had to be careful when meeting nobles of Li Xiao's level, because if they were not careful, they would be disliked.
And now Li Xiao actually says that he admires and thinks highly of him. This is like pie in the sky!
Gerson was stunned and didn't know what to say. It looked a bit ridiculous, but Li Xiao didn't care at all. He said calmly: "But before that, I still have a business to entrust to you. I have
Some of the funds need to find new investment directions, and you are a professional in this field. Do you have any suggestions?”
Naturally, Gerson would not be frightened when talking about professional matters, let alone someone like Li Xiao who needed his best efforts to seek advice. He immediately replied: "...the best investment direction is naturally the railway. I think the future is very long."
For a while, the railway will have great potential!"
This did not surprise Li Xiao, because Gelson's fortune, or the rise of Prussia, was closely related to the railway. Gelson made a lot of money on the railway, and Prussia also relied on Europe's leading railway network to
Denmark, Austria and France were fighting tooth and nail.
In this era, investing in railways is not only a guaranteed profit, but it is also the investment direction with the highest return rate. Naturally, Li Xiao couldn't have any objection to this answer, so he just said: "Very good, then I will invest 200,000 thalers."
I entrust you with railway investment, I believe you will never let me down!"
Two hundred thousand thalers!
Two hundred thousand thalers is certainly not a lot for Gerson. He has managed many assets worth millions of thalers in the past, but he threw out a check for two hundred thousand thalers on his first commission.
, this boldness and trust made him moved.
"My child, you are right. This Mr. Peter Mikhailovich is indeed a Russian nobleman. Seizing this opportunity will not only bring our family's business in Prussia to a higher level, but also help us."
Open things up in Russia!”
"You must maintain this relationship well and let the two hundred thousand thalers grow at the fastest and most stable rate! If done properly, in the future it will be more than two hundred thousand, or even two million thalers, or twenty million
Taller is possible!"
Samuel was also excited. The old man who had been working hard in the camp all his life wanted to see Gerson excel most. Now that Gerson had just started his own business and had such a good start, he believed in Gerson.
The future will be limitless!
"By the way, where is Prince William?"
I have to say that this father and son pair are really virtuous, and they have not forgotten their roots just because of the unexpected joy.
"His Excellency Peter Mikhailovich has promised to introduce us, and he will give me a chance to convince His Highness the Prince before leaving Berlin!"
"This is great!" The stone in Samuel's heart fell to the ground, but he immediately warned: "Don't be careless, you must use the greatest enthusiasm to impress His Highness the Prince, even if you don't make money this time or even lose money.
, don’t be short-sighted!”
Naturally, Gerson would not be careless, because he had already prepared a special fund of 100,000 thalers, and he would immediately give it to William I as long as he still had financial needs or if there was a problem with capital turnover.
"That's right!" Samuel suddenly reminded, "Don't forget Benjamin. This guy is not so easy to knock down. Have you cleaned up your hands?"
Gerson was shocked, and after recalling it carefully, he replied: "It's all cleaned up. If you don't worry, I'll go check it again!"
Samuel waved his hand and said: "Then check again, and you must not offend the Rothschild family!"
