His Excellency the Count of Grandet

After visiting the site, the group set foot on the return journey.Because some members of the British mission were going to other parts of France, it was agreed to meet up in Paris after the viewing so that a unified decision could be made.

If anyone worried about changes in the road and long nights and dreams, it would not be Shire.Because although the Rothschilds are the happiest, they are not actually the big heads of the British textile industry, they just want to get involved.Therefore, Shire's first consideration for cooperation was not them at all.

This and because of Faraday, Shire is not willing to appear penny-pinching.In any case, he really wants to cooperate, not deliberately hang the appetite of the British; in addition, Faraday is British after all, and he does not want the other party to be questioned and embarrassed by others in these places——

When he was on the edge of the reservoir, Faraday only wanted to ensure that the current research environment would not be disturbed. Could it be that he couldn't do it?He will always offer better options!

In addition, the purpose of the cooperation is to further make friends with the British. Who will benefit from getting stuck?They obtained British support (or no opposition) to the French political situation through economic cooperation, and the British could alleviate the domestic financial crisis through this way; everyone gets what they need, isn't everyone happy?

So when the Rothschild brothers finally approached Shire, even though Xiare knew that the other party had made a lot of tricks in private, he pretended not to know anything and received them warmly according to etiquette.

Although he has become the hottest figure in France, Charles still hasn't moved out of his previous house.People who always have one eye on what others are doing will definitely criticize this kind of thing, but the news that Paris Grandet will build a new castle in Bordeaux has spread, so the chattering has to stop.

James and Nathan knew this too, but they paid more attention to it, seeing it as a sign of Shire's composure.

Usually, besides bringing gold, getting rich overnight is more a test of people's psychology.Whether it is squandering by oneself or being targeted by others, there are definitely many cases where people die because of the windfall.

Shire's situation is typical of sudden wealth, but the sudden wealth and status did not make him dizzy.This is undoubtedly a good thing for Charles himself, but it is a big problem for his opponent, or the partner he does not like.

From Michelle's vague attitude and Faraday's lukewarmness, James and Nathan had foreseen the difficulty of their trip.The point is, old foxes like Michelle are fine, non-cooperation is definitely out of self-interest considerations; but even Faraday who came from a poor background does not buy their account, how embarrassing are they?

"My dear Earl, you are really cute," Nathan said, with a smile on his face, but his heart was sour. "I guess someone must ask you for the secret of this?"

"You are really flattering, dear Mr. Rothschild." Charles smiled, "I just think that everyone knows each other, isn't it better to make money through harmony?"

Harmony makes money...?If they are really harmonious, how can they gain a firm foothold in a complicated situation?Even if it is true that Xia Erming has never blushed with anyone, at least it should be. When it is time to be tough, he will never back down, right?

Not only Nathan thinks so, but James too.Anyone who has suffered two consecutive defeats will no longer underestimate their opponents.Seeing that he couldn't achieve his goal with insinuating methods, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and raised the issues he cared about first: "Everyone knows that you are always humble. But there is no doubt that you are still the protagonist among the crowd this time!"

"Oh?" Charles stirred the coffee in front of him slightly, as if he didn't care, "I don't dare to put myself in an overly important position. Anyway, it's always better to be cautious, isn't it? "

Well, here we go again; if Charles is really as conservative as he says, how to explain his republican position, and how to explain his industrial achievements?The latter point is more important——

Big money can be made by taking risks, but not all risks will make big money!

In fact, the Rothschilds believed that Shire was not wrong to take a big risk: after the invention of the steam engine, driven by the huge benefits it brought, many people have already invested in the development of the machine; but so many inventions, in the end There are only a few that can bring good economic benefits.

When the big waves wash the sand, gold is first seen. Who can see the tiny gold sand in the middle of a pile of sand?

Think about it, electricity itself was discovered by the scientific community less than two years ago, and Charles was able to apply this thing to actual industry and achieved great success, isn't it unprecedented?

However, in the view of Charles, whose knowledge reserves are far beyond those of the contemporary era, this is not an adventure, but following the laws of scientific development, which is nothing more than safe.From this point of view, he was not wrong about being cautious.

As for this gap in views, Charles could sense it, but he didn't intend to say it, especially when the other party was Rothschild.Among other things, Rothschild wants to extend his hand to Paris after controlling the finances of Milan, Naples and other places, and he will never agree——

Just kidding, they are looking for collaborators, and they are not planning to hand over the opportunity to make a lot of money!

Because the European market is the future scope that he must consider; if he cooperates with Rothschild now, the latter will use their established news chain and capital chain to seize the market of other European countries before him—

This is something that Rothschild will inevitably do to make his family earn more money; but what good does it do him?

At that time, he will only be left with a piece of surrounded France, or a France surrounded by two cooperations. One can imagine what the prospects will be.

If they do not have an advantage in the current negotiations, it is understandable to compromise and cooperate; but the problem is that the situation is completely opposite now!

Then why on earth did he do something that was likely to kill him?Although it will take some time for him to expand his business in Europe or the world, but there are near-term worries without long-term considerations!

"You have become the benchmark of the whole of France. Are you saying this to make us all ashamed?" Nathan continued, obviously not knowing that Charles had thought of a very long future, so that he directly gave them Sentenced to death.

"Of course not." Charles continued to smile. "But if you're going to continue to praise like this, I have to think about finding something to connect it with. Is a strong and good wine barrel enough?"

To be honest, French wine is also the direction Rothschild wants to buy, and the reason is almost the same as that of Shire - although it is not the most profitable, it is not bad; the most important thing is that sometimes, giving a bottle of flavor Mature vintage wine will touch the hearts of high-ranking people more than yellow gold.

Among the five most famous wineries in France, Mrs. Duigan has survived the most difficult two decades after the Great Revolution, and she will definitely not sell the family castle Chateau d'Igam at this time; as for Chateau Margaux, Colony The castle that the Marquis de la Marquis spent more than ten years of hard work has just been completed, and it is obviously impossible; Chateau Latour is in the hands of the Segur family, Chateau Lafite is under the name of Madame Le Maire, and Chateau Haut-Brian is Charles is taking care of--

In a word, no one wants to sell, and Rothschild can't buy any!If this precondition is not met, any subsequent plans will be empty talk!

It's not like an accident that Charles mentioned such a delicate matter.Thinking that Charles mentioned that it might be because he had already seen their ambition to rule the entire European continent in terms of money, the smile on Nathan's face inevitably became a bit forced. "I don't think anyone would mind if it's the kind full of good wine?"

"That's for sure." James also heard the embarrassment that was about to be punctured, and couldn't help calling out to save the scene.

But he was also suspicious: After Faraday saw the essence of their personal money supremacy, Charles also saw the unspeakable ambition of their family?If that's the case, isn't it too fleeting?

Nathan looked at Brother Yao.Originally, according to their plan, if Shire didn't mention the wine barrels, they should have already cut into the topics related to the textile and steel industries by this time.But in fact, Shire mentioned it, and it seemed even more ulterior motives when they mentioned it again.Do you want to take a risk?

But in just a few seconds, a war broke out in the minds of the two brothers.

Charles finally stopped his stirring of coffee, and took a sip from his bone china cup.He could see the reaction of the Rothschild brothers, but he didn't care; he had to think about it for a while before making a decision, but after making a decision, basically no one could change it.Therefore, no matter whether James and Nathan say next or not, his conclusion is already there.

Ultimately Nathan decided to take a risk.He moved the hand at his side back, so as to conceal the inner reaction that might be revealed by the bent knuckles. "But having said that, I would like to take the liberty of asking, do you already have a partner you want?"

Forced to hit a straight ball, Charles thought to himself.But he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "So you are also interested in this? I seem to remember that you didn't get involved in this kind of thing before, whether it's cotton cloth or ironware?"

"There is always a first time for everything." James went on to answer. "I heard that you very much welcome other people to join in and develop the same industry together?" Subtext, don't you think we have this kind of strength?

Hearing the implication, Charles pursed his lips and smiled. "Of course," the corners of his mouth curled up happily, "Even if I don't want to, the progress of the times is irreversible, don't you think?"

The progress of the times is irreversible?Is it a hint of my last resort, or is it just dodging?

Nathan thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown from Charles.Is it his illusion?When they ran into Ciel, Ciel always seemed particularly difficult to deal with?Otherwise why didn't others mention this?

"That's really great," James said with a hint of luck, "Maybe you are not hesitate to give us some pointers?"

"It's too exaggerated to give advice, I don't dare to take it." Charles decisively took off the high hat the other party put on him. "I can only say that if you really want to manage these things, don't be so polite; if there is any problem, I will do my best to find a solution for you."

The two brothers looked at each other.

"Finding a solution for you"?That is to say, let them do it boldly and confidently, and then ask Charles if they have any questions?

How could it work? Leaving aside the management aspect, would Shire tell them his patent as a solution?Obviously impossible!

And that's what Charles meant.Of course, he will not sternly refuse on the public face, because he has never been the kind of person who makes people ugly in person; he will finish what he should say in the scene, but he has the final say on how to do it.

Rothschild wants to make money in the same industry as him, he doesn't mind, and he doesn't care; but if he wants to make money from his advantage, it's unfortunate——

Ask him to agree, unless his brain is broken!
