Eugenie with money [Grandet]

When he learned that his client came to Paris, he must express his greetings. De Grassan visited at the right time, which shortened the process of Grandet's cognition.

In addition to caring about Grandet's journey and congratulating him on his immediate promotion, Grassan explained to him how Eugenie adapted to life in Paris, how keen her perspective on public debt, and how decisive she acted.

"Monsieur Grandet, if Adolphe has half the vision of Miss Eugenie, I am willing to let him come to Paris." Grassin used these words to prove that what he said was true.

"The public debt makes money." Grandet muttered as he did at Saumur's old house.

"You have to admit," Grassin still flattered Grandet with a smile, "bonds do make money, but it's not the way we used to make money." I used to buy public bonds for Grandet, and I only got [-] francs a year. About a commission, but last time Eugenie gave [-] francs all at once, which made Grassand fully understand whether the public debt should be speculated or saved.

"However, who can tell the ups and downs of government bonds?" Grandet felt that speculating in government bonds made money, but there was also the risk of losing money.

Eugenie glanced at Grassin, who nodded understandingly, and then said to Grandet: "I have to admit that, on this point, not only me, but even the de Beaux of the Bank of Nucingen. Baron Nucingen also admires Miss Eugenie's vision."

Speaking of this, Grassan leaned close to Grandet's ear and said to him with all his heart: "It's really timely that you can be promoted this time. I heard that Nucingen Bank will soon participate in the target restriction of foreign public debt. With the eyes of Miss Eugenie and your status as a baron, who says you can't be an investor in the Bank of Nucingen."

Grandet looked at Eugenie, and found that she also opened her mouth in surprise, as if hearing the news for the first time, she felt a little better, shook her head and said to Grassin: "You know, I am in Paris. It’s not going to stay long, so it’s impossible to become an investor in Nucingen Bank.”

Grassin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Grandet refused to become an investor in the Bank of Nucingen, but seeing Eugenie's eager face, he knew that he had to persuade: "Actually, you can entrust someone else to conduct the investment in Newcingen Bank." Qingen Bank's investment."

Eugenie gave you a very good look, and Grassin was not happy at all when he received it-doesn't he have a bank in Saumur himself, can't Grandet invest in his own bank?

How did he go from obeying Grandet's instructions step by step to obeying Eugenie's words, and even she took the initiative to cooperate without saying a word?

Grassin attributed this to the fact that the commission given by Eugenie was higher than that of Grandet. Apart from the commission, her idea seemed to be more suitable for Paris.And Grassan, for the sake of the actress, would never return to the gloomy town of Saumur.

When Grandet proposed that he could entrust others to invest in Nucingen Bank, the entrusted person was Grassan himself.This put the old cooper on guard—Eugenie had made so much money on public debt just two months after he arrived in Paris, and Grassan had been in Paris for almost two years, and he only sent back public debt every year Voucher and three percent interest.

He never told himself that government bonds can be speculated, and they can still make so much money.

So what Eugenie said was right, in this world, only Eugenie had the same interests as her own.

It's just too expensive.Grandet looked up at the luxurious decorations around him, and his heart throbbed: it was all his money.

Is it too late to say no now?Such a thought came to Grandet's mind.Didn't Eugenie say just now that if she came to Paris without a mansion, a new car, or a horse, Madame Taicourt's friends would not sell her diamonds, and De Nucingen would not come to ask for a premium to make Ouye If Eugenie mortgaged the diamonds, Eugenie would not be able to get the largest sum of funds for the Tunisian public debt, and the profit of 24 francs would not flow smoothly into Eugenie's purse.

From this point of view, the money spent can bring greater benefits, and I not only get things, but also pay more money... Grandet's eyes on Eugenie softened little by little.

First being stared at by the cold eyes, and then bearing the almost "loving" eyes, Eugenie moved her body calmly, and looked at Grandet in puzzlement.If you don't invest, you don't invest, and you look at yourself like a gold coin. What does it mean?

Grandet's meaning is very obvious: "Grassin, I know that you are more familiar with Paris and the banking industry, and it is easier to communicate with people than Eugenie. In short, from every aspect, you, you are, are better suited to invest in the Nucingen Bank for me."

Grandet spoke intermittently, and while talking, he looked at Eugenie, trembling slightly, like a caring father who reluctantly let his daughter down.

Grassang's breath became short of breath. This was Grandet's own choice. Just now when he persuaded Grandet to hire someone else to invest on his behalf, he did not explicitly say that he wanted to be the entrusted person.

So Mademoiselle Eugenie could not reproach herself.

Grassand's face began to flush with excitement—no one knew Grandet's family background better than him, and investing in Nucingen Bank would not be a small sum.Even if the money is not invested in his own bank, he can also use this to form a cooperative relationship with Nucingen Bank, and he will come to the door continuously for internal information and so on.

Unexpectedly, Grandet's words changed: "But, but, I'm not, I'm still asking you to handle the liquidation of my brother Guillaume Grandet's property, if I ask you to invest in the bank on my behalf , I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm taking up too much of your time. You know, Mrs. Grassin has asked me several times about your failure to return to Saumur, and I have to, I have to think, think about the feelings of the lady."

God damn property liquidation.Grassand did not expect Grandet to tell him this now.He gets along well with actresses now, not to mention the bank in Saumur, even if Grandet's property is given to him... No, if Grandet is willing to give him the property, he can still invite the actress to come Saumer was visiting.

But would Grandet give him the estate for nothing?Impossible to think about with your toes.Grassan's head drooped, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he refused to say a word.

"I am a family-oriented person, and all my friends are family-oriented people. So I can't bear to see Mrs. Grassan cry, and my heart is broken when she cries." Grandet shamelessly said this The words made Eugenie feel ashamed.

If Grandet was a family-oriented person, did the dead Mrs. Grandet die prematurely by ruining her body?You were indifferent when Madame Grandet wept, but you were heartbroken when Madame Banker wept?Eugenie could not listen any longer, and she was afraid of hearing what Grandet and Madame de Grassin had to tell.

Grassan's fists were clenched, and after taking a few heavy breaths, he raised his head and showed an ugly smile to Grandet: "I was just about to tell you about the liquidation of your brother's property. If you don't handle it well If this is the case, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of it..." If you want to deal with it well, you have to take out money to pay off the debt for the deceased.

Grandet shook his head like a man who was almost 70 years old: "No, I believe in you, I have always believed in you, you have been negotiating with them, then continue negotiating, in the end there will always be someone Will back down."

Grassan had seen too much about Grandet's shameless remarks, so he stopped talking and just waited to hear Grandet's nonsense.Grandet asked Eugenie: "How sure do you think I am of investing in the Nucingen Bank? Can I guarantee half and half of the interest?"

If the money goes to Eugenie in the end, she will naturally have to guarantee [-]% of the income, so that when the European Industrial Revolution comes in the future, her wealth will not shrink due to the depreciation of the currency.But facing Grandet's question, Eugenie had to consider what she said:

"Dad, you know that no matter which investment it is, there is no guarantee of a [-]/[-] return. We are an investment bank, not a bank robbery."

"Even if you are robbing, the bank doesn't have much gold." Grandet muttered in disappointment, twirling his thumb continuously, calculating in his mind how much money he would spend for investment.

When he figured it out, he opened his mouth and was about to explain to Eugenie when he found Grassin still sitting in the living room, so he couldn't help asking him: "Why are you still here, sir? I just sat so long from Saumur. car, I’m exhausted, I’m going to rest.”

De Grassin silently picked up his hat and bowed slightly to Eugenie as farewell.Eugenie stood up, walked her to the door of the living room, and said softly to Grassin: "Father will not be in Paris for too long, and I will still rely on you, Mr. Grassin."

Grassin, who had already put on the hat, was healed by Eugenie's words.He gratefully took off his hat and saluted Eugenie: "Miss Eugenie, you know, whether I am acting for you or Mr. Grandet, I have always done my best."

Yes, you did your best, and you didn't miss a franc in commission.Eugenie didn't expose him, politely saw him off, and then returned to the living room to continue fighting Grandet.

Grandet's face still looked so dull, and his eyes rarely moved.Eugenie pretended not to know that he was still calculating gains and losses, and asked him with concern if he needed to see his room.

Different from the first day of Charles Grandet's arrival in Saumur, Eugenie was a very business ethic person to the benefactor's father - she prepared the house on the third floor for Mr. Grandet, the real buyer of the house. In the innermost room, the supplies in the room are also new. The clothes, matching hats, bow ties, and gloves that Grandet needed during his stay in Paris have been neatly placed in the closet.

After inspecting his territory in Paris, Grandet did not let Eugenie leave: "I didn't agree with you to buy these things, so I won't pay for them."
