Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Grandet's resentful tone made Eugenie unable to hold back her smile: "Father, it's been less than ten days since you got the title of Jin."

Grandet still attaches great importance to his status as a baron now: "I am the only one in Saumur who can be called a baron." After he finished talking about what he thought of, he also smiled at Eugenie: "These people I have been asking me how much service the baron has provided to the royal family. If they know that I have been promoted and have not spent a franc, I am afraid they will think I am lying."

Eugenie knew that the greatest pleasure of Grandet was to get benefits in the dark, but others could not guess how much benefits he got, so she simply hit him: "You spent a franc, but I paid it back for Madame Taicourt." over 5 francs in debt."

Grandet turned his neck around flexibly, and found that Mrs. Taicourt had gone back to her room to rest, so she whispered to Eugenie: "But she also facilitated the diamond transaction for you, and also gave you the funds to buy public bonds." .”

Speaking of this, the self-righteous smile on Grandet's face slowly disappeared, and his serious eyes seemed to return to the main room of Saumur's old house: "If you invest in Nucingen Bank, how much money do they need to provide you with the initiative?" Inside information?"

The sudden mention of investment made Eugenie's nerves tense. She still knew how cautious Grandet was. It's not that she hasn't thought about saying a certain amount in the past few days. Grandet So I won't be disgusted.

At this time, Grandet should still have 1000 million francs in his hands. Eugenie calculated silently, and if he took out one-fifth, Grandet should be able to bear it, right?

She expressed her persistence with her eyes: "As far as I know, not everyone in Nucingen Bank is willing to accept investment. If it is less than 100 million francs, they will only lead the way and will not provide inside information. If there is 200 million francs With francs, they can provide some inside information."

Don't worry too much, 100 million francs can have an annual income of [-] francs, which is a common financial management method for everyone in this era.But Eugenie will not operate according to the routine, the more funds the better.

200 million is the maximum amount she thinks Grande is willing to pay.

Grandet stared at Eugenie for a while, then opened his mouth and asked, "What if there are five million?"

Eugenie choked on her own saliva in a very useless way.

Taking a look for confirmation, it is indeed Grandet in front of him, the man who let his wife and daughter eat crows to death, also has a distressed expression on his face at this time, even though the 500 million francs are just a stated figure, they have not actually been paid out.

That's already scary, okay?

The person who even withheld the 500 francs for the gold box before he came to Paris, now suddenly says that he wants to spend [-] million francs for investment, is he hallucinating?

Eugenie's distrustful eyes made Grandet's already distressed heart ache even more: "Why, 500 million francs can't let them provide all the information? I have already said that these bankers are vampires. They use other people's money to invest and lend money, and give some interest to those who give the money, and they think they have taken advantage of it!"

He asked Eugenie angrily: "600 million, 600 million is enough, no more, I can't give all the gold coins to those vampires!"

Enough!

Eugenie finally swallowed the saliva in her throat, and said to Grandet with a solemn expression: "Father, please rest assured. If they don't take the initiative to provide me with all the inside information if they invest 600 million francs, I will Create a bank."

600 million, enough to support the operation of a medium-sized bank.

Based on Eugenie's understanding of Grandet, he must have left behind.However, 600 million is enough for Eugenie to flex her muscles in the financial market.When the time comes to earn a lot of money, she can make up for the lack of frugality in her previous life, allowing herself to enjoy a rich life.

It's wonderful to think about it.

Regarding Grandet who will bring her a good life, Eugenie felt that it was necessary for him to enjoy it in advance: "Father, in order to celebrate your becoming a baron, let's hold a banquet."

As long as Grandet thinks that he is going to spend 600 million francs to invest in the bank, his heart hurts. Hearing that Eugenie actually proposed to hold a banquet, he vetoed it by reflex: "Hold a banquet, no, miss, you can't wait to have a banquet." Throw my gold coins into the river." Then, clutching his chest, he went upstairs.

Well, you pay and you are right.Eugenie, ignoring Grandet's ignorance, knocked at Madame Taicourt's door.

Mrs. Taigou was admiring the diamonds handed down from her ancestors. When she saw Eugenie coming in, she didn't put it away, but said: "Miss doesn't rest at this late hour, it will make the skin lose moisture."

Eugenie's heart skipped a beat. How could she forget that the so-called maintenance of women in this era is to spray perfume on their body and powder on their face without any concept of hydration?

It's really not a question whether to use the hydrating mask to make money.Eugenie completely forgot that she had come to Madame Taicourt to discuss a banquet with her, but called Elemie and asked her to bring two eggs and a good deal of honey and salt from the kitchen.

Under the astonished gaze of Mrs. Taigou and Elemi, Eugenie prepared two egg and honey masks according to the ratio in her memory, and asked Emily to bring hot water to apply on the faces of herself and Mrs. Taikou. , helping the two of them apply the mask on their faces.

This was a rare extravagance in Eugenie's previous life. At that time, she was reluctant to buy a finished mask, and she couldn't resist girls' nature of beauty, so she learned it from the Internet.

Now is a good time to try Mrs. Taigu.

No need to ask, following the steps Eugenie instructed, Mrs. Taigou, who had finished applying the mask, looked at her smoother face in the mirror, and felt a lot more kind to Eugenie in her heart—such a good thing, Ougenie Yeni can enjoy it by herself, but she deliberately shares it with herself. It is obvious that she recognizes her and regards herself as someone who can share secrets.

Eugenie, who didn't know how beautiful Mrs. Taigou had misunderstood, was also observing Mrs. Taigou's face: "This formula can be used to remove freckles. I also know that there is one that can remove wrinkles and whiten. Wait until tomorrow Let's try again tonight."

Eggs and honey are nothing in high society, but Mrs. Taigu has never heard that these two things are not used for eating, but for face.Even if she enjoyed the luxurious life of nobility before leaving Paris, she still felt that it would be a waste to use these two things on her face every day.

"If there is a whitening effect, the lady can use it by herself. I am already past the age of dressing up, so there is no need." Mrs. Taigou felt that if Grandet knew that she and Eugenie used the same thing, he would definitely fire yourself.

Eugenie didn't have such worries: "It's okay, Dad has already rested, he won't know. Is it Elemi?"

Elemie was staring at Mrs. Teigou's apparently smooth face carefully, when she heard Eugenie asking herself, she nodded fiercely with a strong desire to survive: "Yes, miss. When I was taking things just now, no one See. When the cook comes tomorrow, I will tell her that the things are for the lady, and the master will not know." When I return to the kitchen in a while, I will try to use the rest, how can I let the master know.

See, the people he hired still knew who paid him wages and who stayed longer in the mansion.Eugenie thought so.

She asked Elemi to take the rest back, and told Mrs. Taigu her plan: "I don't think these two things are very precious. If they are produced and sold, there will definitely be a market."

Madame Taigou, looking at her face in the mirror, agreed with what Eugenie had said.Only then did Eugenie express her plan: "So madam, you can't give up halfway. Before the banquet, you have to make a facial mask every day, so that everyone who comes to the banquet can see the effect." This is a live advertisement.

No woman can resist the temptation to become beautiful, and Mrs. Taigu, who has spent most of her life in Vanity Fair, will not refuse.But her focus is different: "Banquet, miss, is the banquet going to be held soon? Then some special invitations should be printed, and the family emblem of the Grandet family should be designed."

That's right, I forgot that nobles all have their own family emblems.Eugenie gave Mrs. Taigou a hug: "You are too thoughtful, I will discuss this matter with my father tomorrow."

Regarding the family emblem, Grandet asked Eugenie to figure it out, because Des Grassins actually brought some of Guillaume Grandet's main creditors, and wanted to have an in-depth discussion with him about the liquidation of the property of the wine merchant who committed suicide. matters.

Hearing the purpose of these people's visit, Eugenie felt contemptuous in her heart. They didn't know Grandet so well that they thought that he had just been promoted and would pay off his brother's debts for the sake of his so-called face.

Sure enough, the faces of those people were very ugly before they left. When they said goodbye to Grandet, they shook hands coldly, just like the rigid British.

De Grassin was stayed by Grandet, and Eugenie also participated in the conversation.Grandet stammered again: "Grassand, I thought, I thought, in Paris, you understood, understood..."

"I still know the intentions of these creditors very well, Grandet." Grassang understood what Grandet wanted to talk to himself.

Grandet looked at Grassand with satisfaction: "Yes, you have been in Paris for a long time, and you know these people very well. They, they think that I am promoted, so they can ask me, one way or another. You know, my brother and I have not been able to communicate a letter for a year or two years, between brothers, between brothers, financial, financial relationship..."

"You have always been very clear. You took care of your nephew after the death of Guillaume Grandet." Grassan said that he not only knew the creditors in Paris, but also knew Grandet.
