Eugenie with money [Grandet]

This is where the subtle horror lies. Originally, Grandet kept his word at home and never compromised with anyone.But in order to get the gold box, he had to give Eugenie money, and for Madame Grandet's inheritance, he had to agree to Eugenie's annual expenditure of [-] francs, and then the residence in Paris, and Madame Taigou's gambling debts. Have the right to control the annual bond income...

Step by step, Grandet got used to Eugenie taking money from him non-stop, but he only heard the amount of money Eugenie reported to him, but he didn't actually get the money Eugenie made. dominance.

Taking advantage of Grandet's silence, Nucingen suggested to Eugenie with a smile: "Miss Eugenie, I don't know if you have found a good site. Our bank has a factory mortgaged by someone else. If you need it, it will be much lower." at market price."

Grandet looked at Nucingen with a friendly look, and Eugenie was very satisfied with him—the old man was not only harsh on his own people, but also eager to take the skin off others.As long as there is something to take advantage of, his expression will change without any disobedience.

"It depends on what father means." Satisfied, Eugenie was willing to be a well-behaved daughter.

Grandet did not refuse, and asked Nucingen where the factory building was, how big it was, what the market price of the lot was, and how much Nucingen Bank could transfer to Eugenie.

After Nucingen finished answering one by one, Grandet stammered: "You know, Monsieur Baron, I, I'm a provincial, and it's my first time in Paris. I'm talking about Paris, about Paris..."

"Grande is not familiar with the layout of Paris." Grassan, who knew Grandet well, naturally spoke for him what he wanted to say, and was eager to find the right words.

Grandet smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, I'm not familiar with it, I'm really not familiar with it. According to the price you mentioned, whether the price is more, less, or less, I don't know, I don't know at all. Clearly, I have to ask and discuss it with Eugenie."

A factory building worth [-] francs, because the mortgage only cost [-] francs, and Nucingen was willing to sell at the original price because he wanted to get closer to Eugenie, but Grandet still wanted to negotiate?This made the banker, who always took as many gold coins out of other people's pockets as possible, very uncomfortable.

"My dear," Annette said to Eugenie after receiving Nucingen's hint, "The factory building that Mr. Nucingen mentioned has not yet reached the final mortgage period, and he transferred it to you at the mortgage price at a very high risk. It's a big risk." So, Eugenie should see Nucingen's sincerity, right?

Hearing that the factory building was still risky, Grandet's eyes flashed brightly, but his face was very indignant: "Sir, I think you are an upright person, so I still want to invest in your bank to keep you and the baroness." It came down. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you would actually want to transfer risk, risk, transfer, transfer, transfer..." His anger went away quickly, and when he left the anger, another obstacle appeared in his choice of words.

Grassin had to re-enter the stage: "We must transfer all the risks to Mademoiselle Eugenie."

"Yes, that's what it means." Grandet nodded heavily, agreeing with Grassan's opinion: "I only have this one daughter, and you want to transfer all the risks to her."

Nucingen had never been framed like this in person before. He tried to explain, but the old cooper showed the stubbornness of the elderly and refused to deal with this person who wanted to frame his daughter. The investment that Nucingen had just heard, Just like that, it turned into clouds in the strong wind and disappeared without a trace.

As if she had just realized it, Eugenie yelled at Grandet angrily: "Father, you obviously promised me. It's only 600 million francs, why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"

600 million francs?only?

The Nucingens and Grassand were dumbfounded.

Grassin, who knew Grandet's details best, never thought that Grandet would hand over all his wealth and let Eugenie invest in the bank in Nucingen.

Fortunately, Nucingen wanted to give Eugenie a factory building that had not yet reached the mortgage period, and suddenly lost Grandet's trust, or Grassan would really cry to death—persuading Grandet The person who agrees to entrust others to invest on his behalf is not Grassan himself! !

If his bank has an investment of 600 million francs, even if he is not an aristocrat, Grassan feels that he can be on an equal footing with the top aristocrats. In a banquet, be arranged in the seat farthest from the host.

Nucingen was doubting life. Could it be that francs were so worthless that any man from the provinces could afford 600 million francs?

Annette's heart is even more broken. If she remembers correctly, Grandet is Charles' uncle. If he can casually spend 600 million francs, why is Charles' father's property still in liquidation, while Not directly paid off?

Grandet was also very angry: "Miss, you told me that if you invest 600 million francs, the bank will take the initiative to provide you with inside information, but this inside information should not be to deceive you into buying a factory that has not yet reached the mortgage period, right?" !"

See, even if the old cooper doesn't know Eugenie's plan at all, his cherishing of money is still Eugenie's biggest assist.The Eugenie who said this bowed her head and said nothing, she looked like a child who was beaten face to face for her big words.

Nucingen couldn't sit still, he had to let the investment fall to the Nucingen Bank: "Mr. Grandet, you have misunderstood Miss Eugenie. Although the factory building has not yet reached the mortgage period, the mortgagor wants to pay off In arrears, he set off to America as early as a year ago, looking for opportunities to make a fortune. I believe that within a month, he will not come back."

"Even if he comes back, he only has the priority of redemption, but before that, I was very interested in that factory building and bought it at a [-]% premium to the market price."

One sentence from Grandet made Nucingen shut up: "What Eugenie needs is a factory building with a mortgage price, which is [-]% higher than the market price. Doesn't it increase her investment cost?"

Nucingen glared fiercely at Annette, who had failed to achieve anything, and found that his wife was staring blankly, and did not receive his angry gaze at all, so he had to deal with Grandet first: "You misunderstood, Baron Grandet .”

Grandet returned Nucingen's stare at his wife to Nucingen for Annette, and looked at the banker fixedly, as if to say: I will just look at you like this, to see what tricks you can come up with. .

Nucingen swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The factory building will still be sold to Miss Eugenie at the mortgage price, as Nucingen Bank's sincerity in accepting Miss Eugenie's investment."

Grandet smiled contemptuously: "Sir, for an investment of 600 million francs, you use [-] francs to express your sincerity, which is really sincere."

Aren't you not familiar with Paris at all, and don't you know the price of houses in Paris?Nucingen could only accept Grandet's contempt with a blushing face, and after calculating in his mind, he proposed:

"The factory building is a gift from the Bank of Nucingen to Miss Eugenie when she goes to Paris. After the Bank of Nucingen accepts Miss Eugenie's investment, it will provide Miss Eugenie with inside information every month. Eugenie Miss Yeni can mobilize no more than 600 million francs a month without charging any interest."

This kind of cooperation is already very beneficial to Eugenie. She raised her head slightly and looked at Grandet with eyes full of supplication.

It is a pity that Grandet was unmoved, and what he said was very cruel: "Mr. Nucingen, I think you have forgotten one thing. That is, no matter which bank Eugenie invests in, she can not mix any No one can cheat her of her 600 million francs if she uses her own 600 million francs on condition."

Can you still speak a little bit of reason?Nucingen has never encountered such a difficult opponent: "Baron Grandet, you forgot that the 600 million invested by Miss Eugenie will receive dividends from Nucingen Bank according to the shares at the end of the year. "

"Poor child," Grandet's old father was completely moved by Nucingen: "She is the same as me, except, it's just the first time, the first time she came to Paris, she didn't understand anything, and she was introduced by others. , thought you were a good person. She couldn't read the books, didn't know what pre-tax dividends were, and didn't know how, how..."

"Miss Eugenie doesn't know how to avoid taxes reasonably, does Grandet?" Grassand's translator came forward again.

Grandet gave Grassan a grateful look: "Yes, that's it. The poor child will be cheated of everything by herself. But I can't help her in Saumur."

"Grandet, we have trusted you for so many years. In fact, you and Eugenie can consider my bank." Grassan felt that he had a chance to fight for it: "You have to believe that if Eugenie invests in my bank If so, I can give her 40.00% of the shares, and she can arrange her own investment of 150% at any time, as long as it is filled within one fiscal year."

Nucingen saw that Grassin's eyes were bloodshot. If there were no ladies present, he would have fought with Grassan: "Mr. Grassan, the bank you work in is not up to you alone. The root bank is different, it belongs to me completely."

"Based on this, I can decide on my own how to maximize Miss Eugenie's investment benefits, and I won't be ashamed to admit to Baron Grandet that I lied when I walk into this living room next time."

After finishing speaking, Nucingen turned to look at Grandet again, and called Eugenie—from now on, the investor will be Mademoiselle Eugenie de Grandet, and she must take good care of her emotions. A banker in Paris is a little more thoughtful than a banker in Saumer.
