Eugenie was imagining how the people of Saumur were talking about Grandet, when she heard Nucingen greet her, she responded to him with a smile on her face: "Thank you for your hard work during this time, Mr. Nucingen."

Emily, who came back in the Nucingen carriage, invited everyone into the house to talk. Grandet gave her a reward of five francs for the first time, thinking that her mouth was strict enough to keep secrets for the master.

"Monsieur Grandet, is the newsletter still being sent?" Nucingen took the opportunity to tease Grandet. Now that Eugenie showed up, the torture he had suffered should be counted.Especially the four thousand francs I spent, must be paid by Grandet, right?

Grandet took a deep look at Nucingen: "Are you crazy, Mr. Nucingen, you are just a banker, what qualifications do you have to send an express report? Do you think you have already turbulent the French capital market? "Even Eugenie looked at Nucingen with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you want me to send a report to Madrid to inquire about Miss Eugenie's situation? Just now you were still questioning my decision-making and coordinating ability, just because the report has not been sent yet. But you never thought about it, for I have already spent four thousand francs to send the letter you demand. I think you will pay the four thousand francs."

"I think you've been fooled, Nucingen." Grandet's eyes were still looking at his own Jiaojiao, and his mouth was still ruthless: "No matter who it is, it shouldn't take money if the letter hasn't been sent out, otherwise It's a liar."

"And you, Mr. Baron Nucingen, actually gave money to scammers. I doubt how you support the operation of Nucingen Bank. Perhaps, the share distribution between you and Eugenie can be readjusted."

Everyone believed that if Nucingen had a knife in his hand, he would have stabbed it into Grandet's heart, then pulled it out and stabbed it twice.

The mouth is too cheap.

You are the one who sent the newsletter, and you are the one who doubts other people's IQ. Why don't you go to heaven!

Eugenie stood up to act as a peacemaker: "Father, Mr. Nucingen is also worried about my safety. We should thank him and invite him in for a drink."

"If I hadn't forced him, he wished you would never return to Paris." Grandet muttered, but he didn't object to Eugenie's proposal to invite Nucingen in for a drink - he also needed a drink to calm his shock, now His Jiaojiao has come back, hasn't she?

"Miss, I want to stay in Paris." Nanon, who was sent down to get the wine, solemnly reiterated his wish to Eugenie before going out.

"Come on," Grandet waved to her impatiently, "Even if you stay in Paris, you idiot, you will only go crazy with her." After speaking, he gave Mrs. Taigou, who had been pretending to be transparent, a vicious look: "Madam, you are fired."

"No, papa." Eugenie took Grandet's arm and put her face on it: "If it weren't for Madame Taicourt, I wouldn't have come back so soon. You don't know how much she helped me. Since I came to Paris, I have been able to go so smoothly with her company. You should thank Mrs. Taigu and reward her greatly instead of scaring her."

Mrs. Taicourt's trembling body just sat up straight again because of Eugenie's words, and her back was as stiff as Nanon: "Monsieur Grandet, this is exactly what I want to tell you, Miss Eugenie On the other hand, you really need to restrain yourself."

"Gah," Grandet said contemptuously, "Do you think I should restrain her, and not give the salaried people extra rewards?" Will you take Eugenie to Spain?

Mrs. Teigou's current mood was very similar to that of Nucingen just now. She stood up stiffly and went back to her room without greeting anyone.

Eugenie shrugged helplessly to Nucingen, and had to calm Grandet's emotions first: "Father, do you know that I have found a market for your wine."

Grandet was very interested in this, and when Eugenie said that the troops sent by Spain to America would buy her own wine, she was somewhat disdainful: "Those Spaniards, their pesos are worthless."

"Then let them pay in francs," Eugenie suggested to Grandet, "Anyway, this time we shipped 200 million francs to Madrid, enough to pay for your wine."

Nucingen asked with some uncertainty: "Miss Eugenie, the manager of the office wrote to tell me that all those francs have been exchanged to the Spanish people."

Grandet quit: "The manager of the office wrote to you, why didn't you tell me about Eugenie?"

"But I just received the letter this morning." Nuqin felt helpless on the face, but he was relieved in his heart. He just wanted to tell you later, how about it.

Eugenie stroked her forehead: "Father, in short, please believe that your wine will definitely sell for a good price this year." Spain will definitely send troops to the Americas. On the vast ocean, how can soldiers survive loneliness without a drink? .

Grandet grasped the key point: "Do you want as much as you have, then I will go back to Saumur and buy some more."

"No, Dad. I've already told others about your annual production, and it can't be too much." Eugenie knew that if she let go now, Grandet would dare to buy back all the wines in the Anjou region.

Nucingen felt that Eugenie didn't want to let herself know who actually came forward to buy Grandet's wine.He also doesn't have a manor, so don't ask if you don't ask, let's ask about the public debt.

"The manager of the office wrote to tell me that the Spanish peso has recovered to ten to one franc, and the public debt has reached thirteen pesos per share. Can I sell it now?" It has already made money, and the public debt has doubled its profits.

"Mr. Nucingen, I remember that when we decided to buy Spanish government bonds, we had reached a consensus, that is, to hold them for a longer period of time. And now I have a new idea, that is, in the future, in addition to the principal of 200 Ten thousand francs, the proceeds will not be taken back to France for the time being." Eugenie slowly talked about her plan.

"Now Spain's constitutionalists and the royal family are playing games, and Russia seems to have intervened. In order to maintain a balance, neither side intends to disturb the capital market, and the public debt may rise by one liter. After a while, the peso to franc ratio will return to normal. When the ratio is six to one, you can sell a batch of government bonds, enough to keep the principal, and just ship it back to the country.”

Nucingen calculated and found that even if the current price of Spanish national debt remains unchanged, if the peso-franc ratio returns to six to one, as long as a quarter of the public debt is sold, all the principal can be recovered. Yeni's eyes were full of admiration: "Everything will go according to your idea, miss."

Grandet's calculation ability was not weaker than that of Nucingen: "Eugenie, this investment is from your 600 million francs, right?" It has nothing to do with Nucingen Bank.

To Grandet's disappointment, Eugenie shook her head, and Nucingen shouted angrily to make him realize the reality. Grandet slammed the door angrier than Nucingen and went back to her room to sulk—three times the profit , To actually share dividends with someone else, this daughter must not have been born to him.

But he got up once in the middle of the night, and went to the door of Eugenie's room to listen. He seemed to hear the sound of sleeping breathing, but he seemed not to hear it, and then turned back to his room.He felt that although Eugenie's mansion had many houses, it failed to build a secret room to store gold for him to play with when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Mme. Taicourt drove around the Bois de Boulogne, and everyone in Paris knew that Mademoiselle Eugenie had returned from her vacation.The news made no waves—the summer in Paris was lonely, there were no balls, the theaters stopped, and Eugenie was not the only one traveling.

Only a small group of people quietly fixed their eyes on Grassin—Miss Eugenie will not end her vacation for no reason, and maybe there will be some big moves on the public debt.As Miss Eugenie's trader, Grassan's actions can represent Miss Eugenie's intentions.

Grassin was very calm, and he did not buy or sell public debts of any kind.

Because long before Eugenie left Paris, Grassan had asked Grassan to quietly buy the 100 million francs together with the last profit, except for gold, into pairs of Spanish government bonds. After more than 20 days and several shots, even if Grassan still wants to buy, he has no funds.

The Spanish public debt has risen slowly, not the same way as the Portuguese public debt, but it is rising after all.

Eugenie is not interested in the ups and downs on the books, her task now is to appease Grandet's sudden outbreak of old father's heart.This time, when he went to Grandet in Paris, he kept a close eye on Eugenie, and he would accompany her whenever she went to meet Nucingen or Grassand.

This forced Mrs. Teigou to come forward again and meet Mr. Bono who was still in Paris.

"What, let me report on the achievements of the Englishman?" Bono felt that either he was crazy or Eugenie was crazy, or Mrs. Taigou sent the wrong message: "Marquise de Taigou, did I hear wrong? Now, what Mademoiselle Eugenie wanted me to report was the great achievements of French scientists?"

Mrs. Taigu looked disdainful: "What is the relationship between the French scientists and the lady? Do you still want the lady to give them research funds?" No, those scientists are not public debts.

"Miss said that the steam locomotive will be successful, so if you report now, others will think you are forward-looking." Mrs. Taigu fully conveyed Eugenie's meaning to Bono.Although she didn't know what it really meant, she just felt that the young lady seemed to be planning a big event.

It's just a feeling, a feeling that makes people's blood boil.
