Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Elemie directly refused for Eugenie: "Mr. Grandet just passed away, so Miss would not choose such a bright color."

"That's such a pity." The tailor still remembered the Grandet who was made to sweat every time he came to measure himself: "May he rest in peace." Don't harm others anymore.

Eugenie felt no pressure to receive such insincere consolation: she came here to measure her, not to annoy her.It's like facing Nucingen herself, knowing what he cares about and what she wants to hear from her mouth, but she has to say different words of comfort or persuasion to herself, and Eugenie is a little bit different. I don't care about it either.

What if you don't know the current economic situation in France, or the current operating procedures of the central bank?This question does not bother Eugenie at all. Is it true that she is in a daze looking at the dilapidated old house every day in Saumur?

Even if she looked at the dilapidated old house in a daze every day, did she only know Nucingen when she returned to Paris, and she really expected him to solve her doubts?Pablo didn't stay in Paris just to deliver food to the servants of the mansion, and Grassan also knew how he became a member of the Chamber of Deputies.

These people had already visited Eugenie separately, and the information they provided was far more comprehensive than what Nucingen had revealed through overt and indirect probing.So Eugenie's perfunctory treatment of Nucingen was all on the surface, and she didn't even bother to do superficial work.

Nucingen never dared to underestimate Eugenie, but his greed made him want more.The momentary greed made Eugenie refuse to say a word to him other than being polite. Nucingen regretted it, and wished to repair the relationship with Eugenie immediately.

But Eugenie didn't have the time to pay attention to the fact that Nucingen and his wife reported to her on time every day. She had more important things to do.

Now that Bono has been promised to be the leader of the Central Bank, Eugenie will naturally not be able to deal with the errand.Just as Nucingen thought, Eugenie needs to understand the needs of the central bank in the current economic situation of the whole of France, and also needs to know the policies formulated by the central bank in recent years, which ones can continue to be used, and which ones should be revised , in order to mobilize the vitality of capital more advantageously.

Eugenie took the Greek issue mentioned by Bono even more seriously, because although money was just a number to her now, Eugenie was still interested in taking a look at the things in the Turkish Sultan's treasury.

She believes that Bono must not only want to take a look, he is a typical European thinking, he always grabs good things and treasures them in his own hands, so as to be worthy of his attention.So Eugenie, who supports Bono, should follow along and collect some, which is also reasonable.

Eugenie is already a skilled worker to lead other countries to revolt or rebel against the ruler of a country.Those Spaniards that Riego had left for her back then had been taken by Pablo to learn Greek, just to be useful soon.

Bono's progress is also very fast. As he told Eugenie, many of the members of the parliament are people who followed Bono in the uprising. They have all received financial help from Eugenie, and also He has heard of Eugenie's gains in Spain, and knows more about the success of the British, Portuguese, and Spanish revolutions, and the role Eugenie played.

Eugenie should have been invited to serve in the government a long time ago, but Eugenie herself did not want to show the limelight, and she has been taking care of Grandet at Saumur for the past year, so everyone did not bother her.

Now that Eugenie has returned to Paris, she has also agreed to Bono's proposal to be the leader of the central bank. The parliament quickly approved Bono's proposal with a high vote, and Eugenie's appointment as the governor of the central bank was directly published in " It was published in the Lie de France newspaper.

The current "Free France" is no longer a local tabloid. It has replaced the former "French Journal" and has become the mouthpiece of the government. The news published in "Liberty France" is full of credibility. At that time, Eugenie's mansion in Bertin Street was full of people who came to make friends with Eugenie.

Eugenie neither refused nor was enthusiastic about this, and the comings and goings seemed to have nothing to do with her being the governor of the Central Bank. What kind of medicine are they selling.

The calm Eugenie, since she took office, has started to call the people of the Central Bank for meetings in the morning, in the afternoon, and sometimes in the evening.This made the staff who have been working in the central bank mourn. They are used to working step by step, and they have never encountered such intensive meetings.

The most important thing is that Eugenie is very serious in the meeting. She wants to listen to everyone's report on the work she is responsible for, what has been done since she came to the Central Bank, what results have been achieved in these things, and what lessons have been learned , what improvements can be made in the next step.

It's not like going to Eugenie's office alone. If you can't answer a few questions, you can talk about him - all the people in the central bank are sitting together and listening. Eugenie may just take office and don't know everyone Personal situation, but colleagues who have worked together for three years, who doesn't know who?

Who cares about him?So many people staring, how smooth a person can fool all of them.Take other achievements on yourself?Everyone is staring at it, so you can take one and give it a try.

After three full days of meetings, Eugenie understood the current operation of the central bank.It cannot be said that there are no achievements at all. After all, the new franc has begun to circulate all over the country, and the interest rates of all banks have also been unified.

The rest are just some trivial matters. I really can't see what role this central bank has played in the country's economic operation.Eugenie, who had a clue in her heart, began to talk to people separately.

The staff of the Central Bank, who were originally happy that they would no longer hold meetings, realized that it is better to have a meeting with everyone than to talk alone. You talk, she listens, until you have finished everything, she starts to point out the shortcomings of what you said.

Waiting to think of the words to explain, she found out another shortcoming, and then continued to talk until everyone was convinced.

There is no way to dissatisfy, what Eugenie thinks of can be avoided through refinement and quantification in their work, but they really don't notice it in their work, causing large or small loopholes, Even if you start to make up for it now, it won't be effective immediately.

The person who had been talked to started to go back and review the negligence in the work by himself, and he had to find a remedy by himself, and he had to submit it to his superior for review, and everyone discussed the feasibility together.The entire Central Bank moved, leaving Nucingen, who had been in office all along, stunned.

How many times have they thought of ways to improve the work style of the staff, but the so-called central bank staff are all drawn from major banks, and they are used to the small plans of their respective banks. Not much was eliminated.

Eugenie just held a meeting with them for a few days and talked once, and then let these people put aside the interests of their respective banks and start to cooperate?

Those who don't want to believe it, seeing the central bank's continuous checking and filling of vacancies, have to believe that the newly appointed governor not only knows how to invest in public bonds, but also has a way of doing banking business.

Immediately afterwards, the central bank issued a new policy, whereby those who start businesses can use their existing assets as collateral to borrow from banks at low interest rates.As for the interest difference, the state will use taxes to make up for the banks.

As soon as the policy came out, there was a sensation in the whole country.Although France is still in a small-scale peasant economy, the industrial revolution of the bourgeoisie has laid a certain foundation, and a large number of scientists hope to put their research results into production, but it is difficult to raise funds.The introduction of the low-interest loan policy can allow those inventions that could only be put on the shelf to get funds for trial production, how can people not be tempted.

Even ordinary small capitalists are willing to obtain working capital, even if they want to mortgage their real estate, but the working capital is solved, the interest is low, and the funds invested in the production process increase. Is it difficult to withdraw the funds?

Eugenie looked at the interest difference reported by the banks, and didn't think it was such a difficult task to make up for the interest difference from taxes. Bono, who had always complained to her, said with a smile: "Mr. President, the more money the factory invests, The faster the flow of capital, the more taxes the country will get, so what are you still worried about?"

Bono still smiled wryly: "There are still some old stubborn people in the council. They keep speaking for those small banks, and feel that they have taken up the liquidity of small banks."

"Isn't there still collateral? As far as I know, when banks evaluate collateral, they will lend at 70.00% or even lower of the original value. Even if the lender fails to repay the loan in time, the bank will not suffer. .”

"No way, the bankers were frightened by the rescue of the bond market that year, and they were afraid that this would be another rescue."

Eugenie smiled contemptuously: "Since they think so, it's fine if they don't lend money. Nucingen Bank is very willing to do this business." What does it mean to be cheap and behave well? Those little bankers are just that.They are unwilling to do it, and the Nucingen Bank will do it well.

Bono believed Eugenie's words. She was a partner of the Nucingen Bank and held 40.00% of the bank's shares.Nucingen was eager to repair the relationship with Eugenie, and if Eugenie spoke, Nucingen would not reject Eugenie's proposal face to face even if he had some disagreements in his heart.

However, Nucingen probably doesn't have much time recently, and cares too much about the bank's business, right?Bono recalled a rumor he had heard, opened up the nature of journalists who used to dig deep into the inside story, and asked Eugenie with a smile:

"Didn't you hear that Mrs. Nucingen recently had an old friend who came back from America, and Mr. Nucingen is considering whether to receive him?"
