William I didn't know the inside story, and thought that Benjamin really had no choice. He was disappointed and frustrated. He felt that he was really unlucky, and he was only a little bit short.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Benjamin on this side is getting more and more excited, because William I has already taken the bait, and what he needs to do next is to hold the fishing rod tightly, and then slowly tease the big fish William I to exhaustion, and finally pull the rod directly Just get out of the water.

"Why don't you give me a little more time, let me think about a solution, and I'll go to another partner and try to see if I can help you make up the money!"

If it was said that King William I had a very bad opinion of Benjamin when he first came in, but now he thinks that Benjamin is a good person, and he has been helping to find a way, which is quite considerate.

Just when William I wanted to say that you should help figure out a solution, a change appeared, and it wasn't that Gelson next to him was planning to grab business. That was impossible, because the Gelson family depended on the Rothschild family for their livelihood, so who would have the guts to spoil things about the Rothschild family. Even if you have the money to pick them up, you don't dare!

The person who did the bad thing was Li Xiao. Just when William I was about to ask Benjamin to help find a solution, Li Xiao came. According to the agreement, he was going to continue the talks with William I to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible. But who would have thought that they would hear such an interesting thing as soon as they entered the door.

Why do you say it's interesting? Because as a time traveler, he knows the details of the Rothschild family too well. The general manager of the Berlin branch of this family bank doesn't even have the authority to pay one million Prussian thalers?

is it possible? This is not lent to any other businessman, but to the dignified Prince of Prussia, the future William I. The Rothschild family made their fortune by providing financial dismantling services to powerful kings. Now that such a high-quality client as William I is in front of them, they don’t even do his business. Isn’t this nonsense!

So Li Xiao immediately realized that there was a problem. I'm afraid it's a fake not to have permission, and it's real to plan to play tricks.

"The bank of the Rothschild family doesn't even have one million?" Li Xiao was "shocked" in a slightly exaggerated way.

These words immediately resonated with King William I, and he was also shocked. The majestic king of European finance even withheld a small sum of one million Prussian thalers. It is not enough to make people laugh.

Benjamin suddenly felt a little bit pained. If Li Xiao didn't have a Russian background, then he would naturally let the other party know how powerful he is. How dare someone in Europe not have eyes for the Rothschild family?

who do you think You Are!

But Li Xiao had a Russian background, and he was backed by a powerful crocodile like Duke Alexander, which immediately made Benjamin helpless.

Why?

The reason is very simple. No matter how prosperous the Rothschild family is, they cannot avoid the embarrassment of identity, that is, they are Jewish. This double identity may be in Austria and Prussia. The German Confederation or France and England are not a big problem, but in Russia it is a big problem.

Why do you say that? Because the trend of anti-Semitism in Russia is quite strong, it is different from Western European countries that gradually got rid of the shackles of religion since the Renaissance, especially the French Revolution, which had a huge impact on religious forces, and religion began to withdraw from the secular field. The religious atmosphere in Russia is another matter. The religious enthusiasm of the whole country is very high. Whether it is Paul I or the later Nicholas I, they all have great enthusiasm for the Orthodox Church. Look at Russia in Jerusalem and France. Conflict, that's really all about religion.

Regardless of whether it is Catholicism or Orthodox Church, Jews are not welcome, especially those religious tsars, such as Nicholas I, have no good colors for Jews.

So don't look at the Rothschild family's dominance in Western and Central Europe, but they really don't have much sense of presence in Russia, and their influence is very weak. Therefore, the Rothschild family can use their accents when facing the nobles or officials of other countries, but there are not many ways to deal with the nobles and officials of Russia.

Of course, later because of anti-Semitism, the Rothschild family also put Russia together. Before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, when both Russia and Japan frantically raised funds to enhance their naval strength, the Rothschild family gave Japan huge support and helped the little devil snap up a batch of armored cruisers on Russia's lips, and This group of armored cruisers also played a huge role in the Russo-Japanese War. The Rothschild family can be regarded as revenge with their strength!

Of course, this is the future, and the Rothschild family has not yet reached its peak. Now they have few ways to deal with Russia, and they are subject to huge restrictions in conducting business in Russia. There is no way.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me. It's not that our bank is not strong enough, but that the current situation is turbulent. In order to avoid risks, the headquarters requires us to tighten up our business and avoid unnecessary losses caused by blind operations."

Li Xiao was completely dismissive of Benjamin's explanation. He snorted and said, "Excuses are all excuses. Mr. Rothschilds made their fortunes under the turbulent situation. How about tightening up business? For the financial world, the more turmoil it means to make a lot of money, I am afraid that you are deliberately adjusting the tone and asking for sky-high prices!"

This remark made Benjamin very angry, because Li Xiao was right, the more turbulent the current situation is, the more opportunities to make a lot of money, and they really want to ask for a lot of money. But, it's not easy to expose it face to face!

But Li Xiao wanted to expose it face to face, and he said contemptuously: "Either you provide a financing service of one million Prussian thalers as soon as possible, or we can write to Baron James Rothschild to clarify Let’s see why his Berlin branch can’t even take out one million Prussian thalers. I believe His Excellency the Baron will give us a satisfactory answer, how about it!”

"this……"

Benjamin was in a dilemma immediately, because although his operation was authorized by James Rothschild, if William I really wrote the letter, Baron James Rothschild would only think that he was acting Ineffective, even such a simple little thing can't be done well. This is quite detrimental to his future.

For a while, Benjamin was very entangled, and he didn't know how to choose. Should he continue to maintain the original plan, or temporarily back down to prevent things from getting out of hand?
