Gelson was a little dazed. Although he was very smart and talented in business, and he could keep up with his old father's thinking, he still didn't turn around today's turn.

He asked honestly: "Father, I didn't understand what you meant. Why did you help Benjamin make a mistake? Why is this another chance for us?"

Samuel laughed out loud and didn't keep it secret. After talking about the cause and effect, Gelson finally understood.

The reason is very simple. The main idea of ​​the Rothschild family or the famous Baron James Rothschild is to make huge profits by lending funds to William I. But because of Li Xiao's intrusion, Benjamin ruined the job.

As a result, Baron James Rothschild's plan went bankrupt. At this time, if Samuel or Gelson approached William I secretly and lent money to William I, even if their father and son could make the deal, if it was leaked, James Rothschild would definitely be hated. The Baron De is tantamount to severing himself from the Rothschild family. No one will allow the behavior of eating their own food to smash their own pot.

So doing this is a dead end. But to help Benjamin kick Li Xiao on purpose, as long as Benjamin does it, he will definitely anger William I and Li Xiao, and then be severely retaliated against.

The nature of things was completely different at that time. The energy of the angry William I and the top Russian dignitaries was enough to completely destroy Benjamin. It will even make them have a very negative view of Baron James Rothschild.

At this time, someone needs to clean up the situation. If Samuel can use clever means to dissipate King William I's anger, he can also help Baron James Rothschild speak good words and ease the tense relationship between the two sides. That would be a completely different situation!

At that time, Samuel not only had no faults but had merits. Even Baron James Rothschild couldn't fault him, maybe he should be grateful to him instead.

Samuel said with a smile: "Think about it, all the responsibilities will be Benjamin's at that time. I am a good person who cleans up the mess. Baron James Rothschild will definitely be grateful to me, and we will return With Prince William's line, why can't this deal be done?"

Gelson also suddenly realized, and he said excitedly: "Not only that, this annoying guy Benjamin will definitely be dismissed because he messed up things. Interfering in business affairs and squeezing him away is definitely a great benefit!"

Samuel patted Gelson on the shoulder, smiling like a thousand-year-old vixen. Gelson was too excited to hide the joy on his face,

Eagerness was written all over his face.

"Father, let's hurry up, just like you said, we must not give Benjamin a chance to wake up!"

Samuel patted him on the back and smiled, "Don't worry, you can't go wrong with such a big matter, I have to tell you a few things!"

Gelson immediately raised his head and puffed up his chest and listened attentively. Samuel warned: "I will handle the matter of finding out about Mr. Peter Mikhailovich's footsteps, and I will give you news as soon as possible. Your task is to find a way to stir up flames around Benjamin, and you must not calm him down...Of course, don’t make it too obvious, it’s best not to go directly to his ears, but use the surrounding public opinion to make him even more angry!"

Gelson immediately nodded and said: "I know what to do. I will deliberately spread the news that Benjamin failed this mission in the company, and then deliberately say some sarcasm... You know him, he will definitely It was tricked!"

Samuel nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, that's the way to do it! Afterwards, you will report to him the so-called intelligence of Mr. Peter Mikhailovich. Of course, I will make a discount so that I won't directly give it to Benjamin. The coward is scared to the ground."

After a short pause, Samuel said again: "You must always pay attention to Benjamin's movements, as long as he is ready to take revenge, please notify me immediately, so that I can notify Mr. Peter Mikhailovich and James in advance. Baron S. Rothschild."

Gelson was taken aback again, he probably guessed the reason for notifying Li Xiao in advance, it was nothing more than to get him ready for Benjamin to kick on the iron plate, making Benjamin fall even worse. But what does it mean to notify Baron James Rothschild in advance?

"Of course, Baron James Rothschild must be in advance. Otherwise, when something happens, when he traces the cause, he can tell at a glance that we are making a name for himself. Then he can spare us. But I warned him in advance, Benjamin If you want to take a risk, then you can forget all the responsibilities afterwards."

Gelson hesitated: "But if His Excellency the Baron stops..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that Berlin and Vienna were far away. If it was the old days, the traffic was smooth and the news was transmitted quickly. Baron James Rothschild knew the news and it was really possible to stop Benjamin.

But it is completely impossible now, Austria is in a mess, and the time it takes to send a message back and forth will be several times, even if James Rothschild received the message and wanted to stop it, it would be impossible.

I have to say that Samuel is really a cunning old fox, he has considered all kinds of factors, it can be said that as long as Benjamin falls into the trap, it will be beyond redemption.

When the fox father and son were secretly plotting, Li Xiao had a good chat with William I, and he also learned from William I the real purpose of the one million talers:

[Emotions are public relations expenses! 】

[Sure enough, being an official is the quickest way to get money these days! 】

Li Xiao was happy with this, because the purpose of William I was to win over and buy key figures from several states in central Germany, hoping to use them to lobby these states to turn to support Prussia. If successful, this would sever the Austrian wall.

But now Li Xiao supports everything that can make Austria unhappy. In the conflict between Prussia and Austria, the bigger the better.

So he immediately generously wrote a check, and immediately sent the half a million talers to William I, and patted his chest to say that the remaining half a million talers are not a big problem, and they will be settled soon. Done.

It's not that Li Xiao really has that much money. In fact, the five hundred thousand taler is all the cash he and a few friends got from Wallachia and Hungary. For the remaining half a million, he planned to find a solution with Duke Alexander. He believed that the duke's shrewdness definitely knew that the five hundred thousand was worth giving!
