When Charles said "my sister", not only Baron de Beauvang was a little stunned, but even Charlotte was a little surprised.

At least give it to your grandfather first, anyway, he still has to give it to Fran after he dies, so he gave it to her directly, and you spoil it too much! The thought flashed through Charlotte's mind, and the cemetery felt a pang of displeasure, but she didn't express it.

She didn't know that if the motion had been filed earlier, Charles would have given it to the Marquis of Treville first.

However, after learning the truth about Fran's life, the combination of pity for his sister and his original love made Charles make this decision - although Charles is theoretically part of this "poor man", he himself does not have this self-awareness.

After appointing Fran as a director, if nothing else, she could naturally sit on a large amount of money in the future, which was more than she could imagine, which was equivalent to giving her an endless credit card, at least in terms of money, and Fran would not have any worries in the future. This is the most sincere gift from my brother to my sister.

"Are you going to involve your sister in the business, too? She's not that old, right? Is it reliable? After regaining his calm, Baron Beauwang voiced his worries.

"No, she's not involved in that, just a seat," Charles shook his head slightly, "If there's something to decide, I'll vote on her behalf for the time being." ”

"Oh, I see," the baron finally understood. Then he couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Treville, I can't see that you are still such a family person......"

He originally thought that Charles was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, and even disown his relatives. I didn't expect him to love his sister so much, and even did not hesitate to give away such an important thing.

Maybe...... Can this weakness be exploited later? Under the apparent calmness, the baron pondered in his heart.

"So what do you think of this mention of mine?" Charles asked.

After a moment of silence, the baron finally nodded.

"That's fine, three Trévilles, three Bowan, everyone is fair, okay. Let's do it from now on. ”

If this is arranged, the Tréville family and the Beauwan family will be evenly divided in terms of seats, and neither will be able to occupy an absolute dominant position. If you think about it this way, there is nothing to complain about.

After frowning and thinking about it for a while, the baron proposed his own building again.

"Well, let's just make the rule that there are important things to do about the running of this company in the future. The consent of at least four directors is required to make a count. If there are less than four, they cannot make their own claims. In addition, if a seat is to be filled or replaced, the candidate must be unanimously agreed upon by the other five for it to take effect. What do you think? ”

In other words, even if the three Trévilles were to teach each other privately, they would not be able to do their own thing behind their backs, but the reverse would be the same.

"That's fine." Charles nodded.

"Good." The baron laughed with satisfaction, and then he shook the bell on the table and called the servant in.

"Go give me that drink! And also. Call Maurice and Lola to me, I have something important to tell them! ”

The servant immediately took the order and departed.

Seeing that a qiē has already been done. Charlotte was also secretly relieved, but the big banker suddenly shifted his attention to her, although his face was full of spring breeze, but Charlotte felt a little chilled.

"Miss Treville, how is your grandfather doing?" The baron asked, as if he was a little worried, "It seems that he has rarely been seen outside lately?" ”

"Thanks to your care, he's in good health now." Holding back the disgust in her heart, Charlotte replied calmly, "It's just that he's already at this age, and there's no way to stay away from public life, right?" ”

"That's right, I hope the old man is still in good health," the baron nodded, "Speaking of which, time flies really fast...... When I was just starting out, your grandfather had already played an important role in the political arena, and in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed all of a sudden, hehe, I am also old, and the future is the era of you young people after all......"

The baron's sudden exclamation made Charles feel a little uncomfortable - he had the impression that this man had always looked ambitious and energetic, and today he actually sighed about time, which was not unusual.

"A while ago, the Count of Dillion also passed away, what a sudden! I worked with him a few years ago, but I didn't expect it to disappear all of a sudden...... Charles, you have also seen that the older generation of politicians in our country is now withering, and an era is coming to an end......" The baron sighed softly, unable to see joy or anger, "How many mediocre people in the new era can use the art of politics and diplomacy as skillfully to lead this country forward?" ”

"Monsieur Bonaparte may." Charles replied with what little loyalty he had left.

"Oh, it's just some kind of Cheng dù on." Baron de Beauvang shrugged his shoulders rather regretfully, "Monsieur Bonaparte is undoubtedly an outstanding man, but unfortunately he is not the Emperor after all......"

"If he is really the Emperor, wouldn't it be a good thing for us?" Charles asked rhetorically.

"Oh, you're right,......" the baron laughed again at his rhetorical question, "if he is truly amazing, then where shall we be?" But...... Sometimes we really need to take a longer view. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Charles was a little confused.

"Actually, I don't mean anything other than to be a little worried about Monsieur Bonaparte." "Mr. Treville, you are closer than I am, Mr. President, and so long as you do not carry the obstacle of that admirer, you can see that in some respects he does have some limitations, and it is not necessarily in the good of this country that we have done our best to help him take this country into the palm of his hand...... Let's not forget that France is not alone on the mainland, on the contrary, it is surrounded by enemies. ”

What else do you care about whether it is good for the country or not? Charles looked at the baron a little strangely, but did not answer.

"I know it sounds ridiculous to have someone like me be patriotic, but I actually love this country, and I certainly hope that this country will be unstoppable in the future, because this country carries my own interests. Only when this country is strong can I use her financial system to expand my power abroad," as if to see what Charles was thinking, the baron continued with a smile, "If I help the Bonapartes to return to the throne at the cost of falling from their current pre-eminence on the European continent, what good is it for me to do so?" ”

"So what are your plans?" Charles still couldn't figure out what he was thinking, "You're not going to regret it now, are you?" ”

"Oh! Of course not! The baron waved his hand exaggeratedly, "I just want our interests to be more secure, yes, our interests - because it seems to me that, at least for now, our interests are common, right?" ”

"You're right."

"Then tell me plainly, whether Monsieur Bonaparte wants to start a war? To Austria, or to Russia? ”

In fact, he was launched. Charles said in his heart.

"I'm afraid only he knows this, but judging from the current situation in France, it is impossible to start a war immediately."

"But that's just for now......," the smile on the baron's face grew thicker, "Mr. Treville, and even you, actually support a war, right?" For example, the ...... against Russia"

Charles's heart sank.

However, since the other party has the intention to investigate himself, it is normal for him to have heard about his previous remarks.

"I personally support the war against Russia, and the sooner the better, only such a victory can make the people forget that the Bonaparte family is a usurper, and can we stand firm." After thinking about it for a moment, Charles still felt that he should be open and honest with this man for the time being. "And Mr. President, on a certain basis, agreed with me."

Baron Beauwon's face showed a "sure enough" expression, and then shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm glad you told me something like this in secret."

"Don't worry, although the Russians are behemoths, they are nothing more than giants with feet of clay, as long as we find the right way and place, it is not impossible to defeat the Russians." Seeing that the other party's face was a little uncertain, Charles decided to cheer him up, "We won't joke about our net worth and future, for such a war, we are determined to win." ”

"Maybe we can win, but what about next time? What about next time? Monsieur Bonaparte did not have the military talent of his uncle, nor did he have the ability to arrange a war in stride, as we all know. After a moment of silence, the baron spoke again, "If Monsieur Bonaparte were to take this country on endless adventures, can you be sure that he will be able to win every time?" ”

"This ......" Charles was a little speechless, because he really couldn't guarantee that Louis Bonaparte did play himself to death in the end, and in the end he could only prevaricate, "We don't need to worry about the distant future, the current situation is enough to worry us, isn't it?" ”

"Hehe, that's right...... "But I remind you that he can do anything to protect his own interests, but we are not the same, we have more interests, and although we are now in line with the Bonapartes, I do not think it will be the case forever." Young man, since you're smart enough, you must be able to see that, right? ”

"Perhaps...... Indeed it is. (To be continued......)
