When he heard this mention from Baron de Beauwon, Charles looked up at the other party blankly, and did not react for a while.

"Huh?"

It wasn't until a moment later that he reacted. "You mean, you suspect those people did this......

The Baron was suspicious of his rivals, the Jewish bankers. Honestly, it's not a very outrageous speculation.

However, Charles still has some reservations and does not believe this speculation.

Because...... It's so out of style.

If you really plan to do it, what's the point of killing the baron's useless young master?

It can make the baron sad and make him angry, but the baron's power and wealth are not damaged, and he can use these resources to retaliate violently at any time, and the threat to his side has not been lifted at all.

So, if Charles decided to do something against the Beauwang family, it would be to try to cut the grass and root out with a single hit, and he would find a way to kill the baron directly, and then calmly deal with his leaderless remnants - and there was no point in killing his son, it would only provoke the other party to be on guard.

Because of this, Charles felt that bankers who were at odds with the Baron would not make such a senseless move.

"Are you sure?" He couldn't help but ask again.

"No, how can I be sure now? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The baron sneered, his tone arrogant and cold, "But what if you don't know for sure? It doesn't matter anymore! Whether they did it or not, I don't care so much now! I've long hated these Jews, and I still have some scruples about Morris taking over the family business in the future...... Now, what do I have to worry about! I want them all to die, either they die or I die! If it's a big deal, I'll go bankrupt, anyway, the money left to Lola will be enough for her to spend a lifetime! ”

Charles finally understood that he still had reservations about his attitude, not because he admired himself or had any liking for him, but because he felt that he could be used in the future. He doesn't have any scruples now, he just wants to fight to the death against those competitors in the next few years.

Hmph, for his son who wants to leave all his family property, for his daughter, this kind of patriarchal thinking is really unacceptable, no wonder that daughter hates her brother...... He sneered and mocked inwardly.

True, he was not interested in participating in such activities. What good would it do to tie yourself to the warship of the Bowang family, especially at a time when their momentum is declining?

Baron Beauwan promised that if he won, everyone would split the account, which may mean that hundreds of millions of dollars will be credited, but this must be a prize that can only be obtained after victory - if he loses, what is the point of the reward being high? At least he didn't see how many odds the baron had of winning.

"Charles, don't you think these Jews are too rampant?" Seeing that Charles was still hesitating, the baron continued to persuade, "If we ignore them, sooner or later they will monopolize the lifeblood of the entire country, and they will become lawless, and you want to seize power, but they are in your way!" These people are the darlings of Satan, branded as treacherous and vicious from the very beginning, and only by excluding their bad influence on the country can we get a pure France! ”

Although the baron spoke impassionedly, Charles remained calm and unmoved by his agitation.

Even, on the contrary, he felt a little laughing in his heart - I have to say, it was a little ridiculous to let the baron carry out such nationalist agitation. Everyone can say what they want to do for the country, but this big banker who has made countless people bankrupt is not qualified.

Moreover, anti-Semitism is indeed a tradition in Europe, but not everyone wants to kill the Jews as quickly as possible, otherwise the Jews would not be able to amass their wealth. Did even the baron himself really hate the Jews so much? No, he just hated his rival, who was not Jewish, and it just gave him an extra excuse to get rid of him.

Since Europeans themselves don't think so, how can the Shire, as a traverser, have such a boring hatred?

In his previous life, he neither hated nor liked the Jews, and had no feelings at all. In the present, although he had helped the Baron to write some anti-Semitic inciting articles, it was only for the occasion, not a genuine hatred.

"Didn't we say yes before? If you want to continue to cooperate in the future, you have to find a way to make me the president of the Banque de France, then...... I'll give you something in return. "Seeing that Charles was not interested in the second, Baron Beauwan decided to intensify his agitation," ...... I'm going to find a way to put you up to be the Minister of Finance. ”

"Minister of Finance?" Charles was stunned by his words.

The Ministry of Finance is arguably one of the most important departments of the French government, and if he can climb to that position, with the full support of a man as big as Baron de Beauwon, it will be ...... You can do almost anything you want in the financial world.

And in this case, what can you get and what can you do?

This kind of scene is really exciting to think about.

He looked at the other party in amazement, as if to confirm the sincerity of the other party.

However, the baron remained unmoved, and only nodded slightly, indicating that he was indeed serious. At this time, his expression was calm and shrewd, and he no longer had the hoarse and exhausted look he had just now.

This person was so violent just now, I'm afraid he was pretending...... Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he became even more jealous of the baron.

Yes, he must have been sad when his son died, and he was the only one, but he was able to keep it to himself, and calmly think about what he should do next.

A son is a son, business belongs to business, and that kind of banker's temperament is indeed deeply rooted in his bone marrow.

"Charles, do you remember the first time we met?" While Charles was still thinking, the baron's calm voice reached his ears again, "We met at an exhibition of painters in Durrenburg, right?" We didn't talk for long, but I was very impressed. You were the first person I met to understand what I was thinking, and the first to abandon the senseless obsession with the old fiscal and financial system...... I've remembered you since then, and I know that you will definitely have a great future, which is why I value you so much and try to meet your requirements in terms of funds...... We should be like-minded, Charles. ”

In other words, if you don't work with me anymore, then you won't be a like-minded person with me, and you won't want to get my financial backing anymore - Charles heard the subtle subtext.

So, what should be done?

He had too much business dealings with the Bowang family now, and he was already deeply involved, and if he parted ways with them all at once, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble, though not so much that he would not be unable to hold on.

But what if you listen to him? Although he may be able to become Chancellor of the Exchequer with his help, he ...... There are too many opponents in front of you.

The temptation was too great, and the risk was too great, and he couldn't make this decision for a while.

"As you can see, I'm too young to think about it right now." After a while, he gave an ambiguous answer.

After hearing his answer, the baron couldn't help but frown.

However, he really didn't expect Charles to say yes directly.

"Well, since you think so, then I don't want to say anything more, let time tell which of us is more right." He spread his hands gently, obviously not wanting to talk to Chardo anymore. "Okay, I already know what you said, I won't embarrass your friend for the time being, you let him be careful lately."

Charles felt that that this was enough, so he stood up and nodded to the baron in his farewell.

………………

"Mr. Treville?"

Of course, when he walked out of the baron's study, and was about to leave, Lola suddenly stopped him from behind in the hallway.

"Well, what's wrong? Miss? Charles looked at each other with some confusion.

Lola walked over to Charles, a rare apology on her face.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Dad did go too far. But please don't take it personally, sir, for a father who has just lost his son. ”

"Well, I understand, miss." Charles nodded, smiling slightly.

"By the way, what did he just tell you?" Lola asked, seemingly casually.

"Nothing, we just explained the problem." Charles flickered, "His heart is still very sad, please comfort him more in the future." ”

From the conversation he had just had with the Baron, he could tell that the Baron was secretly wary of his daughter, so much so that he pretended to be confused in front of her—of course, he did not intend to break it.

"Yes, I will, but now Dad doesn't listen to anyone now, and then he locks himself in his room and stuffs alone, which is really worrying." Lola shook her head lightly and sighed softly. "When he stopped like this, now our house is really a mess, we can't do any business, and there are complaints everywhere. Now I can only reluctantly come out and do it, otherwise I really don't know what to do...... Please help me in the future. ”

Thinking about taking over so soon? Girl, take it easy, your father is even more powerful than you think, he thought to himself.

But of course he won't say it. R1152
