"Miss de Beauwon, isn't your brother here yet?" Charlotte looked at the girl in front of her with some displeasure, "It seems that we have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Wait," replied Miss Lola de Beauwon, the only daughter of the great banker Baron de Beauwon, leisurely, as if not in the least taken the displeasure of the Duchess in front of her. "My brother's horse is going to race today, so he's going to take care of his horse first......"

After hearing Lola's answer, Charlotte felt a little annoyed in her heart - in the eyes of Charlotte, who pretends to be a nobleman, there are probably only a few thousand people in the whole world who deserve her equal treatment, and now, she has to wait for someone to take care of those damn horses first!

"Charlotte, he just didn't know that you were here too." Although Charlotte's face was very calm, Charles, who had grown up together since childhood, of course knew her mood at the moment, and hurriedly comforted her, "If you know it, I'm afraid I'll hurry over." ”

"Anyway, it's a bit out of tune to come to Nagano to talk about such a serious matter, isn't it?"

After hearing Charles's comfort, Charlotte said no more, but complained in a whisper. She knew that Charles now owed De Beauwon's family a lot of money, so she could only continue to deal with the family.

Nagano was originally a famous monastery on the outskirts of Paris. By this time, the monastery had already been abandoned, and the original site was later converted into a racecourse. In the 19th century, horse betting and social gatherings were often held here. 】

"It's my brother's usual style."

Maybe it is, Lola sneered inwardly. At the same time, he secretly looked forward to the expression of his brother when he saw these two people who were so close.

In one of the biggest owner's compartments in the racecourse, the de Treville and de Beauvin siblings got together today, and they certainly weren't just that. Rather, there must be business issues to talk about - naturally it is the plan of the steel mill in Shire.

Charlotte was wearing a gray dress today, a bowler hat on her head, and her blonde hair was also coiled inside, which looked much simpler and more formal; The banker lady opposite her was dressed in a white silk skirt and wore a brooch decorated with diamond flowers, as luxurious as ever.

Didn't make Lola wait long. Soon the door opened, and Maurice de Beauvang walked in briskly.

"Lola, are those materials ready to be ready...... Show me right away......" he just said this. He suddenly stopped talking.

For he saw Charlotte, and Charles, who was sitting next to her and very close to her.

"Virtue ...... Mademoiselle de Treville? The smile on his face stiffened, "You...... You're here ...... too? ”

"Hmm. Today's events also have something to do with me. "With a perfect smile. Charlotte replied in a low voice, her eyes half-narrowed, "So I'll come and have a look." ”

Then, she turned to look at Charles next to her, "I remember you two met, right?" This is my cousin, Charles, who is the grandson of the Marquis of Treville. ”

"Oh......" After hearing her words, Morris turned his gaze to Charles. His gaze seemed a little complicated, "Mr. Treville." Nice to meet you. ”

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. de Beauwon." Charles nodded amicably at the other.

"Miss Treville, I didn't expect you to come too!" After they saluted, Morris was still a little embarrassed, "Otherwise, I would have come first!" I really didn't expect it...... I'm sorry, ah, I'm sorry......"

"It's nothing, it's normal for you to not know beforehand. Although the person in charge of this matter is Charles, the land is actually ours, and my family has promised me as a dowry, so the right to use that land is now in my hands......" Charlotte still looked at Morris with a smile, and explained softly, and no one could tell her true feelings for the family, "So...... I'm going to have to come and see it today, lest you all take it and use it, and I don't know what to do. ”

"Dowry?" After hearing the word, Morris was stunned again, barely hearing what she was saying.

"Well, yes." With a sense of happiness, and a sense of pleasure in stabbing the young man in front of her, Charlotte gently took Charles' hand. Double joy, mixed with shyness, made her face smeared with a layer of red, "We will be married in a while, and this investment was also borrowed from your father by Charles in order to make our lives happier in the future." So, Maurice, now we need your help......"

"Yes, that land is our future property, and we intend to use it in a more efficient way. And that's where your father's loan comes in. Charles immediately added, for fear that the other party would be so upset that he hadn't remembered the business he was going to talk about today.

In fact, he doesn't particularly like to talk about personal matters in this kind of business negotiation, but since Charlotte said it, he has no choice but to accompany him.

Morris still doesn't seem to have recovered from this new news, and is still a little sluggish.

"Anyway, I'm working with that young man now, and he's going to have a great future in the future, so don't pester that young lady anymore." "A young man who is much stronger than you......" Suddenly, he remembered his father's admonition to him.

He couldn't help but glance at Charles again, and saw that the young man was smiling at him.

"Lola, bring me the information! I want to see! He subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze, and then blurted out.

Lola's brow furrowed slightly when she heard his words, but it quickly disappeared. She handed him the pages she was holding. The paper was densely covered with data and handwriting, apparently from her own and her subordinates' previous investigations of the project.

Morris took the materials and flipped through them at random, he didn't really look at them with his heart, he was just trying to calm his mood. Miss Trevel reappears in front of him, but with her fiancé! The ups and downs of the plot made it difficult for him to settle down.

"It's a good deal. Mr. Tréville's plan is very detailed, and we have read it beforehand. It seemed that she could see that her brother was not paying attention to it at all, and Lola explained coldly beside her. I worked it out with your secretary. Its profitability in the future should not be bad. The total amount of investment required is behind the most. ”

Maurice flipped to the last page, then glanced at it. He didn't care much about the number on it, it was just a number to him anyway.

After a long while, he finally regained his composure.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't think of any good reason, and his father's admonition seemed to keep echoing in his ears. If he really rejected this plan, how should he explain it to his father? This is a business plan that my father personally asked to ask about. Moreover. Wouldn't it be worse if Miss Trevier was?

After thinking about it for a moment, the fear of his father's anger finally prevailed over the jealousy of the young man in front of him for a while. "Okay. Well, since you've all studied the project in such detail, then I don't have any opinion......" With an inexplicable bitterness, he nodded slightly. Then look at Charlotte. "Miss Treville, you see, our family is always at your service......"

He would never have imagined that after hearing this, Charlotte, who was touched to remember the past, felt a heavy anger rise in her heart. In order to hide this anger, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to thank the other party.

"Thank you, Morris. And your father has always been a great help to me. She gripped Charles' hand tightly.

"So, let's sign it first. Then let's celebrate......" Seeing this, Morris sighed slightly in pain, "Lola, bring the agreement!" ”

Lola took out a few more agreements from the side and handed them to the two Charles siblings. Then, after casually skimming through the entire agreement, and seeing that there were no particularly unruly clauses in it, Charles easily signed it. Morris then took the documents and signed them as well.

Out of commercial prudence, these investment and loan agreements are also sent to a notary public for notarization after they have been signed. A new loan from Charles to Baron de Beauvang was then completed, and the Baron's heir completed his first business dealings, although he spent most of his time at the racetrack.

Then, to celebrate the happy completion of the collaboration, they poured a few glasses of red wine. At the same time, with the sound of the starting gun, a new round of Marseille on the opposite side of the box also began.

After drinking some wine, Maurice looked at Marseille outside rather intently, and finally forgot about the loss for a while.

"When will the money be in place? I wish it had been better to be faster. Charles had no interest in Marseille, and asked directly about Lola next to him, and he could already see who was the specific person in charge, and who was only responsible for the last signature.

"The fastest will be in about two days. Don't worry, my father is very concerned about this investment for you, so he has always taken care of us and asked us to do as much as possible to deal with it so as not to delay your plan. Lola explained slowly, "So, if everything goes well, the money will be in place soon." ”

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Baron." Charles replied with a smile, "I'm so impressed. ”

"If you're really moved, don't use boring language, but talk about profit." Lola didn't look impressed in the slightest, "That kind of thing is more real." ”

"Oh, of course, don't worry. I am sure that in a while there will be a construction frenzy all over France. Charles nodded, "After all, isn't it because your father agrees with me that he is so zealous?" ”

"Mr. Treville, are you interested in taking a gamble?" While Charles was talking to Lola, Morris suddenly spoke, looking at Charles with interest, but without any intimidation, as if this was his home. "Today's battle should be very intense, and the next round is about to begin."

Although theoretically he is only the son of a low-ranking baron, and the person opposite is the heir of the famous family and the marquis, in this day and age, who is more noble, money can give the right answer.

Charles shrugged his shoulders as he watched, and though he wasn't very interested in this kind of go-to-dog activity, he decided to just play with it.

"Did your horse race too?"

"Oh. Yes. Morris smiled and nodded, then pointed to the horses and knights in the arena, "It's number five." Do you see that chestnut horse? This little beauty is a racehorse I bought from England......" Speaking of this, he seemed to come to the spirit, and gushed out, "British thoroughbreds, you must know the way, right?" These British, who rarely laugh a few times in their lives, have finally contributed a little bit to the world. The horses they bred are fast and explosive, which is great for this type of sprint race...... You see......"

Lola frowned. He looked impatient, and then shrugged his shoulders at the two Trevirs, indicating that he was helpless. Charlotte glanced at Charles secretly. Tell him to hurry up and end the matter, she doesn't want to spend any more time with the De-Beauwang family.

"Then I'll bet on your horse, it must be the fastest, because it is well cared for by an enthusiastic owner like you." Charles replied with a smile. "Since the De-Beauwang family can be invincible in the financial world. Of course, you can also do whatever you want at the racecourse. I'm going to throw two thousand francs for it, and I'm sure I'll win." ”

"You're saying it so well! I hope that's what you say. Although there was still some sour jealousy of Charles, Morris was still very much used by his compliment, and he beckoned to the servant, "Go and do as Mr. Tréville says." ”

After the servant had received the order to go out of the city, he beckoned Charles to come to him, and then pointed to his horse, "Look. My Marco has spirits! It's hard to find the same good one in the whole of France, and you can't afford to lose money if you buy it! But...... Because too many people are optimistic about its relationship. Maybe the odds won't be too high, hahaha......ha

While he was talking, because neither of them was interested in Marseille, the two young ladies stayed in the corner. Charlotte was slowly looking at the previous agreement, while Lola was slowly drinking, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. Only Charles, for the sake of etiquette, could only continue to perfunctory the young and golden Monsieur de Beuvan.

"It doesn't matter if the odds aren't high, as long as I can win, I'm happy."

"Yes, it's better to win than nothing!" Morris nodded, "Mr. Treville, I'll just say, as we young people, how can we not like horse racing?" My sister was so boring that no one talked to me about it for a long time......"

Then, he suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was sighing something, "Hey, sometimes I really don't understand, as my sister, she is not interested in the entertainment of high society at all, which makes me worry about her happiness in the future...... How will she get along with others then? ”

He told me what was this for? Charles was a little surprised, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

"It's impossible for a girl from the De-Beauwang family not to find happiness, unless happiness really can't be bought by money." He quipped. "However, in my personal experience, I haven't found anything that money can't buy......"

"Heha, you're right." Morris suddenly turned his head to look at Charles, his eyes flickering a little, "You also know that because of the gift during her lifetime, Lola is destined not to get much inheritance. However, she is also a member of the De-Beauwang family, no matter how she says it, isn't she? My father will never treat her badly, she can at least bring others an annual income of 500,000 yuan, I think this money is enough to buy many people's happiness......"

[In order to circumvent the provisions of the Civil Code that daughters have equal inheritance rights and retain family property, many aristocratic and capitalist families in France at that time would let their sons receive a gift from their parents when they reached adulthood, so as to dilute the total amount of future inheritance.

Another method is to intermarry within the family, so that the property is always circulating within the family. The Rothschild family, the Dupont family, and so on, had been practicing this method since the early days, encouraging cousins to marry each other in order to accumulate capital.

At that time, the fixed income of capital in France was about 5%, and Maurice's phrase "500,000 yuan a year" implied that the de Beauvang family would prepare a dowry of about 10 million francs for Lola to compensate for her disguised inheritance. 】

After hearing this, Charles finally understood the other party's hint.

He wanted to hint that he was going after Miss de Beauwang, who could marry ten million, and he could help.

As for what? The answer is obvious......

Looks like this guy is a lot smarter than he thought. Charles's heart sank.

However, of course, he had only one answer to this.

"Oh, I think you're right." He nodded, "It's a pity that I already have Charlotte, otherwise I'd be really eager to try." Now, I'm afraid I can only bless some other happy young man. ”

After hearing Charles's answer to his hint, Maurice's heart sank again.

Before he could say anything more, Charles took his leave.

"I'm sorry, I think I've got to go back, there's a lot more to ......" he smiled apologetically, "you don't mind, do you?" ”

"Oh, of course......"

Charles turned around directly, then walked over to Charlotte's side and held out his hand.

"Let's go back."

"Well, let's go back......" Charlotte also held out her hand, and the two of them walked away hand in hand.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Maurice de Beauwin was slightly stunned, but helpless.

"Alas......" After the worst, he could only shake his head, sigh, and put his eyes back on the arena.

Marseille, he won. (To be continued......)
