Chapter Seventy-Eight: Unhappy Breakup
Meyerkar's first speech gave many the impression that he had placed himself in the position of the successor to James, the late successor at the helm. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Nathan looked at Meyercar, who had taken the lead, and then at Alfonso, but did not speak.
"Yes. We will follow His guidance and follow the path He has shown us. Alfonso looked at Meyercar and said, "He doesn't want us to do dangerous business." β
Hearing Alfonso's deliberately accentuated tone when he said "dangerous business", Meyercar's brow furrowed slightly.
Meyerkar was stout, of medium height, with a slightly blackened face, and a Prussian Junker aristocratic mustache, which, at first glance, could be mistaken for a true Germanic man. His nose resembled the short scimitars used by the Germanic people, and his blue eyes were cold. His demeanor has the majesty of a Prussian aristocracy, which is unforgettable at first sight.
Sara stared at Meyercar, who remembered that when he first entered the hall, Alfonso greeted him at the door and led him into the hall; A lot of people are already waiting there. At that time, she had the idea that this was a terrible person with a lot of energy.
Meyer Kar shook hands politely with everyone present. Even after meeting his father, of course, he ignored himself from beginning to end.
If Hong asks me what I am like as a person, if I am a very "axis" person, I will answer "yes" in the affirmative. Sara thought. She had never felt so aggressive on a person, even on a father. Actually, Nathan doesn't look amazing. When he meets and greets people, he always looks amiable, simple and relaxed.
"The business we are doing now is not dangerous." "In fact, our business will be more secure than ever. β
Meyerkar said this time that he was going straight to the point, saying that this time the business was to finance the government of the Kingdom of Prussia, and everything was ready. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the business, the government of the Kingdom of Prussia will give full support, so this time the business is very certain, and it can be said that there is as much certainty as possible. And it's a staggeringly profitable business without any risk.
"There is no such thing as a risk-free business. And I don't understand why the government of the Kingdom of Prussia is in such a hurry to do this business. Alfonso said calmly, "Can you tell us about the specific situation of this business?" β
Meyerkar's face darkened slightly, but he remained calm.
"I will give a detailed explanation of the specific details of the business, but for the sake of secrecy, it is better not to say it now." Meyer Carr said.
"Then it's a secret deal." Nathan said quietly, "What can we get out of this business?" β
"Profits, ridiculously large profits." "And there is also the strong protection of a united Germany." β
When he uttered the phrase "Germany after reunification", many people's faces changed.
"I want everyone to understand what a reunited Germany means to our family." Meyer Carr looked a little excited, "This will be a new era!" β
"What do you need us to do?" Nathan smiled and asked.
"I need a lot of cash," Meyer Carr said in a tone of great sincerity, "and just as important, I need the support of my family, all of you." β
Nathan didn't seem to particularly appreciate this sincerity on his part. Alfonso, on the other hand, frowned, seeing that the heads of the British and French families did not take a stand, and the representatives of the families from Italy and Austria remained silent.
"And what about the percentage of our dividends?" Nathan asked again.
Hearing that Nathan seemed to be tempted, Mayer Carr's eyes sparkled.
He knew that as long as Nathan agreed to join in, it would be 80 percent successful.
"Forty percent." He paused for a moment, then continued, his tone almost like a romance, "If you feel less, you can discuss it again." β
Nathan smiled and asked, "If the other families participate, what about the percentage of dividends?" β
Meyer Carr seemed a little uncomfortable.
"The other families will take my share. Because as I said earlier, I need more help in the process of running a business. β
"So," asked Nathan, "we can get forty percent just for cash support." We don't need to bother with the specific operation, do we? β
Meyer Kar nodded.
"If you agree to participate, Lionel, then I congratulate you." Meyer Carr said.
Nathan said calmly, "Meyerkar, I was willing to listen to you out of respect for Uncle Armslow and the Frankfurt family, and because I had heard that you were a respectable person. But now I have to say 'no' to you, but at the same time I have to make it clear: the business you're going to do is very profitable, but the risks are just as great. If I take part in the business you are engaged in, it may destroy all the profits of my business in other areas. Yes, our family has many, many friends in the political circles of various countries, but if our business had been used to finance wars, I don't think they would have been so friendly to us. We are businessmen, not working for the government of the Kingdom of Prussia, and I think you have to figure this out. β
Listening to her father's words, Sara couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
"Yes." Alfonso said categorically, "I agree with Lionel, I will never pay a penny to the warmakers, never!" β
After listening to Nathan and Alfonso's answers, Meyercar's face finally changed.
Meyer Carr was about to say something, but was interrupted by Nathan: "You don't have to say anything, what I'm going to tell you now is: this kind of business you do is too risky." All the members of our family have lived well for the past ten years, with no danger and no disaster. I can't bear to do harm to them or their lives out of the love of money. β
There was a look of disappointment on Meyercar's face, but he only turned his eyes sharply, searching the hall for something, as if he were counting on the representatives of the Austrian or Italian families to speak for him. But they clearly tried to stay out of it.
"I'm wondering now, are you worried that your investment is not secure?" Meyer Carr still didn't give up, and asked again.
Nathan smiled and shrugged.
"It's not." He said.
Meyerkar also wanted to try a little harder: "What if other Prussian families were willing to guarantee your investment?" β
Speaking of this, Sara finally couldn't help but interject, "Other families guarantee the safe recovery of our family's investment?" Which family has such an ability? β
Meyer was annoyed by the sudden interjection. Sara saw him glaring at her with cold, fierce eyes, and Helen beside her was a little frightened.
Sara met Meyerkar's gaze fearlessly.
Meyerkar's eyes flickered again. The anger in his eyes did not dissipate. He's spinning his head fast. Sarah's words touched a sore spot on him.
Yes, what family can vouch for the Rothschild family?
Nathan spoke again, his tone trying to resolve the impasse.
"Say no more, my daughter," he said, looking at Sarah, who did not mean to blame her, as he turned to Meyer Carr and said, "Young people are not polite these days. When the elders are talking, they just interject casually. They are nosy. And I'm usually too good with my children, they are a bit pampered; I've spoiled them. You can see that, too. β
He paused, then continued, "However, the 'no' I said just now cannot be changed. Here's what I want to say: I personally wish you all the best in your business. But you can't tie the whole family to the Prussian chariot. I'm sorry I had to disappoint you. β
"You too, huh? Alfonso? Meyercar's gaze turned to Alfonso.
"Yes." Alfonso nodded and replied in a firm tone.
"Well, I respect your opinions."
Meyercar's face calmed down, and instead of saying anything, he bowed, shook hands with Nathan and Alfonso, and then turned away. When he said "goodbye" to Nathan and Alfonso, there was no expression on his face.
As the family members from Frankfurt followed Meyerkar away, some of them kept looking at Sarah, and some of them were whispering, and there was even contempt in their eyes. Sara knew what they were talking about, and sneered inwardly.
"Well said, my daughter." Nathan came to her side, smiled and patted her on the shoulder, whispering.
"Thank you, Sarah." Alfonso also walked over and said to Sara with a smile.
"I don't think they're going to give up." Sara looked at the backs of Meyer Car's group and said to the two elders.
"From now on, we have to keep a close eye on their movements." "We have to stop them, and I am not personally against the unification of Germany, but the unity of Germany cannot be based on war and plunder," Alfonso said. β
"My daughter violated the rules of her ancestors and left them with a confession." Nathan also noticed the strange gazes of the men when they looked at his daughter, and said something self-deprecatingly. Of course, he knew, that the real reason was not this.
"Didn't the great king Solomon have Gentile women in his palace?" Alfonso smiled, "Why can't a Chinese be a Rothchild?" β
"Thank you for the gift you gave to my child, Uncle Alfonso." Hearing his words, Sara stepped forward and hugged Alfonso, and at this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude, "That is the most precious gift my child has ever received. β
