"What my in-laws said is deeply in my heart," Nathan's words obviously touched Chen Tingxuan a lot, he nodded and sighed, "I also hope that my children and grandchildren can do the same." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe so-called "it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business", and it is necessary to prosper for a long time. ”

Chen Tingxuan turned his head to look at Chen Hong and Sarah, his eyes were full of expectation: "Outsiders say that we Chinese businessmen are 'not rich for three generations', and I want them to see how many generations we can be rich." ”

"I've heard this saying myself, in fact, 'no more than three generations of wealth' is an empirical statement, not only Chinese businessmen, but also between countries, there are families that have declined in less than three generations." Nathan smiled and said. "Many inheritors have not experienced the setbacks and hardships of entrepreneurship, and directly inherit the family industry and enjoy the results, so there will be some people who do not learn and have no skills, and they will defeat the foundation that their ancestors worked hard to create."

"For many families, most of the first-generation entrepreneurs have experienced hardships, but they do not rationally realize that the difficult experience of the past is a valuable asset for them, and it is precisely because of the hard training that they have played a positive role in supporting their difficult entrepreneurship. On the contrary, they do not want their children to suffer hardships, and they are pampered and responsive to their needs, thinking that if they give their children more money, they will enjoy themselves. But things often go the other way, the children of wealthy families who don't know the difficulty of starting a business often use money without knowing moderation, and even squander and waste, and eventually become mentally decadent, leading to family failure. ”

"Yes! We Chinese always like to give our children the best learning and living conditions, but many people do not pay attention to the cultivation of children's actual ability. Many Chinese businessmen have a weak sense of educating the next generation, resulting in a lack of ability to manage wealth among the inheritors of wealth. Their next generation only knows how to spend a lot of money, drink wine in big bowls, wear splendid mink fur, and eat delicious food from the mountains and seas, but they lack entrepreneurial fighting spirit, have no fighting spirit, and are lonely and self-appreciative, pretentious, thinking that they are the first in the world. In fact, his ability is mediocre, and once he takes charge of the family business, he will soon lose his ancestral business. Chen Tingxuan remembered that many merchants in the Thirteen Lines had fallen into such a strange circle, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In fact, many wealth creators lack long-term awareness and fail to make reasonable arrangements for wealth inheritance in advance, resulting in frequent disputes in the inheritance of the next generation, which ultimately leads to wealth being wiped out in the family internal friction, which is also an important reason." After translating this passage for Chen Tingxuan, Sara expressed her opinion, "So, you can't blame us young people entirely, right? The external environment is also very important. Isn't it? Hong? She turned her head to look at Chen Hong and said with a smile.

"That's right." Chen Hong looked at Sara with a smile, he didn't say anything more, because Sara had already said what he wanted to say.

"Hehe, of course it is." Chen Tingxuan knew that his daughter-in-law was adjusting the atmosphere, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course, external factors are also very important, the result of the business war is the survival of the fittest, and those who cannot control the wind and waves in the business sea will shrink or turn their wealth into nothing." Then there's the environmental impact. If wars and turmoil are frequent, wealth cannot be accumulated; In addition, serious or long-term natural disasters will inevitably cause a huge loss of wealth. ”

Chen Tingxuan recalled the Taiping Rebellion that swept through the southeastern half of China, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"What you just said, my esteemed in-laws, said an important fact. On the one hand, for people who are far from the center of war, war will bring many opportunities to increase wealth, but if it is for those who are in it, war will not only mean the loss of wealth, but may even endanger their lives. Nathan was very happy to find that he and the old Chinese businessman in front of him could agree on many aspects, but when he remembered the unpleasant family meeting in Frankfurt, he couldn't help but look a little depressed, "It's a pity that many people don't realize such an obvious truth." ”

Sara was keenly aware of the subtle change in her father's expression, and after a moment's thought, she decisively decided to bring the conversation to the family meeting in Frankfurt, which she wanted to know so much.

"Did you meet Uncle Mayer Karl in Frankfurt? How is he in health? Are you okay now? Sara asked.

"He's fine now, but he's a little unclear now." Nathan smiled and said, "He's deviated from his family's stance of 'not giving money to those who start wars.'" ”

Hearing Nathan's words, Chen Tingxuan, Chen Hong, and Sara's faces all changed unconsciously.

"Prussian ambitions can never be satisfied. They can't wait to destroy all the other small and weak countries, and as long as their annexation policy does not stop, there is no hope of financial market stabilization. "But your Uncle Meyer Karl doesn't see that, or rather, he doesn't want to face it." ”

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Sara knew that it was inconvenient for Chen Tingxuan and Chen Hong to inquire at this time, because after all, this involved secrets within the Luo family, but she knew that her father chose to say such a thing at this time, it should be because he intended to reveal the news to the Chen family's father and son, so she asked directly.

"His Excellency the Chancellor of Prussia needs a large sum of money to wage a war and complete the unification of Germany." "Meyerkar is now on the side of the Prussian Prime Minister," replied Nathan, "and he wants to seek more help from within the family to accomplish this grand plan." ”

"Once the war starts, it will not end abruptly. And there are too many variables to control. Chen Tingxuan shook his head and said, "This is a gamble, not an idea." ”

"You're right." Nathan's voice revealed a hint of anxiety that could not be concealed, "This is risking the fate of the entire family. At this meeting, I have already made my position against it. But he didn't follow my advice. ”

Nathan did not tell Chen Tingxuan and his daughter and son-in-law that he actually had a big quarrel with Meyer Carr at the Frankfurt meeting.

"I would like to know, respected in-laws, your family, if such a thing happens, how will you deal with it?" Nathan asked.

Chen Tingxuan pondered for a while, then looked up and said to Nathan: "It's a big matter, you have to sit down and discuss it together, how can you just have the final say?" For example, when we set up the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, I am the president, and I don't have the final say on everything, I have to discuss it with everyone, if everyone is against it, I can't be the master myself. ”

Listening to Chen Tingxuan's answer, Nathan looked approving.

"I heard that your Rothschild clan is a big family, and it is distributed in all European countries, and there are still living elders today, so you shouldn't allow them to come, right?" Chen Tingxuan said.

"What you say is that if my father were alive, he would never allow such a thing to happen." Nathan sighed.

"If Grandpa Amslow were alive, Uncle Meyer would not have been allowed to do that." Sara said.

"In this way, is there no one in your family or among the elders who can stop him?" Chen Tingxuan asked.

"Grandpa James should be able to." Sara looked at her father and said.

The "Grandpa James" that Sara said is the patriarch of the French Rothhild family, and the only one left in the second generation of Roche.

Nathan nodded, then shook his head as if remembering something.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of thunder outside the window, and Sara turned her head to see that the starry night sky was gone, and in its place was a thick cloud that rolled and tumbled.

A flash of lightning flashed like a sharp sword splitting through the clouds, and disappeared in an instant, followed by a low thunderclap that heralded a terrible storm that was coming.

"Look at this cloud head is so heavy, I'm afraid there will be a storm for a while, and the effort won't stop for a few days, if the in-laws don't dislike it, how about staying in the house for a few days?" Chen Tingxuan sent an invitation to Nathan, "The confusion in my chest is just to ask for advice nearby." ”

After Sara translated her father-in-law's words to her father, Nathan smiled and nodded briskly.

"Then bother." He looked up at the window, and said to himself, "We're all in the crater now. ”

As Nathan said, the Rothchild family at this time was indeed pushed to the crater.

At this moment, the most critical task for the Rothchild family is to maintain peace and stability. Because the British, Austrian, and French governments all have huge loans from the Rothschild family, and if the situation is unstable, those loans may go down the drain, so despite the turmoil in Europe, the Rothchild family in Britain still has to do whatever it takes to maintain peace to ensure that the huge loans in their hands prove to be safe and effective, and continue to appreciate and circulate.

In such a political environment, the market can be said to be cloudy, and in order to reduce the pressure on themselves, the Rottchild brothers spared no effort to mediate everywhere. The Rothchild family in Britain tried to be foolproof, step by step, but if they wanted to reverse the Frankfurt deal, they had to have the support of family members from other countries, but it is clear that in the current situation in Europe, this is almost impossible to achieve, so it seems that the Rothchild family will not be able to escape this fate.

Nathan Jr. decided that he was in charge of the situation. After careful consideration, he made a good impression on the British government on an important matter, and showed his self-confidence, but London did not know what medicine he was selling in his gourd. The British government deposited a large amount of negotiable bonds with Nathan's Bank of London as collateral, taking into account the loan agreed with the Rothschild family in the early years, and now they are demanding their return from Nathan.
