[Go out to do something, it's late to update today, sorry]

On August 8, 1896, Pitt formally negotiated with Carnegie over the transfer of shares.

Although Pitt was backed by funding from First Citigroup, Cleveland and Wang Chenhao's American Consortium, the four companies raised only $600 million each with $150 million. There is still a funding gap of $200 million, which requires Pete and Carnegie to constantly grind their teeth and bargain.

On Wall Street, in the luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of the Bank of America Building, Wang Chenhao was eating a meal with Rothschild.

Since the engagement reception, Rothschild has become a regular here, and even stayed there. And she consciously plays the role of her fiancée, directing the two girls to be busy every day, the secretary and the chess, who are busy up and down, but they are very responsible. No, under the guidance of the chefs in the kitchen, she personally cooked for Wang Chenhao.

"How's it taste?"

Rothier looked at Wang Chenhao a little nervously, cooking for the first time, and didn't know if the meal she made was to his taste.

"It tastes good, thank you for your hard work, just leave these things to the servants to do in the future."

Wang Chenhao had already learned from the waiter that this was Rothiel's first time cooking, so no matter whether the meal was delicious or not, he would accommodate her. But luckily, Rothschild doesn't make the kind of low-level mistake he made on TV, and put salt as sugar. Although the taste is not as delicious as the chef's cooking, it is no problem to eat it.

Luo Shier smiled sweetly, poured another glass of milk for Wang Chenhao, then supported his chin with both hands, his fingers freely tapped his snow-white face, and happily watched Wang Chenhao eat his meal.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Wang Chenhao suddenly found that he was eating by himself for a long time, but he didn't see Rothel eating.

"I've already eaten it!" Roshiel laughed suddenly, "The first meal didn't taste very good, but I had already eaten it myself!" Yours is the second one I made, and it tastes so much better than the first! ”

Wang Chenhao joked to her: "Why don't you eat it together?" I really want to see how you eat it with a frown? ”

Rothschild replied, "Can I eat with you?" I have heard that it is a custom in your country that men are not allowed to eat at the table, and wives and daughters have to wait for their husbands and sons to eat their leftovers! ”

"You know all this?"

Wang Chenhao paused for a moment, and then smiled: "This is indeed our custom, but I don't like that, you don't have to abide by it, we are equal!" ”

Lo Hil was overjoyed and clapped his hands.

"Great! I knew you were special! As a reward for your respect for women, I will be a good wife and cook you food every day! ”

Wang Chenhao smiled bitterly, secretly criticizing this Rothier for being very adaptable, learning to be a Chinese wife so quickly. It's just that Wang Chenhao was a little puzzled in his heart.

"Miss Rothschild, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know how to say it!"

"I'm your fiancée, just call me Rothiel. If you have anything to ask, just say hello, I will tell you what I know! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "I just want to ask you, it is a political marriage between us, and the two parties are linked for monetary interests, so there is no happy love, not to mention that I already have a wife, so you don't have any ideas?" ”

Wang Chenhao's words surprised Rothiel a little.

"I don't know what you mean! I know that there is a political marriage, a union of interests between us, and I also know that you already have a beautiful wife, but it is not your fault, your country allows polygamy. If I had to say one thought, it would be to tell you, as a woman, I will do everything I can to be your favorite wife, and I will do everything I can to prevent you from marrying another woman! ”

Listening to Luo Xier bluntly say what she thought in her heart, Wang Chenhao smiled a little bitterly, he knew that Luo Xier was saying what was in his heart, but she didn't seem to understand what Wang Chenhao really meant.

"I mean, you see that I now have both power and wealth, and I want any beautiful woman to submit to me without much effort. But I won't do that, my woman must have an emotional foundation, and I don't want to have different dreams in the same bed. In other words, if you already have the Prince Charming in mind outside, then I will take the initiative to break the marriage contract and fulfill you. You saved my life, and we're still good friends! ”

Lockhil suddenly tensed up and asked, "You-you're going to break our engagement?" Aren't you going to work with our family? ”

Wang Chenhao probably thought that his English could not express his meaning, and quickly explained: "You misunderstood! I didn't say I was going to break off your engagement, whether we have a marriage contract or not, I'll give your family a partnership. You can rest assured about this. All I mean is that if you have someone you like, or you don't love me at all, I will take the initiative to break the marriage and will not bind you. I just say if, if, if! ”

When Wang Chenhao was nervous, his English was really unsatisfactory, so he had to continuously emphasize that it was 'if', and Rothschild understood it.

I saw her pat her chest, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, no longer so nervous, and smiled: "So you are worried that there are other men outside me, right?" I know you Chinese men are stingy, don't worry, I don't have any other boyfriends besides you. ”

Then, Rothier seemed to think of something again, and suddenly looked at Wang Chenhao with a crimson face, and said weakly with a slight bow: "I am still a virgin, and I will strictly abide by women's morals according to the customs of your country!" ”

Ahem!

Wang Chenhao coughed violently, but he didn't expect Rothier to be able to say this. Wang Chenhao looked at the two pretty maidservants and Si Qi standing next to him, and the two daughters also snickered, seeing Wang Chenhao looking at them, the two hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Wang Chenhao's eyes.

Obviously, in order to be a good wife in front of Wang Chenhao, Luo Xier must get information from Wang Chenhao's personal maid. And these two girls are Li Youyi's maids, and they didn't like Rothel very much from the beginning, and it seems that they have instilled a lot of things in Rothiel.

"Am I wrong?"

"No, no, no! You're right! You're doing a great job! ”

Luo Hil suddenly blushed again, Wang Chenhao didn't know how to say it, and it was inconvenient to ask, but he just glared at the two pretty maids angrily.

"I don't really mean anything else, I just give you the freedom of choice you deserve, and you don't have to worry about our marriage affecting my cooperation with your family. I just want to tell you that there is a period of three months to a year between when we get engaged and when we get married, and you can think about it. ”

Rothiel suddenly showed a surprised gaze, and the man in front of him was full of strangeness. In an era when most women only trade goods, Wang Chenhao is grateful for this.

"Then we can get married right away! Because you're the only man I've ever seen who feels good, a good man who can take care of me, I'm already in love with you. ”

Luo Hill's blunt words made Wang Chenhao's brain crash again, and the two maidens and Si Qi who were standing next to him suddenly pouted and showed disdain. In the feudal conservative thinking of the second daughter, the woman who says such things must be a slut.

"Shameless!"

The two women's lips moved slightly, but they didn't make any sound, but it was certain that they were extremely unhappy that Rothel had said such a shameful remark.

Wang Chenhao's brain was stunned for a while, and then he smiled bitterly: "I look so ordinary, and I am a married man, with your conditions Rothiel, I am afraid it will be difficult for people to believe that they fall in love with me!" ”

Rothchild laughed, "Believe it or not! When my father told me about this, I disagreed. But at the instigation of my stepmother, my father didn't give me a choice. Whether I agree or not, I have to marry you as a concubine. So I took the opportunity of going to St. Petersburg to attend the Tsar's coronation to secretly investigate you. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly realized that he also wanted to hear what kind of person he was in the eyes of Rothsier.

"Can you tell me?"

Luo Xier smiled at Wang Chenhao, which made Wang Chenhao feel a little upset in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of image it would be.

"Absolutely!" Rothschild had a slight cunning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You are not handsome in appearance, and you are also a yellow Chinese discriminated against by Americans, to be honest, in terms of your personal conditions, in my heart is a fork!" ”

Wang Chenhao smiled with some disappointment: "No way, it's not my fault!" I knew I would say hello to my parents before I was born! ”

Luo Xier couldn't help but be amused by Wang Chenhao, laughed, and continued: "However, you are about the same age as me, and you are better than the thirty or forty-year-old chaebol sons arranged for me by my stepmother. This woman has always looked at me unpleasantly, and she wants to harm me. ”

Rothier's face was bad when he thought of her stepmother, and Wang Chenhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and asked, "It seems that this is my only advantage!" ”

Rothchild quickly regained his smile and said, "That's not the only advantage! There are so many peculiarities about you that I can't help but be curious about you. You have outstanding military talents, which influenced the outcome of the First Sino-Japanese War of the Qing Dynasty, and you are the national hero of your country. Your political foresight has made you the first name mentioned in Europe and the United States when China is mentioned. They don't even know who the emperor of China is, but they know your name and can say that you are synonymous with China. Your background is so mysterious, I went to Europe, and members of the European royal family and dignitaries who were related to our family asked about you, but the result was either your own life experience, or four words. ”

"What four words?"

Wang Chenhao couldn't help but ask with concern.

"There is no such person!"

Rothier stared into Wang Chenhao's eyes as he spoke, but found that Wang Chenhao had calmed down instead.

"What else?"

Wang Chenhao smiled calmly.

Rothschild continued: "Then there's the fact that you came back to China penniless, but soon you started from scratch and became the richest man in China in a short period of time. In the midst of the U.S. gold run crisis, your Bank of America made nearly 100 million dollars in windfall profits without showing any problems, how do you judge from thousands of miles away? On this trip, you'll find countless treasures from the bottom of the ocean along the way, making you one of the richest people in the world overnight. And how do you know where the shipwreck is and the treasure on it? You use this money to buy some small companies in Europe and the United States, and on the surface they don't seem to be much, but these companies are new industries with huge potential for the future. Do you know? From the day I noticed you, you gave me the feeling that you were a prophet. ”

Wang Chenhao was still smiling calmly, but there were waves in his heart. If a Rothschild can make such a judgment on himself, then those old and cunning politicians in Europe and the United States must be secretly investigating, and their assessment of themselves must be more comprehensive and detailed than Rothschild.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Wang Chenhao suddenly found in his heart that many things were not under his control. And as his butterfly wings continue to fanflap, more and more unforeseen things will happen in the world of this time and space.

Wang Chenhao smiled faintly and said, "If I were a prophet, then I would know what you were thinking, and I wouldn't need to ask you." ”

Wang Chenhao's plausible answer cleverly responded to Rothiel's guess.

Rothel smiled slightly and said, "So your mysterious background and your miraculous deeds have deeply attracted me. ”

Wang Chenhao smiled: "This is not good! Know that curiosity kills cats! ”

Rothier sneered, "If only I had stopped being curious about you sooner!" But now I can't extricate myself, and when I know that someone is going to play tricks on you in the summer palace garden, I can't help but pick up an umbrella and take the initiative to help you. When the crowd is chaotic, I can't help but hug you. When you use your body to protect me from bumps, I fall incorrigibly in love with you! ”

Wang Chenhao's eyes were wide and his mouth was wide open, he really couldn't believe that he still had such charm.

"I still have this kind of charm, I don't even know it?"

Rothchild smiled and asked rhetorically, "Then do you love me?" ”

Wang Chenhao was somewhat defeated by Rothier's straightforwardness, and didn't know how to answer her.

"This—"

Seeing Wang Chenhao's hesitation, Rothier asked, "Am I not beautiful?" ”

"You're beautiful!"

"I know you Chinese men don't like women with big breasts, that's called big breasts and brainless, right? But it doesn't matter, I can lose weight. ”

"Uh...... No, it has nothing to do with weight loss. I'm the opposite of other Chinese men's aesthetics, I like a woman with a plump body like you. ”

"Then you like me!"

"Ah~ I mean-"

Wang Chenhao was about to say something, but Luo Hill had already kissed him like the wind.

Seeing this scene, the waiter and the second daughter of Si Qi next to him immediately covered their faces with their hands shyly, and turned their backs at the same time, not daring to look at it again.

"The flesh is numb!"

Finally, the waiter didn't keep her mouth shut and made a protest sound.
