After paralyzing Charles with a few words, a sudden blow from the banker Baron Beauwan almost hit Charles. Although Charles coped with the past quietly on the surface, he was really a little uneasy in his heart at that moment.

In front of this guy, you really can't take it lightly for a moment! Charles sighed inwardly.

While secretly shouting about danger, he also made up his mind to pay attention to continue to deal with this murderous and cunning big banker with 120,000 spirits, and he could not relax for a second.

"Oh......" Baron Beauwan nodded lightly after hearing Charles's answer, and there was nothing unusual on his face, as if he had really just asked casually. If you do the math, you should be a little tight on cash right now. It doesn't matter, I've always been generous with you – because you're able to improve your credit rating through your own efforts. Since you need some cash right now, that's okay, I've got you covered. ”

"Then thank you first." Charles showed gratitude.

Baron Beauwang didn't answer for a while, he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and naturally no one dared to speak to interrupt his train of thought at this time, so the atmosphere became even more depressing than just now.

After a moment, he waved his hand slightly, and several of his subordinates were secretly relieved, and hurriedly left the study that had left them breathless.

Soon, only Charles and Baron de Beauvang and his valet were left.

It seems that the matter of Du Taai has finally come to an end.

Baron Beauwan remained silent. It was only after the rest of the idlers had left that the banker spoke again.

"Monsieur de Treville, if I'm not mistaken. You're a huge rich person now, aren't you? ”

"I don't think you're a rich man in the eyes of a big banker like you, if you're only a few million dollars?" With a humble smile, Charles slyly quipped the other party. "Of course, it's a bit of money."

Having said that, he was actually quite excited in his heart. A young man who had barely managed to survive in the run-up to bankruptcy. Just a few months later, all of a sudden, due to the vagaries of the world, he became a rare mega-rich man - how can this not make people sigh!

As for what price was paid to get this wealth. Then there's no need to dig any deeper.

After all, how many people in the world will investigate the origin of the super-rich?

"Scared!" Baron Beauwan grinned, "I know that our Mr. Treville has such a big heart!" A few million is nothing. I'm afraid I'm going to scare people to death if I say it! ”

But. He quickly regained his original seriousness.

However, you are certainly not wrong, people really shouldn't be easily satisfied. In our golden age, only by having an insatiable thirst for wealth can one truly climb to the top of society. How can such a man achieve great things if a few million francs can satisfy his appetite......"

"I think you're right." Charles nodded.

"I'm glad you didn't let your will and ambition be tempered by a mere million......" Baron Beauwon's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mr. Treville." You are indeed talented, but ...... I think you know that, too. Nowadays, there are many talented people in this world, and if you can't get money and talent, it's worthless, I know that this sounds very vulgar, but you can just walk down the street and take a look, and it won't take you ten minutes to know how correct my words are! ”

"You don't have to go out into the street, and I know you're right." Charles remained calm, and he looked at Baron Beauwan with some inquiry, "But, I guess you mean, we still have a lot of room to work together in the future?" If that's what it means, I'd certainly like to continue to get your help. ”

"That's right! That's it, it's really beautiful! You're so modest, just like me back then! The banker laughed, as if amused by Charles, "But, Mr. Treville, what I appreciate most is that you are calm, practical, unpretentious, and know how to make trade-offs. In front of you, several times I thought I was talking to a colleague, but he turned out to be surnamed de Treville! It's funny, I always thought that famous kids like you were some brainless or prodigals, and this made me impressed!

That's right, that's what I want to tell you, and I think we have a great chance of working together in the future. However, there is no need to worry, we don't have much to do right now, what we need is to calm down, take stock of the recent loot, and plan our next move. But I'm sure it won't be long before we have a lot to do. Rest assured, as long as everyone helps each other, a few million really doesn't matter to you. ”

"Waiting for your call at any time." Charles bowed slightly and saluted. "If you don't have any other arrangements, can I go to your living room to join in the fun, I heard that there are quite a few people here today."

In addition to the same wooing as a few months ago, he also heard the other party's hidden eviction order, so he politely prepared to leave.

"Well, today's ball is huge, so you can go there and have some fun." The baron nodded, "Young man, who doesn't like to socialize?" Go ahead and play. ”

Then, suddenly, he lowered his voice.

"But I'm not going to go cold yet, bad old man, and I'll have to wait for another guest, and I'll have to talk to him. By the way, he's an acquaintance of yours, guess who's here? ”

"Who is it?" Charles, of course, was in no mood to guess.

"It's Monsieur Louis-Bonaparte." The banker replied with a smirk, "I have ceremoniously invited him to-day, and if you look at the time, he should be coming soon." ”

After hearing this surname, Charles couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart. Unexpectedly, this big banker actually called his boss directly!

For well-known reasons, Louis Bonaparte's current identity is very delicate. And Baron de Beauvang went so far as to openly invite Louis Bonaparte to his banquet - in a way. This is also to declare their political position.

It seems that he was already planning a showdown and telling the world that he was going to support Louis Bonaparte with all his might.

So I said. There are many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. "Perhaps, one day in the future, we will all have to serve in the same palace under the throne of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon......

Baron Beauwon's words seemed to be joking, but there was a strange certainty in it, as if he were an astrologer who could predict the future.

No, it's not. It should be said that these big financiers are using the magic brought by their untold money. In creating the future, it works even better than some poor time-traveler.

Charles quickly interrupted the reverie.

It's just temporary, and one day, this magic wand that will create the future. It will be in my hands. Absolute.

"This day is not too far away, and I am looking forward to it as well." Charles smiled in reply to the baron's quip, as if to answer the roar in his heart.

Then, with an unchanging smile, he slowly turned and left the baron's study, the precious Persian carpet beneath his feet, so that his steps did not make any sound.

The baron watched his departing back silently, thoughtfully.

……………………

The charr didn't stay away for long. The Baron's henchmen immediately came to inform Louis Bonaparte's arrival.

Baron Beauwan immediately stepped out of the city to greet the pretender to the throne in person. Then he took him back to his study.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, you're finally back!" The Baron and Louis Bonaparte sat on either side of the desk, and he was at once furious, and now his face was full of humble smiles, like a bank clerk who was courteous to his customers. "Ever since the Emperor left his great empire, the country has been in turmoil, and now it is finally seeing the light of day! Oh, thank God bless us! ”

"God bless us all." Louis Bonaparte, of course, did not have that senseless reserve in the presence of the great banker, and he also smiled heartily. "I am grateful for your attachment and loyalty to the Empire."

It's meaningless, but it's necessary.

"It seems to me that the Empire is the product of the most beautiful things of this country," said Baron Beauvann solemnly to Louis-Bonaparte, "but because of some calamity it could not but retreat for a moment in the face of the raging tides." Due to some astonishing surprises, France ceased to be an empire, which was a historic mistake. ”

"And we're going to correct that mistake completely." Louis Bonaparte calmly added the latter sentence, "France will either become an empire or nothing, and I will take over my uncle's unfinished business and rebuild it." ”

"Yes, there is nothing more uplifting than the rebuilding of the Empire, and I still remember the spectacle of everyone cheering for every victory of the Empire! What a high-spirited France was at that time! The baron sighed with affection, as if he were really reminiscing about the past, "Don't worry, Monsieur Bonaparte, I am willing to do everything in my power to help you in this great cause of rebuilding your empire." ”

"If you can fully support us, it will be the good news that I have been dreaming of." Louis Bonaparte showed the same enthusiasm for the Baron, "and, rest assured, we, the Bonapartes, will be grateful to everyone who has helped us, starting with my uncle." ”

Then Louis Bonaparte sighed softly and continued, "I believe you can see that we must act to save our country. What a disaster has befallen the country today! The economy is sluggish, the order is chaotic, everyone is suffering, and there has just been a war! In these difficult times, we must step up and restore the peace and prosperity that this country deserves......"

"It's amazing how well you've just come back and have such a deep pulse on the pulse of this country." Baron Beauwang complimented him again, and then sighed, "Hey, we've been waiting for another emperor after all!" ”

These two people, one is the mastermind of the recent financial turmoil, which has bankrupted countless people; One is an adventurer who is actively involved, who is ready to make a fortune, and a careerist who is ready to take advantage of the situation, but both of them are sighing at the moment, full of sorrow and sympathy for the chaos of the country, and full of sorrow and sympathy for the plight of the people. If you can't do this, you won't be able to get to where you want to be.

In this way, in these high-sounding clichés, the two confirmed their respective cooperation intentions.

Next, it's time to look at the bids.

"Hey, you're right, the country is in a critical situation, everything is in chaos, and the whole country is in dire straits." Baron Beauwan let out another long sigh, "And look, what have we done to solve all this?" What have been done by the institutions that are supposed to help stabilize the country the most! You see, they didn't do anything and let the country fall to where it is now!

The reason why all this is happening is because the country is now full of stiff-minded old people like Count Argoo, hey! How many disasters have they brought to the country due to their incompetence! ”

[Count Argour, formerly known as Antoine Maurice-Apollinaire (1782-1858), a French politician and banker, was quite conservative in his political tendencies during the Bourbon era, and supported the Bourbon Restoration, so he was nominated by the then Prime Minister Duke De Kaz in 1819 and was knighted by King Louis XVIII.

After he supported the July Dynasty, in 1834 the Comte d'Argou was granted royal assent by King Louis-Philippe to become president of the Banque de France.

He was president of the Banque de France for a total of 23 years, retiring in 1857 under Emperor Napoleon III. 】

Hey, this guy actually wants to be the president of the Bank of France?

After hearing Baron Beauwon's hint, Louis Bonaparte couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

However, at this time, of course, he will not be stingy with promises.

"So, we should work together to renovate the country." He replied in a vague way.

It is to show support for the other person's ideas without making any commitments.

"That's great!" Baron Beauwan smiled very happily, as if he really didn't hear the other party's slippery head to avoid his request, "Don't worry, Monsieur Bonaparte, I will definitely help you and let you complete the emperor's career again!" ”

The two of them shook hands like that. (To be continued......)
