industrial lord

Chapter 102
On a scorching afternoon, Giovanni put on a Wesson collar popular suit and came to the castle to visit Baron Wesson.

What he didn't expect was that he saw an old acquaintance in the living room.

The moment their eyes met, Frederick felt a strong sense of hostility.

Frederick got straight to the point, and asked Giovanni with a smile, "Would you like to be the president of the Wesson Family Bank?"

Giovanni immediately replied: "After studying Wesson Land, I think it is a land with great potential, and I am very willing to serve the baron."

The smile on Frederick's face became brighter, and he pointed to another guest in the living room and said, "This is Deloitte from the Kingdom of Angland. I just hired him to be the head of the accounting firm of the Wesson family. He is responsible for the auditing and other work of all industries under the name of the Wesson family, and will also provide services to other chambers of commerce.”

There are quite a few people who want to invest in the Wesson family. Many people are waiting for the opportunity. Giovanni thought he was fast enough, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him for a long time, and he was an old enemy.

Deloitte is also an experienced financial person, but he does not have the backing of the Abelardo family, and he tried his luck here after the offender was kicked out of the city of Londinium, so Frederick did not give him the bank. Long position, but let him form an accounting firm.

Now Frederick has a lot of business, and there will be more in the future. Economic problems are certain, so it is necessary to establish an accounting firm.

Frederick also intends to see how Deloitte is doing. If he does well, it is not impossible to give him business from the government department in the future.

When Giovanni saw Deloitte for the first time, he was still worried that there would be some twists and turns in the position of the bank president. After hearing that he was in charge of an accounting firm, he was secretly relieved, and at the same time gave Baron Wesson a high look. , thinking that there must be an expert behind him.

The Abelardo family will always encounter an unavoidable problem when doing business—why does the boss completely trust you as an outsider and hand over so much money to you?

Giovanni had been thinking about how to gain the trust of the young Baron Wesson, and whether he should send his cute little granddaughter to warm his bed.

Well now, Baron Wesson made it clear from the beginning that he didn't fully believe in himself, and used other outsiders to censor himself.

It is easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it is difficult to guard against it. This kind of restriction on the bright side is reassuring and worry-free. It can save a lot of hidden transactions and focus on work.

As long as the rules are set, everyone will act according to the rules, and everyone will be relieved, and there is no need to send the little granddaughter out.

Frederick was very happy that Giovanni agreed to serve as the president, but there were still some things to ask: "You two seem to have known each other before? How is your relationship?"

Deloitte immediately replied: "Boss, I just said that the biggest competitor when I was in Londinium City was the bank where this person works."

He already understood the current situation, he was cornered, if he couldn't be the president of the bank, then he should be a dog of the boss.

Giovanni then replied: "When I was working in Londinium many years ago, I spent half my time thinking about how to kill this man."

He knew the enemy of Deloitte very well, and thought that if Baron Wesson wanted to find an enemy for himself, it would be better to find one he was familiar with.

Deloitte stared and said: "Thank you for your concern for me, now you can laugh, my bank has gone bankrupt, and my whole family is homeless."

"However, whoever has the last laugh doesn't know."

Giovanni replied with a smile: "Now I only care about whether Baron Wesson is smiling or not. To me, it doesn't matter whether other people laugh or cry."

His share of the victor's slack made Deloitte clench his fists.

Deloitte said coldly: "I don't mind that Baron Wesson's smile comes from your crying."

Frederick was drinking tea slowly, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, what are you doing with me?

He didn't bother to say anything, after all, it was the two of them expressing their attitudes in front of him, and it would be embarrassing for everyone to tell the truth.

After a while, Frederick gave Deloitte a wink, and the latter understood, got up and left immediately, leaving the living room for the boss to talk about the bank with Giovanni.

Frederick put down his teacup and asked Giovanni seriously: "I picked up a lot of money not long ago, how do you think the money should be spent?"

Giovanni hadn't read the newspapers for nothing for so many days, and he had inquired about a lot of news at the same time, so he was prepared.

"I think the money should be used for loans." He has already prepared how to answer this question, "The business in Wessenland is very prosperous now, and there are many best-selling specialties that are not available in other places. Many merchants need money to purchase more goods. , can provide them with loans.”

Lending money to businessmen is a very common practice of banks, and he is familiar with it.

Unexpectedly, Frederick said: "In my opinion, the position of bank president is very important, and the president must have the same thinking as the largest shareholder."

"I'm going to leave the territory for a few days tomorrow. You can go to Ogilvy these days and ask him to take you around in Wesson. We'll talk about it when I come back."

After speaking, he got up and left the living room.

Giovanni's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that he had screwed up, and it was serious.

He quickly grasped the point. It was his own thinking that deviated from Baron Wesson's, and they had different views on the direction of using this large sum of money.

But it doesn't matter, just figure out what Baron Wesson is thinking.

A few days later, Giovanni met Frederick by the tomato fields of a manor.

At this time, Frederick and Maria were wearing the clothes of a farmer and a peasant woman, with a turban on their heads, and were picking tomatoes with a small basket.

Maria was very curious about the bright red fruits, and looked at each one for a long time before carefully picking them off and putting them gently in the basket.

When the small basket was full, she took the basket and sent the tomatoes to her mother under the awning not far away, and then went to pick another basket in silence.

After running a few times, she looked a little tired, her little face was flushed.

Frederick picked up a tomato and compared it to her face, and said with a smile: "Now your face is as red as it."

Just as Maria was about to say something, she closed her lips tightly as soon as she opened them, and finally just let out a "hum".

Frederick suppressed a smile. The little girl was changing her teeth and didn't like to talk.

"Take a rest when you're tired." He took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the little sweat from Maria's forehead.

Maria raised her hand to cover her mouth and said, "Pick one more basket and rest."

Frederick asked her to go busy, let Tarot watch from the side, and went to talk to Giovanni by himself.

"How do you feel these days?" Frederick asked Giovanni, "Do you understand what I mean?"

In the past few days, Giovanni and Ogilvy visited a circle of emerging industries in Wessenland, had in-depth talks with BASF, Schmidt and others, and Duval sent a thermos.

When Duval knew that he was here to apply for the bank president, he immediately complained: "Mr. Abelardo, look, how many people are waiting for me to produce cups outside, but we only have so few people and factories, and we don't eat or drink. I can't keep up with the order, and the order has been queued until winter."

"The day before yesterday, there was a businessman at home. He couldn't wait. He wanted to sell his bill of lading for next month. Good guy, those who want to buy the bill of lading are fighting."

"But expanding production requires money. Now I have no one to rely on, so I can only count on borrowing money from the principal."

Giovanni understood Frederick's meaning at that time, and now he replied: "I understand what the baron means. Lending money to people who buy eggs is worse than letting more chickens lay eggs."

Frederick nodded, and then said, "Show me the plan for forming a bank."

Giovanni breathed a sigh of relief, this test was finally passed.

He immediately said: "I will submit the proposal tomorrow!"

Frederick thought of a question and asked, "How long will the bank be open for business?"

Giovanni replied, "Ten days at the fastest."

"So fast?" Frederick was a little surprised, he thought it would take at least half a year, at least the venue would take time to settle.

Giovanni replied: "I have already selected a place, next to the intersection below the castle, it is the property of the adults, you can use it directly."

"Don't worry about the treasury. I made an agreement with Professor Ogilvy. When the time comes, he will build a strong safe for the bank to store a small amount of currency, and store more directly in the castle."

The corner of Frederick's mouth twitched. That building was a hotel for guests, but he still nodded.

"Let's go there first." He said, "I'll build a building for the bank when it gets bigger."

Then he used magic elements to draw a Mobius ring in the air in front of him, and said, "This is the bank's logo."
