Chapter 1065 European Branch
"...I feel very honored to receive the favor of His Majesty. But there is one question that must be clarified. Why did His Majesty reveal the military secrets to me first?" Hong Tao could not care less, but Cohen could not let it go. After thinking about it, he could not figure out the logic behind it.

Could it be that Emperor Jingyang really considered himself a friend? But as soon as this thought came to his mind, another villain swung his fist and slapped him. Too naive, the emperor just said that, not necessarily all false, but as long as it went against the interests of the empire, he would go from friend to enemy in a matter of minutes without even blinking an eye.

"Military secrets? No, no, no, you obviously misunderstood. I never said that the imperial army would go to the New World to fight. What we are talking about now is the American Development Company, which is a completely civilian organization and is responsible for its own profits and losses. At most, I will buy some stocks and wait for them to appreciate. I am not even a major shareholder.

If you have Dutch friends who want to buy, you can introduce them to try. Even if they are Spanish or Portuguese, it doesn’t matter. Conflicts between countries do not necessarily have to be reflected on Chinese people. Normal economic exchanges should still be encouraged! ”

What was said just one second ago was denied in the next second. This is the basic skill of a politician. In order to reassure Cohen, Hong Tao firmly denied the military nature of the American Development Company and lied blatantly, not a single word of it was true.

After leaving the palace, Cohen's mind was still dizzy and he couldn't figure out many things. So he didn't go back to Prince Duan's residence directly, but walked to Qipan Street, called a carriage, and went straight to Silva's house in the west of the city.

The first was to say goodbye to Silva and Oyani, the second was to have a meal, and more importantly, he wanted to ask these two high-ranking officials of the empire what the emperor was going to do and why.

"My dear friend, if the emperor really said so, it is best to do so. The issuance of shares is absolutely true, and Silva and I have been busy with this matter these days.

What does it matter whether the American Development Company is a military or civilian company? It is enough to make money. If you want to ask us for relevant information, the answer can only be three words: I don't know!
But it's not too late to know now, we decided to use the money from selling tulip futures to buy the company's stocks. You have to know that the emperor has never lost money in decades since he invested in his first industry, Time Workshop, and this time should be no exception.

As for the fact that the negotiations were not going well, but the emperor seemed to be indifferent, I think you neglected it. The emperor must have benefited from it, and the problem may be with the duchess. As for what the benefit was, I still regret not knowing!

After so many years, you should have gotten used to such answers and be familiar with the emperor's style of doing things. When he wants you to know something, he will chase you to tell you, and when he doesn't want you to know something, it's useless to rack your brains.

Just wait and see. I am deeply worried about my former homeland, but it is just worry. If Silva and I had not boarded the Montanez and stayed in the Governorate of the New World, the ending might have been tragic. Damn the Habsburgs, damn Felipe IV, damn the war!

Well, you're leaving tomorrow, so let's talk about something exciting. In a few months I might have to go back to Europe, specifically to Paris and London.

You would never guess what I was going to do, a bank. The Sun-Moon Bank was going to open branches in Paris and London! Oh my God, I never thought that I would be able to return to Europe one day, and as the Prime Minister of the Sun-Moon Bank.

Compared to it, the Venetian, Lombard, Spanish, and French banks are just country money boxes. And my baby Julie will be stationed in the Paris branch as a senior employee. It's so fast, she is already 21 years old and will graduate from the Royal Academy next year. "

It was a good time to come today. Not only was Silva at home, but Oyani also came back early and was in a very good mood. She cooked two Spanish-style dishes herself to entertain the distinguished guests who had come from afar.

After listening to Cohen's story, she expressed her opinion and gave advice before her husband. But she went off topic and revealed a surprising piece of news. What really made her excited was not her career, but her daughter's growth and entering the right path. If things continue like this, she and Silva may see the birth of the second female prime minister of Sun Moon Bank in their lifetime.

"Okay, okay, stop praising me for now. I don't want my daughter to live in Europe permanently. There's a war going on there, and it's been going on for more than ten years and hasn't stopped yet. She could have stayed in Beijing, why did she have to go to Paris? It's all your fault!"

Some are happy and some are sad. When talking about his daughter, a cloud of gloom immediately appeared on Silva's fat face. He even stopped eating his favorite seafood noodles. His mouth was full of complaints, complaints about his wife.

"No, absolutely not. My daughter cannot stay with me forever and be protected by my family. That would make her lose the ability to fly. But you guessed wrong this time. I never made any suggestions to anyone. Jasmine's appointment was proposed by His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty said that Jasmine's ability is comparable to the other candidates, but her appearance is more suitable for working in Europe, and he believes that the two of us can provide more help. You see, as a father, you don't know as much as His Majesty the Emperor about how to guide children from school to society.

This is a very wise decision. As long as Jasmine can handle the branch business in Paris well, it will be the first achievement in her life that will be recognized by the emperor, and it will be of great help to her entire life!"

Perhaps it was because she had entered menopause. Oyani, who was already strong and aggressive, could no longer control her anger when faced with her husband's accusations. She stood up, put her hands on her fat waist, and began to educate her husband.

"...Well, you are right! Cohen, it's a good thing your wife and children are in Amsterdam, otherwise it would be like this every day."

Although Silva had long surpassed his wife in terms of official position and rank, his family status had not changed much. Facing his wife, who was flushed and aggressive, the fat black man immediately became timid, but he was still not idle and turned to complain to Cohen.

"Oyani, please be rational. If you continue like this, I will have to leave early!" Cohen was still very friendly. At the critical moment, he firmly stood on the side of his male compatriot and made a solemn protest to Oyani in righteous words.

"Okay, okay, Your Excellency Governor, please continue!"

It wasn't that Oyani really wanted to lose her temper in front of the guests, but it was very difficult to suppress the anger once it came up. Even when facing the emperor, she would sometimes get angry.

But the emperor knew the human heart better than her husband, and did not blame her for being rude in front of the emperor, but said that this situation was human nature. Especially women, when they are about fifty years old, they will have endocrine disorders for a period of time, which makes them prone to uncontrolled temper, accompanied by sweating and hot flashes.
