Vol 4 Chapter 85: Chips

Guert Fogel returned to his residence in a slight absence.
Everything born today is very rare for him, or it can be said to be unique in his decades of career so far.
When his uncle Jacob Fugger sent him a message from the imperial palace minister Kotzach, Gult was not very concerned about the matter.
After all, the whole family is busy with a major event now. If this thing is successful, the Fugger family will become Europe, and may even be the richest family consortium in the world.
And this thing is to make a huge political contribution to the imperial emperor Maximian to help him prepare for the confrontation with the French king in the near future, in exchange for the largest copper mining right in Hungary, known as Europe.
This matter is so important to the Fugel family, that even if the news and the attached copy from the Kotszach faction seem ridiculous, in fact, if the plan with amazing profits is successful, there is no It can particularly attract the attention of the Fugels.
But Jacob Fogel still saw something different from the plan. With his sharp instincts, Old Fugel even felt that the way of the free trade zone described in the plan was very likely. Will have an unexpected effect.
Because of this, even at this time, Guert Fogel was sent to Pisa by his uncle. He wanted to see for himself whether the method described in the plan could really bring these ports Come out of past profits.
If it is possible, Gult does not care to simply invest money here, or simply buy the operating rights of these ports, which is why Machiavelli will receive news that the Jews of Pisa may invest in the port.
For the Jews, whether they are from Pisa, Rome or elsewhere, if they are like blood vessels that keep wealth flowing like blood, then the Fugel family is the heart that makes blood.
But Gult didn't even think of a place in Pisa that was not valued by others, but met someone who was unexpected.
This little noble named Alexander Juliant Gumbre not only mentioned the Hungarian copper mine they were planning, but more importantly, he pointed out that the Fugger family had always worried about the problem.
Although Emperor Maximian had agreed to sell the mining rights, but this involved another person, which made this matter difficult and tricky.
Vladislas II, the king of Bohemia, was also the king of Hungary, and because this king has always been fighting for the succession of the Hungarian throne with Emperor Maximian, there are many contradictions, and it can even be said that he has reached the front. Relatively.
Because of this, in the past, the Fugger family was too close to Emperor Maximian, and not only did he not get any favors with Vladislav II, even the business was often troubled by many times, but now Fugger With the permission of the emperor, Jiaran started to mine on the land of Hungary. This was not only a huge loss of money for Vladislas II, but also an almost insulting move.
Because of this, some business of the Fugel family in Bohemia has frequently received bad news. In addition to being troubled by the Bohemians, there is even news that Vladislas II has been publicly released Then, to support the local merchants to unite to drive out the business of the Fugel family from Bohemian and even Hungarian lands!
This is a very troublesome situation for the Fugel family. Even the old Jacob, who has been through the storms, feels struggling when facing such a dilemma, thinking hard about how to solve the immediate problem.
For the Fugger family, the Hungarian copper mine must be won, because what they are looking at is not the huge profits of selling copper mines, but the one that determines the price of copper mines in Europe by controlling the largest production site. Monopoly.
For this, the Fugger family decided to provide Maximian with the cost of the war at a huge price that was almost suffocating.
But they would never give up on the business of Bohemia. In addition to the same considerable profits, the old Jacob was more worried that the confrontation with Vladislas II would cause the king to become iron. The destruction of their hearts in the mining industry in Hungary.
After all, although Maximian has the lofty status of the emperor, the king of Hungary is still Vladislas II.
This is when the Fugel family is about to usher in a huge leap, but it is facing inevitable crisis.
At this time, a young aristocrat who didn't pay attention suddenly said that he could help the Fugel family solve this difficult problem that could not be avoided. This made Guert Fogel surprised and even more worried. Repeatedly.
Gult was not thinking about whether Alexander was bragging or lying at all, at least at this point he judged that he still had it.
What he thought was how the young noble knew all this. Although he didn't make it very clear, but there were only a few words. Gulte already knew that this person definitely talked about the key ideas.
The contradiction between the emperor and the King of Bohemia, and the dilemma faced by the Fugels now, and even vaguely, he also heard Alexander's ambition to suggest that the Fugels tried to control the copper price in Europe.
How did he know?
Gult was horrified, but this was not the most critical thing. The important thing was that the young man told him that he could solve this problem for the Fugel family!
Gult moved.
The Fogel family is not very prosperous now. As a family that has risen too fast, they have relied on the cleverness and sharp sense of smell of the two generations before and after grabbing the almost big family, but with other generations. Compared with the accumulated family, the Fogel family also faced many problems while possessing great wealth.
One of them is how to select the heir.
Although Jacob Fogel, who is the head of the family, has only entered the strong age now, but everyone knows that in an era like this, perhaps a sudden illness may kill a person's life. How much wealth you have has nothing to do with status.
Because of this, for the descendants of the grown Fugger family, everyone has the opportunity to become the head of the future family. After all, their uncle Jacob inherited as the third son instead of the eldest son. A family business.
This virtually stimulated the young Fugels, and also let them know that as long as they have enough talent and performance, it is not the eldest son who has the opportunity to inherit the family business.
Gulte is one of them. He thinks he has talents and brains, which makes him like to be the head of the family.
Because of this, Gult was very disgusted with coming to Pizza. He even felt that he was leaving the family to come to Pizza at this critical time, maybe someone in the family secretly made a move.
But what he didn't expect was that this errand, which was not optimistic about him, suddenly jumped out and surprised him.
Gult ended the meeting with Alexander almost in a hurry, because he knew that even if he continued, he would probably make things worse because of lack of concentration, and he needed to calm down and think about it.
Guert can guess that Alexander dared to show him this chip, it should be sure that he will not be robbed after taking it out, so this should be that he has some kind of unknown or in the Bohemian court Is a very reliable relationship.
Gult felt that if this not only made sense, it might also be able to resolve the contradiction with Vladislas II as Alexander said, after all, whether it was the emperor or the Bohemian king, It is said that all the symptoms are still in the interest. If we can find a way to solve the symptoms, then things will not be difficult.
As for how to solve it, Gult believes that there is no door that Florin cannot knock on.
Now what he had to think about was how to get the Gombray to lead him to the front of the door.
Gult, who returned to his residence, came up with the plan again. He knew that Alexander seemed to be very interested in the plan, which made him feel that he had a good bargaining chip.
It was only once again that I carefully looked at this seemingly whimsical plan, but after careful analysis and thought to be reasonable, Guart couldn't help but whisper.
He couldn't tell what it was like, maybe his uncle knew it, because his uncle once said that when he had decided several major family problems in the past, he seemed to have such a trance or indecision.
Old Jacob referred to it as a crossroads, that is, hesitant and anxious before facing a major decision. Gult remembered that his uncle said that the choice he made was the kind of "inspired by God."
This may sound strange, but making such a major decision is more a matter of trust than one after careful consideration.
Gult decided to take a closer look at the plan again. After all, when the Ottomans may attack Europe at any time, the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to acquire so many coastal port shares is really absurd.
But even so, Gult carefully reviewed the plan, and he couldn't stop remembering every word the young man had said before meeting Alexander.
Then he suddenly remembered that the house in Alexandria had asked him "I don't know how your family viewed the Ottoman invasion".
Gult's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt the short beard on his chin.
He realized that it was impossible for Alexander to be unclear about the Ottoman movement. At least it is said that there is now an Ottoman messenger in Rome. So why did he propose such an obviously unreasonable plan?
This Gumbre could not have been an idiot, as can be seen from the fact that he made pizza so vividly.
In this case, the only explanation is that the plan is indeed profitable.
Gulte once again carefully looked at the plan almost word for word, trying to find out some of the clues that could make him see through Alexander.
But he soon realized that this was obviously in vain, because there was no place in it that suggested that the plan was reasonable.
"Unless, that Gumbre has negotiated conditions with the Ottomans, the war will only make those ports depressed."
Gult thought.
But then he overthrew this absurd idea, Gult did not think that Alexander had the capital to negotiate with the Ottomans.
Based on Gult's understanding of the Ottomans, it is impossible for them to be tempted without paying a huge price.
And Alexander obviously didn't have this weight.
Thinking so, Gult felt a little puzzled.
But if it were not so, he couldn't really figure out how Alexander would come up with such an obviously risky plan.
After all, even the stupidest person should know that no one would be willing to take the money to take such a big risk if there is no sufficient basis to persuade the other party.
Although it was only a rough calculation, Gulte was shocked by the amount of money.
It ’s just that Gult knows he ca n’t leave Pisa, even if he needs to spend more time in the city, because his Alexander ’s promise to help the Fuggers solve the Hungarian copper mining rights is too important. Too.
In this matter, Gulte cannot but be careful.
He decided to send the news immediately to his home in Augsburg, while wondering how to reply to Alexander.
As a businessman, Gulte is very clear about the role of chips. Now that Alexander has shown his cards, it is up to him to see how he copes.
Gult thought about walking to the open window. He accidentally saw a group of ragged civilians walking through the window outside.
Listening to the peculiar tone of those passing by outsiders, Gult felt as if he had found the key to dealing with Alexander.
Gurte was sent away, and Alexander stayed in Lucrecia's house. Since he had already made a decision, he did not intend to return Lucrecia to the Alfonso, the Duke of Billy Shelley.
Lucrecia was licking her strawberry with a silver kitchen knife with her tongue, enjoying the sweet and sour taste, and Lucrecia's eyes were slightly curved into a crescent.
"My father sent someone to deliver the letter," and it seemed that it was a good time to say something. Lucrecia moved her body forward and looked at the expression on Alexander's face seriously. "Do you know why?"
Alexander's hand holding a small piece of pomegranate seed lightly paused. He silently looked at Lucrezia. Speaking of it now, he sometimes didn't quite understand what he thought about this beautiful little woman.
If it was before, maybe he didn't care much about Lukrekiya's stay, but after the night at Mrs. Olgala's house, he could no longer ignore his heart.
This is a very simple woman, maybe because of her personality, her feelings are erratic, and sometimes it is easy to think differently, but when she is serious, she will give up everything.
Alexander could n’t forget the scene when Lucrecia shouted
Run!
When Caesar arrived. It was at that moment that he decided not to let go of this woman, even if one day because of her erratic Wants to leave, Alexander has decided that even if forced to leave her!
Faintly feeling that Alexander was more intimate with her than before, Lucrecia couldn't help but be happy.
"My father said that Alfonso, Duke of Billy Shelley, had agreed to go to Rome," Lucrezia stopped, seeing that Alexander was not responding, and her linen brows were slightly frowned. ? "
Alexander put down the pomegranate seeds in his hand, and silently looked across the table at Lucrezia, who was sitting opposite.
The bright red strawberry is now halfway between the two lightly opened lips. As long as the strawberry is lightly pressed, the strawberry will be completely crushed, and the light red juice will slowly run down the corner of the lips.
But Lucrezia only contained the fruit lightly. Alexander knew that she should not have done it intentionally, but this unintentional move made her have a fascinating charm.
Alexander slowly pushed the plate with pomegranate seeds aside, first looked at Lucrezia, who was slightly irritated, then suddenly grabbed her wrist, and when she just screamed unexpectedly, Lucrezia's body He was dragged across the table and forced to lie on his back.
"Remember I asked if you would marry Alfonso of Billy Shelly before," Alexander clasped his hands firmly on the smooth shoulders of Lucrezia, who was struggling. "You said at the time that you did not want to know anyone Be responsible for your words and deeds after making promises, so now is the time for you to pay for your choices. "
Talking to Alexander's lips covering the lips of Lucrezia who was about to speak.
Lucrezia pushed hard in a panic. She did n’t know why Alexander ’s reaction was so great today, which made her a little uneasy, but then she was swallowed by the flame that Alexander ignited on her body, and her body followed The kiss that Alexander fell on her caused a tremor of tremor.
As the skirt on the body fell to the ground messily, when the huge joy that followed came all over the body, Lucrezia's head fell over the table and could not help struggling to lift it up, which was as tight as possible. There was a high-pitched moan that was difficult to contain.
Outside the window, I heard the constant tweets. The slightly slanting afternoon sun had gradually dyed a deep rose red. The sunset reflected the entire room with a layer of light gold, and I also slept in Lukrezija in the arms of Alexandria. There was light on the face.
Moving lightly, a crisp sound came from around him. Alexander looked at him, and then picked up a scattered strawberry from the table and gently placed it on the hilly white chest of Lucrezia lying on his back.
The red strawberry and the white skin set off each other, making Alexander feel another impulsive impulse.
Feeling slightly cool, Lucrezia opened her eyes slowly. When she saw Alexander, who was holding her strawberry gently down the snow hill in front of her chest, Lucrezia's face showed a hint of shyness, and then she took a look With one hand gently inserted into Alexander's head, fingers gently stroking while gently stroking him, beckoning him to lower his head again.
"Do you just want to eat this strawberry?"
Lucrezia asked in a whisper, she was still a little shy, thinking that the two of them were actually fooling around at the dining table. She thought that the servants and servants outside who heard the sound would laugh at her behind her.
"Of course not. I have more charming strawberries that I haven't tasted yet."
Alexander said with a smile, he was in a good mood at this time, and the beauty in front of him made him ready to taste the delicious food in front of him.
It was only a slight knock on the door that interrupted the atmosphere in the room. Alexander first listened to his ear and determined that it was indeed someone who knocked on the door and he sat up.
Just looking at the table that became messy due to the intense action of the two before, and the clothes that were thrown everywhere, Alexander could only scratch his head helplessly.
"Wait a minute, I'll be here in a minute."
"Yes, lord."
Uliu's voice rang outside the door, and then there was no more sound.
Alexander whispered Lucrezia not to move, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and then he opened the door and walked out quickly.
A little further in the corridor, Uliu was talking to an elderly maid who was the head of the servants sent by Alexander VI to serve Lukrezija.
Seeing Alexander walking out of the room, the maid who was about to meet was stopped by Uliu's hand, and she hurried over until Alexander signaled.
"Go help your lady clean up," Alexander whispered, and after a pause, he continued, "Make more hot water and help her to make the bed, she was a little tired this afternoon."
The maid nodded silently, and then walked quietly into the room ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Looking at her back, Alexander looked back at Uliou.
The Moor shrugged slightly as if to say that he had nothing to do with him, but then he still tilted his head: "I didn't say anything, lord, I just told her not to talk casually."
"I know."
Alexander murmured a little. He knew that before the servants came, Alexander VI must have told them that way, but when he thought of the Moors, he had the illusion that he seemed to be cheating outside.
"What's the matter?" Alexander's expression grew serious.
"Master, Carlo is back and brought a large number of Agri mountain people." The Moors replied immediately with a smile. ...
