Chapter 64: Money Moves People’s Hearts

Looking at Gram and his friend who were shocked, Kadir Bruno smiled as expected and asked, "How can I prove my identity?"

Kadir Bruno knew that the active explanation at this time would not dispel Gram's suspicion.

The best way to make him believe it was to let Gram make the request himself and then prove his identity.

Anyway, Kadir Bruno's identity was not fake, and no matter which method was used to prove it, it would not change the final result.

"Excuse me, this is too crazy for me. Do you have anything to prove your identity?" Gram asked.

"Of course." Kadir Bruno nodded, took out the check that had been prepared long ago, and explained: "This is the latest check issued by the Royal United Bank of Spain. At present, no one can get it except the Spanish nobles. It should be able to prove my identity, right?

As long as Mr. Gram is willing to go to Spain to work, this check will be yours."

Looking at the obvious Spanish royal emblem and the amount of 5,000 on the check, Gram already had some trust in Kadir Bruno.

This kind of check is not something that ordinary people can forge, and those who can forge checks have no reason to deceive themselves to go to Spain.

Thinking of this, Gram has gradually let down his guard against Cardil Bruno, but still asked with a little doubt: "Sir, why did His Majesty choose me?

I am just an ordinary person, His Majesty should not know me, right?"

"I am only responsible for conveying His Majesty's orders." Cardil Bruno replied: "His Majesty is optimistic about the development of the power industry, which is also the reason why His Majesty invited you to join Spain.

As for why His Majesty knows your name, perhaps only God knows."

"Mr. Gram, as long as you agree to join the Royal Academy of Sciences, this check is yours, His Majesty will also arrange a residence for you in Madrid and provide you with a job.

Believe me, Spain is the most suitable place for you, and your research will get better help in Spain." Now that the identity has been revealed, the most important thing next is to invite Gram to join the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain.

To be honest, the conditions prepared by Carlo for Gram and other scientists are not low at all.

First of all, the king of a country personally sent an envoy to invite them, which gave enough face to those scientists. Although the status of scientists has risen since the Industrial Revolution, it has not reached the highest level of the country.

Scientists with business acumen can obtain a lot of funds through the technology they develop, thus becoming capitalists or high-ranking social figures.

But most scientists are still poor all their lives, and the patents they develop may be seized by other capitalists.

In such a situation, let alone the personal invitation of a monarch of a country, even if it is only an invitation from a noble with status, it is enough to move these scientists.

What's more, Carlo's treatment for these scientists is top-notch. A check of 5,000 pesetas may not seem much, but it is worth about 200 pounds, which is equivalent to the total income of eight or nine skilled workers in a year.

Although Gram works in an electrical equipment company, he is not a management or important position. He is an ordinary electrical equipment consultant.

His income is considered middle class in Paris, with a weekly salary of about 35 francs and an annual income of 1,825 francs, which is 73 pounds.

This check almost reached Gram's total income for three years, and it was money that Gram could get unconditionally as long as he agreed to join Spain.

Such conditions were sincere enough, and they were attractive enough for Gram, who needed to support his family.

Although he was already tempted, seeing his friend's envious look, Gram decided to help his friend.

"Sir, if I go to Spain, can I invite a few friends to go with me? Please rest assured that my friends also have excellent abilities in electricity, and they are definitely qualified for the positions of the Spanish Electricity Company." Gram asked cautiously.

After all, the other party represented the King of Spain. Gram knew that his inquiry was a bit presumptuous and might cause the other party to be disgusted.

But after all, he also had some good friends here, and his friends were also capable. Gram also wanted to have a few familiar friends in the foreign country of Spain.

"Of course." Cardil Bruno nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you work in the power industry, you can choose to join the Spanish nationality.

The Spanish Power Company needs a lot of talents. Please rest assured that your income in the Spanish Power Company will definitely not be lower than it is now, and the residence in Madrid will be arranged for you."

Gram's inquiry was like the sound of nature to Cardil. Originally, Carlo arranged an additional task to attract some ordinary talents. If he could attract some additional talents while inviting Gram, wouldn't it be a more perfect completion of the task assigned to him by His Majesty the King?

Hearing that the other party agreed to his request, Gram breathed a sigh of relief, and William also cast a grateful look at Gram.

Although they were all consultants of the electrical equipment company, it was a small company after all, and was quite stingy in terms of capital investment.

Especially the instability in Paris in recent times has caused the boss of the company to owe wages many times. If they don't have to support their families and have no other options, they are unwilling to continue to stay in such a hopeless company.

Now that there is a better choice, of course, it is better to work hard to earn more income for yourself.

"Mr. Gram, I will stay in Paris for a few days. If you are ready, you can come to this address to find me, and I will arrange a train to Spain for you at any time.

Of course, the more friends you have working in the power industry, the better, even if there are hundreds of people, His Majesty will not mind.

Looking forward to meeting you again in Madrid, maybe when we meet in Madrid, you will become the general consultant of the National Power Company." Kadir Bruno said goodbye with a smile, leaving Gram some time to think and prepare.

After all, going to Spain is equivalent to another immigration. For Gram, who has a family, he still needs to convince his family.

Kadir Bruno has full expectations for Gram. If Gram can really bring hundreds of power workers to Spain, I believe His Majesty will definitely be satisfied.

He can also rely on his contribution to winning over Gram to become Carlo's confidant, gradually gain Carlo's favor, and enter the Spanish upper echelons.
