ya I agree with his character of being smart becz of following :
For doing business, one has to be business minded. When it is a game of profits, investments, losses, one has to be hard-core, unscrupulous and manipulative.
Qualities like human considerations, honesty go for a toss. What wins the day is foresight, opportunism and the ability to outsmart others. That is where Gaston scores over Juliette. Juliette wishes to sell the villa to cut her losses, whereas it is Gaston who walks away with the chunk of
profit with his shrewdness. Juliette has no idea about real estate. She curses herself for spending so much money to buy it. When she wishes to sell it, hardly any customers turn up. To get her
due, Juliette tries her best to bargain, to hard sell the house. She presents the villa in such a positive light and psychologically blackmails the couple into buying the house. She uses all the business tactics – flattery, bargain, pressure etc. Juliette lacks the business acumen to take
advantage of the fact that her villa was near French Hollywood. It is also sheer luck that Gaston is there to reap the harvest, which others have sown. When Mrs Al Smith shows interest, Gaston leads her on, never contradicting, and lets the case of mistaken identity go on. He is quick,
decisive, smart and seals the deal with Mrs Al Smith, before the real owner appears. He takes three hundred thousand francs from Mrs Al Smith, gives two hundred thousand to Juliette and walks away with a neat profit of one hundred thousand. He has pleased his wife in the bargain, along with Juliette. The villa that was a losing proposition now becomes most lucrative along with the antique painting, the value of which was not known to anyone.

no i m not agree with him.
I dislike Gaston because he is an opportunist and not behave well took advantage of the situation and made money for himself . It was a dishonest deal and a kind of cheating . It he knew the reasons for his wife for buying the villa and was not in agreement with her he should have been honest to her and not gone to see the villas with her wife. He was impolite and kept passing comments while his wife was taking to Juliette.
