give preference to that

Er habe gute Verbindungen nach New Orleans, es fehle ihm nur an Kapital, um dort etwas anzufangen, etliche Investoren hätten bereits Interesse bekundet, doch wolle er eigentlich den familiären Banden den Vorzug geben, nicht zuletzt, weil sich alles, was sie gemeinsam anpackten, in Gold verwandelte.
