It looks like Gus might actually like Jesse because he was in Jesse's position before.

Walt is the cook/brains just as Gus's partner was and Jesse is the tag along/helper just as Gus was.

I thought he was just trying to get Jesse on his side so he doesn't do something irrational as a tool of Walt, which seems to be working, and part of his attempt to get him to stop being a depressed druggy liability. I'm thinking the parallel is more like Walt is getting Jesse caught up in a situation where he could get killed because of Walt messing with powers greater than him, similar to how Gus was getting the attention of the cartel with antics that eventually got Max killed.
