Make France Great Again

Chapter 181 On Banker Responsibilities

Although the bankers present were not happy with President Jerome Bonaparte's forced apportionment, none of them wanted to make the uncrowned king of France angry.

Especially at this juncture, although they control the financial lifeline of the country, they are called the uncrowned kings in Paris newspapers, but their power is too weak compared with those who really hold power, and all their threats are nothing more than selling stocks Cause a chain reaction in the stock market, and then put a regime at risk of turmoil, but I can't guarantee that my life will survive before the regime turmoil.

If you lose money, you can make more money, but if you lose people, everything will be empty.

The old foxes present did not agree or oppose Jérôme Bonaparte. They were waiting for an "early bird" to help them test the president's bottom line.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the old foxes were still quietly waiting for someone to happen.

"Mr. President, of course we are willing to contribute our part to the national defense of France, but..." This was a young man about the same age as Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but speak.

This is the eldest son of James Rothschild, Alphonse de Rothschild, who is also the successor of the French branch of the Rothschild family.

Since the older generation has not yet passed away and a new generation of young talent is on the stage for the first time (Lionel Rothschild), the helm of Rothschild Bank is still James Rothschild, and it will not be until James Rothschild After the death of Germany's mother, Lionel Rothschild, who had accumulated strength, proposed to separate the family, and James Rothschild would completely transform from an international bank to a semi-regional bank.

Alphonse de Rothschild, who was born in 1827, was born in the "heyday" period of the Rothschild family. In addition, Alphonse de Rothschild himself was only 22 years old, which made him quite different from the old foxes present. It is less prudent than a little more impulsive.

If it wasn't for his father, James Rothschild, who has already declined in energy, in order to prevent the French branch of the Rothschild Bank from having no successors, if James Rothschild deliberately let Alphonse de Rothschild gradually take over the family affairs, he would definitely No chance to go to this dance.

With an unsteady personality, he has become the first bird in the expectations of all the old foxes.

"But what?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Alphonse de Rothschild with a smile on his face. From Jerome Bonaparte's words, Alphonse did not feel the hostility of Jerome Bonaparte .

"But Mr. President, you must give me a specific amount!" Alphonse de Rothschild also found himself a little impulsive, so he could only cautiously ask Jerome Bonaparte.

"The specific amount?" Jerome Bonaparte said to everyone present with a finger in the depths: "How about ten million francs?"

hiss!

Most bankers couldn't help but gasp when they heard this number.

For them, 10 million francs is not too much, and there is always a squeeze, not to mention that the money is not shared by one family, but shared equally among the major bankers.

But the bankers present subconsciously regarded Jerome Bonaparte as a passing guest in the presidential position.

If they had paid Jerome Bonaparte's so-called 10 million francs, then the presidents after Jerome Bonaparte would probably learn it well.

If every term is like Jerome Bonaparte, their bankers may become the government's cash machine.

The job of the bank is not to send money to the President!

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid it won't work!" Alphonse de Rothschild politely declined Jerome Bonaparte's proposal: "I think you know that our family has many investment projects, and the money on hand is not enough. Well off, let alone ten million francs,

Even 1 million francs are probably not there! "

What a joke! At that time, the Rothschild family started from the antique business and rose from the bottom (forcibly). In order to survive, they had to work for politicians and be blackmailed by politicians. The Rothschild family will never do such a business.

"I heard that the Rothschild family is sitting on a golden mountain!" Jerome Bonaparte still teased Alphonse de Rothschild with a smile on his face, wishing that Alphonse de Rothschild could taste it What is a French prison.

Damn, it's really lawless. Is there any country that is more tolerant of bankers than ours?

Without a country, where did these bankers come from!

Now the president has something to do, but they all stand by and don't know what to expect in return!

"We don't have gold mountains, they all belong to them!" Alphonse de Rothschild quickly "clarified" the rumors mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte, and he said innocently: "Your Excellency, the bankers are all Vulnerable groups? We are just keeping them for those users. Not only do we have to pay interest, but we also have to do our best to ensure their property and value-added! Although we also love this country deeply, we cannot take the interests of our customers as our criterion! "

Alphonse de Rothschild showed an embarrassed expression, and in his mouth bankers became a vulnerable group.

However, according to Jerome Bonaparte's understanding, most of the Austrian bonds circulating on the Paris Stock Exchange come from the bank of the so-called customer-oriented Alvon de Rothschild.

As we all know, the credit level of Austrian bonds after the Napoleonic Wars was not even as good as a piece of waste paper in the toilet, so James Rothschild dared to package him into a so-called stable bond.

If it weren't for the Austrian Empire relying on the powerful domestic prime minister in 1848, the Russian Empire abroad barely kept the risk of the empire from being dismembered, otherwise the Rothschild Bank in Austria would have gone bankrupt, and the Rothschild Bank in Paris would have also gone bankrupt. To be hit hard.

By that time, the Austrian bonds will be exposed, and those who deposit money in the Rothschild Bank may become like oil treasures and owe the Rothschild Bank a sum of money.

Rothschild Bank has always been proficient in passing on crises.

"That's right, Your Excellency! Our liquidity is also not abundant!"

"That's right! Your Excellency, our bank can't squeeze out money either!"

...

With Alphonse de Rothschild in front, the remaining banks seemed to have found their backbone. They claimed to Jerome Bonaparte that all their money had been invested, and there was really no money left.

Of course, there are also a small number of stable presidents of the Bank of France like Earl Tugogou and the quasi-Bonapartist allies who support Jerome Bonaparte. Their weeping show.

Minister of Finance Achillefold approached Magnet, who was also an ally of the banker, and muttered: "It's a good show!"

Manie showed a look of astonishment, and then a chill passed through his spine and entered Manie's sky cap.

Your Excellency the President, don't you want to...

As he said that, Manie glanced at the door subconsciously. Through the gap in the door, Manie saw a figure outside the gap, and he showed a fearful expression.

Achilfold patted Mane on the shoulder, and said "be safe and don't be impatient" with his lips.

Jerome Bonaparte put on an indifferent face, quietly listening to the banker's "crying".

Until the bankers noticed that His Excellency the President's expression didn't seem to change, they also realized something.

For a while, the entire reception room fell silent.

"Say it! Go ahead! I'm listening!" Jerome Bonaparte sneered. He glanced at all the bankers present and said, "I figured it out! You all have your own problems!"

The bankers were too frightened to speak by Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Alphonse de Rothschild, right!" Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to the "instigator" of everything.

Alphonse de Rothschild realized that he seemed to have offended an unreasonable person, so he could only bite the bullet and respond: "Yes! Your Excellency the President!"

"As far as I know, your Rothschild Bank invests the most in railway bonds! How come you have no money now!" Jerome Bonaparte asked him in a calm tone.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Alvon de Rothschild may be in trouble, and the president will probably use his power to overwhelm others next.

Alphonse de Rothschild was taken aback. He didn't understand why the President knew about their family's situation.

Could it be that the president has been eyeing their family early in the morning?

An ominous premonition flooded into Alvon de Rothschild's heart, he swallowed hard, and subconsciously glanced at the door.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to walk out of this gate today!

"It is precisely because we support His Excellency the President's policy of building railways that..." Alphonse de Rothschild quickly remedied: "Our family is willing to serve the French defense policy!"

"No need! Mr. Alphonse de Rothschild!" Jerome Bonaparte coldly interrupted Alphonse de Rothschild's defense: "It is not necessary for me, the president, to stand against the French people!"

Jerome Bonaparte's words chilled the hearts of all the bankers, and they also realized that the situation seemed to be moving in an unfavorable direction.

Jérôme Bonaparte clapped his hands lightly. Under the terrified eyes of the banker, the Paris Police Superintendent Carlière led several policemen to cooperate with Minister of Justice Rouet to enter the door.
