Make France Great Again

Chapter 598 Reduce the discount rate

When Dr. Ma used sharp writing to scold the "thief" Jerome Bonaparte and the "robber" Nicholas I, and by the way revealed the essence of Jerome Bonaparte's establishment of the Second Empire, Ma The doctor immediately gained a large number of fans.

"They" once again generously donated money to the "poor" (relatively speaking) Dr. Ma. From this article alone, Dr. Ma received nearly 2,000 pounds one after another.

This amount of money is equivalent to half a year to a year's salary for the middle class in London, and it is also a relatively wealthy middle class.

Dr. Ma, whose net worth has soared, once again engaged in irrational consumption. Even his wife Yanni's dissuasion was of no avail.

Jenny had no choice but to write to a second-generation factory owner named En, asking him to persuade Dr. Ma to consume rationally.

The second-generation factory owner surnamed En who received the letter replied to Dr. Ma, in which he sincerely hoped that Dr. Ma could consume rationally.

After reading the letter, Dr. Ma looked at the remaining 1,000 pounds in his hand. His impulsive consumption concept suddenly became clearer. He gave all the remaining money to Jenny and thanked her for her help.

However, Dr. Ma did not know that most of his so-called fan donations came from an account, and the owner behind this account was none other than Jérôme Bonaparte, who was "spurned" by Dr. Ma.

Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte also didn't know that Dr. Ma still had impulse purchases.

If he knew that he had almost trained a Dr. Ma who was brainwashed by consumerism (highly unlikely), he would probably have to cut the financial aid to Dr. Ma!

After all, it is difficult for a person whose mind is full of consumerism to write a masterpiece.

At this time, Jérôme Bonaparte was having nothing to do, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and reading, and in his hand was the official article published by Dr. Ma in the newspaper.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who read the article through, lamented that Dr. Ma was still as vicious as ever, and there were endless references to ancient Greece and Rome. People with little education could not tell that he was swearing.

However, Jerome Bonaparte was still a little unhappy about the "prophecy" that Dr. Ma said asking the French people to stand up and overthrow their rule. For a monarch like him who has extremely high moral integrity and is considerate of the people, how could the people possibly Have the heart to overthrow him!

"Hmph! Foreign forces are determined to destroy me!" Jérôme Bonaparte gave Dr. Ma the title of "foreign force" in a playful way.

After reading Dr. Ma's sharp comments, Jerome Bonaparte continued to read. After reading for a while, Jerome Bonaparte threw the newspaper into the trash can.

The rest of the content is just the same re-reading. Rather than letting these articles pollute your eyes, it is better to throw them away directly.

After a while, Jerome Bonaparte, who was lying on the sofa, raised his head again and looked at the grandfather clock in the corner.

It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, and the tripartite talks between Austrian Interior Minister Bach, advisor Prince Metternich, British Prime Minister Palmerston, and French Minister of State Fuld are probably about to end.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was about to get up and walk around the room twice, there was a knock on the door outside the room. Jerome Bonaparte straightened his sitting posture and rushed out of the door and responded: "Please come in!"

Minister of State Fuld and Minister of Finance Magnet entered the study. Jérôme Bonaparte stood up to greet them, shook hands with them and asked: "How are things going?"

"Your Majesty, everything is going well!" Minister of State Fuld responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Tell me, in what form does this money enter Austria?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Fuld and Magnetao.

Fuld and Magne told Jerome Bonaparte that 20% of the French Empire's 500 million loan to the Austrian Empire was in the form of patented technology, which meant that France promised not to charge any patent fees from the Austrian Empire, and the rest 80% is provided in the form of bonds for the Austrian Empire, which means that the Austrian Empire can sell 400 million francs of treasury bonds on the Paris Stock Exchange, and then banking institutions in the French Empire will evaluate the Austrian Empire before issuing them.

Of course, the Austrian Empire needs to sell mortgaged materials, such as mines and forests, as collateral.

If the Austrian Empire's short-term bonds cannot pay interest on time, they will confiscate the Austrian Empire's mines.

Not only that, when Fuld heard Prince Metternich say that the Austrian Empire had cheap labor, he promised Metternich that he would introduce them to some industrial capitalists.

"How did Palmerston talk about it?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked again about the outcome of Palmerston's conversation with Bach.

Minister of State Fuld shook his head and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Our three parties are not negotiating together. Prince Metternich is negotiating with us! Bach is negotiating with Palmerston, so neither we nor Britain are negotiating together." We know what we talked about! However, judging from Palmerston's expression, he and Bach are quite satisfied with their negotiations!"

"Can you satisfy this old guy Palmerston?" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a click of his tongue: "It seems that the Minister of the Interior still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

Speaking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte paused and said to Fuld: "It's been really hard on you two during this time!"

"This is what we should do!" Fuld and Magne said in unison.

Then Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Fuld and Magnet for a few words, and then asked Magnet how the negotiations with Palmerston on the issue of raising discounts by the Bank of England were going?

"Palmerston has promised us! As long as the Bank of France does not deliberately run the bank, they can adjust the discount rate of the Bank of England back to only two percentage points higher than before!" Magne responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Does that mean the discount has changed from the original 4?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Magnet.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Magne nodded and replied.

"Not bad!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a smile.

"By the way, Your Majesty!" Magnet suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Lionel Rothschild of the Rothschild family also gave me a gift a day ago. In the letter, he told me that Rothschild Bank is willing to repurchase the bonds in the hands of France at a discount rate! I hope France can take your face into consideration..."

"%" Jérôme Bonaparte frowned and said to Magne in a deep voice: "Lionel Rothschild is very well-informed! Let's do this! Transfer some of the bank bonds held by the Bank of France Leave it to Lionel Rothschild, and the other part will be traded directly with the Bank of England! You can’t put all your eggs in the same basket!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's order, Magnet and Fuld showed a subtle smile.

Obviously, Lionel Rothschild will give them a certain amount of benefits.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte chatted with Fuld and Mokar for a while, until both sides felt that there was no suitable topic. Jerome Bonaparte politely said to Fuld and Magne: "Okay. It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you two!”

Upon hearing this, Fuld and Magnet said goodbye to Jérôme Bonaparte, who personally sent them out of the Tuileries Palace.

That night, Marcel Jerug took advantage of the darkness to enter Jérôme Bonaparte's study and reported the "problems" between Fuld and Magne to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"I said, why did Magne suddenly..." Jérôme Bonaparte laughed dumbly, shook his head and said to himself.

"Your Majesty, do you need to investigate them?" Marcel Yale asked without any emotion in his words.

"Forget it!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and rejected Marcel Jerug's suggestion: "No one is perfect! Everyone is a creature of interest, and they will act for their own benefit. Everyone, including me, has selfish motives. If we were to investigate them one by one, even ten debt prisons would probably not be able to contain them! It is normal to have selfish motives, as long as they can maintain a moderate level! Mr. Yerug, you Do you dare to say that you don’t have any selfish intentions?”

Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's inquiry, Marcel Jerug shook his head silently.

His selfish intention is to stay in this position forever like his predecessor Fouche and become an indispensable figure for the emperor.

In terms of the degree of danger, neither Fuld nor Magne is as dangerous as Marcel Jerug.

People like Marcel Jerug are a double-edged sword.

If you don't control it properly, you will hurt yourself in the next moment.

Fortunately, Marcel Jerug himself was older than Jérôme Bonaparte.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, Jerome Bonaparte can definitely get rid of him.

"Mr. Jerome, even people like you have selfish motives, so why should I ask others to maintain a sage's heart!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said to him: "You must also look appropriately now. From domestic to overseas!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Marcel Jerug immediately replied.

After Marcel Jerug left the study, Jerome Bonaparte stayed alone in the study again.

The light blue kerosene light shines on Jerome Bonaparte's serious face, making Jerome Bonaparte look particularly majestic.

After a while, Jerome Bonaparte smiled and sighed: "No one is a saint! No one is a saint!"
