After listening to David Rothschild's story, the faces of everyone present became very solemn.

The situation of the Rothschild family in France has indeed reached the most dangerous point!

At this time, Guy Rothschild suddenly said slowly in an old voice: "Now we have not lost the last chance to resist, we still have some time. Although we will definitely lose a lot this time, until the last moment, we still have to find a way to preserve our strength as much as possible, even if it is just to save a fire in the end!"

"Our family has come through the bigger crisis before, but now it's just the French side that has a problem, and I believe we will be able to get through this crisis!"

Everyone present nodded their heads, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was a little more relaxed.

"If, according to David, the Bourbons, the Orleans, and the Bonapartes, have put aside their rivalry for the time being and have agreed on the issue of dealing with our family, then our allies in France will certainly not be able to stop it. ”

"Our forces and connections are not in France, and even if we ask people from other countries to help, it will not have much effect, and the cost will definitely not be low, and there is a huge secondary risk. ”

"I think the only way we can do that is to start at the level of the French government, especially President François Mitterrand!"

"The policy of nationalization of enterprises is led by him, and if he can subdue the Bourbon and other families, he will definitely be able to open the channel of life for us!"

Liszt Rothschild pushed his glasses and squinted in analysis.

David Rothschild sighed, shook his head and said, "We have tried, but François Mitterrand has a perfunctory attitude and does not want to have disagreements again with Bourbon, Bonaparte and other families because of our family. ”

"Now his Socialist Party has a very strong grip on French politics, and other parties can't pose a threat to him at all, so the chips we can use now can't impress him!"

"Even if we agreed to his privatization, just hoping to keep the name of Edmond de Rothschild Bank and get another banking license, he wouldn't agree!"

Sidney Rothschild frowned and thought for a moment before proposing, "Is money useless?"

David Rothschild shook his head and said: "He doesn't talk to us about money at all, he should understand that the Bourbon and Bonaparte families, as well as other parties in the political arena, are watching him, so he is worried about the huge political risks." ”

......

As the crowd continued to suggest and analyze, the opinions of the last nine people were unified.

First and foremost, a part of the shares of Thomson and Rhône Planck Chemicals will certainly not be retained, and the two giant industrial companies will certainly be nationalized by the French government.

But we couldn't sit idly by, so two options were discussed.

The first plan is to see if the equity can be transferred to someone else in a short period of time.

The second option is to supplement that, if no one takes over, then the French government must be compensated as much as possible.

Then there is the Edmond de Rothschild Bank, the family's backbone in France, to do everything in its power to preserve.

If you can't keep it, the bottom line is to keep the name and a banking license.

After the Second World War, it took a great deal to re-enter the Rothschild Bank in France, and if it was kicked out this time, it would have to re-enter the next time, which would be difficult and costly.

Being able to retain the name and banking license now is a huge strategic victory and a fig leaf for the family.

Otherwise, if it is completely swept out, it will bring the Rothschild family to the ground, and other families in Europe will have some thoughts that they shouldn't have!

At that time, the family will usher in a series of troubles!

"Uncle Guy, David, the French side still needs you to fight for the Lord, I will coordinate in the middle and mobilize family resources to give you full support!"

After Jacob Rothschild finished speaking, he looked at the others, his expression became solemn, and said: "And everyone, after you go back, you must be vigilant and increase your penetration into the political field. ”

"Although countries are wary of us, this is not a reason for us to give up political influence, what is happening in France now is a wake-up call for us!"

"Britain is now carrying out privatization reforms, which is a good phenomenon, but France is taking the lead in nationalization reforms, and the rest of Europe is waiting and seeing, and we absolutely want to avoid other countries from following France, which is the biggest political risk!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded with a heavy heart.

......

After the meeting, everyone hurried back to their respective territories.

In particular, Guy Rothschild and David Rothschild immediately convened family members and think tanks in France to discuss after they returned.

Then, on 23 January, they paid another private visit to François Mitterrand, but the results of the visit disappointed them.

After Guy Rothschild and the others left, François Mitterrand picked up the encrypted phone and called Xia Yu, who was reading a book at home, telling Xia Yu that the time was ripe, and the time to operate was running out, and there was still half a month to completely decide!

So, on the morning of January 24, Xia Yu asked Leo Martin to send a letter of worship to Edmond Derothschild Bank in the name of the Bright Fund, and the visitor was Guy Rothschild!

When he received the message from the Bright Fund, Guy Rothschild was very surprised, but he also knew that there was Xia Yu behind the Bright Fund, and the Bright Fund happened to make a big news in France during this time.

Although he didn't know what he was visiting for, Guy Rothschild solemnly replied to the Bright Foundation and set the meeting place at the Rothschild family's residence in Paris, France, as a sign of importance.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of January 25th, Xia Yu took Li Wuming and other bodyguards to arrive at the luxury manor of the Rothschild family in Paris on time!

"Mr. Xia, welcome!"

"I'm David Rothschild, nice to meet you"

Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Rothschild, and said politely: "Hello, Mr. David Rothschild!"

"Mr. Xia, my uncle is old and not very convenient to move, and he is waiting for you in the living room now, please forgive me!"

After listening to David Rothschild's "explanation", Xia Yu secretly sneered in his heart, but his face was silent, he smiled and said "understand", and then followed Dai Rothschild inside.

Sure enough, on the sofa in the middle of the palatial living room, there was an old man with age spots on his face and gray hair, and Xia Yu recognized it at a glance, it was Guy Rothschild.

"Mr. Xia, I'm Guy Rothschild, and I've heard Jacob talk about you......"

......

After a few brief greetings, Xia Yu sat on the sofa on the left hand side under the greeting of Guy Rothschild.

Guy Rothschild and his nephew David Rothschild sat on the couch in the middle and on the right, respectively.

"Mr. Xia, this month, the Bright Fund is the focus of the whole of France, congratulations on having another company with great potential!"

Guy Rothschild said with a kind face.

If Xia Yu didn't know how cruel Guy Rothchild used to be, just based on his current appearance, he would definitely think that he was a kind old man.

"Thank you!"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Guy Rothschild, I just feel that the Bright Fund has been in France for so long, and there is no company that can handle it, so I will find a way to make the Bright Fund famous, so as to catch up with the fame of your family in the financial field." ”

"As for whether this company has great potential, I can't say for sure, who in the world can be 100% sure of a company's future?"

Guy Rothschild smiled and said meaningfully, "Maybe Mr. Xia, you can." ”

"Judging from your rise to prominence, you seem to have a pair of magical hands, and none of the companies you fancy seem to have lost money!"

Xia Yu hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Mr. Guy Rothschild, you think highly of me, this is too exaggerated, I have also experienced a lot of failures, but I have a strong vanity, so I deliberately hid it." ”

Guy Rothschild smiled and didn't argue with Xia Yu again.

He asked softly, "Mr. Xia, do you have any business for us this time?"

Facing Guy Rothschild's cloudy eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Xia Yu gradually restrained his smile, slowly shook his head and said, "I don't have any business for the time being, but this time, I think it is possible to reach a cooperation with your family." ”

"After all, your family has helped me a lot in the past, and I always remember it. ”

"We Chinese have an old saying, called 'The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring'. ”

"This has always been my life rule. ”

"So even though your family didn't find me, when I learned that I might be able to help your family, I took the initiative to come. ”

"Even if I can't help in the end, then I'll do my best, and I won't feel guilty in my heart!"

Xia Yu's words were high-sounding, and he looked sincere, as if he was really here to help.

But Guy Rothschild, who had a ghost in his heart, or said that he knew the situation, did not take it seriously, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a warm smile: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your enthusiasm. ”

"What do you want to do with us?"

Facing the burning eyes of Guy Rothschild and David Rothschild, Xia Yu calmly and said softly: "I heard that the French government seems to be planning to nationalize the Edmond Rothschild Bank?

As soon as Xia Yu's words came out, the faces of Guy Rothschild and David Rothschild all turned cold, and Guy Rothschild even looked at Xia Yu coldly for a moment, although he hid it immediately, but Xia Yu still noticed it.

For a while, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became solemn.

Although Li Wuming, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, had a normal complexion, all the muscles under his clothes were tensed.
