Although the Rus shouted: not afraid to offend any country.

But this slogan only deals with the surrounding small countries, and for powerful countries like France and England, the Rus' country still does not dare to play hooligans.

The money bag is held in the hands of others, and even if the Rus Kingdom wants to play hooligan, it can't be played.

However, this does not mean that the affairs of the Rus' state should follow the British and French, as a fighting nation, the Rus' people will not accommodate anyone.

Even if this person is in control of his own money bag, that will not work!

It is for this reason that Lopunov decided on his own to invite bankers without the permission of the King of France.

After all, in any case, the Rus' state exists as the third largest power in Europe after Britain and France, and there is no need to look at the faces of Britain and France on such a 'small issue'.

Of course, Rus' 'third-greatest' power is preceded by a prefix: military.

Yes, the Rus' state was only the third largest military power in Europe, not an economic power, nor a cultural power.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, the economic lifeblood of the Rus' country was in the hands of European bankers.

Especially as an ally, France's capitalists held the economic lifeblood of the Rus' country.

The reason for this is that it is no longer a matter of a year or two for the financial revenues of the Rus' state to make ends meet.

Whenever there was a foreign war, the Rus' state always had to borrow a war loan from European bankers.

And France, which is an ally of the Rus' country, naturally bore the brunt and became the money bag of the Rus' country.

The loan was made from the bank, but the bank did not operate the industrial and mining industries, so naturally they had to auction off the industrial and mining mortgaged by the Rus' State to the European capitalists to operate.

Over time, a huge chain of interests has been formed.

In this chain of interests, there were bankers, industrial and mining owners, and naturally there were also nobles in the Rus' country.

The political corruption of the Rus' country was rampant, and foreigners engaged in industrial and mining in the Rus' country, and if they did not have the support of the domestic nobles, they were afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, a piece of the pie has become inevitable.

In general, the Rus' country mortgaged its minerals to the major European banks, and the banks then auctioned the industrial and mining mines to the industrial and mining owners all over Europe, and the industrial and mining owners wanted to operate smoothly and gave a piece of the Rus' domestic aristocracy.

has been so repeated, and now it is already difficult to return, and even the emperor of the Rus State has a headache in the face of such a huge chain of interests.

Of course, Jews are not included in the above-mentioned industrial and mining owners.

For the Rus' and the rest of Europe, the banks and industries of the Jews were like ATMs, and when the domestic finances were tightened, the first thing they thought of was to confiscate the property of the Jews in the country.

This is not the case in Rus's alone, so is the case in European countries.

It also shows how bad the living conditions of the Jews were in this era.

But fortunately, the governments of Europe now need to have some face, and they will no longer confiscate Jewish property for no reason.

However, it is not an exception for the Rus' country to eat so ugly like it now.

……

Moses Brothers Bank is definitely one of the top banks in Europe.

The founder of the Moses Brothers Bank, as the name suggests, was a bank co-founded by the Moses brothers.

As a Jew, the creation of such a bank that ranks among the top in Europe is also a testament to the skill and ability of the Moses brothers.

Moses the Great received an invitation from Lopunov.

In fact, as a Jew, Moses did not want to attend this meeting, but he also understood that as a Jew, if he did not send money in time when the European governments needed it, what awaited them would definitely be a storm of revenge.

Moses the Great was accustomed to this, and he knew that bleeding was inevitable at this meeting.

After some discussion with his brother Moses the Younger, Moses the Great changed into a dress and drove to the embassy of the Rus' Kingdom in the eastern suburbs of Paris.

The guards of the embassy saw all kinds of people holding invitations, all of them were respectful and respectful.

But after receiving the invitation from Moses the Great, the guard opened it and verified it, and his attitude was not as good as before.

Without making things difficult for Moses the Great, it would have been a precious thing.

This was when Moses the Great stuffed a few gold coins into the guard's pocket.

If it weren't for these gold coins, Moses the Great would not have been able to get in so easily without going through some trouble.

However, Moses the Great was accustomed to this.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Moses always had a faint smile on his face, and he thanked the guards before raising his head and walking towards the embassy.

Moses was not the only one who received this treatment, but without exception, they were all of Jewish origin.

Moses the Great was in a gloomy mood, but he did not dare to show it on his face at all.

There were people coming and going all around, and once the Great Moses showed even the slightest hint on his face, he was afraid that what would await him tomorrow would be the news that his bank had been closed.

It's no joke.

In the face of the people coming and going, the big Moses kept a smile on his face, so it was the most humble service staff, and the big Moses was still polite.

When he came to the hall, Moses took a glass of red wine from the table and went to mingle with all kinds of people who were familiar with him.

But those who came from aristocratic backgrounds were always lukewarm towards Moses the Great, a Jew who was so rich and unrivaled.

At this time, an embassy attendant walked up to Moses the Great and quietly shoved a note into the hand of the Great Moses.

As if he had been accustomed to such things, Moses the Great, with a smile on his face, said sorry to the merchant with whom he was talking, and then went to a no-man's corner and typed the note in his hand.

"The Bank of the Moses Brothers shall contribute no less than 300,000 gold francs!"

Looking at the contents of the note, Moses' eyes gradually became a little gloomy.

Without thinking about it, Moses the Great knew that this note had been sent by the Foreign Minister of the Rus' State, Lopunov.

Although it was only a light word, and there was not the slightest hint of threat, Moses the Great knew that if his contribution was less than 300,000 gold francs tonight, then tomorrow the Moses Brothers Bank would be in unprecedented trouble.

"These damn moths!"

Big Moses cursed angrily in his heart, adjusted the smile on his face, clenched his bruised fists tightly, and turned around again and walked into the hall to mingle with everyone.

This is not the first time that Moses has encountered such a thing, and without exception, Moses has given each other a satisfactory price.

In fact, Moses the Great did not dare not give a reasonable price, because the Moses Brothers could not afford their anger.

But this time, Moses the Great clearly felt the pain in his flesh.

Although the Moses Brothers Bank was among the top banks in Europe, and the Moses Brothers were wealthy, 300,000 gold francs was not a small amount.

With the assets of the Moses Bank, it is not difficult to withdraw the money, but the difficulty is that once the competitors know about it, they will definitely hype up the financial situation of the Moses Brothers Bank, which has reached a situation where it is beyond its means.

At that time, once the bank depositors squeezed out the money, the Moses brothers would really want to cry without tears.

The above scenario is not a wishful thinking on the part of Moses the Great, but a fact.

This would have happened as long as the Moses Brothers Bank had lent money to European governments.

Over the years, this situation can be said to be common.

In the past, the amount of loans from other governments was not much, and as long as you take precautions, you can always get over.

But now is different from the past, and the lion of the Rus' country opened his mouth to ask for 300,000 gold francs, and the finances of the Moses Brothers Bank must be in a situation where they are stretched thin.

After all, if the Moses Brothers Bank wants to develop, it cannot only borrow from governments, and the loans from those industrial and mining owners are not a small amount.

It's just that because the matter of personal loans is relatively confidential, outsiders are not very clear.

But this time is different, once the opponents of the Moses Brothers Bank spread rumors again, the Moses Brothers Bank will definitely not be able to come up with so much money to deal with the upcoming run.

One might ask, why did the Moses brothers sit idly by? Wouldn't it be good to give to the other in the other way?

Why didn't the Moses brothers want to do that?

But the other banks are incomparably well-off, and they are not something that the Moses brothers dare to touch.

It's like the Bank of France and the Bank of England, which are in the same sequence as the Moses Brothers' Bank, both of which have government backgrounds, and once the Moses Brothers have done the corresponding means to them, will they still do business in England and France in the future?

Although Europe in this era prides itself on civilization, civilization also has to be divided into objects.

They could not be civilized with the natives of the colonies, and they could not be civilized with the Jews.

Besides, although Europe now seems to be extremely civilized, those nobles are more than gentlemen.

But in private, who doesn't have blood on their hands?

Who is not a male thief and a female prostitute?

Like the newly arrived mayor of Paris and his wife.

On the surface, the mayor of Paris seems to be a well-mannered gentleman, but in reality?

The aristocratic circle has long been spread, and he has kept no less than three lovers outside, and he has embezzled, bribed, and committed all kinds of evil.

And his wife is the lover of the King of France, and also has a writer's lover.

Otherwise, how could he, who was born in a small aristocracy, become the mayor of Paris, the most prosperous city in Europe, in such a short period of time?

The mayor of Paris and his wife are not alone, they are common throughout Europe, but they are inhumane.

Naturally, Moses the Great didn't dare to break it, otherwise he wouldn't be doing business in Paris?

While Moses was wandering in the sky, the foreign minister of the Rus' country, Lopunov, walked up to the heavens, coughed twice, cleared his voice, and began to speak.

After talking about half an hour of nonsense, Lopunov finally got to the point.

“…… For reasons that are well known, our country has suffered a small setback in the process of eastward expansion. That is why His Majesty the Emperor has ordered me to come to Paris and ask for your help.

Of course, no matter how nice I say, it's nonsense, so I'll tell you something practical. ”

Below, the crowd, who had been talking in whispers, saw that Lopnov had begun to dry up, and finally stopped talking and began to listen carefully.

"In keeping with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, this time our country will borrow from you mainly from the iron mines in the central part of the Ural Mountains, the coal mines in the Kutsbas, the copper mines in the southern Ural Mountains, and the timber resources of the Western Siberian region for a period of 20 years."

Coax......

As soon as Lopunov's words were finished, a tidal wave of surprise sounded below.

Whether it is the iron ore in the central part of the Urals, the copper mines in the south or the copper mines in the Kutsbas region, they are all high-quality resources, and they are also one of the largest mining areas in the Rus' country.

They didn't expect that the Rus Kingdom would make such a bloody investment this time.

But think about it, the Rus country did borrow a lot of money this time, and if there were not enough minerals as collateral, it would be difficult to get satisfactory funds.

After any more surprise, the bankers on the field began to think slowly.

Whether it is the iron ore mines in the central Ural Mountains, the copper mines in the south, or the copper mines in the Kutsbas region, the transportation is not very convenient.

Even if it is developed, it will be three or five years later.

During this period, it was natural to build roads to these mountainous areas with poor transportation in order to transport the rich mineral resources out.

If you add the upfront investment, I am afraid that it will take ten years to pay back.

As for human resources, these bankers did not pay attention, because the manpower of the Rus' country was extremely cheap, even negligible.

Now they have to think about what price Lopunov wants to auction off these minerals, and how much profit they can make in the next two decades.

But Jews such as Moses the Great were not.

Of all the mineral resources that Lopunov just mentioned, only one was for them Jewish bankers, and that was the timber resources of Western Siberia.

As for the lucrative iron ore, copper ore and coal, they are not qualified to compete.

Even if Lopunov asked them to participate in the competition, after the filming, once the money was transferred to the Rus' country, they were still worried that the Rus' country would refuse to admit it at that time.

As for the timber resources of Western Siberia, they are actually dispensable.

In this era, which country and region needs a large amount of high-quality wood?

The timber of Western Siberia is indeed excellent, but Europe is different from the Great Zhou.

The buildings of the Great Zhou are mainly made of wood, like the high-quality wood of Siberia, if it is transported to the Great Zhou, maybe it can really make a small profit.

Provided, of course, that the road is not that far.

However, the buildings in Europe are mainly brick and stone, and the land in European countries is not bad, and there is no shortage of wood in the country.

This means that the timber business in Western Siberia is a ten-story loss-making business.

If you add the freight to and fro, it is really a business with no return, and who wants to do it?

But Moses, a Jewish-born banker, had to participate in such an auction to act as a wronged boss and a clown in the eyes of everyone......
