Chapter 318: Marriage and Family
"As far as I know, the attitude of the Northeast towards foreign investment is very clear, that is, it is very open in the field of openness, and it is particularly conservative in the conservative aspect, and the most conservative of them is in the financial field. Without the approval of the relevant departments of the autonomous regional government, or if it meets the standards set by them, not to mention foreign investment, even the domestic financial industry will not be able to establish any finance-related enterprises. This includes not only banks, securities companies, fund companies and insurance companies, but also pawnshops and small loan companies. ”
The main reason why Wang Yi called for such a strict financial policy was to maintain the financial stability of the Northeast Autonomous Region. He has seen a lot of financial turmoil in later generations, and he has read a lot of relevant materials, perhaps related to his slightly conservative personality, he has never believed that the so-called innovation should be applied in the financial field. Both subordinated debt and credit cards are, in his view, unscrupulous tactics used to encourage excessive consumption. Unless there is a communist society in this world, where distribution is based on need, it will not be possible to completely eradicate poverty. Encouraging the poor to overspend, and to advance their already modest income, is to ruin their future.
At present, the Northeast Autonomous Region is in a period of development, and the financial laws and regulations are not perfect, even if Wang Yi provides the most detailed laws and regulations, but the training and practice of legal enforcers and financial practitioners also requires a lot of time. Therefore, it is also a normal choice to grasp the financial industry during this period.
After listening to his brother's words, Alphonse pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, we don't have to open a bank in the Northeast, just open an investment company." Now there are a lot of small businesses in the Northeast, or people who are ready to start a small business, we can look for some promising projects from them and invest in shares. Wang Yi, why did this come from? ”
"Incubator." "It's a good idea, Wang Yi is very clear, he only wants foreign investors like us to use the money for industrial investment in the Northeast Autonomous Region," Gustave reminded. In that case, it's a good choice for us to go with the flow. ”
"If we can reach a closer relationship with Wang Yi, our investment may be more secure. It would be nice to be able to effectively collect relevant information about Tohoku......"
After all, Alphonse and the others still have to return to Europe, they are French after all, and it is not a matter for them to be in the northeast.
"My father said that if you want to find something, you have to go under the bed or ...... It's in bed. Gustave laughed, clearly he meant something.
"Father? Did that old stubborn ever say something like that? Alphonse joked.
Alphonse's father, James, was the most authoritarian of the second generation of the Rothschild family. Not to mention those managers who work for the bank, even their own sons are the same, stern, stubborn, and do not give up even the slightest bit of power, especially for their eldest son Alphonse, which can be described as unreasonable. Therefore, Alphonse is also the most rebellious of James's sons, and he rarely has a good opinion of his father in private. Although this is somewhat unusual in the Rothschilds, who have always been known for their unity, it is also human. Even though James has been dead for many years, Alphonse still can't let go.
"You mean ......?" Alphonse asked at this point
"It's better to have some relationship, kinship."
"Could it be that you want to marry the girl in the family to Wang Yi?"
Gustave shook his head and said, "This is impossible, he already has many wives." We are Jews, which does not correspond to our religion and customs. ”
For the Rothschilds at this time, marrying pagans was not so unacceptable in itself, and several women in the fourth generation of the family were already married to many non-Jews. Of course, these people were either rich or noble, and their status was either the son of an earl or an earl, and many of them were rising political stars in their country. This kind of marriage is an important means for the Rothschild family to win allies for its own development. The only thing worthy of admiration is that the elders in the family generally do not force their girls to marry people they don't like, and most of the people they marry have a certain emotional foundation. However, this does not mean that the Rothschilds can accept polygamous marriage, nor can they marry their daughters.
"Although Wang Yi can't, he has many young people who have not yet been married, as far as I know, including Wu Xiao, the former chief of staff of the Northeast Insurance Team and the current commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater of the Northeast Insurance Team, Ding Xiaoyu, the president of the Shanghai branch of Dashang Bank, and so on, there are many such candidates."
"If so, it's not unacceptable, Helen is now of marriageable age in the family." Alphonse thought back to the girl in her family, your age.
"Helen?" Gustave raised his head, his eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head again, and said, "No, I heard that this child is already engaged to the Dutch Baron Etienne von Ulin de Nivelt, and the marriage will be later this year." Now we are going to stop this marriage, Adler will not agree. ”
"What you said also makes sense, Helen is Salomon's daughter, and now Salomon is gone, and the only one who can intervene in this marriage is the girl's mother, Adler. However, I heard that our brother-in-law did not like her daughter to marry a heathen, and even this year she had stripped Helen of her inheritance in the family, preferring to leave her house on Barrell Street to the government's Arts Authority. ”
"Wouldn't we have all the more reason to stop this marriage?" Gustave smiled.
"It can't be! Adela considered her daughter to be the most desirable marriage partner...... In fact, all our relatives think so, that if not intermarriage within the family, at least look for it among the co-religions, and that the ideal partner is, of course, a well-born Jewish lad. However, this also has to be compared, although marrying Adlerby hopes that Helen will marry Baron Adler, but let Helen marry far away from the Northeast Autonomous Region, and marry a Qing man. I'm afraid that unless someone like us has been to the Northeast, no one in the family will agree to this proposal. And Adler will not agree, it is likely that she will never see her daughter again in this life. ”
Although Rothschilds girls can now marry non-Jews without being criticized by their aunts and grandmothers, it is not without the cost of losing the Rothschilds' inheritance.
Gustave thought for a moment and said, "This is a tricky question, but it is said that most of these officials trained by Wang Yi are atheists, compared to Catholics. Don't you think they're a better fit, my big brother? ”
At a time when the two Rothschilds are trying to get closer to the Northeast, a more important meeting is taking place in the Northeast. However, as the critics had initially predicted, the meeting on relations between East and Russia had reached an impasse after only half a day.
