When Wang Yi met the Rothschild family for the first time, he naturally would not discuss too many important matters, but holding a dinner in Ningdao itself had already given the Rothschild family enough face, after all, under normal circumstances, not to mention foreigners, even high-ranking officials of the Northeast Autonomous Region would not have the opportunity to come, let alone hold a grand dinner. Alphonse and Gustave also knew this.

The topic of the dinner Wang Yi will not be too strict, and wine is the best choice to bring the two sides closer. And it turned out that although the efforts to ease relations between the Northeast Autonomous Region and France did not receive a response from Wang Yi, the men and women of the Rothschild family still made a good impression of Ningdao.

Returning to the station that Wang Yi had arranged for the Rothschild family and his party in Ningdao, Alphonse and Gustave sat in the living room and talked about their feelings for Wang Yi and the people in the financial circles in Northeast China under the bright light.

"Although the relationship with us in France is not good, it does not prevent me from loving this place in the Northeast." Gustave stood by the bookshelf, flipping through the books on them, casually talking to his brother.

Alphonse sat on the couch, his eyes slightly closed. The surrounding qiē looks magnificent, with a kind of extravagance that is not ostentatious, but has a unique atmosphere. Understated luxury really stands out in this day and age. Wang Yi, who has been trained from the developed fashion information of later generations, does not dare to say how outstanding he is if he talks about taste, but he is by no means comparable to ordinary amateurs. Of course, the high-end women who haunted the high-end clubs in later generations also contributed a lot, and their strong demand for luxury goods did make Wang Yi, a stumbling man, have a lot of aesthetic improvements. At the very least, it will allow him to identify the correct logo, pronunciation and style of most luxury brands, after all, it is also a good topic to get closer to each other at the party.

"Ningdao is really good, big brother, you see, the books on these shelves are all written in French, and it seems that they are specially prepared for us...... Hehe, there is another sentence here, which is not bad, the details determine success or failure! ”

Hearing this, Alphonse got up from his seat, looked at his brother's book cover, and then turned to the window, looking out at the beautiful garden that had been created by the landscape lights to an almost fantastical effect.

"The Northeast is really good!"

"Perhaps...... The family has overlooked one important thing, and that is the rising Northeast Autonomous Region. If the so-called Great Qing Dynasty, the so-called motherland, is included, the area of the Northeast Autonomous Region is probably not below North America or South America. And the religious policy here is the so-called freedom of belief, whether it is true or not. But we Jews are quite friendly, which is very rare in Europe. ”

During this era, there were so-called anti-Jewish forces in Russia and Germany, while France and Britain were relatively relaxed. But even so, in the United Kingdom, the third generation of the Rothschild family, Leonel, became a member of the House of Commons, and the Queen of England did not make any secret of saying that he was an outsider. After all, when a member of the House of Commons took the oath, his subordinates were holding the Hebrew Old Testament, how different such a person was in England at that time. To put it more precisely, it is not to say that Jews want to become British aristocrats, but Catholics, in the religious environment of the time, if they want to enter the House of Lords, it is only a matter of mentioning. And the Jews became the English aristocracy but a vague little idea attached to this mentions, and it was even more difficult to implement than to ascend to heaven.

"My brother, you're right, I think we should really take some of the money out of our bank and invest in the Northeast."

Alphonse was talking about his own bank of Paribas, not the entire Rothschild family. It's a shame to say that although Meyer Sr. gave the money to his five sons to open banks in London, Vienna, Paris, Naples and Frankfurt, he did not foresee what would happen next.

Because the Rothschilds had a partnership system, the shares in the bank were divided almost equally among the five sons. Originally, there was nothing wrong with that, although banks in different regions were interrelated, they were actually doing their own thing, and did not affect their own decision-making and operations. Later, in the 1860s, the Bank of Naples collapsed for some reason, and the various branches of the family were still able to maintain a basic balance of shares. However, as time passed, the second and third generations of the Rothschild family died, and the shares in the bank began to be dispersed by inheritance. Later, after a period of personnel migration and equity transformation, several branches of the Rothschild family in Paris began to emerge, and their combined equity accounted for more than 70% of the entire family, which posed a very serious threat to the other branches of the family.

Neither London, nor Frankfurt, nor Vienna wanted such a scene to happen, so the internal conflicts within the family began to intensify due to the dispute over management rights arising from the shareholding, coupled with the subsequent Franco-Prussian War, and the various family branches began to withdraw their own deposits from the bank, unlike in the past, when the old Meyer and his sons were still alive, and only distributed dividends at the end of the year every year.

Of course, no matter how conflicted the Rothschild family is, the greatest advantage of this family is that it has not completely fallen apart, so that it does not get along with each other. However, from the perspective of Wang Yi, a descendant of the world, it is somewhat unreasonable, that is, intra-family marriage. No matter how beastly Wang Yi is, he will not attack his cousins, mainly because his cousins are really difficult to compliment. Of course, this is a joke. As a doctor, consanguineous marriage brings genetic problems, and although the probability of genetic diseases is not large, it is indeed much higher than that of non-consanguineous relatives.

However, in this regard, the Rothschilds are obviously lucky that they do not have the hemophilia of the British royal family. In the fourth generation, there were seventeen boys, five of whom died young, and twenty-seven girls. With a huge gap in the ratio of men and women, it is obviously unrealistic to maintain a marriage within the family. So from this generation onwards, girls are intermarried with foreign surnames.

Alphonse calculated, Gustave was right, and the development potential of the Northeast was even higher than Brazil, which claimed that God was Brazilian, and the United States, God blessed the United States. The huge territorial area represents an unimaginably rich resource. The wise political system represents the stability of national life. Coupled with a strong insurance team, it can give the people a stable and peaceful environment, and at the same time, it also means that the territory can be greatly increased.

So in addition to the fact that there are too few funds available in your hands, what are you worried about?
