Chapter 179: The Rothschilds
In the 19th century, there were six major powers in Europe, the British Empire, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, and Russia...... There is also the Rothschilds, who also have another prominent nickname, the "Sixth Empire" in Europe.
This is an ancient and mysterious family, a financial group that has controlled the lifeblood of the global economy for more than 200 years, and the earliest planner and implementer of the "currency war".
Some saw him as a symbol of Jewish wisdom, wealth, influence, and philanthropy; Others regard him as the first living example of the Jewish corporation's conquest of the world with money.
Rothschild, a family of almost terrifying glory, has been hiding in the back of this world in a low-key manner...... Around 1850, the Rothschilds had amassed a total fortune equivalent to $6 billion at the time. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Rothschilds controlled an estimated half of the world's wealth. At a rate of return of 6%, today, more than 150 years later, their family's assets are at least more than $50 trillion. In other words, the family did not have $50 trillion at that time, only $6 billion in wealth, but the relative value of $6 billion more than 100 years ago is definitely more than the $50 trillion it is now.
China's GDP in 2010 was 5.88 trillion US dollars, that is, the wealth of the Rothschild family is the total GDP of a superpower with a population of 1.3 billion people for nearly ten years, and the total tax value for fifty years.
During World War II, the Rothschilds once controlled the entire United States, but later because the Rothschilds believed that the American economy would not grow greatly, they gradually withdrew from the United States, and even withdrew their banks in the United States. This was a fatal mistake that led directly to the rise of the Morgan family. But the real reason for this is estimated to be known only to the core members of this mysterious family.
In the sixties of the twentieth century, the Rothschilds began to decline, or rather to become more and more low-key, although the family was never too low-key. Before the end of the world, the Rothschilds were ostensibly just an investment bank with a market value of more than $30 billion.
But is it possible for a family, once owned half of the world's wealth, to decline to such a point? Many people believe that this family has not only not declined, but has grown stronger, and some even analyze that there is a shadow of this family behind the financial crisis in the United States.
In front of the Rothschilds, the richest people on the Forbes list are really just a small fight.
Now, in front of Du Fei is a relic left by the heir of the Rothschild family before his death.
Thirty years ago, that is, the generation when this mysterious family began to decline, so why was the first heir of this mysterious family hunted down? How did you escape to Huaxia, which was somewhat isolated at that time?
What's even more curious is, what exactly is in this box? Is this box the reason for the death of the heir to the Rothschilds?
Money in the box? Just kidding, for a family that can buy a country, can you carry it like this? Gold is more expensive than money, and it is unlikely to be gold. Even a box of diamonds is not worth carrying with the heir of a large family.
"What's in there?" Du Fei swallowed his saliva, he really couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"I can give this to you." Zhao Guodong stared at Du Fei's eyes and said slowly.
Du Fei swallowed another mouthful of saliva, if he knew what was in the box, Du Fei might not have reacted so much, it was because he didn't know that he was so curious about the things in the box, and he would have such a great possessiveness.
Du Fei didn't answer, and quietly waited for Zhao Guodong to finish speaking.
"However, I need you to promise me one condition, if you take this thing, and it really works for you, please take care of my daughter. If you don't need it that day, please pass it on to my grandson, if I still have one. After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.
Du Fei thought about it, as if there was no loss to him in this condition, so he agreed: "Within the scope of my ability, I can agree to this condition." Can you tell me what's in the box now? ”
"It's a piece of iron." Zhao Guodong said.
"Iron pieces?" Du Fei was surprised again, if it was metal, even through the box, Du Fei could feel it, but now he couldn't feel the existence of a little metal in the box at all.
"Yes, it's like a halberd blade broken by Fang Tian's halberd, you better see it for yourself." Zhao Guodong opened the box with the key, and then pushed it in front of Du Fei.
Du Fei moved the box and glanced at Zhao Guodong again, and then slowly opened the box.
There was no light, no sound, it was calm, and the box was opened. Inside was a severed halberd blade, more than twenty centimeters long, three fingers wide, with a smooth surface, which looked no different from ordinary steel cold weapons.
Such a tattered but painstakingly locked in a delicate-looking box looks very strange.
Zhao Guodong seemed to see Du Fei's suspicions, and explained: "Under the microscope, this piece of iron is no different from ordinary steel, but its hardness is far more than any metal, and even far more than diamond. Even the lab couldn't even remove a small piece of debris to do the experiment. ”
Zhao Guodong paused, and then continued: "According to the appraisal results, the history of this halberd blade is no more than ten years, but it has been stored in Jinling for thirty years. A few months ago, another appraisal was conducted, and the result was that the iron piece was no more than ten years old. ”
"And all the corrosive substances that humans have have no effect on this thing, and they are not deformed at a temperature of 5,000 degrees." Zhao Guodong is like a magic stick, saying something that seems impossible.
Du Fei didn't fully believe Zhao Guodong's words, but he had his own test method, so he wrapped the halberd blade with the handkerchief handed over by Zhao Guodong and picked it up.
Du Fei stretched out his finger unbelievingly, and gently touched the iron piece, and when his finger touched the halberd blade, he finally felt it.
This feeling is like touching a piece of metal the size of a land, and my own source power is not enough to control it in the face of such a huge metal.
But it's obviously a small piece of metal, but it feels like a metal mountain, and it is extremely difficult to change the shape with the source ability, and it can't be controlled at all.
Regardless of whether what Zhao Guodong said is true or not, based on this alone, Du Fei can be sure that this piece of metal is not simple.
"What is the origin of this piece of metal?" Du Fei asked.
