Zhuge for a long time to see this James. Rothschild is the founder of the famous, but at the same time mysterious, Rothschilds. Rothschild's son, one of the famous Rothschild Five, was in charge of the Rothschild family's business in France.

However, Zhuge wanted to meet him for a long time, not just to contact the Rothschilds, but to connect with the Jewish financial consortium that the Rothschilds could contact.

The Rothschilds are just one of them, perhaps not the richest, but rather high-profile. And the Rothschild Five operate in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples and Paris, so they have connections to Jewish giants all over Europe.

In fact, the most proud Jewish family in Europe today was originally a group of people, the so-called Ashkenazi Jews...... It's the "Deyu" that a mustache hates the most!

Historically, there were three main branches of the Jews. One of them is the "Deju", who are Jews who follow a group of Germanic feudal lords - the feudal lords always need profiteers to help them manage their finances and purchases, and they are also equivalent to royal merchants, and the upper class of "Deju" is the royal merchant and white glove of the Germanic feudal lords. Because the Germanic feudal lords were braver and expanded everywhere, not only with swords, but also liked to expand in bed. So their royal merchants and white gloves also expanded their business everywhere and made a lot of money. A considerable number of them have escaped control after the weakening of their masters (in fact, capital has betrayed the monarch) and become big names in the European financial markets.

For example, the Rothschilds, Oppenheimer, Warburg, Guggenheim, Mendelssohn, Lehman, Freund, Forder, Goldschmidt, and so on were all such Ashkenazi Jews.

In addition to them, there are two main branches of Jews in the world, one is the Sephardic Jews, that is, the Spanish Jews. They were sacked and expelled by the Spanish feudal knights who had completed the reconquest, so they could not compare their wealth with the Jews of Ashkenazi, but the Sephardic Jews who had fled to Holland and Venice also had some money.

The third branch of the Jews was the Eastern Jews, that is, the Jews who lived in the territory of the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. Before the Great Discoveries, they were the richest of the three groups of Jews and the most populous because they had received a lot of oil and water from the trade between the East and the West. But after the great geographical discovery, it went downhill, but the Sassoon family and the Kadoorie family still emerged, and the Jewish tycoons who went to India to hook up with the British colonizers and then made their fortunes.

In general, in this changed timeline, the royal merchants who were the Germanic magnates and the Jewish tycoons with white gloves still developed quite well. And they also regard the United Kingdom, where capital has a great right to speak, as their nest for hiding money...... In the view of Zhuge Weijiu, a big man who can control the development route of Ming capitalism through the family industry association of the Zhuge family and the "golden fingers" of Zhuge military advisors, in order to truly defeat Britain, it is necessary to force the Jewish financial capital standing behind the British Empire to leave Britain and go to France, where the royal power is relatively strong.

As long as these Jewish capitalists, who have money, manage money, and control the financial markets, betray Britain, the pound will collapse and the British government will lose its almost endless financing capacity...... This is fatal for the UK!

Because Britain is different from the Ming Dynasty, Britain has a relatively limited population and resources because of its small territory, so it is impossible for her to establish a large and complete industrial system like the Ming Dynasty. The British industrial system is actually part of the European (Western and Central European) industrial system...... Certainly the most valuable part.

In any case, Britain's industrial system is incomplete, and it must have a strong financial system to allocate resources and control the supporting industrial system. Once this financial system collapses, Britain's crippled industrial system will no longer be able to sustain the war – not a little, but forty or fifty percent or more!

If Britain does not have the means to buy the supporting parts from other countries through the currency created by the financial markets, then its defeat is just around the corner.

And if France can take over the British financial system after the war, let the golden franc replace the British pound as the base currency of the Western world, and make the financial market in Paris the center of Western capital...... Then the Anglo-Saxon revival would be impossible.

......

James. Rothschild is the eldest of the Rothschild Five, only 37 years old this year, but since the bond crisis that nearly collapsed the regime of Louis XVII a decade ago, he has been the true master of the French financial industry and a guest of honor at the court of Versailles.

But James. Rothschild also knew that although he joined forces with a European Jewish banker to short the French debt, he did not have the ability to really collapse Louis XVII's finances, and only scared Louis XVII.

Because Louis XVII had a father behind him...... Compared with the wealth owned by the Zhuge family, Rothschild is not worth mentioning! Even the total net worth of Jewish bankers throughout Europe is not comparable to that of the Zhuge family, a family of "geniuses".

Fortunately, the Zhuge family is different from the Jewish banking families in Europe, the Zhuge family is "capital has a motherland", while the Jewish family in Europe is "capital without a motherland".

The Jewish families in Europe could move freely in Europe and even in the West, and although they were less loyal, they were not easily suspected by the rulers of various countries of being agents of a foreign country. But the Zhuge family itself is the actual "monarch", so their capital is also the actual national capital, and they have a clear nationality.

In addition, the Zhuge family does not belong to the white skin Christian (Judaic) civilization circle, they are a super family in the Eastern Confucian (Taoist) civilization circle. They can certainly call for wind and rain on their own territory, but once they enter the circle of Western countries, they will immediately be targeted!

Therefore, the Zhuge family's business in Europe can only be very restrained, and it has to hide itself behind the Bourbon and Romanov dynasties...... But their size and background are there, and no matter how much they are hidden, they cannot be the same as the Jewish families in Europe.

"Luo Wu, we haven't seen each other in a few years...... The last time we met, it was when Napoleon fell, and you were only in your 20s, and it has been more than ten years! ”

In the Grand Aritnon Palace, James is calling for wind and rain in the French financial market. Rothschild was now like a schoolboy listening to his homeroom teacher, with his legs together, his knees tucked, and he sat obediently in a chair, and deliberately sat only half of his ass...... This attitude will only be taken out when you have seen Zhuge for a long time.

"Lord Wang, you still remember the juniors, you really flattered the juniors, do you have any teachings for inviting the juniors over today?" James. Rothschild spoke fluent Chinese - the Luo family and the five tigers all spoke Chinese, and when they dealt with Ming officials and businessmen, they always used the Chinese surname "Luo" instead of Rothschild.

James. Rothschild also has a Chinese name called Luo Zhan Wu, and Zhuge Weijiu directly calls him "Luo Wu".

Hearing that "Luo Wu" got straight to the point and asked about business, Zhuge Weijiu no longer greeted, but said with a smile: "I'm already old, and I don't care about family affairs...... I want the Duke of Marseille to take you on a trip to Shanghai. On behalf of your Luo family and other Jewish families, you go to meet our Zhuge family's eighteenth military division, Zhuge Weidao! It's Natalie. Grand Duchess Pavrovna was the husband. In the future, the liaison between our Zhuge family and the European side will be taken over by him. What's there, he'll talk to you. ”

"Lord Wang," James. Rothschild asked, "Then can you give the younger generation a little more depth?" What do the younger generations talk about when they go to Shanghai? ”

Zhuge weijiu smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" Of course, we talked about the possibility and price of betraying the British Empire! ”
