Chapter XXVI: The Peace-Loving Rothschild
"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his expression gradually became solemn: "I have also heard about my cousin's loan from the Rothschild Bank!" ”
Is it finally a showdown? Friend or foe?
Jérôme. Bonaparte's body was slightly tense, his concentration was also highly concentrated, and he was ready to "fight" at any time, for fear of falling into a trap in the next "game".
Jérôme. The subtle change in Bonaparte's expression certainly did not escape the cunning Leonel. Rothschild's eyes.
A cautious prince who doesn't look easy to deal with!
Leonel. Rothschild silently commented on Jérôme in his heart, his face still had a professional smile on his face, and he comforted briskly: "Your Excellency, please don't worry, I'm not here to collect debts!" ”
Rothschild paused, and then said, "Besides, Cousin Ling's current collateral with me is actually enough for him to repay the loan he borrowed from Rothschild before!" ”
Leonel. Rothschild's "generosity" dismissed Louis. Napoleon's loan to the Rothschilds did not make Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart was also full of gratitude, but more so for Leonel. Rothschild's vigilance is that a shrewd banker will not be generous in forgiving the borrower's debts, they will only use their financial means to squeeze the last franc out of the borrower's pocket and bankrupt it.
Unless the borrower has a much greater value than the debt itself, lending a loan to someone of value and demand is what a good banker should do.
Just like why some banks in later generations will not easily lend to those small and medium-sized industrial companies, but will think of the law to lend to those real estate companies, even if the government repeatedly emphasizes not to pour hot money into the real estate market, there are still a large number of people who ignore the law and change the law to pour hot money into real estate through other channels.
It is not because the economic value of real estate is much more stable than other real industries, the demand for houses makes banks not worry about the situation that houses cannot be sold, and even when some real estate developers are about to go bankrupt, in order to prevent the shock caused by the bankruptcy of trillions of real estate, the government has to pinch its nose and introduce a stable policy to ensure that the market will not have a large-scale avalanche.
Such a superficial question even Jérôme. A layman like Bonaparte understands, Leonel. Rothschild will not fail to understand.
Now Jérôme. Bonaparte had to fight against Leonel. Rothschild Bank expressed "gratitude".
"Your Excellency, you should know the history of our Rothschilds!" Leonel. Rothschild threw bricks and led the way.
"Of course, the Rothschilds were as much a beneficiary of that revolution as the Bonapartes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"That's right! That revolution, what a great revolution! "Leonel. Rothschild said with a confused look in his eyes.
For the revolution that the aristocracy called a dark history, Leonel's heart was full of gratitude.
If it weren't for that revolution, my ancestors would have been an antique dealer for the rest of their lives.
It is only possible to marry a small German nobleman who is about to go bankrupt in his life, and the name of the next generation can have an extra Feng character.
I'm afraid that my generation can only work hard to squeeze the so-called upper class circle, which is like now I only need to hook my hand to receive countless olive branches from the upper class.
Although their purpose was only to borrow more money from the Rothschilds, at least he could enjoy the feeling of standing out from the crowd.
"Hmmm! The Great Revolution! "Jérôme as a beneficiary. Bonaparte echoed the same words.
"Of course, we have our Waterloo moments!" Leonel. Rothschild changed his words and said: "The Great Emperor's Battle of Waterloo has caused heavy losses to the family!" Since then, the family has begun to think about avoiding war as much as possible! ”
"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Leonel suspiciously. Rothschild, he suddenly remembered that the Rothschild family suffered heavy losses in Waterloo in a certain book, and the credibility of those later things was still relatively high.
So the Rothschilds are now ......
Jérôme. Bonaparte recalled the "history" of the Rothschilds.
"Your Excellency, don't look at me like that!" Leonel. Rothschild spread his hands and said: "Nowadays, no country is more peace-loving than Rothschild, and any country that suffers an attack on the Rothschild family will suffer heavy losses!" ”
Rothschild in the mid-19th century was different from the late 18th century in that it spread across most of Europe.
Once there is turmoil in Europe, it will inevitably affect their business in Europe, finance is strong and vulnerable, its strength lies in its ability to raise a huge amount of cash in a very short time to arm the army, its weakness lies in its lack of actual control of the army, and the dictator can take advantage of the war to rectify the illegal financiers, especially Jews like them.
Jérôme. Bonaparte's face twitched slightly, and it was ironic to be able to get four words of his love of peace from the mouth of a warmonger.
"So, Your Excellency the Baron wants to work with the Bonapartes?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked a question that had been brewing in his mind for a long time.
"Nope! No! No! "Leonel. Rothschild shook the spoon in his hand and said: "The Rothschild family will not openly side with any force, nor will it cooperate with any force!" We will only do our best to provide the best quality financial services to our customers! ”
Leonel. Rothschild deliberately accentuated his tone.
"In this way, you also cooperate with the current government of the Republic!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Leonel with a hint of ridicule. Rothschild said.
"Of course!" Leonel. Rothschild gritted his teeth with a hint of resentment in his eyes and said.
The family shouldn't have listened to their uncle (James. Rothschild) gave the opinion to those rebels, and now the group of guys came up, but the family lost a lot. [Note 1]
"Trust me, your investment will not disappoint Rothschild!"
PS: 1. After the February Revolution, there was a large number of bank runs in France, and Rothschild Bank, as the first bank in this run, lost a lot of cash, and it was not until the reacting Republic government issued a decree ordering banks not to exchange, and Rothschild's branch in France did not stop the loss.
