Chapter 27 The First Angel Investor
"Nope! Not the whole Rothschilds! ”
Leonel. Rothschild smiled and shook his head, adding in a bland tone: "It's me, Leonel . Rothschild wants to make a private investment in you, Your Excellency! It's just the two of us! ”
Leonel. Rothschild deliberately accentuated the phrase "we are", as if he was deliberately reminding Jérôme. Bonaparte's investment was not backed by the French branch.
"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte was keenly aware of Leonel. Rothschild had something to say, and he (Jérôme) looked at him (Leonel) with interest and drew an intriguing smile on his face, with a hint of joke in his tone: "Isn't it me who the Rothschilds like?" ”
Leonel. Rothschild shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said with a helpless expression: "To be honest, Uncle James in France doesn't like you (referring to the Bonaparte family)!" To this day, he still fantasizes about the day when the Bourbon branch will be able to return to the throne! ”
[James. Rothschild, the second generation of the Rothschild family, Nathan. After Rothschild's death, the core of the power of the entire Rothschild family was in the hands of James. In the hands of Rothschild, 1856 Hannah. Rothschild, also known as Nathan. After the death of Rothschild's wife, Rothschild split up his business in Europe. Leonel. Rothschild's father was Nathan. Rothschild. 】
Speaking of James. Rothschild's Leonel. A grim smile appeared at the corner of Rothschild's mouth: "My uncle is old!" How did he know about Louis, who was abandoned by the Parisian mob. Philip will never come back! ”
Then, after a pause, as if talking to himself, he continued, "No, he should know that!" It's just that I don't want to face it! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Leonel quietly. Rothschild's "solo performance" from Leonel. Rothschild's words and eyes can be seen that Leonel. Rothschild with his uncle James. Rothschild's relationship does not seem to be so harmonious, and it has a feeling of "uncle, nephew and filial piety", unlike some later generations who forcibly fabricated the unity of the Rothschild family in order to advocate foreign countries.
Jérôme. Bonaparte could certainly understand Leonel. Rothschild's mood, if a family is not united by internal fighting, it is really a miracle in the world, especially a family like this that has a huge amount of capital.
The core of family infighting is to compete with each other, not to dismantle each other, and a qualified family will control the infighting within a basic limit, and cannot make the family collapse in the infighting.
Jérôme, from the perspective of later generations, agreed that there should be limited internal competition, and that competition without a bottom line must be banned.
"So you want to prove to your uncle that you have a vision?" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Leonel. Rothschild asked.
"That's right!" Leonel. Rothschild nodded in agreement with Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, he clenched his fists and tapped lightly on the table, and said with a slightly hideous expression: "The old people should obediently hide at home and live for a long time, why come out and compete for the position with the young people!" The Rothschild family's business philosophy and philosophy must be reformed! ”
Historically, you don't seem to have replaced your uncle James. Rothschild.
Jérôme. Bonaparte complained silently in his heart.
From James. After Rothschild took over as head of the Rothschilds, he remained the de facto owner of the Rothschilds' bank until his death in 1868.
Leonel. Rothschild's "rebellion" was clearly a failure.
However, Leonel. Rothschild's leadership in Britain was not lost by "rebellion", and from this point of view the guy still has two brushes.
Jérôme. Bonaparte was not optimistic about Leonel. Rothschild's "rebellious" behavior this time, but it did not prevent him from working with Leonel. Rothschild's cooperation, he will only work with the winners.
Whoever wins, he helps!
Of course, there is still a little caution in Jérôme's heart, in case the uncle and nephew really fight with firepower, a huge Rothschild financial empire may really be killed in the third generation.
"Alright! I agree with you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte verbally repeated Leonel's statement: "The old man should obediently lie at home and live his old age!" ”
"We are unanimous!" Leonel. Rothschild took another sip of wine, and his expression seemed a little excited under the urging of alcohol: "I heard that you are going to have an election, so I will fund you!" ”
Leonel. Rothschild held up 4 fingers and shook them back and forth.
"Four million francs?" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately asked.
"Poof!" Leonel. Rothschild choked on Jérôme's answer, cleared his throat and explained euphemistically: "Your Excellency, you really like to joke! I'm talking about 400,000 francs! ”
"400,000 francs!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression changed from joy to loss.
For an ordinary family, 400,000 francs is obviously an astronomical amount, enough for a family to live on an annuity without eating or drinking, and of course these are premised on the absence of unrest, because every unrest will put a group of rentier fellows in danger of bankruptcy.
For Jérôme, 400,000 francs for president is obviously a bit of a constraint, and it may cost a lot of money just to publicize it in the early stage, let alone hire people to wave the flag.
What an insatiable guy! Just like his cousin!
Leonel. Rothschild also cursed Jérôme in his heart, and said with a sad look on his face: "Please forgive me, Rothschild can only use so much money!" This revolution has cost us a lot! ”
I believe you're a ghost!
Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that the revolution of 1848 had indeed beaten Rothschild, but as for the fact that so much money could only be used, Jérôme could only express his gratitude.
"I understand the situation of the Rothschilds! After all, with such a large sum of money, there is no power to defend itself! It's easy to be attacked by criminals, and now France is too irritable! Jérôme had a serious face, but he said the most vicious words.
Leonel. Rothschild's face showed a hint of anger, and he raised a finger again: "500,000 francs, this is the largest cash Rothschild can use!" ”
