Chapter XXVIII

"May our unbreakable friendship last forever!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately raised his glass to Leonel. Rothschild sent out an invitation.

"For friendship!" Leonel. Rothschild also raised his glass with a false smile, he didn't know if it was worth spending 500,000 francs to buy a slim future, but now he invested in one more person to upset his uncle's hope.

500,000 francs to Leonel. Rothschild was not a big expense, even if the Rothschilds did lose some money in the revolution, but he was convinced that as long as they survived this crisis, the money lost by the family would soon return to their arms, and those who tried to run Rothschild out and bankrupt him would pay a heavy price.

"Your Excellency, I said in advance that 500,000 francs can only be used as funds for your campaign, and once I find out that you are using this money to do something unrelated to your campaign! I have the right to freeze all your funds! "Leonel. Rothschild saluted first and then marched.

According to his knowledge of the Bonaparte, if he did not impose restrictions on the use of this investment, the funds would soon be given to his subordinates by the Bonaparte family, and the generous Bonaparte would never mind offering flowers to the Buddha in exchange for the loyalty of his subordinates, and he had no interest in being generous to others.

At the same time Leonel. Rothschild had to admit that this was the only means by which the Bonaparte family could win the hearts and minds of the people, and even the most loyal subordinates could be betrayed if they did not have enough money to nourish them.

Leonel. Rothschild was convinced that so-called loyalty was nothing more than a bargaining chip for betrayal.

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte smirked, his careful thinking was clearly seen through by the guy in front of him.

However, as a politician who is about to hold an election, the face is not so important at times.

"Baron Leonel, I think we can choose a more in-depth cooperation!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to cheekily speak to Leonel and Rothschild: "I think the position of Minister of Finance is suitable for people who have the ability and means to do it, especially people like you!" ”

Despite the fact that Leonel. Rothschild knew Jérôme . Bonaparte was just making empty promises, but he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.

The position of the French Minister of Finance is one of the best in the whole of France and even in the whole of Europe.

If he can achieve the position of finance minister, he can use the power in his hands for the benefit of the Rothschilds, and the Rothschilds' fortune may be doubled.

Of course, Leonel . Rothschild only thought for a few seconds, as the "world bankers", the Rothschild family is not limited to France to do business, too much involvement in the politics of one country will only cause resentment in their own country and other countries.

For a world banker with a sense of "responsibility", this is absolutely unacceptable.

"I'm not interested in the position of Minister of Finance!" Leonel. Rothschild decisively rejected Jérôme. The "olive branch" handed over by Bonaparte.

"That's a shame!" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked regretful, and it seemed that he could not get the patron to continue voting.

"However, I can lend you another 1 million in my private name at an interest rate of one and a half cents!" Leonel. Rothschild continued.

"My God, Your Excellency! You're a vampire! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke in an exaggerated tone to Leonel. Rothschild said: "For a five-cent interest, you might as well let me jump into the water of the Thames!" ”

One cent and five per cent a month, which is 18% interest for a year, which means that Jérôme. If Bonaparte had not been elected, he would have had to consider jumping straight from the very top of Paris.

Sometimes debt is more terrible than death!

"Your Excellency, the only thing that can lend you 1 million francs in Europe today is the Rothschild Bank!" Leonel. Rothschild said strongly: "Besides, as long as you sit on the throne of France!" Can the Rothschilds still ask you for it? ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to ponder for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said, "Good! I promise you terms! ”

"Wise choice!" Leonel. Rothschild said with a smile.

However, the next second Jérôme's conditions made Leonel. Rothschild couldn't laugh.

"However, I ask to use the notes issued by the Bank of England, and the credibility of the Bank of France is on the verge of bankruptcy!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said helplessly, "Perhaps, I'm going to take over a tricky mess." ”

"The French government is already actively mobilizing!" Leonel. Rothschild's hopes of drawing on the Banque de France were dashed.

"Oh God! Their so-called regulation is to use an executive order to force France to stop converting, which will only damage France's credibility! "Jérôme. Bonaparte responded exaggeratedly.

In fact, the Banque de France did not stop converting for a long time, but the high discount rate that had existed before that time could not continue for a long time, and the index bonds also faced the problem of depreciation during this period.

Leonel wants him to take over a depreciated note, which is simply wishful thinking.

"Bank of England, of course!" Seeing that it is impossible to fool Jérôme. Leonel of Bonaparte. Rothschild could only extinguish the little ninety-nine in his heart.

In the midst of a "laugh and laughter", Jerome. Bonaparte and Leonel. Rothschild made an indescribable deal.

However, both of them have a little regret in their hearts.

If the other party can be a little stupid, I am afraid that this transaction will go more smoothly.

Jérôme who did it all. Bonaparte was finally able to manage his cousin's funeral with peace of mind, and what happened on this day was more difficult for Jérôme than it had happened in a month or even a year before him. Bonaparte was tired.

The time came a little to May 2nd, and the morning was sunny, so it was good to go out and travel.

On this sunny morning, an article entitled "From Bonaparte to Bonaparte, a Review of Louis. The Life of Napoleon" article appeared in the "Times", and it was like a thunderstorm that swept through the entire London press and public opinion circles, and directly blew up the originally undercurrent of London.
