Chapter 181: On Bankers' Responsibilities
The bankers present though for President Jérôme. Bonaparte's imposition of imposition was not pleased, but no one wanted to make the uncrowned king of France angry in front of him.
Especially at this juncture, although they control the financial lifeblood of the country, and are called the uncrowned kings in the Paris newspapers, their power is too fragile compared with those who really hold the power, and all their threats are just a chain reaction caused by the sale of stocks in the securities market, which will put a regime at risk of turmoil, and they dare not guarantee that their lives will survive before the regime is turbulent.
If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if the people are gone, everything will be empty.
None of the old foxes present spoke out in agreement or against Jérôme. Bonaparte, they waited for a "bird" to help them test the president's bottom line.
As the minutes ticked by, the old foxes waited quietly for someone to happen.
"Mr. President, of course, we are willing to contribute our part to the cause of France's national defense, but ...... "This is a fellow Jérôme. Bonaparte's young man, about the same age, could not help but speak.
This is James. Rothschild's eldest son, Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild, who was also the successor of the French branch of the Rothschild family.
Since the older generation has not yet passed away, a new generation of young talents has taken to the stage for the first time (Leonel. Rothschild), the helm of the Rothschild Bank is still James. Rothschild, wait until James. After the death of Rothschild's mother, Leonel gathered strength. Rothschild only proposed to split the family, and James Murphy proposed to split up. Rothschild would be completely transformed from an international bank to a semi-regional bank.
Born in 1827, Alphons. Morality. Rothschild was born in the "heyday" of the Rothschild family. Morality. Rothschild himself was only a 22-year-old, which made him less cautious and more impulsive than the old foxes present.
If it weren't for his father, James. Rothschild itself has been in decline, and in order to prevent the French branch of Rothschild Bank from being left without a successor, James . Rothschild was interested in getting Alphonse . Morality. If Rothschild had gradually taken over the family affairs, he would never have had a chance to attend the ball.
His personality is not calm enough, and he has become a rising bird in the expectations of all the old foxes.
"But what?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Alphonse with a smile on his face. Morality. Rothschild, from Jérôme. In Bonaparte's words, Alphonse did not feel Jérôme. Bonaparte's hostility.
"But Mr. President, you have to give a specific amount!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild also found himself impulsive, and he could only be cautious about Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.
"How much?" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed a finger deep into the depths and said to everyone present: "How about ten million francs?" ”
Hiss!
The vast majority of bankers couldn't help but gasp when they heard this number.
10 million francs is not too much for them, and there is always a squeeze, not to mention that the money is not a share of the family, but is divided equally among the major bankers.
But the bankers present subconsciously will be Jérôme. Bonaparte was a passer-by in the presidency.
Suppose they bear Jerome. Bonaparte's so-called 10 million francs of funds, then in Jérôme. I am afraid that the presidents after Bonaparte will also learn the same way.
If every session is like Jérôme. Like Bonaparte, their bankers are about to turn into government ATMs.
It's not the bank's job to send money to the president!
"Your Excellency the President, I'm afraid this won't work!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild politely declined Jérôme. Bonaparte's proposal: "I think you know, our family has a lot of investment projects, and we don't have a lot of money on hand, let alone 10 million francs, even 1 million francs!" ”
Are you kidding! At that time, their Rothschild family started from the antique business, from the bottom (forced to be true), in order to survive, they had to work for politicians, and they had to be blackmailed by politicians, this is not just kneeling for food, such a business Rothschild family will never do.
"I've heard that the Rothschilds are sitting on a mountain of gold!" Jérôme. Bonaparte still smiled at Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild teased, and in his heart he longed to let Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild gets a taste of what a French prison is.
Damn, is there any country that is more tolerant of bankers than our country?
There is no country, where are these bankers from them!
Now the president has something to do, but one by one he stands by and watches, not knowing the return!
"We don't have a mountain of gold, the mountain of gold is theirs!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild quickly "clarified" Jérôme . Bonaparte said the rumors, he said with an innocent face: "Your Excellency, the bankers are vulnerable? We're just taking care of those users. Not only do you have to pay interest, but you also have to go to great lengths to ensure that their property and appreciation increase! Although we also love this country, we can't take the interests of our customers as the guide! ”
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild looked embarrassed, and in his mouth the bankers became vulnerable.
However, according to Jérôme. Bonaparte understood that most of the Austrian bonds circulating on the Paris Stock Exchange came from the so-called Alphonse who was thinking about his customers. Morality. Rothschild's bank.
It is well known that after the Napoleonic Wars, the credit of Austrian bonds was even inferior to a lump of waste paper in the toilet. Rothschild also dared to package him up and turn him into a so-called prudent bond.
Had it not been for the fact that in 1848, when the Austrian Empire relied on a powerful prime minister at home, and the Russian Empire abroad barely managed to keep the empire at risk of dismemberment, otherwise the Rothschild Bank in Austria would have gone bankrupt, and the Rothschild Bank in Paris would have suffered a heavy blow.
By that time, the Austrian bonds had been revealed, and the people who had deposited the money in the Rothschild Bank would probably become like some oil treasure and owe the Rothschild Bank a sum of money.
When it comes to passing on the crisis, Rothschild banks have always been too skilled to be more skilled.
"That's right, Your Excellency! We don't have a lot of liquidity either! ”
"That's right! Your Excellency the President, our bank will not be able to squeeze out the money either! ”
……
With Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild was in front of him, and the remaining banks seemed to have found the backbone, and they asked Jérôme. Bonaparte claimed that he had invested all his money, and that he could not squeeze out a single amount of money.
Of course, there are a few presidents of the Banque de France who are as stable as the Count of Tugogou and who support Jérôme. Bonaparte's would-be Bonapartist allies had nothing to offer, and they watched the crying performance of this group of colleagues with a playful attitude.
Finance Minister Achill. Fuld leaned in front of Mane, who was also an ally of the bankers, and muttered, "There's a good show!" ”
Manie showed a stunned expression, and then a chill passed through his spine and went straight into Mane's celestial spirit cover.
Your Excellency, you don't want to ......
As he spoke, Manie subconsciously glanced at the door, and through the gap in the door, Manie saw the figure outside the door, and he showed a frightened expression.
Ahir. Fuld patted Maneh on the shoulder and said "Calm down" with his lips.
Jérôme. Bonaparte put on an indifferent face and quietly listened to the banker's "cry".
It wasn't until the bankers noticed that His Excellency the President's expression didn't seem to have changed at all, that they realized something as well.
For a moment, the entire reception room fell silent.
"Say! Go on! I'm listening! "Jérôme. Bonaparte sneered, and he glanced at all the bankers present and said, "I can hear that!" You all have a hard time! ”
The bankers were taken by Jérôme. Bonaparte was so frightened that he could not utter a word.
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild: yes! "Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to the "initiators" of everything.
Alphonse. Morality. Only then did Rothschild realize that he seemed to have provoked a very unreasonable person, and he could only respond stubbornly: "Yes! Your Excellency, President! ”
"As I understand it, you Rothschild banks invest the most in railway bonds! Why is there no money now! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him in a calm tone.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild is probably going to be unlucky, and the president is probably going to be overwhelmed next.
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild was shocked, he did not understand why His Excellency the President would know about their family.
Could it be that the president has been eyeing their family for a long time?
A sense of foreboding poured into Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild's heart, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and subconsciously peeked at the door.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out of this gate today!
"It is precisely because we support His Excellency the President's policy of building railways that we ...... Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild hurriedly remedied: "Our family is willing to serve the French defense policy!" ”
"No need! Alphonse. Morality. Mr. Rothschild! "Jérôme. Bonaparte coldly interrupted Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild's justification: "There is no need for me, the president, to be on the opposite side of the French people!" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's words sent chills down the hearts of all the bankers, who were also aware that things seemed to be moving in a bad direction.
Jérôme. Bonaparte clapped his hands gently, and under the frightened gaze of the banker, the Paris police commissioner Carrier led several policemen to cooperate with the Minister of Justice Ruet.
