For Jérôme. For Bonaparte, who would want to let others share the gold with him if he could mine it independently and transport it back.

Since the United States of America was still in its infancy, local protectionism was entrenched. It was difficult for Bonaparte to ship the gold out without using official force.

The use of official force would inevitably provoke a strong rejection of the United States of America itself.

The reason for this is that the California region was the spoils of last year's Mexican-American War. Once mining is carried out in an official capacity, it will inevitably make local politicians in the United States think that France will be a-stirring stick again, as before, which will be even more detrimental to the plundering of capital.

[From 1846 to 1849, the French fleet intervened in the Argentine Civil War, and before that, it fought in the Central and South Pacific against what is now French Bolina.] If Great Britain is the first-stirring stick, France can be rated as the second-stirring stick. 】

"Pure" capital must be allowed to enter California, Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered the Count of Argour and them.

"Your Majesty, have you really found gold in California?"

Count Argour asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte, realizing the offense, hastened to add: "I don't mean to question you, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by some irresponsible survey team!" I've heard of a lot of scammer survey teams who ask their employers for follow-up start-up funds under the guise of mining gold, and then when the employer can't get enough money for the follow-up mining of minerals, these survey teams disappear in the blink of an eye! ”

"They don't dare!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sneered, as if to say to himself: "I don't mind sending their family to America if they dare!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte made a gesture of raising and dropping his sword.

In order to prevent the survey team from deceiving him, he chose surveyors with families, whose wives and daughters were killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte was in control of Paris.

Of course, this is just Jérôme. Bonaparte's first layer of insurance.

In order to prevent the survey team from "danger", Jérôme. Bonaparte also stuffed a group of loyal guards into the survey team, which in the name of "protecting" them, was in effect spying on them.

Most of these guards were descendants of the Empire, loyal to the Bonapartes, and with the addition of Jérôme. Bonaparte's unmasked eldest nephew, he believed that it would be difficult for these three forces to connect together to deceive him.

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte responded unswervingly, and the Count of Argour decided to believe in the president's propriety, and his pale blue eyes, which were usually cloudy and yellowed, burst out with enthusiasm like fire.

A good banker is able to package worthless things (e.g., jadeite, diamonds) into tall and expensive items, and then attract a large group of people to pay for them.

A shrewd banker can even create something out of nothing, turning non-existent assets into tangible assets in the form of stocks, and finally the tangible assets will go bankrupt due to poor management problems or debt problems, and the bankers will stand on the shore unscathed and laugh at the people struggling in the bankrupt Sea King, and mock: "You are poor not because you don't work hard!" ”

The banker who has achieved great magic can even harvest leeks while instilling some chicken soup for the soul like the people.

Of course, after the waves of the times receded, the people who woke up from the chicken soup looked at themselves "swimming naked" on the beach, and the chicken soup lost its effect.

In determining Jérôme. After the news of Bonaparte was true. The Count of Argyu had already remembered "a hundred ways to hype up the gold mines".

As long as the president's mines can produce gold, he will be able to use his capital to leverage the financial sector in France and even in Europe, and countless shareholders will pay for their shares.

As for how much gold the mines have, it's not up to them.

Alas! Where would the western gold diggers be their opponents, as long as the stock price could continue to rise, then they would have enough shells to attack those gold diggers.

"Your Majesty, how much money do you need!" The Count of Argour immediately turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that his bank could fully satisfy Jérôme. Bonaparte's needs.

"Mr. Earl, please don't be in a hurry!" Jérôme that substitutes the atmosphere into a climax. Bonaparte, instead, glanced at his pocket watch.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Jérôme. Bonaparte cleared his throat and said, "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and Emile. Perel, Mane, Adolf. Schneider appeared at the door.

Count Argou's expression froze, and he knew that there were probably a few more people at his table.

"Look! Our friends are coming! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled slyly, and the solemnity of the Count of Argou was already in full view of him.

For Jérôme. For Bonaparte, the more people who plan to join, the better.

In this way, he could gather a large number of bankers to serve his plan.

Once on Jérôme. Bonaparte, where is there still the possibility of disembarking.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Count Algourne moved from their desks to sofas.

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and repeated to them what he had said to the Count of Argour.

Several of the people present had different expressions, and the emir. Perel and Magne are one serious and the other excited, while Adolf. Schneider looked shocked.

"Your Majesty, what do you want us to do?" Emir. Perel immediately asked.

Jérôme with Jiro's legs cocked. Bonaparte said unhurriedly: "I want you to accompany me to do a big deal!" ”

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte's tone was very calm, but from the tone of his speech, several people present could sense the restless heart of His Excellency the President.

"Your Majesty, can you elaborate?" Cautious Adolf. Schneider looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"I'm going to invite you to join me in setting up a company and mining California's gold mines!" Jérôme. Bonaparte wanted to explain to a few of the people present: "We can turn the gold mine into stocks and sell our shares all over Europe!" As long as we can have enough gold, we are not afraid that they will not have confidence in our stocks, many countries have long had enough of the face of the Russian Empire! ”

Speaking of which, Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and looked at the group of "pioneers of the times" in front of him.

Since half of the world's gold came from the Russian Empire, Nicholas I, who owned the gold mines, had the right to price gold, so that European countries had to put up with this guy.

Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate was not yet founded, and European countries were in a state of obscurity about Japan.

Companies that own gold mines are often expected by shareholders, and in the minds of shareholders, a stock with gold is a guarantee, no matter how bad it is.

In general, Jérôme. Bonaparte's first half of thinking was not much different from that of the Count of Argouse.

For Jérôme. Bonaparte said that the next thing was to focus on, he looked at the bankers present and continued: "According to my survey team, there may be more gold mines in California than there are in the world (referring to Europe) combined, and you should know what that means!" ”

The faces of everyone present changed drastically.

If the president's words are true, the influx of gold is bound to hit the market value of gold in Europe.

Due to the delay of information in the European market and the American market, coupled with the speed of information circulation.

The price of gold in the European market will not fluctuate in the short term due to the discovery of large quantities of gold in California.

"We need to buy a batch of gold before the market reacts! When the time is right, we're selling this gold! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the "pioneers of the times" present: "With the help of this shareholder, we will be able to bring down the price of gold once again!" Gold is bound to be subject to large fluctuations, will European banks accept this volatility calmly? ”

Count Argyu subconsciously shook his head, of course the Banque de France would not want to see this kind of fluctuation, which would affect the Banque de France's regulation of finance.

Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "No, they won't! European banks will unite to curb this volatility and stabilize the price of gold, but those "groundhogs" in California can't wait for the European banks to act, so I will collect the gold in their hands and slowly sell it. Every fluctuation allows the European banks to pay for our actions! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's blueprint made several people present swallow.

If Jérôme. If Bonaparte's plan had succeeded, the more than 100,000 miners throughout California would have to serve them.

Of course, this is also a way to take into account the national self-government of the federal government of America.

The power of the central government of the United States in this era was not comparable to that of later generations, and the power of the states was in the hands of the state governments, that is, the legislators they chose.

The price of bribing a parliamentarian is many times simpler than bribing a country.

If the United States could be as centralized as France was, then Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan was about to be hit hard as soon as it first showed its head.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to obey your command!" Manie immediately joined Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan.

Emir. Perel, Adolf. Schneider and Count Algyu also joined in.

To complete the Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan, Mangé contributed 8 million francs, Adolf. Schneider contributed 6 million francs, Emile. Perel contributed 10 million francs, the Count of Argou contributed 10 million francs, and Jérôme. Bonaparte, for his part, used gold mines as collateral to "contribute" at a discount of 10 million francs.
