Chapter 200: Family split
Follow James. Rothschild walked up to the second floor of Alphonse. Unbeknownst to Rothschild, the steward, who had been faithfully serving the Rothschild family, was about to enter prison in their place.
Alphonse and James with doubts. Rothschild entered the study one after the other.
"Sit down!" James. Rothschild ordered Alphonse to sit down.
"Yes!" Alphonse obeyed his father's orders and sat down on the couch.
As soon as Alphonse sat down, he heard James. Rothschild's vicissitudes of voice: "From today onwards, you will take my place in the full management of the French branch!" ”
James. Rothschild's sudden appointment took Alvons by surprise.
At this time, he was not the big banker who would single-handedly lead the reparations of the Bank of France against Prussia 21 years later.
Now he has just taken over some of the bank's capital transfer and part of the bank's bond investment rights.
Even such a small amount of power has already made Alvons. Morality. Rothschild felt what it meant to be powerless.
Not to mention the entire Rothschild Bank business, Alphons, who had learned the previous lesson, was worried that he would not be able to do this job.
"Father, I ......" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild was a little at a loss, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I think I still have a lot to learn!" ”
"Then manage and learn at the same time!" James. Baron Rothschild responded.
"Father, why did you hand over the bank to me so soon!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Alphonse......" James. Rothschild sighed, shook his head and said, "There is always someone to blame for failure, you are still young!" ”
"Father...... What were the conditions on which you promised the president? Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild's voice trembled a little.
James. Rothschild's eyes revealed a touch of heartache, and he raised three fingers and said in a trembling voice: "Thirty million francs, plus our recent losses, the French Rothschild Bank lost almost fifty million francs!" ”
"Fifty million francs!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild felt for a moment that the world was spinning.
Fifty million francs is not a small number, but it is almost 2 million pounds when converted into pounds.
This amounted to leaving the Rothschild Bank from 1845 to 1848 without a penny.
These three years were the most profitable for Rothschild's Banque de France, especially the railroad speculation of 1845-1847, which doubled the assets of the French branch.
"And that's not all!" James. Rothschild smiled bitterly and said: "We also need to stabilize the ...... of Austrian and South German national debt."
"It's another big expense!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild replied.
"That's right!" James. Baron Rothschild nodded in response.
The loss of nearly 60 million francs must have been paid for, causing a large loss of James. Baron Rothschild will inevitably become the target of criticism from the shareholders of the Rothschild family.
Experienced Leonel. Rothschild betrays James. Rothschild also does not unconditionally believe in the so-called relatives.
No matter how close the relatives are, in the final analysis, they are still "outsiders", and their sons are the executors of their own will.
Come to think of it, James. Rothschild glanced at his son.
"Father, what are you going to do with those shareholders! If you just resign, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm their anger! Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild calmly analyzed, he knew that his father was destined to pay for the failure, and some of his fellow Rothschilds had long wanted to replace him.
"Don't worry about the small and medium-sized shares in the family, as long as Leonel and them are pacified, the rest will not be enough!" James. Rothschild in mentioning Leonel. Rothschild's tone was noticeably heavier.
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild was also a master of his father's reference to his cousin Leonel. Rothschild's mood changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Father, cousin is he ......"
"Don't call that dog mongrel cousin, I don't have such a nephew, and you don't have such a cousin!" The gloomy aura that had gathered in his chest for many days exploded in an instant. Rothschild said in a rough tone.
Inleonel. Rothschild's betrayal made James. Rothschild's mood fluctuated violently, coupled with the fact that James . Rothschild himself was already an old man in his 60s, and the sharp contrast made him cough: "Ahem...... Ahem......"
Alphonse. Morality. Seeing this, Rothschild hurried to James. Rothschild gently slapped James in front of him. Rothschild's back.
Stay until James. Rothschild wasn't coughing when Alphons. Morality. Rothschild asked, "Father, what else happened during my time in prison?" ”
James. Rothschild for Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild recounted what happened during his time in prison and how he saw Leonel. Rothschild wrote to Jérôme. Bonaparte's letterhead.
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild's face couldn't help but turn white. Rothschild, too, never imagined that a member of the family would choose to betray, and that he was also his own high-ranking cousin.
"Leonel, he ...... What the hell do you want to do! Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild said through gritted teeth.
"He probably wants us to stop meddling in the Bank of England." James. Rothschild sighed, and said with a hint of relief in his eyes: "A young eagle always wants to fly to the blue sky alone, and I may have given them too many restraints!" ”
"If it weren't for his father, he wouldn't have been at the helm of Britain, and if you put him in this position, father, instead of thanking him, he fell into the ground!" Alphonse. De Rothschild said indignantly.
"Alphonse!" James. Rothschild did not have Alvons's resentment, he replied in a flat tone: "Leonel has used his actions to show that he is a qualified person at the helm of the British branch, so there is no question of whether to help or not, and now we need them to help us on the family board!" ”
"Father, that guy Leonel just betrayed you! Will he still help us? Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild clearly did not believe Leonel . Rothschild will also help them.
"Yes!" James. Rothschild said categorically: "What my nephew wants is nothing more than the power of the Bank of England to be autonomous!" Well, I can give him this power! Not only that, but I will give the same power to Frankfurt, Vienna, Naples! ”
James. Rothschild's words made Alvons. Morality. Rothschild was shocked, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Father, then you will lose control of the entire Rothschild Bank!" ”
Looking at his son, who has no overall picture in front of him, James. A flash of loss flashed in Rothschild's eyes, he was still too young.
"Alphonse, I ask you! Having caused almost 50 million losses, what else can we do to manage other Rothschild banks? We even have to deal with the shareholders of the French branch! Instead of a leader who only has a name, it is better to be honest and master the resources in our hands! "James. Rothschild to Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild explained: "I will give some of my British shares to Leonel in exchange for Leonel's help in helping us through this difficult situation!" ”
Due to the Rothschild family system, some of the core members of the Rothschild family held shares in each other's banks. Rothschild's father, who was also the founder of Rothschild Bank, Meyer. Rothschild was founded to enable branches to rely on each other.
Of course, Meyer. Rothschild's idea was very happy, but the reality was that the banks that owned the shares of the other party would not necessarily be difficult to rely on, but would fall into the trap.
It's all a dump of power!
Use a part of the shares of the Rothschild branch in Britain to cash out to make up for part of the shortfall, and then use the support of Leonel and others to suppress the opposition of the members of the Rothschild branch in France.
James. Rothschild will take all the problems on himself, resign himself as chairman of the bank, and then his son will succeed him.
A James with no name as a leader. Rothschild no longer has any ability to interfere in the operation of the bank, which is undoubtedly the best solution for the major branches.
"This time we underestimated Jérôme. Bonaparte! "James. Rothschild admitted his failure, and he began to adjust to the company's business: "Alphons, the company's goal in the future is not only to focus on domestic railways, but also to look in a further direction!" ”
"Further directions?" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild was a little confused.
"Yes!" James. Rothschild nodded, got up and went to his desk, pulled out a stack of letterheads from the drawer and handed it to Alphons. Morality. Rothschild: "Look at it! ”
Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild opened the letterhead, and the contents of the letterhead had some connection to California.
"Gold?" After reading the letter, Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild vs. James. Rothschild tract.
"That's right! California mined a lot of gold! Our survey team in the New World has discovered a gold mine! "James. Rothschild nodded to Alphons.
"Father, we should act now!" Alphonse. Morality. Rothschild said eagerly.
