Chapter 1006 Suspension of Financing

Under Wilson's leadership, Jérôme. Bonaparte spent nearly half an hour visiting the old royal palace of Savoyin, and then took Jérôme . Bonaparte was brought back to the main hall of the Palazzo Vecchio.

"Not bad! Not bad! The sparrow is small, but it has all the treasures! "Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his chin, pointed to the gold chandelier above his head and the picture of the ceiling, and said, "You can see that you have put a lot of thought into this palace!" ”

Although the palace in front of us is the old palace of the Savoyin family, it is only a product of the 11th century.

(The palace was built in the 11th century and completed in 1466.) )

Since the royal family of Savoyin moved the duchy from Chambéry to Turin after 1563, the palace has been largely free-range.

At the end of the 18th century, when the French army entered Savoyin, the palace was damaged by the French army.

When the French army under the leadership of Emperor Napoleon broke into the palace, most of the valuable goods in the palace were exchanged by Napoleon for the military expenses of the Italian Front.

After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, only a small number of collections returned to the palace, and the vast majority of the collections were placed in the private collections of British, Russian, Austrian-Prussian generals.

It is precisely because of this that the Savoyin Raiders Old Palace will be completely abandoned by the Savoyin family, otherwise, Wilson would not have been able to obtain this palace by saying anything.

Wilson can be said to have renovated the entire palace from scratch.

"Your Majesty, you have won the prize!" Wilson humbly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"That's right! Mr. Wilson, I'm curious why you bought this castle! I think the price of renovating this old antique should be no cheaper than buying a brand new castle! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have a special hobby for some old and antique buildings, which is why I chose to buy this castle!" Wilson vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded slowly and said to Wilson, "Pay for your hobby, it's worth the money!" ”

Wilson smiled slightly, then nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to Camilo. "Mr. Varne, thank you very much for being able to find such a suitable place for me to stay!" We don't have to sleep on the streets today! ”

Camelot. Varnet waved his hand at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "Your Majesty, the invitation to come here is actually a suggestion that Mr. Wilson has volunteered to me!"

All I did was get you here safely, and nothing else! ”

"Mr. Varne, you are so modest!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in the same way.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Camillo. As Varner and the two complimented each other, a butler in a black dress appeared beside Wilson and whispered to him in Wilson's ear.

Wilson bowed slightly, ordered the butler to leave first, and then turned his gaze to Jérôme. Bonaparte and others, and then lowered his profile and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, may you allow me to say a word!" ”

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said heartily, "As the master of this palace, you naturally have the right to speak!" ”

So, Wilson spoke loudly to Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others said, "Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, and the rank generals, my butler has just come to tell me that dinner is ready for you!" Would you like to dine together? ”

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately responded to Wilson.

The rest now hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's answer was followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte said yes.

Under Wilson's leadership, Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others entered the dining room.

"Your Majesty, please be seated!" Wilson hurriedly invited Jérôme. Bonaparte sat on the main seat.

"That's not good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Wilson, "We are all guests, and you are the host!"

It's up to you to sit on it, we'll sit on it! ”

"Your Majesty, there is no better place to sit on it!" Wilson was sincere to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "If you don't sit on it, then all of us here will not dare to sit down!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Camilo. Varna also helped, "If you don't sit on it, who of us dares to sit down!" ”

At Wilson's uninterrupted invitation, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down "reluctantly" on the main seat.

Later, the servants who entered the dining room arrived in Jérôme with glassware containing wine. In front of Bonaparte, in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte poured red wine from a glassware into it.

After pouring a glass of red wine in front of everyone, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his glass and said to the crowd, "Everyone, let us toast to the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia!" ”

The people present were in Jérôme. At Bonaparte's call, he raised his glass and said in a loud voice, "Cheers to the Franco-Sasa friendship!" ”

After a glass of wine, the servant ran to Jérôme again. A glass of wine was poured in front of Bonaparte and the others.

The second glass was opened by Niel, who was the chief of the General Staff, who raised his glass and proposed "Jérôme. The good health of His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte" Cheers.

Wine table except for the Rome. Everyone except Bonaparte agreed with Nière's suggestion, and everyone toasted again.

After two glasses of wine, the faces of many of the people present unconsciously took a hint of rosy. Bonaparte picked up a knife and fork that had been placed aside, cut off a small piece of foie gras from the plate, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Those present also followed Jérôme. Bonaparte began the formal dining together...... The banquet lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Bonaparte asked Camilo. Varnet has a lot of questions about Chambéry, Camilo. Varnet answered them all.

The well-fed crowd left the restaurant, and Camilo . Valne-oriented Jérôme. Bonaparte resigned.

Stay until Camilo. After Walsson left, Jérôme. Bonaparte put away his smile and said to Wilson word by word with a serious expression, "Mr. Wilson, I don't know if you know the emir. Perel and Yin Sak. Perel! ”

In the face of the sudden inquiry, Wilson's boy shrank slightly, and then hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "Your Majesty, who in all Paris does not know about the Société Générale de Paris, founded by the Perel brothers!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and said to Wilson, "Mr. Wilson, I need you to tell me honestly!" Is it the Industrial Bank behind Wilson Bank? ”

Wilson smiled wryly and said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "I can't hide anything from you, Your Majesty!" That's right, behind Wilson Bank is indeed Industrial Bank! ”

"In this way, I'm afraid the purpose of your coming to Savoyin is not just to invest!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to speculate, "I guess this bank of yours should hold a certain amount of shares in the Savoyin (Savoy) Bank!" ”

Wilson had a look of horror on his face, he had never told Jérôme. Bonaparte, Wilson Bank holds shares and bonds of the Savoyin Bank.

Unless Jérôme. Bonaparte himself verified, but judging from the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor just now, he should not have known the specific business of Wilson's Bank.

"Your Majesty, how do you know?" Wilson smiled wryly at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Nonsense! In the previous life, the Perel brothers all took a fancy to the right of the Sava Bank to freely redeem the bills and issue bank notes! Since they valued Sava Bank in their previous life, then you, the leather bag company of the Industrial Bank, naturally have to follow their wishes to make a move against Sava Bank!

Jérôme. Bonaparte said secretly in his heart.

Of course, he couldn't have said these things to Wilson.

"This!" Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth rose slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "I guess! ”

"Your Majesty, you guessed right!" Wilson vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "It is true that Wilson Bank has acquired a part of the shares of the Savoy Bank, but at the moment we have not yet fully mastered the Savoyine Bank. ”

"What do you want to do when you get the hang of it?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, pretending to be unaware.

"Your Majesty, I won't tell you! The headquarters may want to act as a guarantee for Société Géribas through the Savoy Bank! "Wilson vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"From now on, Wilson Bank ceases this business!" Jérôme. Bonaparte frowned at Wilson.

"Why?" Wilson asked, confused.

"It won't be long before the Bank of Savoy becomes the territory of France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Wilson, "At that time, the function of the Savoyine Bank to issue bank notes will be completely abolished!"

Only the Banque de France has this right in the whole of France! ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Wilson's face was frustrated, nearly 50 million francs of capital injection, is it really just a waste of water!

"Your Majesty, when is the French Empire going to annex Savoyin!" Wilson asked a little reluctantly, and he wanted to take advantage of this time to sell his stake in the Savoyin Bank.

In this way, he will be able to recoup some of his losses.

"It will probably be completed in the last one to two months, but this is only an estimate, I don't know exactly when the merger will be, it all depends on when this Sardinian crisis can end!" Jérôme. Bonaparte naturally understood what Wilson meant, and immediately said a word to Wilson.
