Chapter 305, Rothschild

François himself could not make a decision on such a big thing, so he could only tell Louis that he needed to go back and inform the investors behind him of the situation. Louis also expressed his understanding, and then the two sides agreed on the time for the next negotiation, so François stood up and said goodbye.

François came out of "Bonaparte General Electric", and got on the carriage waiting outside and went directly to the Austrian Embassy. In the embassy, ​​François informed Metternich about the results of his conversation with Louis, and then said to Metternich: "Mr. Ambassador, do you have any opinions on this suggestion from the French?"

Metternich thought for a while and replied, "François, I think in general, the Bonaparte family has expressed some kindness to us. As they said, they actually do not lack channels to obtain funds. If they need funds, I believe that banks across Europe, including those of the British, will be willing to cooperate with them. In this case, it is not easy for them to share some of our shares. As for preferred stocks, I have never seen such things. I think these terms are not bad. Anyway, I think our goal should not include competing with the Bonaparte family for control of "Bonaparte General Electric"?"

"It is impossible for at least a short time." François shook his head, "The Bonaparte family's rule in France has gradually taken root. This is not easy, but they have really done it. Bonaparte's rule became the rule of France as a war hero. This status is unstable. Although when he first ascended the throne, the people praised his great achievements and praised him. However, great achievements will fade, and it will not take long for the people to forget the merits he made on the battlefield.

This is because they supported him before, in the final analysis, because he took them to grab a lot of things, robbed all the savings of the French nobles, robbed us, robbed the Italians, and robbed Prussia. He divided the stolen things to the foolish people in the country, and those guys would naturally be grateful to him.

But the money stolen is always used up. The people have been used to making money easily through robbery, so it is difficult for them to calm down and live a poor life honestly. If General Napoleon wants to maintain the support and love of the people for him, he must let them live a relatively easy and good life. This is difficult, and we originally thought that he could not do it. We think that the greatest possibility is to keep taking the army out to grab it. But this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. His doing so will only make France and the enemy of the whole of Europe. By that time, his failure is expected.

But we have to admit that we underestimated General Napoleon and the Bonaparte family behind him. Among them was not just a military genius, the French, under their leadership, had embarked on a new path - a path we had not foreseeable. With business and science, they can now easily get more money than war can get. Therefore, at least within the foreseeable time, General Napoleon's rule in France had been stabilized. Unfortunately, he was not a royal family, otherwise he could directly turn France into a kingdom.

Since they will not have any problems in a short period of time, it is naturally impossible for us to seek their most core interests. Now, the rise of France is unstoppable. It seems that God is really standing on Bonaparte's side at this time. We can only temporarily put away other ideas and obey God's will. Ambassador, I know what you ask me, and the reason why I still have doubts is that preferred shares cannot be transferred at will. This means that if we get on the French, it will be difficult for us to get off the ship.

I think the reason why the French proposed preferred stocks was probably to see how much we were willing to tie ourselves to them. So, I was hesitant."

"François, you ask me about this question, and you know, I'm not very proficient in these things. But I have a friend who is a Jew who is quite proficient in economic matters. Maybe you can ask him for his opinion."

"Thank you for your help," said François, "who is this friend?"

"Meyer Rothschild - a banker in Frankfurt. He is very good at trading and teaches his son. He has five sons, all of whom are good at trading. Now his son Nathan Mayer Rothschild has opened a bank in Paris and his business is also very good. You can ask him, and he might be able to come up with some ideas for you."

Nathan Mayer Rothschild was the most important figure in the history of the founding of the famous family. He was the third son of Rothschild, and the most capable of his five sons. In his original history, at the end of 1798, he came to London with a start-up capital. At this time, he should have run his own bank in London and has become a respected figure in the British capital market.

But in this time and space, for some reason, in 1798, Nathan did not go to London as he did in history, but came to Paris. During the Battle of Verdun, the false news of injury released by Joseph deceived almost everyone, but Nathan inferred through various information he had learned that even if the news was true, the British-Prussian coalition could not shake Verdun's defense line and could not escape the conclusion of the fate of failure. So when the French national debt fell wildly to only one-twentieth of its original value due to rumors, he decisively suppressed most of his wealth. He began to buy French national debt on a large scale before Bowang Bank, and as a result, he made a fortune in one fell swoop and gained Bowang's hatred and admiration.

It is said that when Mr. Bowang educated his son, he often used Nathan Mayer Rothschild as a role model. This practice stimulated Xiao Bowang and worked very hard to learn. But on the other hand, it also brought another consequence, that is, it made Xiao Bowang very disgusted with those with the surname Rothschild and even Jews.

Since then, Nathan Mayer Rothschild has always hoped to penetrate into the French military-industrial complex, but on the one hand, Mr. Bowang is very opposed, and on the other hand, Joseph seems to have some bad views on the surname "Rothschild".

This is actually very normal. After all, in the previous life, Joseph also watched "Currency War". Although Joseph in the previous life also knew that "Currency War" and other things were just one. The Rothschild family was not that awesome at all. Even Joseph knew that since he missed the United States, the Rothschild family suffered two more losses in World War I and II, and was no longer the most powerful consortium.

But this does not mean that Joseph can relax his vigilance, especially when facing a guy named "Nathan Mayer Rothschild". Joseph remembers that in original history, this guy once almost controlled the entire British monetary policy.

Monetary policy is one of the most important sovereignty of a country. This kind of thing must not fall into the hands of any consortium except the Bonaparte consortium. Otherwise, the interests of the French people will not be guaranteed and the French people will become slaves.

Just like the lighthouse country in later generations, monetary sovereignty fell into the hands of a private institution. When the plague occurred, it had several months of early warning time, the world's most abundant medical resources and medical technology, and an omnipotent and omniscient president, but in the end, whether to protect the economy or life, choose the former, making a world's number one superpower like a third world country. How can such a thing be allowed to be staged in the great France? How can monetary sovereignty fall into the hands of the Jews?

The French people would never agree to such a thing, and we do not recognize anyone except the "Bonaparte Consortium"!

Because of this alertness, although Nathan Meyer Rothschild is very profitable in France, his efforts to join the "military-industrial complex" were not very successful.

François, who held Metternich's introduction letter, met the banker at Nathan Metternich's luxuriously furnished home. François told Nathan about his intention to come.

Nathan crossed his fingers, put them together, sat on the sofa and thought about it, and said, "I can understand your concerns. You think this business is worth doing - in fact, I think so too; you plan to put as much cash as possible in - in fact, if there is a chance, I want it too. But you are also worried that once this money becomes preferred stock, it cannot turn it into cash in the market like ordinary stocks. If you invest too much cash, it will cause you to get into trouble when you need cash in urgent need; if you don't put all the cash in, you feel that this is a good opportunity to make money in vain. Are you right? "

François nodded and said, "Mr. Rothschild, you are right, this is exactly what I am worried about."

"Mr. Francois," said Nathan Meyer Rothschild, spreading his hands on the table, "I have a best of both worlds, which allows you to invest money in it with confidence, and ensure that your funds are sufficient liquidity. You see, we can create an investment company first, then inject funds into this company, and then purchase the preferred shares of Bonaparte General Electric through this company. In this way, although the preferred shares of Bonaparte General Electric cannot be traded on the market, the shares of the company that holds it can be freely circulated on the market. What do you think of this method?"

"Mr. Rothschild, thank you so much. This is a great solution. How can I thank you?" François said.
