"Count Algu, there is no need to be so formal! We are just chatting! I am also a person who likes to study economics, so I will share my research with you."
Jérôme Bonaparte found an excuse for his recent behavior, and at the same time hinted that Count Argoux would not depose him.
Jérôme Bonaparte's words effectively alleviated the current embarrassment, and Count Argou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the president can give up his "stupid" ideas, then he does not need to step down from his position as president of the Bank of France.
leave.
Count Argoux, who has been president of the Bank of France for more than ten years, does not want to resign so soon. Now he is "only" in his 60s. The energetic Count Argoux believes that he can still serve the entire Bank of France. 10... No,
It should be more than 20 years.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my behavior just now!" Count Argou also came down the slope to apologize to Jerome Bonaparte, and then said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Although I cannot change my colleagues at the Bank of France.
We don’t have any opinions, but we can still give you some help!”
"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argoux: "The government now wants to provide a guarantee for those disabled soldiers. Can the Bank of France..."
"No problem, Your Majesty!" Count Argoux responded immediately: "The Bank of France is willing to serve France's public utilities."
Compared with the "unreliable" grand blueprint proposed by His Excellency the President, simply asking for it is obviously much more pleasing to the eye.
"Count Argoux, thank you for leading the bankers of the Bank of France and for your dedicated service to France for so many years!" Jerome Bonaparte expressed his gratitude to Count Argoux: "I hope you can continue to do so in the future.
Lead the Banque de France to achieve greater glory!”
Count Argu also reciprocated: "I firmly believe that France will prosper under your leadership!"
One is the President of France and the other is the President of the Bank of France. They collude together and control the French guns (Changarnier is currently considered Jérôme Bonaparte's man), pens and money.
Bag, who else in France can be their opponent.
After the general exchange of opinions, Count Argu carefully asked Jérôme Bonaparte: "Mr. President, I don't know what you are going to do with James Rothschild's son!"
"This is what Baron James Rothschild wants!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and said to Count Argoux: "Count Argoux, can you give it to Baron James Rothschild for me?
Bring a word!"
"Say!" Count Argu knew that this was an opportunity given to him by Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Please tell Mr. Baron Rothschild that if his son wants to come out, he must at least..." Jérôme Bonaparte was lying on a finger.
Count Argu took a deep breath, he understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant.
Baron James Rothschild needs to pay a bail of 10 million francs, which is not a small amount of money for the Rothschild family.
"Mr. President, can you give it a little less?" Since Baron James Rothschild is a director of the Bank of France like himself, Count Argoux felt that he had to "put in a good word" for James Rothschild.
.
"Then 8 million!" Jérôme Bonaparte cut the amount by one-fifth and put an end to Count Argu's request to continue bargaining.
"Yes!" Count Argu responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Since there is nothing to do, let's do this!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the quasi-Bonapartist bankers present to adjourn the meeting.
The quasi-Bonapartist bankers walked back from the conference room to the living room.
The dance was coming to an end at this time, and the moment the president appeared at the dance once again won the final climax.
The soldiers raised their glasses and came to Jérôme Bonaparte's side and shouted "Long live Napoleon". The bankers who had been extorted also smiled at the president.
After the bankers and soldiers took turns to toast, Jérôme Bonaparte announced the end of the ball.
Except for Alphonse de Rothschild, who was arrested, all bankers left the Elysée Palace safely.
Looking back afterwards, they all felt extremely lucky for everything they had done today.
After bidding farewell to the bankers and military groups, Jérôme Bonaparte called Pesini.
"Your Majesty!" Pesini responded respectfully to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Pessini, I want to see negative news about the Rothschild family in the newspaper tomorrow!" Jérôme Bonaparte issued an order to Pesigny: "It's okay to make up the story that the Rothschild family controls France.
Whether Freemasonry is a branch of the Rothschild family... I want to set off a wave and let the old guy James Rothschild see who has the final say in France!"
Standing in the courtyard of the Elysee Palace, Jerome Bonaparte clenched his fists and looked firmly at the stars in the sky.
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was planning to make James Rothschild "kneel down and beg for mercy," Baron James Rothschild of the Saint-Germain district also received thunderous news.
"What? Didn't you see Alphonse come out?" James Rothschild's old and stern voice came from the living room.
"Yes! Master! I didn't wait until Master Alphonse came out!" The servant responsible for picking up Alphonse de Rothschild responded to James Rothschild in a low voice.
"Then why are you coming back?" James Rothschild's tone became more aggressive. His years of gambling in the French financial market had given him a calm attitude.
"I..." Facing James Rothschild's aura like a man-eating beast, the servant's voice trembled.
"Mr. Baron, don't make it difficult for him!" Count Algu's voice appeared behind Baron James Rothschild.
Baron James Rothschild couldn't help but look behind him.
"Count Argoux!" The arrival of the president of the Bank of France temporarily relieved James Rothschild's anger. He nodded slightly to the "respected" count in front of him.
"Mr. Baron, I am here to tell you on behalf of the president that your son Alphonse is staying at the police station!" Count Argu said to James Rothschild.
"Why is Alphonse in prison?" James Rothschild said in shock.
Ever since Baron James Rothschild followed his father's orders and took root in France, no one in the entire French political circle has respected them.
"Alphonse contradicted Mr. President!" Count Algo explained to Baron James Rothschild.
"President?" James Rothschild couldn't help but poke the ground a few times with his cane and shouted sternly, "He is just the manager of France. What authority does he have to imprison my son!"
"Just because he is that man's nephew!" Faced with James Rothschild's anger, Count Argu showed no fear at all, and the capital he could use was not much inferior to that of James Rothschild.
Of course, only in France.
Count Argu's words made James Rothschild calm down a little. He still said coldly: "The president's term of office is not unlimited. Sooner or later, he will pay the price for his wanton actions!"
"Mr. Baron, do you think that man's nephew will just wait to step down?" Count Argu retorted, "No one is willing to let go of power as long as it is in their hands! The emperor was able to control the five hundred people in the palace
After disbanding, guess whether he will be like the original emperor!"
After his brief anger was contained, James Rothschild regained his composure. He looked intently at Count Argu, who was visiting late at night, and forced a smile to say: "I don't know, your Excellency, the President, needs us, the Rothschild family, to do this."
What!"
Count Argu was a little surprised by James Rothschild's reaction. It seemed that James Rothschild's sense of smell as a political banker was still sharp.
"The president hopes that the Rothschild family will become responsible for France and serve French public undertakings!" Count Argu said to James Rothschild.
The Rothschild family has been serving French public services!
James Rothschild couldn't help shouting in his heart, he understood what Count Argu meant.
After a long time of turmoil, the Rothschild family encountered bandits.
"I don't know how much money the president needs from us to provide public services!" James Rothschild asked Count Argu in a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Eight million francs!" Count Argoux responded immediately.
"Eight million francs?!!!" James Rothschild's eyes widened, and his voice could not help but rise a bit.
Although James Rothschild had long planned to bleed money, Jérôme Bonaparte's offer really exceeded his psychological expectations.
"I only need to spend half the money to buy his life!" James Rothschild responded viciously to Count Argu.
"Believe me! If you do this, both you and your son will die in an ugly way!" Count Algu threatened with a solemn expression: "Mr. President carries the dreams of many people!"
"I..." James Rothschild couldn't help but swallowed. He regretted why he said the words he just said without thinking.
The Rothschild family is indeed rich, but it does not mean that they can compete with the president who controls the administrative and military power of France.
For France, the president may not be irreplaceable, and bankers are not irreplaceable either.
