"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, sighing inwardly, and his expression gradually became solemn: "I also heard about my cousin's loan at Rothschild Bank!"
Is it finally a showdown? Enemy or friend?
Jérôme Bonaparte's body was slightly tense, his attention was also highly concentrated, and he was always ready to "fight" for fear of falling into a trap in the next "game".
The subtle changes in Jérôme Bonaparte's expression certainly did not escape the eyes of the cunning Lionel Rothschild.
A cautious prince who looks difficult to deal with!
Lionel Rothschild silently commented to Jérôme. He still had a professional smile on his face and said briskly: "Your Excellency, please don't worry. I'm not here to collect debts."
of!"
Rothschild paused and then said: "Furthermore, cousin Ling's current collateral with me is actually enough for him to repay the loan he borrowed from Rothschild!"
Lionel Rothschild's "magnanimous" forgiveness of Louis Napoleon's loan to the Rothschild family during his lifetime did not make Jerome Bonaparte feel the same gratitude in his heart, but more
The most important thing is to be wary of Lionel Rothschild. A shrewd banker will not generously forgive the borrower's debt. They will only use their financial means to squeeze the last bit of money out of the borrower's pocket.
franc, bankrupting it.
Unless the borrower has a value far greater than the debt itself, lending money to people who are valuable and in need is what a qualified banker should do.
Just like why some banks in later generations will not easily lend to small and medium-sized industrial companies, but will try to lend illegally to those real estate companies. Even if the government repeatedly emphasizes not to pour hot money into the real estate market, there are still a large number of
People ignore the law and pour hot money into real estate through other channels and change the law.
Isn’t it because the economic value of real estate is much more stable than other real industries? The demand for houses prevents banks from worrying about houses not being sold. Even when some real estate developers are about to go bankrupt, in order to prevent the trillion-dollar real estate industry from going bankrupt.
As for the resulting shock, the government has to hold its nose and introduce stable policies to ensure that there will be no large-scale avalanche in the market.
Even a layman like Jérôme Bonaparte could understand such a simple question, and Lionel Rothschild would not fail to understand it.
Now Jérôme Bonaparte has to express his "thank you" to Lionel Rothschild Bank.
"Your Excellency, you should know the history of our Rothschild family!" Lionel Rothschild said.
"Of course, the Rothschild family was as much a beneficiary of the revolution as the Bonaparte family!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded.
"That's right! That revolution, what a great revolution!" Lionel Rothschild sighed with blurred eyes.
For the revolution that the nobles called dark history, Lionel's heart was filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for that revolution, my ancestor might have been an antique dealer for the rest of his life.
Throughout his life, he can only marry a small German nobleman who is about to go bankrupt. The next generation can have an extra word "Feng" in his name.
I am afraid that people of my own generation can only squeeze their lives into the so-called upper class circle, unlike now that I can receive countless olive branches from the upper class just by hooking up.
Although their purpose was just to borrow more money from the Rothschild family, so what? At least he could enjoy the feeling of standing out from the crowd.
"Well! Great revolution!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was the beneficiary, also echoed.
"Of course, we also have Waterloo!" Lionel Rothschild changed the topic and said: "The Great Emperor's Battle of Waterloo caused heavy losses to the family! From that time on, the family has begun to consider avoiding war as much as possible!
"
"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Lionel Rothschild suspiciously. He suddenly remembered that the Rothschild family's heavy losses in Waterloo mentioned in a certain book were true.
The credibility of those things is still relatively high.
So, the Rothschild family is now...
Jerome Bonaparte recalls the "history" of the Rothschild family.
"Your Excellency, don't look at me like that!" Lionel Rothschild spread his hands and said: "Today, no country is more peace-loving than Rothschild, and no country is attacked by the Rothschild family.
lost heavily!"
Rothschild in the mid-19th century was different from the late 18th century, with its stalls spread across most of Europe.
Once Europe is in turmoil, it will inevitably affect their business in Europe. Finance is strong and fragile. Its strength lies in its ability to raise huge amounts of cash in a very short period of time to arm the army. Its weakness lies in its lack of actual control.
With the military's capabilities, the dictator can take advantage of the war to rectify illegal financial elements, especially Jews like them.
Jérôme Bonaparte's face twitched slightly, it was too ironic to be able to get the four words of his love for peace from a warmonger.
"So, His Excellency the Baron wants to cooperate with the Bonaparte family?" Jerome Bonaparte asked the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"No! No! No!" Lionel Rothschild shook the spoon in his hand and said: "The Rothschild family will not openly side with any force, nor will it cooperate with any force! We will only
We will do our best to provide customers with the best financial services!”
Lionel Rothschild deliberately emphasized his tone.
"So, you are also cooperating with the current government of the Republic!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Lionel Rothschild with a hint of ridicule.
"Of course!" Lionel Rothschild said through gritted teeth with a trace of resentment in his eyes.
The family should not have listened to the advice of their uncle (James Rothschild) and bet on those rebels. Now that these guys have come forward, the family has suffered heavy losses. [Note 1]
"Believe me, your investment will not disappoint Rothschild!"
ps: 1. After the February Revolution, there were a large number of bank runs in France. The Rothschild Bank, as the first bank in the run, lost a lot of cash. Until the government of the Republic reacted and issued a decree ordering the banks not to exchange money.
Only then did Rothschild's branch in France stop its losses.
