Text Chapter 175 Create Panic

Jerome Bonaparte and Emile Perel discussed the company's operation and equity structure for nearly half an hour, and finally set the tone.

The Emile Perel Bank invested 2 million francs to acquire a state-owned firearms company in Paris. Jerome Bonaparte took 51% of the company's shares in the form of technical shares and became the absolute controlling shareholder of the company. Operations are handed over to Jewish professional managers.

In terms of the operation of the company, Jews are undoubtedly the top figures in the whole of France and even the whole of Europe. Jerome Bonaparte is also not worried that the company will be usurped by Jews. The Jews of this era are still object of persecution.

There are no less than 10 pamphlets about black Jews in Paris known to Romé Bonaparte, some of which are indeed from Jewish bankers, but more of them are colleagues of bankers in Paris. , they attributed all the fault to the Jewish bankers, and called on them to act to eradicate the vampires entrenched in France.

Since France in the Second Republic is still in the first position in the European Continental Army (in France's own opinion), class conflicts and national conflicts are not too intense under the condition that the vanity of a great power can still be maintained, and many petty bourgeois in Paris did not join in. Criticize the ranks of the Jews.

When the Second Empire collapsed and the vanity of the great French power was smashed by Prussian steel cannons, the class contradictions were completely exposed. Those bankers with ulterior motives and part of the royalists united to make up the lie that France was controlled by Jews.

Under the guidance of the Dresden incident, an anti-Semitic incident was launched in France, and German and French board members in the Banque de France took the opportunity to attack Jewish bankers.

In that incident, the Jewish banker suffered heavy losses and was almost excluded from the center of power of the Banque de France.

Jerome Bonaparte, in the context of anti-judaism, is not at all worried about the betrayal of the Jews. He can also do what an Austrian demon can do 90 years later.

The slaughter of Jews in the 20th century may have been a crime, but in the 19th century there was no punishment for slaughtering Jews.

The behavior of the colonists during this period in the colonies was more than that of the Third Reich in the 20th century.

On the face of this transaction, Emile Perel suffered a big loss, and he bought more than 2 million francs in exchange for the company's equity.

However, in Emile Perel's mind, it was not like this. He used 2 million francs to gain the monarch's friendship, which was simply a bargain.

The newly established company will also not be attached to Jérôme Bonaparte. It is the self-cultivation of a president to maintain a clean image to the outside world. The man is a white glove prepared by Jerome Bonaparte in meditation.

After dealing with personal affairs, Jerome Bonaparte turned to Emile Perel and talked about "official affairs": "Mr. Emile, I will hold a grand military parade in Paris recently!"

Emile Perel was stunned for a moment, and said complimentingly: "That's great! France is in need of an exciting military parade!"

"But..." Jerome Bonaparte showed a disappointed expression, and his tone became dull: "The Legislative Assembly does not understand my painstaking efforts, they will only think that I am wasting taxpayers' money to satisfy Personal desire! How do they know that if France cannot show its strength to the outside world, those countries will turn into beasts and tear France apart. For them, a French republic is a heresy and an object of destruction!"

"What you said is so right!" Emile Perel continued to compliment: "A country without strength will not be respected by other countries. We must show the strength of France to the outside world, so that they can afraid of us."

"I was thinking..." Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be hesitant. "If the Legislative Assembly rejects the military parade, can it be squeezed out from other places."

Only then did Emile Perel understand Jerome Bonaparte's intention.

Now that 2 million francs have been spent, Emile Perel doesn't care about continuing to spend money outside.

"Your Excellency, the Perel family is willing to help you!" Emile Perel said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"How could that be possible! I've already troubled you!" Jerome Bonaparte still had an expression of resistance.

"Your Excellency, consider my little contribution to France as a simple patriot!" Emile Perel hurriedly said to Jerome My mother in the name of patriotism.

"Mr. Emile, I didn't read you wrong! You are a true patriot!" Jerome Bonaparte gave Emile Perel a thumbs up, and then Jerome Bonaparte continued Said: "However, we can't let a patriot always spend money! The gentlemen of Paris should also donate their love enthusiastically!"

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Emile Perel hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Emile, in the next period of time, I will invite gentlemen from all walks of life in Paris to come to the Elysee Palace! At that time, I need you to cooperate with me..." Jerome Bonaparte told Emile Perel Said his plan.

Emile Perel's expression was a little surprised. He didn't expect the president to use this method to raise funds.

"After the event is completed, the money you donated will be returned in full! The remaining money will be used for the cost of the military parade!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled at Emile Perel.

"Your Excellency, I voluntarily contribute to France's national defense construction!" Emile Perel quickly stated that he would dare to take the money back.

"Then I thank you for your generosity on behalf of the French soldiers!" Jerome Bonaparte resumed his serious expression, Emile Perel couldn't guess what Jerome Bonaparte was thinking: "That's right. , Mr. Emil, please pay attention to the latest railway bonds!"

"Huh?" Emile Perel heard Jerome Bonaparte's subtext.

Emile Perel's guess coincided with what Jerome Bonaparte said next, and Jerome Bonaparte said meaningfully: "It is very likely that railway bonds will fluctuate greatly! "

Railway swings!

Emile Perel realized that this was an opportunity given to him by the president to make a fortune. Every fluctuation would result in a sharp rise or fall in the stock market. The rise and fall of the capital market is an uncontrollable factor, but the artificial rise and fall can be controlled. As long as bankers can accurately "predict" the rise and fall of bonds, they can determine whether bonds need to be increased or shorted.

In the Paris exchange, an accurate information can often increase the assets of a bank by millions or tens of millions.

After the revolution in 1848, some bankers who suffered heavy losses eagerly used the information disclosed by the government to buy low-priced government bonds sold by the citizens of Paris. The tricks made them not only did not lose money, but increased a part of their assets, and the petty bourgeoisie in Paris became their perfect pick-up man.

"I understand!" Emile Perel nodded to show his understanding. He decided that if he made money this time, he would hand over most of the earnings to Jerome Bonaparte to thank the president for providing intelligence.

The two also talked about the construction of the railway in Paris.

As night fell, Emile Perel was invited to the restaurant to dine with the President at the behest of Jerome Bonaparte.

After the meal, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Emile Perel to be sent back.

In order to relieve the sudden depression in his heart, Jerome Bonaparte took the night, accompanied by Pesigny, to the riverside of the Seine.

The moonlight shines on the sparkling Seine River, which is extraordinarily peaceful.

In the night, the banks of the Seine River are still shining with stars. Ships are moored here. Boxes of valuables are loaded from here and sent to Calais through inland rivers, and then Calais is transported to all parts of the world.

"Persini, have we taken control of the entire Paris newspaper industry!" Jerome Bonaparte, who was carrying Persini's back, said calmly in the endless waters of the Seine .

"Thanks to you, most of the newspaper offices in Paris are directly or indirectly controlled by us! The entire Paris newspaper office is under your control!" Pessini said humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"What about word of mouth? How about the word of mouth of the newspapers we control?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

After hesitating for a moment, Pessini reorganized his language and said, "Some are good, some are bad! But most of the newspaper reviews are not bad!"

"I need you to spread the news that will unrest Paris!" said Jerome Bonaparte to Pessini.

The most valuable thing in Paris is news, and the cheapest is also news.

A good news can make people money, a wrong news can also make people bankrupt.

"You mean to walk some fake news?" Pessini asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"That's right! Some fake news! For example, there may be a revolution in Lyon in the south, the red elements are planning to start an uprising again, and the Prince of Joanville may be sent back to France to overthrow the Republic..." Jerome Bonaparte to Pesigny Listed many interests one by one, and then encouraged: "Don't be afraid of the authenticity of the news, we are going to put the whole of Paris into panic!"

No one knows the crisis of rumours better than Jerome Bonaparte.

In later generations, even if the official refutes the rumors in person, many people still believe in their own judgment, and they will only think that the government deliberately covered it up.

All of this is ultimately a question of the credibility of the government, but the credibility of the French Republic may only be worse than that of later generations.
