Chapter 181： On Banker's Responsibility

Although the bankers present were unhappy with the attitude of President Jerome Bonaparte's forcible apportionment, none of them wanted to make the uncrowned king of France angry.

Especially at this juncture, although they hold the financial lifeline of the country and are called uncrowned kings by the Paris newspaper, their power is too fragile compared with those who really hold the power, and all their threats are just to sell stocks Cause a chain reaction in the securities market, and then put a regime at risk of instability, but I can't guarantee that my life will survive before the regime's instability.

If money is gone, you can make more money, but if people are gone, everything will be empty.

The old foxes present did not agree or oppose Jerome Bonaparte. They waited for a "early bird" to help them test the president's bottom line.

As time passed by, the old foxes were still quietly waiting for someone to happen.

"Mr. President, of course we are willing to contribute to the defense of France, but..." This was a young man about the same age as Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help speaking.

This is James Rothschild's eldest son, Alphonse de Rothschild, who is also the successor of the French branch of the Rothschild family.

Since the older generation has not yet passed away, a new generation of young talent has taken the stage for the first time (Lionel Rothschild), and the helm of the Rothschild Bank is still James Rothschild, until James Rothschild After the death of Germany's mother, Leonel Rothschild, who had accumulated strength, proposed to separate the family, and James Rothschild completely changed from an international bank to a semi-regional bank.

Born in 1827, Alphonse de Rothschild was born in the "heyday" of the Rothschild family, and Alphonse de Rothschild himself was only a 22-year-old young man, which made him similar to the old foxes present. It is less cautious and more impulsive.

Had it not been for his father, James Rothschild, whose energy had already declined, and in order to prevent the French branch of the Rothschild Bank from being lost, James Rothschild intended to let Alvons de Rothschild gradually take over the family affairs, he would definitely Didn't get a chance to attend this dance.

His character is not calm enough, and he has become a bird in the expectation of all the old foxes.

"But what?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Alphonse de Rothschild with a smile. From Jerome Bonaparte's words, Alphonse did not feel Jerome Bonaparte's hostility. .

"But Mr. President, you must give a specific amount!" Alphonse de Rothschild also found himself a little impulsive, and he could only ask Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"The exact amount?" said Jerome Bonaparte with a finger deep in the room. "How about ten million francs?"

hiss!

The vast majority of bankers gasped when they heard the number.

For them, 10 million francs is not too much, and there is always some money to squeeze, not to mention that the money is not a share of one family, but is shared equally among the major bankers.

But the bankers present subconsciously regarded Jerome Bonaparte as a passer-by in the presidency.

If they pay Jerome Bonaparte's so-called 10 million francs, then the presidents after Jerome Bonaparte will probably follow suit.

If every term is like Jérôme Bonaparte, their bankers will probably be turned into government cash machines.

It's not the bank's job to send money to the president!

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this will not work!" Alphonse de Rothschild politely declined Jerome Bonaparte's proposal: "I think you know that our family has many investment projects, and the money on hand is not enough. Affordable, let alone 10 million francs, I am afraid there is not even 1 million francs!"

What a joke! Back then, the Rothschild family started out in the antiques business and rose from the bottom (really), in order to survive, they had to work for politicians and were blackmailed by politicians. Wouldn't this become kneeling begging? The Rothschild family will never do such a business.

"I heard that the Rothschild family is sitting on a golden mountain!" Jerome Bonaparte was still teasing Alphonse de Rothschild with a smile, and he wanted to let Alphonse de Rothschild taste it. What is the French prison.

Damn it, is there any country more tolerant of bankers than ours?

Without a country, where would they come from these bankers!

Now the president has something to do, but he stands by and does not know what to pay back!

"We don't have any gold mountains, they all belong to them!" Alphonse de Rothschild quickly "clarified" the rumors of Jerome Bonaparte, and said innocently: "Your Excellency, the bankers are all Vulnerable groups? We just take care of those users. Not only do we have to pay interest, but also do our best to ensure their property and appreciation! Although we also love this country, we can't take damage to the interests of our customers as a criterion! "

Alphonse de Rothschild looked embarrassed, and in his words bankers became vulnerable.

However, according to Jerome Bonaparte's understanding, most of the Austrian bonds circulating on the Paris Stock Exchange came from the bank in front of this so-called customer-oriented Alvons de Rothschild.

As we all know, after the Napoleonic Wars, the credit level of Austrian bonds was not even as good as the waste paper in the toilet, so James Rothschild dared to package him into so-called sound bonds.

If the Austrian Empire had not relied on a powerful prime minister at home in 1848, the Russian Empire abroad barely kept the empire from being dismembered. to be hit hard.

By that time, Austrian bonds will be revealed, and the person who deposits the money in the Rothschild Bank will probably become an oil treasure and owe the Rothschild Bank a sum of money.

Rothschild Bank has always been as skilled as it can get when it comes to deflecting crises.

"That's right, Your Excellency! Our liquidity isn't great either!"

"That's right! Your Excellency, our bank also can't squeeze out any money!"

...

With Alphonse de Rothschild Jade in front, the remaining banks seemed to have found their backbone. They claimed to Jerome Bonaparte that all their money had been invested, and they couldn't squeeze out any money.

Of course, there are also a small number of the president of the Bank of France who is as stable as the Count of Tugogou and the quasi-Bonapartist allies who support Jerome Bonaparte. They are watching the group of colleagues with a good show attitude. Their cry poor performance.

Finance Minister Asil Fulder murmured in front of Mr. Magne, who was also an ally of the banker: "There's a good show!"

Mane showed a stunned expression, and then a chill went straight through her spine into Mane's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Your Excellency, I don't mean to...

Saying that, Mane subconsciously glanced at the door. Through the gap in the door, Mane saw the figure outside the gap, and he showed a fearful expression.

Asilfold patted Mane on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry," with his lips.

Jerome Bonaparte put on an indifferent face and listened quietly to the banker's "crying."

Until the bankers noticed that His Excellency's expression did not seem to have changed, they also realized something.

For a while, the entire reception room fell silent.

"Speak! Go on! I'm listening!" Jerome Bonaparte sneered. He glanced at all the bankers present and said, "I can tell! You all have difficulties!"

The bankers were too frightened to say a word by Jerome Bonaparte.

"Alphonse de Rothschild, right?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his eyes to the "initiator of everything Alphonse de Rothschild realized that he seemed to have provoked an unreasonable person." , he could only bite the bullet and respond: "Yes! Your Excellency the President! "

"As far as I know, your Rothschild bank invests the most in railway bonds! Why is there no money now!" Jerome Bonaparte asked him in a calm tone.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Alphonse de Rothschild may be out of luck, and the president may be overwhelmed by power.

Alphonse de Rothschild was shocked. He didn't understand why His Excellency the President knew about their family's situation.

Could it be that the president was eyeing their house early in the morning?

An ominous premonition poured into Alphonse de Rothschild's heart, he swallowed hard, and subconsciously glanced at the door.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out of this door today!

"It is precisely because we support His Excellency the President's policy of building railways that..." Alfons de Rothschild quickly remedied: "Our family is willing to serve France's defense policy!"

"No need! Monsieur Alphonse de Rothschild!" Jerome Bonaparte interrupted Alphonse de Rothschild's defense coldly: "I, the president, have no need to stand against the French people!"

Jérôme Bonaparte's words chilled the hearts of all the bankers, who were equally aware that things seemed to be headed in an unfavorable direction.

Jérôme Bonaparte clapped his hands gently, and under the terrified eyes of the banker, Paris Police Chief Carlier led several policemen to cooperate with Attorney General Rouet to enter the door.
