Chapter 197： Crowbar of capital

Since the funds used to invest in gold mines are too large, rushing the money into a newly established mining company will only arouse the hostility of local financial bankers in the New World.

Although the funds available to American bankers in this era are far less than the old bankers of the Old World, the bankers who have been entrenched in the Old World all the year round can take advantage of the local advantages and the foreign capital of the Old World to attack.

Although several of the "pioneers of the times" present were not afraid to engage in financial warfare with those bankers in the New World, they were also unwilling to fight against the local forces in the New World.

Once the two sides are caught in a protracted war, it can be a financial war of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

Those caught in the financial war may no longer have time to take care of the gold mining business, which seems to put the cart before the horse.

"I suggest that a bank should be established to manage this money!" Jerome Bonaparte put his hands together on his thighs, smiled and looked at the bankers present and suggested: "The name is Societe Generale, and by the way, it can be declared that this is a bank Investment Bank!"

"Societe Generale?" Emile Perel repeated Jerome Bonaparte's words, with a slightly strange expression on his face, as if there was a feeling that reminded him that the name of this bank did not match his character.

Jerome Bonaparte also noticed the change in Emile Perel's expression, and his heart was a little awe-inspiring.

He will not……

Jerome Bonaparte's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

A traverser only needs one!

"Mr. Emile, what's the matter with you? Why is this expression? Could it be that the name of the bank does not suit your heart?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Emile Perel in a "kind" tone.

Emile Perel, who had reacted, responded instantly: "Your Majesty, it's nothing! I just think this name has something..."

"Some what?" said Jerome Bonaparte, smiling.

"There are some indescribable feelings!" Emile Perel reluctantly spread his hands and smiled.

"That's it!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, Emile Perel's expression did not let him see any clues.

Looks like I'm overthinking it!

Jerome Bonaparte let go of his desire to get rid of Emile Perel.

Anyone who transcends the times will always leave a proof of his existence for himself, even if this proof is his unconscious move.

From the behavior and actions of Emile Perel, Jerome Bonaparte did not see anything beyond the times, which also ruled out the possibility of him being a transmigrator.

"Maybe you are destined to be the manager of this bank?" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and said to Emile Perel in a mocking tone.

Several bankers, including Emile Perel, had expressions of surprise.

In their view, the gold mine was discovered by the president, and the investment was collected by the president. Of course, the newly established bank should be the president himself. Even if it is not because the president cannot get involved in business due to regulations, it should be made by someone close to the president. As the president of the bank, so as to ensure the control of the bank.

Unexpectedly, the president decided to make Emile Perel the president of the bank.

"Your Majesty, I..." Emile Perel, who was stunned by the sudden pie, was incoherent.

"Mr. Emile Perel, I know what you want to say!" Jerome Bonaparte said softly, and then he looked at the Count of Argoux and others: "I believe in the ability of Mr. Emile Perel, you all There should be no opinion!"

"Since it is Your Majesty's Holy Inquisition, I have no doubts!" ​​Manet clearly agreed with Jerome Bonaparte's appointment

One is that Manet has just been nominated by the Count of Argoux to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Banque de France, so he naturally has to follow in the footsteps of the president unswervingly, and the other is that Mane, who is close to Asil Fould, can often hear Asil. Fould's praise for the Perel brothers is also very rare in France.

Magne believes that even without this appointment, the Perel brothers can also go far in the future.

History has proved that Manie's guess was correct. After the establishment of the Second Empire, Emile Perel established the Paris Movable Mortgage Bank with the support of Napoleon III, and the bank's starting capital was 63 million francs, and it was At a comparable speed, a large amount of funds were raised and the annual threshold of 100 million yuan was quickly exceeded.

To let someone who will handle hundreds of millions of francs in the future handle a bank with only 34 million francs is really a bit of a knife to kill a chicken.

Of course, the resources available to the Paris Discount Bank under the Emperel brothers at this stage are only about 30 million francs.

The Perel brothers, who have spent nearly 20 million for the president, have proved their loyalty with actions.

Magnet's remarks made bankers other than Argoux cast aside their concerns and support Perel as president of the soon-to-be-established Societe Generale.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too hasty to hand over such an important matter to Perel!" Count Argu euphemistically suggested against it.

It's not that the Count of Argoux does not believe in Emile Perel's ability, but that Emile Perel's "radical" policy makes him a little unhappy. He always feels that Emile Perel's "radical" strategy will substitute the whole of France. The abyss of debt.

"Monsieur Count, we need people who are brave enough to take risks like Monsieur Perel!" Of course Jerome Bonaparte understood why the Count of Argoux was against Emile Perel. The difference in financial philosophy will greatly affect the relationship between them impression.

In addition to his own reasons, the reason why Emile Perel did not become a board member of the Banque de France in history is that the Banque de France is filled with a large number of conservative bankers, who are afraid of Emile Perel being "radical" 's strategy would bring disaster to the Banque de France, so they did not nominate the Perel brothers to join the Banque de France.

Even so, the Perel brothers also seized the opportunity and almost used the Bank of Savoie as a crowbar to overthrow the Banque de France.

Who knew that Napoleon III, who was a supporter of Saint-Cyrism, turned into a financial conservative when he turned the offensive, otherwise he would request the Mortgage Bank to issue bank notes through the Bank of Savoie.

There was a scene where the ministers and other officials were about to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first.

"The New World is different from the Old World. They will not obey the rules like us. Overly conservative economic ideas will only tie our hands and feet!" Jerome Bonaparte made some compromises and said: "Let's let Perel first Mr. for a while! If Mr. Perel is really incompetent, we are removing him! So what do you think!"

Count Argoux was silent for a moment, he knew that this was Jerome Bonaparte's bottom line.

"Mr. Perel, I hope you can really make a breakthrough! In this way, the president's trust in you will not be wasted!" Count Argoux said to Emile Perel very seriously.

Emile Perel breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Count Argoux agreed to his appointment as president, and he hurriedly assured Count Argoux: "I will definitely live up to expectations!"

"Good!" Jerome Bonaparte applauds Emile Perel!

The remaining bankers also applauded!

After discussions with Jérôme Bonaparte, Emile Perel and others, it was decided to use Societe Generale Paris as the parent company to establish two subsidiaries in California and Mexico, and then the subsidiaries would cross shareholdings in the gold mining company. Funding completed.

"Don't be afraid to spend money! No matter how much it costs, we can make it back from those gold diggers! We want to open a route for gold transportation from California to France!" Jerome Bonaparte "encourages" Emile Perel Road.

"Yes!" Emile Perel responded to Jerome Bonaparte. He had already thought of a package of California's "special gold" plan, which was based on Jerome Bonaparte's original plan. advanced version of .

Speculate land with gold fever, and then implement a land enclosure plan in California After raising a certain amount of land at a low price, call for the establishment of a so-called "Gold Capital", which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange Listed on...

Emile Perel didn't know that his "real estate revitalization" plan would create a large number of unfinished buildings and countless bankrupt merchants in California. California, where only gold diggers were injured, would become A world where California is hurting.

The devastation caused by that crisis forced the federal government of California to investigate the origins of the housing bubble.

After multiple checks, they only tracked down the banking company in Mexico, after which the famous American Civil War began.

When the war started, everyone's attention was devoted to the war, and no one had a chance to take advantage of California's huge real estate debt hole.

...

Under the leadership of Pessini, he left the Elysee Palace from the Count of Argoux. He just stepped out of the Elysee Palace. After recalling everything that happened in the Elysee Palace, he silently sighed with emotion in his heart.

At the same time, he is full of expectations for Jérôme Bonaparte's plan. Being able to take into account "patriotism" while making money is simply the best.

Thinking of this, Count Argu got into the carriage

"Go to the police department!" Count Argu in the carriage ordered.

The carriage carrying the Count of Argoux departed from the Elysee Palace and quickly arrived at the police department.

Count Argoux, who entered the police department, was quickly greeted by the police chief Carlier.

"I have come to visit Baron James Rothschild on the orders of the President! Where are you now, Mr. Baron?"
