Make France Great Again

Chapter 198 James Rothschild surrenders

After hearing that it was the president's order, Callier quickly led the way for Count Argu, and the two soon arrived at the iron gate of the detention center where Baron James Rothschild was being held.

"Mr. Count, Baron James is inside!" Carlier, who was standing by the iron door, lowered his voice and said to Count Argu through the small window embedded in the iron door.

Count Argu looked in through the small window pointed by Carlier. James Rothschild, who was slightly stooped, was in the room.

At this time, he was facing away from Count Algu and looking up at the only window of the detention center.

After observing James Rothschild's condition, Count Argu ordered Carlier to open the door.

James Rothschild, who heard the movement outside the door, also ignored the scenery outside the window and turned to look at the iron door.

The iron door slowly opened, and the figures of Count Argu and Carlier appeared in front of James Rothschild.

Carlier half-bowed his body, showed a flattering smile and said to Count Argu: "Mr. Count, please come in!"

Count Algu nodded politely, and then said to Carlier in an easy-going tone: "Director Carlier, I need to talk to Baron James Rothschild alone. Please step aside!"

Carlier stepped back wisely, and only after he reached the door of the room did he say: "Then I won't disturb you!"

After that, Callie left the detention center where James Rothschild was held, and the iron door was closed.

Count Algu and James Rothschild were the only two people left in the room.

"What are you here for?" James Rothschild looked at Count Argu indifferently.

"I'm here to rescue you!" Count Argu sat on the edge of the bed and gently pressed the bed board with his hands: "It seems that you are in good condition now!"

"Humph!" James Rothschild responded to Count Argu with a nasal voice to express his dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Baron, do you really want to stay here all your life?" Count Argoux pointed out the window and asked with a smile: "As a companion of loneliness?"

"Your Excellency Algu, I believe that the president will not release me without reason!" Baron James Rothschild looked at Count Algu with a serious face and said.

James Rothschild would not believe that Jerome Bonaparte would let him go unconditionally.

"Mr. James, I only need you to pay some insignificant price for you, and you can leave this prison immediately!" Earl Algu emphasized again: "Only some insignificant price is required!"

"What price?" James Rothschild asked.

"In view of the difficulties in the transformation of France's industry...the president needs to effectively protect the employment of French workers..." Count Argu used a long, bureaucratic speech as a foreshadowing, leading to Jérôme Bonaparte's conditions: "The president hopes that Rothschild The German bank can actively donate and make a walking contribution to employment in France."

cut! In the end, it’s still about money! How greedy!

James Rothschild said with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Please tell your Excellency the President that the purpose of establishing the Rothschild Bank is to serve France, not to become your President's wallet! Even if your Excellency the President imprisons me here, I There won’t be any changes!”

"The bank will not change even if it is taken over?" Earl Argu suddenly asked.

James Rothschild, who looked calm, suddenly changed his expression: "Who? Who wants to take over our bank!"

"Who else could it be? Of course Mr. President!" Count Algu knew that James Rothschild's heart was in chaos from the moment he said he would take over the bank.

As a highly independent family bank, the shares of the Rothschild family are firmly in the hands of the direct and collateral branches of the Rothschild family. Only a small number of outsiders will own part of the shares of the Rothschild family bank. These equity interests do not pose a threat to the Rothschild family as a whole.

This also gave James Rothschild the confidence that even if James Rothschild was imprisoned, the Rothschild banking industry would not be controlled by outsiders.

The biggest problem is that James Rothschild loses the branch leader.

But once Jérôme Bonaparte sent personnel into the Rothschild Bank, the independence of the entire Rothschild Bank ceased to exist.

This is not the most terrifying thing, what is even more terrifying is...

"The President is thinking about whether the Rothschild Bank, which serves as the protector of inferior bonds, can still exist as an independent private bank!" Count Argu said with a smile on his face: "The President is thinking about whether the government should Invest in Rothschild Bank and completely transform Rothschild Bank into a public-private partnership!"

"No! The government can't do this!" James Rothschild's expression was slightly ferocious, and he loudly protested against the government's "despicable" behavior.

For James Rothschild, the so-called public-private partnership meant that the Rothschild family completely lost control of the French branch.

The state could take over the Rothschild Bank with only a small amount of money, not even a penny.

No one knows the French banking industry better than James Rothschild.

Once the government has the idea of ​​nationalization, both the traditional allies of the Rothschild family and the old enemies of the Rothschild family will donate generously to the government to help the government complete its reorganization.

It is even said that those so-called allies will stab the Rothschild family severely at the critical moment.

"Mr. James! The recent fluctuations in the bonds held by the Rothschild family have seriously affected the transactions on the Paris Stock Exchange. The president seriously doubts whether the Rothschild Bank still has the possibility to exist as a private bank!" Count Algo said slowly. responded.

"No, Rothschild's banking business has always been in a profitable stage!" James Rothschild quickly retorted.

James Rothschild, who had long been a second-hand dealer in Austrian bonds, certainly knew what those so-called inferior bonds were about.

Although there are more or less problems with those bonds, Rothschild Bank has not been brought down by the bonds. They still have a large number of high-quality bonds.

"Mr. James!" Earl Algu shook his head, and then sighed: "Don't you understand yet? It is not you who determine the bank's profits and losses, but the government!"

James Rothschild sat silent on his chair. He raised his head and said word by word: "The Congress will never allow the president's actions!"

"Parliament?" Count Argu laughed loudly, and then said seriously: "Now they can only hide in the Bourbon Palace tremblingly and point fingers at the government. Paris is under martial law! Anyone who hinders the president's actions will become a Traitors of France! It’s too late for Parliament to appease you now! Do you still expect those guys from such a Parliament?”

After the crackdown on gangs and the "assassination" of the president, the people of Paris were generally full of sympathy for the iron-blooded president, and the martial law order was passed smoothly without resistance from the people of Paris.

Before James Rothschild could recover, Earl Argu said to James Rothschild again: "Furthermore, public-private partnership can be carried out without parliament. Minister Achille Fuld is happy to do it." France contributes!”

Count Algu's naked threat made James Rothschild a little annoyed: "Mr. Count, are you going to be the president's lackey?"

"Mr. James, I will always follow the winner to enjoy the joy of victory!!" Count Algu showed a sly smile.

Count Argoux did not have any objection to the matter of acting as a lackey. In his opinion, neither Bourbon, Orleans, nor Napoleon could do without bankers like them who were loyal to the country.

In this case, why bother being a loyal and filial son of the family.

Even if Louis Philippe, his appointee as president of the Bank of France, is under no obligation to be loyal to Louis Philippe.

In terms of banker's integrity, James Rothschild's integrity is obviously much higher than that of Count Argu.

Even if his purpose in confronting the president is just to stabilize his own financial authority.

"By the way! Mr. James, there is a letter here. The president asked me to deliver it to you!" Count Algu placed the letter on the desk.

James Rothschild looked at Count Argu in confusion.

"Mr. James, I don't know the content of the letter either! The president said you should take a look for yourself!" Count Argou shook his head in response to James Rothschild.

James Rothschild immediately opened the envelope and spread out the folded letter.

After a while, James Rothschild's face turned livid after he finished reading. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lionel!"

The content of the letter is exactly the letter from James Rothschild's "dear" British nephew Lionel Rothschild. In the letter, Lionel Rothschild decisively betrayed James Rothschild. Regarding the matter of Germany writing to him for help, please find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. He hoped that Jerome Bonaparte would not "embarrass" his uncle James Rothschild too much for the sake of being in London. Virtue.

Only then did James Rothschild realize that Lionel in London was not willing to obey France's command.

Speaking of which, Frankfurt and Vienna are probably...

Thinking of this, James Rothschild's heart instantly fell to the bottom.

Is it inevitable for any strong family to split?

James Rothschild, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, had a bitter smile on his face.

"What are the conditions for your Excellency, President?" James Rothschild displayed the arrogance of a financial dictator. He knew that he was no match for a tyrant.
