Make France Great Again
Chapter 389 The unscrupulous banker
"We are willing to do whatever we can for the empire!"
In full view of the public, Alphonse Rothschild, who had originally been expected by the bankers to fight against the government's oppression, decisively chose to kneel down under the astonished eyes of the bankers, and vowed to Baros: "As long as the government needs it, We, the Rothschild family, are fully capable of cooperating with all the government’s actions!”
After listening to Rothschild's "Declaration of Loyalty," Baros was confused for a moment.
My enemies become my teammates?
Baros, who originally regarded Alphonse as a tough guy, felt bored for a while, and then was immediately filled with joy. He looked around at the bankers at the table with sharp eyes, and from their different expressions, Baros got an answer.
Alphonse Rothschild most likely did not discuss his actions with the bankers present, otherwise they would not have shown such expressions.
Thinking of this, Baros couldn't help but feel refreshed in his heart, just like when you are thirsty and suddenly a glass of ice water is placed in front of you.
Immediately afterwards, Baros pretended to applaud Alphonse Rothschild: "Mr. Alphonse is right! The empire needs entrepreneurs like Alphonse who can share the country's worries! France also needs to show its support to Rothschild." A bank with such a responsible person as Dede Bank!”
Youdao was the person carrying the sedan chair, and Alphonse Rothschild also shamelessly praised Baros as a good minister and minister who took care of the country's worries, and then put on a preaching face that made all the bankers present. For the sake of everyone in the empire, he gave up his "little home".
Some of the bankers present felt extremely depressed after hearing that Alphonse Rothschild shamelessly flattered Baros and the emperor.
You Rothschild bankers have a big business and can reduce losses by borrowing from major European banks. Small and medium-sized banks like them do not have the risk resistance capabilities of Rothschild Bank.
If there is a slight setback, their bank will face the risk of bankruptcy.
Of course, the so-called small and medium-sized banks are compared with Rothschild's capital chain of hundreds of millions of francs. Any banker who can enter Baroche's wine table has millions, or even tens of millions. bank. What they say is no money is just that the capital chain is slightly unable to circulate!
But as long as they can stabilize the value of railroad bonds, they are not at risk of bankruptcy.
Baros's reprimand, Alphonse's reaction, and bankers' pessimism about state intervention led some bankers to start breaking out.
However, they still dare not point their fingers at Baros and yell at him for undermining the free economy. Feeling extremely aggrieved, they can only defend themselves in a low voice to express their protest against the government's freeze on railway bonds.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Alphonse, you are right. The chaos at the end of the empire has stabilized the market, allowing everyone here to make a lot of money! For reasons and reasons, we are all willing to work with the empire to support each other and come out of it. Difficulty, even if we sacrifice all our property for it!" One of the bankers first raised his voice and then declined and said to Baros: "It's just that when the empire does this! Why don't you tell us in advance so that we can have something to do? Get ready! Take my bank as an example. In addition to investing in railways, I also invest in national bonds, mines, and a bunch of factories under my control... These all require a lot of money to maintain. Once there is a flaw in a certain link, then I will This company will face the risk of bankruptcy due to shortage of capital chain.
There is no one to help us fight this risk, so we have to suffer the consequences ourselves. "
Several bankers who had experienced the same experience nodded in agreement, and then the banker lowered his head and said with a resigned attitude: "Since you, the Minister, have already said that railway bonds need to be frozen, then fine, I am willing to pay for the government. But we We don’t want the government to tell us the results rudely every time after everything is done! This makes us very passive!”
This was what the banker mustered up the courage to say. After he said this, his heart had already accepted the blow that Baros might give him next.
After a long time, Baros, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "Sir...sir, can I think you are just complaining to me?"
"Your Excellency, Minister!" The banker hesitated for a moment. He knew that this was the step left for him by Baros. He stepped back a little: "You can think of it this way! This is my little advice to the empire! We all long for it. A stable political environment ensures that our property and lives will not be threatened by mobs, but what we desire even more is that our freedom will not be restricted..."
What bankers mean by freedom is the ability to withdraw as they please.
"Sir, I don't want to discuss too much about the freedom you talk about, but if you think the empire is too harsh on you, then you can also go to a free country. The credibility of the empire is based on stability, if necessary Stability is better than freedom." Baros made a sad expression and looked around at the bankers: "I know that in your hearts you are not satisfied with the government's actions this time, but this is also for the sake of the overall situation. I can be like you Guaranteed, once the clouds of war clear, everything will go back to how it was before, and you don't have to worry about continued government control.
To be honest, we are also unwilling to do such offending things. It's just that this is a necessary means. I guess you, like me, don't want to see the newly established empire fall into civil strife again! "
Bankers who still remember the Great Revolution of 1848 are naturally unwilling to face that kind of situation again. The loss of funds is not only one aspect, but more importantly, it is also a threat to their lives.
Therefore, the bankers present were not very opposed to Baros' proposal to freeze railway bonds and only pay interest.
Valley/span As long as the empire is stable, they can continue to extract profits from France.
"Also, you can't keep your eyes on France! Eastern Europe and most of the world are an uncultivated and barren land! As long as the empire defeats them, you can run as much as you like!" Baros naked bankers present on time.
The bankers present immediately understood what Baros meant. As long as the shackles restricting France disappeared, they would not be able to attack foreign cities crazily.
"You mean... the empire will definitely be able to defeat the Russian Empire and then win?" The banker, who knew nothing about military affairs, asked Baros with doubts.
"I'm sure! Our army is fully prepared!" Baros nodded firmly and said: "During the war, the empire will produce a large number of orders and war bonds. These war bonds..."
Baros, who had long understood the war bond channel, deliberately whetted the bankers' appetites.
After hearing about the order and war bonds, the banker who was still worried about the approval immediately swept away the situation and showed great courtesy to Baros: "Your Excellency, can you let us operate those war bonds?"
"Yes! Can the war bonds be handed over to us?" Another banker also said.
Don't talk about them, even Baron Hottinger, who has always been an old man, couldn't help but want to get a piece of the cake. He coughed lightly. After hearing this cough, the bankers present The sermon fell silent, and they knew that Baron Hottinger was going to attack the "cake."
"Look at how decent each of you are!" Baron Hottinger first put on a preachy face to criticize the bankers present, then smiled at Baros and asked reservedly: "Your Excellency, Minister, I wonder if we can help with this batch of war bonds! We are very willing to serve the empire!"
Baros glanced at the "old and cunning" Baron Hottinger. So far, he has not expressed his stance, but he finally showed his "fox tail".
However, Baron Hottinger still does not have a clear position on the railway bond freeze issue.
Therefore, Baros also said vaguely to Baron Hottinger: "The empire will never forget those who have contributed to it!"
"Okay!" Baron Hottinger made up his mind. He first glanced at everyone present, then knocked on the table and said loudly: "I don't care what your inner plans are, but at this time, we must unite closely in the empire. Around! If you let me know who is holding you back..."
A sneer appeared on Hotinger's lips, and all the bankers, including Alphonse Rothschild, couldn't help but feel nervous.
This guy is no easier to deal with than James Rothschild!
Many bankers had just expelled James Rothschild with the help of the emperor, and in the blink of an eye they encountered another ruthless character.
"Okay! Everyone, I have said everything that needs to be said! The rest is up to you!" Baros also tried to smooth things over because he didn't want to make things so stiff.
"Eat! Eat!" Baron Hotinger returned to his benevolent look. He picked up the knife and fork again, cut off a piece of steak, and chewed it in his mouth.
The remaining bankers also picked up the tableware again and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. The banquet lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening.
The bankers left one after another, and Baros couldn't help but shook his head as he watched the bankers leave.
At 11:30 pm, Alphonse Rothschild returned to the mansion and told what happened in the Louvre Hotel in the study.
"That old guy Hottinger!" James Rothschild couldn't help but shook his head. He regretted his original impulse in his heart.
"Father, should we tell the Austrian side this news?" Alphonse Rothschild, Baron Hottinger, was more concerned about telling the Austrian Rothschild Bank this news than Baron Hottinger. He asked in a low voice.
"You are already in charge of the bank, you have to take care of some things yourself!"
