"No! Not the entire Rothschild family!"
Lionel Rothschild smiled and shook his head, and added in a plain tone: "It's me, Lionel Rothschild, who wants to make a private investment in Your Excellency the Prince! This investment only involves the two of us. personal!"
Lionel Rothschild deliberately emphasized the words "we are", seeming to intentionally remind Jerome Bonaparte that there was no support from the French branch behind this investment.
"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte was keenly aware that there was something in Lionel Rothschild's words. He (Jérôme) looked at him (Lionel) with great interest, and there was a trace of confusion on his face. An intriguing smile, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Is it not me that the Rothschild family is interested in?"
Lionel Rothschild shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said with a helpless expression: "To be honest, Uncle James of France doesn't like you (referring to the Bonaparte family)! Until now, he is still dreaming about the day when the Bourbon branch will grow To be able to ascend the throne again!”
[James Rothschild, the core member of the second generation of the Rothschild family. After the death of Nathan Rothschild, the core of power of the entire Rothschild family was in the hands of James Rothschild, 1856 After the death of Hannah Rothschild, Nathan Rothschild's wife, Rothschild split up its European operations. Lionel Rothschild's father was Nathan Rothschild. 】
Speaking of James Rothschild, Lionel Rothschild showed a cold smile: "My uncle is already old! How did he know that Louis Philippe, who was abandoned by the Paris mob, would never come back? Got it!"
Then, he paused and continued as if talking to himself: "No, he should know this! It's just that he doesn't want to face it!"
Jérôme Bonaparte quietly watched Lionel Rothschild's "personal performance". It can be seen from Lionel Rothschild's words and eyes that Lionel The relationship between Rothschild and his uncle James Rothschild does not seem to be so harmonious. There is a sense of "uncle is kind and nephew is filial", which is not like some later generations who forcefully fabricated Rothschild in order to promote foreign countries. The atmosphere of unity among the German family.
Jérôme Bonaparte can certainly understand Lionel Rothschild's emotions. If a family is united without internal strife, it would be truly a miracle on earth, especially a family like this that has mastered huge capital.
The core of family infighting is to compete with each other, not to undermine each other. A qualified family will control infighting to a basic limit and cannot cause the family to collapse due to infighting.
From the perspective of a later generation, Jérôme agrees with limited internal competition, and competition without a bottom line must be prohibited.
"So you want to prove your vision to your uncle?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Lionel Rothschild.
"That's right!" Lionel Rothschild nodded in agreement with Jérôme Bonaparte's inquiry. He clenched his fists and lightly knocked on the table. He said with a slightly ferocious expression: "I will spend my whole life. You should hide at home and take care of yourself, why come out and compete with young people for positions! The Rothschild family's business ideas and concepts must be reformed!"
Historically you do not seem to have replaced your uncle James Rothschild.
Jerome Bonaparte complained silently in his heart.
After James Rothschild took over as the leader of the Rothschild family, he served as the actual controller of the bank of the French Rothschild family until his death in 1868.
Lionel Rothschild's "rebellion" obviously failed.
However, Lionel Rothschild's leadership position in Britain was not lost because of "rebellion". From this point of view, this guy still has two brushes.
Jérôme Bonaparte is not optimistic about Lionel Rothschild's "rebellious" behavior this time, but it does not prevent him from cooperating with Lionel Rothschild. He will only win with victory. who cooperate.
He will help whoever wins!
Of course, Jérôme still had a little thought in mind. If the uncle and nephew really got into a fight, a huge Rothschild financial empire might really be wiped out in three generations.
"Okay! I agree with you!" Jérôme Bonaparte repeated what Lionel said orally: "Old people should just lie at home and take care of themselves!"
"We have the same view!" Lionel Rothschild took another sip of wine, and his expression seemed a little excited under the influence of alcohol: "I heard that you are going to hold an election, so I will Sponsor you!”
Lionel Rothschild held up four fingers and shook them back and forth.
"Four million francs?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked immediately.
"Pfft!" Lionel Rothschild choked at Jérôme's answer. He cleared his throat and then explained euphemistically: "Your Excellency, you really love to joke! I'm talking about 400,000. franc!"
"400,000 francs!" Jerome Bonaparte's expression changed from joy to disappointment.
For an ordinary family, 400,000 francs is obviously an astronomical figure. It is enough for a family to live on an annuity for a lifetime without food or water. Of course, this presupposes that there is no turmoil, because every turmoil will make a group of rentiers The class guy is facing the crisis of bankruptcy.
For Jérôme, running for president with 400,000 francs is obviously a bit of a financial constraint. Just the early publicity alone would probably cost a lot of money, let alone hiring people to wave the flag.
What a greedy guy! Just like his cousin!
Lionel Rothschild also cursed Jerome in his heart, and said with a sad look on his face: "Please forgive me, the funds Rothschild can use are only so much! This revolution has cost us heavy!"
I believe you!
Jérôme Bonaparte believed that the Revolution of 1848 had indeed given Rothschild a slap in the face, but as for saying that he could only use so much money, Jérôme could only express his gratitude and indifference.
"I understand the situation of the Rothschild family! After all, they have such a large amount of money, but they have no power to defend themselves! It is easy to be attacked by criminals. France is really too irritable now!" Jérôme said with a smile. The subtitles are serious, but the most vicious words are spoken on his lips.
Lionel Rothschild's face showed a trace of anger, and he raised a finger again: "500,000 francs, this is the largest amount of cash that Rothschild can use!"
