Hearing that Carlier, who was ordered by the president, quickly led the way for Count Argoux, the two quickly came to the iron gate of the detention center where Baron James Rothschild was being held.

"Mr. Earl, Baron James is inside!" Carlier, who was standing beside the iron door, said in a low voice to the Earl of Argoux through the small window embedded in the iron door.

Count Argoux looked in through the small window that Carlier pointed to. James Rothschild, who was slightly stooped, was in the room.

At this time, he was looking up at the only window of the detention center with his back to the count of Argu.

After observing the state of James Rothschild, Count Argoux ordered Carlier to open the door.

James Rothschild, who heard the movement outside the door, also turned to look at the iron door without hesitating to appreciate the scenery outside the window.

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

Carlier half-bowed, showing a flattering smile and said to the Count of Argu: "Mr. Count, please come in!"

Count Argoux nodded politely, and then said to Carlier in an easy-going tone: "Director Carlier, I need to talk to Baron James Rothschild alone, please avoid it!"

Carlier stepped back wisely, until he reached the door of the room before he said, "Then I won't disturb you!"

Having said that, Carlier left the detention facility where James Rothschild was being held, and the iron gate was closed.

Only the Count of Argoux and James Rothschild were left in the room.

"What are you doing here?" James Rothschild looked at Count Argoux indifferently.

"I'm here to rescue you!" Count Argu sat on the edge of the bed, pressing the bed board lightly with both hands: "It looks like you're in good shape now!"

"Humph!" James Rothschild responded softly to Count Argoux in a nasal voice to express his dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Baron, do you really want to stay here for the rest of your life?" Count Argoux pointed out the window and asked with a smile, "To be with loneliness?"

"Your Excellency Argu, I believe the President will not release me for no reason!" Baron James Rothschild looked at Earl Argu with a serious face.

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

"Mr. James, I only need you to pay a trivial price for you, and you can leave this prison immediately!" Count Argu re-emphasized: "Just a trivial price!"

"What price?" James Rothschild asked.

"In view of the difficulties of industrial transformation in France... The President needs to effectively guarantee the employment of French workers..." Count Argoux used Kang Chang's bureaucratic speech as a foreshadowing to introduce Jerome Bonaparte's conditions: "The President hopes that Rothschild Deutsche Bank can actively donate and make a walking contribution to employment in France."

cut! In the end, it's all about money! Really greedy!

The corner of James Rothschild's mouth showed a sneer and said: "Please tell Your Excellency that the purpose of the establishment of the Rothschild Bank is to serve France, not to become His Excellency's wallet! Even if His Excellency the President imprisoned me here, I will Nothing will change!"

"The bank is taken over and it will not change?" Count Argu suddenly said.

The calm James Rothschild's face changed instantly: "Who? Who is going to take over our bank!"

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

As a highly independent family-owned bank, the shares of the Rothschild family are firmly held between the direct line and collateral line of the Rothschild, and only a small number of outsiders will own part of the equity of the Rothschild family bank. And these stakes really pose no threat to the Rothschild family as a whole.

This also gave James Rothschild confidence. Even if James Rothschild was in prison, the Rothschild banking industry would not be controlled by outsiders.

The big deal is that James Rothschild lost the branch leader.

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

It's not the scariest thing, it's even scarier...

"Mr. President is thinking about whether Rothschild Bank, acting as the protector of inferior bonds, can still exist as an independent private bank!" Count Argoux still had a smile on his face: "Mr. President is thinking about whether the government should Contribute to Rothschild Bank and completely turn Rothschild Bank into a public-private partnership bank!"

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

For James Rothschild, the so-called public-private partnership was the complete loss of control of the French branch by the Rothschild family.

The state could take over the Rothschild Bank with little, not even a penny.

No one knows French banking 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 generously contribute to the government to help the government complete the reorganization.

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

"Mr. James! The recent volatility of bonds in the hands of the Rothschild family has seriously affected the trading of the Paris Stock Exchange. The President seriously doubts whether Rothschild Bank still has the possibility to exist as a private bank!" Count Argoux slowly responded with a sentence.

"No, Rothschild banking has always been profitable!" James Rothschild retorted quickly.

James Rothschild, the longtime Austrian bond dealer, certainly knew what those so-called shoddy bonds were.

Despite the more or less problems with those bonds, the Rothschilds haven't been dragged down by bonds, they still have a lot of high-quality bonds.

"Mr. James!" Count Argu shook his head, then sighed: "Don't you understand? It's not you who decides the profit and loss of the bank, but the government!"

James Rothschild sat silent in his chair. He raised his head and said word by word: "Parliament will never allow the president to act!"

"Parliament?" Count Argoux laughed, and then said with a serious expression: "Now they can only hide in the Palais Bourbon trembling to point fingers at the government, Paris is under martial law! Anyone who hinders the president's actions will become Traitors of France! It is too late for the Parliament to appease! Do you still count on those fellows of such a Parliament?"

After the eradication of crime 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 without the resistance of the people of Paris.

Before James Rothschild could relax, the Count of Argoux said to James Rothschild again: "Furthermore, the public-private partnership can be carried out without parliament, and Minister Achilfold is very happy to contribute to France. !"

Count Argoux'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 victor to enjoy the joy of victory!!" Count Argu showed a sly smile.

Count Argoux has no distaste for acting as a lackey. In his opinion, neither Bourbon, Orleans nor Napoleon are inseparable from these bankers who are loyal to the country.

In that case, why bother to be a loyal and filial son of a family.

Even Louis-Philippe, the appointee of his president of the Banque de France, was under no obligation to be loyal to Louis-Philippe.

In terms of banker integrity, James Rothschild's integrity is obviously much higher than that of Count Argoux~www.novelhall.com~ even if the purpose of his confrontation with the president is only to stabilize his own financial authority.

"By the way! Mr. James, here is a letter that the president asked me to pass to you!" Count Argoux put the letter on the desk.

James Rothschild looked at Count Argoux suspiciously.

"Mr. James, I don't know the contents of the letterhead either! The president said you should take a look at it yourself!" Count Argoux shook his head in response to James Rothschild.

James Rothschild immediately opened the envelope and unfolded the folded letterhead

After a while, James Rothschild, who had finished reading, turned ashen, he gritted his teeth and said, "Leonel!"

The content of the letter is exactly the letter from Leonel Rothschild, James Rothschild's "dear" British nephew, in which Leonel Rothschild decisively betrayed James Rothschild to write to him He hoped that Jerome Bonaparte would not "embarrass" his uncle James Rothschild too much for the sake of being in London.

It was only then that James Rothschild realized that Lionel of London was not willing to follow France's command.

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

Thinking of this, James Rothschild's heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

Is any strong family still inevitably divided?

James Rothschild, who was suffering from internal and external problems, showed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

"What are the conditions of Your Excellency?" James Rothschild lowered his arrogant head as a financial dictator, and he understood that he was not a tyrant's opponent.
