"Mr. Emile, can you please tell me what your purpose is? If you do, don't you two brothers get everything?"
Augusta looked at the pair of Perel brothers with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand Emile Perel's mind.
If the Bank of Luxembourg belonged to her and Jerome, then Emile Perel and the others would be doing their jobs in vain.
If the banker is not for making money, is it for charity?
"Your Majesty, my brother Insac Perel and I are staunch Saint-Simonians like your Majesty (whose Emile Perel does not know, Jerome Bonaparte's Keynes) ism.)” Emile Perel responded devoutly like a Christian: “I think the role of banks is not only to make enough profits, but more importantly to alleviate and even eliminate poverty, A country full of poverty will only breed countless extremists!"
"Mr. Emile! If you really want to alleviate poverty, you should do charity!" Augusta said to Emile Perel.
Emile Perel shook his head and responded to Augusta: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! In the past many centuries, we have always relied on generosity and charity to alleviate poverty, but such The practice is always to treat the symptoms rather than the root causes, instead it will increase the burden on the society and lead to greater turmoil. Only by encouraging industrial development, so as to create more jobs, use science and education to not only make scientific progress, but even workers can participate in it. Share benefits in investing, plan retirement income…”
Emile Perel eloquently put himself in the position of a meat eater.
However, Queen Augusta is not disgusted by bankers like Emile Perel, because compared with those bankers who only know how to make profits, which leads to more people going bankrupt, Emile Perel's The speech is obviously much better.
"Your Majesty, the money my brother and I have earned over the years is enough to survive for generations, as long as our descendants don't spend too much money, so we hope to be able to do something meaningful to the whole society in our lifetime. !" Emile Perel responded to Queen Augusta with a solemn expression.
After pondering for a moment, Queen Augusta still smiled and replied to Emile Perel and Insac Perel: "Mr. Emile, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you the result immediately! Because the issue of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg does not Not a small thing!
But don't worry, I'll let you know the results right after I've asked the leaders of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg! Just be patient for a few days! "
"Your Majesty, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet us!" Emile Perel thanked Queen Augusta.
"Mr. Emile, I have benefited a lot from meeting you!" Augusta also responded politely, "I sincerely hope that society can have more and more bankers like you, now bankers. Most of them only care about their immediate interests and forget the country they are attached to. Some people even desperately want to hollow out the country. Don't they really know that once the country is hollowed out and collapsed, They're not much better!"
Queen Augusta's complaint made Emile Perel feel that it was very worthwhile for him to take his brother for this trip.
Emile Perel doesn't need the Queen's unconditional support for him, he just needs the Queen to favor them between him and the Banque de France.
Of course, it depends on the meaning of His Majesty Napoleon, who is far away in the Crimea peninsula, as to who the Bank of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is going to get.
However, Emile Perel is still confident that he can defeat the Banque de France.
After all, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is still an independent country.
Then, Emile Perel took out a beautifully crafted gift box from his arms.
Holding the gift box in both hands, he raised the gift box in front of Queen Augusta, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from me and my brother! Please accept it!"
"This..." Queen Augusta glanced at the closed gift box, and after hesitating for a moment, she refused: "Although I don't know what's inside, I'm sure what's inside must be of great value, so please allow me Reject it!"
"Your Majesty, please accept it!" Emile Perel still held the gift box in both hands and complimented Queen Augusta: "Only a noble person like you can have it!"
"Honorable? Maybe!" Queen Augusta smiled and whispered.
Now that Emile Perel has said it for this sake, if Augusta doesn't accept the gift again, it will indeed be a bit pretentious.
"Mr. Emile, I promise to accept your gift!" Queen Augusta said to Emile Perel: "However, I also hope you can promise me one thing!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Emile Perel responded to Queen Augusta.
"I hope you and your younger brother can accept the title!" Queen Augusta said to Emile Perel: "Your contribution to the empire is obvious to all, so please don't refuse this honor!"
Emile Perel hesitated for a moment. To be honest, he didn't particularly care about the title.
After all, being canonized as a baron won't bring him any benefits, but will make him suffer some malice in the social places of some nobles.
Some of them have no money, but there are nobles with particularly high titles, and they like to mock the bankers who are canonized as barons at banquets.
By the way, in the 19th century, French titles were like loans issued by a bank in a certain country. For those who really wanted titles but did not meet the standards, the issuance of French titles was always deducted.
For some people who have reached the standard of strength, the role of the title is not as good as the relationship between them and the monarch.
Especially after Jerome Bonaparte took charge of France, the way French bankers purchased government bonds has changed from one or two powerful bankers to the whole people.
When the imperial government's reliance on bankers was far less than it was in two generations of Bourbons, maintaining the relationship with the monarch was even more important.
However, in order to maintain the goodwill of Queen Augusta and the emperor, Emile Perel chose to accept it.
Later, Queen Augusta told Emile Perel that he would be canonized as a baron by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg!
Hearing the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Emile Perel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the Queen said that the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is not your majesty.
His Majesty did not ennoble them as barons in the name of the French Empire, but instead ennobled them in the name of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Is it implying something?
"Mr. Emile and Mr. Yinsack, I hope you two can do your part for the Duchy of Luxembourg after being canonized as nobles!" Queen Augusta almost nakedly hinted at Emile Perel and Yinsack . Perel Road.
Emile Perel hurriedly nodded, indicating that as a baron conferred by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, he should do his part for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but in what direction should they do their best.
"The Principality of Luxembourg will sell a batch of government bonds in the near future, mainly to improve the infrastructure of the Principality of Luxembourg! It's just that the situation in the Principality of Luxembourg is a bit complicated, and the interest rate may be lower, about 3%!" Queen Augusta sighed Tone said to Emile Perel.
For Emile Perel, the interest rate of government bonds issued by the Principality of Luxembourg is indeed a bit low (the interest rate in France is 4%-5% in the same period, the British Kingdom is 3%-7%, and if the Russian Empire is not afraid of death, the current interest rate is 10% %), but this also meets the conditions of the Principality of Luxembourg itself.
Because the Principality of Luxembourg itself has no resources other than forests, there is no other way to build railways and roads than to borrow money.
Of course, the citizens of the Principality of Luxembourg should arrive to rejoice that they have welcomed a "little dad" who will lead them on the road to making a fortune.
The French Empire can deduct anything casually, and it can feed the Principality of Luxembourg.
"Don't worry! I know what to do!" Emile Perel replied solemnly.
Afterwards, Queen Augusta chatted with Emile Perel and Insac Perel for a while, and from Emile Perel's mouth, Queen Augusta learned about his "great achievements" in the Austrian Empire. ” (The railway line from Prague to Budapest, second only to Vienna to Budapest, was taken from the Rothschild Bank of Austria). UU reading www.uukanshu.com
She reminded Emile Perel that investment in the Austrian Empire should not only consider economic factors, but also political factors.
After all, the relationship between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire will remain allied for a short period of time.
If you lose your alliance because of a small amount of money, it will be more than worth the loss.
Moreover, the Austrian Empire itself is also a country with relatively abundant resources, which is suitable for making money for a long time.
"I will pass on your words to the person in charge of Austria!" Emile Perel replied to Augusta.
With a knock on the door, the conversation between Queen Augusta and the Perel brothers (the whole conversation was with Emile Perel, the role of Insac Perel was to act as a background board) was also the same. It came to an abrupt end.
"Come in!" Queen Augusta responded while sitting outside the door.
The door opened and Mokar entered the room. After he glanced at the Perel brothers in the room, he showed a hesitant expression on his face, as if he had something to say to avoid the Perel brothers.
Seeing this, the Perel brothers hurriedly told Queen Augusta that they had been harassing the queen for a long time, and it was time to leave.
After finishing speaking, the Perel brothers got up and left, and Augusta ordered Mocar to send the Perel brothers out of the Tuinlery Palace.
