Make France Great Again

Text Chapter 175: Creating Panic

Jerome Bonaparte and Emile Perel discussed the company's operations and equity structure for nearly half an hour, and finally set the tone.

Émile Perel Bank invested 2 million francs to acquire a state-owned firearms company in Paris. Jerome Bonaparte took 51% of the company's shares in the form of technical shares and became the company's absolute shareholder. Operations are handled by Jewish professional managers.

In terms of company operations, the Jews are undoubtedly the top figures in the whole of France, and even in the whole of Europe. Jerome Bonaparte also has no worries that the company will be usurped by the Jews. The Jews of this era are still object of persecution.

Jerome Bonaparte alone knows no less than 10 pamphlets about darkened Jews in Paris. Part of the reason is indeed from Jewish bankers, but more of them are from fellow bankers in Paris. , they attributed all their faults to the Jewish bankers and called on them to act to eradicate the vampires entrenched in France.

Since France in the Second Republic is still the number one army in Europe (France thinks it is), class conflicts and ethnic conflicts are not too intense when the vanity of a big country can still be maintained. Many petty bourgeois in Paris did not join Criticize the ranks of the Jews.

After the Second Empire collapsed and the vanity of France was shattered by Prussian steel cannons, the class contradictions were completely exposed. Those bankers with ulterior motives united with some royalists to fabricate the lie that France was controlled by the Jews.

Under the guidance of the Dresden incident, France set off an anti-Semitic incident. The German and French board members of the Bank of France took the opportunity to attack the Jewish bankers.

In that incident, Jewish bankers suffered heavy losses and were almost excluded from the power center of the Bank of France.

Jerome Bonaparte against the background of Judas is not worried about the betrayal of the Jews at all. What an Austrian bewildered man can do 90 years later, he can also do.

The killing of Jews may have been a crime in the 20th century, but it was not punished in the 19th century.

The behavior of the colonists in the colonies during this period was worse than that of the Third Reich in the 20th century.

On the face of this transaction, Emile Perel suffered a big loss. What he paid for more than 2 million francs was not the company's equity.

However, in Emile Perel's mind, the account is not calculated in this way. He used 2 million francs to gain the monarch's friendship, which is simply a cheap deal.

The newly established company will also not be affiliated with Jérôme Bonaparte. Maintaining a clean image to the outside world is a self-cultivation of a president. He cannot be controlled by members of the Legislative Assembly. People are the white gloves that Jérôme Bonaparte quietly prepared.

Jerome Bonaparte, who finished handling his private affairs, turned to Emile Perel to talk about "official affairs": "Mr. Emile, I will hold a grand military parade in Paris recently!"

Emile Perel was taken aback for a moment, and said flatteringly, "That's really great! France needs an inspiring military parade!"

"But..." Jerome Bonaparte showed a disappointed expression, and his tone became dull: "The Legislative Assembly doesn't understand my painstaking efforts at all, they will only think that I am wasting taxpayers' money to satisfy Personal desires! How did they know that if France cannot show its strength to the outside world, those countries will turn into wild beasts and tear France apart. For them, a French Republic is a heresy, and it is also an object to be eliminated!"

"You are so right!" Emile Perel continued to compliment: "A country without strength cannot be respected by other countries.

We must show the strength of France to the outside world, so that they will be afraid of us. "

"I'm wondering..." Jerome Bonaparte pretended to hesitate, "If the Legislative Assembly rejects the military parade, can some be squeezed out from other places."

Only then did Emile Perel understand Jerome Bonaparte's intentions.

Now that 2 million francs have been spent, Emile Perel doesn't care about continuing to spend money outside.

"Your Excellency, the Perel family is willing to help you!" Emile Perel said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's impossible! I've already troubled you a lot!" Jerome Bonaparte still had an expression of resistance.

"Your Excellency, consider me a small contribution to France as a simple patriot!" Emile Perel hurriedly said to Jerome in the name of patriotism.

"Mr. Emile, I did not misread you! You are a true patriot!" Jerome Bonaparte gave Emile Perel a thumbs up, and then Jerome Bonaparte continued Said: "However, we can't let a patriot always spend! The gentlemen in Paris should also actively donate their love!"

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Emile Perel asked hastily.

"Mr. Emile, in the next period of time, I will invite gentlemen from all walks of life in Paris to the Elysee Palace! At that time, I need your cooperation..." Jerome Bonaparte said to Emile Perel Said his plan.

Emil Perel had a slightly surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect the president to use this method to raise funds.

"After the matter is completed, the money you donated will be returned in full! The remaining money will be used for the military parade!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled at Emile Perel.

"Your Excellency, I voluntarily contribute to the national defense of France!" Emil Perel quickly stated, how dare he take the money back.

"Then I thank you for your generosity on behalf of the French soldiers!" Jerome Bonaparte resumed his serious expression, and Emile Perel couldn't figure out what Jerome Bonaparte was thinking: "By the way , Mr. Emil, please pay attention to the latest railway bonds!"

"Huh?" Emile Perel heard Jerome Bonaparte's subtext.

Emile Perel's guess coincides with what Jerome Bonaparte said next, Jerome Bonaparte said meaningfully: "Railway bonds are likely to experience large fluctuations! "

Railroad swings!

Emile Perel realizes that this is an opportunity given to him by the president to make a fortune. Every fluctuation will cause the stock to rise or fall sharply. The rise and fall of the capital market is an uncontrollable factor, but the artificial rise and fall can be controlled In some cases, as long as bankers can accurately "predict" the rise and fall of bonds, those can judge whether bonds need to be increased or shorted.

In the Paris Exchange, an accurate information can often increase a bank's assets by several million or tens of millions.

After the revolution in 1848, some bankers who suffered heavy losses hurriedly used the information disclosed by the government to buy the low-priced national bonds sold by the citizens of Paris, and then sold them at the original price of the national bonds after the revolution stabilized. This method made their assets not only not lose money, but to increase a part, and the petty bourgeoisie in Paris became their perfect receivers.

"I understand!" Emile Perel nodded to express his understanding. He decided that if he made money this time, he would hand over half of the money he earned to Jerome Bonaparte to thank the President for providing intelligence.

The two discussed the situation of railway construction in Paris.

As night fell, Emile Perel was invited to the restaurant to dine with the president under Jerome Bonaparte's persuasion.

After the meal was over, Jerome Bonaparte ordered someone to send Emile Perel back.

In order to relieve the sudden depression in his heart, Jerome Bonaparte went to the riverside of the Seine accompanied by Pessini in the dark.

The moonlight shines on the sparkling Seine, making it extraordinarily peaceful.

In the night, the banks of the Seine River are still shining with dots of light. Ships are moored here, and boxes of valuables are boarded from here, and sent to Calais through the inland river, and then Calais is transferred to all parts of the world.

"Pessini, have we already controlled the entire Paris newspaper industry!" Jerome Bonaparte, King Jerome Bonaparte, who carried Persini on his back, said calmly.

"For your blessing, most of the newspaper offices in Paris are directly or indirectly controlled by us! The entire Paris newspaper office is under your control!" Pessini said humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"What about word-of-mouth? How about the word-of-mouth of the newspaper we control?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

After hesitating for a moment, Pescini restructured his language and said, "Some are good, some are bad! But most of the newspaper reviews are pretty good!"

"I need you to spread some news that can cause turmoil in Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pessini.

News is the most valuable thing in Paris, and news is also the cheapest.

A good news can make a person rich, a wrong news can also make a person bankrupt.

"You mean to spread some fake news?" Pescini asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"That's right! Some false news! For example, there may be a revolution in Lyon in the south, the red elements plan to launch another uprising, and the Prince of Joinville may be sent back to France to overthrow the Republic..." Jerome Bonaparte told Pessini He listed many benefits one by one, and then encouraged: "Don't be afraid of the authenticity of the news, we are going to put the whole of Paris into panic!"

No one is more aware of the crisis of rumors than Jerome Bonaparte.

In later generations, even if the officials personally refute the rumors, many people still believe in their own judgments, and they will only think that the government deliberately covered up.

In the final analysis, all this is a matter of government credibility, but the credibility of the French Republic may only be worse than that of later generations.
