Make France Great Again

For Jérôme Bonaparte, if he could mine independently and transport the gold back, who would be willing to let others share the gold mine with him.

Since the United States of America was still in its early stages of development, deep-rooted local protectionism made it difficult for Jérôme Bonaparte to move the gold out without using official force.

If official power is used, it will inevitably cause strong rejection in the United States of America.

The reason is that the California region was a spoil of war between the United States and Mexico last year. Once mining is carried out in an official capacity, local American politicians will inevitably think that France will act as a troublemaker again as before, which will be even more unfavorable to capital plunder.

[From 1846 to 1849, the French fleet intervened in the Argentine Civil War, and before that, it fought in the Central and South Pacific against what is now French Polynia. If Great Britain is the first troublemaker, France can definitely be rated as the second troublemaker. 】

"Pure" capital must be allowed to enter California. Jérôme Bonaparte thought of Count Argu and his companions.

"Your Majesty, did you really discover a gold mine in California?"

The Count of Argoux asked Jérôme Bonaparte again, and then realizing the offense, he quickly added: "I did not question your meaning, I was afraid that you would be deceived by some irresponsible survey teams! I once heard that I have experienced many scammer survey teams, who used the guise of mining gold mines to ask for follow-up start-up funds from their employers, and then when the employers were unable to obtain funds for subsequent mining, these survey teams disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"They don't dare!" Jérôme Bonaparte sneered, as if saying to himself: "If they dare, I don't mind sending their families to America!"

Jérôme Bonaparte made a gesture with his sword raised and lowered.

In order to prevent the survey team from deceiving him, he chose surveyors who had families. Their wives and daughters were controlled by Jérôme Bonaparte in Paris.

Of course, this is only the first layer of insurance for Jérôme Bonaparte.

In order to prevent "danger" to the survey team, Jérôme Bonaparte also added a group of loyal guards to the survey team. They called it "protecting" their safety, but in fact they were monitoring them.

Most of these guards were the declining descendants of the empire and were loyal to the Bonaparte family. In addition, Jérôme Bonaparte's eldest nephew had never been masked. He believed that it would be difficult for these three forces to work together to deceive him.

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's unswerving response, Count Argoux decided to believe in the president's integrity, and his usually cloudy and yellowish light blue eyes burst out with fire-like enthusiasm.

A qualified banker can package worthless things (such as jade and diamonds) into high-end luxury items, and then attract a large group of people to pay for them.

Smart bankers can even create something out of nothing, converting non-existent assets into tangible assets in the form of stocks. In the end, tangible assets will go bankrupt due to poor management problems or debt problems, while bankers stand on the shore unscathed and laugh. Looking at the people who are struggling in bankruptcy, they sneer: "You are poor not because you don't work hard!"

A banker with great magic skills can even harvest leeks and at the same time instill some chicken soup for the soul into the people.

Of course, after the great wave of the times receded, people who woke up from the chicken soup looked at themselves "naked" on the beach, and the chicken soup lost its effect.

After confirming that Jerome Bonaparte's news was true. Count Algu has already thought of "hundreds of ways to speculate on gold mines."

As long as the president's mines can produce gold, he can use capital to leverage finance in France and even Europe, and countless investors will pay for their stocks.

As for how much gold the mine holds, it's not up to them.

Ouch! How can the group of gold diggers in the west be their opponents? As long as the price of stocks can continue to rise, then they will have enough artillery shells to attack those gold diggers.

"Your Majesty, how much money do you need!" Count Argu immediately told Jerome Bonaparte that his bank could fully meet Jerome Bonaparte's needs.

"Monsieur Count, please don't be anxious!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who brought the atmosphere to a climax, glanced at his pocket watch calmly.

After a while, a knock came from outside the door.

Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and said: "Please come in!"

The door opened, and Emile Perel, Magne, and Adolf Schneider appeared at the door.

Count Algu's expression was condensed. He understood that there would probably be a few more people at his dining table.

"Look! Our friend is here soon!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a sly smile, and Count Argu's solemnity had already been caught in his eyes.

For Jérôme Bonaparte, the more people who planned to join, the better.

In this way, he could recruit a large number of bankers to serve his plan.

Once on board Jérôme Bonaparte's ship, there was no possibility of disembarking.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Count Argoux moved from the desk to the sofa.

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and repeated to them what he had said to Count Argu.

Several people present had different expressions. Emile Perel and Magne were serious and excited, while Adolf Schneider showed a shocked expression.

"Your Majesty, what do you want us to do?" Emil Perel asked immediately.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had his legs crossed, said calmly: "I want you to do something big with me!"

Although Jérôme Bonaparte's tone was very calm, several people present could feel the President's restless heart from the tone of his speech.

"Your Majesty, can you explain in detail?" Cautious Adolf Schneider looked at Jerome Bonaparte.

"I plan to invite you to invest in a company with me, and then mine the gold mines in California!" Jérôme Bonaparte explained to several people present: "We can convert the gold mines into stocks. Sell ​​our stocks throughout Europe! As long as we have enough gold, we are not afraid that they will not have confidence in our stocks. Many countries have long had enough of the Russian Empire’s face!”

Having said this, Jérôme Bonaparte paused and looked at the group of "pioneers of the times" in front of him.

Since half of the world's gold mines come from the Russian Empire, Nicholas I, who owned the gold mines, had the power to price gold, so European countries had to tolerate this guy.

Of course, the country of the Tokugawa Shogunate has not yet been established, and European countries have always been in a hazy state about Japan.

Companies that own gold mines often attract the expectations of investors. In the minds of investors, a stock that owns gold means that it has security, no matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.

In general, Jérôme Bonaparte's first half of his thinking was not much different from that of Count Argu.

For Jérôme Bonaparte, the next step was the focus. He looked at several bankers present and then said: "According to the report of my survey team, the gold mines in California may exceed the existing ones." The total gold of all countries in the world (referring to Europe) is even more, and you should know what this means!”

The expressions of everyone present changed greatly.

If what the president says is true, the influx of large amounts of gold will inevitably impact the gold market value of Europe.

Due to the information delay in the European market and the American market, coupled with the speed of information circulation.

In the short term, the price of gold in the European market will not fluctuate due to the discovery of a large amount of gold in California.

"We need to acquire a batch of gold before the market has reacted! When the time is right, we will sell this batch of gold!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to several "pioneers of the times" present: "Just With the help of this thing, we can lower the price of gold again! Gold will inevitably withstand large fluctuations. Will European banks accept this fluctuation calmly?"

Count Argu shook his head subconsciously. Of course, the Bank of France would not like to see such fluctuations, which would affect the Bank of France's financial regulation.

Jérôme Bonaparte continued: "No, they won't! European banks will unite to suppress this fluctuation to stabilize the price of gold, but those "groundhogs" in California If we can't wait for the European banks to take action, I will collect the gold in their hands and sell it slowly. Every fluctuation will make the European banks pay for our actions!"

Jerome Bonaparte's blueprint made several people present swallow their saliva.

If Jérôme Bonaparte's plan really succeeds, then more than 100,000 miners throughout California will serve them.

Of course, this is also a method that takes into account the local autonomy of the American federal government.

The power of the central government of the United States in this era was simply not comparable to that of later generations. The power of the states was in the hands of the state governments, that is, the legislators they chose. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com

The price of bribing a congressman is many times easier than bribing a country.

If the United States could centralize power like France, then Jérôme Bonaparte's plan would be hit hard as soon as it took shape.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to obey your orders!" Magne immediately joined Jérôme Bonaparte's plan.

Emil Perel, Adolf Schneider and Count Argu also joined in after seeing this.

In order to complete Jérôme Bonaparte's plan, Magne contributed 8 million francs, Adolf Schneider contributed 6 million francs, Emile Perel contributed 10 million francs, and Count Argoux contributed 10 million francs. Jerome Bonaparte used gold mines as collateral to "contribute" a discount of 10 million francs.
