Chapter 3360 Not a Philanthropist

Ten minutes later, Nanatsuki Yueshui walked out of the cloakroom in loose pajamas, walked quickly to the sofa and sat down, reached out to take the sheep pillow on the sofa, held the sheep pillow in his arms, and looked at Chi Feichi expectantly, "I'm ready!"

Chi Feichi had also changed out of his dress in the bedroom. Although he felt that the story he wanted to tell was not like a bedtime story, he didn't mind Nanatsuki Yueshui listening to it as a bedtime story. He sat next to Nanatsuki Yueshui and told the story he heard from Jian, "The background of the story is just like what you said just now. Mayer sent his third son Nathan to the UK, and Nathan used bonds and stock trading to gain a foothold in London and opened a bank. After that, Nathan provided military funds for the UK and maintained close relations with military and political leaders. At the same time, he started to build Rothschild's logistics network and intelligence network among the people, and used wealth to buy and cultivate a large number of informants..."

At the same time, Nathan's other four brothers were scattered in four other countries, doing the same thing as Nathan.

In just a few years, Rothschild established a transnational logistics intelligence network. Rothschild Bank's informants were spread all over the country, helping Rothschild's caravans to transport various goods across the border, and also quickly and accurately conveying intelligence from all over to Rothschild.

Because Rothschild was well-informed, not only far surpassing other peers, but even surpassing official agencies of various countries, he was once called "the all-knowing Rothschild".

In 1815, when the Battle of Waterloo took place, an informant of Rothschild witnessed the battle with his own eyes. After confirming that Napoleon's army was defeated, he rushed to London overnight and told Nathan the news of the French army's defeat.

At that time, many people in the London Stock Exchange were nervously waiting for the result of the war. If Britain won, then British government bonds would soar, and if Britain lost, then British government bonds would fall into the abyss.

After Nathan got the news from the informant, he immediately took people to the exchange and asked his men to start selling British government bonds.

After Nathan sold a large number of bonds, British bonds also began to fall rapidly. Others believed that Rothschild was well-informed. Seeing Nathan doing this, they guessed that Britain had failed and began to sell their British bonds in a panic, causing British bonds to fall to the lowest point.

Then, Nathan began to have people buy a large number of British bonds that had fallen to the lowest point.

A day later, the news of the "French defeat" was officially transmitted to London, and Nathan had used this information gap to increase his wealth by 20 times, and became the largest creditor of the British government, holding the right to issue currency in his hands, and thus holding the economic lifeline of Britain.

After that, Nathan's other three brothers also used various means to control the economic lifelines of Austria, Italy, and France. Together with Nathan and their eldest brother in Frankfurt, the five brothers established a financial empire belonging to Rothschild on the European territory.

"At the same time, more and more people hate them," Chi Feichi said calmly, "because the military expenditures they provided to various countries in the past actually encouraged confrontation between countries and made the war more intense. Perhaps the two countries that could have reconciled long ago would have confidence because of the economic support they provided, prolonging the fighting time and causing more people to die in the war meat grinder. After the war, they obtained national debts and the benefits brought by financial means in the war, and controlled the economic lifeline of various countries. Some people lost their families in the war and were oppressed by their financial empire, so they naturally felt resentment."

Yoshimizu Nanatsuki listened carefully, "So, when the world war broke out again, Rothschild's industries in various countries were greatly impacted, right?"

"Yes, during that period, Rothschild's industries in various countries were hit hard. After this multi-national financial empire was broken, some people got the opportunity to develop and entered the financial market, filling the market gap left by Rothschild's withdrawal. The financial business of Field Group was also "It developed rapidly during that period," Chi Feichi continued, "After that, Rothschild became low-key, allowing the family to fade out of the public eye. In addition to Rothschild, other families that controlled finance were affected by the war. These families also kept a low profile like Rothschild. Moreover, because these families had invested in the United States long ago and some people believed that the United States was a fertile land, after the industries in Europe suffered some losses, these families gave up some European financial markets and focused their development on the United States. Warburg was among them..."

Yoshimizu Nanatsuki reached out and picked up the cold herbal tea on the table, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said thoughtfully, "Then, they established a financial empire in the United States, right? The right to issue US currency is not in the hands of the US federal government, but in the hands of several large and small shareholders of the Federal Reserve. This situation is somewhat similar to Nathan's control of the British economic lifeline, except that the US market is larger and can accommodate other forces to participate in it, and no family will dominate it alone. "

"Not only the right to issue currency, but also gold," Chi Feichi reached out to take the cigarette box he had put on the table before, took out a cigarette from the box, and said calmly, "If you want to control the country's economic lifeline, you can't just control the currency, you must also control the gold market. When Nathan was in the UK, he controlled not only currency, but also gold, and the same is true for other families."

Yueshui Nanatsuki was surprised and curious, "When these families shifted their development focus to the United States, did they also bring a lot of gold to the United States?"

"These families want to enter and occupy the US financial market, and they must have invested at the beginning," Chi Feichi reached out to take the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and didn't rush to light it, "I don't know the details of their investment at the time, but if it were me, I would definitely give priority to using the currency brought from other countries, followed by what Europe had and the United States lacked at the time. As long as there is start-up capital, you can get more funds by opening a bank and trading securities. Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need to use more valuable gold..."

Yueshui Nanatsuki was a little stunned, and silently reflected in his heart that he was still too honest.

Chi Feichi stood up with a lighter and a cigarette, walked to the window, opened the window a little, and looked at the brightly lit city night view outside the window. "Besides, capitalists are not philanthropists, and these families are even less likely to be philanthropists. As far as I know, in addition to the Rothschilds, there are two or three other financial families that have provided military funds for some countries and forces during the war. Even if we don't mention the past, these families are not very clean now. Take the Warburg family we have contacted for example. The Warburg branch operates their banking system in Switzerland and other countries. As long as customers are willing to pay high management fees and service fees, these banks can provide customers with strict personal information confidentiality services. Even the police of various countries and Interpol may not be able to easily investigate bank customer information. In addition, these banks do not have too strict reviews and restrictions on transactions and transfers. Therefore, a large amount of funds from illegal crimes flow into it every year, and the Warburg branch bank is also jokingly called the Dark Canyon by some people, which means that as long as criminals put criminal funds into the canyon, it is difficult for police from various countries to trace the whereabouts of the funds, and people never know how much criminal funds are hidden in the Dark Canyon, they only know that it can easily swallow anyone. "

"The existence of the Dark Canyon has brought great resistance to the police's fight against crime," Nanatsuki Koshimizu frowned and analyzed seriously, "In this way, it will also indirectly increase the crime rate in various countries, right? Those banks can provide criminals with criminal funds flow channels, which makes it easy for potential criminals such as robbery and kidnapping to become criminals, and will make some people who are hesitant to commit crimes choose to commit crimes, and will also make it easier for some people with ulterior motives to drag others into the water..."
