The First Thousand and Ninety-Nine Chapters Finally Show the Sword to the Rothier Family
After listening to David Roshir's remarks, the expressions of everyone present became very solemn.
The situation of the Rothier family in France has indeed reached the most dangerous point!
At this time, Guy Rosier suddenly said slowly in an old voice: "Now we have not lost the last chance to resist, we still have some time. Although this time we will definitely lose a lot, but before the last moment, You still have to find a way to preserve your strength as much as possible, even if you only save a fire in the end!"
"The bigger crisis before, our family has come through, and now it's just the French side that has a problem, I believe we will be able to get through this crisis!"
Everyone present nodded, and the dignified atmosphere in the hall became a little more relaxed.
"If, according to David, the Bourbons, the Orleans and the Bonaparte families have temporarily put aside competition and have reached an agreement on the issue of dealing with our families, then our allies in France will certainly not be able to stop them."
"Our power and contacts are not in France. Even if we ask people from other countries to help, it will not have much effect, and the price will definitely not be low. There are also huge secondary risks."
"I think the only way for us is to start at the level of the French government, especially President Francois Mitterrand!"
"The policy of nationalization of the enterprise is under the leadership of him. If he can subdue Bourbon and other families, he will definitely open a channel of life for us!"
Liszt Rothier pushed up his glasses and squinted and analyzed.
David Rothier sighed, shook his head and said, "We have already tried it, but François Mitterrand's attitude is perfunctory, and he does not want to have another encounter with Bourbon, Bonaparte and other families because of our family. disagreements."
"Now his Socialist Party has a very strong control over the French political arena, and other parties can't pose a threat to him at all, so the chips we can come up with now can't impress him!"
"Even if we agree to privatize him, just want to keep the name of Edmond Rothschild Bank and get a banking license again, he will not agree!"
Sidney Roshir frowned for a moment and then suggested, "Is money useless?"
David Rothier shook his head and said: "He doesn't talk to us about money at all. He should understand that families such as Bourbon and Bonaparte, and other parties in politics are watching him, so he is worried that there will be huge Political risk."
...
As everyone continued to suggest and analyze, the opinions of the last nine people were unified.
First and foremost, part of the shares of Thomson Group and Rhone Planck Chemical Group will definitely not be preserved, and these two giant industrial companies will definitely be nationalized by the French government.
But we can't just sit back and watch, so two options were discussed.
The first plan is to see if the equity can be transferred to others in a short period of time.
The second plan is as a supplement. If no one takes over, then you must get as much compensation back as possible from the French government.
Then there is the Bank of Edmund Rothschild, the backbone of the family in France, which must be preserved as much as possible.
If you can't keep it, the bottom line is to keep the name ownership and keep a bank license.
After World War II, it took a huge cost to let Rothier Bank re-enter France,
If you are kicked out this time, you will have to re-enter the next time. It will be difficult and a huge price will be paid.
To be able to keep the name ownership and bank license now is a huge strategic victory, and it can also save a fig leaf for the family.
Otherwise, if it is completely cleaned up, the Rothschild family will be swept away, and other families in Europe will also have some thoughts that they should not have!
At that time, the family will usher in a series of troubles!
"Uncle Guy, David, France still needs you to fight for the Lord. I will coordinate and mobilize family resources to give you full support!"
After Jacob Rothier finished speaking, he looked at the others, his expression became solemn, and said, "And everyone, you must be more vigilant after you go back, and increase your penetration into the political field."
"Although countries are vigilant against us, this is not the reason for us to give up political influence. What is happening in France now has given us a wake-up call!"
"The UK is now going through privatisation reforms, which is a good phenomenon, but France is leading the way in nationalisation reforms, the rest of Europe is watching, we absolutely have to avoid other countries catching up with France, that's the biggest political risk !"
After listening, everyone nodded solemnly.
...
After the meeting, everyone hurried back to their respective territories.
In particular, Guy Rosier and David Rossier convened their family members and think tanks in France to discuss after returning.
Then on January 23, they once again visited François Mitterrand in private, but the result of the visit disappointed them.
After Guy Rosier and others left, François Mitterrand picked up the encrypted phone and called Xia Yu who was reading at home, telling Xia Yu that the time was ripe and the time for operation was running out. More, there is still half a month to be completely settled!
So, on the morning of January 24th, Xia Yu asked Leo Martin to send a greeting to Edmond Rothschild Bank in the name of the Bright Fund, and the visiting person was Guy Rothier!
Guy Rosier was very surprised when he received the invitation from the Bright Fund, but he also knew that there was Xia Yu behind the Bright Fund, and during this time, the Bright Fund made a big news in France.
Although he didn't know what he was visiting, Guy Rosier solemnly replied to the Bright Foundation, and set the meeting place at the Rosier family's residence in Paris, France, to show his importance.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on January 25th, Xia Yu brought Li Wuming and other bodyguards to the Rothier family's luxurious manor in Paris on time!
"Mr. Xia, you are welcome!"
"I'm David Rothier, nice to meet you"
Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Rosier on his behalf, and said politely, "Hello, Mr. David Rosier!"
"Mr. Xia, my uncle is old and not very convenient. He is waiting for you in the living room now. Please forgive me!"
After listening to David Roshir's "explanation", Xia Yu sneered inwardly, but his face remained calm. He smiled and said "understanding", then followed Roshir on his behalf.
Sure enough, sitting on the sofa in the middle of the splendid living room was an old man with age spots and gray hair. Xia Yu recognized it at a glance, it was Guy Rosier.
"Mr. Xia, I'm Guy Rosier, I heard Jacob talk about you..."
...
After briefly greeting each other, Xia Yu sat on the sofa on the left under the greeting of Guy Rosier.
Guy Rosier and his nephew David Roshir are sitting on the sofa in the middle and on the right, respectively.
"Mr. Xia, this month, the Bright Fund is the focus of the whole of France. Congratulations, you have another company with great potential!"
Guy Rohir said with a kind face.
If Xia Yu didn't know how cruel Guy Rosier was, he would definitely think he was a kind old man based on his current appearance.
"thanks!"
Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "Mr. Guy Rosier, I just feel that the Bright Fund has been in France for so long, and there is still no company that can do it, so I tried to make a name for the Bright Fund, so as to catch up with you. The family's reputation in the financial world."
"As for whether this company has great potential, I can't say for sure. Who in the world can be 100% sure about the future of a company?"
Guy Rosier smiled and said meaningfully, "Maybe Mr. Xia can do it for you."
"From the perspective of your rise, you seem to have a pair of magical hands. It seems that none of the companies you fancy has ever lost money!"
Xia Yu hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Mr. Guy Rosier, you think highly of me, this is too exaggerated, I have also experienced many failures, but I am a person with relatively strong vanity, So it was deliberately hidden."
Guy Rosier smiled and didn't argue with Xia Yu anymore.
He asked softly, "Mr. Xia, do you have any business for us this time?"
Facing Guy Rosier's turbid eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, Xia Yu gradually restrained his smile, slowly shook his head and said, "There is no business for the time being, but this time, I feel that there is a possibility to have a relationship with you. A family partnership."
"After all, your family has helped me a lot in the past, and I have always kept it in my heart."
"We Chinese have an old saying, 'The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring'."
"This has always been my guideline in life."
"So even though your family didn't find me, when I learned that I might help your family, I took the initiative to come."
"Even if I can't help in the end, I'll try my best, and I won't feel guilty!"
Xia Yu's words were high-sounding, with a sincere look on his face, as if he really came to help.
But Guy Rosier, who had a ghost in his heart, or who clearly explained the situation, didn't take it seriously. He narrowed his eyes and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your enthusiasm."
"What do you want to cooperate with us in?"
Facing the glowing gazes of Guy Rothier and David Rothier, Xia Yu calmly said, "I heard that the French government seems to be planning to nationalize Edmond Rothier Bank? Is that so? "
As soon as Xia Yu said these words, the faces of Guy Rosier and David Rosier all turned cold, and Guy Rosier even looked at Xia Yu coldly for a moment, even though he immediately hid He got up, but Xia Yu still noticed it.
For a time, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became dignified.
Although Li Wuming, who was sitting beside Xia Yu, looked as usual, all the muscles under his clothes were tense.
