Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

At a time when the shares of Haller's parent company of the American shipping giant "Captain" Vanderbilt were sold short, the biggest player in this short sale finally surfaced - the Mellon family.

​​

On November 23, 1868, the Mellon consortium invested $100,000 to publicly buy the Hudson Railroad and sell it short.

​​

After that, on the 24th and 25th, he invested another US$400,000 and US$500,000 respectively, totaling US$1 million for short selling.

​​

In this regard, Vanderbilt took his plan and let the rumors spread freely. He asked his broker to persuade Bei's broker to release water and transfer the stock.

​​

After the news spread on the market soon, the entire United States and Europe were shocked.

​​

"I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless"

​​

"A soldier never tires of cheating, and a stock player still thinks that people will use conspiracy every day to make you see through your trump cards?"

​​

"Seriously dissatisfied, Vanderbilt is defrauding the hard-earned money of the friendly shareholders of the entire United States of America."

​​

"Vanderbilt is worthy of being a giant in the capital world of the United States. This hand is superb."

​​

. . . . . .

​​

London, England.

​​

Lionel. Rothschild was also shocked when he first heard it.

​​

He let the Mellon family rush ahead to deliberately suppress the stock of Haller's parent company, which was acquired by Vanderbilt, and let Vanderbilt take into account the company's stock decline and loss of dividends. In this way, it wants to prevent the Hudson Railroad stock in the Vanderbilt market from getting in the bag. I originally thought that this approach of besieging Wei and saving Zhao and attacking itself to rescue the periphery was still very satisfactory.

​​

However, what he didn't expect was that Vanderbilt, an old fox, would have borrowed arrows and strength to buy a large number of short-selling stocks in his own company, and used the great reputation of the Mellon family to attract those with financial ambitions. Entered the short-selling market for the company and successfully attracted all the short-selling tickets with a Haller parent company.

​​

Vanderbilt went on to attract hostile short-sellers like a magnet into his designed fishing net, and finally closed the net and reaped a huge catch.

​​

While destroying the opponent's gunpowder in one fell swoop, he also made a lot of money.

​​

Lionel. Rothschild is even more alarmed to this day. This time on the Meilong family, he has shaken more than half a million dollars, although this is a drop in the bucket for the Rothschild family in London.

​​

But this money is not something that fell from the sky and was picked up for nothing. The food that was eaten was actually spit out. This goes against the practice of taking money for one's own use.

​​

At this moment, his financial butler hurried in, and suddenly, he brought him a lot of news, and even the mood that did not fluctuate greatly shocked.

​​

"Vanderbilt, how dare you play with me? Damn"

​​

Suddenly Lionel. Rothschild's blood pressure surged and he fainted immediately. The financial butler hurriedly called for help.

​​

. . . . .

​​

Paris France.

​​

James. Rothschild was received by Napoleon III at Versailles.

​​

James' face has always maintained the noble etiquette that he respected Napoleon III since he came in.

​​

And Napoleon III also gave enough face to the Dutch financial controller.

​​

Accompanying him to meet James was the French Prime Minister Olivier.

​​

"Your Majesty seems to be in good spirits recently," James greeted first.

​​

Napoleon III laughed, "There's no way, things are going well, I'm in good spirits."

​​

James. Rothschild smiled and said: "Yes, although the progress of the French Empire in the Far East is slow at present, due to your strong management, Your Majesty, it is progressing smoothly. It is said that it has eroded three-quarters of Cambodia's territory. But it is about to take the eastern territory of the Kingdom of Siam. At that time, France has Cambodia and South Vietnam and the attacking North Vietnam. The existence of colonies in the Far East immediately surpassed Spain's Philippines and became second only to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the British Empire. exist"

He said with longing on his face: "At that time, the French Empire will really become a colonial power in the Far East and manifest itself to the world."

​​

Napoleon III said with a trembling heroic voice: "That's right, but at present, the war seems to have entered a bottleneck. You know, as long as it is a war, it needs a lot of things."

​​

James. Rothschild said with a painful expression: "The factories under the Rothschild family are willing to help France produce 5,000 firearms and supporting ammunition for the large army"

​​

Napoleon III said helplessly: "You know, 5,000 guns are only enough to fight North Vietnam. The Siamese army in Cambodia has been transformed by Western weapons, and it is not what it used to be."

​​

James. Rothschild changed his gentleman's smile and looked at Napoleon III dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, is that really true?"

​​

Under his stare, Olivier, who had been very quiet beside him, suddenly helped Napoleon III to clear the siege: "Your Majesty James, Your Majesty has always been most concerned about the development of the country, so it is the most accurate to grasp the size of the country's needs, so His Majesty is also working hard. Be careful"

​​

James. Rothschild seemed unwilling to give Olivier, the prime minister, a glare, and then reluctantly compromised: "A total of 20,000 guns, in addition, we are supporting 200,000 pounds as France's military spending"

​​

200,000 military spending?

​​

Napoleon III's rapid brain operation was enough to add more than 5,000 new recruits to the French army, which is not a small number. However, this is only for pediatrics, not to meet James. Rothschild's focus.

​​

He winked at Olivier.

​​

Olivier understood that this made him make that more "excessive" request.

​​

The monarch told the subject to die, and the subject had to die.

​​

"Your Excellency James, currently more than 100,000 people in France are fighting in the Far East, and every year they need to use military expenses to eat, drink and Lazarus~www.readwn.com~ and more than 400,000 people in the mainland are waiting for military funds. So in terms of military spending, it is It's not that more support should be provided, don't get me wrong, we mean interest-borrowing government bonds"

​​

James' face changed slightly when he heard the words, looking at Napoleon III's expression of believing you could be a man, and Olivier's eagerness.

​​

James sighed, "It's not like we can't help."

​​

When Napoleon III saw James so sensible, his face immediately showed a happy expression, but he quickly put it away. When he saw Olivier, he was thoughtful and looked at James with vigilance. He instantly understood that this was Made a request?

​​

When Olivier saw that Napoleon III offered him to face him again, he could only stand up again and say, "Is there any problem with your Lord James? Maybe our government can help you solve it."

​​

James pretended to hesitate, finally sighed, and then slowly and reluctantly said publicly: "We have some business in the United States, you know that when we didn't give them New France, our family, Louisiana, the United States had a lot of business. business, which is now ruled by the Dutch, so I felt the need to break the Dutch monopoly and recapture the interests of the Rothschilds there, for which my nephew Lionel in England has spoken to the Netherlands several times. People have failed in the trick, so in order not to stop at the end, I think Your Majesty can help us for this."

​​

Napoleon III and Olivier looked at each other, as expected.

​​

"How to help?" Napoleon III asked.
