The Joseon Prince Went To America And Didn’t Return – 133



< Rothschild (1) >

Early 20th century.

The financial tycoons who commanded the Western powers shared one thing in common.

The point is that the information organization was run privately.

Even Lee Kang-man is like that.

Through Ikmunsa not only the Korean Empire but also the United States Europe Japan and even China.

Aren’t we dispatching people to almost every important country to acquire relevant information?

The same goes for Rockefeller who turned his head and became a member of Lee Kang’s family.

They were secretly receiving valuable information every month from their scholarship students planted in American politics and law.

Morgan who boasted the greatest influence in the American financial world cannot be left out either.

Through his network of financial institutions spread throughout the country he was able to obtain major economic news within the United States faster than anyone else.

Why are America’s three largest conglomerates and other high-ranking officials so obsessed with information?

The answer is easy.

Because information soon becomes money.

Isn’t this the 21st century an era where anyone can access and research relevant materials?

That’s why the world’s richest people have no qualms about paying huge sums of money to get information faster than others.

dripping-

“Baron this is Raphael.”

“okay.”

“Can I come inside?”

“then.”

The same goes for the Rothschild family who conquered the European continent.

The Earls of Rothschild who controlled the British economy spread their eyes and ears all over the political and financial world of the world’s greatest empire the British Empire.

And that’s not all.

The Baron has influence in the military the legal profession even the labor community and university student unions.

He has planted his people in all the places where information can be obtained.

Perhaps he was running an intelligence organization that was even more powerful than Lee Kang or Morgan Rockefeller.

At least for now.

“What are those documents you are holding? Oh was today Friday?”

“Yes that’s right.”

The Rothschild family received a weekly Friday report summarizing news from around the world.

This is a tradition that has been passed down from Mayer Rothschild who founded the Rothschild family.

As expected from the Rothschild family who had obtained information first during the Battle of Waterloo which determined the fate of Britain and France and had made a fortune in British bonds they were keen on collecting this kind of information.

Even though the Baron was approaching seventy he still maintained this family tradition by going through the papers with a magnifying glass every Friday.

“These are the documents you gave me. Did you give them to Walter too?”

“yes.”

“Yeah. How come Walter is reading these documents so well?”

“that is….”

As the butler hesitated Baron Rothschild furrowed his brow and said “Your nephew.”

No now he was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction with Walter who had become his adopted son.

“I have heard that Walter has been in frequent contact with Zionist intellectuals recently.”

What’s so important about Israeli independence?

Even if you focus on making your family name known and accumulating some wealth there isn’t enough time.

The Baron’s heart ached whenever he thought of his adopted son.

If his only son who passed away early had been alive he wouldn’t have had to worry about these things.

“Still I have to do my main job faithfully and stretch out my legs when I lie down. Tsk tsk.”

The Baron rummaged through his chest of drawers trying to find his magnifying glass.

The Baron who had found his glasses put them on the bridge of his nose and looked for his butler again.

“James.”

“Yes Baron.”

“I know you have worked for our family all your life. I am forever grateful for your hard work.”

“….”

“Please take good care of Walter too.”

James looked slightly embarrassed.

Looking at the butler Baron Rothschild took the documents he was holding.

“How much longer do I have to live? I’ll be seventy in two days.”

“….”

“Don’t you feel this way as you organize these things? There are quite a few people you have to watch out for.”

James nodded.

Because Walter Rothschild and other successors to financial tycoons of the same age were exceptionally skilled.

“Lee Kang and Morgan Jr. These two are especially dangerous. The Rockefellers and the Nobel family heirs are all worse than their fathers but these guys are different.”

James remained silent.

Because if we were to fight back here it would be tantamount to insulting Walter the Baron’s adopted son.

The Baron looked at James with a bitter expression.

“In that situation Walter is looking away. It’s not a good situation to focus on this work.”

“….”

“Furthermore relations with other collateral families are also not improving. Haven’t they been at odds with each other lately?”

The Rothschild family in principle forbids members of the same family from fighting each other.

It is a tradition inherited from our ancestors.

But as generations pass by the blood we share becomes thinner.

As a result the seeds of discord were slowly sprouting between the Austrian main house in Europe and the Rothschild family in England.

“I have taken to heart what the Baron meant.”

James is watching the Rothschild family’s progress from very close range.

That’s why he knew more about the future of this family than anyone else.

He knelt down and swore his loyalty to the Baron once again.

“I will do my best to help Walter get on the right path. Please trust me.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Baron Rothschild is approaching seventy.

That’s why the report was so long that it was difficult for him to read.

“So what else is happening around the world this week?”

He started by reading only the summary.

After that I would pick out areas of interest and read detailed reports.

“huh?”

Just then an interesting sentence caught the Baron’s eye.

“Hahaha. Look at this guy Lee Kang.”

* * *

“You’re a big shot. You’re the first to put your fork and knife on the spot where I put my saliva.”

Baron Rothschild’s cold eyes flashed.

Butler James became very nervous at the cold gaze he had not seen in a long time.

“How did this happen? We must have sent our people to the Dutch side as well.”

“that is….”

A funny story came out of James’ mouth.

“Asian Mandrake?”

The Baron couldn’t believe it and reviewed the relevant documents two or three times.

“You’re saying this happened because of red ginseng or something?”

“Yes. As you know the Dutch royal family is having a hard time because of the succession problem.”

“yes.”

The next in line for succession in the Netherlands was currently Archduchess Marie Queen Wilhelmina’s aunt.

As time passes and Wilhelmina dies the elderly Archduchess Marie or her son will become the next successor to the throne.

The problem is that Marie’s son Heinrich has very pro-German tendencies.

Because there was a history of reorganizing the fragmented German kingdoms into the North German Confederation.

The Netherlands also had the potential to become tied to the German Confederation if Henry succeeded to the throne.

Germany’s rival Britain was watching this closely.

In the midst of this Lee Kang is said to have intervened and restored the relationship between Hendrik and Wilhelmina.

“Hendrick you bastard you’re not a cool guy at night.”

The Baron grumbled as he recalled the wedding scene between Hendrik and Wilhelmina.

“Anyway why aren’t there any normal people in the royal family?”

One of them is into witchcraft trying to cure his son’s incurable disease.

One of them is unable to escape from masochism and perversion.

The ones who were relatively okay turned to aphrodisiacs and gave away golden oil exploration rights to foreigners.

To be exact it was like the royal family had split it even halfway with Lee Kang but since he still didn’t know the full story the Baron secretly cursed Hendrik and the Queen.

He clenched his fist as he downgraded Queen Wilhelmina to almost the level of Nicholas II.

“There are no decent guys. It’s fortunate that our Eddie (Edward VII) who lives in London is normal.”

James agreed.

At least the King of England doesn’t do weird things like other kings.

“Royal Dutch Saga succeeded in issuing paid-in capital. And it was worth ten million dollars…”

Rothschild began to mutter to himself pressing his temple with his right hand.

“If this continues we’ll have to start from zero again. This is a big problem.”

Rothschild began to look through the documents as if possessed.

He looked at James holding up one of the piled up reports.

“What is the current situation in Russia?”

“Anti-Semitism is getting worse.”

James quickly continued.

“It is still an environment in which a business can be run but if there is just a little more ill will build up the Baron’s company could be in trouble.”

“What about that Romanov guy? Has he not come up with a single plan to prevent a recurrence yet?”

“that is….”

A torrent of profanity burst out of the mouth of the noble Baron Rothschild.

Because the name of another competitor he had been keeping an eye on popped up.

“What? The Nobel family is promoting anti-Semitism?”

“yes.”

The Nobel family is a rival of the Rothschild family.

While competing for oil hegemony in Europe.

The Rothschild family tried everything they could to destroy the Nobel Brothers Oil Company of the Nobel family.

Through the financial world.

Through the labor world.

Through the political world.

I poured out all sorts of plots and prayed for the downfall of the Nobel Brothers.

Despite the Rothschild family’s schemes the Nobel brothers still survive and dominate the oil industry in Russia.

“Hahaha. You’re really getting revenge. You’re acting like this because you’ve tightened up your liquidity.”

People are inherently inherently self-centered.

It is human nature to think that our mistakes are small and other people’s revenge is big.

So did Baron Rothschild.

He couldn’t remember any of his past mistakes and was only angry at the Nobel brothers’ schemes.

“I was trying to trade the Baku oilfields for Royal Dutch stock. That’s going to be difficult.”

Because Lee Kang-i was the first to increase his capital.

It is not easy to increase capital by a large amount again when the liquidity of the stock has already increased.

Above all Royal Dutch whose finances are now sound will try to buy the Baku oil field very cheaply.

Because rumors have already spread widely in this world that the Rothschild family is withdrawing its investment funds from Russia.

“More than that this time Lee Kang’s movements. Could it be that Rockefeller instigated them?”

“Rockefeller?”

“Yes. At the last engagement party didn’t that Rockefeller guy mention this prince’s relationship with Hendrik and recommend that this prince invest in Royal Dutch?”

The Baron recalled past memories as he listened to the butler’s story.

Yeah that’s right.

That Rockefeller guy was pumping hard for Lee Kang.

“Are you saying that guy… used someone else’s hand to hit me?”

“Yes that may be so. Rockefeller is just as vile as Morgan.”

Morgan had recently hired someone to keep watch over the Baron’s surroundings.

The funny thing is.

What is unique is that the person hired was Asian and Korean at that.

It was obvious to anyone that he was trying to sow discord between Lee Kang and the Baron.

The Baron nodded for Rockefeller was as shrewd as Morgan.

“That could be the case.”

The members of the seven-member group are in a relationship where they bite and bite each other.

In the oil industry the Rothschilds and Morgans collaborate to keep Rockefeller in check.

In the American financial world Rockefeller and Rothschild are joining hands to stand against Emperor Morgan.

When the Rothschilds showed interest in American politics Morgan and Rockefeller joined forces to block the Rothschilds’ advance into the United States.

These three forces which had a love-hate relationship were currently trying to break the tight balance little by little through Lee Kang.

The value of Lee Kang was now at its peak as everyone was trying to guide it in a direction that was advantageous to them.

“Anyway because of that guy Lee Kang the big picture I had drawn up this time got messed up.”

The Baron shook his head and covered his head with his right hand.

“Morgan has been showing interest in the oil industry lately. I’m sure he’ll beat up the value of the Baku oil field we’re trying to sell. Ha! That bastard Lee Kang is causing us a lot of damage.”

This time the Baron thought of Lee Kang’s face.

A man with small eyes but who exuded a fiercer aura than anyone else.

The Baron feels it instinctively.

That this river is dangerous.

“He is a thorn in my side and yet so necessary. I should have embraced him before Rockefeller left…”

What’s the use of regretting it now?

The car has already left.

“But doesn’t this prince have several weaknesses?”

“That’s right. There are issues with the home country… and asset allocation issues. It’s true that there are things to attack.”

They say that no one is perfect.

Lee Kang had several weaknesses.

One of them was the Korean Empire.

“Should we try to sneak financial support to Japan again?”

The Japanese Empire is currently gasping for breath.

Even though power was transferred from Katsura Taro to Saionji again nothing improved.

“The prince will be indignant if he finds out about this.”

“yes?”

We still need to cooperate with Lee Kang.

If you want to get involved in the construction of the Manchurian Railway in South Manchuria you will be in big trouble if you fall out of favor with Lee Kang the person in charge.

“But I wish you would support me a little more secretly.”

In any case there was a need to keep Lee Kang in check.

If this continues to grow it will become an uncontrollable entity like Morgan or Rockefeller.

“How much is Lee Kang’s current assets?”

“I estimate it to be around $100 million. Of course it could be more as this is an estimate based on the investment assets disclosed a year ago.”

“okay?”

“Yes. But the good news is that while he had previously shown excellent investment insight by diversifying his investments across various industries he has recently been focusing too much on oil companies exposing his weaknesses.”

“Ohhh…..”

Baron Rothschild’s eyes sparkled.

Because a good card to check Lee Kang had just flashed through his mind.
