The Joseon Prince Went To America And Didn’t Return – 71



< Life and Death (3) >

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the word ‘Rothschild’.

and!

My mouth fell open.

Because it felt like I had just found an ancient treasure map that had been passed down in secret.

‘I remember. I had fun watching it back then.’

Sometimes ridiculous videos get recommended on streaming sites.

One family rules the world.

All the financial crises that have occurred throughout history have been caused by their families.

American politicians are also subservient to them etc.

Videos full of all sorts of conspiracy theories are uploaded to YouTube and in them the Rothschild family is always pointed out as the mastermind.

‘I thought your real name was Nathaniel Mayer Rothschild?’

The title Baron Nathan Rothschild is similar to my royal title.

I focused on the word ‘Baron’ rather than the first two words and a question mark appeared in my head.

‘Based on his notoriety he’s at least a count. His title is only a baron.’

Well considering the background and history of Nathaniel’s ancestors it would be difficult for him to rise above the rank of Baron.

‘Because I’m Jewish and not a native British citizen. That’s a disadvantage.’

Aren’t you from a merchant family not a knight class?

Although the bourgeoisie also received titles in modern times they were all of low rank.

‘But when I see him talking about his title all the time…’

I guess he feels a bit superior to the five commoners here.

I quickly analyzed Baron Rothschild’s personality.

He then turned his gaze to the others standing politely next to him.

“This is Jacob Schiff.”

“My name is Paul Warburg your highness.”

Seven people including me gathered in Morgan’s office.

After checking the members’ personal information one by one I let out a small exclamation inwardly.

‘It’s the golden ratio.’

JP Morgan Rockefeller James Hill is a representative financial tycoon of the United States.

On the other hand Rothschild is a guest from England.

Jacob Schiff is the Rothschild henchman in front of me.

Paul Warburg was also another Rothschild acting as a proxy for the German or Austrian branch of the family.

Excluding me if you just look at the number of people it’s 3:3.

Watching this I felt the influence of the Rothschild family once again.

‘They say that Rockefeller and Morgan are also people under the influence of the Rothschilds. Well they’ve grown so big these days that they should be considered independent entities…’

If Morgan and Rockefeller joined hands they would be big enough to take on the Rothschilds.

Now that I’ve grown up there’s no way I can just continue to act as a servant like before.

Well still.

Because the most influential person in this room was still over there – Lord Rothschild.

I decided to try to boost Rothschild’s pride before the full-scale meeting.

“Oh Lord Rothschild. When you introduced yourself earlier you said your title was Baron?”

“exactly.”

Rothschild looked at me one eyebrow slightly quirking.

It seemed like a silent gesture of asking if he was dissatisfied with having the title of Baron.

I tilted my head and muttered the following.

“At first glance he’s not a count. He seems to have more dignity than a duke… But now that you’re only a baron my trust in the British government has really plummeted. How can your eyes be this crooked? Tsk tsk.”

Rothschild’s face brightened at my sudden offer.

“… Heh heh. Is that so?”

They say praise makes even whales dance.

This old man also seemed to feel a little better because of my sweet words.

‘I’m a prince.’

It’s no wonder that the corners of my mouth went up when a noble person praised Rothschild.

“Thank you for saying so Your Highness.”

The way you speak has also changed a bit.

There are several words in English that are similar to honorifics to show respect for others.

Before I felt like he was a bit short on words but now he’s starting to treat me better.

As expected there must be a coming or a going.

“Your Majesty you are truly a noble person even when you are still.”

“Well. Are you the only one doing it?”

“Hahaha is that so? Your Highness. Please sit over here.”

Rothschild treated me with great respect and guided me to the VIP table.

At this sight of Rothschild the faces of the other five people in the room changed slightly.

Everyone looked surprised.

It seems that seeing the Rothschilds in this manner is not something that even they can easily see.

“Distinguished guests we don’t have much time so let’s get to the point quickly.”

Once everyone was seated Morgan skipped the small talk and got straight to the point.

“First we plan to contribute 10 million dollars each to the stabilization fund. I ask for your cooperation.”

* * *

Morgan quickly collected money similar to membership fees.

A huge sum of money ten million dollars.

But the members gathered here accepted every request Morgan made as if they had just pulled a check out of their pockets.

“Okay.”

“This is what we need to do to ensure the stability of the American financial sector.”

It’s suspicious.

Did you tell me this before I came here?

Well it’s a bit difficult to raise an objection since there’s no evidence.

Although I was a little reluctant I readily agreed.

“I will also contribute.”

“Thank you Your Highness. Ah! This time aren’t there any additional conditions or anything like that?”

Morgan chuckled and threw out a barbed American joke.

‘Morgan did Morgan.’

I’m referring to my previous actions here.

I guess you were quite upset?

It’s a situation where I can’t get angry because he asked me with a smile.

I fired back with great praise for Morgan’s political skills.

“It’s not like I’m donating anything I’m just making a contribution. That’s about it. And don’t you think you’ll be able to run it well? Surely the world’s best Morgan will suffer a loss? If that happens you should step down from your position.”

huh.

If you keep extorting money like this and losing it there’s going to be chaos.

I explained to him why I didn’t attach any conditions.

Morgan nodded without saying anything.

Because the six of us here are not here to really save the American economy.

Everyone is here to show off their wealth.

When I emphasized this again he didn’t bother to confront me any more and just let it go.

“This prince.”

That was when.

Rockefeller who was standing next to Morgan spoke to me.

“Speak Mr. Rockefeller.”

“Your Majesty do you think that other measures are necessary besides this contribution of capital?”

As soon as he finished speaking the rest of the members stared at my face.

It was clear that he was trying to test me by pretending to struggle to solve the problem.

I was trying to measure the combat prowess of a rookie to see how useful he is…

I chuckled and answered his question.

“First we need to catch the media.”

“The press?”

“Yeah. They keep making a fuss about the New York Stock Exchange going down every day.”

What is the federal government doing now?

It’s both orthodox and yellow journalism.

Aren’t we all raising our voices in unison to demand a solution?

“The VIPs gathered here each own financial institutions. They must also own a considerable amount of shares in media companies. So each of them should exercise their influence to silence the useless nonsense.”

When the media fan the flames even a situation that could easily be resolved can escalate into a panic.

This bank run was evolving into a giant monster feeding off the anxiety of New Yorkers so it was necessary to hit this anxiety at its source.

“Will the media do as we wish?”

Paul Warburg an immigrant from Germany questioned my answer.

At this I put strength into my argument with an expression that said ‘If it doesn’t work I have to make it work.’

“Of course we can’t just use intimidation. We should also come up with a plan and spend a lot of money on advertising as a publicity expense. Even the independent media which has its own journalism will put our voices on the front page of their newspapers this time.”

Advertising costs are a cheat key.

Because it is very effective in silencing the press when certain prerequisites are met.

“okay.”

“Now that I see this prince he seems to be very good at handling the media.”

“The prince’s movements were being reported in real time in the Netherlands and Germany… There was a reason for everything.”

The six people gathered at the meeting looked at me with satisfied expressions.

Morgan looked like he was ‘thank goodness’.

I guess it was probably because they recommended me to the members here.

“I should look at this often. It seems like I have a lot to learn from this prince.”

Warburg extended his hand and praised me.

I guess I passed their simple test.

“Okay… Let’s get down to business. What do you think is necessary to prevent something like this from happening again in the future?”

* * *

The long Sunday passed and Monday came.

Morgan who was given full authority by Corteleu quickly resolved this financial panic at lightning speed.

“Your Majesty things are being resolved quickly.”

Rothschild nodded in agreement.

He was now reading through a collection of newspapers published in New York.

The media outlets were trying to calm public opinion by reporting the news of Morgan’s bailout fund on their front pages.

‘You’re only paying five million dollars more than us. You’re the one who’s putting up all the fuss.’

Morgan extorted $60 million from six VIPs who attended the meeting.

Plus the regular pyramids not the big guys.

That means we collected an additional $20 million from owners of small banks in New York.

It didn’t end there with an additional $25 million from the government and $15 million from Morgan’s own pocket.

A bailout fund of about $120 million was created.

It is said that through this they will lend money to banks and trust companies in need of liquid funds at a high interest rate.

The New York stock market reacted quickly to Morgan’s rescue plan.

The decline stopped and it rebounded.

Moreover with the added support of the media New Yorkers who had been waiting in long lines to withdraw their savings are now returning home.

Although Morgan personally accomplished what the U.S. federal government could not Rothschild secretly clicked his tongue and evaluated Morgan’s achievement as such.

‘Anyone who jumps around will eventually get hit with a hammer. Morgan at his age still doesn’t understand the ways of the world.’

How the Rothschilds Survived the Past 100 Years

Because they have grown by hiding their power like shadows through agents.

The Rothschilds were displeased with Morgan’s actions which were diametrically opposed to their own family’s and were worried about the dark future that might lie ahead for Morgan.

“Here you are Lord Rothschild.”

“Oh thank you.”

Nathaniel Rothschild does not live in the United States.

He lived in England.

Once I returned to the island I was unable to set foot on American soil for a while.

So while he was in the US he was going to review some documents and give instructions to his agent who would remain here.

“Is this all?”

“Yes. I don’t have time so I’ve only picked out the most well-known incidents.”

Before returning to Europe Rothschild wanted to know more about the river.

Even though it was only our one meeting he left quite an impression.

“The Western financial world… has been devoured by interest. It’s been terrifying.”

“Yes that’s what they say.”

I’m leaving today but next time I arrive in the US there will be a very important meeting.

Also mentioned at Sunday’s meeting.

There will be additional meetings to discuss specific plans for establishing the Federal Reserve the next central bank for the United States.

“I guess I should at least give this one to Interest.”

“I guess so?”

For the past hundred years the Rothschild family has been working to establish a privately owned central bank for the United States.

They had already made plans for this and they planned to divide the United States into twelve districts like Jesus’ twelve disciples and then appoint a person in charge of each district.

Among them the West.

Naturally it seemed that Lee Kang who had the strongest influence would take the lead.

“Ahem.”

Rothschild coughed and handed over the report.

And I engraved Lee Kang’s past actions in my mind.

“BOI’s growth is amazing.”

“That’s right. The branch banking system will soon be introduced here in the United States just like in the UK. Won’t this incident increase calls for reform?”

Nathaniel asked Jacob Schiff pointing to the BOI written on the report.

“I would also like to invest in this bank. How much money can I raise right now?”

“A few million can easily be drawn Baron. But there is one limitation.”

“What?”

“This company. It’s not even listed yet. Also the amount of shares that an individual can own is limited.”

Rothschild nodded as he read the BOI’s unusual shareholding structure.

“A bank without a major shareholder? Even if there are many they can only acquire 3% of the shares?”

“Yes. But it is said that Lee Kang holds as many preferred shares as there are common shares in BOI.”

That means.

When BOI pays dividends Lee Kang takes more than 50% of the total dividend amount.

He was very clever in increasing his wealth by making investments that very cleverly avoided the restrictions of the founder Giannini.

“Livermore was also discovered by Lee Kang…”

In the East there was another madam with the face of the river.

It was Livermore who had recently become a star.

“Heh heh.”

“I may be presumptuous but it seems as if….”

“It’s like looking at myself when I was younger.”

The Rothschilds never come to the forefront.

His specialty is manipulating the situation from behind the scenes with his agents at the forefront.

But Lee Kang also seems to be showing similar behavior.

Of course it wasn’t completely similar.

But Morgan and Lee Kang.

If you look at just the two Lee Kang looks more like Rothschild than Morgan.

“You’ve invested quite a bit in Japan… What happens when the interest rate increases later?”

“Well I guess we’ll have to go and see.”

Rothschild narrowed his eyes and looked into the future.

“Let it be for now. The more losses the better.”

If you invest in both Japan and the Lee Kang-Il forces at the same time.

Wouldn’t one of them be profitable?

Rothschild thought so.

“Just report to me regularly about the activities of the interest. If we’re not careful another tycoon like Morgan or Rockefeller could emerge who can’t be controlled.”

further.

Morgan Rockefeller and Nathaniel Rothschild were all men in their 60s.

The number of years they can live is at most ten to twenty years.

In contrast Lee Kang was even more cautious as he had just turned 30.

Because their successors have yet to inspire faith.

‘If some more time passes I might become a big shot.’

If you let your guard down you might get eaten.

Because New York’s financial world is like a jungle.

It was important not to let down one’s guard because even a giant could fall at any time or in any way.

‘The best way is…’

It’s about being tied together through marriage.

Rothschild thought of this method and put the report on the river down on the floor.
