Chapter 32: Chapter 32
Edel looked at the petition sent by the Bank of England, the National Bank of Paris, the National Bank of Russia, and the German Reichsbank. Looking at the petition, which was called the petition, Edel felt heavy pressure. After all, he was in the country before, and no one could move him with Carol I supporting him, and now the old king may not be able to withstand it.
Edel is now thinking about how to deal with the financial attacks of major foreign banks. No matter how you deal with it, you must have sufficient funds. This is the ammunition for fighting this group of capitalists. Edel came to the old king's office, and now he needs the support of Carol I.
"Edel, what do you think." In the Carol I room, the old king asked Edel's opinion. "No matter how we deal with it, we must first raise a large sum of money and hold them for a few days." The old king who listened to Edel's speech was thinking secretly. He and his son did not expect that the other party would react so much, and the expected difference same. I blamed myself for being too optimistic and wanted to leave Edel with a better kingdom, but now this petition has forced myself to have no retreat. Now I believe that many people are watching the government's decision. Whether power controls capital or capital controls power can only be known after a struggle.
If you lose everything, don't mention it. The prestige of the government and the royal family will be greatly reduced. I believe that someone will ask for the reorganization of the government, and the royal power will be greatly handed over to the future government. This is what Carol I, the founder of the Romanian kingdom, cannot accept. Winning can guarantee that the royal family will have absolute rights within 20 years. King Carol is in the eyes of the current growth of the European bourgeoisie. While they are strengthening themselves, they will also demand corresponding power and status.
Edelty's financial bill is a means by which the royal family tries to control the bourgeoisie. King Carol also hopes to take advantage of the financial crisis to supervise them. I just didn't expect that these few foreign banks, representing the European powers, would completely unite, and they could represent the two opposing camps. It seems that Romania's profit has brought the two opposing camps together.
The king and his son called the director, Viscount Adri, to report on his family. "Because His Royal Highness Edel invested in oil, automobiles, bicycles and other industries, the royal family now has 3.8 million pounds in cash..." Carol and his son discussed after the director left.
"It is necessary to have 10 million pounds of funds that have already been used to withstand the financial attacks of these guys." Edel, who has experience in later generations, said. For Edel, who has experience in later generations, he only knows that the two major socialist countries can't afford it. . Only God knows how much it will help Romania. This small Balkan country, which is now watched by European powers, dare not surpass it if it abides by the rules of the game.
"It's still too little." King Carol thought of the director's report. In fact, the royal family had a lot of assets but most of them were real estate, and it was difficult to realize land and houses. No one in China can eat it, but there are in foreign countries, but the royal family dare not sell it.
"In fact, there is a way to prepare enough funds." Edel watched his father continue to talk. "Americans have always had a lot of ideas about the European market. We asked them for mortgages, and I believe we won't be rejected."
After discussing the details with the old king, Edel and the old king found it feasible, and then he asked Prime Minister Stewart to discuss. As a proprietor of the king, Sturley is very qualified, after listening to the plan of the crown prince. The old prime minister thought for a while and said, "Your Highness must now act secretly and quickly, and don't give them too much time to react."
Later, the government gave the four major foreign banks a return receipt saying that because it was a matter of great importance, it took a few days to consider, and the heads of the banks that received the reply discussed again. "This time our confession will make Romania surrender, and no one can resist the four of us joining together." Tiromotov said with a little gusto, and the other three could also see it. Because of the discussions today, Tiromotov still has a bottle of wine in his hand, and it seems that he has been under a lot of pressure recently.
"I hope this is the best. As long as we unite with the Romanians, we can only give in." Mondrick said this, still looking at Cromander. Obviously, his worries still have some reason.
Cromander saw this scene and knew that he couldn't be suspicious. "I won't have any problems here. I'm afraid that Mr. Mondrik forgot to prepare the loan funds. If this is the case, Deutsche Reichsbank can do it for you."
Hearing Cromander's mockery, Mondric's face changed, he was obviously ready to find this place, and was persuaded by Ellison, who had never spoken. "Well, our quarrel cannot bring any profit to the bank. Now we need to unite to share the cake."
After hearing Ellison's speech, the two of them had to calm down without giving him face. Ellison was very satisfied with the effect and continued, "I don't think it is so simple to let them succumb. As far as I know, the king, father and son are not simple characters, and there may be twists and turns in this matter."
"Then what should we do now?" asked Tyromotov, who is the most interested party, and the most concerned. "We must first remove the trash fish. Anything that does not listen to our greetings will reduce loans to them, and raise interest rates to force them to stand by our side. We must also closely monitor the actions of the palace and the government, and be careful that they may suddenly attack us."
"Very well, let's do that." Tiromotov nodded and said, although the other two were dissatisfied with the Russians. Still nodded in agreement, after all, this is a very good idea.
During the secret negotiation of the four, Edel called the captain of the guard Carust and quietly ordered him. "Go and invite Mr. Smith, don't let anyone know." "Good Majesty." Carrust replied and left the room.
After a while, Carust took a guard out of the palace. It is said that he was going to Ploiesti to buy things for the crown prince, and he returned with a bunch of things the next morning.
"His Royal Highness, what are you looking for?" Smith, who was wearing a guard suit and a hat, asked. Smith knew that he must have been secretly brought back to Bucharest. He has been told by his assistants about the events of the past few days, making Smith feel that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to climb upward.
"Mr. Smith, I need you to send this telegram to Mr. Rockefeller of your company." Edel handed the document in hand to the American, and Smith took the document and saw it. The royal family is willing to mortgage 60% of the shares of Romanian Petroleum Company and 80% of the shares of Volkswagen to Rockefeller's bank ~www.mtlnovel.com~ in exchange for a loan of US$25 million, and a loan of US$25 million for part of the land under the royal family's name. On the condition that American capital enters the Romanian financial sector, a total loan of 50 million US dollars (10.24 million pounds) is granted. Pay off in eight years, and the annual interest rate is 4.5%.
Smith felt that he was full of enthusiasm when he saw here. He knew about oil companies and automobile factories and believed that the valuation was reasonable. "His Royal Highness, please wait for my good news."
This document was at the table of John Rockefeller that night, and it also attached Smith's current situation in Romania. After John Rockefeller carefully read the document, he handed it to John Rockefeller Jr. to wait for him to read it, and asked "How kind."
John Rockefeller Jr. thought for a while, "It's a good deal."
John Rockefeller nodded to the butler and said, "Call Morgan I think he will be interested."
After a while, the butler handed the phone to John Rockefeller. "Good evening Morgan, I hope I didn't interrupt your dinner. I have a good deal here, don't you know if you are interested?" "Rockefeller can call me during dinner time. I am very interested in this business. "Morgan on the other end of the phone said. Rockefeller told Morgan about the telegram from Smith.
"This loan is very good. The Rohenzollern family in Romania is still very wealthy. I took this business. A land loan of 25 million US dollars, I can send them through the European branch. By the way, I will also send you that. A loan is also sent to them." Morgan knew that Rockefeller's purpose of calling was to quickly send the money through his own channels. For a foot in the Balkans, not only Rockefeller is interested in Morgan is no exception. It is indeed a good deal to earn money and expand the business scope of the European branch.
