Chapitre 1091: Chapter 1091: The Rothschild family holds an emergency meeting!
While Xia Yu was constantly strengthening his foundation in Paris, something he had been waiting for happened in London.
London, Rothschild Family Castle.
This time, it was not just the three cousins Jacob Rothschild, Evelyn Rothschild and Léopold Rothschild who were meeting.
In the large living room, there were also six other people sitting. Apart from the only one who had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking at least 70 years old, the other five people were mostly in their forties and fifties.
They are the uncles of everyone sitting there, Guy Locher, the last person in charge of the French branch of the Locher family, and his successor and nephew David Locher, sitting next to him.
There is also List Locher from Vienna, Austria.
Elro Locher from Frankfurt, West Germany.
Harry Locher from Switzerland.
Sidney Locher from Naples, Italy.
The nine people sitting here can be said to be the most central figures of the Rothschild family in Europe. Each of them is a figure who can call the shots in their respective territories.
Of course, if a missile were to hit now, the Rothschild family would be able to almost cut off the inheritance, and it might not take a few years before they were completely swallowed up by those old European families.
'Isn't Harris coming?'
Harry Rothschild looked at the head of the family, Jacob Rothschild, and asked.
The others also turned their attention to Jacob Rothschild when they heard the question.
Jacob Rothschild shook his head and said with a normal expression on his face, 'Rockefeller and Morgan have been making a lot of moves, and the struggle is now even more intense. Harris told me that he couldn't come, and he wanted to try to find some opportunities!'
Elro Lo希尔 shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of mockery, 'Harris still likes to go it alone. Although I admit that he is very capable, he still greatly underestimates David Rockefeller and old Morgan. His vaunted psychology cannot see through the thoughts of these two old foxes.'
'After spending so many years in the United States, it seems that he has forgotten that the most important thing for our Lo希尔 family is unity!'
'If it wasn't for our unity, we would never have been able to stand up to them again after what they did to us!'
'All right, Elro, you should be a little more careful,'
said the eldest, Guy Rochill, in his old man's voice.
The head of the family, Jacob Rochill, also spoke up: 'Elro, Harris is a bit proud, but over the years, he has lived up to our expectations and really helped our family regain a foothold in North America. Things should be better now, and if they get bad, he will contact us.'
'Let's not talk about him. Why don't you each tell us about your situation?'
'Elro, let's start with Switzerland!'
Seeing that the head of the family had spoken, Elro Lo希尔 didn't pursue the matter. After all, they were family. He was just a little upset by Harris Lo希尔's arrogant attitude.
'The situation in Switzerland is not bad...'
'The situation in Austria is more or less the same as in the past. The stock market is relatively active, which is good for us...'
'Italy...'
After Elro Lohe said this, the others very consciously took over the conversation and talked about the current situation and problems in the regions they were responsible for.
However, there were relatively few problems. After all, there was no need to talk about minor problems here, as they could solve them themselves, and there were very few major problems.
This situation was more or less the same as what Jacob Lohe understood. The reason for letting everyone give a brief introduction was mainly to allow the heads of each branch of the family to know the current situation of the entire family through the introductions of others.
After the heads of the four branches in West Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland had finished speaking,
Evelyn Rothschild also spoke as the head of the British branch. He said that there had been a lot of achievements. After all, the privatisation of state-owned enterprises was already underway in the UK. With the Rothschild family's strength, they had gained a lot of benefits and their strength had grown considerably.
After he had finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Guy Rothschild and David Rothschild.
They had heard about the situation in France and guessed before coming that the main problem in this meeting would be the French branch.
'Uncle Guy, David, please tell us about the situation in France and let's discuss what to do,'
said Jakob Rothschild.
David Rothschild looked at his uncle Guy Rothschild next to him. When he saw his uncle nod to him, he did not decline and took a deep breath before speaking with a grave expression.
'The situation on our side is dire, we can say it has reached the most dangerous point.'
With just these words, he made everyone at the table frown and they all braced themselves.
Because after World War II, Germany was divided into two countries, it has always been at the centre of the tug-of-war between the United States and Europe and the Soviet Union, and the vestiges of the Third Reich still exist, which is not suitable for the Rothschild family to build another fulcrum in mainland Europe.
So after discussion, the previous generation of the family decided to establish a foothold in France, and sent Guy Locher, one of the few remaining members of the family, to take charge of the construction.
With the support of the family and the careful management of Guy Locher, this branch in France lived up to expectations. It was the fastest to recover after World War II, and its strength also expanded dramatically. It can be said to be the family's branch second only to the undamaged British branch and the Swiss branch, which was successfully transferred and preserved.
If there is a major problem, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the family, and the part of the reputation that has been restored with so much effort will suffer a major blow!
David Rothschild continued in a low voice, 'François Mitterrand's unexpected rise to power was beyond our control, and his Socialist Party's control of the French government was astonishing. Although there was a lot of resistance after he implemented the nationalisation reform, he still pushed it through firmly.'
'François Mitterrand intended to attack indiscriminately, but the French cancer cells found a way to avoid it for the time being and managed to get François Mitterrand to agree that even if their banks were nationalised, they would be able to receive huge compensation and their family members would remain in their respective banks.'
'They chose to temporarily bow their heads and wait for François Mitterrand's nationalisation reform to fail, so that they could regain control of their respective banks.'
'But!'
'The three families – Bourbon, Orleans and Bonaparte – have once again united against us and are preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to sweep us, Rockefeller and Morgan, out of France, with a particular focus on our family!'
'I already know their plan. They intend to have the government nationalise our bank, Edmond de Rothschild, and take the name with it, so that we, the Rothschilds, will no longer be granted a banking licence!
'They want to completely shut us out of France!'
'Not only that, the French government also intends to fully nationalise Rhône-Poulenc and Thomson, in which our family has a significant stake. These two companies are important pillars of our family's industrial presence in France. If they succeed, they will take away the results of our decades of hard work!'
'We have already resisted once and went directly to François Mitterrand, but he was very determined and simply wouldn't give us a chance!'
At this, David Locher clenched his teeth, his face turning purple with anger, his heart filled with indignation!
But beneath the anger, he felt helpless, hopeless and at a loss!
If he hadn't reached the point of desperation, why would he have come to the UK with his uncle, who was already recuperating at home and had retired to the sidelines, and let Jacob Locher gather the entire family to discuss a solution?
