The Emperor's Life of a Wretched Man

At this point, it seems that reality is very different from myth.

Anticipating a long war due to the reappearance of Napoleon, Kouchi begins hoarding gold.

Doubtless there was great joy in being first informed of Napoleon's defeat, thanks to the swiftness of the Rothschild messaging system.

This enabled couriers to carry the fifth communiqué of the message version, issued at midnight on June 1814, 6, at Brussels, via Dunkirk and Dire, to Newcourt on the night of the 18th.

It was only 24 hours after Wellington and Blücher met victoriously on the battlefield.

It took nearly 48 hours for Colonel Henry Percy to send Wellington's officers to report the victory to the Cabinet, while the cabinet ministers were having dinner at Sir Harrowby's house.It was 21 o'clock in the evening on the 11st.

In fact, Xiao Neizhi conveyed the relevant news to the government, but no one wanted to believe it.

The news brought by the No.2 messenger of the Rothschild family from Ghent was also unbelievable.

But no matter how early the news arrived, in Xiao Nei's view, the news of Waterloo's victory was useless at all.He didn't expect the decisive end to come so quickly.

In fact, just five days before the end of the campaign, he had taken out a £1000 million loan for the British government in Amsterdam.

And just as his courier was about to arrive in London, he was arranging a subsidy payment to Baden.

The outcome of the Battle of Waterloo made it appear that his financial operations in the name of the Anti-French Coalition were premature and very bad.

Because the brothers not only hold a large amount of depreciating gold and silver, but also hold more than 1000 million pounds of treasury bonds that need to be sold in Amsterdam, not to mention a series of subsidy business that is only half completed.

Once the peace agreement is signed, all these businesses will be terminated.When army reports arrived in Newcourt, confirming that the end of the war was imminent, Ney was faced not with fabled huge profits but with heavy and mounting losses.

In London, the frantic Xiao Nei kept working on the bellies of some prestigious old ladies, hoping to find opportunities from losses.

It was in this context that the company was rumored to be buying UK shares.

On July, the evening edition of the London Courier reported that Nei had bought "a large amount of stock."Nima...

A week later, Roworth heard that Nathan had "made a lot of money on the information he got of Waterloo" and wanted to get involved in more government securities.

"As long as you think which ones are worth buying."

This seems to confirm the view that Nei did buy the Consolidated Bonds by virtue of his informational advantage about the outcome of the war, but the profits he made from them would not be very large.

Victor Rothschild has confirmed that the price of the Consolidated Bond has climbed from its nadir to 53 a week or so before the end of the Battle of Waterloo.

Even if Xiao Nei bought the largest amount of government bonds at 6 points on June 56.5, and sold them at 20 points a week later, his profit was only about 60.5 pounds.

The same thing happened with the Trust Bonds, it was up 8 points on the news of the win, and I...  

According to Salomon, Xiaonei also bought 107 million pounds of trust bonds at a price of 450 points; if he followed his brother's suggestion and sold them at a price of 1 point, his profit would probably reach 60 pounds .

But this figure obviously failed to impress Xiao Nei; he regretted why he didn't buy a little more at the beginning, and still held the bond, waiting for the next year to rush to a higher price.

In fact, it was not until later in 1816 that Ney achieved perhaps his greatest success in securities speculation: he bought £62 million at an average price of 650, most of which he sold at 1817 in 82.75, Earned £130 million.

However, this was not a profit he could keep for himself, since the original capital was invested with government funds, as suggested by Herries.Damn, it's a big loss, go find a woman and have a blast...

During Napoleon's reign, James mainly traveled between London and Paris, establishing a family transport network to smuggle British goods.

James rose to prominence in France after helping Wellington deliver gold and the gilt takeover battle.He established the Rothschild Bank of Paris and secretly financed the Spanish Revolution.

Beginning in October 1818, the Rothschild family began to use their strong financial resources as a backing to quietly buy French bonds in major European cities, and French bonds gradually appreciated in value.

Then, starting from November 11th, French bonds were suddenly and simultaneously sold in large quantities across Europe, causing great panic in the market.

When he watched his bond prices slide into the abyss like a free fall, Louis XVIII felt that his crown was gone with it.

At this time, the agent of the Rothschild family in the court spoke to the king, trying to save the wealthy Rothschild Bank.

Louis XVIII, who originally looked down on the Rothschild family, no longer talked about his royal status at this time, and immediately summoned Brother James.

And the latter lived up to his expectations, and stopped the bond collapse as soon as he made a move, and became the center of attention in France. Damn, self-directed and self-acted, can this be stopped?

After the French military defeat, the James brothers rescued France from economic crisis, and their bank became a place where people competed for loans.So far, the Rothschild family has completely controlled French finance...

After the Napoleonic Wars ended, the Rothschild family had become a prestigious family in Europe for a while, with the vigor to conquer Britain and France, they had a lot of confidence.

Even so, they did not dare to negotiate business directly with the Habsburgs for the first time, but found a stepping stone. He was Metternich, who was well-known in European politics in the nineteenth century.

In Europe after the defeat of Napoleon, the Viennese system led by Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich maintained the longest peace period in Europe in the 19th century.

Under the unfavorable situation of Austria's declining and powerful enemies, he brought the essence of checks and balances to the extreme.

The Aachen Conference of 1818 was an important meeting to discuss the future of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars.

Representatives from Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and other countries decided on issues such as France's war reparations and the withdrawal of the Allies.

Solomon, Meyer's second son, had the most outstanding diplomatic ability among several brothers. He was exquisite in his speech and skillful in flattery.

It is for this reason that Solomon shuttles between major European cities all year round, acting as a coordinating role among the various banks of the family, and was recommended by his brothers to Vienna to develop banking business in the heart of Europe.

Both Solomon and his brother Karl attended the Aachen Conference.

It was at this meeting that Solomon got acquainted with Metternich after being introduced by Metternich's right-hand man, Kings, and quickly became close friends with Metternich.

With Solomon's generous funding, Metternich began to expand Austria's influence, sending troops around to "defend the peace" in problem-prone areas.
