Attachment: Rothschild family - the only power in Europe

"As long as I can control the currency issuance of a country, I don't care who makes the laws. "

Meyer Rothschild

When the international media is hyping Bill Gates, who has a net worth of US$50 billion, to continue to be the world's richest man all day long, if you believe it is true, you will You've been fooled. You can't find the "invisible" super-rich on the so-called rich list that people are familiar with, because they have already tightly controlled the so-called "big media" in the West. "Hidden, hidden from the court", the Rothschild family is still running banking business today, but if we randomly ask 100 Chinese people on the streets of Beijing or Shanghai, 99 of them may know Citibank of the United States, and not necessarily 1 person who knows Rothschild Bank

Who is Rothschild? If a person in the financial industry has never heard of the name "Rothschild", then Just like a soldier does not know Napoleon, it is as incredible that a person studying physics does not know Einstein.

What is strange but not surprising is that this name is very unfamiliar to the vast majority of Chinese people, but its influence on the past, present and future of the Chinese people and even the people of the world is so huge, and its popularity is Being so low, its stealth capabilities are breathtaking.

How much wealth does the Rothschild family have? This is a world of mystery. A conservative estimate is $30 trillion!

How did the Rothschild family earn such an astonishing wealth? That's the story this chapter is going to tell you.

Strict family control, completely opaque black box operations, precise coordination like clockwork, information acquisition always ahead of the market, downright cold rationality, never-ending desire for financial power, and based on all of this The above-mentioned profound insights into money and wealth, as well as the genius' foresight, have made the Rothschild family invincible in the cruel whirlpool of finance, politics and war in the world for more than two hundred years, and established the most powerful family in human history so far. A huge financial empire.

The background of Rothschild’s founding

"Those few people who can understand this system (check currency and credit currency) are either very interested in the profits generated by this system. Interested, or very dependent on the charity of this system (politicians), this class of people will not oppose us. On the other hand, the vast majority of the people are not intellectually competent enough to understand what is derived from this system. With the huge advantages brought by capital, they will endure oppression without complaint or even the slightest suspicion that the system harms their interests. "—————————————————— ————Rothschild

The old Rothschild grew up in an era when the Industrial Revolution was developing rapidly in Europe and the financial industry was unprecedentedly prosperous. Brand-new financial practices and ideas spread from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to the world. Europe radiates. With the establishment of the Bank of England in 1694, a far more complex concept and practice of money was created by a large number of adventurous bankers. In the one hundred years of the 17th century, the concept and form of money have undergone profound changes. From 1694 to 1776, when Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations came out, the most bank-issued money in human history For the first time, the amount of banknotes exceeded the total amount of metal money in circulation [Note 1.3]. The unprecedented and huge financing needs for emerging industries such as railways, mining, shipbuilding, machinery, textiles, military industry, and energy generated by the Industrial Revolution have created an increasingly strong contradiction between the ancient inefficiency and extremely limited financing capabilities of traditional goldsmith banks. . Emerging bankers, represented by the Rothschild family, seized this historic opportunity and fully dominated the historical trend of the modern financial industry in a way that was most beneficial to themselves, while the fate of all others was not affected. Not or unconsciously determined by this system.

Two civil wars and political turmoil since 1625 left the British treasury empty. When William I came to England in 1689 (he obtained the throne because he married Mary, the daughter of King James II), At that time, he was faced with a mess, coupled with his ongoing war with Louis XIV of France, which made William I begging for money almost to the point of starvation. At this time, bankers headed by William Paterson proposed to the king a new thing learned from the Netherlands: establishing a private central bank, the Bank of England, to finance the king's huge expenditures.

This privately owned bank provides the government with 1.2 million pounds in cash as the government's "perpetual loan" (Perpetual Loan), with an annual interest rate of 8 and an annual management fee of 4,000 pounds, so that the government only spends 10 With 10,000 pounds, you can immediately raise 1.2 million pounds in cash, and you never have to pay back the principal! Of course, the government also provides more "benefits", that is, allowing the Bank of England to issue nationally recognized bank notes (BankNote).

People have long known that the most profitable thing for Goldsmith Banker is to issue bank notes. These bank notes are actually receipts for the gold coins deposited by depositors at the goldsmith. Since it was very inconvenient to carry large amounts of gold coins, people began to trade with receipts of gold coins, and then exchanged them for corresponding gold coins from goldsmiths. Over time, people felt that it was not necessary to always go to the goldsmith to deposit and withdraw gold coins. Later, these receipts gradually became currency. Smart goldsmiths and bankers gradually discovered that only a few people came to withdraw gold coins every day, so they began to secretly issue more receipts to lend to people in need of money and collect interest. When the borrowers paid off the IOUs with interest, The goldsmith banks took back the IOUs and quietly destroyed them, as if nothing had happened, but the interest was safely put into their own pockets.

The wider the circulation and acceptance of a Goldsmiths bank receipt, the greater the profit. The circulation range and acceptance of bank notes issued by the Bank of England are far beyond the reach of other banks. These bank notes recognized by the country are the national currency.

The Bank of England's cash capital is recruited from the public, and those who subscribe for more than 2,000 pounds are eligible to become directors (Governor) of the Bank of England. A total of 1,267 people became shareholders of the Bank of England, and 14 people became bank directors, including William Paterson.

On August 27, 1694, King William I issued the Royal Charter of the Bank of England, and the first modern bank was born.

The core concept of the Bank of England is to convert the private debts of the king and royal family members into permanent national debts, which are pledged by national taxes, and the Bank of England issues national currency based on the debt. In this way, the king has money to fight or enjoy, the government has money to do what he likes to do, and the bankers have made huge loans that they have been thinking about day and night and received considerable interest income. It seems to be a happy situation. Only the people's taxes were pledged. Due to such powerful new financial tools, the British government's deficit skyrocketed. From 1670 to 1685, the British government's fiscal revenue was 24.8 million pounds. From 1685 to 1700, the government revenue more than doubled, reaching 55.7 million pounds, but the British government's borrowings from the Bank of England surged more than 17 times from 1685 to 1700, from 80 pounds to 13.8 million pounds.

Even better, this design deadlocks the issuance of national currency and permanent national debt. To add new currency, the national debt must be increased, and paying off the national debt is equivalent to destroying the national currency. There will be no currency circulation in the market, so the government will never be able to pay off the debt. Due to the need to repay interest and economic development, it will inevitably lead to If you need more currency, you have to borrow money from banks, so the national debt will only continue to increase forever, and the interest income on these debts all goes into the bankers' pockets, and the interest payments are borne by the people's taxes!

Sure enough, the British government has never paid off its debt since then. By the end of 2005, the British government's debt increased from 1.2 million pounds in 1694 to 525.9 billion pounds, accounting for 42.8 of the British GDP.

From this point of view, for such a huge sum of money, if anyone dares to stand in the way of privatizing the National Bank, he risks cutting off the heads of kings or assassinating several presidents. It's really worth the risk.

Old Rothschild’s first pot of gold

On February 23, 1744, Meyer A. Bauer was born in the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt. His father Moses He is a traveling goldsmith and moneylender who makes a living in Eastern Europe all year round. After Meyer was born, Moses decided to settle in Frankfurt. Meyer showed an astonishing IQ since he was a child. His father devoted a lot of effort to him, carefully trained him, and systematically taught him business knowledge about money and lending. A few years later, Moses died, and Meyer, who was only 13 years old, was encouraged by relatives to work as a banking apprentice at the Oppenheimer Family Bank in Hanover.

With his extraordinary understanding and diligence, Meyer quickly mastered various professional skills in the bank. For seven years, he absorbed and digested all kinds of information from the UK like a sponge absorbing water. Wonderful ideas from the financial industry. For his outstanding work, Meyer was promoted to junior partner. During his days working in the bank, he met some clients with very good backgrounds, including General von Eastover, who played a major role in his future development. It was here that Meyer realized that the profit and insurance coefficients of lending money to the government and the king were much higher than lending to individuals. Not only was the loan amount much larger, but it also had government taxes as collateral. This new financial concept from Britain refreshed Meyer's mind.

A few years later, the young Meyer returned to Frankfurt and continued his father's loan business. He also changed his surname to Rothschild (Rot means red in German, and Schild means mark in German). When he learned that General von Eastover had also returned to Frankfurt and was working in Prince William's court, he immediately thought of making good use of this relationship. General von Eastover was also very happy when he saw Meyer again. The general himself is a coin collector, and Meyer's research on coins has been passed down from generation to generation. When he talks about various ancient coins, there are countless treasures, which makes the general's eyes light up. What made the general even more delighted was that Meyer was willing to sell a few rare gold coins to the general at a huge discount. Soon General von Eastover regarded Meyer as a confidant. The scheming Meyer quickly became familiar with important figures in the court.

Finally one day, after being introduced by General von Eastover, Prince William summoned Meyer. It turned out that the prince himself was also a gold coin collector. Meyer used the same method to quickly make the prince favor him. There are plus.

After selling rare gold coins to the prince at low prices several times, the prince felt embarrassed and asked Meyer if he could help. Meyer lost no time in offering to become the official agent of the palace. , he finally got his wish. On September 21, 1769, Meyer set the royal coat of arms on his sign, and wrote in gold letters next to it: "M.A. Rothschild, designated agent of His Royal Highness Prince William". For a time, Meyer's credibility soared and business became more and more prosperous.

Prince William himself was a money-hungry man in history. In the 18th century Europe, he was famous for "renting troops" to other countries to "maintain peace." He has close relationships with various royal families in Europe. He especially likes to do business with the British royal family. Because Britain has many overseas interests, it often needs troops, but its own army is not enough. Britain pays more money and rarely defaults on arrears. So I hit it off with Prince William. Later, during the American Revolutionary War, Washington faced more German soldiers than British soldiers. Later, Prince William accumulated the largest royal inheritance in European history, equivalent to approximately US$200 million. No wonder people call him "Europe's most cold-blooded loan shark".

After joining Prince William's account, Meyer tried his best to do every job perfectly, so he won the prince's trust. Soon the French Bourgeois Revolution (1789-1799) broke out, and the revolutionary wave gradually spread from France to surrounding monarchies. Prince William began to become anxious. He was increasingly worried that the revolution would cause chaos in Germany and that thugs would loot his wealth. Contrary to what the prince thought, Meyer was very happy about the French Revolution, because the panic caused a surge in his gold coin business. When the revolution was directed against the Holy Roman Empire, trade with Britain was interrupted and the price of imported goods soared. Meyer made a fortune smuggling goods from England to Germany.

Meyer has been a very active leader in the Jewish community. "Every Saturday night, after the synagogue service, Meyer would always invite some of the wisest Jewish scholars to his home. They would gather together, slowly drink wine, and talk in detail. Discussing the order of doing things until late at night. "

Meyer famously said: "A family that prays together will stick together." Later people never understood what kind of power allowed Ross. The Childe family is so obsessed with conquest and power.

By 1800, the Rothschild family had become one of the richest Jewish families in Frankfurt. Meyer also received the title of "Royal Agent of the Empire" from the Holy Roman Emperor that year. This title allowed him to travel to various parts of the empire, exempt him from various taxes imposed on other Jews, and allow his company personnel to be equipped with weapons.

In 1803, the relationship between Meyer and Prince William became increasingly close, which greatly promoted Meyer's power to a higher level. What happened was that one of Prince William's cousins ??was the King of Denmark. He asked Prince William to borrow a sum of money, but Prince William was unwilling to agree because he was afraid of revealing his wealth. When Meyer learned about this, he thought it was a good opportunity and proposed a solution to the prince. The prince would pay for it. Meyer came forward to negotiate and loaned money to the Danish king in Rothschild's name. Meyer Commission is available. The prince thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. They want to lend money and collect money but don't want to leak their wealth. For Meyer, the fame of lending money to the King is what he dreams of. Not only will he get a reliable return, but it is also an excellent opportunity to improve his credibility. The result was a huge success for the loan. Immediately afterwards, six more loans from the Danish royal family were closed through Meyer. Rothschild's reputation grew, especially as his close ties to the royal family began to become known throughout Europe.

After Napoleon came to power, he tried to bring Prince William to his side. Prince William was on both sides of the fence and was unwilling to choose a side before the situation became clear. In the end, Napoleon took the trouble to declare that "Heath-Kay" "Se (Prince William's family) was removed from the list of European rulers." Immediately after the French troops pressed on the border, Prince William fled to Denmark in a hurry. Before fleeing, he handed a sum of cash worth 3 million US dollars to Meyer for safekeeping. It was this 3 million in cash that brought Meyer unprecedented power and wealth, becoming the first pot of gold for Meyer to lead his financial empire.

Meyer had much greater ambitions than establishing a Bank of England! When he gets this huge sum of money from Prince William, he will start to deploy his troops. His five sons were like five sharp arrows shooting toward the five heartlands of Europe. The eldest brother Amslow guarded the headquarters in Frankfurt, the second brother Solomon went to Vienna to open a new battlefield, the third brother Nathan was sent to the United Kingdom to take charge of the overall situation, and the fourth brother Carl went to Naples, Italy to establish a base and shuttled back and forth as a messenger between the brothers. James, the fifth child, is in charge of the Paris business.

A financial empire unprecedented in human history has begun.

Before his death in 1812, Rothschild Sr. made a strict will:

(1) All important positions in the family bank must be held by family insiders and never outsider. Only male family members can participate in family business activities.

(2) Family intermarriage can only be carried out between cousins ??to prevent the dilution and outflow of wealth. This rule was strictly enforced in the early days, but was later relaxed to allow intermarriage with other Jewish banking families.

(3) Property information is absolutely not allowed to be announced to the public.

(4) Lawyers are absolutely not allowed to get involved in property inheritance.

(5) The eldest son of each family serves as the leader of each family. Only with unanimous consent of the family can another second son be selected to take over. Anyone who violates the will will lose all inheritance rights.

There is a saying in China that brothers who work together can cut through metal. The Rothschild family strictly prevents the dilution and outflow of wealth through intermarriage within the family. In more than 100 years, there have been 18 intermarriages within the family, 16 of which were between first cousins.

It is estimated that around 1850, the Rothschild family accumulated wealth equivalent to US$6 billion. If calculated based on a rate of return of 6, today, more than 150 years later, their family’s assets will be at least US$30 trillion.
