Surviving as a Writer in the British Empire - Surviving as a Writer in the British Empire chapter 34

Bearings Scandal(3)

The statement submitted by Hanslo Jean, the author of ＜Vincent Villiers＞, went through Scotland Yard and went up to the London Securities Commission.

But, of course, this alone couldn’t solve the problem.

Even today, in the Securities Commission, which had been divided into the Leaderdale faction and the Marshall faction, goosebumps went back and forth.

“Didn’t you know?! Does this make sense!? You didn’t know that you caused this situation!?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Why bother a mediocre novelist in the first place? The problem now is not the governor!”

“It’s not usually suspicious! Who is Hanslo Jin in the first place? Are you British right? There are rumors that you are German, but isn’t that a conspiracy by the Krauts to incite internal strife in the British Empire?!”

“You have nothing to say, so are you bringing up conspiracy theories? If it was really a German franchise, it would have been exposed before the bailout was implemented! But to say this after the restructuring has already been completed means you really don’t know anything!”

“So this is all a coincidence?! You mean believe it now!?”

Of course, it wasn’t entirely a coincidence.

Like the adage that human greed is endless and repeats the same mistake, British people at this time may not have expected it, but something similar to the present situation will happen in the United States in the distant future.

The subprime mortgage crisis and the resulting financial bailout for Lehman Brothers.

This incident, which had a tremendous ripple effect on the global economy, has been a topic of chewing, biting, and tasting for nearly 20 years, and has settled down as a typical cliché of corporate web novels in Korea.

In other words, it was the result of a grenade that came out of the future and accidentally flowed into the past.

“Ah, so what do you mean!”

“What the heck! Let’s take this opportunity to discipline those who say they are private banks and private companies! In the first place, those bastards, it was disgraceful to receive the investment as it was invested and not do the job properly!!”

“Are you insane now? Let’s infringe on the free economic activities of private companies!?”

“That bastard’s freedom! If that’s the case, just like Professor Marshall said, aren’t they free to go bankrupt!?”

“No, that’s why I’m just watching the company go bankrupt!!”

In the first place, this is fundamentally a problem that arose because the concept of capitalism was not growing properly.

The theory and reality do not match, and the contradiction that the nation conveniently chooses to eat was only exposed a little prematurely by Mirae People.

In a way, it could be called an inoculation, but like children who get vaccinated, the British didn’t really appreciate it.

rather.

“The reason why things that could have been overlooked in the first place were exposed was all because of Hanslo Jin.”

An incoherent brawl that lasted for nearly a fortnight.

Tired of that, the governor of the Bank of England, William Ridderdale, gritted his teeth.

Of course, the real culprit is none other than the London Stock Exchange.

If it had not been for their absurd misunderstanding, he would never have gone through such an ordeal.

But crayfish are on the side of crabs, so the central bank couldn’t really fight the stock exchange.

We can’t do that unless we all want to perish together.

The head of the stock exchange is well aware of that. The reason they didn’t lift Leaderdale’s injunction was because they were watching Alfred Marshall.

The Securities Commission was an organization strongly influenced by academia, and Marshall is one of the greats of that academia.

Therefore, there is only one thing needed to reach an amicable mutual agreement and end in a draw.

It is a plausible burnt offering.

“Tell it to Scotland Yard! Don’t just send requests for cooperation, arrest them and investigate! We must make them pay the price for daring to ridicule the financial sector of the British Empire!!”

but. they didn’t know

That the victim had a back boat that should not be turned into an enemy as much as the London Stock Exchange.

“You’re too tired for a ridiculous scandal, President.”

“… Baron Rothschild?”

Ferdinand de Rothschild.

not going He was from Austria and had a position and position separate from the Rothschild branch in England, and was not significantly involved in the activities of Nathaniel Mayer Rothschild, the head of the British branch.

However, in other words, it also means that he is a skilled person who can demonstrate his power as long as he opens his mouth. It also means the hidden power of the Rothschild family in England.

After all, it was clear that the governor of the Bank of England could not be taken lightly.

“I will arbitrate with the London Stock Exchange.”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course, even from the standpoint of the Rothschild family, it is not desirable that the London business world continue to be noisy.”

It was not wrong.

Ferdinand individual is a member of the Liberal Party, and he is a person who proclaims the protection of minorities, led by Jews, but he was never a great man who would support poor relief or market regulation, as rich people always do.

Above all, at the time of the Barings Bank bailout, it was Nathan, the head of the Rothschild branch in England, who pushed William from behind.

That’s why William was able to subtly nod his head.

“If the baron would do that, I could ask for nothing more…”

“Instead, let’s leave this whole affair out of the question. He, a novelist? Even with Hanslo Jin.”

“What do you mean?”

At that, William Ridderdale narrowed his eyes and looked at Ferdinand.

And I found out right away.

Ah, this is a warning combined with intervention. Hanslo Jin told me not to approach him…

No, because of only one novelist, the hidden power of the Rothschild family came directly to the governor of the Bank of England?

‘no way······.’

Is Hanslo Jean a Rothschild Jew?

It was a pretty plausible guess for William.

Originally, Jews are famous for the financial industry, but the art world is no less engaged in it.

It was because they could not legally own land or join a union.

This is the case in Spain, but isn’t the famous Cervantes also a Jew?

‘if so······.’

······Isn’t this a pretty decent business?

No matter how tight the Rothschilds are in the financial world, they are still strangers to British aristocratic families, and only at the level of barons.

If it were known that a Rothschild member was writing a novel openly fighting against the aristocratic family, he would have no choice but to get out of London after being shot in the crossfire by other aristocrats.

‘If only I could get out of my predicament here, and get rid of the Rothschild’s weakness, and even get rid of the debt I owe to the Liberal Party…’

Isn’t it really two birds with one stone, or three birds with one stone?

It was at that time that William Ridderdale tried to smile happily with such anticipation.

“Hmm, it looks like there’s some misunderstanding.”

“yes? What do you mean by that?”

“He has nothing to do with this side. It’s just that through our connections this time, we ended up taking on the accounting for that business. You don’t have to take care of your own rice bowl.”

How is it different from a bank?

The moment William tries to get angry at the words that seem to dig up his painful wounds.

“Governor.”

“Ugh. What is it?”

“Excuse me, but a certain naval officer told me to pass this note…”

what else is this

William and even Ferdinand frowned in displeasure.

The governor of the Bank of England and the actual head of the Rothschild family are having a meeting, and they only tick messages like this.

naval officer? I don’t know who it is, but I wondered if it wasn’t really a rude author…

‘No, you can!’

William stopped thinking when he saw the lion and unicorn seals proudly stamped on the note.

For those who are above all laws and courtesy, the concept of rudeness cannot exist.

‘What the hell is going on.’

Leaderdale was so frightened that he opened the note.

And, I had to break out in a cold sweat at that simple command.

– Hanslo, don’t touch Jin.

ah.

it’s X

William Ridderdale was reduced to ashes. And White Ash said to the bewildered Ferdinand.

“… Baron Rothschild.”

“Tell me.”

“Can I ask you to mediate?”

“Oh, of course. I came here for that… More than that, are you okay?”

“hahahaha, it’s okay… I’ve given up on everything now.”

“…”

Looking at the old man who seemed to be 10 years older in a moment, Ferdinand de Rothschild could only tilt his head.

‘Well, it’s not something to be concerned about.’

Anyway, he got what he wanted.

Ferdinand cheered up and remembered the man who came to his house a few days ago.

***

A few days ago, Buckinghamshire.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you outside the auction house. Frederick.”

“I should have had this opportunity more often. ha ha ha.”

Frederick Alba Miller toured Buckinghamshire’s famous Waddesdon Manor.

It was a place where the taste of Baron Ferdinand was fully reflected and the splendid castle and gardens in the Neo-Renaissance style that imitated the individual characteristics of French castles were pleasing to the eye.

After all, Clara and the four children should come to see a place like this… Frederic went into the parlor feeling very sorry.

“Yeah, so what are you doing?”

“First of all, thank you for accepting this unexpected request.”

“ha ha ha. Why are you guys like this It’s an honor to be able to take a step toward doing something good.”

Conversation as if to say hello to each other with a friendly smile.

But Miller wasn’t stupid enough to not know that the Rothschilds were already aware of everything.

“The Alice and Peter Foundation. hahahahaha, I think our Samuel will be very surprised.”

“Well, it’s a very blatant name.”

Miller sighed deeply and shook his head.

“It’s good to do good things, but it’s a problem because you seem to have stepped on a useless landmine while working too hard.”

“Whoop whoop. You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit for that kind of thing?”

“Well, it’s fun because it’s like watching the trouble-prone youngest brother.”

“Come together with an accident… Actually, this accident was a bit big. It’s been a long time since the London Stock Exchange has been so mad. If it was a good sight, it was a good sight. ha ha ha!”

“ha.”

Frederic Alba Miller smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Certainly, that itself was a bit of an interesting sight, but…

“It was the result of a strange spark. My staff did nothing wrong.”

“Well, I agree with that.”

For Ferdinand, an Austrian, democracy in England was a truly bizarre political system.

It was the same in that it was one vote for all citizens, but it was trying to make the two compatible while trying to openly divide the class with capitalism….

What the hell are you thinking about maintaining such a system?

Of course, that’s not what’s important right now.

From noble mtl dot com

“One, this world doesn’t go around so easily that people don’t take responsibility just because they didn’t do anything wrong.”

“That’s why I came to ask you. Your Excellency Baron Rothschild. If Your Excellency would intercede, wouldn’t this childish skit come to an end?”

“Hmm.”

Ferdinand scratched his chin.

Certainly, if he interceded, two financial institutions inflexible for pride and face would bow their heads.

but.

“Is there any reason for that?”

Should I be a part of that troublesome playing house just because of a simple friendship?

Ferdinand asked, and Miller looked straight at him with a deep sigh.

And he spat out a single word.

“Zionism.”

“······hmm.”

Ferdinand took a breath.

Zionism. Zionism.

An ambitious plan to build a utopia for the wandering Jewish people with nowhere to go.

“Last year, was it empty? He wrote really well for a college student.”

“What do you want to say?”

Even though the Rothschilds were transferred to the vested interests with money… No, rather, because of that, they were well aware of the persecution and oppression that the Jews were subjected to, and were secretly supporting them.

Since money can buy anything, to a man who wants to buy even a country.

For love, said the man who once gave up his country calmly.

“I make an offer you can’t refuse.”

“…”

“As you may have noticed, I have a card in my hand right now that can sway public opinion in this country. More than anything else, it’s a quiet, yet violent card.”

indeed. Ferdinand said with a bitter smile.

“Will you let me use that card too?”

“That is unreasonable. You know how rebellious that friend is by looking at it so far.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. That’s right.”

“However, he is a very good friend.”

Miller finished his speech calmly, and Ferdinand took the hint.

‘······It would be nice to be close.’

The old man, who would do anything for the sake of his family’s longing, smiled and nodded.

“Good. I guess I’ll have to stop by the bank after a long time.”

“thank you.”

“So, would you like to have dinner together tonight?”

“Ouch.”

It’s an honor.

Miller laughed and took Ferdinand’s outstretched hand.

‘I let go of this for an hour.’

After all, it is an employee who needs a lot of hands.

Miller thought to himself with a bitter laugh.
