Chapter 41: Military Parade
I have to admit that Rivera chose a good time. The entire Vienna government was busy with military parades, and the emergence of a few more investment companies did not attract everyone's attention at all.
Similar financing has not happened before, but it is usually done by listed companies. As long as there are no issues with the project, approvals won't get stuck.
As a financial professional, Rivera is an expert in this. Naturally, there are procedures, but the sheep head is hung and the dog meat is sold.
Even the 70 million contract is carefully prepared. The purpose is to touch the porcelain, the loan contract signed by Spain with the domestic commercial bank.
Although the newspapers in Vienna reported on it, it was difficult to convey information in those years, and it was impossible for the newspapers in Vienna to reach the whole world.
So the financing conference in Vienna, it starts according to the normal process. There is a direct showdown of risks and returns, and I don't want to invest.
The real circle of money is still outside, east to Moscow, north to Stockholm, west to London, and even North America far overseas, are Rivera's targets.
Such a huge scam is certainly not something Rivera can do alone, so a split is a must.
Without the help of fellow Jews around the world, the Rivera Project would not have been able to proceed. Of course, most people don't know they're involved in a scam right now.
Many people thought that this was an epoch-making business model, and many Jewish capitalists who participated in it also joined the shares.
According to Rivera's business blueprint, they will definitely raise more money than Spanish loans, and the excess money will still be used to continue investing.
You must know that now is the final stage of the economic crisis, and all assets are the cheapest, and it is the best time to buy the bottom.
As long as you get through the most difficult period, you will be rewarded with blood. It's just that this kind of thing can only be done by big conglomerates and big capitalists.
Ordinary people are limited by funds and cannot accurately grasp the time of buying the bottom, so they participate in advance, and they will be consumed to death if they can't wait for the crisis to pass.
But it is not the same when everyone unites, and thousands of middle-class and petty-bourgeoisie unite to have absolutely no worse wealth than any consortium.
With so much cash flow, you can get a piece of the bottom game. As investors, they are shareholders of the new consortium.
It just so happens that the economic crisis has just passed, and the panic among the people has not yet had time to dissipate, and they dare not make investments.
Keep the money in the bank, not to mention that there is no interest on the demand deposit, and there is also a fund management fee; Although there is a small amount of interest on the term, it is also a real term, and it is not possible to withdraw it in advance.
A large amount of cash is left at home, and there are safety risks, and the rich are also worried.
Everyone has an idea in their minds: it would be nice if there was an investment channel that could get stable and good returns.
The demand-setting scam, a routine that could be popular in the 21st century, was even more difficult to defend against in the 19th century.
Spain is in financial difficulty, and everyone knows that it is not in difficulty and will not borrow from foreign debt. But if you want to say that the Spanish government will go bankrupt, then many people will jump out and refute it.
Despite its decline, in the eyes of ordinary people, Spain is still the fourth largest power in the world after the three great powers of Britain and Russia.
Not only do they still have fertile colonies, but they also have the family resources accumulated by the colonial empire over hundreds of years. As long as you take this breath now, it will get better later.
Besides, isn't there still collateral after bankruptcy?
Wait for a substitution, borrow a few terms of the loan contract signed by Spain and several major commercial banks in the world guaranteed by the Vienna government, and the risk will be reduced at once.
How can ordinary people who don't know the inside story be able to distinguish the real from the fake? Even if someone finds out the problem, the people around him will help him reduce his intelligence.
"If the number of people exceeds 10,000, the IQ will be halved".
Of course, the number of people who attend each preaching meeting will not exceed 10,000. But a good story can also help reduce intelligence.
Even if the participants are all high-intelligence people, then you can arrange for a few to drag them in. As long as someone takes the lead in throwing money into it, the people behind will not be far from being fooled.
It's not like waiting for 30 years to return to the cost, and the next month will be effective after investment. Even if they are skeptical, there are still many people who try to make a profit.
After seeing the benefits, no one knows if you can hold back. Anyway, the scam has just begun, and it is still too early to close the net?
Not to mention ordinary people, even Rivera herself is now immersed in a beautifully crafted story.
Theoretically, as long as the Spanish government does not crash and the cash flow of investment companies does not break, this scam can continue for a long time.
First, take the investment of the previous investors and lend to the Spanish government; Then take the investment of the latter and distribute interest dividends to the previous investors.
Excess funds can also be taken out and invested. Anyway, the funds in the early stage will definitely be abundant, and you can buy and buy in a big way.
If the economy recovers quickly enough, the low-priced assets you buy now will soon increase in value.
As long as you make money fast enough, interest dividends are not a thing. The big deal is to gradually reduce the interest dividends of investors in the later stage to reduce the risk of capital chain breakage.
As long as the plan is successful, then Rivera is not a liar, but a great entrepreneur. Become a grandmaster in the field of capital operation for future generations to pay homage to Mobai.
In the way of doing business, playing capital scams. Rivera bursts with the enthusiasm of an entrepreneur and looks like a successful person wherever she goes.
Not only did the investors fool, but the employees of the company were fooled into not being able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and many people emptied their families and joined the road to prosperity.
Investing in "employee stock ownership" is typically full of confidence. We have to invest more, or we will have to drink soup.
Beginning in the second half of 1895, Mr. Rivera, the great mentor of capital operation, began the road of "lecture tour" around the world.
Not only fooling investors, but also recruiting talents from all walks of life, ready to do a big job.
So much so that Adler, as an insider, is in deep self-doubt. is clearly an entrepreneur, where is a liar?
……
The game of capital continues, and the parade for the third anniversary of the Holy Roman Empire has begun. Franz rode on a tall white horse and led a group of men to inspect the whole army.
Waving, non-existent. With his riding skills, if he took his hands off the reins, something might happen.
What's more, he is the emperor, and he doesn't need to be close to the people during the military parade, as long as he maintains his majesty, it is enough.
In fact, Franz preferred to sit in his epoch-making sedan to inspect the troops rather than riding a military parade.
The Holy Roman Empire had a chivalric tradition, and the Habsburgs were the best of them. In order to show the martial spirit, Franz had to choose to ride a military parade.
The emperor who is over the age of sixteen is still able to ride a war horse to inspect the troops, what else is there to say?
I didn't look at the top of the government, they were all absent en masse. It's not that I don't want to come shopping, but my body really can't stand the toss.
Franz, who is 65 years old, can parade on horseback, which is not equal to the top cabinet members in their seventies and eighties, but also on horseback.
In case of some accidents, the solemn military parade turns into a farce. This was something that Franz could not tolerate, and directly ordered the high-ranking officials to rest in the background.
The top level of the cabinet can only watch from the sidelines, and other government officials can only follow and watch the excitement. For no other reason, the identity grade is not enough.
So much so that this military parade in 1895 became a special session for military generals. In addition to the members of the royal family, they were followed by generals and marshals.
After a round of inspection, dragging his slightly tired body back to the city tower, Franz said slowly: "Let's start!" ”
The salute sounded, and the national flag guards, who held high the double eagle flag, took the lead in the performance.
With neat steps, every movement is accurate to the centimeter. From the side, it is a line, and the soldiers on the field are all solemn, high-spirited, and high-spirited.
The flag-raising ceremony began, accompanied by the sound of the national anthem, except for the emperor and empress, who were still seated safely, the rest of the people had already stood up and watched the national flag slowly rise.
Frankly, Franz didn't like to play with these rituals, but he had to admit that they did have a need for them.
glanced at the audience, everyone looked solemn, staring at the national flag and slowly raising the flag, at this time, he was probably the emperor who was still looking around.
You must know that the camera is on, and if you are caught in an indecent scene, it will be an eternal stain.
Of course, this does not include Franz. As a successful old emperor, any move will be interpreted with the help of someone.
Others are looking around, that is, "looking around, looking left and right"; When the emperor looked around, he was reviewing the whole audience.
After the national flag was raised, the parade troops lined up in a phalanx and walked towards the Vienna Palace Square at one time. Fortunately, Franz expanded the palace at the same time, and also expanded the square, otherwise he would not have been able to play the parade.
Looking at it, I saw a phalanx with neat steps, head held high, and full of energy.
The first to come was the honor guard of the three services, followed by the army, navy, air force, and state military......
Then came the majestic armoured, tank, and artillery formations. It seems to be an innate domineering, and it can be daunting when you look at it from afar.
The last thing to fly through the air was the amazing air echelon. As representatives of the Air Force, although these fighters made their debut late, they ended quickly.
Airships have withdrawn from the core of the Air Force, and now the combat power of the Air Force has become an aircraft. In the spirit of perfection, 100 fighters are the foundation of the Air Force this time.
It's a pity that the flight speed is too fast, and it only takes a few minutes to make three big circles around the square, and before and after I don't understand much, I returned home.
As for the flying stunts, just think about it, Franz has not lived enough to die. Despite the fact that the Air Force repeatedly stated that there were no problems, the cautious emperor restrained their desire to perform.
In fact, Franz had already mustered up the courage to let the plane fly overhead. There is no way, there have been many aviation accidents in recent years.
Take the Air Force of the Holy Roman Empire as an example, if there are not a few flight accidents in any year, then Franz loses.
In line with the choice of safety first, Franz has never been to fly. At the same time, it is forbidden for any plane to fly above his head.
This ban is obviously redundant, and no one dares to run above the emperor's head to fly, which means disrespect to the emperor and a proper felony.
Including the parade, the planes participating in the performance were far away from His Majesty the Great Emperor. For fear of being misunderstood, he stood on top of the emperor's head.
