America 1919-Chapter 901 - 308, Rothschild

When Donnie and his entourage arrived in London, a long fleet of Rolls-Royce cars was already waiting for them at the station.

Everyone stepping off the train was shocked by such a grand scene.

They all wondered what kind of prominent figure had arrived in London!

When Donnie stepped off the train, he smiled—not because of the grandeur of the reception, but because he saw Walker, who had arrived in London ahead of him.

This trip to London was not just to negotiate with the Rothschild family about acquiring shares in the Federal Reserve, but also, as in Germany, it was to lay the groundwork for his business ventures in Europe. Walker’s Astor Family proved exceptionally important in this regard.

Seeing Donnie, Walker also broke into a wide smile and walked forward to embrace him.

"Let me introduce you to Mr. Anthony of Rothschild!"

Through Walker’s introduction, Donnie came to know Anthony Rothschild, the representative of the Rothschild family’s United Kingdom branch.

His grandfather was Lionel Rothschild, the leader of the Rothschild family’s British branch and head of the entire Rothschild family.

His grandmother, Charlotte Rothschild, was the daughter of Carl Rothschild, the fourth of the "Five Tigers" in the Italian branch of the Rothschild family’s second generation.

If Lionel Rothschild and Charlotte Rothschild hadn’t married, Lionel Rothschild would have called Charlotte Rothschild his cousin.

This was just a microcosm of the entangled intra-family relationships of the Rothschild clan. For example, Alphonse Rothschild, the eldest son of James Rothschild from the French branch, married Leonora Rothschild, the daughter of his cousin Lionel Rothschild.

Such familial arrangements were standard practice within the Rothschild family.

"Mr. Block, welcome to the United Kingdom!"

Anthony Rothschild greeted Donnie with a big embrace.

Donnie smiled and said, "I’m sorry for troubling you to greet me personally, Mr. Anthony!"

Anthony Rothschild chuckled, "It’s my duty. I’ve heard much about your accomplishments in the United States, Mr. Block. If business weren’t so hectic, I’d have visited you there long ago!"

Anthony Rothschild’s brother, Neddy Rothschild, who is the head of the Rothschild family’s United Kingdom branch, has been in poor health recently. If no miracle occurs, Neddy Rothschild is expected to pass away in October of this year.

Donnie replied, "That’s part of the reason I’m here in the United Kingdom as well!"

After engaging in some pleasantries, the two boarded a car and headed straight to a luxurious London hotel.

"Anthony has been in contact with the Warburg family and understands that you prefer to stay at a hotel, so arrangements have been made here," Walker explained to Donnie in the car.

Donnie nodded without objection but planned to have Steve Cotting and his team thoroughly inspect the accommodations upon arrival.

Unlike the gathering at the Warburg family’s residence, where they spent an evening getting acquainted over dinner,

as soon as Donnie and his entourage arrived at the hotel, Donnie, Walker, and Anthony Rothschild convened a meeting in the hotel’s conference room regarding Venus Bank’s intent to integrate into the Federal Reserve.

"Mr. Anthony, are you able to fully represent the Rothschild family in this matter?"

Donnie asked Anthony Rothschild bluntly.

Meyer Rothschild founded the entire Rothschild dynasty. His five sons—Amschel Rothschild, Salomon Rothschild, Nathan Rothschild, Carl Rothschild, and James Rothschild—were regarded as the "Five Tigers" of the Rothschild family. frёewebnoѵēl.com

It was these five who expanded and strengthened the Rothschild empire.

Amschel Rothschild oversaw the Rothschild family’s headquarters in Germany at the time.

Accompanying him were Salomon Rothschild and Carl Rothschild.

Nathan Rothschild developed the family’s business in the United Kingdom, while James Rothschild expanded to France.

Among the Five Tigers, Nathan Rothschild emerged as the leader of the Rothschild family’s second generation.

After analyzing Europe’s political landscape at the time, Nathan Rothschild sent Salomon Rothschild to Vienna, Austria, to establish Rothschild Bank and Carl Rothschild to Naples, Italy, for the same purpose.

Thus, the Rothschild family completed its strategic layout across Europe, earning the title of the "Sixth Great Empire" among European elites.

However, even the mighty Rothschild empire could not resist the tide of history.

Following the end of World War I, the Rothschild family’s influence in Germany began to wane, replaced by the Warburg family. Meanwhile, the Italian branch of the Rothschild family also saw its clout diminish.

Today, the British, French, and Austrian branches are the strongest within the entire Rothschild family.

Nonetheless, unity remains a defining characteristic of the Rothschild family; any major decision, such as the Federal Reserve’s integration, requires unanimous consent from the entire family.

Hence, Donnie directly questioned Anthony Rothschild about whether he could represent the entire Rothschild family.
