Who is the richest man in the world?

Speaking of the "Red Shield Family", at first glance, many people thought they had never heard of it. At most, they will have some guesses: Does red represent blood? The red shield is probably a blood shield or a blood shield. Maybe it's a famous family of soldiers or generals at home and abroad, but I don't know yet, or it's a family where people have joined the army or been generals for generations. However, if I say "Rothschild family" (or "Rothschild family"), many people will suddenly realize that it is the world's first wealth family mentioned in Song Hongbing's currency war, controlling assets of $30 trillion, more than Bill Gates; It is said that many historical events, including two world wars and the assassination of several American presidents, were behind the scenes; The Rothschild family is simply the driving force behind the world politics and economy, and it is simply a "big schemer" who hides in a dark corner to play cruel tricks in order to gain the ultimate wealth and power! The Rothschild family originated from German Jews. Roth is German, Roth is red in English, and child is shield in English. The pronunciation is very close to "Hill", which together means "Red Shield". Let's go deep into history and reality, see the beginning and ups and downs of the Red Shield family, and feel the true legend of this prestigious wealth family. Mel Amcher Rothschild, founder of the Red Shield family, was born. MayerAmschelRothschild is the founder of the Red Shield family. 1744, he was born in the Jewish community in Frankfurt, Germany, where his family has lived for more than 200 years. Meyer went to Hanover Bank to study financial practice when he was young-this is one of the few traditional occupations that European Jews can engage in. Meyer returned to Frankfurt at the age of 20 and engaged in antique business, including ancient coins. It is said that he always puts a red shield in front of his shop-I don't know what the purpose is, maybe it's purely out of love for this badge, maybe it reflects the brand awareness-anyway, over time, this red shield has become the symbol of Meyer's antique shop and even himself, and people nearby are trying to call the Meyer family Red Shield. At that time, the princes and nobles in Europe had an elegant hobby: collecting ancient coins. If you can become bigger in the ancient coin market, you will not only gain wealth. Meyer devoted a lot of energy and enthusiasm to writing a manual of ancient coins, explaining it in detail and distributing it to princes and nobles all over the country, casting a wide net, hoping to win favor. As long as the powerful aristocrats take a fancy to Meyer through this book, they can make a splash. Meyer's efforts were echoed by the Duke of Hesse. Hesse was a very rich man, and his net worth was astronomical at that time. His business is renting troops to fight for others. Hesse's biggest customer is Britain, because at that time, the war of independence broke out in the British North American colony, and Britain was in urgent need of military pressure. Meyer, who caught a big fish, sold a large number of precious ancient badges and coins to Hesse, and tried his best to help Hesse collect ancient coins and explore and create opportunities to help the Duke make money. Meyer spent a lot of money on Hesse, and he gained Hesse's trust and friendship. Later, in order to avoid Napoleon's attack, Hesse left Frankfurt and Denmark as a fugitive, leaving him with 3 million pounds for safekeeping, which is the rent used by Hesse's army in Britain. This huge sum made Meyer the first international banker in Europe at that time. Later, Meyer returned the 3 million pounds to Hesse with interest. This gave the red shield family, which had already emerged at that time, a remarkable proof of the brand value of the enterprise: our reputation is supreme, and the money is safe and rewarding here. Meyer's investment skills are extraordinary. Once he gets close to a big shot with great potential value, he will provide services and create value at all costs. When you have established an unbreakable deep affection and relationship with each other, you can "cash out" this affection and relationship. By that time, the potential value will become real value, and the return will be much higher than that of ordinary business. Not only that, Meyer fully realized the value of information. He worked hard and gradually established a family-specific information transmission network across Europe, which enabled him to know some information earlier than others on many important events. With the growing business of the Red Shield family, more and more dignitaries are known and more and more important sources of information are available. Therefore, this information transmission network is fast and reliable. It is said that Queen Victoria of England often likes to send letters to her by Meyer's messenger. A flower with five branches left: Solomon Rothschild, middle: Amhilo Rothschild, right: Kaman Rothschild, Paris, France. On April 15, 2007, Eric Rothschild attended the commemoration of the Holocaust in Nazi concentration camps. Meyer has five children under his knee. They are: AmschelMayerRothschild, SalomonMayerRothschild, NathanMayerRothschild, CalmannMayerRothschild, JamesMayerRothschild. As the saying goes, "Like father, like son", no one in the Red Shield family is a coward. The most talented is his third son, Natan. 1804 came to London alone to make a breakthrough in the world, starting with the textile business. At that time, Napoleon in continental Europe was full of momentum and the army was invincible. Many German nobles couldn't stay any longer and went into exile in Britain, including Count William of Frankfurt. In order to preserve and increase the value of his property, William entrusted Nathan to buy a large number of British bonds. With a keen sense of touch, Natan felt that this business was very profitable, and took the opportunity to start his own bonds and stocks, which was equivalent to the business of brokers and investment banks. Natan's ability was richly rewarded. He quickly accumulated wealth and became a tycoon in London's financial circles. Later, he seized the opportunity and used his wealth to "break his promise" to the British government and became very close to many military and political dignitaries. Natan's success in England inspired his father Meyer. The Red Shield family began to establish branches of the Rothschild family bank in all parts of Europe, forming a trend of "one flower and five branches": Meyer and his eldest son Amhilo sat in the Frankfurt branch; The second son Solomon controls the Vienna branch; The third son Natan leads the London branch; The fourth son Kaman is in charge of the Naples branch; The youngest son, James, is in charge of the Paris branch. In this way, a huge financial and commercial empire has begun to take shape. The amazing calligraphy of the third son Natan is still behind. 1815 June18, the anti-French Coalition forces and Napoleon fought a decisive battle in Waterloo, Belgium. Whoever wins or loses, although no one has the ability to predict, if someone can know the result before others in the morning, he will make a lot of money. If the anti-French Coalition forces win, the British government bond market will be bullish, just do more; On the contrary, it's just short. The information transmission network of the Red Shield family played a role at this time. Someone on the mainland first learned the news of Napoleon's defeat through special channels, and quickly took a clipper from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, crossed the strait and arrived in Britain, and delivered the news to Natan non-stop. Nathan rushed to London at once. He knew the news several hours before the British government. The time difference between these two hours means a lot of money. It can be seen that "time is money" is by no means appropriate. Before coming to a fixed seat on the London Stock Exchange, Natan made a surprising decision: to sell British government bonds. This situation falls in the eyes of every investor present. Everyone is thinking: if Natan loses, Britain will definitely be defeated, and I will cut the meat and warehouse quickly. Panic selling began and the price of British government bonds plummeted. Nathan felt that the bottom was coming, and secretly sent instructions to his agent. He ate infinitely. The man who was killed was so confused that he couldn't even read it. Soon, the good news came that the price of British government bonds soared. In just a few hours, Natan made millions of pounds. In this way, Meyer's five sons, relying on the powerful resources of the family, gave full play to their respective business talents and constantly expanded the business and wealth of the Rothschild family. They set up banks in various places, covering the business of commercial banks and investment banks, and also set up various industries such as railways, communications, steel, coal and oil. And become a well-known wealth family. True Vs rumor German William IX and banker Meyer Rothschild both belong to a farm of the Rothschild family in France. The Red Shield family, like many Jewish wealth families, put money first and thought that "once money jingles, bad words will come to an abrupt end". Meyer left a family motto and asked his descendants to adhere to family harmony. "As long as we are United, we will be invincible; Breaking up is the beginning of your loss of prosperity. " The way for the Red Shield family to get rich is nothing more than understanding politics and economy. If you don't ask politics, you can only make money, but you can't guarantee to make money, and you can't guarantee to keep the money you earn; You can play politics, make a lot of money, and keep the money you earn. Power and relationships themselves are assets that can bring income. The Red Shield family made extensive friends with powerful people, established personal relationships, and even married them, which not only accumulated wealth, but also expanded the family and achieved "wealth and splendor". The Red Shield family insists on the consistency of individual, family and national interests. Natan refused to do business with any German city that refused to grant Jewish citizenship. Natan's son LionelNathanRothschild is not under his father's leadership. He once lent the British government a huge sum of 4 million pounds to buy shares in the Suez Canal sold by the king of Egypt, thus enabling Britain to control the Suez Canal, and Lionel Rothschild became a great hero admired by the whole country overnight. Lionel was elected to the British House of Commons. He didn't want to take the Christian way, but insisted on taking the oath by hand according to the Jewish way and the Bible. Finally, the request was accepted. This is an extraordinary victory, which has inspired European Jews who have been discriminated against and persecuted for a long time. Lionel has a famous saying: "I have two great honors: first, I am a member of the Rothschild family;" Second, I am Jewish. "This fully shows the family and national interests of him and even the Red Shield family from generation to generation. The Red Shield family has a lot to do with Zionism. At the beginning of the 20th century, millions of dollars were provided to early Jewish immigrants who moved to Palestine to help them buy land and production equipment and live and work in peace and contentment. And actively participated in the reconstruction of the Jewish state. The Balfour Declaration issued by the British government declared that Palestine would become "the homeland of the Jews" and it was also the blueprint for the later establishment of Israel. This famous historical document was sent by the British Foreign Office and published in the name of Lord Nathaniel Maywitt Rothschild, the British branch of the Rothschild family. The Jewish family background of the Red Shield family and its connection with the Zionist movement naturally became the target of all previous anti-Semitic movements. During the Nazi period, many members of the German branch of the Rothschild family were killed. In addition, all kinds of conspiracy theories based on anti-Semitism and featuring the Red Shield family are also popular, satisfying some people's imagination of the hidden wealth and behavior of this family. The master of money and his version of currency war in China are neither the first nor the last. The story of the Red Shield family has also been put on the screen and stage. The Hollywood film TheHouseofRothschild from 65438 to 0934 was starring Georges Ellis and LorettaYoung, focusing on Meyer's life. Several segments of this film highlight the Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda "DerewigeJude". Broadway musical TheRothschilds was also nominated by TonyAward 197 1. Rothschild is synonymous with wealth in French and Hebrew. So how rich is the Rothschild family now? At present, the annual turnover of Rothschild Bank Group is less than $10 billion, and the profit is less than $3 billion. At the interest rate of 65,438+00%, its assets are worth about 30 billion US dollars, which is only a fraction of that of big banks such as HSBC and Citigroup. The main reason is that the Rothschild family was not optimistic about the American economy in the middle of the19th century and cancelled all branches in the United States. In hindsight, this was a big mistake, which gave the American Morgan family room to rise. Therefore, conspiracy theories that claim how much influence the Rothschild family has on the American economy are simply not to the point. In addition, the Rothschild family suffered heavy losses in World War II. Under Nazi rule and war, many of its assets in Germany, France and Italy disappeared, leaving few family forces in continental Europe. Assets in Britain are well preserved. Family business has both advantages and limitations. It is almost impossible to achieve the success and glory of the present world only by relying on the family's own funds. Nowadays, the financial market is globalized and the competition is fierce, so it is increasingly difficult to manipulate the financial market in any way for profit. In the recent subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and UBS all suffered heavy losses. If the financial market is stable, the CEOs of Citigroup and Merrill Lynch will not leave in disgrace. The red shield family was once brilliant, and it is still sticking to it. From this point of view, the gentleman's ze, V does not cut. This is really awesome, but it is by no means as awesome as conspiracy theorists claim. The way for the Red Shield family to get rich is nothing more than understanding politics and economy. If you don't ask politics, you can only make money, but you can't guarantee to make money, and you can't guarantee to keep the money you earn; You can play politics, make a lot of money, and keep the money you earn. Power and relationships themselves are assets that can bring income.
