  "Oh, God, take me to the Holy Mother Mary for confession, Pope, take me to the sensual Saint Philomena for forgiveness, I shouldn't have done that in my dream, yes, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please punish me, but please don't let the punishment fall on the head of beloved Petrenyef."

  The scoundrel Mack stretched out his hands to the sky, let out a mournful howl, thinking of the tens of thousands of taels of silver that were about to disappear, and began to pray.

  "Mike, do you think this game is still suspenseful?" Luo Kai asked with a smile.

  Although the lecherous man Mack appears to be particularly crazy when watching the game, a special hobby cannot explain that his IQ is problematic. On the contrary, the lecherous man Mack's IQ is very high. The situation on the stage is already very clear. Li Jingcang has completely taken control of the initiative. Unless a miracle occurs, Petenev has no chance of turning over.

  "Oh, Luo, you don't think I, the illustrious Ros, would welch on a debt, do you? Besides, Petrenov hasn't lost yet. Anything can happen before the answer is revealed."

  As the scoundrel Mak said that everything is possible, the outcome of the fight had already been decided on the platform, and the mighty God Petrenov fell to the platform.

  The result came out, and Luo Kai's smile on his face became even more brilliant.

  "Are you Jeros Rothschild? As a member of the Rothschild family, it's unlikely that you would default on your surname, but this debt of 30,000 taels of silver may have a significant impact on you personally."

  Luoke's tender face was filled with confidence, and long before coming to Samma Town, Luoke had a deep understanding of Jeros Rothschild and his family. In fact, in his previous life, Luoke had heard about the Rothschilds' affairs.

  The Rothschild family, who dominated the course of modern financial history, how powerful were they at their peak in the 19th century? Luo Ke couldn't judge. Luo Ke only knew that in 19th-century Europe, there was a saying: Europe had six great powers: Great Britain, France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and the Rothschild family. The Rothschild family was also known as the Sixth Empire!

  Not to mention the distant past, ten years ago, the funds from the English Channel Tunnel project were flowing back into this financial giant. At the same time, the Rothschild family also took out ￡100 million for France to pay compensation for the Franco-Prussian War. Eight years ago, Rothschild became one of the three major shareholders of Rio Tinto, a mining company whose main products include aluminum, copper, coal, gold, boron and iron ore. Five years ago, the Rothschild family gained control over the Suez Canal by increasing its funding to the British government, it can be said that the Rothschild family helped the British government buy the Suez Canal. The influence of the Rothschild family is evident.

  However, this member of the Rothschild family, who went by the alias Mike Miller, was not as illustrious as his family. As the third generation of the Rothschilds flourished under the leadership of the aging Nathan Mayer Rothschild, Jeros, a fifth-generation Rothschild orphan, was excluded from the mainstream of the Rothschild family led by Nathan Mayer and his sons. Having nothing to do with the financial expertise that the Rothschilds were known for, Jeros only had a mining company, a smelting company, and several factories in his name, which would not be officially approved as his personal property until many years later.

  The lewd and crazy Jeros, no, should say Jerros Rothschild's face was dignified, the lewdness and madness on his body suddenly disappeared, turning into a elegant gentleman. Perhaps only in this strange land where he didn't know anyone, Jerros dared to release his pressure, showing his other side without any disguise.

  "Hero emerges in youth, it seems that Luo has come prepared and knows my details clearly. Indeed, I have lost at least 5,000 taels of silver here, and also lost a considerable amount in England and Russia. Although the losses are not huge, as a member of the Rothschild family, it is still somewhat difficult for me to take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to repay debts within a short period of time. At least after withdrawing this part of the funds, I may face sanctions from my family. Luo, do you have any good ideas if you were in my position?"

  "If I were you, I would consider having a good talk with the young master of the wealthy Taihai Luo family in front of us. It's not impossible that things might take a turn for the better." Rosetta replied sincerely, allowing Jellos to pour himself another drink.

  The development of industry cannot be achieved overnight, and Taiwan must introduce Western technology to survive in the late 19th century when heroes are vying for dominance. In Luo Ke's view, meeting with Jeros Rothschild is undoubtedly a good opportunity to complete the transformation in a short period of time.

  "What's this rifle?" Jerros' eyes lit up, his attention had been focused on the arena just now, but suddenly he discovered that Luo Ke's several guards' rifles were quite different from the ones he had seen before.

  Luoke nodded and signaled one of his guards not to stop Jelros from drawing his gun.

  "This is somewhat like the Mauser system, but more advanced than the Mauser 1871 rifle, with five rounds of ammunition. This gun has five rounds of ammunition, which is no longer a single-shot breech-loading rifle. There is no such type of rifle in all of Europe."

  Jeros, apart from enjoying boxing matches, apparently also has a great fondness for firearms, and can't help but look left and right, wishing he could find a place to try out their power immediately.

  "Jeros brother, let's go, not far from here we have one of our strongholds, where we can discuss possible future cooperation in detail, and also let you try the power of this gun."

  Luoke took the opportunity to invite him.

  Jeros nodded slightly and agreed.

  Luoke arranged for someone to deal with the aftermath of the boxing match victory, and then both parties left Samat Town together.

  It's been a month since the last trip to Samma Town, and this time with Jeros Rothschild's second meeting, Jeros not only brought in hundreds of millions of pounds in contracts but also brought in a batch of technical personnel that Luo Ke urgently needed, which can be said to have solved Luo Ke's urgent need.

  After seeing off Jeros Rothschild, Roche felt a great weight lifted from his body.

  Of course, Jeros Rothschild also breathed a sigh of relief. Without mentioning the gains, this time he got the drawings of the Type 38 rifle developed by the Luo family in Taiwan Strait, which played a crucial role in Jeros' personal control over the German Oberndorf munitions factory. With suitable conditions, the seeds of ambition have begun to sprout in the heart of this young Rothschild.

  What delighted Luo Ke the most was Jelro's response to himself, as the saying goes, "one has two and three", having had the first cooperation, how far is it from the second and third cooperations?

  Although possessing technology far beyond this era, a clever woman cannot cook without rice. The industrial foundation of Taiwan is really too poor. In terms of mining industry, raw materials industry and processing industry, Taiwan lags behind many powerful countries.
