The Founder of the Great Financial Family Chapter 181

What is money?

Is it truly the most valuable thing of all?

And does it really bring endless happiness?

Of course!

'Money is really important. More than anything else in the world. Think about it. If you're sick, you can use it to treat your body, and if you want sothing, you can buy it with it.'

Because he had money, he could succeed, and his siblings could also climb to good positions.

'I helped Andrew a lot too.'

The second, Andrew, was thriving in the military's command, unprecedentedly due to the influence of Rockefeller, the empire's most powerful man, and recently had his first child.

'The most important thing is that he is living well in a mansion that he couldn't even dream of with a military salary, with the daughter of a lord he had a crush on since childhood. There probably isn't anything happier for Andrew than that.'

What did Andrew do?

'Did Andrew do anything to achieve that happiness? If he did, it was thanks to eting well. So say you should et good parents, but that's not the case for us. My siblings really t well.'

The third, Joshua, was greatly contributing to the increase of the family's wealth by helping Rockefeller.

Especially in the field of investnt, he was showing his prowess, and at so point, he was earning enough money to surprise Rockefeller.

'Joshua is the most suitable person for this family among my siblings. The amazing thing is that he has a better sense than . He knows incredibly well when and where to invest. As long as he doesn't take too much risk, he will continue to bring good results. Or it's okay to lose a little. Investnt is like that in the first place.'

And the fourth, Leo, also beca the Chief of the Papal Secretariat, gradually expanding his position within the church.

'Leo is doing well too. Like Andrew, he is solidifying his position within the church, so the next pope is likely to be Leo, who is the Chief of the Papal Secretariat. Or I can take that position. I made the current pope, so it wouldn't be difficult to do it twice, right? In the end, that position can also be taken with a money frenzy.'

Lastly, the youngest, Lucia, beca the empress and the mistress of the empire.

'All of that was achieved through money. If there was no money, all of that would have been impossible.'

In this way, money was everything and everything to Rockefeller as he lived in the world.

Is there no aning in such money?

'It's a funny story. Money is everything. Everything.'

So say that money is not everything, and there are things that cannot be solved with money.

'I can understand. They have never had inexhaustible money. Or they should question themselves.'

To those who say they can't be happy with money.

Rockefeller suddenly wanted to ask this question.

Was the money you had at that ti enough?

'It definitely wasn't. It was lacking, so there was regret, and it was also lacking, so it couldn't be achieved.'

Ah, except for one thing.

'Yes, there's one thing that's right. There is only one thing that money cannot buy.'

What is that?

'It's health. There are tis when a dying or old body cannot be solved with money.'

Rockefeller, who admits only that one thing, unknowingly twisted the corners of his mouth.

'But can't you prepare for all of that with money? Well, anyway.'

Even though he had climbed to a position where he could create sothing out of nothing by printing money in midair.

The place where Rockefeller mainly worked was the small guild headquarters in Lyon.

If soone asks why the most powerful and wealthy person in the empire is working in a narrow Banco street, Rockefeller would probably answer like this.

'It's comfortable here.'

Then soone might ask again.

Wouldn't it be better to work in a better environnt if you have so much money?

If there is such a question, Rockefeller would obviously chuckle first.

'I'm not the one doing the work. I'm not the one making the money either.'

At this very mont, countless Banco traders belonging to the guild and those who borrowed money from them were working like dogs to accumulate the wealth of the Rothsdici family.

'Money makes money. All I do is lend money. Then the money works on its own and brings in money.'

A sudden commotion occurred in the quiet Ghetto Nuovo street.

Rockefeller got up from his seat and stood by the window.

What happened?

"You damn bitch! If your father borrowed money, you should sell your body to pay it back!"

"I'll pay the interest sohow next month! Please, just this once!"

"Interest? What about the principal?"

"I can't afford the principal. Please! I'll beg you like this!"

"No way, you bitch! If you don't have the money to pay right now, go to the brothel and sell your body!"

A poor girl from the slums was seen holding on to the Banco trader's pants, pleading.

Seeing that, Rockefeller couldn't help but feel awkward.

'It seems like sothing went wrong.'

The fact that he makes money.

It was an extension of such an incident.

He lends money, and the Banco traders conduct loan businesses with that money.

And in order to make a certain profit, they start usury businesses, and the poor people who receive those loans suffer from unreasonable interest rates, work to death today and tomorrow, and are sotis insulted like that.

'It's sothing I see when I'm bored, but it's always uncomfortable.'

However, he had no intention of going out and helping.

Finally, his wife, Isabella, stepped in to help the girl by paying her debt and offering her a job. Rockefeller remained detached from the situation, focusing on his own wealth and the growing influence of Goblin Dollars. He acknowledges the exploitation of the currency but feels no empathy for those affected, as it benefits him and his family.

If I help such a thing once or twice, all the debtors on this street will probably disappear.

But he had no intention of going out and helping.

If he helped out with such things once or twice, perhaps all the debtors on this street would disappear.

Or they would borrow money and not repay it.

That was what Rockefeller hated the most.

'If you borrow money, you should repay it properly. Whether it's in any form, if you borrow money, it's only right to repay it.'

Rockefeller tried to ignore what was happening outside.

Until a familiar soone stood in front of the angry moneylender.

"How much is the total debt?"
