**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan If a family is compared to an empire, it is enough to show the strength and depth of the family. How influential is this family?

In the 19th century, there was a Jewish family in Europe that once dominated the world, and the financial empire created by their family was known as the "Sixth European Empire". Perhaps, many people know about this family from a global best-selling book, "Currency Wars".

The family is known as the "** emperor" of the modern world, and their wealth once surpassed that of countries such as Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. They own a large number of multinational companies, and some have even accused them of secretly controlling the international situation and dominating Western financial business for a hundred years.

They are recognized as the true richest man in the world, and their wealth, power and privilege are among the most impressive things they have left on the world, and even the well-known "Lafite '82" is their masterpiece.

The Rothschilds are as important in the global financial world, as were the Rockefellers and Morgans in the United States before World War II. Their wealth and influence are beyond imagination and have even influenced the operations of the four largest banks in the United States.

Although Rockefeller and Morgan were super-capitalists, they both had close ties to the Rothschilds. As a result, the wealth and influence of the Rothschilds can be said to be unparalleled.

Chinese often say that "wealth is not exposed, wealth is not publicized", and the Rothschilds are such a low-key and prominent family, which has lasted for more than 200 years after eight generations of leaders.

How did such an unimaginable family that transcend the empire develop into a supergiant? In the ups and downs of history, how did the Rothschild family change and rise, prosper, and maintain the throne forever?

The rise of the family is something that people in this world attach great importance to, whether it is in the world, whether it is in the world, religion, or politics.

Family culture is essential to a person's growth. It is human culture, spiritual culture, and the basic cell of society. The inheritance and honor of the family, with the passage of time, inject a steady stream of impetus into the development of society.

In the 18th century, Europe was in a critical period of historical change, and capitalism began to emerge. However, both ordinary people and empires fought for profit, plunging Europe into chaos.

This was a period in which the common people, especially the Jews, suffered the most, many of whom lived within the walls all their lives.

In Ludwig's verses, he depicts a cage of deep darkness through which even the brightest light of the 18th century cannot penetrate. It was against this dark backdrop that a Jew was born in Frankfurt, Germany.

Many Jewish names come from ordinary small objects in everyday life, and this Jew's name is no exception. There was a red shield in front of his shop, and the family's name was changed to "Red Shield", which means Rothschild in German.

The starting point of this story is Meyer Amschel. Together with his descendants, he founded one of the most glorious families in the history of capitalism - the Rothschilds.

The influence of the Rothschilds in the course of human history is immeasurable, and their achievements are not only the realization of many people's dreams and pursuits, but also the embodiment of enduring power and value - money and capital.

Mayer Rothschild's childhood was full of hardships and hardships, but his parents did everything in their power to provide him with the best education and business skills. However, the social status of the Jews and the suffering they suffered could not be changed through education.

Changing destiny is not only about knowledge, but also about opportunities, actions, vision, thinking, cognition and other comprehensive factors. This is an interrelated and indispensable whole, knowledge is a necessary condition for success, but only knowledge is not enough, and more practical actions and opportunities are needed to truly change destiny.

When Meyer was 12 years old, his parents died, but he used his father's connections to work in the bank for four years. If he follows a normal life trajectory, he may live a worry-free life and even become a partner in a bank.

However, Meyer did not rest on his laurels, he bravely rose to the challenge with the belief that he would change his fate, and finally realized his dream and created the glory of the Rothschild family.

Although he made an incredible decision at this time, he chose to devote himself to the cause of picking up rags. With his experience working in the bank, as well as his in-depth study of the market and his skills in dealing with a variety of people, Meyer finally waited for a turn of fate.

Because, in those seemingly useless garbage heaps, there are hidden currencies and medals that have been abandoned by people. These unexpected discoveries allowed Meyer to keenly grasp business opportunities.

He organized the scattered old coins and other items into a set of collectibles, thus realizing his first pot of gold. In the process of earning his fortune, Meyer made many friends, many of whom came from powerful backgrounds.

Prince William of Hesse-Kassel, in particular, began the first metamorphosis of the Rothschild family.

In 1770, Meyer took a major turn in his life when he married 16-year-old Güttlin, the daughter of Schnapel, known as the "court Jew."

This marriage not only allowed Meyer to receive a rich dowry, but also gave their descendants the blood of nobility. Although in China, we don't pay much attention to our ancestry, after all, ancestors may also be princes and nobles, but Westerners take this very seriously.

After two metamorphoses, the former slum family became a millionaire.

With keen insight and vicious observation, as well as years of experience, Meyer returned to the banking industry and expanded rapidly, establishing himself as a European financial industry. The wars in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries provided business opportunities for the Rothschilds, who lent money to various countries, but also expanded to other areas such as railways.

Since Europeans were not allowed to charge interest, while Jews did not have such restrictions, the Rothschilds took advantage of these social backgrounds and their own advantages to expand their banking business, eventually becoming one of the largest banks in Europe.

The Rothschilds' wealth and influence did not happen overnight, but was built up through long-term expansion and involvement in different areas of the business. They understand the weaknesses of human nature and are adept at exploiting them to advance their careers.

In addition, they possess a resilient personality and a resilient ability to stretch out, which helps them remain calm and optimistic in the face of difficulties and setbacks. Romeyer's story is a good example of how if we have a strong belief and a spirit of never giving up, we can achieve our dreams.

The deeds of Shun, Fu Shuo and others in the book "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace" also provide us with an important enlightenment, that is, in the face of difficulties, we must remain optimistic and hopeful, and never give up.

In the mid-19th century, the Rothschilds' wealth and influence were at their peak, and their five sons became known as the "Roche Five Tigers". Not only do they work together in family businesses, but they also act as financial advisors and investors to companies around the world.

Banking is spread across Europe, with a high volume of transactions, especially in the fields of gold and silver, jewellery and antiques. The Rothschilds are a firm believer in investing, and their decisions and actions reflect this.

The Rothschilds have also been active and successful in areas other than banking, such as international**, shipping, coal mining, electricity, oil and gas, etc.

They are widely involved in real estate, energy, mining, medicine, technology, ** and other industries, and have always been driven by investment and innovation to contribute to the growth of family wealth.

Due to the long history and large scale of the Rothschilds, it is difficult to conduct investment research on everyone, but we can learn from their investment philosophy.

The Rothschilds understand the importance of long-term investment, believing that it takes time and patience to grow their wealth.

In the Rothschild family's investment philosophy, they emphasize the long-term value and stability of the project, rather than short-term profits. They strongly believe that diversifying assets into different investment areas and asset classes can reduce investment risk.

As a result, they invest their assets in different industries and geographies to ensure long-term appreciation and risk reduction. In addition, the dispersion of family members also helps to broaden horizons and share information.

The Rothschilds also insist on professional investing, where they invest in areas they are familiar with or work with professional investment advisors to get a better return on their investment.

As their family history shows, they need to put down roots in areas that they are familiar with and good at.

Because of the information they share and their broad perspectives, they are very willing to accept and discover new things, and they are willing to invest time and energy to understand and learn. Meyer has maintained this attitude in this regard.

They will delve into the industry or sector to find better investment opportunities, and they will also engage in strategic partnerships to obtain better investment returns.

However, their investment philosophy often seems simple and sound, which may have something to do with the several crises they have experienced. The French Revolution, the British bond crisis of 1825, and the two world wars all affected them to varying degrees.

But they have all successfully survived these crises with strong economic strength and professional financial management.

Although the strength of the Rothschilds makes defeat seem insignificant, we can still see the secret of success in them. Their heritage makes them fearless, their expertise allows them to quickly find their way out of difficulties, and their adversity quotient allows them to face any challenge head-on.

In China, the family's history dates back to the 19th century, and they have a deep friendship with Li Hongzhang. As early as 1816, they signed the first contract with China, and have always regarded China as an important market, actively carrying out ** and investment activities.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Rothschilds gradually expanded their business in China, focusing on mining, railway construction, cruise transportation, and other fields.

In the 90s, the Rothschild family officially set foot in the Chinese market. However, their investment in China did not go as smoothly as expected, and instead suffered from the political turmoil in which China was troubled internally and externally.

With China's political reform and social transformation, the Rothschilds' business in China has gradually shrunk. However, with the rapid rise of China's economy and the deepening of reform and opening up, some members of the Rothschild family have once again set their sights on China and gradually resumed investment activities in China.

Their investment direction is mainly focused on important sectors such as finance, energy, environmental protection and technology.

In conclusion, the existence of the Rothschild family is undoubtedly the leader in people's hearts, although the experience of successful people is not always referenced, but such a family that has lasted for more than 200 years, the secret of its success must be worth pondering.

Although success may seem accidental, with the right approach, the likelihood of success increases dramatically. Observing the evolution of the Rothschild family, it is essential to learn and master one skill or field, but also to learn and dabble in as many other areas as possible.

Looking back at the family's investment philosophy, we will see that their thinking seems simple but conservative. The ancients once told us that being too impatient can backfire.

Although our pace may not be so big, we must be steady. There is so much information nowadays that it's hard to sit down and read a book, let alone concentrate on learning a skill or knowledge.

In such an impetuous society, what we need is a pure land of the soul to make our souls richer and more interesting. By reading historical stories, we can gain wisdom in life.
