When Jerome Bonaparte returned once more to the Northern Industrial Company workshop, he was greeted by a group of industrial capitalists including Bashirio, Eugène Schneider, and François Wender (the fourth-largest steel tycoon in France. Currently, the undisputed first is the Paris Northern Industrial Company, with countless subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The second largest steel company is Eugène Schneider Company, which, thanks to Jerome Bonaparte's support, has been rapidly expanding its steel business in Le Clerc and Lorraine Region).
Observing this group of people trembling at his feet, ready to be manipulated at will, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but feel a bit smug. Among them were family businessmen with histories spanning centuries, yet they too had succumbed under his cannons.
