摘要

1786年，美国荷兰投资银行Van Staphorst兄弟进入法国财政总监办公室，打算出价收购法国持有的部分美国债券。在不知情的情况下，他们的报价引发了一场竞购战，这场竞购战本可以以资金不足的美国金融冒险家欠下大量债券而告终，这可能威胁到美国信贷脆弱的健康。在最后时刻，Van Staphorst想出了一个大胆的、前所未有的计划，说服法国人没有必要以折扣价出售他们的美国债券。

The French bonds: the little-known bidding war for France's holdings in American debt, 1786–1790

In 1786, the Van Staphorst brothers, America's Dutch investment bank, entered the French office of the Director General of Finance, intent on making an offer for a portion of France's holdings of American bonds. Unknowingly, their offer set off a bidding war that could have ended with poorly capitalized American financial adventurers owing a large portion of bonds which could threaten the fragile health of American credit. At the eleventh hour, the Van Staphorsts conjured up a bold, unprecedented, scheme to persuade the French that it would be unnecessary to sell their American bonds at discounted prices.

期刊介绍： Financial History Review is the international forum for all scholars with interests in the development of banking, finance, and monetary matters. Its editors deliberately seek to embrace the broadest approach to publishing research findings within this growing historical specialism. Articles address all aspects of financial and monetary history, including technical and theoretical approaches, those derived from cultural and social perspectives and the interrelations between politics and finance. These presentations of current research are complemented by somewhat shorter pieces, specifically conceived as aids to research. Each issue contains a substantial review section, and every complete volume contains an annual bibliography.
