At eight o'clock in the morning on April 28, a private jet from the United States landed at London Luden Airport, which is a small airport that specializes in providing take-off and landing services and aircraft maintenance for private jets compared to the famous Heathrow Airport.

Originally, Luden Airport was an airport built by a knight for himself, and it was not used for a long time, but later due to the bankruptcy of Sir Steel, it had to be sold as a service airport for private jets and charter flights, but due to the complete range of supporting services, the transformation of Luden Airport was also very smooth and successful, and many private jets flying to London would choose to land here.

Before George stepped out of the hatch, he saw a Les-Royce parked there, and a slender Englishman opened the door for George: "Hello Dear Mr. George, I have been ordered to meet you here, and Lord Earl is already waiting for you in his castle." ”

George didn't speak, just said yes and got into the car, and then an hour later, he arrived at York Castle, which used to be the castle of the British royal family, the Yorks, and then with the change of dynasties, the Yorks were no longer royal, but still had the ownership of the castle.

The car drove straight into the castle, where an Englishman in a solemn dress was sitting and drinking tea in the green area in the middle of the castle.

He smiled and invited George to come and sit down, and handed him a cup of freshly brewed coffee: "You can come back after a day's rest, your eyes are too red, so you are not a gentleman at all, but like those copper-smelling speculators on Wall Street." ”

Of course, George knew that he must not look good, but there was no way to do it, after all, he had crossed the Atlantic from Itley to London, and although there was a special bed for him to rest on the plane, it still made him feel very tired, and he could feel the pain as if a wire was constantly piercing his head.

George smiled bitterly and said, "Earl Mountbatten, if you were asked to choose between bankruptcy and gentlemanhood, I think you would be the same as me." ”

The earl put down the cup and smiled slightly: "I have already heard that you were miserable by a few small Chinese in Itley, not only were your non-performing assets of 15 billion US dollars exposed, but you even lost your relationship with the Morgan family, all of which are very unfavorable to you." So with all due respect, Mr. George, you're doing all this really badly, compared to your father. ”

George also looked up at the Earl and said, "Then Mr. Earl, please forgive me, that Zhou Ming is simply a demon, if you dare to get involved, your ending will only be more embarrassing than mine!"

The Earl's face showed disdain: "It seems that Mr. George, you are indeed weak, and you will be reduced to relying on such shameless methods to get me involved?"

George still insisted without changing his face: "If you insist on thinking like this, I can't help it, but I just told a fact!"

The Count shrugged, "Well, for your sake, but I think it's important that we get down to business first, unless Mr. George you're going to fly across the Atlantic, and then you're going to have a pointless bar-up with me." ”

George also calmed down after the Earl of Mountbatten said this, and then he said to the earl: "Since you already know the situation on the side of Eitley, then I will not beat around the bush, and now the Great Wood Bank needs a lot of money, and I hope that the York family can help." ”

"How much?" asked the Earl.

George held up two fingers: "At least two billion dollars." ”

The Earl nodded: "This money is not a problem, I can be ready at any time, but there is one thing I must understand, Mr. George, are you asking for money in your own name, or in the capacity of the patriarch of the Great Wood family? You must know that the identity is different, and the attitude of me or the York family will be completely different, after all, it is two hundred billion dollars, not two hundred dollars......

Originally, listening to the earl's cheerful consent made George a little stunned, but when he heard his words later, George felt very dissatisfied: "I'm sorry, I don't see any difference, and thirteen years ago, I sold myself to you in order to gain the support of the York family, don't you still believe in my loyalty?"

The Earl shook his finger and corrected, "I prefer to call it an exchange of interests between you and us in order to inherit the family. ”

"Mr. Mountbatten!" said George, solemnly, "there is a limit to my patience!"

The Earl spread his hands helplessly: "What an American with no sense of humor, for the sake of the relationship between the Big Wood family and the York family, I can help you get a low-interest loan totaling $20 billion from the Royal Bank of London, do you think this is enough?"

George breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up and saluted the Earl of Mountbatten solemnly, and finally added: "But due to the current time constraints, I need to get this money today, and let the media know." ”

So, at George's request, the Earl of Mountbatten agreed to his request, personally took him to the Royal Bank of London, and held a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon, at which George announced to the media that the Royal Bank of London would provide a loan of 15.3 billion pounds, equivalent to 20 billion US dollars, to help Big Wood Bank cope with the crisis.

The news quickly spread back to the United States, and a three-way conference call between Zhou Ming, Tang Ran and Morgan was immediately held.

When the phone was connected, Zhou Ming asked directly: "Mr. Jack, is this what you call the hole cards of the Big Wood family?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, I think it's hard for me to answer your question, because the Morgan family is only half the age of the Big Wood family. "But I guess this is their last card, because the Great Wood family has only turned to the English mainland twice in its history, once during the Second Revolutionary War and the other during the Great Depression." ”

"But it's important to say that they're still very effective. Jack finally commented.

Of course, Zhou Ming also understands this, and now with the completion of this loan, the Big Wood family has not only temporarily solved the financial problem, but also announced it in the media, so when the stock market opens tomorrow, it is very likely that the stock market will rise.

However, Zhou Ming thought of another question, so he asked: "But I remember that the Great Wood family is not a French family, how can it be related to London, and can still be supported by a bank with a royal title." ”

Zhou Ming had such a problem because he didn't remember seeing where he had seen that it was not easy to get a royal title in the United Kingdom, because it would have to provide services to the royal family for more than five years, and all the royal family members who enjoyed the service did not have any dissatisfaction with the service, so the king would allow the company to use this title.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming's knowledge is very extensive, and this issue will involve the chaotic succession to the throne in Europe. "The Great Wood family is indeed a family of French origin, but he is only a branch of another family that had previously become kings in the British Isles." Now, although they are no longer royal, they are still British aristocrats, with very large wealth and superhuman influence. ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Jack, there seems to be something else in your words." ”

Jack said: "Indeed, my idea is that since the Big Wood family has gone to England to move out of his last hole cards, then this is the end of everything." ”

"Why is this? Is this Royal Bank of London so powerful?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"It's not just a question of whether it's good or not, it's that there's no need for a financial conflict with London. Jack said to Zhou Ming, "I think you should know that the Morgan family only accepted investment from the UK to get to where it is today, so there has always been a rule in the Morgan family, that is, the family is not allowed to directly engage in any form of financial collision with the British mainland." ”

Zhou Ming was even more curious: "I don't understand, is this because Britain's financial strength is so strong that it makes you afraid? Or are you simply talking about heroes by blood?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think I can answer this question to you, I can only say that Britain, as an empire that never sets in the past, plundered wealth from all over the world, and the wealth held by those British nobles is a secret that can never be revealed. Jack said.

It sounds like this is true, Britain may not be a large country, but because it once colonized the world and plundered a lot of wealth, and later with the fall of the colonial era, Britain lost a lot of colonies, but the wealth that has been plundered to Britain will not disappear, no one knows how much wealth the British aristocracy hides, but at least the world knows that London is the world's financial center on a par with New York.

In addition, the top ten conglomerates or financial families in the United States have more or less the shadow of the British behind them, and the Morgan family even directly accepted the investment of the British before rising, so it is no wonder that there is some natural fear of the British.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Jack: "Since Mr. Jack is a little timid towards the British, then maybe we can divide and cooperate." ”

Jack automatically blocked out the timid words and asked, "How do you divide labor and cooperate?"

"Mr. Jack, you continue to deal with the Great Woods, while I go and talk to the British, and if they don't, I'll teach them some lessons to settle down. Zhou Ming said, "It's the British I'm dealing with, I don't think Mr. Jack has broken the rules by doing this, right?"

Jack replied that he was very uncertain and asked Zhou Ming if he really wanted to do this, and Zhou Ming replied, "There is no other choice now." ”

Jack had no choice but to say, "Then I can only wish you good luck, and I think it is necessary for me to remind you that those Englishmen are very old-fashioned, and their heads are like stones that they can't learn to turn, so if you go to negotiate with them, you will only be humiliated by them, and you better teach them a hard lesson first, and then they will calm down and listen to you." ”

"It seems that these British people are really cheap!" Zhou Ming laughed, "Of course, in order to ensure that I can teach those Britons a lesson, I need the Morgan family to help me contact someone, his name is Joross." ”
