Chapter 220: Picking Up Money and Picking Up Hand Cramps (Part II)

determined what he was going to do, Yang Yiwei arranged an itinerary plan for himself, of course, the first stop was London, to the British Empire to pick up money! Although this treasury bond has expired for seventy or eighty years, it should still be usable! Moreover, Yang Yiwei is not afraid that the British Empire will not admit it, this kind of bearer treasury bonds are still earned by the British, since there is Germany's 40-year public debt of 100 million pounds that has not been repaid, there must be other issued various national bonds that have not been paid.

This is also one of the reasons why the longer the government bonds, the higher the interest rate, not to mention these bearer government bonds. London Needlework Street, Yang Yiwei raised his head and looked at the ancient building in front of him, which is called the old woman on Needlework Street, which can be said to represent the rise of the financial industry in the world! It can be said to be the originator of all central banking systems in the world. The Bank of England was founded in the late 17th century, and it is no wonder that it is called the Old Woman.

Yang Yiwei came over with a knife this time, the knife usually talks a lot, Wei Lei doesn't like to talk very much, most of the time is silent, if you bring him over, Yang Yiwei has to suffocate to death, anyway, there is no danger this time, Wei Lei stayed in Madagascar and He Weiguo They are familiar with the working environment, after all, they will need to work there for a long time in the future.

The knife was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and the biomodification instrument was placed in it, and the briefcase in Yang Yiwei's hand was the treasury bonds that needed to be exchanged this time, of course, Yang Yiwei brought all the treasury bonds at one time. Yang Yiwei entered the bank, and soon a middle-aged man with blonde hair in his thirties greeted him. Seeing Yang Yiwei, a middle-aged man with blond hair, he spoke in English very skillfully: "Hello, dear sir, my name is Edward, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you?" ”

"I'm here to exchange British bonds." Yang Yiwei said with a smile.

"Huh? This can be done in major commercial banks. But it seems that there are no maturing government bonds recently? Edward choked up, this is the headquarters of the Bank of England, and generally these businesses can now be handled by major British commercial banks.

"My national debt is special. So I think it's better for me to come to your bank, what's the matter? Can't you do it here? Yang Yiwei tilted his head and asked.

"Of course not, sir, please." Since everyone has said so. Edward didn't hesitate, and directly asked Yang Yiwei to go inside, and sat down behind a desk. Edward spoke, "Sir, what do you call you?" ”

"Yang Yiwei." Yang Yiwei told Edward his name, and Edward immediately smiled and said, "Then you must be Chinese, China is a charming country." ”

"I think so too, but, Mr. Edward, you can take a look at this treasury first, shall you?" Yang Yiwei took out a treasury bond from his briefcase and handed it over. As soon as Yang Yiwei's words came out, Edward was a little surprised, because the treasury bonds with physical objects are bearer treasury bonds, that is, physical treasury bonds, and most of the treasury bonds issued now are electronic treasury bonds.

And when Yang Yiwei put that treasury bond on the table. Edward's pupils shrank slightly, and the long string of zeros showed that this Treasury bond was definitely not issued in recent years. Edward, who had been with the Bank of England for almost 10 years, had not yet remembered the issuance of such a single denomination! When he looked at the time of the national debt, Edward almost fainted, 1905! Oh, my God!

Edward's mouth was long. The government bonds issued by the United Kingdom more than a hundred years ago are only now being exchanged? Edward's expression was indescribably wonderful, of course, this is a national debt, no matter how many years it has passed, since someone has taken it out. The British government must admit that unless the debt is fake. However, the British money printing technique is considered by the whole world to be the most difficult to counterfeit banknotes! And the Treasury bonds are so carefully designed, not to mention that no one is idiotic enough to forge these bonds that can be verified.

But no one knows whether the Bank of England's information from a hundred years ago is still known, but since they have taken it out, Edward must handle it, so Edward looked at Yang Yiwei carefully again and said: "Mr. Yang, how many of these national bonds do you have?" ”

"100 million." Yang Yiwei spat out a terrifying number from his mouth, and Edward almost fell off his chair. One hundred million! He's already seen it just now, and this public debt is 40 years old! Although it is said that there will be no interest after expiration, these 40 years are enough to be a terrifying number!

"Mr. Yang, this is beyond my authority, I have to inform our president." Edward said to Yang Yiwei seriously.

"Yes, that's good. I'm waiting here. Yang Yiwei smiled and nodded, of course he knew that this thing was definitely not something that Edward could handle, and if he wanted to exchange these treasury bonds, he had to check the ancient database of the Bank of England, and then confirm the authenticity of these treasury bonds, and after confirmation, he would exchange them to Yang Yiwei.

Less than twenty minutes later, Yang Yiwei met with the governor of the Bank of England, Carney, who was not British, but a Canadian, who had previously been the governor of the Bank of Canada. Carney's age is not very old, probably in his forties, a middle-aged man with brown hair, very tall, much taller than Yang Yiwei.

Carney was also taken aback when he received the report from his subordinates, the exchange of expired treasury bonds is often visible, and even expired for several years or more than ten years, but like this, more than 100 years of treasury bonds, only appeared at this time, that can prove that there is a long story in this, but in any case, they have no right to ask, the reason, what people take out bearer treasury bonds, what is called bearer treasury bonds, which means that this thing is actually compared with banknotes, nothing more than can not be directly used for consumption.

Whoever is in their hands is whom, and what they need to do is to confirm the authenticity of these national bonds. But 100 million pounds is a terrifying number, especially when you hear that the period of national debt issuance is 1905, you must know that it was the era of the gold standard, and the proportion of 100 million pounds in the entire British currency at that time is even equivalent to tens of billions of pounds now.

There weren't many people who could come up with so much money back then, but now it's actually taken out by the same person, and more importantly, Carney was even more surprised when he saw this person, an Asian in his twenties! If it's a Caucasians, Carney is not difficult to understand, maybe the ancestors of the people are rich people, but Asians! And still Chinese, China in 1905, it seems that at that time it was still the Qing government?

Carney didn't know much about this history, but he also knew that £100 million was almost a fraction of the annual income of the ancient Oriental country of those days. So the original owner of these pounds cannot be this young man surnamed Yang. "I was really surprised by Mr. Yang's youth." was waiting for the staff of the Bank of England to count all of Yang Yiwei's bonds, and then began to verify directly under Yang Yiwei's nose, while Carney, who didn't care about the facts, smiled and accosted Yang Yiwei.

"Where, where, Mr. Carney can become the president of two national central banks at this age, I am not worth mentioning compared to Mr. Carney." Yang Yiwei smiled.

Yes, but you have a lot more money than me, Carney said in his heart, don't look at him as if he has managed the central banks of two countries, but his salary over the decades is not as much as the 100 million pounds of government bonds brought by Yang Yiwei. However, it is still necessary to talk about the complexity of the certification of these treasury bonds far beyond Yang Yiwei's imagination, after all, it has been too long, although they have determined that these pound bonds are real and undoubted.

However, these treasury bonds still need to be compared with the treasury bond numbers in those ancient databases, and only after these procedures are completed can they be exchanged for Yang Yiwei. Even Yang Yiwei had to have a light lunch with Carney at noon, of course, in Carney's office, those staff members continued to look for information. Fortunately, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, all the information was finally checked.

"Mr. Yang, a total of more than 820 million pounds, the specific amount will be remitted to the bank account you provided." After completing all the formalities, Carney shook hands with Yang Yiwei and said with a smile. Yang Yiwei nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Kani."

"No thanks, but Prince William of our country wants to meet Your Excellency, I wonder if Your Excellency Lu Dao has time?" Carney said with a smile. Yang Yiwei was stunned for a moment, what do I rely on here? Why did a legendary Prince William suddenly appear to see him?

"Hehe, that's the case, Originally, Her Majesty the Queen wanted to see Your Excellency in person, but because Her Majesty's health has not been good recently, I entrusted Prince William to thank Your Excellency on behalf of the British royal family, after all, the purchase of British government bonds is equivalent to helping Britain from the side, not to mention that it was in that era when Britain began to decline." Carney smiled.

How does the queen know about herself, Yang Yiwei is not strange at all, after all, this is not a small number, 820 million pounds, this money has to be paid by the British government, I am afraid that the British Prime Minister also knows that there is such a person as himself, but if he wants to see himself, Yang Yiwei can't figure it out, what is there to see, as for the excuse that Carney said, Yang Yiwei is purely nonsense.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Yiwei nodded and agreed, if someone from the British government saw him, Yang Yiwei really needed to think about it, but the royal family ...... It seems that the British royal family has no rights now, but in fact it is a spiritual symbol, besides, Yang Yiwei is also very curious about this legendary Prince William, and it is good to see it.
