"What? He wants to borrow a billion pounds? Is he crazy? ”

In the British Prime Minister's Office, when Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain reported to MacDonald that Zhang Mengjihua had borrowed 1 billion pounds from the Bank of England, MacDonald froze.

Because MacDonald often interacts with Zhang Meng, he knows Zhang Meng too well.

Fierce as a tiger and cunning as a fox, it took millions of years to climb to the top of the food chain, Zhang Meng is undoubtedly a carnivore.

"That's not right! There must be something wrong with this! ”

MacDonald suddenly stood up and walked back and forth to the Determination Table. He thought of almost every possible factor, and even once guessed that Zhang Meng might be in debt, and that it was possible to occupy the Fiji Islands without giving money to the British.

But what he never expected was that Zhang Meng would borrow money from Britain in turn, and one mouth was one billion pounds.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Affected by the economic crisis in the United States, the Bank of England has just withdrawn one billion pounds of funds from the United States, and is not knowing where to invest, Zhang Meng promised to give the Bank of England 3% interest with his Datang Bank as a guarantee, and there is no richer return than this. ”

"We are also suffering from an economic crisis and the Bank of England should invest this billion pounds domestically, not cheapen outsiders."

"I don't agree with Your Excellency the Prime Minister, that domestic credit is not as serious as in the United States, but the risks are still too high. Investing in China is likely to lose all your money, even if there is a return. It is definitely not as high as the rate of return from Zhang Meng. ”

"No, you don't know Zhang Meng! He's a profiteer who can't afford to make a profit! Do you know? MI3 intelligence shows that this bastard turned on the money printing machine behind our backs and overissued 2 billion Tang Yuan bills in two months. This huge amount of money flowed into the U.S. market through the dark box operation of the international banking syndicate, and as a result, before and after the Wall Street crash, do you know how much money he made? It's five billion dollars! ”

Whenever MacDonald thought of the five billion dollars he had made in the United States, he always had envy, jealousy and hatred all over his face.

If he knew that Zhang Meng still had a huge transaction in the underground bank, if he knew that Zhang Meng had earned not five billion but nearly ten billion, it is estimated that he would not be able to sleep at night.

Chamberlain also looked a little envious and jealous after listening to MacDonald's words, but he obviously knew this for a long time. So not as obsessed with that thing as MacDonald.

"I also know Zhang Meng's actions on Wall Street. Because of this, we, the Treasury and the Board of Directors of the Bank of England, are relieved to lend a billion pounds to Zhang Meng, and we believe that Zhang Meng has the ability to make a big profit. As long as he makes money, it means that the Bank of England also makes money. Otherwise, a billion pounds is so huge that even if the President of the United States personally asks us to borrow money, the Bank of England will not be able to lend him money. ”

MacDonald was about to continue to contradict him. Suddenly a problem was discovered.

"Listen to your tone. It seems that the Bank of England has promised to lend money to Zhang Meng? ”

Chamberlain nodded and smiled slightly, which seemed to mean that how did you understand it after such an old day.

"Who gave you permission to do this?"

MacDonald was furious.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that the Treasury is up to us Conservatives. And the Bank of England is not in your hands, they have the right to pursue their own interests. ”

Thanks to the coalition cabinet, Labour retained the premiership, but as a counterbalance, the finance minister was held by the Conservatives. The British Prime Minister can only restrict the power of the Bank of England to issue pounds in England and Wales, but cannot interfere with the Bank of England's foreign lending business.

MacDonald glared fiercely at Chamberlain. He knew he had been pitted by the Conservatives again.

"Excellent! I'll see how you guys end! Zhang Meng cheated the Yankees last year, and this year it is estimated that it is time to pit us British pigs! ”

Chamberlain smiled awkwardly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, don't be angry. How can you be so analogous British? ”

"Go back and tell your leader, Mr. Stanley, that I will also send him a famous Chinese saying: If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate!"

"I will convey to Mr. Stanley the truth, is there anything else that Your Excellency the Prime Minister would like to command?" Chamberlain is here to help. ”

"At my service? I see that you are all going to serve Zhang Meng! ”

Chamberlain coughed dryly twice and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Mr. Stanley just wanted to ......"

"Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again today! ”

Chamberlain originally wanted to say that Stanley was very interested in Zhang Meng, and he planned to use this opportunity to thoroughly find out Zhang Meng's hole cards and ways to make money, after all, in the current economic crisis in the United Kingdom, if there is Zhang Meng's way to make money, Stanley and his Conservative Party can boost the British economy.

It's just that MacDonald is already angry, and Chamberlain doesn't dare to stay for a moment, he is afraid that MacDonald will not be able to help but pick up the lamp and smash him.

In the VIP room of the Bank of England headquarters building on Needlework Street, Zhang Xiaoqing, the representative of the Tang Empire in the UK, and Carney, the general manager of the Bank of England, signed the contract of "Yingtang Grand Loan".

According to the contract, the Datang Empire borrowed 1 billion pounds from the Bank of England, the Bank of England, with an interest of 3%, to be repaid in six years, with only the interest of the current year being paid in the first year, and the principal and interest in the next five years were repaid together.

In order to prevent the Tang Empire from cheating, Carney enlisted the opinion of Conservative Party leader Stanley, and lent one billion pounds of funds to the Tang Empire, in addition to 100 million pounds to pay for the Tang Empire's purchase of Fiji Islands from the United Kingdom, the other 900 million pounds must buy physical goods in the United Kingdom, and require the Bank of England to lend money based on the purchase of goods issued by the relevant British units as the standard of shopping invoices.

In doing so, the Bank of England is limiting the scope of the loan. This is also Stanley's decision as the leader of the British Conservative Party to protect Britain's own interests, he just wants to see what tricks Zhang Meng wants to play. He is also looking forward to Zhang Meng being able to create a Wall Street miracle again.

The reason why Stanley knows about the Wall Street miracle that Zhang Meng created two years ago is because the Conservative Party has close ties to the Rothschild family in Britain, and they own most of the shares in the Bank of England.

At the beginning, the representative of the American branch of the family, Mira, and the representative of the German branch, Hehad, once swallowed Zhang Meng's Datang Bank together. However, Zhang Meng is too cunning, before Mira and Holhard could do it, Zhang Meng suddenly withdrew, and as a result, Zhang Meng rolled up billions of dollars and patted his ass and left, which caught Mila and Holhard off guard, if they didn't withdraw from Wall Street in time, I am afraid they would have made a big mistake.

Rao was the Rothschilds who withdrew in time. But he didn't make much profit, because Zhang Meng shorted the shares in advance, so that not many people bought the shares in the hands of the Rothschilds, forcing them to transfer them at a low price. Profits are naturally pitiful.

Carney is the representative of the Rothschild family in the UK, and this time the board of directors of the Bank of England agreed to lend Zhang Meng a billion pounds, and Carney's help is indispensable.

However, it was not the same as Stanley's purpose. Stanley is out of affirmation of Zhang Meng's ability to make money. That's why he used Liliang from the Conservative Party to help Zhang Meng borrow money from the Bank of England. In order to increase the revenue of the Bank of England and to stipulate a billion pounds to buy British goods, so as to boost the British economy. Under the premise of this national interest, Stanley also wants to see how Zhang Meng can use a billion pounds to make more money, after all, interest alone is a large number, if he can't make money, Zhang Mengguang will cry to death if he pays interest.

In addition to Carney's purpose to earn high interest income for the Bank of England, he is holding a breath of anger in his heart.

It turns out that Carney has always had a crush on Mira, and the reason why he is willing to do things for the Rothschilds is that he is willing to do things. A big reason is that he likes Mira. However, the Rothschilds are extremely strict in their rules. Carney must have extraordinary skills if he wants to marry Mira.

To this end, Carney worked hard, and he became the youngest managing director of the Bank of England and the youngest financial expert in the whole Shijie. However, he did not predict that the US financial crisis would be so serious. But when he proposed to Mira, he found that Mira often mentioned a person's name when talking to him.

Zhang Meng!

That's right, Carney remembered the name, born out of the mad jealousy in his heart.

"He was shrewd, he was decisive, he was young and he had more wealth than the entire Rothschild family, but he was still tall and handsome, especially those eyes full of mystery, and the smile that knew everything under control......"

Every time Mira said these words, Carney would notice that her eyes were different, and he knew that Mira was a very strong woman, and such a woman belonged only to stronger men.

Carney met a fierce rival, and since then he has vowed in his heart that he must surpass Zhang Meng, and even take everything that Zhang Meng has.

Carney smiled happily when Zhang Mengjihua borrowed a billion pounds from the Bank of England because he knew the opportunity had finally come.

That's right, Carney didn't have a good heart, he wanted Zhang Meng to change from the richest man in Shijie to a poor egg overnight.

In the study of the Prince of Chang'an's Mansion, Zhang Meng suddenly sneezed.

"Your Highness, are you not feeling well?"

Tan Jincheng, director of the Bureau of Homeland Security, who was reporting to Zhang Meng, looked full of concern.

Since his wife died and his daughter became a vegetative person, Tan Jincheng is no longer a person with feelings. Except for Zhang Meng, he would not care about anyone, even Zhang Xinhai and Zhang Wei wanted to hear a word of concern and flattery to them.

Tan doesn't trust anyone but Zhang Meng, which is one of the main reasons why he is best suited for the position of director of the Homeland Security Agency.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Meng smiled slightly and motioned for Tan Jincheng to continue.

Tan Jincheng then took out a report from the briefcase and respectfully handed it to Zhang Meng.

"Your Highness, we have confirmed that the Japanese Jihua is creating a local war in Shanghai in order to attract the attention of the Great Powers and reduce the pressure on Japan on the Northeast issue."

"That's a good idea!"

Zhang Meng nodded, glanced at the calendar on the desk, and there was still a week to go until January 28th. The Japanese were about to launch the 128 Incident and provoke the First Battle of Songhu.

Tan Jincheng continued: "According to reliable information, the Japanese military department intends to temporarily stop attacking our Datang and let the combined fleet suddenly turn to the Xiangshang Sea. ”

"Oops!" Zhang Meng suddenly became surprised, and said with a worried expression: "If the Japanese Navy suddenly reroutes and raids Shanghai—"

Tan Jincheng nodded and answered: "It is difficult for Shanghai to be defended by a single 19th Route Army!" (To be continued......)
