Chapter 11: The Super Vault

Cartier has a presence in the United Kingdom, with stores located in the bustling shopping streets of more than 20 major cities in the United Kingdom. After the Tang Royal Jewelry Company annexed Cartier, it took over all of its branches in the United Kingdom.

When the Tang Empire was allowed to borrow one billion pounds from the Bank of England, the British restricted the purchase of goods in Britain because the British restricted the billion pounds from buying goods in Britain in order to prevent Zhang Meng from using this huge amount of pounds to do other things that were not conducive to the development of the British economy.

This additional clause seems to restrict Zhang Meng to death, but in fact, Zhang Meng has been prepared for a long time, when the Tang Royal Jewelry Company annexed Cartier, but now it has become the best cover for Zhang Meng to cash out gold from Britain.

The jewellery produced by Datang Royal Jewellery Company was deeply loved by the British elite and local tyrants, which on the one hand opened up a high-end lucrative market for Datang Jewellery Company's jewellery sales, and on the other hand, it also attracted down-line suppliers from all over the UK to join.

The chain operation of the Datang Royal Jewelry Company is implemented throughout Shijie, especially in the gold-rich United Kingdom and France, where the chain stores are the most.

In order to be able to bring the billion-pound loan funds from the Bank of England out of the UK, Zhang Meng ordered the Datang Royal Jewelry Company to collectively purchase 7,400 tonnes of gold from the 25 British gold suppliers it had offline. London is the world's second-largest gold exchange after New York, and vendors quickly raised the huge amount of gold through their own channels.

The Datang Royal Jewelry Company issued them vouchers for payment, and the major suppliers then took these vouchers to settle directly with the Bank of England.

The Bank of England lent Zhang Meng a billion pounds in loans, which were paid directly to 25 Huang suppliers in the UK. The purchasing power of one billion pounds is equivalent to 7,332.8 tonnes of gold, with another 67.2 tonnes of gold being settled by Datang Jewellery.

So. Although the British restricted Zhang Meng on the issue of loans, Zhang Meng eventually converted the billion-pound cash into 7,332.8 tons of gold and transferred it back to the Tang Empire.

When this batch of gold was safely transported into the central bank of the Tang Empire, that is, the vault of the Datang Bank, it was preserved. Its total gold reserves have reached a staggering 16,000 tonnes.

Standing in the huge underground vault, the mountains of gold stacked with gold bars in front of you are shining with gold.

Smelling the smell of money emitted by the gold bars, Zhang Meng couldn't help but be intoxicated.

"This vault is estimated to be the largest vault in the whole Shijie, His Royal Highness insisted on building this huge vault at the beginning, and now it seems that His Highness's original judgment was correct, and this 16,000 tons of gold is just enough to hold."

As the captain of the vault security team of Datang Bank, Li Chengyi, who was codenamed Monkey, a core member of the Blue Fox Special Service Team, was transferred here as the security captain. It stems from Zhang Meng's emphasis on the security system of Datang Bank's vault and his trust in monkeys.

"This super vault was built to be filled with gold twenty years later, but I never thought it would be full now. If only I had known that the original design had been bigger. ”

The monkey smiled and said, "Has Your Highness forgotten that half of the gold in this is owed to the British, and it will have to be returned to others in the future." ”

Zhang Meng smiled slightly and replied confidently, "That's right." For the time being, it's still British. But soon they will be ours. ”

If it were before, the monkey might not believe Zhang Meng's bragging, but since robbing nearly 1,000 tons of gold from the Quadrillary Bank and making thousands of tons of gold on Wall Street, the monkey was completely impressed by Zhang Meng, and he was full of confidence in his old captain from the bottom of his heart. Now no matter what Zhang Meng says, he will believe it, even if he doesn't understand.

There are more and more people like monkeys who are full of fanatical admiration for Zhang Meng.

If there is a god in this shijie. Then they will undoubtedly regard Zhang Meng as a god.

"Your Highness, everyone else is out doing things. But you transferred me here to look at the vault. This vault is built like an impregnable wall, and I don't even need to look at it. Do you think it's a different person? ”

Monkey was a little bored guarding the vault every day, and he missed his teammates and his trained men.

Zhang Meng knew what the monkey thought, but for the safety of the vault, he had to aggrieved the monkey to watch here.

"Which of the banks we robbed before was not impregnable? Didn't we crack it in the end? This vault is the life of our Tang Empire, if the entire Tang Empire is a skyscraper, then this vault is the foundation of this building, if something happens here, the entire mansion will collapse in an instant. As long as it is a vault designed by people, there will always be its loopholes, and I let you stare here because of my absolute trust in you. ”

Being able to get Zhang Meng's trust so much and entrust such an important task to himself, the monkey suddenly understood his responsibility.

"Thank you Your Highness for your trust, my subordinates will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations of me, and I will definitely guard here."

Zhang Meng nodded and punched the monkey hard in the right chest. The monkey didn't move, because that punch was one of the ways the members of their Blue Fox Secret Service showed trust in each other.

The vault of Datang Bank was built in a 30-meter natural cave, and as an expert in robbing the bank's vault, Zhang Meng had already considered various possible vault defense loopholes when designing this vault. It is not an exaggeration to call it an impregnable wall.

However, as Zhang Meng himself said, as long as it is designed by people, there will inevitably be loopholes. Zhang Meng didn't dare to be arrogant, it was better to be careful, after all, there are people outside the sky, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After inspecting the security work of the vault, Zhang Meng asked the monkey to think about how to crack the vault if he is idle and bored, and once he finds a way, it proves that there are indeed security vulnerabilities in the vault, and these security vulnerabilities can be found in time to improve the security system of the vault.

The monkey readily agreed, and Zhang Meng also found him a brain-based thing, saving him from being idle and bored.

When Zhang Meng returned to the mansion, Madoff was already waiting for him in his study.

"How's it going?"

"Back to Your Highness, there is some trouble in the matter you explained!"

Zhang Meng looked at Madoff with a little anxiety in his eyes, so he asked, "Trouble?" If you can make Madoff feel in trouble, you must be in big trouble? ”

Madoff suddenly smiled bitterly, nodded, and explained: "I went to France to negotiate with the owners of several of the largest underground banks in France according to His Highness's instructions. However, when the contract was about to be signed, the French branch of the Rothsjend family suddenly intervened, and they had a strong influence in France, and the owners of the money bank quickly raised the price and demanded a tax of 80%. ”

The so-called 50% tax refers to the fact that when underground banks exchange coins for domestic and foreign investors, they must extract a certain amount of tax-avoidance profits in accordance with normal procedures. Because the underground bank is illegal to carry out currency exchange transactions, to avoid the government department tax threshold, for bulk currency transactions, to avoid the government can pay hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of taxes, underground money banks according to the transaction tax avoidance amount for a commission, generally is about one or two percent, the risk of high to draw three to four percent.

Zhang Meng plans to take advantage of the imminent outbreak of the financial crisis in France to inject 10 billion US dollars directly into France, and then withdraw immediately after making a profit, this is a huge currency transaction, if the French underground bank wants to draw eighty percent of the tax, then Zhang Meng will go to the underground bank to exchange currency, after all, it is safer to go directly to the French official channel.

But the reason why Zhang Meng chose to trade in underground banks is because the transaction tax amount of $10 billion is huge, and he can save a huge amount of expenses by going to underground banks. At the same time, Zhang Meng also did not want the French government to find out the source of this huge amount of money. If it is found out by the French government that the central bank of the Tang Empire is acting as an international financial predator to attack the French financial industry and illegally make huge profits, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the Tang Empire and France. At the same time, it is also equivalent to telling the British that Zhang Meng told them to borrow money to harm the French, and the Anglo-French alliance will inevitably cause huge political pressure on the Tang Empire.

Obviously, Zhang Meng has no intention of offending Britain and France, at least not now.

"Have you talked to anyone from the Rothschilds?"

Madoff was suddenly frightened: "Without His Highness's order, his subordinates dare not contact them. However, they seem to have known that their subordinates are doing things for His Highness, so they sent someone to hand over a letter directly to their subordinates, asking me to hand it over to my behind-the-scenes boss. ”

As he spoke, Madoff handed Zhang Meng a cowhide with both hands.

"With the strength of the Rothsjeld family, it's not strange for them to know that you're doing things for me, so you don't have to be nervous."

While Zhang Meng comforted Madoff, his eyes fell on the seal fire paint of the cowhide envelope.

It was a special six-pointed star imprint, with several Jewish letters representing the Rothschilds in the center.

Seeing the special imprint of the Rothschild family for the first time, Zhang Meng couldn't help but think of this pattern on her family ring when he met Mira.

Zhang Meng opened it and saw that the first sentence at the beginning of the Tang Empire, His Royal Highness Zhang Meng, was written in standard Chinese. Zhang Meng couldn't help but smile, it seemed that the Rothschilds were afraid that they would not understand their meaning, so they specially changed to Chinese.

After reading the content, Zhang Meng had no expression. The letter didn't say anything special, just a few simple greetings, asking to arrange a time to meet with Zhang Meng for a detailed discussion.

However, Zhang Meng soon realized a danger signal.

He suddenly discovered that the content of the letter was not written from right to left and from top to bottom, but from left to right.

"Interesting! They even know about my habit of reading letters? ”

Madoff didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Meng's words, but he caught a fierce flash in Zhang Meng's eyes. (To be continued......)
