Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Wei was happy to go crazy in his heart, if all these silver were exchanged for gold, they would immediately appreciate several times, with the system in hand, he was still afraid of financial attacks? The more silver came, the happier he became.

Approaching the end of the exchange period, the big family of the Xia Empire couldn't hold it anymore and couldn't wait any longer, and they all joined the ranks of the exchange, so that in the last few days, there was an exchange volume of more than 300 million yuan every day, and Zhang Wei was busy and happy.

But the closer he got to the end of the term, the more restless Nathan's heart became; The other members of the committee, however, were mixed in their excitement, victory was in sight, and it was soon time to harvest the wool of the Xia Empire.

Germany's exclusion from this financial war made the German emperor feel very hurt his self-esteem, and it was too much to underestimate Germany that Germany was not invited to participate in such a big event.

The Kaiser decided to help the Xia Empire deal with the European and American countries, and asked the ambassador to Shangjing to visit Hua Guoqiang to see if the Xia Empire needed help, if the Xia Empire was defeated, then Germany's loans were also very dangerous, besides, the Kaiser still wanted to see the jokes of the European and American countries.

In mid-August, Straesmann received a telegram from the Kaiser, saying that although he was not satisfied with the Kaiser's decision, he still had to faithfully carry out the Kaiser's decision.

Hua Guoqiang was very surprised by Strlesmann's arrival, and now the ambassadors of various countries are avoiding him, all ready to see the jokes of the Xia Empire, and take the opportunity to make enough money, where will there be time to visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xia Empire.

Streisman made his intentions clear, hoping to help the Xia Empire.

Hua Guoqiang called Zhang Wei to ask whether he would accept Germany's goodwill.

After thinking about it, Zhang Wei felt that this time the Germans did not participate in blocking the currency of the Xia Empire, so they would have a chance to make a fortune, so he instructed Hua Guoqiang to use 500 tons of gold as collateral to borrow from Germany, and send the loan funds to London, all of which were used to buy silver in Europe.

Seeing that the Xia Empire did not open its mouth widely, but took out gold as collateral, Streesmann was very happy to facilitate the Xia Empire's loans with various German commercial banks.

The London Gold and Silver Exchange in Europe was the largest precious metals exchange in the world at that time, and the daily trading volume was very large, and the pricing here determined the proportion of gold and silver exchange in other parts of the world.

Vice President Sun Zhengquan was ready to buy silver in London, especially after taking out a loan from Germany, he had plenty of ammunition in his hands, and this time he must leave an unforgettable lesson for the European and American countries.

On August 27 and the following days, the amount of exchange continued to be high, and the currency exchanged was worth the world's output value for a year at that time, and the people in the sales department were sweating in their hands.

As of the end of business on the afternoon of August 31, the entire empire exchanged a total of 4.7 billion yuan of banknotes, only a small part of which was exchanged by the citizens of the Xia Empire, and the total number would not exceed 400 million yuan, and the remaining 4.3 billion yuan was exchanged by the European and American countries represented by Nathan and the foreign forces that played the free ride, and only the European and American countries represented by Nathan exchanged 4 billion yuan.

Everyone looked at the report and looked at Zhang Wei with incredible eyes, not knowing what to do next.

Zhang Wei knew that the decisive battle was coming, and at this time we must first stabilize everyone's mentality, so he said: "Don't care about this issue, this is a good strategy formulated by the empire when it decided to issue paper money, the enemy acted exactly according to our original plan, and now it is in the hands of the empire, as long as everyone does their job well, the empire will have the final victory, and we must have confidence in the empire." ”

Gao Jinyuan said: "Everyone has not rested for a month, and today the task of the empire has been successfully completed, regardless of the position, 100 yuan per person will be paid, and 2 days off will be taken to take a good rest." ”

The words of the two reassured everyone, and they could rest for 2 days with peace of mind.

Beginning on September 1, a large number of silver emerged in the European market, and soon the silver trading price was pressed from 1:36 to 1:39, and the afternoon opened with a cliff-like decline, and the news was quickly sent to Zhang Wei, who instructed to continue waiting.

The central bank of the Xia Empire is on holiday for 2 days, and European and American countries know that they will definitely not suppress the price of silver in these 2 days, and it will last for a long time at the bottom, only by hovering at the bottom price for a long time, they can collect enough chips, and they will also take advantage of the crazy depreciation of silver prices to exchange the gold of the Xia Empire, and they will not allow the price of silver to rise until the gold of the Xia Empire is exchanged.

By the close of trading on the afternoon of September 1, the price of silver had slipped to 1:45.

On September 2, this time continued to ferment, and people who did not know the truth frantically poured into the exchange, all of them were throwing silver, and the price of silver fell all the way, and the more it fell, the fewer the number of transactions; As soon as the market opened on the afternoon of September 2, the exchange ratio was reduced to 1:57, and the closing price was 1:66.

The closing price of the day satisfied the finance ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Russia, and now they are all concentrated in London to meet the arrival of the decisive battle, which is the price of 1:66, which indicates that the profit is close to 1 times, and according to Nathan's plan, the price will continue to be pushed down, so that there will be more gains.

The British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Herbert Henry Asquith, wanted to use this currency war to earn enough money to make up for the financial deficit caused by the Boer War to the British Empire, and use the money earned this time to expand the navy, and the British Empire had to build more battleships and battlecruisers to protect his colonists; Seeing that the price of silver was suppressed to 1:66, and now the victory was in hand, and this price was only one step away from the 1:70 to 1:80 set by Nathan, as if seeing the final result of the war.

British Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman was very satisfied with the temporary results, and through this currency war, Britain, France, the United States and Russia would be closely united and restore the glory of the British Empire, which was their goal, and it would also serve as a warning to the rest of the world that the British Empire would not let go of any country that violated the interests of the British Empire, and would definitely make them pay a heavy price.

Britain, France and Russia have even made a plan, if the economy of the Xia Empire is completely destroyed in this financial war and their wealth is looted, after the financial war, the armies and navies of the three countries will take advantage of the situation to attack the Xia Empire, completely wipe out the Xia Empire, and pull out this cancer that threatens the security of their sphere of influence.
