"What? He's going to borrow £1 billion? Is he crazy?"

In the British Prime Minister's office, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain reported to MacDonald that Zhang Meng planned to borrow 1 billion pounds from the Bank of England, MacDonald was stunned.

It is precisely because MacDonald deals with Zhang Meng often that he knows Zhang Meng very well.

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

"No! There must be a problem with this!"

MacDonald immediately stood up and walked back and forth at the table of determination. He thought of almost all possible factors, and even once guessed that Zhang Meng might be able to pay the debt and occupy the Fiji Islands without giving the British money.

But what he never expected was that Zhang Meng would actually borrow money from the UK in turn, and he would open one billion pounds with one mouth.

"Prime Minister, please forgive me for saying something presumptuously, I don't think there is any problem. Due to the impact of the US economic crisis, the Bank of England has just withdrawn its billion pounds from the United States and is not sure where to invest. Zhang Meng used his Datang Bank as a guarantee and promised the Bank of England a 3% interest rate, which is no more reward than this."

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

"I don't agree with the Prime Minister's view. Although domestic credit is not as serious as the United States, the risks are still too high. It is very likely that investment in China will lose all your money, and even if there is a return, it will definitely not be as high as Zhang Meng's return rate."

"No, you don't know this guy Zhang Meng! He is a profitable businessman who can't get up early! Do you know? The information from Mi3 shows that this bastard started the printing machine with our supervisory committee on his back and sent over 2 billion yuan of Tang Yuan in two months. This huge sum of money flowed into the US market through the secret operation of the international banking group. As a result, before and after the Wall Street crash, do you know how much money he made? It's 5 billion US dollars!"

Whenever McDonald thinks of Zhang Meng making the huge amount of $5 billion in the United States, he always fills his face with envy, jealousy and hatred.

If he knew that Zhang Meng had a huge transaction from an underground bank, if he knew that Zhang Meng had made not five billion but nearly ten billion, he would probably not be able to sleep at night from now on.

After hearing MacDonald's words, Chamberlain also looked a little envious and jealous, but he obviously knew this a long time ago. Therefore, he was not as persistent as MacDonald.

"I also understand Zhang Meng's actions on Wall Street. Because of this, our Ministry of Finance and the Bank of England board of directors will be assured to lend a billion pounds to Zhang Meng. 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, with such a huge amount of billion pounds, even if the US President comes to ask us for borrowing money, the Bank of England will not lend him."

McDonald was about to continue refuting him. Suddenly he discovered a problem.

"I heard from your tone. It seems that the Bank of England has agreed to lend money to Zhang Meng?"

Chamberlain nodded and smiled slightly, and it seemed that he was talking about how long you understood it after so long.

"Who allowed you to do this?"

MacDonald suddenly got angry.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that the Ministry of Finance is finalized by our Conservative Party. The Bank of England is not under your jurisdiction, they have the right to pursue their own interests."

Because it was a joint cabinet, the Labor Party retained the position of prime minister, but as a balance, the prime minister was controlled by the Conservatives. The British Prime Minister could only restrict the pound issuance rights of England and Wales controlled by the Bank of England, but could not interfere with the Bank of England's foreign loan business.

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

"Very good! I see how you ended up! Last year, Zhang Meng cheated the Americans, and this year it's probably time to cheat us British pigs!"

Chamberlain smiled awkwardly: "Prime Minister, don't be angry. How can you compare us to the British in this way?"

"Go back and tell your leader Mr. Stanley, and I will also give him a famous Chinese saying: Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but just be afraid of teammates like pigs!"

"I will convey it to Mr. Stanley truthfully. Do you have anything else to order from the Prime Minister? Chamberlain is willing to serve you."

"Serve me? I think you all go and serve Zhang Meng!"

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

"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 trump card and way of making money. After all, in the current economic crisis in the UK, if Zhang Meng's way of making money, Stanley and his Conservative Party can boost the British economy.

But MacDonald was already furious, and Chamberlain didn't dare to stay for a moment. He was afraid that MacDonald would not help but pick up the desk lamp and smash him.

In the VIP room of the Bank of England headquarters building on Needle and Thread Street, Zhang Xiaoqing, the representative of the Tang Empire in the UK, signed a contract for "England-Tang Da Loan" with Carney, general manager of the Bank of England.

According to the contract provisions, the Datang Empire used the Tang Yuan issue rights held by Datang Bank as collateral to borrow 1 billion pounds from the Bank of England Bank of England with interest of 3%, and was repaid in six years. Only the interest of the year was 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 won the advice of Conservative leader Stanley and loaned the Tang Empire a billion pounds of funds. In addition to the 100 million pounds of pounds to pay for the Tang Empire's purchase of the Fiji Islands from the UK, another 900 million pounds must be purchased from the UK, and the relevant British units where the goods were purchased were issued as a standard to require the Bank of England to lend money.

In this way, the Bank of England is equivalent to limiting the scope of use of this loan. This is also the decision made by Stanley as the leader of the British Conservative Party to safeguard the UK's own interests. He just wanted to see what tricks Zhang Meng wanted to do. He also looked forward to Zhang Meng being able to create another Wall Street miracle.

The reason why Stanley knew about the Wall Street miracle that Zhang Meng created two years ago was because the Conservatives had close ties with the Rothschild family in the UK, and they held most of the shares of the Bank of England.

At the beginning, Mira, the representative of the American branch of the family and Aihad, the representative of the German branch of Aihad, planned to swallow Zhang Meng's Datang Bank together. However, Zhang Meng was too cunning. Before Mira and Aihad had time to take action, Zhang Meng suddenly withdrew his investment. As a result, Zhang Meng took billions of dollars and left, catching Mira and Aihad off guard. If they had not withdrawn their investment from Wall Street in time, they would have fallen into trouble.

Even though the Rothschild family withdrawn their capital in time, they did not make much profit, because Zhang Meng shorted the stock in advance and allowed not many people to buy the stocks in the hands of the Rothschild family, forcing them to be transferred at a low price. The profit was naturally pitiful.

Carney is the representative of the Rothschild family's branch in the UK. 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, the purpose is different from Stanley. Stanley was affirming Zhang Meng's ability to make money. That's why he used the power of the Conservative Party to help Zhang Meng borrow money from the Bank of England. In order to increase the income of the Bank of England, and to stipulate that one billion pounds must buy British goods and thus boost the British economy. Under the premise of national interests, Stanley also wanted to see how Zhang Meng used one billion pounds to make more money. After all, interest alone is a large number. If you can't make money, Zhang Mengguang would cry to death if you pay interest.

In addition to earning high interest income for the Bank of England, Carney's purpose was to hold his anger in his heart.

It turned out that Carney had always been in love with Mira, and the reason why he was willing to work for the Rothschild family was that he liked Mira. However, the rules of the Rothschild family were extremely strict. Carney had to have extraordinary skills to marry Mira.

Carney worked hard for this, and he became the youngest general manager of the Bank of England and the youngest financial expert in the world. However, he did not predict that the US financial crisis was so serious. But when he was planning to propose to Mira, he found that Mira would often mention a person's name when talking to him.

Zhang Meng!

Yes, Carney remembered the name, which came from his crazy jealousy.

"He is smart, he is decisive in his work. He is young but has wealth that has surpassed the entire Rothschild family. But he is still tall and handsome, especially those mysterious eyes, and the smile that is in control..."

Whenever Mira said these words, Kaney would find that her eyes were different. He knew that Mira was a very strong woman, and such a woman was only a stronger man.

Carney met his strong rival, and since then he swore in his heart that he must surpass Zhang Meng, and even seize everything Zhang Meng has.

When Zhang Meng planned to borrow a billion pounds from the Bank of England, Carney smiled happily because he knew that the opportunity had finally come.

That's right, Carnie has no kindness. He wants Zhang Meng to turn from the world's richest man to the pauper overnight.

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

"Your Highness, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

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

Since his wife's death and his daughter became a vegetable, Tan Jincheng has no longer been a person with feelings. Apart from Zhang Meng, he would not care about anyone, and even Zhang Xinhai and Zhang Wei could not hear a word of caring and flattering to them.

Apart from Zhang Meng, Tan Jincheng does not trust anyone, which is one of the main reasons why he is most suitable to serve as the director of the Bureau of Homeland Security.

"Not worry!" Zhang Meng smiled slightly and signaled Tan Jincheng to continue.

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

"Your Highness, we have confirmed that the Japanese plan to create a local war in Shanghai 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 and glanced at the calendar on the desk. It was January 28th. The Japanese were about to launch the January 28th Incident and provoke the first Battle of Shanghai.

Tan Jincheng continued: "According to reliable information, the Japanese military headquarters intends to temporarily stop attacking our Tang Dynasty and let the joint fleet suddenly turn to Shanghai."

"Oh no!" Zhang Meng suddenly became surprised and said with a worried look: "If the Japanese Navy suddenly changed its route to raid Shanghai-"
Chapter completed!
