Before Jiang Tianzi could be happy, Li Zhen smiled and said, "But there are conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Jiang Tianzi's breathing became rapid. One billion, he really dared to lend!
Li Zhen said calmly: "There must be collateral exceeding 200% of the value of the money."
Jiang Tianzi narrowed his eyes: "Mortgage?"
Li Zhen called Ding Zhenzhen to do some calculations and said to Jiang Tianzi: "If you want to loan one billion Kyushu coins, you need to mortgage us at least 15 tons of gold."
'puff'
Jiang Tianzi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. 15 tons of gold, is it actually worth one billion? This is a money grab.
Besides, Xinyuan Kingdom doesn’t have 15 tons of gold at all. How could there be so much gold? Gold doesn't just fall out of thin air.
"No."
"How much gold does your country have now? Let me calculate how much money you can loan?"
Jiang Tianqi hesitated for a long time. He was actually very reluctant to reveal the amount of gold reserves. But for Li Zhen, it doesn't matter whether these things are mentioned or not, because Li Zhen does not fight for the world and will not become an enemy in war.
"5 tons."
Li Zhen said: "Then we can only lend up to 300 million to your country."
Jiang Tianqi frowned and shook his head: "Too little. Three hundred million is not enough at all. Dongzhou and Beizhou have already established good relations. I'm not afraid to tell you that we just want to attack Northeast China. So three hundred million is not enough at all. Can we not Mortgage, don’t you still believe in the credibility of our Xinyuan Kingdom?”
"hehe."
Li Zhen just smiled and did not answer the question.
Jiang Tianzi was a little embarrassed: "Can't you change the collateral?"
Li Zhen said expressionlessly: "Then why don't you give up the loan? Don't you have 5 tons of gold? You can sell it to us for 1 billion. In this way, you don't need to mortgage and you have money again."
Jiang Tianzi's head shook like a rattle: "No, how can you sell so much gold? Since you have purchased gold in large quantities, you must also know the importance of gold. Let's do this, we will mortgage some land deeds to you."
“We don’t collect title deeds.”
Li Zhen laughed: "What's the use? It's just a piece of paper."
"Anyway, if you want a loan, just borrow one billion. If it's less, it's useless. But we only have 5 tons of gold to mortgage, and it will definitely be redeemed in the end."
Emperor Jiang is also a little angry, can't he be accommodating
Li Zhen said: "Then there is another way."
"any solution?"
"If you want to borrow one billion yuan, you need to mortgage five tons of gold, as well as yourself, Emperor Jiang, and the family members of the imperial officials of the Xinyuan Kingdom."
"presumptuous!"
Jiang Tianqi was completely blown away. What a shame and humiliation.
I have never heard of such a thing. The emperor of a country becomes a mortgage? Isn't this a joke
Jiang Tianqi walked away on the spot, having nothing to talk about.
Li Zhen didn't leave him alone, he just smiled and said: "You are welcome to come to us again at any time. The Ten Thousand Years Money Bank can provide loans to anyone in the world."
Jiang Tianzi froze, he knew what Li Zhen meant. If you don't borrow from others, you will get loans from others.
Wang Sandao may lend money, and the court may also lend money. It is also a different kind of threat: If you don’t get a loan from me, be careful of ruining the country.
After leaving Cangzhou County, Jia Liping and others were a little nervous: "Will he stop lending money?"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "I will definitely get a loan. He has no choice."
“…”
When the officials of the Xinyuan Kingdom heard the news, they were also furious. This is simply unreasonable.
To borrow money from a businessman, the emperor of a country was mortgaged as collateral. Doesn't this make people laugh out loud
After being furious, everyone calmed down again.
But if you don’t want a loan, what can you do
There is simply not enough money to attack the Northeastern states. The people of Northeastern states are fierce and fierce, and they are still affiliated with the imperial court. It is also on the border bordering the White Robe Kingdom, where heavy troops are stationed.
It's not like you say you want to fight and just call a group of people to fight. Fighting the Northeastern state is a war of attrition. Can the Xinyuan Kingdom afford it? After all, the country had just been founded, and more than half of it was emptied by Li Zhen, so all the foundation was gone.
The entire Xinyuan Kingdom's court was eerily silent...
In fact, Emperor Jiang has no way of making the decision on such a big matter. He is just an emperor on the surface.
Du Taiping still knew the whole story. He was a little surprised that Li Zhen was so rich and could afford one billion. I can't help but wonder, how rich is Li Zhen's Ten Thousand Years Financial Group
He weighed it again and again, and saw that the Taiping Regiment was already starting to make a move, and was already making the final assembly. Distraught.
This money must be loaned.
"loan!"
One sentence made Jiang Tianqi feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body became cold. Are you... going to be used as collateral
When the news reached Laoshan, Li Zhen had no patience to turn back and travel long distances to negotiate, and sent Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen to Cangzhou County for final negotiations.
There are no surprises, everything is expected. This era has forced the Ten Thousand Years Financial Group to rise, and it is difficult not to think about it. This is the general situation of the world. In fact, honor, disgrace, and dignity no longer matter. Money is king.
The Xinyuan Kingdom has no choice but to borrow money, otherwise it will perish. This is not just a matter of words.
If he didn't conquer the Northeastern states, the first thing Xun Shifei would do as soon as he established the empire was to use the power of eight states to conquer one state. Xinyuanguo himself did not have the confidence to withstand that kind of pressure.
Must borrow.
"Where's Li Zhen?"
"We are the main person in charge of Ten Thousand Years Money Bank, and we will negotiate with you."
Ding Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Jiang Tianqi felt bitter in his heart, was he no longer qualified to have an equal dialogue? But it doesn’t matter anymore. One billion must be borrowed, and it won’t work without borrowing.
Jia Liping took out a list: "Let me read the collateral. Five tons of gold, the emperor of the Xinyuan Kingdom Jiang Tianqi, the wife, eldest son, eldest daughter, and mother of General Liu Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Xinyuan Kingdom's military department. The finance minister of the Xinyuan Kingdom Mr. Xu Liuyun’s wife, eldest son, eldest daughter, and mother. Xinyuan Kingdom... "
In one breath, Jiang Tianqi read ten Xinyuan Kingdom ministers' family names. Jiang Tianqi did not interrupt, but just smiled bitterly. The emperor himself has mortgaged it, and it seems that they don't dare to have any objections to the minister's family, right
Fortunately, Li Zhen did not directly mortgage those ministers. Because that's just silly.
The minister's mortgage is actually dispensable. If a position is vacant, the people below can come up to fill the vacancy. But mortgaging their family is like a knife.
In the battle against Northeastern State, Emperor Jiang can be without him. After all, the Emperor only needs to direct the grand strategic direction. It mainly relies on people from various agencies to be responsible for tactical planning. Therefore, it is acceptable for Xinyuan Kingdom to mortgage Emperor Jiang...
Outside the door, a group of people stood, including the mortgaged ministers who had known the news in advance, all with gloomy expressions. But he sighed helplessly. Forced by the situation, there is no other way.
"You can sign now."
Jia Liping handed over a document, and Jiang Tianzi sighed and wrote his name.
Then the ministers of the Xinyuan Kingdom who had been waiting outside the door for a long time also took turns coming in to sign the contract. Agreement reached.
Jia Liping announced: "The New Yuan Kingdom has borrowed a total of one billion Kyushu dollars. After the total interest discount, the total interest for three years is 300 million Kyushu dollars. After three years, the New Yuan Kingdom will need to repay a total of 1.3 billion Kyushu dollars. Repayment in installments , on the 1st of every month, a repayment of 36.11 million is required. The repayment can be replaced by materials, grain, livestock, gold and silver. Does Emperor Jiang agree?"
Jiang Tianqi sighed: "I agree."
Ding Zhenzhen stood up and announced: "When 20% of the total loan is paid off, the collateral Jiang Tianzi can be returned, which means that when 20% is paid off, Jiang Tianzi can freely return to the country. When 20% of the total loan is paid off, Emperor Jiang can return to the country freely." Fifty, all ministers’ families can return to the country freely. When all arrears are paid off 100%, the 5 tons of gold pledged will be redeemable. Do you agree?”
"agree."
“…”
Ding Zhenzhen and Jia Liping looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time made a request to Jiang Tianqi: "We have prepared a residence in Quancheng County. During the mortgage period, you are not allowed to leave the residence at will. However, communication with the outside world is not restricted. Jiang Tianqi. Please."
Jiang Tianqi sighed deeply, got on the steam car with dozens of crying women, old people, and children, and entered Dongzhou with their luggage.
The ministers of Xinyuan Kingdom had red eyes and shouted: "We will definitely redeem you as soon as possible!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"We will conquer Northeast China as soon as possible and redeem the emperor!"
“…”
The most landmark loan in history, which shocked the world, was achieved at this moment.
