In Britain, there are two banks of England: the Bank of England and the Royal Bank of England. Which one is the central bank? The Bank of England, of course.

A guest arrived at the Royal Bank of England. This guest was a representative of the Cayman ACE Fund Company, a delegation from this company, who came to handle loan business.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me to the VIP room." The bank manager personally led them to the highest-level VIP room.

These strange guests have a huge business opportunity to work with them.

"We have pledged some bonds, a rather large amount; now we need some money, but we don't want to cash out these bonds."

The manager of the Royal Bank of England recognized the accent of the man as coming from that rude country across the border. However, business is business, and these arrogant and rude fellows should be treated like royalty.

"Of course, I am the most prestigious bank in Britain, with strong financial backing."

As soon as the manager finished speaking, the person opposite him looked at him as if he were an idiot, and then, to his puzzled gaze, produced some documents related to registered US Treasury bonds.

The manager had a bad feeling, then took the document handed to him, which clearly stated Cayman ACE Fund Company and the words "one billion US dollars".

"WTF! This is a huge gift!" the manager thought to himself, but he was incredibly excited. He then asked in an excited tone, "How much would you like to borrow?"

"ALL IN!"

"OK!" The manager immediately cheered, having exceeded this year's performance target, and then happily went to contact the head office.

The same thing is happening at many banks. There are funds like Solomon ABC Fund, Caribbean CNM Fund, and so on. These funds have been active among banks recently, using the same methods to borrow large amounts of pounds.

These US Treasury bonds have been verified to be genuine, which has greatly pleased the banks; this matter has recently spread throughout the City.

A manager at a financial institution ran into a friend at a salon. The two worked in the same institution, but at different ones. When they got together, he brought up this matter.

A: "Have you heard? Many overseas funds have made large loans here, using US Treasury bonds."

Friend B, naturally aware of the news circulating in the industry, immediately said, "Of course, and the amount is quite large, reaching ten billion US dollars."

"WTF, that's insane!" A exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief. He knew there might be a lot, but he hadn't expected this many.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew something must have occurred, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.

Unbeknownst to them, large amounts of British pounds appeared on the foreign exchange market, and these pounds were used to make German marks, US dollars, and other currencies. This situation has not abated since the beginning of August.

In addition to the British pound, there were also billions of US dollars in US Treasury bonds, which were loaned from some banks in Rome in lira; these lira were then converted into US dollars and marks.

These pounds and lira are exchanged for dollars and marks in the foreign exchange market with leverage. In the trillion-dollar foreign exchange market, how can you play the game if the price fluctuates a little bit every day without leverage?

Who designed these schemes? Of course, it was Zhang San. He bought a large amount of US Treasury bonds, and then used these US Treasury bonds to borrow pounds from Britain and lira from Rome, and then slowly sold them on the foreign exchange market to buy dollars and marks.

Although Britain has declined, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a wrecked ship still has three thousand nails.

His method avoids offending Britain openly, and even if he does, he's not afraid because of the diversionary tactic of the powerful Socrates. Moreover, Zhang San didn't directly exchange his money for US dollars from British banks. If he had, these banks wouldn't have needed to confront Socrates at all, and the other side's foreign exchange reserves of four or five hundred billion US dollars would have decreased by 20%-25%.

With this, what's the point of playing? Just admit defeat.

The short selling of Britain is not without reason; it wavers between continental Europe and North America, unwilling to join the EU or fully align itself with North America.

They now have a very troubling problem: should they call their son "Dad" or their henchmen "Brother"?

Regardless of who or what, this kind of opportunistic behavior, trying to please both sides, is the least desirable, and that's the impression Britain gives people.

Zhang San could understand this behavior; the other party was still immersed in the glory of the past, unable to recognize reality.

When someone like that gets into trouble, no one is willing to help.

There are some things that Zhang San won't do himself, but New Era Financial Group has set up a branch there, ready to act at any time, ready to short stock index futures. This kind of small-scale short selling following the trend is fine, right?

Zhang San is currently in Hong Kong. The entire New Era Financial Group has contributed one billion US dollars, and nine billion US dollars have been borrowed from North America. Such a huge amount of funds cannot be managed without someone coordinating things in the middle. However, he is becoming increasingly inconspicuous. Now is a critical period, and mistakes cannot be made.

While Zhang San was quietly preparing to go to London, a rumor was circulating in Hong Kong's entertainment circle: Guan Shan's daughter, Guan Meiren, one of the earliest Chinese film emperors, has become wealthy. She bought a villa on Mid-Levels for five million yuan and often spends the night in that mansion on Pollock's Path at the top of the hill.

"That girl's now hooked up with a financial tycoon; what can you do when she's so beautiful?"

"If I were that pretty, I'd be willing too."

This matter also reached the ears of Miss Hong Kong, Li, who immediately said to Boss Liu, "Oh dear, I have so many clothes, and I have nowhere to put them! It's so annoying!"

The tycoon Liu gifted her a thousand-square-foot mansion, and... by using the "gift of a house" tactic, she gained the favor of many female stars.

Boss Liu immediately said, "I'll give you a villa so you can store your clothes and bags there." His generosity immediately made Miss Li happy. Her inner thoughts were: Hmph, little vixen, I've outdone you now, haven't I?

As for Miss Hong Kong moving into a villa, Kwan Mei-yan didn't care at all. She's a billionaire, and she earned her money through her own judgment.

She was a self-made millionaire, but subconsciously she overlooked the fact that it was Zhang San who helped her make money.

However, there was one thing that broke her defenses. At a party hosted by people in the entertainment industry, Kwan Mei-yan saw Miss Hong Kong wearing a diamond necklace and flaunting it next to her, which made her very unhappy because she recognized the necklace.
