Chapter 756 You Can't Guess My Move

Lynch talked freely in front of these nobles without any stage fright. His age may not be the youngest, but he is about the same.

Facing those nobles who were older than him and had a higher social status than him, he never felt that these people were better than himself, no matter in any way.

The way he looks at these people is like standing on the side of the road looking at those ordinary people. There is no difference. This also makes him have a very special demeanor, an aura that makes people subconsciously think seriously about what he said. if.

"For another example..." He stretched out his hand and casually pointed in the direction of the palace, "The struggle between the prime minister and His Majesty for power actually has nothing to do with us."

"Whether it's the prime minister or your majesty, will they share the power with one of you after they have power, or even everyone has a share?"

There is no need for someone to answer this question. Everyone knows that it is impossible. The prime minister or the emperor will only place their confidants into various important departments, definitely not marginal nobles like them.

This is the truth, their faces are a bit ugly.

"So we also isolated this matter. In fact, we are just bystanders. Whether the prime minister wins or loses has nothing to do with us. Why should we actively choose to stand on his side?"

"He lowered the Guafra financial index just because it was in his interest. He wanted the chancellor to leave the center, so he had to make a 'history'. He didn't do it to make us more money."

"So in my opinion, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, what matters is who can give us more benefits, the benefits we can get."

"Even if we choose to stand on His Majesty's side!"

He put down the cup in his hand, with a see-through sarcasm on his face, "The future can't be eaten, only the right to hold it in your hands. Let's not move for now, and when they fight fiercely, they will come to win them over." We are."

"Whoever offers a higher price at that time, we will stand on their side!"

If the big nobles in the Privy Council knew what Lynch said, they would definitely say that he had no sense of shame, that he was vacillating on such a big matter, and that his eyes were all about interests, and he looked like a ruthless villain.

But Lynch is not afraid that they will know. On the contrary, if these people know what he said, they can spread what he said, which will help to negotiate with the prime minister or the emperor later-I can be bought.

After taking a breath and giving everyone some time to think, Lynch spoke again.

As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent again.

"The next situation won't change much, but I have one thing I need you to do..." There was not much resistance in the eyes of the surrounding nobles.

They are aristocrats, and they don't need to be very smart, as long as there are smart people around them.

The enthusiastic little earl nodded vigorously, and Lynch suddenly felt that even if he said to be his father at this time, he would agree.

Of course, this idea is just an absurd idea, like lightning that lights up and then goes out.

He came back to his senses, and asked earnestly, "I need you to borrow money from the Royal Bank of Gafla, and various noble banks that may have relations with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as private banks."

"I know that nobles have the privilege to waive interest for a certain period of time. I ask you to borrow as much money as possible. If they want mortgages, give them mortgages."

"Mortgage your house, your car, everything that can be mortgaged, and don't be afraid."

Lynch looked at a few nobles who seemed to be unwell and twisted their bodies, and smiled and comforted, "I don't want you to do anything with the money, all you have to do is borrow the money from the bank Come out and take it back to your own home."

"You don't give it to me, to the prime minister or to anyone, just put it in your home and return it to the bank when the month is up."

"We only need to borrow one month's time, and one month's time is enough!"

There was a kind of gloating in Lynch's slightly smiling eyebrows and eyes. Some of the nobles still don't understand why Lynch did this, but they feel that doing so does not seem to be unacceptable.

If Lynch wanted to embezzle the money, they would never borrow it, but Lynch didn't use the money, and they kept it for themselves, and it would be returned to the bank after one month expired, without even interest. They will have no burden.

As for worrying about someone going to rob?
Please, this is the local area of ​​Gefra. It may take three to five months to catch an ordinary person who robs a police station, but if he robs a nobleman, if the criminal is not shot dead on the spot, he may be sentenced to prison in just three to five days. capital punishment.

Mobilizing one noble is equivalent to mobilizing all the nobles, which is different from the social form of the federation.

In the federation, capitalists will only make trouble for other suffering capitalists (not only will they not help them when they find out that the other party has encountered difficulties, but will take the opportunity to snipe at the other party and plunder their wealth), and if they can keep doing nothing, it is considered their kindness .

But in Gefra, this is not acceptable, the nobles can fight the nobles to the death, but other people cannot challenge the nobles across social classes, no matter what form it is.

Soon after Lynch finished giving instructions, everyone left separately. They had to go back and calculate how much money their property could be mortgaged, and then go to the bank to borrow the money back.

Because Lynch did not ask everyone to keep this matter a secret, and it is impossible for these people's actions not to be leaked at this time-they always go to the bank to borrow money, and the relationship with the bank is very complicated. Someone will notice what these people are doing.

So on the second afternoon when they gathered to chat, the prime minister found out about it.

"You mean... Lynch asked them to go to major banks for loans?" The Prime Minister frowned first, and he put down the pen in his hand. He was busy building his own team for the past two days, so he didn't notice Lynch The movement of the group of marginal nobles.

Now when he suddenly heard this kind of news, the first thought that flashed in his mind was that these people planned to take advantage of the process of seizing power between him and His Majesty the Emperor to make a huge sum of "national wealth".

At this moment, His Excellency the Prime Minister felt a surge of anger in his heart. Although they did plan to lower the financial index, isn't it too ugly to eat this bonus so openly?

"I see..." He agreed unhappily. After he seized the power, he would definitely make these little nobles bleed once, and make them spit out their money and profits.

But just when he was about to continue working, he picked up the pen, and when a stroke fell, a drop of ink fell on the paper, permeating the paper and spreading around, he suddenly froze.

"So that's the case?!", his eyes widened slightly, and he understood.

The prime minister has qualified political thinking ability, but for a moment, he suddenly realized that Lynch asked those little nobles to borrow money, not to continue shorting the financial index, but to help him!
This idea sounds a bit unbelievable. How could borrowing money from the bank affect the outcome of the power struggle between him and His Majesty the Emperor?

But by chance, he realized in a flash that Lynch could indeed do it.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he grabbed the flashing light and began to dig deeper. He was so excited that he couldn't help standing up, walked to the table and walked a few steps back and forth. Know what Lynch is going to do.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer needs to pull the Gefra financial index in order to stabilize his current power, so that the Prime Minister and the Emperor will not continue to cause political strife for financial power.

To pull up the Gefra financial index, money is indispensable, and it is a lot of money!
In fact, it is very simple to drive the index to rise, just buy, buy, buy.

Don't care how others sell, keep buying, as long as you buy the price, those timid retail investors who are frightened by market fluctuations, like retail investors who have been panicking, will become bold again under the impetus of greed.

They will not continue to sell, but choose to wait and see, which gives the index room to rise.

The reason is very simple, but the question is, where does the money come from?

The money of the nobles is not so easy to get. Your Excellency the Prime Minister knows this very well. If the nobles use money to fight for power for him, he will not only compensate them with the money that the nobles gave them, but also double the compensation.

What's more, even if the chancellor of the exchequer keeps his power now, the next five to ten years will not be too easy. Most of his confidants will be demoted and punished, and other people will be placed in important positions, and he will be emptied .

The nobles would not lend him money, and if he wanted to increase his stock, he could only borrow from the bank.

He has many industries, some of which have been passed down for hundreds of years, and a large number of works of art. He mortgages these things to the bank and borrows money from the bank to raise the index.

When the situation stabilizes in the future, not only will he not lose money, but he will also make money. After selling all the stocks in his hand and repaying the loan, he may still have a profit.

Of course, this is an ideal situation.

But what if it's not ideal?
For example... the bank has no money!
Yes, the bank has no money, and a large number of nobles borrow money from the bank. Would the bank dare not to borrow money?

Many of the aristocrats themselves are shareholders of the bank, and they don't even pay attention to shareholders?
The bank also has a lot of money, as long as the local government can't raise the money in a short time, the chancellor of the exchequer will definitely die!

Having figured this out, Your Excellency the Prime Minister punched hard, turned around, picked up the phone, and expressed his thoughts and demands.

The content is roughly the same as what Lynch said. He asked all the nobles on his side to borrow money from all banks as much as possible, and not leave a penny to the Chancellor of the Exchequer!

If you don't have money, I'll see how you raise the index!

And this also contributed to the Prime Minister's desire to see Lynch as soon as possible.

This is an amazing young man!
