Chapter 1044 I want a loan! Can I use the title of National Master as collateral?
Chapter 1044 I want a loan! Can I use my title as a national master as collateral?!
Everyone took their seats.
Cornes Bull looked at Prince Mo with admiring eyes: "Master, you are here this time."
Mo Cai looked at him and went straight to the point: "My national teacher wants a loan!"
Everyone suddenly showed shocked expressions.
Did you hear that right?
The dignified Duke of the South, the teacher of the current head of state, wants to borrow money from the Federal Central Bank?
No matter which angle you think about it, this is a bit bizarre and surprising!
Cornes Bull quickly recovered from the shock, and after throwing away the bad emotions, he could still read the dangerous atmosphere in the unpredictable words. The National Master wanted to borrow money from the Central Bank, which was definitely
event!
This matter has even exceeded the scope of his power as the governor, and a decision must be made through the federal cabinet.
He propped up his body and sat up straight, still looking at Mo Zhi respectfully, but his tone became more than a little more serious:
"Master Imperial Master, how much loan do you want?"
Mo Zhi nodded: "At least 500 million gold yuan, the more the better. Let's see how big the opening you can open is."
This number immediately made the entire hall so quiet.
Cornes confirmed his suspicion
It is indeed a big deal.
This is not a simple loan, but a political game.
For commercial loans, the number would not be so large, and under the comprehensive federal laws, the risks would not be too high. However, such a large number as stated by Master Mo has exceeded the scope of commercial loans.
Cornes took a deep breath: "Master National Preceptor, who is the subject of the loan? Is it you? Or the Southern Province?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Cornes immediately knew that he had made a mistake.
Grand Master Mo immediately caught his loophole and said with a smile: "Of course it's me! What's the deal with a loan from the Southern Province? The Southern Province is an organization under the leadership of the federation, how can it possibly borrow from the Central Bank!"
Cornes had to nod his head repeatedly: "You said it, you said it"
The southern provinces are indeed under the jurisdiction of the federation in terms of establishment, at least on the surface. However, the provincial councils of the provinces are themselves part of the federation and rely on federal financial allocations. Naturally, they do not have the right to borrow money from the central bank.
Cornes's mistake was that everyone already knew privately that the southern provinces were under the control of the Duke and had actually separated from the Federation, but he should not have broken this window.
Unpredictable was so busy that he chuckled and said, "Mr. Bull, as the head of our Federal Central Bank, you still need to be careful with your words."
Cornes Bull, who privately discussed that the southern provinces were not under federal jurisdiction, could not justify it no matter how hard he argued, nodded repeatedly, talked about this article with experience, and returned to the topic:
"So, since it is you, the Imperial Preceptor, who is taking the loan, and it is such a large amount, what collateral do you have?"
Mozhi calmly picked up the cigar on the table, seemingly without even looking at Cornes. After lighting it, he looked at the smoldering end of the cigar and said:
"I don't quite understand this. I am a national teacher and have never taken out a loan before. Hahaha, is a mortgage a necessary step?"
"Can't you just give me the money?"
Seeing his attitude as a big boss who wanted to "buy for zero dollars", Cornes just wanted to call the anti-crime office under the Federal Ministry of Public Security immediately. He immediately wiped his cold sweat and said: "Of course, although you are. Yes.
The Imperial Master, who is respected by the Federation, has the honorary title of Duke, but it must be done in accordance with the laws of the Federation."
"And you want to borrow such a large amount."
I can't make the decision at all, okay? Kones added in his mind.
Mo Zhi chuckled: "It has to be mortgaged, then I understand."
Cornes Bull breathed a sigh of relief.
Just follow the rules
Mo Zhi put the cigar on the table: "Mr. Bull, what kind of thing can be used as a mortgage? My national advisor has said it, but I don't quite understand."
"Is the title of National Preceptor okay? If so, I will use the title of National Preceptor of the Federation as collateral to get a loan of 500 million gold yuan!"
Cornes almost staggered.
Why didn’t you say you would use the Acting Head of State as a mortgage?! You are the Acting Head of State’s teacher. If you can use your teacher’s title as a mortgage, you can pledge your students to me.
Cornes's face suddenly turned red, all due to stress.
"This may not be possible, Sir National Preceptor, this is not possible. The title of National Preceptor is an honorary title awarded to you by the Federation. It is also a representative of the affection of the acting head of state for your master and disciple. This is not a valuable asset. Naturally. Naturally, it cannot be
Use it for trading."
"That's it." Mo Zhe sighed, thoughtfully: "In other words, the same is true for the Duke's seat."
"Alas, this Tan Nankai is just giving some worthless names to our national master, and has no actual use at all. You may say he is irritating or not."
How dare Cornes Bull accept this.
However, Imperial Master Mo Da suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Since we need actual assets, I think of what I have."
"Haha, look, can I pledge the personnel appointment rights of the Southern Province as a mortgage? If the national division cannot repay the loan by then, your federation will replace the Southern Province Provincial Council. Well, the personnel rights will belong to you.
"
"If you can lend me an additional five hundred million gold yuan, then I will also give you the jurisdiction of the southern provinces to your central bank, okay?"
Cornes felt like he was about to cry.
Isn’t this going around again?
In the end, we still have to use the Southern Province as collateral!
But what you said is that it is light, it is both personnel power and jurisdiction. In fact, you don’t mean the same thing. You just want to use the return of the southern provinces to the federation as collateral?!
How can I dare to find fault with you? You are the Duke of the South, what the heck, the southern province is yours, so of course you have the final say.
Cornes' heart was in turmoil, but he also knew that he couldn't talk nonsense at this time, so he immediately braced himself:
"Master Imperial Master, this matter is of great importance and it is no longer up to me to have the final say."
"I. I must report this to the federal cabinet, and the Acting Head of State and the cabinet members will make a personal decision."
"Subordinate, I hope your Majesty the Imperial Master will forgive me."
Unpredictable had already guessed his reaction, so he immediately pretended to be surprised and said: "It needs to be decided by the cabinet?!"
"You told me earlier. If we knew that it was the cabinet that had the final say, our national teacher would go directly to Nan Kai."
Nan Kai and Kones had ten thousand words stuck in their throats and could not speak out.
In the whole continent, you are the only one who dares to call the acting head of state "Classmate Nan Kai".
This is a major matter that only the cabinet has the final say! Sir, you should not come to the Federal Central Bank, you should go directly to your student!
We are just a federal state-owned bank and cannot handle the serious matter between your master and apprentice.
Executive Yuan.
Melinda Samantha got a call out of the blue.
"The interim cabinet meeting has been held. Chief of Staff, please go to the office immediately."
Extraordinary meeting? Did something big happen again? The cabinet meeting is the highest meeting to decide federal affairs. Generally, it is not held temporarily. However, during this period, temporary cabinet meetings were held many times, and they were basically for the southern trip.
Save. Melinda frowned and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
The person on the other end of the phone paused and spat out six words: "Federal emergency."
Melinda Samantha was stunned.
Federal state of emergency?
Then something really big happened.
Under normal circumstances, such as when a head of state is assassinated or a war breaks out, the Federation will declare a state of emergency. The current state of emergency is indeed puzzling.
Melinda knew she couldn't delay, so she said into the phone that she would be there soon, got up immediately, and walked through the long corridor again.
Pushing open the office door, Melinda found that everyone had arrived.
Prime Minister Clift Webster, Speaker Nie Xinghe, Grand Elder Qin Xiping, Xue Chang
Isn’t this Cornes Bull of the Central Bank? Why is he here?
Looking at his low eyebrows and restless look, could it be that something happened to him?!
This possibility is very high. Senior ministers have emergency communication channels with the acting head of state and do not need to go through the chief of staff. Therefore, something should have happened at the Central Bank.
But the current situation of the Federation is good. After Qin Nankai came to power, Pandora did not take any action. The Federation cannot be said to be calm, but at least it is relatively stable, especially in the economic field represented by the Central Bank.
Melinda, who was full of doubts, sat at the bottom of the table at the Prime Minister's signal.
Originally, the chief of staff was not a member of the cabinet and had no right to participate in cabinet meetings. However, due to her very good performance during this period, especially in the work of seducing Imperial Master Mo Da, the cabinet decided to allow him to participate in the meeting, but without the right to speak.
You can only record and listen from the side.
When Qin Nankai saw everyone gathered, he nodded to Cornes Bull with a gloomy expression.
"The specific situation is up to the governor."
Cornes Bull looked around nervously at the top leaders of the Federation and cleared his throat:
"Half an hour ago, Master Mo came to the Central Bank."
". A loan of 500 million gold yuan. He wants to use the title of National Master and he said that he can use the governance of the Southern Province as collateral."
Cornes quickly recounted what had just happened.
Melinda kept recording and writing, and her heart was gradually filled with horror.
"Prince Mo, did you go to the Federal Central Bank just now?"
"Yes." Unpredictable laughter sounded in her heart: "But don't be nervous. You don't need to cooperate in this matter. As long as the harp comes naturally, it will be fine."
Melinda nodded imperceptibly.
After Cornes Bull finished speaking, he looked at Qin Nankai with a stiff expression.
Qin Nankai exhaled: "Let me summarize it first."
"First, the Southern Province Provincial Council should be in poor financial condition. This has been confirmed, including the Chief of Staff, who also received a positive statement from National Master Mo."
"Second, that's why Mo Guoshi went to the Federal Central Bank to request a loan. There is a logical relationship between the two!"
"Hehehe"
With a chuckle, Qin Nankai patted the table: "The question is, how should we deal with it?"
"Unpredictable. It's just too much of a deception. Why should he go to the Federal Central Bank for a loan? According to President Cornes Bull's description. Unpredictable is simply coercion and outright robbery!"
"He actually said that he would use the title of National Master as a pledge. Is the title of National Master so worthless? Can it be thrown away at will? This is simply an insult to me! Do you understand? Everyone! This is humiliating me."
"What he means by that is that anyone can be a national teacher? Can anyone be the teacher of the current head of state?"
Qin Nankai became more and more excited as he spoke:
"The so-called loan is because the Southern Province Provincial Council, or the Southern Tribe, is going bankrupt. He actually thought of a loan and wanted to use his status as a national teacher to forcefully borrow money from the Central Bank. What kind of behavior is this? This
It's not robbery. What is it? He has no intention of paying back the money, okay!"
"The Southern Tribe has a hostile relationship with our Federation. He actually wants to get funds from our Federation to support the Southern Tribe and lose money. He can imagine it!"
"Furthermore, the Southern Province was originally the Southern Province of our federation, but it was forcibly separated by him. Now he wants to defraud us of funds. My Iron God, I have nothing to say."
Tan Nankai sat down angrily.
The venue was silent.
All the federal bosses seem to be thinking deeply.
Melinda Samantha understands more and more.
Sure enough, it was the prince who caused the trouble.
Qin Nankai was right on one point, but Mu Bo unexpectedly came up with such an unorthodox method.
The southern tribe originally had a cooperative relationship with the Federation on the surface, but on the inside, Qin Nankai was thinking about how to regain the south day and night.
Our southern tribe is short of money, and Prince Mo actually wants to go to the Federal Central Bank to buy money for zero dollars based on his status as a national advisor. This is simply a slap in the face of Qin Nankai.
It's like two sides are at war. One side says to the other side "Lend me some money", and the other side asks "What do you want to do?", and the answer is. "I want to use the money you loaned me to buy weapons, and then
Eliminate you as a creditor".
It seems a bit funny no matter from which angle you look at it.
Prime Minister Clift Webster saw no one speaking, so he had to break the deadlock again to support his son-in-law:
"Haha, Master Mo really went too far in this matter."
"How can anyone go to the Central Bank to apply for a large loan? This is simply unimaginable to us. Nan Kai is right about one thing, that is, Mo Guoshi is simply robbing. He uses money to support the finance of the southern province. It is unfair.
Is it to eliminate our federal creditor?"
"Yes." Several people agreed.
The Prime Minister nodded: "What's worth thinking about is that you'd better not underestimate the National Master. He must know that he can't get a loan from the Central Bank. No matter from any angle, it's impossible. This is obvious."
"But he still went, why? What message does the National Master want to send to us?"
"Or, what does this mean? Wait and see how we respond?"
"Yes!" Speaker Nie Xinghe agreed with his old friend:
