In the 1920s and 1930s, the international banking group was controlled by the Rothschild family.

Although compared with before World War I, after serious damage to World War I, many consortiums directly and indirectly controlled by the Rothschild family took the opportunity to set up their own businesses, resulting in the Rothschild family being much worse than before. However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse after all, and the financial resources of the Rothschild family still influence the world economic structure and political direction.

Zhang Meng knew very well that the huge power of this family was about to break out, and it was impossible for them to not smell the danger, and it was even more impossible for them to act without any action.

The Tang Empire was just established, and as Tang Yuan’s only issuing bank, Datang Bank would naturally be targeted by international bank groups. According to convention, newly issued currencies would be purchased, hoarded, hyped on a large scale by bank groups of various countries, and then seeking the intermediate price difference.

When these bank groups purchased Tang Yuan on a large scale, Zhang Meng quickly established contact with them through Datang Bank and exchanged the US dollars and pounds he needed through transactions. In order to join the international bank group, Zhang Meng had to take out fifty tons of gold to mortgage in exchange for their trust in Datang Bank and Tang Yuan.

Of course, Zhang Meng knew very well that this group of bank groups who were sucking people and not spitting out bones wanted to squeeze out the fifty tons of gold from Datang Bank.

The international banking group did not know Zhang Meng's real purpose. They were blinded by the immediate interests, so they happily accepted the franchise of Datang Bank. Zhang Meng's purpose was also achieved. He could enter the US stock market and financial market openly under the banner of the international banking group.

Obviously, the international banking group is happy to see Datang Bank inject funds into the US stock market and financial industry because they all want to see Datang Bank trapped or even go bankrupt so that they can swallow the fifty tons of gold.

The international banking group was not kind, so Zhang Meng only laughed at them as weasels to wish the tiger a New Year, and they would cry at that time.

The main purpose of Datang Bank joining the International Banking Group Alliance is to use a large amount of currencies from various countries reserved by the international banking group to borrow 100 million US dollars from the international banking group to invest in fifty large US stock markets in the United States through fifty tons of gold as collateral.

Zhang Meng actually didn't need this money. He mainly used this loan to block the international community's suspicion about the huge amount of funds in his hands.

Zhang Meng's hard currency worth $1.1 billion and international loans worth $100 million are planned to complete the printing of 3 billion Tang Yuan before the US stock market reaches its highest point. Currently, the printing factory starts construction for 24 hours and continuously prints banknotes. More than 20 million Tang Yuan passes through the books of Datang Bank every day and then quietly flows into the US stock market and financial markets through major banks established in the United States through international bank groups.

In order to cover up the capital chain of Datang Bank, Zhang Meng specially hired more than 200 international financial operators and traders. After the international settlement operations of fifteen major foreign currencies in more than 500 banks, he used multiple re-name transactions to cover up international audio-visual, making it impossible for people to query the source of Datang Bank's funds, and they all thought it was a loan from an international bank group.

In August 1929, the risk of the bursting of the US bubble economy was very high. During this period, Americans earned less than 2,000 US dollars per year, and 80% of the country's automobiles, housing, and small and medium-sized companies rely on bank loans to complete their operations. In fact, the US presidential think tank has a considerable understanding and advised President Hoover to immediately cool the stock market and curb the economic growth model dominated by real estate. But Hoover just took office and in order to fulfill his promise during his campaign, he could not stop the US economy at this time. Previous governments owed huge foreign debts to banks through stimulus measures such as real estate and automobiles. If it stopped, the government would immediately close. The money-short Hoover government not only could not stop the US economy, but also had to continue to stimulate real estate land purchases and car consumption to make money to fill the government's foreign debt holes.

As a result, by August, the fourth wave of a new round of economic growth, mainly real estate, and 8 million urban commercial housing units were approved by the government to start construction. The US stock market thus ushered in a fourth round of soaring.

Zhang Meng took advantage of this round of US stock market surge and used his huge amount of money to buy US stocks, intending to make huge profits in the last round of surges before the US stock market crash.

By September 1, Datang Bank had injected 2.3 billion Tangyuan into the US market through various channels, of which the amount injected using American underground banks was as high as 1.2 billion Tangyuan.

In the presidential suite of the Morgan Hotel in New York, Zhang Meng was drinking grape wine and enjoying Xiao Zhao's gentle massage while listening to Zhang Wei and Zhang Zhong's work reports.

"I knew that Tang Yuan should have issued a face-to-face price of 10,000 yuan!"

Zhang Meng planned to invest 3 billion Tang Yuan, but the printing factory ran for two months and broke one-third of the machinery and equipment. The new equipment could not arrive and put into production. In the end, only 2.3 billion Tang Yuan was printed before the arrival of the prescribed date of Zhang Meng.

Looking at Zhang Meng's face full of enjoyment, Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Let's sell the stocks quickly!"

After seeing Zhang Wei's wink, Zhang Zhong next to him immediately said, "Yes, your highness, we have made a lot of money, hurry up and stop! If the stock falls, even if it falls a little bit, we will lose a lot of money!"

Since Zhang Meng started printing money on a large scale to invest in the US stock market, Zhang Wei, Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhong and others were worried all day long, fearing that the astronomical money would be wasted all at once.

Since Zhang Xinhai experienced the storm of the Shanghai stock market, he almost lost money back then, and he still has lingering fears until today. Therefore, Zhang Wei, who knew the details, reminded Zhang Meng that he did not tell the old man about this, which aggravated the worries of Zhang Fu and Zhang Zhong, who were servants of the Zhang family.

Zhang Fu is old and has been worried over the past few months and finally can't hold on to the bed. Zhang Zhong just gritted his teeth and did not have enough money to deal with it. Fortunately, he was young and he received hell-style training and strong physical fitness, otherwise he would have been scared.

"It's almost done, the Dow Jones stock index will rise to its highest point tomorrow, so sell all the stocks we have in our hands immediately after the opening morning."

Hearing Zhang Meng relaxed, Zhang Wei patted his carelessness and finally breathed a sigh of relief. These days, Zhang Meng was so worried that he had died of worry. He looked at Zhang Zhong, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Seeing the two of them looking scared, Zhang Meng secretly asked in his heart that this was just the beginning, and the real big head was still behind.

Zhang Meng knew that the Dow Jones stock index would reach its highest point of 363 on September 3, so he was fearless.

Zhang Wei immediately called the bank representative offices of the international bank group she was responsible for, and ordered the persistent personnel to immediately throw away all the stocks in their hands and cash out, and transfer the funds back to Datang Bank through the international bank group channel. Zhang Zhong was responsible for the transaction of underground banks, and transferred all the stocks through major underground banks. After cashing out, the funds were transferred back to Datang Bank New York Branch through the underground bank channel.

Early in the morning of September 3, the New York Stock Exchange was unprecedentedly busy, with trading volume exceeding 16 million shares on that day. People still believe that the bull market in the United States will continue. They continue to bet on stock appreciation, and there are even considerable businessmen who buy stocks at an expected price of 365 points.

You should know that the average price of the Dow Jones Index is one hundred dollars per point. It is equivalent to spending two hundred dollars per share if you buy stocks at a price of two hundred dollars. There are actually many merchants who are willing to spend more money. More than one-third of the stocks in Zhang Meng’s hands are sold at this price.

Zhang Meng was shocked and sighed, shocked by the crazyness of the stock market, and sighed that these desperate gamblers would soon lose all their money and jump off the building.

At the close of the day, all the shares held by Datang Bank directly and indirectly were sold out, cashing out a total of US$3.29618 billion, making a profit of nearly US$1 billion.

"It would be great if I bought stocks earlier, I only made 1 billion!"

Zhang Wei and Zhang Zhong no longer know what to use to describe Zhang Meng at this moment.

A snake swallows an elephant in a lack of heart?

No! If the snake is big enough, the elephant can also swallow it!

Is this what money makes money?

Yes!

Zhang Meng told Zhang Wei this before, but Zhang Wei didn't believe it at all. Now she has finally seen what it means to make money.

Looking at Zhang Mengyou's contentment, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel dazed, feeling deeply moved: Zhang Meng, who is like, Zhang Meng, why can't I see through you now?

"Your Highness, will you immediately exchange it for gold and silver and transport it back to your country?"

Zhang Meng had previously told Zhang Zhong that when they returned to China, most of the money they earned would be exchanged for gold and other hard freight to be transported back to China as a gold reserve for the Tang Empire.

Zhang Wei was also thinking this way, but the answer she was waiting for was unexpected.

"No! This is just the beginning!"

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, revealing a half-white teeth.
