Chapter 10: Borrowing Money III

Chapter 10: Borrowing Money III

Wilhelm tapped his fingers gently on the table, looked at an envelope placed in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

The envelope contained forty bank notes, each of 5 million, for a full 200 million U.S. dollars.

This is a real huge sum of money. If calculated according to the inflation rate, the 200 million US dollars will be equivalent to nearly 3 billion US dollars in 2020!

Although he got this huge sum of money, Wilhelm was still a little depressed, after all, this was far from the 500 million he planned. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

What to do? It must be impossible for William II to spend any more money. Where can he find another 300 million to collect?

It was impossible for Wilhelm to tell William II about the financial crisis that broke out in the United States at the end of 1929. If it were to be said, maybe William II would treat him as a paranoid, not only claiming the 200 million US dollars back, but also sending him to a Mental hospital! !

You must know that the treatment of mental illness in the German medical community during this period was insulin injections.

That's right, it is the insulin injected by later generations for diabetes.

Insulin, discovered in 1922, I am afraid I never dreamed that it would be used as a treatment for mental illness.

After giving high doses of insulin, mentally ill patients usually become quiet and fall into a coma. Isn't this just a simple hypoglycemic shock? But in the eyes of the German doctor Manfred Schack who invented this treatment, this means that the symptoms of psychosis have disappeared! (Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder). This treatment was even used by the most respected academic institutions in the United States, and it was used until the 1950s.

Wilhelm didn't want him to be put into a psychiatric hospital and receive treatment with a mortality rate of only 10%.

Only use two hundred million to operate? But he is really unwilling to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he manages properly in this financial crisis, he can definitely get back two or three times the profit. In other words, if he doesn't make up the remaining 300 million, it will be a waste or loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in steady profits.

That's hundreds of millions of dollars! Not a few dozen! With these hundreds of millions of dollars, many of his plans can be implemented much easier.

And if I miss this opportunity, for the next financial crisis I will have to wait for at least half a century. And If the history changes because of him, then only god knows when it will happen again.

No matter what method you use, you have to make up to 500 million!!

Thinking about this Wilhelm felt he could only find his best friends now.

Wilhelm replied casually. "1 million."

Bowen thought for a while and nodded. "It seems very good. But I don't have that much money. I have to go back and ask my dad for it."

His last words seemed to wake up everyone, nodding their heads.

Back home, Bowen happened to see his father sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper, and he couldn't wait to ask. "Dad, is there money in our family?"

Old Bowen simply replied without raising his head. "No."

"Oh." Bowen grabbed and ate the biscuits on the coffee table.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see his son's answer, which made Old Bowen a little curious. "Why are you asking this? No money to spend?"

Bowen was chewing cookies in his mouth and said vaguely. "It's nothing, Wilhelm called us over just now and wanted to borrow some money."

His Royal Highness wants to borrow money? This is new, Old Bowen put down the newspaper in his hand and asked. "How much does he want to borrow?"

"At least ten million dollars."

Ten million dollars? Old Bowen couldn't help taking a breath. "What does he want so much money for?" He knows his son's virtues very well. His son and his friends, including the current emperor, are nothing more than 'spending money on weekends'. But after the last incident, he didn't know what His excellency Wilhelm wanted to do. Last time he bought several companies that were about to go bankrupt, and this time borrowing 10 million US dollars?

Bowen shook his head blankly. "I don't know, Wilhelm didn't say it. But he said that the money will be paid back in early 1930, with a 10% profit."

Old Bowen pondered for a while and asked. "When does his Highness want it?"

"Recently."

Old Bowen nodded. "I see, you go in and sleep."

"Oh, good night, Dad."

When Bowen returned to his bedroom, Old Bowen picked up the cigar on the coffee table and fell into deep thought after lighting it.
