Chapter 2749 100-Year Treasury Bond
"Snatch, seize the young master?"
Hannibal asked in disbelief, his eyes widened.
"What's the fuss about? 100 years! Isn't it just a slightly longer time? What's the big deal?" Solomon said disdainfully.
Hannibal's mouth twitched: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Only a fool would buy a 100-year treasury bond!!!
Whether the hegemony will still exist by then is anyone's guess!"
"You could have just robbed them, but you gave them a 100-year bond. Why bother? Just rob them!"
The reason why these allied countries are willing to buy the bonds of the hegemonic country is simply because of its strong economy and abundant military virtues.
Even so, you have to give those higher-ups some reason to buy.
For 10-year, 20-year, or even 30-year bonds, people like Hannibal can grit their teeth and persuade their allies to buy them.
After all, 30 years later, the top leaders of these allied countries will have retired, and they won’t have to deal with any mess, so they can save face.
But a 100-year bond…
Even an idiot knows this is a swindle!!! It is a blatant robbery!!!
Solomon said seriously: "Since we are allies, then when the hegemonic country is in trouble, we should spend more money to provide security and stability for the hegemonic country!
Letting them buy 100-year government bonds is a very good idea. It can greatly ease the debt pressure of the hegemonic country. "
Hannibal's mouth twitched and he said, "Okay, then answer a few of my questions.
A 100-year Treasury bond means that investors have to hold it for as long as a century and cannot earn any income through trading during this period. How can you make investors believe that these bonds will make a profit after 1 years?
Under your proposal, these 100-year Treasury bonds may be non-tradable zero-coupon bonds, meaning that investors cannot buy and sell them on the secondary market. How do you make them believe that these bonds will be liquid in 100 years?
Finally, if the allies are in urgent need of cash and ask the hegemony to help redeem this part of the bonds, will you help or not? If you don’t help, it will directly tell the world that the hegemony has no credibility and the bonds are waste paper, then the debt problem will directly explode!!!"
Solomon shrugged: "It's good that they are short of money. The Federal Reserve can temporarily provide them with funds through a loan mechanism.
In this way, they will have to help maintain the value of the hegemonic currency."
Hannibal: "You issue bonds with your left hand and print money with your right hand. Are you thinking of going to the sky by stepping on your right foot with your left foot? If you can really do this, what is the purpose of the foundation?"
Solomon: "Okay, then, I'll let you take over as the person in charge for a day.
Tell me, how can the debt problem be solved in a short time?
If you can think of a more effective and faster method than mine, I will give way immediately!!!"
Hannibal: "..."
The recent debt problems of the hegemonic countries are indeed very terrible.
From the beginning of this year to now, in 6 months, the debt of the hegemonic country has increased from 15 trillion hegemonic currency to 18 trillion, and the speed is still increasing. It is expected that it will reach 22 trillion by the end of the year!
With such a terrible debt growth rate, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again, once again pushing up the level of US debt.
According to Hannibal's calculations, the interest alone will be as high as 8820 billion Hegemony Dollars by the end of this year!!!
This is just interest!!!
Once the interest cannot be paid, it will definitely cause countless countries to sell off US debt!
By then, the hegemonic country’s economy will completely collapse, and the hegemonic country’s currency system will also fall apart!
Solomon's "gold card" and "100-year government bonds" sound like fantasy.
But when you think about it carefully, it is indeed a helpless solution.
Apart from these methods that can resolve the debt in a short period of time, the only thing left is to start the S3 season.
Seeing that Hannibal was silent, Solomon snorted coldly: "Everyone can raise questions. The key is how to solve the problem!"
"Gold cards, and 100-year bonds, who's for and who's against?"
Everyone present was silent.
Even though they knew that these two moves were extremely absurd, they also wanted to recover quickly and resolve the economic crisis, so they had no way of objecting.
“Okay, since no one objects, then everyone go back and set your own KPIs and divide up the tasks.
Everyone has an idea of how many gold cards and government bonds to sell.
That's it, the meeting is over! "
……
……
the other side.
Sunset Empire International Airport.
The airport was completely blocked today.
The Sunset Royal Family's royal motorcade was lined up in five rows at the airport.
The royal guard even rehearsed for a week in advance for this purpose, and the ceremony was even grander than when Lucian visited the Sunset Empire!
The moment Chen Mo got off the plane, the royal guard played cheerful and joyful BGM.
Princess Aisha, wearing a light blue dress, walked to the front, half-knelt in front of Chen Mo, and kissed his left hand: "Welcome Godfather to the Sunset Empire."
Chen Mo nodded calmly, helped Princess Aisha up, and held her hand as they walked towards the extended royal limousine.
Chen Mo has become accustomed to this kind of scene and even feels a little disgusted.
"Don't make such a big fuss next time. I just find it noisy." Chen Mo said.
"Yes."
Although she said yes, Princess Elsa didn't agree.
As a princess, she would definitely not give Chen Mo less respect and courtesy.
It’s other people’s business if they don’t care about you. It’s your own business whether you are sincere or not.
However, He Chaoling, who was sitting in another car, was very excited by the scene!
She really likes this kind of vanity!
Luxury cars, luxury houses, luxury jewelry, how can these things give people a sense of superiority in status?
"If it was me who married Chen Mo, wouldn't I be the godmother?
The godmother of the royal princess! This is an honor that cannot be bought with any amount of money!"
When He Chaoling thought of this, she was fascinated.
At this time, Chen Mo asked with concern: "How is the industrial layout in Sunset Empire in the past two years?"
Princess Aisha smiled and said, "Thanks to you, the pillar industry of the Sunset Empire - the financial industry has been monopolized by me.
Last year, I made 1000 billion Sunset Coins in profit alone.
In addition, I have also made industrial layouts in art, aerospace, chemical industry, medicine and tourism, and the results are also good. "
At this point, Princess Elsa proudly raised her huge conscience: "If we only consider my personal assets, I am already the richest person in the Sunset Empire! This is all thanks to your help, Godfather."
Chen Mo shook his head: "If you don't have that ability, no matter how much I help you, you can't become the richest man."
Aisha looked at Chen Mo and suddenly said with emotion: "I feel very lucky to be able to come back alive from Paradise Island. Who would have thought that I would be able to join the Hongmeng Society and worship you as my godfather, and finally become the richest man in the Sunset Empire?"
Chen Mo looked at Princess Aisha's noble and charming face and smiled faintly: "Are you satisfied with just being the richest man?"
Princess Elsa trembled: "What do you mean?"
Chen Mo looked at the sky outside the car window: "No matter how dazzling the stars are, they are just one star. Even if the bright sun sets, it can still illuminate the entire starry sky."
"Aisha, you have to reach the top step by step to be truly qualified to stand at the top of the world."
