regret!

Will there be any medicine to regret when the time comes?

I don’t know if there is any medicine for regret in the world, but for Ali Khan, the great monarch of Hyderabad, he is now regretting it to death.

Indian troops are attacking!
It is just a day trip from Hyderabad.

They were welcomed by many Hindus along the way!

Mobs are attacking police stations, military barracks…

All the news put together means... there is no good news!

Faced with such a reality, Ali Khan was completely stunned. He summoned the British ambassador immediately. Although the British ambassador expressed sympathy, they could do nothing to help. After all, they were too far away to help. In other words, they condemned the situation. Then he immediately visited the ambassadors of the United States and the Soviet Union, and they also expressed sympathy, but that was all.

The last hope is the "messenger of justice" Nanyang.

"Your Highness, if you are willing to leave, our plane can take you and your family to Chang'an safely."

In response to Ali Khan's request for help, Wang Linzhe spoke politely.

As the Nanyang ambassador to Chang'an, he could only say that he was helpless. Only one day after the war started, the enemy's vanguard troops had arrived less than 80 kilometers away from Hyderabad. The fierceness of the offensive was far beyond the expectations of other countries.

Faced with such an offensive, we had no choice but to switch our aid online - via the telegraph line!

“Of course, there are also your properties. Now that our people have begun to evacuate, your properties can be temporarily stored in the Borneo Bank.”

Even as an ambassador, Wang Linzhe couldn't help but feel warm when he mentioned Ali Khan's property. You know, Ali Khan is the richest man in the world... Of course, no one knows how much property you have except him, because it is difficult to calculate.

But the whole world knows how much money Ali Khan has - this guy's fortune is over $50 billion!
In his vault, there are hundreds of tons of gold alone! In addition, there are a large number of rare treasures. When Elizabeth got married, he casually gave her a 185-carat diamond, which is definitely worth a lot of money. Later, when Elizabeth ascended the throne, Arihan gave her another valuable diamond necklace. Because Elizabeth II liked it very much, she appeared with this necklace on many important occasions.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that it's all over now

The online support could not last long. The most important thing was to bring this person and, of course, his property to Southeast Asia. As far as Wang Linzhe knew, Ali Khan was a person who was keen on "charity".

Forty-nine years ago, since he took the throne, he has been committed to the development of the princely state. Under his rule, Hyderabad was connected to electricity, and roads, railways and airports were built. Museums and universities were established, and a large number of schools were built. As long as the children of poor families go to school for free, free education has been realized. Because Osborne was so rich, he built public buildings vigorously. Almost all the public buildings in Hyderabad were built by Osborne, so he was also called "the architect of Hyderabad".

Nanyang is certainly welcome to such a person who is passionate about charity and has a huge amount of money.

As for the political considerations, those must definitely be taken into consideration!

"Is this all we can do?"

Ali Khan looked at the ambassador in front of him somewhat dazedly. Unlike the online support from other people, Nanyang at least prepared a plane for him.

"Didn't you help Hungary? Why can't you help me?"

Facing the question, Wang Linzhe thought for a moment and said:

"Your Highness, along the way I came here, there were thugs robbing everywhere."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it was reminding the other party - if he didn't leave now, it would be unknown whether he would be able to leave in the future.

Faced with the reminder, Ali Khan thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.

"Well... I have a lot of property. Can I transport it all?"

Facing doubts, Wang Linzhe said:
"Please rest assured, Nanyang's air force is still very advanced! Our air force participated in the Berlin Airlift!"

Participating in the "Berlin Airlift" was the highlight moment of the Nanyang transport aircraft unit. It not only won international reputation for Nanyang, but it was also that airlift that made the Germans in Nanyang truly identify with Nanyang and actively integrate into Nanyang.

"Mr. Ambassador, I still have a lot of fixed assets."

At this time, if you can take more away, you should always find a way to take it away. For Ali Han, the most important thing now is to keep his property so that he can live a good life in the future.

What makes people feel the most distressed is those fixed assets, which cannot be transported away. So holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Ali Han made a request. Facing this request, Wang Linzhe said directly. "Borneo Bank can connect with you, and you can negotiate on this issue."

Negotiate what?
Of course, they negotiated to transfer the fixed assets to the bank. Of course, the bank did not hold them directly, but held them through several shell companies. The fixed assets owned by this person were astonishing. If that wealth was transferred to Nanyang, it could even increase Nanyang’s GDP by several percentage points. What’s more, there were several princes and nobles!
This year, the wealth brought by these princes and nobles may significantly boost the growth of Nanyang’s GDP!

So, as the Indian army was advancing triumphantly, trucks carried gold, pounds, US dollars and various jewelry to the airport.

At the airport, more than a dozen C130 transport planes have parked there. The mercenaries guarding the airport and their families are preparing to evacuate. Prior to this, Nanyang’s diplomatic department issued a warning to India that if the Indian army attacks the airport and causes casualties among Nanyang citizens, Nanyang will take further action.

Faced with the warning, India's response was direct - focusing on bombing the Hyderabad army.

The massive evacuation was hardly affected, and in the midst of the chaos, more than 600 tons of gold, several hundred million dollars in cash, and a large amount of treasure were loaded onto the plane.

One after another, the transport planes of the Nanyang Air Force were helping small countries amidst the heavy gunfire, giving them a plane ticket when they needed it.

Two days later, when the Indian army entered the city to the welcome of the people of Hyderabad, the city was deserted.

At the same time, in more than a dozen banks in Nanyang, the bankers were all cheering loudly, and Sun Longyue, the general manager of Industrial Bank, was shouting excitedly.

"Changjie, look, look, a full $100 million!"

In the general manager's office, Sun Longyue pointed at the document and said to Wei Changjie:

"One hundred million dollars! These princes are much richer than Emperor Bao Dai..."

"Yes, Manager. Although Emperor Bao Dai is also a big client of our bank, he is nothing compared to those princes from India. More importantly, the bank has signed a property agency agreement with them. Through legal property transfer, these bank branches have obtained the princes' properties in their states and act as agents for their operations. They only charge 30% of the agency fee every year."

Wei Changjie's words made Sun Longyue laugh out loud.

"You just paid it back. That's 30%, not 3%. We just hold the shares on your behalf and we can get 30% of the agency fee for free. This is a continuous income! 30%, I really don't know how they negotiated it at that time!"

Even Sun Longyue, a banker, was frightened by such a huge demand.

"Manager, it's still uncertain whether we can get the 30%. If the Indians confiscate those properties, then we will be left with nothing. If we want to eat this piece of fat meat, we still have to rely on the country. This 30% is reasonable."

Wei Changjie's explanation made Sun Longyue nod in agreement and said:
"Indeed, without the intervention of the country, we will not be able to eat this piece of meat anyway. This... is really a war profit!"

Looking at the documents and thick contract in front of him, Sun Longyue said with emotion:

"Changjie, when you and I were young, we never thought that one day we would be able to make a fortune from war!"

Although this money seems to belong to the prince, the value of money lies in its liquidity. As long as he deposits it in Industrial Bank, the bank can invest the 100 million US dollars into the market. While it circulates in the market, it will not only bring huge profits to the bank, but will also further boost the economy of Nanyang. For Nanyang, this is definitely a good thing.

"That's not true. Back then, there was chaos and war, and we were in danger of losing our lives at any moment. It was God's blessing that we survived."

Sitting on the sofa, Wei Changjie lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said with emotion:

"But what about now? Look at Nanyang. If it weren't for the current strength of Nanyang, how could we have encountered such a windfall opportunity? It's just like a strong wind blowing in. I heard that several luxury houses in Chang'an are sold out. Those guys bought houses, at least a dozen, at most dozens, as if they didn't blink an eye. That's because some of their children are in the UK. Otherwise, our high-end apartments and luxury houses in Chang'an may not be enough for them to live in."

"As princes, they can't live like ordinary people. They are already low-key if they don't build a palace. Not to mention houses, I heard that several models of BMW luxury cars are sold out. The waiting list for the 600 Pullman model will last until next year."

While lamenting the wealth and luxury of the princes, Sun Longyue sighed again.

"It's a pity that there are only a few of them, and their demand for houses is limited. Otherwise, we could also consider the luxury housing market."

Although Nanyang's real estate market has always been dominated by commercial properties, the luxury housing market is still quite considerable. After all, the economic development in recent years has created many wealthy people.

The rich definitely have a demand for luxury homes. After all, not everyone is willing to live in an ordinary community, but their needs are limited. Therefore, there are only some high-end communities in Nanyang, and real luxury homes are basically blank because the demand is not high.

"Yeah, it's really a pity!"

Shaking his head, Wei Changjie looked at the manager and said.

"But no matter what, this gold rush from the South Asian subcontinent will definitely have an impact on the economy of Southeast Asia this year. This is billions of dollars of hot money!"
