Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Four: No Desires

"Mr. Schroeder, please save this country!"

Schroeder Bray was stunned and laughed: "Have you learned how to ask for help? Well, I will help you. After all, this country also has my share of hard work. But don't expect me to make you a world hegemon. You

You must know that I only understand economics and nothing else."

Qingyi stood up and said: "I understand this. You have a profound understanding of finance and economics. It is really a waste of talent to just be a businessman."

(He was still holding Anigir in his arms, and Anigir stretched out his little hand towards the businessman: "Uncle, uncle!")

"Give me a top hat? You might as well give me two boxes of gold!" Schroeder put on airs: "Let me start with the first point: as a king, you must have a certain knowledge of economics."

"Of course I have that," Qingyi said. He graduated from Harvard Business School. How could he not have knowledge of economics? It's just that business management is more focused on management.

"Okay, then we can talk more deeply. First of all, you have to think clearly about why countries allow the Twilight Empire to become a sovereign state?"

"Because you lost to the funeral fungus, you want to temporarily compromise with us?"

"This is only part of the reason, and the other part is to make the Twilight Empire a prop to attract hot money. Did you find out? When the Twilight Empire became a sovereign state, Snow White City became popular, and it was so popular that it was inexplicable! Many people still

Saying "The Twilight Empire is a sleeping dragon" creates an investment trend targeting Snow City, and at the same time gives you the illusion that the Twilight Empire is a country full of gold."

"Next, I desperately advocated the "necromancer threat theory", and then let Seruwei invade the border, stimulate international conflicts, create a trend that various countries are about to go to war, and induce you to upgrade your armaments. At that time, you immediately pinned your hopes on

It’s all about “broken silver”, right? In this way, most of the Twilight Empire’s resources will be invested in the military industry.”

"The military industry is not profitable. No matter how many weapons are manufactured, they will all be used by the military and cannot be converted into actual profits. The soul energy and raw materials consumed to produce military supplies are not a small amount. Not to mention soul energy,

Where do the raw materials come from? There are no large ore veins in the Twilight Empire, and the ore must be imported from abroad! Where does the money for imported ore come from? Have you ever thought about it? It is manufacturing, the most humble but basic industry!"

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, have you ever read the Twilight Empire's national strength report?"

Qingyi nodded and said, "Yes."

When looking at the national strength report.

"The manufacturing industry is pretty good, but it's basically state-owned."

Handicraft workshops and alchemy laboratories are the leading economic growth points in the Twilight Empire. All income is state-owned, and only one share is owned. They are considered monopolies. The same goes for the construction industry centered on the drawing room. This economic model cannot be said to be good or bad at present.

, but if we expect the undead creatures to consciously invest and compete, we have to wait a thousand years, so we can only continue to monopolize the manufacturing industry.

"Manufacturing drives the economy of the entire Twilight Empire. Exports alone can bring millions in profits every year, so other countries must attack your manufacturing industry. Big Bow can't force you not to produce profitable goods.

, but it can tempt you to produce unprofitable goods - when you think you can make money. So, "broken silver" becomes a victim. Big Bow and you sign a seemingly lucrative trade.

The contract just wants you to produce "broken silver" endlessly and then be defeated by it. It's very successful, isn't it? The handicraft workshop has been reduced to a military workshop, manufacturing industry, haha, the leading industry you are most proud of.

It's dragging down your economy."

After Schroeder finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing and wiped his tears, which really felt like rubbing salt on the wound. He finally stopped laughing and still had more to say: "But that's nothing! What's interesting is that

, Dear Your Majesty, you are red-eyed for profit and do not hesitate to raise large amounts of money internationally! Your losses are certain, but you still keep throwing money in and watching the gold coins slowly sink into the endless abyss - you

You know? That’s a sunk cost!”

"And do you know that behind those moneylenders are mainland countries! Now you owe them money, and you owe them not one or two gold coins, but ten or twenty million! Can you still afford the money?

You can't afford it! Because your manufacturing industry is finished and your military products cannot be sold - so you are bankrupt!"

Qingyi remained silent.

"After you go bankrupt, your credit rating will fall to the bottom. You will be no different from a non-sovereign country. You might as well not have become a sovereign country in the first place! I remember that you also issued a lot of national debt. When the deadline is up, if you can't repay the money, you will be

Thousands of people reviled you! In the past, if you killed one or two pregnant women, it was nothing to do with the general public, and it didn’t matter; but now you are infringing on the interests of many investors, and you will attract more scolding, both from the aborigines and the

Adventurers will all scold you with the same hatred! However, this is just the beginning. You must come up with land, resources, and repay the debt at a discount. In the process, anyone with a brain will come to take advantage of you, and no one will be generous.

Forgive your debts!"

Schroeder laughed and gloated: "You didn't know anything, so you dragged the poor Sara Monroe Kingdom down! Because of you, Sara Monroe, as the guarantor, must also bear the debt! In the next few decades

In the coming years, the Twilight Empire and Sara Monroe will be cheap slaves for the entire continent!"

Qingyi took the words calmly: "Is this Big Bower's plan?"

"Yes, when they sent the envoy to submit the contract, they had already seen today." When Schroeder said this, his tone was a little strange: ""Chess players" can always see the future, but you can't.

Speaking of which, your situation is very bad. The Twilight Empire has bankrupt credit, is heavily in debt, and has a broken capital chain. It is simply hopeless. "A penny can kill a hero." This is an old saying from the East. I find it very interesting.

.Money, money! No matter how great a person is, there are embarrassing moments when he cannot afford money. Even though he curses money, he cannot live without it!"

He turned his head and looked at Qingyi's face.

Qingyi remained in human form, with a very calm face, but Schroeder knew that this was the kind of calm where grief is greater than the death of one's heart, and the kind of calm where one calmly chooses a tragic ending after being cornered.

So Schroeder put away his smile and said: "But you can't collapse. Even if it goes bankrupt, the Twilight Empire will be constrained at most, but it will never fall because you have the World Tree. Do you see it? This tree

The World Tree rooted in the underworld is your greatest wealth, it provides endless soul fire."

Qingyi followed the businessman's finger and looked at the huge trees that illuminated the whole city, just like looking up at the sun.

"Other countries will go bankrupt, there will be no business in any store, and everyone will be unemployed. The citizens who are too poor to take the blame will eventually be forced to riot and rebel due to hunger, but the undead creatures will not, because you are different from humans, you do not need

Food! If it were any other country, it would have been disintegrated due to turmoil and would no longer be a sovereign state!"

"What should I do next?" Qingyi asked.

"What should we do? Open up the domestic market, lift trade barriers, and allow those high-quality and cheap foreign goods to impact the Twilight Empire's manufacturing industry with zero tariffs. Then the Twilight Empire will become a dumping market for other countries! At the same time, every one of your subjects must

I work day and night just to help you reduce your debt as much as possible. Stay through it for ten years, and you will be freed from your status as a slave and servant and become a free man. You have to thank your people. If

They are all living people, so you will have to spend a longer time."

Qingyi frowned: "Ten years? It's too long."

As if Schroeder had expected that he would say this, he took out a contract with a smile: "This is our new contract. If you agree to hand over all the proceeds to me, I can help you shorten the contract."

Debt repayment time.”

"You also have a share in this country. You watched it grow from scratch, and you can be said to be half of its father. You don't want the Twilight Empire to become a vassal of others, right?" Qingyi looked at Schroeder's eyes softly but hardly: "

I know that the Dragon Clan is the proudest and will never give up its collection to anyone else."

"You're right, no one can snatch something from the dragon." Schroeder puffed out smoke, and a few sparks burst out from the smoke. A faint [Dragon Power] emanated from him, making Anigir

He cried loudly. He glared at Anigir impatiently: "Tell this little thing to stop crying! It sounds so annoying!"

Qingyi patted the baby's back, and after a moment, gently calmed the baby down.

Schroeder had already turned his attention away from Anigir. He smiled confidently at Qingyi: "As your biggest creditor, although I will not let others take away the Twilight Empire, this does not mean that I

You must help it selflessly. Well, even if you don't agree to the new contract, I must help you share the debt. But what about Sarah Monroe?"

Qingyi snorted.

Schroeder's eyes were even more proud: "The Salamoneros are not undead creatures, but real human beings. They are implicated by you and have to bear huge debts. If I don't take action, no one can save them.

If you insist on rejecting the new contract, Sarah Monroe, who is fundamentally unstable, will definitely fall apart. Even if someone can barely maintain the situation, I will go over and add fuel to the fire. Ah, Sarah Monroe has nothing to do with you anyway.

Right? You are a bloodless and tearless skeletal tyrant, you don’t care at all about the rise and fall of the human empire--"

Qingyi shook his head and said: "It really has nothing to do with me. Where is the contract? I'll sign it."

Schroeder couldn't help but laugh, patted Qingyi's shoulder hard, and made Anigiel cry again: "There is a saying in the East, "Only those who do not have sex will be strong." You care about too many people, and you are burdened with

There are too many responsibilities, so if you have weaknesses, others will take advantage of you! As your financial advisor, this is the first piece of advice I provide, hahaha!"
