A few days later, the largest auction in Kyoto was held as scheduled. Aslan spent a lot of money in Kyoto during this period, so he naturally received an invitation from the auction house.
Along with the invitation came the auction list.
Aslan just scanned it once, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"If you're really sleepy, bring me a pillow."
Aslan said enthusiastically.
He was also worried that he would not find a reason to sponsor the Royal Academy of Magic, but now it seemed that the opportunity had come.
During this period, Nomeli went out early and came back late every day. She specifically visited the homes of officials and nobles from the faction that supported the regent, those small and medium-sized families that did not have mentor-level experts in charge.
After exchanging fake Mark coins for real Mark coins, Nomeli had washed away one-third of the Mark coins for several consecutive nights.
Aslan planned to make a bigger move with the remaining marks, which was to exchange them in the underground black market.
Exchange it into gold coins at a ratio of 1:1.05.
Regardless of the fact that it is only an increase of 1.05, for aristocrats whose family savings can easily reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, this exchange is worth hundreds or even thousands of gold coins.
As for worrying that these circulating Mark coins are fake, it is simply impossible. Even if you take the money to the professional banknote examiners of Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, it is impossible to tell that it is fake.
Because in the past few days, Nomeli pretended to be an adventurer from out of town, opened an account at Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, and deposited several hundred marks. During the storage period, Nomeli had even made plans to break out of the siege. As a result,
But there was no response at all. The staff was very polite and helped him open an account.
Nomeli also watched their entire process of storing Mark coins, and then he understood it completely.
After they were completely sure that the coin was correct, they put the money away without checking the code on it. In fact, even if they had looked at the code, they might not be able to tell the authenticity of the coin.
After all, the mark coins printed by Aslan can no longer be described as fake, but are completely genuine coins, even if the codes on them are different. That's why Aslan dared to play this trick, and at the same time secretly let out the news that the Kyoto Commercial Bank was rebuilt.
That is, the royal family is preparing to withdraw gold on a large scale as reserves.
After all, no matter how strong the mark is, it is only printed on paper. Once there is an economic crisis, it will easily lead to a large-scale collapse. In the past, when such problems occurred, the Maxim Federation would call in a large amount of gold from all over the mainland to suppress the storm.
.
Therefore, if the Kyoto Trading Company wanted to be completely established, it naturally needed gold reserves.
After all, the predecessor of Kyoto Trading Company suffered a lot of losses like this.
Inside the Kyoto branch office of Maxim Federal Commercial Bank.
Governor Reinkes was very decisive and ordered to tighten the gold pocket and increase the exchange rate for gold coins, which was 0.01 higher than the exchange rate given by Aslan.
For a moment, Aslan was really outclassed. In fact, when the other party got wind of it, Aslan had already exchanged the remaining two million Mark coins, and the rest could only wait for the arrival of the next batch of Mark coins.
, and after Yitzhak received the news, his expression tightened, and after discussing with the young emperor Shani, he also joined the fight for the gold standard.
In this war without smoke, in just one week, the exchange rate between gold coins and mark coins in the province of Cleveland, where Kyoto is located, has reached 1.08.
In the end, the regent also joined the little emperor's camp, and then gathered the power of the entire Kyoto aristocracy to barely push back the Maxim Federal Trading Company.
Of course, the regent's help will not be in vain. Once the Kyoto Trading Company is established, the regent will receive 40% of the shares, the little emperor 40%, and the Royal Academy of Magic 20%.
The nobles of the regent faction are very aware of the huge benefits contained in the trading company, or they will not think so far, but they can see how many gold coins are stored in the bank's treasury. With the support of these gold coins, they can pacify ten
The alliance is only a matter of time.
In the end, the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank in Kyoto ended in defeat, but it also allowed the gold coin reserves in the palace to reach hundreds of millions of gold coins. After getting the news from Yitzhak, Aslan shook his head helplessly. In the end, he was just
If you don't want to be cut off as a small player in this financial crisis, you must make money honestly next.
The Tianping Chamber of Commerce opened. Aslan deliberately dared to open two days before the opening of the Kyoto Commercial Bank. He was afraid that the Kyoto Commercial Bank would steal the limelight. After all, it was a game between the entire Kyoto aristocracy and the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank.
Although Maxim Federal Commercial Bank has not taken any action now, the fact that Maxim Federal Commercial Bank's fleet is entering and exiting Kyoto on a large scale is enough to prove that they are secretly accumulating strength and preparing to launch a thunderous attack before the opening of Kyoto Commercial Bank.
So on the day the Tianping Chamber of Commerce opened, business was booming beyond imagination. Then Aslan sadly discovered that he had flowed out a large amount of Mark coins and returned them directly to himself.
The popularity of this day was noticed by all the nobles in Kyoto. Although the Tianping Chamber of Commerce only sells women's products, bras and stockings are its flagship products. Various styles of women's clothing are also popular products, among which the best-selling products are
But it is an epoch-making product like sanitary napkins.
The hardcover version costs ten silver coins per pack, with a beautiful rose pattern printed on it and an advertising slogan printed on it.
"It will give you unexpected tenderness and sweetness!"
It turned out to be a hit product, with hundreds of thousands of packs sold in just one day, leaving Aslan stunned.
He witnessed with his own eyes that after a noble lady used it, she decisively brought the women of the family over to scan the goods. Each of them took at least ten packs in one breath. After one person was frantically scanning the goods, others followed suit.
, as a result, there is a situation where demand exceeds supply.
In the end, Aslan was forced to apologize in person because it was out of stock.
"I'm really sorry. It was my mistake this time. I originally thought that these things would be enough for the entire Kyoto circle for a while, but I didn't expect that everyone would be so enthusiastic. In a few days, new goods will be replenished. I would like to express my gratitude to you here.
Madam promises that there will not be any shortages again, and also advises everyone that there is no need to stock up on goods, and you can buy them after they are used up." Aslan said earnestly, and several ladies actually offered to purchase at high prices, but Aslan was rejected by
Lan refused one by one.
When this thing first came out, everyone would rush to buy it. When the number increased, everyone understood. After all, that thing can't be used every day.
The popularity of the Tianping Chamber of Commerce has made many nobles in Kyoto very enthusiastic, and some people have even begun to prepare to imitate it. Anyway, the sanitary napkin manufacturing process does not seem difficult, and among them is Alonso's small team.
