"Forget it if you don't know, I'm just asking casually."
After carefully looking at Fiona's expression, the fourth princess realized that her words did not seem to be fake. The girl really did not know the Duke's movements.
In other words, the Duke had no intention of telling her his actions in the first place.
"However, Fiona, on the way here, I saw many things in your territory that are different from other cities in the empire. Can you tell me how you manage your territory?"
Qiao Qiao ended the question with a sweet smile, and Osvia once again guided the topic to what she was interested in.
"Oh, you are talking about those magical constructs, Osvia. I bought those from my fourth brother Anvis's construct factory. He gave me a discount, so they are very cost-effective to use!"
When this was mentioned, Fiona suddenly became interested.
"The people from other places are also very interesting. They have come up with some very novel terms, such as stocks, futures, residual value, etc. There are always some interesting things in some of the stores they open.
There are also some strangers who want to give me the 'stock' they issued, but I usually let my... Adjutant Boli handle these matters."
"Can you elaborate on the terms you used for these strangers? Fiona,"
With a flicker of her eyes, Osvia asked enthusiastically for specific information about people from a foreign land. She had really not paid much attention to the detailed exchanges between these people from a foreign land before.
"Well, Adjutant Boli, please give me a detailed introduction."
Turning her head slightly, Fiona gestured to Anvis. She actually didn't know much about these things. When it came to specific details, she was worried that she would not be thorough enough.
"As you command, Lord."
Nodding slightly, Anvis turned his eyes to the fourth princess and others.
"Dear Princess, next, I will try to explain these terms as concisely as possible.
Stocks represent a collection of ownership, voting rights and voice rights of a power.
Assuming that the owner of a power issues 10,000 shares and sells them to others, then by purchasing and holding 100 of the shares, one can obtain 1% of the rights and income of the power.
If someone holds more than 5,000 stocks, then he can completely control the development direction of this force, but others can also receive profits in proportion.
And futures are..."
"I think I understand. It's indeed a very smart thing to do."
Listening to Anvis's introduction, the fourth princess couldn't help but raise her beautiful eyebrows. With her eighth-level thinking speed, she almost immediately analyzed the advantages of these modes.
Simply speaking, issuing stocks is equivalent to recruiting a group of allies in advance, allowing a force to quickly obtain a batch of resources in the early stage to develop and grow. And handing some of these stocks to the strong is equivalent to naming them in advance.
As for futures and the like, they also have their own ingenuity. As for the so-called residual value, the fourth princess did not pay too much attention to it, but she felt that this term summarized it very incisively.
In fact, similar things have appeared in history among people from foreign lands.
One advantage of playing finance in the world of Yunivar is that there is no [Securities Regulatory Commission] and there is no financial law. No matter what tricks you do, it does not violate the law.
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, the life safety of financial geniuses cannot be guaranteed. If the impact of what you do is too great, it is likely to be predicted by the prophet in advance, and then there will be big bosses coming directly along the network cable.
Press you to death.
Therefore, it’s not that no one studies finance, but it’s just that it doesn’t make much sense. It’s easy for those who don’t have the ability to get into trouble, but those who have the ability don’t need to bother.
Until the appearance of people from a foreign land——
The chaotic nature of people belonging to foreign lands makes it difficult for prophets to predict. The ability of foreigners to be resurrected and reincarnated makes them not afraid of the threat of death.
Thinking of this, the fourth princess suddenly realized that if these strangers were allowed to continue like this, it seemed that there might be some changes in the rules of the empire's game.
"As for the behavior of these strangers, Sir Boli just let them go without thinking of any way to restrain them?"
After thinking about it, Osvia pointed out the problem directly.
“These models all have hidden dangers, such as stock issuers deceiving buyers by deceiving, making false accounts, or not acknowledging the sale after sale.
Or futures sellers may use other people's materials as materials, create counterfeit tickets, and actually have no physical goods, etc. These are likely to cause unrest in the territorial security."
"They have a very friendly attitude towards the Star Territory, and they also support Lord Fiona's rule. Your Highness, we will not treat any of our friends harshly because of things that have not happened yet."
Anvis smiled slightly and looked around at him.
Of course he is aware of the possible problems here, but this is the result of his deliberate indulgence.
Because the social situation in the Yaer continent is different, it is impossible to completely copy Blue Star's set. Therefore, the players in the Star Territory are a large-scale social experiment by Avis, cultivating a set of financial game models suitable for this world.
And after a mature model is found, it can be implemented with the other two empires.
He had previously arranged for the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce to send some players to the Holy Mecia Empire, not just to travel there.
Since Fiona is the lord, the main line is to develop the territory. When it comes to development, the feudal production method before the empire has lagged behind.
Let’s not talk about moving directly into socialism, let’s at least move halfway towards it——
Seeing Anvis's attitude, the fourth princess's blue eyes glanced back and forth between Anvis and Fiona. She seemed to vaguely grasp something in her heart and couldn't help but remain silent.
Now, she no longer doubts that the girl in front of her is the prophesied Howling Crystal Bird Star.
The wisdom hidden under her simple appearance seems to be more profound and terrifying than she expected!
"...By the way, you should have heard about it, Osvia. Through my own special channels, I have obtained many special resources from the deep dream world and sold them to the outside world as specialties of the Star Territory.
I also arranged for Mr. Boli to handle the specific matters, but the most precious resources are only open to individuals and forces that are friendly to the Star Territory to purchase a certain share."
Watching the two of them fall into silence after the conversation, Fiona thought for a while and took the initiative to change the topic.
Osvia felt very friendly to her and had no ill intentions. Anvis had also said before that it was best to have a good relationship with her, so the girl decided to take the initiative to give the princess some benefits.
"Do you need some special resources? I can provide you with some at a discounted price."
"Oh~? Since little Fiona can specifically propose it, then show me the resource list!"
The fourth princess also knew that there was no need to continue to dwell on the previous topic. When Fiona took the initiative to speak, she took the initiative.
However, when she saw the resource list, she couldn't help but fell silent again.
The resource at the top of the list, [Reverse Time Crystal Egg], is one of the main materials for the secret ritual that she has been secretly searching for to increase the success rate of breaking through to the ninth level.
Although she is the princess of the empire, this does not mean that she can mobilize treasury resources at will, and the people of the eldest prince's faction will not sit back and watch this happen.
