The most glorious era for Shanxi merchants and Rothschild was when the imperial court was in decline and the imperial court needed merchants for capital circulation.
When Eastern Rome was defeated by the Ottomans, a large number of assets belonging to the emperor were handed over to the Rothschild family for management. This was the foundation for their family's rapid rise.
When the Qing Dynasty failed, Cixi had to live in the properties of Shanxi merchants when she fled west. A large amount of silver and gold in the Qing Dynasty was stored in the silver accounts of Shanxi merchants.
The greater the chaos, the greater the opportunities for financiers.
"After the chaos, the imperial court lost control over commodity prices, and the prices of materials could skyrocket. In this way, futures could be sold based on materials, and stocks could be speculated. A batch of grain could make money several times, and the east wall could be demolished to repair the west wall.
, even if it is a lie, no one will care about it. Troubled times are the era of big financial players." Dulan said that in troubled times, financial games are crazy, and the fields previously controlled by the court have become out of control, and the court needs someone to take care of these things.
Field makes money for yourself.
This was the case in both Eastern Rome and the Qing Dynasty. A large number of industries were handed over to merchants. When the new imperial court was established, Shanxi merchants and the Rothschild family were no longer so prosperous.
Dulan believed that the empress could cooperate with the navy to establish a channel.
"Now the financial system of the imperial court is about to end, but everyone still needs finance and trade, so the opportunity of Daughter Island has come. Everything that the world government used to manage can be handed over to you. You control prices, you control resources, and you can play with it.
You can make a lot of gold and silver by playing the game of passing the drum and passing the flowers." Du Lan said: "Then it won't be too late to cooperate with Ace. When you have financial channels, you will have more bargaining chips."
After listening to this, the empress completely understood that Duran wanted them to be opportunistic: "Although we do love money, we cannot have a bottom line."
"If you don't do it, others will naturally do it. When the time comes, those who have a bottom line will lose to those who have no bottom line. You can build financial channels first and then improve them."
"Do you think everything will be fine with improvements? If everything can be improved, the navy will not decline." The empress said.
"Primitive accumulation is always bloody, but after initial accumulation, you can benefit society and pretend to be a civilized person." Dulan said with a smile: "I still strongly recommend you do this. Troubled times are a good time to make a lot of money. Don't
Missed it.”
The empress stopped talking and watched Du Lan leave.
After returning, she discussed with others whether she should do this.
"Do it, why not do it? Although Dulan is not a good person, his vision is very vicious. Since he said so, it is indeed a good opportunity."
"I also support it. Judging from the current intelligence, there are indeed many people who need a backup platform. No one knows when the World Government will be finished. They need a backup plan. Daughter Island can completely become everyone's backup plan.
If we don’t make this money, others will make it too. It’s better if we make it, at least we can make the right choices in the future.”
The empress was not so optimistic, but seeing that everyone wanted to make money, it was difficult to say anything, so she finally chose to agree.
As a result, Nine Snake Bank began to frequently contact various countries, build platforms, and began rapid expansion.
The world government is no longer powerful, and everyone has to find a way out for themselves. They used to meet in the world government to discuss the distribution of trade, but now everyone is worried that the world government will suddenly disappear.
The world government is gone, history will continue, life must go on, and business cannot be stopped. Everyone has replaced Bailey with land, so the food grown on the land must be sold at a good price, and the food grown on the land must be exchanged for what they need.
Goods and produced goods must continue to be exchanged, so they need a platform.
Nine Snake Bank appeared at the right time, combining businessmen from various countries to form a huge network.
A lot of trade no longer goes through the world government, but goes directly through banks. This causes the world government to be hit again. Coupled with Bailey's growing unpopularity, the world government decides to raise interest rates.
Raising interest rates is actually borrowing money at high interest rates.
Originally, if one hundred dollars had one dollar of interest, everyone would send the money to the World Government. Now, if one hundred dollars has ten dollars of interest, everyone is willing to send the money.
If interest rates are not raised, they would rather go to Nine Snake Bank, even if the interest rate from Nine Snake Bank is only one yuan.
But everyone knows that raising interest rates cannot last forever. I have never heard of anyone getting rich through loan sharking.
"This is too much!" Wu Laoxing was very angry.
"Pirates are just enemies, but Nine Snake Bank wants to dig into our foundation!"
"Nine Snake Bank is more harmful than Ace. Ace has no credibility and the nobles don't trust them. But Nine Snake Bank has built trust in a short period of time and has become the new choice of the nobles. How dare these bastards
It's unforgivable to have two boats."
Wulaoxing did not expect that the nobles would need a plan B, and Nine Snakes Bank quickly replaced many of the court's tasks.
"Don't be angry, now even we need the platform of Nine Snake Bank, and a lot of our family's business comes from Nine Snake Bank." Wulaoxing was angry on the surface, but the business behind the scenes is also indispensable to Nine Snake Bank.
.
To protect the World Government, or to protect the Five Old Stars' own family? Then it must be public and private. When trying to turn the tide for the World Government, it will not affect the family's handing over their property to Nine Snake Bank for profit.
Ace has no credibility. Although it is developing very fast, the nobles will worry that Ace will rob their wealth. Only those desperate people will believe in Ace and support Ace, because they have nothing in the first place.
, we need to wait for Ace to develop together.
The nobles have already mastered a large amount of resources, so they naturally do not trust Cao Cao. In their view, Cao Cao will rob their wealth at any time.
But Nine Snake Bank is different. They are here to help nobles make money, so they quickly gained trust.
This is why Wulaoxing thinks that Nine Snakes Bank is more dangerous than Ace, because the nobles believe in the bank and not Ace. But who makes them unable to handle it? At this time, they can only accept the reality. After all, Wulaoxing
A plan B is also needed.
Now everyone is worried that Bailey will become useless paper and that the world government will collapse. Although it will not happen immediately, when it does happen, it will be too late to find a preparation platform.
The preparation platform must have been prepared in advance, and it can be used immediately when it is used, with seamless connection.
It's useless for Wulaoxing to be angry. Who makes the world government weak and unable to control the situation?
"First retreat from the four seas, and then retreat from the first half of the Grand Route. We have no retreat." Wulaoxing said angrily.
"Akainu's efficiency is too low. As long as the pirates are eliminated, the situation will definitely improve."
"Not only the pirates, but also Garp and Ryu, the father and son, should also be eliminated. Robin, Ace, and the Yonko should all be eliminated."
This feels like the Monster King in "Journey to the West" asked the little demon to kill Sun Wukong. Akainu is only one person. How can he defeat so many enemies?
If he could fight it, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
"The navy is too weak, and the plot has no sense of urgency." Dulan said: "At this time, Wang Lufei still needs to inject some exciting elements."
Although Wang Lufei's new navy has been growing, there are too few masters. The fruits are too expensive, the domineering force is too difficult to train, and the technology is too conspicuous, so Wang Lufei is also considering how to improve its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Wang Lufei is so strong because his training efficiency is ten times that of others, but others are not. Although the new navy is working hard, it is still slow to improve.
"We have to find a way." Wang Lufei knew that the new navy also needed strength: "Although many troops can be incited to rebel now, the strong are respected on the sea. No matter how many soldiers there are, one overlord's domineering force will be enough to clear them all. The masters are the main combat power.
But it's hard to train masters." He thought hard and didn't know how to improve his combat power.
After thinking about it, it seems that artificial fruits are indeed a good idea. Training Haki is too slow, or artificial fruits can form combat power faster.
At the same time, domineering must also be practiced, and both hands must be grasped hard.
