Chapter 264 The Northland Crisis(1/2)
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Amidst the chaos, a voice from the ‘resistance zone’ of Qixia Country attracted a lot of attention:
Dayang Group acquired the Industrial and Commercial Administration of Qixia Kingdom, and all the war bonds issued by the Administration were transferred to Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao, President of Dayang Group, made a public speech: All debts will be borne by one person. Regardless of whether the original purchaser of the bonds has left the country of Qixia, Dayang Group will recognize its bonds.
But there is a small addition to Zhang Hao's speech: Since it is difficult for people to check after leaving the country of Qixia, and the road is uneven, Dayang Group only recognizes bonds but not people. Only bonds within the country of Qixia must be exchanged in person; or
They are immediate relatives.
This one is a bit harsh. Only recognize the bond but not the person - who cares where you got the bond or how much blood was stained on it.
In the end, Zhang Hao even wanted to put out the list of people who had purchased bonds; but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it. If he did, it would be a bit of a hindrance to his plan.
It is enough to declare that "we only recognize bonds but not people". If we also publish the list, it will be too offensive - it is even more disgusting than defaulting on debts.
What Zhang Hao is worried about is not the dislike of others, but the impact on his own honor and credibility. If you want to establish a bank, the most important thing is the invisible wealth of honor and reputation. This invisible wealth is very precious, but it is also very fragile.
It will be destroyed if you are careful and it will be difficult to recover.
For this reason, Zhang Hao had to act cautiously.
Moreover, not all the families in the occupied areas have defected to the Kingdom of Jinyang. It would be very chilling if the list was posted.
In fact, for Zhang Hao and Dayang Group, there are not many external bonds from the Industrial and Commercial Administration. Back then, Dayang Group purchased about two million bonds for elixirs. Including artillery, black iron, etc., it was almost three
Looks like a million.
Of the remaining 1.5 million, at least 500,000 to 600,000 remain in the current 'resistance zone'; the rest remain in the 'occupied zone', between approximately 800,000 and 900,000.
.
These bonds are not a big deal to the current Dayang Group. Moreover, the bonds have a term of at least one year. After one year, it will be drizzle.
In the subsequent war, the bonds might flow back to Zhang Hao through war means.
In addition, the trading hall built for bonds and shares has also been officially completed. On the edge of Fangshi, Dayang Group built a magnificent building to serve as a trading center for stocks and bonds.
There are not many stocks traded here at the moment, and they only support internal trading, that is, those of Dayang Group, the Weapon Refining Guild, and Xuantie Factory. The stock price is quite high, already two or three times the initial price, but it is still
Very few people put it up for sale. There were a few hot-headed people who sold it and regretted it.
There are also bonds. Currently, the only bonds are those previously issued by the Industrial and Commercial Administration. If someone wants to sell the bonds in advance, they can also trade here. But those who trade in advance will obviously not get the profits they deserve from the bonds.
Fortunately, under Zhang Hao's strong guidance, the trading prices of the bonds sold here are all above the face value. Zhang Hao does not allow the bond price to fall below the face value. This is to lay the foundation for the bank's reputation in the future.
Although others don't quite understand Zhang Hao's actions, they also support them. Over such a long time, Zhang Hao has won respect. At least under Zhang Hao's guidance, despite the war-torn environment of the entire Qixia Country, Dayang Group was able to still
Gain profits and grow.
The outside world has also paid a lot of attention to Dayang Group and Zhang Hao. Dayang Group, a private business group, can actually acquire a department of a country and bear all the debts of a department, but it has also caused great repercussions.
Can things still work like this?
However, when everyone was paying attention to this, Zhang Hao was frowning - the name 'Bank' is probably not suitable for the world of spiritual practice. Zhang Hao tried to observe from the perspective of the world of spiritual practice, and found that the name 'Bank' had a bit of a vulgar feel.
.
Silver is as good as pure gold.
The word "bank" may not be as popular as the word "bank" in this world.
"What name should this world's bank have?" Zhang Hao turned over a page of documents boredly. The documents contained intelligence information about the occupied areas. After all, Zhang Hao now concurrently serves as the Minister of Commerce, so he still has to pay attention to it.
National politics.
But to be honest, Zhang Hao is really not interested in things like national politics. In Zhang Hao’s view, the reason why the country has so many problems is: the disease of poverty!
In fact, a country is like a tree. As long as it can keep growing, there will be no big problems. Once it stops growing or even goes backwards, there will be many problems.
But Liu Xinyu also had some tricks, and she took this opportunity to "squeeze out" the dross from the country. The current Qixia Country is like a curled up lobster, detoxifying and shedding its shell.
"Patents, business law, taxation, subsidies, support... and reconstruction work, industrial and commercial guidance and stimulus plans... Oh..." Zhang Hao rubbed his brows and hadn't slept in for several days. This life is really not what a person should live.
ah.
Zhang Hao was still having a headache when he heard a knock on the door and Xu Jie came in. He wanted to discuss patent law with Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao still has some opinions about Xu Jie. This guy is really a bit... ruthless.
For example, now, during the discussion of patent laws, this guy kept looking at Zhang Hao with suspicion: Are some of these laws selfish? I heard that Dayang Group is like this...
The discussion lasted until noon. Zhang Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore and drove the bastard out by slamming the table. But Xu Jie smiled and said, "Brother Shi, don't be upset. We Legalists have legal responsibilities. Although we have a good personal relationship, the country
When it comes to issues, one is one and two is two.”
"What does one plus two equal?"
"three."
"Look, this one is not one, and the second is not two anymore." Zhang Hao returned to the first round and walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Xu Jie shook his head with a smile and stepped out of the house to report the progress to Liu Xinyu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at Liu Xinyu's side, he saw that many people had gathered, and everyone looked a little serious. Zhang Hao, who was enjoying himself just now, also looked serious.
dignified.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jie was confused and asked the nearest Zhang Hao.
"I don't know either. Everyone seems very serious, so I'll be serious too."
"..."
When Liu Xinyu saw Xu Jie arriving, she smiled and said: "Okay, everyone is here. This time it's a problem with the Zhoushan country in the north."
Liu Xinyu explained that when the Kingdom of Jinyang launched a brazen attack on the Kingdom of Qixia, the Kingdom of Yanyun in the north also launched an attack on the Kingdom of Zhoushan.
The Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Yanyun are considered to be the two most powerful countries in the six Western countries. These two countries are even more colluding, preparing to carve up the other four countries in the West, one in the south and the other in the north.
The goal of the Kingdom of Jinyang is: the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Danyang; while the goal of the Kingdom of Yanyun is the Kingdom of Zhongshan and the Kingdom of Zhoushan.
Among these countries, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Yanyun is unique. Its dragon-horse cavalry can even fly through the air. It is extremely powerful.
However, the countries of Zhongshan and Zhoushan in the north also have some background.
First of all, compared to the Kingdom of Jinyang, which had been planning for decades, the Kingdom of Yanyun can be said to be more hasty. The decision was made by the Kingdom of Yanyun only after the Kingdom of Jinyang communicated with it.
Therefore, when the Kingdom of Jinyang corrupted the Kingdom of Danyang and the Kingdom of Qixia through various means over a period of fifty or sixty years, the Kingdom of Yanyun was not prepared.
After Liu Xinyu introduced this, Zhang Hao interjected: "In other words, the Kingdom of Jinyang is facing the weak Kingdom of Danyang and the Kingdom of Qixia.
As for the goal of the Kingdom of Yanyun, the Kingdom of Zhoushan and the Kingdom of Zhongshan have complete military strength. This is a head-to-head battle. Therefore, the Kingdom of Yanyun has a very difficult fight? Or even loses both sides?
I think the Kingdom of Jinyang must have such a plan:
After I clean up the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Danyang, the three northern kingdoms have become a mess and are extremely weak. I, the Kingdom of Jinyang, may take the opportunity to unify the west!
I even think that the plan of the Kingdom of Jinyang is probably to completely destroy us and the Kingdom of Danyang within three or two months, and then use a few months to consolidate its rule.
While the Kingdom of Jinyang was being consolidated, the north was still at war, consuming and weakening each other.
After a few months, or a year or two, the Kingdom of Jinyang will be able to mobilize all the troops of the Three Kingdoms and pacify the chaotic north in one fell swoop."
Liu Xinyu nodded affirmatively: "Yes! I also agree with your conjecture, and the possibility is as high as 90%. It must be admitted that the plan of the Kingdom of Jinyang is a plan.
But despite all the calculations, the Kingdom of Jinyang never expected to hit a wall here.
After fighting so far, not only have they failed to capture us, but due to the large deployment of troops, it seems that the Danyang Kingdom has also begun to fight back.
We have obtained a rough figure for the losses of the Jinyang Kingdom's army in front of Guangling City: in that explosion, the Jinyang Kingdom may have lost 170,000 real elites, more than 6,000 Jindan-stage soldiers, and at least 200
Nascent Soul stage!
Those 170,000 elites are all capable of withstanding artillery fire, they are true elites.
Coupled with the previous losses, the Kingdom of Jinyang has lost a total of more than 700,000 legions on our side, more than 10,000 Jindan stage soldiers, and at least 330 Nascent Soul stage soldiers!"
Wu Fanghai said: "But the Kingdom of Jinyang has also absorbed the 30,000 excess sins of the Jiuyang Sect, and also absorbed many families here. These can almost supplement a lot of masters.
The Jiuyang Sect alone can replenish more than 7,000 golden elixir stages and more than 200 yuan of infants.
The situation is not optimistic for us.”
Liu Xinyu nodded, "Yes, we are not optimistic. The reason why we called everyone together this time is because the country of Zhoushan in the north cannot stop us.
The fighting power of the Kingdom of Yanyun far exceeds the plans of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and also exceeds our imagination. For so many years, the Kingdom of Yanyun has always had hidden power.
We considered the number of masters in the Yanyun Kingdom, but we forgot and ignored: Their mounts... are also capable! And the hidden power of the Yanyun Kingdom is right under our noses, but we don't have it.
Discover.
According to the news from the north, a cavalryman at the peak of the Golden Core, coupled with a mount at the peak of the Golden Core, can attack and kill an early Nascent Soul head-on!"
Zhang Hao and others were immediately in an uproar.
Wu Fanghai took a deep breath, "Then, let me make a summary.
The Kingdom of Jinyang has been planning for decades to unify the west, but they made serious miscalculations. One did not expect that our side would suddenly rise. The other did not expect that the Kingdom of Yanyun would be so powerful.
The Kingdom of Yanyun may have also understood the plot of the Kingdom of Jinyang, but they ignored it. They directly displayed their most powerful cavalry and swept across the Kingdom of Zhoushan with overwhelming force."
"That's right!" Liu Xinyu nodded, "And now the imperial capital of Zhoushan Kingdom is already crumbling. Unlike us, once the imperial capital of Zhoushan Kingdom falls, the whole country will completely lose its power to resist!
At that time, we in the north will face the cavalry of the Kingdom of Yanyun.
I'm worried that the Kingdom of Yanyun and the Kingdom of Zhoushan will launch an siege on us!
