311 Chapter 311: Smashing
After Aslan came out, he didn't go back to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce immediately, but ostentatiously settled in the restaurant opposite the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, monitoring the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank without any cover.
In fact, almost all the people in the entire restaurant today are nobles and businessmen from the capital, and they are all nervously concerned about the situation of gold coins and marks.
This restaurant was completely purchased by Aslan, and it gradually became the most popular restaurant on this street.
Nowadays, restaurants are not only booming in business, but they also hang a few large blackboards in the center, on which are written the current exchange price between gold coins and marks, and the time is attached behind it.
Just by looking at it, everyone can understand that this time is updated every half hour.
As expected, the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank took action. Instead of releasing a large amount of gold coins immediately, it gave many preferential policies such as low interest rates for borrowing nobles and merchants, and at the same time guaranteed that the repayment was entirely based on Mark coins. The price of gold coins and mark coins dropped to 1.2 to 1, which made many nobles in the restaurant breathe a sigh of relief.
Aslan looked at the policies of Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, smiled and shook his head.
Soon, the Kyoto Commercial Bank also let go of the national policy. In the future, all taxes will be paid in gold coins. If they want to pay taxes in marks, they must increase the value-added tax, which invisibly lowers the price of marks.
The two sides continue to use various policies and plans to lower each other's prices. The two sides have not directly fought with real swords and guns, and are still in their own trials. However, the purchase price on the black market also changes step by step according to the plans of both parties.
Aslan asks Veletta to contact Cu Chulainn.
"Let's start the plan! Smash the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank into a daze."
Veretta nodded and quickly turned to leave.
Nuomiri sat quietly on the side, cutting steak for Aslan.
There was a big change in the black market, and someone exchanged marks at a price of 2:1.
The exchange rate on the big blackboard in the restaurant was quickly changed to 2:1. Suddenly, the nobleman and businessman became restless, and many minor nobles and businessmen rushed directly into Maxim Federal Trading Company.
Aslan also slowly squeezed into the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, and directly waited for Horns' arrival in the VIP room.
After a while, Horns wiped the sweat from his forehead and came in cursing.
"That guy in the black market must be crazy. If the price of mark coins is dropped, not only the Kyoto firm, but the entire Cleveland province's economy will also collapse."
What Horns said was actually for Aslan.
Aslan smiled slightly at this. Of course he knew the truth, but he still wanted to do it for the simple reason that he wanted to destroy the Maxim Federal Firm in the Kingdom of Cleveland at once.
In the economic collapse of the entire Cleveland province, the biggest trouble is inflation, and the biggest losses are mainly from the nobles and wealthy businessmen. After all, it is almost impossible for the people who can save in the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank to be civilians, of course, adventurers are not counted.
Once these people's trust in Maxim Federal Commercial Bank collapses, it will be difficult for Maxim Federal Commercial Bank to continue to absorb savings.
Not only in the Kyoto area, but also across the country. After all, nobles used to have a tradition of hiding gold coins. Now, instead of depreciating in Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, it is better to keep them at home to look at ease.
As for the consequences of inflation, it was not a matter for Aslan to consider. It was a matter for the little emperor and the regent to consider.
"I just want to exchange for gold coins and put them away. I feel that gold coins are more reassuring than mark coins." Aslan said with a slight smile.
Of course Horns knew this truth. After all, Mark coins were essentially printed on paper, and they were consumed entirely on the credit of the Maxim Federation.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, please rest assured that even if the mark currency in Kyoto depreciates, you can use it in other regions, and I assure you that I can help you purchase a large amount of various materials, as long as you pay with mark currency." Horns gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh!" Aslan suddenly became interested. It seems that Maxim Federal Commercial Bank really took pains to keep depositors.
"Is it really all right?" Aslan asked.
"Except for some strategic materials?" Horns said hastily.
Aslan nodded in understanding, picked up the pen on the table and began to write, and then handed the list to Horns, who just glanced at it, his eyes staring involuntarily.
The supplies inside were not valuables, but ordinary large-ticket commodities, but the quantity Aslan purchased was a bit large.
The amount of grain is often millions of tons, which is measured in tens of thousands of catties for most places. Isn’t this amount too exaggerated? This amount of grain is enough to feed five or six million people for a year.
There are 100,000 tons of steel ingots. Why does this Aslan need so much steel? Even if the rebels make weapons, they won't need so much!
"Your Excellency the Marquis, do you purchase too much?" Horns said, swallowing his saliva.
Aslan smiled and shook his head.
"To tell you the truth, my Melo region really doesn't produce food. It depends entirely on industry and commerce. Therefore, I have to purchase a large amount of food reserves. As long as there are steel materials, you are very clear about the main business of my territory." Ah Silan said helplessly.
"But don't worry, if I can purchase these things, I will not use the money from Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, and trade directly with Mark coins, and I don't even mind going to Maxim Federal Commercial Bank once."
Aslan's words brightened Horns' eyes. His only consideration now was that Aslan had purchased too few supplies.
If Aslan deposits a large amount of marks in the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank in one go, it can greatly increase the confidence of other nobles and businessmen.
"Lord Marquis, please rest assured, I will arrange people to send the goods to the Melo area as soon as possible." Horns said decisively.
Aslan also smiled and shook hands with Horns to express his thanks.
It's just that Aslan just left Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, Aslan said to Veletta who just came back: "The exchange rate has been increased to 2.5 to 1."
Veletta nodded, turned and left again, and Nuomiri looked at Aslan suspiciously.
"Master, I don't quite understand!"
Aslan said with a smile: "Maxim Federation, as the largest commercial empire in Sino Continent, has large reserve warehouses all over the continent. It is no exaggeration to say that they have the power to control the prices of the entire continent. This time the financial After the storm, the entire Kingdom of Cleveland will enter inflation, and in order to make up for the loss this time, the Maxim Federation will definitely play tricks on prices.
