Chapter 314 Chapter 314: Iron Coin
The facts were exactly as Aslan expected. Although the exchange rate of the mark currency did not drop much, the exchange rate in the black market has stabilized at 3 to 1.
Many nobles began to purchase commodities from the Maxim Federation on a large scale.
Among them, the Royal Academy of Magic was the fiercest, and it directly started with millions of tons of grain, but the money was all taken out by the little emperor, which made the little emperor who had more money want to cry without tears.
Compared with others, Aslan is very Buddhist.
Because he still has nearly 200 million marks on hand, and he has even started to ask Winner to give a part to the Gorland rebels, so that they can harm foreign countries, such as large purchases of food and steel. As for the magic crystal, it is only a small amount. purchase.
Prices in Kyoto have skyrocketed in a short period of time, as have several surrounding countries. The number of caravans heading to Melox Province is increasing day by day, which stunned the confronting Ten-Party Alliance and the Cleveland Kingdom Army.
Looking at the two sides that have not started the war for a long time, Aslan came to the door again, this time more directly, with 20 million tons of grain and tens of millions of tons of iron ore reserves, the price exceeded 50 million marks.
This order scared Horns.
Aslan also asked Horns to give him an interest-free loan, which would be paid off in one year.
Of course Horns didn't allow it, but Aslan said it directly.
"Then I want to withdraw money and exchange it all for gold coins. During this period of time, the Mark coins that have been deposited one after another should reach 40 to 50 million!"
"Forty to fifty million! How is that possible?" Horns exclaimed.
Aslan shrugged and said: "Don't doubt, you said that you paid for the goods on delivery the first two times, so I didn't deduct the money I kept in the business, plus the 500,000 to 80 marks I deposited every day Don't wait, the money I owe you now will be paid directly in cash, and the rest will be exchanged into gold coins for me."
Aslan's knife was a bit fierce, forty to fifty million marks were converted into gold coins, and it was no exaggeration to say that it directly emptied most of the gold coin reserves of the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank.
"Your Excellency Aslan, did you do this on purpose?" Horns said through gritted teeth.
Aslan said very innocently: "You should know that I am a serious businessman, I will take a bite of any business that is beneficial to me, and for this business, your country will only make money and not lose money! The interest loan is only for one year."
Horns knew very well that this was Aslan's temptation, if he agreed.
I believe that it won't be long before those big families in Kyoto will learn from others, and with interest-free loans, coupled with the inflation during this period, Horns can guarantee that these nobles will definitely save the entire Maxim Federation in the Kingdom of Cleveland. All the supplies will be emptied, and the goods will be shipped slowly while taking advantage of inflation. If the exchange rate between gold coins and marks returns to normal, then the Maxim Federation's deployment in the Kingdom of Cleveland for so many years will become useless.
"Very good! Your Excellency Aslan, just wait, I'll send someone to count your savings and gold coins in the business immediately." Horns would definitely bleed a lot, take out half of the gold coins to send Aslan away, and at the same time To show the strength of the Maxim Federal Trading Company to the nobles of Kyoto.
Aslan nodded with a smile and waited in the VIP room.
Horns asked people to count Aslan's savings on the one hand, and on the other hand, asked people to move out the gold coins from the vault. For convenience, they directly took out the gold coin cash box that had just been shipped a few days ago, and some employees began to open the box to sort it out. Gold coins, the first row of gold coins is alright, tore off the red paper from the package, and poured the gold coins neatly into the wooden plate prepared in advance.
Each wooden plate has ten grooves, which can completely place gold coins inside. Each groove can hold 1,000 gold coins, and one plate is worth 10,000 gold coins.
After finishing the first row of gold coins, the staff took out the second row of gold coins.
Jesni is an old employee of the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, and he is very sensitive to the weight of money. He even has a stack of the latest Mark coins in his hand, and he can guess the amount of coins in his hand just by the weight.
When he took out the first roll of red paper gold coins, he was slightly taken aback. He felt that the weight was wrong, so he nodded slightly, and the feel was different.
But Jesney didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it is very normal for a roll of gold coins to occasionally have one or two more or one or two less.
He continued to reach out to take the second roll, and then he was surprised to find that this roll of gold coins also weighed the same. He quickly stretched out his hands and started to grab several rolls, his expression changed instantly.
Realizing that something was wrong, Jesney wanted to unwrap a roll of gold coins in his hand, when he heard the staff in charge of arranging the gold coins exclaim.
"Something happened to Director Jesney."
Jesney ran over with a roll of gold coins in each hand, and then saw a scene that shocked him.
All the gold coins originally wrapped in red paper turned into iron coins, not even copper coins.
Jesney quickly unwrapped the two rolls of gold coins in his hand, and they were also replaced with iron coins.
"Notify Manager Horns immediately." Jesney said decisively, and at the same time put it into the money vault, and began to open several other wooden boxes.
When Horns came in a hurry, he saw the extra iron coins and red paper on the table, his face changed slightly, and he rushed into the money bank.
As soon as he entered the money bank, he saw a scene that made him despair. Five or six wooden boxes were opened, and the red paper inside was violently torn apart. The upper layer was gold coins, and the lower layer was all gray iron coins.
"What the hell happened?" Horns yelled.
Jessney came out of the money bank, and said with a frightened expression: "Manager! All the gold coins have been swapped. Except for the upper layer of gold coins, the bottom layer is all gold coins. All the gold coins transported this time are like this. As long as the money bank There is no problem with the gold coins originally saved in the bank.”
Horns turned his head abruptly, looking at Vallon who was staying behind in the capital.
"what happened?"
Vallon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just in charge of escorting, inspection is not my responsibility."
Vallon knew very well that this matter had a great impact, so he would not take the blame. As long as he gritted his teeth and was in charge of the escort, and hadn't checked the wooden box for problems, then the matter could not be blamed on him.
In fact, this is also the case, but Vallon's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Do you remember what I said? There are ghosts in the business."
Horns went to check the mark coins with a livid face. Fortunately, the mark coins were not lost.
"Your Excellency Valloon, it seems that we are both going to be in trouble this time."
Horns said almost with a sad face.
Valloon also looked sad, because both of them knew very well how serious the punishment for embezzlement and embezzlement of the firm's property was by Maxim Federal Commercial Bank.
