Chapter 601 Crazy Gold Coins
After finalizing the affairs of the Four Seas Bank, the Shanhai League is more than half completed.
Next, is the cooperation among the various companies.
The focus of Ouyang Shuo's matchmaking was Baihua. The territories of the two have already bordered each other, and Gaia's three-year charter must be explained to each other.
It is Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal to incorporate Lingxi City into the Shanhai City system in a reasonable way.
For Bai Hua, there is actually not much choice.
Mulanyue's promotion to be the sheriff of Zhen'an County was the strongest signal that Ouyang Shuo sent out. If he integrated into Shanhai City, he would only achieve great things, and he would definitely not be buried.
In terms of power, the current Mulan Yue is no weaker than the Siege Lion and others.
Of course, all this will have to wait until the second half of the year before it can be concluded.
At the alliance meeting, Ouyang Shuo has informed all allies of Shanhai City's recuperation plan for the first half of the year and the upcoming grand voyage plan.
It also means that in the first half of Gaia's three years, Ouyang Shuo may not have time to take care of alliance affairs. For this point, Feng Prison Huang and others must have an accurate assessment.
Ouyang Shuo's subtext is that if they want to cause trouble, they must make sure that they can handle it alone without the support of Shanhai City. Otherwise, no one will come to the rescue.
The next day, good news came one after another.
Whether it was the invitation from Bai Hua and Xie Siyun, whether it was [Liuguang Pavilion], the master of the pavilion is old, or [Laojun Temple], the master Qingniu Daoist, they all responded positively.
The two were invited and came to Tianya Bieyuan as guests on the way.
In the afternoon of the same day, the matter of investing in the Universal Bank was finalized.
[Liuguang Pavilion] and [Laojun Temple] each contributed 600,000 gold coins and occupied 3% of the shares of the Four Seas Bank; at the same time, the two guilds will also shoulder the guarding duties of the Four Seas Bank in Quanzhou and Chengdu.
Ouyang Shuo struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of the gap between the alliance meeting to make a special trip to Xianyang.
The headquarters of [Scarlet Mercenary Corps] is in Xianyang.
Ouyang Shuo came to visit in person, even the largest guild in China did not dare to neglect. The strange thing is that Ouyang Shuo only stayed in [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] for less than two hours before leaving in a hurry.
When he left, he had already received one million gold coins as a share capital.
Bloody Romance does things with great vigor and decisiveness. Once a decision is made, it is not procrastinating.
The secret of Ouyang Shuo's persuading Bloody to be romantic is actually very simple.
In the last auction, the [Battle Blood] artifact set sold by Bloody Romance only consisted of armor and boots. It would be extremely difficult to collect a complete set.
Coincidentally, the player who obtained the core component of the [Battle Blood] suit in his previous life - the weapon [Red Blood Sword], posted his mission process on the forum.
Ouyang Shuo's return to Bloody Romance is exactly the mission clue of [Red Blood Sword].
This clue is invaluable to Bloody Romance, it is equivalent to a big favor from Ouyang Shuo. Although Bloody Romance has a bad temper, he is also a warm-blooded man with affection and righteousness.
Without saying a word, he agreed to Ouyang Shuo's request.
Just one thing, the neutral position of [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] will not change.
Ouyang Shuo didn't force it.
He believes that taking this as an opportunity, more cooperation can be launched between the two.
*************
Returning to the Tianya Bieyuan again, Ouyang Shuo informed Bai Xiaosheng of the financing plan of the Universal Bank, and used the [Daily Express] platform to spread the word.
After receiving such explosive news, Bai Xiaosheng was naturally extremely excited and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
The next alliance meeting is a complete vacation.
Those who have something to do, leave first.
Those who have nothing to do can stay until New Year's Eve.
Even speaking, Xie Siyun and the others already intended to celebrate the New Year directly in the Tianya Bieyuan. Anyway, the heads of their guilds don't need to hold any ceremony to sacrifice to the sky during the Chinese New Year.
Bai Xiaosheng got the most exciting news, so he bid farewell tactfully and left.
The next day, January 29th, a news item was published on the front page of [Daily Express].
Nine major guilds including [Shangxue Meigui], [Qingfeng Pavilion], and [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], and five territories including Lingxi City and Luofeng City, have all invested in the Four Seas Bank, and the Four Seas Bank is officially in operation.
The initial reserve fund is as large as six million gold coins.
As soon as the news came out, the world shook.
[Shanhai League], especially the reputation of Shanhai City, the generous cooperation of the nine top guilds, and the reserve fund of 6 million. The superposition of the three is unstoppable, which makes the players very at ease.
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of inquiries on the forum about when the Four Seas Bank would open.
Ouyang Shuo didn't keep the players waiting.
In fact, under the management of Meng Zhida, the branch of Four Seas Bank in Nine Kings City was already ready. As soon as the funds are in place, they can start directly.
Xie Siyun and other funders are also unequivocal.
On the 28th, the 6 million funds were all in place and deposited into the treasury of the headquarters of the Four Seas Bank.
Ouyang Shuo specially took a photo of the treasury and sent it to Bai Xiaosheng. In the press release, a mountain of gold coins was pushed, completely blinding the eyes of players in China.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo specifically ordered the city guards to strengthen the security of the treasury. He also couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be greedy in the face of such a huge amount of wealth.
On the afternoon of the 29th, all the Four Seas Banks in the Nine Kings Cities were unveiled and officially opened to the outside world. Guild leaders such as Jian Qi Lei Yin, Bloody Romance, etc., all appeared in the local Wangcheng, serving as the opening platform of the Universal Bank.
The venue was overcrowded and the event was unprecedented.
Players rushing to save money at the Four Seas Bank crowded the entire street to the brim.
Because the Jinwu Guard was still in the process of being formed, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to go up to the Imperial Guard Corps. Each royal city has 1,000 imperial guards who are responsible for maintaining the continuity of the site.
The treasury of the bank is directly guarded by Shenwuwei.
What about Ouyang Shuo?
But stay in Tianya Bieyuan, remote command.
That night, the first batch of deposits were counted.
After reading the briefing, Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded.
In just one afternoon, the nine major branches took in a total of six million gold coins in deposits.
When Bai Hua and the others got the news, they all cheered.
As a result, it also kicked off the prelude to the strong rise of the Four Seas Bank.
The good news kept coming, Bai Hua and the others couldn't sit still any longer, and they all bid farewell and left. They have two tasks, one is to evaluate the loan amount of the territory.
The low-interest loans of the Four Seas Bank do not mean that the more you borrow, the better.
If the territory cannot make use of the loan to create a higher profit than the loan interest rate and pay all the interest on the loan, it will become a huge burden on the territory's finances.
Therefore, even if Bai Hua and others have been promoted to the directors of Universal Bank, if they want to obtain a large loan, they must go through a strict approval process.
The first one is to submit a professional territorial budget.
The management team headed by Meng Zhida will review the financial budget, and after the on-site inspection, confirm that the territory has the ability to repay the loan before granting the loan.
Banks will also impose strict restrictions on the use of loans.
In this way, it is also to prevent the territories from playing off.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see any territory that could only go bankrupt and liquidate because it couldn't repay the loan.
With [Shanhai League]'s status in China, there is no need to worry, whoever has the guts of a bear will dare to rely on the account of the Universal Bank.
Any loan must have collateral.
Moreover, the mortgage contract is certified by Gaia and has legal validity.
Therefore, even if Di Chen and the others try to quietly apply for a loan from the Universal Bank through a third party, they cannot play small tricks.
Of course, at this stage, they don't have this opportunity either.
The second task for Bai Hua and the others was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of their next-level allies. Only true confidants and allies can obtain loans from the Universal Bank.
Ordinary allies can only be avoided for the time being.
As a result, it was basically impossible for Di Chen and the others to make trouble.
...
January 30th of the third year of Gaia, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
In two more days, it will be the most important New Year's Eve of the year for Chinese people.
The strange thing is that on this day, a large number of adventure players did not think about buying new year's goods, but flocked to the Four Seas Bank located in the royal city.
Depositing the funds exchanged through pain into the bank as soon as possible is the top priority for players. Otherwise, the gold coins can only be depreciated day by day if they are placed in the storage bag.
Smart Chinese people, how could they fail to solve this question.
Compared with yesterday afternoon, the number of players who came to the bank to save money has doubled due to word of mouth among players.
Upon hearing the news, Ouyang Shuo was both happy and worried.
In desperation, he could only instruct Huo Qubing, who had just taken office, to send additional manpower in the major royal cities.
The head of the Imperial Guard Corps never imagined that his first task after taking office would be to maintain law and order at the scene.
If you tell me, no one will believe you.
It's just that Huo Qubing didn't dare to disobey the order of the emperor.
At the end of the day, the Four Seas Bank once again swept away 1,500 gold coins in deposits.
Such an achievement made Chun Shenjun and others jealous. They never expected that Shanhai City would play such a trick on the eve of New Year's Eve.
The lords in the wilderness have a different attitude, especially those commoner lords, who have begun to change their ways and want to build relationships with members of the [Shanhai League].
The purpose, of course, is to obtain a loan.
Ouyang Shuo's attitude towards this was ambiguous.
Neither agreed nor refused. The unified reply is that the end of the year is approaching, and we will discuss it after the year.
By doing this, Ouyang Shuo was just hanging on to the appetite of these lords.
As the saying goes, only when you can't get it can you know how to cherish it.
What is easily obtained is often not cherished.
If these lords are not deeply aware of the value of the loan, how can they willingly agree to a series of additional conditions from the Universal Bank.
Ouyang Shuo said that the territory that wants to apply for a loan must be open to the Universal Bank, allowing the bank to open a branch in the territory and make related investments in the property of the territory.
This condition is much harsher than the allied territories of Xunlong City.
The Four Seas Bank is becoming an important tool for Ouyang Shuo to exert influence on the wilderness.
