Chapter 822 Breach of Contract
In addition to statistical data, the forum also discussed the daytime battle situation of the Nine King Cities, but outsiders are increasingly unable to understand the battle for satellite cities.
The ease of the [Yanhuang League] camp [Yanyun Eighteen Riders] and [Jinyiwei] was in stark contrast to the difficulty of the [Shanhai League] camp [Shangxue Meigui Mercenary Group] and [Qingfeng Pavilion].
Some people said that the [Yanhuang League] camp had the upper hand.
But if the [Yanhuang League] camp is attacking the [Shanhai League] camp, the [Liuguang Pavilion], [Laojunguan] and [Tingyu Tower] belonging to the [Shanhai League] camp are all progressing smoothly.
The situation is confusing and confusing.
How did the players know that these three guilds had quietly changed their flags. Therefore, it is actually the [Yanhuang League] camp that has the upper hand in this satellite city battle.
The [Shanhai League] camp is already in jeopardy.
When Ouyang Shuo saw this, he couldn't understand it.
【Listening to the Rain Building】The sword energy Leiyin was quite conscientious, so he gave Ouyang Shuo a warning and bid farewell. But Taoist Priest Qingniu of [Laojun Guan] and Jun Jilao of [Liuguang Pavilion] are a bit of a jerk, and they quietly switched to the camp without even saying a word, which is too dishonest.
"I will settle this account with you." Ouyang Shuo's eyes flickered coldly.
*************
On February 25th, take a day off.
The guilds that have obtained the qualification to guard the Nine King Cities are the busiest on this day. They not only have to do a good job in the defense of the satellite cities to prepare for tomorrow's siege, but also need to strengthen their allies and do a good job of cooperating.
Especially the three guilds of [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], [Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group] and [Qingfeng Pavilion] will use this day to make the final connection.
[Silver Hand] is indeed powerful, but not so powerful that it can cover the sky with one hand.
Yesterday, in the competition for tokens in the satellite city, the reason why the guilds of the [Yanhuang League] faction went smoothly was that the more than a dozen large guilds controlled by the [Silver Hand] suddenly changed gears.
Their temporary defection has become the key minority to change the balance of power.
Now it depends on who has the better skills, [Qingfeng Pavilion] is undoubtedly sad, the pavilion owner was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at a critical moment, making allies full of doubts.
[Silver Hand]'s strategy is undoubtedly very clever.
In the first stage, they were not in a hurry to snatch the token of the satellite city of Dali King City. Because none of the dozen or so large guilds controlled by [Silver Hand] had the confidence to withstand the siege of [Qingfeng Pavilion] and its allies in the second phase of the siege.
So they played a trick. In the first stage, let [Qingfeng Pavilion] stand in front as a target, and wait until the second stage to implement the pack of wolves tactics to take down [Qingfeng Pavilion].
[Qingfeng Pavilion] Even if you know the enemy's calculations, you can only follow the script. As the largest guild in Dali Royal City and one of the top ten in China, [Qingfeng Pavilion] has its own pride.
Some things must be fought and resisted.
At five or six in the afternoon, the 24-hour cooldown period is over. Guilds from the Nine Kingdoms successively launched tentative attacks on the satellite cities to find out the reality.
Of course, this is just an appetizer, and it's only an hour before and after.
When night fell, the outside of the satellite city was already lit with flames. Interested guilds have already set up camp outside the satellite city to seize a favorable attack position and wait for tomorrow's battle.
…………
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the massive siege guilds did not give the guarding guilds any time to breathe, and immediately started the siege operation.
They are not an army, they don't pay attention to orders and prohibitions, and they don't have any tactics. Everyone rushed forward and flooded the satellite city with the sea of people, which was their only tactic.
So they have to race against time.
Sitting in Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo already had a plan for this satellite city battle. The decline of [Shanhai League-Guild Alliance] seems to be a fait accompli.
Apart from switching to [Liuguang Pavilion], [Laojun Temple] and [Tingyu Tower] of [Yanhuang League], [Yimeng Tower] and [Shadow League] in Kyoto may not be able to compete with [Sword Qi].
To make matters worse, [Qingfengge], the core ally of Shanhai City, might not be able to keep the satellite city.
What Ouyang Shuo is most concerned about now is whether the [Shang Xue Mei Mei Mercenary Group] can survive this wave. If even [Shangxue Meigui] fell, then [Shanhai League-Guild Alliance] would really fall completely.
I hope the batch of equipment he sent last night can save the emergency.
Ouyang Shuo hasn't done nothing these two days. He has already ordered the Black Snake Guards who have not yet evacuated from China to mobilize all hidden lines in Kyoto, Jianye, Dali, and even Xianyang. Create chaos and division in the middle, or build bridges for allies in the neutral guild.
The resistance encountered by [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] in the first stage made Ouyang Shuo realize that this strongest guild in China has not yet been taken down by [Silver Hand].
If he could help, Ouyang Shuo would naturally help.
When the traditional allies fell one after another, Ouyang Shuo was unwilling to let go of any chance to form an alliance.
In short, Ouyang Shuo did everything he could. He even wanted to send a batch of equipment to [Qingfeng Pavilion], but the teleportation array in Wangcheng was closed by Gaia, Ouyang Shuo was powerless.
At this point, they are on their own.
Ouyang Shuo, the leader of the alliance, now has to consider how to deal with the post-war situation. Judging from the behavior style of Dichen and others, the [Silver Hand] is definitely an existence that cannibalize people without spit out bones.
Now that they have rebelled against the [Liuguang Pavilion] and other guilds, they will never be satisfied with just taking down the satellite city, and there must be another way after the war.
The first thing Ouyang Shuo thought of was Universal Bank.
[Tingyulou] owns 5% of the equity of Universal Bank, while [Liuguangge] and [Laojunguan] each hold 3% of the equity. The three together account for 11% of the equity. It is already a company that cannot be ignored. strength.
It is almost conceivable to withdraw from the Four Seas Bank and invest in the embrace of Huitong Bank. What is even more vicious is that they will use this as an opportunity to attack the business of the Four Seas Bank in the Nine Kings City.
The Four Seas Bank is an important tool for Ouyang Shuo to exert influence on grassroots players, and it is also a major financial pillar of the territory. Ouyang Shuo will never allow it to be destroyed by the [Silver Hand].
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo immediately summoned Meng Zhida, the general manager of the Four Seas Bank. Just in the dynasty structure that Ouyang Shuo discussed with the ministers, the Four Seas Bank also had to make some adjustments.
Two things can be discussed together.
As for the specific situation of the satellite city battle, Ouyang Shuo had no intention of paying attention.
…………
Half an hour later, Meng Zhida hurried over.
The business of the Four Seas Bank is closely related to the guild. Meng Zhida has a keen sense of smell, so naturally he has been paying attention to the progress of the battle for the satellite city. Hearing the summoning from the king, I felt a sudden shock in my heart.
Meng Zhida had a premonition that what the emperor wanted to talk to him might have something to do with the current melee. After sitting down, I didn't expect Jun Shang to say something else.
Ouyang Shuo said: "Zhida, you have heard about the formation of a cabinet when the territory is established, right?"
"heard."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "After the founding of the country, in principle, the General Administration of Finance will be promoted to the Finance Yuan. The only thing is that the Four Seas Bank will be separated from the future Finance Yuan, and will be directly under the cabinet, parallel to the Finance Yuan."
"This..." Meng Zhida didn't know how to respond.
The Four Seas Bank was upgraded and no longer subject to the constraints of the Ministry of Finance, so Meng Zhida was naturally happy; but now the Four Seas Bank is still under the leadership of the General Administration of Finance, and Fan Li is still his direct boss.
Therefore, it is really difficult for Meng Zhida to comment on this matter, so it is better to keep silent.
Ouyang Shuo just smiled and said, "Since Gu told you in advance, there is nothing to be afraid of. The promotion of the Four Seas Bank is not to expand the power, but for the needs of the future dynasty. The Four Seas Bank will undertake the relevant functions of the central bank in the future. It’s not an easy task. As a leader in the federal banking industry, you must be more aware of the central bank’s cognition and positioning than Gu, right?”
In reality, a central bank is a government-organized institution responsible for controlling the country's money supply, credit conditions, and regulating the financial system, especially commercial banks and other savings institutions.
The responsibilities of the central bank include issuing currency in a unified manner, centrally keeping the reserves of commercial banks, acting as an agent for the treasury, issuing government bonds, and managing foreign exchange.
Another point is that the central bank is not for profit, but for the realization of national macroeconomic goals. That's why Ouyang Shuo said that Cosmopolitan Bank only undertakes part of the central bank's responsibilities, and that in the future, Cosmopolitan Bank will conduct business around the world, so it cannot be regarded as a pure central bank.
Naturally, Meng Zhida understood everything, and said, "I understand."
Ouyang Shuo finished his point, and then talked about the possible divestment of guilds such as "Ting Yu Lou".
"If they divest, what countermeasures can we take?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Meng Zhida didn't panic when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. When all the guilds bought shares, they all signed a legally effective shareholding agreement. According to the breach of contract clause of the agreement, if the shareholder unilaterally proposes to withdraw the capital, Four Seas Bank has the right to deduct half of the share capital as liquidated damages.”
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "That's enough for them to drink a pot."
When the various guilds bought shares, each share was priced at 200,000 gold coins, and the three major guilds held 11% of the shares. If half of the share capital was deducted, they would have to pay a total of 1.1 million gold coins in liquidated damages.
For the guild, this is not a small sum of money.
Meng Zhida continued: "In addition to the share capital, if they take away the savings in the Four Seas Bank. According to the agreement signed at the beginning, as a shareholder, the funds deposited in the Four Seas Bank are calculated on a three-year basis. If you take it when it is full, you will not get a penny of interest.”
Ouyang Shuo nodded, he was clear about this. At the auction a year ago, Scarlet Romance and Xie Siyun did not receive a copper coin in interest on the two sums of money they took away.
It is equivalent to saying that [Tingyulou] and other guilds deposited a large amount of funds in the Four Seas Bank, and let the Four Seas Bank use it for a year, but did not get any return on investment.
If inflation is factored in, it even loses money.
