Chapter 823 Appease Allies
Ouyang Shuo was still not at ease, and asked Meng Zhida: "[Tingyulou] and other guilds withdraw their savings at the same time, will it have an impact on the business of the Universal Bank?"
Meng Zhida said: "There will definitely be some shocks, but it doesn't matter much. After a year of development, Four Seas Bank has a very rich source of savings and no longer relies on large savings."
"What if there are more than a hundred large and medium-sized guilds withdrawing their savings together?"
Ouyang Shuo has experienced the influence of [Silver Hand]. [Silver Hand] Since it can influence these guilds to stand in line, it will naturally allow them to withdraw their capital.
When Meng Zhida heard this, his face became serious, and he said, "If this is the case, the Four Seas Bank will definitely experience a period of turmoil. If we take precautions in advance, we should not hurt the foundation."
Ouyang Shuo nodded, finally felt a little relieved, and said, "In the future, Four Seas Bank will still focus on retail investors. Only by laying down a foundation in the grassroots can we be invincible."
"Your Majesty said so."
It's time for a change for Four Seas Bank.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Go down and get ready, and prepare a precautionary plan. Guess, they should take action when the battle for satellite cities settles."
"Understood. I will leave!" Meng Zhida turned and left.
Ouyang Shuo continued to stay in the study, waiting for the final result of the satellite city battle.
*************
February 26, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The siege battle has been fought until now, and the situation has gradually become clear.
The huge sacrifice finally made the small and medium-sized guilds wake up. Looking around, there are not many brothers left around, which is really chilling.
After the player died, the dropped equipment was spread all over the ground at the foot of the city wall.
A lot of equipment was too late to retrieve, and all of them were wiped away by Gaia, making the players who died in battle want to cry without tears.
The only ones still fighting among the nine king cities are Dali, Jianye and Xianyang. Even [Yimenglou] and [Shadow League] in Kyoto have given up after paying a heavy price.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, [Silver Hand] was finally frustrated.
Under heavy siege, Jianye's [Shangxue Rose Mercenary Corps] and Xianyang's [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] are still standing, allowing [Silver Hand] to see what a giant is.
In desperation, 【Silver Hand】can only give up. It's impossible not to give up, even if the head of the guild they control is willing to attack, the members below are not willing to die in vain.
The guild leaders in the game, especially in games like "Earth Online" that involve real interests, can't decide the life and death of guild members with a single word.
Nobody is a fool.
The only one that is still struggling is the [Qingfeng Pavilion] in Dali.
In the first stage of the battle [Qingfeng Pavilion], the loss was heavy, and the betrayal of the allies made it even worse. Seeing hope, the siege guilds gritted their teeth and continued to fight.
Seeing that [Qingfeng Pavilion] is about to fail.
When Ouyang Shuo saw him, his expression was depressed. Even he was powerless to change many things.
At a quarter past six, an announcement from Wangcheng sounded.
"Announcement from the Royal City: Congratulations to Xiao Nianying who led [Xiao Meng] to break through the satellite city guarded by [Qingfeng Pavilion], and obtained the permanent guard qualification of the satellite city of Dali Royal City. Congratulations to the players!"
...
As soon as the announcement came out, the world was in an uproar.
[Xiao League] This originally inconspicuous guild jumped up and became the biggest dark horse in the battle for the satellite city, famous in the wilderness.
So far, [Silver Hand]'s goal of dismembering [Shanhai League-Guild Alliance] has basically been achieved.
Of the guild alliance that originally occupied absolute dominance in China, only [Shangxue Rose] remained as the king of the royal city. Even if you count the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], there are only two of them.
What about 【Silver Hand】?
Seven out of nine can be described as a moment of glory.
In the evening, the satellite towns of the Nine Kingdoms were all settled, and there were no surprises. Gaia is also efficient, and immediately announced the operating rules of the satellite city and the opening rules for the entrance to the underground world.
According to regulations, although the guarding guild has the right to use the satellite city, it has no right to keep players out. In other words, players can freely enter and exit satellite cities.
It's just that Gaia doesn't care if you can rent houses and shops in the city. The guarding guild can use this as a fuss to further consolidate the alliance relationship and solidify its dominance in the royal city.
The entrance to the underground world is a physical entrance, located in the central square. Through a downward underground step, you can enter the mysterious underground world.
The entrance is open to all players, and the guarding guild has no right to block it.
Gaia's regulations are precisely to prevent the guarding guild from forming a monopoly and infringing on the interests of ordinary players. This is not in line with the fairness of the game, nor is it in line with the original intention of the game.
The entrance to the underground world is two-way. One of the important responsibilities of the guarding guild is to guard the entrance and prevent creatures from the underground world from rushing into the satellite city.
*************
On February 27th, Shanhai City.
Invited by Ouyang Shuo, the host of [Shadow League] Yinghu, the host of [Yimenglou] Meng Yuntunding, and the host of [Qingfeng Pavilion] who had just been released by the Ministry of Punishment gathered together in Shanhai City.
The three of them were quite depressed after losing the satellite city just now.
Ouyang Shuo invited the three of them to appease them, and said, "If my deduction is correct, if the main city of the territory is promoted to the capital city, similar satellite cities should also be opened."
"Really?" The eyes of the three people brightened.
Ouyang Shuo said: "The capital city and the royal city of the system are at the same level. Gaia can't favor one over the other. Shanhai City will reach the maximum population of two million this week, and you can apply to be promoted to the capital city. If you still trust me as the leader, Please be calm and don't be impatient, and bear with it for a while. When Shanhai City is promoted to the capital city, we will see the outcome. Even if the capital city will not open satellite cities, Shanhai City will have the strength to directly win a royal city in the future."
The bright moon shines on Dajiang, and his eyes become brighter and brighter.
"Yes, those villains who hide behind can be fierce for a while. But the wilderness speaks by strength after all, not to mention far away, if Shanhai City sends troops to take down Dali County, the satellite city will naturally be lost and regained."
Thinking about it this way, Mingyue Zhao Dajiang's mood immediately calmed down a lot. He never doubted that Shanhaicheng had the strength to capture Dali, but it was just a question of how much sacrifice Shanhaicheng was willing to make.
Ji Yinghu and Meng Yuntunding also raised hope again. They were defeated by [Sword Qi], it can only be said that their own strength is not enough, and it has nothing to do with Shanhai City.
On the contrary, without the equipment sold to them by Shanhai City and the intelligence support provided, they would have lost even worse. They really couldn't ask for more from Ouyang Shuo, the leader of the alliance. But even in this situation, Ouyang Shuo still made such a promise, which is really touching.
Jiyinghu said: "Don't worry, we can wait. Although the guild is a little unstable now, it just happened to take this opportunity to carry out an internal cleaning, slim down, and travel lightly."
In words, there is already some respect for Ouyang Shuo.
Meng Yuntunding also nodded resolutely, they understood what a friend in need is a friend in adversity today. "Following such a leader, even if you lose, you won't be wronged."
The four of them chatted for a while before they dispersed.
Since today, the relationship between Shanhai City and the three major guilds has gone one step further. If Ouyang Shuo can fulfill his promise today, the three guilds will be firmly tied.
…………
The nine guarding guilds had just won the satellite city, so they were extremely busy. The enthusiasm of the players also gradually dissipated, thinking that the wilderness would be quiet for a while.
Unexpectedly, just one morning later, there was another disturbance.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the three major guilds [Tingyulou], [Liuguangge] and [Laojunguan] issued a joint statement, announcing their withdrawal from the [Shanhai League-Guild Alliance] and joining the [Yanhuang League] camp.
At the same time, the three guilds will also withdraw their capital from the Four Seas Bank and instead invest in Huitong Bank. Naturally, the large amount of savings stored in the Four Seas Bank was also withdrawn, and all of it was deposited in the Huitong Bank.
Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred large and medium-sized guilds issued a statement, collectively withdrawing funds from the Four Seas Bank and depositing them in the Huitong Bank.
As soon as the news came out, the whole wilderness was shaken.
Everyone realized that a big storm was coming.
Only at this time did the players suddenly realize the tricks of the battle for the satellite city. It is an indisputable fact that the [Yanhuang League] faction won a big victory in the battle for the satellite city.
And this fact is beyond everyone's expectations.
Everyone thought that after the [Yanhuang League] lost in the Yunnan battlefield, the backyard was on fire again, and they were in a panic, and they were afraid that they would be dormant for a long time.
Unexpectedly, [Yanhuang League]'s counterattack would be so swift and fierce.
"If [Yanhuangmeng] has such strength in the guild circle, why did it only happen now, isn't it just a mental illness?" The clever player saw the trickiness in it.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Universal Bank issued an announcement.
According to the announcement, the Four Seas Bank is a well-established bank that allows all withdrawals under the framework of the contract and welcomes all new partners. The divestment behavior will not cause turmoil to the bank, because the roots of the bank are deeply buried in the player community. As long as players still trust Shanhai City, the foundation of the bank will be stable.
Shanhai City, which is about to establish a country, is the strongest backing of Universal Bank.
At the end of the day, the announcement also sent blessings to the divestment guilds, wishing these guilds can obtain "high-quality user experience" and "huge return on investment" in the "new bank".
Even a fool can see the teasing in the words.
A year has passed, and the two banks have already decided against each other. With the "assistance" of the Black Snake Guards, Huitong Bank practiced what is called a capital wolf, and was riddled with scandals.
Some time ago, Huitong Bank was even exposed. In terms of capital investment, it adopted double standards in the face of members of the [Yanhuang League] and non-members of the [Yanhuang League], violating the rights and interests of shareholders.
That turmoil almost made Huitong Bank fall into the target of public criticism.
Now that these guilds are suddenly eager to switch to Huitong Bank, a fool can see that there is something tricky in it, and there must be other factors behind it, not normal investment choices.
