Chapter 3657: Too Much Bullying

The most glorious era for Shanxi merchants and Rothschild was when the imperial court was in decline and the imperial court needed merchants for capital circulation.

When Eastern Rome was defeated by the Ottomans, a large number of assets belonging to the emperor were handed over to the Rothschild family for management. This was the foundation for their family's rapid rise.

When the Qing Dynasty failed, Cixi had to live in the properties of Shanxi merchants when she fled westward. A large amount of silver and gold in the Qing Dynasty was stored in the silver accounts of Shanxi merchants.

The greater the chaos, the greater the opportunities for financiers.

"After the chaos, the imperial court lost control over commodity prices, and the prices of materials could skyrocket. In this way, futures could be sold and stocks traded based on materials. A batch of grain could make money several times, and the east wall could be demolished to make up for the west wall. , even if it is a lie, no one will care. "The troubled times are the time when financial games are crazy, and the areas previously controlled by the court have become out of control, and the court needs someone to take care of them. Field makes money for yourself.

This was true in both Eastern Rome and the Qing Dynasty, where a large number of industries were handed over to businessmen. When the new imperial court was established, Shanxi merchants and the Rothschild family were no longer so prosperous.

Duran believed that the empress could cooperate with the navy to establish a channel.

"Now the financial system of the imperial court is about to end, but everyone still needs finance and trade, so the opportunity of Daughter Island has come. Everything that the world government used to manage can be handed over to you. You control prices, you control resources, and you can play with it. You can make a lot of money by playing the game of playing drums and passing flowers." Dulan said, "It's not too late to cooperate with Ace. Once you have financial access, you will have more bargaining chips."

After hearing this, the empress completely understood that Dulan wanted them to be opportunistic: "Although we do love money, we cannot have a bottom line."

"If you don't do it, others will naturally do it. When the time comes, those who have a bottom line will lose to those who have no bottom line. You can build financial channels first and then improve them."

"Do you think everything will be fine with improvements? If everything can be improved, the navy will not decline." said the empress.

"Primitive accumulation is always very bloody, but after initial accumulation, you can benefit society and pretend to be a civilized person." Dulan said with a smile: "I still strongly recommend you do this. Troubled times are a good time to make a lot of money. Don't Missed it.”

The empress stopped talking and watched Dulan leave.

After returning, she discussed with others whether to do this.

"Do it, why not do it? Although Dulan is not a good person, his vision is very vicious. Since he said so, it is indeed a good opportunity."

"I also support it. Judging from the current intelligence, there are indeed many people who need a backup platform. No one knows when the World Government will be finished, and they need a backup plan. Girls' Island can completely become everyone's backup plan. If we don’t make this money, others will. It’s better for us to make the right choice in the future.”

The empress was not so optimistic, but seeing that everyone wanted to make money, it was difficult to say anything, so she finally chose to agree.

As a result, Nine Snake Bank began to frequently contact various countries, build platforms, and began rapid expansion.

The world government is no longer powerful, and everyone has to find a way out for themselves. They used to meet in the world government to discuss the distribution of trade, but now everyone is worried that the world government will suddenly disappear.

The world government is gone, history must continue, and life must go on, so business cannot be stopped. Everyone has replaced Bailey with land, and the food grown on the land must be sold at a good price, and the goods they need must be exchanged. The goods produced must also continue to be exchanged, so they need a platform.

Nine Snake Bank appeared at just the right time, combining businessmen from various countries to form a huge network.

A lot of trade no longer goes through the world government, but goes directly through banks. This causes the world government to be hit again. Coupled with Bailey's increasing unpopularity, the world government decides to raise interest rates.

Raising interest rates is actually borrowing money at high interest rates.

Originally, one hundred dollars had one dollar of interest, so everyone sent the money to the World Government. Now for a hundred yuan and ten yuan in interest, everyone is willing to send the money.

If the interest rate is not raised, they would rather go to Nine Snake Bank, even if the interest rate of Nine Snake Bank is only one yuan.

But everyone knows that raising interest rates cannot last forever. I have never heard of anyone getting rich through loan sharking.

"That's too much!" Wulaoxing was very angry.

"Pirates are just enemies, but Nine Snakes Bank wants to dig into our foundation!"

"Nine Snake Bank is more harmful than Ace. Ace has no credibility and the nobles don't trust them. But Nine Snake Bank has built trust in a short period of time and has become the new choice of the nobles. How dare these bastards It’s unforgivable to have two boats.”

Wulaoxing did not expect that the nobles would need a plan B. Nine Snake Bank quickly replaced many of the court's jobs.

"Don't be angry, even we need the platform of Nine Snakes Bank now, and a lot of our family's business comes from Nine Snakes Bank." Wulaoxing looked angry on the surface, but the business behind the scenes is also indispensable to Nine Snakes Bank. .

To protect the world government, or to protect Wulaoxing’s own family? That must be public and private. When trying to turn the tide for the world government, it will not affect the family's handing over their property to Nine Snake Bank for profit.

Ace has no credibility. Although it develops very quickly, the nobles are worried that Ace will come and rob their wealth. Only those desperate ruffians will believe in Ace and support Ace, because they have nothing and need to wait for Ace to develop together.

The nobles have already mastered a lot of resources, so they naturally don’t believe in the ruffians. In their opinion, the ruffians will rob their wealth at any time.

But the Nine Snake Bank is different. They are here to help the nobles make money, so they quickly gained trust.

This is why the Five Elders think that the Nine Snake Bank is more dangerous than Ace, because the nobles believe in the bank, not Ace. But who can make them unable to handle it? At this time, they can only accept the reality. After all, the Five Elders also need a plan B.

Now everyone is worried that Bailey will become waste paper and the world government will collapse. Although it will not happen immediately, when it really happens, it will be too late to find a reserve platform.

The reserve platform must be prepared in advance, and it can be used immediately when it is needed, with seamless connection.

It’s useless for the Five Elders to be angry. Who made the world government weak and unable to control the situation?

"First we retreated from the four seas, and then from the first half of the Grand Line. We have nowhere to retreat." The Five Elders said angrily.

"Akainu's efficiency is too low. As long as the pirates are eliminated, the situation will definitely improve."

"Not only the pirates, but also the father and son of Garp and Dragon should be eliminated. And Robin, Ace, and the Four Emperors, all should be killed."

It feels like the monster king in "Journey to the West" asked the little monster to kill Sun Wukong. Akainu is just one person. How can he beat so many enemies?

If he could beat them, he wouldn't have to be so entangled.

"The navy is too weak, and the plot has no sense of urgency." Duran said: "At this time, Wang Luffy still needs to inject some exciting elements."

Although Wang Luffy's new navy has been growing, there are too few masters. The fruit is too expensive, the domineering is too difficult to practice, and the technology is too conspicuous, so Wang Luffy is also considering how to improve his combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Wang Luffy is so strong because his training efficiency is ten times that of others, but others don't. Although the new navy is working hard, it is still improving slowly.

"We have to think of a way." Wang Luffy knew that the new navy also needed strength: "Although many troops can be rebellious now, the strong are respected on the sea. No matter how many soldiers there are, they can be wiped out with a domineering Haki. Experts are the main combat power. But experts are not easy to train." He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how to improve combat power.

After thinking about it, it seems that artificial fruit is indeed a good idea. Training Haki is too slow, and artificial fruit can form combat power faster.

At the same time, Haki must also be cultivated, and both hands must be strong.
