Chapter 18 North Borneo Company (first update, please read and collect)
  ……

Ask, what has the following functions: thought deprivation, spirit giving, energetic, physical excitement, exhaustion, and refreshment.

The answer is enchantment, demon.

For Stana, that girl not only looks charming, but she is definitely a succubus, a demon, active and has a strong sense of fighting, but her fighting ability is a bit poor.

After the lingering gasps ended, and after a while, Li Yi'an reluctantly got up from the warm bed, rubbed his messy hair, yawned and walked into the bathroom...

When he walked out of the bathroom, Stana, who was lying limply on the bed, looked at his broad and strong back, with only deep fascination flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Dear, yesterday I received an invitation from Lady Sir. She invited me to attend a reading party held at her place. If all goes well, our products will have almost entered the upper class of London."

Turning over, Stana didn't mind exposing her body to the sun, and she said with emotion.

"Originally, I thought I was the only one who lost everything, but compared to them, I was very lucky. By the way, dear, did you know? Her husband is Robert Smith, the Governor of North Borneo. North Borneo was occupied by Japan. Sir Smith surrendered to the Japanese in Sandakan when the Japanese occupied it, but he was very unlucky and died in a prisoner of war camp a few months ago due to an infection..."

It was just a dog bite between imperialists. Li Yi'an, who was brushing his teeth, ignored Stana's emotion.

He sneered in his heart.

died of illness?

You are too naive. When have the Japanese been so kind?

"Because North Borneo was occupied, the company had no income, so naturally it couldn't pay salaries, and of course it couldn't pay the knight's pension..."

"What? The company pays his salary? Shouldn't it be the British government that pays him?"

Spitting out the foam from his mouth, Li Yian asked in cooperation.

"Dear, North Borneo belongs to the company, not the UK. It is a chartered company, okay..."

“What is a charter company?”

If he just cooperated before, Li Yian is a little curious now.

Stana said as she turned her body sideways with her head on her arms.

"It is a company with a royal charter. The company rules over [-] square miles of land there. Everything there belongs to the company. The company manages everything there like a country. In fact, Jason is also a company employee."

In other words, it’s almost the same as the East India Company?

Li Yian really didn't expect that there would still be such a company in the 20th century.

"Is there such a company in the British colonies?"

"Dear, North Borneo is not a British colony. Although it holds a royal charter, legally speaking, it is just a company, a company responsible to the board of directors, the United Kingdom..."

Stana sneered.

"When Sandakan fell, the Army or the Royal Navy did not send even a single company of troops there. To the British, it was just private land and not a British colony at all."

Stana's words were so full of dissatisfaction with the British government that she didn't even notice that Li Yi'an, who was sitting beside the bed, was a little distracted by her words.     Private land, not a colony.

Doesn’t this mean that that land does not belong to any country?
  Not belonging to the state, at least to some extent. And it is just a company. If it is a company, then... there is a possibility of transaction!

"The most painful thing now should be the members of the board of directors. In the past, they could get tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds in dividends every year. However, now not only can they not get dividends, they even have to pay bank interest."

Stana's words shocked Li Yi'an and asked quickly.

"What interest?"

"Bonds are corporate bonds issued by the company before the war. They are worth several million pounds. Although the company was occupied, the directors must bear the company's debts, including paying interest on the bonds. Last time I talked to Mrs. Dent While having afternoon tea, she heard that the corporate debtor had once again rejected the request to stop paying interest. After all, life is difficult for everyone now and everyone needs money. Although the directors are very rich, they are sitting on nothing and still have to pay. Bond interest is also a big burden. I heard from Mrs. Dent that if any fool is willing, she will sell the shares as soon as possible..."

Stana's eyes closed, she turned around and lay down on the bed, opened her arms, fully exposed her perfect body to the sun, let the bright sunshine shine on her body, and said lazily.

"But, are there such fools in this world?"

"Maybe there really is such a fool!"

"What? How could there be such a fool!"

Li Yian said thoughtfully as he forcefully patted Stana's buttocks and felt the trembling Q-bomb.

"Help me learn more about the company in the future."

"what?"

Stana quickly turned over and said hurriedly.

"Dear, you don't want to be that fool, do you? Don't think this is an advantage. Even those ladies know that after the war, Britain will definitely let the colonies be autonomous. Without the British government Without the support, the company will definitely not be able to continue operating, and those shares will definitely be worthless by then!"

Looking at Stana's concerned look, Li Yian smiled.

"Isn't it worthless now? Not only is it worthless, but it is also a negative asset that continues to overdraw their wealth."

Negative equity is also an asset!

Although Li Yi'an clearly knew the future direction and knew that the British colonial empire would quickly fall apart after the war, it did not prevent him from becoming interested in the North Borneo Company. At first, he really didn't know where it was.

After Stana's popular science, he learned that the so-called North Borneo is northwest Borneo, covering an area of ​​almost 7.5 square kilometers. And Borneo is the Kalimantan Island in another world - the third largest island in the world with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers.

I don’t think about such a big island right now, but North Borneo is a land of more than [-] square kilometers!

The most important thing is not the land!
  But the local emperor!
  If you can take advantage of this opportunity to take possession of the North Borneo Company, then you can get rid of the biggest dilemma - the possibility of becoming fat.

As a Chinese in this era, whether in the United States or other countries, being rich is not necessarily a good thing. When you are very rich, you are likely to become a thorn in the eyes of other people, at least to many people. People are jealous.

How can you protect your property under the watchful eyes of a group of greedy people like wolves and tigers? If you are not careful, it will become the fat in their mouths!

Li Yian had to guard against this!
  Before, we had no choice, but now...the opportunity has come!
  　Reading this is a bit of a stretch, so please give me your support. You can kill it, but you don’t need to raise it. Thank you, boss.
