Bright Era

In the middle of the night, the streets of the imperial capital Berrily. Lin Qi and Cohen sneaked through the dark streets in their cloaks, just like two little thieves prying doors and windows. Occasionally, dragoons rode past them, and both of them rushed to the dark shadows on the street to avoid the watchful sight of dragoons.

Just after Lin Qi paid the bill, the two had a supper at a tavern by the back door of Fifth University, and then Cohen strolled out with Lin Qi and walked towards the east of the city along a street with no lights.

The dragoons and copper hats caused great trouble for the two of them along the way, and they had to hide in embarrassment many times, so as not to be discovered by their sneaky tracks. Cohen couldn't help cursing cursing. It was all the good things done by those **** thieves-one was the theft of No.1 Shenghui Avenue, the other was the theft of the crown of the Victory Palace, and several great gods had accidents in the Imperial Capital. The guard force of the imperial capital today is much stronger than before.

If it weren’t for Lin Qi’s strength to be much stronger than these dragoons and copper hats, if it wasn’t for Lin Qi’s mental power to have spread tens of meters, if they discovered the movements of these people in advance, the two would have long been caught. Times.

"The gods cursed those **** thieves so that they would never see the lovely gold coins!" Cohen grumbled and hurried forward with Lin Qi with his head shrunk. Lin Qi rubbed his nose a little embarrassed. It seems that all the big cases in the Imperial Capital recently have something to do with him? Is Cohen cursing him?

After walking forward cautiously for a long time, the two finally arrived at the famous Golden Lily Square in Dongcheng District.

This square has a long history and already existed when the imperial capital was built. This small square is surrounded by many famous big banks on the mainland, especially all the big banks of the empire, their headquarters are set up here.

Banks that can have an independent building near Golden Lily Square are all behemoths that can make a country turbulent for a while. Someone once said that if all the banks on the Golden Lily Plaza of the Gaul Empire unite, their wealth alone will have the power to subvert an empire.

Coen brought Lin Qi to here in the middle of the night, and Lin Qi couldn't help but gave Coen a secretive look.

"My most respected professor, are you planning to rob the vault here?" Lin Qi blinked desperately, staring at Professor Cohen. In the entire imperial capital, Golden Lily Square is the only forbidden place where the guard force surpasses the Victory Palace. Because of the financial resources of these big banks, the daily security of the entire Golden Lily Square is maintained by an elite and powerful mercenary group.

'Tu', this is the name of the mercenary regiment that guards the Golden Lily Square. It is also the only officially recognized large-scale mercenary regiment in the Gaul Empire. Its history can be traced back to the Hundred Years Land Island War. During the war,'Tu' gave the imperial army a great help.

Not to mention anything else, there are twelve heavenly soldiers stationed in Golden Lily Square alone! On weekdays, there are only four positions stationed in the Victory Palace, and the defense force of the Golden Lily Square is three times that of the Victory Palace!

Lin Qi is very curious, could it be said that Professor Cohen is a hidden master, he can easily kill the twelve heavenly ranks?

Cohen glared at Lin Qi. He shook his shriveled arm and coughed a few lowly: "Nonsense, Lin Qi, I want to give you a special extracurricular tutoring class today. I want you to understand. One thing, such a thing as looting, does not necessarily have to be done with violence!"

Shaking his cloak, Cohen led Lin Qi to a granite building across the square.

Although it is late at night, the Golden Lily Square is still brightly lit. There is a circle of lamp posts along the square, and the bright street lights illuminate the square so that it can be seen. Some carriages are parked outside some buildings, and on the carriages of these carriages, there will always be a shiny family crest.

Lin Qi glanced at these coats of arms. They all belonged to some well-known wealthy aristocrats, but Lin Qi didn't understand. Do these big aristocrats have the habit of talking about business in the middle of the night? If they want to do secret activities, they must come to Golden Lily Square in the middle of the night, why do they hang out their own coat of arms?

Several guards wearing light blue armor stood by a water spray pond not far away, looking at Cohen and Lin Qi with cold eyes. In the huge Golden Lily Square, only the two of them are the most sneaky, and they don't look like good things. They were dressed in heavy cloaks, and their entire bodies were covered tightly by the heavy, wide cloaks, and they were full of evil spirits.

Two guards approached them as if nothing had happened, but before the guards arrived, Cohen had brought Lin Qi to the building. Lin Qi glanced at the building. The door of the building was inlaid with a huge coat of arms of pure gold. Looking at the pattern on it, this is the famous silver fir elephant bank in the empire.

Cohen knocked heavily on the door of the Silver Cedar Elephant Bank, and he heard footsteps inside, and then accompanied by a low humming sound, a small door that only allowed one person to pass through was opened on the side of the door. Cohen muttered a few words in a low voice, then led Lin Qi into the small door. The skinny old man who opened the door walked out the door, took out a coat of arms and shook the two guards approaching here, and the two guards wandered back slowly.

The small door closed behind them. The skinny old man led Lin Qi and Cohen along a dim corridor. They circled the corridor several times. The three came to a brightly lit and even a little dazzling room. .

A few well-dressed middle-aged men were sitting behind a long table. Cohen took Lin Qi and sat on the opposite side of the middle-aged men. The two sides faced each other with a long table top one meter wide and three meters long.

"Dear guest, according to your appointment, we have everything ready." A few middle-aged people didn't seem to care about the weird costumes of Lin Qi and Cohen. One of them, with a cheerful energy, made a huge square The leather bag was placed on the long table.

Cohen opened the cowhide bag, looked at the contract in the cowhide bag under the bright light, and then he nodded in satisfaction. He knocked on the table lightly and muttered to Lin Qi a few times. Lin Qi hurriedly took out the gold ticket, counted out 18 million gold coins and handed them to the middle-aged people across the long table. people.

Several middle-aged people swiftly and carefully checked the golden ticket that Lin Qi handed over, and then they simultaneously showed happiness and a few secretive smiles. They nodded solemnly to Lin Qi and the two, and then left the room with the golden ticket.

Then Cohen took Lin Qi and quickly left Yinshan Elephant Bank, and under the shadow of the building, he went to another bank next door.

The same thing happened. Cohen took Lin Qi in and out of the headquarters of these big banks a dozen times and exchanged all the gold tickets on Lin Qi into a contract. In just over an hour, Lin Qi's gold tickets totaling nearly 100 million yuan were spent cleanly, in exchange for a thick stack of contracts in Coen's hands.

"Professor Cohen, what are you going to do?" Lin Qi was heartbroken and worried at the same time. What exactly is Cohen going to do? What are these contracts? Nearly 100 million gold coins, Lin Qi has never spent so much money in this life. Even though he spent a lot of gold on Hell Hammer last time, he also got a lot of weapons and ordnance.

But Cohen's behavior was too weird this time.

Cohen smiled secretly, and he pointed to a dark building made of black volcanic steel on the opposite side of Golden Lily Square.

"This is our goal, Iron Wall Bank!" Cohen's expression was weird. He bit his beard and smiled triumphantly: "Iron Wall Bank, the real economic lifeline of the prince Thuram, depends on the century-old land. At the end of the Island War, I started from preparing military expenditures for the mainland countries, and now it is one of the most powerful banks on the mainland."

He slapped his hand **** the contract, Cohen narrowed his eyes and sneered: "The contracts I want you to pay for are all internal loan instruments between Iron Wall Bank and other banks."

Lin Qi quietly listened to Coen's explanation, and then he was scared to cold sweat by Coen's appetite!

According to Cohen, these banks, whether it is a bank with a private family background or a bank with a national background, are insatiable monsters. Generally speaking, mainland citizens deposit their own gold coins in banks. The banks issue gold tickets for these gold coins, and then charge a fee when the gold tickets are redeemed. According to the understanding of ordinary people, this is the only source of income for the bank.

But in order to pursue profit, how can the bank stupidly hide the golden coins in the vault?

Even if one million gold tickets are exchanged for cash or other denominations, how much is this fee? Maybe a big banker will eat up that little fee for dinner. Therefore, banks will use other people's gold coins stored in their treasury to lend and lend to operators in various industries to obtain high interest returns.

But gradually, the appetite of these bankers grew. They were surprised to find that no one knew how many gold coins they had in their vaults! If they only have 10 million gold coins in the warehouse, but if they issue gold tickets with a denomination of 100 million gold coins, and then use these gold tickets to invest, they can still get a huge interest return!

As a result, the amount of gold tickets issued by these banks is getting larger and larger, because ordinary people have become accustomed to the convenience brought by gold tickets, and no one like Lin Qi likes to carry heavy gold coins everywhere! Therefore, as long as no one opens their vaults, the gold tickets issued by them are exactly the same as gold coins.

Therefore, there are more and more gold tickets, far exceeding the actual number of gold coins in their warehouse!

Therefore, occasionally there will be some customers who, for some reason, extract in large quantities nowadays!

When there are insufficient gold coins in the warehouse, some large banks will borrow cash from well-connected banks.

Or in certain investment activities or equity participation, these banks will also lend to each other.

All in all, the things inside are very complicated.

And Professor Cohen took so many loan contracts from Iron Wall Bank, just wanting to swallow Iron Wall Bank!

The top ten iron wall banks in the entire continent! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
