Chapter 831 Winner Takes All

It is still in the Conference Hall of the “Eye of Fortune” headquarters building.

The aura was suppressed, the air was dignified, and even the candle flames of the whale oil candles on the walls were extremely dim.

“Vote!”

The deep voice of Chairman William Orange reverberated in the spacious Conference Hall.

However.

Every Frisian here knows very well how important [credit] means to themselves, to major institutions, and even to the entire nascent “Lower Republic”.

In the past 100 years or so, the Frisian Kingdom has prospered in trade and shipping, and it is the reliable image as precious as gold created by Frisian merchants behind it!

It all stems from a true story before the age of great seafaring.

A Frisian captain named Barents and 17 sailors, driving a merchant ship carrying the client’s cargo, were trapped on an island in the northern Icelandic country by the frozen sea.

8 months of waiting in isolation.

In the meantime.

They dismantled the decks of their ships for fuel to maintain their body temperature in the freezing cold of minus 40 degrees, and hunted for their subsistence fur and food.

In such a terrible and dangerous situation, 8 of them died one after another.

But these Frisians have done something unimaginable to outsiders, not touching the goods entrusted to them by the guests, even though the goods contained clothes and medicines that could save their lives!

From winter to spring, the surviving crew finally brought the goods to their destination intact and delivered them to the client after suffering untold hardships.

They paid the price with their own lives, held fast to their beliefs, and created the business rules handed down to future generations, which is also a precious wealth for future generations.

At the time, this also brought them and all the Frisians the obvious benefit of winning the world market for seaborne trade.

Obviously, there is no who can achieve success just by chance.

For merchants from various countries, who would not want to hand over their goods to such a group of people who can protect it with their lives?

This is a story that every Frisian knows as a child, and is even an important part of the soul-building process.

【Credit】is more important than gold!

If the [credit] is lost, what will be left of the lowland with small land area, scarce resources, and even insufficient population?

So, although the tone was heavy, the decision did not come with any surprises.

“Redeem the contract!”

“Second!”

“Second!”

Of course, the pursuit of profit is the nature and nature of capital. original sin.

Even if they agree to pay the contract, it does not prevent the great characters present here secretly planning to attack those flower farmers and plantation owners.

It’s hard to move at this critical moment of focal point of ten thousands.

But as long as the limelight is over, they have thousands of ways to use “legal” means to get those lucky nouveau riches to spit out everything they eat!

A farce lasted for less than a year.

Although “Eye of Wealth” has drawn funds from branches in various countries, and even sold high-quality assets around the world to cash out, and paid for futures contracts through gritted teeth, it is a complete draw.

However, this unprecedented bubble has also made many banking groups and investment institutions to the point of injury, and even relatively radical institutions have declared bankruptcy.

However, the subsequent impact goes far beyond that.

When the private capital was harvested, the upper-level institutions were also injured.

The large amount of real gold and white silver flowed out of this country, and the major banking groups had to shrink their money in the “Lower Republic”.

【Money Root】: It is used to reflect the supply of funds. If there are many borrowers and few lenders in the market, that is, the market supply of funds is less than the demand, which is called “money shortage”.

Even the money supply of precious metals that people need in their daily lives has been affected.

As it should be by rights , the economic revitalization policy promulgated by Prime Minister Constance Harlan since he took office last year immediately became a dead letter.

The “Tulip Bubble” at this time inevitably transcended the financial sector and transformed into an impact on the real economy!

Those handicraft workshop owners, farmers, and small factory owners who once obtained low-interest loans from banks were unable to repay their debts at all when the loans expired, and they could no longer borrow new ones to repay the old ones.

A massive wave of bankruptcies hit production.

The economy of the “Lower Republic”, which had just gained independence and was about to flourish, was hit hard.

The factories are deserted and the people’s livelihood is desolate, which is destined to be a great depression that will last for many years.

The most important thing is that

The mortal world is desolate and desolate, and the Transcendent World is not immune to it.

Click.Click.

With a few crisp sounds.

The golden light “Angel of Prosperity” Divine Idol in the wealth cathedral suddenly burst into two deep cracks, as if crying.

Even the gold paint on his body was mottled, exuding an irresistible decay.

“God!”

“All-powerful God!”

“Angel of prosperity, lord of gold, ruler of capital.”

A large group of clergymen kneeling on the ground were crying like prepare for there funeral.

Compared to the high-spirited and vigorous days of previous days, the situation is nothing short of heaven and hell.

Obviously, after the relocation of the road, [Capital Priesthood] has become the “God of Capital and Wealth”. Because of the heavy losses of domestic [capital], it cannot escape the fate of being backlashed by [capital].

The backlash comes from the priesthood of [Capital], as well as the resentment of all believers who have suffered heavy losses!

Barrit Archbishop’s body trembled slightly, and he didn’t know very well what the true status of the patriarch god was.

But what he knows is that if the nature of this incident cannot be clearly understood, the financial market will be left with random thunderstorms, and this will happen every once in a while in the future.

Don’t say it’s the Divine King of this era, it’s not that absolutely does not have the possibility of being dragged down by the fiercely from the throne of True God.

In contrast to the bitter wind and rain on the opposite side, there are happy laughter and cheerful voices on a certain port in the kingdom of Phaletis.

Boom!

A large merchant ship slowly docked, and the big winners of the “Tulip Bubble” group on the surface, under the escort of the Phaletis warship, joined the Alliance just and honorable.

No one is a fool. Most planters and flower farmers boarded the merchant ship bound for the Tulip Union immediately after receiving the final payment, letting the big capitalists punch all their subsequent means. in an empty space.

As for how many of these people have been replaced by [Faceless Man] in the “Tulip Trend” Early-Stage, only Alwin himself knows.

pa! pa! pa!

Sitting in the vest of St. James’s Palace gently clapped, laughed to the adoring Livina beside her:

“Beautiful Your Majesty, since the Frisians have such a spirit of contract, they are not immune to bargain hunting for the high-quality assets of the ‘Lower Republics’. Even if it is not as good as zero yuan, it is a clearance sale.

This time is a good opportunity to get involved in the economic lifeline of the lowlands.”

“gē gē gē then I’m welcome.”

Hearing that Alwin was willing to play with him, Liwena suddenly smiled.

Suddenly he remembered something and reminded him:

“By the way, Alwin, Mr. Memnon Watt sent a letter just now, he wants to make the [Truth Concrete] The promotion location is selected in the kingdom.

Complete the Perfection that manually promotes the Steam Industrial Revolution, so that you can use the power of [world favor] nearby.

I still remember that you promised me that as the [Jadeite] Corona] The price of that batch of treasure trees, when the kingdom has enough material reserves, you will help the kingdom build a new Legendary battleship for free, right (Chapter 619)?”

See Looking at Liwena’s expectant eyes, Alwin’s heart moved, and he already understood what Watt’s plan was.

‘Are you building a ship of the age of steam industry? ‘

Agreed:

“Okay, no problem, I just want to witness the birth of a [truth embodiment] with my own eyes.”

Bai Swan Castle.

The hot spring water introduced from “Pamukkale” flows “crash-bang”, and the translucent fish Water Element roams freely in the air.

Four smooth marble columns support the exquisite dome with a rising sense, the floor-to-ceiling mirror inlaid with gold, the swan-shaped brass water outlet and the lotus shower, every detail expresses indescribable described luxury.

It’s winter again.

Alwin and Olivia, who are accustomed to enjoying, soaked in the warm yellow marble circular bath, leisurely soaking in the hot spring.

“Alwin, I’ve never understood why in this bubble everyone is willing to pay for items that are clearly deviated from value?”

Stopping Aoli The grapes that Via slender jade hand brought to his mouth, Alwin shared with his wife a secret that may not even be understood by the gods for the time being:

“Hehe, the answer is what the people expect!

No matter whether you are a big capitalist or a proletarian.

The two major weaknesses of human nature are greed and fear, the former refers to blindly bullish expectations, the latter refers to blindly bearish expectations”

“Tulip” itself is just a symbol, which carries the confidence of speculators in the market, which can also be called “greedy expectation”.

Not just tulips, but many other objects can be exchanged for it.

Speculators all hope that the next trader will take over the ridiculously high price. Most traders lose the ability to objectively judge the value in the “booming environment”, but are willing to be fools.

It can be described by a simple “fighting theory”: in a series of drumming and passing flowers, what terrifying is not being a fool, but being the last fool himself, which can also be called “the theory of foolishness”.

“This is just the beginning, I dare say history will repeat itself again and again, and no one will learn from it.

When the next drumming begins, those ‘smart people’ What I will do is not to stay away from it, but to try my best not to be the last fool.

I will do a special course on ‘Tulip Bubble’ this time, and take it to the National University to give lectures, When the time comes, you can also listen to it.”

Some things, even if you don’t do it yourself, others will do it. Of course, the relevant talent pool is very necessary.

This one is a winner-take-all.

Even if the freedom of swinging the sword of the [Libra Balance Holy Sword] cannot be achieved, it is no longer the same as in the past, and you can swing a sword without the slightest hesitation.

And there are many things that can be done after obtaining a large amount of gold and silver reserves, but Alwin has more important things now.

“By the way, my little Hexie, I still remember we seemed to have made a bet?”

He wrapped his sweet wife’s soft waist in his arms. inside, letting her smooth white back rest on her firm chest, kissing her swan-like nape, glittering and translucent earlobes.

There is a dangerous hoarseness in the voice:

“I want to see you wear it”

The face of girl white jade is blushing, but there is no renege on a debt, with a low murmur of acquiescence.
