Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 831: Winner takes all
It is still the conference room of the "Eye of Fortune" headquarters building.
The aura is depressed, and the air is dignified, even the candlelight of the whale oil candle on the wall looks extremely dim.
"Vot it!"
The deep voice of Chairman William Orange reverberates in the spacious meeting room.
However.
Every Frisian present here is very clear about how important [Credit] is to themselves, to major institutions, and even to the nascent "Low Country".
In the past hundred years or so, behind the prosperity of trade and shipping in the Kingdom of Frisia, it was the reliable image of Frisian merchants that was shaped like gold!
All of this stems from a true story before the era of great navigation.
A Frisian captain named Barents and 17 sailors drove a merchant ship carrying the client’s cargo and was trapped on an island in the northern Icelandic country in the frozen sea.
I waited alone and helplessly for eight months.
During this period.
They dismantled the deck of the ship to make fuel in order to maintain their body temperature in the freezing temperature of minus 40 degrees. They hunted for fur and food that they barely survived.
In such terrible danger, 8 of them died one after another.
But these Frisians did something unimaginable to outsiders, and did not touch the goods entrusted to them by the guests, even if these goods contained clothing and medicine that could save their lives!
From winter to spring, the surviving crew finally took the cargo to the destination intact and delivered it to the client after untold hardships.
They used their lives as the price, adhered to their beliefs, and created the business rules that will be passed down to the future generations, which is also a precious wealth left to future generations.
At the time, such an approach also brought obvious benefits to them and all Frisians, that is, they won the world market of seaborne trade.
Obviously, no one can achieve success casually.
For businessmen in various countries, who is unwilling to hand over their goods to such a group of people who can protect it with their lives?
This is a story familiar to every Frisian since childhood, and it is even an important part of the soul-building process.
[Credit] is more important than gold!
If you lose [credit], what can be left of the lowlands with small land area, lack of resources, and even insufficient population?
So, although the tone was heavy, there were no surprises in the resolution.
"Pay the contract!"
"Secondary!"
"Secondary!"
Of course, profit-seeking is the nature and original sin of capital.
Even if it seconded the payment of the contract, it did not prevent the big figures here from secretly planning to start with the flower farmers and plantation owners.
It's not easy to move at this critical moment.
But as long as this turmoil is over, they have thousands of ways to use "legal" means to let the lucky nouveau riche spit out what they eat!
......
A farce lasted only a year before and after.
Although "Eye of Wealth" drew funds from branches in various countries, even sold high-quality assets around the world for cash out, and redeemed futures contracts, it was a complete end.
But this unprecedented bubble has also caused many banking groups and investment institutions to the extent that they are traumatized, and even relatively radical institutions have declared bankruptcy.
However, the subsequent impact is far more than that.
When the private capital was harvested, the upper-level institutions were also tortured.
A large amount of real money has flowed out of this country, and the major banks have had to shrink their money in the "Lower Republic".
[Money root]: Used to reflect the capital supply situation. 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 "shortage of money."
Even the precious metal money supply that people need in daily life has been affected.
Of course, since the Prime Minister Constance Harlan took office last year, the economic revitalization policy promulgated immediately became a dead letter.
This time the "tulip bubble" inevitably goes beyond the financial sector and transformed into an impact on the real economy!
Those craftsmen, farmers, and small factory owners who have received low-interest loans from banks will be unable to repay their debts, nor can they borrow new loans to repay the old.
A large wave of vigorous bankruptcies spread to the production field.
The economy of the "Low Country", which has just gained independence and is about to flourish, has been hit and hit hard.
The desolation of factories and the decline of people's livelihoods are destined to be a Great Depression that will last for many years.
The most important thing is...
The mundane world is bleak, and the extraordinary world can hardly be alone.
Crack...Crack...
With a few crisp noises in succession.
The cheek of the golden "Angel of Prosperity" idol in the Cathedral of Fortune suddenly cracked and opened two deep cracks, as if crying.
Even the golden paint on her body is mottled, exuding decay that cannot be concealed.
"God!"
"The All-Powerful God!"
"Prosperity Angel, Lord of Gold, Ruler of Capital..."
The crowd of priests kneeling on the ground were crying like mourning concubines.
Compared with the high spirits of the past few days, the situation is simply heaven and hell.
It is obvious that after the migration of the road, [Capital priest] became the "God of Capital and Wealth" of the main priesthood. Because of the heavy losses of domestic [Capital], it is impossible to escape the fate of being backlashed by [Capital].
The backlash comes from the [Capital] priesthood and the grievances of all the devastated believers!
Archbishop Barrett's body trembled slightly, and he didn't know the true situation of his own lord god.
But what he knows is that if he can't understand the nature of this incident, let the financial market have a random thunderstorm, and it will happen every three to five times in the future.
Don't say it is the king of the gods of this era, it is not impossible to be dragged down from the throne of the true god.
......
As opposed to the miserable wind and rain on the opposite side, it was the laughter and laughter on a port in the Kingdom of Falitis.
Boom——!
A large merchant ship approached the shore slowly, and the big winner in the group of "tulip bubbles", under the **** of the Falettis warship, joined the alliance in a fair manner.
No one is a fool. Most planters and flower farmers boarded the merchant ship sailing to the Tulip Alliance as soon as they received the final payment, and all the subsequent methods of the big capitalists were punched in the air. Place.
As for how many of these people have been replaced by [faceless people] at the beginning of the "tulip wave", only Ivan himself will know.
Slap! Snapped! Snapped! ...
Sitting in the vest of St. James's Palace, he patted his hands lightly and smiled at Livina, who was full of admiration beside him:
"My Majesty, since the Frisians have such a contractual spirit, they don’t guard against buying the high-quality assets of the ‘Lower Republic’. Even if it’s not comparable to a zero-dollar purchase, it’s a clearance sale level.
This is a good opportunity to step into the lifeline of the lowland economy. "
"Gluck...then I'm not welcome."
Livina smiled suddenly when he heard that Ivan was willing to bring herself to play with.
Suddenly remembered something, and reminded him:
"By the way, Ivan, Mr. Mennon Watt sent a letter just now that he wants to choose the place of promotion for [Concrete Truth] in the Kingdom.
Manually promote the successful completion of the steam industrial revolution, so that we can take advantage of the power of [world favor] nearby.
I still remember that you promised me that as the price of the [Emerald Corona] 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)? "
Looking at Livina's expectant eyes, Ivan's heart moved, and he already understood what Watt was planning.
‘Build a ship from the age of the steam industry? ’
Accepted in one fell swoop:
"Okay, no problem, I just want to witness the birth of a [Concretation of Truth] with my own eyes."
......
White Swan Castle.
The hot spring water introduced from "Pamukkale" flows "crashing", and the translucent fish and water elemental spirits roam freely in the air.
Four smooth marble pillars prop up the exquisite dome with a sense of rising. The floor-to-ceiling mirror inlaid with gold, the brass water outlet in the shape of a swan and the lotus shower, every detail expresses unspeakable luxury.
It's the winter of the year again.
Iwen and Olivia, who are used to enjoying themselves, soak in the round bath made of warm yellow marble, soaking in the hot springs leisurely.
"Aven, I have never figured out why everyone in this bubble is willing to pay for goods that are clearly deviated from value?"
I opened my mouth and ate the grapes Olivia's slender hand brought to her lips. Ivan took the time to share with his wife the secrets that may not even be understood by the gods for the time being:
"Hey, the answer is what the people expected!
Regardless of whether the identity is a big capitalist or a proletarian.
The two major weaknesses of human nature are greed and fear. The former refers to blind bullish expectations, and the latter refers to blind bearish expectations..."
The "tulip" itself is just a symbol. It carries the confidence of speculators in the market. It can also be called "greedy expectations."
Not only a tulip, but it can also be replaced with many other objects.
Speculators expect that the ridiculously high price will be taken over by the next trader. Most traders lose the ability to objectively judge the value in the "surge environment" ~ IndoMTL.com~ but are willing to be fools.
It can be described by a simple "fighting theory": in a series of drumming and spreading flowers, the scary thing is not to be a fool, but to be the last fool by yourself, which can also be called "the theory of fools."
"This time is just the beginning. I dare say that history will repeat itself again and again, and no one will learn from it.
When the next time drumming and spreading flowers begins, what those ‘smart people’ will do is not to stay away from it, but to try to prevent themselves from being the last fool.
I will make this ‘tulip bubble’ a special course and take it to the National University to give lectures, and then 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 simply a winner takes all.
Even if the freedom to swing the sword of the [Libra Balance Sacred Sword] cannot be realized, but it is no longer the same as in the past, and it can swing a sword without hesitation when it is time to shoot.
There are still many things that can be done after getting a large amount of gold and silver reserves, but Ivan now has more important things.
"By the way, my little Hessie, do I remember we made a bet?"
Slowly embrace her sweet wife in her arms, let her smooth and white back rest on her solid chest, and kiss her swan-like soft nape and crystal clear earlobes.
There is a dangerous hoarseness in the voice:
"I want to see you wear..."
The girl's white jade-like face was blushing, but she didn't make a mistake, and she whispered in a low voice like tacit approval.
