Power and Empire Chapter 3391: South of Thunder (22)
The storm set off by Socutus Delan in Lisbon can be said to be devastating. The chambers of commerce that monopolize the commercial roads in Lisbon can also be regarded as the most powerful chambers of commerce in Lisbon, otherwise it would not be possible to monopolize this A golden business road, but in front of the imperial bank, with just a small touch, it is already defeated, not to mention that other major chambers of commerce have chosen to sever ties with these major chambers of commerce in order not to be affected. For the several large chambers of commerce that had been exhausted because of the Yelv family's liberalization of commerce, it was the last straw that crushed the camel!
"What the **** is going on, what does the Imperial Bank mean, what does that crazy woman mean!"
In the lobby of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged person with a desperate popularity pressed a notice on the table, his face was dead gray, just in front of the trading hall that just opened this morning, in the golden sunrise Next, the bulletin board used to make announcements in the past has been surrounded by densely packed people. A notice with the seal of the Imperial Bank is posted in the most eye-catching position. The content on it caused a sensation throughout Lisbon. In the past, it was rarely seen. The Imperial Bank issued a very strict notice this time. It said that because some of the merchants had trade frauds, the Imperial Bank would withdraw their loans, and the Azure Chamber of Commerce is listed here.
Socutus Delan deserves to have been in the business alliance for several years. She has a good understanding of these powerful and wealthy businessmen. She hit the dead spot of these big chambers of commerce that can monopolize a business line. It was just one morning. Before these major chambers of commerce had time to react, they fell into a situation where all the relatives left. The president of the Azure Chamber of Commerce almost fainted when he saw the announcement.
"Azurite Chamber of Commerce is over!"
The President of the Chamber of Commerce Spike’s face is as gray as a frost-beaten eggplant. There is a bit of domineering and domineering of the President of the Chamber of Commerce, not to mention that he stood in the same position a day ago. The face proudly announced to the merchants in Lisbon that the Blue Chamber of Commerce had received a loan from the Imperial Bank, so that the merchants in Lisbon knew that even the monopoly of the China-Belarus Commercial Road was broken, even the major chambers of commerce encircled and suppressed. , The Azur Chamber of Commerce still holds the dominant power of most of the commodities in the China-Bialand trade line,
This is only one day, why did it become like this
The attitude of the Imperial Bank is almost a big turn of 720 degrees. Although this announcement has no official effect, it does not mean that the Imperial Bank will take punitive measures against several chambers of commerce. In a sense, , It’s just a notice to withdraw investment. If it’s just taking back the loan, it won’t make the president of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, who has seen strong winds and waves, be so gloomy. After all, they are all powerful large chambers of commerce. It’s impossible just because of a sum of money The loan was taken back and completely collapsed. What really made the president of the Azur Blue Chamber of Commerce despair was the reason mentioned in the notice
There is fraudulent trade!
Isn’t this nonsense? How do businessmen make money without cheating? The so-called huge profits are not equal in themselves. He doesn’t believe that the Imperial Bank would not know this, but this is the most deadly and well-knowing thing. , Must be unveiled in public, and the meaning is completely different. This announcement was issued by the Imperial Bank. It seems to be an official announcement in the eyes of the imperial merchants. The Bilan Chamber of Commerce is facing the header of fraudulent trade. Who would dare to do business with the Bilan Chamber of Commerce? , And the imperial bank’s behavior of taking back the loan within one day also shows that the imperial bank is not optimistic about the future of these chambers of commerce
"We request Miss Socutus Della in front of you!"
"As for the matter in the notice, we believe that it is just a misunderstanding. We can explain it. As long as the notice can be withdrawn, it is even possible to re-negotiate the interest rate of the loan." In the Lisboa branch of the Imperial Bank, several notices The president of the Chamber of Commerce named excitedly said that in other places, they may be wealthy merchants with strong business and financial resources, but in front of the business queen of Socutus Delan, they found that they were not much more vulnerable than a baby. The Imperial Bank wants to destroy itself without a finger, or even just a sneeze on them, which can wipe out their business kingdom in just one morning
"Sorry everyone, Miss Socutus is not in the branch at the moment"
The deacon of the Imperial Bank branch who was in charge of receiving them said calmly, and his eyes swept over these battered wealthy merchants. The heart of the deacon of the Imperial Bank root could not help but touched, Miss Socutus Dailan’s This time the shot is really something that makes people feel unsure. Just yesterday at noon, Miss Socutus Delan returned to the branch from outside, and then she wrote down the original of this notice by herself, and got it at the time. At the time of the announcement, the head of the branch was also stunned for several seconds before cautiously asking, "Does this announcement need to be posted?
"Tomorrow will be the most crowded Wednesday in the trade hall, right?" Socutus Dailan's long black and smooth hair is slanting behind her ears, and her jade-like face is very cold and beautiful
"Yes, every Wednesday is the time when the merchant fleet docks. Tomorrow happens to be Wednesday." The branch deacon took a deep breath. He was also very confused. Since the business queen took over the Imperial Bank, it seems that Rarely will take measures directly against a large chamber of commerce, and this time it is the first time that Socutus Delan has targeted the chamber of commerce in two years.
"Then post it on the bulletin board in front of the Lisbon Tortoise Trade Hall tomorrow." Socutus Delane flashed her eyes, raised her chin, and handed the notice to the deacon of the branch.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely post it in the most noticeable place in front of the trade hall." The deacon glanced at the content of the announcement and his eyes lit up. Since Yelvjia announced the liberalization of trade restrictions during the annual meeting At that moment, the war clarion call for the Sino-Bahia trade route was sounded, and the powerful chambers of commerce began to look at the Sino-Bahia trade route. A large amount of funds poured in, and the number of caravans soared by three in a month. Times, this is not even the small-scale scattered wandering merchants. These chambers of commerce had finally managed to obtain loans from the Imperial Bank to stabilize the situation. Who knew this would be the result, even Suoku, who had close ties with the top leaders of the Empire. Miss Tusdelan showed her disapproval of these chambers of commerce. It was just a gesture that fell in the eyes of other caring people. Miss Delan’s announcement that seemed painless and not itchy was actually compared. The real sword is even more cruel,
I don’t know where these big chambers of commerce provoke Miss Socutus Delan! Miss Delan, who hasn't revealed the Thunder's means for nearly two years, released this announcement that can be described as a lore.
You must know that, compared to the state-level strategic financial behemoth of Imperial Bank, these so-called Lisbon trustees are too inconspicuous. Even if they are, it is also for Miss Socutus Delan. It’s just a bigger ant. The main customers of the Imperial Bank have never been these ordinary merchants. They are either the top royal family in each country or a powerful man who holds a party of authority. Therefore, the imperial bank’s notoriety is not obvious in the empire, on the contrary. It can be said to be so famous in other countries, which also gave the empire these large chambers of commerce an illusion
That is, although the Imperial Bank has been established for more than a year, Socutus Delan is in charge of the Imperial Bank as a woman, and the only thing he can do seems to be lending, without the slightest bit of hardship, it seems that the former business alliance The thirteenth deacon who has changed the most fascination, after taking charge of the Imperial Bank, suddenly became unknown! But at this moment, just a notice has turned Lisbon upside down, and the battle for the trade route between China and Bahrain, which has already dyed half of the empire, has been supported by several major chambers of commerce for a month. Finally, it is at the Imperial Bank. This announcement completely collapsed!
This is the power of the Imperial Bank. For the entire Lisboa, a random blow is an earthquake
The last afterglow of the sunset has disappeared, and the beautiful night comes quietly, and the brilliant stars begin to bloom with silver light. The starry sky in April is like a huge inverted black night sky. It is the time when the distant Andromeda constellation is the brightest. Lisboa, known as the city that never sleeps, is also lively at this time, in the large square of the pier. There were all kinds of people. There are businessmen who have just arrived, there are also foreigners who look confused, some come to pick up people, some come to give people away, sailors in uniforms, guards with closed lips, and workers following the carriage of goods. And there are kids jumping and jumping
In the port tavern, a young man with flax hair was sitting by the window, watching the sailors on the opposite table wringing their wrists, and couldn’t help uttering bursts of applause. The black dress is just right on the body. There is a silver olive branch hanging on the shoulders. The thin square face is capable, but the light from the two eyes is very old and cautious. There are faint wrinkles on the corners of the eyes and on the forehead. This face , It’s not so handsome, but it’s not ugly. At first glance, you will think he is just an ordinary manager, but in those eyes, there is a strong ambition, giving people a kind of flame. Even the sturdy tavern maid’s affectionate gaze in the tavern from time to time swept over the man who came here every day on credit. If it hadn’t been for someone to say hello, he would have beaten this guy who ate a lot, and then Throw it on the street, I heard that this guy with a southern accent is a smuggling ship owner from the south, but I don’t know who offended the ship. The ship was detained by the Imperial Navy, so this guy ran here every day and sat every time. In that position by the window, someone said that this guy was going to take advantage of the imperial navy’s attention and **** the ship out of the imperial navy’s dock
"Arturo, when will you give your wine money?" someone asked jokingly
"I will give it to you when I have money, and I won't owe you." The man smirked. The latter sentence is obviously superfluous,
"I heard that you have been to many places in Southern Europe?" A black-haired young man walked into the pub and sat down opposite the man, seemingly inadvertently
"Yes."
"Have you been to Martin Liya, I heard that the Martin Liya people in the south are very savage and brutal?"
"Cruelity is not counted, at best it is upright." Mentioned Martin Liya, the man’s eyes were a little bright, and his mouth said indifferently, "In fact, those who have been to Martin Liya know that Martin Liya is a person. It’s quite hospitable. If you are their best friend, you can even be greeted by their wives, but you’re just not friendly to the merchants. Those merchants who sell things from here to there just change a place. The price is deliberately too high, what is the difference from a liar!"
"This insight is quite interesting! But if it's not good, who would transport things from here to there?" The black-haired young man raised his hand and asked the maid to bring two glasses of malt beer, this kind of rye. Beer is very popular in the hands of the water in Lisbon, and the black-haired youth pushes a glass of rye beer in front of the man
"In fact, it's okay to make some money, but to deliberately cheat people in order to make money, that's really **** it, just like some nasty guy." The man picked up the wine glass and drank it, still touching it. Put the corner of the mouth
"Should that annoying guy isn't an ordinary person? "The young man with black hair smiles at the corner of his mouth." Sometimes it is necessary to take some measures to achieve a certain purpose, right? "The black-haired young man looked through the window with deep eyes and looked at the sea in the dark ahead. The white wavy waterline can also see the white foam in the dark
"I do not reject means, but means are also mean and noble." The man's eyes flickered~IndoMTL.com~for the first time, he slightly frowned and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, holding the wine glass hand suddenly. It tightened, breathing even became a little short, after looking around, he hesitated and said, "Is Charlene asking you to come to me?"
"Charlene? Is it?" The black-haired young man smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and placed a finger-sized triangle emerald green logo on the table. "This is a token found by Charlene, I believe you should Know what this is, right"
"Oh, is there a problem?" The man's gaze fell on the azure blue marker, and his face curled his lips in an unusually calm expression. "I'm not a fool, so I got on the smuggling ship that came to the empire so smoothly, and Still within that person’s sphere of influence, delicious food and drink along the way, accompanied by beautiful women, I am not afraid to tell you that I did it on purpose, otherwise, I am afraid that if I cannot reach the empire, I will be killed on the way. "
"Haha, if you are as upright as you were just now, I will choose to leave. Now, I am interested in talking to you." The black-haired young man's mouth laughed.
"Yeah, I also want to say, I am Martin Liya people are not cruel and savage, at least compared with your Excellency, there is no more cruel and savage in this Oubaro!" The man looked on I have never seen the look of such a shameless person
