"What about the Spaniards' own country? There is nothing left in the country except inflation, the common people are still poor, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and the country's industry and commerce are still backward.

What's the problem? The problem lies in the system, the Spanish royal power and aristocratic privileges have suppressed private industry and commerce, so that the country's economy has not developed, and finally the country's talents have flowed into foreign countries like plundered gold and silver. ”

Of course, the Spaniards still have a considerable amount of gold and silver dedicated to God, and the religious fervor of the Spaniards is not ordinarily high, not ordinarily religious. Therefore, even if the Spaniards still control large colonies in South and North America and still have great wealth, the hegemony of the Spaniards cannot last. ”

Sun Lao added next to him.

At this time, Lao Ba said:

"So, Elder Sun, I think the Dutch can cooperate with us, at least ideologically we are very close, not to mention that the Dutch are smart, as a weak nation, a small lowland country surrounded by strong enemies, can fight to this point, without the ability to judge the situation, how to dominate the ocean?"

Sun Lao nodded in agreement and responded:

"Well, Lao Ba, what you said makes sense, the Dutch are also a great nation, look at the Netherlands, there are no natural resources for natural resources, and there is not much population for the population, and finally it can develop to this extent, which is very remarkable, the Netherlands is a small country, and you must be careful in governing the country, after all, such a small country has a very low fault tolerance rate under the condition of being looked around by the great powers......"

Sun Lao continued:

"Now I will tell you my observations, and I have found that for the Portuguese, they need both the banking and financial services of the Dutch, and they are very entangled in the fear that the Dutch will control them."

"Elder Sun, I heard that the two sides are often in a state of hostility, aren't these Portuguese afraid that the Dutch will hack their deposits?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu He's eyes changed when he looked at Boss Xiao Han, Xiao Han knew this kind of look, it was the eyes of a fool, and his eyes were full of sympathy.

At this time, Sun Lao smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it won't be dark, if it is hacked this time, the Dutchman's bank and aunt will collapse, and it will collapse forever, because the credit is gone."

So even when the relationship between the two sides was tense, the Dutch were still open to the Portuguese, for example, when the Dunno tribe attacked the Portuguese stronghold of Oecussi a while ago, when Portugal and the Netherlands were on the verge of war, right?

But the Dutch's bank in Kupang was also open to the Portuguese, and the Dutch knew that the money Pimont had withdrawn from their bank was used to buy weapons to support Ou Cusi, but there was no hindrance, was it strange? After all, the two countries are rivals, right?

Hehe, it's not surprising at all, that's exactly what makes the Dutch great!

The Dutch have a famous saying – take care of your business.

During the Dutch War of Independence, the Dutch fought to the death with the Spanish army on the front line, and the deposits of the Spanish treasury in the Bank of Amsterdam could still flow in and out without hindrance, and the Dutch ** and the citizens did not accuse the bankers of Amsterdam of being traitors at all, do you know why?

Because, there is a bottom line to be a bank - the bank only has a relationship with the head of the household, and does not participate in the political game between countries, and no political power can interfere with the banking business!

For banks, that's the biggest politics! So Xiao Han, I don't know if you want to understand? ”

Han Lotian listened to the silence for a moment and replied:

"Yes, business is business, and taking care of your own business is really the foundation of the Dutch! And what is commendable is that the Dutch did take care of their banking business through this.

That's right, opening a bank is equivalent to borrowing someone else's money to do your own thing, if I write an IOU with this sentence: If you offend me in the future, I won't pay back the money, then who will lend me money? In that case, how do I open a bank?

Similarly, if banking is affected by national geopolitics or court struggles, who can trust banks? Who would dare to deposit money in a bank and leave it to a group of strangers for safekeeping? ”

Yu Hewei patted Han Letian on the shoulder and said that Boss Xiao Han is worthy of being a smart person who can engage in financial business by using the purchase and sale of department stores, and he can really get through it at one point.

So, the Dutch are giving a positive propaganda to the whole of Europe - the Dutch don't even hack the money of the enemy country in a state of war, they will follow commercial principles, and with such a high credit rating, will they hack the money of the people of other countries? Will they hack the money of their own people? This is one of the reasons why, of course, the Netherlands is now the financial centre of all of Europe.

At this time, Sun Lao also nodded in agreement and said:

"Well, Xiaoyu, what you said is, otherwise, the monarchs of Europe will not tolerate the existence of this merchant country, don't forget, the money of these kings and nobles is also stored in the banks of the Dutch, and the kings also fight to the death on weekdays, and they also need an intermediary to keep their property, so in Europe, from top to bottom, they consciously do not touch this bottom line---- bank neutrality.

Oh, by the way, one more thing to tell you, not only does the Duchess want us to open a branch on the island of Timor, but Pimont also wants to take a stake, and of course, the matter of taking a stake in our bank is very important, and it needs to be discussed and approved by all shareholders, I don't know what your opinion is......"

Yu Hewei immediately responded:

"This is a good thing, don't worry, Elder Sun, I very much support the Duchess and Pimont to take shares, in addition, I have no problem with letting Pimont bring in the Guth merchants, after all, we are strong, and they can't control the shares, in fact, even if the Dutch want to take shares, I myself welcome ......"

"I just don't know what everyone's opinion is, finance is the core of the modern economic system, shouldn't this core be in our hands......"

Han Lotte Games said worriedly.

"Of course, the financial industry must be in our hands, but control is not a refusal to cooperate, let alone eating alone! Otherwise, it won't be big, right?

To do great things, we must have an international vision, how can we make our career bigger if we are not big-minded? To be honest, I still want to live the addiction of controlling the global financial predators in this life! If I don't use our advantages to engage in global financial hegemony in this era, what is the difference between that and salted fish! ”

Lao Ba replied categorically.

What was the follow-up of the conversation between several people was not followed at that time, because everyone was making some very basic preparations at that time, but the business trip of Lao Ba and Xiao Han Boss was decided.

However, President Yu didn't make it, he wanted to go out and see the new world, but the fund council disagreed, on the grounds that your current work is very important, and the basic business of setting up a federal savings committee is too much and too technical, and you can't do without it for the time being, so let's talk about it later......

As it turned out, the establishment of the Federal Reserve Board and the creation of all the financial systems associated with it laid a cornerstone for the subsequent world financial system, which had a profound impact on the history of the New World.

Of course, the most important financial institution in the history of the founding of the Australian Commonwealth was founded with only two members and these few commanders on the board of directors.

Subsequently, after some calculations, the board of directors of the "Beishang Fund" allocated 100,000 taels of silver start-up capital to "Aofa", and at the same time injected new loan reserves - 50,000 taels of silver into Xiaohan's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

Afterwards, Yu Hewei, on behalf of the Board of Governors of the Fund, explained at a regular meeting of the Senate that the purpose of this was to allow the two banks to start their business and compete commercially.

Anyway, with his own stage for trading, the excited Ba Fengtian soon began to act.

Although the Australian Development Bank is a commercial bank, it has the right to issue currency, and Lao Ba estimated that in the initial stage, it would be enough to issue 10,000 taels of silver for a meal.

At this point, Lao Ba and Han Letian also reached an agreement - the main task at present is to vigorously promote paper money, laying the foundation for the future Australian federal financial system, and the current scope of paper money implementation is only in Mornington Island, involving little area, a total of only 10,000 people, according to the current level of acceptance, the issuance of 10,000 taels of silver banknotes is enough.

Yu He named this banknote "Australian dollar", and the anchor ingot of the banknote is gold and silver, so it is the gold and silver standard, so the Australian dollar is also called "gold Australian dollar" (or silver Australian dollar).

Regarding the gold (silver) content of paper money---- this is another professional issue, so Yu He Wei convened a meeting of shareholders to discuss, as usual, Sun Lao presided over, and the discussion topic was the gold content of paper money, the face value and if the coin was issued, the proportion of gold, silver and copper, etc.
