1191 Monopoly Tendency
"Everybody get up. Get up and talk about it. Shang Wen said again. The bankers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally had to stand up.
"Let's sit down first." Shang Wen had just sent Han Shu away. Now it's dealing with these things non-stop. Shang Wen suddenly felt so tired. The tired Shang Wen was a little out of breath.
"Drink something? Tea, or any other drink," Shang Wen asked.
"Nope. No. The banker refused.
"Let's make tea, then." Shang Wen said at this time. And Yingyu turned around and commanded the assistant outside the house at this time.
"You can sit down too." Shang Wen beckoned Yingyu to sit down.
"I know your situation. I'm also very worried. Shang Wen said.
"Thank you Prime Minister for your concern." Bankers said.
"But. There's nothing I can do about it. It's true. I am not responsible for this matter, and besides, the king has already appointed a candidate. This plan was formulated by the king himself, and the princess and I are also trying to find a way to bypass this plan. But at the moment, there is no way to do it. Shang Wen said very frankly.
And the bankers were like a bolt from the blue. Everyone froze, unable to recover from the news.
"I'm sorry." Shang Wen continued.
"Prime Minister, you must think of a way. We know you have a way. You must save us. At this point, the bankers fell to their knees again.
"Everyone, get up." Shang Wen said at this time.
"I'm sorry everyone, I really can't help it." Shang Wen looked helplessly at the bankers who fell to the ground at this time.
"I know it's difficult for everyone. But, now, there's really no way. Shang Wen said very frankly.
"This is the king's commandment. I'll figure it out, though. Shang Wen said at this time.
But these words pale in comparison. The bankers also knew that the current prime minister was very absent, and even the King of Qin had lost his trust in Shangwen. This made them feel very helpless.
After being dissuaded for a long time. Shang Wen and Ying Yu sent the bankers away.
Shang Wen sat on the sofa with a headache. Yingyu sat opposite.
"It's too late. You'd better rest early. Shang Wen said at this time.
"At this point, Xianyang Palace has long been closed." Yingyu said at this time.
"Today, I'll stay with you." Yingyu said at this time.
"Okay. Anyway, I'm such a big place. You come here, you can only sleep on the sofa. Shang Wen said at this time.
"You don't even have a camp bed, do you?" Yingyu said at this time.
"Nope." Shang Wen said at this time.
"Only the sofa. I usually spend the night on the couch. Shang Wen said at this time.
"You're living a terrible life." Yingyu said.
And Shang Wen just smiled slightly.
"Usually it's just me. In addition, the usual things are really too busy. There are a lot of things in the Qin State that I urgently need to deal with. There is no way. Shang Wen said.
"I've never slept more than six hours a day." Shang Wen waved his arm and said.
"You're busier than my father." Yingyu said at this time.
"Let's just put it that way." Shang Wen said at this time.
"To be honest, I don't want to be this prime minister. It's so tiring. Shang Wen said.
"The situation is beyond my control, I'm just a researcher of weapons, a study of national politics, these things, I can't get them." Shang Wen said.
"You want to give up." Yingyu said.
"Yes. Abandon. Shang Wen said with some frustration.
"This is not my previous Shangwen, who was very energetic and optimistic." Yingyu said at this time.
"Now, he's a little depressed, negative. Not so rosy. Yingyu said.
"He's so tired." Yingyu continued.
"So, he needs to rest now. Go to bed early, nerd. Yingyu said at this time.
"Okay." Shang Wen said. Han Shu's departure made Shang Wen feel very uncomfortable, plus the bankers who had just left. Shang Wen felt that he was very tired right now. I was so tired that I didn't know what to do.
As he spoke, Shang Wen lay on the sofa. Yingyu covered Shangwen with a quilt and blanket. And Yingyu sat quietly beside Shang Wen. And Shang Wen had already closed his eyes.
"This guy. There's been a lot going on lately. Too much of it took him breathless. He was so tired. Yingyu said in her heart.
And now no one can sympathize with him. My father doesn't know what's wrong. It felt as if I didn't trust Shang Wen anymore. Yingyu thought to herself.
And inside the Xianyang Palace. Meng Yi was making a report to King Qin overnight. of the programme was implemented. And according to this plan scheme. The biggest beneficiary is the Crown Bank. And the controller of the royal bank is the king of Qin. King Qin had quite a lot of gold in his hands.
Shang Wen wishfully believes that the peg between gold and paper money has been abolished, but in reality, gold is naturally money. Gold is a naturally hard currency, even now. And the king of Qin collected gold on a large scale from the beginning of the war, and after collecting this gold. On the basis of this gold, the royal bank was established. This led to the fact that the Royal Bank was founded with this hard currency of gold. This made the royal bank very strong.
However, when it comes to business development. The Crown Bank lags significantly behind the rest of the banks. Because of the special shareholders of the Royal Bank. King Qin is the largest shareholder. In order to guarantee a reasonable income for the royal family, they must fully consider the safety of their funds. As a result, it is impossible for the Crown Bank to engage in very large ventures like other banks. Even if there is, it can only be done to a limited extent. In the matter of foreign investment, because of the particularity of the royal bank, the royal bank does not carry out the operation of foreign capital. Contrary. Most of the money of the royal bank was spent in Qin, especially in some of the newly established states, where the royal bank was more invested than any other bank. This is the meaning of the King of Qin, and it is also the order of the King of Qin.
It is precisely because of this that the Royal Bank does not have the scale of Wenyang Bank. Most of the main income of Wenyang Bank comes from venture capital, and the risk is also large, and the income is also large. That's how big Wenyang Bank is. But the danger is also great. Today, this has happened. The Crown Bank has the potential to take its place. This is a very high possibility.
In fact, King Qin had long been dissatisfied with such a practice.
"The money of my Qin State. Why do you want to help the construction of the six countries. Railways, iron works. These are all funded by my Qin State to help them build. It's weird, too. "King Qin was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. All, he has instructed, it is best to take advantage of an opportunity to replace Wenyang Bank, even if his daughter's bank blocks the interests of the Qin State, the King of Qin still will not agree.
It is for these reasons. King Qin did just that. With the help of this plan, he wants to take out Wenyang Bank, let the Royal Bank replace Wenyang Bank, and merge a large number of small and medium-sized banks at the same time. In order to determine the status of the Qin royal bank in the Qin state, and control these, the royal bank can control the financial power of the Qin state.
It can be said that King Qin knows what he is doing very well. What he meant was that he wanted the royal bank of Qin to grow into the central bank of Qin, while defeating some of its main rivals. Monopolize the entire banking business and become a bank with absolute power in the Qin state. This power is that the royal bank has a monopoly and absolute position.
And the system of free competition advocated by Shang Wen. This idea of King Qin has been seriously blocked. Therefore, King Qin directly did not let Shang Wen interfere in this matter.
However, this has become a trend, and the development of the liberal economy of the Qin State inevitably brings monopoly. And the first place where monopolies appeared was the banks. Because banks come in fast and run fast. Fierce competition can easily lead to monopoly. Only monopolies can produce more benefits. Obviously, the King of Qin had seen the existence of such interests.
And Shang Wen also saw it. However, he was wary of Wenyang Bank, and Shangwen thought that Yingyu's bank was very large. He wanted to harness the power of the tax bill. Dismantling the Wenyang financial system. The system is huge. Shangwen needs to be disassembled into several large pieces. Shang Wen was planning, but he paid too much attention to Wenyang Bank and ignored the existence of the Royal Bank. At the same time, he underestimated the power of gold. This is a direct result of the current situation.
Shang Wen was directly confused by the prosperity of the financial system. He had no defense against real danger. And Meng Yi's plan happened to be in line with the interests of King Qin at this time, driven by King Qin's absolute power. This programme has been implemented.
For this scenario. Meng Yi thinks that it is reasonable, he thinks from the perspective of the country, and Shangwen also looks at it from the perspective of the country, but from a long-term perspective. Shang Wen believes that if the financial system wants to develop healthily, monopoly must not appear. Even if there is a monopoly, the necessary competition will still emerge.
What Shangwen avoids is excessive monopoly. And the idea of King Qin and the idea of Shang Wen are in conflict.
But in this case, Qin's financial industry already had to make adjustments.
Behind the rapid development of the Qin State. It is the rapid development and support of Qin's financial industry. But now, Qin's overall economic growth has slowed down for many reasons, but the most important one is that Qin's financial system is unable to provide enough financial support. It was such a lack of financial support that caused the Qin state to lack sufficient motivation to move on. To some extent, King Qin's ideas followed the tide of history. And Shangwen's approach is changing the tide. Shang Wen's approach is wrong.
And Shang Wen only looks at the problem from the perspective of freedom, which is inevitably a bit extreme. The monopoly of the Qin State was unavoidable.
