Chapter Ninety-Three: Cooperation
"Okay!" A word popped out of Ruud's butler's mouth, and he agreed to Eugen without hesitation.
"Huh?" Eugen himself was a little confused, he thought that after the Ruud butler heard this condition, he would have to discuss it with Viscount Pigard before considering it. As a result, he opened his mouth and agreed, which caught Eugen a little off guard.
"Are you sure? Ruud butler. I want an unrestricted trade licence signed by the Duke of Wittelsbach himself and valid throughout Bavaria. In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, Eugen deliberately emphasized the details, wanting to attract the attention of Ruud's butler.
As a result, Ruud's butler agreed faster than last time: "No problem, these can be handled for the earl immediately, and there will be the duke's signature on them." ”
Then, as if he was worried that Eugen would repent, he hurriedly said: "Then it is decided, Lord Earl, I will go back to report to Master Pigard, and these conditions and things you want will be delivered to you one by one." ”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, as if he was afraid that Eugen would eat him.
Seeing Ruud's butler striding open the door and leaving, Eugen raised his head backwards, looked at Margaret behind him and smiled bitterly: "What, do I want less?" Look at Rude's housekeeper's appearance, it's like picking up a big bargain. ”
Outside the door, Rude's butler had a smug smile on his face, and thought with a little contempt: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that what he wanted was a trade license, what a hillbilly, if you want to do business, isn't that the same thing?" Our Wittelsbach family has been in business for hundreds of years, can we still be overwhelmed by him in business? ”
After Margaret's explanation, Eugen knew that he had really lost money.
Originally, if you wanted to conduct commercial activities in the Bavarian princely state, you could do not have that kind of trade license, and the local aristocracy did not have any restrictions on commercial activities. Neither arms nor sea salt do not require a license, and they can be sold at will.
After all, the arms of this era are just some ordinary swords, guns and armor, and the people in the inland generally have sweets, so these two are not in short supply. The only licenses used are special and precious items, such as velvets, oriental porcelain, jewelry, and the like, and there is a kind of attitude towards these goods.
In this way, Eugen's proposal for a trade license, even if it is unlimited, would seem somewhat unclear and even stupid. After all, even the right to mint is now open, and the business environment can be said to have the widest range of freedoms.
Eugen learned of these things from Margaret's mouth, and Eugen's eyes lit up, and he cried out excitedly in his heart: "Heaven, this is heaven!" ”
Eugen finally understood that the most precious thing in his mind at the moment was not the way guns and ammunition were manufactured, nor the ability to predict historical events, but the most superficial and most advanced capital operation concept for the current era!
The whole continent of Europe, in Eugen's eyes, was a whole medium-rare steak, already drizzled with sauce in front of him. And the concept of capital operation in his mind is the sharpest knife and fork, with the help of this sharp weapon, his future is simply limitless.
Thinking of this, Eugen smiled on his face, grinning and happy for a while.
Margaret looked at Eugen, who kept giggling, and wondered if Eugen was a little delirious when he learned the truth.
"Alas, a trade permit makes you so happy. Come on, I'll write a letter to my grandfather and ask him to sign one for you too, if you need it. In order to stop Eugen's silly smile, Margaret put her right hand on her forehead and said helplessly.
Margaret, Ruud Butler, and all the big names of this era, they may not understand why Eugen is so happy, and they may have some contempt for Eugen.
They can't be blamed for that, it's not that they're not smart enough or short-sighted. The root cause is simply the limitations of their time, which makes it impossible for them to know and understand the power of the terrible, incomparably powerful ---- capital.
Capital accumulation, financing, investment, credit system, shareholding system, etc. The simplest words in Eugen's mind, as well as the few lines that explain the process of capital operation, are in fact the essence of the whole of modern Europe for hundreds of years, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people, and it can even be said that it is the greatest wisdom born in the whole world.
Once this power is formed, Eugen can truly turn his hands into clouds and rain on his hands. He can easily destroy a country's economy, beating an army of millions, or he can make an industry move forward in an instant, so that everyone can contribute to the industry.
"Hahaha, mine, all the gold coins are mine. The Rothschilds, the Waltons, the Arab royal family, even if you can grow gold in the ground, you can't compare to one ten-thousandth of mine. I, Wang Shaoyu, am really a big man who wants to stand on top of the world, hahahaha. ”
Eugen roared wildly in his heart, and he was so excited that he even accidentally said his real name, but fortunately no one could hear his inner shout.
Hearing that Margaret was also going to give him a trade license, Eugen nodded in surprise. From this point of view, if nothing else, he was able to obtain a trade permit from all over Europe with ease. In the near future, the tentacles of capital will spread to every corner of Europe, and he will become the uncrowned king of all Europe!
Seeing that Eugen still couldn't calm down, Margaret reminded him loudly: "Eugen, although you have received a lot of benefits from Viscount Pigard, you also have to be careful of Viscount Tariq, he is known as the 'Wolf Lord' in the Empire, and it is not easy for you to be an enemy of him. ”
Eugen looked at Margaret, took two deep breaths and finally stopped laughing, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't plan to fight him head-on from the beginning, I have my own way, I can make his threat to me completely disappear in silence." ”
Hearing Eugen's words, Margaret covered her small mouth in surprise and said in an incredulous tone, "You, you're going to poison him?" ”
It's no wonder that Margaret thinks so, it's just that Eugen is too general and easy to misunderstand.
Eugen patted Margaret's head with doting when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" Am I Eugen like that? Of course, I will use the right method to convince Tariq of the loss. ”
With Eugen's assurance, Margaret relieved her heart, but she didn't care about Eugen's gesture of patting her head.
