"It's not an option. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Kai said as he looked at his watch. Four hours have passed since they attacked. The sky lit up slightly. They were only supported by two platoons of about one platoon nearby.

"The people of the Western Regions were very frightened by our beating, and they hid in the mountains and refused to come out." Li Kai said.

"I think that's a good situation as well. At the very least, we don't have to worry about them rushing out all at once. Our bullets may not be enough. Zhao Jin, a second lieutenant officer who came to support, said.

Li Kai just nodded, expressing his agreement with what Zhao Jin said.

After a night of fighting. Li Kai had destroyed most of the munitions and vehicles, and he had already written a report on the course of the operation. It's very simple, just a general introduction to the causes of some things, and the results that have gone through the current situation. They expelled the people of the Western Regions into the Tianshan Mountains, so that they could not enter the desert, but because of the large number of opponents, it was impossible to completely annihilate them by relying on the superiority of weapons alone. For this reason, Li Kai could only stop the attack on the spot and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Is there a casualty report?" Li Kai asked, a private. The private shook his head and said no, the battle was fierce, and the soldiers were a little tired. Li Kai understands this, after all, many soldiers are like this. The advantage of the Qin army is not only weapons, in Li Kai's opinion, but also morale, these Hun soldiers are very brave in battle, they are not afraid of death, bravely charged. They see war as a kind of business, as a kind of fun, which is very similar to Qin Jun, his fathers are like this, they are often very excited when they hear the news of war, but now, this excitement has decreased a lot, and many people are greedy for money. This is a point where the Qin State is changing.

"Sir." Just as Li Kai was thinking about these questions, the private reported.

"Sir, our casualty report is out." Said a corporal with a bandage on his head.

"Are you alright?" Li Kai asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's been grazed by a flying bullet. Bandaged it and nothing happened. The corporal reported.

"Hmm. Where is Zhao Xin? Li Kai asked.

"Why didn't he come?" Li Kai asked.

"Sir, this, our sir, something is wrong." The corporal replied.

"What's the problem?" Li Kai asked.

"He's dead." The corporal replied.

Li Kai was a little confused, he didn't expect Zhao Xin to die.

"That's not true." Li Kai was a little incredulous.

"Sir, it's true, I know, you're a little hard to understand, but that's the way it is." The corporal said, waving his arm.

"He's good, but he's a little too reckless. Punched too hard. The Westerners shot him in the lungs with a musket, and we couldn't save him, sir, as you know, the musket has a large caliber of bullets, and once shot, this. "The corporal was a little sad. He knew that there were some words that could not be expressed in words. It's really hard for him to explain such a situation.

"I understand." Li Kai restrained himself.

"I understand. I understand you very well. Li Kai endured the pain, although he didn't stay with him for a long time, but overall, this person was not bad.

"Tell me about the casualties." Li Kai asked.

"Ten killed. Two were seriously injured, and the rest were all lightly injured. The corporal said.

"Oh." Li Kai was a little surprised.

"Good. You guys take a break. Li Kai said.

"Yes, sir." The corporal nodded and left.

"Wait." At this time, Li Kai stopped the other party.

"What's the matter, sir?" The corporal asked, turning around.

"You're doing a good job, you're doing a great job." Li Kai praised.

"Thank you, sir." The corporal nodded.

"Hmm. Very good. Li Kai encouraged. He knew his people were doing a good job.

Thirty-five miles to the west, Newton heard reports of fighting in the vicinity.

"Can you be sure?" Newton asked.

"Yes, sir. The situation is very certain, and two of our squads have been transferred to support. A private reported.

"Hmm." Newton nodded.

"Everyone prepares, we go to support. They are few in number, and we must surround them effectively. Newton felt that this was an opportunity to spread their fists.

"But, sir." A second lieutenant officer next to him stood up and said worriedly.

"What's the matter?" Newton asked.

"Our defense zone, our search zone is not yet complete, if. If something happens, we will have to bear a great deal of military responsibility. The second lieutenant reminded.

"This is a critical moment for the war, and we have very few people. And there are only a small number of enemies in our area, and such an enemy does not mean much to us at all. Newton emphasized.

"Moreover, I am the supreme commander here, and I have the right to make such a decision." Newton emphasized.

"Yes. Sir. The second lieutenant said.

"Alright. Leave two squads and you will be in charge of the second lieutenant. Newton said. Then he went with the rest of the people to support him with all his might. Newton thought that this was a very good opportunity, and they searched for half a day without finding any trace of the enemy, but they did not expect that at this time, the enemy suddenly appeared. This is their best chance.

Inside the headquarters of the XII regiment.

"Are you sure?" The head of the regiment asked. He was an officer who had risen from the lowest ranks. Originally, he was preparing to retire, because the army did not have more teams for him, and the competition below was fierce, if it weren't for his rich combat experience, maybe he would not have served as such a commander.

"Hmm. This is directly submitted by the front-line commander, sir, I think this situation should be true. The staff officer on the side suggested.

"Hmm." Wang He nodded.

"The problem is that this report does not determine the number of people, it only finds enemies, and there are many enemies, and the concept is very vague." The king said worriedly.

"This. Sir. I think we should send a reserve team to take a look, at least to see the specific situation, and if there is a war situation, we can also react in time. "The chief of staff suggested at this time.

"This." Wang shook his head.

"The current situation is very uncertain, and we will suddenly send out reserve forces, if it is only a small force, we will send reserve forces, even if it is partial, it will cause us to encounter a situation of insufficient troops in an emergency." The king refused to send his own reserves.

"I think we should wait and wait for further clarity on the situation." The king said.

"Look, how's it going?" The king said.

"But, sir, we should know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if something unexpected suddenly happens, we will be very bad." The chief of staff suggested at this time.

"Well, I know. But what kind of consequences will be brought about by rash action, I think, you should know better than me. The king prompted.

"So, I don't think it's wise for us to send out the reserves too soon." The king decided to arrive.

"It's better for us to wait for news from our troops. Wait, be patient. Wang He patted the chief of staff on the shoulder and said. Dialogue with such a situation, Wang He thought that the situation was very unclear, and if this continued, it would easily cause them to be unable to concentrate their forces. This is a taboo for soldiers, and he is not willing to do it.

The chief of staff looked at Wang Erhelplessly.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"You can finally come back." As soon as Shang Wen got off the train, he saw Meng Yi anxiously walking over and talking.

"Is there a lot going on in the country?" Shang Wen asked with a smile.

"Yes, not just domestic, but abroad, you know, Zhao has its own stock trading center, South Korea has set up its own central bank, and the emergence of these financial institutions is a shock to us." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Now the king is very worried, Qin's current advantage is a financial advantage, if there are financial institutions in these countries, will it have a great impact on Qin." Meng Yi left the train station with Shang Wen, and said to Shang Wen his worries, the appearance of such an institution, King Qin's vigilance is very strong, within the scope of King Qin's understanding, Zhao and South Korea should not have any institutions such as stock trading centers and central banks, because such institutions will be very unfavorable to the financial institutions of Qin State.

"Hmm. Are you worried about this? Shang Wen asked without any worries.

"Yes, we're worried about that." Meng Yi said.

"It's not just us who are worried, we're all worried, you know, it's very bad for us when something like this happens." Meng Yi said.

"Our stock market, and the Federal Bank Reserve Board, what are they going to think, they're going to think that we have an adversary, and it's going to take us a long time to deal with that adversary." Meng Yi said.

"Oh. No, no, no. I don't think so, Qin's financial advantage still exists, and there is no need to worry about it. Shang Wen said.

"What?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and asked.

"Our financial security is under great threat, and it would be too lax to do so. If there is a big disaster, I'm afraid, it won't be something the two of us can bear. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"There is no need to worry, the state of Qin is in a stage of capital export. If the capital is not exported, it will be difficult for the Qin State to complete further development, and the stock exchange market of the Zhao State, as well as the Central Bank of South Korea, is just a platform for the export of Qin capital, concentrated regions, and these regions have a definite market direction. You're too nervous. Shang Wen smiled and patted Meng Yi's shoulder and said.

"Are you not worried at all?" Meng Yi caught up with Shang Wen and asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid we're too nervous. Instead, such an opportunity was missed. We should calm down and think carefully about whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. If we figure out such a thing, then we can make more decisions. Shang Wen said.

"That's right. How's it going on the king's side? Shang Wen asked.

"I'm worried." Meng Yi replied.

"You know, when something like this happens, no one understands the reason, and if this happens, what the consequences will be, no one knows." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.

"Do you know what the Federal Reserve's attitude is?" At this time, Shang Wen asked.

"We don't know much about that." Meng Yi replied.

"We are very unclear about the opinion of the Federal Reserve." Meng Yi continued.

"I think you should consult them more on this matter, they know how big the business of the bank is, how strong it is, and how much profit it can bring if you just rely on us. I think it's hard for us to do that. Shang Wen said.

"After all, we didn't run the bank, we didn't know how it operated, and we needed more consultants to give different opinions, and that's one reason." Shang Wen said.

"Well, I understand. I'll take notice. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. Meng Yi thought that Shang Wen's reminder was very right, he really didn't pay attention to the bank's opinion, and he didn't know what kind of attitude the bank had.

"That's how we should think." Shang Wen then said to Meng Yi.

"Think about it, what have we been doing lately?" Shangwen asked.

"We need to reduce tariffs in all countries and increase the trade volume of all countries." Shang Wen said.

"Not only the six countries of Kwantung, but many more countries have joined in, the Huns in the north, the mountain people, and the Western Regions, as well as other places." Shang Wen said.

"In order to meet this demand, we built a lot of railways, and trade began." Shang Wen said.

"The number of factories is also increasing, and the number of workers is increasing. But what does it take to do this? Shang Wen asked Meng Yi.

"Money, money, you can't do these things without money." Meng Yi replied.

"Yes. If you don't have money, you can't do these things, and our Qin State has established a large number of commercial banks and established the Federal Reserve Board to finally solve the problem of funds. But the situation of the countries, how do they solve it? Shang Wen asked at this time.

"The iron plant built by Zhao Guo needs a lot of money, not only Zhao Guo, but also South Korea, South Korea's capital problem has not been well and completely solved, don't look at them to establish their own central bank, but don't forget. Their central bank uses the Korean won, and the circulation capacity of the currency is very limited, and it is far less extensive than the circulation of our Qin country's half-tael banknotes, which is one of our advantages, and one of the advantages we must take advantage of. Shang Wen said.

"Well, so, we need capital exports." Shang Wen said.

"The export of capital and the expansion of trade are interdependent." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Countries need to open factories, factories need funds to build, and at present, we are the only ones who can provide such large-scale financial support, as well as well-established financial institutions such as banks and stock markets." Shang Wen said.

"Don't look at the countries that have set up their own central banks, as well as stock markets, but they still need Qin's capital. However, the current expansion of Qin's capital is not very good. We should talk to the bankers about this and solve this problem, if we can't solve this problem, it will be a disaster for us. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. So, you're not worried at all. Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.

"yes, I think there's still a lot of ambiguity in our banking business at the moment." Shang Wen said.

"Ambiguity?" Meng Yi was accustomed to Shang Wen's leapfrog thinking.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded.

"In general, our banks are not ready, or rather, they are not doing very well, they are just simple mortgages, and they are not involved in the construction of factories and trade, which is very detrimental to the further development of Qinguo Bank." Shang Wen said.

"Go on." Meng Yi wanted to know what Shang Wen had in mind.

"I think that the bank has two functions, at the very least, it should have these two ways to make money." Shang Wen said.

"One is lending. The other is investment, and Qinguo Bank has done a good job in the former. That's a lot. But the latter did very badly. Few banks take the initiative to participate in the operation of enterprises, or they take the initiative to invest and participate. That is, they lack a strategic input. Shang Wen said.

"They rely a lot on their government, on the state, and they don't take the initiative to fight for it. The former does have a certain risk, but it cannot be compared with the risk of the latter's active investment. They need to rely on their own vision to invest, such as Zhao's steel plant, if they have iron, the next step is to build a steel plant, which requires equipment and market assessment, and Qin's bank actually did not do this, they did not grasp this opportunity well, Wenyang Bank is simply expanding its own chassis, and for specific enterprise competition, business management, or how much profit the project can bring they have not calculated too much, such funds are extremely scattered, And it doesn't actually have a very strategic effect. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"What do you mean?" Meng Yi asked.

"Another function of Qinguo Bank is to increase the investment function. We need to see the strong side of Qinguo Bank's further development and growth. Shang Wen said.

"This." Meng Yi was still a little vague. But Shang Wen had already found his answer. At present, the development of banks in Qin is relatively scattered, and it can be said that there is no overall entity that is very strong. Although there are giants such as the Royal Family Bank and Wenyang Bank, they are only large in size and chassis power, and such a big size does not make much sense at all. Shang Wen is very clear that such banks are still commercial banks, their business is only on lending, not on commercial investors, Qin is in a special stage of capital export, and Qin's banking business is only on lending, such a demand can not meet the development needs of various places.

The railway needs not only bank loans, but also investment, the development of commercial companies, the Western Regions, the Northern Region, and the South Seas, etc., and the expansion of capital requires the Qin Bank to do more, and the bankers of the Qin State are a little timid. They don't dare to take a step forward, for fear that the risk threatens them. So much so that he missed the opportunity, such an opportunity was keenly captured by Shang Wen. In this regard, Shang Wen was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the bankers, because it was a strong blow to the Qin State.

"Alright. We'll talk about it later. Shang Wen and Meng Yi got into the car together. Murray followed.

"Let's talk about it. What do we need to do, and how can banks grow? Meng Yi asked in a series of questions.

"Hmm." Shang Wen just hummed, then nodded, as if he had made a big decision.

"The state of Qin needs a consortium. Large consortia. The current commercial banks were no longer able to meet the needs of the Qin State. "Shang Wen made a big decision.

"Consortium." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and asked.

"Yes. What Qin needs is a consortium, a large consortium, and only these can meet the needs of Qin, as well as the needs of various countries. Shang Wen said.

The Qin State really needs a consortium, and only the consortium can break through the current unfavorable situation. Qin's banking function is very weak in terms of investment, and the consortium is not only in the banking business, but also in the important point, that is, their investment function. The biggest feature of capital output is investment, they not only master technology patents, the important thing is the amount of funds in hand, with funds, in order to invest, after investment can further transform technological advantages into investment. Qin has a lot of good things, but countries generally have no funds to say, and it is difficult to use banks to drive them, because they can't catch them, or can't do this, which requires Qin State Bank to complete the role of investment, and to complete such a role, it is necessary to upgrade their functions. This is the function of venture capital, and there is only one way to resist such risks, which is to form a large-scale consortium to conduct effective analysis, investment, diversification, and reduce the difficulty of funds.

The Qin State needs a consortium to accomplish this, and all countries and regions also need a consortium to make such investments, and they are extremely lacking in such capital and other projects such as technology patents.

"Yes. We need consortia, and the next step is to upgrade our bank, to upgrade our bank to a consortia, to expand their function in venture capital. Capital export is not only the borrowing of capital, but also investment, only in this way, our bank can be further upgraded to a consortium, in order to further do bigger business. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. Consortium. Meng Yi muttered. It was the first time he had heard of such a term as consortium, and Shang Wen had opened a window for Meng Yi to see the existence of greater profits, and these were all stages that the Qin State had to develop in the future.

"Good. We will develop the consortium. Meng Yi believes that the consortium is what the Qin State needs most, and since it is the most needed, it must be developed. There is no reason to doubt the significance of the existence of the consortium.
