The bankers of Genoa lent money to the Spanish government, which repaid it with commercial privileges and silver, and the two sides used and cooperated with each other.

Such a model is the model in which Spain maintained its hegemony in the face of reckless militarism.

When you dig deeper, you know that there weren't many high-yield investments for bankers in those days, especially in wartime areas.

A large business such as a royal loan is not to be missed, and the Spanish Habsburgs are the royal family that borrows the most money.

Although the Spanish government went bankrupt four times during the reign of Philip II, most recently a year ago, the bankers made money in the years when the royal family went bankrupt.

Not only that, but the benefits of lending to the royal family included the right to export Spanish gold and silver bullion, which was their main lucrative item.

So although every time the royal family goes bankrupt and cheats, many banking families that are not so well capitalized will go bankrupt and collapse, there are still many bankers who lend to the royal family like moths to the fire, just for those temptations that are really irresistible.

However, when another possibility arises, such as opening up the Chinese market and cooperating with the Chinese to sell Chinese luxury goods that can make huge profits throughout the continent.

What will the bankers of Genoa think?

What will the mad king of France, who is short of money and red-eyed, think?

Doing business with the royal family is extremely risky, and once the other party declares the government bankrupt and defaults, they don't actually have much countermeasures.

The so-called "I am an uncle before borrowing money, and I am a grandson after borrowing money" is not a joke, otherwise there would not be so many debt collection companies and debt collection businesses.

Whenever the Spanish royal family declares bankruptcy, there are a large number of unlucky people who will follow the bankruptcy and collapse, the government bankruptcy is more of a means than the actual bankruptcy, and the royal family is still honored, but the bankers are bankrupt is the real family is over, and there is no way to live.

Compared with such high-risk business projects, cooperation with Chinese can be described as zero risk.

The Chinese themselves used fleets to transport goods to Genoa's ports, and Genoese bankers sent people to pay to receive the goods and then used their sales channels to sell them.

Although the Chinese ask for a very high price and a high cost, there is definitely a market, there are definitely people to buy, and the supply exceeds demand, a pound of gold can be bought in hand, and it can be sold for a pound and a half or even two pounds of gold, and the profit is terrifying.

The previous dozen or so ships of goods have now all been sold, and they have basically been covered by the major royal families in Europe, and even the Pope has sent people to rush to buy them, and they are absolutely in short supply.

And the Chinese can bring definitely more than just porcelain and silk tea, they find that the Chinese have more things that make them obsessed, each of these things has great commercial value, once developed, the profit will far exceed their expectations!

For example, Chinese food!

Both France and Genoa negotiated with the Chinese to open Chinese restaurants in their countries, leading the trend of Chinese food culture, experiencing the taste of culture, and making money.

The great potential of Chinese cuisine was already clear to them, and the two chefs that Long Chen was staying in Genoa were now dedicated to serving Genoa's top aristocrats.

For example, the governor of Genoa, the top bankers, and even some aristocrats who love good Chinese food have reached the point where they do not eat non-Chinese food.

The land of gold! That's the land of real gold! Powerful! Civilization! Rich! Be ethical!

That's the ideal partner!

The Spanish royal family that goes bankrupt at every turn! shit！

If it weren't for those privileges, they wouldn't have played with the royal family!

Therefore, before Chen Longzheng left, so many bankers cried and shouted that they wanted to follow him back to discuss business, and the French government also sent special personnel to follow him to discuss business, and even representatives of some countries rushed to Genoa after Chen Longzheng left, because there was no faster hurry, and the bowels of regret were blue.

So, you say that with such high profit expectations, once they are cut off by the Spanish royal family, will the bankers in Genoa eat people? Will the King of France go crazy?

If the Spanish royal family really does not know what to do, they will be enemies with the Chinese, and although Genoa is a vassal state of Spain, their bankers are not subjects of Spain.

Immediately withdraw the assets and stop funding, and the Spanish government really went bankrupt and collapsed in minutes.

And France is not really at war with Spain now, but only wants to regain some of the land occupied by the Spaniards with the help of religious civil strife in France, and the two sides are fighting on a small scale, not wanting to start a full-scale war and fight each other to the death.

Spain's biggest enemies were England at sea and the Netherlands in the north of France, and if France and Genoa were really pushed against each other because of economic interests, then they would really lose badly.

Even if Philip II was a war maniac, he should have known what not to do, and the Spanish finances were already very bad under the use of military force, and they could not afford the Genoese withdrawal and the complete hostility of France.

Not to mention that even the Holy See is being used by Xiao Ruxun now.

Does Spain want to be the enemy of the world?

They must not dare, so they can only suffer this dumb loss.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these guys suddenly have some accident to retaliate against China, so the escort fleet still needs to be there, and it is also necessary to deepen relations and in-depth cooperation with France and Genoa.

Gain reliable allies on the European continent to safeguard China's business interests in Europe and open up a new market.

"Tilong, don't worry, the Spaniards will never dare to fight against us in the open, although they also have to prevent them from playing yin, but in general, there is no need to worry, if they do evil, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, they will regret it, don't worry, this dumb loss, they will eat it."

Xiao Ruxun smiled, and this smile made Chen Longzheng a little stunned.

No matter what, everything will not go back to the past, the surrender table of the "Luzon Kingdom" has been sent to the Jingshi, no accident, the seal will come down soon, the layout of the first step has been completed, and next, Xiao Ruxun will begin to attack the indigenous people of the Philippines.

After those natives learned that the strength of the Spaniards had been greatly damaged, they would definitely be ready to move to Manila, the core of the Spaniards' rule, Manila had a large number of military reserves and material reserves, and a large number of spices that had not had time to sell, which were now cheap Xiao Ruxun was his spoils.

And it was obvious that those natives were here for Xiao Ruxun's spoils.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to fight a war, hurt them, and establish the status of the new colonial lord.

My money isn't that easy to take!
