After negotiating the personnel and equity structure of the consortium, William looked around at everyone, coughed twice, and said: "Ahem, I announce that the Normandy consortium was established today. ”

Obviously, this sentence is obviously William's bad taste attack, imitating a classic line said by Grandpa Mao on Tiananmen Square.

"Ahem, ahem..."

After a long time, still not hearing the warm applause, William opened his slitted eyes and coughed heavily.

Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang...

Under the applause of Osborne, who was familiar with William's character, everyone present burst into warm applause.

It's no wonder that everyone didn't react to this sentence, mainly because this stalk didn't appear at all in the Middle Ages, and everyone didn't know how to react to this sentence at all.

For this little embarrassment, William, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, completely ignored it, and spoke with a normal face: "Speaking of monopoly before, we have taken over almost all the commerce, industry, mining, etc. of the Barony of Alençon, and in fact formed an industrial and commercial monopoly on the Barony of Alençon, but this does not mean that we can continue to monopolize in the future, and at the same time, we can't just stick to Alençon City and be satisfied." ”

At this suggestion, everyone present cheered up and listened to the listener with a serious look.

"Little William, do you have any good ideas again? Tell us about it, we're part of this consortium anyway. Uncle Adolf was the first to speak.

Everyone in the audience nodded in response, with a look of anticipation in their eyes.

"The straightforward way I came up with was to use the means of executive orders to serve our consortium. In Alençon, for example, we can issue a series of orders and bills - the Barony of Alençon can only open banks in Normandy, engage in mineral mining, etc., and strictly establish the system of access to various industries, so that only merchants and companies who do not pose a threat to us and follow us can engage in these trades. The corners of William's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "If we want to expand the scope of the monopoly in the shortest possible time, we need the help of Uncle Adolf." ”

"Little William, I see what you mean, it's a good idea." Uncle Adolf nodded at William and said, "The Barony of Alençon I will directly issue the relevant bills, and as for the county guard of Evreux and the Barony of Vernon, I will also do my best to persuade your uncle Robert, I think he will agree." But..."

William, who had been staring at Uncle Adolf, noticed the hesitant expression on his face, waved his hand and said: "Uncle Adolf, I understand what you mean, the county of Evré is not something that a few of us can say, not counting the Baron Richard of Agentang who opposes us, even the neutral bishop of the parish of Lisce, the county guard and the autonomous cities in each territory will not agree to our bill for their own commercial and economic interests. ”

"Yes, William, it is still too difficult for the Normandy consortium to completely monopolize the commerce of Evreux, even in the areas under our control, if we want to enforce such a monopoly policy, the already unstable county guard and the barony of Vernon are likely to break out into a large-scale rebellion." Uncle Adolf, who had experienced the rebellion of the merchants of Alençon, knew too well the power of these daring merchants.

"Yes, I'm really too anxious, let's do it now in Barony Alençon, and we'll take a long-term view of the rest of the region." William nodded in agreement with Uncle Adolf's words.

Expecting William to swell up and become self-righteous after a few brilliant victories, Adolf expressed great relief that William was still humbly accepting the advice of others.

William and Uncle Adolphus had a heated discussion for a while, and decided on the methods and plans for the administrative monopoly policy, the business access registration system, and the establishment of a powerful business administration, and decided to take the lead in the Barony of Alençon.

After a heated discussion with Uncle Adolphus, William turned his head, his eyes fell on Bruce, and said, "Bruce, are you confident that you can integrate the banking industry in Alençon City and create the Bank of Normandy?" ”

"Yes, His Highness William, I am confident that I can do it." Bruce stood up and assured loudly with his head held high.

"Tell us what you're going to do?" A smile appeared on the corner of William's mouth, and he asked.

"Back to His Highness William, there were originally six banks in Alençon, including my bank, the largest of which was Mayor Scott's bank." Bruce nodded and introduced, "I plan to form a new Normandy bank with the largest bank as the head office and the other five banks as branches. ”

"Bruce, you need a lot of banking talents to do this, even if we move relatively quickly, we can't get a few professional managers in the banking industry." William pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Please don't worry, His Highness William." Bruce patted his chest and reassured: "I am familiar with the talents who were originally engaged in the banking industry, as long as I personally invite these talents, combined with my original backbone, I can fully support the operation of Normandy Bank." ”

"Well done, Bruce, I have high expectations for you. Don't let me down, Bruce! William nodded in approval.

"I will do my best to repay His Highness William's trust." Bruce swore a wish.

"Alright, I'm going to tell you something very important." William nodded, smiled and ordered: "Bruce, open the Normandy Bank as soon as possible, I will order all the knights and soldiers to open an account in the Normandy Bank, and deposit their bounties and booty (including gold, silver, currency, valuables, etc.) into the Normandy Bank, you must be prepared to be responsible for this matter in the next few days." ”

"As you command, His Highness William." Bruce stepped forward and responded, "Your Highness, do we need to buy war power at a low price?" It's very profitable. ”

"That's smart, Bruce!" William did not hesitate to praise him, and said with a happy face: "If you can comprehend my empty glove white wolf plan, and you can draw inferences, you can also be called a business genius!" ”

"Don't dare to be, His Highness William!"

Although he said so, Bruce, who was smiling from ear to ear, had already revealed the excitement in his heart.

"Go ahead, Bruce." William waved his hand, asking him to leave first.

"Bruce quit."

With that, Bruce bowed to William and turned to leave.
