Chapter 904: Triboelectric ...... fire
From time to time, the waiter at the reception looked back and stole a glance at the palace hall, and there was another exclamation from inside, he didn't know what the young man named Durin was talking about, but the exclamations of so many big people obviously showed that what he said was very interesting and surprising. He wanted to eavesdrop, but the strict court system didn't allow him to do so. Workers like him were only allowed to guard the door, and were not allowed to enter the palace.
At this time, Du Lin finally understood the feeling of cadres going to the countryside, that is, no matter what you say, there will always be someone to support you...... When he just said that he had made the world's first colored film, it immediately aroused everyone's exclamations. People also asked about the relevant content information, and when they heard that Du Lin had invested 150,000 yuan to shoot this movie a few years ago, they were all shocked and speechless. 150,000 star dollars, the circulating currency on Olix's side is the federal shield, and in the trade between the federation and Olix, they have always used the federal shield to settle the settlement.
In other words, it was 600,000 federal guilders to shoot a movie, which was definitely a huge amount of money at that time! Even today, 150,000 star dollars is not a small amount! Some girls rushed forward excitedly, boldly asking about the filming process and the filming process. Some of the girls also asked if they could go to the empire with Doolin and if they would have the opportunity to participate in the filming.
If you want to talk about the empire's film industry, it is definitely the world's first-class, and it may also be that the empire's culture has a wider audience capacity, and a large number of films are exported overseas every year to expand the empire's influence. Of course, Maggs and the cabinet have not yet clearly recognized the importance of the film industry in cultural aggression, and these big names just use movies as a kind of plaything, after all, they are too old, and they pay more attention to politics and decision-making, and they don't have time to go to the movies and feel the charm of movies.
As Durin can testify, he hasn't seen a movie for a long time and doesn't want to watch it.
After dealing with the girls' words, Durin said something else, "I tasted Olex's specialty beef just now, and I have to say that it was a very unforgettable experience, I can't eat such good beef in the Empire. As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole palace was quiet again, everyone was listening to him, all looking at him, he was not stage frightened at all, he didn't know how many times he had experienced such an occasion, and he didn't panic at all when he lied, "When my teeth gently touched the beef, the tender and juicy beef gave me the most wonderful experience, that feeling I have never experienced." ”
"I was thinking that when I return to the Empire, I may never be able to eat such delicious beef again, so why don't I bring in a batch from here?", he looked at Hazlett, who was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses.
Even in the Principality of Olex, this King is one of the representatives of many incompetent kings, but this does not mean that he is really a fool, he immediately realized that there are other meanings in Durin's words, although he is not sure, but he knows how to continue, "Mr. Durin, I can give you some Mondoge cattle for free, a batch every year, so that you can continue to enjoy the best beef in the world!" Speaking of the best, Hezlett seems very confident, which is certified by the Federal Food Administration, five-star edible beef cattle, although this brand is owned by more than a dozen small countries.
With a grateful smile on his face, Durin nodded slightly, "Thank you very much for Your Majesty's generosity, I have never been a stingy person, and I am also a person who is willing to share, if I am the only one who enjoys such a delicacy, I think it is unfair to others, so it is better to do this......", he looked thoughtful, and said after a moment, "The cattle that Olix slaughters every year, as long as they are outside your plan, no matter how many, give them to me!"
This sentence was full of unparalleled pride, and in an instant, everyone swayed, almost fell, and was domineering, and everyone was blinded by the "golden light", and some ranchers ...... No, it was the nobles who became short of breath. This year, the Federal Trade Department has told them not to consider continuing to import agricultural products from them for a short time, which has made some people almost lose all the hair on their heads, and Duhrin said such a promise at this time, which is a big savior.
If a country that sells agricultural products to the outside world cannot find a home, the speed of the collapse of the social and economic order is definitely beyond people's imagination.
Hezlett had a flash of inspiration in his heart and asked another question, "Our produce is also good, whether it is wheat or other vegetables or fruits, they are the best in the world." "Yes, these also have brands, but this time they are not issued by the Federation, they do it themselves. There is no reason that animal husbandry is the best, agricultural products are not the best, in order to keep the nobles who are mainly responsible for agricultural products from making trouble, so Hezlet awarded them a "world excellent agricultural products" brand, which is very bluffing.
Without thinking, Durin nodded in agreement, "It's not a problem at all, we can sign a contract to facilitate this." This is actually what Mags meants, by mastering the economic lifeline of these small countries and stringing them on their own line, so as to drive the entire little brother country to develop and progress together, and naturally the momentum of the Bright Star Empire in the international arena will rise, and when the time comes, it will be said that it is a superpower and has the responsibility to help all backward countries, and under the dual protection of economy and force, this position cannot be shaken.
Now that the empire has money, the real main force in the financial tsunami of the Federation is not actually Dulin or those international investors, it is the empire. Only the country's financial resources can play a decisive role, and the combined capital of Durin, poker and idle international travel funds is only three or four billion federal guilders, which cannot completely hit the federal economy and prevent them from getting up, but the Imperial Treasury will take action, and it will be different.
With money, the next thing becomes much easier, and Du Lin has a vague guess, Mags has made so much money silently this time, will it become tougher on the domestic capital forces?
And...... He also had a speculation that perhaps the empire was going to set up a real central bank, a state-based central bank.
It is not uncommon for a country's central bank to be controlled by a group of capitalists, but empires are politically advanced countries after all, and the power of capitalists is too strong to displease the rulers. In the past, the empire couldn't come up with too much money to toss them, but now that the empire has money, it may not give it a try.
When Durin came back to his senses, the whole court was cheering, and many people looked at Durin with their eyes full of friendship and gratitude, and the biggest problem in agriculture and animal husbandry was that it could not be deposited. This season's agricultural products are piled up in the warehouse after harvesting, and if they are not sold as soon as possible, they will quickly rot and rot, and the initial investment will be wasted. Even if there are some that can be made and saved in other ways, there will be a great loss. As for animal husbandry, it is even worse, when it comes to slaughter, the livestock cannot be sold, not only does it need to occupy a lot of space, but the extra feed every day is enough to make these enterprises quickly enter the brink of bankruptcy.
There was once a news that it was a company that farmed aquatic products, because the products were unsalable, and the feeding materials used for feeding were as high as thousands of pieces every day, which lasted for more than two months, and finally had to declare bankruptcy.
Doolin's appearance solves these troubles, and the music starts to play at the right time, and some young ladies begin to take the initiative to invite Doolin to dance.
The next day, Durin signed a series of trade agreements with Hezlett in the palace, and some of the terms of these trade contracts were not so "trade". For example, diplomatic relations between the Duchy of Olex and the Empire will be upgraded to the level of ambassadors, and ambassadors will be stationed on both sides. For example, Olex will deepen exchanges and bilateral relations with the Empire, and make efforts to seek common progress. Later, when the empire reported the news, it said in a mocking tone that it was "beef diplomacy".
This is a very bad contract, both sides know it, and Hezlett has no complaints about it. Especially when Durin privately promised him that the Empire would help the Duchy of Olex to establish a part of its own light and heavy industrial enterprises, Hezlet had nothing to say.
In this industrial age, steam machinery is king!
Durin then donated 1 million to Olix's Ministry of Education in public, expressing his importance to education, and donated some money to other departments.
With an excellent answer, Durin left the Duchy of Orix and continued south.
At the same time, on the border between the Empire and the Federation, some minor frictions were taking place.
After the collapse of the federal financial tsunami, life became somewhat difficult for people from all walks of life, and some people always had more than others thought, especially the middle class in these federal cities near the empire. The federal shield is indeed worthless, and the money in their pockets is about to turn into paper, although it is not like some reports that they can only buy a loaf of bread with the past month's salary, but in fact, it is not too bad. Although the federal shield is not far from turning into waste paper, things are things after all, such as a gold ring.
A gold ring may only be exchanged for two or three meals in the Federation now, but if it is taken to the Empire, it can be exchanged for ten days and half a month's living supplies, or even more. Some capable people bring things to the empire in exchange for the necessities they need for life, and there are also some imperial people who take a fancy to business opportunities and use stars and commodities to go to the federation to purchase all kinds of luxury goods, and the problem arises here.......
The problems of the Federation are well known, and there are always people who want a better life, and when they see the Imperial Masters entering and leaving the border with large amounts of cash, they will inevitably have bad thoughts.
A gunshot rang out, alarming two countries!
