Chapter 30: Shaking the Heavens and the Earth
There were many "ups and downs" in the transactions of Olin Commercial Bank, and there were even a few traces of wind with the smell of blood.
For the sake of money, there is no lower limit to the dirty things that people can do. In just a few weeks, the Central Special Branch dealt with three attacks on the Olin Development Bank.
Yes, raids. It was an attack using firearms and explosives in an attempt to kill a depositor or destroy a branch of the Development Bank.
Oilon's "financial experts" are not fools, and it took them almost less than two days to quickly judge the terrifying power of this financial model. The freedmen and low-ranking nobles of Orin were numerous, and the amount of cash they held in their hands would be a staggering amount if they could be combined.
The group of financial experts, who were trying to buy a commercial bank at a low price, quickly estimated how much Olon Development Bank would be able to raise in two weeks, based on the crowd data they had observed.
Approximately...... 24 million gold pounds.
According to the interest rate given by the Oilon Development Bank, the total annual interest on these funds is about one million gold pounds. In other words, if the Oilon Development Bank is prepared to forcibly intervene in the acquisition of the commercial banks, even if the price is raised to 2.4 million gold pounds, it will still be able to guarantee a considerable profit.
The total value of the assets and good accounts of the Olin Commercial Bank is at least 1.4 million gold pounds, and even if the Olin Development Bank buys it and does nothing, but only splits and sells the assets, it can make a profit from it - anyway, the interest of 1 million gold pounds will have to be paid anyway, which is equivalent to paying 2.4 million gold pounds of assets, and the assets purchased by the assets can get at least 1.4 million gold pounds of profits. After paying interest with one million, the bid becomes one million and four hundred thousand bids, and a profit of four hundred thousand gold pounds is obtained.
In this way, the CDB's acquisition of a commercial bank looks like a loss-making deal. But...... The valuation of the commercial bank of 1,400,000 gold pounds is based only on the "sale of assets immediately after acquisition".
If the time is extended, the loan business of commercial banks will be able to earn at least 200,000 gold pounds per year in the next five years, and about 350,000 gold pounds per year in financial leasing. The intermediary service of securities trading is slightly lower, but 50,000 gold pounds a year is not a problem.
Everyone knows that the price of Oilon Commercial Bank is a serious undervaluation of 1.4 million gold pounds, but not a single Oilon financial company is prepared to raise its offer. How can you miss this kind of opportunity that should be lost?
Therefore, the financial wizards of Olin are ready to prevent the smooth development of this nascent "Olin Development Bank" by some means. Violent attacks are one of them.
The ability to detect such an attack in advance and prevent it is basically due to the personal ability of the "diplomat" Mr. Schultz, as well as the powerful intelligence ability of the Central Special Branch.
As a "juvenile" organization that is less than a year old, the intelligence ability of the Central Special Branch is incredible. Whether "regular" or "informal," Schultz has ordered all members of the Central Special Branch to keep a close eye on any resource allocations that could lead to an attack, ever since the Olin Development Bank brand was put up and savings were raised.
As soon as the surveillance began, the Central Special Branch found a bunch of suspicious clues. I have to say that the control of dangerous goods in Olin is simply full of loopholes, and too many clues even directly interrupt the analysis and investigation of the Central Special Branch.
Schultz quickly adjusted his adjustment strategy and no longer tried to solve the problem by monitoring the source. The monitoring of the Central Special Branch was quickly transferred to the six banks that had a clear desire to buy from the Olin Commercial Bank.
Through round-the-clock close follow-up and lip-to-lip research and judgment at the top of the hierarchy, the Central Special Branch quickly proposed 12 possible target points and time periods. Subsequently, the Central Special Science and Technology Agents, disguised as ordinary deposit customers or simply passers-by, successfully captured and seized a batch of dangerous substances.
"You can see from our seized materials how rotten this country is!" Rao, a well-informed Schultz, also changed color after seeing these dangerous substances. At a meeting of the Central Special Branch, he denounced the madness of the Empire, "An ordinary bank manager can actually get a scattered projectile from the Navy's weapons research and development department!" ”
As its name suggests, this weapon that makes Scholz sweat coldly is a special weapon made from the "Lack of Yin Psi Dragon Mine". The so-called "Lackin Psiloonite" is still essentially the kind of miracle mineral that can be used for spatial jumps. But it was in a different state than a regular Yin Puxi dragon mine - its interior was filled with tiny cracks that were not even visible to the naked eye.
In the process of use, there is a certain possibility that the internal stress will occur due to the rapid hypothermia process after heating. Although based on the long-term experience of human use of the Yin Puxi dragon mine, it is possible that such internal stresses may be released on their own after a period of time. But...... Under high-intensity use, it is still possible for Yin Puxilong ore to fragment due to internal stress changes.
The shattered Yin Puxi Dragon Ore is the ultimate nightmare for all ships on a jump mission. A large amount of scattered Impsilon ore will begin to jump disorderly as soon as it loses heat, and this jump will eventually tear the entire ship into countless unrecognizable pieces.
This kind of Yin Puxi Dragon Mine, which "will definitely crumble when heated", is known as the "Lack Yin Puxi Dragon Mine" in the Imperial Navy. And as the name suggests, the Lack of Yin Psiron Scatter Projectile is what turns this nightmare of a jumping ship into a weapon.
If this scatter projectile really exploded outside the branch of the Olin Development Bank...... For the first time, the civilians of the Empire will witness "the scattering of targets and groups of people in the form of flying sand, followed by scattered on the ground about three miles from the point of origin of the explosion."
Leaving aside the fact that this tragic situation will not scare off other customers who are trying to deposit money in the Olin Development Bank, I am afraid that as soon as the bomb explodes, the entire intelligence and powerful organs of Olin will quickly go crazy.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
This weapon, which is still under development and has never been tested in combat, actually exploded in the heart of the body, and even if these agents captured a group of completely innocent people, shot them on the spot, and then declared "we have found the real culprit", it would not be obvious at all.
Just for the acquisition of a bank worth 1.4 million gold pounds, it is necessary to engage in such a big battle?
There were also a lot of other dangerous items, such as high-pressure gas cylinders with unknown contents, heavy explosives, and even leaflets and bombs such as "Olin Development Bank is a criminal den run by the Allies".
"It is not difficult to see from the actions of the other side that these damn moths are very hostile to us, and they will not hesitate to risk the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people to prevent us from competing with them." After Schultz's frenzy, Lorraine calmly summed up the situation. "These people don't care if they speak the same language, breathe the same air, or even bleed the same blood as them, they have to be rich. Nothing can stop their pathological thirst for money, morality, law, justice. ”
Lorraine stood up, looked around at the young and angry members of the Central Special Branch with her hands in her hands, and said word by word, "But, we can." ”
If you have a warm look in your eyes, the current conference room is enough to melt steel.
"We are now faced with two contradictions. One contradiction is the contradiction between the Empire and the moths attached to the body of the Empire, and the greatest number of Imperial civilians. This is the central contradiction that governs the very purpose of all our work. "The secondary contradiction is the contradiction between the Olin Development Bank and the other Imperial Bank, which we founded. ”
"I know that many of you will feel that Central Tek opened a bank to make money, to benefit ourselves – which is completely contrary to your ideals. I also know that many of you have already thought that the leadership of the Central Special Branch has turned its back on its ideals and is ready to suck blood from the public to fatten itself like the damned bankers. Lorraine sat back in her seat and said, "If you have such thoughts, it means that you still have not studied the dialectics that was handed down a month ago enough. ”
"Under certain circumstances, the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction can be transformed. The direction we are working on now is this 'certain situation'. Lorraine exchanged glances with Schultz on the side, and then said, "The establishment of the Orin Development Bank is just the first weapon we are building for ourselves that is enough to stab the behemoth of the Empire." ”
"Comrades, how much damage can our actions do to the Empire, the largest country in the history of mankind? Of course, we can work step by step. With our efforts, twenty, thirty, or even fifty years from now, Newsall will inevitably become the representative of the brightest future for all mankind. And sweep all the rotten ruling institutions represented by the empire into the garbage heap. But...... We can afford to wait, Newsar can afford to wait...... Can ordinary people who live in Orin, on the other forty-one colonies of the Empire, afford to wait? ”
"Today, they can not hesitate to use such violent methods to achieve their goals for the acquisition of 1.4 million yuan. And what about tomorrow? If there are another million, two million, three million potential gains in front of them, what kind of means will they use to harm our compatriots? ”
"Comrades, we have always been able to come together for only one fundamental purpose - for the people." Lorraine's voice grew higher and higher, and she could clearly feel it, and the eyes around her were getting hotter and hotter, "So, please understand the establishment of the Orin Development Bank in this way - it exists for the people, to protect the people, to prevent more such things from happening." ”
"The financial front is the fastest and most effective product for us to deal with a behemoth like the Empire. To the Empire, it is the sharpest sword; To the people, it is the strongest shield. Lorraine said in a deep voice, "My requirements for you have never changed, all for the people!" ”
"Everything for the people!" The members of the Central Special Branch replied in a muffled voice, but there was determination in it......
Earthquake shattering.
