Compromise is not a one-word affair, and negotiations are still burning. The three parties to the negotiations in secret are all busy with their own affairs.

The Alpha Kingdom and the Frankish Empire were busy rushing for the spoils of war, and the Holy See and the "heretics" summoned by themselves fought to the death.

The battle was not fought in vain, and watching the Holy See army fighting the battlefield, the countries temporarily dispelled their suspicions about them and turned their suspicious eyes on the alien race.

There are too many suspects, and they can't figure it out for a while, so everyone can only give up for the time being and leave it for later liquidation.

Some radicals in the Terrans have begun to plot to destroy the alien race and dominate the continent of Aslanth.

All alien races are aimed at the target, so it no longer matters who the real culprit is.

If you get it wrong, it's okay too. Anyway, as the overlord of the continent, the human race has long been the enemy of the whole world, and there is no need for a reason to destroy the enemy.

As time passed, the chaos on the mainland not only did not subside, but showed signs of intensifying.

Not only is there "chaos" in the territory of the human race, but there are also problems in the territory of the alien race. The culprit is, of course, that the two sides have played black hands against each other.

The Terrans drove the "alien creatures" to the territory of the aliens, and the aliens also took retaliatory measures-for-tat, and everyone was playing with knives to kill people.

In this context, even if the "demonic disaster" subsides, it can artificially create a demonic disaster.

The time has come to test everyone's control over the local area, and the Alpha Kingdom, which has rich experience in mobilizing the whole country and is a soldier for all the people, has performed "brilliantly" during this period!

Because of the fast response speed, they are often able to organize a large army to extinguish the "demonic disaster" as soon as it emerges, so as not to give it a chance to spread and expand.

More than ninety percent of the "demonic disasters" will be extinguished by the county government, and even more serious provinces can be dealt with.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no Sanctuary-level among the monsters that are causing trouble, there is no need to alarm the central government at all.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Hudson has gained a lot of knowledge in recent times.

The ancient aristocracy has a deep heritage, but it is not a joke. As soon as many otherworldly creatures arrived, these Earth Snakes took targeted measures according to their weaknesses.

There is no doubt that this knowledge cannot be put together on an ad hoc basis, but must be stored accordingly.

It's all the experience summed up by the ancestors, and I can't envy it at all.

In fact, Hudson has been collecting books of all kinds. But compared with the real ancient nobles, it is still far behind.

There was no way, the knowledge he gained was all obtained from the hands of the declining nobles. Even if he used to be a member of the great nobles, the big nobles are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Like the Coslow family, it belongs to the explosive aristocracy. It was all thanks to Hudson's support in front that the family's strength grew rapidly.

This new aristocracy rose fast and declined even faster. If Hudson had an accident now, and there was no outstanding talent on top, it was estimated that the Coslow family would not be able to support three generations, and it would fall.

The situation is different for those old nobles who inherit the ancient heritage. People are not strong because they are old, but they are old because they are strong.

can be passed down for dozens of generations, relying on strength. In normal times, it is inconspicuous, and it will only break out at a critical moment.

Hudson saw with his own eyes that a Sanctuary undead accidentally strayed into the magic array and was beaten to death by a group of eighth-order powerhouses, without even having a chance to escape.

To be precise, it is not terrible to inherit the ancient, but what is terrible is that people can still bring forth the new and continue to make progress on the basis of their predecessors.

The most direct embodiment is the cultivation of the strong. After generations of seniors have continuously summed up their cultivation experience and continuously optimized their cultivation techniques, the difficulty of cultivation of the younger generations is much lower than that of their predecessors.

In Hudson's view, these great nobles can produce many strong people, not because of how great their own talents are, but because the knowledge they have acquired and the resources they have are far beyond their peers.

Knowing that other people's exercises are more awesome, the Coslow family still uses the mainland-based version. When it comes to the core inheritance of the family, there is no risk at all.

For large road goods, at least there are no big potholes. In history, there are not one or two cases of blindly learning other people's exercises and being pitted.

Even if it doesn't affect in the early stage, there will inevitably be problems in the later stage. After all, the more refined the exercises, the more points you need to pay attention to.

For example, the cultivation method provided by the nobles to the serf soldiers was very fast in the early stage, and after stepping into the first order, it began to take a sharp turn.

Those who can go further in the future can be regarded as geniuses. Those that exceed the third order are very rare in the entire kingdom.

Typically sacrificing potential for faster growth. While cultivating a large number of cannon fodder, it also stifles potential risks in the cradle by the way.

With Hudson's status, even if someone dares to design the Coslow family, they don't dare to go so extreme.

If you really practice the exercises given by others, there will definitely be no major problems in the early stage, and whether you can break through the holy realm in the later stage is very clear.

It was only when Hudson began to understand the law that Hudson understood the importance of foundation. Once you take a shortcut in the early stage, even if you have a high level of understanding in the future, your body can't control it.

Any physical incongruity will lead to a failure in promotion at a critical moment, and if you are unlucky, you may die in the process of breaking through.

Judging purely from the comprehension of the law, Hudson has now stepped into the threshold of the Sanctuary with half a foot, but his body and life seeds have not grown to the limit.

Forcibly connecting the elemental infusion body between heaven and earth, there is a high probability that he will die very ugly.

There are not a few eighth-order powerhouses who are at the end of the door, but most of them are stuck in the comprehension of the law.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't take shortcuts, you haven't hurt your foundation when you're young, and your body and life seeds are cultivated for a few more days, you will be able to grow to the limit sooner or later.

Winter turned to spring, time passed, and the reform of the royal government continued.

Thanks to the contribution of the Holy See, the kingdom's economy, which was originally moribund, also began to pick up this spring.

The looted booty not only saved the kingdom's finances, but also saved the kingdom's nobles who were on the verge of bankruptcy, and incidentally saved the kingdom's financial community.

In this year, it was popular to "repay debts", and after the pockets were bulging, the nobles who had overdue debts before filled the debt pit as soon as possible.

For the first time, the Development Bank of the Near East had a cash flow surplus, and just a few months ago, Hudson was still worried about the bank's liquidity crisis.

Unexpectedly, the nobles of the kingdom actually repaid the loan in advance. Sure enough, they are all diligent and thrifty housekeepers, and they even want to save the interest on their funds.

Everyone was so self-conscious, Hudson was a little embarrassed. I don't have to say it, when someone else comes to pay back, they must collect it!

With money in his pocket, Hudson has enough confidence. Originally, he personally presided over the shareholders' meeting, but he was able not to participate in it.

If you can land smoothly, then financial scams will naturally cease to exist.

Originally, I only wanted to make money by financing, but now it has become a serious entrepreneurial project, and the dividends naturally do not need to be pressed.

After a cursory look at the list of accounts for dividends, Hudson said arrogantly: "The dividends in kind will remain unchanged according to the original plan, and the cash dividends will be increased to eight million gold coins, so that shareholders will know that we are not liars!" ”

In order to replenish its cash flow, the Near East Development Bank has successively raised tens of millions of gold coins from shareholders, which can be called the largest strategic investment in the continent of Aslanth.

The number of shareholders has also expanded from the initial few to more than 150 now.

The well-known chambers of commerce on the mainland, and the powerful nobles in the northern and central continents, are all shareholders of the bank.

It is precisely because of this huge interest group that the Development Bank of the Near East is able to do business.

With the help of various parties, the valuation of the Near East Development Bank has exceeded 200 million gold coins, and the net assets reported on the bank's financial statements have also reached 70 million gold coins.

Looking at the whole continent, the Development Bank of the Near East is also the largest behemoth. Even the three major chambers of commerce across the continent do not have so many assets in their names.

Hudson himself couldn't believe the financial giants he had single-handedly made. Considering that there are too many forces involved, the original bankruptcy plan of the circle of money was also forced to be changed to a careful operation.

Although Hudson used the bank's resources to take advantage of the minority shareholders, the books were absolutely clean.

In order to avoid the bank's thunderstorm due to the liquidity crisis, he deposited all his money in the bank, and also fooled out his own dragon and bear's small treasury.

After a long period of hard work, the Development Bank of the Near East is finally on the right track.

The early repayment of the nobles, which covered up all the problems. What was once a book asset has become a tangible income.

Although interest income will be significantly reduced in the coming years, Hudson is still very content.

Only those who have experienced a liquidity crisis know how valuable cash flow is. Even if there is a large amount of cash lying on the bank books at the moment, Hudson prefers to pay dividends in kind.

Theoretically, the total market value of the commodities that were distributed this time exceeded 18 million gold coins.

Together with the cash dividend of 8 million, the one-time dividend of the Development Bank of the Near East will reach a staggering 26 million gold coins.

The three major chambers of commerce have not been able to spend such amazing dividends to shareholders in any year.

It would be even more perfect if it was not commodities that were paid out this time, but real money.

"Duke, that's too much!

The amount of dividends in kind alone is already very staggering. If it weren't for the war, the value of these things would have increased by forty or fifty percent.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the Development Bank of the Near East to make so much profit in a year.

There are too many dividends paid this year, and the expectations of shareholders have increased, and I am afraid that next year will be ......"

Before Rudolph could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted with a smile: "Next year's business, next year's thing, next year's thing."

There are ups and downs in doing business, and this year the profits of the Development Bank of the Near East have skyrocketed, and it was the Papal States that the money went into our pockets.

The loans repaid in advance by the nobles in various places alone exceeded 80 million gold coins. If we don't have this cash, we still have to worry about the liquidity crisis of the banks all the time, what will we pay them dividends?

Anyway, after this dividend, everyone has already recovered their investment. In the future, even if you continue to chase you for money, it is not so urgent.

Go back and talk to the shareholders so that they can increase their support and help us do business in the three countries of the Central and Continental Continents.

There are so many shareholders in the bank, everyone comes out together. You only need to send someone over to show up, and many of the problems that plague you will be solved.

With this dividend as a link, I think everyone will not refuse!

When the business is done, the bank's profits go up, and there are naturally high dividends.

If you can't do it, then report the problem to the shareholders and tell them that someone is blocking it and delaying everyone from making money. ”

Plans are linked one after another, and vaguely Hudson discovers that the Development Bank of the Near East has many new features waiting for him to develop.

Even in the age of farming, the lifeblood of finance is crucial.

Once the business of the Development Bank of the Near East expanded among the three countries of the Central Continent, the five-nation alliance became financially integrated.

Having mastered the financial lifeblood of the Alliance, coupled with Hudson's prestige, the influence in the Alliance is bound to go further.

In some cases, it can even surpass the monarch of a country.

In addition to the political benefits, the economic benefits are also huge. The only bank that connects the five-nation alliance is in a near-monopoly position financially, and it is destined to be a huge source of money.

After a pause, Hudson continued: "I won't withdraw the dividends this time.

The cash dividends are directly paid into Xue Yueling's public account and used to repay bank loans. Dividends in kind, which are also used to repay debts after being realized. ”

The typical left-handed to right-handed model, but just like this, not only can Xueyueling's huge debt burden be loosened, but the Near East Development Bank has added a sum of cash to its books.

As a major shareholder, Hudson can receive a large amount of dividends.

If the annual dividends are used to repay debts, Xueyueling, who is on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly becomes a high-quality customer of the bank.

The reciprocal game is not for Hudson to be fed up, but for shareholders and savers.

"Yes, Duke!

Xueyueling's debt problem has been solved, and the main risk of the bank in the future will be only a problem customer for the royal government! ”

Rudolph said excitedly.

Whatever Hudson thought, he, the president of the bank, had wanted to make the bank a business since he took office.

In addition to Hudson's behind-the-scenes command, he also played a great role in the development of the Development Bank of the Near East.

It's just that these words fell into Hudson's ears, and it was a little embarrassing. The two largest loan customers of Emotion Bank are actually "problem customers" in the eyes of the president.

The royal government is just that, and no one can say whether it will be able to repay the bank loan on time when the debt is high.

But it would be a bit too much to pull the snow moon collar on, is he the kind of person who doesn't pay his debts?

Xueyue has no money, which does not mean that he has no money for Lord Hudson. Take his deposit in the Development Bank of the Near East......

It seems that there is still some distance from repaying the loan. But that's not the point, Mr. Hudson has a ton of other assets, such as bank equity.

It was all the immigrants who were to blame, and the large-scale purchase of serfs led to a sharp increase in the debt of the territory.

In a sense, the main culprit of the liquidity crisis of the Development Bank of the Near East is the huge amount of new debt added by Xue Yueling.

Thirty million, forty million, fifty million, in the blink of an eye, has now broken through the 60 million mark.

Pay back?

It's purely funny, and the territory is out there buying and buying. The little tax revenue from the lord's mansion was not enough to cover the skyrocketing administrative expenses.

……

Emerald Palace.

"What, the Development Bank of the Near East paid dividends?"

Caesar IV said incredulously.

Since its founding, the Development Bank of the Near East has been attracting people everywhere. The royal family, a big force with money and resources, naturally fell into the pit early.

As a result, the Development Bank of the Near East has risen under everyone's nose and become a giant in the financial world.

As a shareholder of the bank, apart from enjoying the preferential loans, the royal family did not even see the income of a single gold coin.

Considering the large political investment of the banks in the Near East, there is a high probability that it will not be recovered, and Caesar IV was ready for the investment to go down the drain.

On the days of the front, he also received a notice from the Development Bank of the Near East to extend the debts of the front-line nobility. I thought Hudson would need to raise money again to replenish the bank's cash flow.

I never expected that the peak loop would turn so fast. The iron rooster of the Development Bank of the Near East not only did not reach out to the shareholders, but began to pay dividends.

"Your Majesty, you heard it right, the Development Bank of the Near East is indeed going to pay dividends. Our people have just returned from the shareholders' meeting, and there is no way there is a mistake in the news.

The cash dividend has been paid to the royal family's account, and the figure is not too big, about 400,000 gold coins.

The bulk of the dividends are still in kind, and the value is more than double that of cash, and there are various categories. But apart from food and cloth, most of the rest are works of art and luxury.

In normal times, these things were worth a fortune, but now they are priceless.

Marshal Hudson, however, retained his usual shrewdness. Knowing that these things are not easy to realize, they are directly taken out and distributed to shareholders, rather than being left in the bank and becoming loss! ”

Hearing the palace minister's complaint, Caesar IV smiled slightly. This was the Hudson he knew, and if he didn't have any calculations, he would find it strange.

"Haha......"

"None of this matters, the key is to be able to see the money back!"
