"Quick, quick, sell it all to me. ”

There was a panic on the stock trading floor at St. Quentin, with the prices of many stocks plummeting from the moment they opened, along with others.

What happened in the Emerald Continent has been reported, and it caused more than a dozen stocks to fall by half that day, and after that, it was still one word, down.

These dozen or so stocks are all related to the ambergris paste trade, such as Texco, which later took over many contacts in Cologne, responsible for the purchase of rosemary grown by the aborigines there; Glaxo Pharmaceutical Group is one of the companies that shared the secret recipe for the refining of ambergris cream, before them, there was a company with an extremely mysterious background that laid all this, and then pulled the line and sold these channels to make a fortune, and now the near-monopoly position in these links is controlled by companies like Texco and Glaxo, and then down is Kingfisher, Such a big agent as Tesco.

But now their stocks are falling, not only the above-mentioned large group companies, San Quentin's financial status is second to none, even if Titania later established its own domestic financial market, but it cannot be compared, whether it is from the status, financing ability or management maturity, so even if Aurora and Asturias have not been very harmonious, but still have a demand for San Quentin, their businessmen will also issue stocks and bonds here.

This is true of Santa Quentin, and the situation on the Titanian side is even more serious than in Asturias.

After all, there are many companies in Asturias that have nothing to do with the cultivation of rosemary and the sale of ambergris, and the stock market in Titania is not so "healthy", when the Alvarez family operated the ambergris cream profitably. It was many Titanian aristocrats and the newly rising big bourgeoisie who looked at it. Those who unite to demand the abolition of monopolies.

And the reason why Titania's stock market trading has always been inferior to Asturias. On the one hand, it is a problem of its late rise, and on the other hand, it is also a problem of its economic structure, specifically, it is like making a musket, the owner of the musket factory in Asturias is dedicated to this, even if he sees that there is a huge profit from selling ambergris cream, but many people are also envious and sigh that they have opened a factory, and they know that it is better to sell ambergris cream. But in the final analysis, these factory owners are still concentrating on their own business, and not many people really put their wealth on ambergris cream because of envy; those in Asturias who took over the hydrangea thrown by the Chuangshen Company are mostly some big aristocrats with surplus money, or commercial consortia whose business scope is commercial sales rather than manufacturing.

The nobles and consortia of Titania were much more frivolous, and in this ambergris incident, there were really many people who abandoned their factories on the road and got involved in selling ambergris cream.

Fortunately for the early entrants, the Incense Pavilion customers of the Titanian merchants were mainly High Elves, and they earned back a large amount of Elven Gold Coins, which could be used as cash, and other precious metals. As long as it is smelted, it can be reminted into Imperial Gold Coins, and the loss is not so large. But latecomers weren't so lucky.

The merchants in general suffered a great loss, especially the Titanians and Asturias, and the Aurora were relatively light, but this was due to their smaller share.

The fleeing merchants were frightened and began to run around, mobilizing all the forces they could muster to demand the intervention of their own country.

On the Asturian side, Jimenez and Bernadotte made a surprising move to hope that the kingdom would intervene.

After the two of them fled back, they immediately went to a parliamentarian they knew well to report the problem, and they also went to the Metropolitan Police Department of St. Quentin to report the case, and went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a blood letter to the foreign secretary.

However, the Foreign Office's answer was rather vague, which made them very unhappy, so they used Jackson as well, claiming that their partner had been killed by the High Elves.

In the end, they made a shocking move, stripped naked, naked, waved the flag of Asturias, and sang the song of the Queen of God to the Saint-Quentin stock exchange.

Before the Board of Management of the Exchange prepared to throw the guards out, Jimenez calmly recounted his fate to the crowd, and finally reminded them that if the rights of a 'legitifi' businessman like him could not be guaranteed, then no one would be at ease in the future.

The two were finally taken away and controlled by the Metropolitan Police Department officers who came to hear the news, but they could only be placed under house arrest and could not be convicted, because according to the law, they were indeed victims.

After that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could no longer sit still, because Jimenez's madness had caused the merchants who had lost their business to unite to put pressure on the kingdom, one or two of them were of course nothing significant, but if they were united, there would be many councillors who could be moved.

Even more troublesome is the large companies that do the upstream link of the ambergris paste trade, and the pressure from them is even greater, because many of these companies are directly related to influential members of the House of Lords or Commons, such as the company that grows rosemary and provides the raw materials for the extraction of ambergris cream is run by the family of the Minister of International Trade and Commerce, and the current Minister of Commerce and Industry is Klausa, so this company is the Bourbon family.

Although rosemary planting, refining and selling ambergris cream was first started by a company called Chuangshen Company, but after Solomon reached an agreement with Tristan, on the one hand, the formula for planting and refining was given to Titania, and on the other hand, Chuangshen Company also got rid of it at the same time in China and sold the dominance of each link to others, and these takeovers are of course not ordinary people, just like the Bourbon family above.

Of course, these successors have made a lot of money over the years, especially after Bernadotte and Jimenez invented the model of working with the Centaurs to control their minerals with the ambergris trade.

Therefore, these bigwigs who control the upstream links of the ambergris cream trade should be more anxious, and the losses are actually greater.

But even with such great pressure, the council has indeed quarreled over it, but it still has not immediately declared war on the High Elves.

Because with the exception of a very small number of legislators who are not sober-minded, the vast majority of normal people know that Asturias alone cannot defeat the High Elves.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, though the High Elves have declined considerably. But the strength of the elves is still extremely terrifying. There are ten Elf Kings. There are also two major temples, as well as those allied tribes, even if they are ordinary high elves, their single strength is beyond the reach of the human race-

Paz Palace.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Benjamin, Secretary of Commerce and Industry Krausa, and Foreign Secretary Osteen sat in the living room, waiting for Solomon.

"You've been waiting a long time. Solomon walked in.

"Your Excellency, we have something important to discuss with you. Kraussa said in a deep voice.

"Is it about the ambergris trade?" said Solomon, nodding.

"Yes, there is now a lot of excitement in the crowd, and everywhere the kingdom is being asked to protect the legitimate interests of the merchants. Parliament has also quarreled over this. Austin said.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Of course we want to punish the High Elves, but if we do go to war, the kingdom may not be able to achieve its goal, which puts us in a dilemma. Benjamin said.

"If we can unite with Titania and the Aurora to get justice......." Osteen said slowly, observing Solomon's expression as he spoke.

Before coming, the three of them had already discussed the ambergris incident, and it was very difficult for Asturias to defeat the High Elves alone, but it was not only Asturias who suffered. Strictly speaking, Titania's losses are greater, if all the damaged countries can be united. It may not be impossible to make the High Elves succumb once.

"Just before you came, Prince Tristan had already written to denounce our country as a conspiracy to give them the recipe for refining ambergris, and not to think that Titania would take advantage of us. Solomon smiled and took out a letter.

The three ministers couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect Tristan to be like this.

Solomon looked at the three of them with a smile, he believed that the three people in front of him probably had similar thoughts to Tristan in their hearts.

Tristan had agreed to Solomon's cooperation, with the idea that if he was not detected by the High Elves, then he could harm the High Elves and make money for himself, and if something happened to him, then he would put the blame on Asturias as he did now.

The upstream and downstream of the ambergris trade in Asturias is also getting bigger and bigger from the hands of Chuangshen Company, and it is estimated that the families of the three ministers are more or less involved, otherwise they would not be so active. They may also regret being caught in such a dilemma, but they certainly don't want to lose it, and if it weren't for the High Elves, they would have declared war through council authorization.

Just when the three of them were shocked and disappointed after hearing the contents of Tristan's secret letter, Solomon said: "Your Excellency Austin's proposal just now is actually very operable, things have developed to this point, if justice is not sought, the loss of wealth is huge, and the dignity of the kingdom will be gone, and the law will become a dead letter, so it is necessary to unite all the countries that have suffered losses to seek justice from the High Elves, and if they refuse, then go to war." ”

"But, but Titania ......," Benjamin said, gesturing to the channel.

"That's His Highness Tristan, not Titania. Solomon corrected, "His Highness Tristan's suspicions are unfounded, the Titanians didn't think so when they made money, and they still excluded our merchants." As for this letter from His Royal Highness Tristan, you don't have to doubt that it does not represent Titania. ”

The three of them looked at Solomon in disbelief, of course they hoped that what Solomon said was true, but if Titania was really unwilling to join forces with Asturias on this, it would be difficult for Asturias to do it alone.

Solomon said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this letter from His Highness Tristan has come too early, and he should listen carefully to the voice of the country like the three of them before deciding." Besides, he is only the crown prince, not the emperor. I dare to assert that he underestimated the pressure that the merchants could put on him, and that if they were able to force the Duke of Alvarez's family to give in and open up the champerare franchise, they would have suffered so much today, and for the sake of future trade, they would certainly ask Titania to seek justice for them, even at the cost of war. We only need to firmly send a message to the Titanians that we are willing to declare war on the High Elves for our merchants. Then the people on the Titanian side will be encouraged, and they will go to ask Emperor Sauron to be the master. ”

Benjamin's faces softened a lot, and Krausa said: "Solomon, your words are very reasonable, the current situation is that no one wants to challenge the High Elves alone, so Tristan will write such a letter, but if all the countries see the courage of others, then the situation will be different." ”

"Yes. Solomon laughed and said that Kraussa was worthy of being the opponent he had fought against in the first place, and he quickly understood the current situation.

Although Tristan didn't want to get on this chariot, he was not the emperor of Titania, not to mention that Solomon had already figured out how to deal with it.

"Moreover, with His Highness Tristan, I also have a way to make him 'change his mind'. Solomon said lightly, "We just need to settle with the Rosary Bank and allow them to operate in Asturias again." Then, through this exchange of interests, let the Rose Bank come forward to support the brave second prince, His Royal Highness Garon, and then His Royal Highness Tristan will change his mind. ”

Kraussa was stunned, and then understood Solomon's tricks.

The true background of the Rose Bank, Klausa and the others only knew that there was a shadow of the Secret Palace and the Dark Council behind it, but they didn't know that it was completely created by the Blood Clan's Secret Party. But the relationship between the Rose Bank in Asturias, and even the Duke Solomon in front of him, turned from intimate to cold, until he was forced to withdraw from Asturias, which is known to many people.

After the withdrawal, the Rose Bank was quite inconvenient in the financial market of San Quentin, and later the financial market of Titania was established, and the Rose Bank made great efforts.

Now, if Asturias allows the Rose Bank to return, it will ease the previous relationship, and it can also make the Aurora Southerners follow suit, increasing the possibility that the Aurora people will also support the joint declaration of war, and at the same time, in exchange, it is even more miraculous for the Rose Bank to support the Garonne prince.

Prince Garon has almost lost his bid for the throne with Tristan, who has become the crown prince.

But in the current situation, many businessmen and the families behind them asked the empire to intervene, but Tristan, as the crown prince, ignored it, but the prince of Garon suddenly stood up to support, and the prince of Garon has always been known for his bravery. If, after the war, Prince Garon made great achievements and prestige by virtue of the war, Tristan would be in an extremely embarrassing and even dangerous situation.

If Tristan could see this quickly, he would have to change his position.

"Lord Duke, and one last question, do you want to preside over the war once it starts?" Austin asked.

This question is also the most concerned question of the three of them, but Solomon replied without thinking: "I don't think it's necessary, the current cabinet is presided over by you." Of course, I am willing to contribute my wisdom to the kingdom's victory in the war. ”

The three of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Declaring war on the High Elves, the kingdom will definitely have a commander to preside over the overall situation, but none of the three wants this person to be Solomon. (To be continued.) )
