Section 216 Diplomatic Situation (3)
This trade route, even second-lane dealers can make a lot of money, but it is a bit dangerous.
Because the northern orcs live together, the half-orcs are born more and more, and those half-orcs are not all able to enter the army, although the royal family wants to use the half-orcs, but it is impossible for the half-orcs to become the absolute main force of the kingdom's army, even if the heavy losses after the battle with Asturias twenty years ago and the need to replenish a lot of combat power, it is only for the second army of the half-orcs to be established.
In this way, there are a large number of orcs, especially the young half-orcs of the past twenty years, who have nothing to do, and who have to cause trouble all day long, and some of them have become robbers and thieves.
And the southern nobles are not to be seen in the north, their trade caravans are naturally fat sheep, Count Rogge fell the frieze, his caravan originally hired a high-level swordsman, but this time the half-orc robbers who started his caravan were four nearby gangs joint action, or robbed him, although the high-level swordsman killed the leader of a gang and severely injured the other two leaders, but his men did not block the attack of the half-orc robbers, and most of the goods were robbed, so that Count Rogge could not deliver the goods, and he had to compensate.
Similarly, when the Free City was built, it was also worried about orcs on the outside, and it fought a few battles, but there was no internal trouble like orcs on the inside.
Aurora is different, and it is enough to allow orcs to live together, but this kind of mixed dwelling is actually a group of orcs, not completely scattered like Asturias did with the wood elves, and the use of orcs has to make it a problem for a long time.
Count Rogge suffered a great loss, and he died as a horse doctor. Only then did I decide to accept the consulting services of Chuangshen Limited. He obediently invested all the living money in his hand at that time into the stock market in Asturias. Not only did he earn back the capital, but he also earned back the money that needed to be compensated.
It was as if luck had changed, and other things had to take a turn for the better, chasing down the orc robbers, and getting back most of the goods that had been taken away for him, so that his losses would be smaller, and as soon as these goods were taken back and resold, he had more money in his hands.
So Murphy advised him to keep investing. But Count Rogge was a little worried, and never agreed.
"Mr. Murphy, I know you are for my good, but Aurora's relationship with Asturias has never been very good, if I invest it all, you also said that if you want to make a lot of money this time, the cycle will be longer than before, so I can't help but worry. Rogge said tactfully.
"Mr. Rogge, you always have to take some risks to make money. Murphy said. "If you're worried about finding out that the money came from Aurora, I have a way to avoid it. You can help you with this through our Creator God Ltd., we can use the accounts of many native Asturians to help you diversify your investments, so that others will not notice that it comes from you, and when we make money, we will collect it for you through some operations, of course, you have to give us some service fees to do so. ”
Count Rogge was a little moved and hesitated. Murphy's idea did help him avoid some risks, but it was not absolutely without risks, such as handing over all the money to the name of the Creator God Company, in case they turned around, it would be gone.
"Lord Earl, you can't trust me and the Creation God Company, right? Actually, the purpose of our service for you is to establish a reputation in Aurora, so you can rest assured. Murphy said meaningfully.
Count Rogge was stunned, but he suddenly figured it out, Murphy's purpose was to expand his business in Aurora, if it was just to set up a set to make his own money, it would undoubtedly be a small loss, so subjectively the probability of the other party cheating him is very small, I am afraid that I am only afraid of investing through this kind of rat warehouse behavior, but if I encounter a big bear market, I will still not be able to get it back.
"Count Rog, although our Creation God Co., Ltd. was established by Asturias, our business has no boundaries, we are not serving Asturias, we are serving our own interests, we are serving money, serving all those who have money, you don't have to worry about us serving politics excessively in business, on the contrary, the economy determines the superstructure. ”
"The economy determines the superstructure?" said Count Rogge, stunned.
Murphy explained this sentence from his boss a little, and Count Rogge couldn't help but feel a kind of regret in his heart. Aurora is too backward in this regard, those stupid, short-sighted Yankees, and those half-orc mongrels, the alliance of orc mongrels controls the kingdom, and it is because of them that Aurora is already too backward.
If Aurora also had a stock market like Asturias and a full-fledged futures exchange, he would not have to worry about having his property confiscated because of the relationship between the two countries.
It is no wonder that Count Rogge lamented in his heart that Aurora's development in this area is not much better than that of the Saxons, and the only thing that follows the example is in the form of commercial organization, and Aurora's commercial alliance has also largely abandoned the past form, but is united in the form of a limited liability company.
However, the same system has a congenital flaw in Aurora, that is, even if it adopts the organizational form of the company, it lacks political guarantees.
The companies now formed are all associations of merchants or certain families, who can operate privately in the form of joint-stock companies, but they are not openly registered, as in Asturias, and endorsed by the power of the state to operate and distribute benefits.
For businessmen, there is no public recognition and endorsement of the power of the state, even if there is a more advanced business model, but the internal interests of the struggle are often disorderly, more cruel, have to find a more powerful wealthy family to act as a notary, sometimes there will be an incident of leading the wolf into the house, several shareholders have repented for the sake of interests, the party that suffers the loss attracts the high nobles to uphold justice, and the result is that the high nobles see the wealth, and also intervene to get a piece of the pie; The "wolf" swallowed it in one bite and made a wedding dress for others.
The consequence of this is that the mergers of the wealthy will intensify, and the benefits will go to the predators, while the business development will not benefit from it, even if the company model is adopted. It is useless to remain unchanged.
And for Aurora. There is a lack of political guarantees. These private alliances are huge losses in terms of tax revenue alone.
Therefore, when Solomon came out of the Free City, he wrote to the supreme power of Asturias, and received the support of Regina, so that it could be solidified from the political level and then promoted.
In fact, this is the order that needs to be established, and the nobles and merchants in the south of Aurora who are learning from other countries want to establish an order that adapts to it. But the North is more resistant.
Count Rogge couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, we southerners are going to launch the Marquis of Gerald this time, hoping that he can replace Carlo Grenan, fight for the rights and interests of the south, and also promote changes in Aurora." ”――
The soft music continued to play, and the upper-class people who were indulged in pleasure enjoyed the wine to their heart's content, and they were really afraid of the car under the help of the music.
Jumping and jumping, those who see the right eye will quietly hide behind the curtain or in some secret room to do something they love, and of course, if you can get the room key at this kind of party, you must have a good relationship with the party organizer.
There are still some that have nowhere to go. They will even quietly exit and go to their carriage**.
And those who are very self-motivated. After dancing a few songs, get rid of the entanglement of men (women), and then start talking about a core character as a circle.
Belvian and Roaine did not stay long in the corner, for at some point someone came to Belvian and whispered a few words to him, so the baron took his lover and secretly left the ballroom.
"Where are we going?" Roaina was a little reluctant, she seemed to want to go up and have a good time, of course, she wouldn't dare to look at the right behavior among the nobles, Belleveven would be jealous, and her current status came from him.
"Go to my brother, he has something to call me over. Belvian pulled her into the luxurious carriage, the coachman shook his whip, the wheels turned, and the carriage left silently.
Roaina's eyes lit up a little, she had been with Bellevin for a long time, but whenever Belleveven had something serious to do, he usually put her home, and tonight was an exception, it seemed that his position in his heart was finally solidified.
"When you get there, you'll be put in a room somewhere and wait for me, don't run around. "If my brother is happy tonight, maybe I'll mention you in front of him." ”
The carriage turned through the streets and finally stopped in front of the residence of the Marquis de Jade.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a man who looked like a butler, and he ordered his attendants and a guard with a somewhat grim face, who should be the marquis's guard, to take Roaina down.
"Wait. Roaina hugged Belleveven tightly, and this affection made the Marquis de Jaybit's butler stunned for a moment.
Belvian thought that she was deliberately trying to show her status in front of everyone, but to be honest, he was infatuated with this woman, otherwise he would not be reluctant to let her go today, but when Gerald urgently summoned him, he brought her and prepared to mention her in front of the marquis, which was equivalent to officially letting her brother know.
The hearts were different, but no one noticed that when Roaina hugged her tightly and crossed her hands into Belvein's cloak, there was a black beetle in it.
"Go ahead, dear, I'll be waiting for you. Roaina kissed Belleveven as if she were a dragonfly.
Belvian followed the butler's footsteps into the study of the Marquis Gerald, but in addition to the Marquis Gerald, there was also a man who looked very young and handsome, but his face was unusually pale, and there was a melancholy temperament between his eyebrows.
After the butler retreated, the Marquis Gerald, who looked somewhat similar to Belvian, but was older and had a much deeper temperament, introduced to his younger brother: "Belvian, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Raymond of the Rose Bank. ”
After a brief introduction to the two, Belleveven knew the identity of the man in front of him, who turned out to be one of the two executive directors of Rose Bank, a financier who is now influential in various countries, and the other executive director is said to be a beautiful woman.
