Chapter 514 Financial War
In Stormwind City, the [Jenova Chamber of Commerce] has purchased a twelve-story magic tower as its headquarters.
Qi Ge stood under the magic tower at the headquarters of the [Jenova Chamber of Commerce], feeling very emotional.
Even he had to admit that Mixue Bingtang's abilities were outstanding.
In just ten days, the size of the [Jenova Chamber of Commerce] expanded exponentially into a behemoth.
Just as he was sighing, a familiar voice came from behind him.
“Dignified guest, are you the person the president is waiting for?
I am the secretary of the president. Please follow me to the top floor. "
Qi Ge turned around and saw an elf in butler uniform standing behind him holding his hands and smiling lightly at him.
Although the other party used disguise, Qi Ge easily recognized the other party's true identity.
Yo! Pope Hove, you had a good time?
"Yes, that's me. Please."
Qi Ge raised his eyebrows, smiled and said hello to Huo Fu.
"this way please!"
Qige followed Huo Fu and entered the magic tower through the back door of the Chamber of Commerce.
Here are the hidden steps in the Magic Tower.
The blue stone steps were covered with dust, and the handrails were covered with unswept spider webs.
The sun shines from the window, and through the sunlight you can see little white dots flying randomly.
There was no one around and there was silence.
Huo Fu, who was climbing the stairs, slowed down, fell back, and stuck to Qi Ge.
She whispered in a hoarse voice:
"Qi Ge, Elni and Moriel have returned to Black Dragon City, and I'm here to help Michelle Bingtang.
The cleaning work of the Jenova Chamber of Commerce has also been completed, and the top management are now members of our Wealth Church. "
Qi Ge asked in a low voice:
"Where's Jenova? Have you said hello?"
“Don’t worry, Jenova has arrived in our wealth circle to temporarily take over my position.
We are already a regular army through and through, and no one would think that we are fakes. "
"great."
Qi Ge smiled first, and then asked doubtfully:
"Speaking of which, why do we have to lower our voices and speak like this? Hasn't the protective barrier been deployed in the magic tower?"
"That must be because it feels better to speak like this!
After all, we are an evil organization with heinous crimes now. "
Qige categorically denied:
“Nonsense, we are obviously heroes who uphold justice.
Bracada's money is evil money.
And ours is justice incarnate.
When evil money comes into our hands, it will turn into righteous money. "
Qi Ge and Huo Fu smiled at each other, showing a look of embarrassment.
Qi Ge followed Huo Fu out of the secret passage of Mixue Bingtang's office, and immediately saw a pile of various documents on a desk.
Michelle Bingtang poked her head out from the sea of documents, glanced at the two of them, and then immediately buried her head back.
She said loudly:
"Qi Ge, you are here.
You sit down for a moment and wait until I finish what I'm doing and come over to entertain you. "
"good."
Qi Ge and Hof sat opposite each other, and Hof made tea for Qi Ge very skillfully.
Qi Ge looked at the mountain of documents in front of Mixue Bingtang and asked Hof doubtfully:
"Didn't you say the network will be closed soon? Why does Mixue Bingtang still have so many files to process?"
Hof smiled and replied:
“It’s just the first phase of closing the net.
The entire plan is still far from over. "
"Huh?" Qi Ge was even more confused.
“I don’t know much about finance, so I left the entire plan to Bingtang.
I remember what Bingtang said before.
After gathering a wave of funds, they will leave.
Have circumstances changed? "
Huo Fu glanced at Qige with admiration and said:
"Yes! The first phase of the plan went more smoothly than we imagined, and we successfully raised a lot of funds.
We were already preparing to run away, but suddenly a surprise fell from the sky.
Things start with the invasion of the will of the abyss.
The Will of the Abyss fought all the way from Lava City to Thunder City.
All the cities along the way from Lava City to Thunder City were attacked to a greater or lesser extent.
Many heroes and soldiers who invested in us died in battle.
Unlike Erathia, which is a family system, most of the mages and djinn in Brakada adhere to the principle of celibacy.
This led to the development of the prostitution industry in Bracada and the extremely large number of bachelors in Bracada.
Once they die, all investments and bonds become ours.
Especially the financial backers in Thunder City are all extremely wealthy and generous.
Lord Elmo alone gave us one million Titan coins, which is ten million gold coins.
This even changed my impression of those mages.
Although they oppress and exploit all kinds of evil, they are all kind-hearted and good people. "
Qi Ge:......
Qi Ge was shocked.
"Is there such a thing?"
Hof smiled proudly and said:
“We now have a huge extra asset out of thin air.
The [Headless Titan Coin] that can be confirmed now is close to 20 million.
There will be more when we finish counting them all. "
Qi Ge was in a complicated mood.
Black swan events can bring both unexpected shocks and magical surprises.
It seems that Ur, the black swan, has feathers made of gold, so red that it turns black.
"With the huge assets and the official endorsement of the [Jenova Chamber of Commerce], it would be foolish to run away directly."
Just then, Mixue Bingtang came over.
She said enthusiastically:
"We can use this money as a fulcrum to pry the lever and make a big wave!"
Faced with the huge surprise, Qi Ge was not overwhelmed.
He asked calmly:
"Bingtang, tell me in detail, what do you want to do?"
Mi Xue Bingtang slammed the table hard and said in a shocking voice:
"I want to borrow money from the [Brakada National Treasury]!"
"National Treasury?"
Qi Ge was stunned for a moment and asked:
"We are so rich, still borrowing? How big a deal do you want to do?"
"It is easy to borrow money only if you have money! Banks only lend large sums of money to rich people.
The richer you are, the easier it is to borrow money, and those who are short of money cannot borrow money.
Her Majesty Elni and I have studied the financial system of Bracada together.
In fact, Bracada overdrew a lot of future money for construction, which allowed Bracada to maintain superficial prosperity.
And the source of everything is the [Brakada National Treasury].
The [Brakada National Treasury] can be simply regarded as the central bank of Bracada. OK.
In the early days, the [Braccada National Treasury] carried out economic activities with high interest and high returns.
For example, lend money to pseudo-legends who are expanding the wasteland to help them build cities, and then slowly extract interest and principal from the income after the city is built.
For example, in war, use the assets of merchants as collateral to lend money to merchants in the ocean to purchase goods, and repay the interest and principal in one lump sum after the merchants return from the transaction.
Most of those who borrowed money from the [Braccada National Treasury] in the early days had a high social status, and if they were not careful, they would easily go bad.
In order to maintain their own development environment, the [Braccada National Treasury] and the [Thunder Church] cooperate with each other.
The [Braccada National Treasury] provides high tax revenues for the [Thunder Church], and the [Thunder Church] protects the [Braccada National Treasury] to carry out high-profit activities business.
Therefore, in the early days, the [Braccada National Treasury] became an affiliated economic institution of the [Thunder Church], and in turn, the [Thunder Church] also became a favorable support for the [Braccada National Treasury] to cover up.
By the way, the [Thunder Church] is a powerful organization that controls the highest divine power, highest political power, and highest military power in Bracada.
Therefore, the cooperation between the [Braccada National Treasury] and the [Thunder Church] can be described in the simplest and most straightforward terms as:
Money-power cooperation.
[Power] uses power to ensure that [money] flows toward [power].
[Money] uses power to ensure that more money can be earned steadily.
Later, with the issuance of Titan Coin, the status of the [Braccada National Treasury] became more and more important.
Gradually, the [Braccada National Treasury] has more functions.
For example, deposits and withdrawals, small loans for all people, etc.
The heroes have space backpacks and can carry gold coins and resources without restrictions. Therefore, even if there is interest as an attraction, the enthusiasm of the heroes of Bracada for deposits is quite limited.
Therefore, the [Bracada National Treasury] stipulates that if you want to take out a loan, in addition to the collateral, you must deposit a certain amount of gold coins as a guarantee.
This seems to have fallen into a strange situation.
People who lack gold coins need loans, but loans require depositing gold coins. Isn't this a joke?
In fact, when heroes deposit money in the [Bracada National Treasury], they deposit gold coins.
But what they loan out are all Titan coins.
For example, a hero deposits 10,000 gold coins and then mortgages assets worth 100,000 gold coins, and can borrow 200,000 Titan coins from the [Bracada National Treasury].
Relying on the official reputation of Bracada as a guarantee, Titan coins have the same purchasing power as gold coins in Bracada.
It is precisely because of the existence of the [Bracada National Treasury] that Titan coins can replace gold coins as the mainstream currency in Bracada. ”
Mi Xue Bing Tang took a breath and continued:
“It is precisely because of this system that Bracada’s wealth is inevitably centralized.
When the business scale reaches a certain level, those who want to engage in business cannot compete with opponents with strong capital without borrowing money (financing).
And the source of all financing will point to the [Bracada National Treasury].
[Bracada National Treasury] has not purchased any industry, but just keeps borrowing money, and can continue to obtain extremely huge profits.
But this system also has a big drawback.
What I have to do is to take advantage of this drawback, break through the [Bracada National Treasury], and make Titan Coin lose its credibility. ”
Hoff smiled and said:
“The existence of Titan Coin will pose a great threat to the normal circulation of gold coins.
This is also what the God of Wealth cannot allow.
Therefore, our Fortune Church also gives Bing Tang the greatest support.
Bing Tang’s plan is no longer just about you and Bing Tang, Qi Ge.
This is a war, a financial war between our Fortune Church and Bracada. ”
Financial war…
In the real world, financial war refers to wars, strategies, tactics and campaigns conducted and implemented in military or non-military fields using monetary funds and financing methods to strive for the interests of the country or group.
The outcome of the financial war not only determines the life and death of commercial entities (enterprises, chambers of commerce) and the success or failure of the military, but also determines the strength and decline of the country and the nation.
There are countless examples of countries being destroyed due to defeat in financial wars.
It seems that the Wealth Church is getting serious.
From this point of view, it is no accident that Mixue Bingtang became the God of Fortune just one year after coming to Yasha World.
What the Church of Fortune is looking for should be Mixue Bingtang’s business capabilities.
"I see."
Qi Ge asked softly:
"Then what happened to the request you mentioned before?"
Michelle Bingtang blinked and said with a smile:
"I need to use your goblin tavern and use your identity as His Majesty Agede to endorse me.
I'm going to start buying the factory in Bracada.
This war between Brakada and Negan caused many city lords to lose their money.
You destroyed those factories to pieces again.
Many city owners are unable to resume factory production and are putting their factories up for sale.
I can buy a lot of factory shells at the broken price. "
When Qi Ge heard this, he immediately understood:
“Most of the production lines in those factories have fallen into the hands of the Church of Fortune and Moriel.
Once you buy the shell, you can resume production at the factory at an extremely low price! "
"That's right!"
Michelle Bingtang smiled proudly:
“Once the Titan coins leave Bracada, they are just a pile of waste paper.
Only by converting Titan coins into various products of real value can you get considerable gold coins.
Moreover, with these factories as cover, we can recruit goblins in Bracada unscrupulously and constantly transfer goblins to the Chosen City.
In addition, we can also use these factories as collateral to the [Bracada National Treasury] to loan out more Titan coins.
The loaned Titan coins are used to invest in other industries, and then used to continue to mortgage, and more Titan coins are loaned out.
Use leverage to leverage new levers and continuously expand the industry.
Then the physical output of the industry is secretly delivered to the Church of Fortune and the City of God’s Choice.
Borrow Bracada's chickens to lay our eggs.
It doesn't matter if I lose the money, I never thought about paying back the principal in the first place.
If something goes wrong, I'll run away immediately!
We ate the eggs and left the rotting dead chickens for Bracada to clean up.
If it goes well, the plate will be built big enough and the credibility of Titancoin will be destroyed in one wave.
Even if it doesn't go well, this trick can act as a major earthquake that causes a financial tsunami! "
After the plan was finished, Michelle Bingtang and Huo Fu showed proud expressions on their faces at the same time.
"Hiss~"
Qi Ge took a breath of cold air.
"You are good or bad, you are trying to punish Brakada to death."
"Just tell me whether you like it or not?"
Qi Ge was shocked: "I like it!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Michelle Bingtang narrowed her eyes and let out a cunning laugh.
The three of them laughed together for a while, and Qige asked Mixue Bingtang:
"By the way, Bingtang, the county upgrade plan mentioned earlier is about to begin.
Do you have time to go back to God's Chosen City? "
"Ah, this is... troublesome.
There are a lot of things I have to deal with here, but building a city is also a big deal. "
Michelle Bingtang frowned and said with some confusion:
"Sorry, I can only spare one day for Qi Ge."
"I probably won't be able to finish it in one day."
Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows.
At this moment, Hof took a sip of tea and said elegantly:
"Elnie is pretty busy over there. You can come over and help at any time."
Mixue Bingtang turns worries into joy:
“It would be okay if the teacher came.
I have been reporting information to the teacher recently, and the teacher is more familiar with the situation in Brakada than I am.
If you work hard as a teacher, you can spare as much time as you like! "
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said: "Then you wait for my news. When the time is up, I will come to pick you up and go back to meet you."
"good!!"
Qi Ge sat next to Mixue Bingtang for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Before leaving, Qige said to Mixue Bingtang:
"Bingtang, no matter what, you have to pay attention to safety. It doesn't matter even if the plan fails.
Your status is special and you don't even have the ability to commit suicide.
Some tricks that are ineffective for us ordinary players may not be effective for you.
You are more important to me than destroying Bracada's economy. "
"What a coincidence, in my mind too."
Michelle Bingtang said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Huofu and Your Majesty Sirui are here.
What's more, I still have Dingdong to protect me! "
After leaving Stormwind City, Qi Ge arrived at [Silverwind City] through the portal.
Li Xiaobai, who had already left [Thunder City], was waiting for him here.
They were going to [Camellia Oil City] to meet up with Agaide and Lin Xi.
Because the teleportation hub of [Maple Leaf City] was destroyed by Seven Pigeons, all the cities in the southern part of Brakada are unable to use the teleportation array.
Qi Ge could only take the armed airship over with Li Xiaobai.
Even if the airship can travel in a straight line, it will still take a day and a night to reach [Camellia Oil City].
On the airship, Qi Ge opened a double room and lived with Li Xiaobai.
With rare free time, Qi Ge began to sort out the drawings he had obtained in the past three weeks in Historical Echoes.
In the past two weeks, Qi Ge did not pursue the ultimate in the historical echoes because he was worried about the Negan war and the [Heavenly Changes] plan.
He just completed the clearance conditions and left the historical echoes.
Therefore, Qi Ge did not get anything good in three weeks.
In addition to some ordinary and hidden buildings, there are only four miracle building blueprints in total.
They are [Treasure Black Market], [Wandering Magician's Hut], [Warrior's Tomb], and [Time Market]
[Treasure Black Market Building Blueprints

Qi Ge has a great harvest, and Li Xiaobai is not bad either.
Just one NPC mythical soldier [Black Shadow Lizard Dragon] is enough for Qi Ge to envy.
Qi Ge himself does not have any NPC mythical soldiers.
[Name: Shadow Reality
Race: Black Shadow Lizard Dragon
Faction: Nigan
Level 3, Tier 5 Mythical
Attack: 46
Defense: 55
Life: 800
Speed: 14
Damage: 68-88
Special Skills:
Giant Soldier.
Permanent Invisibility: Permanent Invisibility. Invisible when attacking, but can be counterattacked. Invisible state cannot be the target of single magic.
Ignore terrain when moving.
Cooperative Attack: When there are enemies around you and your teammates attack the enemy, immediately add an attack to the enemy, and this attack will not be counterattacked. 】
Qi Ge looked at the attributes of the Black Shadow Lizard in the [Knight Token] and was very excited.
A permanently invisible soldier will not be actively attacked or hit by single-target magic as long as the opponent does not have the ability to counter invisibility.
Unlike the special stunt mythical soldiers such as the Eternal Sleeping Dragon, the Shadow Lizard Dragon is simply strong.
"Boss, this mythical soldier is so abnormal."
Li Xiaobai muttered:
"No matter how you look at it, I think it is abnormal.
It just lacks the ability to attack without counterattack.
If the [Shadow Lizard Dragon] has the ability to attack without counterattack, it will be invincible.
It is used to brush wild monsters that cannot be counter-invisible. As long as there is enough time, one can kill countless enemies."
"Yeah. Can a mythical soldier not be abnormal?
If it is not strong, it is not a mythical."
Qi Ge nodded and said:
"Level 4 earth magic, [Sword of Slowness], can add the [No Counterattack] special skill to the troops.
Ask Le Meng to find out if he can get the magic book."
Li Xiaobai looked tangled:
"Before that, we still I have to find a way to trick [Shadow's Reality] into my hands.
I communicated with it several times, but it rejected me.
It didn't want to submit to me at all. "
Qi Ge looked at Li Xiaobai with a sidelong look and said:
"Of course.
Mythical troops are few in number and powerful, so of course they are arrogant.
Even some true legendary heroes who have not accumulated enough have no mythical troops under their command.
It's normal for [Shadow's Reality] to look down on you.
Don't worry, when we get to the God's Chosen City, we will release [Shadow's Reality] and let Milora get close to [Shadow's Reality].
In front of the 9th-level lucky envoy, it will understand what it means to be under the eaves and have to bow its head. "
Li Xiaobai understood instantly and laughed.
"By the way, boss.
When [Shadow's Reality] threatened me, it said that it was a lizard dragon with the noble bloodline of the shadow dragon.
Boss, what kind of dragon is the shadow dragon?"
"Shadow dragon?"
Qi Ge was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't that a creature from the Shadow Realm? Can a shadow dragon come to the main world to meet a lizard?"
