Chapter 812 Heart-Breaking Plan

Troy has been enjoying a happy life recently.

His father Trosa died, leaving him the huge Trosa Chamber of Commerce, but also a huge mess.

Fortunately, he cleverly clung to Agaide's thigh, which saved the crisis.

Now, with his efforts, the Trosa Chamber of Commerce has passed the dangerous period and has recovered to become a behemoth spanning the entire Bracada.

However, there are still some hidden dangers in the Chamber of Commerce that have never been eliminated.

The biggest hidden danger is the debt problem of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Trosa Chamber of Commerce has many industries, but also a lot of debts.

Originally, the assets of the Trosa Chamber of Commerce far exceeded the debts, but when his father died, a large amount of assets were missing, causing the assets of the Trosa Chamber of Commerce to be seriously depleted.

Troy secretly calculated that if he wanted to pay off the debt, he had to put the entire Trosa Chamber of Commerce in it, which meant that the hard work of two generations of him and his father became someone else's.

This was something he could never tolerate.

Because of the serious debt problem, Troy's funds were very tight and his life was very tight, which was completely different from his idea of ​​"power in hand, living a life of luxury".

In order to get rid of this dilemma as soon as possible, Troy had to find a way to make some quick money.

By now, the division of power in Thunder City has been clear, and there is no room for quick money.

The situation of the major main cities is similar, and the ecological niches have been occupied.

Smart Troy set his sights on the not very developed Acropolis and County City.

In the eyes of other dignitaries in Thunder City, those County City and Acropolis are poor mountain valleys, where there is no oil and water to be made.

But in Troy's eyes, they are all big treasures.

...

...

Lan City.

A border county city in Bracada.

Lan City has twelve Acropolises under its jurisdiction. It is located in the barren northern border. It can be said that it is a three-no city with no resources, no talents, and no industries.

And Lan City is Troy's first target.

Boom...

The luxurious motorcade fell from the sky and stopped at the square of the castle of the Lord of Lancheng.

A whole row of expensive silver pneumatic cars showed the extraordinary status of the owner of the motorcade.

The Lord of Lancheng [Vasi] had been waiting for a long time with the bureaucrats of Lancheng.

Seeing Troy get off the pneumatic car, Vassi and his subordinates came to greet him.

"President Troy, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar.

Your visit really makes our Lancheng glorious.

I have arranged a grand welcoming banquet for you. Take a look. Why don't you take a rest first?"

Vasi smiled brightly and his heart was beating.

After being a poor city lord for so many years, it was finally his turn to turn over.

For him, Troy's arrival was like the God of Wealth descending from the sky!

Don't look at Troy's servility in front of Aeged and the Seven Pigeons, but here, he is a god.

Facing the hands that Vasi extended, he just shook them symbolically and said bluntly:

"Lord Vasi, there is no need for a welcoming party. Let's just do business in a businesslike manner and save time.

Conference room please?"

"Please! Please! Please! I've heard that President Troy is pragmatic and true.

The conference room has been prepared for you."

Facing Troy's ruthlessness, Vasi did not dare to have any opinions.

Soon, Troy followed Vasi to the conference room of the city lord's castle.

Sitting at the main seat at the conference table, Troy snapped his fingers, and the attendant beside him immediately handed over a document.

"Lord Vasi, you should have heard about our Trosa Chamber of Commerce's support plan for small and medium-sized cities.

The core purpose of this plan is to help all the large, medium and small cities in Bracada overcome the difficult transformation period.

Our Trosa Chamber of Commerce customizes appropriate development routes for each city based on its characteristics and provides assistance.

Let's see what the characteristics of your Lan City are."

As Troy spoke, he opened the file and read it slowly.

"Mineral deposits.

Lumberyard, barren, two, ordinary, none, rich, none.

Stone mine, barren, three, ordinary, none, rich, none.

Hiss, this...

It's okay, it's okay, it's normal that the basic resources are not good, many territories are like this.

Crystal, mercury, sulfur, gems, gold, no proven mines, rare resources, no specialties..."

Troy's face darkened as he read.

"There is almost no commercial construction. The trade routes are closed, and only armed airships can enter and exit.

The military position is ordinary, and the number of people is small...

The industrial facilities are weak...

Natural wonders, no..."

After reading to the end, not only Troy's face turned black, but Vasi's face was also a little embarrassed.

Troy put down the report in his hand, sighed, and said:

"Lord Vasi, forgive me for being blunt, the characteristic of your Lan City is that it has no characteristics.

For such a city, it is difficult for me to help."

"No, no, no."

Vasi was anxious when he heard it.

"President Troy, it is because our Lan City is poor that we need your help.

I heard that you are extremely smart and your business talent is the best in Yasha, even better than your father Trosa. If even you can't save our Lan City, our Lan City will really have no hope."

"Well, don't worry, let me think about it."

Troy leaned back in the chair, knocked on the armrest, and looked thoughtful.

"I'm a little thirsty."

As soon as Troy finished speaking, the servant wizard behind him was about to bring him tea, but Vasi took it with a smile.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Troy looked at Vasi with appreciation, took a sip of tea, and continued to think.

The tea was refilled cup after cup, and when Vasi was getting a little anxious, Troy finally responded.

He glanced around, leaned close to Vasi's ear, and whispered:

"Lord Vasi, if Lancheng wants to develop, there is only one way."

"Which way?"

"Tourism."

"Tourism?"

Vasi was a little stunned:

"President Troy, our Lancheng doesn't have any beautiful scenery, and the transportation is not convenient. Can we go to the tourism industry?"

"Who said that tourism must have beautiful scenery. Beautiful scenery is not as good as beautiful women.

I have carefully studied the report. There are very few young laborers in Vasi, and most of those men have gone to other developed main cities to work.

The ones left are women and the elderly.

Without people, it's just empty talk to want to develop .

But women are also productive.

Lord Vasi, have you heard of Flower Street? "

Vasi's heart trembled:

"President Troy, do you mean to let me organize my own subjects to do that kind of thing? This, this, this..."

"Hey, listen to me."

Troy raised his head and said:

"It doesn't have to be your own subjects. Workers can be imported from other forces.

Lizardmen in the fortress, cat women, bunny girls, fox people in the stronghold, Medusa in the dungeon, nuns in the castle, and succubi in hell.

These are the favorite things of the masters of Thunder City.

In Thunder City, the masters have to be sneaky when they play, Because openly, the law of the Great Council does not allow it.

But here, the sky is high and the Titan is far away, and the only way in and out is by armed airship, and no one can find out. Is there any place more suitable than your place?

Lord Vasi, guess how much does a fox girl cost per night in the Thunder City Oracle? "

Vasi's throat moved, and hesitantly said:

"At least one thousand gold coins, right?"

Troy curled his lips in disdain:

"Too small, too small. One thousand gold coins, that's half the price.

One night, at least ten thousand! This is still an ordinary fox girl. If it is a top-level fox girl who can get herself moist without touching, it starts at 200,000 gold coins. , there is no upper limit.

The prices in Lancheng are definitely not as high as those in the Divine Realm, and you can't find such high quality, but we can win by quantity.

To make money, either you sell at a high price for quality or at a low price for quantity.

If we can't compete with high prices, we can compete in different positions and sell at a low profit but high volume.

If this is developed, I dare not even think about the daily income, and I dare not say how much it will be, but it is guaranteed to be a million gold coins a day.

Look, our industry has been built, and we need employees, right? Guards, right? Drivers, right? Cleaners, right?

Isn't the employment problem of the people solved?"

Hearing Troy's words, Vasi's mind was completely fascinated.

In front of him, he seemed to see a large piece of gold coins with wings flying around his head.

He said quickly:

"President Troy, you are right, I am your little brother, I will do whatever you say, I will follow you."

Troy smiled and said quietly:

"Okay! Now that we have a direction, we need to see how to start.

We must get the start-up capital first.

We certainly cannot say directly that we want to open a flower street, we must find a reason.

If there are no natural wonders, then we can build miracle buildings.

I can use my personal name to sponsor 500,000 gold coins as the infrastructure funds for Lancheng, and then borrow 50 million from the Thunder City Treasury in the name of the city's basic investment and construction.

"Fifty, fifty million!"

Vasi's eyes widened:

"This, this, fifty million, the interest alone is five million, how can I pay it back."

Troy slapped Vassy's hand.

"Hey, silly, why do you want to pay it back.

The due date is five years later.

Our project is up and Lancheng is developing so well, can you not move forward?

How to repay the money is the business of your next city lord. What does it have to do with you? "

Vasi suddenly realized, but then he felt a little uneasy:

"This, but, a loan of 50 million, can the big treasury approve it? "

"Why not? "

Troy smiled mysteriously:

"For you, 50 million gold coins is a huge number, but for the big treasury, it is like pulling a scale from 90,000 wild bulls.

As long as our project plan is well done and the reasons are justified, we can guarantee that the loan will be issued.

It's just that I have to waste a lot of effort to run around. "

After hearing Troy's words, Vasi looked at his expression and suddenly realized:

"President Troy, the Trosa Chamber of Commerce has provided such selfless assistance. On behalf of the thousands of people in Lancheng, I would like to thank you. "

"Oh? Just thank you, then this fund may not be easy to approve. "

Troy crossed his feet, calm and composed.

"No. "

Vasi came close to Troy and said:

"President, I think that if we want to complete the infrastructure construction of Lancheng, we don't need 50 million, 40 million will be enough."

Troy looked at Vasi with approval and nodded slowly.

"Very good, then you can be your city lord at ease and wait for our good news. "

...

…

How to divide the remaining 40 million between Vasi and the others is Vasi's business, and Troy is not greedy.

His vision is much longer term.

One city is 10 million, ten is 100 million, and 100 is one billion.

I don’t know if Lancheng can defeat Troy by relying on quantity, but he won anyway.

As a big shot from Thunder City, those city lords would not or dare not think that he would deceive people.

"President, the first six batches of funds have been received, and our total income is 76 million.

This fund has already gone into your private treasury and is not in the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce. "

After hearing the news from his entourage, Troy slowly opened his eyes.

He smiled slightly and nodded.

The accompanying mage hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously:

“President, is the risk too high?

The gold coins in the big treasury were not brought by the strong wind, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? It will starve the bold to death and starve to death the timid.

Don't worry, those city lords are more afraid of trouble than we are. They will definitely make clear accounts, 50 million, and ensure that every gold coin is used for city construction.

Even if you are really caught, so what?

What does it have to do with our Trossa Chamber of Commerce? We just helped those cities prepare a project document. Not to mention collecting money, we also invested money. "

Troy waved his hands nonchalantly and said:

"You still don't understand.

If something happens to us, it will only mean that our backend is not strong enough, not that we have enriched our own pockets too much.

If I don’t line my own pockets, how can I feed our backstage?

This Bracada is a place where individuals eat people.

It is not a sin for us to eat people, it is a sin for adults not to have enough to eat. "

"Yes, I understand."

The accompanying mage retreated behind Troy and remained silent.

Troy didn't know at this time that everything he did, seemingly innocuous, was taking away the last cornerstone of Brakada.

The big treasury draws accounts and lends money to local cities. The local cities receive funds. After rounds of corruption, very few can actually be used for construction.

The loans of the big treasury are not repaid in one lump sum after five years. This is too risky for the big treasury.

When they borrow money, they start repaying the principal with interest from the moment they borrow the money, and they continue to pay it back for five years.

Once the money is in hand, the city lord cannot repay it with the borrowed money, so the money is borrowed in vain, and they cannot be greedy.

They will find ways to pay it back with taxes.

To put it simply, it is to extract funds from the citizens of the city to fill their corruption holes.

The 50 million allocation is income to the city lord and bureaucrats, but it is a natural disaster to the citizens of the city.

Cities that can be blackmailed by Troy are not rich themselves, and their taxes will naturally not be too high. A sudden increase in taxes will be like a mountain bearing down on its top, and will quickly destroy the lives of its residents.

Of course, the city lords who saw the coffers full, drinking wine and enjoying themselves would not notice this.

They didn't notice it, but other thoughtful people saw all this early.

After sorting out the information in her hands, Mixue Bingtang felt a little emotional.

“Oh my gosh, this Troy is such a talent.

If we hadn't really contacted him, I would have even thought he was from our side. "

Ernie shook his head, with a bit of sadness on his face:

“When I was the financial controller of Bracada, the things I worried about most were happening one by one.

In Cold Spring City, the city lord issued a decree. In order to prevent someone from driving up the value of food, the sale of grain was prohibited, and the city lord's government was responsible for the exclusive sale of food.

Then the city lord packed and sold the good grain in the city, bought some bad buckwheat and dough, and sold them at a high price.

In Winter Night City, the city lord imposed a stay tax on caravans.

As long as a merchant passes through Winter Night City, even if he does not trade in Winter Night City, he still needs to pay taxes.

If there were not enough gold coins, goods would be forcibly collected as taxes.

In the Falling Moon Territory, the city lord packaged and sold the thirty-year income rights of Falling Moon Lake, converting the city's public resources into gold coins.

In order to ensure that they can make money, the buyers of the income rights have surrounded Falling Moon Lake, and ordinary citizens are required to charge for fishing, collecting falling moon stones, etc.

All of this is simply a chaotic dance of demons. "

Michelle Bingtang asked Erni:

"Teacher, how long do you think Brakada can last?"

Elnie thought for a while and said:

"Three years, within three years, there will definitely be large-scale unrest across the country in Brakada."

Michelle Bingtang smiled slightly:

"It's too late, we need to make the process faster.

Within three months, we will have the first rebel city that declares independence appear in Bracada. "

"oh?"

Elnie was a little surprised:

"What do you want to do?"

Michelle Bingtang smiled and pointed at the map:

“Hmph, the moment we have been waiting for has arrived.

I want to drain the bottom of the cauldron and drain Brakada's capital pool in one go!

I want to pierce the heart of Brakada Financial with a sharp sword, make a big hole in the heart, and let the blood spurt out.

I call it the heart-wrenching plan! "
