Realm of Power

The port city of Feishan Kingdom in the south of Obarro, Luansok,

The city's yellow floor intervals stopped in front of the car window. The Falcon Empire businessman Lawrence got off the black carriage in a black dress with a brushstrokes.

He raised his head and glanced at the exchange, which was just around the corner. He adjusted the collar of his clothes slightly with his hands, then took out a heavy briefcase from the carriage. It was so bulging that he didn't know what was inside. He walked into the exchange.

This figure who was known as a ghost general in the former Kingdom of Nord, now looks like a typical second-generation nobleman, with swollen eyes, hair cleaned with an egg white comb, a pale face, and a staggering step. At first glance, he looks like that An aristocratic young man who didn't walk very much all year round opened the door of the exchange and was greeted by a burst of chatter.

"What should we do? If we don't take action, we will all lose!"

"Who says it's not the case? If I had known that the Golden Ticket of the Business Alliance would have such problems, I shouldn't have bought it in the first place!"

"What are you complaining about? You just bought one for 3,000 gold coins, but I bought two for 10,000 gold coins! It's over, it's over, there's no way you can escape this time, at least five years of work have been in vain!"

The exchange was full of people. Businessmen from all over the place were talking here and there. Most of them had dead faces and their voices were filled with all kinds of frustration. In their hands, they were holding a stack of There were stacks of bills, and the counter for bill exchange had a sign saying "Exchange Suspended Today". On the contrary, there were not many people in front of the counter for other business.

"Your Excellency, is there anything I can do to help you?" A business staff member from the exchange appeared in front of Noras. His eyes glanced at the bulging bag in Noras's hand, and his face was a little ugly. "I want to exchange some business alliances." "Golden ticket!" Noras raised the bulging briefcase in his hand.

"I'm sorry, if you are here to return the Business Alliance gold ticket, you can only wait until tomorrow. The exchange quota of the exchange has been completely used up!"

The salesperson saluted and looked a little ugly when he heard that he was here to exchange the Gold Tickets of the Business Alliance. In the past two days, there have been too many people requesting exchanges. If you have read this chapter, please go to: Chinese. Read the latest chapter. The financial earthquake caused by Lisbon in the north is erupting in the inland sea area in the south. The trade suspension in Lisbon has caused the trade atmosphere in the southern region to suddenly change. Heavy and weird. Many merchants who redeemed the Gold Tickets of the Business Alliance immediately crowded the exchanges in various places.

"Have all the exchanges been completed? And what's your attitude? I'm a guest!" Naturally, Noras didn't pay attention to the salesman's emotions. He showed an angry look and did not leave. Instead, he placed the briefcase in his hand heavily on the exchange counter. "Sir, today's exchange limit has been..." The salesman's tone became a little impatient. Who are they? The concerned nobles heard the news from somewhere and hurried over. If they were really that kind of big nobles with backgrounds, they would not come to the exchange at all. Instead, they would directly ask the housekeeper to transfer the people from the exchange to the exchange. I called him over, but there were too many people around. Some of the salesmen dared to be angry and dare not speak out. "This time it is all thanks to your help that we have achieved such results. This is the reward this time. Please don't dislike it." At this time, in a room on the second floor of the exchange, a The middle-aged man with the double-headed eagle trade mark on his chest was pushing a heavy bag in front of the person in charge of the exchange on the other side of the seat. "President Aurelio, I dare not say that. This time your business group is for the benefit of the entire southern business group and directly confronts the northern business alliance. This courage is admirable. Whatever happens, we will do the same." Full cooperation! "The person in charge of the exchange is a thin old man wearing a three-red satin robe. Looking at the heavy gold coins in front of him, his wrinkled face burst into laughter. He hesitated and asked, "I don't know what the final limit is? The daily exchange limit of 500,000 is also a limit for our exchange." It’s a lot of pressure! “Don’t worry, we will take all the money exchanged by the exchange, and we will never let the exchange suffer!” Aurelio, the person in charge of the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group in Luansock, laughed. , glanced at the dense crowd of businessmen below. , said in a cold voice, "It won't be too long. Tomorrow evening is the agreed trading time, so starting at noon tomorrow, we will try our best to acquire the Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance, and I will ask for your great help then!" The Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance, In this year, it has become a recognized circulation certificate. Compared with the heavy gold coins that required a lot of effort to carry a car full of gold coins to do transactions in the past, the light and fast business alliance gold tickets are more favored by the majority of small and medium-sized businessmen. like,

Therefore, small and medium-sized business groups in the southern region more or less have a certain number of golden tickets.

This is the problem. Once the credibility of the Imperial Business Alliance is severely damaged due to this incident, the golden tickets issued based on the business alliance system will undoubtedly depreciate significantly in a short period of time. This avalanche-like For the big business groups who had planned the financial collapse, it would have little impact because of the three times the liquidated damages from Lisbon Trust. They could even wait until the storm passed, and they could easily unify the entire market with abundant funds.

The trading houses, which were secretly sympathized with by the major business groups, naturally cooperated fully. Therefore, in this financial war, the real victims were other small and medium-sized business groups. At this time, the small and medium-sized business groups were completely panicked, like a group of The sheep realized that it had been penned up, and it was already being sharpened outside. It was as if it wanted to break through the pen and run out immediately.

Everyone is thinking, who can throw out the Commercial Alliance gold notes immediately, that is to minimize the loss

Since yesterday, the exchange counters of trade offices in various places have been crowded with people, all of whom are asking to exchange Commercial Alliance gold notes. The most direct result is that the Commercial Alliance gold notes began to depreciate in advance. From 100 to 100 yesterday morning, it was 100 to 80 at noon. When the store closed in the afternoon, the exchange rate of the Commercial Alliance gold notes was 100 to 40. This morning, the exchange rate dropped again, reaching 100 to 15.

Luansoke is located at the bulge at the southern entrance of the Gibraltar Channel. It is almost across the sea from Wuhasin, the southernmost city of the Falcon Empire in the north. It is also the shortest point between the two major regions of the north and south on the Obarro continent, with the inland sea as the dividing line. The Strait of Gibraltar is sandwiched between these two cities, with a width of less than 15 nautical miles.

If the weather is good, the two cities can even see each other, such an excellent geographical location. It has always been the most important trading port for the foreign trade of the Fezer Kingdom, and it is also the area that is given priority this time. From the beginning, this battlefield was jointly launched by the ten major merchant groups. It not only hurt Lisbon, but also targeted the small and medium-sized merchant groups in the country!

"This guest, if you are here to exchange the gold notes of the Commercial Alliance, you can leave!" The salesperson in the hall tried to suppress his inner anger, and Norras rolled his eyes at him. Still sitting in front of the exchange counter, it seems that he is ready to keep consuming. In this situation, many merchants who watched the excitement soon came around.

"Oh, such a big package, I'm afraid it's not 50,000 or 60,000. With such a big loss, it's no wonder that it's like this"

The merchants looked at the bulging package on the counter and pointed and talked. In their eyes, Norras was just as unlucky as them. He thought that exchanging gold notes would save him from worry. Although he knew that he would encounter such a situation, he regretted it, but what's the use of it? When the door opened in the morning, it was 15:10, and it dropped to 100:10 at noon. Even so, all the money had been exchanged. After a while, I am afraid that even 100:10 will not be available. The exchange sign on the counter is like a beast with a bloody mouth, swallowing everyone's hard work without burping. The problem of Lisbon is no longer limited to one area, but involves most of the inland sea coast.

"How do you usually deal with people who cheat like this?"

Aurelio appeared in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the situation below with cold eyes,

"You don't need to worry. It's just that there are too many people now, so it's hard to do anything. When it's closing time, someone will naturally throw such people out." The thin head of the exchange said flatteringly beside him, "This situation has been seen a lot in the past few days. In order to be able to stand in the first position, yesterday there was a person who refused to leave, and his hands and feet were broken and thrown out. I guess he was disabled if not dead!"

"Oh? In this way, does it have no impact on the reputation of the exchange?"

Aurelio raised his eyebrows, and it can be seen that he is in a very good mood today. He continued to ask, his eyes swept across the bulging briefcase, revealing a cold luster. These riches will eventually belong to the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group! As long as we wait until tomorrow evening, everything will be marked with the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group. Since we have entered the exchange, we can't let it go. Although this little money is nothing to the whole situation, but mosquitoes are meat even if they are small! The exchange figures in the past few days have exceeded 3 million gold notes of the Commercial Alliance, while the funds taken out by the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group are less than 500,000. In front of him, the people below are already meat on the huge table of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group. As long as everything goes well, by tomorrow evening, the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group will become the only super merchant group in Fezer and the master of the kingdom's economic lifeline, so he doesn't want any situation that may destroy the result. For example, in the current situation, if these small and medium-sized merchants begin to resist the unfair exchange of gold notes, then some measures need to be taken. "It is not necessarily the people from the exchange who do it! Since someone wants to destroy it, it is understandable that everyone is indignant and does some radical things. Who doesn't want to be the first!" The person in charge of the exchange smiled slyly. He had already hired a group of gangsters to deal with this situation. Anyway, he could say that the merchants were injured. Is there really anyone who will investigate? He has already arranged with the local sheriff. They are all a group of guys who are about to go bankrupt. As long as no one is killed, it's fine! "It's good that it can be handled! Then I'll leave it to you, sir. I'll come again tomorrow at noon!" Aurelio gave up asking. This was the business of the exchange. He shouldn't care too much. He just wanted the result! Those who have already determined their fate should have the awareness to accept their fate! Walking down the stairs, Aurelio left through the back door of the exchange.

The person in charge of the exchange walked all the way to the door. When he turned around, he heard the voice of the second-generation nobleman coming from the hall, "When will this place close?" "There is still half an hour," the salesman said with a cold face. With a gloating expression, he hesitated after hearing this, "What is the exchange rate of the Business Alliance gold tickets now?" Noras stood up from the exchange counter, patted the corners of his clothes, and raised his head to look Take a look at the sky outside. The sky is clear and blue. It’s a nice weather, perfect for killing in all directions! "The latest exchange rate is one hundred to three. If you want to exchange, I can help you, but it will take some time." The salesman's face changed and he became enthusiastic. The member's mouth smiled like a spring breeze, and his eyes revealed a hint of pride, "Boy, as long as the time is up." Someone will take care of it. Do you want to leave? How can this be possible? I have been playing with you for more than an hour and I want to leave. Just break the limbs and throw them out. "Isn't there any discount? My share is huge!" Noras had a sad expression, cheating people to death without losing money, this was the comment of Scarlet Erdo on this bad friend back then, and After being transferred from the Nord Second Army to the Imperial Inspection Department, Noras was even known as the second-largest person in the Inspection Department. The fourth loyal dog of His Excellency, according to Noras, is that his admiration for His Majesty Falcon is like an endless stream of water. His Majesty Falcon is the idol he has worshiped throughout his life. "How much share do you have?" Salesman His eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling happy at the thought that this bastard would soon be bankrupt. But his status is only as a salesman. If it is too big, he must ask for approval of "1.5 million!"

Noras sighed and clapped the briefcase in his hand heavily. There was an uproar in the hall. All the businessmen gathered around. One and a half million, the entire exchange has only one million in these days. Regarding the exchange quota, everyone thought they were unlucky enough, but they didn't expect that there was another unlucky person here. One and a half million, this second generation ancestor is not ordinary rich, but unfortunately, it was all in vain this time. People are like this. When they are unlucky, they feel heartbroken. But when they see someone more unlucky than themselves, they feel much better. "Brother, you..." A businessman breathed out. He shook his head, and the other businessmen also looked at you as if you were extremely unlucky. "Can you change it?" Noras asked angrily, but the salesman was frightened. One and a half million, this is more than He has too much authority, and he can only agree to exchange it for less than 20,000 yuan. "Of course it can be exchanged. This is a trading house, as long as it is normal business, there is no problem. If the amount is too large, we can transfer it from other trading houses to satisfy the customer, but The highest purpose of our trading house"

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice came. It was the person in charge of the exchange who was thin. At this moment, his eyes were full of excitement. According to the agreement, for every one hundred thousand, he could get one thousand from it. The advantage of gold coins is that I just got eight thousand gold coins. I didn’t expect that such a big deal would come immediately, one and a half million, that’s fifteen thousand! "It seems that I have no choice but to believe in you." Lawrence sighed again, like a poor guy who fell from heaven to hell overnight.

"Of course, we are a powerful exchange!" The person in charge of the exchange nodded quickly. He looked at the bulging briefcase as if he was seeing a bag of money given to him.

"Then let's get started. To be honest, my time is very tight!" Noras picked up the briefcase in his hand. Everyone held their breath and saw him slowly taking out a heavy package of things from the bag. Open the bag with the mouth facing down, and wow, the golden luster dazzled everyone. This is... The person in charge of the trading house was stunned, and the people around him were also dumbfounded. Isn't it the gold medal of the Business Alliance? How did it become a gold coin!

"Oh, this is part of the one and a half million, the rest, over there!" Noras shrugged and pointed his finger in the direction of the door. The door of the exchange was pushed open, and a team of all-suited Armed soldiers walked in carrying more than a dozen heavy iron boxes. Carriages kept stopping at the door, and boxes kept being brought in from outside. A pile of boxes took up half of the area in front of the exchange counter. Lars tapped his finger again, and a mercenary opened an iron box. The golden luster was dazzling.

"They are all gold coins!" the boss of the merchants said with bulging eyes.

"What do you mean, guest, what are you going to do!" The person in charge of the exchange panicked.

"Of course I have exchanged it. The exchange limit is three to one hundred. I want all the gold tickets of the Business Alliance here!" Noras calmly sat down again and looked at the bewildered exchange with a half-smile. The person in charge: "Of course, you can also regret it, but as so many people have seen, at the moment when the Gold Tickets of the Business Alliance are depreciating, some people are willing to use gold to save the depreciation of the Gold Tickets, but the exchange blocks the transaction, so you just wait. The whole family will be beaten to death in the street tomorrow!"

"You!" The person in charge of the exchange turned pale. What he said was so heartbreaking. If he really regretted it, his whole family would not necessarily be beaten to death on the street tomorrow, but would be beaten to death by the businessmen tonight. At home!

"Change, why don't you change? Do you really have a conspiracy with those big business groups?"

"Beat him, beat him to death, too evil!" The merchants around were all in a commotion. The evening sunlight shone in from afar, shining on the golden needle sign hanging in the exchange. Similar situations were almost simultaneously staged in the affected inland sea areas. According to subsequent statistics and records of the imperial secret files, at dusk that day, as many as 30 million imperial gold coins were smashed into these areas like crazy, almost at a lightning speed, swallowing up the devalued commercial alliance gold notes with all their strength. The six squadrons of the imperial navy also appeared in the southern coastal area on the same day, so that in historical records, this day was called the golden dusk (to be continued.)
