Chapter 373 Financial War
After solving the problems of the Black Death and the War, Eugen's business empire finally began to expand significantly, from Lebre to the entire empire, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day.
Branches with central bank signs were established in various cities. When these branches were established, local lords would personally go to the platform to express their support for the bank.
As a result, the trust of ordinary citizens in those cities in the city naturally increased. Stimulated by high interest rates, they took out the gold coins they hid at home and deposited them into the bank.
Eugen's bank was protected by aristocrats and a royal family supported it later. The various rules and regulations inside were transferred from modern banks, so the ability to absorb funds was naturally very strong.
Every day, countless funds are sent from branches in various places to the headquarters of the Central Bank of Lebir City. When these funds are aggregated, some qualitative changes will occur. The development of Lebir City is like opening a plug-in with unlimited money.
At the first time, Eugen built more than a dozen schools in the city of Lebir, and thoroughly improved the education system. As a lord with modern people's ideological experience, Eugen deeply understood the importance of knowledge and talents. In order to ensure these two points, education can be said to be something that must be done.
Immediately afterwards, various scientific research departments also received huge financial support. The research institute in Leber City began to attract scientific research talents across the country and even the entire European continent, giving the treatment comparable to that of aristocrats. At the same time, it put forward the gimmick of the most advanced technology to attract talents.
Soon, a continuous stream of research talents joined Eugen's banner. They came from all walks of life and were famous scholars in their own cities.
But when they came to Lebor City, they realized what it means to have people outside the sky. Lebor City's academic level has completely surpassed their existing knowledge system. Therefore, when most people came to Lebor City, they needed not to do research, but to learn and learn new knowledge that they had never been exposed to.
Fortunately, these people have rich knowledge levels to prepare for their foundation, and there are no technical barriers in Leibir City. In the same research department, all new knowledge can be used by them.
In this way, their learning progress is naturally quite rapid. It doesn’t take long to invest in their own research department and carry out their own research.
Eugen himself would also put forward some research propositions and hand them over to the scholars in the institute. Of course, what Eugen proposed was something that can be produced in modern times. He just proposed a way of thinking, and then the scholars in the institute turned it into reality.
The scholars of the institute are also very powerful. Soon one complete invention will be born from the institute. Then these achievements will be transferred to several heavy industrial cities around the city of Dolebir. Large factories will be able to drive full power to realize these achievements and directly put them into application.
Steam engine, railway, train, generator, internal combustion engine, telegram, telephone......
Countless technological inventions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Since most of these technological inventions rely on the ideas proposed by Eugen, their basic knowledge is not solid, and even many theories have not been perfected.
This technology building is like a temporary building, with all the basic parts being loopholes, while the highest place can already touch the sky.
But this is not important and will not affect their use. All Eugen wants is the product. As long as the product is produced, it can be put into use.
After the Vienna banquet, Eugen returned to Leber City. Maria wanted to prepare for the succession to the throne, so she did not come back with him.
Margret also left without saying goodbye. Eugen learned from the Duke of Ji'an that Margret had already gone to the sea and said he was going out for a trip, but he didn't know where he was going.
So in the end, Eugen returned to Lebor City alone. Seeing this, he accepted his heart and devoted himself to the development of Lebor City.
However, at this time, his commercial giant ship was provoked.
It turned out that the Duke of Lorraine had also returned to the Wittelsbach family. As the old business leader, the Duke of Lorraine was also quite sensitive to the domestic business atmosphere. When he heard that Eugen's central bank was opened all over the country, he almost fainted in surprise.
He naturally knew what Eugen's move meant. That level of funds was simply a great sword connecting the world. Even if this terrifying weapon was handed over to a madman, he would still wield it randomly, which would have extremely terrible consequences.
Needless to say, Eugen has mastered this great sword now. At this moment, the Duke of Lorraine would remember the events that happened at the Vienna banquet. He finally understood that all this was Eugen's plan. While everyone was focusing their attention on the banquet, they suddenly exerted their strength and spread across the country with lightning speed.
Thinking about this, the Duke of Lorraine couldn't help but feel a sense of apocalypticism. This was a blitzkrieg in the commercial field launched by Eugen. He had already lost without having time to resist.
But the Duke of Lorraine naturally would not sit still and wait for death. After thinking about it, he passed on the order.
Not long after, a butler walked into the hall, stood opposite the Duke of Lorraine, waiting for the order.
"Perry, how much money can our family have to use at present!" Duke Lorraine said in a deep voice. In this short period of time, he had already thought about how to deal with Eugen.
"Dear Duke Lorraine, the total funds in the family are still about 50 million Kielde gold coins, which are stored in chambers of commerce across the country. What are your instructions?" Perry, the housekeeper of the Duke Lorraine, said respectfully.
Hearing this amount, the Duke of Lorraine's eyes lit up. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a sneer: "Haha, Eugen, I see if you can withstand the impact of so much money flow!"
As a commercial giant in the entire empire, Duke Lorraine also found some experience in how to use his assets. He was very confident that few people in this world can surpass him in terms of capital utilization.
"Okay, Perry, you immediately send someone to send a letter to our chambers of commerce all over the country. The specific content is to let them deposit all their free funds into the central bank under Eugen's name. This time, we will completely ruin the reputation of this bank in one blow!"
