Chapter 129 War Bonds
“I strongly agree with Duke Daliang’s idea about issuing war bonds.”
Daliang's suggestion immediately attracted the support of Marquis Wilson.
Marquis Wilson has a criminal record, and he can continue to be reused for serious crimes like Howard, which shows that his economic ability is indispensable to Shangjiang City. Wilson also learned the lessons caused by his greed and kept a distance from the political struggle after he regained the Shangjiang finances.
It is precisely because he was separated from the struggle of Shangtong, that he could focus all his energy on developing Shangjiang's economic strength, and the results were obvious. At least the ability of Marquis Stanley alone could not make the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce prosperous. Shangjiang City also took the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce's expansion, and used the opening of the commercial road to go on the independent trade of Shangjiang, filling the vault with a full volume.
Shangjiang's current business atmosphere has made the indelible contributions of Marquis Wilson.
Wilson, who is in charge of Shangjiang's money bags, is really tight on his hands. One project after another is asking for money. Although the vault is still abundant now, he has to prepare for it. To tighten his pockets and survive this depression, he still needs to reserve a portion of the funds for investment after the economic recovery.
Wilson is really calculating.
However, if war bonds are issued, objective funds can be quickly raised. You can have money to build whatever you want, and even sufficient funds can be used for commercial expansion.
Therefore, Wilson first supported the issuance of war bonds. He said: "The sudden outbreak of plane wars has caused chaos in the entire main world, collapsed, and the original business system has also suffered a severe impact.
The mainland business association and the maritime business association will be affected by plane wars, and will lose control over the entire main plane trading market.
I think we can take this opportunity to issue war bonds and build our own business association.
The stable Shangjiang is a safe haven for the entire main plane. Our war bond issuance targets cannot only focus on the nobles of the city, civilians and adventurers, but should include all the nobles of other city-states.
They can exchange their funds for our bonds.
In this way, their wealth will not be lost by war. Not only do we have extremely sufficient funds, but we can also closely connect these nobles with us through these bonds, and jointly establish a new business order in the main world dominated by Shangjiang."
After hearing Wilson's words, Daliang couldn't help but admire that the Secretary of the Exchequer is indeed the Secretary of the Exchequer. No wonder Howard could continue to serve as Wilson without his past grudges. As expected, he had two tricks and his words were extraordinary.
The Mainland Business Association and the Maritime Merchants Association are the two major business associations in the main plane of the Hero World. Their main responsibilities are to adjust the prices and quotas of goods and prevent malicious dumping and unfair trade. Any trade that is not carried out through the Merchants Association is a smuggling act.
Moreover, the military strength of the mainland business association and the Maritime Merchants Association also allows their business rules to be implemented.
The expansion of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce has actually touched the interests of the two major business associations. At the same time, Shangjiang City has condoned smuggling and even smuggling by itself, which has attracted strong attention from the two major business associations. However, because of the military power of Shangjiang and Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, the two major business associations have not used force, but chose to put pressure on Shangjiang in the form of diplomacy.
However, King Howard disappeared, and the two major business associations looked for Marquis Wilson. Marquis Wilson refused to let him go without doing anything, but the matter was dragged on.
Now that Joyce has ascended the throne, the two major business associations have come to the door again, demanding that Shangjiang stop the improper expansion of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce and crack down on smuggling. Joyce refused all of them...
The relationship between Shangjiang and the two major business associations suddenly reached a freezing point. If it were other cities, the war had already broken out. However, Shangjiang joined the Five Color Flag Alliance and was still one of the main alliances, so the two major business associations could only impose all-round economic and political sanctions on Shangjiang.
However, before the two major business associations could make any punitive measures against Shangjiang, the plane war broke out.
Now the entire main plane is fighting, and the two major business associations are all in big trouble. Wilson, who has a savage economic vision, will certainly take the opportunity to stab the knife quickly and establish a third business association when the main world trade enters a reshuffle.
Wilson has a very big appetite. Even Joyce, who doesn't know much about the economy, knows what can establish his own business association bring to Shangjiang?
But... this is also a direct breakup with the mainland business association and the Maritime Merchants Association. The trade war will only become more and more intense, and even direct military conflicts will occur.
If you encounter setbacks in the trade war, it will be a huge blow to Shangjiang.
Joyce did not make a decision immediately, but asked Daliang: "Does Duke Daliang have any opinions on the proposal of Marquis Wilson?"
Daliang replied: "I agree with Marquis Wilson.
In fact, our current business behavior in Shangjiang has touched the core interests of the two major business associations. Conflicts are destined to break out and will be concentrated in trade struggles.
Sooner or later, there will be a trade war...
Instead of letting the two major business associations come back from the war and cause trouble for us, we should take the initiative to establish our dominant business order in the chaotic period of the war, weaken the strength of the two major business associations, and gain an advantage in the future trade war.
Even if the money of the nobles who were trapped in war was not given to us, they would sooner or later be plundered by the good camp and the evil camp. The more money the two camps were, the greater the harm it would be to us...
When we issue war bonds, we will return their money to them. I think even if we give less interest, these nobles are willing to put their money in us. The more we have, the stronger we will be. Those nobles who buy all their money into our bonds can only support us in all aspects if they want to keep their money from wasted.
Whether it is trade or military.”
Joyce nodded: "We have already understood what you think. Now I announce...
In the name of the Jiang royal family, war bonds were issued to the entire main plane. The war bond issuance department was established, Marquis Wilson was appointed as minister, and Duke Daliang was appointed as deputy minister was responsible for supervising war bonds."
The financial solution has been resolved, and there is nothing important for Shangjiang now.
Once again, he emphasized that Shangjiang must maintain unity. After stabilizing, Joyce announced the end of the meeting.
After leaving the palace, Daliang told Boss Jin about Shangjiang's upcoming war bonds and asked how many war bonds are appropriate to buy.
