I Will Be The Crowned King

The latest website: "...After repeated and serious consideration, in view of the deep friendship between the Roland family and the Kingdom of Clovis, it was decided to retract the previous erroneous decision to no longer invest in the Coal Mine Bank and reopen the negotiations..."

"In order to show sincerity, the Roland family is willing to sell a batch of trade goods to the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony at cost prices, including but not limited to 200 boxes of sugar, 600 liters of spirits, 250 pieces of silk..."

"These commodities, including donated arms, do not have any requirements or conditions attached. Once transferred, they will be completely owned by the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony, the garrison headquarters and the New World Company, as a sign of the close friendship between the two parties..."

"The Roland family is willing to accept the conditions offered by the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony, giving up absolute control over the Coal Mine Bank, giving up the right to mint coins, the right to collect taxes and the most favoured customs privileges in exchange for the bank president, director seats and some middle and high-level positions. The terms are subject to the final agreement between the parties…”

"In order to show the sincerity of both parties, the 'Coal Mine Bank' was changed to the 'New World Bank', and at the same time, negotiations with the Free Confederation began to include it in the business scope of the bank..."

"...The Roland family officially invested in the New World Bank, with a principal of 800,000 gold coins, and promised not to withdraw its capital within 20 years. It will guarantee its credibility and promote it in all the Roland family's trade exchanges..."

"The Roland family should have the right to know about the major affairs of the bank; in return, the Roland family is also willing to share all information about the bank's business scope with all the directors of the bank..."

In the splendid Beluga Harbor Council Hall, the impassioned Reinhard took back all the "nonsense words" released by Cedric, and led all the representatives of the Roland family to the Colony and the garrison headquarters. Sincere apologies.

One word: I'm sorry, those bad ideas are all from Cedric Roland. Now that he's dismissed from get out of class, let's show some sincerity.

In this regard, Anson headed, the Beluga Harbor Council, the garrison headquarters and the governor's mission, fully understand the misunderstanding caused by some people's prejudice, and believe that everyone still has a deep foundation for cooperation - especially For the sake of the 800,000 gold coins.

In the final analysis, Beluga Port does need the investment, business reputation, and network of the Roland family; and the Roland family, who specially pulled a cargo and 800,000 gold coins, definitely does not want to return empty-handed, or even be abandoned by the entire New World colony. .

Of course, with the financial resources and trade share of the Roland family, as long as they are willing to spend money, they will not worry about not having a colony willing to kneel and lick, but the cost is too high, and it is not in their interests at all.

Cedric's cold reception for buying the colony is the whole process of Anson's unabashed "showing his muscles" to the Roland family; let them use their own experience to understand how powerful the Stormmaster's control and influence over the Free Confederation is.

If you reject yourself, you are an enemy of the Free Confederation and even the entire New World colonies; if you cooperate with yourself, you can easily conquer the entire New World—except for the five eastern colonies controlled by the North Sea Three Kingdoms.

In fact, even this is the only part left, Anson has sent the president of the Harold Foundation - the real president, not Ian Clemens pretending to be - as a messenger, and the five The colonies discussed joining the "United Front Against the Empire".

The conditions are also very favorable: no troops, no equal tariffs, no garrison, as long as you are willing to accept the Coal Mine Bank - now the New World Bank - plus the New World Company, and publicly announce to join the front.

As long as you nod in agreement, the livestock and precious metal trade that Ice Dragon Fjord and the Free Confederation have negotiated can be opened to these five colonies unconditionally.

Anyway, An Sen didn't care about their minerals and wood. He simply tied more colonies to chariots, so that the emperor of the empire would be more aggressive in counterattacks; by the way, he also expanded his control area, which can be said to do more than one stone at a time. have to.

At present, the pioneering thinking of the colonists in the new world is basically still in the era of "colonization 1.`0", that is, through a few people or large and small pioneer groups, drag their families to the wilderness, and develop virgin land that has not yet been controlled by human beings. main.

This approach has a low success rate, slow effect, and high risk. Even if the project is successful in the end, it will take a long time to recover the cost, let alone make a profit.

The benefits are reflected in the expansion of the blue ocean, it is a pioneering economy, and the cost is not high. Even small groups and even self-employed individuals have a lower success rate than large organizations. It is naturally suitable for entrepreneurs who have no capital and are not afraid of death.

However, when the fertile colonies are basically exhausted, it is difficult to have any growth. Now, a colonist with strong capital like Anson can rely on the accumulation of potential energy, complete the value transformation on the key path, and connect different intervals in depth. Find the most suitable tipping point, and finally achieve result orientation and successfully advance to "colonization 2.0".

In human words, it is to use a more advanced "playing method" to turn the colonies pioneered by other colonists into their own property.

For example, the colony needs to be protected by armed forces, and the agricultural products and raw materials produced need to be transported, so the "shooting army" of the New World Company can provide services; the poor colonists need project start-up funds, and they need to buy things like salt and For shovels and other necessities that they could not easily obtain in the early days of their colonization, a loan with a low interest rate was obviously very useful.

In the end, if the colonization fails, both people and money are lost, and the delay will be dismissed; but if it succeeds, whether it is the initial loan or the later demand for security, New World companies and banks will continue to earn what they have worked hard for. wealth.

Even those riches... like livestock, agricultural products and minerals, to whom would they be sold? Who has the biggest pricing power in the new world, and can spend enough money to buy these things? Who has enough force to ensure that the fruits of their labor are sold safely?

While working hard to repay the loan, the colonists who had to purchase "security" services seem to be working for themselves, relying on their blood and sweat to build their future; in fact, they bring those colonies that have been developed by themselves, and they will all be in the near future. Become a "quality asset" for Newland Corporation and Newland Bank.

In the process, the garrison command increased the scope of the colonies it controlled, the Reinhard bank expanded its market size, everyone was happy, the new world was prosperous, and everyone had a bright future.

Of course, among the laughter and laughter at the negotiation scene, Cedric of the Roland family was a little unhappy, and Baron Aix of the Governor's Mission was also a little disappointed... but it had no effect on the overall situation.

Or maybe everyone almost forgot about them.

………………

"So from today onwards, I am considered your subordinate?"

In the smoking room of the parliament, Reinhard leaned comfortably on the back of his chair, his face still blushing from the impassioned speech he had just made: "The royal family and the Privy Council of Clovis can really accept this result?"

"To accept or not to accept, they will not be able to express their opinions until March next year at the earliest - thanks to the Lord of the Abyss for his blessing." An Sen slightly raised his mouth, his eyes were full of the success of the plan:

"Before that, if you still can't control the bank and let the next wave of 'Governor's Mission' come to find faults that can kick the Roland family out of the bank's gate, then it's no wonder I'm not being honest. "

"It should be like this." Reinhard nodded confidently, raised his glass and gestured to Anson:

"In return, we will also guarantee the three families of Rune, Cecil, and Franz, as well as your interests in this bank; of course, if you are unfortunately defeated in the Empire's counterattack, or are killed by Clovis If you are dismissed and exiled, please forgive the Roland family who may not be able to lend a helping hand in time."

"And I never expected that."

Anson also raised his wine glass with a serious expression: "Just like if there are knights from the Roland family in the army of the empire's counterattack, the storm division will never have any hold... Cheers."

"cheers."

"Ding!"

The ice-cold rum and the blood-red hot grapes made crisp notes, and the two who looked at each other were silent for a moment, and invariably showed a playful smile.

"Colonel Anson Bach, I admire you."

Taking a sip of the wine, Reinhard said solemnly, "If I, like you, were exiled by a family or empire to a new world where the ice and snow were frozen, I would never have been able to control such a large colony so easily, let alone defeat the empire. , turning the six colonies into playthings in their own hands."

"To be honest, do you really have no resentment for the kingdom and royal family that you serve faithfully and faithfully?"

"I can ask you the same question." An Sen said softly, "Have you never considered resisting a family that doesn't trust you so much, and whose inheritance is lower than that of an idiot?"

"……no."

"It's a coincidence, neither did I." Anson put down his glass and wrote lightly: "As a soldier, allegiance to the royal family and country is our foundation; no matter what happens, my loyalty to Clovis is unshakable!"

"It's a touching loyalty, and if Carlos Austeria knew, he wouldn't have let such a loyal officer guard this enclave."

Reinhard complimented, and there was a trace of regret in his eyebrows.

If Anson can lead the Storm Division and the Ice Dragon Fjord to declare independence with the support of the Rune family and join the Free Confederation, then he and the Roland family will be able to further enhance their control over the bank and the colonial economy... By the way, take back the Ek A series of "privileges" split by Baron.

But after all, it was just a test, and Reinhard didn't take it seriously. It was purely a dissatisfaction after a compromise due to reality; being able to get the current power was already a pleasant surprise, and there was really no need to expect more.

After he figured this out, he immediately sorted out his mood and focused his attention on more realistic issues:

"When is the foundation stone laying ceremony for the bank?"

"Just tomorrow." An Sen said solemnly:

"Except for Baron Aix and some of the people who took office directly in the local area, the remaining mission representatives are eager to return to the local area, and it is impossible to stay in Beluga Port for too long until the day when the bank is officially established. ; The groundbreaking ceremony and the like can only be held as soon as possible to save everyone's time."

After all, it will be closed soon. If you don’t set off, you will have to wait until March of the following year; the local royal family and the Privy Council obviously cannot get it so late; and the trip to the New World in less than a month has already provoked a lot of Nostalgia for the civilized world.

Reinhard nodded slightly. In fact, many people in the Roland family's mission are already eager to go back: "Do I need to do anything in advance? After all, I stole the job of Baron Aix, if you don't give some compensation I'm afraid..."

"No, that's the best way."

An Sen shook his head with a solemn expression: "Only in this way can he understand the strength of the Roland family, otherwise once time passes, he may have the idea of ​​​​robbing control of the bank."

Just kidding, if the Roland family and the nails sent by the Clovis royal family get together, what do you want me, the commander-in-chief to do?

"It makes sense. It's fine for me to play the role that I should play seriously." Reinhard showed a somewhat playful smile:

"The negotiation with the local side of Clovis is all about the commander-in-chief."

"Where is the duty, what is there to worry about?"

The two who sympathized with each other tried to test each other in a false way. Reinhard was obviously unwilling to hand over the channels for the Roland family to raise funds, and Anson was not prepared to let them establish contact with Clovis in the colony; The boundaries of each other are not allowed to cross the other half step.

Of course, it's just to clarify the bottom line. Regardless of their positions, the two sides can almost be regarded as comrades in a trench, and their interests can be completely complementary. There is no possibility of parting ways and harming each other.

Well ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ at least for now.

"Speaking of the ceremony, there may be a surprise waiting for you." Reinhard seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a light smile:

"This is also the news we got when we set off, sent from Clovis City - it is said to be related to the Franz family."

The surprise is also related to the Franz family... Anson, who did not change his face, quickly filtered it in his mind, and said calmly, "What is it?"

"It's too early to say, for some reason, I can't confirm the authenticity of the news for the time being." Reinhard's expression suddenly became meaningful, and he even sighed deliberately:

"It's just a little emotional. The wishful thinking of a certain beautiful girl may not have a happy ending in the end - of course, you may have it, if the surprise is true."

"...Okay." Resisting the curiosity in his heart, Ansen said with a smile:

"I'll just wait and see."
