The capital of the Low Countries, Antwerp.
In the House of Lords, which represents the true power center of this country, all 80 members of the House of Lords have been gathered.
It's just that, like every day in the past six months, these well-dressed big men still hardly see a smile on their faces.
The people on the street outside are bustling with hustle and bustle, and it seems that normal economic order has been gradually restored, but only they know that many things have become different.
In the last tulip bubble and the subsequent wave of bankruptcy caused by the "tightening of money supply", a large number of high-quality assets in the entire country: mines, plantations, shipyards, factories, trading companies... were bargained.
Especially under the leadership of Aiwen, the Tulip Alliance, which had been prepared for a long time, gnawed down the biggest piece of fat.
Falettis, who was optimistic about the opportunity, even took the Halliburton Steel Company, the largest in the lowlands, at a price that was almost one-twentieth of the original price.
The subsequent value of these industries will never be less than the value of the wealth that Ivan directly harvested from the lowlands.
Advocating bubbles, strong shorts, limit bargaining... Aiwen's complete set of methods is indeed a good lesson for them.
The only good news is that the big bankers and big capitalists of the "Eyes of Wealth" have industries all over the world, and they are all powerful transnational capitals.
Although there was a great deal of blood during the financial crisis, it is not going to be devastated.
The most important thing is that the "credit", which is the foundation of their existence, has once again withstood the test. On the contrary, their savings business in various countries has gradually become bullish, and half a year's time has allowed them to relax a little.
Whether we can fight another turnaround again depends on today's resolution.
In the eagerness of everyone.
The Speaker of the House of Lords, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Dutch Banking Group, and Saint William Orange walked briskly onto the podium.
Raising his arms high, the speech band excitedly announced the final news for everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, cheers, the House of Commons and the government have unanimously passed the "Central Bank Act" authorizing us to establish a private central bank. We have obtained the lowland... the only currency issuance right!"
call-!
The whole venue sighed deeply, as if a gust of wind blew, and a light smile finally appeared on the faces of all the big figures.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! ....
Immediately, the warm applause drowned everyone present.
Everything is only because of the significance of this resolution, which is too important for them.
Since last winter, a large amount of precious metal-based wealth was harvested in the "tulip bubble".
The scarcity of metal currencies and the inconvenience of replacing physical currencies (cloth, food...) have severely affected the normal operation of the Low Countries.
This has also prompted them to jump out of the traditional thinking that has lasted for thousands of years and start a brand-new attempt, that is, the government prints and issues banknotes as a unified and standard legal tender for the "Lower Republic".
The biggest difference between this paper currency and the gold ticket that has existed and circulated for a long time is that it does not have any kind of gold and silver as collateral, and it is a complete government credit currency.
Because everyone in the society needs to pay taxes to the government, and as long as the government accepts this paper currency as a voucher for tax payment, it has the basic elements for circulation in the market.
Credit-based buying and selling allows merchants to settle mutual credit balances on a monthly or yearly basis, which will greatly reduce the inconvenience of the original transaction.
And when these private banks replaced the government and took control of this gate, the benefits they could get from it were far from the previous losses in the "tulip bubble" that could be compared!
There are no stupid people among the big bankers. They are only limited by the times and perspectives to make the major mistakes they made before.
This "tulip bubble" also provided them with a new idea, which is to proactively trigger a financial crisis and harvest leeks!
All they need to do is to play the role of Aiwen before.
Opening gates and releasing water, raising fish in ponds, tightening money supply... or over-issued currency, inflation, reasonable robbery, trading without capital is not so easy.
As long as we have the right to issue currency, we don't need to care who makes the law!
"Everyone, the first batch of samples have been made.
Now we have not only the government's national debt backing, but the great ‘God of Capital and Wealth’ will also endorse it with divine power! "
William Orange clapped his hands, and his own staff delivered part of the yellow-green banknotes to the hands of every congressman.
The front of the first banknote is printed: a compass with open feet and a square with an upward opening, surrounded by a pure golden eye, which is the emblem and code of their group—"Eye of Wealth".
On the back is the holy emblem of the "God of Capital and Wealth".
It looks like a sharp long sword erected. At one end of the sword's hub is a combination of gold, land, factories, raw materials and other currency and means of production, and at the other end is countless human beings who are working.
The overall meaning is "the order of the new world", and the name is Florin.
"Then Mr. Speaker, Florin can of course pass through the Republic, but the volume of the Low Country Republic is too small after all. How can it be widely recognized internationally?"
"Yes, currencies should be linked to corresponding commodities. Although the Low Countries is already a commodity exporting country second only to the'Tulip Union', its influence is still not enough."
"..."
It is about the great achievements of international bankers, and they cannot be prevented from being careless.
Everyone's vision is not limited to the small place of the Low Country, but the whole world, and does not rule out using their own influence to copy and profit in other countries.
Because the real "Lowland Republic" is a "deep country", in other words, the "Eye of Wealth Big Capital Consortium" is the real master and ruling class of the country.
In other words, no matter how turbulent and depressed the "Lowland Republic" is, it will not affect the strength of the "community."
Even if the land and population of the lowlands no longer exist, the "community" can still find a new host to continue to maintain a new order.
Capitalists have no motherland!
Now they have mastered all the economic lifelines of this country, including the central bank, and are the real richest group.
These include industrial trust giants, banking financial oligarchs, military-industrial oligarchs, investment giants, agricultural giants, business giants, media tycoons, etc., as well as large capitalist families that have been deployed throughout the world for hundreds of years.
The secret of the "Low Country" being able to gain great influence and potential right from the very beginning of its establishment is not its system or national power, but that the true coalition itself is a ruling class in the form of a supranational organization.
To put it more directly, the real national power of the Low Countries is in the form of "multinational corporations", and multinational corporations are the real national departments of the low countries.
For example, among the big bosses in the House of Lords.
Private banks headed by the Dutch bank group belong to the Ministry of Finance; "Caterpillar Industries" is similar to the Bureau of Industry; "Maxson Pharmaceuticals" is similar to the Medical Administration; "Philip Morris International" is similar to the Bureau of Agriculture. ...
Raytheon Military Industry itself is the Ministry of National Defense. Higher education institutions headed by Reading Henry Business School are all private enterprises, which are equivalent to the Ministry of Education. They cultivate and win over talents from all over the world for corporate consortia.
In turn, government agencies are only the spokespersons and executive agencies of the interests of these "de facto departments."
Everything is to maximize the benefits!
"Haha, this is a good question. Here is another proposal. Please Mr. Strauss, the president of the National Democracy Foundation, to explain to everyone."
William Orange ceded the rostrum to another middle-aged man who seemed harmless to humans and animals and was full of artistry.
If Ivan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. This is exactly the "performer" Strauss under the command of the "God of Music and Opera".
He bowed gracefully to this group of rich and powerful figures, and then uttered his next plan with a voice that seemed to be bewitching by nature:
"Our next plan is called "The Flower of Freedom and Democracy"..."
However, the members of the legislators listened brightly.
The plan is not complicated.
Next, with the advantages of multinational organizations, they will make high-profile claims:
Provide loans to 200,000 factories in various countries within five years; cultivate 300,000 factory owners and financial elites; increase the literacy rate of people in all countries; help countries train more than 100,000 outstanding teachers in three years; reduce the number of teachers by half in the next ten years illiteracy.
And foreign support is mainly divided into two directions.
One is the "Golden Palme Confederation" composed of the Nemansters, Atrians, and Anuma people in the southern part of the New World.
Of course, to provide loans to the "Gold Palme Commonwealth", a vast potential stock of land, they will not deliberately transport these banknotes, but will replace them with various equipment and materials in the Low Countries...
It has not only supported the fraternal countries, but also boosted its own economy.
It is equivalent to using the national debts of the "Lowland Republic" and the "Palme Palme Federation" to jointly support the "florin", allowing these "waste papers" to break through the country all at once.
The other direction is the many small countries on the source continent.
These measures all sound like great things for the benefit of the country and the people, and no country will refuse it.
but in the meanwhile.
The "National Foundation for Democracy" will start marching under the banner of democracy and freedom, turning newspapers, poets, singers, politicians, students...all into a leading party, advocating the civilization and prosperity of the Low Countries.
To put it bluntly, these supports are dog food and feed.
Starting from the three major directions of political ideology, economic lifeline, and cultural education, swords and swords are deadly.
The "Golden Palme Federation" that has been secretly controlled is relatively better, and will gradually "peacefully" overstep.
When the people of the various countries of the Origin Continent were happy and thought that they could make a fortune with this emerging commercial country, they did not know that what awaited them would be an endless abyss.
Because when the fortress is truly breached from the inside, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is when the "eye of wealth" pushes the flood of capital to sweep everything, grasping their economic lifeline at the fastest speed, and swallowing them with endless greed. Drop everything!
On the surface, everyone has a sacred vote. They can choose their favorite democratic leader and then determine the fate of the country.
In order to vote, democratic leaders naturally need to work hard to improve the welfare of the people and work for the well-being of every voter.
but.
In fact, "democracy and freedom" has nothing to do with wealth at all. The most fundamental problem is still the contradiction between limited resources and unlimited population.
"Secondary! Let the flowers of democracy and freedom bloom in all countries is our mission!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Oh, freedom, how many sins are doing in your name?
