Chapter 164: 164 The party
At the Royal Palace Holy Dazhou Empire
Today, a group of financial influencers and a group of entrepreneurs, businessmen, and parliament members came to celebrate the banquet Zhao Lingxin had once again held.
This banquet is to strengthen the relationship between the two classes. At this time, the empire was full of powerful capitalists. Zhao Lingxin had to build good relationships with these businessmen. The banquet of the aristocracy was indispensable because it was the link between the group's association.
"With his vision, our empire made great financial success," Sun Yuan said, praising Zhao Lingxin and trying to pour liquor to the Emperor.
Sun Wanping brought his father to meet the Emperor, Zhao Lingxin's loan policy brought them great wealth.
Zhao Lingxin guarantees the reliability of the four countries, allowing the private sector to lend. The banking sector is now considered to benefit the most, with interest as high as 18 percent.
Not only that, but the loan was also circulated to purchase materials in its own company, driving sales to go through the roof. Zhao Lingxin opened up a new kind of financial dimension for them. A private group with a large amount of cash on hand lends out frenzy.
Of course, a loan has a risk of debt loss. But these capitalists are not worried. Behind them is the Great Emperor. Zhao Lingxin promised that if the other side wavered in debt, he would raise his army to seize the territory, handing it over to them. The bankers who heard this were even praying for the four countries to deflect their debts. They will have their own possession of a piece of land.
The Sun Family was also a beneficiary this time. They are the major shareholders in Tianhuang Bank. Zhao Lingxin's exploitation policy, for them, was the best.
Capitalists felt like money-loving emperors did it for businessmen. In this way, Zhao Lingxin's royal power base among capitalists is still considered firm and unbroken.
At the banquet, every conversation was aimed at an international economic issue.
"Recently, my sales have surged more than 300 percent." After the crisis is like the sky after the rain. The operating results of each company did not drop at all. The more the government lends foreign loans, the more their sales peak.
"I heard the news that a group of four countries was preparing to set up a bond currency called Fen." For them, the addition of the new currency is exciting.
During this time, Zhao Lingxin heard these conversations. He smiled a little. Send a signal for everyone to be quiet.
The capitalists stared at the young Emperor, preparing to listen to the sermon. Zhao Ling Xin's words were like gold. Every word of the Emperor was filled with a wide field of vision. Everyone wanted to hear what the Emperor had sent to them.
Zhao Lingxin looked at the calming surroundings. He said,
"The new currency is a bit riskier. I hope you guys will understand." Zhao Lingxin reserved his words, but this is enough. Capitalists are not fools. The Emperor's voice was filled with some displeasure. Therefore, they should be careful about the new currency.
Before the end of the party, the capitalists walked up to Zhao Lingxin. Handing a piece of paper to the Emperor. Each capitalist gave Zhao Lingxin a cash check, bribing the Emperor.
Significantly, the wealthy Sun Yuan gave Zhao Lingxin over a million yuan in cash. The Sun Family was never short of money. Three years ago, before he was following Zhao Lingxin, this one million yuan is hardly mentioned even if gathering from the whole family was not enough.
But in just three years, one million yuan was enough for Sun Yuan to take out to bribe Zhao Lingxin. It shows the Sun family's wealth that is almost on par with the finances of some small regions.
Gu Heng, the president of the National Assembly and the Dongzhou line capitalist, was also unable to stand still. He took out a check of one million yuan in cash and gave it to Zhao Lingxin.
Zhao Ling Xin's face was calm. But the inside of his mind is full of a wide smile. In just one party, it unexpectedly raised nearly three million. Zhao Lingxin underestimated the wealth of these capitalists. Just this amount of bribes was already equal to the budget of Dalian.
Zhao Lingxin sent all the money to the Ministry of Finance to fund the construction of the imperial projects. Zhao Lingxin turned to command with Qin Bo, who was not far away.
"From now on, let's have a party like this next month. Invite more capitalists." Zhao Lingxin was pleased with this easy method of making money. He was just sitting and sipping liquor, and everyone gave him money.
Zhao Lingxin plans to have a party like this 12 times a year, draining all the capitalists' money.
Capitalists never thought that their recent actions would create such horrible things that darkened their future. Had to walk in and out of the palace, offering cash checks every month with tears.
Zhao Lingxin returned to his room in an unstable footstep, staggered. His face was flushed with the power of alcohol. When he came back to the room, about to lie down on his bed, he sensed something.
"Who's hiding over there?" Zhao Lingxin was immediately filled with readiness. He took out his pistols, pointed to the dark corners of the room, ready to fire whenever.
"Acceptable reaction," a voice sounded. Then slowly appeared.
The slender body and face wear a blue dress and always walk barefoot. Yue Ningxiao appeared in Zhao Lingxin's bedroom.
"Lady Yue, what did you mean by visiting the gentleman's room during the night time? You don't want to tarnish my reputation." Zhao Lingxin lowered his firearm because this could not harm her.
This was the second time Yue Ningxiao easily invaded him. Yue Ningxiao ignored Zhao Lingxin's words, just stood still, not speaking.
"Lady Yue, you have no sense of humor. I'm just making a little teasing." Zhao Lingxin paused a little before continuing,
"What does the Divine Temple want to do to me?" This time, Zhao Lingxin's voice was filled with seriousness.
"I have a way to help you to train," said Yue Ningxiao.
"The Divine Temple really has a way to help me?" Zhao Lingxin said in a panic. Martial Artist was what he dreamed of the most. But with his crippled pulse, this hope was wholly suppressed. Even though he had the Divine Profound Magic Sect of the Celestial Divine Sect in hand. But this technique was too evil, full of hidden dangers. If he had practiced this subject, it would have been inevitable that the villains' end in a movie theater would.
"Master saw that you were too weak. Your pulse is congenital bad, and your age is too old. It is really helpless. However, the Divine Temple has a secret legend scripture. As long as you can solve the puzzle, it will be able to help you. Of course, it all depends on your fortune," said Yue Ningxiao, then handed over a mysterious square box full of intricate engravings.
The Divine Temple had a covenant with Zhao Lingxin against the dark dimension. The guardian has a beautiful heart. He wanted to promote Zhao Lingxin. Therefore, he brought forbidden items to give to Zhao Lingxin to grow up with the coming changes.
"Is there a way to open this box?" Zhao Lingxin took the mystery box in hand. Which is not much larger than the palm of the hand, and this is a legendary item held by the Divine Temple.
"This depends on your fortune." Yue Ningxiao, who had completed her mission, was no longer interested in Zhao Lingxin, flying into the sky, returning to the sect.
However, at that time, Yue Ningxiao had a strange feeling all the time.
"Why can I feel that someone is staring at me?" Yue Ningxiao checked several more times until she found no abnormality and flew forward in the same direction.
