The reason why Ouyang Shuo invited Bai Xiaosheng was because he needed the Daily News to help him publicize his plan. For Bai Xiaosheng, being able to interview the mysterious alliance of the League of Mountains and Seas was also a breakthrough.
Both sides got what they needed.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was also preparing to set up a newspaper in his territory. The name of the newspaper was easy to understand. It was called the Shanhai Daily.
Different from the Daily News, the Shanhai Daily was targeted at the natives of the territory. They were unable to access the forum, so they could only set up a paper newspaper.
In this aspect, Bai Xiaosheng was very experienced.
Ouyang Shuo's intention was to use Bai Xiaosheng as a middleman to find a group of newspaper talents.
…
The Horizon Courtyard was personally designed by Sun Xiaoyue. It was built as a holiday village in the real world. It was extremely unique. Right in front of the courtyard was a pure white beach.
The seawater was clear and blue. It was ten times purer than the sea in the real world.
On the beach, there was a row of deck chairs and umbrellas.
The first day of the alliance meeting was not for discussion. The participants accompanied their families to bask in the sun on the beach, enjoying a very unique Spring Festival holiday.
Ouyang Shuo kept his promise and did not look for any of the members to discuss.
…
26th of February, in the main hall of the courtyard.
The meeting place was completely modeled as a meeting room in the real world.
As the alliance leader and host, Ouyang Shuo sat at the head of the table. On his left were Bai Hua, Feng Qiuhuang and the other three lords. On his right were Xie Siyun, Ji Ying Hu and the other three guild leaders.
The other members were not invited.
What was special was that the manager of the Four Seas Bank, Meng Zhida, sat beside Ouyang Shuo.
"Regarding Gaia's limited time exchange of achievement points, what is everyone's opinion?" At the start of the meeting, Ouyang Shuo asked a strange question.
The people on both sides looked at each other.
"What a scam. It's not fair."
Speaking of this, Siege Lion's face was filled with displeasure.
"It's simply tailor-made for Di Chen, Lord Chunshen and the others. There must be something fishy about it." Dragon Seeking Acupuncture was always the advocate of conspiracy theories.
"The pressure is huge!" Bai Hua also had a helpless look.
The strange thing was that it was the lords who spoke.
As for the various guild leaders, they did not say a word because they were also the beneficiaries.
Ouyang Shuo let out a faint smile. The reaction from the crowd was within his expectations. "As the saying goes, a crisis is an opportunity. Has anyone thought of using this opportunity to do something? "
"What can I do? We can only watch helplessly as they surpass us. "
The Siege Lion's resentment was quite big. In reality, this fellow was a * * hole and had a bit of a grudge against the rich.
"Wuyi, what do you think?" Bai Hua asked.
"Shopkeeper Meng, please explain the situation to everyone!" Ouyang Shuo turned around and gestured to Meng Zhida, who was sitting behind him, that it was time to take the stage.
The Bank of the Four Seas had branches in various territories, so how could Bai Hua and the others not be unfamiliar with Meng Zhida, the manager of the Bank of the Four Seas?
Meng Zhida stood up, picked up a stack of documents, and distributed them to the participants.
"What you have in your hands is how the Bank of the Four Seas will deal with the financial crisis caused by the limited time exchange of Achievement Points. The name of the plan is [Financial Nuclear Bomb]. "
Meng Zhida spoke with fervor and assurance, introducing the "Financial Nuclear Bomb" plan in detail.
The core of the plan was to use the Bank of the Four Seas as a platform to absorb large amounts of idle funds from adventure-type players and use them for the construction of the various territories of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas].
Thus, they could instantly turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
When the Siege Lion and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they immediately became spirited.
"How can we guarantee that players will be able to safely deposit their money in the Bank of the Four Seas?" Bai Hua asked.
"Right now, what players are most worried about is the depreciation of the gold coins they exchange. Thus, the generous interest returns of the Bank of the Four Seas are incomparably tempting to adventure-type players. This is also the biggest prerequisite for the implementation of the [Financial Nuclear Bomb] plan, "Meng Zhida said.
There were also banks in the various King's cities.
The problem was that these banks followed the ancient system. Not only did they not pay interest, but they also charged storage fees. Thus, players would rather let their funds rot in their storage bags than deposit them in the system's banks.
"Just this alone is far from enough." Meng Zhida continued, "Any financial institution that wants to absorb deposits must have a solid reputation and a considerable amount of reserves. Shanhai City's unshakable position in the China region is the greatest reputation. The territory's monthly revenue is the best reserve. "
Even if the banks of ordinary territories had high interest rates, they would not be able to make players feel at ease.
This was because the environment of the wilderness was a place where territories fought over each other.
Thus, an ordinary territory might be occupied by another territory one day. If that was the case, wouldn't depositing money in such a bank be a win-win situation?
Shanhai City was completely different.
With Shanhai City's current strength and status, no one believed that it would be occupied.
This was the greatest reputation.
In fact, even the territories of Di Chen and the other major forces did not have such a strong reputation.
Naturally, no one had any objections to this point.
"Shanhai City's monthly revenue is far from the reserves, right?" Feng Qiuhuang questioned.
Feng Qiuhuang, who came from a large family, had some understanding of the banking industry. She pointed to the core of the problem.
In modern banks, the reserve ratio was around 10, and the lowest couldn't be lower than 6. With the Bank of the Four Seas' reputation, it would probably need at least 10 for the players to feel at ease. In other words, for every 100,000 gold coins it absorbed, the Bank of the Four Seas would have to deposit 10,000 gold coins.
Shanhai City's monthly revenue, after deducting the military expenses, was only about 100,000 gold coins. This meant that Shanhai City could only absorb 1,000,000 gold coins every month.
1,000,000 gold coins was not enough to support the Shanhai Alliance's growth.
For the players, 1,000,000 gold coins was far from enough. Most importantly, the territory's finances would be settled every month, and the players' deposits would peak in the first few months.
The most conservative estimate was that the Bank of the Four Seas would have to prepare at least 3,000,000 gold coins in order to gain the players' trust. Evidently, Ouyang Shuo did not have that kind of money.
"That's right." Meng Zhida did not avoid the question. He turned to the right and looked at the head of the guild, who had been silent all this while. He smiled and said, "I believe that the guild leaders can help us solve the problem of reserves. The money in your hands is also devalued, isn't it? "
"What's in it for us if we do this?" Thunder Sword Qi said bluntly.
"Of course." Meng Zhida was still full of confidence. "The best cooperation is a win-win situation. Therefore, the Bank of the Four Seas is willing to take out a portion of its original shares and invite the guilds to invest in the Bank of the Four Seas. "
In reality, Ouyang Shuo had never thought of taking everything for himself from the start.
A conservative estimate of the idle funds in the hands of the players was more than a hundred million gold coins. With the Bank of the Four Seas' current appetite, they could only take a small portion of it.
That was why inviting allies to invest in the Bank of the Four Seas would tie everyone's interests together and make the cake bigger.
Of course, the Bank of the Four Seas' shares had to be firmly in Ouyang Shuo's hands.
"Can you be more specific?"
As expected, Thunder Sword and the others were very interested.
"1% of the Bank of the Four Seas' shares can be exchanged for 200,000 gold coins. Each guild has a limit of 5% shares. Of course, if the number of shareholders increases in the future, the corresponding shares will be further diluted. "
"Hiss ~ ~ ~"
Thunder Sword and the others couldn't help but be shocked by Ouyang Shuo's appetite. Based on this, the Bank of the Four Seas' value would reach a shocking 20,000,000 gold coins.
But after thinking about it, it made sense.
If the [Financial Nuclear Bomb] plan could be successfully implemented, then this value would still be conservative.
"[Snow Rose] is willing to invest 1,000,000 gold coins." Before Thunder Sword could say anything, Xie Siyun had already expressed her position without any hesitation. As expected of Shanhai City's loyal ally.
"[Breeze Pavilion], 1,000,000!" Moon Shining Over the River didn't hesitate either.
"[A Thread], 600,000!" If it wasn't for the fact that they were expanding their perfume business and were in urgent need of funds, Love Thread would have directly invested 1,000,000.
To the Love Thread Knot, Ouyang Shuo was her greatest benefactor.
It was Ouyang Shuo who had single-handedly brought [A Thread] on the path of rebirth.
"[Shadow Alliance], 600,000!"
"[Dream Pavilion], 600,000!"
Shadow Fox and Dream Clouds Swallow Top shouted at the same time. To them, investing in the Bank of the Four Seas was a great opportunity to completely integrate into the Shanhai Alliance. How could they miss it?
More importantly, no matter how they looked at it, it was a good deal.
The guild would use their idle and devalued funds to invest in the best bank in China.
Their future was bright.
When Thunder Sword saw this, she could only smile bitterly. In that moment of shock, she was the last one to express her position. "[Tingyu Pavilion], 1,000,000!"
Meng Zhida smiled.
Just like that, the Bank of the Four Seas took out 24% of its original shares and raised 4.8 million gold coins in one go, filling up the initial reserves.
"Thank you, everyone, for your generosity. Shanhai City will not use a single cent of this money. It will all be converted into reserves for the Bank of the Four Seas. "Ouyang Shuo stood out at the right time to express his position.
When Thunder Sword and the others heard this, they felt even more at ease. They were extremely impressed by Ouyang Shuo's generosity. If Ouyang Shuo had a bit of selfishness and used one or two million gold coins, no one would say anything.
Without trust, there would be no standing.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to give up small profits to achieve great trust. This way, the Alliance would be indestructible.
In fact, through the distribution of shares in the Bank of the Four Seas, Shanhai City and the six great guilds were in the same boat.
And this was Ouyang Shuo's biggest gain from this trip.
