When Bai Hua and the other lords saw the Bank of the Four Seas sweep in close to five million gold coins, it would be a lie to say that they weren't envious. However, even though they looked impressive, they were actually lacking in money.
Even if they were asked to take out two hundred thousand gold coins in one go, it would be difficult.
Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't favor one over the other. Through the Bank of the Four Seas, he would be able to tie the interests of the entire Alliance together. He smiled and said, "Lords, please invest two hundred thousand gold coins in exchange for one percent of the Bank of the Four Seas' shares. If you have any problems with cash flow, you can directly convert the two hundred thousand gold coins into a low-interest loan. How about it? "
"Sure!" Bai Hua said.
In the Alliance, all members were equal. Ouyang Shuo couldn't directly give out shares of the Bank of the Four Seas to the lords, as that would be unfair to the guilds that invested in it.
Next was to discuss how to adjust the structure of the Bank of the Four Seas.
The addition of new shareholders meant that the management of the Bank of the Four Seas had to be changed.
The most important thing was to set up a board of directors above the current management. As the highest decision-making body of the Bank of the Four Seas, they would be in charge of all important decisions.
Ouyang Shuo personally took charge of the board of directors.
The eleven lords and leaders of the guilds that attended the meeting became members of the board of directors. Feng Qiuhuang and Xie Siyun were the representatives of the lords and leaders of the guilds, and they were elected as the vice-chairmen of the board of directors.
Ouyang Shuo didn't copy the management system of the banks in the real world. Under the board of directors, there was a board of directors. Under the board of directors was the management.
The management led by Meng Zhida would be in charge of the daily operations of the Bank of the Four Seas.
Apart from this, Ouyang Shuo also announced that Shanhai City would form an elite force to protect the safety of the various branches of the Bank of the Four Seas.
The name of this force would be the Golden Guards.
The expenses of the Golden Guards would also be borne by Shanhai City.
"To develop the Bank of the Four Seas into the most influential bank in China, or even the entire world, we need to have a big picture and a long-term vision. We can't just limit ourselves within the Alliance. Whether it's lords or leaders of guilds, as long as they are interested and are willing to be friends with the Alliance of Mountains and Seas, they are welcome to join the Bank of the Four Seas. "Ouyang Shuo said.
Since he had decided to make the Bank of the Four Seas strong, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to cause any trouble.
After the Alliance Conference, the Bank of the Four Seas would set up branches in the Nine King Cities to absorb the idle funds of adventure-type players.
As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its territory.
If the Bank of the Four Seas wanted to establish itself in the Imperial City, then it had to obtain the support of the local guilds.
Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
The guild's influence, especially in the Royal City, could no longer be underestimated.
Ouyang Shuo had never looked down on anyone in the world.
Within the alliance, the four royal cities of the capital, Jianye, Luoyang, and Dali were temporarily safe. However, the other five royal cities had no reliable allies.
Thus, Ouyang Shuo had to expand his circle of friends in Shanhai City.
Those who invested in the Bank of the Four Seas next didn't have to be allies of the Mountain and Sea Alliance. As long as they recognized the future of the Bank of the Four Seas, they could become partners.
Ouyang Shuo was eager to rope in allies. Apart from the above considerations, he also had to consider Di Chen and the others. He believed that once the Bank of the Four Seas was open to the public, Di Chen and the others wouldn't just sit back and watch.
At the very least, Lord Chunshen's Huitong money house was a formidable opponent of the Four Seas money house.
In terms of operating ability, Lord Chunshen and the others had plenty of professionals under them. In terms of reserves, the Yan Huang Alliance wasn't inferior at all.
In terms of credibility, they were only slightly inferior to Shanhai City.
If the Bank of the Four Seas couldn't jump out of the fence of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, they would definitely lose this competition.
"Quanzhou's Flowing Light Pavilion. I can give it a try." Bai Hua said.
Before entering Earth, Bai Hua was one of the representatives of the professional gaming circle and had a wide range of friends. The owner of the Flowing Light Pavilion was old and could be considered an old friend of hers.
Bai Hua didn't make any promises, but it was due to her strict personality.
"Great!" Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed.
"Chengdu's Laojun Guan. I can also give it a try." The one who spoke was Xie Siyun.
Like Bai Hua, Xie Siyun was also one of the top figures in the professional gaming circle. In terms of influence, how could she be any weaker than Bai Hua?
"Great!" Ouyang Shuo was extremely excited.
If everything went smoothly, six of the top ten guilds would have joined the Bank of the Four Seas. The biggest weakness of Di Chen and the others was the lack of connections among the guild players.
Before this, they were all complete noobs.
The remaining guilds, Unhindered Sword, Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud, and Imperial Secret Service, were all loyal to the Yan Huang Alliance. Even if they wanted to invest in the Bank of the Four Seas, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't be willing.
In the end, the only one left was the neutral [Bloodlust Mercenary Group].
As the number one guild in the China server, the [Bloodlust Mercenary Group] had the confidence to stay out of it. Whether it was Ouyang Shuo's goodwill or Di Chen's olive branch, Bloody Romance tactfully rejected them.
But this time, Ouyang Shuo didn't plan to let him go.
"I'm also confident that I can convince Bloody Romance to join the Bloodlust Mercenary Group." Ouyang Shuo smiled and announced a shocking piece of news.
"Really?"
Xie Siyun and the others were shocked. Everyone knew that Bloody Romance was famous for his bad temper. Once he decided on something, he would never change his mind.
"I never lie." Ouyang Shuo said.
Seeing this, the others didn't ask any further.
Bai Hua and the others had been in contact with Ouyang Shuo for a long time, and they could faintly feel that Ouyang Shuo was holding some trump card that others didn't know about.
For example, until now, Xie Siyun still couldn't understand how Ouyang Shuo knew about the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group], and how he quietly digested the entire mercenary group.
"Wuyi is shrouded in a layer of fog."
These were the exact words Bai Hua had said at a gathering.
"Other than the guilds, should we consider pulling some lords into the Bank of the Four Seas?" Feng Qiuhuang asked. The first ones that came to her mind were the members of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas – Phoenix Alliance].
One had to admit that Feng Qiuhuang's strategic vision was indeed stronger.
"Of course." Ouyang Shuo's answer was very straightforward.
In reality, once the Bank of the Four Seas started operating, the amount of savings would be extremely shocking, at least in the tens of millions. With just the six territories of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas], it wouldn't be enough.
One had to know that these savings would have to pay interest. If they were to just leave it in the bank's vault, it would be a huge waste, and it would be a burden to Shanhai City.
Therefore, a successful bank could continuously absorb savings, and at the same time, provide loans of the same amount at a higher interest rate.
This way, the bank would be able to truly profit from the difference between the two.
"The territories that were previously on good terms with us, such as Sparkle's Qingyun County and Chen Hang's Graycastle, will be our first targets. Other than that, the sub-guilds that you've set up in your area can also be included in the Bank of the Four Seas' list of lending targets. "Ouyang Shuo explained.
Usually, the territories that needed loans were the civilian players.
In this round of Achievement Points exchange, they were the real victims. One could imagine that once the Bank of the Four Seas extended a helping hand to these territories, it would definitely gain their recognition.
As Ouyang Shuo's plan slowly surfaced, Bai Hua couldn't help but sigh, "Wuyi, you're playing a big game of chess!"
"Not me, it's us," Ouyang Shuo corrected.
"Haha!!!!"
The entire conference room was filled with carefree laughter.
At this moment, everyone was more confident in the future of the Shanhai Alliance.
The haze that Gaia had accumulated over the past two years seemed to have been swept away.
It was foreseeable that once the Bank of the Four Seas started operating and absorbed a huge amount of funds, the territories would no longer have to worry about low-interest loans.
With the support of strong funds, the territories would definitely rise to new heights in Gaia in the next three years.
And this was only one of Ouyang Shuo's goals.
Ouyang Shuo's biggest goal was not this.
Just as Bai Hua had said, Ouyang Shuo used the Bank of the Four Seas as a hub to play a big game of chess. However, the situation of this game of chess far exceeded the understanding of Bai Hua and the others.
As the world's number one feudal lord, Ouyang Shuo had long set his sights on ten years in the future.
To the Alliance, Ouyang Shuo's rise in the game was undoubtedly an anomaly. To Gaia, it was naturally happy to see this happen.
But to the upper echelons of the Federation, not everyone would welcome a dark horse like Ouyang Shuo. Just like Di Chen and the others, the families behind them did not have a good impression of Ouyang Shuo.
After all, Gaia was like a god in the game, but when it came to Hope Planet, the real power was still in the hands of the Federation.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo could not foresee that once his achievements far exceeded the Federation's tolerance, some people in the Federation would play tricks and kick him out.
The current Ouyang Shuo was extremely powerless in this regard.
Therefore, as someone who had been reborn, he had to plan ahead.
The Bank of the Four Seas was undoubtedly an opportunity. In other words, Gaia's limited time exchange of achievement points had given Ouyang Shuo a glimmer of an opportunity.
This was something that Bai Hua and the others would never have thought of.
Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal was to use the Bank of the Four Seas to absorb funds and tie the interests of countless adventurer players and feudal lord players to Shanhai City.
Both would prosper together, and both would suffer together.
If something happened to Shanhai City, more than half of the players in the China server would suffer. And this was something that the Federation could not afford.
Only in this way would the alliance be afraid of Ouyang Shuo, and they wouldn't dare easily play some shameful tricks. As for open competition, Ouyang Shuo was never afraid.
