Chapter 1148 - 1148 179 The Dramatic Changes in the Orc Empire

1148: Chapter 179, The Dramatic Changes in the Orc Empire 1148: Chapter 179, The Dramatic Changes in the Orc Empire Massive financing is not something that can be negotiated in just a day or two.

Even after persuading the invited chamber representatives, they still can’t call the shots.

Inviting these people, the main purpose was to have them relay the message to their masters behind the scenes.

No one would turn away from money, and even if they weren’t interested in financing, this new business model could still attract attention.

What’s more, within the enticing picture Hudson painted, banks were not only about making money; they could also control the local economic lifelines.

With such substantial “bait” laid out, if the true masters behind the scenes could still sit still, then they wouldn’t need to be in the game.

Even if it was just to understand this business model, everyone would actively participate.

It’s not acceptable for no one to explore uncharted paths for emerging industries.

The first step taken by the Near East Development Bank was undoubtedly a smart move.

As long as the story is well told, there won’t be a lack of investment.

The trouble is, there might be too many people framed into this deal.

Not only is international capital going to fall into the trap, but also a great likelihood that domestic major nobles will get involved.

Once these guys get familiar with the operation of the banks, it won’t take long before a multitude of banks will spring up across the continent.

Even the major chambers of commerce active on the continent might directly revamp their lending businesses and appear before the world as banks.

After all, traditional lending used their own money; whereas banks lend out other people’s money and can leverage it.

Were it not for the “cash crunch,” making it difficult to attract deposits according to Hudson’s business model, the Near East Development Bank would never be short on money.

Watching the excited representatives leave, Hudson shook his head in private.

Now you may laugh to your heart’s content, but the future will bring you to tears.

Financial reforms are just the beginning; it’s ultimately the social productive forces and production relations that will change.

Under a self-sufficient production system, how much money can you possibly make by simply lending to noble lords?

Apart from the few miserable countries suffering from war, where some minor nobles lack capital, most nobles live comfortably.

Those with capital needs are mostly merchants who require funds to turnover.

With sufficient capital injected, it will inevitably promote the development of industry and commerce.

Market information lags, and those who expand production early will make substantial profits.

As soon as a mass of industrial and commercial products is produced, there will inevitably be an excess of capacity.

In the process of expanding capacity, new technologies will emerge, pushing productivity even further, which is just a matter of time.

By that time, the market will not only need these merchants but also their masters behind them.

Capital can hold people hostage.

The more they invest, the less they can afford to give up.

In order to protect their interests, promoting social change has also become one of everyone’s choices.

As for how things will develop afterward, Hudson isn’t sure.

But proceeding according to the script, the ancient nobles’ rule on the Continent of Aslante would certainly be challenged.

Releasing “capital,” this devil, was a necessity for Hudson.

Developing territories was simply too expensive.

How else to address the funding gap if not for banking?

Currently, he’s only lending to others, mainly to lure investors into the game.

Once the snowball rolls large enough, he will become the bank’s biggest customer himself.

All down to geographic location, choosing the path of Exhausting Soldiers and Wars, staying out of debt is impossible.

The area of the Snow Moon Territory is vast.

To rule over this extensive land under the threat of the Orcs, military expenses are undoubtedly indispensable.

Don’t look at the current high-interest rates; they’re just for show.

Once Hudson himself needs a loan, it will be a different scenario altogether.

…

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

After a round of killing cries, the ground was left strewn with remains.

Only the setting sun falling told of the war’s cruelty.

The races, constantly conspiring, had finally provoked a counterattack from the Four Royal Families.

The Elephantman Tribe, which had been the most jubilant, became the “chicken” used to warn the monkeys.

But, having dared to provoke the Four Royal Families, the clans were not unprepared.

The “chicken” wasn’t dead yet, and the monkeys started striking back first.

Once the Four Royal Families made a move, all clans launched their counterattacks.

From the moment the rebellion started, there was no turning back.

This devastated Lionman Clan Imperial tribe before our eyes is but one of the casualties in the clash of the two camps.

Many more unlucky ones remained on the great plains.

As rulers, the Four Royal Families initially held considerable advantages on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, they weren’t able to kill the “chicken” in time, making the situation somewhat out of control.

The Alliance of the Seven Clans, though not as powerful as the Four Royal Families combined, still possessed around sixty to seventy percent of their strength.

With two camps emerging, the Orc Empire showed signs of disintegration in the blink of an eye.

“We can’t continue like this.

If we can’t quell this rebellion swiftly, the Empire is in danger!”

The Hawkman Emperor unceremoniously labeled the Alliance of Seven Clans as rebels.

However, this had no significance.

Those who dared to challenge the Four Royal Families, how could they fear being branded “rebels”?

“They dared to take the initiative to strike; the Alliance of Seven Clans is clearly determined to oppose us.

Such rebellious acts cannot be tolerated!

It’s just that the Seven Clans are scattered across various regions and possess no small strength.

It’s difficult for us to take them down in a short time.

Dragging on for too long, we might even inadvertently lead the wolf into the house,” said the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor with a frown.
