Holy Roman Empire

Unsurprisingly, the newly released Suez Canal Company shares are not easy to sell.There are a lot of stocks stuck in everyone's hands, and it is too late to clear the warehouse. How can they continue to jump in the pit?

Even if they have great vision, seeing the future potential of the Suez Canal does not mean that they have money in their pockets.

There are few people interested in the Suez Canal's stock, but the stocks issued every day are sold, and the savvy Jurgen soon discovered that someone was sweeping the goods.

But he decided to shut up decisively, and then took out his savings, quietly bought a sum of money, ready to make a big fortune.

It's a pity that he's miscalculated. Franz is not investing this time, but investing.Canal stocks are completely in and out, and there is no non-existent speculation.

There is no public opinion hype, not even the most basic announcement. Everyone only knows that this is an official cooperation project between France and Austria, and then there is no more.

There is no way, the project has not yet started, and both parties are in the fund-raising stage. There is nothing but a design drawing that has already been announced.

Under normal circumstances, such projects are not eligible for listing and financing. How can they be sought after by everyone?

In particular, the investment in the Canal is now much higher than the same period in history, and the risk of the project has greatly increased.The stock market in Paris is also cold. If Franz is not sweeping goods, it is a question whether the stocks can be sold.

In the eyes of many people, this project is a political project. The governments of the two countries jointly promoted the strategic disadvantages, and the profitability is a secondary factor.

This time the stock did not enter the London stock market, and with the support of Austria, the Paris government gave up to win over the London financial sector.

There are many people similar to Jurgen. It may be the time of the economic crisis. The consortium is busy dives. The big households are also sitting on the Diaoyutai and waiting for the crisis to end.With only a few retail investors, even the waves cannot be stirred up in the stock market.

...

Although the economic crisis is still raging in the port of Venice, this port city is still so prosperous, and thousands of people leave from here every day to travel to Austria's overseas territories.

In the bistro, three or five groups of people gathered together, a barrel of beer, three or five to drink, this is the cheapest pastime for everyone.

Most of them are sailors from the south and the north. They are good bachelors who can't save much money. They are the favorite customers of pub owners.

Local people rarely appear in taverns. They can't afford such extravagant consumption. People with family will also leave this group.

Despite the large number of guests, Buck, the owner of the bistro, was not happy, just looking at the wine and dishes on the table.

Obviously everyone's consumption has dropped not only by one grade, the drinks are the cheapest, and the food and drinks are also the cheapest, even on some tables, even the food and drinks are saved.

No way, the economic crisis broke out, and everyone's business volume dropped sharply.Without business, everyone will naturally go to sea less often, and the corresponding income will shrink significantly.

With less income, consumption will naturally be lower.Casinos and prostitutes with hot businesses in the past have become indifferent, not to mention taverns?

At this time a man came in and said, "Boss Buck, business is booming!"

"Mr. Anthony, what kind of wind is blowing you, please come inside! Ham, hurry up and bring good wine and good food."

Buck nodded again and greeted with a waist, his whole face was almost laughing.Obviously, the identity of the person coming is not simple, otherwise Buck will not entertain himself.

After mixing on the dock for a long time, Buck has long practiced a face-changing stunt. He sees people and speaks to people, and hell to speak to ghosts.

Entering the box, Anthony sat down and said straight away: "I'm not here to drink. There is a big deal to take care of you, depending on whether you have the ability to take it."

Buck's heart sank. As a large ship owner active in Venice, Anthony never came to such a small place. The two just nodded. Buck would not think that there is really good business to take care of him.

But as an old river and lake, Buck still asked with a smile: "Mr. Anthony, don't know what a big business?"

Anthony said lightly: "Recruit me a thousand young men who dare to fight and kill, and three hundred sailors, and each one will give you a commission for the Aegis."

Buck's face changed, and he recovered immediately.It stands to reason that a big man like Anthony has no shortage of manpower at all, even if he wants to recruit manpower, he does not need him to be an intermediary.

Doubts are doubts, but there are no justifications for buying and selling.Being an intermediary has always been one of his business. The tavern was originally a place where three teachings and nine are infested. It also serves as a mercenary guild business.

Buck promised: "There is no problem, Mr. Anthony. This matter is wrapped in me, and I will get you together within a month."

Anthony smiled and said: "Don't rush to promise, if there is a month, I don't need to find you. Within three days, get me together."

Buck's face changed, and he thought about the commission of 1,300 people for 1,300 Aegis. This is the money he can't earn in a year under normal circumstances. Now it can be earned in only three days. Obviously it will not be such an easy job.

After thinking about it, Buck said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Anthony, this is really beyond my ability. The time is too short."

Buck still has self-knowledge, and he never promises anything he can't do.Now he is very doubtful whether Anthony is deliberately entertaining him. How can it be possible to have so many people in three days?

Anthony promised: "I can make as many as I can. I will make a big deal this time. I have insufficient staff and I have to ask you for help. Once this is done, your benefits will be inevitable in the future."

It was really a big deal, he was eyeing a kingdom of Benin.To rob a kingdom, the armed forces in his hands are obviously not enough.

This operation naturally found several partners, ready to join forces to divide up this indigenous African kingdom.

This is not their boldness, but there are too many examples in this era to prove that it is really not difficult to conquer an indigenous kingdom.

In order to increase the right to speak in the league, Anthony wants to expand the force.In addition to keeping things secret, such things must be fast and expensive.

There are so many colonial armed forces on the African continent, and they are not the only ones who are staring at the fat meat of the Kingdom of Benin.If they were preempted by others, they would be busy.

Because the time was too short, Anthony had to lower the standard, and even the unappreciated crowds of ordinary people would collect it. No matter how wasteful it was, it would be possible to follow suit.

After hesitating, Buck said in a low voice: "Mr. Anthony, not long ago, a 300-member Swiss mercenary arrived. If you are willing to pay a large price, I can help you."

Anthony said with a smile: "If mercenaries can be recruited, what am I going to do with you?

There are so many customers from south to north in your tavern, there are always some who dare to take risks, just find them."

This is true, the financial robbed by the mercenary regiment will not be honestly handed over to his employer.Fortunately, he made a big operation to make a fortune.

If the spoils are swallowed by people, what gains do they have, do they profit from selling slaves?

Obviously, Anthony is focusing on the centuries of Benin's accumulation, not on being a slave trader.

Buck said panic: "Mr. Anthony, this is out of order. Most of them have employers, and it is taboo to dig people on a large scale."

In this era, the seaside mixed rice was eaten by the lick of blood on the tip of the knife, but he would not swallow his voice.

If only a few sailors are poached, then it's easy to handle. This is a normal flow of people and won't cause a rebound; if you dig people on a large scale, prepare for revenge!

The older the rivers and lakes, the smaller the courage.Buck is an old river and lake, he dare not do such a thing.

Anthony said without changing his face: "I also understand this rule, just because I didn't want to break the rule, so I came to you!

You have been here for so many years, the news should be very informed?

The current economic situation is not good. Many boat owners are afraid that they ca n’t support it anymore. Negotiations with them and the people who hire them do a ticket sale. Is this always okay?

You can only talk about this matter.I'm only responsible for paying the money, and I can't reveal that I am the employer."

Buck relieved, he understood that Anthony did not want to show his head, so let him be the middleman.

Buck is not concerned so much about the specifics of what trade is to be kept confidential.He was just thinking about whether he could complete the deal within three days.
