After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 671 Players Change the Empire
"It's okay if you don't know. I was just asking casually."
After carefully looking at Fiona's expression, the Fourth Princess found that her words did not seem false, and the girl really did not know the Duke's movements.
In other words, the Duke had no intention of telling her about his actions.
"However, Fiona, on the way here, I saw many things in your territory that were different from other cities in the empire. Can you tell me how you govern your territory?"
Osvia ended the question with a sweet smile and directed the topic back to her interest.
"Oh, you mean those magic constructs, Osvia. I bought them from my fourth brother Anvis's construction factory. He gave me a discount, so they are very cost-effective!"
Fiona suddenly became interested when this was mentioned.
"And those foreigners are also very interesting. They come up with some very novel terms, such as stocks, futures, and residual value. There are always some interesting things in the stores they open.
There are also some foreigners who want to give me the "stock" they issued, but I usually let my... Lieutenant Boley handle these matters."
"Could you elaborate on the terms for these foreigners you mentioned, Fiona?"
With a twinkle in her eyes, Osvia asked about the specific information about the strangers with great interest. She really had not paid much attention to the details of the communication between these strangers before.
"Well, Adjutant Boli, please give me a detailed introduction."
Fiona turned her head slightly and gestured to Avis. She didn't know much about these things, and when it came to the specific details, she was worried that she might not be thorough enough.
"As you command, my lord."
Nodding slightly, Anvis turned his gaze to the Fourth Princess and others.
"Your Highness, I will try to explain these words as briefly as possible.
Stocks represent the combination of ownership, voting rights and voice of a force.
Assuming that the owner of a power issues 10,000 shares and sells them to the outside world, then buying and holding 100 of them can obtain 1% of the rights and benefits of this power.
If someone holds more than 5,000 shares, he can completely control the direction of development of this force, but others can also gain profits in proportion.
Futures are..."
"I think I understand. It is indeed a very smart approach."
Listening to Avis' introduction, the Fourth Princess couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Her eighth-order thinking speed allowed her to analyze the advantages of these modes almost immediately.
Just issuing stocks is equivalent to winning over a group of allies in advance, allowing a force to quickly obtain a batch of resources in the early stage and grow stronger. And handing some of the stocks to the strong is equivalent to putting a name on the list in advance.
As for futures and the like, they also have their own ingenuity. As for the so-called surplus value, the fourth princess did not pay too much attention to it, but she thought that this word summarized it very well.
In fact, these things of foreigners are similar to things that have appeared in history.
There is one advantage to playing with finance in the Univar world, that is, there is no [Securities Regulatory Commission] and no financial law. No matter what tricks you do, it is not against the law.
But there is also a downside, that is, the safety of financial geniuses is not guaranteed. If the impact of your actions is too great, it is very likely to be predicted by the prophet in advance, and then a big shot will come directly through the Internet to crush you to death.
So, it’s not that no one studies finance, but it’s just that it doesn’t make much sense. If you don’t have the ability to do something, it’s easy to get into trouble, but if you have the ability, you don’t need to go through so much trouble.
Until the appearance of strangers——
The chaotic nature of the strangers makes it difficult for the prophet to predict. The strangers' ability to revive and reincarnate makes them not afraid of the threat of death.
Thinking of this, the fourth princess suddenly realized that if these foreigners were allowed to continue like this, it might really cause some changes to the rules of the game in the empire.
"Sir Boli, are you just going to let these foreigners do what they want, instead of trying to restrain them?"
After thinking about it, Osvia directly pointed out the problem.
“These models all have significant risks, such as stock issuers deceiving buyers through deception, falsifying accounts, or not acknowledging the sale.
Or the futures sellers may pass off other people's materials as their own, forge tickets, and actually have no physical goods, etc. This is likely to cause unrest in the territory's security. "
"They are very friendly to Star Territory and are very supportive of Lord Fiona's rule. Your Highness, we will not treat any of our friends harshly for something that has not yet happened."
Anvis smiled slightly and changed the subject.
He was certainly aware of the possible problems involved, but this was the result of his deliberate indulgence.
Because the social situation in the Yar Continent is different, it is impossible to completely copy the Blue Star system. Therefore, the players in the Star Territory are a large-scale social experiment of Avis to cultivate a financial game model suitable for this world.
Once a mature model is developed, it can be implemented in the other two empires.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He had previously arranged for the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce to send some players to the Holy Messiah Empire, but not to send them there for tourism.
Since Fiona is the lord, the main plot is to develop the territory. When it comes to development, the feudal production method before the empire is backward.
Let’s not say we should move directly towards socialism, but at least move halfway towards it.
Seeing Avis's attitude, the Fourth Princess's blue eyes glanced back and forth between Avis and Fiona. She seemed to have grasped something in her heart and could not help but remain silent.
Now, she no longer had any doubts that the girl in front of her was the predicted Star of the Crystal Bird.
The wisdom hidden under her innocent appearance seemed to be deeper and more terrifying than she had expected! "...By the way, you should have heard, Osvia. I got a lot of special resources from the deep dream world through my own special channels and sold them as special products of the Star Territory.
I have also arranged for His Excellency Boli to handle the specific matters, but the most precious resources will only be available to individuals and forces that are friendly to the Star Territory to purchase a certain share."
Seeing that the two fell into silence after their conversation, Fiona thought about it and took the initiative to change the subject.
Osvia gave her a very friendly feeling and had no ill intentions. Anvis had also said before that it would be best to have a good relationship with her, so the girl decided to take the initiative to give Her Royal Highness the Princess some benefits.
"Do you need any special resources? I can provide you with some at a discounted price."
"Oh~? Since Fiona can specifically propose this, then show me the list of resources!"
The fourth princess also knew that there was no need to continue dwelling on the previous topic, and seeing Fiona took the initiative to speak, she took over.
However, when she saw the list of resources, she couldn't help but fall silent again.
The resource at the top of the list, [Reverse Time Crystal Egg], is exactly what she has been secretly searching for. It is one of the main materials for the secret ritual used to increase the success rate of breaking through the ninth level.
Although she is a princess of the empire, this does not mean that she can mobilize treasury resources at will, and the people of the eldest prince's faction will not sit idly by and watch this happen.
