Wisdom Shield found nothing strange about Bulos's attitude. Besides, he had his own purpose this time.
"Your Highness Bulos, congratulations on your imminent coronation as Crown Prince. This is a small token of my regard."
Wisdom Shield was the first to flatter Bulos, and he truly produced a lavish gift.
A financial cooperation contract worth more than eighty million Gold Coins.
If this contract took effect, then over the next three years, Bulos would bring the Kingdom of Como an enormous financing deal worth more than one-third of the kingdom's annual tax revenue.
In everyone's eyes, this was undoubtedly the same as handing over money directly.
For someone of Bulos's standing, ordinary bribery was already a stale trick. But when the money reached the tens of millions, it became the finest gift, one no treasure could surpass.
Seeing Bulos's astonished expression, Wisdom Shield wore only a faintly ingratiating smile on the surface, but inwardly, he was roaring with laughter.
Did Bulos really think eighty million Gold Coins would be so easy to take?
Previously, the two nations had been too far apart, and many financial methods had been rendered ineffective by the distance.
But once Bulos swallowed this enormous sum, the financial elites Wisdom Shield kept under his command would teach the Kingdom of Como what a real economic war was.
They would let the Como royal family and those nobles see the power of the bourgeoisie.
"This is merely the first preliminary investment. The amount will be increased later according to the specific circumstances each year."
Wisdom Shield added another sentence.
In Chen Cheng's previous life, when foreign finance flooded into a country, the state would often establish corresponding anti-financial laws to prevent foreign capital injections from completely reshaping the social economy.
But this world had no such laws.
