Two Possibilities-Holy Smokes, We Actually Have a Silver Alliance, "MrCrow"!
After the initial congratulatory remarks, Richard, standing in the crowd, began to talk to the guests at the reception about his Yuan Rong Capital.
"Thank you all for accepting the invitation to this reception. I'd like to remind you that many of you still have a question: what is Yuan Rong Capital, and what are Yuan Rong Gold Certificate..."
"Now, I'm going to tell you what these things are and how they can make us rich!"
In Richard's account, Yuan Rong Capital's reach had extended to famous mining areas around the world. For every certain amount of Yuan Rong Gold Certificate purchased by clients through Yuantong Capital, Yuan Rong Capital would send out an exploration team to conduct preliminary exploration. Once Gold Mine was discovered, mining would begin immediately.
Investors provide funds, Yuan Rong Capital contributes manpower; the combination of the two generates profits.
Of course, not every time will have a good result, and this is something to be aware of. It is possible that no Gold Mine are found in the target area of exploration, which may lead to a decrease in the rate of return of a certain batch of gold vouchers after one year.
Richard reassured the group that even if the exploration failed and no Gold Mine was found, there was no need to worry. The exploration team would choose a new target and continue exploring until Gold Mine was discovered.
This also means that these vouchers will eventually be profitable; it's just a matter of time. Furthermore, these vouchers are transferable, and there will be people willing to buy them back at a low price.
In the end, Richard jokingly added that so far, their exploration target had not failed.
The room was filled with a plethora of incredibly realistic photographs, briefings, and news reports. Richard's constant promotion had swayed many people, especially when they learned that Richard's Yuan Rong Capital and the United Development Company had obtained exploration and mining permits for natural resources deep within Nagaril. At that moment, their excitement reached its peak.
"I heard that these licenses are not granted to outsiders. How did you obtain these authorizations?" someone asked a small question. The success of the United Development Company in Nagaril also signifies the birth of a new model.
Within the Gefra Empire, there are also discussions about whether a United Development Company model could be used to develop Li Ya or other regions. After all, apart from the Federal, Gefra is still virtually invincible in this world.
Now that both sides are deepening cooperation in many aspects and fields, there is basically no possibility of confrontation, which provides Gefra with the opportunity to do so.
It is precisely because the Federal's approach in Nagaril has been affirmed that people are paying attention. The United Development Company has multiple mining groups, and that area has almost become their private property. How could they possibly allow others to get their hands on it? Richard was not flustered at all in the face of such questions. He led everyone to a publicity board with photos of him shaking hands with senior executives of the United Development Company, as well as photos of the signing ceremony.
As we all know, photographs from this era cannot be forged, so these photographs must be genuine!
"I have a close working relationship with the senior management of the United Development Company. We have reached several cooperation plans in multiple fields. It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Rong Capital's technology in mineral resource exploration is among the world's best!"
With a radiant face and overflowing confidence, Richard was someone to be reckoned with. Anyone would find it hard to stick to their own ideas when faced with him. They would begin to be persuaded, abandon their continued questioning of certain issues, and join the project.
In just one night, Richard received an investment of over 700,000 francs, and several hundred thousand more were also in the works.
After the party, Richard also spent the night with Gefra, a popular actress.
He was riding high, having expanded the operation in just one month. It had to be said that the Gefra were easy to make money from; while they were wealthy, they were also naive, forgetting the risks once they saw the benefits.
In a short period of time, Richard secured an investment of over six million, of which one and a half million came from the Earl alone.
Judging from the current situation, he is confident in making this business stronger and bigger, and he even has a hidden ambition deep in his heart - he wants to go public!
The idea of breaking free from Lin Qi's control wasn't new; it had been brewing since Lin Qi asked him to Secondhand Goods Auction in York State Capital.
He had thoroughly grasped Lin Qi's methods. To put it bluntly, behind the scenes, Lin Qi actually made profits by excessively exploiting his sales staff.
Salespeople who cannot provide high-quality clients will not make money and may even be eliminated. At the same time, if salespeople want to increase the number of their clients participating in the auction, they must spend money to buy seats from Lin Qi.
A seat may not be worth much, five yuan, which seems cheap. You can get a hundred seats for five hundred yuan, but these five hundred yuan are only for the seats in one auction.
The more seats a business has, the more transactions it generates, and the more likely it is to receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. This forces salespeople to spend more money to buy seats and find higher-quality customers.
Lin Qi will never lose money, and neither will the customers who participate in the auctions. At least they get the goods they want at what they consider a reasonable price. The only ones who actually lose money are the salespeople.
In fact, Lin Qi's approach was similar to that of Bu Peien's financial company. Often, when they recruited business managers and stockbrokers, they were actually looking to attract clients.
When they can't clear out their financial products, they ask their business manager or stockbroker to buy them out themselves.
Lin Qi's approach was more subtle. After Richard realized this, he had the idea of going it alone. He didn't want to work for others and make money for them for the rest of his life.
He did receive a lot of money every month, but even more money went into Lin Qi's pocket. Money flowed into Lin Qi's pocket from a state, a dozen cities and regions, and Lin Qi didn't have to do anything.
He could get this money without doing anything; he could spend that time socializing, eating, drinking, and having fun. That's the kind of life Richard was looking for.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
He needs to find a way to get Yuan Rong Capital listed on Gefra. Once he has enough money, he can completely get rid of Lin Qi and stand on the same level as Lin Qi.
In Gefra, going public is not an easy thing, as it involves issues with the country's governance structure.
The capitalists in Gefra were more or less connected with the aristocratic groups. They were either the financial agents of the aristocratic groups or extensions of the industries of a certain nobleman, which became another unwritten rule.
That is, companies without noble backing have difficulty going public on the Gefra Financial Market. No matter who you ask to do something, you need an Imperial Noble standing behind the company if you want to go public.
This phenomenon also catalyzed the value of nobles in the capital market. They could obtain shares in various companies without doing anything. As long as they had the status of an Imperial Noble, they would never lack money in the country and the areas where the country's influence could reach.
Richard's relationship with the Earl was aligned with his long-term goal: to list Yuan Rong Capital on the stock exchange. He needed a nobleman to back him up, and an Earl was just the right person for the job! While Richard was stirring things up in Gefra, Lin Qi also noticed that Richard was developing very quickly, exceeding the theories he had given Richard. This was good, and he was looking forward to Richard's performance.
By the end of the third month, the negotiations were basically over, and Lin Qi also took the time to reach a cooperation agreement with the Imperial Emperor and his ministers.
Lin Qi's Blackstone Security Company will have the legal authority to conduct military operations, assist the local government of Li Ya in combating Anti-Government Armed Forces, and also help the local government maintain local security when necessary.
Gefra Emperor was very generous and gave Lin Qi a satisfactory price, with an additional fee on top of the normal charges.
When Blackstone Security personnel capture or kill well-known Anti-Government Armed Forces, Gefra offers an additional "bounty" as a reward, ranging from five thousand to one million, which is a considerable sum of money.
Aside from these changes, most people's attention remains focused on Nagaril, where multilateral Peace Talks, initiated by the Nagaril National Congress Party, have officially entered the negotiation phase, and many, including those in the international financial sector, are closely watching the situation.
There is a theory circulating that Nagaril, after Peace Talks, might recognize the legitimacy of the Nagaril United Kingdom and, based on its existing ruling structure, incorporate a multi-party system to form a democratically driven and completely free nation.
This argument is quite popular, after all, the Federal is such a country, and the Progressive Party, and the Conservative Party Socialist Party, which is always relatively inconspicuous, form a competitive mechanism that is beneficial to the development of the country and society.
They believe that Nagaril is very likely to experience a similar situation, which aligns with the needs of the Federal.
Once they establish Multi-Party Electoral System system based on their past achievements, they may recognize Galil's legitimacy. If they do, Galil, Galil is currently no different from a piece of waste paper, may be revived.
This has led some people to frantically buy Nagaril spot at the price of waste paper.
However, another view is that this is unlikely to be achieved. Compared to Multi-Party Electoral System, some international organizations believe that Nagaril is more likely to form a United Council System, with the leaders of each region serving as members of parliament to form a unified parliament.
While maintaining the independence of each region within a relatively unified whole, Galil could also unite as a whole when there were special needs. Under this more independent system of governance, Galil was difficult to reinstate.
