"You seem very concerned about being able to issue loans?"
"Of course." Roger nodded. "Merchants pursue profit. If they are willing to bear loan interest, they will naturally find ways to earn it back—many times over. Otherwise, wouldn't all that effort be for nothing? Under such circumstances, they are the group most likely to change."
"Whether they are small and medium-sized nobles or merchants, what is their best option right now if they want to make more money? Isn't it our Magitech Science?"
For entrepreneurs, loans were startup capital. With that money, they could recruit talent, purchase equipment, prepare facilities, and produce and sell goods.
For merchants who were already established, they could expand their scale, transform their workshops, replace manual labor with machinery... There was much more they could do.
There was no need for everyone who took out a loan to do this. As long as half—or even one-third—did so, his goal would already be achieved: flooding the market with capital.
Unfortunately, Great Dragon Bank's credibility was not yet sufficient to support the launch of Credit Currency. Otherwise, this move would be even more effective.
"Actually, I have an even better idea that could accelerate Magitech Industrialization. This bank is merely a prerequisite. I'll begin implementing it after some time."
Roger quickly explained the other plan in his mind, leaving the Magic Goddess dumbfounded. "But before that, our Magic Net should also introduce a new function."
As Magic Net users surged in number, its existing functions might not be enough to tap into the potential of every user. Roger also had a comprehensive plan for this ordinary-user demographic.
The mortal world.
