Doomsday Code

Chapter 174 The Stowe Family’s Promise

When everyone finished reading the contract, those big businessmen sitting in the front row who had been as steady as a rock before were now laughing in anger at the contents.

The so-called cooperation and business blueprint here are, in their view, nothing more than robbery of them.

Moreover, they came to rob them with pieces of waste paper.

This is cost-free robbery.

An old businessman stood up first. He was not afraid of Xiao Dun's power at all. He held the contract and said to Brusto on the stage with an angry smile:

“Are you crazy? Do you think we will sign such a robbery contract? If you are really poor, you don’t need all the goods I brought this time. Just consider them as free donations.

And if you want me to sign this, you'd have to kill me."

"Fat Jin, you are also a veteran in the business world, why are you so impatient? If you don't want to sign, then well, please get out now."

When Bruce finished speaking, Xiao Dun behind him was about to speak to stop him, but Bruce waved his hand and said:

"Lord Xiaodun, I, Bruce, will be in charge of everything here today."

Then he turned to the guards and said:

"Please make way for Fatty Jin and let him out."

These guards looked at Xiao Dun on the stage, and Xiao Dun thought about it and finally waved his hand to indicate that they should do as Bruce said.

Seeing the exit that was vacated, everyone looked at Fat Jin.

As long as Fat Jin can get up and leave, most of the people here will follow him and leave.

However, Fat Jin looked at Bruce on the stage with a gloomy face. He was not stupid. He knew that he had just spoken rudely to Earl Huidun. If he really stood up and left now, then his business would be over in the future.

Besides, how could he not know what other people were thinking? He didn't have the habit of taking the blame for others.

"Humph, Bruce, do you think I'm stupid? I want to sit here and listen to your opinions today."

After figuring it out, Fat Jin sat down again with a whimper.

Seeing Fatty Jin sitting down, Bruce knew that he had taken the first step. He then looked at all the merchants in the venue and said:

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If any of you want to leave now, you can leave immediately."

As soon as he said this, the small businessmen became restless.

Compared with businessmen like Fez, they are just small fry, but according to the contract, they will be deeply tied to this so-called bank in the future.

And if the credibility of these so-called vouchers is not strong, it will be the end of the world for them.

As for their trust in these so-called vouchers, it can be said that their trust dropped sharply after they saw that it could not be exchanged for gold coins within three years.

Although there are supplementary regulations above, as long as the transactions are between the various chambers of commerce under the Huidun Bank system, the delivery of cash and goods for vouchers cannot be refused.

At the same time, you can also use the vouchers to obtain priority purchasing rights for various commodities and raw materials produced by the Huidun Territory.

Although there is such a regulation as a guarantee, for these businessmen, the unknown is the biggest risk. The transaction of vouchers is a new way of trading that they have never seen before.

So soon after Brusto finished speaking, a large number of these conservative small businessmen stood up.

Just as they were pushing and shoving to leave, Bruso spoke again.

"Anyone who steps out of this door will become the most unwelcome guest of the Stowe Chamber of Commerce."

His words stopped many people from leaving.

The Sto Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the kingdom. This largest chamber of commerce not only has the most stores and the highest revenue, but also has the widest network of contacts.

In the past six months, Bristol has made friends with many nobles because of his cloth and wine business, and has also reached a cooperation with a high-ranking member of the Adventurer's Guild.

The chambers of commerce behind the small and big businessmen here all have more or less business ties with the Stowe Chamber of Commerce, while some of them exist entirely under the Stowe Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said that after Bruce said this, he became an unwelcome guest of his Chamber of Commerce. In the future, he would probably have to change his career or leave the Kingdom of Como to develop in other kingdoms.

Those who leave the existing business circle and expand outwards usually do not end up well.

It can be said that Brusto's words are a commercial ban from the Kingdom of Como. This ban may not have a fatal effect on the big chambers of commerce behind those big businessmen, but it will be a real disaster for these small businessmen.

However, after Bruce's words fell, two or three stubborn small businessmen still left resolutely.

Even if they cannot do business in the future, they don't want their life savings to be taken away by others.

When the other merchants saw these people leave, they all felt sad and angry.

Such was the fate of these lowly merchants, who controlled a fortune not their own but that of the self-proclaimed nobles.

As long as these nobles wanted, they could use a very random name to directly rob the wealth they had worked hard for for many years.

And now the bank created by Huidun is of this nature in their view.

Of course, they were right about the nature of banks. Banks are tools used by the ruling class to rob the wealth of the lower classes. However, at the same time, banks are also a powerful tool for maintaining commercial and financial stability.

Huidun used the bank only to pull down these guys who originally represented the interests of the nobility. In fact, there was no big loss for them.

The only change for them was that the gold coins in their hands were turned into vouchers.

After closing the door again, Bryusto smiled and looked at the people in the audience and said:

"I believe that everyone has read the contract and should have a certain understanding of the bank as an institution."

“I know what everyone is most worried about, which is whether the vouchers can be exchanged for an equal amount of gold coins in three years.

However, I, Bruce, can swear here on the future reputation of the Stowe family that the vouchers can definitely be exchanged for an equal amount of gold coins. If not, my Stowe family is willing to bear the losses of all of you."

At this moment, everyone present, including Xiao Dun, looked at Bruce with crazy eyes, because he was betting on the future of his Bruce family.

And Brusi seemed to be afraid that these people would not believe his oath, so he directly called his servants and prepared a letter of commitment for each of them.

The letter of commitment contained the oath he had just sworn, and had his signature and family emblem seal on it.

It can be said that Bristol really put everything he had into this.

The reason why he did this was because he knew the power of the financial capital represented by the bank. Don't think that he was betting his entire fortune today.

He believed that the situation mentioned above would not occur in three years, and by that time, his Sto family would be able to immediately rely on its financial capital to become one of the top business families in the world.

After Brusiu took out the letter of commitment, people like Fes had already made up their minds.

However, the most decisive among them was Tsatos, who was sitting next to him. After seeing the letter of commitment, he immediately signed his name on the bank's commercial contract.

Feis looked at him in surprise, while Sathoth shrugged and said:

"My father-in-law said that it is not wrong to support a prince of a kingdom, especially since this prince has led his subjects through devastating disasters time and time again."
