Chapter 1394 Section 28. Paying back the money

"When will the ninth film be shot?"

"The Truman Show" received rave reviews. Annan, who was about to tell Olmedo the good news, looked up at the sign again, wondering if he had gone to the wrong place.

"I just..." Annan pointed behind him, as if it was a theater.

"You have rested for five days. If it were a civilian, they would have starved to death."

"Even if you say that, I have to take a break. It's tiring to keep copying...writing, right?"

Annan relaxed and asked Olmedo, who was in a good mood: "More than 7.5 million gold nars?"

Olmedo took out a piece of parchment from four piles of official documents and put it on the top: "It's far more than that. Even after the embezzlement, the remaining money is enough to keep the savings bank running."

Annan tiptoed over and picked up the parchment, as if he was afraid of disturbing the beast lurking on Olmedo's desk.

203 commercial streets, 203 savings banks, the total deposits in the first month were 9,304,313 gold nars, accurate to the single digit.

This was still the first month, and people didn't quite trust the savings banks.

More and more people will deposit money in the future, but the opponents have almost reacted.

The letter sent by Catalina from Huadu clearly stated: Although the Southern Alliance was forced by the Empire to not use the usual dirty tricks, it must openly imitate the savings banks to set up their own savings banks.

The savings banks opened by the lords have natural advantages in the local area.

Annan is not in a hurry, and Olmedo is not in a hurry either, because they also have natural advantages - interest and confidence.

You can copy the savings banks in full, no problem, can the nobles' business be called stealing? So, how much interest are you going to give to depositors?

Annual interest rate of 1%? You know, Liberty City is 5%.

Follow Liberty City to issue 5%? Let’s not talk about whether the nobles are willing to share their money with the poor. Liberty City can earn 110 gold coins from 100 gold coins with the depositors’ money. Can you earn it?

Confidence is a better explanation: Why do you make people trust you and deposit all their wealth with you?

Because you are the lord?

Maybe they are unwilling to deposit their money there because they know the ugliness of the local nobles.

Annan launched "The Truman Show" at this time, which is equivalent to strengthening everyone's confidence-people always have unrealistic fantasies about distant territories.

And it is not unrealistic.

The magic image at best beautifies Liberty City a little, but it is definitely not to shape Martin into a wise man.

Annan thinks that compared with those lords in the south, he is definitely handsome.

However, this trick is only useful in the land of the south where various forces are mixed together. If it is an empire or a stable kingdom, people will definitely prefer the official savings bank.

For example, after the opening of the Imperial Savings Bank, the business there will definitely be a lot of impact.

"No... 203? Shouldn't it be 204?"

Annan discovered a blind spot: the first savings bank was opened in Liberty City, and there should be 203 more outside.

"The commercial street of the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes has been temporarily closed due to the intensified unrest."

The Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes...Annan remembered that this was the hometown of Captain Ryan, and it was also the location of the Lady of the Lake and the Knights Templar.

Who would have thought that in the turbulent years, the first to lose order was the headquarters of "order".

"Maybe it shouldn't be closed." Annan said softly.

"The regime there is unstable, bandits are rampant, and it takes a lot to maintain the commercial street... I understand what you mean."

Olmedo guessed that Annan wanted to lend a helping hand to the locals.

Maintaining the commercial street is equivalent to creating a stable and safe area.

Doing this is bound to be more than it costs, but the advantage is that it can gain a lot of reputation in the local area, and it is better than Annan sneaking out one day in the future.

"I will discuss the reopening of the commercial street later."

"Take me with you then."

Annan, who holds the title of Holy Grail Knight Squire, said: "Even if we can't resolve the dispute, at least we have to do what we can."

This is one of the things Olmedo likes about Annan - never shirking his responsibilities.

It's just that sometimes he always stretches his hands too far and seems too kind.

Before the discussion, Annan summoned Wilhelm Merchant.

"You are on time, but there are still six hours before the full month, so I can wait a little longer."

"I have enough."

"You can also sell some things, such as the fragments of the temple - what did you say?"

"The 7.5 million gold nars owed to you are piled up in the vault. I am a little worried about too much, so take it away quickly."

Even Wilhelm Merchant couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"

"It seems that you have been out of touch with the news recently."

"Are you talking about the identity of the Son of God? That's possible..."

"No, it's a savings bank."

Annan didn't hide it, after all, he would know it after a little inquiry after returning.

After a brief introduction, Wilhelm the Merchant immediately understood the logic of the bank.

Even he had to admire Annan's ability to amass wealth.

Who would have thought that the Reeves family would pick up such an amazing guy?

Annan led Wilhelm the Merchant to the vault. How much would 7.5 million gold nars piled together?

Annan might be able to imagine it, but when he actually saw the millions of gold nars piled together that could make Elimoyas have fun and roll around in it, it was another feeling.

"It's all here, count it?"

"Okay."

Wilhelm Merchant stepped forward, and under Annan's gaze, his eyes suddenly showed a dragon-like crystal pupil.

Annan was surprised. Wilhelm Merchant was a dragon? There was a sense of rationality in the weirdness...

Wilhelm Merchant, who activated his dragon talent, checked the piled gold nars, and his pupils faded: "Seven and a half million gold nars, not a cent less."

"Are you a gold dragon or a silver dragon?" Annan asked the merchant curiously.

"I'm neither."

"If it's not a metal dragon, it can't be a five-color dragon..."

Annan thought it was unlikely, after all, the five-color dragons were all evil, and the blue dragon was considered a great good dragon among them.

Wilhelm Merchant did not want to reveal his purpose, but only said that Annan's timely repayment of the debt this time plus the previous transaction amount had exceeded 10 million gold nars, and he was promoted to a copper customer.

"You don't have the division of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold..." Annan couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Only when you spend 10 million gold nars can you become a bronze customer?"

"Those who do business with us are big shots. It's not worth trading with us for thousands or tens of thousands of gold nars."

Annan didn't comment. In fact, if it weren't for the Empire's help, he wouldn't be able to contact them.

"Then are there any discounts and gifts for upgrading to a bronze customer?"

"You can buy more precious things from us."

Merchant Wilhelm is as stingy as himself, but it's better than nothing.
