Chapter 1066: 23 Financial Street (II.)
Lyubov thought about it, but in the end he could only dispel the impulse to stay in Krasbourg for a long time to assist Roland in building the Central Bank of the Far East, and retreated to find a reliable helper for Roland. As the saying goes, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", this candidate does not need to be asked, of course, it is Miss Katya, the "fool" of the chief actuary and financial expert of the North Bay who has been coveted for a long time.
Lyubov directly contacts Roland with the "High Communication Stone", and the two conspire to devise an evil plan to kidnap and sell her best friend from Viktoria. Later, Lyubov brought Katya and told the half-elf girl with a smile: "On the first of next month, I will go to Krasbourg to attend the national bond underwriting meeting held by the new government of the Far East. ”
"Good! That guy Roland didn't ask me for a lot of food and drink when he was in Baigull Harbor, and this is back on his turf, and I have to get it back with interest! Katya rubbed her hands excitedly, "By the way, did you ask Roland when you will let Orome and Antron come back?" ”
"Hmm...... Don't worry, come back with us when the national debt is over. ”
"That's good, I'm really worried that Roland won't let them come back."
"Hehe, no......" Lyubov smiled and hugged Katya, and gently advised: "The climate in Krasbourg is very different from ours, the winter is dry and the summer is humid and hot, remember to take care of yourself." ”
"Thank you for your concern, I'll pay more attention." Miss "Fool" was flattered, and she didn't realize that she had just been put on a ...... by her own eldest lady
The weather in Krasbourg was cold every day, and at the end of October, people woke up to a thick frost on the windows, and a light drizzle from the leaden grey sky that had condensed into a hail as fine grains of rice before it landed.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Roland had already arrived at the headquarters of the central bank at No. 23 Financial Street to start his day's work.
"Your Highness, you came so early."
There was still an hour before the start of work, and Antron was the only one in the president's office on the fifth floor sorting out the papers.
"You're working hard earlier than I am." Roland patted the young man on the shoulder. Antron's official position is assistant to the governor, and he is actually Roland's deputy at the central bank.
"Orome is also here, making coffee and preparing breakfast for you." Antron said with a smile.
Unlike Antron, who was a business school graduate, she struggled to work in finance, but she was very attentive and patient, and Roland appointed her as the head of the office, responsible for organizing his schedule, drafting, transcribing and organizing documents, conveying notices, managing logistics, and acting as a nanny to take care of the interns from Port White, many of whom were clever but mischievous bear children.
"Good morning, Mr. Roland." Ou Luo Mei brought breakfast and coffee, and her smile was still so pure and sweet.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's sit down and eat together." Roland opened the newspaper and quickly scanned through the lines at a glance, while breakfast was settled like a storm.
Antron also wanted to eat well quickly and keep up with Roland's work rhythm, but as soon as he had the intention of gobbling up, Eurome turned her head and stared at him without saying a word, and her gentle eyes implied condemnation, forcing Antron to sit upright and chew slowly.
Olome cleaned up the dishes and placed the stationery and manuscript paper squarely on Roland's desk.
After Roland drank his coffee, the ideas in his mind had already matured, and he wrote down a big headline - the draft of the construction of national financial institutions.
"Antron, you come from the North Bay, where the financial industry is developed, what level do you think the financial industry in Colasburg is compared to Port Baigull?" Roland stopped his pen and asked the assistant beside him in a warm voice.
In the past two years, Antron has experienced countless winds and waves, participated in bloody and brutal naval and air battles, and personally experienced the desperate struggle in the stock exchange, and later assisted Katya in managing the finances of the North Sea Federation and Kolas Island. Hearing Roland's inquiry, after thinking for a few seconds, he replied calmly: "Your Highness, the financial industry in Krasbourg is still in its infancy, mainly because the local industrial and commercial and trade activities are not very active, and the demand for financial services is limited, while the North Bay benefits from convenient sea transportation, trade activities are far more prosperous than Colasburg, and the demand for financial services is also stronger, which is the internal driving force for the development of the financial industry." ”
"That's right, the financial industry can be roughly divided into three sub-categories, banking, insurance and securities, if the banking industry in the Far East is in its infancy, then the insurance industry and the securities industry can only be regarded as just sprouting seedlings." Roland said thoughtfully.
"You have already created a central bank and plan to systematically manage the nation's commercial banks, and will you also start to strengthen the management of the insurance and securities industries?" Antron asked in a low voice.
"What do I care about two shoots?" Roland shook his head and smiled, "Too strict management will only lead to the death of these two industries that have not yet fully developed, it is better to give them the freedom to spread wild, let them grow wild for a while, and then prune and prune the leaves when they are strong enough." ”
"So your next focus is on managing the banking industry?" Antron shrewdly sniffed out a hint of something unusual, and the days of the savage growth of hundreds of private banks in the Far East, large and small, were probably coming to an end.
"The central bank's primary responsibility is to create an independent financial system, issue money in a unified manner, use monetary tools to support the country's economic construction, and leading and supervising the activities of financial institutions is only one aspect of the central bank's work. Roland smiled indifferently and added three subheadings under the heading of building a national financial institution: a central bank, two funds, and three policies.
"One central bank" emphasizes the supremacy of the Central Bank of the Far East in the financial system, and the central bank has the power to supervise all financial institutions in the country, whether public or private. The rules of the game for the financial sector in the Far East are set by the central bank, and if you are not happy, do not play.
Roland also plans to create two foundations.
The first is the state-owned "Koras Kingdom Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund", which is independent of the Ministry of Finance and managed by the Central Bank, referred to as the "Far East Investment Board". As the name suggests, the "sovereign wealth investment fund" is to use the country's fiscal surplus as capital for overseas investment, and its investment purpose is to pursue the maximum rate of return on capital under the premise of ensuring the safety of the principal as much as possible. 2510
