After eliminating Xianglin's little worries, he asked her to go to rest early and take her sisters out for a walk tomorrow.
Gushan Bushui himself returned to the back room.
"What a worried little guy. He worries about his family at such a young age. Are all girls so precocious? Look at Ryoshige, he looks like a child who hasn't grown up!"
After listening to Gushan Bushui's words, Hongye responded with a smile:
"The degree of cherishing the current life is different! Since Liangshige was born, everything around him has been taken for granted. Xianglin is different. He has experienced difficult times since he was a child, so he values the present very much."
"It's inevitable that life experiences will be different!"
Gushan Bushui naturally knew this, and it was easy to guess what his daughter was thinking.
"Let's not talk about these for now! Tomorrow, in the name of Shaonagon, you go to meet the noble ladies of each family. Just show up and let others handle the scene."
Up to now, Hongye has also served as the palace lady of the Land of Fire, and many of the arrangements made in the early years are still in effect.
Although it is no longer of much use, it is still an identity that is displayed on the surface.
In addition, the pen name "Yugiri" of the great writer "Yugiri", which has been "operated" by Gusugi Bushui for many years, still has many "consultants" helping to manage it.
The "faith-like" spiritual power obtained from this channel is also quite impressive.
This also shows that in the past few years, "Yugiri" has become quite famous, and has gathered a large number of loyal fans, who from the bottom of their hearts have admired and respected the author behind the scenes.
It’s an unexpected surprise!
"If we really get to the age of the Internet, will it be easier to support the sacred tree if we debut as a traffic star and have a lot of crazy fans? 』
It's a pity that the technology tree of the ninja world is crooked. Electronic and information technology is extremely biased, and there is no basis for the survival of Internet celebrities.
Unable to try out the ideas that suddenly popped up in his mind, Gu Shan Bu Shui had no choice but to put these things down.
------------------
Early the next morning, Furugi Fusui, who was entrusted by the daimyo to receive the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his party, chatted with the guests in the side hall.
"Sorry, Sandaime, my grandfather was a little excited when he had a small gathering with his family yesterday. He was a little tired in the morning and is being examined by the medical officer."
"I came unexpectedly. It would be great if Tsunade was here and could help take a look."
"You're too polite! He will come to meet you later. If you have anything urgent, you can let me tell you..."
"It's nothing important. It's just about the task quota for next year. Some things have delayed the negotiation. The Young Master also knows that our village is really in trouble right now and needs a little support."
A little bit?
The money owed by the entire Konoha Village is gone.
The monthly interest is high.
This is just like the feeling of buying a house with a mortgage, equal principal and interest. In the past few years, it seemed that the repayments were so much, but in fact it was all interest, and the principal has basically not dropped.
There was nothing I could do in the past, but now more than three years have passed since the night when the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and I have recovered a little strength, so I am thinking about whether I can reduce the interest or pay back some principal in advance.
To put it simply, in the past, in order to meet the urgent needs, many real estates, virtual assets, pots and pans in Konoha Village were securitized in disguised form and circulated on the market in the form of various bonds and trusts.
Now, Konoha Village finds that while it can repay the principal and interest of each period normally, it still has a slight surplus, so it can only sit on the account and eat dust.
This would be such a loss.
While striving for interests, we must also regain the freedom we once lost. This is the fundamental purpose of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the current Hokage, this is his inevitable duty.
Whether it's the daimyo or the Fusagi family, the entanglement of interests is intertwined. It seems like two unrelated things, but they are actually the same thing.
Gu Shan Bu Shui said as expected:
"Let us
We have many years of alliances, and of course we must support your village's ideas. However, I need a reason to convince a lot of subordinates who rely on this business model to make a living. It is not a problem that can be simply withdrawn. It involves the daily necessities of countless families. "
"Then...what does the Young Master want to do? More places for exchange students, or more land exchanges?"
"Didn't Konoha Village also implement the strategy of "coming out"? However, I haven’t been performing very well recently. Do you want to try other methods? "
The entire Konoha Village is so big, and the number of students enrolled in the ninja school cannot be too large, not to mention the land replacement plan.
The valuable real estate is all held in the hands of Gushanbu Shui, and now he is eager to find an excuse to get rid of it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered a large number of members of his direct lineage and close ninja clans, pooled a large amount of money, and prepared to "buy back" Konoha Village. Fusugi Fusui had already heard about it.
They may not realize the seriousness of the economic invasion, but they will instinctively feel that after being controlled by the Gushan family, their own interests will be damaged and their right to speak will be weakened.
The prices of land in prime locations are getting higher and higher, and they can no longer just take it over casually.
Even if he wants to buy it, Gu Shan Bu Shui will not sell it easily?
It doesn’t matter if the pots and jars on the ground break, it doesn’t matter, the land is there anyway, and it’s impossible for them to run away.
However, the real estate on the land, various commercial buildings, apartments, shops, theaters, etc. is indeed a good business that makes money every day.
As long as it can be won, it will be a hardcore crop that guarantees harvest despite drought and floods.
Repaying the principal in advance is a false shot. The real purpose is to control the valuable business in your own hands.
"Any transaction has a price. If the transaction cannot be completed, it means that the right chips have not been found."
Gushan Bu Shui smiled reservedly,
"We don't have to scrape as much oil and water on this one-third of an acre of Konoha Village. As you know, our Fusagi family's business is too big. I myself don't actually care too much about things there. , it has always been handled by capable district managers..."
"Mr. Katsura Haruki, I have met him several times. He is indeed a great talent of the Fusagi family. I can trust his ability and character. However, there are some things that he... can't make up his mind about."
"I have no objection in principle to paying off part of the principal in advance and redeeming part of the real estate. The question is, what kind of guarantee or mortgage do you plan to provide?"
"Young Master, what do you think is the most precious thing in Konoha Village?"
"It's Konoha ninja!"
This issue does not require too much consideration.
If there were no Konoha ninjas, the core competitiveness of the entire Konoha village would be gone.
When Gusugi Bushui invested in Konoha Village, didn't he take a fancy to Konoha ninjas? In this world where the technology tree is crooked and productivity is insufficient, ninjas are needed to make up for the lack of technology and contribute to the development of the family?
In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen used his reputation as Hokage to hand over the land in the village as mortgage to the Furusugi family, and received a large amount of loans and support.
However, there are always limits to selling land.
Although Konoha Village is not small, compared to the entire Fire Country, it is an insignificant little place. The core plots are sold and mortgaged, and the rest is either owned by the major ninja clans in the village or by individuals. Private property, occasionally "fish slipping through the net", is also a bad place that everyone looks down upon.
Treating those "rags" as treasures and pawn them at the Kosugi family's bank to pay back the money, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't do such a thing even with his old face.
"Young Governor, I think the asset securitization innovation recently carried out by Discipline Management in Konoha Village is very valuable. If, I mean, if the mission fees of Konoha ninjas are used as collateral, can bonds be issued?"
"This...it's possible, but it's hard to make an assessment!"
It is actually more appropriate to use the future earnings of Konoha ninjas as collateral.
As long as Konoha Village is not completely wiped out, the credibility endorsement will always exist.
Here, if you operate it, it is still very profitable.
For the Kosugi family, in addition to earning first-hand handling fees by issuing human resources bonds for Konoha Village, they are essentially buying the income trust of Konoha Village, a mercenary group.
Furugi Fusui showed a very interested expression and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen,
"Your village, what form of mortgage do you plan to use? Mission reward, or the number and share of missions?"
"What do you think, the young governor?"
The ball was kicked back again, and Gushan Bushui replied:
"Let's change the approach and issue a valuable convertible bond."
"Appreciate further details."
"For example, if a five-year bond worth one billion taels is successfully issued, with an annual interest rate of 6%, it can be freely traded on the securities exchange market before maturity. After maturity, it will be paid by the Leaf Village. Regarding this, we The Furusugi family can bear half of the guarantee liability. I myself am willing to believe in the reputation of the Sandaime and the ninjas of your village. Even if money is tight for a while, I will never default on the loan..."
"Thanks for your trust."
"The rest is an agreement that if the conditions are met, the bonds can be converted into the number of employments of Konoha ninjas. For example, the employment price of ninjas has soared, and the original interest rate of 6% is too low. Yes, I bought bonds, but did not enjoy the dividends from the great development of Konoha Village."
The actual operation will definitely not be so straightforward, but more troublesome and more hidden.
As soon as Kosugi Bushui finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up:
"Risks and returns are shared equally, and conditional convertible rights are used to maximize the attractiveness of the bonds."
"right!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui nodded in approval,
"Let me put it bluntly, even if there is no asset replacement or transfer, the yield will not be low. If you switch to bonds and go through all the changes, it will not do much good. Instead, you will lose the right to dispose of the collateral. Why bother? But if It would be different if we had the opportunity to share the dividends of Konoha's ninja development."
Kosugi Bosui's words undoubtedly opened a window in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart and saw a broader view.
After thinking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi tentatively asked:
"Then can I issue bonds based on the number of Konoha ninja missions?"
"Okay, then Konoha Village has to promise that if certain conditions are met, it must be paid at face value. For example, if the hiring price of Konoha ninjas has dropped significantly, then hiring them at the original price will obviously be a huge loss. .”
Convertible bonds and actual bonds are essentially the same thing, they are just capital risk avoidance.
For Gushan Bushui, the greatest significance lies in the liquidity of the securities market.
In order to sell a lot of fixed assets in Konoha Village, Cousin Zhiji was very troubled.
If there is asset securitization, before the "Konoha Collapse Plan" and Pain's attack on the village, sell it at a high price, and when the Konoha Village suffers a heavy setback, buy it at a low price. Over and over again, you don't know how much you can make.
After Konoha Village returns to normal, it will obviously be easier to use these bonds to control the economic lifeline of Konoha Village.
Why did a big country that had an absolute capital advantage in its previous life keep talking about free trade and open capital?
Without opening the door for business and setting up numerous barriers in the capital market, how can the tide of capital come in and loot and escape smoothly?
Buy land, set up a factory, invest in industry?
Do not be silly!
Financial barriers are equivalent to breakwaters. The real economy that has mastered core technologies is a rock that remains firm despite wind and rain. They are the mainstay in defending against financial storms.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen was only thinking about borrowing money to pay off his early high-interest debts, and at the same time recycle part of the village's industry.
However, he probably didn't realize how terrifying the control power that the fusion of capital and finance would have, coupled with the formidable force possessed by the Gushan family.
"I didn't dig the hole, you jumped into it yourself. 』
In principle, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Fusugi Fusui have temporarily reached a tacit understanding. Specific cooperation matters must be handled by professionals below. The young governor, who has many things to do, does not care about these "little things".
After discussing happily for nearly half an hour, the boss Ming walked out with the support of Uncle Qingfu.
"Sandaime! We meet again! Even though I'm not much older than you, but I'm almost exhausted, you're still so strong, it's really enviable."
"You're welcome!"
The two people, who had known each other for decades, were filled with emotion after seeing each other for a long time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even mention the topic that he had discussed with Kosugi Bosui not long ago at this time.
For some things, when it comes to saving face, it actually shows your attitude. The people below will definitely consider it appropriately and provide convenience to the Leaf Village.
Next, the two elderly people talked intermittently for more than an hour. It was getting late and it started to snow lightly outside before the meeting ended.
When sending Sarutobi Hiruzen away, Kosugi Bushui said:
"On the first day of the festival, I hope the Sandaime will come! It has been many years since the Hokage came to Miyagi at this time. How about taking this rare opportunity to catch up with old friends whom we haven't seen for a long time?"
"That's why I'm bothering you!"
Anyway, there are only two days left. Even if I go back now, I won't be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve at home. It's better to stay here for a few days and get a feel for the attitude of the Daimyo and other members of the Furusugi family towards Konoha Village.
