The twelve believers confidently went to pick out the treasures. Snorri looked at their backs and thought to himself. It was never his style to place hope on others. He would boil the meat in the pot of Southland until it was rotten. Eating clean is the more important task.
"Congratulations to everyone, you have shown the characteristics I need. We will set off in half a month. Those who have family members can take this opportunity to pick them up and accompany me to the Southland."
Snorri met non-stop with the potential investors of the "Two Dwarfs", these middle- and lower-class intellectuals who were unsatisfactory in the old world and were eager to find a new employer for promotion and salary increase.
Snorri had nothing to say to them, and they were assigned to positions where they could compete with the existing human managers for power. As long as the first wave of people get good treatment from Nandi, there is no need to worry about the quality of the next wave of recruitment not improving.
"Father, I have an idea, and I hope to get your support." After finishing his work, Snorri made an appointment with Thorgrim - the Resentment Bearer, and he handed a document under the Dragon Crown.
"Absorbing deposits and issuing loans, there seems to be a sporadic presence in the mountains. Nina mentioned it once before, but I thought the profits were too limited and didn't delve into it further. You are actually interested in this, is it related to the ascension to the gods?"
The Supreme King understood it with a simple scan. Snorri didn't understand those advanced financial knowledge, so the idea he wrote only included the basic functions of the bank in his previous life. In this world, steam tanks have been developed, and it is not surprising that they have some prototypes.
"Yes, if it can be promoted, it will be a great help to the spread of my faith, and it will also increase the influence of other countries. Revitalizing our mountains should be multi-faceted..."
"Explain more, and all your decisions will be respected. By the way, do you need me to abdicate the position of High King to you? It's not that there is no such precedent." Thorgreen interrupted Snorri's analysis, holding his hands He gently took off the dragon crown and pressed it on the document.
"Hiss, it's too early. At least I have to manage the Southland into a monolithic piece before I can free up my hands. Before that, your presence at Eternal Peak is my most important support and final confidence."
Snorri's answer was well thought out. The only difference between the messengers who congratulated him on his promotion to demigod was that half of them were cryptic and the other half were very straightforward. Since the great earthquake, it has been too long since the demigod supreme king has led the mountains.
The enticements were rejected one by one - except for the demigods chosen by the ancestors, the current high king is his father, and the other demigod is his master. His influence in the dwarf nations has been increasing. Crowning the High King will not be of much help in domestic affairs, but will greatly affect his flexibility in diplomacy.
Sailing to Cathay as the King of the Southland or flirting with Pointy Ears will only cause some muttering in the tavern, but if you sit on the throne of power and hold the Book of Great Hatred, these are betrayals of your ancestors. 's decided.
"It's up to you. Once Agrim takes over, you won't even have a theoretical competitor. As a father, I will keep this for you for a few more years."
As long as you have enough capital, it is very easy to open a bank - just set up a counter in the security room at the entrance of the vault. The mountain kingdom is not its main battlefield. The ancient dwarf clan may lack many things, except for the treasures deep underground.
However, Snorri still needs to run through the process in advance and then expand it to human society. Of course, anyone can make a deposit, but issuing a loan requires a credit check or a review of sufficient collateral.
Thorgreen and Snorri teamed up to unveil the headquarters of the Eternal Peak branch of "Karak Gold Bank". They decided on the name without much thought. There is no other word better than "Karak", which means the mountain. The fortress is more representative of the dwarves.
The plaque of the Golden Bank was personally carved by Master Snorri, the vice-president of the Rune Blacksmith Guild. The dwarven runes melted into gold under the blessing of wealth authority can evoke all the imagination of people about the wealth behind the gate.
Thorgreen - The Grudge broke his fingers and wrote the two most important terms of the gold bank in the book of hatred in public - the Kingdom of Mountains will guarantee all the wealth deposited in the bank, and any debts that are not repaid will be Having endured the vengeance of dwarves for generations, escaping to Pointy-Ear's territory is no exception.
"How do you pronounce that word? It seems to mean castle?"
"Jinhang, is this some kind of jewelry store? Why are there even guys carrying hammers here! The bearded friend in the bar praised these warriors as if they were knights!"
"Lord Porrok and his wife from Karak-Desolate Castle will patrol various settlements around the Black Mountains to inspect the business development of the gold bank!"
Snorri's first call after becoming a demigod was responded to by all the tribesmen, and various fortresses and large settlements in important human cities opened semicolons one after another.
There is no doubt that this directly hits the pain point of human society. Previously, their financial activities were limited to currency exchange and private loan sharking. Even the wealthy businessmen of Marienburg are only a drop in the bucket of dwarves in terms of size and cannot afford too large a business.
"The annual interest rate for depositing gold is two percent, and it may go up if the amount is large enough. The interest rate for the loan is only four percent, and Sigma is on top. What's the difference between this and giving it away for free!"
"What Ranold, these friends in the mountains are the real gods of wealth!"
"Why did the dwarves change their gender? In the past, unless the Duke personally begged them, they wouldn't be able to spit out a single coin."
Smart businessmen immediately realized what this meant. Any certificate of deposit issued by Karak Gold Bank could be withdrawn in other branches, which meant that the security of funds was greatly improved.
And due to the heartbreaking bad debt rate, it is normal for private loans to be 90% in and 13% out, and 4% is almost like charity. In order to speed up the market occupation, Snorri made huge profit concessions.
"Who is this?"
Everyone who has done business at the gold bank can’t help but ask this question. There is a relief sculpture of a dwarf on both the indoor and outdoor walls and the issued receipts. His face is blurred and his body movements seem to be climbing up and looking into the distance.
"The elders said this is the ancestral god in charge of wealth and oaths!"
"I don't know, maybe it was the generous King of the Southland who promoted the establishment of the Gold Bank."
"Hmph, if you brat dares to borrow money and not repay it, you will witness His wrath!"
The dwarf employees had been warned by the lords and elders before taking up their posts. Even if no less than ten reasonable explanations had emerged in the tavern, they could never directly admit that this was the co-selection of ancestors who had become demigods.
Snorri didn't want to let the competition heat up right away. Jinxing itself was a good thing to enhance its development vitality, so there was no need to be implicated in conflicts of faith.
