Kumogakure and the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder were initially unwilling to accept the debt issuance conditions proposed by Uchiha Tokko.
First send 10 billion banknotes to the Minagawa Bond Exchange of the Uchiha clan, and then issue bonds to raise funds from other countries. If they fail to discount in time, they will have to bear interest payments that increase by 10% per year, plus At that time, when the bonds are redeemed, a gold judgment worth 10 billion will need to be spent. Once it comes and goes, it is equivalent to more than 20 billion of the funds taken up by the generals of the Kingdom of Thunder. Calculated in detail, Yunyin and the Kingdom of Thunder I really lost too much.
Although the issuance of bonds can indeed alleviate the immediate needs of the Kingdom of Thunder in a short period of time, the price that will be paid afterwards is really not something that the Kingdom of Thunder can accept.
Another point is that the name of the so-called "bailout bond" is really unpleasant. Both the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Third Raikage felt that it had lost their dignity, so they also had some resistance.
Therefore, after discussions between the Raikage and the Daimyo's Taizo Prime Minister, they decided to seek only 5 billion of the 20 billion war reparations to be paid in Thunder Country banknotes. The other 5 billion that were not recovered would be exchanged for other countries' currencies through black market means and paid to Uchi. Podkwang paid the reparations.
However, when the Kumogakure envoy came to the shogunate station again for consultations, Uchiha Tokko threw out a new bait this time.
"If the Kingdom of Thunder is willing to issue bailout bonds on the Nanga River Stock Exchange, then Kumogakure will also receive special permission to issue bonds on the exchange."
There was a devilish temptation in Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, which tugged at the heartstrings of Kumogakure's special envoy.
"As far as I know, the bonds Yunyin issued before are about to expire, right? If they are not paid back in time, it will also be a major blow to Yunyin's credibility~"
"Lord Tokumitsu...you know, this matter is definitely beyond my control."
Kumogakure's special envoy smiled bitterly and replied: "The village's policies are all decided by Raikage-sama. As a messenger, I really have no say in this matter."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to mention this."
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled brightly, "After all, seeing the Kingdom of Thunder and Kumogakure facing such a dilemma, I felt very uncomfortable. I always wanted to help Kumogakure. It would be a good thing if I could solve some difficult problems."
"Then...if this village issues bonds at the Nanga River Bond Exchange, how should it be done?"
After hesitating for a while, Messenger Yunyin still mustered up the courage to ask.
"It's easy!"
Uchiha Tokko immediately took out a copy of the "Minamigagawa Stock Exchange Issuance Guide" with the ink still wet and handed it to the Kumogakure envoy.
"You only need to clarify the size of the bond issuance, the proposed annual interest rate, the underlying collateral, and the debt period. We will take care of the rest."
The smile on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face became even brighter, "Of course, whether the bonds can be sold depends on whether the subject matter and annual interest rate of your village are reasonable. After all, the most important thing about bonds is to make the funders feel that they are profitable. Picture, they will spend money to come in."
The reason why he took the initiative to help Yunyin issue bonds was because Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to strangle Yunyin's external capital channels by underwriting and issuing bonds on his behalf.
After controlling external funding channels, Uchiha Tokumitsu can also artificially create several overdue acceptance events to take part of the tax management power of the Kingdom of Thunder. At that time, he can create a special zone based on tax privileges to control the Kingdom of Thunder. Perform penetration.
If he successfully controls Kumogakure's external funding channels and part of the tax power of the Country of Thunder, Uchiha Tokko can not only use this to strangle the local industries of the Country of Thunder and dump goods domestically, he can even make Kumogakure forbear. A piece of bread in the village sells for as much as 500,000 taels!
And now is also an excellent opportunity to enter.
After Yunyin's repeated defeats, the bonds that were originally issued will inevitably be paid by investment buyers when they mature.
Because once the content of the armistice treaty spreads to the outside world, everyone knows that Kumogakure and the Kingdom of Thunder will face financial difficulties after paying high compensation. By then, borrowing new debts to repay old debts will become a problem. Difficult matter.
Naturally, the Nanhechuan Stock Exchange is not a charitable institution. All bond issuances require management fees and stamp duties.
Furthermore, even if the bonds issued by Yunyin on the Nanga River Stock Exchange cannot be sold, it only means that Yunyin's setting of return on investment is not adequate and unreasonable, and it has failed to impress those multinational wealthy businessmen. Bonds for asset allocation.
In this way, the Kumogakure envoy who received Uchiha Tokumitsu's face-to-face teachings finally convinced Kumokakure's senior officials and the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder. After getting Uchiha Tokumitsu's permission to change the method of payment of compensation, he paid a sum to the Tokumitsu shogunate. A gold judgment of 1.2 billion taels was issued, and the unpaid 8 billion taels were used as collaterals with banknotes and the special tax rights of the Kingdom of Thunder. A bailout bond with a face value of 8.0 billion taels was issued on the Nanga River Stock Exchange. .
In addition, Yunyin also plans to issue Yunyin Infrastructure Special Public Bonds with a total debt amount of 5 billion taels again on the Nanga River Stock Exchange through the guarantee of the Daimyo of Thunder Country - to put it bluntly, it is to borrow new and replace the old.
This is also the first time that the stock exchange actually controlled by the Uchiha clan has underwritten the bonds of other shinobi villages.
As the news of the pre-listing announcement of new bonds on the stock exchange spread, Konoha and even the ninja world knew that Kumogakure, who had been beaten to a bloody head by Uchiha Tokumitsu not long ago, was actually using the Uchiha clan's power as if nothing had happened. Bond exchange issues bonds to raise funds!
The Hokage family was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Because there are no regulations and responsibilities applicable to financial and securities supervision in Konoha!
Therefore, even if they are full of complaints, the ninjas of the Hokage family can only sit back and watch the Uchiha family eat with their mouths full of oil, but they can only wait for Uchiha Tokumitsu to show mercy and pay more compensation to their family.
…
After Kumogakure's compensation arrived, the two bonds issued were immediately listed. Kumogakure's original agreement in the armistice treaty was fulfilled to the letter. Then, it was time for the Tokumitsu Shogunate's expeditionary force to leave.
Tokumitsu Uchiha also planned to let him fill the new hole prepared for Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
"Tokumitsu-kun, the village is very concerned about war reparations..."
After sensing the village's attention to Kumogakure's war reparations, Hatake Sakumo ran to Uchiha Tokumitsu and said, "You understand, after all, this amount is too large..."
"We were almost the ones fighting the Kumogakure war. What's the matter with the village?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered at this, "The so-called village is just an excuse. It's just an excuse for asking for money thought up by those infighting experts in the Hokage Building!"
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu had long planned to distribute part of the compensation to the ninjas participating in the war, this did not mean that he would give the money to the Hokage family for distribution.
The human heart is complex yet simple.
Receiving money from different people will naturally produce different centripetal forces.
"The pension for other ninjas who died in battle..."
Hatake Sakumo felt a little troubled.
"There is no problem in distributing money, the question is who will distribute it."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "If combat subsidies and wartime subsidies are issued to all participating ninjas in the name of the Military Command, I have no objection at all."
"Then this is jumping from the Hokage Building..."
Hatake Sakumo sighed: "This will lead to a complete falling out with Hokage-sama..."
"It's not that bad. I will give them a very reasonable compensation."
Uchiha Tokko gently stroked his chin and smiled.
"compensate?"
Hatake Sakumo immediately felt something was wrong.
With Uchiha Tokumitsu's character, it wouldn't be complete if he didn't trap the Hokage and his entire family. He must have some other plan to compensate him!
"The growth of Kirigakure's combat power makes me very worried. If this continues, Kirigakure may threaten the special status of the southern islands of the Land of Water after the war."
Uchiha Tokumitsu did not answer directly, but first gave himself a foreshadowing: "So, the exchange issued bonds on behalf of Kumogakure to prevent it from being penetrated by Kirigakure so quickly."
"Kirigakure's victory was truly unexpected..."
Hatake Sakumo thought for a moment and then nodded, "The third Mizukage seems to have changed as a person..."
"So I plan to withdraw the garrison in the southern region of the Kingdom of Thunder to the southern islands for defense. As for the territory..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu paused and then said slowly: "I plan to hand it over to the village for custody."
"……Can you say that again?"
Hatake Sakumo frowned and picked his ears.
He felt that he must have heard wrongly.
Otherwise, how could Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had such a strong desire to control the land, take the initiative to hand over the occupied territory!
"After the shogunate ninja forces withdraw, I plan to officially hand over the territory in the southern region of Thunder Country to the village."
Uchiha Tokumitsu repeated sternly: "Moreover, the Sarutobi shogunate suffered heavy casualties in the Land of Thunder. He can also be appointed as the guard of the occupied area in the future. This can be regarded as avenging the past shame."
"this……"
Hatake Sakumo was stunned.
It is true that the southern region of the Land of Thunder is a hot potato.
Because this is the consensus of Konoha ninjas.
The southern region of the Kingdom of Thunder was the most fruitful result of this war. Its vast territory and rich minerals were enough to support the rise and development of a wealthy clan.
This is also the consensus of Konoha ninjas.
Both consensuses are true and not contradictory.
But the question is...can the Hokage family dare to swallow this deadly poison wrapped in honey?
Especially the Sarutobi shogunate. The miraculous operation performed by Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the battle to capture the tailed beasts has already made various ninja families complain. If the southern region is also used as the new jurisdiction of the Sarutobi shogunate, then the Hokage family will The ninja clans all started to stir up trouble right away!
"If the village is unwilling to take over, then I will entrust Iwagakure to take care of it. I believe they will be very happy."
Uchiha Demitsu said nonchalantly.
"...Are you planning to ask me to issue a document ordering Sarutobi Shinnosuke to move northward?"
Hatake Sakumo said helplessly: "These problems are not big, but Hokage-sama may not accept such a type of document."
"Can a monkey change his personality of picking peaches? I really don't believe it!"
Uchiha Tokko laughed.
