"This is not a solution." Li Kai said while looking at his watch. Four hours have passed since they launched the attack. The sky was shining slightly. They only received support from two nearby platoons.

"The people of the Western Regions were very afraid of being beaten by us, and hid in the mountains and refused to come out." Li Kai said.

"I think this situation is also very good. At the very least, we don't have to worry about them rushing out at once. Our bullets may not be enough." said Zhao Jin, a second lieutenant officer who came to support.

Li Kai just nodded, agreeing with what Zhao Jin said.

After a night of fighting. Kai Li destroyed most of the munitions vehicles, and he has already written a report on the combat process. It's very simple, it's just a rough introduction to the causes of some things, and the current results. They expelled the people from the Western Regions into the Tianshan Mountains, so that they would not be able to enter the desert, but because of the large number of the opponents, they could not be completely annihilated by relying solely on weapon superiority. For this reason, Li Kai could only stop the offensive on the spot and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Has the casualty report come?" Li Kai asked a second-class soldier. The second-class soldier shook his head and said no. The fighting was fierce and the soldiers were a bit tired. Li Kai understands this, after all, many soldiers are like this. The advantage of the Qin army is not only weapons, but also morale in Li Kai's view. These Xiongnu soldiers are very brave in fighting. They have no fear of death and bravely charge. They regarded war as a kind of business and as a kind of fun. This is very similar to Qin Jun. His parents were like this. They were often very excited when they heard the news of the war. But now, this is how it is. Excitement is reduced a lot, and many people are greedy for money. This is the point where Qin is changing.

"Sir." Just when Li Kai was thinking about these issues, the privates reported.

"Sir, our casualties have been reported," said a corporal with a bandage on his head.

"Are you okay?" Li Switch asked heartily.

"It's okay, the skin was scratched by the flying bullet. It's okay after bandaging." The corporal reported.

"Well. Where is Xin Zhao?" Li Kai asked.

"Why didn't he come?" Li Kai asked.

"Sir, this, our sir, something went wrong." The corporal replied.

"What's the problem?" Li Kai asked.

"He is dead," the corporal replied.

Li Kai was a little confused, he didn't expect Xin Zhao to be killed in battle.

"This is not true." Li Kai was a little unbelievable.

"Sir, this is true, I know, you are a little hard to understand, but this is the situation." The corporal said, waving his arm.

"He is good, but he was a bit too reckless. He rushed too hard. The Western Regions hit him in the lung with a musket, and we can't save him, sir, you know, the bullet caliber of the musket is very Great, once shot, this." The corporal was a little sad. He knew that some words could not be expressed in words. It is really difficult for him to explain such a situation.

"I understand." Li Kai restrained himself.

"I understand. I understand you very well." Li Kai resisted the pain. Although the time he spent with him was not very long, in general, this person was not bad.

"Talk about the casualties." Li Kai asked.

"Ten were killed. Two were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured," the corporal said.

"Oh." Li Kai was a little surprised.

"Okay. You guys take a break first." Li Kai said.

"Yes, sir." The corporal nodded and left.

"Wait." At this moment, Li Kai stopped the other party.

"What's the sir?" The corporal asked, turning around.

"You did a good job, very good." Li Kai praised.

"Thank you sir." The corporal nodded.

"Yeah. Very good." Li Kai encouraged. He knew his people did a good job.

At a position thirty-five miles west of them, Newton heard a report of a war nearby.

"Can the situation be certain?" Newton asked.

"Yes, sir. The situation is very certain. Our two squads have been transferred to support." A second-class soldier reported.

"Yeah." Newton nodded.

"Everyone is ready, and we will support them. They are few in number, and we must effectively surround them." Newton felt that this was an opportunity, and this opportunity could unfold their fist.

"But, sir." An ensign officer next to him stood up and said worriedly.

"What's the matter?" Newton asked.

"Our defense zone, our search zone has not yet been completed. If there is an accident, we will have to bear great military responsibilities." The ensign reminded.

"Now is the critical moment of the war. We have very few people. And there are only a few enemies in our area. Such enemies are of little significance to us at all." Newton emphasized.

"Moreover, I am the highest commander here, and I have the right to make such a decision." Newton emphasized.

"Yes. Sir." said the ensign.

"Okay. Leave two squads, and you will be in charge of the ensign." Newton said. Then I took the rest of the people with their full support. Newton thought this was a very good opportunity. They searched for a long time but failed to find the trace of the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy suddenly appeared at this moment. This is their best opportunity.

Inside the headquarters of the 12th Regiment.

"Are you sure?" the leader Wang Er asked. He was a soldier from the army, an officer who got up from the bottom of the soldiers. Originally he was going to retire because the army didn't have more teams for him, and the competition below was fierce. If he hadn't had a lot of combat experience, he might not have served as such a commander.

"Well. This was directly submitted by the front-line commander, sir, I think this situation should be true." The staff on the side suggested.

"Yeah." Wang Er nodded.

"The problem is that this report did not determine the number of people, but only found enemies. There are many enemies. This concept is very vague." Wang Er said worriedly.

"This. Sir. I think we should send a reserve team to look at it. At the very least, we must look at the specific situation. If there is a battle, we can respond in time." The Chief of Staff suggested at this time.

"This." Wang Er shook his head.

"The current situation is very unclear. We suddenly sent a reserve force. If it is only a small unit, we will send a reserve force, even if it is part, it will cause us to encounter unexpected situations of insufficient strength." Wang Er Refused to send its own reserve force.

"I think we should wait and wait for the situation to be further clarified." Wang Er said.

"Look, how is it?" Wang Er said.

"But, sir, we should know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If something unexpected happens suddenly, we will be very bad." The Chief of Staff suggested at this time.

"This, I know. But what kind of consequences rash actions will bring, I think, you should know better than me." Wang Er prompted.

"So, I don't think it is wise for us to send reserve troops too early." Wang Er decided.

"It's better for us to wait for the news from our troops. Wait, be patient." Wang Er said, tapping the chief of staff on the shoulder. During the dialogue and this situation, Wang Er thinks that the situation is very unclear. If this goes on, it will easily cause them to be unable to concentrate their forces. This is a taboo of military strategists, and he is not willing to do so.

The chief of staff looked at Wang Er helplessly.

Qin State Xianyang.

"You can finally come back." Shangwen said when he got off the train and saw Meng Yi walking by anxiously.

"Have a lot of things happened in China?" Shang Wen asked with a smile.

"Yes, not just at home, but abroad. You know, Zhao Guo has its own stock trading center and South Korea has set up its own central bank. The emergence of these financial institutions is an impact for us. ." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Now Wang Shang is very worried. Qin's current advantage is financial advantage. If financial institutions appear in these countries, will it have a big impact on Qin?" Meng Yi took Shangwen away from the train station and confronted Shangwen. Speaking of his worries, King Qin’s vigilance for the emergence of such an institution is very strong. Within the scope of King Qin’s understanding, Zhao Guo and South Korea should not have institutions such as stock trading centers and central banks, because such institutions will It is very unfavorable to Qin's financial institutions.

"Hmm. Are you worried about this?" Shang Wen asked without worry at all.

"Yes, we are worried about this." Meng Yi said.

"It's not just that we are worried, but we are all worried. You have to know that this is very unfavorable to us." Meng Yi said.

"Our stock market, as well as the Federal Bank Reserve Board, what will they think? They will think that we have met an opponent, and it will take us a long time to deal with this opponent." Meng Yi said.

"Oh. No, no. I don't think so. Qin's financial advantages still exist and there is no need to worry about it." Shang Wen said.

"What?" Meng Yi asked, looking at Shang Wen.

"Our financial security is under great threat. Is it too relaxing to do so? If there is a big disaster, I am afraid that it is not the two of us that can bear it." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"There is no need to worry. Qin is in a stage of capital export. If it does not export capital, it will be difficult for Qin to complete further development, and Zhao’s stock exchange market and South Korea’s central bank are nothing but Qin. A platform for capital export, concentrated areas, these areas have a certain market direction. You are too nervous." Shang Wen smiled and patted Meng Yi's shoulder and said.

"Are you not worried at all?" Meng Yi asked after catching up to Shangwen.

"Yes, I am worried that we are too nervous. On the contrary, we missed such an opportunity. We should calm down and think carefully whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. If we want to understand such a thing, then we can do it well. More decisions are made." Shang Wen said.

"Right. How about Wang Shang?" Shang Wen asked.

"Very worried," Meng Yi replied.

"You know, no one understands the rationale of such a thing. If this happens, no one knows what the consequences will be." Meng Yi said worriedly.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"Do you know the attitude of the Federal Reserve Board?" Shangwen asked at this time.

"We don't know this well," Meng Yi replied.

"We are very unclear about the opinions of the Federal Reserve Board." Meng Yi continued.

"I think you should consult them more on this matter. They know how the bank's business is big, strong, and can bring great profits. If you only rely on us. I think it will be difficult for us. Do this." Shang Wen said.

"After all, the bank is not opened by us. We don't know the specific operation. We need more consultants to provide different opinions. That's why." Shang Wen said.

"Well, I understand. I will pay attention." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen. Meng Yi thinks that Shang Wen's reminder is right. He did not pay attention to the bank's opinion. He simply doesn't know what the bank's attitude is.

"We should think so." Shang Wen then said to Meng Yi.

"Think about it, what are we doing recently?" Shang Wen asked.

"We have to reduce the tariffs of all countries, and then increase the trade volume of all countries." Shang Wen said.

"Not only the six kingdoms of Guandong, there are more countries joining in, the Huns in the north, the mountain people, and the Western Regions, and other places." Shang Wen said.

"In order to meet this requirement, we have laid a lot of railways, and the trade has begun." Shang Wen said.

"The number of factories is also increasing, and the number of workers is increasing. But what is needed to do this?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi.

"Funds, money, you can't do these things without money." Meng Yi replied.

"Yes. There is no way to do these things without money. Qin State finally solved the funding problem by establishing a large number of commercial banks and the establishment of the Federal Reserve Board. But how do they solve the problem of the situation in various countries?" Shangwen asked at this time. Tao.

"The iron plant built by Zhao Guo needs a lot of funds, not only Zhao Guo, but also South Korea. South Korea’s funding problem has not been solved very well, and it has been completely solved. Don’t look at them establishing their own central bank, but don’t forget. Their central bank uses the Korean won, and the currency’s circulation capacity is very limited, and it is far from the wide circulation of Qin’s half-two banknotes. This is one of our advantages and one of the advantages we must take advantage of." Shang Wen said.

"Well, so, we need capital export." Shang Wen said.

"The export of capital and the expansion of trade are interdependent." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Countries need to open factories, and factories need capital to build them. At present, we are the only ones who can provide such a large-scale financial support and complete financial institutions such as banks and stock markets to invest." Shang Wen said.

"Regardless of the countries that have established their own central banks and stock markets, they still need Qin's capital. However, Qin's capital is not expanding very well. We should communicate more with those bankers to solve this problem. The problem, if it can’t be solved, it’s a disaster for us.” Shangwen said.

"Yeah. So, you are not worried at all." Meng Yi asked Shangwen.

"Yes, I think there is still a lot of ambiguity in our banking business." Shang Wen said.

"Fuzziness?" Meng Yi has become accustomed to Shang Wen's jumping thinking.

"Right." Shang Wen nodded.

"In general, our banks are not ready yet, or what they are doing is not very good. They are just simple mortgages, and they are not involved in the start of factories and trade. If they do so, it is very It is not conducive to the further development of Qin State Bank." Shang Wen said.

"Go on." Meng Yi wanted to know what Shang Wen thought of.

"I think that a bank has two functions. At the very least, it should have these two ways of making money." Shang Wen said.

"One is lending. The other is investment. Qin State Bank has done a very good job. It has done a lot. But the latter has done a very bad job. Few banks actively participate in the operation of enterprises. , Or they actively invest and participate. In other words, they lack a strategic investment." Shang Wen said.

"They rely heavily on their government and country, but they themselves do not actively fight for it. The former does have certain risks, but compared with the risks of the latter's active investment, they cannot be compared. They need to rely on themselves. For example, Zhao Guo’s steel plant, if they have iron, they need to build a steel plant in the next step. All of these require equipment and market evaluation, but Qin’s bank has not actually done this. Point, they did not grasp this opportunity well. Wenyang Bank just simply expanded its own chassis, and they did not have too much of the specific business competition, business operations, or the amount of profit that the projects brought. It has been calculated that such funds are extremely scattered and do not actually have a significant strategic effect." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"What does the prime minister mean?" Meng Yi asked.

"Increase another function of Qin State Bank, that is, the investment function. We want to see the powerful side of Qin State Bank's further development and growth." Shang Wen said.

"This." Meng Yi was still a little vague. But Shang Wen has already found his own answer. At present, Qin State's banking development is relatively scattered. It can be said that there is no overall entity that is very strong. Although there are giants such as the Royal Bank and Wenyang Bank, they are only large in size and chassis power. Such largeness is meaningless. Shang Wen is very clear that such banks are still commercial banks, and their business is only on lending, not on commercial investors. Qin is in a special stage of capital export, and Qin’s banking business is only on lending. , Such a demand simply cannot meet the development needs of various places.

The railway needs not only bank loans, but also investment, the development of commercial companies, the Western Regions, the Northern Regions, and Nanyang, etc. The expansion of capital requires the Bank of Qin to do more, but the bankers of Qin State A little scared. They dare not go beyond a step, fearing that risks threaten them. As a result, a good opportunity was missed, and Shang Wen keenly caught this opportunity. In this regard, Shang Wen was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the bankers, because it was a strong blow to Qin Guo.

"Okay. Let's go back and talk about it." Shang Wen and Meng Yi got in the car together. Mo Li followed closely behind.

"Quickly talk about it. What do we need to do and how should the bank develop?" Meng Yi asked in a series.

"Yeah." Shang Wen just hummed, then nodded, as if he had made a major decision.

"Qin needs a consortium. A large consortium. The current commercial banks can no longer meet Qin's needs." Shang Wen made a major decision.

"Consortium." Meng Yi asked while looking at Shang Wen.

"Yes. What Qin needs is a consortium, a large consortium, only these can meet the needs of Qin and the needs of other countries." Shang Wen said.

Qin really needs a consortium, and only the consortium can break through the current unfavorable situation. Qin Guo's banking function is very weak in terms of investment, and the consortium is not only in banking business, but also an important point, that is, their investment function. The most important feature of capital output is investment. They not only master the technology patents, but also have the funds in their hands. Only with the funds can they be invested. After the investment, the technological advantages can be further transformed into investment. Qin State has a lot of good things, but generally speaking, the countries do not have the funds, and it is difficult to use banks to drive them, because they cannot capture or do this, which requires Qin State Bank to fulfill the role of investment. , To complete such a role is to upgrade their functions. This is the function of venture capital, and the only way to resist such risks is to form a large-scale consortium to conduct effective analysis, investment, and diversify investment to reduce the difficulty of funding.

Qin needs a consortium to accomplish this, and countries and regions also need consortiums to make such investments. They are extremely short of such capital needs in funds and other projects such as technology patents.

"Yes. We need a consortium. The next plan is to upgrade our bank, let our bank upgrade to a consortium, and expand their functions in venture capital. Capital output is not only capital borrowing, but also investment. Only in this way, Our bank can be further upgraded to a consortium, and can further do more business." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. Consortium." Meng Yi muttered. It was the first time that he heard of such a term as the consortium, and Shang Wen opened a window to Meng Yi, allowing him to see the existence of greater profits, and these are all stages that Qin must develop in the future.

"Okay. Let's develop the consortium." Meng Yi believes that the consortium is what Qin needs most. Since it is the most needed, it must be developed. And there is no reason to doubt the significance of the existence of the consortium.
