Chapter 1199 British sponsorship (first update, please subscribe)
A gold bubble swept the investment circle in London like a storm. Thousands of investors fell into bankruptcy overnight, tens of millions of pounds were wiped out, and the losses were undeniably heavy.

However, the British Empire has a big family and a big business. Let alone a loss of 5000 to [-] million pounds, it is hundreds of millions of pounds, and they don't blink.

In fact, the decline of the empire is almost like this-it often starts with the big coin distribution. Although the methods of coin distribution are different, when the wealth accumulated over the past hundred years is distributed in this way, the decline of the empire will also be the same. It's inevitable.

Of course, for the British on both sides of the Thames, they must not be aware of this problem.

For them, it is nothing more than investment failures one after another. In business, losing money is nothing more than a normal thing.

In this era, no one is aware of this loss at all, and what is lost is the wealth of the entire empire.

The British didn't know, but as the instigator, they knew the meaning behind it very well.

"This time our profit exceeded 320 million pounds. According to the investment ratio, in addition to the royal family, the bank, the army and the navy, the Imperial National Pension Fund, as the largest investor, received 40% of the profit..."

As the president of the Imperial Bank, Hu Xueyan looked very excited when he reported the investment income of the gold mine in southern Africa. After all, there are not many opportunities in this world to lie down and pick up money like this.

What's more, this pick is tens of millions!

"Inform the Imperial National Pension Fund that there will be another chance soon, and there is still a chance at the gold mine."

What is the Imperial National Pension Fund?
It is the social security fund of the empire. The pension insurance of tens of millions of empire citizens is managed by them. Since the establishment of the foundation, they have made various investments along with the expansion of the empire. The investment income is also extremely rich, like the foundation in Africa. The return on investment in the colonies has exceeded 50 times. According to calculations, after ten years, the return on investment in the African colonies alone is enough to support the empire's pension insurance expenditures, and it is still more than enough.

However, even so, Emperor Zhu did not forget to bring the Imperial National Pension Fund along with him to make a fortune.After all, everyone's pension money will be spent from it in the future, and of course everyone has to earn money together.

"Another chance?"

Hu Xueyan was a little dazed, he looked at the emperor in surprise.

"Gold mine?"

"Yes, it's a gold mine!"

Emperor Zhu nodded and said.

"This is just the first investment. There will be a second wave of gold investment in southern Africa. The scale of this gold investment will be larger than this time. It is estimated that the market size will exceed 3000 million pounds. If we seize the opportunity, it will be almost You can earn him £[-] or £[-] million!"

Two thirty million pounds!

Hearing that Hu Xueyan was almost not frightened, this is hundreds of millions of Ming Yuan!
Perhaps for the empire, this amount of money is not much, but it is almost equivalent to Tang's fiscal revenue!
Such a large sum of money still has to be dug from the British body. How much meat does this "big fat British" have to withstand such digging!
Hu Xueyan said doubtfully.

"This, this has suffered a loss once, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be fooled in the future!"

"Fucked?"

Emperor Zhu didn't even bother to talk to him.

Good guy, am I a liar?
"How could it be a lie? It is a real investment. There must be gold there, and it is very likely to be the largest gold mine in human history. In a few months, a new round of investment frenzy will definitely be there Let's take this opportunity to make another wave of money!"

It’s not just a circle, but several circles—now almost all the land in Baishuiling has been bought by a subsidiary company of the investigation department. After the news of the "discovery of gold" spreads, they can take the opportunity to raise the land price. Circle a sum of money.

Of course, this is small money, what is the real big money?
It must be the next wave of investment in the Baishuiling Gold Mine—hundreds of companies with a market value of hundreds of millions of pounds!
This is an opportunity to make big money!

Seize this opportunity and prevent the British from contributing a few months' pensions to all Ming people. I am sorry for the hard work of that big fat man who has searched India for so many years.

It's not easy to think about the Brits!

The wealth that has been exhausted in India for so many years has changed hands in southern Africa.

Hey... so, make more!

"Is there really gold there?"

Hu Xueyan said in surprise.

"There really is gold!"

"That's definitely a long-term investment."

Shaking his head, Emperor Zhu enjoyed the roast duck on the dining table, and then said.

"One duck and three meals!"

"what?"

"This wave is still a bubble, but it blows bigger, because there is indeed gold, but, according to the geological report we have obtained, this gold mine is a bit interesting..."

But after the gold mines on the surface are mined, the British will find that the ore not only becomes harder and harder as it goes down, but also has less and less content. What is more terrible?It is the "amalgam method" for extracting gold in this era that cannot extract such rare gold at all.

Then, the reaction of the capital market was honest, and the second gold mining investment boom in southern Africa burst again.Another wave of Londoners jumped into the Thames.

What is twists and turns, this is twists and turns!

If it wasn't for knowing that a few years later, that gold mine would be the largest in the world, owning one-third or even more than half of the world's gold, Emperor Zhu would really like to sympathize with the British.

Of course, Emperor Zhu certainly couldn't say that he knew all of this a long time ago.So we can only push this matter to the geological report of the geological prospecting department.

Hearing His Majesty's explanation, Hu Xueyan was stunned.

"Well, the Englishman is really unlucky!"

"Unlucky?"

Emperor Zhu sneered.

"What's the bad luck! The Boers are the ones who are really unlucky. If the technical production problems of such a large gold mine are solved, will the British just watch the Boers occupy this gold mine?"

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty. The Boers can't keep such a big gold mine."

Hu Xueyan's eyes lit up when he mentioned "unable to defend", he said.

"Your Majesty said one duck and three eats... Let's eat the investment boom twice first, and then invest in gold mines. With the help of the empire, the Boers naturally don't have to worry about the British."

"Boer doesn't have to worry about the British, but they will also worry about us. Everyone is innocent and guilty, and it is placed between the two great powers. No matter who the Boers choose, the final result will be the same. The gold mine is in their hands. , It's like a child with a daughter in a busy market."

With a smile on his face, Emperor Zhu said directly.

"You don't have to think about the future of the gold mine. It's still the same as before. Mobilize the best investment experts and seize the opportunity to make a wave of quick money. As for the gold mine..."

Of course, it must be handed over to the British, otherwise, why would Emperor Zhu go to so much trouble to set up a leather bag company in the UK just to let the British fall into the quagmire of war.Daming meddling?
Get yourself into a quagmire!

In another world, the Boer War was a symbol of the decline of the British Empire. In this world... with the friendly help of Ming Dynasty, they will definitely decline even more.

"The money earned by the navy can just build a few more warships, thanks to the sponsorship of the British Empire..."
