Chapter 759 (2/2)

After all, things like gold, silver and precious stones, were commodities in their own right. Their prices would definitely rise if they were scarce. Also, unlike Earth, there were many places in this world where these things were consumed—for example, whenever magicians made statues or laid out magic arrays, they would usually consume kilograms of gold, several times or even ten times more of white silver and many rare precious stones as well.

This would cause money in the market to continue to decrease. This would certainly cause a major disaster!

Sui Xiong had always been a little worried about this matter. All these years, due to the development in the commercial and entertainment industries, the Republic of Northwest could be said to be earning buckets of gold every day. Although large quantities of materials for production were purchased at the same time, most of these materials for production were converted to food, beverages, weapons and armor, or even things like luxury products. Then again, these things would become money again.

So there were more and more gold coins in the vault. They no longer “piled up into a mountain,” but rather, they piled up into many small mountains. Watching the gold coins piling into a mountain would previously be a delightful sight to Frost and Graupel, but now, they were simply numbed into indifference.

These two were probably the happiest rock dragons, or perhaps even the happiest dragons in the world. The other dragons had to think of all ways possible and risk all sorts of dangers to earn enough wealth. These two dragons only had to guard the vault for Sui Xiong, and then they could enjoy a happy life of rolling about in gold coins and precious stones when they pleased. The other dragons’ nests only had one pile of gold coins, while the gold coins in their vault had piled into a… golden sea.

About two-thirds of these gold coins were Sui Xiong’s personal assets. They really were his personal assets because he had practically built the few most lucrative businesses in the Republic of Northwest through his personal investments. He had sole proprietorship over all of them. Even if he were to divest a portion of these shares, he would still remain the biggest shareholder.

More importantly, those who received a part of the shares—for instance, the higher-ups of the Republic—were all people who had to spend money, and they often spent a great amount of money. But Sui Xiong had practically spent next to nothing.

Basically, he had no expenses to speak of at all.

In the past, he would occasionally create a copy of himself, take the appearance of a mortal and wander around the mortal world. When in high spirits, he would often spend money extravagantly. In recent years, he had stopped doing such things. There was no longer any place for him to spend money.

As he watched the wealth in his vault grow with the passing of time, Sui Xiong felt that the financial order of this world was on the verge of collapse.

So he could hardly wait to spend his money.

The best way was to spend in places where the money would go into circulation very quickly, for instance, giving out money, distributing money and also, allocating money…

However, money should not be given out without any form of order. Sui Xiong had once proposed to give every adult citizen of the Republic of Northwest dozens of gold coins on an annual basis, but this was jointly rejected by the country’s higher-ups. Their reason was that giving out money so loosely would affect the normal production and life of the country.

Sui Xiong really did not know how giving out money could affect the normal production and life of the country, but since that was what everyone said, he surmised that perhaps the situation was really as such.

So he could only worry as he watched more and more money piling up.

The Fighter Championship was the best way he had ever thought of to spend money. The prizes were only second best. Every time this grand event was held, a large amount of money would be spent on purchasing materials and paying for labor costs. These were the areas where most of the money was spent on.

Unfortunately, this event was held on a once-a-decade basis. The amount of money spent was still too little…

As he squandered his money as he pleased, Sui Xiong was also secretly mumbling to himself, “None of you are in favor of me giving out money. If I still don’t think of some ways to put money back into the market, what will I do when the world’s financial order goes wrong in the future…”
