The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 426

On August 20, 1645, the Swedish West India Company was handed over to Exordia from the Privy Council as a royal direct management company. From then on, the chief steward of the Three Crown Palaces replaced the emperor for management, which is conducive to the direct control of funds by the emperor. And dominance can be regarded as Olaf’s love for the goddess.

On August 22, the Swedish East India Company was established in Stockholm. At the same time, the stock exchange and bank were also established. The stock exchange sold 10,000 shares of West India Company and 10,000 shareholders’ Indian company shares.

Stockholm Bank can also exchange European currencies, and provide deposit and loan services.

The bosses behind the Swedish East India Company, the stock exchange and the bank are Olaf, but the partners include Christina, the head of the Danish East India Company, Honrod, Hadar, Ulav, and Nolen, and the general manager on the face. It is Mr. Nollen concurrently, and each partner has a spokesperson to participate in the management as a director.

The West India Company’s business is grain and cane sugar, and its income has been stable in recent years, but the colony is only a small island, so its scale is small, its development potential is limited, and the stock increase is not very large. Although the sale was completed on the same day, But at the end of August it only rose to 18 Swedish silver dollars per 0.1 share, which is a 9-fold increase.

However, because of the success of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the East India Company has made the Swedish people very confident. In addition, the shareholders are all bigwigs in the Swedish empire, as well as the Danish East India Company. The stock has risen from 0.1 shares of 2 Swedish silver dollars to 40 silver dollars, that is, 1 share of 400 silver dollars, an increase of up to 20 times. You also have 10,000 shares in your hands. At this time, everyone can cash out 4 million silver dollars as long as they throw out the stock. This is entirely theoretical, and if a massive sell-off is true, the stock price will surely be knocked down.

Since the East India Company has not yet successfully colonized, the stock price stabilized after it rose to 400 silver dollars per share. However, although most merchants and landlords exchanged their home deposits with certificates of securities transactions, all of them I am very happy and confident about the future path to wealth.

On September 10, in the autumn of Northern Europe, the Swedish East India Company had completed preparations and used 20,000 shares of 400,000 silver dollars to purchase 10 armed merchant ships from the Icelandic shipyard. At the same time, it also purchased a large amount of vermilion ginseng and walrus tusks. Rare furs such as horns, whale horns, whale oil, dried fish, **** skins, seal skins, white bear skins, wolf skins, etc. All in all, in addition to the daily necessities necessary for navigation in 10 merchant ships, they are special products from the mysterious Wenland, Greenland, and Iceland. NS.

This first batch of goods to be sold to the Far Southeast Ming and Qing Dynasty was decided by Olaf and Song Qinghe and other Ming people after discussion. All the materials are considered luxury items and rare items in the heavens, so it is Olaf for Let the East India Company open up the market in the Far East carefully prepared.

Full of anticipation and hope for the East India Company’s first ocean-going business activity, shareholders such as Olaf and the large and small shareholders who purchased 0.1 to 100 shares in Sweden all appeared at the dock and bid farewell to 10 ships flying the flag of the Swedish Empire. Armed merchant ships.

The main leader of this fleet is Umisen, the best Viking businessman in the new generation of Iceland. He is the cousin of Aunt Olaf’s family. There are more than ten merchant ships, and they are also the pocketbook of the Icelandic Viking Marshal Hadar.

The second is Olaf’s confidant Lixstrom, who was transferred from Wenlan on a special trip. As the envoy of the Swedish Empire, he also brought more than 2,000 Viking Musketeers and tens of thousands of them. Accompany the flintlock musket with hundreds of heavy artillery.

In addition to the Viking merchants, the two leaders were accompanied by the assistant manager of the Danish East India Company, and Song Qinghe’s most proud disciple, Liu Fu, accompanied ten Indian slave students as interpreters and diplomatic envoys.

Olaf’s purpose is to establish diplomatic and commercial ties with Daming through the caravan and get enough benefits at the weakest moment of the Eastern Dragon.

Now that the celestial dynasty has fallen into a civil war, it doesn’t pay attention to the development of shipbuilding technology, so there is no ocean-going ship that can compare with the Galen warship. Even if Zheng Yiguan is still the existence of the Dragon King, Olaf believes there are ten armed merchant ships. , Enough to make Zheng Zhilong respect the Swedish East India Company.

Olaf has just been comfortable in Stockholm for a few days, but in early September the peasant uprising in Germany and the Russian and Polish uprisings in Livonia occurred one after another, which made Olaf’s mood worse.

There were continuous heavy rains in most parts of Europe in August this year, and the floods turned the land of Eastern and Central Europe into a country.

Reduced grain production or even no harvest has become the norm in various countries. A great famine took the lead in Russia and Poland in Eastern Europe.

Although Poland and Russia in Eastern Europe are European granaries, the more natural disasters appear, the more expensive the food. With the participation of man-made disasters, famines occurred in these two countries that should have been starving for the first time, and then extended to Posey. Mia, Germany, France.

As the victims fled to Livonia, the Lithuanians and Poles who had been exploited and suppressed in Livonia revolted with the victims.

The uprising in Livonia had just risen, and the rebels in the German region captured five cities first, making the army and governor sent to the front by the Swedish Empire panicked.

After Olaf formulated a strategy to defend against the enemy in the Privy Council, and at the same time sent more soldiers and generals to the battlefield, the Livonian rebels had been defeated by Hudik and Jesnylenin and fled. In the mountains and forests.

However, the rebels in the German region are getting stronger and stronger. They are able to fight against the Swedish heavenly soldiers. Olaf, who has received the latest frontline reports, understands that the rebels in the German region must have the support of the Habsburg emperor and the German princes. Europe has evolved from civilization to At the end of World War II, there has been constant warfare, so Olaf is not surprised. The Principality of Pomerania, as the base camp for suppressing the German rebels, personally went to Szczecin to supervise the battle, and began to concentrate on the cause of counter-insurgency. The enlargement of the rebels caused the Swedish empire to lose large tracts of land on the southern shore of the Baltic.

Although the Swedish empire is still the top power in Europe, it has just experienced civil strife and fell into a counterinsurgency war, so its deterrence against Poland and Russia has weakened a lot.

In mid-September, a war broke out between the Russian and Polish armies in the Cossack ruler~www.mtlnovel.com~ The two countries fought against Ukraine as the battlefield, in the name of fighting for the suzerainty of the Cossack ruler. In fact, one wanted to regain lost ground. The other wants to expand its territory.

Olaf soon learned of the news. Hudik and Raul sent personnel to send the battle report. In addition to understanding the battlefield developments in Eastern Europe, Olaf also received news from the envoys sent by the two countries. It seems that both sides hope. The Swedish side gave diplomatic and commercial support.

Sweden has high-quality iron ore. At present, the best cannons and muskets that European countries can produce are first made in Sweden, so Poland and Russia also want to purchase a batch of artillery from Sweden.

The status and prestige of the Swedish empire is the speaker of Northern Europe, the speaker of Eastern Europe, and even the major players in Europe. Therefore, Poland and Russia have realized that they must seek support from Sweden on the issue of the Cossack dominance.

It has been five months since Olaf became the godfather regent, and he has a bit of experience in how to control the huge Swedish empire, and he has a deep understanding of the intentions of the two neighbors in Eastern Europe.

From the perspective of Sweden’s interests, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak is the only option. Therefore, when Russia and Poland are vying for victory or defeat, the Swedish empire must maintain a detached existence with an attitude of not helping each other, and wait until you want it. Use thunder to support and help the weak, beat the strong, and maintain the delicate relationship between Sweden and the two powerful neighbors in the east.
