The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 278: Chapter 250: Master Servant Dialogue

What Butler Kt said was naturally correct, as the ruler of a country, the degree of public support is the most important factor, and the troubles brought about by high public support are naturally negligible.

Moreover, Arthur is not interested in shopping or anything like that, so instead of wasting time shopping, why not pay atttion to some national developmt issues, right?

Without discussing this little episode further, Arthur kept his eyes on Butler Kt and asked with a smile, "Butler Kt, how is the status of the Royal Financial Group?"

The Royal Financial Group makes up the majority of Arthur's private property, and is also the cornerstone of Arthur maintaining his military power and reputation.

After all, without money, nothing can be accomplished. The role of the Royal Financial Group is to provide Arthur with a steady stream of income, which is converted into military power, prestige and a variety of other things.

"Your Majesty, overall, the developmt of the Royal Financial Group is going very smoothly. Starting with the Royal Bank, the bank's business has now expanded to Europe and the United States, with a total of forty-sev branches worldwide," Butler Kt reported.

"Currtly, Royal Bank has over 6,363,00 customers, with a total deposit amount of 43,70,000 Australian dollars, averaging more than 5 Australian dollars per customer. Currtly, our loan business has a total of ,34,00 loans, and the amount of loans distributed is up to 80 million Australian dollars."

The reason why the Royal Bank has so many customers is because most of the wage expditures of Australasians rely on the Royal Bank, and the issuance of Australian dollars is jointly carried out by the governmt's Currcy Managemt Bureau and the Royal Bank. Therefore, the Royal Bank is the first choice for Australasians to conduct currcy business.

It is also the most popular and trusted bank because of Arthur's guarantees and prestige.

Hearing about millions of loans, Arthur was not alarmed at all.

After all, the loan business of the Royal Bank has to be reviewed, loans are only giv after it is confirmed that there is ough qualification.

Moreover, in Australasia, Arthur doesn't have to worry about borrowers absconding at all.

After all, before the loan is granted, the bank will sure that the borrower has ough assets. If people run away, wouldn't the houses and properties left behind still be there? The bank won't suffer a loss.

Taking the currt developmt of Australasia into account, there are opportunities to make money everywhere, and there are already hundreds of foreign companies stationed in Australasia.

Seeing such an opportunity, many people have tak out loans for this reason.

Although the main reason for Arthur to establish the Royal Bank was to facilitate his own funds and to control the finances of Australasia.

But the currt Royal Bank has already become a high-profit industry, with an annual income of the Royal Bank reaching millions of Australian dollars, and this is mainly because the business of the Royal Bank is mainly in Australasia itself.

"In addition to the Royal Bank, the developmt of our arms factories and shipbuilding factories is also going very smoothly. The number of employees in the arms factory has exceeded 8,000, making it the largest factory in Australasia with the capability to manufacture the most weapons.

And the number of employees in the shipyard has also exceeded 6,000, making it the largest shipyard currtly in Australasia.

These two military industries can bring at least 3 million Australian dollars in revue to the Royal Financial Group every year, and their significance is far greater than the income they gerate." Seeing that Arthur didn't show any inttion to ask, Butler Kt continued his report.

Needless to say, these two military industries are of great importance to Arthur and Australasia.

At prest, most of the weapons equipmt and warships of Australasia come from these two military industries. This is an important way for Arthur to maintain his military power and is also a significant factor for the rise of Australasia.

For Arthur, the scale of the arms factories and shipyards should not only be large, but also get larger and larger to meet Arthur's expectations for Australasia.

"At prest, the Royal Financial Group owns shares in over a thousand small and medium-sized businesses, personal workshops, and factories. The proportion of the shares varies from one to forty perct. The total value of these shares is over two million Australian dollars.

Although these corporations hav't brought any income to the Royal Financial Group yet, our purpose of investing in them is not profit, but to provide momtum for the developmt of various industries in Australasia.

Looking at it now, at least t perct of these thousands of businesses will develop to some extt, and maybe some of them will become the Titans of some industries in about t years," Kt Butler said with a smile.

The actions of the Royal Financial Group seem more like a lavder plan, to nurture the industry giants of Australasia from scratch.

Ev if investing in thousands of businesses won't consume too much capital, it will be a win for Arthur if a part of these businesses becomes the giants of their industries in the future.

The investmt in other businesses can also be considered incidtal, as most of the investmts in these small and medium-sized businesses are just petty tricks.

"At prest, which of these businesses have developed on a larger scale?" Arthur asked.

The Royal Financial Group has be established for several years now, which means some of these businesses have be invested in for several years.

A few years of developmt should not make having a certain scale difficult, or at least Arthur thinks so.

"Your Majesty, among the businesses we own shares in, most are in the food and light industries, with a small proportion in other industries. The most developed currtly are a couple in the food industry in Sydney and Victoria State, the largest scale has reached over nine hundred people, there should be at least a hundred factories with a scale of over a hundred people," Butler Kt answered.

The Australasian Governmt also gives these terprises quite gerous subsidies, and coupled with the steady economic developmt of Australasia, there's a large amount of local labor in the industrial zones. And therefore, the expansion of these factories' scale is not difficult.

Especially these food industries, which made a lot of money during the East Asian famine, so their scale has naturally expericed a large expansion.

"The substantial expansion in the number of factories and their scale is partly depdt on leading terprises like the Bz Car Factory." Butler Kt explained.

"As Your Majesty knows, Bz Car Factory is currtly the largest car production company in the world, and our native main factory is also quite large. Car production involves various kinds of equipmt and parts, these parts also provide many survival spaces for downstream small factories.

Currtly, three businesses we invested in have cooperated with Bz Car Factory to specifically supply Bz Car Factory with quality rubber tires."

No matter which industrial area, the scale of industry oft resembles a complete assembly line, where each factory takes what it needs.

Just like the currt industrial zone in Sydney, the leading terprises are still Arthur's Arms Factory and the Bz Car Factory.

Let's not talk about the arms factory for now, the Bz Car Factory has provided many convices for the developmt of the industrial zone.

The scale of the Bz Car Factory is not sufficit to support the production of all automobile parts and equipmt, and there is no need to do so.

This has also led to many small factories and workshops that can rely on the parts market of the Bz Car Factory for survival.

In the Sydney industrial area, at least dozs of companies have cooperated with the Bz Car Factory to specifically provide parts such as tires, steering wheels, auto glass, seat belts, instrumt panels, and seats for the Bz Car Factory.

After all, the annual production of the Bz Car Factory is as high as several hundred thousand. These orders can fully sustain large numbers of small factories, which is why there are hundreds of large and small factories in the Sydney industrial area to this date.

Bz Car Factory needs steel and parts produced by other factories in the industrial area, and other small factories also need Bz Car Factory's various part orders.

The annual output value of the Sydney industrial area has exceeded 30 million Australian dollars, and a considerable portion of this can be attributed to the Bz Car Factory.

Arthur simply nodded. He wasn't surprised by these circumstances.

This situation is very common in the industrial field. After all, no factory can guarantee that it is an all-er capable of indepdtly producing all the parts and materials needed for their products.

If special production lines are built for some parts and materials that are not in high demand, not only would it require a lot of time, ergy, and money, the resulting cost is oft not worth the investmt, thereby causing a loss.

This is where the role of these small factories comes to the fore. Because these are small factories, they can focus on producing certain parts and materials. The occasional orders from the Bz Car Factory are ough for their survival for a year and can also provide sufficit raw material and part supplies for Bz Car Factory.

Ev Arthur's Arms Factory has numerous small factories with which it cooperates.

However, because the military industry involves national and royal interests, these small factories are gerally controlled by the royal family, ev if they only produce wood gunstocks.

"In addition to these large and small factories, we also own thirty-one mines of various sizes, four oil fields, three hospitals, two universities, one polytechnic school, along with a newspaper company. The Royal Financial Group- our shadow can be found basically everywhere throughout Australasia." Butler Kt said with a hint of pride.

The success of the Royal Financial Group in achieving its currt scale, apart from Arthur's initial substantial investmt, is also largely attributable to the efforts of Butler Kt.

As the former butler of Duke Old Arthur, Butler Kt's economic capability and vision are naturally beyond doubt. Otherwise, he would not have be in charge of Duke Old Arthur's private assets.

In addition to help from a large number of economic experts from Europe and Australasia hired by Arthur, the Royal Financial Group's rapid expansion also seems normal.

At Kt's slightly proud words, Arthur also smiled slightly and said sincerely: "The currt scale of the Royal Financial Group, Butler Kt, can't be achieved without your contributions. The royal family and I will remember your contributions and those of Minister Kt. The during relationship betwe the Lawrce Family and the royal family!"

Butler Kt and his eldest son, Minister Kt, both come from the Lawrce family. The name was giv by Duke Old Arthur, which shows the relationship betwe the Lawrce family and the royal family.

In fact, the relationship betwe the nobility and the butler in Europe has a long history. If nothing unexpected happs, Butler Kt's son will become the butler of Arthur's descdants, and the next geration will be the same. This is the inseparable relationship betwe the main family and the servant family.

Because of this relationship, Butler Kt is the most trusted loyal subordinate that Arthur can have, and Minister Kt has also be placed in an important position like the Ministry of Defse by Arthur.

Most of Arthur's military power is controlled at ease, thanks to Minister Kt's role in the Ministry of Defce.

Arthur was watched and raised by Butler Kt, and Butler Kt's loyalty to Arthur is almost unconditional.

After receiving such sincere words from Arthur, Butler Kt was almost in tears, and said emotionally, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I and the Lawrce family will always stand firmly at Your Majesty's front. The Lawrce family will always be the servants of the royal family!"

Yes, servant, not a subordinate. Although it seems to be of a much lower status, this relationship is much closer than that of a subordinate. For Arthur, Kt Butler is definitely one of the people he trusts most.
