God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 332: The Exchange Opens

The Pastoral Pope froze for a moment, not quite understanding what his son was saying.

But recently, there’d been too many things he didn’t understand that, under his son’s leadership, had flourished. Even facing the Golden Merchant Guild’s enormous competitive pressure, they were thriving like fish in water. So his trust in his son had reached an unprecedented level.

After hearing Wool Ryan’s words, the Pastoral Pope instinctively took the Magic Net ring and began examining it. When he saw content about the stock exchange, he was obviously stunned.

"You mean we make the wool industry like those new companies—adopt a shareholding system, then sell part of the equity on this stock exchange?"

The Pastoral Pope looked at his son with some confusion. "The Wool Guild is our Church of Shepherding’s core industry. All income and expenses are uniformly managed by the Church of Shepherding, regardless of profit or loss. How can we hand over part of our industry to others?"

The Church of Shepherding was really a niche church. There were just too few shepherds in this world, and these people generally had tight finances. Once they encountered heavy snow, they’d die en masse, affecting the church’s stability.

So the Church of Shepherding had to have a way to make money, thereby almost never collecting money from believers, and even being able to give back to believers during crises, helping them get through difficulties, thus gaining more pure faith in return.

The Wool Guild bore this responsibility.

But now his son actually planned to publicly sell one-fifth or even more of the Wool Guild. He just found it incredible.

"Father, do you think the stock exchange is really something the dragon race wants to do?" Wool Ryan looked straight at his father, asking in a somewhat strange tone.

"Isn’t... isn’t it?" The Pastoral Pope was obviously stunned.

"We work for the god. Others may not know, but don’t we know? This is obviously the God of Technology’s handiwork."

Wool Ryan had experienced a lot recently, making his originally somewhat clever brain start using the knowledge in his head more. "The God of Technology has a reason for everything he does. You won’t deny that, right?"

The Pastoral Pope nodded slightly.

Even as the pope of another church, he wouldn’t deny such a thing.

This was something all deities and mortals had witnessed together, and it was indeed fact.

Wool Ryan continued, "Since we can confirm this is the God of Technology’s handiwork, can’t we deduce a lot of information? For example, according to rumors coming back, Viscount Roster recently returned to Roster territory and is conducting sweeping reforms. Why?"

"Is it related to this?"

"The God of Technology, the God of Technology’s believers—they’ve all mobilized... Yes, I actually can’t see the deeper meaning in this, but do we need to? We just need to closely follow Viscount Roster on the path laid out by the God of Technology, and there definitely won’t be any problems."

"Besides, do we really know nothing? It’s almost the Month of Harvest. Before long we’ll enter the Frigid Moon. Roster territory’s garment factories need our raw material supply."

Wool Ryan’s words were already very clear.

He didn’t know what this project was for or how to gain more benefits from it, but he knew this was created by the God of Technology. The God of Technology’s believers were walking this path, so there was no problem.

Of course, to avoid being part of the followers who were the ones meant to be harvested, he needed to reach some cooperation with people from Viscount Roster’s territory.

"But after all, this is what the God of Technology prepared..."

"Our Wool Guild has already gained massive profits leveraging the God of Technology. That’s not wrong, is it?" Wool Ryan directly interrupted the Pastoral Pope’s words. "The God of Technology is the answer for this version. Only by closely following Him can we bring huge benefits to our god. The god tolerates our actions, even encourages our actions."

The Pastoral Pope was silent for a long time.

He nodded.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say. We’ll go public and prepare the Wool Guild’s reform. Push it through as quickly as possible. I’ll contact the dragons right now."

"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. We’ll just sell a portion, right? For example, if our Wool Guild is divided into 100 shares total, we’ll sell at most 49 shares. That way we’ll control 51% of the say. Even if everyone who buys our stock unites, they can’t have any impact on us. Instead, we can use the money from selling those 49% of shares for development."

Seeing his father’s concerns, Wool Ryan smiled and explained his thoughts on control.

At almost the same time, across various regions of the continent, many people with a certain amount of influence or control over business organizations began taking action.

The most active among them was naturally "Tricky Coin" Sir Iver from the Gray Fort Empire.

Recently, during the spread of Magic Conductors in the Gray Fort Empire, he’d created numerous factories, quite a few with the Gray Fort Emperor behind them. The impact couldn’t be considered small.

He quickly understood the significance of going public.

After figuring it out, he immediately rushed to the palace to seek the Gray Fort Emperor’s advice.

Too many shrewd merchants were taking action.

City-State Alliance.

City of Gold.

Next to Dragon Bank headquarters and Dragon Delivery headquarters, a brand new stone building was rising from the ground at a terrifying speed. Dozens of legendary figures and countless high-tier magicians were gathered together by the dragons to build this magnificent structure.

Almost every blink, the building would visibly grow taller.

"This speed really is amazing!"

The castellan of the City of Gold, after recovering his life, had become more cherishing of his body. Plus with help from a certain ancient dragon ancestor, his body was getting better and better, and his energy was great too.

The others beside him didn’t dare comment on this. They didn’t know what the castellan meant—maybe he was mocking, maybe he was marveling. If they misunderstood, things would be rough.

"Looks like it should be finished in two or three days, even faster than expected." The castellan of the City of Gold spoke again. "By the way, did the dragons have us recruit new employees? Are there any special requirements?"

All the regular employees of Dragon Bank and Dragon Delivery were human or elven. First, their appearance was better. Second, they wouldn’t bring additional pressure to visiting customers. The dragons mainly just provided transportation services and lay around collecting money.

With this new industry about to land, as the former person in charge, he actually didn’t have tasks in this area. He felt just a tiny bit uncomfortable about it.
