Rise of the Argentine Empire

February 6th, Monday, in the middle of summer, the weather was clear and sunny.

The morning temperature was already 22 degrees Celsius, and the sky was clear.

Today, Saint-Hesse got up early, washed up, changed his clothes, and had breakfast with his wife, Ilena, and daughter, Britney.

His wife was now six months pregnant and unable to attend the stock exchange opening ceremony today, so she stayed at home. His eldest daughter was almost three years old, quiet and well-behaved, making people feel sorry for her.

After breakfast, the butler, Luke, had already prepared the car, and the security team was also in position.

Today, the La Pampa Defense Force arranged a regiment to maintain the defense around the stock exchange, and the Blanca City Police Department also arranged 4,000 elite police officers to be responsible for the on-site security in the western district.

In addition, White Harbor Security, a security company that had formally separated from the Falcon Bureau and become independent, also arranged all its personnel to be responsible for the auxiliary security work in the surrounding area.

The people who came today were all very important, so Saint-Hesse was also going all out to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

The Falcon Intelligence Bureau has now completely transformed into an elite intelligence agency, reorganized once after being purged by Saint-Hesse.

The Falcon Bureau's personnel were greatly reduced, and it once again became an important aid to him, mainly responsible for intelligence gathering and other intelligence processing, closely following Saint-Hesse, instead of setting up institutions everywhere as before.

Grellot, the head of the Falcon Bureau, had also chosen to withdraw from the Falcon Bureau due to serious work errors and not adapting to the new development situation.

He founded a trading company in Blanca City, which was doing quite well. He was still very good at being a commercial broker. He helped him to wipe out the Bird Brotherhood in Cordoba, and he had always been meritorious in the potassium triangle area.

Grellot recommended Dante Rezel, a member he favored the most, to serve as the new director. Saint-Hesse agreed after investigating. Dante was a graduate of Rosario University, three years older than Saint-Hesse, and a born intelligence agent.

Dante has a strong strategic mind and can quickly formulate corresponding tactical measures according to the changes in the intelligence situation. He has obtained a large amount of useful intelligence in the United States and Europe. He is the most outstanding head of the European branch of the Falcon Bureau's International Commercial Intelligence Department, helping Rhein Armaments, Rhein Industries, La Plata Steel Plant, Prari International and other companies complete a large amount of intelligence collection.

Dante is a top military expert with rich combat experience and military knowledge. He participated in the Blue Delta military project and received an S-level rating. After officially serving as the head of the Falcon Bureau, he made great changes to the Falcon Bureau's reform.

Some of the other people who withdrew from the Falcon Bureau were incorporated into the Blanca City Hall system and became members of the Secretariat Office of the Mayor's Office. Some joined the General Staff Department of the La Pampa Defense Force as staff officers, and some completely withdrew from Saint-Hesse's command, choosing to formally join some companies to work and return to normal life. Some with strong abilities took Saint-Hesse's funding to settle in Blanca City and started their own businesses.

Last year, due to various funding shortages, Saint-Hesse reduced his investment in intelligence acquisition a lot, and the Falcon Bureau's intelligence acquisition capabilities were also weakened, resulting in missing important information many times, which was a very profound lesson.

Even such an outrageous thing as the nationalization of Rhein Armaments was not found out. Although this matter was also within a very short time window, it also proved from the side that the Falcon Bureau at that time was no longer able to do intelligence work and became a deformed semi-commercial institution, which violated Saint-Hesse's original intention of benchmarking against world-class intelligence agencies.

This incident caused Saint-Hesse heavy losses and made him start to re-attach importance to the Falcon Bureau. Finally, he was determined to rectify this institution and carry out a thorough purge and intelligence specialization.

Several security companies were stripped out of the Falcon Bureau, separating from useless military construction.

Among them, the largest commercial institutions of the Falcon Bureau are Thunder Mining, Pachon Copper, and Andes Tobacco Company. These three behemoths have also been completely stripped out, and a group of parasites have been purged.

Standing at the entrance of the Securities Building, Saint-Hesse, as the host, warmly received the powerful figures from all sides.

The new president also sent his confidants, as well as the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Central Bank of Argentina, and a group of military and local powerful figures.

These powerful figures are basically in their golden age of forty or fifty years old, but most of them are out of shape.

These people standing there are the kind who hold great power. Often an order can affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, or even the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

The protagonists who came to the stock exchange to ring the bell today seemed quite uncomfortable. Most of these people were young business talents, who seemed a little excited and nervous.

The oldest of them was no more than 40 years old, and most of them were in good shape. They were all well-dressed and had extraordinary temperament, but standing with Saint-Hesse and others, they seemed slightly inferior.

The current head of Blue Cloud Textile is Saint-Hesse's old subordinate, Lucien Miller. He stood on the periphery of the crowd, with a high nose bridge, giving people a feeling of being in control and quite eye-catching.

Back then, Lucien was the number one salesman in the domestic sales department of Prairie Foods, alongside Little Knicks Schmidt of the international department, making them the most formidable salesmen. This was also one of his greatest achievements at Prairie Foods.

Later, he was in charge of the Cohen Brothers Company, the largest human resource reserve machine. After it was merged into Blue Cloud Textile, he became the director of the largest Saint Martin Textile Factory, managing the dispatch of more than 4,000 people, becoming Blue Cloud Textile's cash cow. Now, he is responsible for the operation of the entire Blue Cloud Textile Corporation.

Prairie Food Factory was Saint Hesser's earliest factory, where a large number of talents were trained. Many of them became Saint Hesser's confidants. The first factory director, Cross Hasson, is now the mayor of Saint Martin City.

Today, a total of 10 companies are listed for trading. Only Blue Cloud Textile shares under Saint Hesser's banner have passed the listing review. He gave the opportunity to other new companies, also hoping to bring out a group of leading companies.

Compared to five years ago, Saint Hesser has become more mature and reserved, mature and steady.

The mayor of Blanca City is the focus of everyone's attention this time. His movements exude a sense of gravity and composure, and his aura is not inferior to those powerful figures in their forties and fifties.

After speaking at the Presidential Palace, the Central Bank of Argentina, the Ministry of Finance, and the La Pampa Provincial Government, it was Saint Hesser's turn to speak.

With a serious face, he was responsible for giving a speech at the opening ceremony, and the noisy crowd quickly quieted down.

"Today, the Argentina National Stock Exchange is officially established. This represents the further development of our country's financial market... Finance is the core of the modern economy, and the capital market is an important engine for the economic development of Blanca City..."

After Saint Hesser finished his speech, there was a huge round of applause.

The entire city of Blanca was also plunged into an ocean of joy.

Fireworks produced by Maya Chemical will be released in the main urban areas of the city, from 9 am to 3 pm, and a fireworks display will be held in the evening.

The Argentina National Stock Exchange also officially opened at 9:30 am, and trading began on the spot, ending at 3 pm, with closures on holidays, the standard Western Hemisphere stock trading hours.

The Argentina Stock Exchange introduced the trading system of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as a batch of equipment from the United States, and personnel to maintain the equipment, and a group of Sequoia Investment Bank personnel are responsible for optimizing the workflow of the exchange.

Saint Martin Avenue in the western district of Blanca City is crowded with people everywhere.

The opening of the stock exchange is a very important event for the citizens of Blanca City.

000001-000010 stock codes, each industry has preferred joint-stock companies, which also started Blanca City's gold rush in the financial market.

Buno Electronics, its stock price rose by 2 times in the morning, and its market value reached 12.9 million US dollars, Blue Cloud Textile rose by 3 times, reaching 17.7 million US dollars...

The issued shares were almost instantly snapped up. The stock exchange did not set a limit on the increase on the first day, which also increased the hype of the securities firms.

The market value of the 10 newly listed companies, the first 7 have already been ranked among the top 100 listed companies in Argentina.

The feast of wealth has begun, and all stocks have risen sharply today.

Giving people a strong wealth stimulus.

The propaganda machine quickly spread to all parts of the country, with newspapers and radio stations being the main media.

The feast of the capital market has begun.

The Buenos Aires Stock Exchange was also stimulated by this, and many stocks rose a lot, but the overall decline is still the mainstream.

The Buenos Aires Stock Exchange has almost been falling for two or three years, and a large amount of wealth has turned into bubbles.

It has been falling steadily.

The securities market has invigorated enterprises and the economy.

The 10 companies raised funds from the capital market, which can be invested in production and research and development to develop enterprises, which is a win-win situation.

... This opening of the Argentina National Stock Exchange marks that Blanca City's position is no less than Cordoba and Rosario, La Plata, and is infinitely close to Buenos Aires.

This time, Saint Hesser has established good relations with the Presidential Palace and other local powerful figures, and the debut of the stock exchange can also attract a large number of local powerful figures to set up new companies in Blanca City.

Saint Hesser and senior officials from Lata consulted again and negotiated a lot of follow-up matters. He plans to step down and move the Lata family to Blanca City completely, and also rely on the help of Saint Hesser, the local snake, so the two are very happy now.

The situation in La Pampa is not complicated now, but there are also many frictions between the original La Pampa faction and the Blanca faction led by Saint Hesser. With the expansion of Blanca City, and guiding the development of Santa Rosa City, and relocating the provincial capital.

La Pampa Province and Blanca City have begun to completely integrate, which is a good thing for both sides. Blanca City needs an economic hinterland, and La Pampa Province needs a seaport and a strong economic core.

The economic development this year has been rapid. In addition to Blanca City, other cities have also made great progress, and have almost become the only province in Argentina to achieve positive growth, and the amount of growth is very huge.

Many local powerful figures also have the purpose of inspecting the economy of Blanca City. Argentina is rich in products, and many local products cannot be exported very well. Blanca City has broken the iron plate of the Argentine Ministry of Commerce and enjoys the rights of a free port and free export.

Everyone wants to earn more, and local powerful figures are no exception. There was no chance before, but now the opportunity has come.

Moreover, the listing of the stock exchange is also very crazy. In the afternoon, it rose a lot again. Saint Hesser's paper wealth increased by 20 million US dollars in one day. Several listed companies are related to him and have investments.

Therefore, outside the stock exchange, Blanca City sent the most elite investment promotion department to connect with the subordinates of the big shots. Saint Hesser held a victory dance party and invited the big shots to participate.
