Joseph saw everyone's attention converging on him and continued to say:
"The bank's total share capital is 10 million shares, each priced at 1 livre. For now, it will not be offered to the public."
Mono nodded with a smile:
"Since His Highness has invited us, we are certainly interested in taking a share. But I wonder how much the total investment for this bank will be?"
"Around 10 million livres."
Upon hearing this, the three men immediately seemed less enthusiastic. They thought they had spotted a profitable opportunity, but instead, they were being solicited for investment? With your empty-shell bank claiming an investment of 10 million, who knows how much will actually materialize? Wouldn't it be better to invest in an established discount bank with this money?
Robel, who was the least acquainted with Joseph and also the poorest among the three, said with a wry smile:
"Your Highness, as you know my situation, I'm afraid I won't have much money to invest..."
