"I'm not going to talk about anything with someone who cheated on me." Viola switched to German and said to the middle-aged gentleman categorically.

"Actually, I've been trying to remind you that I know Latin, but I just couldn't find a chance to interject."

"I don't want to listen to your excuses." Viola twisted her face.

But the middle-aged gentleman did not seem to have given up, and he took out a file bag from his handbag, unbuttoned it, and continued: "As you can see, I am just an ordinary office clerk, and in the words of the bearded theorist, I belong to the middle class, or the urban petty bourgeoisie, and so on. But where I work happens to be the two futures exchanges I just mentioned. I was a senior clerk at the München Futures Exchange, and I was on holiday in Leipzig, but a telegram from the exchange urged me to go back to work. ”

When he said this, the middle-aged gentleman who claimed to be a clerk looked at Lin Youde from time to time, and it seemed that he had decided that Lin Youde had the ability to influence the young lady next to him, "There are quite a lot of marks".

Lin Youde didn't speak, and when he continued, Viola continued to look at the trees that kept passing by outside the window, looking like "I'll leave it to you to deal with".

"This gentleman, as a senior clerk at a futures exchange, I think there is a very good investment option in this situation, and that is to invest in gold. As you can already see, the depreciation of the mark is almost a foregone conclusion, and there will definitely be a wave of exchanging the mark for gold in the future, and gold futures will definitely rise due to it. Even better, there are certainly not a few people who can figure this out, and after the initial chaos, gold futures will be a lifesaver for investors, and the price of gold futures will continue to rise. ”

"However, in order to cope with the sudden financial pressure, the next thing the empire should announce is the end of the gold standard of the mark." Lin Youde glared at the middle-aged gentleman with the sharpest gaze possible, "Then those guys who are long gold will all accompany them." ”

"That's right, but just sell the buy contract before the Imperial government announces the end of the gold standard, or some other action with similar effects." As he spoke, the middle-aged man finally opened the file bag in his hand, he took out a stack of documents from it, and shook it at Lin Youde, "I have a contract here to buy Mexican gold that expires in January next year, which I commissioned by the customer before I got off work last Friday, and now maybe he has repented and wants to take this contract back from me, but now, this contract is in my hands, and the power of attorney he entrusted me to make is also here, and I can transfer the contract to someone else at any time before I return to the exchange to see him." ”

Lin Youde frowned, he glanced at Viola and found that the girl was still looking out the window.

Lin Youde decided to read the content of the contract first, so he reached out and took the contract. It was a gold futures contract with a large amount, and the amount on it made Lin Youde involuntarily worry about whether Viola could afford it, and at this time, Viola's voice penetrated into Lin Youde's ears: "If you have this amount, it's barely a problem." ”

Lin Youde turned his head to look at Viola's gaze, the girl looked at Lin Youde, and said word by word: "I don't understand this, so I leave it to you to deal with." ”

"You don't have some accounting or something......

"You mean they're more capable than you? Is that what I mean by firing you? ”

The middle-aged gentleman sitting opposite let out a hearty laugh, which made Lin Youde a little unhappy, so he said in an embarrassed tone: "We are very interested in this, but as you just overheard, most of our marks may have been exchanged for gold." ”

Lin Youde deliberately bit the accent on the word "eavesdropping".

The middle-aged gentleman shook his head with a smile: "You can rest assured of this, I don't think the banks in Munich have so much gold in reserve." In addition, I think the price of gold on the exchange today is lower than on Friday, because most people have not yet reacted, and even more, some people who have lost too much will hysterically sell all the futures contracts in their hands to withdraw their funds, which will lead to the fall of gold futures. ”

"But the person you just said about entrusting the contract to you may be regretting it now."

"That's because I've known him for a long time, and I know that he has the foresight to see the future of gold prices rise."

After the middle-aged gentleman finished speaking, Lin Youde bit his lip.

He used his pitiful futures knowledge to re-examine the conversation just now, and found no logical problems, if he was deceived, he could only blame him Lin Youde for his poor learning.

Lin Youde silently recited in his heart, "Lao Tzu's Introduction to Finance has scored eighty-five points", and then clapped the decision: "Deal, we will send a telegram to the next station to ask them to stop exchanging the mark for gold, and prepare the procedures required for the transaction." ”

"Then it's better to let the lady's servant go to the Munich Stock Exchange to see the latest gold price, and then prepare a place for me to complete the new contract......"

"The office at Munich train station will have everything you need." Viola spoke again, "Although my servant accepted your advice, I still have to say that I don't like you. ”

"That's a pity." The middle-aged gentleman replied disapprerovingly, looking no regret at all.

**

After arriving in Munich, Lin Youde learned what it means to be a German worker, and Viola's entourage, who had never officially appeared in front of Lin Youde, not only borrowed the clerk's office at the Munich train station, but also went to the Munich Futures Exchange to bring all the personnel necessary to complete a standard futures contract transfer process.

After everything was done, Lin Youde and Viola got on the bus back to the international student dormitory.

In the car, Lin Youde said to Viola: "You are making such a big move, I really doubt that you still want to keep your identity as a god." ”

"In your Ming Empire—no, in your China, wouldn't the officials and nobles be so convenient for themselves?" Viola asked curiously.

"Well, yes, yes, but not so ostentatiously...... In our country, we have always paid attention to making a lot of money in a muffled voice......" Lin Youde himself was shaken first, because he suddenly remembered those ancient rich people who showed off their wealth on Weibo, how much red silk should be prepared when going out, how many candlesticks should be ordered in the house, and I don't know if the road is true.

Viola glanced at Lin Youde.

"In Europe, it's normal for young ladies and young masters of aristocratic families to be willful to this extent, let alone those nouveau riche, so don't worry."

Lin Youde let out an "oh", then turned his head to look out the window.

I don't know if it's a psychological illusion, Lin Youde always feels that there are fewer pedestrians on the street outside the window than a few days ago, and even the street exudes a sluggish atmosphere.

The country is heading for an iceberg known as the Great Depression, and his manipulators are completely unaware that the iceberg is just around the corner.

At this time, Viola said coldly: "Now all my possessions are gambling on your judgment. ”

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to have that many Marks." Lin Youde said frankly, "I always feel that your shot doesn't look like an abandoned princess who has been hidden in the snow." ”

"I'm also a god, and the living expenses allocated to me by the empire every year are not small, but my living expenses are much less than those of other gods, because I don't hire a large group of servants, I don't order several dresses every month, and I don't hold all kinds of expensive drinking parties and balls, so I save that money little by little."

"They didn't get the money back......"

"The Imperial Government is much more generous than you might think." Viola paused, forcing the subject back to the original direction, "Anyway, those are all my belongings, in case your judgment is wrong, I will have to report to the Imperial Treasury like a beggar." When the time comes, I will turn you into fertilizer in the Black Forest, no matter what your origins are. ”

Lin Youde really wanted to tell this little German girl that if the same threat was used many times, the effect would be minimal. But what he wanted to say turned out to be like this: "Don't worry, I'll be very careful to monitor the situation in the country." ”

"I'll also ask someone in the palace who can speak to give us a word in advance."

"That's right," Lin Youde grinned at Viola, "it's not necessary, because I only plan to withdraw with a small profit, because if we wait until the news comes down and then withdraw, we may not have time to exchange the mark for gold, the clerk of that exchange is right, Munich doesn't have that much gold at all, and your entourage will have to go to other cities to change it, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth." ”

Viola nodded, and then she yawned long without warning, tears squeezing out of the corners of her pretty eyes.

"Sleepy?"

"Hmm." Viola nodded frankly, "Yesterday's pillow wasn't too comfortable. ”

Wasn't yesterday's pillow his Lin Youde's shoulder! If you are dissatisfied, don't pillow yourself!

"It seems that I can only continue to listen to the story of Journey to the West tomorrow."

That's what you care about!

At this moment, the speed slowed down significantly and finally stopped.

Out of the car window, you can clearly see the main entrance of the International Student Mansion, which Lin Youde is already familiar with.

When she got out of the car, Viola was already a little swaying, and it seemed that she was really sleepy, Lin Youde took Viola's hand and led her into the door of the mansion and went up to the second floor.

Lin Guokai opened the door to the living room on the second floor at this time, and appeared in front of Lin Youde.

"Sure enough, it's you, let me tell you, something big has happened in the past two days."

"You forgot to ask me for a leave of absence from school?" Lin Youde said half-jokingly.

"No, I have, please." Saying that, Lin Guokai pulled Lin Youde, and whispered close to Lin Youde's ear, "After you left, a new tenant came here to ask to move in, and the doorman downstairs didn't know if Lu Dao was bought or what, so he let him move in." ”

"Doorman?" Lin Youde glanced at Viola, who was already a little rice paste beside him.

"Have you forgotten? The landlady has always entrusted the check-in, rent, and other trivial tasks to the doorman......"

At this time, Viola yawned and asked, "Isn't it over yet?" I want to go to sleep......"

"It's over, it's over." Lin Guokai said to Viola repeatedly, and then glanced at Lin Youde, "Forget it, you will know what's going on when you go back to the room." ”

"Oh."

Lin Youde was about to leave, but was dragged by Lin Guokai's shoulder.

"Dezi," Lin Guokai looked at Lin Youde with a very basic gaze, "If something happens, it's called, the brothers are all here." ”

Lin Youde felt a little inexplicable, but still nodded. At this time, he suddenly remembered something: when he told Lin Guokai the story of Journey to the West to Viola before, Lin Guokai obviously knew this, which contradicted what Viola said.

So Lin Youde asked: "Guokai, do you know the Journey to the West?" ”

"Of course, storytelling, who hasn't heard it when I was a child."

Lin Youde thought badly, when he coaxed Viola before, he said, "Only you can listen to this story in all Europe", and now it seems that there may be other girls who can hear it from other Chinese.

Lin Guokai asked rhetorically: "Why did you suddenly mention this?" ”

Asked casually. Also, are you sure there are no novels? ”

Lin Guokai looked at Lin Youde with a strange expression: "What novel?" ”

"No, nothing, don't mind." Lin Youde waved his hand and pulled Viola upstairs.
