Now that Arabi can buy high heels, he buys a pair of high heels for his family, himself, his wife, and several children.

When Bharigu first planned Dima, Dima was still very clean, but as the population grew, many of Dima's streets began to become dirty, and for citizens like Arabi, although they did not have to live in the dirty streets, they would inevitably walk through it occasionally.

For the more affluent burghers and even the aristocracy, they would ride in a carriage to avoid mud on their boots, but Arabi did not have the financial resources, and he had become richer in recent years, but he could not afford a carriage for long, so he had to compromise and buy high heels.

High heels are a new type of boots that only appeared a few years ago, and they have swept the citizens of various cities at an unimaginable speed, because high heels reduce contact with the ground, so they can avoid mud to the greatest extent, and for a while those pretentious citizens have bought them to show that they don't need to sweat to make money.

It's understandable why Arabi was so happy when he bought high heels, but the happy times were always short-lived, and by the year 2498, Arabi found that his earnings were actually falling! Although the last month was a slow decline with almost no visible curve, it was already very alarming.

The fat colleague has a timid personality, and when he saw this, he immediately stopped regardless of how Arabi persuaded him, took the money he earned in the past two years to open a shop, and lived a normal life again.

But the fat colleague has a lot to do with his family, although he also invited Arabi to work under him, but in this way, Alabi, who used to be an equal and even a little leader, wants to give this fat colleague a low brow, how can Arabi accept this contrast?

By the second month, the amount of earnings will not be a slight curve, but a noticeable decline, and it is likely that in a few months, the badge will return to its proper price.

The wife persuaded Arabi to get a job, so at first Arabi really went to look for it—not to the fat colleague, who was paid more, but Arabi couldn't pull his face—just went to a casual house.

But within a few days, Arabi received the repatriation pay and resigned, because Arabi couldn't bear it! In the past, when he was buying and selling badges, he only had to spend money on errands every day, doing the work that only elegant citizens used to do, but now Arabi has fallen back to his original class.

Therefore, Alabi, who has been accustomed to a lavish life for the past two years, resigned within a few days and returned to the badge market, but the recession of the badge market is indeed an objective and hard factor, so what can be done? Alabi can only use alcohol to kill his sorrows.

On this day, just as Arabi was sighing at the tavern as he had done recently, a stranger who had a slight contact with him in the badge business came up to him and asked him in a low voice if he would like to improve his badge business.

After Arabi was interested, the man called Arabi upstairs and explained to Arabi what "refinement" business was.

It's been more than 1 year, and 200,000 badges have actually been sold long ago, but since the badge market is so hot, there are naturally people trying to make profits from it, and there is a big guy on this person who can forge badges and continue to put badges into the market, which is also to grasp the ignorance of people at the bottom who don't know how many badges have been sold.

This proposal made Arabi's heart skip a beat, and in the past, he could only say that he used people's preferences to make a little money to make a living, but if he participated in the forgery of badges, this was not a small crime! Although Arabi was not proficient in the law and did not understand what it should be, it was not a good word when it came to the word "forgery."

But thinking of the two months of life, the wonderful life of the past two years, and the hard work he would have to do if he refused the invitation of the man in front of him, Arabi finally made up his mind to participate in the plan.

So soon in April, the badge market began to pick up again due to the influx of new, counterfeit badges, so Arabi returned to the life of the past two years, and there are signs of surpassing, because this time the badge market is different from the last time, and this time the price increase is a little scary.

And in June, the "big brother" who brought Arabi into the market also took Arabi to visit a black market, a "black market" that is even darker than the badge market, that is, the "badge futures market".

"It's not easy to buy and sell this badge, right, sometimes you can't wait to cause the transaction to fail? ”

"But even futures are a few months away, what if someone defaults?" Arabi asked during the visit, only to get a disdainful smile from the "big brother".

"I'm above the big guy who dares to create the 'Independence Badge', although their name can't be said, but who dares to forge the badge? Hehe, believe it or not, the next day will be on the streets!"

In August, when Alabi sold a badge, he learned that the buyer was not interested in the badge at all, but he was also involved in the turmoil, and he mortgaged his family's mill and real estate to scrape together money to buy the badge.

Long before he got the money from him, Arabi had already used his own funds to go to the futures market to buy a certificate paper that symbolized the badge, and with this paper, he could wait to receive the badge, and then give the badge to the person, who would then find another buyer to sell it for a higher price.

After another month, Arabi saw his fat colleague again, it turned out that he saw that the badge was warm again, and he didn't want to continue to work hard in business, so he sold the workshop again, and then asked Alabi to continue to pull himself into the gang with a shy face.

In October, Arabi woke up from a nightmare in which he dreamed that he was going back to his childhood and playing with his long-forgotten neighbors a game invented by Borigu for children, called "Drumming and Passing Flowers", except that with the vibration of the drums, the flowers turned into badges, and then heavier and heavier.

After being frightened from the dream, Arabi felt panicked, wanted to stop but was reluctant to pay now, and after thinking about it again, he began to contact his people in a foreign country, and sent many of his savings, his wife and children to his hometown, while he continued to observe Dima for a while.

Siber was ordered to divide the family, and the requirements for the countryside and the nobility were not very strict, but it was quite strict for the citizens, and it was okay not to separate the family, and more poll taxes needed to be paid.

And with Dima's conquest of Siber, Dimane's personnel mobility was very drastic, and Arabi was attracted by Siber's dream, plus he was a young son, so he poured into Dima like many contemporaries, and was lucky to climb the high branch of his father-in-law, so he gained a firm foothold in Dima, although it was still high or low compared to the burghers.

By the year 2499, the so-called illegal "futures market" had become a semi-public market, known to almost all Dima, and the city guards pretended not to see it, on the grounds that there was no law restricting or prohibiting it.

In January, there was good news that brought the already hot badge market to the next level, that is, the authorities realized that there were far more than 200,000 badges in circulation in the market, and they would review and look back at the overissued badges.

Then there were some contradictory news, such as that the authorities were recycling for free, some saying that the authorities were recycling at market prices, and so on, and these confusing messages made the price of the badge higher and higher until that day.

Al-Arabi always remembered that it was a Friday, and although history later proved that it was a sunny day, many people at the time swore that it was a very gloomy and cloudy day, with a bitter cold wind, as if they were playing for the tragedy to come.

At that time, Arabi was reselling badges on the exchange as usual, but strangely, there were very few transactions in one morning, in fact, it is understandable that the price of badges was already very high at this time, so high that some people were sober enough to start reflecting.

As a result, a newcomer to this industry panicked, and he immediately sold all the badges in his hand, even if some badges were a loss-making deal.

This person's sell-off panicked a little, and several other people also sold their badges, but at this time it was only a slight drizzle, and there were not many people, until a heavyweight person panicked, and that was Arabi.

As the first person to do this business, Arabi is a rising star in the eyes of many people, a guide to the road, but now the guide is panicking, who else is not panicking?

So Arabi's move caused great panic among the onlookers, who thought that Arabi might have gotten some inside information, and they followed suit, and the market collapsed, and sellers crowded with people, scrambling to sell the badges at unbelievably low prices, and then fled home, either behind closed doors, or packed up.

Dima now has many futures markets, Alabi is just one of them, and nothing like this happened in other markets, so I didn't know what was going on and ate the badge futures sold by Alabi Market.

As a result, in the evening, when some of the sellers counted the badges they had obtained yesterday, they realized that something was not quite right, and one of them was also frightened, and he heard about the strange things about Arabi, so the next day, he sold all the badges he had saved in one go, including the ones he ate yesterday.

At first, others laughed at him for being a fool and ate the badges, but because there were too many badges sold yesterday, the price suddenly began to fall irretrievably after a brief rise, falling back to the price it should have.

In the past three years, Dima has relied on the "badge" to make a group of people, including Alabi, quickly become rich, giving a guiding light to those citizens who have few opportunities to get ahead, and their sudden wealth has also driven Dima consumption, so that Dima has entered a period of deformed prosperity, until today.

In the past, when badges were prosperous, many people mortgaged their houses and real estate to buy badges, but now the price of badges has plummeted, resulting in them being unable to repay the loans.

At this point, the avalanche began, first the badge dealers, then some civilians involved in the badge market, and then many money lenders, and the "Independence badge bubble" burst.
