The shares planned to be issued by 'Mondesny S.p.A.) were sold out within a week, and the shares rose from 1 dinar to 10 dinars each, but after the subscription ended, there were still aristocrats waving their wallets to buy them!

If it weren't for Li Ang's explanation, he would have received it after the subscription was completed, maybe the executives who were immersed in the pleasure of counting money would have been tempted to make another profit......

And the merchants of Changhe Town were even more enthusiastic, and they even followed Leslie all the way to Mai Xiangling, crying and shouting that they had to 'learn advanced experience'!

- They don't want to join the gold mining project, but they want to know more about this kind of corporate fundraising system, and these businessmen know that gold mining is such a thing as a thing that they can't get involved with as a civilian.

The merchants of Long River were indeed a little more sensitive to the new corporate behavior, and they were more aware of what this joint-stock company subscription meant.

They want to learn.

But Baron Godric couldn't talk to them—the old nobles generally didn't bother with the commoners.

So those merchants surrounded Leslie one by one, after all, Leslie had also done business in Changhe Town before, and she was considered their acquaintance.

Now that Leslie has become the 'general manager of a listed company', handling such a high-end project as a gold mine, the businessmen are naturally envious and jealous.

Leslie was tired of being harassed, the merchants were not leaving, and the scam could not be exposed......

Besides, she had only been in the lord's tent for four hours of private lessons...... Even if she could be exposed, she didn't actually have the ability to teach these businessmen.

And she was busy counting the money and didn't have time.

So Leslie said politely: "I'm just a professional manager who listens to the big boss's orders, and I don't know anything else." The legal person of our company is Klose, why don't you go to Klose and ask? ”

Leslie doesn't tell lies – the general manager of the company usually doesn't tell lies when he's out there.

But the merchants didn't dare deal with Klose, who was as fierce as an ox with a face and a flesh like an ox - the guy didn't have a good temper at first sight, and his arms were thicker than his waist, in case he got angry......

The merchants were really keen, and with what they knew about Lesley, it really didn't seem like the coconut wine merchant could figure it out.

Given that the listed company is based in Mak Heung Ling, the businessmen decided to settle for the next best thing.

"Miss Lesley, we know we can't do anything about the gold mines. We just want to meet the lord behind you, maybe we can cooperate in other business areas, can you see if you can introduce us...... Or, take us to Mai Xiangling to visit and learn......"

Of course, Leslie was noncommittal, and the lord did not specifically explain how to deal with the merchants who came to her door......

But as a qualified merchant herself, Leslie naturally knew that a large number of caravans would definitely be good for the territory - at least all the loot could be sold......

So Leslie said happily: "Everyone used to eat together in Changhe Town, so naturally we should support each other." Although I Leslie is soft-spoken, I am willing to do my best to introduce you...... But Lord Lord's busy, I'm not sure if you'll be able to get a satisfactory result......"

For businessmen, that's enough.

So a large number of merchants followed Leslie to Mai Xiangling......

Merchants are always like this, and once many big merchants go to a certain place to 'study and study', other merchants will follow with them—no matter what era, no matter where they are.

As a result, most of the merchants in Changhe Town followed, and the mighty expedition looked like a large army.

……

And what prompted Godric to end the fundraising and rush back to McXiangling was not only the completion of the subscription, but also another news.

"Leon, His Majesty has declared war on the Bacchus Empire. Get ready for war! ”

Although it was a full load, Godric's smile still carried some caution.

Declare war?

War with the Bacchus Empire?

"Hah! That's a good thing! Uncle Godric...... My lord, this is simply an explanation sent to the door! ”

Leon couldn't help but look at the wooden statue again.

Godric also saw the statue of Yunomia, and of course he understood what this 'confession' meant: "It seems that the goddess is protecting you...... But you also have to fight - this time, the marshal, His Majesty the King himself. ”

It's going to be war.

This is not a surprise.

After all, Godric had mentioned it before at Fort White Hart.

Perhaps the Baron of White Fort relied on experience, but Leon could also understand the reason for King Ulrik's declaration of war on a logical level......

The Lion Kingdom has just formed an alliance with Fieldsway, and the west is safe for the time being;

The Cato people have just withdrawn, and it is estimated that they will not come to the Lion Kingdom again this year, and the northeast is probably safe;

The Raven Kingdom has to deal with the Misty Mountain savages that may invade in winter, and the north is also safe;

That is, the rear of the kingdom is basically stable.

In addition, the autumn harvest has just begun, and the lords have just collected their taxes, so they are not short of money and salaries, and their military rations are sufficient.

This is certainly the best time to attack south—winters in the southern continent are not too cold, but summers can be scorching.

So south in winter and north in summer, this is the right way to attack the Lion Kingdom located in the center of the continent.

As an aspiring pioneer baron, it was only natural that Leon would join His Majesty's army.

But before preparing for the war, the lord needs to reasonably distribute the fruits of this 'financing' - simply divide the spoils.

The executives' trip to Changhe Town was very good.

The listing of the shares of the Mondsny Company brought back 120,000 dinars to the lordship......

It took Leslie ten large boxes to load them up, and they were divided into two wagons to pull them - or they could easily overturn.

According to the shares agreed in advance, plus a 'financing commission', Leon handed over two of the boxes to Baron Godric.

However, after sending the partner away satisfied, the lord felt that something seemed to be wrong.

He hugged the box again—it seemed to weigh not enough......

It stands to reason that such a box, 12,000 gold coins, should have almost 100 pounds, but he always felt that it was less than 80 pounds!

So all the golden coins were poured out and spread all over Leon's bedroom.

The lord decided to check the condition.

After the eyes were full of gold, the lord saw the difference.

Gold coins are indeed gold coins, and they look the same size, but the thick ones are thick, and the thin ones are thin - the thinnest ones are almost the same as razor blades, and you are worried about scratching your fingers if you play with them!

It seems that there are many 'carvers' in the Pande continent who pick gold from gold coins......
