The banquet came to an end. As the host of the banquet, Grandin undoubtedly took the limelight. Most of the conversation at the banquet revolved around him.

Morgan and Mrs. Celine, who had been in contact with Grandin, were surrounded by ladies and went to the garden under the umbrella to chat. They found that a mistress was missing from the house.

The gentlemen sat in the drawing-room, starting with the weather in Beckland and gradually chatting about the filthy struggles among the councillors. If you are not interested in politics, go to the table next to you and start playing cards.

Grandin was surrounded by them, and he sat on the one-man sofa with his feet crossed.

Gathered around the coffee table were two doctors, a factory owner, an architect and a barrister.

These people are the so-called middle class.

He held his teacup and only occasionally responded to a topic of interest.

During the conversation, he turned on his vision and observed the gentlemen one by one.

"Both doctors are in good health. The red light on the architect's hands and waist was slightly dim, and he looked a little overtired. The barrister's head was blue, perhaps thinking about how to develop me into his client. ”

Grandin turned off his vision and concluded in his mind.

Factory owners don't need to use vision. He shook his legs like he had a brazier under his feet, and he often wandered in conversation, and his restlessness was palpable.

"It seems that the workers' strike movement has caused him a lot of trouble, and this may be a breakthrough."

Grandin saw it all, and he remembered what he had seen in the streets, the growing processions.

In order to develop rapidly, entrepreneurs often mortgage their properties to banks. Use the loan to open a new factory, expand production, and earn more profits.

Normally, their assets will snowball. But if the capital chain is broken......

"Thank you for having me, Mr. Grandin. I have to say that it was really a wonderful banquet, I heard that you are an investment manager? Is every investment manager as rich as you? ”

After going around in circles for a long time, Arthur, the owner of the factory, finally couldn't help himself and began to inquire into the details of Grandin.

The others also perked up and showed expressions of interest.

"Haha, how is that possible. The investment advisors I know are elite in the industry if they can earn 4 or 500 gold pounds a year...... Even the well-known Mr. Charles heard that investing has both profits and losses. ”

The pot-bellied man patted Arthur on the shoulder and explained for Grandin. He is a dentist with a relatively regular income, and he is also interested in investing.

The doctor stared at Grandin with great eagerness, "And Mr. Grandin spent half a year's income on a banquet...... The gentleman must have a special investment skill, right? ”

After saying this, the men who were playing cards around also turned their heads to look at Grandin.

Grandin leaned forward slightly, his fingers crossed in front of him. He spoke calmly in the eyes of everyone:

"Ordinary investments certainly don't pay off so well. But there is a huge opportunity in the emerging stock market right now, as long as there is ......"

Grandin sold a pass.

"You have connections and news!"

Lawyer Henrik, who had always kept his mind rational, spoke.

He is Mrs. Morgan's husband, and he has worked with many financial investors. He found that in the financial industry, while competence is important, the most important thing is to have connections and inside information.

This Mr. Grandin clearly has both.

He used honorifics in his conversation, for his wife had told him earlier that Mr. Grandin was a nobleman.

This is an opportunity for him, and getting into a relationship with this gentleman will undoubtedly take his career to the next level.

Among the gentlemen present, there were also a few who recognized Grandin's identity from the chefs who served the nobles and the heraldic decorations on the plates.

But no one said it.

Grandin took a sip of tea, felt the aroma that lingered on the tip of his nose, and directly admitted:

"That's right, because of who I am, I often get first-hand information."

There is no crime of insider trading in Rune's laws. So it's legal to rely on your own identity to get the news, and Grandin has already confirmed this.

The eyes around him were in awe.

Even the most sluggish guest understands the difference in Grandin's identity.

"Sir! Can I entrust you to help me with my investment? Arthur asked eagerly.

The atmosphere began to heat up.

Grandin said unhurriedly:

"As an investment manager, I don't seem to have a reason to say no. But I have two conditions. First, I don't need a layman to point fingers. In other words, you have no right to ask about my investment methods. Second, you only have a fixed percentage of the income, and the rest is my payment. ”

It's more like a private equity fund.

Grandin glanced around and saw that there was no objection, and then continued:

"In return, I promise to pay rigidly and never let your investment lose money!"

Arthur seems to only think about the return on investment, "How much does Mr. Grandin guarantee that we will get?" ”

"Five percent, five percent per week, and return of principal."

This is Grandin's answer.

It was like someone had lit a fire in the living room.

Grandin continued on his own lines, "In the first installment, I will raise 2,000 gold pounds. This is my Beckland bank account, and if you want to invest, you can send money directly to this account.

Gentlemen, if you still have your wife behind your back and a small vault, you can also send money to this anonymous account. ”

He took out his business card and wrote the two account numbers on the back.

Bearer accounts do not record account holders or depositors, which makes it quite popular on the black market. Grandin is implying that he also accepts other people's gray income.

"Then I'll invest 1,000 gold pounds first!" Arthur did not hesitate and became the lead investor.

He thought very clearly, the gentleman who ate hundreds of gold pounds in one meal probably didn't look down on his savings. Even if he really ran away with the money, he still had this house as collateral.

No one needed to remind them, and the other gentlemen quickly figured it out, so they followed up one after another.

The living room became a temporary office, where the power of attorney was drafted, the vote was applied, and everything was in order.

The first step of the Grandin scam has been successful.

In the living room, where everyone cheered and was furious, he was the only one who was as calm as ever, and this was the script he wrote. He is both a screenwriter and a starring actor; He is both a victim and an abuser; It's both tragedy and comedy.

But he knew that this absurd revenge drama would not stop until Charles entered the game or his 7,000 gold pounds deposit was exhausted.

"It's just that I didn't expect that after I crossed over, I would actually have to contribute to the improvement of Rune's criminal law...... Perhaps the criminal route is more suitable for you.

Alas, I hope the goddess will forgive me. ”

Grandin connected the dots on his chest, sincerely hoping to be forgiven by the goddess.

"Praise be to the goddess of the night."

The other gentlemen looked at each other, and then—

In the living room, no matter which god they had worshiped before, they could only hear one kind of praise now.

"Praise be to the goddess of the night!"
