Chapter 64: But I studied economics as an undergraduate
"If that's the case, Dora, you can ask your children if the best investment option in this case is to invest in gold. Presumably smart people have seen that the depreciation of copper coins is almost a foregone conclusion, and there will definitely be a wave of exchanging copper coins for gold in the future, and gold futures will definitely rise due to its influence. Even better, there are certainly not a few people who can figure this out, after the initial chaos, gold futures will become a lifesaver for the aristocracy, and the price of gold futures will continue to rise.
However, in response to the sudden financial pressures, the kingdom's decision-makers should announce the end of the gold standard on copper coins. Gaia shook her head as she spoke, looking helpless, "And then those guys who deliberately go long on gold will all lose their money." ”
"That's right, but just sell the buy contract before the Chancellor of the Kingdom Chancellor announces the end of the gold standard, or takes any other action with similar effect." As she spoke, Dora finally opened the document bag in her hand, pulled out a stack of documents from it, and shook it at Gaia, "I have a contract here that is about to expire, and I bought a large amount of gold, which was entrusted by my friends of the dragon clan in front of me as half of the dragon clan, if the situation is true, maybe they have already repented and want to take this contract back from me." ”
As she spoke, a sly expression suddenly appeared on Dora's face: "However, now this contract is in my hands, and the power of attorney they entrusted me with is also here, and I can transfer the contract to others at any time before I see them again." ”
As she spoke, Dora continued to dispel Anrak's concerns with another sentence: "I don't think the banks of the three southern kingdoms have that much gold in their reserves. In addition, I think the price of gold in these days is lower than in the past, 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. ”
Glancing at the skull that was still smoking, Dora had bad intentions: "Anyway, I also have children who were almost captured by the human slave capture team, and I don't have much affection for humans, if the information is true, it is also in line with the blood of my dragon clan to be able to take the opportunity to earn some money." ”
"But the person you just said about entrusting the contract to you may be regretting it now."
"That's because the dragons are not stupid, their long lives give them enough foresight to foresee the future rise in the price of gold, it's really not good, I can guarantee it first."
After Dora said this, Gaia shrugged at Anrak, who was looking at him.
Gaia used his meagre knowledge of futures to re-examine the conversation he had just had, and found no logical problems, and if he was deceived, he could only blame himself for his lack of skill.
So Gaia silently recited in his heart, "Lao Tzu has seen so many financial introductions", and gave his own advice: "I think you can make a deal with Miss Dora, and when they complete their tasks, they will start to prepare the formalities required for the transaction." ”
"It's okay, I've got everything I need here." Anrak seemed to make up his mind, and spoke again, "But, despite this suggestion from Mr. Gaia, I would say that I don't like it in such an over-the-top way. ”
"That's a pity." Gaia shook her head in response, but she didn't really mean to regret it at all.
This kind of financial crisis is something made by human beings themselves, and the development to the point where it is actually self-inflicted, and Anrak takes the opportunity to make a profit, and when the hot springs are repaired later, he can help more people.
Especially after knowing Crow's identity, Gaia's unhappiness in his heart continued to rise.
Seriously recalling the recent morning spent in the Federation, I don't know if it was a psychological illusion, Penck always felt that there were fewer pedestrians on the streets outside the window than a few days ago, and even the streets exuded a sluggish atmosphere.
The Federation is heading for an iceberg known as the Great Depression, and its manipulators are completely unaware that the iceberg is just around the corner.
Then Dora said to Gaia, "Now all my possessions are on your judgment. ”
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to have that much gold to work with." Gaia also said in a humble manner, "I always feel that you don't look like an ordinary half-dragon man." ”
"I'm also a member of the Dragons, and the living expenses they allocate to me every year are not small, but my living expenses are much less than those of the other Dragonborn, 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 Dragon Elders are much more generous than you think." Dora paused, and forcibly pulled the subject back to the original direction, "Anyway, those are all my belongings, and if your judgment is wrong, Mr. Gaia, I will have to report to the Council of Elders like a beggar." I'll have to pay back the lost commission, and it's scary to think about, there aren't many people in the world who want to owe dragons and dwarves money. ”
Shrugging, Gaia didn't know what to say.
So, after looking around, Gaia decided to make a beef stew with potatoes or something like that to lighten the mood.
In fact, Gaia's cooking skills are not very good, and he stays in the stage of "knowing how to stir-fry", the most complicated dish that has been fried before crossing is the tomato scrambled eggs, and the most complicated thing that has been stewed is this potato stew.
Through the vague memories of the former Gaia, there is a buddy in the dormitory who runs a restaurant at home, and has the stunt of using an induction cooker and a matching pan to make authentic sauerkraut fish.
While complaining that he was billions of years old and had not yet gotten rid of his purity, he unfolded the cooking utensils, washed and cut the vegetables that resembled potatoes, and was about to stew them.
"Well, what are you going to do?" Dora asked in a skeptical tone, "Mr. Gaia, you want to cook?" ”
"That's right." Gaia nodded, "That bread is so unpalatable, so I'll do it myself." But my cooking skills are not good, so don't expect too much from the taste. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's better than brown bread." The tall Penk patted Gaia on the shoulder, picked up a piece of cured meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing, "To be honest, I've had enough of the kingdom's humans eating vegetables, and the vegetables they want to eat are salads and salads, they have eaten them for hundreds of years, and they haven't gotten tired of it, but Amazon has plenty of meat." ”
