Chapter 169: The Scythe Bearer
Lin's voice announcing the start of the auction soon came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a promotional video - the whale oil exchange also specially asked an advertising company to make a promotional video in order to auction off the beluga whale.
After the trailer ended, Lin's voice sounded again, and she began to introduce the details of the beluga whale, including its length, weight, physical integrity, the specifics of the restoration and embalming work, and what makes the beluga whale special compared to other whales......
Unlike whale oil, the beluga whale is an unprecedented auction item that must be presented in detail so that bidders can accurately assess its value.
But Summer Night didn't care about that, she still curled up on the couch, reading the gossip about herself with great interest.
The crystal ball shook suddenly.
A message popped up on the screen - it was a transfer from Yaha.
The amount is 8250 moles.
Transfer postscript: 55000*15%
It seems that the whale oil and whale skin of the ordinary whale harvested last time out of sea have also been traded, and the transaction price is a little higher than originally expected.
And this does not include the price of 16 wingbones (originally 24 pairs, 8 pairs were used when the first mate summoned the "Bone King"), according to the previous agreement, Yaha kept them and waited for Summer Night to buy them himself.
Summer Night pressed the receive.
The mana of 8500 Morles flows down the Mol Net into the Crystal Ball, and since the Crystal Balls do not have the function of storing Mol for a long time, they flow directly into the cup of the summer night.
The 1,000 moles overdrawn by the water army a few days ago were paid off in an instant, and the remaining 7,500 moles became the upper limit of the bond issuance amount, and disappeared without a trace in the cup.
Summer Night raised her wrist, and the number on it had become: 0,93230,0
This means that now she can at most integrate into 93230 Mor by issuing bonds.
That's a little more than she had expected. However, she is not ready to use up her quota.
More bonds are not always better, after all, the more you issue, the more interest you have to pay when you repay them, and there are other factors that she needs to consider.
In her experience, when faced with a new thing, people always like to go to extremes - from being ignored at the beginning, to accepting it, and then often fanatically pursuing it.
A bond is a type of security. And the frantically sought after securities will almost certainly deviate from their original value, and bubbles will be created when people buy bonds no longer for coupons, but to sell them to the next person at a higher price.
In an immature market, once a bubble is created, it is difficult to control, it will spread and expand at a rapid rate, until it crosses the tipping point, and then bursts.
At that time, except for those who are in control of the game, only a very small number of lucky people will be spared, and the vast majority of people will be harvested like wheat and eventually face bankruptcy.
And in this world, bankruptcy means de jure death.
This is a development that can be foreseen on a summer night, even before the bond is issued.
But the good thing is that she is a kind witch.
Therefore, not only did she control the size of the initial release, but she was also prepared for the bubble to burst—since she was a scythe bearer, she had the right to choose the direction of the blade harvest.
"This time, it's only 60,000 moles. 300 large bonds with a face value of 100 moles, 3,000 small bonds with a face value of 10 moles, the name is called 'the first beluga bond in December on a summer night', referred to as '12 Moby Dick 01', with a term of 3 months and an annualized coupon rate of 40% ......"
The girl curled her legs and nestled on the couch like a cat, whispering to herself as she quickly filled in the information needed to generate the bonds.
The financial weapons that would affect Debsota for months, if not longer, were thus made in this way with an understatement.
The Moby Dick auction outside is also over.
After a while, a sweaty Lin walked into the backstage room.
"How?" Summer Night asked with a smile.
"It's okay, there is no basket at all." Lin Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Although many people were a little surprised by the final announcement of the unannounced mode, fortunately, it did not affect everyone's enthusiasm, and the number of people participating in the bidding was more than we expected...... I guess it's because I can't see the price, so I'll quote a price and try my luck. ”
"So how many people ended up bidding?"
"The exact number is still being counted by my assistants, and it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 1,000 people."
"So much?!"
"Yes, so the auction results will not be announced until tomorrow, and as for confirming the transaction, it is estimated that the day after tomorrow." Although Lin seemed to be complaining in his words, he couldn't hide the excited expression on his face.
A large number of bidders means a high transaction price, and a high transaction price means a high commission, coupled with the popularity gathered by the auction, she seems to have seen a bright future.
The summer night was a little depressing.
There are 1,000 people on the list...... Probably more than that. This number has far exceeded her expectations, even if she gets this list afterwards, if she wants to screen out the person she wants to look for, the difficulty is not to mention finding a needle in a haystack, at least it is a titanic in a haystack......
"Miss Summer Night, it's time for you to play~" Lin reminded on the side. She had just accomplished a big thing, and she even spoke a lot lighter.
"Hmm."
Summer Night lowered her legs from the cushions, bent down and put her small leather shoes with round toes and square heels on the small soles of her feet.
"Oh, yes......"
Before going out, she seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Ms. Lin, as a thank you for your support, please remember what I said next." ”
"Huh?"
"In the next 3 months, if ...... I mean, if you buy a 'Moby Dick bond', a bond with a coupon of 100 moles, sell it as soon as the market price exceeds 110 more, and a bond with a coupon of 10 moles, sell it as soon as it exceeds 12 moles – please remember this sentence. ”
Lin's expression became more confused.
"Will the price of the two bonds exceed 110 and 11 more? I remember that the coupon is only 10%, right? She asked incredulously.
Summer Night didn't answer, just said, "Please remember it." ”
With that, he walked out of the room.
Outside the room, there was a long staircase that led to the auction table that was erected on the whale's back—what it should be called the podium. As I walked up the stairs on a summer night, I brewed the emotions in my heart.
Bonds are a powerful but unusually simple financial instrument, and if you compare it to a weapon, it is like a simple but sharp knife. The power of the knife depends on the user, some people can only use it to peel fruit, while others can use it to kill people.
Next, it's time to draw the knife out of its sheath.
Summer night on the podium, as many as 100,000 people appeared in front of her, the high "bowl wall" towering all around, forming an indescribable sense of oppression. But she was not afraid, on the contrary, she was excited, like a farmer who was expecting a good harvest when he saw a large field of ripe wheat.
She walked over to the microphone, and the noise around her quickly fell silent.
"The 'Beluga Whale Bond' issued a total of 60,000 moles, of which the large bonds with a face value of 100 magic and the small bonds with a coupon of 10 magic bonds account for half each, and the specific information of the bonds has been listed in detail on the screen above, so you can watch the ...... by yourself."
Summer Night pointed to the dome above, and then, with a smile:
"However, I believe that this is not the main concern of people. So, next, I'm going to answer some of the questions that you're more interested in......"
A pillar of red light fell from the dome and hit the podium.
"The questions are randomly selected, and whoever the light falls on can ask me any question."
Before the words fell, the discussion had exploded in the crowd, and everyone did not expect that the so-called bond issuance roadshow would start in such a way.
However, as Summer Night said, this method is obviously more interesting.
The red light disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already landed on one of the lucky people who was close to the front row.
The other party was stunned for a moment, until he saw Xia Ye's gesture, he reacted and flew out of the crowd on a broomstick.
"I'm a reporter from Million More Information...... Uh, trainee journalist ......"
Probably due to nervousness, the girl who asked the question stammered a little.
"I, my question is: Miss Summer Night, is the recent news about you on the Moer Internet true? Is there something that, uh, exaggerated, or untrue? ”
"It's true, it's completely true." Summer Night replied calmly.
After a short period of silence......
The scene was in an uproar.
