Section 89 Decisions

That being said, but after Lyle left, Shirley didn't waste half a minute. She immediately rang a small bell, and a few minutes later several of her subordinates were in her office.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Shirley barely looked at her subordinates, and she ordered in an arrogant and cold tone. "It's time to let our secrets out of the way. By noon to-morrow, I will let every merchant in the city know about the drought in the province of Dautoria. I don't want to be vague and incomprehensible, but I want to tell them that if they don't understand the implications of this news - there will be a great reduction in fur production this year. Let's get all the information we have in this area out there. ”

"Also," Shirley continued, after a pause. "Be sure to mix the futures thing with this news, so that people understand that this is a good opportunity to make a profit!"

After keeping the cards for so long, it's time to play them. Watching her subordinates leave, Shirley thought in her heart that this news was not a lie, in fact, many people might have vaguely heard about the drought in the next province. The news is sure to go viral in a short period of time, and all those who are interested in business investment will understand that this is an opportunity.

Although I don't dare to say that this blow will be the end of the matter, at least it can make the money that Ashrufat threw down this afternoon invisible. And with the spread of the news, not to mention the city of Brasian, even Walloon City will have some funds to join in the fun. How much money do you have to squander, Ishrufat?

Based on the available information, it is now certain that the amount of money that Ashrufat has invested in this bottomless pit is about 80,000 gold ori. Although the hapless little clerk was transferred, it didn't matter. Because after the news of the drought, no one would bet on the falling price of furs - except for Ishrufat. Because he is already in a deep quagmire, and it is difficult to get out. In other words, as long as the price of fur futures falls, nine out of ten is because Ishrufat has invested another amount of money.

I don't know why, but the expression on Ashrufat's face when he said goodbye resurfaced in front of her eyes. That's not at all the look that a person who knows what he's trying to do. That look can only be explained by two things: either he is a madman or he is a superman. But looking through all kinds of information related to him, the former does not seem to be valid.

"No, it won't. Shirley stood in the middle of her office and said to herself. "I've done everything I could and looked into everything I could. That Ashrufat was by no means the illegitimate son of a great nobleman or a wealthy man, and he had no special power to do with it...... In Wallonia, there is no particular situation with the flow of money from the various chambers of commerce – there is no significant inflow of money from elsewhere. In other words, this Ashrufat may have some money, but his wealth is not large enough to attract the attention of the investigators, and from this point of view, his wealth will definitely not exceed 200,000 Quoli. ”

Two hundred thousand quillies, that's already a pretty big number. In fact, if there is a squire nobleman with this level of wealth, then he is certainly not an ordinary squire nobleman. According to the most common investment method in the world, having a 200,000 gold oli trap means that you can get 10,000 gold oli income every year. Such an income was enough for a man to buy a formal title of nobility, and then to own a luxurious mansion in the royal city, and even to marry a wife of a prominent birth.

From a businessman's point of view, the businessman with such wealth is either the majority shareholder (or even the owner) of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, or the top of those multinational super-chambers. From the point of view of the nobility, with this level of wealth, he is at least a lord of a small and medium-sized city. And both of these also need enough time to accumulate in order to accumulate such wealth.

This is also the limit of Shirley's wealth for Ashrufat. Her sanity clearly told her that this was an overestimate. How could a man who had become a mercenary have so much money? And this "mercenary" was definitely not disguised. Although Ann has done little to find any useful information, at least her eyes are definitely not wrong. In addition, Io's fate also shows from the side that this man is by no means the type who has never seen blood.

I have no reason to be afraid!" she snorted inwardly. No matter how much money he has, this time I'm going to bankrupt him. But when it's over, I can buy him...... Trample him under his feet.

Then it occurred to her that she had forgotten something. Lyle had been here today, and she hadn't even asked how much the other party had told Ashrufat.

Shirley didn't go wrong with her arrangement. In fact, by the afternoon, news of the drought in Toglia had already spread through the streets of the city. Everyone knows that the province of Dautolia is a typical sparsely populated province, and even if there is a drought, it will not have much impact, but people are concerned about the other aspect of the drought, which is the production of furs and the fur futures in the city at this time.

But by the next morning, the price of furs had not risen as much as expected. The price of furs marked in the warehouse of the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce is stuck at the same price as yesterday. Not only that, but by the afternoon, the price began to decline steadily. Shirley had to put some of her money into stabilizing the price.

......

"Judging by the scene, the opponent put in 50,000 gold Oli again at least yesterday afternoon and this morning. ”

Shirley sat calmly in the office, listening to the reports of her subordinates. For this operation, she specially recruited a few temporary personnel from Walloon City who are experienced in futures. In this regard, she has more trust in the judgment of these personnel based on experience.

"If we don't take action, a downward trend in prices will be unavoidable. The subordinate continued to report. "It is important to watch out for the fact that once a downward trend is formed, there is a high probability that there will be followers, and it will be more difficult to reverse the situation. ”

"Fourteen days later, it was the day of the delivery of the furs. Seeing that Shirley was silent, his subordinates continued to remind. "When the time comes, you will either have to take out the physical delivery, or you will have to pay compensation. ”

But 14 days is not possible, because even if there are no accidents, the fur purchase has probably just been completed at that time. The accumulated goods are hoarded in warehouses and have not yet begun to be transported towards the city of Brasian. In other words, it's a completely air-to-air deal – a point in time that Shirley deliberately chose when she made this plan.

"It's time for us to get involved. Shirley made up her mind. Although because of that uneasy intuition, she had not really come up with a large amount of capital before, but tried to use public opinion, rumors and other means to get others to help her consume Ashrufat's funds. But as it stands, this approach no longer works.

"The initial plan is to invest 100,000 gold oli. Shirley said. "You are responsible for the specific operation, and you must create a situation where prices are skyrocketing. ”

"In addition, there is another thing worth noting, that Sir Eshuruphat and the head of the Eurolock Chamber of Commerce he appointed, Mr. Gray, have been staying at the warehouse of the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce for the past two days. ”

"Sure enough, is he nervous too?" Shirley let out a sneer in her heart. Until yesterday, Ashrufat had not come to the futures trading floor of the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce, and everything was only entrusted to Gray. It's a good sign that he's nervous.

It's no wonder that now that Ashrufat has invested seventy or eighty thousand gold oliver, how can he not be nervous?

However, her judgment does not seem to be reliable. Because just the next morning, her subordinates brought her bad news.

"What's the matter, 100,000 gold Oli actually ...... in one breath" Shirley looked at the subordinates in front of her in disbelief. In just half a day, the 100,000 gold Oli she took out disappeared in this futures gamble. And the price of fur has not increased at all.

"I'm sorry, Miss Shirley. The veteran futures operator said. "But let's say we've been lucky. It took a lot of effort for me to use up the new money that the other party had put in...... The other party didn't have any skills to speak of, but the amount of money thrown into this breath was too amazing. If I hadn't put all my money into it, I'm afraid the fur futures would have been locked up, and we'd have failed this time. ”

"What do you think...... How much money does he have?" asked Shirley, staring at the faces of her subordinates.

"This ...... Miss Shirley, it's hard to say. In my experience, it's impossible for a normal person to invest all their money at once...... Judging by his past investments, he should have taken out most of the money this time. But I'm sure that's not all, he should have a small amount of energy to spare. ”

"That's right......" Shirley nodded. "I suspect he hasn't taken out all the money yet, at least not yet. All his real estate, gold and silver utensils, carriages, and so on, when all taken together, should be worth twenty thousand gold of Ollie...... But it is impossible to get such money with a mortgage loan, and you can only borrow about 17,000 at most...... Plus the assets of the Orok Chamber of Commerce itself...... In other words, he can still invest at least about 20,000. This should be his last hole card...... Since he hasn't done it yet, he should have some money left......" she groaned. "We need additional funds, and I'll give you another 50,000 gold olivia......"

The number of secret assets in the hands of Ashruphat will definitely not exceed 200,000. Because funds above this number are easily investigated. He has now invested at least 170,000 or more, which shows that he does not have much money left.

"By the way, let the spies keep an eye on him, especially if he sneaks to Walloon on his fast horse. ”

That's right, we can't let up yet. It wasn't until Ashrufat went to Wallonia that the battle was decided. Because this is tantamount to him having to do the last struggle. Mortgage lending for real estate is only available in Wallonia, and it is also more secretive, at least not to let the locals know that he is at the end of his rope.

"Fifty thousand gold Oli, it should be done!" Shirley said.
