Section 174 Afterword of Liguria and the Visit of the High Elves (I)

After the decision of the National Assembly, another part of the kingdom experienced an earthquake-like toss: the stock market in Asturias.

After Solomon's trip to Liguria, the Bourbons secretly revealed that important members of the kingdom had visited Liguria.

The purpose of this good news, whether public or speculative, is to convince people that the Ligurian Plane is very worthy of exploration, and its value is greater than that of the original Fadell Plane, and that the Kingdom will officially take over the defense and development of the Plane at any time, and the Ligurian Frontier Company will naturally obtain a concession on the Plane.

If it weren't for the current situation, it wouldn't be a fake advertisement.

Therefore, the development of the Ligurian plane and stocks have become hot, and the Bourbons have introduced other strategic investors, and even the other two dukes can't help but intervene.

The shares of the Liguria Development Co., Ltd., which are still circulating on the stock market, have also risen in an extremely crazy state, and the news about the Ligurian crisis has been accused, and the Bourbons released a few days ago are still good news, what plane fortress has been built, the third round of investment, the caravan allowed to enter is about to begin, etc., so that the stock price has soared for several days.

No one noticed that three days earlier, someone had already begun to sell large quantities of shares of the Ligurian company to the market, from the families of the three dukes and a few other minority shareholders.

Solomon had asked them to consider disposing of the shares after a formal decision by Congress, but Kraussa had a bad feeling after receiving the information provided by Solomon. while making the final struggle. Test the simulation level of the Eternal Battlefield for yourself. On the other hand, the cunning Duke of Bourbon, after consulting with Klausa, decided to start releasing shares at the current high level, and if there is a turnaround, then in the future it would be better to snap it back at a higher price, and if it is really a crisis, then he can give as much as he can to recover some of his losses. Otherwise, it will be even more too late when Congress takes action.

When the congressional decision on the disposal of the Ligurian company really came out, Liguria's stock price was suddenly planted from the sky to the ground.

The stock price is falling in a straight line, and almost every minute, the stock price jumps off the building.

What's more, when more and more people know about Liguria, no one is willing to take over, and sellers are constantly refreshing the selling price, willing to sell at a lower price, but fewer and fewer are willing to take over.

In just two days, the share price of the Ligurian company fell to 80 percent below the issue price. But it's not that it won't stop, it's that the seller doesn't bother to bid anymore. Because there are no more buyers.

The stock exchange suspended the trading of the shares of the Ligurian company, but the people who still held the shares before, and the people who bought during the crazy rise were also stunned by this amazing change, many people did not have time to sell, there was a Viscount of Charonin, bought a lot of shares, leisurely went to the countryside for a vacation, before the holiday there was a huge fortune in the stocks, and when he came back, he heard that it was close to waste paper, this great contrast made him faint on the spot.

These people besieged the stock exchange, and the entire stock exchange had to temporarily suspend operations.

Kindleberger and Derek couldn't help but complain and regretted helping the Bourbons take the company's stock public.

After they had consulted, they were ready to bite the bullet and ask Solomon for help to see if there was a way to solve the problem.

However, before they could find a solution from Solomon, an even greater problem was revealed, and a member of the Commodity Exchange had invested heavily in the stock beforehand, and it was said that he had so many shares in his hands that he was almost qualified to squeeze one of the current directors of Liguria.

After the crisis erupted, the commissioner could not resist the irritation, and it was said that some of the heavy money he invested was borrowed, and he committed suicide.

A close friend of his, another member of the Commodity Exchange Commission, searched the recent trading records in detail and found that most of the current directors of the Ligurian company had begun to secretly sell shares before the final decision of the Congress.

After this news was exposed, it simply added fuel to the fire.

A group of people formed a petition group to petition the Parliament and the Cabinet of Ministers in the territories demanding severe punishment for the directors of the Ligurian company and holding them accountable for the stock incident.

At this point, Solomon had to come out and clean up the mess for the Ligurian company.

He acknowledged that the Kingdom lacked experience in dealing with the Ligurian incident, and although he had asked the directors of the Ligurian company not to sell the shares without permission, it had not been discussed by Congress at that time.

So the actions of the directors of the Ligurian company are shameful, but they are difficult to criminalize.

Solomon only promised that the kingdom would continue to improve the stock market in the future and rise to the level of parliamentary legislation, but he still refused to let the ducal family be directly responsible for the current mess.

Such an answer could not have been satisfactory, and some drastic acts ensued, and Solomon immediately and decisively mobilized the Guards to suppress them, and hundreds of people were imprisoned in one day.

But perhaps under pressure, the men were released after three to five days.

The holders of the shares of the Ligurian Company did not receive the desired solution on the part of the Royal Government, so they turned to the families of the three dukes, who gathered all day long outside their private residences in the royal capital to shout and protest and demand the return of their property.

The least affected director was Franklin, the lord of the Free City, for he did not sell the stock even though he knew that the stock of the Ligurian Company might fall sharply, and because he returned to the Free City with his daughter as soon as he returned, his old nest, no number of protesters dared to run there to settle accounts with him. After the accident, he asked Derek to publish his trading records, showing that he did not take the opportunity to sell stocks, leaving people speechless.

This is because Franklin's original purpose in the whole thing was to justify his involvement in Liguria in search of Agatha, even if the investment was lost. But Agatha was brought back by Solomon. He was already satisfied.

Solomon did not take the opportunity to ask the Duke's family for his guilt. The reasons are manifold.

First, on the surface, it is true that the stock market is not perfect, or rather, even in the world before he crossed, because of the incidents caused by inside information and disinformation, not to mention the fact that the trading market here is still rough, it is too reluctant to ask for the guilt; second, the withdrawal of the Ligurian company still needs to be dealt with by the Duke's family, which is more important than the turmoil in the stocks; third. Many of those current protesters are also speculators, and what Solomon is willing to do is to use this incident to seek greater political interests for himself, not for them, whether they are speculators or not, to achieve so-called fairness and justice.

There has never been fairness and justice in this world where the strength is unequal.

Even so, the Dukes were quite wolf-like, their reputation among the councillors plummeted, and in the face of the protesting crowd, the Byron family could not help but make a move, and as a result, they immediately attracted the intervention of the Guards.

Solomon sued the three dukes directly. The Kingdom will not condemn them in this matter. But they must not be violent to intimidate others.

Clausa and the Duke of Bourbon were the smartest, and the first one patted his ass and temporarily left the royal capital and returned to his stronghold, Mistley, to avoid the limelight, and then the other two dukes also quietly left Saint-Quentin and hid back in their own territory, and even took a leave of absence from the parliament later this year, and did not return to the royal government center until the second year.

This naturally brought great convenience to Solomon, and the parliament was less restrained by the three dukes as the core faction, and the parliamentarians of the duke's party were without a leader, and under the blow of the Ligurian incident, they reduced a lot of trouble.

That's what Solomon needed.

The withdrawal of the Ligurian Company and the fate of the Ligurian Plane is another story.

In the first place, the withdrawal of the Ligurian Company proceeded quite smoothly, for the kingdoms had fallen into great confusion and no one had intervened in the conduct of the aliens.

Within seven days, the vast majority of the merchants who set out from the Bourbon house were immediately sent back to their homeland upon their return, and even if you still had goods and money not received, they were forcibly sent back, and they could never come back to collect their debts.

On the ninth day, there were still a few merchants who did not return in time, not knowing whether it was due to the stagnation caused by the war or because there had been an accident.

On this day, all the merchants had been repatriated, and the convoy recruited in the name of the Ligurian Company and the direct army from the three dukes' families had also begun to return, leaving only some of the mages still maintaining the teleportation magic array.

In the evening, the legendary mage Strauss himself arrived in Liguria and ordered all the mages who maintained the magic circle to return immediately.

After the magicians also returned, Strauss destroyed the magic circle that maintained the teleportation channel at one end of Liguria, leaving only the newly built fortress empty, and then with the help of the space marker analyzed in the teleportation hall in Asturias, he successfully teleported with his own ability, returned to Santa Quentin along the lĂŹ, and closed the teleportation magic circle at the other end of the Keos plane, further erasing the traces of the connection between the two planes.

The Aboriginal people's vote has not been as smooth as some MPs think.

Because, in order to buy enough time for itself, it is impossible for the Ligurian Pioneer Company to take the initiative to tell the aborigines that your plane is on its way to destruction.

Solomon's instructions to the presiding officer who was in charge of cleaning up the mess were only if some of the wise people among the natives found that aliens were their only way out, and came to the door and were willing to take refuge and sign a magical contract, they could agree not to refuse.

But in fact, until the ninth day of the complete retreat of the Ligurian Company, no indigenous elite in Solomon's mind bent his knees to the door, and only a few merchants who had trade with the Ligurian Pioneer Company came to the door, hoping to take refuge in the aliens, or even "emigrate".

The problem is that such people don't need it, and the answer given by the principal sent by the Bourbons to assist in the retreat is that they robbed the property of the doorman and kicked him away.

Even the Third Duke knew in this matter that even if immigrants were accepted, they should also be skilled, such as the dwarves like the Kaos, whom Solomon helped to migrate to the territory of Asturias, whose mechanical skills contributed to the development of Asturias.

And accepting ordinary immigrants, provoking the frenzy of the aborigines in the last moment, will only interfere with the final retreat of the Ligurian company, unless it is an elite in the eyes of some parliamentarians, it is really worthless.

As for their property, the Bourbons don't mind being the villains and robbing them directly, just to make up for the loss of stocks. (To be continued......)
