Section 88 Confrontation

"Can I know what this is for?"

"Of course, because you, Sir Eshurufat, are making your enemies against all the merchants in the city. ”

"Are there really so many enemies in me?"

"This year's fur price increase is a foregone conclusion. Ann said with a smile. "Almost everyone who is invested in futures will choose to buy the call. Originally, in this case, the futures price would soon be closed...... However, this year's prices have remained surprisingly stable, with ups and downs. This can only show that some people are constantly buying and falling. Then, maybe there was a mouthy clerk in the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce, or maybe someone well-informed heard about it from a specific channel, and now the whole city knows that the person who buys and falls on futures is you, or rather, your Orok Chamber of Commerce. ”

"But not all the merchants in the city are fur traders. Ashrufat said. "People who are really involved in the buying and selling of furs...... There must only be about ten or eight in the city. ”

"But you have to think about following the trend. What businessman would let go of a windfall in ten days and eight days?" Ann stared at the man in front of her, who had a smile on his face, just like all the men who came to her. But her eyes couldn't see through the smile for what it really was. Confident, nervous, winning, or ready to survive?

"You ......," she smiled, leaning closer to the other again. As an experienced woman, she had long sensed that there was a deliberate distancing in Ashrufat's politeness. It's hard to melt this layer of ice. "How much money is there to waste like this? Or may I ask, who are you?"

"I don't know what to say myself. Ashrufat replied. "I have amnesia, I can't remember who I am. ”

"So, what about the money?" Ann asked. "Memories can be lost - that makes sense, but money doesn't fall from the sky. ”

"Oh, because I won the spring horse race. Ashrufat said. Then he sold the winning horse for a good price. That's how I got my money. ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... But it doesn't sound like it's true. Why do you have to fight against the market? I really don't see your chances of winning, and many people think that you just throw gold into the pond just to see a splash. ”

"Why do you ask this question?"

"Because of a woman's curiosity. Ann replied. "Is that enough?"

"Actually, I've been dreaming all along. Ashrufat replied in response.

"What kind of dream?"

"In those dreams, I was an amazing person, in every dream. So in the real world, I can't help but feel that I should be a great character. Ashrufat said. "That's probably why I did it. ”

Ann looked at Ashrufat's face, and for some reason, she read a little bit of vigilance in the other person's expression. Suddenly, she realizes that her identity has been revealed. I don't know when Shodao began—and perhaps it was in the first place—that Ashruphat had already realized that she was Shirley's pawn and agent. Although it was only a fleeting feeling, and there was no obvious evidence to support it, she immediately gave up on further inquiry.

I did it too explicitly. Ann immediately woke up to this. This man ...... I'm afraid it's also a thousand tempers between scams and lies, and ordinary tricks will definitely not work. It's really weird, it seems that he still has a lot of secrets.

"In such a small town...... Suppressing the price of fur is a great thing?" she chuckled. "I don't know what grade those amazing characters in your dreams are. ”

"I don't know what grade Lu Dao is. But I'm not trying to suppress the price of fur. ”

"And what did you do?"

"Dispel the ambitions of someone who wants to get rich. Ashrufat replied with a smile. "One...... Someone who should theoretically be on top. ”

......

"This morning, Ashrufat placed three consecutive sell orders in the futures trading of the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce. Shirley read the latest news softly. "The total amount is as high as 30,000 gold oli. ”

I shouldn't be shocked, she told herself in her heart. He must have had some money, otherwise how could he have been so calm and confident before, a figure that was more than the total amount of money that Ashrufat had "within reason", and the price of his horses and his championship prize money did not add up......

No, I'm ignoring another factor. She closed the folder in distraught. He also has two fiancées, and the combined wealth of both parties is about the same. However, they have not been seen mortgaging their real estate...... But it is also possible that it was mortgaged through other channels, outside of Brassian, for example, in Wallonia. At least the amount of money that Ashrufat has invested so far is understandable, but it is almost to the limit.

Now, it's no secret that there are people competing in fur futures – it wasn't her intention. Shirley originally hoped that this matter would not be too sensational, so as not to attract unnecessary attention from others. But God knows where the news came from. But now it doesn't seem like a bad thing. It is precisely because of this matter that has been rumored that many people have focused their attention on fur futures. Of course, most people agree with the trend of rising fur prices. In this way, she did not spend much effort, and easily resisted the downward trend of prices.

Obviously, this is a good thing, but I don't know why Lu Dao makes her feel unusually anxious. It took quite a while for her to realize what she was thinking.

Am I uneasy?, Shirley asked herself. No, no, no, I shouldn't be upset. I've taken him to the place where I chose a good one. This is my home turf, I have carefully constructed all this, and the general trend, the whole environment, is overwhelmingly beneficial for me. So far everything was expected by me, wasn't it? Now he's wasted quite a bit of his ammunition on the heads of other futures speculators, and I haven't actually even made a formal move.

She searched in her mind for all kinds of objective evidence in her favor. Her intellect clearly told her that this intuition was completely unreasonable, even absurd. But without managing the wisdom of the people, this uneasy intuition lingers.

How much strength does that man have?

Shirley stood up, went to the bookcase in her office, and pulled a document out of it. This is all the information she has obtained about Ashrufat after careful investigation and collation for a long time. It contains a detailed account of Eshurufat's life after he arrived in the city of Brasian, but his origins also take up a lot of space. In particular, some of the origins of Eshurufaat are the accounts of Eshurufat, the twins of the Griffins, and the Countess Marianne, but most of them are from the servants of the two sisters' estates. At first, Lyle bribed several of them and got first-hand information about the mysterious visitor from their mouths. Ashrufat had not been here for a long time, so the servants still remembered the details very well, so there was a great deal of authenticity in this part of the information.

"Ashrufat...... Male, about 20 years old...... The first time I saw it, he was seriously injured and brought back by the Countess Marianne's carriage...... Doctors diagnosed him with amnesia...... Countess Marianne admits that she is a witness......"

She read softly. I don't know how many times she has read this text over the years, but this time she still read it carefully. Perhaps there are some details in these accounts that she has missed.

Wait, the doctor diagnosed him with amnesia? Was he being paid by Eshurufat to help him act, or was Ishrufat's performance too good to hide from the doctor? But at least the fact that he was injured at the time was certain because all the servants pointed out that he could not even get out of bed for the first time, and that he also went through a long recovery period. If you want to talk about acting, there is no need to perform to this extent.

The injury after falling off a cliff should be real. But did he really have amnesia, or did he just go with the flow?

There was a sharp, powerful knock on the office door. Shirley closed the papers in her hand and stuffed them back into the cabinet. After doing this, she called out, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open with force, and a man she hadn't wanted to see, Lyle, rushed in.

"What's the matter?" she was going to ask with a cold attitude. But this time, Lyle shouted before she could speak. "What's going on? At the beginning of futures trading this afternoon, the price of fur futures fell by half!"

If she still had the document in her hand, perhaps the document had fallen to the ground in extreme shock. Thankfully, it only took a second for her sanity to regain control. The price is nothing to her. Because she has raised the price of fur a lot before, even at this price, she has not made a profit.

Lyle looked at her with a fierce look in his eyes. She already knew that Douglaelle had also invested his private money (in fact, the ones that Io had given him) into futures. Of course, the price of Lyle had risen a lot when he entered the market, and I am afraid that he will lose a lot of money at this price now.

"Don't you know the little clerk?" she said in a cold tone to hide the shock in her heart. "What did he say. ”

"He's done. His actions were noticed, and as a result, he was transferred, perhaps fired...... But at least the last useful news he brought me was that at the beginning of the afternoon futures trading, Ishrufat placed five large orders to buy and sell. Lyle said fiercely. Even though Shirley was sure he wouldn't dare to do anything, Lyle's red-eyed gambler made her feel a little alarmed. "Each order is 10,000 gold ori, a total of 50,000. ”

This is beyond the limit of his theoretical assets!Shirley tries not to show any emotional fluctuations, or at least not for Lyle to see through. It is impossible for Eshurufat to have so much money, and it is impossible for the two Griffin sisters to have so much money! Eshurufat did not bluff, and his self-confidence and composure were indeed supported by practical strength.

"This news is timely, thank you very much. Shirley replied.

"All my money...... All I have!" Lyle let out a growl. "You said you would easily deal with Ashrufat!

"Did I say that?" said Shirley, walking towards her desk, not letting herself look flustered. "I guess I said it. However, I don't understand what the connection is to your property. Are you saying you're losing money on futures? But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. It's your choice, right?"

Lyle's expression looked close to losing his mind. Judging from this point, he invested more money than "all his property" and the like. I guess I borrowed more than one debt.

"And, Lyle, what are you anxious about. She sat in her place. Here, she could always take out the pistol she had been using for self-defense from a drawer. "There are still more than ten days left for futures delivery. It's too early to say anything about losses and gains. ”
