Providence doesn't seem to approve of Shirley's decision. Because just one day later, the new investment of 50,000 gold Oli was sold out. And the price of fur futures not only did not rise, but fell a little.
This time, it was not a subordinate who came to report the news, because Shirley herself stayed directly in a place very close to the warehouse of the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce, and any price fluctuations could be known at the first time.
On this day, the fur price of the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce is like a windmill. The price changes hundreds of times in a single day. Anyone – even if he doesn't know how to buy or sell – can understand from the frequent price movements that this is a fierce tug-of-war.
"Today the way they bet has changed dramatically. The subordinate in charge of placing futures orders, who was actually a temporary person brought in by Shirley from Wallonia, reported. "Yesterday they smashed the market with all their might regardless of 3721, but today it has changed a lot, and it has become a repeated temptation with small shares. If my estimate is correct, this is also a side evidence that the other party's funds are close to drying up. ”
Shirley nodded, Ashrufat should indeed have no money, but on the other hand, she didn't have much money.
"How much do you think he bet today?"
"At least not less than our input. The subordinate reported. "But...... We did misestimate the amount of money in our opponents. It is now certain that the bears should have invested 200,000 gold in this futures trade. ”
"But Ashrufat can't have that much money!" said Shirley.
"Miss Shirley, are you sure about that?"
"He's not a local, so the money he brought with him could only have been sent through the Chamber of Commerce. Shirley added. If 200,000 gold Oli had it with him, and if it was gold coins, he had to drive a heavy wagon, and pull it by four horses—even if it was all money, and he had to carry a super large pocket with him.
All the information indicates that when Ashrufat fell into a coma and was sent to the manor, he had nothing to lose, at least not anything of the mark. It is indeed only logical that this is the only way to make a rich man, maybe a rich man will have a few thousand gold Oli around him to squander, but it is impossible to be stupid enough to carry 200,000 gold Oli with him.
"Indeed, 200,000 Quioli is a 'hurdle', which is an unwritten practice prevailing in various chambers of commerce. Single-transaction allocations above this figure are presented separately, while funds below this number are intermingled for mobilization. The subordinate agreed. "But is there a possibility that he divided his property into a few coins and then dispatched it?"
"Impossible. Shirley replied, "What's the point of doing that? His money is not coming from the right source? Oh, as long as he's not a fugitive wanted by the state, he doesn't need to use it at all." In the entire Anthropocene realm, there is no such fugitive. She muttered, "Isn't it...... What did we overlook? Did he already convert his real estate mortgage into cash for this futures transaction? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the total amount of money he has now! But he didn't leave here......
"Miss Shirley, operationally, this is not a particular problem. He did not leave himself, but he could convert the title deed mortgage into funds by signing a power of attorney. These funds can be channelled to the local community through the local chambers of commerce in Wallonia and Brasian. Ashrufat can then trade futures at the Chamber of Commerce with a certificate of funds issued by a chamber of commerce. ”
But even if he mortgaged all his estate, it would still not be enough. Shirley pondered, trying to find a suitable logic in her mind to explain the phenomenon.
"Wait, Miss Shirley, I suddenly thought of a possibility. ”
"What is possible?"
"Ashrufat is a local squire nobleman, isn't he?"
"That's right, and he's been a popular local celebrity since he won the race. ”
Is it possible for him to convince a group of friends...... A group of local squires and aristocrats joined him in futures trading?"
Shirley pondered for a moment. "This persuasion work is too difficult, and it takes too much time to convince so many people......"
"No, Miss Shirley, if this is an attempt at 'persuasion,' it will be difficult. But if he presents evidence, if he shows others the fact that he has close to 200,000 gold oli, then it is not persuasion, but an opportunity to share it with his friends. 200,000 Golden Oli, if it weren't for us operating behind the scenes, who would have thought that we would lose after having so much money? This futures speculation was originally a game in which the one with more money wins. ”
"You're right!" Shirley replied. Damn, I actually ignored this possibility! That's right, when you take out 200,000 gold Oli as the confidence to buy and sell futures, it is not too difficult to convince a person to invest. It's also easy to find a friend to raise money for you.
How many more friends will Eshurufat have to join the game?! Damn, she ignored his surveillance before futures trading began.
But Shirley didn't show her thoughts at all. Half of this was due to her veil, which obscured most of her expression. The enemy's strength must be reestimated immediately!
......
"These are the better friends of the Griffin twins, and some of them have more dealings with Essrubat himself, and some of those who are close to Countess Marianne. All of these people could join him. ”
By candlelight, you can see a whole row of names listed on the list. Each person has a number after their name. This figure is not the property of these people, but only the amount of their "spare money". It is well known that most of the property of the squire aristocracy was land, shares, and the like. They will never pledge their entire net worth to participate in this futures gamble. In other words, they will not put more money into futures trading than the total amount of their cash. It is also a pity that the city of Bracian is a small place, and the local squires and nobles add up to only a few hundred people, and it can be done in a short period of time.
Just looking at one number, it's actually nothing, but one by one adds up to a bit of a substantiality.
"This guy named Ace is so rich?" Shirley couldn't help but frown when she saw the number behind one of the people's names.
"She's a widow, but she's got a lot of assets. She has a lot of spare money because her husband left her a lot of property. ”
Shirley didn't continue to speak, but added the number on it one more time. The numbers add up to a staggering number.
"If all these people joined—of course, this is only theoretical, and practically impossible—perhaps Ashrufat would still have a capital of around 50,000 gold orioles...... They are supposed to lend money to Ashrufat in the form of 'loans'. ”
Shirley bit her lip. Unexpectedly, in the end, she still underestimated her opponent. But she had gone too far to stop, so she said, "Fifty thousand! It's nothing! It's just fifty thousand, and it's not beyond our ability!"
She gritted her teeth and leaned against her desk to begin to write. A minute later, she issued a bill to authorize the subordinate in charge of operating the futures to allocate 50,000 gold to the fund allocation quota! Tomorrow she will invest another 50,000 into this gambling game to see which Ashrufat has any tricks!
......
The next day fur prices are simply a roller coaster. This day did not repeat the frequent ups and downs of yesterday, but remained the same, and it changed amazingly. One will be straight up to the blue sky and stir up the bright moon, and the other will be three thousand feet down. It was not only a small group of people who watched the price of furs in the warehouse, but even the most experienced staff in the Chamber of Commerce were amazed, threatening that they had never encountered such a fierce battle in their lives.
But by the end of the day's futures trading, the price of fur was still a little lower than it was when the morning opened.
Shirley has long lost the mentality of winning before. Although she remained calm on the surface, she listened carefully to each change in the price of furs, and guessed Eshurufat's mood. But in fact, she herself has become less calm. More than once, she wanted to end this nerve-wracking tug-of-war and ordered her subordinates to invest large sums of money in one go, but in the end, she still controlled herself with reason.
"The other party seems very impatient and impulsive today......" she gently rubbed her head as she listened to her subordinates' reports. Today's 50,000 gold Oli is not used up, and there are about 10,000 left. Looking at the remaining quota and the price of fur that had been slightly knocked down, she didn't know if she had won or lost today.
“...... The operation is not at all like yesterday's situation of a war of attrition in which small groups of money are invested one after another, but an attempt to carry out a concentrated attack. This kind of action usually happens to those who are extremely frightened and impatient in their hearts. The experienced subordinate didn't notice Shirley's emotions, so he happily continued to express his opinion there. "I guess that, in his opinion, it is no longer money that has been invested, but his own flesh and blood. The pain, the despair, the surprise and the fear...... In his day, it is probably equivalent to constantly changing between heaven and hell. ”
"You mean he's running out of money?" asked Shirley.
"I think so. The subordinate replied. "A person's habits are fixed - unless he is playing, what kind of reaction he makes is an indication of what kind of mental state he is in. Yesterday he was still a little bit tentative, and he had enough patience to engage in a tug-of-war with me, but today he has lost that patience. This is one of the clearest evidence of his mood change. ”
"yes, that's really nice. Shirley stopped rubbing her aching temples and said.
"Miss Shirley, I don't think he has more than ten thousand dollars left...... As long as I give me another 50,000 gold Oli tomorrow, I should be able to push him into a corner. The subordinate said.
All the funds I have left, even if you count the rest today, are almost only 50,000! Shirley actually wanted to scold the anger in her heart viciously, but she remained silent in the end.
Except for herself, all of her subordinates did not know her true financial strength.
"I'll talk about it tomorrow......" As soon as she said that, she heard a knock on the door like a storm.
"Come in!" With that, a figure rushed in through the door. Shirley was stunned, only to realize that the person who came in was actually Lyle.
"Aren't you in charge of keeping an eye on Ashrufat's side, what's going on?"
"Not so long ago," Lyle's face looked pale and haggard even in the light, but an indescribable ecstasy came over his face. "The twin sisters of the Griffin family left in the night, supposedly on their way to Wallonia. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure. Lyle replied. "I followed their carriage and made sure they were on the road to Wallonia. They must have left at night to hide their eyes!"
Shirley stood up, and although she tried her best to keep herself calm, even if her face was covered with a veil, even if the light was dim at this time, the joy in her eyes was too stark.
