Section 84 Changes

In the morning of this day, in the room on the third floor of the office building on the outskirts of the city, a man dressed in ordinary casual clothes hurriedly pushed open the door.

"According to the report sent by Mr. Lyle, this morning the men of the Eurolock Chamber of Commerce rushed to the castle of Aeshurufat on fast horses. After a short stay in the castle, Ashruphat left the castle with him and rushed to the headquarters of the Eurolock Chamber of Commerce. ”

Although it was unsuccessful to bribe the servants in the castle to keep a close eye on Aerufat, it was a no-brainer to arrange a few spies outside the castle.

"And then?" asked Shirley, the owner of the office.

"Ashruphat went to the headquarters of the Orolock merchants, and went straight to the office of President Gray. Since then, I have locked the door, and I have been discussing something inside, but I have never come out. ”

"Sure enough, did you have a meeting?" Shirley replied, "keep staring." ”

"There's an extra thing, though. Mr. Lyle reported that he may have found someone who had been sent to stalk. ”

"What if you found out?" said Shirley mockingly. "Just tell Lyle to get the spies to pay a little attention. In fact, there is no need to hide it now, he must have understood that someone is arranging it. By the way, what about the price of fur today?"

"It's already up to thirty-four silver coins, and the rally is still to be expected. There was a little more excitement in the voices of his subordinates. "And we didn't put in any additional money, and this price increase was caused by other people jumping in. Miss Shirley, shall we make any further announcement of the province of Toria, which has had a great impact today, and the production of furs, especially otter furs, must have been greatly reduced. If this news is announced, a lot of idle money will immediately pour into the futures, and in just a day or two, the price will rise by at least half. ”

"No need. Shirley replied. "Let's put the news on hold for now. Now, if this news is announced, it will probably directly destroy the will of the bears to resist. They are likely to give up outright and choose to make amends. In this case, even if you win, you won't get a lot of results. ”

The subordinates left, and before Shirley could do anything else, another knock sounded at the door.

"Come in. With her voice spoke, Lyle walked in from outside. He casually hung his hat on a hanger to the side, and then honestly sat down in the chair where the guests were entertained.

"What?" his appearance surprised Shirley.

"It took a lot of effort. "Now Lyle no longer has the same awe for Shirley as before, to say the least, it has decreased a lot. But now Shirley doesn't care about this anymore, as long as he can cooperate, as long as he can provide assistance as a land snake, then she doesn't mind his attitude. After all, there is less than a month left. "Finally got that trouble out. The one from the Chamber of Commerce ......"

"You've bought off the head of their futures department, which is a great achievement!"

"How could it be!" replied Lyle. "If I had the ability, I would have awarded myself a gold medal with the words 'Mighty Power' written on it. Besides, it's useless for me to buy him off, the Double Horse Chamber of Commerce has a very close eye on this aspect, and it is almost a check every other day, unless it colludes with the entire Chamber of Commerce to cheat together, otherwise there will be no chance at all. I only bought off the small staff who were in charge of the work below, and it cost me a lot of money. ”

He looked at Shirley, who didn't say anything at all. Damn, if only it were Big Brother Io! When Io heard this, he had generously stuffed a stack of bills into his hand!

"This must be a public expense, right?" Lyle finally made it clear.

"Is this a public expense?" said Shirley, with a smile in her voice. "So, what is the fact that you invest a lot of your money in fur futures?

Damn, this woman knows everything!!

"What level of assistance did the little clerk in charge of the errands promise?" asked Shirley. "Can you do it without telling your superiors?"

"No, you can't. Even if you can, it's only once, it's meaningless, and it can't change the overall situation. Lyle replied. "But he agreed to give us the information about the buy and fall market...... Secret, of course. In this way, we know how much the other party has invested and to what extent. ”

"Better than nothing. Shirley replied.

"Intelligence is the number one thing, don't you always say that?"

"Before the battle officially began, it was. Hide yourself, know the enemy, it's more important than anything else. But now that the battle has officially begun, it's much more of a minor. Shirley replied. "The situation is subject to change. What information did you get from that little clerk?"

"The Oroco Chamber of Commerce has indeed placed three additional bids in a row. Lyle replied. "But it failed to stop the upward momentum. They now have only two choices, either give up and admit to leaving. Either you have to increase the buying order on a large scale at one time and completely knock the price down. ”

"Very good. Shirley replied with a smile. "If they admit compensation, how much will they lose?"

"Quite large, and could even lead to outright bankruptcy. That's why they've invested more. But it was no longer possible to add any more, because if you put any more money into it, you might have a problem with the money necessary to buy the furs. ”

"So the president, Gray, found their majority shareholder. Shirley said. "Since they approached Ashrufat instead of pleading outright, it shows that they still have hope...... This shows that they are determined to continue to invest more, rather than choose to throw in the towel. ”

"It's okay, we'll know the details of their additional funding soon. Lyle replied. "The deal has been made, and now you need to send someone to keep in touch with him. ”

"What code are you going to use?"

"A white handkerchief with four knots tied at the four corners. Lyle replied. "It's just a temporary measure, and for the sake of confidentiality and security, it's better to have a fixed person contact him. Of course, he emphasized that he could only pass on messages verbally, not write things down. ”

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door. However, before anyone could reply, someone pushed the door open. It was a woman, dressed in a blue dress that was perfect for cleaning—the kind that looked a little dirty—with a large towel wrapped around her head, and a bucket in one hand and a broom and mop in the other.

Lyle glanced at the cleaning lady with some inexplicability. What's going on? What are you cleaning now?

"Sister!" Shirley let out an angry scream.

"Sister?" Lyle looked up and down at the woman dressed as a female worker. If it weren't for Shirley's scream, he wouldn't have thought that this cleaning lady was Shirley's sister. Because whether it is temperament, dress, or other subtleties (in terms of women, Lyle has always been very confident in her vision), she is completely a maid.

So far, Lyle has not seen Shirley's true face under the veil, but he can imagine what kind of arrogant face this arrogant woman would have been. There must always be a contemptuous smile on the corners of her mouth, and between her eyebrows it should be full of arrogance that is high above and looks down on all beings. This is a woman's older sister...... Well, is she an ordinary cleaning lady who can't be more ordinary? Of course, if you look closely, she is also a pretty beautiful woman, but she lacks any kind of noble temperament.

But what happened next surprised him even more. Because the scene before him was like a pantomime in a theater.

"What are you doing here! I said I don't need your help!"

"What does it matter if it's dirty here? Do you think I'm in a sanitation contest? After a month and a half, the rent is due, and we're gone! ”

"That's right, get out of here...... Leave this little town where birds don't, so you're wasting your time!"

Shirley was the only one talking (or rather shouting) the whole time she spoke, and her sister never spoke. Not only did he not make a sound, but he didn't even do gestures or expressions. However, from the perspective of a third party, Lyle could clearly feel that the two could communicate. Shirley was talking, and the "sister" was talking in a voice that was inaudible to a third person.

"It's nothing!

The cleaning lady left, and Shirley returned to her seat and sighed. It was only at this moment that she looked like an ordinary woman.

"Lyle, when do you think Ashruphat will come to the door?" Shirley immediately restarted the conversation.

"Why do you want to find the door?Why do you want to find the door?" Shirley's topic changed so quickly that Lyle couldn't come back to his senses all of a sudden.

Shirley snorted through her nose, "Of course he's here to negotiate! As long as he's not an idiot, he'll always be able to find the person behind this matter." ”

"However, the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce is ...... The information of these customers is confidential......"

"You can know the information of the Dao by bribing the small staff, won't he? He may not choose this way, but he is also a local squire and nobleman, so he can naturally put pressure on the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce through various channels through his connections, from the governor, the sheriff, the treasurer, and so on. In this way, sooner or later he will know who we are and where we are. ”

"What's the use of knowing the truth?"

"Come to the door to negotiate. Shirley let out a burst of laughter. In fact, this is also the safest and best result. Both sides took a step back, he avoided complete bankruptcy, and I made a small sum and completed the task at the same time...... Of course, the most important thing is that there will be no sequelae. However, I believe that it may not be that simple. If he really is, as he says, just an ordinary person from a mercenary background, then he will choose to compromise. If he really is a man with a background, if he has a large amount of money at his disposal - he will choose to fight us to the end. ”

"Hehe, fortunately, both are acceptable results for me. Lyle heard the woman smirk.

"What do I do next?"

"Continue to strengthen the surveillance of his castle, especially the situation of the guests who come to visit, and pay more attention. They must also report to me immediately if they go far away. As for the little clerk...... Since it is said that a full-time person is needed to contact him, it is most convenient for you. You're a local after all, aren't you?"
