Chapter 980 Chapter 962. Bankruptcy! ?
Sileden lowered his head and walked into the guest room again in a low voice.
“Look.” Taller admired as he wiped the beer foam from his lips. "This is what we call a wise man."
As he said that, the intelligence chief put the silver fork that Silden had just walked away from, and then turned back and slapped it hard on the table, back to the table. On the plate.
Taller raised the wine glass towards Lan En.
"Here's to the dwarf who was tricked."
"Here's to you." The demon hunter looked away from Siloden's door and raised his glass to touch it. "This friend who was cheated but is still loyal."
"Huh~" exhaling a breath of cold air, Lan En shook his head helplessly.
"It seems you don't blame him."
"Blame him? Blame him for what?" The witcher asked Taller strangely.
"Investment is risky, and you have to admit that you lose money when you enter the market. Apart from Silerton's strategy being a bit radical, he didn't do anything in the books. The investment failed because we were both cheated, but he didn't cheat me."
"I just feel it's a bit troublesome. I originally wanted to make a big purchase."
The demon hunter thought that he should also prepare a space backpack for Velvet Ball when he comes back this time.
Although it is expensive, it should be worth it.
After all, the alchemy leather bag he currently has on his waist does not have enough space.
In addition, this time [Turbid Current·Destruction] directly 'ate' the remains of the spiral sword he threw inside.
Although it was later discovered that it was a good thing, the remains of the Spiral Sword gave the giant sword [Remaining Fire], but who knows if something good will happen next time?
Bad things are always more likely to happen than good things.
This is only the bulk of what I originally planned to spend this time, leaving only the scattered potion replenishment, alchemy bomb preparation, and his biochemical experiment expenses
I originally thought that after coming back , these things should naturally go smoothly. However, the sudden changes in the financial market still taught the Witcher a good lesson.
How can there be any sure profit without loss?
But then again, for Lan En, the problem that Siledon is struggling with now just makes him feel a little 'a little annoyed'.
"If you need help." Before Lan En said a word, Taler on the other side spoke naturally.
“Do you still remember the promise Foltest made to you? In order to investigate and send spies here, other countries gave Temeria a lot of preferential tariff policies. You have a share of the profits. , as long as you speak. "
The intelligence chief said this casually, as if he was not talking about hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but just a plate of cheese slices on the table.
For an individual who once showed dominant intimidation on the battlefield, Lan En never had to worry about what he would do if he ran out of money.
When countless wealthy businessmen and nobles heard the news, their first reaction would be: Can it be my turn to send money?
And if this world is so ridiculous that no one comes to send "warmth" to the "poor" Lan En.
Then the most panicked person at that time will definitely not be Lan En himself.
So Lan En did not feel at a loss when faced with the situation where Silerton mishandled his personal fund and the capital chain was broken.
I'm just a little surprised that this happened to me.
I even felt that this matter itself was not as uncomfortable as Silerton's refusal to continue to manage his personal assets.
Facing Taller's speech on behalf of Foltest, Lan also picked up a piece of ham with a silver fork and put it into his mouth while talking.
“Forgive me, Taller.”
“Although I am on the verge of bankruptcy. Tsk, this is really the first time I have encountered this. But I don’t want to have to deal with the royal family just because of this financial problem. , Nobility or something is unclear.”
If there is really a gap of hundreds of thousands of orens, then that's another story. But according to what Sileton said just now, the gap in the broken capital chain is only 32,000.
Although thirty-two thousand orens is a lot even for a noble with an independent castle.
This is equivalent to more than a hundred complete sets of knight plate armor. Counting war horses and horse armor, it is equivalent to the entire equipment of more than fifty knights.
With Lan En's current network of connections, it would not be difficult to come up with this money.
Compared with this, it was Silerton's resignation that gave Lan En more headache.
After all, even if this money is injected into the capital flow, the fund framework that Sillerton has set up will start to operate.
Who will manage this business and industry?
Lan En thought for a while and confirmed that there seemed to be no such person with outstanding business acumen in his social circle.
But thinking about it, the matter is not urgent yet.
Lan En placed the cup in his hand on the table, making a soft sound like wooden blocks clinking against each other.
Taller had drifted to the side, and his eyes that were observing another tavern customer immediately turned back to Lan En.
"You are here collecting intelligence openly, while I do my own thing."
The demon hunter smiled at the intelligence leader.
“I am very satisfied with maintaining the current status quo.”
Many times there is no need to speak clearly.
Taller nodded immediately and put his hand into his collar to scratch his neck, looking relaxed and natural.
“Of course, what the hell can I say?”
Since the other party doesn’t need it, just keep your distance as usual.
Reducing the involvement of interests and leaving only pure relationships may be a wiser model in Thaler's opinion.
Otherwise, if other countries knew that Lane was receiving financial support from Temeria, it would be hard to say what the situation would turn into later.
It may appear calm on the outside, but behind the scenes, a lot of blood may be shed.
Seeing that the smart man opposite understood what he meant, Lan En smiled relaxedly.
"Have you found out who was tricking Siledon? This method seems to be very skillful."
The demon hunter and the intelligence chief returned to the rhythm of chatting. "Don't pretend to me, you must have checked."
If an ordinary businessman is cheated by competitors or fraud gangs in market activities, basically no one will care about the cause and effect.
Everyone is very busy, and the market is changing rapidly. Isn’t it normal for some people to get rich and others to jump into the river?
But Silerton's situation is different this time, because the personal fund he manages and runs belongs to a special person.
Anyone who knows this news cannot fail to investigate.
In front of Lan En's smile, Taller raised his hands as if surrendering.
"Okay, okay." He said helplessly, swearing along the way. "Yeah, who can fucking sit still knowing this news?"
"We did check it, but how can we say it?"
"Not ideal?"
"Yes, it's not ideal at all."
Taller tilted his head and spat on the floor next to him.
"At the end of our investigation, we found out that this is a group of financial fraudsters. Do you understand? They are just five or six brokers who pretend to be fake, and they also have powerful market news in their hands."
"They He presented the selected company information and development status to Siledon in a roundabout way. Of course, for the sake of credibility, the news was divided into good and bad, but the bad part is probably irrelevant, and the good part is likely to be important. "< br>
“Then, our loyal dwarf friends fell into the trap.”
“Use a few companies that are developing really well to arouse interest, and finally take away the biggest one. This is not even fraud, but making money based on information differences."
Lan En listened calmly to the process of his money being stolen, and even found it a bit interesting.
"That's it? This group of scammers and brokers with the most sensitive sense of smell have just focused on a fund that is obviously not right?"
"So far, we have only found this step. Finance, equity, company ownership. These things are very complicated."
Taller said helplessly.
"Just like the group of brokers I'm telling you now, I only know their existence, but I don't know their specific identities and appearances. I guess Siledon didn't even notice them. There is no existence."
The intelligence chief took another sip of Redania beer and sighed.
"Playing in finance is called stabbing behind the scenes without even showing your face."
"Aritusa is also investigating the matter of your personal fund. If you still have doubts, you can wait until you return to Gou Ask the people over there after S. Velen."
Taller was blunt and even suggested that Lan go to Aretuza College for intelligence reconciliation.
"I will, thank you." Lan En nodded. "By the way, there's something else I forgot to ask."
"What?"
"How come Siledon is in the Dark Water?" Lan En expressed his confusion. "Why did he come to this village? Waiting for me?"
"Probably so." Taller answered indifferently. "He came here to hold a meeting with the local blacksmiths' guild in Vizima this time. It is about the Valyrian Steel business."
"He came here three days ago and opened a guest room here. ”
Three days ago.
Lan En thought calmly.
It should be that Margarita observed the tidal changes in the magic power of Chaos, and then told Siloden that she was coming back soon.
So the red-bearded dwarf could wait for him exactly here.
Since studying the information about the convergence of the celestial spheres through the elf beacon, both Margarita and Tissaya seem to have gained something.
After taking the last sip and draining away the remaining Nilfgaardian lemonade in the glass, Lan put the glass on the table and stood up.
“Can I please?”
Taller called out with a teasing voice.
Lan En was not pretentious, waving his hand without looking back as he walked out.
"Then thank you for your generosity in helping a poor and poor bankrupt witcher."
"I am willing to serve you."
Taller brought Lan En finally left behind the funny and weird noises.
The demon hunter who walked out of the tavern came to the village and found Fluffy Ball and Qilin who were having fun in the wild.
The calico kitten was holding a large package and standing on the Kirin's back. Its horse-like body structure prevented the Kirin from eating the green flowers and grass that popped out of the package.
The unicorn jumped up and down, but the flannel ball relied on the [Light Body Technique] given to it by Lan En to stand firmly on the unicorn's back as if it was stained with glue.
“The boss is back, meow!”
Flannel Ball jumped down with a big package in his hands, and swayed towards Lan En.
Qilin stretched his neck, trying to put his head into the package from above.
But before it could succeed, Lan En grabbed the pale horn on Qilin's head that was like a crystal cone.
Raise Qilin's head and speak to it seriously.
"I'm bankrupt, Qilin."
Gu Long was full of question marks.
"Xi, Xilülu?"
