Five minutes later, all the members of the "Shining Gold" assembled, and Antron and Orome also received instructions from Lyudmila in the High Communication Stone and rushed over in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle horn has sounded, and it's time for us to show off our skills," Roland lifted the spirits of the crowd with a provocative opening remark.
"Brother Roland, I heard that the pirates are coming to ransack the White Gull Harbor, so we might as well take the initiative and try to sneak into the Giant Demon Island to make a mess and kill those scumbags" Bloom was eager to try.
Roland smiled and waved his hand, "It's not yet time to move the sword, the first thing we have to face is a war without gunpowder, with money as a weapon and the market as a battlefield." ” The dwarf scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
Viglaf, Veronica, and Lyudmila didn't understand either, only Nikita raised her head and stared deeply into Roland's eyes, her breathing excited and rapid with some premonition.
"Nikita, what's wrong with you, you seem excited," Veronica asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I can't help but feel a little excited when I think of the knowledge and theories I learned from books, and I will soon have the opportunity to test them in reality."
The Witch in Red licked her lips, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, you want to throw a fireball in the middle of the city" "you, the theoretical knowledge I'm talking about is not magic, it's the laws of the economy and the market, and you don't understand it," Nikita snapped back impatiently.
At this moment there was a knock at the door, and the waiter asked respectfully, "Mr.
Roland, Mr.
Antlong and Miss Orome from Dolphin Bay have asked to see you." ” "Invite them in."
The door opened, and two men and women, who were younger than everyone present, walked in, feeling everyone's gaze, and both looked a little nervous.
"Antron, Orome, don't be restrained, find a place to sit down by yourself."
Roland made a brief introduction and got back to business, "I have a hunch that there will be some abnormal turmoil in Baiou Harbor in the next few days, and I am afraid that the lives of ordinary residents will be disturbed because of this, and it is difficult for me to say how strong the specific impact is, so I need your help to do some specific investigation work, Antron and Ou Luomei are graduation internships, I will pay you salaries, and the others are their own brothers and sisters, so I will not be polite to you, don't think I'm stingy for running errands for free, there are many places to use money next, I'm in charge and have to be careful. ” His words drew a good-natured laugh.
Viglaf couldn't wait: "Mr.
Roland, what can I do for you?"
"Vigraf, go around the docks and see how the ships coming in and out of the port have changed compared to usual, focusing on the warehouses and warehouses, and by the way, ask the dockers what they think of the current situation, and take note of all the news that deserves attention."
Roland then said to Bloom, "You go to the docks with Vigraf and focus on the local taverns to see how the atmosphere changes. ” The dwarf big brother's eyes lit up: "Can you have two drinks after the investigation?"
Roland smiled, "Yes, especially pay attention to the changes in the retail price of alcohol." ” "No problem, I like this job" "Veronica, your mission is to visit the black market in the city, frankly, I don't know how many black markets there are in Hakull Harbor and where they are located, but" Roland pointed to the female ninja, "but I know that you must have a way to find out these doorways, talk to those shady city fox society rats, and ask them what kind of business is the most profitable lately." ” "Hey, it's a trifle, even if it's wrapped up in me," Veronica snickered.
"Roland, what am I going to do?"
asked Lyudmila.
"You and Nikita go to the fair, Antron and Ou Luo Mei also go together, after you get to the trade fair hall, you need to divide into two teams, Mira, you take Euro Mei to investigate the grain and non-staple food wholesale and retail market, pay attention to the changes in prices, Nikita and Antron go to the bill trading hall on the second floor, observe the movement of the capital market, if I am not mistaken, the price of bonds and notes related to the Yangbo family should have a relatively sharp decline."
"If I think the price is right, can I buy it?"
asked Nikita.
"Today's main thing is to find out, if you think it's profitable, then you can use the position of the team fund to buy some short orders, and how to operate depends on your judgment."
Roland said in a deep voice.
Nikita heard that he was authorizing himself to operate, and couldn't hold back her excitement and held his hand tightly: "Don't worry, I have my own measure, and I won't be stupid enough to dig a big hole and bury myself." ” Roland patted Miss Mage's soft cheek and said softly, "Go, I'll wait here for you to come back, and then I have to make corresponding decisions based on the first-hand news that everyone brought back." ” After everyone left, Roland stood in the empty room for a long time, suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of hunger, rang the bell and called the waiter to bring another breakfast, which was wiped out like a storm.
Holding a cup of hot tea and walking to the balcony, Roland pushed open the crystal window and slowly sipped the fragrant black tea while overlooking the street scene downstairs.
Living in the most luxurious hotel in Baiou Port, you can ask the waiter to send anything you need, and you can't feel the suffering of the people at all.
However, pushing open this window, the billowing red dust rushed in front of him, and Roland immediately felt the abnormal atmosphere of the streets and alleys.
Tall horses dragged vehicles in a long queue on the streets, almost blocking the city's traffic arteries, and sometimes someone lifted the curtain to look at it, and the faces with oily hair or pearls were full of anxiety.
These rich and wealthy people of the city eagerly left the city with wagons full of gold, silver and jewelry, saying that they were going to a country house for a vacation to escape the heat, but they looked more like a group of hamsters who had sniffed out the wind in advance and fled in a hurry.
Roland sneered silently, and his gaze shifted to the shop on the street.
There are long queues in front of almost every store, especially the grain stores and bakeries, which are blocked by the crowd.
The freshly baked bread was sold out in an instant, and when the grain store men put up a sign saying "closed today", the long queue could not contain their disappointment and almost caused a riot.
Roland drank all the black tea in the cup, and the appearance of the beings in front of him was completely unexpected.
The pirates of the Giant Demon Island blocked the passage in and out of the North Bay, Maximian openly threatened an embargo, and Lyubov, although he responded strongly in his personal name, the two councils continued to blame each other, and the voices of surrender were loud.
All the negative news spread almost overnight and spread to thousands of households in the streets and alleys, stirring up turmoil among tens of thousands of families.
Despite the fact that the sun is still rising today, the seeds of unease have been planted in the hearts of people, and the expectations of crisis that exist at all levels of society have led to a general pessimism about the future
