"The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market." Leo looked like a traitor and sneered with his small white teeth.
Xiaobai was startled for a moment, and then he followed the example of the boss, opening his big mouth with an evil look on his face, as if he was ready to rush forward and bite someone.
Angus was shocked when he heard Leo's murderous words.
He heard the meaning of Leo's words, as if he was preparing to trick Russell once and let the money go down the drain, and a feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
A bad premonition.
The bureaucracy of the Ruman Empire, like all other bureaucracies in the world, requires local officials to obey the leadership of the central government.
But...but this is only from a legal perspective.
Otherwise, local officials like Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, etc. who disobey the central leadership will never get ahead, let alone occupy such important leadership positions as Taizong Taizu.
In fact, local officials obey the leadership of their immediate superiors. As the saying goes, "county officials are not as good as current officials."
There is an extremely serious issue of political alignment here~!
As an official of Nai'an, Angus is a subordinate of Lord Lowe, and Lord Lowe is the concubine of Princess Catherine... Bah, boyfriend.
Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prime Minister Russell stand on two different political fronts.
Therefore, Angus is destined not to be in the same trench as the Prime Minister.
Angus and the others represent the local interests of Nai'an, as well as the interests of Lorraine and Leo's Flying Eagle Group.
Russell represented the interests of a unified and centralized central government.
Just for the sake of annual taxes, both sides battled wits, deceived and counter-deceived, and staged a high-IQ duel.
Angus always wants to collect less, and Russell always wants to collect more. It is best to control local finances, not only to choke the governors' necks, but also to pinch their balls.
In addition, there are a lot of matters such as the appointment of important officials, the allocation of materials, supporting the army, sharing military expenditures, and so on. The local and central governments are always at odds with each other.
Especially in this confrontation, there is also the personal grudge between Lorraine, Catherine and Russell. The situation is even more complicated.
Catherine has never forgotten the hatred of her marriage.
Although the two sides have not yet reached the point of opposing each other, their relationship with each other is not friendly at all. If there is an opportunity to stumble the other party, they will definitely not show mercy.
In short, Naian will always be willing to do anything that can benefit Nai'an and cause trouble for Russell from top to bottom.
But in the view of mature and prudent officials like Angus, some things should be done, such as hiding taxes, while some things are just disputes of temper and there is no need to make a big deal out of it.
Leo's intention to cheat Russell's money belongs to the latter.
From Angus's point of view, even if Russell is allowed to take Nian's ride and earn more money, what will happen?
Whoever earns the money is not earned, so why deepen the hatred between the two parties.
Angus was about to give advice to Zhongxin. Lorraine turned to look at the sky and said, "The market will be closed for lunch soon. Let's go back."
Angus could only swallow what he wanted to say. He stood up helplessly and opened the door first. Director Higgins immediately trotted over, stood respectfully behind Lorraine, and said with a happy face: "Good news, good news."
News, Lord Governor, 60% of the shares of the Eagle Railway have been sold. The sale is expected to be completed within two days."
Chairman Leo laughed proudly, stroking his bulging belly with his hands up and down with satisfaction.
Lorraine nodded approvingly, then his face changed. He shook the report in his hand and said solemnly: "Please read this list carefully. Once it is leaked, it will cause chaos in the world."
Higgins also understands that many people here should not have so much money. The best example is the cardinals of Vatican City. According to canon law, clergy should not have private property.
Once it is announced, it will arouse public outrage.
If that kind of thing really happens, his little life will be over, and even the Governor of Lorraine will not be able to keep him as director.
Thinking of this, Higgins turned pale, nodded repeatedly, and said: "I will classify the list as top secret and keep it personally."
Lorraine hummed and said, "This matter is of great importance. You alone are not enough. I will send you several security guards."
Hearing the word "security", Higgins shivered.
He knew many legends about the group of men in black, and every legend was full of horror and supernatural flavor.
Lorraine sent such a group of people to surround him, and Higgins would never feel comfortable.
But he didn't dare to put forward any opinions. From today's report, he has seen the powerful power of the stock market.
That is the power that can attract wealthy people from all over the continent together.
Lorraine and Leo walked through the hall and prepared to return to the carriage.
Along the way, people kept shouting and laughing excitedly, running into the stock exchange, and rushing into the crowd in the hall with a fanatical desire to make money.
No one even noticed Lorraine, the governor, and even the novice with the most obvious features was ignored by the crowd.
After squeezing through the crowd and walking out of the door, Angus looked back. With his naked eyes, he could even see an anxious atmosphere hovering in the hall. Everyone seemed to be possessed by a demon, waving their money bags in exchange for a ticket.
Zhang stock.
"Crazy, all crazy." Angus muttered quietly, shook his head and walked onto the carriage.
At noon the next day, Director Higgins came to the door in person and reported the good news to Governor Lorraine and Chairman Leo. All the initial stock shares had been sold out and five million in cash had been handed over to the Flying Eagle Group.
The shares of Flying Eagle Railway will enter the listing and trading process the next day.
Chairman Leo kept a silly smile all day long.
Even at the dinner table, he swept a whole plate of green peppers into his bowl and ate them all in a few bites.
Catherine was frightened. She hurriedly pulled Leo up, shook him hard, and said nervously: "Are you okay?"
Lorraine pouted and said, "Don't worry about him, he is happy."
Leo slapped Catherine's hand away, approached Lorraine, and said slyly: "Boss, how high do you think the railway's stock can rise before the market closes today?"
Lorraine put down the tableware, rubbed her nose and made an estimate in her mind, then said: "One o'clock two?"
Leo rubbed his round chin and said longingly, "I guess one point three."
Princess Lulu chuckled and said teasingly: "Little ruffian, what sweet dream do you have? On the first day of the market, it would be great if the price can rise a little. At most, a few ten cents."
Leo jumped up in anger, glared at Princess Lulu angrily, and said, "You have long hair but short knowledge. You know nothing. How about a bet? The loser will listen to the winner for a day."
"Just bet, whoever is afraid of whom~!" Princess Lulu puffed out her plump breasts and said, "Pretend I've never speculated in stocks."
Leo simply immersed himself in the stock market that day. The news came after the stock market closed that night, and the Eagle Railway surged by 25%, closing at one gold and twenty-six silver coins.
In other words, everyone who makes a move will make a quarter of the net profit.
Leo laughed and returned to the Governor's Mansion. Although he could not win the bet against Princess Lulu, it was a good start.
That night, news of the Eagle Railroad's sudden surge spread throughout Nadel and spread along the telegraph lines to the entire continent.
Everyone knows that as long as you buy the shares of the Flying Eagle Group yesterday, you can instantly earn 25% today, which is more profitable than loan sharking, and there are no conditions required. As long as you open an account in the stock market, you can trade one share.
The whole city was agitated by the news.
Trading continued for the next two days, and a large number of investors flooded into the stock market. The number was so large that the trading hall could not accommodate it. Lorraine had to call in the city guard to maintain order.
As soon as the market opened, Eagle Railway immediately went up, at 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5, soaring all the way up. The trend chart is a steep diagonal line.
By the close of the holiday, the share price of Eagle Railway soared to 1.97 gold coins.
That night, Leo felt light even when he walked, and deliberately circled in front of Princess Lulu. He said, "Did you see it? Do you still dare to bet? Bah baa baa baa..."
Princess Lulu bit her lip tightly and her eyes shone brightly. This stock price meant that she had just made a profit of 10 million for the Elf Kingdom, of course, it was only on paper.
If anyone dared to question the royal family's investment in the Eagle Railway a few days ago, they should all shut up today.
In the future, who will dare to say that Princess Lulu is just a beautiful vase, and if she has the ability, she will try to earn 10 million for the Elf Kingdom.
Princess Lulu was even happy that she negotiated a business deal with her cousin before the railway company went public, otherwise she would only get half of the shares for the same money.
Just seeing Leo twisting his hips and waist in front of her, doing a gangster dance, Princess Lulu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, clenched her pink fists, and said viciously: "Bet, why don't you block it? I bet tomorrow it will only go up to
Two and a half gold."
Objectively speaking, today's madness is entirely driven by the market. The market is so big and there are only so many investors. When they calm down, the stock market should cool down.
"Okay, if you exceed this price, you lose," Leo slammed the table, then raised his palms and stood in front of Princess Lulu.
Princess Lulu snorted and patted Leo with her white and tender hands.
After the market opened the next day, not only Leo, but also Princess Lulu went to the stock exchange to stay.
At the moment the market opened, the stock price exceeded 2 gold, and then it rose crazily like someone on stimulants.
People waiting to enter the stock exchange formed a long queue outside the door. Many people even left their jobs to get a share of the stock market.
After the market closed in the evening, Leo walked into the room with his hands on his hips, chest high and head held high, like a victorious general.
But Princess Lulu who was following him seemed to have lost her soul, as if she was wandering in a distant place, and walked in with soft steps.
Lorraine could tell at a glance who was winning and who was losing.
Leo didn't have time to speak, so he stretched out his hands, each with the number three, and said excitedly: "Three, three, three point three."
Then he looked at Princess Lulu with contempt and said, "Hey, you lose."
Princess Lulu fell into the sofa next to Lorraine and murmured: "This is three times, three times~!"
On the first trading day of the new week, Eagle Railway hit a new high.
this……
This is not scientific~!
Thinking about it later, she couldn't help but moan softly.
Lorraine patted Leo and reminded: "If it's almost the same, prepare to issue more. This price is already high enough."
"No, no, I want to observe you for two more days." Leo smiled slyly and said, "Hey, where are you going?"
Leo shouted to stop Princess Lulu who was tiptoeing away and said domineeringly: "It's your turn to fulfill your bet."
"If you cash it, cash it," Princess Lulu pouted and walked back. "Okay, what do you want me to do? Let me tell you first, it is not unconditional."
Leo's eyes rolled around and he thought for a long time. He couldn't think of a good way. If the method is too light, it will not relieve the hatred. If it is too serious, the eighth wife will definitely take revenge. Give up, it is too unwilling...
Then in a blink of an eye, he saw Xiaobai next to him. His eyes immediately lit up. He pointed at Xiaobai and said, "Then you give Xiaobai a massage~! You have to press it up and down all the time."
Princess Lulu was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiaobai's several hundred kilograms of meat, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay~!"
He stood up and walked towards Xiaobai lying on the carpet with steps like a Valkyrie.
Xiaobai was feeling grateful for his boss's care. When he looked up, he saw Princess Lulu's expression of wanting to kill. Uncle Xiaobai couldn't help but shuddered: Just kidding, if you fall into the hands of this witch, you will definitely not get good results.
It immediately shook its head firmly, saying that its physical condition was good, its food tasted delicious, and its body felt great. Massages were the most annoying thing, and Uncle Bai didn’t need them at all~!
"How can it be done? I will do what I say~!" Princess Lulu cracked her knuckles and walked into Xiao Bai with a malicious smile.
Uncle Xiaobai has lived in Lorraine's house for three years, and he has a profound understanding of the truth, that is, you must not offend women, as they will hold grudges... for the rest of their lives~!
Xiaobai jumped up from the ground in fright, shaking his head, meaning: I really don’t want it anymore.
Princess Lulu seemed determined to abide by the bet. She also moved her arms and palms and said, "Don't worry, I won't be too... forceful."
"That's obviously not what she meant." Xiaobai wailed, took several steps back, then turned around and ran away.
Princess Lulu shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the door where Xiaobai disappeared. "Everyone has seen it. It's not me who kept the promise, but Xiaobai who didn't want to."
Leo protested loudly: "This doesn't count."
"It's too late." Princess Lulu threw herself on the sofa, made a face at Leo, and said: "Bah baa baa baa~!"

While the Eagle Railway stock sale was in full swing, on the other side of the Endless Sea, in the distant Semitic continent, a serious economic crisis was erupting.
The instigator of this economic crisis and the issuer of Eagle Railway stock were the work of the same group of unscrupulous villains, all of them Lorraine and Leo.
Of course, like all the bad things he has done in the past, as the output unit for spawning monsters and dungeons, Sir Luo hid behind and planned. He pushed Mr. Lei out and let him be the main tank to attract all the hatred.
For Mr. Lei, as long as he can have fun and make money, he doesn't care if he is taken advantage of.
For the nobles of the Ruman Empire, they were even more happy to see Mr. Lei cheating and showing off his power everywhere, especially when the little gangster was peeing all over the world.
Because these kinds of deeds fully prove Leo's excellent qualities as a politician, he will definitely become a supreme genius in the future.
The royal historians continued to amplify these deeds and turned them into legends of Emperor Leo that have been passed down for centuries, deceiving the uneducated common people.
This matter has to start more than two years ago, when Lorraine and Leo had just sneaked into the Semitic tribe and met Fiona at the Caribbean port.
By chance, Lord Luo was surprised to discover that the Semitic people had always used tomatoes as an ornamental plant.
As a person with a five thousand-year-old food culture in his mind, also known as a 'foodie', Sir Alex easily made 'Tomato Scrambled Eggs', a simple and easy dish that shocked the past and present, and
A world-famous dish that has been famous for centuries.
In addition to possessing countless admirable titles, Sir Alex also has a halo on his head - 'the first person to eat tomatoes'.
With the emergence of dishes, the edible value of tomatoes has naturally been developed.
This red, sour plant is naturally very popular among the aristocrats and landowners - the common people simply cannot afford it.
Originally, this was not a big deal, it was just an extra plate of food on the table. If you want Chinese food, you can also order a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, and if you like Western food, you can order a plate of Italian tomato and egg noodles, but
…
But the saying "Don't be afraid of bad things, just be afraid of not being good people" is one of the fifty wise sayings that are "applicable to everyone".
As the value of tomatoes was developed, the price naturally doubled suddenly.
Sir Luo and Leo are extremely successful capitalists, comparable to Soros's financial shark. Even a trace of blood from fifty miles away can attract them, let alone the gold coin that is so close.
The prince immediately began to buy tomatoes in large quantities and began a vigorous speculation operation.
In the meantime, in order to make the goods more prosperous, the prince spent a lot of money to invite several loud and howling beasts in Semitic universities, and asked them to write articles everywhere to prove that this
Tomatoes not only taste good, but are also rich in various vitamins abcdefg... and other vitamins, as well as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium... and many other nutrients.
Regular consumption can not only reduce radiation, whiten skin, but also delay aging, strengthen the body, etc.
As soon as this news came out, the nobles and landowners who were full of food and thought about living for another three to five hundred years all went crazy.
In order to live a long life, and women in order to stay young forever, they are even willing to eat shit, let alone such delicious food.
Naturally, they are purchased in large quantities, and the price of tomatoes is also rising. After a month, one tomato can basically be replaced by several good horses.
However, for ordinary people, tomatoes are still a rare plant and can only be consumed by nobles.
Later, the Lord was not satisfied with it, so he found several old men with white hair and good spirits, and asked him to learn how to memorize it. Then he stood on the street pretending to be a bricklayer and calling a beast, and he was paired with a busty and high-chested old man next to him.
The brainless beautiful hostess let them sing and sing together to promote to ordinary people.
Under this kind of hype, the price of tomatoes began to go crazy.
