Chapter 83 Skills

"Ms. Shirley thinks he still has the ability to dispatch funds?"

"We cannot underestimate any enemy." Shirley replied. "If you don't say anything else, I suspect he has already noticed it. He and his two fiancées have completely moved into the castle, which has left us with no chance to get in. There are only a few servants in the castle, so we can't find a suitable channel to buy. In addition, the news he found out said that he actually asked his two fiancées to take charge of the cleaning of the inner room..."

"This is impossible! He is a son-in-law... he asked his two fiancées to clean themselves?"

"So this matter is very suspicious." Shirley nodded. "Is he really just a mercenary and has no background? Or is he actually very much a backstage, but he just had to live in seclusion in this way? We have to predict according to the worst possibility. In other words, he may have known that the matter of the Oroq Chamber of Commerce is a trap."

"Then why does he still want..."

"We are in danger of wealth and honor. Although we know there is a fish hook, the bait is too tempting, so we want to take a try." Shirley replied. "In this way, we may face a hard battle in the future. By the way, what is the price of fur at the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce today?"

"The price of fur is quite different, the price of rabbit skin is not high, while the price of mink skin is stable..."

"I don't want these detailed prices, I want the price of futures. What is the price of fur now?"

"Basically four silver olly per pound. This price has been stable for a long time. Although there are a lot of contracts on the futures side, it has not been fulfilled yet."

"There are two whole months left before the futures contract is fulfilled." After his subordinates left, Shirley was alone in the office, whispering to herself. "According to common sense, it will be one month to wait until he realizes the truth of the matter. In other words, the last month is for me, the moment of heaven and hell. Win," she raised her hand to the ceiling. "There is everything. If you lose, you will be completely finished."

The slight "creaking" sound of the door being opened in my ears. The sound was very small, but it made her jump up like a frightened rabbit. "Who! It's you, sister..."

Fana was indeed the one who came in outside the door. She was wearing a more common maid-style outfit, holding a tray in her hand, with dessert and tea in it.

"I'm scared, sister. Why are you dressing like this?"

"Because it's easier to move around," Fana replied with a smile. Although she was "talking", her mouth was actually not moving, and no one could hear her words except Shirley. "It won't attract others' attention."

"Where did you come from these things?"

"I made it myself. There is a kitchen on the first floor and there are various corresponding materials." Fana came to the desk and placed the drinks and snacks on the desk one by one. "This is tea produced in the south. It is of high quality and tastes very good. This is very rare. This is the first time I have encountered it."

"Sister, what are you doing! Just stay at home!" That's it, but Shirley didn't mean to refuse. The freshly baked snack exuded an attractive fragrance, which stimulated people's appetite. She picked up a biscuit and put it in her mouth.

"I also baked this very well, and added high-quality honey. I just distributed it throughout the building, and everyone said it was delicious after eating it!"

"What, you..." Shirley almost choked. "You made the snacks and gave them to everyone?"

"It was originally a kitchen material, and it should have been for everyone to eat." Fana replied.

"If you do this, what will others think of you! And what will they think of me? They will treat me as an ordinary woman...it will cause trouble for my management."

"But... I'm different from you. I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't do anything except this."

"You don't have to do anything! You just need to stay at home!"

"But, I really want to... want to help a little bit." Fana replied uneasyly. "Although I can only do something within my ability."

"You can't help with anything," Shirley replied without hesitation. "It has entered the final stage, and for me, the following is the moment of judgment."

"Month of judgment?"

"Judge my mind, judge my vision, judge the luck in my palm..." Shirley sighed. At this point, there was nothing he could do. The things that were eaten in her stomach could not be vomited out. "Two months later, the result came out." She looked at her sister. "Either I have real freedom and can control my own destiny from now on. Or I am in hell. There is no third possibility."

"Hey, is it that serious?"

"That's right." Shirley picked up the teacup and took a sip. The special smell of tea spread over the tip of her tongue, making her moan comfortably. "Because this time, I really don't know the depth of the opponent. According to others, in this case, it is not enough to rely solely on complete preparation... Behind this, there must be the favor of "Tianyun"."

This summer passed quietly like this.

It was not until the first ray of autumn wind blew across the treetops that the fur that had been forgotten by almost everyone once again attracted attention. In the blink of an eye, relevant news was circulating in the streets and alleys, and in fact, the price of fur has risen a lot in the slight fluctuations that almost no one has discovered.

This is a strange thing, because the price of fur in summer has always been constant. In other words, from late spring to early autumn, this price should not change, but this time it is out of custom.

...

"I heard that the price of fur has risen a lot."

"Of course, hasn't fur always been produced in a year and at a low rate? Last year was a year of high yield and the price was cheap. This year was definitely a year of low yield and the price will rise a little. But this time the price rose a bit unexpectedly."

"There must be a businessman's layout. Having said that, the 'futures' trade of the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce is really a new thing. Just predict the future price and you can make money?"

"Yes. But don't expect too much. Everyone is bullish, so you won't make a lot of money. Someone must be bearish."

...

Such rumors spread throughout the city. It is purely normal for a place like Brassian, where the commercial atmosphere is strong, at least no one can see anything wrong. Even now, no one cares too much about the mysterious new chamber of commerce renting in the office building on the outskirts of the city. At most, there is only a sigh of "Oh, that place was actually rented out".

The arrival of autumn is actually very sudden. In fact, all seasons change very suddenly. The weather changes from heat to coolness, which is not a long process, but is completed in just a few days. After a few days of cooling, the short-sleeved clothing of the residents in the city quickly disappeared like fallen leaves blown away by the wind. Outside the city, the golden rice ears in the rice fields clearly illustrate the changes in the season.

At this time, the sky was as clear as clouds, and a group of migratory birds flying south were flying through the sky, like several spots dotted on this canvas called "Sky".

Shirley withdrew her gaze from the window and turned to look at the subordinate who had just walked into the office.

“How is the price of fur today?”

"Sixteen silver ollies," the subordinate reported. "The rise remains strong."

Shirley looked at a large piece of paper hanging on the wall. A large table was drawn on the paper, and the daily price changes of fur were written on it. Her eyes were on the previous grid, which clearly stated the number "Fifteenth" on it.

Although this price has risen very high compared to the initial one, it is not as high as she expected. Are there many people who are bearish on fur? Or are there other reasons? In fact, in this small town, there are more than one person who buys fur like the Orock Chamber of Commerce.

She shook her head and drove this extra thought out of her mind. The subordinates who were responsible for monitoring Ash Rufate's actions had already brought sufficient news. Over the past period of time, he and his two fiancées spent most of their time in the castle. At least there was no such thing as "running around". This matter should have nothing to do with him. Besides, the price is still rising, right?

She walked forward and wrote today's price on it.

"And," the subordinate reported. "It seems that the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce has passed their plan."

"Oh, that's the futures trading thing?"

"Yes, they intend to carry out more detailed transactions. They no longer change the price once a day, but change at any time according to the buyer and seller." The subordinate reported. "It seems that they want to make a fortune, too."

If you conduct futures trading, you must pay a handling fee. Although the amount of a single transaction is not large, it will be considerable if you trade too much. It is obvious that the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce has seen that the fur trade will be popular this year, so it is planned to make more money.

"What a smart choice," replied Shirley. "Since they have done this, we must keep up. Someone must watch the price changes, and any changes must be recorded and reported to me as quickly as possible."

The subordinates left in a hurry, and Shirley looked at the price list. At this moment, the people in the Oluoke Chamber of Commerce should have noticed this abnormal change. First, a futures contract with "the ex got the wrong number", and then an abnormal increase in the price of fur. The people in the Oluoke Chamber of Commerce are all professional businessmen, and no matter how stupid they are, they will understand that this matter reveals something wrong. Of course, according to normal logic, they will first try to solve this problem quietly.

It should take another day or two.
