Chapter 365 Prepare with both hands
On the way back, Mr. Truman saw a small roll of yellow slips that Lynch was carrying, and he asked in surprise, "Did you see any projects?"

He knows what a small yellow list is, and he is naturally very clear that Lynch is unlikely to be fooled in this regard. The only thing that may prompt him to buy these small yellow lists is that he found a project with potential, so he just Decide to invest.

To some extent, the yellow list is a carnival of a group of scammers, but it is not illegal in itself, and there are many legal legal procedures.

For example, when an inventor or promoter entrusts a stock brokerage company to issue these small yellow slips, he will sign a part of the rights transfer agreement to ensure that the person who bought the small yellow slips does have part of the rights of the inventor or promoter for a certain thing .

Lynch nodded, "There is an inventor working on a radio positioning system, and I think this system has great potential."

Mr. Truman nodded, "This is really a good project!"

Lynch glanced at him, "Your tone is not as reassuring as you said!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither continued to chat on this topic.

In fact, the Ministry of National Defense has already commissioned some military industrial groups to carry out research on the radio positioning system, but the current research results are not satisfactory to everyone. As long as the target keeps the radio silent, the radio positioning system will become blind.

There are even similar studies in other countries, and they all face roughly the same problems. Some people have even made reflection systems, but there are big problems with the accuracy. In short, these things are still under continuous research, and there is no actual value used.

Mr. Truman thinks that Lynch will not get any return on the project he invested in. As far as Lynch himself is concerned, 1 yuan, maybe it will be in vain, but there may be some satisfactory results. Unexpected harvest.

After returning to the city, the two left separately. Mr. Truman still had a long list of jobs waiting for him, while Lynch was invited to a small party, a capitalist party on how to further expand profits.

The organizers were Herbert, those crazy speculators who absorbed a large amount of bonds at the lowest price, no matter whether they were on the same side with Lynch's attitude or political position before, at least they are here after being persuaded by Lynch One side has placed a heavy bet, and now everyone's interests are aligned.

For businessmen and capitalists, political stance is just a means for them to better obtain benefits, and interests are the fundamental concern for them.

Now that the relationship between the Federation and Gefra is heating up, some content that was not originally planned by the two countries has gradually begun to negotiate, including the exchange of war bonds.

Gafla recognizes the legitimacy of these federal bonds and is willing to cash them out to a limited extent. For example, after several negotiations, they raised the repurchase price to 60.00% of the face value.

Although their attitudes have changed very positively, this kind of positivity is also disgusting.

People bought their bond for 100 yuan, expecting to get at least 130% return when the bond matures, and they promised themselves that, or even more.

But now, they are only willing to spend 60 yuan to recover these bonds, which means that each person loses at least 40 yuan.

In addition to the interest and derivative profits that should have been generated on the money during the long war, people actually lost much more than 40 yuan.

This is obviously unsatisfactory, but what is even more stupid is that someone actually started to ship a large number of them. They are afraid that if Gafla changes the policy again, these bonds will rot in their hands.

The shipment of these people actually gave Gafla a feeling that the price they charged was too high, so no matter what progress is made on the diplomatic front in a short period of time, it is unlikely that they will continue to increase the price of bond recovery.

And this party tonight is for this matter.

Lynch came a little late because of the exhibition, and when he entered the side hall of the Herbert Manor, all the people who were supposed to come were almost due.

"Sorry, I was delayed on the road." It was a very insincere explanation, but everyone accepted it.

In the federation, a society that respects economic power, wealth is what measures a person's status and value. If Lynch has wealth and a lot of money, he will definitely be respected by people.

"I'm waiting for you!" Mr. Herbert personally delivered a glass of spirits to Lynch. After thanking Lynch, he found a place to sit down.

Mr. Herbert saw that almost everyone had arrived, and began to talk about something related to the theme of tonight's meeting, "What I'm going to talk about tonight actually has something to do with Mr. Lynch..."

He looked at Lynch and nodded slightly, and then continued, "Preton Trading Company, or Preton Pirate Group, I have a piece of news here, and I hope everyone will not spread it."

After everyone nodded, Mr. Herbert continued, "Our bilateral relationship with Nagalil has made great progress, and it is very likely that we will be able to establish bilateral diplomatic relations after the next negotiation is over."

"The navy has also begun to dispatch, preparing to wipe out the Preton pirate group entrenched on the sea."

These news are not secrets. There is a very special saying in the Federation called "Congress has no secrets."

Anything that happens in Congress, as long as there is demand, it will soon spread throughout the Federation, and everyone knows it. As for the secrecy system or something, it is a joke.

Some people even use the vulgar phrase "the belts of female cousins ​​are tighter than the mouths of congressmen" to satirize those congressmen. Sometimes congressmen are not noble and moral people in the eyes of the public.

As a local, Mr. Herbert is also a speculator and capitalist. He has a way to get some inside information.

In fact, other people can also get it, so when he said this, except for a few people, most people were very calm, they already knew it.

But what Mr. Herbert said next moved some people a little. With a confident smile, he said: "But you may not be clear, standing behind the Preton Pirates is Gefra Royal Navy, there are rumors that what the Federal Navy is going to attack this time is not a group of pirates, but the elite of the Gefra Royal Navy."

"This is no longer a simple small battle to eliminate pirates, it is related to the strength of the relationship between the two countries, and..." He picked up his glass and took a sip, the fiery liquor made his body burn, " ...and the interests of all of us here, bonds, and possibly some other investments."

The expressions on people's faces became serious. Everyone was not a fool, and a fool would not be able to spend tens of millions to speculate on Gefra's war bonds like this.

But now, they did encounter some problems. Once the Federation Navy lost to Gefra's Royal Navy in a naval battle, the Federation's military power would lose its deterrent power, and the country's status would immediately decline.

Now Gefra is still willing to use 60.00% of the face value to recover those bonds, so what happens after the failure of this naval battle?

How much will they use to recycle?
50.00%?
40.00%?
Or 30.00%?
Maybe they won't spend a penny, they can just find any excuse that these bonds are all illegal, or refuse to convert them like they used to, which is enough to cost everyone here a lot.

Mr. Herbert's expression also became serious, "Now we are faced with a difficult decision, whether to exchange the bonds or take a gamble."

If those bonds are exchanged at the current price officially given by Gafla, they will definitely not lose money, and they can even earn about 20.00% to 30.00%, which refers to their total investment income.

But these benefits are not equal to their previous risk-taking behaviors. They took huge risks for greater benefits, but now the problems have become troublesome and the gambling is even bigger.

The Baylor Federation has never demonstrated its war strength on the international battlefield. Some capitalists in the Federation, including Mr. Herbert, do not think that the Federation Navy, which has not experienced real wars, can fight against the Geff Pull the Royal Navy.

Many people are pessimistic and believe that this war will be a turning point in history. This is why the Welsh MPs will oppose this war and some people will support him.

"We have a large number of bonds in our hands. I haven't done anything during this period. I have contacted Gafla's second finance minister through some connections..."

Although Gefra is a monarchy country, its political system is actually not much different from the federal democratic countries, except that their king (president) is hereditary and has high power.

The Second Minister of Finance is equivalent to the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance of the Federation. It is also a very important position, and it also has a lot of power in its hands.

Mr. Herbert must have paid a very high price to be able to contact such a person with real power. You must know that in Gafla, power is easier to use than money. Power can bring wealth, but wealth cannot be exchanged. Come to power!

His gaze traveled over the faces of every lady and gentleman in the room, and his slow pace and clear enunciation made sure no one misheard what he had to say.

"He said that he could find a way to promote a proposal to discount this part of the bonds in our hands in the form of 'forging', or in exchange for some convenience!"

"This method is honestly not the same as our original plan, but this is the safest way I can find under the current situation, ensuring that we have enough profits without taking more risks!"

I have to say that this is a brilliant idea, and it immediately attracted a lot of people.

After a short thought, someone asked, "What are we giving?"
