Chapter 735 Gossip
"thorns?"

"There are not many people who use thorns!"

"Gafla's Catholicism... is somewhat different from yours. In religion, thorns mean 'punishment'."

"When priests do what they think is wrong, they whip their bodies with thorns until they think they have redeemed themselves."

"In the past laws, there were also punishments related to thorns. We would strip some people and throw them into the thorn bushes. As long as they can come out from the other end, they don't need to accept other punishments."

"In the various cultures of the island, the meaning of thorns is a bit too serious. When people think of it, they always think of crime and fault and punishment, so no one uses it."

This is also a problem of regional culture. The religious color of the thorns in Gefla has gradually made it a cultural symbol.

In many religious paintings, there are often pictures of God lying in the thorns and being stabbed with blood. The meaning behind these paintings makes ordinary people far away from the thorns.

Lynch thought for a while after listening, "That's it!"

"You have to think clearly, because once you make a decision, you can no longer modify it." Jenia still advised a few words, this kind of material that is too serious is actually not suitable for the design of the family crest.

It will make people feel that the style of this family may be too religious, and the struggle between religion and political power is not completely over until modern times, so... this is not a good choice.

What's more, for a period of time, thorns were also regarded as something from hell, because of its ugly appearance and spikes, it was believed that only where the devil was born would this terrible plant be born.

Either way, it's not a good choice.

"I think this is okay. I can't use roses and the like like others. Only by being different from others can I show my character. I am a member of the Federation, and I..."

"I understand, I understand, there must be characteristics and freedom!" Lynch was interrupted by Jenia before he finished speaking, and Lynch would often use these words to perfuse her.

It's just perfunctory. Whenever the two people's views are somewhat different, Lynch will talk about the things of the Federation.

Like something that advocates freedom and is willing to die for freedom.

There is even a child in the Federation called "I and the child's mother don't know what to name him". Yes, the previous sentence is not a sentence, it is a child's name, and this name is even recognized!

After realizing the strangeness of the federal people, Jenia has given up arguing with Lynch in some aspects, she can't win!
"Well, thorns, what else is there besides thorns, it can't be just thorns, right?"

Lynch thought for a while, "Flames, and gold coins!"

Jenia was completely speechless about the elements of the Lynch family crest. Although some people are using the flame pattern, it is definitely not a mainstream trend.

For the nobles, they are not too keen on various "natural" elements. The flame seems to be able to add some momentum, but it also seems that the whole picture is surrounded by flames and burned.

As for gold coins, no nobleman has ever used gold coins as an element in their family emblem. This is too vulgar. As we all know, nobles are an elegant and noble group. How could they do such a thing?
"I... have nothing to say, anyway, do whatever you want!" Jenia completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading Lynch.

With the help of a craftsman specializing in the design of family emblems, Lynch's sketch was submitted to the Privy Council. The nobles in the Privy Council were neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to Lynch's arrival. They were a little alienated, but not alienated.

It's a bit of a mouthful to say, just the feeling of being neither cold nor indifferent. This is because Lynch himself is not an imperial person, does not have the blood of the Gefra people, and secondly, he is just a small nobleman who cannot be inherited by future generations.

After he died, his descendants would no longer be nobles. For this last generation of nobles, the hereditary nobles in the Privy Council were too lazy to be enthusiastic.

On the way back, Genia suddenly asked, "You're going back soon, aren't you?"

Lynch has no reason to stay here after the knighthood is over, and he also believes that some people are not willing to let him stay.

He knew when to be silent and when to speak, Jenia sighed, "After all, we have to separate. After your badge and banner are filed, the Privy Council will hold an event as usual to celebrate you new nobles. You'd better wait Participate and then leave."

"The nobles in the Privy Council don't have much power, but their families have a long history, and they still have some influence among the people..."

Qinggui is talking about these people, who have no power but have influence, Lynch nodded, "I know how to do it."

The two ate some local specialty snacks on the side of the road. In fact, for Gefra, the land area is small and there is no real characteristic at all.

"Two days ago, you told me that there was a problem with the financing capital, do you remember?"

At that time, the two were dancing, and Lynch said something casually, as if he was just looking for something to start a chat, as if he said "the weather is good today".

The two held loosely fried potato cakes and rolled fish in their hands, and walked forward while eating. Occasionally, the eyes of passers-by on the road would stay on them for a while.

Eating while walking is not considered graceful in Gafla, and leaves food crumbs everywhere.

But these people don't care much about it.

"I said, I have seen how this company makes money, and the annualized interest rate is almost [-]%. Do you know the rate of return given by the most profitable foundation in the Federation last year?"

In fact, Jenia didn't quite understand what Lynch said. What she could understand was limited to some key words. She asked in a cooperative manner, "How much?"

"Less than 13.00%. Even though our economy has begun to recover, all foundations are still not very optimistic about the current situation. The lowest rate is only [-]%."

"Gafla's current economic situation is actually similar to ours. Both of them have encountered some troubles and need to adjust and get back on the road. But what kind of business can make a company's annual return rate close to [-]%?"

Lynch shook his head. He ate a few mouthfuls of the potato pancake roll fish in his hand and threw the paper bag into the trash can on the side of the road. The housekeeper not far away immediately came over to bring him a towel.

After wiping the corners of his mouth and the oil stains on his hands, he returned the towel to the housekeeper and said thank you.

"So I think there is something wrong with this. With the current business content of Yuanrong Capital, it cannot support such a terrible interest rate."

Genia shook her head, these words made her feel that her IQ was insulted.

She didn't have the nerve to ask questions such as "why the business model of Yuanrong Capital can't support its high rebates", but just stared at Lynch with wide eyes.

Lynch smiled, "I heard you bought shares in Yuanrong Capital?"

Jenia's expression became more vivid, and she understood the topic, "Yes, more than 300 million, it seems that it has risen to nearly 800 million now, and I heard from my financial advisor that the fourth quarter financial report of Yuanrong Capital will It’s good to see, and it will all be reflected in the stock market at that time..."

Earning millions in a few days, this speed is faster than stealing money, which makes Jenia a little obsessed with the changes in numbers after getting up every day.

Although she is a noble daughter of the royal family, she is not as rich as people imagined, because the money and power of the royal family are in the hands of the emperor, and members of the royal family only get some money every year.

There is not much money, which is why many royal family members are willing to show their faces. They need to run their own businesses, otherwise they will live in a mess.

Jenia's financial advisor told her that it was time to eat again, and she was very tempted.

But she vaguely remembered that Lynch had mentioned this matter, so she specifically asked today.

"You can wait, but my personal suggestion is to deal with it as soon as possible. This stock has a big problem."

He stood by the trash can and waited for Genia to clean up her hands and mouth before they continued walking down the street side by side.

"It has some huge problems of its own, and if it wasn't listed, so few people could see it, those problems wouldn't have been exposed."

"But it's on the market, and it has created many miracles. More people's attention is focused on this place, and there will always be people who will expose this lie because of emotions such as jealousy."

"Not to mention exposing the lies themselves, which can also be profitable."

Jenia nodded thoughtfully, "I believe you!"

Considering the money in her pocket, Jenia separated from Lynch halfway and returned home.

She called her financial advisor, who was employed by the Royal Bank, and the Royal Bank was owned by the Royal Bank. In other words, everyone was their own in a sense.

"I want you to help me sell all the Yuan financing capital in my hand." As soon as the two met, she expressed her request.

The financial advisor was a little puzzled. Yesterday they were still discussing the issue of adding stocks, and they were going to sell the stocks today. Something must have happened that he didn't know.

"Your Highness, may I take the liberty to ask, who told you to do this?"

"Or did you hear some information from somewhere?"

He didn't think Genia could make her own judgment, someone must have interfered with her.

Jenia didn't evade this question, and directly said Lynch's name, "I chatted with Baron Lynch about this stock today. He thinks this stock is very dangerous, and suggested that I not touch it for the time being."

"I thought about it, I've made millions from it and I'm very happy with that income, history tells us that greed doesn't end well, so deal with it for me."

The financial advisor was still a little curious, "Can I know the specific reason?"
