Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 982 964. Candidates for asset management

"That hard-working kitten?"

Margarita asked, and at the same time made a gesture of casting a spell with her hand, which should have informed the kitchen.

It’s hard not to like Ello’s appearance and personality, and Margarita is no exception.

"Why doesn't it come up?"

"The flannel ball is sorting out its harvest. It seems quite obsessed with it." Lan En explained and began to take off his armor at the same time.

This is Margarita's room, so he always takes off his armor here.

After Lan En sat down, Margarita took the lead in raising the glass filled with Alfors red wine.

Seeing the teasing smile on her face, Lan En sighed, already understanding what the toast would be.

as predicted.

With her appearance, even this small gesture, which is not provocative in itself, will appear very flirtatious.

Tissaya, on the other hand, still appears to be self-disciplined and rigorous, even cutting the steak symmetrically.

A sorceress with good looks, high status, and huge wealth, and a poor witcher with only a face?
Why does it sound familiar?

"This cup costs several orens."

Margarita's voluptuous figure started to squirm with laughter as she spoke, like a beautiful snake.

"But apart from this person, what he said is correct."

After the quarrel with Margarita, Lan briefly talked about the exchange that Temeria's intelligence chief Taller had with him in the Dark Water.

Lan Enpi grinned at Margarita without a smile, which was a response to the sorceress's teasing.

And now, although the assets are still there, the interruption of the capital chain actually makes him feel like he has returned to the feeling when he first came into contact with Margarita.

The sorceress with wavy blonde hair winked at the witcher.

Margarita seemed to be listening to a story, holding up her red wine glass and taking a sip with interest from time to time.

"Oh, please haha, please forgive me, Master."

To be honest, since Lan En obtained the technology of Valyrian steel and developed the production technology, he has never felt shy about spending money.

"Taller, I don't have much contact with him." Margarita's face was slightly flushed due to alcohol. "I only heard that he is Foltest's right-hand man, and he is full of shit."

Margarita shook the red wine glass. On the inner wall of the glass, the Alverose wine showed a magnificent red color, and there were also red wine hanging on the wall.

"Cheers to our nearly bankrupt witcher master!"

He just raised his eyes or nodded his head from time to time to show that he was listening to Lan En's story.

"This is normal." Tishaya nodded indifferently, "Those in charge of intelligence can't be close to anyone, they can only be close to their masters."

"Forgive me, maybe you will never be able to drink this kind of wine again in your life of sleeping rough."

Lan En quickly shook his head. He was not a self-inflicted person like Geralt!
"Okay, now that you know what bad luck has happened to me now, let's talk openly."

"Ha~ha~Thank you for your generosity."

Margarita says that what the witcher heard was true.

"The capital chain of the personal fund you asked Silerton to manage is on the verge of breaking. The college's investigation is similar to that of Thaler. A group of news dealers and speculators with some reputation in the merchants' union are the suspects."

"And Thaler is right, you use financial means to deceive people, and if you are deceived, you may not know who did it."

"Tsk, tsk, in my opinion, those businessmen who are engaged in finance are no different from those who are engaged in magic. When we put a curse on people, we still have to create some conspicuous formations and collect some casting materials, those people."

"A company's shareholders can be deceived silently, and all it shows is that a few numbers on the exchange's listing have been changed."

"So," Lan's fingers traced the rim of the wine glass in his hand, with a smile on his face. "That's it? So simple?"

"A group of financial speculators and news dealers wanted to make a fortune, and ended up targeting a fund. Is it just an ordinary and logical financial speculation?"

"And my personal fund was targeted by this group of people just because of bad luck?"

This is a little too abnormal.

Lan En even felt a little amused by this.

"Of course this is not normal." Tissaya said lightly from the side.

She pierced a pickled olive with her fork and bit it in her mouth. She chewed it and swallowed it before wiping her mouth and continuing.

"Aretuza examined Siledon and found no interference from any supernatural means including hypnosis, suggestion, and potions."

"His investment behavior belongs to natural consciousness and natural choice."

"The same goes for the Chamber of Commerce personnel who had contact with him. Later we stopped the investigation."

Tissaya looked at Lan En's face seriously.

"You should understand our behavior, right?"

"Of course." The witcher nodded.

The difficulty of financial investigations lies in complying with the rules.

Of course magic is easy to use, but so is power.

Both of these things can make financial activities that should follow business logic controllable.

Who is the holder behind the equity, who is the funder, and who is the beneficiary? This can be figured out under pressure and means.

But the key is to understand the consequences afterwards. Of course, if financial activities are intervened by violence or supernatural forces, some things can be clarified and some things can be prevented.

But inevitably, this kind of violent intervention will affect business development and capital injection.

Destroy the trade development of a country or region.

After all, no businessman with a lot of resources in their hands would be inclined to invest in a country where the local assets invested could be interfered with at any time.

If you want to enjoy the development opportunities brought by finance, you must also endure the occurrence of financial crimes, speculation, and fraud.

For a power group, this is a reality that must be recognized clearly.

Therefore, when Aretuza uses magic means to confirm the background of some people, it is impossible for her to act unscrupulously.

The college's investigation into the use of supernatural forces was immediately terminated before the impact could spread beyond suppression.

Taller's intelligence department represents the power of the kingdom, so their investigations must abide by the rules. Of course, if the situation can be suppressed, the rules may not be followed.

But this time it was just Lan En's personal fund that had a problem. He himself did not show any hysterical anger and seemed not to care much.

Naturally, Foltest's intelligence officers don't have to work hard for that.

After all, the resources consumed to suppress the situation and the difficulties endured afterwards all had to come from the funds of their intelligence department.

"Okay. Ah~"

The witcher covered his head with both hands, and sounded a little helplessly.

"After all, nothing can be found out!"

It has nothing to do with personal ability. If you want to investigate this kind of thing, what you need is a huge force that is deeply rooted in human society, and strong control over this force.

There is no doubt that such a role does not exist now.

Even in Lan En's home world, the amount of telecommunications fraud and financial fraud committed by big countries is higher than the annual GDP of many small countries.

There are too many people who cannot be chased back.

And here, where the administrative efficiency and intensity were comparable to those in the Middle Ages, Lan En had no hope for this.

Margarita smiled as she watched Lan En covering her head and complaining, while Tissaya was much calmer and more rational in comparison.

Completely different from her students who enjoyed their looks.

"The lack of money in the operation of the capital chain is not a problem."

The former dean said calmly, and at the same time, she adjusted the angle of the used tableware, placing it symmetrically and neatly.

"Actually, if you wait a few days and your dividends from the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce come down, more than 30,000 Oren will be just a small amount."

Lan En shook his head.

"But the problem with the broken capital chain is that time and money don't match up. All my assets can be wiped out in a few days."

"So you need timely and adequate capital injections."

Margarita held up her wine glass and took a sip.

But at the same time, Lan En, who was sitting next to her, felt some kind of smooth and plump flesh part quietly crawling onto his lap.

The witcher glanced sideways at the blonde sorceress.

There is something in the words of the bridesmaids!

what's going on?

Are you asking your brother to sell himself?
Tissaya across the table curled her lips slightly, obviously she was very aware of her students' virtues.

However, this funding gap is not a big problem for the previous college, not to mention the new college that has added Valyrian steel business.

The Valyrian Chamber of Commerce is a swan that lays golden eggs making money every day.

It is said that the Witcher is about to go bankrupt, but in fact his current property is completely wiped out.

The dividends from the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce will also allow him to regain his previous worth within a year.

More than 30,000 orens, between Lan En and Margarita, this number can at most give them a new 'play' and 'interest adjustment'.

So from beginning to end, when this topic came out of Margarita's mouth, she was just teasing her little lover, and never thought it was serious.

"Well, the money issue is easy to solve."

Tissaya pretended not to notice her student's little moves, and unknowingly became part of Margarita's 'play'.

"But the key question is what I told you, Lan."

The former dean who returned from vacation said seriously.

"You need a dedicated asset management team."

"This time Sileden proved that he is a loyal friend, but his decision was wrong and caused losses. With your character, of course you don't blame him. But what about next time? Where are the others?"

"Don't use people from Aretuza, and don't use people from Giancardi Bank. Your identity is different now, Lan. You need someone who can manage your assets and repay your trust."

"I've been talking about this since the beginning of my Valyrian Steel career, but you didn't care. You have to take advantage of this opportunity and get it done."

Tisaya's words reminded Lan En of his student days, when he was picked out by the class teacher and scolded.

Unconsciously, the demon hunters sat upright.
