Fox of France

　　 Joseph listened, but didn't panic. He just frowned and thought about it, and then said: "Lazar, it's not convenient to talk here. Go talk to my office."

　　 Joseph and Kano entered the office together.

　　 Kano sat down at the table next to Joseph's desk, Joseph went to close the door first, and then sat down in front of Kano.

　　 "Lazar, has someone already purchased the certificate of deposit from Claviere Bank at a discount?" Joseph asked.

"You know about this? Yes, someone is already buying a certificate of deposit from Claviere Bank at a 30% discount. Joseph, you said I should sell a little. To be honest, I lost 3% for nothing. Ten, I am very unwilling. But I am also worried that if it continues, the loss may be even greater." Kano said with a frown.

　　 Joseph did not answer, but instead asked: "Lazar, do you have any spare money?"

Kano didn’t follow Joseph’s thoughts at all. He thought that Joseph wanted to support him, so he said, “It’s not much money, but it’s enough to support life temporarily. Joseph, I remember that there are several brothers in your family who want you to pay— Of course, Napoleon can help you a little now..."

　　 "Lazar," Joseph smiled, "Thank you for your concern, but, I think, maybe you have misunderstood what I meant."

　　 Having said that, Joseph looked to both sides-the door was closed, and there was no one in the office except them. So he lowered his voice and continued:

"Lazar, I mean, if you have money for activities other than supporting your basic life, including those in other banks, you can withdraw all the money you can get, and then try to buy carats as much as possible. The certificate of deposit from Viel Bank."

　　 "What?" Kano opened his eyes and stared at Joseph. Finally, he stretched out his hand, trying to touch Joseph's forehead, "Joseph, are you ill?"

"Don't worry, I'm not sick." Joseph said, "Lazar, if the bank will be affected by the rebellion in some places, does anyone know better than us? To what extent are the rebellions in various places? Don’t we know? Lazar, in this period of time, there have been more rebellions in various places than in previous months?"

　　Speaking of which, Kano seems to understand a little bit: "The rebellion in the past few months has been a little bit more, but not too much."

"Yeah, this situation of rebellion everywhere has lasted for almost a year? During this year, Mr. Clavière should have been quite familiar with this kind of market situation, although Mr. Clavière cannot be said to be true. Alexander the Great in the financial world, but at least also a Viscount Tirena (in the Thirty Years War, the French general. Known as the sharpest sword in France during the Louis XIV period.). To say that he suddenly became so common. Sudden risks have caused the bank to face bankruptcy and fail to cash out deposits. Lazar, do you think it is possible?

　　 "Joseph, are you saying that these legends are false? Claviere Bank has not encountered any crisis at all? What is the purpose of Mr. Claviere doing this?" Kano still did not understand.

"Because a large part of the people who are buying the certificates of deposit are Mr. Claviere's people! You wait, before long, the purchase price of the certificate of deposit will become 40% or even 10% off. Claviere Mr. Er bought back the deposit certificate at such a price, and then the deposit certificate can be accessed normally, and then...Need more to say?" Joseph said.

"This...this is okay?!" Kano trembled all over, he clenched his fists tightly, stood up and said, "This...isn't this...is robbing the people? Is there a king's law? Is there a law?"

　　 "Lazar...Lazar, don't be so excited, let's...don't tell me, it really doesn't violate the law." Joseph also stood up, trying to comfort Kano.

　　 "No! I can't just watch such a black-hearted thing!" Cano said, "Joseph, let's go to the general together. He should have a way to stop such a thing."

　　 Joseph looked at Kano's indignant look, knowing that he couldn't hold him back, but he didn't want to go to Lafayette with Kano. This kind of thing that blocks people from making money is quite close to blocking a train in terms of risk index.

"Lazar, calm down." Joseph said. "You think the general doesn't know that things like this are everywhere in Paris? Do you think the general will take care of these things? Mr. Clavière is an influential and decent man. In order to control the current situation, the general needs the support of Mr. Clavière and a large number of people like him in many places. If the general stands up to stop this, he will stand on the opposite side of such a large group of people. If the general really wants to do this, it will offend many people, and it will cost a lot in politics. Your Excellency, it is impossible for him to stand up and stop this."

　　 Kanuo was stunned, and he could see that he was very hesitant. Finally, he said: "Joseph, what you said may make sense. But I will not try, and I will never be reconciled."

　　 "Then I will go with you." Joseph said.

　　 Joseph certainly knew that Lafayette already had opinions about him. If he went with Kano at this time, Lafayette would probably think that he was instigating Kano to general his army. But anyway, I had already offended Lafayette, and Lafayette didn't seem to be someone who would hang people up on the street, and he didn't care to offend him again. But by doing this by himself, Kano must be able to see the pressure he is under—Kano is not a fool who doesn’t understand the world, he just didn’t think in that direction before, and now that he realizes the problem, he naturally understands The cherishment of friendship and support for him that I showed when I went with him. In Joseph's view, it would actually be a good deal to gain Kano's friendship at the cost of further offending Lafayette.

But at this time, Kano had calmed down. He thought for a while and said, "Joseph, don't go. There have been some misunderstandings between you and the general. If you go now, the general may have more of you. Misunderstanding. Let me go alone."

　　 "Lazar..." Joseph said.

　　 "I'll be back in a while, let's discuss it." Kano patted Joseph on the shoulder, then turned around and walked out.

　　 Joseph sighed, then sat down behind his desk and started to work.

　　 About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside.

　　 "The door is unlocked, please come in." Joseph looked up from the copy and saw Kano open the door and walk in.

　　 Joseph stood up and greeted him, and when Kano entered the door, he closed it.

　　 "How is it? What did the general say?" Joseph asked.

　　 "As you estimated. Of course, his reason is that I have no evidence." Kano shook his head.

　　 Both of them were silent for a while. Then Kano opened his mouth and said: "Joseph, you just mentioned that we can buy those deposit certificates? Well, how much money can you get here?"

　　 "Lazar, you?"

"Instead of letting the guys with dark conscience get away with the money, it's better for us to withhold some of it. The money is in our hands, anyhow we can do something good, and in the hands of people like Clavière, it can only hurt more. "People." Cano said, "I used to watch "Friends of the People", and the man named Mara yelled that he wanted to put one of those bankers on the street lamp. I still think he is too extreme. It seems that what this guy said is not entirely unreasonable. Our current government is too tolerant to these people!"

　　To be honest, Kano is not proficient in how to make money. But Kano's mathematics level is very high, some problems, as long as a little thorough, he understands quickly. In the end, Kano said to Joseph: "Joseph, I can probably take out four thousand livres. But I am too busy now. I will give you the money, and you will help me operate it."

　　 "Lazar, you are very busy, am I not busy?" Joseph said.

"Come on, Joseph." Kano said, "Your current workload is almost half less than when you were in charge of the Red Army. You had time to write a thesis at that time. Now you tell me nothing time?"

　　 "Maybe I am chasing a little girl?" Joseph said.

　　 "Really? Well, what kind of girl is it?" Kanuo believed it to be true~www.novelmtl.com~No, no. I just talk about it casually. "Joseph quickly denied.

"Ah. Then why don't you have time? Well, speaking of it, you really should find a little girl. Why, to such an outstanding young man as you, has no girl fallen in love with you yet?" Kano said. Do you want me to introduce one to you?"

　　 "Forget it." Joseph said, "At least until the crisis in France really stabilizes, I don't think it's time to talk about love."

From Kano, Joseph got four thousand livres, and then he borrowed six thousand livres from Lavoisier-well, it was Lavoisier, not his nephew-there, Coupled with the original five thousand livres in his hand, he made up fifteen thousand, and then began to devote himself to this speculative activity.

　　 The subsequent development is as expected by Joseph. In the next half month, the deposit certificates of Clavière Bank were quickly discounted in the market, first at 20%, then at 30%, and at 40%. Finally, a panic was formed, and even fell below the second discount, the least valuable. At that time, the price of the certificate of deposit was only about 14% of the book value.

　　 Joseph, not very greedy, slammed in when the deposit slip was 20% off, and replaced the 15,000 livres in his hand with the deposit slip of 75,000 livres. A few days later, Mr. Clavière announced that he had survived the crisis and can now fully pay all the certificates of deposit. The deposit certificate in Joseph's hands that expected five thousand livres had really become seventy-five thousand livres. Take away the 20,000 to Kano and return the 6,000 (including interest) to Lavoisier. In silence, Joseph earned himself 44,000 livres.

　　 "In chaotic times, it's really too easy to grab money." Joseph exclaimed, "No wonder someone has to grab one at the risk of going to the guillotine."
