2979 Dark Financial Games
Eugene could enter and exit the Shapele Gate without any obstacles under the banner of casting cannons. The National Self-Defense Forces members did not care about the "rags" in the carriage!
A foot of rotten oil painting, not even a wooden frame, looks like a rag!
The dirty marble statue, the marks are full of sludge!
A whole car of swords? If you can't fight these medieval rags, you should throw them into a smelter outside the city and melt them!
God, there is actually a full-body armor of a knight? Even the full-body armor of a war horse in the past?
Eugene, Eugene, how long has your steel mill not replenished iron ore? Why do you collect all the rags from your own factory?
The ignorant people are innocent. Of course they don’t know that that one foot of oil painting is the original work of Titian! They don’t know that the Venus statue unearthed from ancient Greece has a history of thousands of years!
Although swords and armor have withdrawn from the stage of war, these palace goods record the evolution of human weapons history. These swords have masters, and each can tell a story of vicissitudes.
The shortest history of these rags is more than 150 years old. In order to continue working with the Chinese, Eugene and Andrew gave the quality of the third truck of goods very good, and almost took out all the pawns in the warehouse.
The goods of these three cars were sold to Sima Jack at five times the pawn price. It looked a lot, but it was not expensive to calculate the total amount. The three cars of cultural relics cost a total of 210,000 francs!
The full-body armor of Louis XIV era was a lot of parts, only costing 16,000 francs!
The original work of Titian was sold for only 3500 francs!
It is indeed cultural relics in prosperous times and gold in troubled times! You may not be able to buy these cultural relics with money, but in the historical changes of changing dynasties, they are as cheap as garbage!
Sima Jack was not afraid of these two people using fakes to deceive him, because he knew very well that such a headless business would be aroused by the head of state. He had ten thousand ways to get them to hell!
As long as you reveal the information about the enemy, the two relatives will have their heads cut off!
Of course, there will definitely be a part of the many pawns, but this is the inevitable loss in the business world!
Xiao Letian once calculated that as long as the proportion of counterfeit goods in these cultural relics does not exceed 30%, the final result will be a great harvest!
More importantly, the cultural relics market in this era is not as impetuous as the 21st century. Many frauds are not exaggerated. It is nothing more than the cultural relics from the 17th century who deceive you into saying that they were from the 14th century!
Qianlong pastels are sold to you as Kangxi pastels. What you cheat is just a sight. As for pure fraud, there are not many in Europe now!
The promissory note of 210,000 francs made Eugene and Andrew crazy. Standard Chartered, HSBC, Bank of Scotland... are all famous European banks. These promissory note are recognized as free exchange in Europe!
The bearded man in London once said that if capitalists have 100% profit, they will take risks, and if they have 200% profit, they will defy the law!
With more than 300% profit, they can trample on everything in the world!
This was simply a business without money. Eugene and Andrew took advantage of the historical opportunity of the plunge in Paris to start fighting for foodies.
The oil paintings collected by one hundred francs are already treasures from the Renaissance!
If you sell it to the Chinese, it would be five hundred francs, which would be a full five times the profit. They could not only trample on everything in the world, but they even dared to trample on God!
Reselling cultural relics is just a way to make money, and another way to make money is the secret underground capital pipeline!
All the cash trapped by capitalists in Paris suddenly found the secret circulation channel controlled by these two people, and now they are crazy!
At first, they borrowed Eugene and Andrew at a low interest rate. Soon, the two of them began to pay no interest and borrowed interest-free!
Don’t you just want the funds to be safe? I have a way to exchange them for promissory notes from British banks. Do you still dare to ask me for interest in such good conditions? Go dreaming!
Without interest, these capitalists flocked to them. They had no choice but to leave a safe retreat for their money.
Three days later, Eugene immediately changed the rules. Not only will it not be given interest if you send money, Eugene will also charge a 2% handling fee. Do you want to give it to it or not!
Even if there is a handling fee, these Parisian capitalists have to accept their fate! They still have money to rush into Andrew's pawnshop every day!
This formed a triangular cycle, where pawnshops purchased low-priced cultural relics from Parisian citizens, and then secretly transported them out of Paris to sell them to the Chinese in exchange for British bank notices.
Then these bank promissory notes were shipped to Paris to secretly exchange for cash from Parisian merchants!
With cash, Andrew can collect low-priced cultural relics in large quantities, so that the funds will increase wildly!
In this financial game, the poor get the cash on which they rely on to survive, ensuring basic food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Eugene and Andrew made a lot of profits and began to acquire other poorly managed pawn shops to increase their own industries!
Capitalists in Paris have obtained safe funds to escape the pipeline, while Chinese people use floor prices to acquire European art!
It seems that no one suffers the loss, the poor, Eugene Andrew, the Paris capitalists, the Chinese... all seem to have gained benefits in all four links, but who suffers the loss?
After all, if everyone makes money, someone will have to lose money!
Of course, France, the country and the nation lost money. The cultural relics that were originally priced at hundreds of millions were squeezed to the level of millions by this abnormal business model... This deficit can only be borne by the people of France!
Just as Eugene Andrew's business was in full swing, the direction of Paris changed drastically. Not only did the left and right not make the decision to take the initiative, but the rift between the two sides became even worse.
On September 15, the Central Committee of the twenty districts of Paris jointly signed a notice calling on the people of Paris to arm themselves and jointly resist the enemy's invasion.
It is also proposed that the city's materials be managed, defended, housing, food, medicine, ammunition... all resources should be centralized and distributed uniformly.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and the 26-member Committee was immediately furious. They angrily denounced the Central Committee as illegal, and this was a rebellion, and this was a conspiracy to free Paris from France's autonomy!
There are twenty districts in Paris, and each district has its own committees. Because these committees are selected by the people of the district, the working class with the largest number naturally has the advantage.
Chapter completed!
