Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 72 The Street Is Not Peaceful

"Carter, what's wrong?"

In the living room, Carter's abnormal performance not only attracted the attention of Kazim's two brothers, but also attracted the three old guys who were smoking, drinking, and chatting about gang affairs in the restaurant.

Standing behind the sofa in the living room, looking at the frowning and pensive Carter, waiting quietly
"Ah? It's no big deal, but the rise of silver is very strange and unreasonable. But for us, it's also a good thing. If you have silver or silver jewelry in your hands, you should be able to sell well during this time." price!"

Sensing the suddenly quiet environment, Carter woke up and smiled, signaling to everyone that it was nothing serious.

The price of silver went up abnormally, and Carter dared to assert that someone was playing tricks behind it!Speaking of which, he himself had seen the New York Stock Exchange, and even did a little manipulation with Julian's help and guidance.

It is natural to understand that if you want to make a commodity, the transaction price will be higher.There is only one way, and that is to increase demand!As the demand increases, the supply side cannot keep up, and the unit price naturally rises.

It's easy to say, and the logic is simple, but will the market demand increase easily?There are only so many households and factories that need silver, and the annual demand is generally stable.It is simply not enough to double the price of silver in a short period of time!
Then this increase in demand is very strange.Even if there is a new factory that needs a lot of silver to be established, it will take time from the time you build the factory, to the increase in production, to the new production workshops one after another!
It is completely impossible to say that a large amount of silver will be used very abruptly at one time.If it is in China, there is still a slight possibility of loss, such as the construction of a key national project that requires massive silver support, so the price of silver has skyrocketed and so on.
But in the United States, this is absolutely impossible.This country naturally does not have such great organizational and mobilization capabilities. To put it bluntly, it is a mess.
At least before there was no war involving the mainland, I didn't feel the pressure of life and death.It is impossible for this country, and the people of this country, to organize and mobilize so efficiently!
Thinking about it this way, Carter's thinking became much clearer.Since real demand will not increase, what about fake ones?Who is going to create fake demand?
Speculators!
It could only be speculators, but this speculator, or in other words, this group of speculators, seems to be making a lot of noise.
"Did you, Gabriel, did you hear what Carter said? Do we have any silver in the house?"

After hearing Carter's words, Duke touched his chin, then turned his head and asked.

"Silver jewelry When we got married, you gave me a silver necklace, but the rest seems to be gone."

"Ahem. Take it first and show it to Carter. If it's valuable, we can sell it first, and we'll exchange it for a bigger one later! No, exchange it for gold!"

A silver necklace weighs an ounce at its worst.I bought it when I was married. Looking at Kazim's age, it is not difficult for Carter to calculate the approximate year and month when Duke and Duke got married, and the silver price during that time
Seems like only about $2 an ounce?

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be a bit of a drop in price, huh?No wonder Duke had a bit of embarrassed embarrassment on his face.
"Forget it, I didn't hear it said on TV, the price of gold is now more than $500 an ounce. If you have this money, you might as well pay it back to Carter. The bail is refunded, but the lawyer's fee is still paid by others. !"

Mrs. Duke went upstairs to get the necklace cursing, leaving Duke looking at Carter with embarrassment:

"Carter, don't worry, I don't mean to renege on debts. You don't understand if you live in the south of the city. Everyone in the west of the city knows that I, Duke, never owe anyone."

"Okay, okay, it's okay. Uncle Duke, I understand. Besides, Kazim and I are also good friends. I don't need the money urgently. It's fine when it's convenient for you."

Carter smiled and waved his hands, not thinking about asking for legal fees.In other words, Carter never thought about asking for this lawyer's fee at all. Using a lawyer's fee to exchange what Kazim felt owed to him in his heart was equivalent to getting the comfort of the campus for the next two years.

This business must be won!

In addition, after realizing that the price of silver had risen abnormally and judging that someone was doing something wrong, Carter subconsciously wondered, should he also get involved?
But soon, Carter realized that he had no money now!No, to be precise, there is no shortage of small money, but there is no shortage of big money.And there is no large amount of spare funds as the principal, so what is the use of investing a small amount of money, that is, doubling the increase in silver?
Twenty thousand to forty thousand?Then during the period when the price of silver rises and sells after the rise, should the whole family drink northwest wind together?

"That's it, Carter, let's see if it's worth it? If it's worth some money, you can take it and treat it as our family paying your lawyer's fees first. For the difference, Duke and I will discuss it later." Give it back to you little by little!"

Mrs. Duke, who went downstairs with the necklace, didn't even like Duke. She walked up to Carter, handed him the necklace, and said.

"No need, Mrs. Duke! This is your marriage memorial, I can't take it! I just said casually, if you don't want to sell it, you should keep it. Silver has a price, but feelings are priceless!"

Quickly pushing back Mrs. Duke's hand, Carter silently wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist.

I don't want this stuff!If you want it, it becomes a transaction, and I plan to use favors to bind Kazim, how can I accept the necklace, and, I don’t lack this thing, right?
Although the small private banks these days are not giants, their owners are generally among the wealthiest people in the local area.

The price of silver was not high before, and Jenny bought a lot of these useless things in Carter's view, not only her, but also Anna and Melis.

"Okay, it's almost time, and it's time for me to leave. Uncle Duke, Dulederick, and Uncle Barry, I'll go back first, and Jenny should be anxious if I don't go back. You guys play first!"

Pushing back Mrs. Duke's hand, Carter got up and twisted his schoolbag and planned to slip away.Knowing that if it was too late, it would not be a good thing to keep Carter in the black neighborhood, Duke didn't refuse, so he quickly sent Carter out of the house with two old friends.

Before Carter got into the car, Dulederic suddenly said:
"Carter, recently, close the doors and windows at night! The street may not be peaceful."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

This thoughtless sentence made Carter stop twisting the key and preparing to start the ignition.He turned his head suspiciously to look out the window.
"It's no big deal. Didn't we talk about the incident at the Alvik Beer Hall before? O'Neill's younger brother was raped. With his character, he will definitely not let it go. He may take someone to the south to find him in the next few days. Trouble with rednecks"
