Chapter 147 Churchill, the God of Investment (Second update, please subscribe)
"Mr. Buffett, congratulations on getting the "Great Eastern", it is really a great ship!"

In front of the great shipping company, when David Duncan congratulated Buffett again, he had mixed feelings in his heart.Once upon a time, he really thought it was a great ship, just like the name of this company, a great shipping company.

But it turns out that the so-called greatness is just a joke, just like this boat and this company.They lost too much money on this boat, and now they finally threw this money-losing product, this troublesome product, to other people.

But just think of selling this great ship to foreigners for the price of scrap iron.His heart was filled with deep resignation, after all, this is the pride of Britain.

But what about pride?Still a money loser.

Buffett shook his head.

"Hey, no matter how great it is, it's just a loser!"

Great but not profitable, what is it if it is not a money-losing product?
Buffett's mood was a little heavy, like a continuous spring rain. When he was about to get into the carriage, he said to the employee Eke beside him.

"Eck, send a report to the company—the ship is in hand, send money!"

The great ship is here, but what?

But can it make money?
Buffett's heart was very heavy. Sitting in the carriage, he just smoked a cigar without mouthfuls, and his mood was complicated.

……

In the rainy weather, it is not suitable for ladies to go shopping, but for the jeweler Pepper, he does not worry about all this. His salesman will take the goods to the ladies' homes and show them the best jewelry.

Today, despite the bad weather, Pepper still came to the agreed place, a hotel restaurant to meet with the client, who might become his new supplier.The supplier was a young man named Brian.

"Deville Silver."

Brian looked at Pebble and said.

"Our company is able to offer it at a price 10 percent below the market."

"Is it 10% lower than the market price? Is it the current market price, or is it adjusted to follow the market price?"

Picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip, Piper said:
"If it's the latter, I think we can keep talking."

Deville silver, that is a rare commodity that is very popular with ladies. As a jeweler, he knows very well that almost every woman in London dreams of owning one or several pieces of jewelry made of Deville silver, and all of them have Rich people all hope to have a set of tableware made of Deville silver, so as to show off their wealth to outsiders. After all, it is a rare item that only the emperor can enjoy.

"Of course it follows the market price."

Brian smiled.

"And we guarantee that we can provide no less than 50 pounds of Deville silver every month!"

"What! 50 pounds, my god, is that real?"

Standing up abruptly, Piper said excitedly.

"If you can guarantee this supply, sir, we can sign an agreement immediately. By the way, how much can you supply now? 10 pounds? 20 pounds?"

God can testify that if there was so much Deville silver, he would immediately have the best craftsmen make it into tableware and sell it to the rich in London to have a set of tableware like the emperor of France, which is simple for all men dream.

For their dreams, they don't mind spending a lot of money.

"Twenty pounds, what do you think, Mr. Pebble!"

The world is full of surprises. On this day, despite the continuous rain in London, it is undoubtedly a good weather for Pepper and many jewelers in London. It is simply their lucky day. "De Vere's Silver"—a whopping two thousand pounds!
You must know that even French jewelers cannot obtain so much "Deville Silver" at one time. Its quantity is so rare that the world's output is only a few tons. Even after more than ten years, its Production is small, with most plants producing only a few thousand pounds per year.

"Your Excellency, look, this is a set of tableware made of "Deville Silver". Perhaps its color is not as bright as silver, but it is extremely light, which is its greatest feature, Your Excellency..."

Standing in front of John Winston Spencer Churchill, the seventh Duke of Marlborough, Pepper looked extremely humble, showing the tableware he had just made respectfully.

"Your Excellency, I can assure you that when you are entertaining guests, such a set of tableware will definitely make you the center of attention, just like the French Emperor Napoleon III!"

Faced with such a set of tableware, Churchill felt that it was extremely rare even if he was a duke. How could he not know that the French emperor had such tableware, and even his wife was made of "Deville Silver" The jewelry is actually just a pair of earrings.

It's just that their family is no longer as rich as it used to be. Although he was eager to have such a set of tableware to show off to outsiders, his reason still made him choose to refuse.

"Pepper, you know, I'm not a person who likes banquets very much. Such tableware is of no use to me at all. Besides, compared to it, I prefer silver tableware."

In fact, in the past two hundred years, the descendants of the Duke of Marlborough have never been able to add any glory to their family emblem.They have neither outstanding achievements nor any honors.After several generations of consumption, the Churchill family's financial situation has become increasingly difficult.Churchill's grandfather had a heavy burden due to the large number of children. The difficult economic situation not only made him develop a cautious and stingy character, but also forced him to sell his property.

Of course, Piper understood all this, but he understood the temperament of these nobles better. In order to maintain the dignity and ostentation of the nobles, they would squander the wealth accumulated by their ancestors without hesitation.So is this stingy Lord Churchill.

"Of course, of course, who doesn't like silver cutlery?"

Pepper laughed.

"However, Your Excellency, there are only twenty dukes in Britain, and I heard that almost every duke owns at least one set of such tableware now, because "Deville Silver" is so rare, it is like a nobleman's status The same, rare and highly eye-catching!"

When speaking, Piper said regretfully.

"Of course, it's just a set of cutlery, it doesn't represent anything at all."

what?
What can't represent anything!
As one of the only [-] dukes in Britain, since the other dukes have Deville's silver tableware, he must also have a set. It's not about money, but about the decency of the duke!It's about family honor!

"Pepper, keep it!"

While seemingly speaking casually, Churchill felt helpless. Thinking of the jewels in his family's collection, it seemed that he was going to sell another piece.

Oh, God!
Being a noble is really painful!In order to maintain the face of the family, this is the only way to go!
But he changed his mind, "Deville Silver" is so rare that it can be passed on to his descendants as a family heirloom in the future. Maybe his sons don't need it, so it can be passed on to his grandson in the future!
Well, it’s a good investment too!
