I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 288 Coral Sea Company

Albert fired all of the firm's economists.

Although Luden was furious, he didn't intend to do anything to redeem it.

Money is a bastard, if you don't have it, you can still make money.

There is endless money in the world, and Luden is indeed greedy, but he knows very well what money should be earned by himself and what money should be earned by others.

He is willing to pay miners higher wages in exchange for a longer career and earn more value from miners.

Similarly, even if the economists get back their copyrights, there will be direct losses for Luden, but not much indirect losses.

These economists always cost money, right?
As long as they are still living in Fog City and within the company's business scope, the money in their pockets is only deposited with them by the company, and will return to the company sooner or later.

Luden is very confident about this.

In the past few years, the company has experienced sprawl, doing what makes money.

Seeing that the crisis was approaching, Luden cut off all the branch lines and kept only the main part.

In general, there are three aspects:

Medical, food and seeds, medical equipment.

For other branches, either a separate company was established for listing and financing, or they were directly sold by Luden and cashed out.

After this crisis is over and all businesses are withered, Luden can buy everything back at a very low price.

This little episode didn't make Luden's heart ache for too long.

On this day, Lu Deng brought Awu to the Fortune Exchange.

There was a lot of people here, people waved the bills in their hands, bought and sold non-stop, and occasionally raised their little fingers to show off to their opponents!

In Fubao Exchange, there are also some special traders.

When they talk to people, they always like to cross their hands, hide the little finger of one hand, cover it under the palm, or simply hold a fist with one hand, or put it in the pocket.

These people are more low-key, more cautious, less ostentatious, and look very reliable.

Many people like to entrust such a blessing agent, thinking that since they have suffered in this matter, they will not screw up a second time.

There is even a very strange phenomenon, some lucky traders who have just entered the industry, in order to integrate into the circle as soon as possible and earn the trust of customers, they will take the initiative to cut off their little fingers!
Rackley four hundred years ago never imagined that his small actions would have such a profound impact on the world.

Luden came here, of course, not to recruit a certain trader, but to renew a transaction.

"Mr. Luden, this way please."

The person in charge warmly entertained Lu Deng, took out the documents he had prepared earlier,

"If you continue to be short on the 'Coral Sea' company, you will need to pay 5000 pounds. To be honest, this is not a good deal. Anyone can see that there is nothing wrong with the Coral Sea company!"

The Coral Sea Company is a nautical company. It is rumored that they have opened up several routes, are responsible for transactions with the New World, and have the permission of the royal family.

Under the strong business performance, Coral Sea Company issued shares with a face value of 300 pounds!
This is not a small amount, and it is difficult for ordinary people to spend such a large amount of money.

The price alone has dissuaded many people.

Even so, the stock of Coral Sea Company has skyrocketed since its issuance, and now it has even reached a price of 1000 pounds!

To put it bluntly, Coral Sea Company is the strongest stock on the Fubao Exchange. Everyone is discussing this stock, trying to find ways to buy more, and the price has been rising all the way.
No one would short a stock like this!
Mr. Luden did this, and even paid tens of thousands of pounds for it!
Mr. Luden, who suffered heavy losses, is like a red-eyed gambler, raising bets again and again, refusing to face reality.

Of course, after persuasion, the person in charge earns a handling fee, and Lu Deng is willing to be taken advantage of, so he has no reason to refuse.

Luden signed the check, paid the due fee, and renewed his short-selling plan.

After Luden left, a subordinate of the person in charge walked into the office and asked curiously,
"That is the legendary and magical Mr. Luden, is he still shorting the Coral Sea?"

"Yes."

The person in charge nodded and said with a little disdain,

"He is not as magical as in the legend."

As long as people make mistakes.

Even Mr. Luden is the same.

The subordinate asked,
"What if he succeeds in shorting?"

"What if Mr. Luden succeeds?"

When the person in charge heard the subordinate's question, he felt extremely naive, and replied casually,
"Then he'll take everyone's money!"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment and asked,
"Actually, I have £500 in savings"

He wanted to gamble, to taste what it would be like to win all the money.

The days passed by.

It has been a while since Luden has been bearish on the Coral Sea, and he is still paying huge fees to maintain his short-selling plan.

On this day, everyone gathered for dinner to celebrate the birthday of the legendary 'El Isa'.

After lunch, everyone walked out of the restaurant.

A dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky!

A man hit the ground hard, making a loud noise, his body twitched twice, oozing black blood, and stopped moving.

Hannibal could diagnose the unfortunate man without stepping forward,
"died."

Several people raised their heads and looked towards the sky, the direction where the dead fell.

This is an eight-story building, not too high, but it can definitely kill people.

The cause of death did not require a diagnosis, and Albert was more concerned with another matter: what force pushed this poor man off the roof?

Luden didn't know the deceased either, but seeing that the deceased's right hand was missing a little finger, Luden knew where to find the answer.

He took out a shilling and tossed it to the nearest newsboy,
"Go to the Fubao Exchange and ask, what's new."

When the newsboy received the money, he subconsciously ran in the opposite direction, not intending to do anything for Lu Deng at all.

If you can earn this money without doing anything, why waste your energy?

Newsboys like him have eight hundred if not one thousand, and the other party can't find him at all.

If you want to blame, you can only blame this gentleman for being too stupid to pay the salary in advance. The little newspaper boy taught him a good lesson today, letting him know that people's hearts are complicated and society is slippery.

This shilling is considered tuition fees!

Before he could run far, Luden's voice caught up with him.

"I'll give you another shilling when I'm done."

"Okay, sir!"

The newsboy hurriedly agreed, turned around, and ran towards the Fubao Exchange.

Ten minutes later, the panting and sweaty newsboy rushed back, breathless and said,
"Sir, they, they're all selling shares in a company called Coral Sea, which some say is worthless."

Listening to the newsboy's words, Lu Deng nodded slightly, confirming the conjecture in his heart.

Sure enough, the first thing to burst was the bubble.

After listening to the newsboy's words, the group moved on, chatting with each other.

The newsboy was in a hurry, and Xiao Suibu chased after him, with innocent and watery eyes, he looked up at Lu Deng,

"What about the shilling you promised earlier, sir?"

"Oh."

Luden said frankly,
"I lied to you."
