Chapter 58 Change the start of the world

In Winterfell, there will definitely be a steward or minion busy Enthusiastic to arrange board and lodging for Igor tonight, but this is Dragonstone. Stannis's dictionary may not have the word "kind" at all. Under the guidance of the guard, Night's Watch quickly walked out of the castle gate. Facing the dark night, the kind guard gave him a torch... Of course, the island There are no wolves and no Others, and for a Night's Watch Ranger, a few miles at night is nothing terrifying. Bathed in the bleak moonlight, Igor stumbled towards the fishing village on the shore.

The boat didn't leave, Igor relaxed, the captain and the old mine father and son were nervously asking what happened. Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth to the ordinary person in front of him, so he just found a wrong person. The excuse of misunderstanding perfunctory, took back the wallet, and went straight back to oneself's cabin.

Returning to King's Landing from Dragonstone is different from when you came - it is against the wind and the water at night, if you set out in the middle of the night, I am afraid that Dragonstone is still in everyone's sight until dawn. No way, the boat stopped in the small port of Dragonstone for another night, and it didn't set sail until dawn. Standing at the stern looking at the island that was gradually receding, Igor sighed: arranging the mining of the obsidian mine was a leisurely step. Chess, according to the original plan, all the follow-up matters will be handed over to the old miner and his son - oneself is only responsible for providing funds, and will not bother to intervene... Who would have thought that just such a short trip, He will also be involved in the contest between Vulcan and Cold God, and learn so much "inside information" from Melisandre?
Since I don't know the truth or the fake, let's stop thinking about eating radish and worrying about it. People have to live in the moment... It's time to do business.

＊＊＊

Against the current of Blackwater Rush rushing eastward into the narrow sea, the boat staggered and floated on the water for one day and one night before arriving at Blackwater Rush. By the port of King's Landing. Four days after leaving the capital of Seven Kingdoms, Igor set foot on the land of Westeros again, and after briefly explaining oneself's address and follow-up matters to the old mine, he entered the city from Mud Gate and returned to the Albatross Hotel where he stayed before noon.

Tyrion didn't actually go out, and immediately knocked on the door to find Igor when he learned of his return.

"I'm back at last! I'm not in the mood to go to pubs and brothels during the two days you've been to Dragonstone."

Dwarf's opening remarks left Night's Watch completely puzzled, but fortunately The other party quickly followed up and explained: "I have been thinking about the 'financial' you mentioned in the room, thinking about it over and over again, day and night, thinking about not being able to eat or sleep."

"Think about it. What's wrong?" The other party looked even more anxious than oneself, which surprised Igor, but compared to Melisandre suddenly calling oneself a heretic and grabbing oneself to bleed, this conversation was completely within Night's Watch's plan. If it was Eddard Stark or Stannis Baratheon and the like, it is estimated that they would not even think that the game of money would be classified as a scam, but Tyrion is different. The reason why smart people are smart is because they can objectively and rationally encounter new things. Look, this is also the reason why Igor likes to deal with the same kind-saving effort. "You must have discovered that if the Game of Thrones is to compete for the right to distribute the cake, then the game of money is to make the cake bigger. Which of the two games is more important and more complicated, but when it comes to the contribution to the world, the latter is absolutely necessary. Much bigger than the former."

"I'm not arguing, but you shouldn't play tricks and try to confuse concepts and get away with it, at least not to me." Tyrion was refreshed by Igor's use of cake as a resource. , but he kept it serious - honestly, oneself really doesn't fit the look, it's a little funny: "No matter how you explain or hide it, you have to admit it's a hoax."

Sure enough, I can't fool smart people. Four days have passed, and with Tyrion's brain, I can turn it around no matter what. Igor was a little nervous, thinking about how to answer: "Tyrion..."

Tyrion knew what he was thinking when he saw Igor's expression: "Don't plan a speech, just admit it."

"Okay, I admit it." Igor's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that if Tyrion was going to refuse to participate, he wouldn't be talking so much nonsense, his tone didn't seem to be denying oneself's fundraising plan: "Yes, I Trying to carry out a financial scam, in China, a man named Charles Ponzi used this move to deceive tens of thousands of people, so this scam is also called a Ponzi scheme.”

“He How was his scam exposed?”

“In order to compete with normal financial projects, he offered outrageous rates of return, but he did not conduct any real investment and operation, and even lavishly raised funds 's wealth - this leads to a rapid break in the capital chain. Until he can't even repay the promised return excluding the principal, even if the investor does not suspect, the scam will not continue."

"And I deduced the same." Tyrion raised his eyebrows, lifted the head, and solemnly announced: "Igor, I will participate in your plan, as long as you promise me three conditions."

Is that so? Standing at the door of an ordinary single room in the Albatross Hotel, Igor suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason. He realized that this unintelligible, straightforward and somewhat exaggerated conversation between friends was likely to affect the The future history of Westeros. He was stunned for a second before he came back to his senses step> nodding: "Tell me."

......

The first two conditions are easy to understand, under Igor's deliberate close friendship, between the two can be described as sympathy at first sight, short In just a few months, they are like friends for many years - but after all, they have only known each other for a few months. Tyrion is afraid that oneself will spend money like the ancestor of the Ponzi scheme, and even cheat a huge sum of money and run away... Igor does not have this. Plan, naturally agree to accept constraints. And King's Landing is the population and economic center of Westeros, and there is a prime minister from the north and a Lannister to help cooperate. In this case, it is impossible to raise funds. Can you expect to repeat the old tricks elsewhere?

Igor didn't hesitate for a second: "I agree to all reasonable requests."

"Very well," dwarf likes Igor's simplicity, he nodded, and finally has time to spare The adventurer friend who was looking at oneself again, frowned quickly: "Did you really go to Dragonstone, why does it look like you spent three days and three nights in a brothel, and you look so empty?"

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Igor couldn't help but keep thinking about what Melisandre said, trying to distinguish the truth from the truth... It's just insomnia, Tyrion doesn't even believe in the existence of Others--he doesn't believe in evil To a certain extent, the natives of this world are probably more thorough than oneself: "I'm seasick, I haven't slept well."

"Would you like to rest?"

"I'll make a list first. , you let Maurice and Jyck go shopping, I'll sleep for a while, and when the things are in place, everything can start."

...

"Very well, I I can't wait." Tyrion is like a child who is about to unpack a new toy, feeling that oneself has never been so motivated in his life, "The game of money... just think about it, it is more exciting than drinking and fucking women."

"Tyrion, you're the most adventurous Westeros I've ever met."

"humph." Just a spiritual 'Westeros man', this adventure won't affect my drinking, the woman will not endanger my life, I will find it more interesting than the latter two and dare to try... and have seen the world and crossed the Sunset Sea Compared to you who came here, I'm just an old hat in a corner."

"Hey, forget it, let's save ourselves on praising each other and whatever, I'll put everything right away. I'll give you a list of supplies, and in the afternoon, we'll start preparing for the issuance of Night's Watch bonds."
