Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 57

“What? Don’t let aunt spend any more money. Aunt’s liver hurts when she gets married this time.”

Maria did spend a lot of money. First, she bought several thousand acres of land near Pressburg, and together with Schmidt’s original land, she left it for the eldest son of his deceased ex-wife.

Then I sent people to do the Austrian language training in the early stage, and it cost a lot of money. Now the official establishment of the Princess Maria Anna Teachers College is another sum of money, and it has to be invested every year. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a bottomless pit.

“Aunt Maria, if you say that, it hurts people. Isn’t all the money you spend on marriage that you should spend? With your wisdom, you won’t spend money randomly, even if you have a fever. If you waste money, can you still rely on me?”

Little Carl glanced at the princess and continued.

“Besides, although I encouraged you to spend money, I also made money with you. If you sold your stock in London now, it would have tripled.”

Give her a sweet date to think about first, anyway, she is not allowed to redeem it now.

“I want to make money with you this time. We honestly earn money that we can see and touch.”

“Don’t be fooled, you said that you took me to earn money from the printing house and newspaper. My son’s wife’s book was all posted, and the profit is not even a shadow.”

Thinking of the printing and newspaper industry, combined with the tangible money that little Carl said, she asked another question.

“What do you mean by visible and tangible money this time? And what does it mean that it has tripled in London? Answer the second one first.”

Only then did Maria’s mind turn back to the sentence she had already earned.

She is also smart, she pushed the first question away directly, you can stay where it is cool, the first question.

“Oh, okay, the investment you gave me to take care of, not to mention the fixed part of 15,000, the part of the 15,000 stock investment, we have already earned 50,000, minus my management fee and commission, you also Already made about thirty-five thousand.”

“You didn’t fool me, did you?”

Princess Maria couldn’t believe it. She was a top student at the University of Vienna, not a leek.

“Why am I fooling you, auntie, your assets have increased by 35,000 pounds. Of course, it’s paper wealth.”

“How did it go up? Tell your aunt that your cousin needs money to marry a daughter-in-law, and your cousin’s dowry also needs money.”

The princess said while stroking her stomach, he automatically ignored the “paper wealth” reminder.

“Okay, auntie, you’ve only been married for two days. Even if you’re pregnant, you won’t know until next month. Don’t pretend to me.”

Although little Carl talked to his aunt, he still explained to her a little. After all, he was an important partner and a local snake in Novi Sad. Although it was freshly released, his husband was the biggest military leader.

“Didn’t we say before that the opium in Britain was burned by Costin, and the two families made a lot of filth, and they even wanted to close the port and permanently cut off trade with Britain or something.”

Little Carl was going to tell Maria the ins and outs.

“Why are you talking about this? What does it have to do with me making money?”

“It has something to do with your making money, don’t worry, just listen to me.”

Carl was most annoying when someone interrupted and questioned, and he didn’t know how sincere those speaking people said, “If you have any questions, you are welcome to interrupt me at any time.”

“At this time, the stocks related to opium, the East India Company, and the Far East have all fallen into waste paper. I just entered the market and bought the dips. Oh, I’m so excited. I bought white flour at the price of cabbage.”

“What is the price of cabbage and what is white flour? You bought it cheap, right? What happened later?”

There is another life in this ditch. Curiosity killed the cat. Maria has forgotten her original intention. She was completely led by her nephew to run away. She didn’t care whether she ran away or not.

“I’ll wait for them to increase the price after I buy the bargain, otherwise it’s either white flour or rotten cabbage. It’s not a problem for anyone to store tens of millions of tons of rotten cabbage.”

“What are you talking about? You stock up on cabbage at home. Why didn’t I see what happened? Not in Schönbrunn Palace? In Belvedere Palace, or Hoffmann Palace?”

Princess Maria didn’t understand that little Carl was chattering and taking her around, and she was still looking around.

“Although Costin is not strong, Britain is strong.”

Little Carl sighed softly and continued without waiting for his aunt to ask questions.

“On April 7th, the British Parliament passed a resolution to take military revenge against Costin. All stocks rose, and the cabbage finally grew into white powder under the action of photosynthesis.”

“I had instructed in advance to sell it at the price. Sure enough, as soon as the decision to use force came out, those stocks related to medicine, anesthesia, comfort and pleasure all rose sharply. I made a big profit by selling it. Pen.”

“I didn’t invest in you at that time. Can the money I earn count as my share?”

“Thinking too much, Auntie, of course I don’t have anything to do with you at this time, it’s all my money.

“These pounds are all my surname, these golden pounds, their father is me, the great, smart, handsome Karl Ludwig Joseph Maria.”

Little Carl stammered vigorously.

“Then why are you telling me about it? I’m getting married, and I’m losing money. Hurry up and tell me the part about how I made money. Skip your story of making a lot of money.”

Princess Maria is now completely a money fan, looking eager to make money. She doesn’t care about other things, doesn’t want to ask.

“Okay, let’s talk about the part where you make money. During the two months when the British army was on the way to the Far East, the London investors slowly calmed down and fought back, but I don’t know if they can beat Costin, and the stock has gone up again. back down.”

“Then did you buy it?”

“Well, as soon as the London stockholders became rational, the opium stock fell to the level before Costin’s smoking ban, and there was even a retaliatory drop. I bought it again, this time with your investment.”

“Later it went up again? How much?”

Maria Anna, who lost money, doesn’t even pay attention to the calmness of the royal princess.

“On June 21st, the British Expeditionary Force, oh, the Retaliation Army, the British naval commander-in-chief Bo Mai arrived in Guangzhou, which is the southern gate of Costin, and the next day they issued a notice that they would block the Pearl River on June 28th. .”

“Block it, just block it, what’s the big deal?”

Princess Maria muttered, she has been led astray.

“On June 28, Elliot, that is, George Elliot, brought a fleet from South Africa to Guangzhou. Of course, he also brought his cousin Little Elliot, that is, Charlie Elliot, to perform a blockade mission and start shelling. Humen Fort.”

“I’ll go, bombarding other people’s fort is a blockade. Before that, Hai Dongqing didn’t say that it was blocking the port or something. Wouldn’t it also be bombarding its own fort and its own port? Hahaha.”

Maria was born and raised in Austria, she could still make fun of Costin. Under the influence of China Chip, little Carl could only sigh silently.

“As this information spread to London, London’s opium stocks skyrocketed again. This time I sold it again.”

“How much did you earn, is it my fifty thousand?”

“Aunt Maria, I want to emphasize two points. First, you only earned 35,000 yuan, and your money earned 50,000 yuan, of which 30% is my commission; second, this is all paper wealth, and only at the end of the year. The redemption period in late June has passed.”

“Then what if I redeem it now?”

“I will give you money today next month, and I will deduct ten points for the redemption fee. This is the price you pay for disrupting my investment rhythm. Are you sure you want to redeem? It is to give me a written request, and Get my written confirmation.”

“If I redeem 35,000 plus 30,000, then you will deduct 6,500 pounds?”

“No, I only deduct 5,000 pounds, and the self-financing is 10% of 15,000 plus 35,000. You lent the other 15,000 to me. I just won’t pay you the interest.”

“Forget it, then I’ll turn the other 15,000 into self-financing?”

“Auntie, although you are a smart person, I think you are investing for the first time, and you still have to worry about gains and losses. You must be clear, this is paper wealth, maybe you can earn one hundred and eighty thousand, or you may lose money. You don’t You should listen to these details.”

“Hey, eldest nephew, I just need to listen to the details. This will polish me so that I don’t have to worry about gains and losses. In addition, I don’t redeem or turn loans into investments. I have to calmly stick to my rational choice.”

The smart people of our Habsburg family quickly settled down, and they are still amazing. Little Carl commented on Princess Maria.

“Also, I didn’t earn that much this time. Your 35,000 was earned several times in total.”

Little Carl and Princess Maria emphasized that making money is not as easy as before, but they didn’t dare to elaborate, for fear that she would be jealous.

“After I was overjoyed, I was worried about Costin’s revenge, and it plummeted again, so I would buy it again.

“On July 3, the British army shelled Xiamen, and it rose sharply. I sold it, and then worried about retaliation, it fell again, and I bought it again.

“On July 5th, when the British attacked Dinghai, the London stockholders were still astonished. I still do this. The sickle and the leek work well together.”

Little Carl said this with a sense of revenge.

“Britain is attacking the fort in Costin, and I am harvesting leeks in London.”

“The tone of your voice is full of resentment and sometimes revenge. You have a grudge against Britain? It doesn’t make sense. Did you agree to propose to their princess? It’s not right. The queen just got married and has no children to propose to you. .”

Princess Maria’s brain is a bit big, and she is worthy of being the first iron of Lao Ha’s family~www.mtlnovel.com~ Britain is the most foolish, they were beaten by Napoleon in Spain, and they fooled us Austria and Napoleon to fight, Then he ran away, and his conduct was not good. “

Little Carl gave a random explanation.

“That’s because your grandfather’s level is not good. He doesn’t have a brain. He blames others for cheating. Why doesn’t Britain lie to me or you?”

“That’s right, the liar is innocent. Those who scold others for lying to themselves are out of 100. Your father is really not good at the level. I’m embarrassed to admit that he is his grandson. If there is such a grandfather, throw me away. face. Haha”

The two smart people from Lao Ha’s family are probably ready to become liars. They justify the swindler one after another, and even make fun of the Franz II guy.

“Oh, auntie, you made the most money in Zhenhai. Although Zhenhai is still a little far from the capital of Costin, it is very close to Costin’s largest economic center. So the increase is huge, and I throw away what I earned. more.”

“Of course, after it was thrown away, the London stockholders seriously thought that their own navy had run out of luck, and Costin was going to join the British navy, so it was thrown again, and I’ve absorbed a lot.”

“How dare you buy it? Shouldn’t it be safe to do so?”

Princess Maria asked.

“Of course they dare to buy it. The British army is still heading north, ready to attack their capital.”

Little Carl’s answer seemed to be grinding his teeth. He didn’t mourn for his misfortune. It should be anger and hatred.

I have to wait until they bombard the Daku Fort before selling it. At that time, it will be three to five times more likely, little Carl thought to himself.

Then, when they decide to negotiate, the stock falls back and buys it back again, and it will rise sharply when they really take over again.
