Lynch didn't ask about things like luggage and clothes. These questions might be a problem for some people.
But for rich people, it was just a matter of a phone call.
Whether it was Anna's servant or the tailor shop that directly gave her her measurements, she could quickly get one or two sets of clothes for emergency use, especially those tailor shops.
Although it was rushed, it was definitely not bad. It was much better than ordinary ready-made clothes. This was the charm and effect of money!
"Don't you want me to familiarize myself with each room? After all, I have to live here for a while. I don't want to break in when you are taking a bath."
Anna smiled happily as she got what she wanted. Lin Qi noticed that she actually had a small dimple, but it wasn't very obvious.
Perhaps out of bad taste, Lynch didn't refuse and took her to the kitchen first.
"This is the kitchen!"
"Okay, I'll remember."
Then, it was the dining room.
"This is the dining room!"
"Okay, I'll remember."
Then, it was …
After going to every room, they came to the last room on the first floor.
"Is this the lounge?"
Generally speaking, such a big villa would have a place for the owner to relax.
It was not the living room, because the living room was used to welcome guests and socialize. The furnishings, furniture, and decorations were all more formal.
The lounge was used for people to slack off. There might be a sofa bed in it.
Many people liked the soft feeling of lying on the sofa. It was always more comfortable to sleep on the sofa than on the bed.
There might be a bubble cushion. Whether it was sitting on it, lying on it, or lying on one's side, it was a good choice.
There should be some other things. Anna had seen some good lounges. The place where she lived also had one, and it was very big. Sometimes, it looked more like some kind of business place. Brothers and sisters gathered in it to daydream or read.
She thought of many possibilities with some expectations. The moment the door opened, her smile and expectation froze.
There was a restraint chair and a small wooden horse that children would like. It was just that the carpenter might have made some mistakes when designing it.
For example, the unicorn horn was installed in the wrong place.
There was something like a shackle, which was only half a person's height. There were also some strange things that she had never seen before.
There were all kinds of scary props hanging on the wall, which made her feel a little scared.
"I didn't know …" She squeezed out a sentence, "That it would be like this!"
"Yes, I didn't know it would be like this."
"I'm very sorry!"
Such a private space should not be shown, and she was the one who asked Lynch to show it to her. Therefore, even though she was clearly embarrassed, she still had to apologize.
Sometimes, reason was just so unreasonable!
Her face was very red. Of course, she knew what she was doing here. She roared all kinds of vulgarities in her heart, and she even had to pretend to be embarrassed.
Lynch pursed his lips. "It's okay. Sometimes you might …"
"No!"
Anna interrupted Lynch firmly. "Never!"
Lynch laughed. He raised his hands as if he was surrendering, but also as if he was trying to comfort her. "Relax, no one will do anything to you. What I mean is that sometimes you might find out that I'm using it."
"So … you know, it's good to know this place in advance. At least you won't barge in when I'm doing something, right?"
Anna was so angry that she did not want to lift the carpet and crawl in. Smoke was about to come out of her head, but she had to nod and agree with Lynch's idea.
Fortunately, there was only one strange room in the villa, and Anna stayed in the last guest room.
Sometimes, other people would stay in the other guest rooms. It was not suitable for frequent changes, and it was easy to disturb each other.
Later, someone sent a few sets of new clothes. Anna seemed to have communicated with Mr. Patu. At least, Mr. Patu knew that she was now in Lynch's villa.
"She didn't tell me that she was going to your place!"
Mr. Patu's voice was as stiff as ever. His voice was like scraping a piece of hard metal with an iron rod.
It had a metallic texture, and there was no warmth in it. It was as if he did not need any anesthetic when the doctor wanted to cut off his leg.
"I hope she won't cause you any trouble, Lynch. Sometimes she can be very childish. If she's not good enough, you can tell me directly!"
This was Mr. Patu's initiative to call Lynch. It was not a polite remark, but his true thoughts.
When he knew that Anna had gone to Lynch, he first gave his daughter a very high evaluation. She knew how to choose the right person and take action.
She deserved a high score for this point alone.
Then he called Lynch. He had to let Lynch know that this was not a "conspiracy". This was not the result of his communication with Anna.
If this was only Anna's decision, then it was just a "child's trick". However, if Mr. Patu played the role of a "sage" and gave her some suggestions, then the whole thing was a bit different.
Lynch could also feel Mr. Patu's sincerity. At least, he immediately called him in person, which meant that this matter was indeed beyond his expectations.
Both of them were nobles, and the arrogant Mr. Patu disdained to lie.
Big shots often lied, and lying seemed to be their trademark. However, sometimes they also told the truth, even though it seemed like they were lying.
"You don't have to worry about these problems. I can guess some of the reasons."
Lynch's words made Mr. Patu feel a little relieved. His low Geffra accent also seemed to be more natural.
"Also, what do you think of the thing I talked to you last time?"
Mr. Patu recalled that he always had a lot of things to deal with. It was impossible for him to remember everything that Lynch said.
He was not young anymore, and he had to treat the elderly with some leniency.
About ten seconds later, his voice sounded again. "Are you talking about the silver mine in Marillo?"
Isabella said that the general had once found a silver mine and some red iron ore.
Because of the war, there would not be any large-scale war between the warlords at that time, but there would never be a stop to their petty actions.
In any case, as long as they could weaken the strength of the opposing forces, they would do anything and everything.
Mining was cheap and effective. Many mines in Marillo had been blown up, so after the general found these mines, he did not mine them.
Mining would not take long, and it was not cost-effective to use all kinds of machinery, manpower, and material resources.
This was also one of the bargaining chips in Isabella's hand, although Lynch did not think it was a bargaining chip.
Because the mines were in Marillo, in the general's territory, he could have drawn an area and sent some exploration teams to wander around. They would always be able to find them.
However, he still told the news to Mr. Patu. The Agincourt family had been in the mining business for more than two hundred years.
It was rumored that the Agincourt family was still using slaves on a large scale in the Federation, but people had never been able to find evidence to prove this.
However, judging from their attitude towards the natives of Nagalor, this should not be a rumor.
After all, the dangers of deep mining in this era were too great. If an ordinary worker died, they would have to pay a lot of money. If the one who died was a slave, then the risk was not so great.
This also proved that the Agincourt family was deeply involved in the mining business!
"Yes …"
Mr. Patu paused for a while. "This is not easy to deal with. Since two years ago, people have been speculating in silver. You know what I mean, right?"
"Now the price of silver has caught up to half of gold, and the silver in the market is still decreasing. Some silver mines have also started to reduce their production."
"Perhaps the price of silver cannot be compared to gold, but the gap between the two will infinitely shrink."
"Now is not the best time to mine silver. If news of a silver mine breaks out, we are likely to be 'besieged'."
"This is a game on the scale of billions of investments …"
"If you pay attention to this, you should know that there has been no silver mine 'discovered' in the world for two years."
"Everyone is waiting!"
Lynch sucked in a breath of cold air. He did not pay much attention to this, but he could feel the hidden murderous intent!
Billions might be Mr. Patu's "humble" way of putting it. Perhaps the funds involved had already exceeded ten billion.
At this time, if "we have an undeveloped silver mine" was exposed, the price of silver in the international futures market would drop a little, and hundreds of millions of funds would evaporate!
If there were one or two who could not hold it in and collapsed, it would directly cause the silver market to plummet. Whoever was the initiator would be their enemy.
Of course, this was only an ideal situation. In fact, it would not happen unless there was a bigger problem that could trigger a futures market worth billions of dollars.
At this time, even if dozens of tons of silver were thrown in, there would not be a drop of water, let alone a mine!
Lynch even felt that Mr. Patu had already entered the game.
"Mr. Patu, you know that I'm an outsider. I don't know much about these things."
"I have a question."
Mr. Patu was very patient. "Please speak!"
"When these people wait until they reach the ideal price in their minds, what will happen?"
Mr. Patu thought for a moment. "A small amount of normal market transactions, so that the price of silver can be maintained at a high point in the long run."
"Then they need to wait for some smart people. These people may be in Bupain, in Gevra, or some royal family, royal family."
"Then these people will pay for all the results!"
Lynch licked his lips. "Then is it possible for us to snipe them in advance?"
"I'm just discussing this with you as a curious learner. If we short silver in advance and then reveal that there is a silver mine here, what will happen?"
Mr. Patu thought for a moment. "The situation will not be too bad. The silver mine will turn into silver. Coupled with the mining speed and the final product, it can indeed make the price drop a little."
"If we stop it in time, the other silver mines will reduce their production and find a reason to reduce the mining speed. The price will not drop too much and will slowly rise."
"But if you do this, you will offend everyone, everyone who has entered the game."
Lynch laughed softly. There seemed to be something terrible hidden in his laughter.
"What if we find the largest high-purity Sky-dew Silver mine in history?"
"I'm not going to do anything. I'm just discussing this question!"
