Mr. Patu discovered some clues from his friend's words that sounded like a complaint and a boast at the same time. It had to be said that any successful person, especially someone as successful as Mr. Patu, didn't have everything they had now by luck.
He looked at Lynch with bright eyes. He was sure that he didn't guess wrong. A confident smile appeared on his face.
"You have a keen sense of smell, Mr. Patu!"
Lynch didn't admit or deny it, but his attitude had already explained everything.
Mr. Patu put away his pride and arrogance at this time, nodding slightly humbly to show his response to Lynch's praise.
Of course, he also admitted it very immodestly.
The people of the Federation were like this. This was one of the important cultures of the Federation, which emphasized self-confidence.
This kind of thing could be hidden from ordinary people, but it couldn't be hidden from the head of a top financial group like Mr. Patu. Their connections could easily get more real insider information from some of the participants.
The reason why he still needed his assistant to analyze the situation for him was purely because he couldn't return to the Federation to use his network of contacts. In the following week, during the board meeting, he might come into contact with similar content that was related to the Federation.
If he didn't know what kind of insider trading was going on, he might be very passive.
This also made him wonder if the purpose of his friend from the bank revealing this information was intentional or unintentional.
However, he felt that it was more likely to be a hint. He also prepared a touching thank you letter for this friend who "accidentally" leaked the information. He was sure that the other party would be satisfied.
Mr. Patu was sitting with Lynch at this time because of his doubts. "Why you?"
"I admit that you are very outstanding, Mr. Lynch, but why you? I'm very confused, do you know?"
Mr. Patu's expression was just like the question he asked, full of curiosity.
In his opinion, Lynch wasn't a real social celebrity. Although the media was praising him now, it would take many years for him to grow to the same height as himself, Mr. Vaudric, and the heads of other financial groups.
Sometimes, this society was so unfair. No matter how good a person from the bottom did, he wouldn't be recognized and valued by the upper class of society. They would only think that … well, he was lucky.
They weren't even willing to admit it, let alone give a young man from the bottom of society a chance. They would only give the opportunity to their own people, or to people from the upper class.
However, Lynch did join in. This was what made Mr. Patu most curious. How did he join in? Even Mr. Patu himself was an outsider, so why was Lynch an insider?
Lynch touched his cheek. "Maybe I'm more handsome?"
He could understand what Mr. Patu meant, but he didn't want to tell him the real cause of this matter — it was him.
He was the one who talked about the financial war with Mr. Trumann, and he was the one who first advocated an economic war with the world in Buen. These things brought him a lot of positive influence, because his statements were proven in diplomacy one after another, making his theories very authoritative.
Therefore, Mr. President, Mr. Trueman, and even more high-ranking officials of the federation began to pay attention to some of his theories, and with some of his theories as the foundation and core, they pushed forward the development of the entire incident. He also participated in this.
The reason he didn't want more people to know about his role in these things was that he was too young.
Youth was his greatest asset. It gave him time to develop his own forces and allowed him to outlast all his opponents. However, youth was also his greatest shortcoming.
Although the Federation had never recognized the Federation as a country that paid attention to seniority, and there were many young officials in the Federation government, Lynch was too young.
Mr. Trumann kept trying to rope him in, hoping that he could enter the political world, preferably as Mr. Trumann's deputy, in addition to really needing Lynch's intelligence and his unusual brain circuit, it was also a preventive measure.
If he kept him by his side, when he had any terrible plans, he could stand up in time to stop him. He had begun to be a little "valued."
Most people in the outside world didn't know that the core cause of what they were doing was Lynch's lobbying, which made Mr. Patu very confused. Why Lynch, and not himself?
Lynch's seemingly joking answer made Mr. Patu understand that Lynch didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. Pursuing the matter would not yield any results, and it might even cause a conflict with Lynch.
Before he could figure out who Lynch was, or how he joined in, Mr. Patu didn't want to have any conflict with Lynch. On the contrary, he felt that Lynch was more interesting and worth investing in.
"Destroying the currency system of Najalil is a very interesting and valuable practice. I heard that some people there have begun to use the Federation currency habitually?"
Ignoring the question that Lynch was unwilling to answer, the conversation continued.
Lynch began to process the food in front of him again, nodding as he processed. "Compared to Najalil, which may fluctuate unexpectedly every day, holding the Federation's Sol is the most stable way, and Sol is also appreciating."
He speared a piece of beef with a fork and nodded with satisfaction. "Kurlic's beef. They shouldn't be having a good time this year."
The sudden change of topic did not mean that Lynch did not want to talk about it in depth. It was just that he had a feeling.
Kurlic's beef was one of the top breeds of beef in the world. On one hand, this beef was an excellent breed, and on the other hand, it had something to do with the environment there.
There was almost no industry in agriculture and animal husbandry. The country focused on cultivating all kinds of excellent beef and occupied the world's high-end beef market.
But with the Federation's economic problems, their beef had become unsaleable.
Various countries had put their resources into development and reconstruction, and orders had dropped sharply. It was almost impossible to eat this kind of beef in ordinary restaurants in the past.
If you didn't have a four or five thousand ticket, you could forget about eating Kurlic's beef.
Mr. Patu wasn't anxious at all. He nodded and said, "The price of beef has dropped a lot this year. I heard that they've bred a new breed of beef for food. It has better genes and there are fewer of them. They're not allowed to leave the country alive. They're only sold to individuals and organizations on their list of important customers."
"What a gimmick!"
Lynch picked up his glass and took a small sip. The refreshing wine washed away the remaining gravy and oil stains in his mouth. He put down the glass and said, "As long as you have money, you are their important customer."
The two looked at each other and smiled. No matter who it was, as long as they could come up with an order, they could do whatever they wanted.
The two naturally returned to the previous topic. Lynch fiddled with the food on his plate. He had a great appetite. "Nagil does not have an advantage in the international foreign exchange market. It also lacks weight. If we hold a large amount of Nagil for a long time, it will cause us a lot of extra losses. You know what I mean, right?"
Mr. Patu nodded and said, "Yes, I know. We now have about 800,000 Nagil employees. We have to pay about 500 million Nagil every day for these people. It is also troublesome to exchange foreign exchange."
This number sounded a little scary, but this was what was happening. At the same time, it was something that people did not notice.
For example, Lynch had a large group of Nagil natives under his command, let alone the entire joint development company. This also made Mr. Patu react quickly.
He frowned and lowered his head slightly to think. After about a minute or two, he gradually relaxed his brows. "I think I understand a little. The circulation of Nagil is limited …"
Lynch nodded in agreement. Although the population of Nagil was large, there were not many currencies issued. This phenomenon was caused by the fact that many people at the bottom still lived in the social mechanism of barter.
They did not have a way to obtain currency, and their lives did not need the support of a monetary system. So for this strange country, currency was actually a value object that circulated among the upper and middle class of society. This also indicated that the circulation of Nagil's currency would not be particularly large.
Once the joint development company deepened the development of the country, they would definitely face a problem, and that was a shortage of currency.
For a period of time before Nagil started printing money crazily, the exchange rate of Nagil would rise due to the shortage of currency. As we all know, currency is actually a commodity. It is just a standard used to reflect value.
A shortage of currency means that the exchange rate will rise. In the process, if the Nagil government suddenly increased the printing on a large scale, the Federation would suffer a lot.
Coupled with the long-term volatility of the currency exchange rate causing internal and external trade problems, all of this was not in the interest of the Federation, so they might as well replace it.
But this kind of thing was unlikely to happen on the surface. You could not tell those in power in Nagil, hey, from today onwards, we are going to abolish the legal status of Nagil. You must use the Federation sol as the only legal currency in circulation. That was impossible.
In the eyes of many people, Nagil was a piece of waste paper. But even the distribution rights of this kind of waste paper could not be given up casually. Instead of going back and forth on these issues and suffering losses, it was better to get it done once and for all.
There was nothing simpler than completely destroying the currency system of Nagil, without even a transition, and directly using the Federation sol!
As for the interests and rights of the people of Nagil?
Didn't you see so many exchange banks at the entrance of the bank?
The opportunity had been given to them. If they could not grasp it, then it was their own problem!
