123 – Stocks (1)
The contract, which was close to a slave contract, was later decided by Kara to be revised again.
Fortunately, she didn’t find out that she had invested in Jane, but she apparently thought it was a joke on her part.
Even if it were me, I wouldn’t have believed her if she had signed a voluntary slave contract. I wonder what Jane would feel if she knew this.
“Did you make a good investment?”
“Yes. Here’s the contract.”
“······Did you at least purchase slaves?”
Even Rize saw the contract and thought it was a slave contract.
Furthermore, she went even further and, thinking that I had been scammed, gave me various warnings.
Slavery has long since been abolished in this world, and naturally, this is completely illegal. This means that the contract has no effect at all.
From Rize’s point of view, she would not only think of her as a fraudster who was not only defrauded but also put on the verge of expulsion from school. I rebutted a little here.
“They’ll give you a mechanical arm. You just have to wait.”
“Brother Sivar. People who have been scammed have that mentality. It would be better to give up the mechanical arm.”
“It’s true.”
“It’s okay. That can happen. This is also a process of getting to know the world.”
Lize patted my shoulder with a pitiful look. It seems like they really think I was scammed.
I don’t think it would be a bad idea to introduce Jane to Rize sometime soon. Geeks must have something in common.
Anyway, after some desperate persuasion, I decided to take charge of the bank account management. Instead, they asked me to tell them in advance where the money would be spent.
It was okay to that extent, so I allowed it. Anyway, I already decided where to invest my money next.
‘How can I get into stocks naturally?’
Stocks are an investment tool that can make you a fortune in an instant if you are lucky, whether on Earth or in this world.
On Earth, the stock structure was too complex, but this world is as simple as the times.
However, the inherent complexity remains the same. Even the famous Isaac Newton was bitten so badly that he lost all his money.
‘In this world, stocks appear quite quickly.’
This is a world where not only trade using the sea but also land cannot be said to be safe.
Monsters, demons, thieves, etc. It is difficult to handle the risk through trade alone.
Moreover, there are rare minerals like magic stones, and because there are steam locomotives, coal is also needed.
Above all, silver, gold, diamonds, etc. If valuable ores are discovered, great profits can be made.
‘It’s not urgent yet.’
There is no shortage of money to invest in Jane right now. If that’s not possible, you can just hunt in the Forest of Chaos.
What’s more, if I say I’m into stocks, Kara and other acquaintances are likely to dissuade me.
I hope that someone will continue to recommend it. All you have to do is pretend to be a fagot and buy it.
“Hey, buddy. I heard you made a lot of money at the Usk auction?”
“?”
“Are you planning on adding more money?”
A weekday morning after the weekend.
When I arrived at the classroom, I looked puzzled at the recommendation of the student sitting in the back seat.
The identity of the student who recommended me was none other than Antonio. Perhaps because of his impression, he looks like he has a plan.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to scam Sivar?”
Naturally, Kara, who was sitting next to me, showed her caution.
She still has no idea that I invested in Jane. I’m thinking that the contract is a joke.
“Kara is right. I’m sure you’re not just trying to benefit yourself by using Mr. Shivar, are you?”
After Kara, Grace attacked in a somewhat sharp voice.
But Antonio ignored these warnings and shrugged his shoulders. He looks relaxed.
“Ah. Even though I’m a bit cowardly, I don’t cheat. Besides, Sivar will soon become a citizen of the Empire of Granada, so why cheat?”
“Ha. That’s shameless. When did Mr. Sivar say he was going to the Granada Empire? Of course, to the Matra Empire…”
“Okay, let’s just listen to the story. If you say anything strange, you’ll die.”
Kara stopped the story before it leaked elsewhere. It may be an illusion, but it is a voice full of discomfort.
Next, Antonio shrugged his shoulders and said the words I wanted to say.
“Do you know if it’s a stock?”
“Stocks? Isn’t that the same as investing?”
When Antonio mentioned stocks, Kara expressed doubts.
There are many people on Earth who are secretly confused, but what a terrible world this is.
Moreover, although Tatar has introduced banking and financial services, it is still relatively immature. It’s natural to be confused.
“It’s similar, but different. Investing is paying money for a specific goal, and stocks are buying shares. That’s roughly what it is…”
Antonio began to explain stocks in detail.
I knew the concept, but not Kara and Grace. Both of them have expressions like, “Let’s go in first.”
When Antonio’s explanation was over, Kara opened her mouth with a curious expression.
“I thought investing and stocks were the same thing, but that’s not the case. So what are you recommending to Sivar?”
“This is the most important. First, we need to check whether Sivar can buy stocks.”
“Huh?”
I’ve explained it well so far, but what does that mean? I didn’t quite understand.
Soul World, to be exact, the main character can stock. Making money through stocks is the most basic of basics.
Also, the higher your reputation, the more shares you can purchase. It is a method that suits the times.
“What do you mean by that? Is it because Sivar’s identity is not clear?”
“That’s right.”
Anyone on Earth can trade stocks, but in the distant past, only wealthy merchants could do so.
Even those merchants had so much power that they could even shake the country.
The same goes for this world. Not only have the types become more diverse, but it is very difficult for commoners to get their hands on stocks.
“It’s okay for academy students because their status is clear, but I don’t know about Sivar.”
“There is no need to worry about that. If necessary, you can just bring the saint or the president. Isn’t that what happened when the limit was increased?”
“Uh… Then it’ll be fine. I just need to confirm it at the stock exchange.”
Wait a moment here. One might ask, out of keeping with the times, what kind of stock exchange is this?
The stock exchange itself has existed on Earth for a long time. It was just because commoners didn’t have money.
But in this world, even commoners can make a lot of money. Strength is power and it is a world of denial, so it is enough to develop strength.
Moreover, thanks to Santia, the world is slowly moving toward industrialization. There is also a steam locomotive that travels around the world.
‘Well, anyway, most people are probably farming.’
It’s complicated to explain in detail, so let’s skip it. It’s a headache to think about the reality of this and that in a fantasy world.
In any case, a stock exchange will be established in most large cities, including the Academy.
“Anyway, what I recommend are stocks that are only going to rise. If you buy these, you can definitely get several times more.”
“What is the basis? No, won’t it be against the law before that?”
Grace asked with a voice full of doubt. It seems like he is worried that he might commit a crime.
But Antonio shrugged her shoulders and answered in a voice that it was okay.
“Don’t worry. I’m only making recommendations, and it’s Shivar who makes the choice. Just cheat yourself and you won’t be cheated like this.”
“Most scammers say that. Anyway, what would you recommend?”
“This is a story I heard from my brother…”
Antonio’s older brother is Cronos, one of the generals of Granada. He is a man of ability who rose from a commoner to a powerful position.
If such a person tells a story, he cannot help but be intrigued. Whether you like it or not, it will be directly or indirectly related to the top.
“Recently, the Granada Empire has been making moves to expand its territory. Oh, I’ll tell you in advance, it’s not a war, it’s just a move to find resources. It’s a bit bitter to say this, but our empire is lacking in natural resources.”
“I understand that the surrounding environment is quite violent.”
Unlike the Matra Empire, the Granada Empire lacks resources. Moreover, the surrounding environment is not very good.
People can live there, but the problem is that the monsters are strong. Therefore, each person’s temperament tends to be aggressive.
This is because it is difficult for an ideology that worships power to survive if the power is weak.
“But my brother said there could be a mithril mine. I haven’t investigated it yet, but since that’s what my brother said, it’s not entirely possible.”
“Mithril? Is that really true?”
“I’m getting interested.”
From noble mtl dot com
Mithril is famous as a rare mineral along with magic stones. The difference is that Mithril is treated as an alloy, and Magic Stone is a magical fusion.
Using Mithril does not improve performance. The performance is the same, but the only way to improve efficiency is to reduce weight.
Still, the fact that it is an excellent mineral does not change. The mere fact that a mine is found or that there is a possibility of it will cause stocks to skyrocket.
“It’s only a possibility, but since my brother said it, it’s highly credible. What do you think? Are you interested now?”
“No.”
“Eh?”
I will not invest there. Like Antonio said, if it is announced, things will go up for a little while.
However, it is a stock that plummets severely within a few days. As they were trying to drill through the mine, a powerful earth dragon came out and everything was buried.
The top one is completely shattered, so the stock is going to break through the bottom and reach the inner core. I can’t waste my money there.
‘Antonio, it’s better not to listen to him.’
Even in Soul World, Antonio is a bit pitiful. Especially in areas like stocks.
I made a rational stock investment through my own understanding of the situation, but it all ended up going bankrupt.
I understand that Kronos directly reprimanded some parts that could even be called rude.
“Something else.”
“Anything else? I only know this?”
“I guess Sibar can report it to me in person. Just tell me how to do it. This experience won’t be bad.”
Cara also seemed interested and asked Antonio to teach her.
It seems that they decided that it would be better to invest on their own rather than risk being scammed.
“Look. Do you know how difficult stocks are? You have to understand the situation and the vision of the top or top company. If you invest recklessly, you could end up in ruin.”
“That’s for us to decide. Do you know? Will the stocks that Sivar bought rise sharply?”
For no reason, my heart ached. For reference, the stocks I will buy are related to Kara, or to be exact, Tatar.
At the top of your journey across the Tatar desert, you accidentally discover a magic stone mine. It is also a large-scale underground mine.
This is where Hector’s resourcefulness will shine. People are amazing at smelling money, so they take action right away.
‘You will only need to invest in the upper crossing across Tatar.’
You will also be able to gain Kara’s favorability. As the size of the upper level increases, trade will naturally increase.
I just sit back and save money and that’s it. You could use that money to invest in Jane.
“Then, let’s go after lunch. The stock exchange was right next to the bank, right?”
“I think I should visit sometime too. I’m not interested in stocks, but I’m curious about what’s out there.”
“Okay. Then, come forward after lunch. I’ll explain nicely.”
Antonio was elated, perhaps because he thought he had collected ants(?). I would like to express my condolences to the declining market, which has only one way to go.
As we were chatting about stocks for a while, a familiar face soon appeared in the classroom.
“Keuung…”
Luna was walking awkwardly due to Rize’s arduous training. Her limbs were aching and she was walking like a turtle.
Now that it was a regular occurrence, no one was worried. I just thought something was going on.
“I became undead again today. What happened yesterday?”
“I exercised…”
It is a secret to receive training from Rize. So I can only talk roughly about exercise.
Still, you can probably understand with that alone. However, I was a little worried that the mouth of disaster would pop out.
“Hey, Luna. Do you want to try stocks too?”
“Huh? What?”
“Stocks, I mean stocks. I decided to try it during lunch break. If you’re bored, you can try it too.”
“······What are stocks?”
Luna asked back with a puzzled expression. Since he is from the countryside, he probably doesn’t know much about investing, let alone stocks.
Kara kindly explained this. As her explanation continued, Luna’s face grew more curious.
“So…It’s about looking at future possibilities and buying shares at the top or above. Right?”
“That’s right. I think it will be helpful in understanding the situation.”
“I’m not really interested…”
Luna was about to say she wasn’t interested, but instead, she and I made eye contact. At the same time, her expression changes mysteriously.
Next, Luna turned her gaze towards Kara again and asked cautiously.
“······Is Sibar going with you?”
“Yes. Sivar should also experience something like this.”
“Then I’ll go too.”
Luna Luna. Did I give permission right away because I knew the future?
It’s very shameful, but I can’t say anything about it. However, I cannot tell you that a decline is predicted.
“Luna. You’re not trying to choose what Sivar chose, are you?”
“Is that correct?”
“··· ···”
When will that guy’s snout be fixed?
