112 – Ecomana
Approximately two weeks ago.
Emilia Raymond’s office.
Emilia was savoring the fragrant smell of money that the academy gave off.
“The plan is currently progressing smoothly. The conflict between the religious denomination and the local government is becoming more intense.”
At her subordinate’s words, Emilia snapped her fingers on the table.
Talk. Talk. Talk.
It has a soft sound like a high-quality wooden table. But I didn’t like the grain of the wood. Every time she flicked her hand, the slight scratchiness got on her nerves.
“Please be careful so that the conflict does not end. We must take advantage of the absence of attention to expand our power as much as possible.”
“Yes.”
Lichten Academy.
This place itself is a pot of money.

Emilia Raymond saw it.
Lichten is engulfed starting from the dark part.
By recruiting her faculty members, she expands her influence and eventually takes control of the board of directors.
Holding the Lichten Academy in your hand and shaking it.
That is Emilia Raymond’s primary goal.
For now, the plan appears to be smooth sailing.
By the way.
“……”
There was someone who caught her fancy.
From the first time I saw him, continuously.
Ian Black Angus.
This is a story about him.
“… Now that I think about it, that guild I asked you to pay attention to last time. What happened to their stock price?”
“Are you talking about Ecomana?”
“Yes.”
“As Emilia said, we are selling the entire quantity.”
“Are you shaking it off properly?”
“Yes. As you said, we are splitting it and selling it in a way that will cause as much shock to the stock price as possible.”
“I guess I can push away more than thirty percent.”
“Yes. If nothing special happens, it will be enough. But… If good news comes out, we will have to take some damage because we have short-sold the money… Are you okay with that?”
“Mr. Kyle.”
“Yes.”
“Why don’t you try stocks for a day or two? If the good news is like that, everyone will become rich.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Please handle it without worrying.”

After a week like that.
Sylvia’s office.
“… Actually, the slump continued until recently.”
Sylvia, whose complexion had worsened, said that.
“Plunge?”
“Yes.”
“How far did you fall?”
“About 35%. The last time I checked three days ago, it was about that much.”
“Hmm.”
Ian stroked her chin.
Was the money invested only 1 gold?
Now, from Ian’s perspective, it is a lot of money, but it is not a problem because it is money that can be made if he forgets about it.
I only eat two meals a day.
“Well, so. Didn’t you talk to Ian before he went to the North? If it falls, I ask you to take out a loan in Ian’s name and keep buying it.”
… Oh, that’s right.
Please buy all negative candles.
This was what Ian asked Sylvia to do.
“But it didn’t take long, right?”
Anyway, Ian was already halfway there.
Even if a loan was issued in his name, he would have received about 0.5 Gold.
“Well, that.”
Sylvia stuttered her words and rolled her eyes.
“The princess even stood by as a guarantor.”
“…?”
“About three times the original amount?”
After saying that, Sylvia held out her paper.
“This is the interest that Ian will have to pay in the future.”
Ian entered the numbers on the paper in his head with a faint look in his eyes.
Hmm.
Is there something like Byeokgokdan in fantasy?
I think I need to find a free soup kitchen somewhere.
“Silvia, you’re secretly big?”
He really scraped all his assets and gave them to me.
“Of course! I trust Ian’s intelligence.”
Silvia said with a triumphant expression.
Now that I think about it, the relationship started by selling information to Sylvia in the first place.
Ian realized that this situation was his karma.
“I didn’t hear any news about it being dropped recently, so I forgot about it. It’s probably… A bit much.”
From what I heard, it seemed like Sylvia only made additional purchases when stocks fell, just as Ian said.
“Hmm.”
Ian was somewhat embarrassed.
Of course, 3 gold is a lot of money from a cadet’s perspective. Looking at it another way, it is not money that cannot be raised at all. Above all, there are still things to be compensated for here and there.
Therefore, the reason for the panic is not the debt or interest incurred.
‘Is the story wrong?’
If things had gone as planned, Ecomana’s stock price should have soared immediately after the special article about the train crossing the Northern Mountain Range was published.
“Have you ever seen any news about the train crossing the Northern Mountain Range?”
“… It appeared about 3 days ago.”
“Ah.”
It was only then that Ian realized what was going on.
The correct article came out late.
Schwab, a reporter for the Empire Daily who was the only one to witness the derailment, got caught up in the Richard incident.
Proper articles will be coming out one by one only after his return.
‘Then yes.’
Sigh.
The corners of Ian’s mouth rose.
“Sylvia, let’s go to the stock exchange for a moment.”
It was time to harvest.
◆
[ Liechten Branch Stock Exchange of All Continental Securities Association ]
When we arrived at the stock exchange, the waiting room was still crowded with people.
— It seems that the impact of this incident has definitely taken a big toll on mana and energy.
— I used trust as my greatest weapon, but it has collapsed…
While there are people who sit cross-legged and have in-depth conversations.
— Refund, ask for a refund! It makes sense that it turns into a piece of paper in just one day!!
There were also customers who were dragged out.
Probably not a customer anymore.
Anyway, when will the staff in charge arrive?
“Silvia, do you mind if I have time? I’m busy, but I guess I dragged you out for no reason… Do you want to go back first?”
“Yes? Absolutely not. I’ll wait too.”
Sylvia stubbornly shook her head.
…Do you feel responsible? There’s no need for that.
Let’s wait for a while like that.
“Hmm.”
The one who arrived was the same employee I first met here.
A bit spoiled, the employee said she would give recommendations and all.
“… Huh? You were newlyweds at that time.”
It seemed like they recognized this side too.
Did she remember that?
Mulkyung.
Suddenly, the side of her arm became soft, and as Ian turned his head, Sylvia came into view.
She naturally folds her arms.
– It’s acting. It’s acting. We pretended to be newlyweds here.
Her cheeks are somewhat red as she whispers that.
“I guess you came to check the price of the stock you purchased at that time? What kind of stock was it? Please follow me first, right?”
The employee’s attitude is quite arrogant.
Well. At that time, I ignored all of that guy’s recommendations, so it was worth it.
Well. They don’t remember what customers bought, it’s natural for employees of this level.
While walking down the passage and entering the exchange.
Through the window, I could see blue-colored mana-related stocks in the distance. The story is that all stocks involved have fallen.
Ian asked the employee.
“I remember you recommended Mana stocks the last time we were here. It looks like you’re doing poorly these days.”
“Ah. Huh. It wasn’t a bad sector at the time.”
The employee trailed off and continued speaking in an exaggerated voice.
“Better than that! Mana is the trend these days. Do you remember the recent incident where the Northern Mountains train stopped?”
“Yes. It was published in an article not long ago.”
“After that, the upward trend is no joke. If you are doing well from the beginning, you will become rich immediately. There are not many people like that, but they are truly experts.”
“Is it that much?”
“I don’t know much about the stock you purchased since it was your first time purchasing it.”
The employee who made a polite gesture added further.
“Just looking at Ecomana, which is the best performing alternative mana-related stock recently, is amazing.”
Silvia, who was concentrating all her senses on Ian and her arms, asked back without realizing it.
“…Ecomana?”
“Yes, ma’am. What’s interesting about this stock is that it has tripled three times and doubled once in the last four trading days.”
“Well, what? Well, then…”
Sylvia’s eyes widen as she taps on the abacus in her head.
Her employee chuckles as she looks at those eyes.
“You can’t believe it, right? It’s gone up over 60 times. If you play these stocks well, you can go a few more times.”
An employee who is proud as if he is a shareholder of Ecomana.
“Anyway. Well, this is the domain of experts. By the way, sir, what did you buy last time? I’ll check the rate of return.”
There was a subtle sneer on the expression of the employee who asked that question.
The stock she bought against her own recommendation, as if to see how much it went up.
Ian answered calmly.
“Ecomanayo.”
“… Yes?”
“The stock I bought last time was Ecomana.”
The exchange headquarters has already arrived.
The employee’s legs were frozen.
Over his head, a terminal that says [Ecomana, rising 10% today] Goes back and forth.
“Well, how much did you live for back then, sir?”
“I bought 1 gold. I think I bought more and it’s about 3 gold.”
“Ah, ah…”
The employee is once again silent like a mute.
Ian asked him.
“Could you please check my balance now?”
“Ah… Yes sir. Could you please wait a moment?”
He takes Ian’s membership card, scans the card on the terminal, and checks the number.
— Ah!
A death that is like a scream.
He walks creakingly again.
It looks as if you have seen a ghost.
“The current balance is one hundred… One hundred and eighty gold. Customer.”
Invest 3 gold principal including the additional purchase amount from Sylvia. Current valuation: 180 gold.
A return of almost 60 times.
“Then I will sell only half.”
The employee, who should have been muttering something, leaves without saying anything and returns with the check.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Here you are, sir.”
Ian looked down at his hands.
90 Gold.
To put it into perspective, a check worth 900 million was placed in my hand.
how many debt left again?
What the …. How did you remember that?
Less that 20 gold coins, because interest may be more.
