235 – [4] Recession
#235
* * *
Of course, there were many doubts after Cheonmaly recovered his investment like this.
The question was not about myself, but what would become of E-Ritz Company.
“I understand that the reason you withdraw your investment early is because you have something to spend and you need time to launder money. But—”
“Are you planning on not managing the investment money at all after taking out the investment money?”
If she didn’t do it, she would have to be operated by me or her existing personnel.
Probably the rate of return would not be the same as before.
Nothing was as unfortunate as that.
No matter how hard you try, there will be no significant increase in wealth.
“Of course I should. So I said I would keep some of the investment as is.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“However, there will be no need to actively operate it as before.”
Put aside the investment money.
But there will be no need to actively operate it.
“Are you busy with anything?”
“There is always a lot of work, but there is no need to profit in this way anymore.”
This is how it works.
Investment companies then have to make money through investment, so how do they make money?
I thought about it carefully.
I soon realized that it meant something a little different than quitting investment.
“Aren’t you going to make small investments in the future?”
“Yes. “It takes too much time and the return is not that great.”
A local miscellaneous stock, a stock that continues to trend sideways, a stock that shakes off ants, etc.
It meant that such a classic and certain method no longer exists.
“I know that if you are a businessman, you should aim for the big one.”
And I could see what that big one was like.
One of the things I just said earlier.
“Selling short the academy?”
“Correct answer! “Of course, I’m not just selling short, I’m planning to collect all derivatives.”
“Crazy bastard.”
“Thank you for the compliment~”
He said he would short sell on a large scale the products he would purchase.
But if you do this wrong, wouldn’t there be a problem?
I asked about this.
“As for stock price manipulation or something like that…… Probably not? “I’m not sure.”
“What if you don’t know?”
“That could be possible. “In the first place, these things are handled by the lawyers below.”
“… ….”
“Even if there is a problem. “If you succeed in short selling and things go wrong, you can just lie down on your stomach!”
So what can you do after being robbed by me?
Are you planning on not giving me back the money I invested? Is that even more illegal?
It was roughly that kind of logic.
It’s not wrong, but the problem was the size of the investment that Chunmali was considering.
“How much to invest.”
“Everything! Of course, the money I took out will also be laundered and put into short selling!”
“There won’t be enough space to put it.”
“If there is no place to put it, just put it in all Academy-related products.”
“It’s not that big.”
“In that case, we can short sell hunter-related bonds. “Because it’s all intertwined anyway.”
She was sure.
Starting with Palaistra Academy, there will be a recession in the hunter industry.
In fact, since he was a regressor, it was a natural confidence.
They must have done something similar in the previous episode to begin with.
There is only one difference.
Whether or not to acquire the academy.
“It’s just one academy, but Palaistra Academy is large. There is a bit of a bubble in the hunter industry right now. To summarize, it is big but a bit ambiguous. So—”
“Is there a big recession coming to the hunter industry in the short term?”
“That’s right. “It won’t last long.”
“Before that happens, a full-scale war between the two planets will begin.”
Once the war begins, the hunter industry will boom again.
Of course, it was not a boom through traditional hunting or exploration.
There was a boom because the government was employing people closer to conscription.
Probably, this would be the last boom of hunters on Earth and Chareltea.
If we are defeated properly, the economy will disappear.
If we win properly, we will go into space and not pay attention to Earth and Charelthea.
If an ambiguous deadlock continues…… Well, I guess the boom will continue for a while.
In the end, it won’t be very good for the hunters.
“I think this will go down in history in a bad way.”
“Why? “We’re just selling short.”
“The amount of funds being managed is large. “If the bank that sells the products goes bankrupt and fails, there will be people gnashing their teeth at us.”
Seriously, it seemed like the chances of getting stabbed while walking down the street would increase.
Major banks will not fail, but due to their nature, there is a high possibility that mid-sized banks and small and medium-sized banks will fail.
“There won’t be an economic crisis, right?”
“What kind of crisis are you talking about?”
“Not something like Black Monday or Black Friday. “Crisis with the word ‘great’ attached to it.”
The Great Depression turned the world into a powder keg, the Great Recession brought the world to its knees, and the Great Blockade, which is almost like a new word.
Beings that have had a global impact and sent the lives of ordinary people into the abyss.
“To get to that point, there would have to be more problems in three or four existing industries, right? “The hunter industry alone is not enough.”
“Then that’s a good thing… ….”
“Of course! Because the crisis of an industry does not change. “The unlucky ones and the ones with bad management will be swept away.”
Collapse of guilds and companies focusing on the hunter industry.
This was good news for guilds and companies that would survive.
If you have the money, you can hire high-quality workers at a low price.
Even if that is not the case, the salary could be reduced due to the recession.
“But is Nartica okay? “If you look at Nartica, it’s a company in the hunter industry.”
However, when he asked that question, Cheonma-ri’s expression hardened.
It felt like he was asking me what nonsense I was talking about.
“We make a lot of money in other industries, right?”
“True.”
“How much money does it make selling potions to hunters in the first place?”
Nartica will never fall.
As long as we forced our way into the finance, construction, and high-tech industries, there were many ways for money to come in.
This was Nartica’s unique point of difference from general guilds and hunter companies.
Honestly, it has become too big to fail now.
“Of course, we should whine to the government that it is difficult and get as much subsidies as we can.”
“After all, it’s an unlisted company, so you don’t know what they’re thinking.”
“That’s right. That’s how guilds and companies collapse on a large scale, and Nartica becomes the brightest jewel in the hunter industry.”
No one can reach out a dark hand.
Even newborn babies recognize their name when they hear it.
On the other hand, it is a company that feels fear before doing something foolish.
Cheonma-ri put her hand on my shoulder as we walked down the street.
Soon, he smiled softly, as if he really liked his vision.
“If you want to survive the space pioneer, you must prepare now.”
“Isn’t this a more dangerous and unstable era than now?”
Heads were nodded.
Cheonma-ri and I stopped.
“Instead, we will become enormously rich during this preparation process.”
My current investment amount alone was enormous.
I was worried about whether I would be able to use even 10% of it in my lifetime, and I even forgot about the drawback of complicated laundry work.
“So you can’t just go bankrupt with this kind of money, right?”
“That’s right.”
I just had to figure out what to do with the world tree.
No, there was no problem as long as we dealt with just one type of World Tree’s minions.
Students of the Hero Academy.
We probably only had to deal with some of the people currently receiving training.
The first world will be able to win by just inflicting permanent disabilities without killing them.
However, the question of how to do this was difficult to answer.
It was like that until now.
If Cheonmari takes over the academy in the future, everything may change.
It may be a delusion, but that’s what I thought.
Then, Cheonma-ri looked around at me in my suit and put her hand on my tie.
“It would be better than tying it like this.”
I touched my tie confidently.
I was tying it around and scratching my head.
A feeling that something is not right.
Sure enough, I took out my cell phone.

The good news was that even though it was copied, it was tied together properly.
“I think that’s it.”
“No? Just by looking at it, it has clearly improved. “The figure is vibrant, the fit is good, and it’s very good.”
I don’t know.
In fact, Cheonma-ri himself was wearing a tie given to him by an attendant.
I feel like I look strangely better than myself.

But he was wearing the same black suit and black shirt.
There is only one reason for dressing like this in the dark where you can’t even see the stars.
It was because I had to meet someone in a dignified manner.
I looked at the sign above again.
There was a serif sign that said ‘The French Table’.
It looks like an old-fashioned French restaurant, but the exterior and interior were nothing like that.
It just looked like a small restaurant, and it was doubtful whether it would even serve fine dining.
The location was also the same.
For being located in the center of Limerick and right next to the Shannon River, the view was not that good.
Nothing more, just a typical restaurant by the river.
It was like that, except for the fact that it had a name, but if you look at the phrase ‘opened in 2008’, it wasn’t very common.
Half a century of history.
It was strange that it started in 2008, but in this world, this was a restaurant that had at least some of its roots.
I opened the door to that place and entered.
Inside the empty store, there was only one person sitting and only one person standing.
I sat down on the seat, stepping on the wooden floor.
The feel of the chair was poor compared to the restaurants I often visited with Cheonmaly.
I felt old and had a weak impression.
Then the large man sitting in front of him also made a weak impression.
He raised his thick arms on the table.
The rough tattoos extending from the fingertips to the neck caught my eye.
On the one hand, there was a desire to be intimidating, but on the other hand, there was a will to take the initiative.
It was just ridiculous to do this without even knowing who was in charge.
A typical street person.
It was well-dressed, but it looked just like that.
“…… Are you laughing at me? “You little guy, do you know what happens if you do some work in Limerick?”
“Shut your mouth. If we wanted to, that family could end up in the city hall with all their limbs torn apart.”
“… ….”
He growled, showing his gold teeth, but then fell silent.
Then he lowered his head slightly, like an animal lowering its tail.
I heard people say quietly, ‘You f*cking bastard.’
After the leader got caught up in the politically correct behavior, the attitude seemed to be that they were a little regretful of what had happened to them.
It was none of my business.
“What can I call you? Name? Or a vice-minister?”
It is time to settle accounts.
