Chapter 96 096 The first day of the first month is a good day to frolic
The next day, Lin Youde's nest - it was really inaccurate to use a family, so he had to use a nest - slept until noon before getting up.
Viola's mood seemed to be very good, and at the afternoon tea party that was used as breakfast, she actually hummed at the snow scene, and the whole person was a little fresh.
"You're in the same mood as you were yesterday." Lin Youde, who was sitting next to Viola, said.
"Because it's been a long time since I've been so relaxed," Viola took a sip of the teacup, and after putting the teacup down, she turned her eyes to Lin Youde and began to complain, "I'll tell you, there's been a lot of going on in the last month or so." ā
"Is it because of the visit of the Russian legations?"
Viola nodded, then glared at Lin Youde.
"It's not just you, your bank resold futures in Petrograd, made a profit and then withdrew and left, leaving the collapsed Russian futures market. Just because of you, now the agricultural products in the two ports of Russia are piled up, and none of them can be sold! So the Russians came to the door, and you made them very unhappy when you declared that Serbia was a demon. ā
"Uh," Lin Youde shrugged innocently, "I'm just using the rules of the market to make money normally, you see that no one is forcing those wronged bosses to buy those high-priced contracts from me, right?" They don't have the ability to find a home that has anything to do with me. ā
The difference between the futures market and the stock market is that this market is still related to physical products, and all kinds of contracts traded in the market are ultimately completed in the form of physical transactions. After Lin Youde earns the difference by buying and selling futures contracts, if the person who gets the contract cannot find a successor due to a price crash or other reasons, then he must pay the supplier and receive the goods when the contract expires.
Most of the speculators in the futures market do not have the channels to receive and sell physical goods, and it is impossible for them to complete physical transactions.
Lin Youde made waves in the Russian futures market and withdrew after rolling up a large amount of gold rubles, which led to the collapse of the Russian futures market, the bankruptcy of speculators, and the failure to cash in a large number of contracts after expiration, which directly affected the actual sale of goods in Russia.
"Actually," Lin continued, "my purchasing company is buying contracts from bankrupt speculators in Petrograd, so those produce won't be piling up for long." Moreover, the current reform in Russia means that agriculture is basically organized and produced by the state, so it is unlikely that many peasant households will be affected by the price collapse......"
"But the Russian Ministry of Agriculture has been severely affected." Viola shook her head again and again, "You took the money away, and now you take advantage of others, you are very cool, I have to withstand the pressure of the Russian Foreign Ministry." This time, the envoys came to quarrel with us. ā
"What compensation conditions did they offer?" Of course, Lin Youde's intelligence officers are not dry food, and he has a certain understanding of the conditions of the Russians, but there is no source of information that is more accurate and valuable than the information obtained directly from Viola, a participant in the negotiations.
"They hope that Vale will not export iron ore to Yingzhou in the future."
"Well, that's fine, no problem." Lin Youde nodded calmly, "I can even sign a contract with them to confirm this commitment on paper." ā
"Really?" Viola glanced at the fox in the snow in the distance, "burning fat".
"I included Yingzhou in the iron ore export list before, and I did have the intention of considering the fox's mood, but recently the relationship between her and the Yingzhou government has become very poor, don't you see the fox's performance when the ambassador of Yingzhou came to me a few days ago to pay New Year's greetings." Lin Youde shrugged, "I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, anyway, I think she broke with Yingzhou completely." ā
"That's right." Viola nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Lin Youde asked, "What else?" The Russians demanded this? ā
Lin Youde made a lot of trouble in the Petrograd trading market, and it was inconceivable that the Russians only made this demand.
"I think it's weird too." Viola agreed, "but it doesn't look like the Russians are playing any tricks." Gobel said that your speculative actions have dealt a heavy blow to the power of the wealthy in Petrograd, which is dominated by speculators, and has been beneficial to the Iron and Steel Family, who are now in charge of Russian state affairs. But now that the wealthy businessmen are using the excuse that "the Iron Lady allows foreigners to stir up trouble" to carry out public opinion attacks, Gobel thinks that the Russian envoys are just planning to get something to go back to the business. ā
Viola's expression relaxed.
"I'm still thinking about how to get you to agree not to sell iron ore to Yingzhou, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."
Lin Youde smiled and asked, "You actually have a hard time trying to convince me?" ā
"I ...... I'm not sure if I'll be able to beat the fox. Viola's expression was very subtle, and without waiting for Lin Youde to react, she changed her words, "I think it's better for me to move to Sanssouci Palace too, I still like this place." Besides, we made an appointment to wait until I was sixteen years old...... Only...... I'm going to be sixteen this year anyway! ā
Lin Youde looked at Viola's face, which was a mixture of shyness and hope, and his expression softened.
That's right, Viola will be sixteen years old this year, according to the rules of this world, Divine Queen is considered an adult at the age of sixteen, and at this time her strength has been fully awakened, and she can exert 100% of her strength on the battlefield.
Originally, according to the concept here, the goddess who is under the age of sixteen should not be openly pursued, but after the war, because the gods who still have combat effectiveness in various countries are very young, and the internal forces of each country can't wait to tie up these "future stars", so everyone has a blind eye to the past traditions, as long as they don't make the goddess's belly bigger before the age of sixteen, no one will care.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Youde has been active as Viola's **** until now.
Now that Viola is about to become an adult, the little girl is obviously looking forward to a real union with Lin Youde. Lin Youde looked at Viola, carefully observing all the details of her face, and the girl seemed to be unable to stand such a gaze, her gaze shifted to the side, looking at the railing of the terrace.
Nearly two years ago, it was the encounter with this girl that officially kicked off his magnificent life in the otherworld.
From this point of view, Viola is undoubtedly Lin Youde's benefactor, and in the initial period, the two did build enough trust relationship.
Lin Youde is very sure that he likes this little girl very much, likes her intelligence and integrity, she is not the projection of the mustachioed careerist in another time and space in this time and space, but she just happened to become the leader of the people who originally served that careerist.
But Lin Youde is not sure if he has a love for the little girl between men and women.
Lin Youde stretched out his hand and gently stroked Viola's cheek, stroking while thinking about whether what was surging in his heart was love, or affection for his sister or even his daughter.
Viola's expression looked cramped, but she didn't stop Lin Youde from letting her face be swayed at will.
Finally, Lin Youde shook his head slightly.
It doesn't matter if it's love or not.
The important thing is that he must be engaged to Viola now, otherwise he will bring an element of instability to his roots in Germany. This beautiful little girl must become his wife and conceive a child surnamed Lin.
"Yes." The fox suddenly appeared on the terrace where the tea party was held, "I like to use some seemingly rational and utilitarian reasons to hide my true thoughts." ā
"Speak as if you understand what I'm thinking."
"Of course, after all, I'm a fox who is good at playing with people's hearts."
"You're done burning fat?" Viola said as she blocked Lin Youde's hand touching her cheeks, her expression was very embarrassed.
When the fox heard this, he shook his chest proudly and said, "If you burn it again, it will be worth the loss if you burn it again." ā
Viola looked unhappy and was about to refute, but Lin Youde said: "I will marry Viola this year." ā
"I know," the fox shook his head, "isn't that a matter of appointment?" It's good that I can sleep with little Viola in my arms every night in the future. ā
āā¦ā¦ Are you going to burrow under the covers after I become the hostess? ā
"Of course, and I'll be the second hostess, so let's be friendly in bed from now on."
"You ......" Originally, Lin Youde thought that Viola would lose her temper, but she calmed down, "That bed is really big, and I don't hate you, I just hope you can pay more attention, a little shameless." ā
"Ahh The fox lay on the table, banging on the table with a look of annoyance.
Lin Youde looked at the fox who made a big move as always, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After pounding the table, the fox suddenly straightened up again, stared at Viola with round eyes, and said, "It doesn't matter who comes first!" What matters is who gives birth first! My child will definitely be the first in line to the throne! The so-called mother is more precious than the child! ā
"This ...... IāI'm not going to be preempted by you! Viola's just little money was gone, and she was once again completely unaware of the fox's rhythm as she walked into the fox's rhythm.
"Ahh I'm a safe type! ā
"I have a lot of meat on my ass!"
"Really? Let me see! The fox stood up and walked around the table, his hands outstretched in a perverted look.
Viola also stood up and retreated to the corner of the terrace.
"What do you want to do?"
"Pinch and you won't lose a piece of meat!"
"I have to be pinched by you for something, don't come here!"
Lin Youde sat at the table, drinking tea and watching two beautiful girls chase and fight around the edge of the terrace, he thought this kind of life was really great.
The so-called emperor's life is probably nothing more than that.
At this time, Hybert quietly came to Lin Youde's side, leaned down and whispered: "We have locked on the person who directly ordered the bomb to be planted according to the clues, may I ask ......?"
"I said, don't assassinate him directly, you want to make him feel terrified, as for how to do it, that's what you're good at, I don't care."
"Understood." After Hybert finished speaking, he left quietly, just as he had come.
