Chapter 683 Theft
Peter touched the handful of gilt club investment certificates hidden in the package and fell into deep thought.
He seemed to have guessed where the gold coins had gone.
Marquis Madison and Rune Monger became close.
That being the case.
It is natural for the other party to join the Gilded Club.
It seems reasonable to invest all the gold coins in your hand into the gilt club.
A stable fixed income of 8% per year.
I am afraid that few people can resist the temptation it brings.
If you have extra spare money on hand, investing in the gilt club is equivalent to making money in vain.
But therein lies the problem.
If you really want to withdraw money, even if you don't use the principal invested, just withdrawing the income should be enough to pay these farmers.
Or, think more extreme.
Since you can invest a lot of gold coins in the gilt club, the annual fixed income alone is enough for a being like the Marquis Madison to live a luxurious life, right?
Why did he still default on the gold coins he paid to the farmers?
Is it because Marquis Madison is too greedy?
The income is stored in the club, and after a year of waiting, more income will be generated in the form of compound interest, so he is not willing to take out any gold coins inside?
The more Pete thought about it, the weirder it got.
Thinking in another direction, Pet quickly realized a new problem:
"Now that Marquis Madison is dead, what will happen to the gold coins he put into the Gilt Club?"
This was different from the bearer certificate Miranda's father, Vance, had.
Vance's investment was very small, only 20 gold coins, and anyone with it could withdraw money in the Gilt Club.
However, large-value vouchers are different. You must be present in person and verify your identity before you can obtain gold coins.
Taking advantage of the fact that the person in charge of the L.G Chamber of Commerce is here, the other party is also a person with an industry under the name of Rune Monger, and being invited by Prince Vladin, his position is definitely not low.
He most likely knows how to handle similar situations.
So Peter asked directly.
The other party's expression changed slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, slightly confused:
"Sir, you'd better ask the person in charge of the Gilt Club about this question."
"Normally, these things will be included in his estate and calculated together when the estate is liquidated."
"However, there are some issues that need to be dealt with at the Gilded Club recently, and it may be... that the liquidation cannot be carried out in a short time."
Peter was startled.
An ominous premonition came over me.
"What do you mean there are problems that need to be dealt with?"
he asked.
The person in charge said slowly and reluctantly:
"The Gilt Club's warehouse recently suffered a theft. The thief has not yet been caught, but the Gilt Club has lost a large number of stored investment certificate records."
"For insurance purposes, in order to ensure that the wealth of club members is not stolen or stolen by thieves, the Gilded Club will temporarily no longer accept applications for cash withdrawals until they have compared, sorted out and restored the lost investment certificates."
Peter's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't accept it for now? How long will it be for now?"
The person in charge immediately said:
"I'm not in charge there, so I don't know very well."
"But if nothing else happens, it should be sorted out soon, no more than 1 month at most!"
The person in charge sounded very sincere when he said this: "Please don't worry, both the L.G Chamber of Commerce and the Gilded Club are still as reliable and trustworthy as in the past."
"The theft this time was just an accident. After learning the news, we comprehensively strengthened our supervision and security work to ensure that similar things will never happen again in the future."
"Concerning the specific details of the incident at the Gilt Club, all information will be made public after the investigation is clear and the thieves are captured."
…
Peter didn't waste time arguing with the person in charge of the L.G. Chamber of Commerce that Prince Vladin had hired.
Instead, he hurriedly grabbed the prince, quickly left the Marquis Manor, and returned to the royal capital in a carriage as soon as possible.
Because the news discovered by Gale happened to be transmitted via instant messenger.
"Hey! We've got some big news here, Pete!"
"The treasury of the Gilt Club was stolen, and the thieves stole a large number of investment certificate records!"
"A lot of investigators have come to the Liuxing Mercenary Group station, and they are all Rune Monger's people!"
"They cleared this place and quarantined it!"
"The reason is - the people in the Ryusei Mercenary Group are highly suspected of being the thieves who stole the Gold Club's treasury!"
"They want to investigate this place and collect clues!"
"What the hell, this matter is really related to the Gilt Club? The people from the Ryusei Mercenary Group absconded after stealing. Is it true?!"
The moment he received the news, Pet felt as if lightning struck in his mind, lighting up his mind.
Some things that I couldn't figure out or understand before suddenly became clear at this moment!
Everything about the Gilded Club and Rune Monger since Greenport;
The various events they experienced after arriving in the royal capital;
There is also the fire at the Marquis Manor and the disappearance of Marquis Madison;
In addition, all members of the Ryusei mercenary group left the royal capital and disappeared;
And...the news I just learned about the "stolen" of the Gilt Club!
"Gail!"
On the way back to the capital, Pete couldn't wait to use the instant messenger to communicate with Gale across the air:
"Do you still remember! When we were in Green Harbor, in the luxurious resort newly built by Rune Monger, what you said to me at that time!"
"...What?" Gale's reply was a little slow, as if he didn't remember it.
"You told me at that time that the Gilded Club can guarantee an 8% income every year. It sounds incredible, because normal investment won't make that much money, right?"
This time Gale's reply was much more timely: "Oh! That's what you mean!
"Anyway, I don't think I can do anything that will make a profit every time I invest. "
"Investment is something that no one knows whether it will make money in the future or not. It is normal to have losses and gains, and most people lose money, right!"
"If everyone can make money by investing as long as they have money, then it would be too easy to become a rich man. Just continue to invest all the money you earn, right? ”
“I actually want to know how Rune Monger did it, where exactly should he use the money to make money, and to make so much money steadily.”
Pete excitedly sent the edited message:
“Hey, I say!”
“Is there a possibility, I mean a possibility!”
“Monger can’t do the so-called stable income of more than 8% every year!”
After a long while, Gale sent a reply to Pete with just one symbol:
“?”
…
Three more chapters are here, the 5th volume is about to end, and I’m a little stuck, so there will be no more today.
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, thank you very much!
PS: It should be obvious who the BOSS is.
