Chapter 444: Lucius's inner turmoil

Lucius' breathing began to become a little tight, and he was eager to learn more about finance.

But it was obvious that it was impossible to obtain the knowledge he wanted by reading the newspaper, just when he was upset.

Mr. Zachary Ward, who had been away for some time, pushed open the door of the VIP room again with a pile of documents.

Lucius was overjoyed. He trotted over to help the other party take some documents and cordially invited him to return to his seat.

Such a huge change in attitude made Mr. Zachley Ward seem a little overwhelmed. He just sat down and looked at Lucius warily and asked.

"Mr. Malfoy, what can I do for you? I can help you with any questions you have about the business handled by your company."

"Please rest assured that there is no fraud. Apart from the handling fee that our bank should charge, not even a single dollar has entered our bank account."

“We are professional and honest!!”

Hearing this, Lucius knew that the other party had begun to doubt his behavior because of his change in attitude.

So he quickly waved his hands to deny it.

"You misunderstood, sir. I don't have any problems with my business. It's just that through the reading I just read, I began to have some interest in what you call the financial industry."

"As for what I said about you and us, I believe you should be able to understand, and you should also be able to understand how I feel now."

Mr. Zachary Ward nodded when he heard this and put on his professional fake smile again, which showed no other emotions.

"Of course, I fully understand the meaning of your words, and I promise to keep it secret when necessary, but I didn't expect someone as noble as you."

"You will also be interested in what we have created. If you want to know anything, just tell us. We still have plenty of time."

"I can help you with that."

Lucius heard some sarcasm in the other person's words, but he was not angry as usual. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved.

Because of everything that happened today, he always felt that someone was behind the scenes, and now the other party expressed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Instead, this feeling dissipated a lot, making him feel more real.

So he didn't hesitate and directly asked the question he wanted to ask most.

"I just want to know one thing, that is, if I want to participate in your game, how should I exchange the chips in my hand?"

"Are you sure?" Mr. Zachary Ward put away his smile and looked at the other person with firm eyes.

"According to my understanding, the region where you are located does not allow the unique currency in your region to circulate in our area."

"That's a very serious offence and offenders could be sentenced to life imprisonment, so you definitely want to play the game in this situation."

"I have to remind you to be cautious."

Hearing this, Lucius's doubts were somewhat dispelled, as the other party did not show any sign of impatience.

At least it didn't look like he had any ulterior motive, so he continued speaking.

"Thank you for your professional reminder, but please rest assured that you don't need to worry about legal issues. At the latest, this week."

"This behavior will become legal. I just want to know what the exchange rate is and whether people like me can join this game."

"I can open an account in your bank, or any other bank. I just need to ensure that the wealth can enter my account clearly and is safe."

"It looks like you will have an important meeting tomorrow!" Mr. Zachary Ward smiled knowingly, and this time the smile seemed much more sincere.

He pushed aside the documents that he and Lucius had helped to carry and drew a few dots on the blank desk with his fingers.

Then he said.

"Under the current circumstances, if your funds want to enter the international capital market, there will be the following difficulties."

"The first point is how to convert your currency into today's mainstream currency. I know that in your world, there may be a fixed exchange rate."

"But that is only suitable for small-scale exchanges. Hundreds of billions of dollars flow from the City of London to Europe every day."

"Hundreds of billions of funds flow from here to the other side of the ocean. Every time a number jumps on the screen, there may be billions of funds behind it."

"So if it's only a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, then there's actually no need to talk about it."

"So before I answer the first question, I want to ask how much money you can afford."

"Ah, this..." This time it was Lucius' turn to be embarrassed. This was the first time that a member of the Malfoy family felt somewhat powerless when it came to money.

At the beginning, he did want to try his hand and took out hundreds of thousands of gold Galleons to test the waters, but now he heard what this Muggle said.

Such a small amount of money is like a bottle of water poured into Shanghai, which cannot cause any waves at all.

But at the same time as he felt embarrassed, he also smelled an opportunity when he was communicating with Mr. Hohenzollern.

The other party often inadvertently reveals contempt for the noble pure-blood wizard family and its long history and wealth.

It was as if that had never been something worthy of praise. Due to the other party's strength and authority, he and many nobles dared not speak out.

But everything that happened today completely shattered his inner imagination. He put himself in the shoes of others and thought about what it would be like if he grew up in such an environment.

You may also completely disdain the wealth your family currently possesses.

Because this is simply not on the same order of magnitude as the wealth managed by this city, the daily cash flow and expenses generated.

It may have surpassed all the super-rich in the entire British wizarding world, and the struggle between the British Ministry of Magic and Voldemort looked like a child's play.

After thinking this through, Lucius made a bold decision. He put on his noble airs again and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Please don't doubt me, sir. I will provide a sufficient amount of wealth. I just want to know whether your bank can fulfill my previous request."

After saying that, Lucius straightened his back and stared at the young man in front of him.

Mr. Zachary Ward just said nothing, looked at the other party silently, and after a moment he shook his head slightly.

He moved the documents that he had just pushed aside and said calmly.

"I really can't give you an answer to this question, so let's solve our real problem. Please read these documents."
