82 Essence of Investment (2)

In case the buyer didn't come, Clayo asked the hotel staff to organize the list of performances to be held in the city.

Then, they turned on "Memory" of "Promise" to check the name and check the list.

'There is!'

Count Prokorus, an innovator in ballet. His ballet company will perform its last special performance before the end of the season in the resort city.

The Count, who is also interested in musical instruments, aims to buy the violin to be auctioned off, and then buys the lira, according to the manuscript.

On the last day of the auction, there are many music lovers, so the price of musical instruments goes up dramatically.’

Put down the two-bite sandwich, and Clay talked to Dione. Dionne, distracted by the instrument she left on the folded bedclothes, replied a beat later.

"Oh, did you call the master?"

"That's how you like Lila? You can't even hear me."

"It's not about the instrument... Because it's a sacred object. Now that you think about it, you knew about it in advance!"

"That's what it is."

Dionne, who squinted her eyes, looked at Clay and closed her mouth. Since the value of the sacred relics is so great, they decided that they would not tell the source of the information even if asked.

It seems like there would be some great function just by hearing the name of the holy object in , but it wasn't at all.

Items that have nothing unusual except that they do not rot away after many years have been classified as "sexual relics."

The majority of the sacred relics were instruments, and music lovers and relic collectors bought them at a terrifying price whenever they came to the market.

'I don't know much about art, but if you pay me well. Even when you're in the other side of the world, you do billions of things for a violin, right?’

"You really don't know the end. Information power to find this, and I could see that Lila's strings and opal were the building blocks... Are there any signs of 'analysis' or 'prediction' related?”

Dionne, the heir and research wizard of the Grayer Chamber of Commerce, couldn't calm down. The 17-year-old wizard, who found and restored the holy relics, was mercilessly intrigued curiosity.

"It's a corporate secret. He has a slightly better intelligence and analytical power than others."

"Oh! I don't want to tell you.”

"That's the case now."

"Now, it's. So you're saying that if I'm not your father's person in the future, it's going to be a different story?

"Lady is so brilliant."

"I wondered why my father was coming to the party. You, unlike what you look like, have a fairly semicircular disposition."

"So you don't like it?”

The sky blue eyes are cold, and they search for the boy they meet.

The boy, staring at her in a relaxed manner, felt like a child who was running away from home.

"No, very good. So, Mr. Clayo Asher, what do you want from me?”

For the first time since they got to know each other, Dionne used the title "Clayo" instead of "The Master." It means that he is not the second son of Baron Asher, but rather a man named Clayo.

Clay continued, filling her empty teacup.

"I'd like to submit this for the last day of auction. The order doesn't matter. I just need to show my performance in advance even during bad times."

"The name of Baron Asher would be simple....”

Clayo shook his head. I have no intention of using my father's name.

"It will be difficult for a private seller to submit it tomorrow. It's not even in the catalog. It takes time for emotions, too.

"You've seen the restoration process, and you've done the analysis, haven't you? Then you can write a guarantee for Dionne. He's a graduate of the Royal College of Capital Defense, and he has a research wizard license."

This time, Dionne looked as if she had hit the back of her head.

"Ray, you were going to use me from the beginning.”

"Let's call it collaboration, not utilization."

Turning the glass back on the table, Dionne was no longer a private teacher, but a successor to the Greyer Chamber of Commerce.

Clayo smiled inwardly with remorseful.

Before departing for Novantes, Clayo was also busy. Mrs. Canton was quite familiar with the capital, so she knew about Dionne Grey.

Lady Dionne was a secretively well-known accomplice. Since he was a student, he has participated in the family business and has been in charge of the actual management of the business, and has built a huge network as soon as he made his debut in society.

Therefore, a young woman who did not even hold an official position was able to move the Capital Defense Corps to catch a student who ran away.

Since he was the one my father gave me, I thought about dropping him, but I thought it would be advantageous for Dione to recruit him.

"Well, how much did you think about the fee?"

"We usually know that the appraisal costs are 2,000 dinars, but how about 4,000 dinars because it's an express."

Negotiations were not difficult for Clayo, who had read the auction rule guide to the end. Dionne had already taken a step back to Clay the moment the magic was successful.

"Well, that sounds like fun.”

"The Trinity auction house is also headquartered in the capital. Don't you have the preferential commission among the members of the Water Merchant Union? If you submit this in your capacity as a member of the Grayer Corporation, we will pay 2% of the winning price as a commission. It's higher than the usual amount."

Dionne, who put down her fan and folded her arms, was also measuring back and forth fiercely.

"It was the day before yesterday that I brought you an auction rule guide, and you've already figured it out. What kind of a late second son is this?’

Finally, Dione made a decision, too.

"Okay. By the way, can anyone play Lila?"

"We'll have to save it from now on."

"3%, I'm responsible for performing, adding and promoting the auction list."

"Will it work?"

"It's my motto to work as much as I get."

"Then let's write the contract first."

"Mr. Clayo, you're also thorough."

The two wrote a simple contract, handwritten the [confirmation] law school below, and each person imaged it with ether.

It could not even give penalties such as "death" like a formal contract with masonry correction powder, but it was a contract that was effective enough to be a money contract.

After the ether was extinguished, Dionne suddenly remembered and added to the requirements.

Apart from this, I'd like to order a dress, too. Please put that on as an expense."

"As much as you want."

***

Dionne Greyer was a natural flirt.

Like the attire of an old goddess, a white dress with a drape hanging down, and a plated laurel crown on its head, took the stage at the auction house.

"It's a skill I learned when I was young. Lyra is not a common instrument to learn, so I'd rather do it myself than rush to find a performer.’

Clayo was half-believed, but if Dionne's performance fell short of expectations, he was so good-looking that he thought he would attract attention enough and proceeded with the work.

The result was more than expected.

Dionne's fairy-like gesture added quality Lira skills and elegant voice, so the atmosphere lived well.

Lira's voice tone was unusual. It captivated people's emotions and made ordinary lyrics sound like the best poems.

Count Prokorus stood up in tears. Following him, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

After a fierce battle, Terfcicore's Lira was sold to the Count for 5.95 million dinars. It was 950,000 dinars higher than the original bid in the manuscript.

"Even with all the commission and entry fees, it's 5.5 million dinars. We can move on to the next job.’

He did not accept the payment by draft or cheque, but informed the auction company of the newly opened Aurel bank account before coming to Novantes. He stopped trading with the bank, which he had been dealing with for generations with his father.

That evening, I paid Dione a commission right away.

Upon receiving the deposit confirmation of 297,500 dinars, Dionne smiled as if the treaty was blooming.

"And here, we give you 4,000 dinar cash for appraisal."

"I'm glad you're moral and reasonable. Yes, it's ideal to pay the fees quickly.”

"I've had the help of a high-quality staff like Lady Dionne, and that's a given."

Dionne, who took out the decorations of the laurel crown and put it down, became quite serious.

"Now that you see it, you don't want to be a politician or a bureaucrat, do you don't you? He started raising money because he didn't want to do what he wanted."

Instead of answering, Clayo only smiled gently.

"I understand why you had to run away from home. I'll never be able to stand it if someone talks about it in my life."

"I'm glad you understand. If I had told you earlier, wouldn't you have grabbed me in such a great way?”

"No, that's it, and this is it. I signed a contract with your father to take care of you. Shouldn't you have kept the good faith as much as the deposit was made?”

"And now?"

"I think Baron Asher Jun paid me dearly. It's time to write a new contract.”

Done. I got caught.’

"Honestly, it would be no fun to be a puppet of my father and play politics. Let's just make money. Isn't the distribution of Madogu attractive that even your father can't touch it?"

Dionne was also not in the manuscript. a man of unknown movement However, there was no one in the world who hated money.

"I didn't know you'd like it this much."

"It can never be a coincidence that we found the holy property. You judge me to have some ability that I can't reveal."

"It's an honor for you to think so."

"I'm going to try to put your information and restoration skills to work. There are quite a few harnesses that have not been restored in our storehouse, but I couldn't touch them because I specialized in mana stone processing. It's very annoying to think that we need to commercialize it as soon as possible. I think you can fix it, what do you think?”

"It's possible."

Dionne seemed impressed by the short and sure answer.

It was a great welcome for Clayo. If you restore the harnesses in the grayer's warehouse, you'll get a good commission.

I didn't have much analytical skills, but I have memories of the second-phase function of "Promise" and the manuscript instead.

After handing over the manuscript, Basko, who likes to make a living, gathered the materials and talked in detail about how he restored the harness.

Based on that, it was worth doing.

"I didn't know you'd come up with a suggestion so soon. You must be very enthusiastic about managing the firm.’

"By the way, Lady Dionne has a fairly substantial sense of business, not like a richly grown aristocrat."

Dionne, who was putting 4,000 dinars in her handbag with a friendly touch, raised her chin slightly. He looked strange.

"A lot? It's you who doesn't know the waters, not me. Poor aristocrats are more miserable than poor commoners. I can't go hungry for three days, nor can I go out to hunt.”

“……!”

"The original title of Greyer was to my father. I've never earned a dinar in my life. If he hadn't died, wouldn't I have starved to death?”

It was a background I had never imagined. Dionne had never heard of anything heavier than a teacup in her life, and she looked like a lady from a noble family who lived on white bread.

"My uncle Basco, who returned from his 10-year expedition, got me. I trained him and supported him. It's money that gives people space and makes them human. How can you neglect it?”

"There's something that Lady Dionne and I can relate to."

"That's true. It's amazing that Baron Asher's children know this urgency.”

Their eyes met. The smiles of accomplices and partners came out.

"For more information, let's write a contract later and discuss it properly. I need to go buy some evening papers."

"Didn't you read the newspaper this morning?"

"The hotel doesn't prepare dinner. If you're tired, take a rest first."

"What do you mean take a break, get ready to go to the banquet!"

Don't you still have a long way to go before 9 o'clock?

"I haven't seen you for ages. Four hours is not enough to prepare. I'll be getting ready first, so hurry up and go."

He left the hotel leaving behind Dionne's request that he should be back in 30 minutes.

Since leaving his post, Clay has been scouring major national newspapers every day. Although he was in vain, he read the short story with patience.

After buying all five daily newspapers at the stand, I looked through them on the bench.

Finally, in today's evening, there was a long-awaited article!

'That's what I expected.’

An abnormality in the 'King's Forest' area near the city of Dubris was a precursor to the discovery of the Tiplom mine. The facts I knew became reality, and I even felt refreshed.

'The Tiplom mine in Dubris will completely turn the tide on the continent.'

The T-flume described in is a key material to improve Albion's military capabilities.

'But the mine is found on the royal site. The royal family will develop it, and the royal family will be in charge of the management, so the stock market is not supposed to be fun.’

There was a corner where the money would come from.

'Real estate is unbeatable in this world, too!'

To lay the groundwork for that very thing, Clay came to Novantes.
