Audrey glanced at Susie, smiled at her father and said, "Dad, what do you need from me?"

Earl Hall pointed to the paper in the attendant's hand and said, "A telegram from Backlund, someone is selling 10% of the bicycle company's shares, baby, are you interested? I think this industry has a very bright future, and It is nowhere near the lowest expectations right now."

"Bicycle?" Audrey was quite unfamiliar with this term, her eyes turned slightly with a confused expression.

Earl Hall smiled and looked at his daughter and said: "A two-wheeled machine for people to ride, you can understand it as a carriage for ordinary people.

"In Loen and Backlund, the largest number of people are not nobles or businessmen, but ordinary people engaged in manual labor, followed by the more skilled and status-oriented types among them. This is the group targeted by bicycles. , They have an absolute majority and a certain purchasing power, even if only 10% are willing to buy bicycles, this company can achieve very good development.

"Well, they have the corresponding patents."

Audrey believed her father's vision and understood the prospect described by Earl Hall, she nodded slightly: "What is the approximate value of the 10% shares?"

"According to preliminary investigations, Backlund Bicycle Company is currently only worth 50,000 pounds. This is because the promotion and sales of products still need time to brew. Therefore, we cannot simply think that 10% of the shares are only worth 5,000 pounds. My The suggestion is that the first round offer is 8,000 pounds, and the psychological reserve price is 15,000 pounds, and I will send someone to help you take care of this matter." Earl Hall said succinctly.

About 10,000 pounds... I have almost used up all my cash this month... Audrey said with a little embarrassment: "Dad, I can't afford this money at once, so I need to sell stocks, real estate, mines, or wait It will take some time for their benefits to be realized.�

Earl Hall laughed and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome. You can get enough cash by pledging the shares of Backlund Arms Group or Pritz Commercial Shipping Company to the bank for a short period of time. When the matter is over, you can put the shares of the bicycle company The shares are pledged to the bank for a long time, and the previous loan is repaid with the loan.

"In this way, you only need to pay a higher interest rate of one to two weeks to complete the transaction, and the annual dividends of the bicycle company are enough to cover the interest on long-term loans, so that you can patiently wait for the appreciation, which is a high probability thing .�

Although Audrey has not received a complete business and financial education, she has a father who is a big banker. Say, I only need to pay two or three hundred pounds to get 10% of the bicycle company's shares?"

"Maybe a little less." Earl Hall said with a smile.

Audrey understood what her father meant. As the largest shareholder of Bavat Bank and the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, he was capable enough to allow his daughter to obtain short-term loans with reasonable interest.

"Thank you, dear count." With a smile on her face, Audrey lifted her skirt and saluted.

Under the moonlight at night, the water was dark blue and almost black. Alger Wilson stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the quietly crawling silhouette of Pasu Island.

This is the headquarters of the Church of the Storm, a place favored by the true God!

As a middle-level member of the church, Alger remembered that he had only been here three times. One was to find the "Blue Avenger" and was promoted to "Navigator"; one was to report on his duties last year; A mixed-race boy with dark blue hair was selected into the headquarters and became a part of the children's choir, but he was sent away without any singing talent, and returned to work as a servant in the small church on the island where he was born, while the priest there He is very rude to his subordinates.

Whenever he recalled this experience, his expression would become rather solemn, eager to ascend to a high position.

Amidst the sound of the wind, the "Blue Avenger" moved forward quietly and headed for the port.

Backlund, who had also entered the night, and Emlyn White, who was wearing a neat formal suit and a silk top hat, lurked outside the mansion of another blood baron, Russ Bathory.

He believed that the other party would take action soon and take back the bait, and for a blood race, such a night with a red moon was very suitable for hunting.

After an unknown amount of time, Emlyn's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a figure jumping down from the window facing the back of the house, and landed silently.

Under the crimson but dim moonlight, Emlyn took out a metal vial, unscrewed the cap, and Gulu took a sip.

Then, he seemed to turn into a shadow, floating on the wall and ground, quickly and silently following Ruth Bathory.

The blood race has always been known for its speed. The two barons ran one after the other in the dark alleys and the edges of the dark streets. It took more than half an hour to reach the chaotic and dirty East District, and stopped in front of an old apartment.

Seeing that Russ Bathory chose to climb the pipe and go to the third floor with the least noise, Emlyn slowed down and did not rush to follow behind him, because it would be easy to be spotted.

After serious consideration for two seconds, he took out a translucent perfume-like bottle, unscrewed the cap, pressed it down, and sprayed the liquid inside on his body. JrNovels.com
