"Fufufu. Look, Mr. Alphonse."I'm finally going to have enough assets to be called a millionaire. "
"... no, no, what are you doing, Christina?"
"What, it's a business." I've never had a chance to make as much money as this.Make money when you can.That's what a merchant does. "
Christina, who came to me with a smile on her face, says that.
Looks like you've been making a lot of money on your luggage in the wake of the recent upsurge in magic tool prices.
Until a few years ago, she travelled to the foothills of the mausoleum, a variant of the periphery, and now she is called one of the most millionaire people in the Orient country.
You can't be unhappy.
"But it's about time you pulled your hand back."Theon said that he would occupy the future, but this enthusiasm won't last long.The end is bound to come. At that time, if you hold a lot of magic items in your arms, you'll go bankrupt. "
"It's okay. The magic tools are still rising in price."Besides, all the magic tools I'm buying are highly secure, so I'm fine.Don't worry, Alphonse-san, I didn't buy any magic tools that wouldn't even start up. "
It's okay to make money.
But it can also be dangerous.
That's how I drew Christina's attention, but she insisted it was okay.
Christina's argument is that there is no problem because she mainly handles well-functioning magic items and makes profits.
But is that the case?
Originally, it far exceeded the market price of the magic props we built in New Barca and sold via Banage, so I don't think it is a safe asset because it is a magic props that can be used properly anymore.
"One more time, Cristina."It's time to stop. I like to fight, and I'm going to do it when there's danger, but I know it's important to think about retreating when it's really dangerous.It was dangerous to think about the price of magic tools.If you can't see that, that's fine.
"...... I'm sorry, Mr. Alphonse. Actually, I think I'm a little unusual, too.But as a merchant, you can't pull it off here because you're actually making profits.But I get it. Making money is important, but it doesn't make sense if you lose your trust.For me, I'm more afraid of losing trust with Mr. Alphonse than I am of a lot of money, and I think I'll stop. "
"I see. It would be great if you could say that."Rather, it's the future that matters.Isn't it okay for Christina to make money over there? "
"Oh, that sounds interesting."Mr. Alphonse's future prediction is that the price of magic tools will drop rapidly.I know it's going to hurt you, so I'll tell you to stop, but will that lead to a profit story? "
Of course. The aim is the land.
"Land?... I see. I think I know what Alphonse wants to say."Now, if a crash occurs so that those who are making money with magic tools will go bankrupt, the bankrupt will release what will be their own money.Isn't that land that's headed by real estate? "
"Oh, thank goodness Christina understands so quickly."Exactly. They're looking for people with expensive land in the city and villages.Especially since the Manor is losing money in futures trading last year, it seems that they are investing a lot of money in this magic item market for reversal.Continuing from last year, it's more obvious than looking at the fire what would happen if we lost a lot of money this year. ”
"That's interesting, that means we should cash out all the money we've earned so far."So, I bought land everywhere that became available for tapping.Maybe I can become a real landlord, not just a wealthy millionaire. "
Cristina was a little blinded by the money and seemed to be unable to make a normal decision.
I don't know how you feel.
Who wouldn't welcome a situation where they have more and more assets every day?
If people tell you to stop making money in such situations, it's hard to stop.
But apparently, I'm slightly outnumbered by that kind of money.
I might not have stopped if someone else had told me, but you promised me that you would lose your trust in me and that you would withdraw from the magic tool market.
But I don't know how long it will last.
As a merchant, I don't think I'd want to make a fortune.
It was also Zion's fortune, but since this enthusiasm was about to continue for a while, it was possible that it would plunge into the magic tool market again after a while.
Therefore, I propose another earning story as well.
It was my policy after all this frenzy.
How do you act in the event of a crash after a frenzy?
It means getting the land.
Buying land can be difficult.
The land in the city is not sold very often.
In addition, useful land is limited in non-urban rural areas.
Because small groups of countries around here are often flooded, it has been decided that the land is relatively safe and suitable for agricultural land, etc., which has been known for a long time.
In such places, there are long-standing landowners, and it is difficult to obtain them.
But I think we can get it legally.
It was the artisans of the Orient that started the price spike this time.
But somehow things have changed, and now those who already have money are making more money.
And most people who have money are landowners.
That's because there are people living there, and even if you just take the rent from them, you can earn a steady income.
Let's get rid of it.
If you can buy land outside of the Orient country, you may be able to do so.
When Christina heard what I was thinking, she immediately began to account for the money.
I started to say that I would calculate how much the bourgeoisie was poking into the magic tool market, how much it would lose in the expected crash, and what land it would sell.
Together with Christina's movements, I began to carefully prepare for the land purchase while also using Eye's computational power.
