I Became A Black Merchant In Another World-Chapter 392: Ponzi scheme (6)

I am the one who planned and led this Ponzi scheme.

This is an irrefutable fact that the heavens, the earth, and I know.

However, few people know that I am the one who led this terrible scam.

Therefore, unless the heavens judge me, I will never pay the price in this life.

‘Should I blame someone else?’

That way, people won’t suspect me of being the culprit.

“Who should I blame for this bad guy?”

“Should I say it was the Kingdom of Granada, or the United Kingdom, or no. Then the Holy Empire...”

I think that unless the King of the Kingdom of Lyon is a chicken, even if one of those three countries did something bad, they wouldn’t believe it.

The Holy Empire is already divided into two factions, and they are busy fighting each other to death, so they don’t have the courage to think of or execute such an evil act as a Ponzi scheme.

The Kingdom of Granada has not yet introduced the stock system and is related to the King of Lyon, so it would be right to skip over it.

In the end, there was only one candidate left.

“The United Kingdom.”

The vast and glorious British Empire, which was the world’s largest company in terms of stock value and ruled over the most invested territory.

Although the United Kingdom here will still need a long time to awaken like the British Empire.

Judging by their actions, it seems that it is time to start throwing some punches here too.

‘The king and the council of nobles are balanced like the British Empire?’

Pretty cool. If the power balance between the king and nobles is right, it would be a good environment for the country to develop.

Right now, only our Tuscan Empire needs to develop, but they are trying to fly up too?

I cannot forgive those who put cucumber and whipped cream between sandwiches.

“How can we turn this around on the United Kingdom? As with all things, doing it half-heartedly is worse than doing nothing.”

I continued to ponder.

How can we make them realize that they’ve been scammed by a Ponzi scheme, and make them think that the person who put them in the pit of hell is a United Kingdom person?

And soon I came to a conclusion.

“If our empire is to get out of the line of suspicion, we have to claim to the Kingdom of Lyon that we were scammed in the same way. To do that, we need a real victim.”

Usually, when # Nоvеlight # you try this kind of trick, you end up creating a scene where I’m the victim...

But this method won’t work well for me.

I, who is said to have reached the sky in terms of money handling and business skills in the Tuscan Empire, or rather, the entire continent, am losing a huge amount of money in an investment?

Then the King of Lyon, who is very suspicious, might suspect me.

So I need a scapegoat who will die for me in the Tuscan Empire with tears in his eyes...

"If I'm going to kill someone, I'd rather kill someone from my side than someone from my enemy's side. For example, let's see... The Duke of Sforza would be perfect. He's very high-ranking and has a lot of wealth, so if he's cheated by a swindler, all the attention will be on him."

Someone once said,

The life of one ally is more valuable than the lives of a hundred enemies.

I agree with that.

It's not good to kill an enemy, but if you have to kill someone to survive, it's much better to kill an enemy than an ally.

"The days are long, so I have to find the right person right now."

And I found the right person right away.

**

"It's nice to see you, Kim Philby."

Kim Philby, a fairly famous communist in England.

A crazy author who came into contact with communism at a young age, abandoned his noble status, and jumped to the Soviet Union in search of a communist paradise.

Among the communist demigods I recruited, he was the only one whose nationality was the United Kingdom, so I remembered him, and that’s why I gave him that name.

Who would have thought that the day would come when I would actually use a person from the United Kingdom?

“It’s an honor, Viscount.”

“Relax. You can relax.”

I know that even if I say this, you won’t feel comfortable.

But I should at least say this so that I don’t feel bad, and it would be worse to just leave him alone without saying anything.

‘Being in a high position means worrying about these kinds of problems.’

“I called you this time because I wanted to ask you something very important.”

“I’ll make sure to listen carefully.”

“That’s a very desirable attitude. I like it.”

After giving him a compliment, I got straight to the point.

“I’ll get straight to the point. I’ll have to fool Sforza.”

“Are you telling me to be the dagger that kills Duke Sforza?”

Filby was taken aback by my words.

Well, it’s normal to feel taken aback when someone so high up suddenly calls you and orders you to fool him.

“There’s no one better for the job than you. No one else can do it than you.”

“Is that true?”

“Do I look like I have so much free time as to be talking nonsense with you? I’ve been looking through the records of the great men our firm is known for, and your background stands out among them. From what I’ve heard, you’re from the United Kingdom?”

“Yes, that’s right. You lived in the United Kingdom until you were 18, and then immigrated to Florence after your wife died of illness.”

“Good. Then, can I ask you again?”

Philby nodded after hearing me.

“I can do anything for you, my lord.”

“Okay, then I’ll tell you what you have to do. You are now an employee of the South Sea Company. And the South Sea Company is the company that Orsini is currently running in the Kingdom of Lyon. It’s a trading company that trades in things like cochineal, tobacco, and cocoa.”

And I made a gesture with my hand that made something burst.

“The South Sea Company will invest a huge amount of money, and when the time is right, they will take the invested money and escape to the New World. Do you have any idea why?”

“If you enter the Tuscan Empire by another route, there is a high probability that you will be tracked down. So I guess you changed the route.”

“That’s right. But that alone won’t be enough to completely fool the Kingdom of Lyon. So there have to be a lot of victims within the Tuscan Empire so that I can stick my feet out.”

If there is no damage to the Tuscan Empire, everyone will be suspicious.

No, those guys are bordering us, so why are they not damaged at all?

Whenever I think like this, even if they are not completely caught, they have reached the point where they will be caught.

“The person chosen as the victim in the process is Duke Sforza. He is our family’s enemy, so I plan to chew him out on this occasion.”

I think that throwing an enemy into the pit of hell is not a praiseworthy action, but it is not a cursed action.

“Okay. Then how should I specifically persuade him?”

“Don’t think about using complicated techniques or techniques. Just say that you are an employee of the South Sea Company and explain in detail how much income you have earned from the Kingdom of Lyon. And the reason we came here now is to join hands with His Majesty Sforza and say that we want to do something bigger, and that’s the end of it.”

Duke Sforza is just a moth to a flame.

If that guy had been even a little smarter than a moth, he wouldn’t have sent Archbishop Urban to me and extorted 20,000 gold coins as a tithe for no reason.

‘But that actually happened?’

He took my precious money, so I believe God will forgive me if I treat him a little cruelly.

“Will that be enough to convince you?”

“The stocks issued by the South Sea Company, which is currently scheming in the Kingdom of Lyon, paid a whopping 150% dividend interest last time. And the products it handles are things like cochineal and tobacco, and it’s even a monopoly. It’s a strange company that can’t make money.”

Imagine that the only company in the world that can make semiconductors is the Oseong Group.

In reality, that’s not the case, but if that’s the case, I should gather my soul and invest, right?

“You just have to explain this fact to the Duke of Sforza. Then he’ll swarm you like a mosquito to a person.” “There’s no one in this world who hates money. And if you have a clear track record of success, anyone would be fooled. I get it. But why on earth did you select me?”

This guy is a member of the Communist Blood Cult.

In other words, he is a very close ally of mine.

So I guess I can tell you the true meaning of this operation.

“If we eat all of the money of the Kingdom of Lyon, wouldn’t they be bloodshot and looking for the culprit? But if there are people among the high-ranking officials who can’t get rid of the word ‘United Kingdom’ and the habit like you, what will others think?”

“Your Majesty is truly amazing.”

“Yes, you must know that the United Kingdom is directly involved. The reason I selected you is a big one, but the most important thing is because I trust your ability and sincerity. You must succeed.”
