NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 278

Time bomb (2)

The hot summer has passed and autumn, with its chilly mornings and evenings, has arrived.

But unlike the cool, almost chilly weather outside, the New York Stock Exchange was abuzz with people looking only at the stock prices.

“Buy 20 contracts! Buy!”

“Sell 2 contracts?”

“Buy! Yeah! Buy this little shit!”

“No, why are you buying it? Sell it! Sell it!”

“Raise it! Raise it even if it means spending all the money you have!”

In the blink of an eye, people gathered in a silent battlefield where tens and hundreds of millions of dollars were exchanged, shouting and screaming.

This was done to communicate in a noisy stock exchange like a flea market.

They have one purpose.

It was just money.

“Yahoo! It’s going up steadily!”

“Yeah, put more, more… … . more!”

“Let’s make the Dow go over 350 today!!!”

In the hearts of those who are fascinated by the stock market, which shows a steady upward trend even amidst continuous bad news, one firm belief has taken root.

‘Stocks never fail!’

‘The market is unchanging, and the future of the United States is only victory!’

‘It’s stupid to put your money in the bank.’

‘One stock investment can change your life!’

It was truly a time of madness.

Everyone who had money was pouring money into stocks, various options, and derivatives, so even when all sorts of bad news broke out, U.S. stock prices remained strong.

Even in a situation where inventory was piling up in warehouses because products were not selling, corporate profits were decreasing, and unemployment was also rising significantly, the fact that U.S. stock prices were still able to soar was thanks to the efforts of those who had a great faith in capitalism.

But just as there is no flower in the world that stays red for more than ten days, and even a fun party eventually comes to an end, their happiness did not last long.

“Sir! This year, steel production and automobile sales have decreased… …?”

“What? Why all of a sudden?”

“It seems like people aren’t buying cars.”

“The game is so good? Why is everyone acting like this?”

“I don’t know either.”

Red flags warning of danger are already beginning to flash across U.S. economic indicators.

It’s not a noticeable change yet, but it’s enough to make anyone in the industry who’s sensitive to the economy take a look.

“Hey, it’s probably just temporary, but how about some Japanese Imperial gold and silver?”

“That’s a bit strange too.”

“What else is strange?”

“That’s… … the price of Japanese gold is falling.”

“Falling? What do you mean?”

“No, that’s… … .”

* * *

[The storm is coming! Gold King Yun Deok-yeong, who owns the largest gold mine in Asia and dozens of gold and silver mines, will further increase gold shipments starting next year.]

[Japanese Empire decides to export dozens of tons of gold every year!]

[Prince Yasuhito, Regent of the Imperial Japanese Empire, to become the world’s largest gold exporter starting next year.]

Currently, most of the world’s gold is mined in South Africa, a colony of the British Empire, and the United States of America.

The gold produced in these two places far exceeded the gold produced in the entire world.

Of course, South Africa in this era was not yet able to mine large quantities due to difficulties in expanding infrastructure and facilities, but it still boasted an enormous mining volume.

But the Empire of Japan came between the golden empires of Great Britain and the United States of America.

That too in terms of gold mining.

Naturally, people around the world wondered how so much gold could come from Japan.

“No, how is it that so much gold is sleeping in that small land in Asia?”

“This is surprising.”

“I was worried that the economy would be shaken by the soaring price of gold… … But that’s fortunate.”

Our great lord began to release gold into the market indiscriminately as if he had defeated some enemy.

It was only natural that the market would fluctuate greatly as huge amounts ranging from 10 to 20 tons to several tens of tons were released at once.

However, when the Korean people heard this news, one question arose in their minds.

“No, there was that much gold in Joseon?”

“Oh my… … . Lord Daegal sold out the country, and now he’s even selling off Joseon’s gold.”

“I said that to him, he’s crazy about money.”

People were surprised at the fact that there was so much gold in Joseon, and then they clicked their tongues at the greed of Daegal, who was selling such precious gold to other countries to fill his own pockets.

“Yoon Deok-yeong is really obsessed with money.”

It wasn’t much different for this doctor.

The doctor read the news of the world in the newspaper today and grumbled and cursed the great lord.

“Oh, that’s what I ordered.”

“… … ?”

“I personally ordered the company to sell all the gold it had left.”

“Are you talking about all of Joseon’s gold?”

“yes.”

The doctor folded the newspaper carefully, put it aside, and leaned back comfortably against the back of the chair as he asked me.

“So, what are you thinking this time? Oh, is this part of the plan you had last time to make the price of gold negative?”

“Similar.”

“I see. But what can we do about this? The price of gold is falling day by day, but the minus you mentioned doesn’t seem to come until the end of the world.”

“Haha, you wouldn’t know that, would you?”

My calm smile must have really irritated the doctor, because he frowned and said:

“Look, Mr. Lee, what you’re doing right now is just throwing money on the ground.”

“They actually throw money on the ground.”

“what?”

“Why, you know the money I received from Mr. Rockefeller last time? I’ve just spent half of it.”

“What, what?! If it’s half… … . We’ve already spent all 300 million dollars!”

“It’s about 200 million dollars to be exact.”

“Have you ever seen such a crazy author! He received that money last year, and he spent that much money in just over a year!”

The doctor screamed in shock, his heart almost bursting out of his mouth, at the thought that I had burned two hundred million dollars.

“Where on earth did you spend all that money!”

At this doctor’s question, I chuckled and patted my pockets.

“I gave it a thorough washing machine wash and then slipped it into my back pocket.”

“Laundry… … ? Back pocket… … ? That means… … .”

“Yes, I took some.”

“… … .”

The doctor’s face turned pale.

“What, what does that mean… … . Are you now scamming the Rockefeller family… … ?”

“No. Strictly speaking, it is not a scam.”

“what……?”

I smiled, took two documents out of my pocket, and waved them in front of Dr. Lee.

“Do you know what this is?”

“… … .”

“You don’t know.”

He spread out the documents in front of the doctor.

The white part of the document was paper and the black part was writing. Fortunately, the black part was writing that the doctor could read.

“Technology transfer agreement?”

The contract had the emblem of the British Empire stamped on the bottom.

“And the British Empire too?”

“To be exact, the technical contract was signed not with the British mainland, but with the colonial government of South Africa.”

“Technology? What kind of technology contract did you sign?”

“Of course it’s mining technology.”

“Mining technology?”

Originally, market prices were created at the point where the graphs of supply and demand intersected.

As we all know, when there is high demand but low supply, prices rise, and when there is high supply but low demand, prices fall. Isn’t this the very reason?

So what does it take to manipulate the international gold price?

Gold is a commodity that always has a constant demand but is in short supply.

Because for gold to appear on the market, it is not enough to just mine gold.

In the first place, the amount of gold sleeping underground is limited, and even if you mine gold ore, not all of it is gold. Since pure gold has to be extracted from the ore, the supply is bound to be limited.

So, the international gold price has always been stable or has generally risen due to a surge in demand.

“But if Japanese gold that has been piling up here for years is released into the market, isn’t it natural for prices to fluctuate?”

“But didn’t you say last time that there wasn’t much gold accumulated in that company called Dongyang Mining or something?”

“Yes, that’s right. Even if you save it for a few months, it’s not like you’ll accumulate a ton of gold.”

He took a quick look at his sleeping documents and showed me the contracts with both South Africa and Australia.

“That’s why we signed technology agreements with the Commonwealth of South Africa and the Commonwealth of Australia.”

“… … ?”

The doctor blinked.

As if he didn’t know anything.

“No, why aren’t those two areas originally famous for having a lot of gold?”

“That’s true, but… … I don’t think it’s enough to affect the international gold price.”

“Hehehe… … . I guess not?”

As far as I remember… … no, according to the information on my soulmate’s notebook, South Africa is a country that once exported over 1,000 tons of gold per year.

It is a land of opportunity with so much gold hidden that it ranks among the top gold exporters even today.

Australia has also been famous for its gold production since its early days up until the present.

So I thought.

If even the old mining methods of the past can boast this level of mining yield, what would happen if the latest mining technology was added to it?

“A huge amount of gold will soon flood the market.”

“A huge amount of gold? Is the technology you gave me really that good?”

“Um… … . It’s still a technology that is too difficult to utilize properly.”

Well, that doesn’t mean that the mining volume will increase noticeably or anything.

No matter what, it is true that the technological prowess of this era is far inferior to that of modern times.

“Then in the end, nothing will change.”

“If you think about it that way, then yes. But the point is this.”

An unidentified inventor has handed over cutting-edge mining technology to the South African and Australian governments and invested in mines.

“Why is that important?”

“Haha, if you just talk like this, it’s just a light news topic that can be seen at any time.”

But what if we combined this with the story that shook the world before?

“What do you mean by combining?”

“Didn’t the Japanese Empire lift its ban on gold exports a while ago and start exporting gold again?”

“yes.”

“And then the company of the gold king, Yun Deok-yeong, started putting a huge amount of gold on the market.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“So, if we combine these two… … what do you think?”

“Combine?”

The doctor still seemed to not understand what I was saying.

Well, if you understand what I’m saying here, that was a problem in its own right.

“The technology that was transferred to South Africa and Australia is the latest mining technology that originally came from Yoon Deok-young’s company.”

“what?”

The doctor seemed to have finally figured it out.

“So… … Joseon’s gold was made using Yun Deok-yeong’s latest mining technology… … and he sold that technology to the South African and Australian governments?”

“Yes.”

“… … But did Yoon Deok-young have such a skill?”

“No.”

“?”

But people will believe that.

“What will people who believe that think later?”

“Yeah.”

I think that starting next year, gold will flood the market and I will sell off all the gold I have.

“Then the price of gold will fall.”

“Then let’s try to take a minus.”

“Is that possible?”

“Maybe it is possible.”

“her.”

The doctor asked me with a snicker.

“Yes, everything will come true as you said. So what is it that you intend to do?”

“This international fraud must be exposed.”

“You’re saying I’ll get caught?”

“Yes, and when the price of gold skyrocketed and each country had problems issuing currency… … .”

“When did it happen?”

I poked Dr. Lee’s cheek with my index finger.

“… … What is this?”

“I’m going to burst the bubble.”
