Every earthquake is accompanied by the rise of the metal tower, which is the most troublesome.

　　 "However, the probability of an earthquake today is not high. I have found a very professional fortune-teller for divination, so I chose it today."

　　 This is the result of Miss Audrey's divination. Yesterday, when Alexia went deep underground, the machine also confirmed that the probability that the black tower will rise on Sunday is very low, so there is no need to worry.

　　 "So good."

　　He took out the pocket watch from his pocket, saw the one presented by his brother John, put it back, and took out the lady's pocket watch of Alexia again and took a look at the time:

　　 "It's almost there, I'm going to be on stage."

　　 He inserted the tulip into the chest pocket of the suit, and then lifted the kerosene lamp on the table, which was an important prop for a while.

　　 "Sir, you will succeed!"

　　 Fini shook her small fist and encouraged. The other girls also encouraged Jenkins. Although her words were immature, they were all sincere. Jenkins smiled, picked up the cat and put it on his shoulder, and then sorted the hem of his shirt's formal suit against the floor-to-ceiling mirror at the door:

　　 "I will succeed."

　　 He said to himself in the mirror.

Standing at the front door of the lecture hall, he took a deep breath and spit it out slowly. After relaxing, he nodded to the servant at the door. Two people on the left and the right immediately pushed the two doors open, and the flashlight came on. Make Jenkins worry that he will scare his cat.

　　He stepped onto the red carpet and walked towards the hall. Everyone in the stepped lecture hall stood up and applauded to welcome Jenkins' arrival. The sound like a waterfall makes the ground seem to be shaking. This scene is somewhat spectacular. Everyone is watching this young man. Whether they like him or not, everyone knows that this will be the political star of the future kingdom. It may even be the owner of the land under the feet of everyone for the next few decades.

　　 The applause from behind stood up until Jenkins walked from the door to the podium at the end of the red carpet, without stopping. He raised his hands and pushed his palms forward, and people stopped applauding.

After 　　, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies took their seats. Only the flash facing the podium is still flashing. Contemporary cameras cannot achieve continuous shooting due to the heat dissipation of the flash. Otherwise, the spotlight will cause problems. Therefore, the newspaper has mobilized more cameras to ensure that there is at least one at every moment. The station can work.

　　 Originally, the City Hall wanted to arrange a host for Jenkins’s speech. At least he had to introduce him very seriously before he appeared on the stage. But Jenkins refused, so when everyone was seated, he was left to talk about the set "I am very happy today... it is my honor... about financial reform and the National Bank... .." and other opening remarks, and then welcomed all the guests who took the time to listen to the speech.

　　 It is worth mentioning the name that he welcomes, and only Queen Isabella, Sarhi II, and the second prince of the proud Takwen, the others are classified as "all other people who come".

The son of the southern prince who stayed in Nolan, the heir of the Aresou family, sat with the other two kings. Compared with Sarhi II and Queen Isabella, he was quite young, so he was more aggressive than the other two around him. The king is much worse.

　　 put his hands on the side of the cat on his shoulders, pinched its waist and placed the cat on the table in front of him. Chocolate immediately slipped to the corner of the table closest to Jenkins and lay down. It seemed that he had made up his mind that he would never get up before noon.

　　 "Thanks again to everyone, and also to Mr. Mayor for being able to provide this lecture hall."

　　 He paid tribute to Mr. Sachs Ruto in the fourth row, who also paid him back.

"This speech is mainly about financial reforms. I have noticed that since the beginning of this year, countries have been actively preparing for a new order of national banks, churches and some large industrial and commercial consortia, and are also trying to develop banking business. But the current The financial regulations in China are not perfect, the level of financial departments in various countries is uneven, and they have different attitudes and opinions when dealing with different fiscal actions, which makes some illegal and criminal activities rampant."

　　 Behind him is a specially installed giant blackboard. Jenkins pulled out a piece of chalk from the paper box in front of him, knocked it on the table in front of him, and then wrote the word "finance" behind him.

　　 "Then Viscount, do you want to talk about some examples of fiscal crimes today? I have heard your speech in Berdyland, and I have a very unique view on the exchange rate issue."

　　 Someone in the audience said loudly. Of course, this is a pre-arranged "reserve", such a formal large-scale speech event, it is generally not allowed to interrupt at will.

Chapter 1963 Chapter 1934 Tulip Mania

　　 "No, what I want is not an instance of financial crime. Even if I describe it verbally now, many people will still be confused, and it may even allow intelligent people to promote other more hidden and dangerous criminal methods."

　　 He replied loudly, which attracted everyone's approval, because it shows that Jenkins thinks that all the people here are smart people. 0

　　 "Do you remember the public speech I gave last year about the Fabry Scam?"

　　 He asked again that the "Fabry scam" that Jenkins has done since he came to this world can be regarded as the thing that Jenkins has done the most out of his own control last year.

　　 There was a voice immediately under the stage, and everyone nodded in agreement. Speaking of this matter, few people will forget. The speech of that speech has been sorted out, and after paying Jenkins a certain amount of gold, the speech has become a public publication. It is said that the number of printed editions is higher than that of "Stories of Foreigners" and "Frozen".

　　 Of course, if the fact that Jenkins is Miss Fabry is made public, I am afraid that the printed version of the speech will be even higher.

"Fabry scam, although compared with the financial game of manipulating numbers, is still somewhat simple, but this scam has almost the same essence as some scams in the financial industry. I have to say that Miss Fabry is really A genius."

　　 he praised.

　　 Hathaway, who was sitting with Britney and Jessica with her head down, suppressed her smile. Thinking about it now, the fact that Jenkins is Miss Fabry still amazes her. Knowing that Jenkins is all believers of lies, Miss Fabry's true identity naturally understood.

　　 From the perspective of her who knows the truth now, the Fabry scam is actually nothing. "Miss Fabry is Jenkins" is the most exciting scam.

　　 Until today, Hathaway still does not believe that the guy who can represent the image of "the smartest woman of this age" in her impression is actually the strange young man next to her who looks simple and honest and likes cats.

　　 Although Miss Fabry is an out-and-out bad person, but because of that scam, no more people were accidentally harmed, and the superb ingenuity amazed people. Therefore, the existence of Miss Fabry has become a symbol of female wisdom. If civilization can continue, it may become synonymous with women's rights in the future, and become a symbol of the era of women's awakening.

　　 "Actually I married Miss Fabry."

　　 Hathaway said in her heart, her smile finally could not be restrained.

"Please don't underestimate such a scam, from the west coast of the mainland to the east coast, from the Westminster River in Nolan to the Leaning Tower of Farris in the city of a thousand trees, from the mansions of everyone here to the southern forest. The tents of the primitive tribes here, only these most universal scams can best represent the truth of the most simple and basic financial scams.

　　 We have to look at the essence through the truth, and before analyzing the essence, it is the most important and useful thing to understand what has happened, not what I have assumed. Therefore, although today's speech still focuses on financial reform, the main content I want to talk about is another scam, a scam that has already happened and is around us. "

In the center of the first row, Queen Isabella’s face remained unchanged, and Salci II rubbed his chin with a smile. The young Arecio looked at Jenkins blankly. He really didn’t understand, but he felt Jenkins's speech is indeed very powerful.

　　 No one came to ask Jenkins what he was going to talk about this time, so he pulled out the tulip that was inserted in the chest pocket of his shirt and held it high for everyone to see:

　　 "Investing in tulips, how many people in this room made gold pounds? Oh, congratulations, scammers for success. Today's theme is tulips."

　　It was as if a cannonball exploded in a lecture hall, and the noise of noisy discussions exploded almost immediately. People kept a polite and low voice to discuss with the people around them, and the voices gathered together showed the turmoil caused by this topic.

　　 The high price of tulips has long been noticed by interested people. Although those who are eligible to invest large sums of money may not always be in the lecture hall, many people who come to listen to the speech are indeed participating in the tulip business.

　　 Jenkins put the bunch of flowers on the table. The chocolate is not very friendly to the "new neighbors". Its belly is stuck on the table, almost "creeping" and sniffing the vase. After the cat's whiskers trembled a few times, he pushed the flower with his small paw, but Jenkins immediately patted his paw. So he completely lost interest and continued to lie back to the original position.

　　 "I think many people have noticed that since about a month ago, the price of tulips in this city has increased significantly. If you compare past prices, you will understand how outrageous this increase is."

　　 He waved his hand to the audience, and the servants immediately took the huge canvas that had been drawn, climbed up the ladder, and pasted it on the upper left corner of the blackboard.

　　 That is a line chart drawn by Jenkins. It shows the trend of average tulip prices in the same season in the past few years, that is, summer, and the trend of tulip prices from last summer to this summer.

　　 He not only completed the drawing of the graph, but also filled in the data source and simple arithmetic mean, variance and other data in the margins on the side of the line graph. This is the advantage of preparation in advance. Even if Jenkin was not a student of economics before, he was very familiar with drawing charts and analyzing data.

　　 He picked up the telescopic teaching rod placed on the table, and pulled away the chocolate that he didn't know why he suddenly pressed the teaching rod with a small paw. With a light flick, swing the teaching rod long, then come to the bottom of the blackboard and point to the data above.

　　 The people sitting at the back of the lecture theatre have already stood up and set up their telescopes. It is not a telescope for military operations, but a thin brass-colored metal rod connected to a binocular, which is more like a telescope of an exquisite handicraft. This type of telescope is often used in theaters and racetracks, but it is not common to appear among audiences at lectures.

　　 "These data can clearly prove that this year's tulip price trend is different from the past ten years. Whether it is from the data statistics in days above or the histogram with months as the abscissa, this conclusion is very clear."

　　 He spoke in great detail, and then stated the reliability of his data source. Finally, he waved his hand at the fat businessman standing nervously down the stage, the businessman nodded quickly, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and walked off the stage holding his hat with both hands.

　　 "This is the owner of the Peter Pan flower shop two blocks away from the city hall. Let him talk about his feelings about the changes in the price of tulips this year. I think this can help understand this strange price curve."

The owner of the 　　 flower shop was found with the help of Nature Church, and Jenkins reviewed the content of the speech at this moment. The scam is carried out by himself, and Jenkins is in full control of how to expose it.

　　 Compared to the last time he made a very sudden and hasty decision to expose the truth of the scam for Mr. Barnard’s family, this time he was well prepared, even if someone in the audience was planning to refute him without opening his eyes, he could deal with it calmly. Because, from the beginning to the end of this matter, there are traces of him in every corner, and he can't make mistakes.

　　While the nervous flower shop owner talked about the changes in the purchase price and shipment price of tulips in his store in the past two months, a rumbling sound seemed to be heard in the distance.

　　 I thought it was going to rain at first, it was the thunder from high in the sky. But carefully distinguished, it seems to be a series of explosions. But it was very far away from the city hall, and the place where the explosion occurred was definitely not the downtown area of ​​Nolan.

　　 Jenkins thought of the news that mechanized corpses from the church appeared in the city before the speech.

　　 "Isn't it resolved yet?"

　　 He is a little worried, but the mechanized curse of the corpse is not a big problem, nor is it a problem that only he can solve. At present, the affairs of the city hall are the most important. The throne is related to the emblem of the savior, and the tulip incident to the divinity, neither of these two things can be delayed.

　　 When the florist’s three-minute explanation was over, most of the others understood what Jenkins wanted to express. Then Jenkins invited Fini's friend to explain what he saw and heard about selling flowers on the street.

　　 Their story is different from that of the flower shop owner. The flower shop owner mainly talks about price changes, while they talk about people’s obsession with tulips and various accidents caused by tulips.

　　 Flower sellers are active on the street, and people tend to ignore these short girls when they don’t need to buy flowers. Therefore, they occasionally hear things that shouldn't be heard.

Based on what they heard, this counts as one-tenth of the story they tell, plus nine-tenths of what Jenkins made up about "borrow money to buy tulips, use the money earned to mortgage, The story of borrowing more money to buy tulips for profit" or the story of "the fish seller took the family's savings for 30 years to buy a tulip bulb of rare color", which together constituted a very shocking "tulip mania."

　　 "Tulip Mania" is a combination vocabulary uttered by Jenkins. He chalked the word next to "Finance". Many people are also aware of the abnormality of this phenomenon. Although there was no concept of finance in the past, it is not difficult to understand that raising prices is something that happens in every era.

　　 "No, this is not simply driving up prices."

　　 Jenkins seemed to have guessed what people were thinking. He shook his head and asked the Duke of Rochester, who was sitting behind Queen Isabella.

　　 "Duke, what is the most serious consequence of driving up prices?"

　　 "Citizens cannot buy cheap necessities, so they can only buy them at high prices, which will squeeze other living expenses and cause the family's living standards to decline. If prices continue to remain high, then it may cause civil riots."

　　 Although the Duke is young, he still has some basic common sense.

　　 "So this is not about driving up prices. If the price of tulips has been raised, then I won't buy them. Tulips are not a necessity."

　　 He looked at the people in the audience:

　　 "The consequences caused by the tulip madman can directly destroy all the wealth that Nolan has accumulated since the steam age."

Section 1964 Chapter 1935 Closure of the City Hall (plus more everything)

　　 "Most of you here came back to Nolan a month ago, and you must be able to discover the stories the little girls just told me."

　　 He avoided the problems that the tulip mania might cause, but continued to talk down according to his thoughts. The appearance of the flower girl just now is to make the story more real, and also to make it easier for them to appear later.

"Many people have noticed this kind of thing, but you may not care...If you care, you don’t need me to say it here. But it makes sense not to care. After all, every year, every year For this reason, the prices of some commodities fluctuate abnormally. For example, I remember that in the summer of last year, Nolan’s rice and noodles experienced a period of crazy price increases."

　　 This is the information provided by the memory of the original owner. Although he is a wandering boy who wanders the street all day, he does not only throw **** in other people's yards. He also pays attention to occasional life anecdotes.

　　 "But the price increase of tulips this year is obviously different from previous years. If you will..."

　　 There was another strange noise outside, this time it was still an explosion, and it was still coming from far away. But this time it was muffled. If the series of noises just now were sounds from the surface, then this time it was like a steam bomb exploding in the mound.

"what's going on?"

　　 He continued his speech while thinking. In order to prove that "the madness of tulip prices this summer is an anomaly", I then cited a lot of evidence and almost covered the blackboard behind me with canvas.

　　 finally said the core of this speech:

"Therefore, the skyrocketing price of tulips is the result of human manipulation. Combined with the current situation of people's excessive pursuit of tulips that I have listed, it can basically be equivalent to that the price of tulips has surpassed its own value and has become a An investment object with appreciation performance has become a symbol without an underlying object. This is the result of human manipulation, so the people behind, or what people want to do, are definitely not simply trying to make tulips and tulip bulbs. Appreciation. As for the purpose...sorry."

　　 He glanced at the lady's pocket watch on the table:

　　 "Fifteen minutes after an intermission. Also...The City Hall can be entered now, but no one can go out."

　　 "Viscount, why is this?"

　　 Someone shouted in the audience, this was also arranged by Jenkins to prevent the servants around Queen Isabella from speaking first.

　　 "I think smart people probably already understand what I want to say. Therefore, in order to prevent my speech from directly impacting the local tulip market, no one is allowed to leave the city hall until the end of the speech.

　　 For this, I have obtained the consent of the mayor, Mr. Sachs Ruto, who has mobilized the police outside the city hall. "

　　 Mr. Mayor is one of the supporters that Jenkins has won. The reason is simple, not because he hates the queen, nor because he is a loyal follower of Middleton, nor because Jenkins has promised any benefits. This is just because Jenkins is a Nolan.

　　 "This is a bit rude."

　　 Behind the Queen, the Duke of Rochester sitting in the second row said.

"It's ok."

　　Queen Isabella looked at Jenkins and shook her head slightly:

　　 "I think Jenkins must have his reason. Just as he debunked the Fabry scam and bought time to freeze the funds in the bank account and save the unfortunate people who did not deceive, he can also save some people this time."

　　 "Since you say that, I don't think I have any problems."

　　Sarhi II also said, so the young King of Chesland, Brill Areciou, also agreed, so that the others would not object.

In fact, the original plan was for the people behind Salhi II to act as a black face and debate with Jenkins about the meaning of blocking the city hall, so that Jenkins can logically use "reason" to explain the reason for not letting people go out. Finally, Salhi Hee II announced that he supported Jenkins because he was persuaded.

　　 He did not expect Queen Isabella to agree directly. You must know that asking the police to surround the city hall is a very obvious signal in itself. As long as she has heard the recent rumors, it is impossible not to think of something.

"Does she have any other cards? Impossible. Neither Jessica nor the church found any results, and the church sent a team to'protect' her, which also ensured that she would never be able to interact with any illegal organization again. Getting in touch... Is it trusting my character and thinking that it is impossible for me to force her to abdicate in this way? No, it won't be that simple."

　　 Jenkins thought suspiciously, grabbed his cat, temporarily left the podium, and walked into the corridor from the side door.

　　 "Jessica was just called away by Queen Isabella's people and they found her."

　　 As soon as he came out, he ran into Britney who came around from the front door.

　　 "It's okay, I'm afraid it's just asking about the situation, not wanting to'imprison' her again."

"how do you know?"

　　 Britney asked.

　　 "Even if it's really'imprisoned', and I don't let her help me at the last minute, I have other ways, so don't worry about it. What about Hathaway?"

　　 "In the bathroom."

　　Bryney gestured towards the corner of the corridor, which was the direction of the bathroom.

　　 "Also... the speech is very good, really, very good."

　　 As she said, she put her toes around Jenkins and gave him a pretty good kiss:
