Chapter 2470

For the first time, His Excellency the Governor felt what people often call "dizzy".

As a noble from the upper class of the empire, from the moment he was born, apart from dealing with his brothers and sisters, he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Even when dealing with those brothers and sisters, most of the time it is his personal staff who advise him.

He only needs to choose a suitable strategy, then arrange people to execute it, and then quietly wait for the results.

If you succeed, you will naturally be happy.

Failed?

He could fail many times before deciding who would inherit the title.

And even if he completely failed in the end, as long as he bowed his head in time, he would still be active in the aristocratic class of the empire with titles such as "brother of a great nobleman" or "cousin of a great nobleman".

As long as some bottom lines are maintained, the family will basically not kill all their brothers and sisters at every turn like the royal family.

And this is one of the biggest differences between the aristocracy and the royal family.

He had never been so angry in his life. In addition to the anger of being deceived, his face was smashed to the ground by that damn Mr. Edward, and was smashed to pieces!

Two days ago, he not only used his niece as a tool to win over the liar, but also praised Mr. Edward as an outstanding businessman and an excellent businessman in front of many nobles, and even said that he would become his family!

When he thought of this, His Excellency the Governor's face turned redder than ever before, even redder than the first time he peeked at the maid taking a shower!

He looked at the butler, his eyes as if they could spit out fire at any time.

"Find him. I want to see him come back to me alive. Don't kill him!"

The steward left the room behind him, and within a few minutes all the violent institutions of the entire province began to act.

The police, military police, and even the investigation team took action!

They were searching for any trace of Mr. Edward.

The Governor then made another phone call and told the person on the other end of the phone to suppress the spread of the news as much as possible.

Once the news of Edward's escape spreads, the situation will become even more corrupt!

The nobles don’t have much money anymore——

The money here refers to money in the real sense, federal sol.

In fact, the nobles are still very rich. Their art collections, their gold, and their jewelry are all money!

But these wealth and "money" are two different things.

The nobles of Pengeo naturally have Austrian dollars in the bank, and they will not exchange them all into federal soles before the war begins.

So when the Australian dollar is depreciating crazily, their monetary wealth is also shrinking crazily.

For example, His Excellency the Governor, this time he took out almost 12 million federal soles.

If converted into Austrian dollars, it would be about 220 million.

Before the devaluation of the Austrian dollar, these currencies could easily be exchanged for about 70 to 75 million federal soles.

But now, it is worth 12 million, and he only exchanged it from the bank because he was the governor.

He doesn't have a lot of cash in his hands now, and this scam has basically depleted the cash pool in his hands!

He can no longer come up with "big" figures. Even one million federal soles is now difficult to come up with.

Whether it is Gaevra or Penteo, selling off assets will always be one of the symbols of the decline of the nobility.

If the governor is not willing to sell off his assets until the last moment, this will make other people in the family think that making him the patriarch of the family is a stupid decision!

If this news leaks out now, it will definitely cause a big disturbance.

The most important thing is that he and his family will lose the ability to seize opportunities in this huge change in the social system!

After hanging up the phone, he returned to the other room with a gloomy face.

As soon as he entered the room, a big nobleman smiled and said, "Just now... I said that the people of the Federation are very good at doing business. One of his distant relatives went to the Federation two years ago."

"In just two years, his net worth has increased more than ten times!"

"And...it's truly a place full of wonders."

"Remember the young man named Lynch who gave the speech?"

"He did not come from a political family, nor did he come from a big capitalist family. His father was an ordinary factory worker, and his mother was just an ordinary housewife."

"He grew up in a shantytown-like ghetto and went to all the crap schools he'd ever heard of."

"But he is such a guy. He has used his outstanding vision to become one of the most successful capitalists in the Federation!"

The nobleman who spoke sighed, and that sigh came from the heart, because in addition to incredible emotions such as "amazement" and "praise" for Lynch's achievements, this sigh also included "jealousy", "greed", Negative emotions such as “helplessness”.

This may be the helplessness adults encounter occasionally. The rising sun has nothing to do with them.

"I heard that Lynch has more than 20 billion in funds, half of which is in cash."

"This does not include the debt of ... two countries."

“It’s really unimaginable how there could be such a person in this world!”

Mr. Twenty Billion is the upgraded nickname after Mr. Ten Billion, but not many people shout it because the federal people don’t know how much money Lynch actually has.

Moreover, the federal people attach great importance to these personal privacy issues. Even if there is any rich list, if Lynch does not personally express his willingness to "be on the list", then no one has the right to publish these data.

Otherwise, they would have violated Lynch's personal privacy. In the federation, it is okay to offend the president, but do not offend capitalists and wealthy people.

Only foreigners like to talk about how much money Lynch has and how to calculate clearly the money that bothers him.

As for the national debt…

So far, Gaevra's debt of approximately 8 billion federal soles owed to Lynch has not been repaid, and it is far away.

If they want to pay off this debt, they can't end it by spending so much money. They also have to spend another amount of money to completely acquire Blackstone Bank (Gevra's headquarters).

At the same time, Peng Jieao also owed Lynch a large amount of money. This was also a bad debt. It was hard to say whether he could repay it, but it was definitely a headache.

Based on this calculation, Lynch's wealth is really amazing!

If you include Slem's wealth...

Everyone in the room was silent. When money reaches a certain level, even power will be eclipsed!

The Governor's expression was not very good, and others also noticed this, "You look like there is something wrong with you."

When asked about the noble question, His Excellency the Governor hesitated for a moment and did not hide anything. He truthfully told the fact that Edward had run away.

"I've sent people to catch him. As long as he doesn't run away from Pengeo, I believe he won't be able to hide for long."

"As for the money in the bank, I'm already arranging for people to chase it..."

There were some tail parts in the words and they were not finished. Everyone knew in their hearts that what was left unfinished and unsaid was actually bad news.

This money will most likely not be traced.

The current international situation is very delicate. More than half of the countries in the world seem to be ready to find fault with the Pengjiao Empire anytime and anywhere, and neutral countries are involved.

Even if the Governor has great power, he cannot affect the attitude of the overseas bank.

They don't want to cooperate, they just don't want to cooperate, so they can only find ways to find connections or find a public relations team.

The nobles didn't particularly care about being defrauded of their money. The amount of their investment was actually not very large, more than two million, and less than three to five million.

Not all nobles can be as rich as the Governor. After all, he is the Governor and has military and political power.

This loss is not fatal to the nobles, but it makes them have less cash in their hands, which is a bit troublesome.

"Do you need our help?"

His Excellency the Governor shook his head, "Don't spread this matter for now. We will talk about it after we have the result."

He paused as he spoke, "I'm sorry, something like this happened suddenly. I no longer have the interest to continue chatting. That's it for today."

While he was apologizing, he stood up, and other nobles also stood up one after another. They could understand that the Governor had suffered the most.

And the loss of money is only part of it, the lost face is the most important!

After all, the Governor is very optimistic about this project and strongly recommends it. If he must be held accountable, the Governor will even have to pay for everyone's losses on his behalf.

His Excellency the Governor sent the nobles to the gate, watched them leave in the car, and then returned to the study angrily.

He made several more calls, but no good news came back, including those who were tracing the bank's fund flows, and no good news came back.

That money, close to 100 million, rapidly flowed through tens of thousands of accounts in multiple countries, and eventually disappeared.

The bank also refused to provide detailed funds flow documents, and as banks in multiple neutral and non-neutral countries were involved, the person responsible for investigating the matter could only express helplessness.

The idea of ​​tracing the flow of money to where it ends up and who uses it is, without a doubt, going nowhere.

It really sucks!

What's worse is that the Governor has requested that it not be leaked, but the news still leaked out...

All investors called the governor to inquire about the specific situation of the matter. The local mayor also called the governor to ask how to solve the follow-up issues of relocation.

Now a large number of people are ready for demolition, and some residents have even moved out one after another.

If by any chance it stops now...
