At the same time.
In the deepest part of the Gu Ling Pavilion, there is a magnificently decorated and large office.
Although the former Gulinge Wizard Bank has ceased operations today, judging by the hustle and bustle of this office, it is clear that for the fairies here, the universal work mechanism of the magical world is not fully applicable.
In fact, this busy situation has been going on for almost two weeks since the 20th of last month.
Dozens of fairies gather around a long wooden table to discuss what excites them. On the wooden table, a section of an image with a certain color distortion occasionally flashes. On the other side, a row of mahogany desks are perfectly aligned, and at each wooden desk, there is a glasses-wearing gnome calculating and processing documents on the desk.
Situated at the innermost level of the entire space, there are three separate independent offices. Occasionally, fairies can be seen entering or leaving the room with respect. Through the space between the open and closed door, one can vaguely see that the space inside is not small, and none of the fairies walk quickly.
"Oh my! The ruble's exchange rate against the US dollar has dropped by another 7 points."
"Rast, quickly tell the wizard banks everywhere to reduce the ruble exchange limit."
"In ten minutes, I want to see the black market exchange rate of the Muggles now!"
"The fairy group of the Americas Division refused to join the meeting, curse it, I swear they must have sensed something."
In a busy and noisy environment, accompanied by the crackling sound of the ghost, the Sergeins fairies who were related to Elena appeared at the entrance of the office. Their panicked faces looked slightly comical.
"Bad news! Very bad news!"
Under the gaze of all the gnomes, Sergeins stumbled and ran directly into the middle independent office.
"Oh, no, no, young ones, relax. Didn't your father tell you that unnecessary chaos would only make Jin Jialong run away faster?"
In the office, a middle-aged gnome sitting in a black swivel chair turned around and calmly snapped his fingers. A lazy wooden chair moved behind Sergeins.
"The reason I transferred you from the business room is not only because you are lucky enough to receive this large order. I hope that the new blood on the front will guide us towards some blind spots that have not been thought of before."
"Mr. Douglas, within five days, the Soviet government will make a resolution to discuss whether to recognize the independence of the three united republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania."
Sergeins wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously.
"Well, that's really bad news. I remember Lulun mentioned it before, and I will start lowering the exchange rate between the ruble and the gallon of gold tomorrow, right?"
The middle-aged gnome, known as Douglas, frowned resignedly, turned around, and shouted to a fairy across the office.
"Yes, Mr. Douglas. Since the news of the preparation for the independence of Azerbaijan the day before yesterday, we have been recalculating."
A professionally dressed fairy adjusted her glasses and stood up, speaking respectfully.
"Very well, lower the value of the preparation by 5% according to the original plan."
The middle-aged gnome nodded contentedly, took a thick cigar from his pockets, rubbed his pointed fingers gently, lit the cigar with a magical match, took a deep inhale, and exhaled white smoke.
"And then, young Sergeins, let me guess what you want to say... Are you talking about the validity of the Hogwarts mortgage contract? Or is it that the depreciation of the ruble puts us at a disadvantage for the contract payment? Or are you wondering if we have enough ruble loans as coverage? You don't want us to actively interfere with the Muggle government-you know that even though the Soviet Ministry of Magic seems relaxed, it's harder than the group of knights at the British Ministry of Magic. We don't want to provoke them."
"No, Mr. Douglas, I heard..." Sergeins said, looking at the other busy fairies in the office, with a hesitant expression.
"Speak of anything, there's no treason in the entire risk capital department of Gu Lingge, because we have no competitors."
As the most outstanding financial newcomer of Gu Lingge in the last 100 years, Douglas, one of the three senior executives of the risk capital department of Gu Lingge, dares not say that he has 100% control over the members of his department, but he is definitely the best figure in the fairy bank.
Countless gnomes racked their brains to join Douglas's risk capital department, not only for the high salary, but more than anything, this kind of work that uses large amounts of money as a bet for the game is simply for the gnomes. It is the most tempting drug in the world.
