I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

34 – Ah. This is… short selling

short selling

As one of the ways to invest in stocks,

Unlike making money when the price of a stock goes up in general, short sellers make money when the price of a stock goes down.

The principle is as follows.

First, borrow 10 stocks from the market at a rate of 100,000 won per share with a commission of 10,000 won.

If I sell the stock, I get 1 million won in cash in my hand.

And after a while, if the price of the stock drops to 50,000 won, you buy 10 shares again with 500,000 won.

Afterwards, pay back the person who borrowed these 10 shares.

As a result, although the value of the stock has fallen, 10 shares have been paid back for 10 shares, and a transaction with no nominal defects is completed as much as the commission of 10,000 won.

And I have 490,000 won in cash left in my hand.

This is the principle of short selling, where you can profit when others lose, and I have applied it to this situation of madness and destruction that is happening now.

First of all, building documents are borrowed in the name of ‘accurate facility rental’ from merchants who have accumulated wealth based on the church’s authority and connections, and the atmosphere that has become hideous due to the successive executions of heretics.

To be honest, this process was not easy, but in addition to writing a transaction that promised to return it accurately after the work was done, there were not many cases like this in a symbolic sense of dedicating one’s things to God in an officially hosted event. In order not to look bad at the church, I would have had no choice but to give it out even if it was forced.

In addition, if you think about it, it is a situation that can be said to be a benefit from a calculation point of view as you can get a fairly bad fee by simply lending.

Then, as the building documents borrowed in this way are sold as they are on the branch exchange, cash equivalent to the building price comes into Lipton’s hands.

and..

Immediately after the sale on the exchange, Lipton immediately accuses the person who rented the building as a heretic and completely destroys the building he was ‘rented’.

As they are mobs whose water has risen more recently, the process is carried out quite thoroughly to the extent that not a single stone is left behind.

And… after a while, of course, the document of ‘what used to be a building’, which has been reduced to ashes due to a series of events, comes up in the form of toilet paper.

As it is common for land or buildings listed on the Exchange to be traded from the point of about two weeks in order to watch the trend of the market price or to find out the authenticity, there is little chance that someone else will take it on the way. There is a very high possibility that the building will not be able to withstand the collapsed building price and will be put up in a hurry.

And Lipton buys it at a bargain price and returns it to the owner.

Of course, in the case of killing the owner on the way, it wouldn’t even be necessary.

Anyway, in this case, the owner of the original building and the side of the branch exchange would suffer huge losses, and Lipton would be able to obtain half of that profit, completing the picture.

And at this moment, in front of our eyes, we could see Lipton rejoicing over the enormous gains he had obtained through doing so…

At the same time, a quiet smile began to form on our lips.

Of course, that smile came from anticipation of the scene to be seen in the future, not the scene in front of us at this moment.

“Ahahahahaha! This is really great! Excluding commodity trading, earning 30 talents at once! Never had anything like this before! ”

Lipton bursts into laughter with joy.

Seeing him like this, Cazeros quietly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then Polena, who held out a drink next to him, gave him a slightly surprised expression and said,

“You made that much money? I don’t know what it is, but congratulations.”

“Ahahahaha thank you Polena. ruler. After all, this is also thanks to Polena, so I’ll take it here as a token of gratitude!”

With those words, Lipton held out a pouch full of silver coins.

At this, Polena showed a sign of delight and readily accepted it.

“Oh my, thank you. Until this.. I will write well. As expected, it is true that helping those who do the work of the Lord brings blessings!”

“hahahaha, no, no. Come on, let’s not stay like this, let’s all have a drink. Let the escort behind him come over and enjoy it too. Seriously, Cazeros-nim is a great genius. How could you come up with such a great idea?”

Lipton expresses his joy for this job to the fullest while tipping his glass like that.

Then… Cazeros spoke to him with a serious expression on his face.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think it’s time for a toast of joy, Mr. Lipton.”

“Yeah?.. what is that..”

Cazeros’ voice sounded a bit harsh.

At this, Lipton’s face began to look suspicious and a little uneasy, and Cazeros looked at him and said in a calm voice.

“As this is advice based on my experience, I ask you to heed it carefully. Although this method can certainly borrow a huge amount of money in a short period of time, if this kind of thing is repeated, people will definitely be wary and refuse it from the moment they are asked to borrow building documents.”

“That’s… I’m sure it is.”

It’s the first time I’ve done this, so I haven’t had that much of a problem. It was clear that the act of borrowing building documents would become more and more difficult as rumors related to this spread.

In addition, if this task is repeated too many times, the branch exchange, which is in a position to suffer losses due to this task, may notice.

Cazeros pointed this out to Lipton, who was excited about his one-time success.

Then, in a calm voice, she looked at Lipton and said.

“As such, you need to hit it big here to make big bucks.”

“That… that word…”

Lipton speaks in a slightly anxious voice at Cazeros’ words.

In response, Cazeros nodded slowly, then looked at him and said.

“Yes, right now, before word spreads, you need to move people all at once and do things simultaneously. Anyway, I’ve only done one case, so it will take a while for rumors to spread. I will mobilize the maximum number of people and immediately hit the people I have been thinking about in my head.”

“Mmm… I know what you mean. As the birthday is approaching sooner or later, I think we can gather as many people as possible and proceed with the work under the pretext of this.”

Lipton thinks of taking a big bite in accordance with Cazeros’ opinion.

Although he knew very well that taking too big a risk would also come with it.

But… the benefits of this incident were too great for that, and Crucially, Lipton had already found out how sweet the taste was.

The taste of victory that is sweeter than usual when you can smile alone while letting others fall into the abyss.

Just like that, his mind began to be filled only with the thought of the enormous shoe that would surely come into his hands, neatly putting aside any concerns about the dangerous situation that might arise.

‘Yeah.. I’m going to have a big one through this work. There will certainly be some commotion for a while, but if you stay quiet for a while, it will go away on its own. After all, human beings are beings who quickly forget if it is not their job. If you spend time and build up your wealth, you will eventually reach the goal you want.”

Like that, Lipton begins to reconfirm his final goal, which is only now beginning to appear to be within reach.

Becoming the Heretic Questioner, inciting people, and accumulating wealth through it, that’s what he always wanted…

That is… spending a lot of money to get the position of the parish priest of this city, Munich.

‘Only for this day, I have maintained a connection with the Holy See all along. Now that the work is over and the money is ready, the position of parish head is only a matter of time. Finally… I’ve been able to clear up the years of being insulted as an aristocrat who has been plagued by poverty all along and achieve my goal.’

Recognizing that the dream was now coming true, Lipton gulped down his beer without hesitation.

Without even paying attention to the tears of blood shed by the many people she has shed for this goal of her own and will continue to shed in the future…
