"No, what I'm going to talk about is not an example of financial crime. Even if I describe it verbally now, many people will still not be able to figure it out. It may even allow smart people with a heart to deduce other more hidden and dangerous crimes."
He replied loudly, which attracted everyone's approval, because it shows that Jenkins thinks that everyone here is smart. 0
"Do you guys remember the public lecture I gave last year about the 'Fabry Hoax'?"
He asked again, the "Fabry Scam" that he wrote, directed and acted to expose last year can be regarded as the least thing Jenkins did after he came to this world.
Immediately there was a voice from the audience, and everyone was nodding in agreement. Speaking of this incident, few people will forget. That speech has been compiled into a speech, which has become a public publication after paying Jenkins a certain amount of gold pounds. It is said that the number of printed editions is already higher than that of Stranger Stories 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 higher.
"The Fabry scam, although compared with the financial game of manipulating numbers, is still somewhat simple, but this kind of 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. Now that she thinks about it, the fact that Jenkins is Miss Fabrice still amazes her. Knowing that Jenkins is a believer in all lies, Miss Fabbri's true identity will naturally be understood.
Now that she knew the truth, the Fabry scam was nothing but "Miss Fabry is Jenkins" was the most exciting scam.
To this day, Hathaway still has some doubts that the guy who can represent the image of "the smartest woman of this era" in her impression is actually the strange young man beside her who looks honest and likes cats.
Although Miss Fabbri is an out-and-out bad person, more people were accidentally harmed because of that deception, and people were amazed by her superb resourcefulness. Therefore, the existence of Miss Fabbri has become a symbol representing 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 Mademoiselle Fabry."
Hathaway said in her heart, her smile finally couldn't be restrained.
"Please do not underestimate such a deception, from the west coast of the mainland to the east coast, from the Westminster River in Nolan to the Leaning Tower of Faris in Eldron, the City of a Thousand Trees, from the mansions of all of you here, to the southern forests Only the most universal scams can best represent the truth of the simplest and most basic financial scams.
We have to see the essence through the truth, and before analyzing the essence, it is the most important and useful 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 middle of the first row, Queen Isabella's expression remained unchanged, King Salci II rubbed his chin and smiled, and the young Arecio looked at Jenkins blankly. He really didn't understand much, but he felt Jenkins' presentation was indeed powerful.
This time no one came to ask Jenkins what he was going to say, so he pulled out the tulip he kept in his breast pocket and held it up for all to see:
"Investing in tulips, how many people here have earned gold pounds? Oh, congratulations, the scammers succeeded. Today's theme is tulips."
As if a cannonball had exploded in the lecture hall, the hustle and bustle of discussion exploded almost immediately. People kept a polite low voice to discuss with those around them, and the collective voices showed the turmoil caused by this topic.
The high price of tulips has long been noticed by interested people, and although those who are qualified to spend large sums of money are not necessarily in the lecture hall, many people who come to listen to the speeches are indeed participating in the tulip business.
Jenkins put the bouquet of flowers on the table. Chocolate was not very friendly to the "new neighbor". It stuck its belly on the table and sniffed the vase almost in a "creeping" state. After the cat's whiskers trembled a few times, it pushed the flower with its small paw, but Jenkins slapped the paw immediately. So he completely lost interest and continued to lie back to his original position.
"I think many people have noticed that the price of tulips in this city has increased significantly since about a month ago. If you compare the prices in the past, you will understand how outrageous this increase is."
He waved his hand to the audience, and the servants immediately brought up the huge canvas that had already been painted, then climbed up the ladder, and pasted it on the upper left corner of the blackboard.
That is the line chart drawn by Jenkins. It shows the average price trend of tulips in the same season in the past few years, that is, the trend of tulip prices in summer, and the trend of tulip prices from last summer to this summer.
He not only completed the drawing of the graph line, but also filled in the data source and simple arithmetic mean, variance and other data in the side margin of the line graph. This is the advantage of preparing in advance. Even though Jen Jin did not study economics before, he is very familiar with drawing tables and analyzing data.
He picked up the retractable teaching rod placed on the table, and pulled away the chocolate that suddenly pressed a small paw on the teaching rod for some unknown reason. With a light flick, the teaching rod was long, and then came to the bottom of the blackboard, pointing to the data on it.
The people sitting at the back of the lecture hall have already stood up and set up their binoculars. It was not a telescope for military combat, but a thin brass-colored metal rod connected to the binoculars, more like a telescope of delicate crafts. This kind of telescope is commonly used in theaters and racetracks, but it is not common to appear in the audience of speeches.
"These data can obviously prove that the price trend of tulips this year is different from that of the past ten years. Whether it is from the above statistics in daily units or the histogram with months as the abscissa, this conclusion is very clear."
He spoke in detail, and then stated the reliability of his data sources. Finally, he waved to the fat businessman who was standing nervously in the audience. The businessman nodded quickly, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and walked down the stage holding his hat with both hands.
"This is the owner of Peter Pan's flower shop two streets away from the city hall. Let him tell you about his feelings about the price changes of tulips this year. I think this can help understand this strange price curve."
The owner of the flower shop was found by the Church of Nature, and the content of the speech at this moment was also reviewed by Jenkins. The deception was carried out by himself, and how to expose it was completely in Jenkins' control.
Compared to the sudden and hasty decision to reveal the truth of the deception last time for Mr. Barnard's family, this time he is well prepared, and even if someone in the audience wants to refute him, he can calmly deal with it. Because, from the beginning to the end of this matter, there are traces of him in every corner, and it is impossible for him to make mistakes.
While the nervous flower shop owner was talking about the changes in the purchase price and delivery price of tulips in his store in the past two months, there seemed to be a rumbling sound in the distance.
At first I thought it was going to rain, but it was the sound of thunder coming from high in the sky. But carefully discerned, it seemed to be a series of explosions. But it was very far from the city hall, and the place where the explosion occurred was definitely not the central city of Nolan.
Jenkins thought of the news from the church that a mechanized corpse had appeared in the city before the lecture began.
"Isn't it resolved yet?"
He was a little worried, but the curse of corpse mechanization was not a big problem, nor was it a problem that only he could solve. At present, the matter of the city hall is the most important thing. The throne is related to the emblem of the savior, and the tulip incident to divinity. Neither of these two things can be delayed.
By the time the florist's three-minute explanation was over, most of the others understood what Jenkins wanted to express. Then Jenkins invited Fini's friends to explain what he had seen and heard about selling flowers on the street.
Their stories are different from those of flower shop owners, who mainly talk about price changes, while they talk about people's obsession with tulips and various accidents caused by tulips.
Flower girls roam the streets, and the diminutive girls are often overlooked when people don't need to buy flowers. As a result, they occasionally hear things they shouldn't.
Based on what they heard, that counted as one-tenth of the stories that came out of their mouths, plus nine-tenths, Jenkins made up about "borrowing money to buy tulips, mortgage the money you earned, The story of borrowing more money to buy tulips for profit” or the story of “the fish seller spent 30 years of his family’s savings to buy a tulip bulb of a rare color” together constitute a very frightening “tulip mania”.
"Tulip mania" was the combination word Jenkins uttered, chalking it next to "finance." Many people have also realized that this phenomenon is abnormal. Although there was no concept of finance in the past, price gouging is something that happens in every era, which is not difficult to understand.
"No, this is not simply price gouging."
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 worst consequence of price gouging?"
"Citizens can't buy affordable daily necessities, so they can only buy them at high prices, which crowds out other living expenses and causes the family's living standards to decline. If prices continue to remain at a high level, it may cause citizen riots."
Although the Duke is young, he still has these basic common sense.
"So it's not price gouging. Tulips are priced up, so don't buy them. Tulips are not a necessity."
He looked at the people in the audience:
"The consequences of the tulip maniac can directly destroy all the wealth that Nolan has accumulated since the age of steam."
