Chapter 391: Ponzi scheme (5)
Orsini paid out a 150% dividend in the first year of the stock.
As a result, all those who had invested by scraping together every bit of their soul in Marseille ended up sitting on a pile of money.
One of them was the young noble, Fior Éclaire, who had deeply rooted himself in the city.
“Hmph, owner.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Fior, clearly pointing at the most expensive-looking sword adorned with jewels in the shop, asked.
“How much is that sword?”
“It’s a luxury item crafted by a blacksmith working at the royal court, so it’s priced quite high. It will cost you 10 gold coins.”
“10 gold coins? Hmph... to think such a fine piece costs only 10 gold coins, what a bargain.”
The blacksmith failed to manage his expression in that moment.
No matter how noble the person was, 10 gold coins were not small money, and for such an expensive sword, the blacksmith had intended to initially ask for 10 gold coins but planned to offer a discount to around 6 or 7 coins.
But to hear that the sword was cheap when it was already overpriced?
