From a friend's words that were half complaint, half boast, Mr. Pato detected some hints. It must be said that for any successful person, especially someone as successful as Mr. Pato, everything they have now was not achieved by luck.

He looked at Lynch with piercing eyes, already certain that he hadn't guessed wrong, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"You have a sharp sense of smell, Mr. Pato!" Lynch neither admitted nor denied it, but his attitude said it all.

At this moment, Mr. Pato tempered his pride and arrogance and nodded slightly to express his return compliment to Lynch.

Of course, he also admitted to this point without humility.

The people of the Federation are like this, it's one of the important cultures of the Federation, emphasizing confidence.

Such things can be kept from ordinary people, but not from a top consortium leader like Mr. Pato. Their connections can easily obtain relatively real insider information through some participants.

The reason he still needs his assistant to analyze for him now is simply that he can't return to the Federation to utilize his network, and during the board meetings in the upcoming week, there's a possibility of touching on related content.

If he doesn't know what insider trading exists here, he could be very passive.

This also made him wonder if the purpose of the bank friend's revelation of this message was intentional or accidental.

However, he felt that the hint was more likely intentional, and he prepared a heartfelt thank-you letter for this friend who "accidentally" let slip, presumably the other party would also be satisfied.

Mr. Pato was sitting together with Lynch at this moment because of his doubts, "Why you?"

"I admit you're excellent, Mr. Lynch, but why you? I'm very confused, you know?" Mr. Pato's expression was full of curiosity just like the question he asked.

In his view, Lynch is not considered a true social elite despite the media's hype about him. To grow to the heights of himself, Mr. Wardrick, and other consortium leaders, he still needs many years of accumulation.

Sometimes this society is just so unfair, people born at the bottom cannot get recognition and attention from the upper society no matter how well they perform, they would only think... well, your luck is good.

They're not even willing to acknowledge it, let alone give this young man from the lower society a chance. They would only reserve opportunities for themselves or for those from the upper-class society.

But Lynch has indeed joined in, and that's the most curious thing for Mr. Pato. How exactly did he join? Even Mr. Pato himself is an outsider, why is Lynch an insider?

Lynch touched his cheek, "Maybe I'm just a bit more handsome?" He understood what Mr. Pato meant, but he didn't quite want to tell him the true origin of this matter—it was him.

Back then it was him who discussed financial war with Mr. Truman, and he was the one who first advocated launching an economic war with the world in Bupen, bringing him a lot of positive influence, as his remarks were confirmed in diplomacy, lending authority to his theories.

Thus, Mr. President, Mr. Truman, and more high-level Federation officials began to value some of his remarks, using his theories as the basis and core to push the whole event forward, he's also involved.

He doesn't want more people to know about his role in these matters because he's too young.

Youth is his greatest asset, allowing him time to develop his own forces and outlast all his opponents with whom he's at odds, but youth is also his greatest shortcoming.

Though the Federation never admits it's a country that values seniority, many young officials exist among Federation Government's high ranks, but Lynch is too young.

Mr. Truman continually draws him in, hoping he can enter politics, preferably to be Mr. Truman's deputy not only because of the need for Lynch's intelligence and his unconventional thinking but also as a preventive means.

By keeping him close, when he has any scary plans, he could intervene in time to stop him, and he has started to be somewhat "valued" by people.

Most outsiders are unaware that the core cause of what they're doing comes from Lynch's lobbying, which leads to Mr. Pato's confusion about why Lynch and not himself?

Lynch's seemingly joking response let Mr. Pato know that Lynch didn't want to delve deeper into this matter. Pursuing it won't yield any results and might even trigger a conflict with Lynch.

Before understanding who Lynch went through or how he joined, Mr. Pato didn't want any conflict with Lynch. On the contrary, he found Lynch very interesting and worthy of investment.

"Destroying Nagariel's currency system is a very interesting and valuable approach. I heard some people there are now habitually using Federation Currency?"

Skipping the previous question Lynch didn't want to answer, the conversation continued.

Lynch resumed handling the food in front of him, nodding while doing so, "Compared to the daily possible unexpected fluctuations of Galil, holding Federation Sol is the most stable approach, and Sol is appreciating."

He used a fork to stab a piece of beef, nodding in satisfaction, "Kuerlik beef, they should not be having a good time this year either."

Suddenly switching the topic wasn't that Lynch didn't want to elaborate further, it was just spur of the moment.

Kuerlik used beef is one of the world's top-used beef varieties, partly because of the excellent beef breed itself, and associated with the local environment.

A country focusing almost exclusively on agricultural and pastoral farming with premium beef production occupying the world's luxury beef market.

But as Federation's economy has encountered troubles, their beef now faces sluggish sales.

Various countries are focused on development and rebuilding issues, with order quantities sharply declined to the extent that such beef can be eaten in ordinary restaurants, which was almost impossible in the past.

Without a four or five thousand credit ferry ticket, don't even think of eating Kuerlik beef.

Mr. Pato wasn't anxious or rushed; he also nodded in agreement, "Beef prices have dropped quite a bit this year. I heard they cultivated a new beef breed, genetically superior, but less in quantity, and not allowed for live export, only sold to individuals and organizations from their important client list."

"Gimmick!" Lynch took a sip from the wine glass, the fragrant and elegant alcoholic liquid washed away the lingering meat juice and grease in his mouth, he put down the glass, "As long as you have money, you're their important client."

The two shared a knowing smile, and now it doesn't matter who, as long as one can place an order, then whatever one says goes.

The two naturally returned to the previous topic, Lynch fiddling with the food on his plate, appetizingly, "Galil doesn't hold any advantage in the international Foreign Exchange market nor does it have weight; holding large amounts of Galil long-term would cause us many extra losses, you know what I mean?"

Mr. Pato nodded and said, "Yes, I know, we currently roughly have over eight hundred thousand Nagariel employees, daily we need to pay these people around five billion Galil, currency exchange is also a hassle."

This number sounds a bit frightening, but it's what's happening without anyone noticing.

Even Lynch has a large group of local Nagariel aborigines under him, let alone the entire United Development Company, which also made Mr. Pato respond quickly.

First, he frowned, slightly lowering his head to ponder, it took about a minute or two before he gradually relaxed his brows, "I think I somewhat understand, Galil's circulation is limited…"

Lynch nodded in agreement with his view, although Nagariel's population is large, the currency issued isn't much, causing this phenomenon is that many lower classes are still living in a barter society system.

They lack channels to obtain currency, their lives don't need a currency system to support, so for this bizarre country, currency actually flows only as value symbols among middle and upper social layers, which also indicates that Galil's issuance won't be particularly large.

Once the United Development Company deepens its development in this country, it certainly faces a problem, that is currency shortage.

During the time before Nagariel starts the printing press to crazily print currency, Galil's exchange rate will rise due to currency shortage, we all know currency is essentially a commodity, it's a standard used to demonstrate value.

Currency shortage means the exchange rate will rise, during this process if Nagariel officials suddenly increase printing, Federation people will suffer a lot.

Coupling exchange rate's long-term violent fluctuations causing internal and external trade issues, all this doesn't match Federation's interests, so replacing it altogether.

But such things are unlikely to happen overtly—you can't just tell those in power in Nagariel, hey, starting today we're abolishing Galil's legal standing, you must use Federation Sol as the only legal circulation currency, that's impossible.

Though Galil is seen as waste paper by many, even that sort of issuance right isn't one to be casually relinquished, rather than debating endlessly on these issues, incurring losses, better to resolve it once and for all.

Nothing beats completely destroying Galil's currency system, without even transitioning, directly using Federation Sol is simpler and more trouble-free!

As for the interests and rights of the Nagariel people?

Did you see the many people changing currency outside the banks?

The opportunity has been given to them, if they can't grasp it, that's their own problem!
