The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 160 (2)

Every day was a series of miracles.

Just looking at the soaring beer prices, there were people talking about it.

"Seriously, 700 times... just buying a single can of beer is hoarding. Who would have thought that the price of beer would go up 700 times?"

At a pub they frequented.

When someone said that, Bell and Bob, who were drinking, couldn't help but think about it.

What they sold was at 120 times the price.

But now, the insane price has reached 700 times and is still showing signs of going up.

"This doesn't seem crazy."

Bob said, and Bell started talking about something he had heard somewhere.

"It seems that there are nobles who buy at that 700 times price. Anyway, won't the price of beer keep going up as long as the war continues?"

"Does that make sense?"

"It doesn't. Honestly, dwarves can't wage war without beer, but how can people like us accept that?"

"Ah... if I had known this, I wouldn't have sold it to Sam, I should have just held on."

"Yeah, that's right. That's the right thing to do."

Then the two secretly overheard a conversation between two customers talking about beer next to them.

"Hey, did you hear that the price of beer has gone up again?"

"Now rum has become a completely common drink. Who would have thought that ordinary beer would become a high-class drink that even nobles can't drink?"

"Even nobles can't drink it unless they're royalty or dukes?"

"That's only for a penny or two."

"Honestly, even the nobles wouldn't have known that beer would become like this, right?"

"By the way, is it the Rothsmedici family or something that has monopolized the beer?"

"Oh, I heard that story too."

"They say that the reason the price of beer keeps going up is because that family is buying it all up. I need to check if it's true, but anyway, the price of beer will only go up. It doesn't seem strange to go down."

"Even though it's a crazy price..."

"Rich noblewomen are said to even bathe in beer."

"Wow, bathing in it? How much money do you need to do that?"

"People like us can't even dream of it."

"Ah... if I had known this, I should have definitely bought a can of beer, damn it."

Bob, who had been listening to their conversation, put down the drink he was holding and looked at Bell nearby.

"Hey."

It seemed like a determined feeling.

Bell expressed his doubts.

"Why are you suddenly like that?"

"We have beer."

"Yeah."

"I think it's going to go up more."

"What? What did you just say?"

"I think it's going to go up more."

When he said it would go up even more from a 700-fold increase.

Bell thought Bob was crazy.

"What will you do if it falls?"

But Bob didn't say it without thinking.

"That's not important. The price of beer has never fallen in the first place."

"It happened once."

"No, did it really fall? It just adjusted for a moment. And do we have anyone around us who has beer? It's all monopolized by the Rothsmedici family, and until that family releases the beer they have, the price of beer will never fall."

"Will it go up more from here?"

"It was already a crazy price, but it went up more, didn't it? Trust me. It will go up more than it is now."

"Then what do we do? We're already here."

"What do we do? What do you mean what do we do? We have to go back to that pub in Montefeltro territory. The hoarders must be all fighting there."

At Bob's determination, Bell pondered for a moment.

Whether Bob's choice was right.

Or if he was thinking wrong.

"Yeah, it went up more than 5 times the crazy price. Honestly, it's not strange for it to go up more from here."

Bell finished thinking and began nodding.

"Right. I also think the price of beer will go up more than it is now. Think about it, there's no beer around, right? And the dwarves can't give up that land. Then it's definitely a long-term battle. Can they continue fighting without beer?"

"That's why beer will definitely become valuable. Even if they don't like it, they have no choice but to buy beer at that price. It's the dwarves."

"Right, that's true. In a way, the Rothsmedici family might have monopolized beer knowing that."

"It was said to be the largest gold mining area on the continent. The Gold Vein War will never end easily. The price of beer will definitely go up. And the dwarves will definitely buy it at that crazy price. They will make up for their losses by digging out gold mines anyway. It's the largest gold mining area on the continent."

"Right. If we were wrong, the price of beer would have plummeted already."

"Let's go! To Montefeltro territory."
