After the initial greetings were over, Richard began talking to the guests at the party about his Yuanrong Capital.

"Thank you all for being invited to this event. I understand that many of you might still have a question by now: What is Yuanrong Capital? What is Yuanrong Gold Certificate..."

"Now, I’m going to tell everyone what these are and how they can make us rich!"

In Richard’s narration, Yuanrong Capital’s reach has already extended to the world’s famous mining districts. Clients purchase a certain amount of Yuanrong Gold Certificates from Yuantong Capital, then Yuanrong Capital sends out an exploration team for initial scouting. If a gold mine is discovered, they begin digging immediately.

Investors put in funds, Yuanrong Capital provides manpower, and the combination results in profit.

Of course, not every venture results in a good outcome, and this is something people need to be aware of. It’s possible the target area for exploration doesn’t yield any gold mines, which could lead to a decline in the return rate of a batch of Gold Certificates after a year.

However, Richard reassures everyone that even if the exploration fails to find a gold mine, there’s no need to worry—this team will choose another target and continue their exploration until they find gold.

This means these Gold Certificates can eventually be profitable; it’s just a matter of time, and these certificates can be transferred, with someone willing to buy them back at a lower rate.

In the end, Richard joked that so far, none of their exploration targets have failed.

A large amount of seemingly real photos, briefings, and news filled every corner of the room. Under Richard’s continuous promotion, many people were tempted, especially when they heard about Richard’s Yuanrong Capital and its association with United Development Company, having obtained exploration and mining licenses for resources deep within Nagariel’s territory. This brought people’s emotions to a peak.

"I heard these licenses are not usually granted. How did you get these authorizations?" One person raised a small question, as the success of United Development Company in Nagariel signifies the birth of a model.

Internally in the Gafura Empire, there are discussions about whether they can develop Amelia or other areas through a similar model to United Development Company, since besides the Federation, Gafura is invincible.

With deepened cooperation across multiple fields and domains now, it’s unlikely for any opposition to arise, providing such opportunities for Gafura.

It’s because the Federation’s approach to Nagariel was validated that people are paying attention. Within United Development Company, there are multiple mining groups, and that area has almost become their reserve land. How could they let someone else get involved?

Faced with such questions, Richard did not panic at all. He led everyone to a promotional display board, showing photos of him shaking hands with United Development Company’s top officials and photos from a signing ceremony.

Everyone knows photos from this era cannot be forged, so these photos must be real!

"I have a close cooperative relationship with the higher-ups of United Development Company. We have reached multiple cooperation plans in various domains, and it’s no exaggeration to say that Yuanrong Capital’s technology in mineral resource exploration leads the world!"

Radiating confidence and vitality, anyone facing Richard’s demeanor found it hard to hold onto their doubts; they began to be persuaded and joined the project.

In just one night, Richard secured over seventy thousand Fla of investment funds, with tens of thousands more having shown interest.

After the party, Richard spent a passionate night with a popular actress from Gafura.

Right now is his moment of triumph, as he rolled out the scene entirely within a month. It must be said, it’s easy to earn money from Gafura people; they’re rich and naive, forgetting about risks as soon as they see benefits.

In a short time, Richard obtained over six hundred thousand of investment, with one hundred fifty thousand coming from a single Count.

Given the current situation, he’s confident to grow this business stronger and bigger, even having the deepest hidden ambition in his heart—he wants to go public!

The thought of breaking free from Lynch’s control has been brewing for some time. Since he was asked by Lynch to work independently in the capital of York State on second-hand commodity auctions, he already had this idea.

He’s fully grasped Lynch’s methods. Frankly, behind the scenes, Lynch is actually squeezing salespeople excessively to extract profit.

If a salesperson can’t provide quality clients, they can’t make money and might be eliminated, while having to spend money from Lynch to buy seats to increase the number of clients participating in auctions.

A single seat may not cost much, five dollars, seeming cheap. Five hundred dollars can get a hundred seats, but this five hundred dollars is only for one auction’s seats.

The more seats there are, the more transaction value is generated, increasing the chance of receiving a ten thousand dollar bonus. This forces salespeople to spend more money buying seats and seek better clients.

Lynch will never lose money, neither will the clients participating in the auction; they at least buy their desired goods at a price they deem appropriate. The real losers are only the salespeople.

Lynch’s gameplay is actually similar to financial companies in Bupen, often recruiting business managers and stockbrokers, mainly for client acquisition.

When their financial products can’t be cleared, they request the business manager or stockbroker to buy back the products themselves.

Lynch’s approach is more concealed. Upon realizing this, Richard developed the idea to go solo; he doesn’t want to work for others and make money for others all his life.

Every month he indeed pockets a lot of money, yet even more flows into Lynch’s pockets. A state, a dozen cities and areas, unending money flows into Lynch’s pocket, whereas Lynch doesn’t need to do anything.

He doesn’t have to do anything to obtain this money; he can use the time for socializing, indulging in pleasures. This is the lifestyle Richard pursues.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

He must find a way to push Yuanrong Capital to go public in Gafura. With enough money, he can completely break free from Lynch’s control and stand on equal footing with Lynch.

In Gafura, it’s not easy for capital to go public, as it involves the governance structure of this country.

Gafura’s capitalists more or less have ties with the Noble Group; they are either agents of the Noble Group in the financial sector or extensions of a noble’s industry, establishing an unwritten rule.

No enterprises can easily go public in Gafura’s financial market without noble support. Regardless of whom you approach to help, going public requires a noble of the Empire to stand behind the enterprise.

This phenomenon also catalyzed the value of nobles in the capital market; they can get various enterprise shares without doing anything. As long as they have the status of an Empire noble, they can never be short on money within the country and anywhere the country’s influence extends.

Richard’s relationship with this Count aligns with his long-term goal—he wants Yuanrong Capital to go public, so he needs a noble to support him; a Count fits perfectly!

While Richard was stirring up waves in Gafura, Lynch also noticed Richard’s rapid development which has surpassed the theory he had given Richard. This is quite pleasing, and he eagerly looks forward to Richard’s performance.

Late in the third month, negotiations concluded, and Lynch also took time to reach cooperation agreements with the Emperor of the Empire and ministers.

Lynch’s Darkstone Security Company will have legitimate military operational authority to assist Amelia’s local government in combating insurgent forces and can help the local government maintain regional security when necessary.

Emperor Gafura was generous enough to offer Lynch a satisfactory price, besides regular fees, there’s an additional fee.

When Darkstone Security captures or eliminates notable insurgent members, Gafura will provide additional "rewards" as bonuses, with amounts ranging from five thousand to a million, constituting a huge income.

Apart from these changes, most people’s attention is still concentrated on Nagariel, as the Nagariel National Congress Party has proposed multifaceted peace talks which have officially entered the negotiation phase, prompting close attention from many, including international finance.

Currently, there’s a theory that post-peace talks might lead to Nagariel acknowledging the legitimacy of the Nagariel United Kingdom and incorporating a multi-party system on the old governance structure to form a popular opinion-led fully free country.

This rhetoric has a market since this corresponds to the Federation’s setup, where the Progressive Party and Conservative Party plus the seldom significant Socialist Party create competition mechanisms beneficial for national and societal development.

They believe there’s a high possibility of such development occurring in Nagariel, in alignment with Federation’s needs.

Once they achieve a multi-party electoral governance system on the past foundation, they might acknowledge Gaylir’s legal status, potentially reviving Gaylir, which is currently just like waste paper.

This has caused some to frantically acquire Gaylir shorts at waste paper prices.

But there’s another statement that this is difficult to achieve; compared to multi-party electoral systems, some international institutions believe Nagariel is more likely to form a United Parliament system with leaders from each region serving as legislators forming an overall parliament.

While maintaining the independence of each region relatively, they can unite as a whole when needed, making it difficult to reactivate Gaylir under such a more independent governance system.
