In another room, Lynch was also on a call.

Gafura and the Federation can communicate directly, which saved Lynch a lot of trouble, and he was on a call with Lime.

Lime is still responsible for his various financial accounts, as well as some entrusted accounts. Some people have witnessed Lynch and Lime's ability to make money in finance, and they proactively entrusted their accounts under the management company of Darkstone Fund, delegating the company to trade on their behalf.

All this is under contract. Lynch provides an expected annual return rate and then reasonably uses these people's funds to conduct some financial transactions.

Stirring the winds and clouds in the financial market is not an easy task; it requires a lot of capital. This is also the main reason why everyone is keen on banding together, as individual power is really too weak, too weak to create any significant waves.

Decent returns and stability have allowed Lynch to control a fair number of financial accounts, and he and Lime have somewhat made a name for themselves in this field.

"First, have our managers notify all clients, reminding them to record this and reminding all clients of our risk assessment level on holding Nagariel, and advising against continuing to hold it."

"Remember, don't make it too formal, don't scare those people, have the managers notify the clients in a casual, joking manner."

"Then you need to discuss your confidence in Nagariel in some informal settings, but don't clearly state your recommendations. Let people understand that we still have faltering confidence in Nagariel."

"Quickly start selling off the spot assets we hold in small lots, without letting the scale get too big. The more accounts established, the better. Don't let anyone see the clues. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lime, on the other side of the phone, was excited and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, boss, I understand what you mean..." He didn't finish his sentence, drawing it out a bit. Lynch noticed and didn't rush him. After a short pause, Lime inquired, "Do you mean... our clients will also take in these spot assets?"

"I didn't say that." Lynch directly denied, "I just said to inform all clients of the risks, but you also have to remember, we are just managing these accounts as trustees. If the clients have their own ideas, you can only suggest, not prevent."

"Also, I don't want anyone to notice in advance, do you understand what I mean?"

Lime thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I understand, boss."

"I have high hopes for your future, Lime. You've suffered too much at the bottom rung in Bupen; it's now time for you to reap fame and fortune. Think of all those who bought your shares and haven't recovered yet—what is the future? You should understand well."

"After this is done, I'll support you in setting up your own studio. Don't let me down; you are destined to live under the spotlight!"

After hanging up the phone, Lynch thought for a bit, made a few more calls, arranged some specific details of overseas accounts, and then relaxed slightly.

The outcome of this negotiation is likely to be around late April or early May. The unplanned rise in Nagariel's exchange rate also gave Lynch a faint sense of danger.

This recent spike is indeed very unusual. As some mainstream media put it, the rise in Nagariel's exchange rate is because the Federation's standing in the international scene is continuously rising. As the Federation's "little brother," Nagariel would frequently appear in the international market in the future, and cheap labor would spread around the world as the Federation's business circles expanded.

A large number of Nagariel workers benefit from this, not to mention any issues of exploitation and oppression. At the very least, Nagariel's per capita income can potentially double or even multiply quickly in the future, so the increase in Nagariel's exchange rate is within reason.

But all these are nonsense. The potential for Nagariel's exchange rate appreciation has actually been prematurely released some time ago. That's why Nagariel saw a rapid appreciation.

The current changes, in strict terms, are due to international speculative money's dissatisfaction with a stable trend. They started aggressively hyping Nagariel.

This is like the eve of the Federation's financial collapse. International speculative money started to be dissatisfied with short-term returns, began overly squeezing profits, then withdrew.

Since they are so cooperative, Lynch could not sit idly by and become the one left holding the bag, so selling early is the best choice, transferring the risk onto others.

Moreover, he also believed that the six major banks, including the United Development Company, should have noticed such an unusual change. This is just the start of the negotiation, and it's already rising, so what will happen when the negotiation results come out?

What will happen when implementing these business plans?

Someone is overdrawing potential, planning to sneak away!

Lynch didn't need to be faster than everyone, just faster than most.

After arranging these matters, he rested for a while, then focused his attention on the upcoming negotiations.

They were here to negotiate, not for Lynch to be a diligent farmer.

In each negotiation that followed, everyone would sit around the negotiation table fiercely advocating their views, struggling for numbers beyond the decimal points.

For some unspecified reason, this negotiation was much smoother than expected.

Gafura seemed to become easier to deal with on issues previously deemed difficult to compromise, and all of this was because of Amelia.

Another negotiation arrived, but this time Lynch, who usually sat on the periphery, was in the main negotiation area.

Across from him sat the person in charge of societal and cultural aspects from Gafura. They didn't even have a dedicated institution for these matters, just a branch office or something.

"Mr. Lynch, we currently don't plan to engage in too much social and cultural exchange with the Federation, so..." The individual responsible for the negotiations looked at the new agenda and shook his head; not many people came for this negotiation.

Gafura didn't plan to waste too many words on this issue with the Federation, swiftly refusing and moving on to the next agenda was the ministers' position.

However, Lynch was clearly thinking differently, "Culture is the most brilliant symbol of a civilization. If we want to embark on fuller cooperation across multiple fields in the future, understanding each other becomes very important."

The cooperation at the international level isn't just a simple transaction—you give me a dollar, I give you something. We need our respective people to understand the necessity and prospects of our cooperation."

"There's a saying in the Federation, 'Only when we understand each other will our destinies intertwine,' and our demands are not unilateral."

There weren't many people on Lynch's side either because this was an additional topic to the negotiation, not receiving much interest domestically, so Lynch, along with some basic staff, was primarily responsible for the negotiation.

In fact, Lynch was the only one who could truly handle this negotiation; others were just background.

Similar to the Federation's reaction, Gafura was no different. They thought it was just a routine, but they didn't expect to face someone adept at persuasion.

"Would you care about someone you don't know, with whom you neither have any direct or indirect association and who is entirely unfamiliar to you?"

"Please answer my question honestly, gentlemen!" Lynch posed a question, and the negotiators across the table shook their heads in unison. Who would care about a stranger unless it's a girl?

Receiving these answers, Lynch nodded with a smile, "Exactly, I wouldn't either, because I don't know what they do for work, their names, if they have families and relatives, what their personalities are like, and so on."

"Contact between nations is no different; if the people don't understand you enough, they will oppose some aspects of our cooperation, and vice versa."

"If people can find some common traits between us that evoke a shared emotion, then people will support us in strengthening cooperation in various fields..."

"This negotiation is an excellent opportunity, a great chance for Federation citizens to understand Gafura and vice versa."

"I propose that our two countries should enhance cultural exchanges, rather than just other aspects."

"The world is vast, so vast that many cannot visit all the countries in their lifetime; but the world is also small—wanting to understand a country only requires some books, some TV."

"The future global landscape will be determined by our two countries, and we shouldn't have significant divides in social culture and emotions. Please seriously consider my proposal..."

...

"I seem to have been convinced..." said the Gafura negotiator during a break; he felt Lynch wasn't wrong.

If people don't have a clear understanding of what kind of country the Federation is, then some cooperation will certainly face strong opposition from domestic factions.

Although Gafura is a monarchy, there are still some opposition factions at home, and these aren't ordinary opposition factions. Unlike those in the Federation, composed of the people.

The backbone and core of Gafura's opposition are all aristocrats, and only they dare openly challenge the decisions of the Imperial Family and ministers.

So, he decided to slightly delay the result of this negotiation and report the content discussed during the negotiation to the Emperor and ministers, so they could make a decision.

In just two days, Gafura agreed to Lynch's proposal on social and cultural exchanges; however, some cultural products' dissemination must undergo supervision and review by Gafura and can only be spread within Gafura after approval.

With a reciprocal action, Gafura will also export a large batch of cultural products to the Federation. This is an obligation and a responsibility.

And so, amidst such smooth negotiations, time unknowingly slipped into April.

In the second week of April, a newspaper from Nagariel sparked significant reactions locally in Nagariel.
