A few minutes later, Mr. Fox's assistant sent two newspapers, one four months ago and one this week.

Financial companies like Mr. Fox are also very concerned about the financial trends of the whole country and even the international community. They deal with money every day and know what these represent.

In addition, they are also very concerned about some morphological changes of society, such as employment rate, unemployment rate and social security.

If the unemployment rate continues to rise, they will reduce interest rates and large loans to reduce risk, which will also make their business more attractive.

When the national economy improves significantly, they will increase some interest rates and encourage people to borrow more because people can afford it.

Every day, Mr. Fox's assistant reads a lot of newspapers to analyze some situations in the next country, and then decides whether to terminate some businesses ahead of time, or pretend to forget it.

This is definitely not a very simple and straightforward business. Those people are not big and it is difficult to do it for a long time. Only people like Mr. Fox can operate such a business for a long time.

This is why he spent a lot of money and hired a college student to help himself. He regarded it as a career rather than a way to make fast money.

Lynch opened the newspaper and looked through it for some time, about ten minutes or so. Mr. Fox didn't bother him and asked someone to bring him coffee and cigarettes.

There was a faint expectation in his heart that this ordinary man named Lynch would give him a surprise.

This is not an unprovoked guess, it is what he observed.

An ordinary person like Lynch can't keep calm when invited, let alone look at himself when he shows his intention to kill.

He is not an ordinary child - Lynch is really just a child at Mr. Fox's age. He is only twenty.

More than ten minutes later, Lynch drew some lines with his pen, and then put the two newspapers in front of Mr. Fox at the same time. "I drew a horizontal line under the content you need to read, so that you can see them more intuitively."

Mr. Fox and his assistant looked at it carefully. After reading it back and forth several times, they didn't have a clue. It was all the information of some real estate agents. They didn't find anything at all.

Mr. Fox wondered, "I don't know what these represent. Do they have any special meaning?"

Lynch is not upset at all. He is very patient. After all, anyone who needs money can be patient in the face of an excellent customer and the money in his pocket.

He went to Mr. Fox's side, and his men tried to stop him, but Mr. Fox stopped him, which also meant that Lynch gained Mr. Fox's trust in a short time.

If he can finish what he said before, this trust will last for a long time.

"This newspaper provides the rental information of two Street Apartments, of which the rent of this house is..." Lynch pointed to the place where he drew the horizontal line and didn't go on.

Mr. Fox subconsciously answered, "one hundred and thirty-five dollars."

Lynch nodded in affirmation, "yes, 135 yuan. Let's ignore other things first, and then see how much the house next to it is..."

Mr. Fox moved his eyes to the information with a horizontal line in another newspaper and continued to say very cooperatively, "one hundred and seventy-two dollars!"

"These two apartments are on both sides of the road, and the straight-line distance is no more than 100 meters. From these price changes, Mr. Fox, what do you find?"

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Fox began to think seriously and said, "the monthly rent has increased by 37 yuan!"

In Lynch's past mature and successful cases, he always believes that letting these participants participate in the case at a deeper level can save a lot of time and avoid some problems that people may not think of.

They will convince themselves and firmly believe that their conclusions are right, which is particularly obvious in mathematical problems.

Before clearly pointing out that the answers to some math problems are wrong, everyone firmly believes that their answers are right and others are wrong.

Mr. Fox completed the in-depth participation process through a simple "mathematical formula", which made him begin to be surrounded by a false illusion, a false sense of security created by himself.

He won't think Lynch is a liar, because these are not what Lynch told him, but his own conclusions through his smart head. He believes in his own conclusions.

"The increase in rent means that it takes more money to buy these houses for four months..." Lynch said. "No, it's actually increasing every day. You may not find it, but it does change again. Do you admit it, Mr. Fox."

Mr. Fox nodded. "So what does this have to do with our previous business?"

"Of course, Mr. Fox, these houses are right there. It will not change with the passage of time, such as more bricks or less tiles."

"What was it like when it was built? What is it like now? It hasn't changed. It's constant, but the price has changed. What does that mean?"

Before Mr. Fox could think, Lynch gave the answer, because the answer could not be thought out in Mr. Fox's head.

What he does is to guide people to the corner they need to find at the right time, rather than encourage them to spread their thinking!

"If the value of a thing does not change, but it changes in the process of 'payment', it can only be said that the value of the thing used for target pair has changed."

"In other words, in the past four months, the money in our hands..." Lynch didn't know when he took a coin out of his pocket and stuck it between the joints of his thumb and index finger.

With a slight flick, the slightly hidden but audible metal tremor attracted people's eyes. Mr. Fox, his assistant and the bodyguard next to him all fell on the flying coin.

Lynch said confidently, "it has been depreciating, and it has depreciated by about 22% to 25% in four months, Mr. Fox."

Mr. Fox's attention was withdrawn from the motionless nickel in the newspaper. He began to seriously think about Lynch's words and looked at his assistant.

The assistant was a little embarrassed. He didn't major in finance. He just studied management. If Mr. Fox didn't have a high salary here, and if Mr. Fox wasn't his father, he wouldn't be here.

He felt that Lynch's words were not quite right, but he felt that there were no obvious mistakes and omissions. In this process, Lynch also used gold for the second round of examples, and instilled the concepts of "devaluation" and "money is also a kind of goods" into the people in the room.

He didn't lie, because these are true, and his examples are no problem. It even involves that ten years ago people could buy a newspaper with five points, but now it takes 50 points.

Newspapers or newspapers, whether ink or paper, the production process and process have not changed much. It is not that newspapers have become expensive, but that money has depreciated.

Mr. Fox, who gradually understood, suddenly felt some horror. He changed his sitting position and said, "but our interest rate is very high, and some are still compound interest!"

He wanted to give himself some sense of security in this way, but these fragile feelings of security were destroyed in Lynch's laughter a few seconds later.

"I know, Mr. Fox, the problem is that our devalued currency is not what you can take out and put in front of people, but all your assets!"

"All your assets are depreciating at the rate of 5% every month, and this is also a kind of 'compound interest'. If you can't send all your money to the federal tax bureau to complete the final formalities as soon as possible..."

Lynch returned to the chair opposite the table and sat down. He shrugged and spread his hands. "Your proud wealth may not be a fart in a few years!"

"Do you still care about that insignificant ten percent?"
