Chapter 42, The Big Deal

As expected, the newly minted Suez Canal Company stocks were not easy to sell. With everyone's hands full of stocks they were stuck with, and eager to clear their inventory, who would want to dive into another pit?

Even if there were those with keen foresight who recognized the Suez Canal's potential future, it didn't mean they had money in their pockets.

The Suez Canal stocks were of little interest to anyone, yet the stocks issued daily were sold out. The astute Eugen quickly realized someone was sweeping them up.

However, he decisively chose to keep silent and quietly purchased a batch with his savings, preparing to make a fortune in silence.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated. Franz wasn't manipulating the market this time; he was investing. The canal stocks were only being bought up, not sold, so there was no inflating of stock prices.
