Chi Feichi was sitting in the dining room of Suzuki Jiro Yoshi's house, looking at "Sunflowers" hanging on the wall, with information about 'gold', 'harvest' and 'finance' still in his mind.
After the war, the reason why the Federal Reserve dared to announce that the U.S. dollar could be directly converted into gold was because at that time, the various shareholder families of the Federal Reserve held a large amount of gold, which could mobilize more than half of the world's gold. This became the Fed's confidence to announce that the U.S. dollar was linked to gold.
During that period, the shareholders of the Federal Reserve also negotiated a benefit distribution agreement based on the gold reserves of each company.
To put it simply, whichever company has more gold reserves at that time will have more say in it and will be able to get more benefits in the subsequent harvest.
Around that time, the Warburg family sold some of its European properties, flipped properties around, collected funds, and exchanged some gold, just to gain more say and more benefits in the Federal Reserve.
Also after the war, his maternal grandfather Renya Karasuma invited a large number of scholars to the Twilight Annex and forced those scholars to find the treasure left to him by his mother. It was later proven that the treasure was the Twilight Annex.
——A big house built with gold.
Gold, gold, gold...
At the same time, big families such as the Karasuma family and the Warburg family cared so much about gold that it was hard not to think of them together.
Looking at the golden "Sunflowers" on the wall, he will think of the equally golden Dusk Villa.
In addition to the old financial families such as Warburg and Rothschild, there were actually some emerging families, and small and medium-sized families also participated, such as the Rockefellers.
What about the Karasuma family? Have the Karasuma family ever thought about getting a share of the pie?
That year, Karasuma Renya was eager to find the treasure left by her mother. Was it really just because she didn't have much time and wanted to find the treasure before she died? Or did she also want to take this opportunity to fight for future generations on the other side of the ocean?
What benefits?
His maternal grandfather was still in England at that time and had contact with the Warburg family. Therefore, the Karasuma family had the opportunity to get the news. The Karasuma Group in this world was once extremely glorious. With the financial strength and influence of the Karasuma family back then,
, you should be able to get a ticket to share the cake. As long as the Karasuma family chooses to enter and show enough gold reserves, they can get a piece of the cake.
It's just that Renye Karasuma didn't seem to find the treasure in the Dusk Annex back then, and he wasn't sure whether the Karasuma family participated in the carnival and successfully gained some profits.
Also, more than forty years ago, some political and economic celebrities gathered at the Dusk Annex to participate in the auction. Was it just the art collected by Renya Karasuma that they wanted to share? Is there anything else those people were looking for?
The treasure of the Karasuma family, some kind of rights that can lead to prosperity and wealth for future generations?
He originally wanted to ask his grandfather about these things in detail last night, but in the second half of the conversation last night, his grandfather focused on 'how to harvest leeks and how to be a successful capitalist'.
He spent part of the time analyzing financial harvesting operations with him. After saying this, it was already past midnight, and his grandfather also said he was tired, so he didn't ask any more questions.
However, if the Karasuma family really participated in the division of relevant interests back then, his grandfather would probably tell him when he had time in the future...
"Mr. Chi..."
Charlie walked into the restaurant and greeted Chi Feichi. When Chi Feichi turned to look at him, he explained, "Consultant Suzuki was studying the rice cakes you brought in the kitchen and accidentally knocked over the soy sauce bottle in the kitchen.
His clothes are dirty and he wants to go back to his room to change his clothes. Let us come over and have afternoon tea with you first!"
Koji Azuma, Natsumi Miyadai, Keiko Anderson, Kumiko Kishi, and Taizo Sekirei followed Charlie through the door. Except for Kogoro Mori, the other six people from the "Seven Samurai" were all here.
"Mr. Chi, good afternoon..."
"Mr. Chi, we meet again."
Everyone greeted Chi Feichi, pulled out their chairs, and sat on the other side of the long dining table.
"good afternoon."
Chi Feichi sat on the left side of the main seat at the dining table and turned his head to respond to the greetings of a group of people.
In order to facilitate the viewing of "Sunflower" hanging on the wall, Chi Feichi pulled the chair he was sitting on toward the wall. After greeting a group of people, he did not rush to straighten the chair and moved his eyes to the wall again.
"Sunflower".
"We're not late, are we?" Suzuki Sonoko and Koshimizu Nanatsuki led the young detective team into the restaurant. After entering, they looked around and asked, "Huh? Uncle Jiroyoshi hasn't arrived yet?"
Keiko Anderson also became familiar with Suzuki Sonoko and explained with a smile, "The consultant soiled his clothes in the kitchen..."
Charlie immediately paid attention to Conan. After Keiko Anderson finished explaining, he asked aloud, "Why are the children here too?"
"When Sister Nanatsuki and I came back from shopping, we happened to see these five brats at the door. They said they had something important to do with Uncle Jiroji, so I brought them in," Suzuki Sonoko walked to Chi Fei
On the left side of the dining table where Chi was sitting, he pulled out the chair next to Chi Fei Chi. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Koshizu Nanatsuki onto the chair. He pulled out the chair next to Koshizu Nanatsuki and sat down, turning around to say hello.
The five children said, "Kids, please sit wherever you like. Uncle Jiroji should be here soon!"
Two maids pushed the dining cart through the door and brought portions of black tea and snacks to the table.
The five members of the Young Detective Team sat down on the other side of Suzuki's garden one after another, and the three children were still chattering.
"I didn't expect Brother Chi and Sister Nanatsuki to be here..."
"Hey, look, there are a lot of "Sunflowers" on the wall!"
"that is true……"
"Brother Feichi and Sister Nanatsuki came here today to look at "Sunflowers"," Suzuki Sonoko also turned to look at the "Sunflowers" on the wall, "because Uncle Jiroji promised to Brother Feichi that after gathering seven paintings of "Sunflowers"
Brother Fei Chi was invited to come and appreciate it, so Uncle Jiroji asked people to put the paintings here. However, these seven paintings will only be displayed here until five o'clock in the afternoon. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Jiroji will ask people to put these seven paintings.
Take down the painting and send it to the Ray Kroc Art Museum where the painting exhibition is held..."
"Putting these paintings here is relatively risky," Charlie added, "but we have deployed manpower outside the house, and everyone who enters will be inspected. It should not be easy for Kaito Kidd to sneak in."
Conan was sitting on a chair, with his upper body mostly blocked by the dining table. Hearing Charlie talk about Kidd, he asked aloud, "Is there anything happening with Kidd today?"
"No!" Suzuki Jirokichi walked into the restaurant, raised his right hand, raised two fingers to a group of people, and said with an energetic smile, "We have taken the painting back from that thief twice, and we probably also let that thief
The thief must be feeling distressed because there was no movement from him yesterday and today!"
Conan smiled inwardly and cast his gaze in the direction of Chi Feichi.
The thief won't be troubled so easily, right? If Kidd isn't watching secretly, he might be investigating something...
After Suzuki Jirokichi entered the door, Chi Feichi stood up and straightened the chair he was sitting on.
Suzuki Jirokichi walked to the main seat of the dining table, stretched out his hand to pull out the chair, turned his head and looked at the "Sunflowers" on the wall behind him, and asked with a smile, "Fei Chi, it feels good to look at the seven "Sunflowers" together.
