Joseph had just acquired a small bank on the verge of bankruptcy two days ago and then renamed it to the Bank of France Reserve. The entire renaming and registration process was fast, after all, he had connections in the court.
The bank's storefront and personnel were already in place, so it had started normal operations from yesterday.
The next day, the Paris Stock Exchange, at Brent's request and after receiving a handsome fee, dedicated five additional dealers specifically for the business of Paris Angel Company.
The speed of stock transactions immediately picked up, and by 4 p.m., close to closing time, a mysterious buyer suddenly appeared and snapped up the remaining 430,000 shares of Paris Angel Company.
When the transaction information "Buy, Paris Angel Company, 2 livres, 430,150 shares, for a total of 860,300 livres." appeared, the entire trading floor went silent for a moment.
