Petit looked at the intelligence officer from London Lloyds in front of him: "So, it's the French who are buying up sugar?"
In the past three days, about thirty thousand piculs of sugarcane were bought by mysterious buyers every day. So Petit hired Lloyds to investigate the origins of the other party.
The intelligence officer nodded: "Although the people conducting the trades are different, the funds all come from the Bank of France."
Petit, on the contrary, smiled.
"The French finally lost their patience. Good, now it's getting interesting."
He dismissed the people from Lloyds, and immediately instructed his assistant to increase the daily amount of cane sugar released into the market to forty thousand piculs.
He knew very well that, with France's financial power, there was no way they could buy up nearly one million piculs of sugar in his hands.
