1855 United States Tycoon

"Alberto, the stock price has fallen." In the office, John who was on the phone shouted.

"Damn, they actually took a step forward." Alberto said, "but it doesn't matter, we just follow the smash, and when the smash hits the low point, they don't have to pull up."

However, this time things were not as Alberto imagined. It was indeed at a low point that might affect the entire stock market, and Gray Railway's stock price did indeed begin to rise again. So Alberto began to order another low buy. So every time it comes, it can make a little bit more or less. Of course, Morgan will also lose a little bit. Although this is insignificant at all, it’s not bad that Morgan can be disgusting. Moreover, such drastic stock price fluctuations will surely arouse other people's ideas and make those people fearful. It would be nice to be able to do this.

...

"Well, they followed up again, right?" Morgan asked.

"Yes, sir."

"So now we are starting to sell the goods frantically, and a guy directly hit the price to the bottom." Morgan said, "Also, let Mr. Gray come to me as soon as possible." Morgan said calmly.

...

"Damn it, what's going on? Why is Gray Railroad's stock price so low, the entire Gray Railroad Company is already insolvent, but other related stocks have not been affected too much?" Alberto stunned. Eye.

"It's normal." Joshua said, "Morgan must have secretly bought a large number of stocks in several related companies and took over a lot of Gray Railway's assets and debts. So, I estimate that even Gray Railway Company Bankruptcy will not cause any serious consequences. I estimate that the stock price of Gray Railway will not rise again today. Early tomorrow morning, Morgan may make Gray Railway declare bankruptcy."

"But in this way, their losses must be greater than ours." Alberto said.

"Yes, but their capital is greater. After this loss, the ratio of the funds they can use compared to the funds we can use has further expanded. If this continues, there will be at most one or two more rounds. , We will have to stop because of funding issues. This is a financial crocodile. When necessary, we can rely on capital to harden it."

"Not bad." Alberto thought for a while, nodded and said, "Morgan is really good. He taught me a lot."

"So what are you going to do next?" Joshua said.

"Of course it is to continue to make trouble for United States. This loss was originally expected, isn't it? Now that the strategic decision has been made, it should not be easily shaken. What's more, it's time to reach the point of our family. When there is no life-and-death crisis, more or less long-term interests need to be considered."

...

In the next few days, such offensive and defensive actions continued. By the time the stock market was closed this Saturday afternoon, Alberto had basically exhausted his chips. The market closed on Saturday also gave everyone a chance to rest.

It was also on this day that a good news came out, so that everyone was full of expectations for Monday's stock market. The news is that the richest person in United States, the representative of the United States dream, Mr. Scrooge McDonald, will return to Duck Castle tonight and hold a press conference in Duck Castle early tomorrow morning.

Unlike Morgan, Scrooge did not meet the corporate figures alone on the dock. The question that should be discussed, in fact, during this period of time, his brothers and children have been his spokespersons, and they have almost talked with those people. As for the Duck Castle instead of holding a meeting at the port, it is completely understandable, because everyone still remembers that Scrooge was assassinated back then.

...

Early the next morning, the invited reporters came to the Duck Castle Gate.

"Gentlemen, please hand all metal products to us for safekeeping before entering the venue." A security guard said to reporters who came to interview.

"Can't a pen be brought in either? This is what we must." a reporter shouted.

"We will give each visiting reporter a pen as a souvenir." The security guard replied.

"Then can you give us a camera as a souvenir?" a photographer shouted with a smile.

"Of course you can," the security guard replied. In that era, cameras were indeed very high-end things, but for the McDonald family, it was not a problem to give reporters a few cameras.

"I knew it, I was going to be a photojournalist." A text reporter said half jokingly and half complaining. But everyone is basically acceptable to MacDonald's approach. Because in addition to the attacks that happened that year, some newspapers in the past few days have promoted a possibility that those Jews might use assassinations to undermine the efforts of United States people to stabilize the market. Under such a background, it is understandable that the McDonald family made such a precaution.

The reporters put some metal objects of Own into specially prepared pockets, wrote Own's name on the label, and then handed them to the security guards of McDonald's house....

"Hello everyone, everyone knows the purpose of my return from Europe this time, so I won't say much." Scrooge said straightforwardly, "Before I left the United States and Europe, I also Just before the outbreak of this crisis, the bubble in the stock market was already quite serious, but my judgment at the time was that although the decline in the stock market was inevitable, such an avalanche was still abnormal. If it wasn't for someone deliberately This is not the only way to create a crisis. So when my ship was halfway and my brother told me that there was a big avalanche in the stock market, I was really surprised. But to be honest, I was at the time about the seriousness of the situation. The degree is still underestimated. So I made the decision to continue to Europe.

It was not until two days later that I received the telegram from Mr. Morgan that I realized that the situation was so serious. At this time, I was very close to Europe, and I didn’t have the fuel necessary for the direct return journey on my ship, so although at that time, Mr. Morgan explained the seriousness of the matter as I did, and proposed to me on his own initiative. We work together to repel the attacks on the United States economy by international financial speculators. And I naturally agree with Mr. Morgan’s suggestion with both hands. You may also know that although the relationship between Mr. Morgan and I is not bad, there are still many disagreements and even when we are left, there are conflicts about this. Not a lot. But on this issue, Mr. Morgan and I have a high degree of agreement. That is, the financial market in the United States is by no means a pig farm for international financial speculators, and they must not be allowed to cut our money when they are short of money. wool! Although there are many differences between me and Mr. Morgan, on one point, we are the same, that is: we are first a United States, and then a businessman!

So I told Mr. Morgan that my ship had no fuel to return to the voyage, and that it had to be refueled in Europe before it could return. I assured him that as long as I fill up my boat with fuel, I will return as quickly as possible. Before that, the heavy task of withstanding international financial speculators could only be undertaken by Mr. Morgan. Although I agree to let McDonald Ventures open the door to Mr. Morgan's needs, even so, resisting national financial speculators alone for a week is still not a simple matter. Here I want to first pay tribute to Mr. Morgan. I know these days, it is really not easy for Mr. Morgan to stand alone against the pressure of foreign financial speculators. Under great pressure, but also paid a lot of sacrifices. I think Mr. Morgan hasn't slept well these days, but I think, tonight, Mr. Morgan can sleep peacefully. Because I Scrooge McDonald is back! "

Following Scrooge's words, thunderous applause suddenly remembered at the scene. All the reporters and representatives of financial institutions applauded with incomparable enthusiasm. The New York Times published in the afternoon reported this moment like this:

"Mr. Macdonald’s return immediately dissipated the haunting dark cloud of panic that had been permeating the capital market. It was like sunlight piercing through the thick clouds and casting brilliant light on On the earth, although the dark clouds have not completely dissipated, everyone at this time is full of confidence in the future. Everyone firmly believes that the storm has passed and the future is bright...

Mr. MacDonald solemnly promised to all the reporters and representatives of financial institutions present that he would never let those international financial speculators turn United States into their pig farms, and would never allow them to rob the people of the United States at will. Wealth accumulated through hard work. At the same time, he also called on the people of the United States to unite and jointly repel the attacks of international financial speculators.

'In this world, there will always be some emperors, kingdoms, masters, and righteous people who will never die of selfless America. In 1812, they hoped to use guns to once again plunge us into a state of enslavement, but our fathers held high. The Stars and Stripes united, defeated them, and let them roll back to the Old World with their tails in their hands. Now they are trying to plunder us through financial means. They feel that they have huge capital and can play with us at will, but I want to say that they have committed the same problems as before, and they underestimated the unity of the people of United States. As long as we are united as our fathers did back then, we will be able to beat them back and let them roll back to the old continent with their tails in their hands! Long live the great unity of the people of United States! ’"

...

"Well, there will be no big problems tomorrow. We can really sleep." Morgan said to his friend Benjamin Strong. "The capital market is largely a confidence market. Now even those The Jews drew out all the money they could draw out of their hands, and invested it here, and it was of little use. But one thing I feel very depressed. It is that these days, the people who work hard to work are us, but everyone Why are you cheering at Scrooge..."
