1928: The rise of giant merchants

Jesse Livermore never imagined that the headquarters of Hongxing United Group, which suddenly emerged in New York State, would be located in an abandoned and dilapidated building in Chinatown. What's more, he didn't expect that when he followed the employees and pushed in the door, he saw a scene that stunned him.

A few days ago, the young lady Rose DeWittbuckett, who had spent 1.26 million US dollars on stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, lay like a kitten at the feet of the young Chinese, wearing a Wearing a thin silk maternity dress, with a spring look on her face, she looked at him in a flattering way.

Livermore had seen this scene many times, so he immediately judged the relationship between the two. At the same time, he felt comfortable that they kissed me unabashedly in front of him.

He was in the right place.

This young man was obviously waiting for him.

And being unsuspecting shows full sincerity.

As an excellent trader, although Livermore had already made a fortune from the 1907 San Francisco earthquake, he had not lost his instinct as a hunter.

These days, the Tianhongxing United Group is constantly releasing sensitive signals to the outside world, which shows that its real helmsman has the same inner thoughts as him. Maybe a contact would be good for both of them.

"It seems I came at the wrong time. Sorry, I seem to have disturbed Mr. Ye and Mrs. Dewitbucket's enjoyment." Livermore said this, but he walked into the office and closed the door.

Ye Luo was very satisfied with his reaction. He was indeed a smart man.

"No, you came at the right time. Please feel free to sit down. This office is relatively simple. Please don't mind, Mr. Livermore." Ye Luo gently patted Huixin's head and asked her to stand up.

Her sincerity had been demonstrated, and it was time for her to get back to being her Rose DeWitt Bookett.

"Ye, is he the financial tycoon you said can cooperate with us?" Huixin simply sat next to Ye Luo. She only showed her daughterly attitude when facing him, and when she turned to look at Livermore , with a cold and questioning look on his face.

Livermore smiled and nodded: "He is indeed a famous businessman in Shanghai, China. I have heard of Mr. Ye Luo's name for a long time. It seems that you two already know my purpose of coming?"

Huixin's words and the gesture she showed made Livermore even more convinced that the real operator of Hongxing United Group was this young Chinese.

The pregnant widow with a big belly, numerous glorious titles and beautiful appearance is his money bag.

To be honest, Livermore envied Ye Luo.

He relied on his own accumulation bit by bit to make his fortune. It took him nearly thirty years to go from the first pot of gold to a wealthy family. If he could be like this young man and have a brainless woman with a net worth of over ten million Favor, maybe the detours in life can be avoided a lot.

"Mr. Livermore is also interested in shorting the U.S. stock market, right?" Ye Luo is never secretive about business cooperation, and his intentions are very clear.

Moreover, with the current momentum of the U.S. stock market, if you say you want to go short, the people who laugh at you on the New York Stock Exchange will probably queue up to the door of the Empire State Building.

When he heard the word short selling, Livermore's expression changed slightly. He thought that Easterners would be very reserved, but it seemed that he was overthinking.

"How does Mr. Ye plan to go short?" Livermore himself is also a neat person. Since the topic is clear, he will go straight to the topic, "Such a huge stock market, without sufficient funds, is very likely to overturn. "

"Isn't this the reason why we meet here?" Ye Luo smiled faintly, "If we can eat such a big plate ourselves, why bother looking for the other party to share a piece of the pie, right? Since Mr. Livermore is willing to come and listen My nagging means that you are not confident about your own funds, right?"

"It's really comfortable to chat with smart people." Livermore leaned gently on the back of the sofa and crossed his legs. "Then I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Ye, how much money and manpower can your Hongxing United Group provide? "

"This number." Ye Luo stretched out five fingers.

Livermore's body trembled slightly.

Five million dollars?

This amount seems a bit low.

Judging from his expression, he is so confident. With just this little money, he shouldn't be able to come to him with such a big fanfare, right?

Could it be.

"The bottom line is US$50 million. Mr. Livermore, I can assure you that the funds I will provide will never be lower than this amount." Yelo added.

It’s really fifty million!

Livermore suddenly felt a little thirsty.

The Livermore Group he holds can now produce a maximum cash flow of about 25 million US dollars. This amount is his limit, but it is enough to cause a small earthquake in the US stock market.

But if you want to leverage the entire stock market, this money is obviously not enough.

But with Ye Luo's 50 million, it's hard to say.

If he really had that much money.

With his thoughts racing, Livermore subconsciously looked at the big-breasted and brainless woman. Her actions on the New York Stock Exchange and recent appearances clearly showed that she did not understand any financial and economic knowledge.

He even felt that this woman didn't understand business at all.

The two have a close male-female relationship, and maybe the child in her belly is also his, but even so, is she willing to give all her wealth to her lover?

"If there are really 50 million," Livermore swallowed, his voice trembling, "then I think we can give it a try."

"Then it's settled. But I think it's still early for the stock market to collapse. We can have a long-term plan and don't need to decide on a strategy so quickly, right?" Ye Luo looked at him with a smile and looked at Livermore's expression. I knew this old gambler couldn't resist such a big temptation.

He didn't know how much money the Livermore Group could offer, and it didn't matter anyway.

Because no matter how much it is, it certainly doesn’t have fifty million dollars.

As for Ye Luo, where did he get the 50 million? Anyway, let it go first, and the money can be collected slowly.

He has 15 million from the important military and political figures of the Republic of China, and 17 million from himself, which makes him 32 million. Of course, a lot of this money has already flowed into the stock market.

He could also transfer 5% of General Motors' stock to Sloan, which would allow him to realize some of it.

Just get it together before Black Tuesday.

"Yes, it is not easy to short the stock market, but I believe that with so much money, there is a great opportunity." Livermore nodded with a smile, and then asked doubtfully, "I am very curious, why is Mr. Ye like this?" Are you sure that this bull market will collapse? You know, the U.S. stock market has been maintaining this momentum for half a year. The president also said that it will be glorious for another four years. This was his campaign manifesto. He was elected, which shows that the people have great confidence in it. .”

"And if everyone is united, then what we have to fight is the United States, right?" Livermore added, and then curiously watched Ye Luo's reaction. (End of chapter)
