1928: The rise of giant merchants

"Ye, have you finished washing?" Mary held a pile of clean clothes and smiled at Ye Luo, "Can I go in and sit down?"

Ye Luo glanced at the American sweetheart who still had charm and a proud figure, nodded slightly, and welcomed her in.

"I didn't know what kind of clothes you liked, so I asked someone to go to a nearby mall and buy a set. Do you think this is suitable?"

Mary entered the room holding the clothes, kicked her high-heeled feet back, closed the door, then picked up a white shirt and walked towards him.

"As long as it fits." Ye Luo smiled and took the clothes, while Mary took them off as she walked, having already kicked off the high heels on her feet.

"I sweat a lot from running here just now, I'm going to the bathroom to take a shower~" Mary said, untying all the last restraints, twisting her waist and giving Ye Luo a wink, and then went into the bathroom holding her chest. .

"This is a dessert delivered to your door. The private life of Americans is really messy." Ye Luo sat down on the bed wrapped in a bath towel. It looked like it wasn't time to change clothes yet, and he would probably need to rinse a few more times in a while.

Mary came out wet soon. She was only wrapped in the same white bath towel as Ye Luo. Water beads were rolling on her body, and her skin was fair and tender. At first glance, it was obvious that she had been well taken care of.

"I prefer lying on my stomach." Mary said as she obediently untied her bath towel and lay on the big bed, her waist slightly sunk, and the snow valley raised high, drawing a perfect arc.

It took Ye Luo three hours to transform America's sweetheart into American puffs.

By the time he came out of the presidential suite, it was already dark, and the entire Hollywood was filled with lights and lights, entering the night world as usual.

Different from Shanghai’s rich Shanghai-style style and luxuries, Hollywood is full of money, with cars, beautiful women, luxury goods, and high-rise buildings emerging one after another. There are various entertainment venues on every street, which is like the Las Vegas of later generations. .

Walking in the night scene, Ye Luo thought about how to lure Edward Sassoon into a trap.

He joined his own stock trading club with important military and political officials of the Republic of China, but the total money spent was only four to five million oceans, even if he lost all, it would be just that.

During the exercise just now, America's sweetheart mentioned many secrets of the Sassoon family, especially the fact that as the eldest son, Edward hopes to inherit his father's legacy, but because of his mediocre talent, he has never been recognized. He previously collaborated in smoking cigarettes because he hopes to rise to the top in one step. , so that Sassoon would recognize him.

Taking advantage of his urgent need, Mary can send someone to cooperate with him to lure Edward into the abyss step by step.

"Then we have to let America's sweetheart make some money in the stock market first, so that we can be more convincing." After walking for a while, Ye Luo probably had a plan in mind, so he continued to move forward humming a song.

Early the next morning, Ye Luo took Mary to visit Hollywood. Mary tried her best to please him and used her skills to the fullest. In business, with her as one of the founders of Oscar, any American film company can easily get online. In life, On the Internet, a young mature woman like her understands men better than a young girl, and she is more comfortable in serving him, making Ye Luo's trip to Hollywood worthwhile.

However, after Huixin found John D. Rockefeller Jr., she had to return to New York early.

The new bull market that broke out in the U.S. stock market after Citibank's capital injection was beyond everyone's imagination. Even secondary exchanges like Amax were overcrowded, leaving Hongxing United Group with a shortage of salesmen.

As the nominal CEO, Huixin had to sign off on many of the company's affairs. She had no choice but to give up her vacation and hurried back to New York, where she, along with Situ Feifei and the others, helped Ye Luo continue to fool the Americans.

After the last stock market crash, nearly a hundred penny stocks were delisted, causing many low-level speculators to lose all their money. However, with the beginning of this new bull market, these people came back and quickly relied on bank loans. As soon as the financing is in place, we will continue to compete in the stock market.

As prosperous as the stock market is U.S. real estate.

The real estate bubble is another symbol of overheated money, and it is also an alternative way of digesting the overheated stock market. We should not let the hot money go away too fast, so that this situation can last longer.

At this time, housing prices in places such as New York and Los Angeles were rising steadily. Many Native Americans had already made their first pot of gold in life by selling land, and then they put this pot of gold into the stock market.

With the endorsement of the White House and the President, and Hoover’s words that it can prosper for another ten years, countless people firmly believe that land prices will continue to double. If you don’t buy a house now, you won’t be able to afford it in a month or two.

The large piece of wasteland in front of Hongxing United Group will be the future Empire State Building in New York. At this time, it is still a large area of ​​abandoned farmland belonging to several indigenous farmers.

Yelo took a fancy to them as soon as he came to New York. Now with the assistance of Governor Franklin, he naturally bought the land from those farmers for tens of thousands of dollars.

Real estate is booming, and Franklin always thought that Ye Luo would take the opportunity to speculate in various luxury villas, and some of them must be apartment buildings or hotels, but he has been circling farmland and wasteland that no one wants, leaving Franklin completely confused. .

On June 10, Ye Luo returned to New York from Hollywood and went to the Franklin family's villa. He spent a million dollars to buy almost all the wasteland that could be bought in New York.

Franklin specifically asked Ye Luo why he did this. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to invest in real estate?

The development of this kind of farmland and wasteland not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also has extremely low economic value.

After all, it has not been developed by the city hall, which means that these lands are either in poor geographical location or not suitable for the construction of high-rise buildings. They are typical abandoned lands.

One million dollars is not a small amount of money.

Ye Luo's answer made him even more confused.

"If one day the unemployment rate in the United States exceeds 50%, there are homeless people everywhere, and countless families are broken up, and they cannot afford to rent a house or eat a hot meal, then if there are very cheap apartments to live in, They’re willing to give it their all.”

Ye Luo bought so much wasteland, of course, not for serious development, but to build chain-type cheap large-scale apartments on it. Without spending much money on development, he could create urban villages that resemble slums.

These places will become homes for countless people in the future and are in high demand due to their low rents.

When the economy recovers after World War II, these unsightly urban villages will be demolished, just like the demolitions throughout China in later generations.

Just imagine, how much compensation should be paid for large-scale demolition in New York?

Of course, these were all casual moves by Ye Luo. After returning to New York, his sights returned to the stock market.

It's time to give those celebrities in the Republic of China a little shock. (End of chapter)
