1928: The rise of giant merchants

June 30th.

Before you know it, half of 1929 has passed.

It has been two and a half months since we set off from Shiliupu Pier on April 17.

Ye Luo was in trouble in New York for two and a half months, making the New York Stock Exchange's eyes turn white and almost becoming a Honkai Aheiyan.

As a new round of public opinion broke out, stocks at all levels showed a shocking surge, which made Hoover, who had just secured his position as president, beam with joy and wished he could forcefully roll back the Fed's monetary tightening policy some time ago.

Adding fuel to the already overheated stock market.

In addition to guiding the new generation of salesmen in Hongxing United Group to sell various penny stocks these days, Ye Luo and Huixin continued to manipulate stock trading in the VIP room of the New York Stock Exchange, using their own 50 million US dollars on hand, and the Republic of China Army The more than 15 million U.S. dollars invested by political dignitaries greatly stirred up the stock market and made another windfall.

The more aggrieved people are Franklin and others.

He was a hostile force of the Hoover faction. Even after he became the governor of New York and no longer opposed the White House, he was still often pulled out and severely beaten by people from the Hoover faction.

Franklin originally followed President Wilson, but missed the position of vice president because he helped him publicize it. This incident has become an eternal pain in his heart. Now, people are repeatedly rubbing salt into the wound, and it is almost unbearable.

Fortunately, now they all know that the person who jumps more powerfully at this time will fall more miserably when the time comes, so they hold their breath and no longer pay attention to other people's cynicism.

This afternoon, after Ye Luo sent Huixin back to her room to rest, she followed a group of Hongmen boys and local gangsters to observe how the current White House factions deal with people who disagree with them.

"These Americans, whenever they have any dirty work, they either hand it over to gangsters or come to Chinatown to find Chinese people to show up. They are not willing to get their hands dirty at all." The speaker was Luo Fei, who originally treated Huixin Hongmen disciples introduced here.

Like Liu Xuenong, he was the only one who was not dealt with by Situ Meitang.

Although Luo Fei is a tall and rough man and has been doing the job of licking blood with the tip of a knife, he is more clever and has been working in Hongmen for several years. He is considered an old man and knows what to say and what not to say, so he has saved his life. Life.

Of course, in fact, his daily itinerary and every move were closely monitored. Ye Luo also arranged for Xu Wenqiang to look after him. Whenever Luo Fei made any move, he would immediately offer him a peanut.

Today, Hongmen took the order from the city hall to help deal with a few "die-hards" who slandered the stock market.

Looking at the luxurious suburban villa in front of him, Ye Luo felt emotional.

Others say that China during the Republic of China was a place where people ate people, so why not the United States?

Situ Meitang treated himself like a spring breeze and wished he could send his favorite little daughter to Ye Luo to be his concubine. Every move he made showed everyone's demeanor and elder kindness. But after learning about Huixin and the possible problems, he decisively The most ruthless measures were taken.

Ye Luo thought he was the one who wanted to kill the people he had raised and make them victims of the times. He would do it, but he would never be as calm and calm as Situ Meitang.

This may become his weakness later on.

As time goes by, the most terrible thing is coming, and he must overcome this.

Therefore, no matter what, I have to come and observe once, and give myself some more harsh medicine.

"Second Young Master, we sent someone to confirm. It is the home of the president of the New York Charity Association. Next door is the home of the owner of Moody's Investment Services. They happen to be together. Let me just say, we are not a family and we do not live in the same room. , these damn Americans are so annoying when they cause trouble."

Luo Fei summoned a group of boys to put on black scarves and took out guns they got from nowhere. A group of more than a hundred people, all in black clothes and black trousers, ran towards the two huge suburban villas in an aggressive manner. go.

"Old rules, men, women, and children, no matter whether they are family members or not, if you see them today, don't leave anyone alive. All the family's money and property must be robbed, and they must be disguised as burglaries and murders!"

Luo Fei and the others, with fierce eyes on their faces, rushed towards the two villas like crazy.

These desperadoes include Hongmen disciples, Peaky Blinders, mercenaries, etc. In the United States, where gun control is not strict and gun proliferation is serious, this group of people is like a fish in water, living in the dark side of the city, specializing in doing some dirty work for the big shots above. Black cause.

Contrary to the soaring stock prices, business activities in all walks of life have plummeted, and that decline is simply irreversible.

This is very similar to the current Republic of China. On one side, there is a blazing economic state, and on the other side, business is in dire straits.

Just at the beginning of this month, the president of the New York Philanthropic Association wrote a report: "The current unemployment rate is the highest in the post-war period, setting a historical record. We should not mistakenly believe that the economy is improving because of the overheated stock market. The reality is just the opposite.”

Under his leadership, the Charity Association began to continuously issue warnings to stock investors. Following this, Moody's Investors Service also stated: "Currently, the price of stocks has far exceeded the expected state, and the stock market is moving at a very high rate." It is operating in an irrational state, and no one knows how much effort we need to expend to adjust the current stock market to its normal state."

However, such warnings were not taken seriously, but were regarded by a group of senior American officials as bad words and deeds that undermined the current good situation.

After repeated warnings to no avail, the president of the Charity Association and others increasingly hoped to awaken the crazy stock investors through warnings. Unfortunately, their efforts were meaningless, and instead they were regarded as a thorn in the side of the senior management.

Then this scene happened.

Screams, cries, and fire shooting into the sky.

Ye Luo witnessed a crazy action with his own eyes and realized that the terrifying and massive amounts of money could completely dehumanize people.

This layout of mine seems to be seamless, but you must be careful and careful.

It was already dark when we returned to Hongxing United Group from the suburbs.

Kong Lingjun held her homework book with a frown on her face, cursing the teacher who was always absent-minded. Unexpectedly, she actually scolded the teacher back, which scared her little head.

Just when Ye Luo was about to teach this little guy a lesson, Shi Jianqiao, who had never shown any panic before, suddenly rushed over.

This made him feel as if he had seen Xiaoli again, who loved to shout "Second Young Master, something bad is going to happen" all day long.

"Brother Luo, there's an urgent call from Shanghai, and I'm looking for you everywhere." Shi Jianqiao's face was rosy, and his tone was just anxious. It didn't seem like it was bad news.

Ye Luo asked her to drink some water first, then asked with a smile: "What's going on?"

"Second Young Mistress, little Aqiao, she is about to give birth." Shi Jianqiao said anxiously. (End of chapter)
