1928: The rise of giant merchants

The principal's wife and Song Ziwen in the audience also frowned slightly and looked at Ye Luo in confusion, and then at Hui Xin who was calm and composed.

"Second Young Master, what do you mean?"

"Second Young Master, we trust your ability to trade stocks. Can't we keep this capital for your operation?"

"Second Young Master, if you feel that we have not invested enough, you can add more money."

The Paramount Ballroom, which was very quiet just now, suddenly became bustling with people. Celebrities stood up anxiously to ask questions, even without the most important demeanor.

Huixin made 30 million US dollars from the U.S. stock market, which made people extremely jealous. They didn't ask for that much, just a little bit from her fingers was enough. But now that Ye Luo wants to play with them, who will? Can you bear it?

"Everyone, please be patient." Ye Luo pressed down with his hand and continued to smile, "It's not that I don't want to continue to use these shares to trade stocks to make money, but the company's articles of association do not allow it. The U.S. stock market is now restricted by the White House, the Federal Reserve and other officials The supervision of the company is extremely strict on external capital. If I don't join forces with Mrs. Dewitbucket, my investment will be greatly restricted. If I join the Hongxing United Group, the equity I operate will have to be reshuffled. "

"Everyone, the president of Hongxing United Group is Mrs. Dewit Bookett. I am a trader and cannot determine the source of funds and the details of capital stock. Therefore, according to the formal procedures, your capital stock must be returned first and re-accepted. Of course, the new capital stock The recruitment, contract signing and operation process will all be dominated by Hongxing United Group."

"That is to say, the second young master has also become a wage earner. If we want to make money in the U.S. stock market, we must rely on that foreign woman." Lin Kanghou quickly understood what Ye Luo meant.

Everyone suddenly understood, and their anxious hearts slowly relaxed.

They don't care much about how the principal operates, and they don't care much about who is operating in the United States. As long as the money can make money, and some make money, that's fine.

At the same time, Ye Luo's words were equivalent to putting Hui Xin on the fire.

Countless celebrities gathered their attention. Thanks to the fact that Huixin had experienced such scenes many times in the United States, her acting skills were superb. Practice made perfect with every move she made and she handled it with ease.

The principal's wife lowered her head and consulted her in English. After learning that this was a rigid rule of the Federal Reserve, she said nothing more.

She knew in her heart that although Mrs. Dewitbucket was the big boss behind the scenes, the person who really controlled the stock buying and selling was still Ye Luo. She just used a more legal way to trade stocks, which had little impact.

Recently, the National Army has been fighting for many years, and the national treasury has been severely depleted. The principal's wife is also sweating profusely, and is in urgent need of a huge sum of money to make up for the various deficiencies——

Previously, the principal, Song Ziwen and others gave her a large amount of money to purchase aircraft and artillery from military powers such as the United States. However, she believed the words of a bunch of so-called economic and financial experts and felt that the current war was just a small fight. The purchased aircraft Cannons will be obsolete in a few years. It is better to deposit the money in an overseas bank to earn interest, and then take it out to buy it when needed.

Now the money is all dead and cannot be touched easily, but the two wars between Jiang Gui and Jiang Feng cost a lot, and the principal has thought about using the money. There is probably a war with Yan Laoxi next, and the principal's wife is anxious.

Knowing the predicament his sister was in now, Song Ziwen was helpless.

His Ministry of Finance did not know how much money he had embezzled. Once the war came to light, the true colors were revealed. These two battles were all due to the support of Kong Xiangxi and the Kong family, so they could not hide the past. He also needed money.

The two of them looked at Huixin with burning eyes, and had already begun to formulate plans to find her a shareholding in the past two days.

"When anything goes wrong, there must be a monster. You can't believe the words of profiteers." Dai Li, who was far away, couldn't get into such a high-end game, but he became increasingly wary and suspicious of Ye Luo.

Because he was doing intelligence work, the trick Dai Li used most was to lure the enemy into the urn and lure the enemy deeper. He didn't understand economics and finance, but the smell of what Ye Luo did was too similar, which made him feel bad.

However, now not only the principal's wife, but also the principal have high praise for Ye Luo. Dai Li's rise from an unknown person to the principal's confidant relies on his ability to observe people's emotions. Speaking ill of Ye Luo at this time is tantamount to courting death.

"It seems that we can only increase the surveillance of the Ye family." Dai Li thought secretly in his heart.

After Ye Luo finished speaking, Wang Ji and other dancers came on stage again to sing and dance, accompanied by the Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe, and the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

Then a bunch of celebrities started to squeeze their heads to make their presence felt in front of Hui Xin.

The second young master said that Hongxing United Group would be responsible for the subsequent capital absorption, and Mrs. Dewitbucket made the decision alone. He, Ye Luo, had no right to speak at all.

Whether this lady from the United States is willing to absorb their equity depends on their abilities.

Money is the best motivator.

Greed is the root cause of human destruction.

Seeing those military and political dignitaries whose stomping of feet could make China tremble, "the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers" in front of Huixin, Ye Luo couldn't help but lament the horror of huge profits and capital.

Money can often make a person completely lose his mind, and this is no joke.

In his previous life, when Ye Luo was working as a salesman, his master once said this.

In this world, the hardest money to make is the money in the pockets of the rich, because they are greedy, cunning, and stingy than anyone else.

In this world, the best money to make is the money in the pockets of the rich, because they are greedy, never satisfied, and dare to take risks more than anyone else.

These people obviously don't understand stocks or finance, but as long as they identify with themselves as so-called "experts" and see dazzling huge profits, they will plunge into the stock market without hesitation and become the ultimate victims.

In the past few years, with the overheating of the U.S. stock market and real estate, people have forgotten the scam of the century ten years ago.

In later generations, no one knows about this scam.

--Ponzi scheme.

This scam was "invented" by a speculative businessman named Charles Ponzi.

Charles Ponzi was a very famous Italian speculator who immigrated to the United States in 1903.

In 1919, he began to plan a conspiracy. Scammers invested in a company that was actually fictitious, promising that investors would receive a 40% profit return within three months. Then, the cunning Ponzi used the new investors' money as quick profits. Pay the people who initially invested to induce more people to fall for the scam.

Ponzi succeeded in attracting 30,000 investors in seven months due to generous returns for those who invested early.

This conspiracy lasted for a year before people who were dazzled by the benefits came to their senses. Later generations called it a "Ponzi scheme."

Such a clumsy scam could actually flourish in a military and economic power like the United States, and it took a year to be discovered because of the dense and insurmountable information gap.

As well as those speculators, the greedy thoughts that leeks can never get rid of.

But now Ye Luo is quietly brewing a bigger, more sophisticated and more terrifying "Ye's scam", which will only make them sink deeper and die more miserably.

"Yongzhen, how do you feel?" Ye Luo pushed Ma Yongzhen with his elbow.

Ma Yongzhen swallowed: "To be honest, Second Young Master, looking at this posture and listening to your speech, I want to use my savings to invest in stocks for you! Such a high profit rate is more profitable than smoking. It’s crazy!”

"Then what if I say that in half a year, the stock market will plummet and all your money will be swallowed up?" Ye Luo laughed.

"Haha, Second Young Master, you are joking again." Ma Yongzhen's face was full of disbelief.

Doesn’t that mean these people are all fools?

How can there be such a fool?

Knowing that you will lose money, you still invest money in it?

"Yes, even if this is not a joke, I told you seriously, but you still jumped into the fire pit without looking back." Ye Luo smiled and patted him.

Ma Yongzhen's expression became even more exciting: "How is it possible? I'm not a fool. The second young master said you can't do anything, and I still want to die?"

"Who knows." Ye Luo looked at the enthusiastic crowd and Hui Xin, who was surrounded by people, and lit a cigarette. (End of chapter)
