1928: The rise of giant merchants

On September 28, when people got the newspapers early in the morning, they were surprised to find that the front pages of major newspapers still published reports about the stock market.

Since President Hoover personally stepped down to stabilize the morale of the military on September 25, various fields such as government, business, media, and cultural circles seem to have the same goal in pointing to the U.S. stock market. Various promising reports have emerged in an endless stream. It seems that you can hear these wherever you go. The big guys have ardent expectations and beautiful visions for the US stock market.

It seemed like everything was fine again.

As soon as the market opened today, the stock market was rising crazily on the big blackboard of the New York Stock Exchange. The opening price of Radio Corporation of America's stock was US$120.5. In one morning, it rose to a gratifying US$138.5, an increase of up to US$18!

There is a general bullish sentiment across all stocks.

Near the close of the market, the market display on the stock trading floor showed that today's total trading volume was 3.87 million shares, but the actual trading volume was larger because market transactions were about six minutes faster than the market display.

September 29th.

Liu Xuenong, who came to the New York Stock Exchange early, felt that his mood was like a roller coaster. When the market opened in the morning, the opening price of Radio Corporation of America was as high as 160 US dollars, which was even an increase of 21.5 US dollars from the previous day's closing price. He was ecstatic.

Everyone who held RCA stock made a windfall, including Liu Xuenong.

The deficit of US$19.19 million made him terrified day and night, fearing that he would not be able to suppress the "crazy people" of the Republic of China. Fortunately, with the recent bailout actions of the President, the stock market has gradually recovered. He relied on his small amount of equity to slowly recover and has already made a profit. Millions of dollars.

"Earn a little more, and when the dividends are paid at the end of the month, we can stop those people's mouths." Liu Xuenong clenched his fists and thought.

He knew how terrible the warlords who were fighting in the country were.

Even though the south was already ruled by the Jinling National Government at this time, each province and city was actually still in a state of autonomy. The top and second-in-commands of the military and government there were the real Tu emperors, possessing great energy and terrifying wealth.

Similarly, if they lose all their savings, they will definitely not be able to escape pursuit even if they are in the United States.

Also coming with him today was Edward Sassoon, the first heir to the Sassoon family and the leader of the group of rich young men.

This ghost guy has a perverted XP, which makes the company employees responsible for receiving him complain endlessly, and also gives Liu Xuenong a huge headache.

"Edward, look, I bought all these stocks that have risen sharply." Liu Xuenong smiled at him as if he was taking credit.

Edward couldn't understand these data at all. He just came to the New York Stock Exchange to feel the atmosphere so that he could show off later.

"Yeah, yeah." He nodded perfunctorily, but his eyes kept scanning the trading floor, "So how much have we made in the past few days?"

"About 500,000 US dollars." Liu Xuenong did not dare to say too much.

"Only 500,000?" Edward glared at him dissatisfied, which is equivalent to more than 2 million in the ocean, which is not painful at all.

"Don't worry, what happens next..." Liu Xuenong wanted to say something else, but when he turned around, Edward was nowhere to be seen.

He quickly scanned the crowded hall, and was shocked to find that Edward walked downstairs and rushed towards Huixin, who had not appeared at the New York Stock Exchange for a long time!

The ghost of Liu Xuenong appears!

I'm afraid that this ghost guy will do something strange.

"Hey, Mrs. Dewitbucket, long time no see, do you still remember me?" Edward smiled and went over to strike up a conversation.

He has a typical Western face, with flowing blond hair. Although his body has been drained by wine and sex, he believes that he is still at the level of reducing the dimensionality of Eastern women.

When he met Huixin for the first time, when he learned that she was of mixed Chinese and American descent and had the appearance of an Asian woman, he felt that he was sure to win.

If he hadn't heard later that this woman had an affair with Ye Luo, he might have taken action long ago.

"Who are you?" Seeing that it was a foreigner, Hui Xin raised her chin slightly and asked in confusion.

"Allow me to introduce myself again. I am Edward Sassoon." Edward calmed down his unhappiness. The other party actually forgot about him. But after all, this is the United States, her territory, so it is better not to say goodbye first. Good for causing trouble.

"Oh. Let's talk next time when we have a chance. Mr. Sassoon, I have something to do, so let's go first." Huixin saw through the intention of the chattering ghost at a glance, and was too lazy to pay attention. She twisted her slim waist and raised her hips and walked towards the VIP room.

Edward was so angry that his teeth itched and his fists clenched tightly. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Xuenong, who arrived in time.

Liu Xuenong didn't want Edward to have too much contact with Huixin, because he had lost a lot of stock capital of celebrities in the Republic of China at this time. The more contacts these related people had, the greater the possibility that he would reveal his secrets.

"You son of a bitch, watch me fuck you in bed from now on." Edward kept saying dirty words in his heart, but his face was full of smiles.

Liu Xuenong finally dragged Edward back to the second floor. As soon as he finished his steps, there were sudden exclamations from below.

He quickly ran down to check again.

It turned out that the trading department of the New York Stock Exchange issued a temporary statement, which immediately poured cold water on investors.

This is a statement about the trading department's cooperation with the FBI in investigating whether there is a technology monopoly in the current stock market. The content is vague and arouses imagination, and the finger seems to be pointed at Radio Corporation of America.

As a result, some investors began to sell Radio's shares, causing the stock price to quickly fall to $140.

Looking at the sudden drop in stock prices, Liu Xuenong's heart was bleeding.

If you sell earlier, you may earn more!

It's all this damn ghost guy's fault!

He looked up at Edward on the second floor. This ghost guy was hooking up with a woman again!

After this battle, radio stocks began to fall again. If it continued to decline, he would not be able to keep his millions of dollars in profits, but he was unwilling to give up.

During this period of thinking, another new news came from the stock market: a large broker was liquidated due to illegal operations.

This is good news.

As a result, Radio stock prices rose back to $155, which was still $7.5 higher than the previous day, and investors breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of roller coaster-like ups and downs is really unpleasant, but Liu Xuenong is extremely helpless and can only hope that the stock will continue to rise.

In the VIP room.

Looking at the declining share price of Radio Corporation of America, Ye Luo smiled and said nothing.

This kind of fluctuation just shows that large capital is already fleeing the stock market. If you enter the market at this time, or if you don't escape, you will be really involved and unable to extricate yourself.

Of course, there is very little capital to escape in this way, and most people have never heard of it.

"That man calls himself Edward Sassoon?" Ye Luo held Huixin in his arms. From the appearance and tone of her description, there was a high probability that he was indeed that Edward.

"Yeah~ Those squinty eyes kept staring at me. It's so disgusting that I can't forget it even if I want to." Huixin's coquettish vibrato made the new female trader opposite him lose consciousness.

She has been hinted by her superiors that the relationship between these two VIPs is unusual.

But when I saw it, I was still a little shocked.

Mrs. DeWitt Bookett, a cold young woman now famous in New York State, was as tired of the Chinese man as a kitten in heat.

"It seems it's time to close the net."

Ye Luo had been keeping Liu Xuenong in order to make him take the blame. Edward, who came to the United States, showed that the Republic of China could no longer hold back and sent people to investigate the U.S. stock market.

Paper cannot contain fire.

Once the U.S. stock market collapses completely, Liu Xuenong may not be able to bear it any longer, and he may end up telling the truth about Hui Xin.

Especially since he had some contact with Edward.

Now he still has room for maneuver in his situation. He has to rely on Hongxing's status as vice president to survive. He will definitely not betray Huixin and himself, and there is no need to betray him.

But when there is nothing, it’s hard to say.

Huixin also thought about these problems, so she rushed to tell Ye Luo.

She is a woman who looks gentle but is actually ruthless, the exact opposite of Xiao A Qiao.

When she first joined Hongxing, she started selling fairy stocks, and her temperament was evident in her ability to resolutely cheat Luo Fei, a Hongmen disciple who had helped her.

Although Liu Xuenong was one of the first people she met, if he hindered her life, she would eradicate him without hesitation.

Ye Luo also liked this about her, so he kept her working in the United States.

In fact, without Liu Xuenong, the final blame would most likely fall on Huixin.

Huixin knew this very well, but she was still willing to be manipulated by Ye Luo.

Ye Luo couldn't help but sigh, women, sometimes the thought of love is even more outrageous than the halo of wisdom.

"Brother Luo, you want me to take action against him?" Huixin's eyes turned sinister and she made a gesture on her neck with her hand.

"No need for now. Let Jianqiao and the others monitor him first. If he has any strange thoughts, he will deal with them soon." Ye Luo waved his hand. He knew when Liu Xuenong would have a mental breakdown, so there was no rush now. (End of chapter)
