1928: The rise of giant merchants

After Franklin's notarization, Song Ziwen quickly received 87 million yuan from Ye Luo.

With this money, he can return to the Republic of China with peace of mind to help the principal clean up the mess.

In the United States, the show has just begun, and the economic crisis will soon come. When the time comes, buying machines and hiring workers will all be at bargain prices. Naturally, Ye Luo will not give up this golden opportunity.

At Friday's national crisis meeting, after President Hoover's boasting, the economic situation and the stock market seemed to have successfully stabilized.

Although the fate of many financial groups failed to reverse the decline of the stock market, it also gave many speculators and the public a little more confidence.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Livermore, Franklin and others also feel that the stock market is about to stabilize. As for whether there will be a wave of business recovery next year, no one knows.

On weekends, the New York Stock Exchange is not open, and the boiling United States has cooled down a bit.

Although many companies delisted and went bankrupt during this round of crisis, most of them survived.

Unfortunately, the companies that survived began to lay off employees in order to reduce expenses and continue to survive. Because Hoover put forward the requirement that companies should not reduce salaries during this period, the companies could only fire more employees to ensure the interests of the upper management.

Hoover had a good idea. He did not allow workers to increase their wages or reduce their wages. He just maintained a stable attitude and weathered the crisis.

However, the actual situation deviated too much from what he imagined.

Not only are those workers now unable to raise their wages, they have even lost their jobs!

Even so, there are still many people who claim that it’s not a big deal.

It’s just that many gamblers lost money, and the previously ridiculous price structure has been beneficially shrunk, which is actually a good thing.

The Harvard Economic Association even believes that the current economic state is normal, and believes that the main victims of this crash are the rich, not the poor.

However, when a rich man loses his savings, he fires his servants.

When a servant is dismissed;

When jewelry stores and high-priced clothing stores and other luxury businesses find their businesses declining and lay off employees who now have nothing to do;

When worried business executives decide to postpone plant expansions, or to eliminate this or that unprofitable unit, or to reduce production until sales prospects are clearer;

The terrible economic crisis began to spread quietly.

The first wave of an economic crisis is often a wave of unemployment.

Moreover, the collapse in the value of stock market investments has undermined the country’s credit system at numerous critical points, endangering corporate structures that seemed bedrock-proof just a few weeks ago.

Federal Reserve officials reported to President Hoover: "It will probably take many months before the adjustment is complete."

But Ye Luo knew that what was even more serious was the fact that when everything related to the national economy went awry, the country's economic system was still operating normally, which meant that inflation kept the industry stable.

How harmful inflation is is felt most deeply by future generations.

In such an environment, the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood welcomed its new owner and a unique wedding.

After completing the notarization, Franklin transferred the Roosevelt Hotel under his name to Ye Luo, which was actually given as a congratulatory gift to Huixin, who was about to get married for them.

Xu Wenqiang drove Ye Luo, Shi Jianqiao and Huo Ting'en to Hollywood.

From a distance, they saw a huge wedding banner and an enviable wedding celebration.

After all, the groom is the biggest beneficiary of this short-selling of the United States. The groom is not grand and cannot show his terrifying financial resources to everyone.

The rows of luxury cars spread all the way from the Hollywood intersection to the hotel parking lot, which was even more exaggerated than previous luxury car shows.

On the tarmac, several of the latest manned aircraft purchased from Boeing are ready to take off. Just waiting for an order, they will fly into the sky and spray out trail clouds, scattering colorful tickets all over the sky, and then open the curtains to congratulate the newlyweds. banner.

Such a luxurious wedding banquet was attended by very few people.

the reason is simple.

Livermore and Huixin are both the leaders of the short-selling group. It is unknown how much money from Americans and overseas capital was taken away by them. There are rumors that they cashed out more than one billion US dollars from the stock market!

Under such rumors, the two people have become public enemies in the United States.

Anyone who dared to come to their wedding banquet either had nothing to do with the stock market or had little to do with politics. Otherwise, as soon as they arrived, they were on the opposite side of Hoover and his cabinet.

Naturally, Franklin and others couldn't be present, so they had to continue acting.

On the other side, Livermore divorced his wife inexplicably and married a beautiful and sexy young woman who was old enough to be his daughter. The family couldn't bear it, at least half of them were not present.

But Fairbanks and others were not afraid of this and led a bunch of film company bosses and stars over to celebrate.

Their goal is simple: to attract investment from big investors like Mr. and Mrs. Livermore and make the film business more prosperous.

Ye Luo and others got out of the car, walked all the way, and soon arrived at the hotel lobby.

His arrival attracted the attention of many people.

Ye Luo is the first person to bet on the decline of U.S. stocks. He has also publicly stated that people should evacuate the stock market as soon as possible. He has not participated in short selling under public knowledge. He has a good reputation in Chinese circles and ghost circles.

Being invited by Hoover's cabinet to participate in various meetings and activities these several times illustrates his status and influence.

This is naturally opposite to the attitude of Livermore.

And the first time Huixin came into the public eye was with Ye Luo. The two behaved so intimately that they were once considered to be a couple.

Now that Ye Luo's "ex-boyfriend" and "enemy" are here to congratulate each other, it always makes people feel that there will be a good show to watch.

Fairbank and others wanted to come over and strike up a conversation with him, but they were concerned about the wedding and were afraid of offending Livermore, so they took no action.

On the other hand, American sweetheart Mary, who had been passed by Ye Luosan for a long time, was very accepting of death. She had spotted the big tree of Ye Luo, and came over to talk and toast without any scruples while raising her wine glass.

It made Ye Luo's empty table seem a little more popular.

"Ye, I always thought you and her were a couple." Mary smiled into his ear, "This has made me sad for a while."

"Really? You can rest assured now, we are just ordinary friends and former collaborators." Ye Luo hugged her plump waist and smiled, "I heard that RKO has arranged a new movie for you, how do you feel? ?”

"Great! I feel like I can win another Oscar!" Mary smiled sweetly, "You are really my lucky star, Ye!"

"I'll wait for you in the hotel room tonight~" She secretly bit her ear and said, her cheeks were red, as if she was drunk but also very sober.

"It's evening." Ye Luo looked at Hui Xin, who was as dazzling as a dazzling jewel, walking out of the crowd, "I'm afraid we don't have time."
