1928: The rise of giant merchants

December 5, the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929).

After the stock market rebounded in the past few days, the stock prices of many stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange soared, and the trading volume became as huge as in the first half of the year. A new calf market has begun.

The speculators gradually recovered and felt that things were developing for the better. There were more and more people in the trading floor, and there were more and more laughter.

Gwen still often ran from the VIP room to hang out on the trading floor, but no matter how hot the stock market was, she never saw that gentle and elegant young Chinese man with bright eyes when he smiled.

Why doesn't he come?

Did I appear to be too hasty in tipping off the information, making him suspicious?

Did you find a new trader?

A blond American girl in her early twenties had the first problem she couldn't figure out in her life.

On the other hand, although the stock market is obviously very crazy, consortiums have started a craze for mergers, mergers and holdings of various large companies. This should have happened when the economy was at its worst.

The Van Sweringer Syndicate completed their purchase of the Missouri Pacific Railroad;

YB Bank completed mergers in the airline industry and many other industries;

New York's Chase Bank merged with two of its competitors to become the world's largest bank.

Investment salesmen also had something new, selling $500 million worth of shares in the latest investment product, fixed investment trusts, to gullible novices.

No one noticed that these large consortiums were surprisingly unanimous in that they were more interested in merging companies than in expanding old ones or launching new ones.

This is obviously a very dangerous warning.

On the big blackboard of the New York Stock Exchange, the stock market price receiver showed: U.S. Steel's stock price was $38.75, American Telephone Company's stock price was $24.25, General Motors' stock price was $63.62, General Electric Company's stock price was $23.37, and Standard Oil Company of New Jersey's stock price was $44.87. ——It is higher than the lowest point, especially for U.S. Steel. Since it was acquired by YB Bank, the stock price has been on the rise.

But so what? Even at the peak of the bull market, there were still countless people lining up on the streets to receive relief.

Just today, Miss Frances Perkins, the New York State Industrial Commissioner, announced that unemployment is worse than at any time since the state began collecting data in 1914.

In several cities in the west, thousands of unemployed people formed demonstrations, but were brutally dispersed by the police.

Then today, at the afternoon close, the Dow Jones turned down again, and so did the stock market.

Over the next two days, the stock market plummeted.

At the same time, Hoover put on a smile and announced: "We are now past the worst stage. We should continue to unite and work together, and the economy will recover soon." He also predicted that by next spring By then, business will return to normal.

But Yello knew very well that it was during that season that the long decline of American business began again.

America is completely screwed.

In every way.

Of course Ye Luo, the leak-picking madman, will not miss these good opportunities. In addition to spending time with Lin Ruxian and Hui Xinnui these days, he has visited big cities in the United States. With a huge amount of money in his hands, he can buy whatever he likes without thinking at all. too much.

The United States now is a treasure that has lost the protection of the dragon. If you dig a little bit, you will be rich in the future.

Of course, his focus is still mainly on heavy and light industry, medicine, and high technology. These three are the top priorities and have the highest returns.

There were still frequent calls from the Republic of China, but fewer and fewer people contacted Ye Luo, and their tone became more and more pessimistic.

These military and political dignitaries who have invested in the U.S. stock market are now facing a more difficult situation. They are being targeted by the principal's number one pawn.

At this time, Dai Li was not as calm as he would later be. He was eager to make meritorious deeds, eager to become the principal's most useful killing knife, and even dared to attack the Ye family, which was in full swing!

This time he got a chance, how could he give up so easily?

These people were arrested by the Intelligence Department and tortured over and over again. Some even went to Longhua Prison and never came out.

Dai Li was not satisfied yet.

He really wanted to find out what happened to Ye Luo.

The strange thing is that everyone mentioned Ye Luo, and all the fingers pointed at Ye Luo, but he was the first one to leave.

Rumors about Livermore, Ye Luo and Huixin were prevalent in the United States, and some spread to the Republic of China, but no one cared.

After all, this is an era when information media is not very developed. It is difficult for anyone to get a glimpse of the whole story from clues.

And there is also the support of the principal’s wife.

She suffered a big loss in the stock market crash and spent all the military expenses on buying airplanes. Thanks to Ye Luo's help in "finding" her principal back, she didn't have to fall out with the principal.

Just like what she said on the phone that day, she is willing to do whatever this godbrother wants to do with her.

This is life-saving kindness.

On Mrs. Sun's side, she stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel for a while and didn't like the atmosphere of Hollywood, so she went to see Mei Lanfang, who was touring in the United States.

This Peking Opera master is very popular now and has not been affected by the economic crisis at all. Tickets for every play are sold out.

After telling Ye Luo clearly about Meng Xiaodong, he felt a lot more relaxed, as if the knot in his heart that had been tied to him for many years had been untied and he was extremely clear.

This was indeed the case in previous lives.

The relationship between Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong went from hot to cold to torturous, and finally ended with Meng Xiaodong breaking up with him, which made everyone uncomfortable.

Meng Xiaodong became confused because of this, fell in love with the gangster tycoon Lu Yusheng, and followed him to Xiangjiang.

But this kind of thing has never happened in this life. Lu Yusheng has been dealt with long ago. Meng Xiaodong hid in the villa in Fengtian and became Ye Luo's little canary. The man who hugged the quilt and missed her every day even went on stage to perform. All missing.

She has become a proper love-minded young woman.

For the sake of Ye Luo's future, she chose to break off contact with Ye Luo. At this time, she still didn't know what Mei Lanfang and Ye Luo had agreed upon.

Seeing Mei Lanfang, Ye Luo remembered this and felt that it was time to return to the Republic of China and give Meng Xiaodong and the others a status.

Thinking about my status gave me another headache.

Although Bai Xiuzhu didn't say it, she was still the little girl who followed her and called "Brother Ye Luo" after her since she was a child. She even skipped school and came back from Japan for her sake.

She must be feeling very sad.

Moreover, both Xiao Aqiao and Hu Die were pregnant, but her belly was silent.

Ye Luo felt a little sad when he thought about family matters, but as he thought about it, he suddenly thought of something very important -

Family trust funds.

When the family wealth is too large and the family becomes a consortium, overseas families will do this in order to continue their prosperity and prosperity. This will make it easier to control the wealth and prevent the family from collapsing during the recession.

"It seems that the Livermore family was looking for a trust fund at this time in the previous life, so I just happened to call him together." Ye Luo thought, and quickly asked Shi Jianqiao to make a call. (End of chapter)
