1928: The rise of giant merchants

Living room of Franklin's villa in New York, USA.

"Ye! I knew you would definitely come back to me!" Franklin in the wheelchair beamed, raised his glass and laughed loudly at Ye Luo.

At this time, the only people gathered in the living room were the "old guys" who made money together in the US stock market storm——

Franklin, Ma Mu Rui, John Jr., Joseph Sr., Ye Luo, Livermore, and the only female Huixin.

During the global economic crisis of 1929, they took away more than 6 billion US dollars from the U.S. stock market. Now four years after the incident, this incident is still being praised by people in the stock market and is regarded as a legend.

The total net worth of these people sitting here is close to 10 billion US dollars at this time!

"Congratulations, Franklin, I didn't expect you to really succeed!" Ye Luo also smiled and clinked his wine glass with him.

When he left the United States in 1930, Yello was the only person who suggested that Franklin try to run for president.

At that time, even though he was already the governor of New York and had made a lot of money due to the economic crisis, deep down in his heart, Franklin still did not dare, or did not believe that he really had the strength to compete for the highest throne.

No matter what, he is a disabled person with crippled legs.

Do the American people really want a cripple to lead them?

And his competitor is Hoover, who has always had high popularity and reputation.

During those years in power, Hoover eliminated dissidents, expanded his political circle, and naturally opposed his faction. It can be said that after Hoover was in power for a few years, Franklin suffered a few years.

He had no idea how he could win.

However, Ye Luo fully supported him and told him that opportunities would always come, and he was definitely the most likely one!

Over the past four years, Franklin has worked hard to achieve this ultimate goal.

What was originally hopeless, as the economic crisis swept the world, the United States fell into a long period of the Great Depression. However, the two major consortiums, Yip's Investment and Livermore Group, were prosperous and supported him behind the scenes. In addition, Hui Xin became the third A biracial congresswoman.

Everything is becoming possible.

In November 1932, Franklin officially ran for office as the Democratic presidential candidate and proposed a program of implementing the "New Deal" and revitalizing the economy.

Political opponents often attacked him for his disability, which he had to struggle with throughout his life, but he was always able to turn it into an advantage with his outstanding political achievements, excellent eloquence and abundant energy.

When he entered the election for the first time, he told people in his speech: "A governor is not necessarily an acrobat. We did not elect him because he can do a front roll or a back roll. He does mental work and finds ways to benefit the people."

Relying on such perseverance and optimism, coupled with the support of the consortium behind it, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression. Unemployment, bankruptcy, closures, and plummeting were everywhere. The people urgently needed a leader who could lead them out of the predicament.

Obviously, Hoover could no longer be that person.

Not long ago, Franklin finally officially defeated Hoover and won the election!

This will go down in history.

In a few days, it would be his inauguration day. When he heard that Ye Luo had arrived, Franklin immediately summoned everyone to hold a private banquet.

"Yeah, I felt like I was dreaming. The night before the election, I didn't even think I could defeat Hoover."

Franklin was filled with emotion, rocked the wheelchair and came to Ye Luo, and said sincerely,

"You are the biggest contributor to my being able to get to where I am today, Ye!"

"Haha, I just gave the right advice at the right time." Ye Luo smiled and did not take any credit.

He doesn't care about these political changes. All he has to do is use these turbulences to make Ye's investment develop better.

After World War II, the real devil and enemy was the Jewish nation.

He must seize the time to develop Ye's Investment to ensure that it can survive various shocks in the future.

These Jews are the real bad breed. They will harm anyone who helps them. Then, through more than a hundred years of layout, they have cannibalized the economic and political affairs of the United States and turned the upper class into their back garden.

This nation should not continue to exist.

"By the way, I heard that Mao Xiong's first five-year plan has ended, and it seems to have achieved unprecedented success. The number of workers nationwide has doubled, and the national income has also doubled. Is it really that powerful?"

"Mao Xiong's good luck is the key factor." Ye Luo said with a smile, "The second year of the plan happened to encounter the economic crisis. European and American countries were deeply affected by the economic crisis, and capital, technology and talents began to be transferred to Mao Xiong in large quantities. A way out, this is the key to their rise.”

“For example, the Magnitogorsk Steel Plant was modeled on the Gerry Plant of the U.S. Steel Company. After I acquired U.S. Steel, some people were dissatisfied with the Chinese management of the company and went to Mao Xiong.

Their largest Dnieper River hydropower station in the country also introduced advanced American technology and hired technical personnel to complete it.

The Gorky Automobile Plant under construction was built with the help of Ford. There are countless examples of this. Even though we swallowed up most of the technology and industry, a lot of it still flowed out. "

"That's true." Old Joseph nodded. "If the two consortiums, Morgan and Rockefeller, hadn't stopped us, maybe we could have swallowed up even more industries."

"It's not a good thing to eat too much and not be able to digest it." Ye Luo is very open-minded about this. "The top priority is to improve the industry in our hands as soon as possible through Franklin's appointment."

Although their group companies have continued to expand over the past four years, in fact, each one of them is losing money.

The economic crisis is no joke. When the overall industry is in decline, even Ye's Investment is unable to make ends meet.

However, with the implementation of the New Deal, Franklin will strengthen government intervention in the economic field, implement deficit finance, and vigorously develop public utilities to stimulate the economy.

These are all good projects to make money.

Of course, many of these new policies were discussed by everyone.

"Haha, of course. There is a saying in your Chinese country, 'A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring.' I will never forget your help to me, Ye." Franklin replied with a smile.

Ye Luo thought to himself, of course I want you to give back to me, otherwise why would I help you so wholeheartedly?

Is it really to help the United States develop its economy?

Franklin was in high spirits at this time, and he didn't know that he had done something that would be regretted by the entire United States in the future.

He brought in the oriental dragon of Ye's investment, which was like luring the wolf into the house!

Everyone drank for a while, and Huixin, a woman, left first. Franklin, who was slightly tipsy, took Ye Luo to the second floor, where the most popular girl in Hollywood was arranged -

Greta Garbo.

In fact, as early as 1929, the 24-year-old Garbo was made into a puff by Ye Luo.

Now that four years have passed, she has become more and more mature, from a young girl to a mature woman, with great charm.

Garbo was also accompanied by her best friend Bennett.

Both of them relied on the resources of Yip's Film Company to fly up branches and become phoenixes, becoming well-known female stars in Hollywood.

Garbo, in particular, has been nominated for Oscars several times for her roles in "Anna Christie" in 1930 and this year's "Queen of Sweden".

Her most glorious period was when she filmed "La Traviata" and "Anna Karenina", winning two Oscars. However, both films were moved to this year at Yello's request.

This way she can achieve a Grand Slam before the age of 30.

It can be regarded as another kind of "helping" Ye Luo gave her. (End of chapter)
