Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

There are a total of five players in the VIP box. In addition to Marcus Goldman II, there is also a member of the aristocracy from the United Kingdom, a rich man from France, a German, and a man who calls himself Mohan.

The Ottomans of Mode.

 The Englishman who calls himself William and the Frenchman who calls himself Henry must have known each other for a long time. The two people have been at odds with each other since they sat down.

 Mark, a German, is taciturn and has said few words since he sat down.

Mohammed lost the most. He was not very lucky today. Most of the 150,000 pounds won by Marcus Goldman II came from Mohammed.

“No more playing, luck is not on my side today——” Henry lost a lot, so he got up to find some other fun.

“That’s right, if we keep playing, someone might even lose his underwear——” William was very proud, he won a lot today.

“Don’t be arrogant William, you just have better luck today, I will teach you a lesson another day.” Henry still has some self-control, and will stop when he wins or loses to a certain level.

 “Ha, there’s no need to change the day, I’m right here, how about it, do you dare?” William was lucky today and won a lot in front of him.

"Huh——" Before Henry could speak, Mark suddenly added quietly: "I can lend it to you if I don't have any money——"

This remark is not very harmful but extremely insulting. Considering the current relationship between the Germans and the French, it is simply a shame and a great insult.

“Do you want to play or not? If you want to play, sit down. If you don’t want to play, please leave.” Mohammed also wanted to rewrite the story.

 “Yes, don’t affect our mood——” Marcus Goldman II is in the limelight, and he wants to continue.

 “Shut up, Yankee!” Henry was quite restrained towards William, but was not polite towards Marcus Goldman II.

In Europe today, the image of Americans is still that of a nouveau riche with rude behavior. They don't pay attention to their image in public and don't care whether it causes trouble to others. There are still signs "Americans are prohibited" hanging at the door of many restaurants in Paris.

"Enter" sign.

 Zooming into the national level, after the start of the "Dawes Plan", the United States was the most active in investing in Germany, which made the French love and hate it.

 What I love is that the more the United States invests in Germany, the greater the likelihood that Germany will repay it on time.

 Hate is very simple. Once Germany regains its strength, France will be the most dangerous.

 Marcus Goldman II knew that the French did not like Americans, but the term "Yankee" was also very insulting, and Marcus Goldman II's face immediately turned red.

 Not shy, but angry.

 “Wait a minute, you all can clean up my butt——” Henry sat down again and signed a check, and the hotel quickly sent the money back.

  The situation in the next poker game changed suddenly, and luck returned to Henry's side this time. Marcus Goldman II slowly lost all the money he won in the first half, and he also lost 200,000.

What’s even more disgusting is that every time Henry raises, he will laugh at Marcus Goldman II.

 “How is it? Do you still dare to add it?”

“Ji Yang, weren’t you very arrogant just now? Now I’ll give you a chance.”

 “Ha, thank you for your patronage——”

 Marcus Goldman II lost more and more under Henry's taunts. By the time Marcus Goldman II noticed this, he had lost a full $1.7 million.

 Such money is certainly not Marcus Goldman II’s own, but funds raised by Goldman Sachs from the trust market.

Until this point, Marcus Goldmann II still didn’t pay much attention.

 For Goldman Sachs, which has a market value of hundreds of millions, although US$1.7 million is not a small number, it is not a disaster.

But what Marcus Goldman II didn’t expect was that the news spread throughout New York in just three days, and by this time Goldman Sachs’ stock market value had already begun to decline significantly.

 1.7 million U.S. dollars is not much, but the heirs of Goldman Sachs used their clients' money to spend a lot of money at the Dupero Custer Dunes Hotel, which seriously affected investors' confidence in Goldman Sachs.

 Goldman Sachs' business has now shifted from commercial paper trading to commercial investments.

To put it bluntly, Goldman Sachs’ money is not Goldman Sachs’s own, but the investors’ money. When investors lack confidence in Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs’ trust business plummets.

At this time, Marcellus finally took action and significantly lowered the credit evaluation of Goldman Sachs, lowering Goldman Sachs' credit rating from 3A to B-. For a time, investors went to Goldman Sachs one after another, hoping to get their money back. This situation finally came to an end.

Affect Goldman Sachs' stock price.

 At this time, the U.S. stock market did not yet have a circuit breaker mechanism. In just three days, the value of Goldman Sachs' stock dropped from its peak of US$105 to US$75, a drop of more than one-third, and it was still falling rapidly.

Goldman Sachs was also caught off guard by the scandal. Although Goldman Sachs immediately explained and tried to restore market confidence, it was too late. Two weeks later, Goldman Sachs' stock price dropped to only $1.50, making it a junk stock that everyone avoided.

, by this time Goldman Sachs had lost 92% of its original shares.

 From the highest US$105 to the lowest US$1.5, it takes no more than a month.

In just one month, a prosperous investment company was wiped out, decades of accumulation were destroyed, and the Goldman Sachs family filed for bankruptcy on March 14.

 March 14th is also the wedding day of Arthur and Roya.

 The wedding of Arthur and Roya was held at the Pretoria Cathedral opposite the Palace of Justice. About a thousand guests attended the wedding of Arthur and Roya.

Roark was of course present, but not in the name of Arthur's father, but in the name of the Marquis of Nyasaland.

 Don’t forget that Arthur is a Baron of Cyprus in the British Empire, so it is only appropriate for Rock, the Marquis of Nyasaland, to preside over the wedding of Arthur and Roya.

Of course, Rock would not treat his eldest son badly. The gift he prepared for Arthur and Luo Ya was 5% of the shares of Adan Company. According to the market value of Adan Company in London on March 14, 5%

Probably £75 million.

  Don’t doubt that Adan Company, which owns Port Elizabeth, is worth so much. This is even if Adan Company has not announced the actual oil reserves of Port Elizabeth. Otherwise, Adan Company’s market value will soar further.

  In order to ensure absolute control over his company, Rock once insisted on not allowing his company to be listed in the UK.

Now this worry still exists. Although Adan Company is also listed in the UK, there is no stock circulation in the market. Everyone knows that Adan Company has unlimited potential, and no one is willing to sell its Adan Company shares. Roque himself is now

It only holds 60% of the shares of Adan Company, and the other parts are divided up by British dignitaries.

The British royal family also holds a part of the shares of Adan Company, otherwise the UK would not allow Adan Company to monopolize Port Elizabeth.

What makes Rock a little embarrassed is that Phyllis and the children also attended the wedding of Arthur and Roya. Phyllis was not angry that Rock gave Arthur 5% of the shares of Adan Company.

Roark is so generous to Arthur, and he is even less stingy to Gavin and Alvin.

 Rock has no time to pay attention to Phyllis's mood. After Arthur and Roya's wedding, Rock will leave southern Africa for England. Winston has reminded Rock many times that he cannot delay it any longer.

That's right, Winston did not return to London. He simply couldn't care less about southern Africa. He did not stay in Pretoria during this period, but traveled almost all over southern Africa, even to Madagascar, which was still at war.

Went there. Although Winston was traveling in name, Rock didn't think so.

Although Winston is in an unprecedented low period, how can such a person be so attached to the mountains and rivers? Every move he makes must have a clear purpose. I am afraid that traveling is a lie, and obtaining more first-hand information is true.

“Why not annex Madagascar just like the Kingdom of Mozambique?” When Arthur and Roya exchanged rings, Winston was still chattering in Rock’s ear.

Rock and Winston were both in the first row. Ada was already in tears with excitement on the stage, and Stoudemire's eyes were red. Like Rock, they were the tools of Arthur and Roya's wedding.

Arthur and Roya are the protagonists of this wedding.

 “It’s not time yet——” Roque was not in a hurry. Madagascar would not run away anyway, and it could annex it at any time if it wanted. Roque did not want to give the French too much stimulation.

 A week ago, France finally reached a peace agreement with Madagascar. What it didn’t get on the battlefield, it couldn’t get at the negotiation table either.

 France recognizes the complete independence of Madagascar for the third time, and it is probably the last time. If France wants to return to Madagascar in the future, the Southern African Union can directly intervene.

 Madagascar still made some concessions, promising to provide France with the raw materials needed for industry and various Madagascar specialties at the best prices.

This promise is basically meaningless. There is neither a clear price bottom line nor an annual transaction amount. It basically means that Madagascar can sell as much as it wants.

The reason why Briand couldn't wait to sign the peace agreement was because France was really unable to afford a war with no future.

 The investigation on the "France" has been concluded, and the accident was determined to have hit the rocks and sank.

 Reunion's fleet consumes a large amount of supplies every day. The French government is stretched thin and cannot afford it. If Germany had not started paying war compensation, the French government might also go bankrupt.

Looking at it this way, France would also like to thank the United States and the United Kingdom. If it were not for the crazy investment in Germany by the American and British consortium, Germany would not have the money to compensate the French.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister sent me another telegram, hoping that you would go to London as soon as possible. We have delayed it for too long. You should have gone to London a month ago-" Winston was very anxious.

As our understanding of Africa increases, so do our inner worries.

 Strong branches and weak trunks are the best way to describe the British Empire now.
