Chapter 28 Ben's Choice

"Joanna, maybe we should have a child." Thinking of Li Zitao's promise and thinking of the child, Ben's heart suddenly became hot.

Why did he reject Li Zitao's proposal? Even if everything he predicted happened and the stock market crashed, it wasn't his fault.

As a manager who has been engaged in stock trading for a long time, he knows very well how crazy and greedy stockholders in the entire United States are now.

Not to mention an unknown little guy like him, even if a big guy like Morgan Jr. stood up and said that the stock price would fluctuate, all he could do was to advance the disaster.

This is a torrent of disaster brought about by the huge inertia of the market and capital expansion, and no one can reverse its emergence.

The entire United States has incredible confidence in the stock market, believing that the bull market will continue, just like the United States that is burying its head in hyperactivity.

So he doesn't need to be burdened at all, and he doesn't need to feel guilty. If there is any calculation, he can only be regarded as a lucky speculator.

Instead of letting that money evaporate in the stock market, why not use him to improve his life, Ben asked himself.

It took only 2 seconds for these thoughts to flash through Ben's mind. When he came back to his senses, Joanna was still in a daze.

She thought that her husband had been stimulated by some kind, otherwise, how could she mention such a weird idea of ​​wanting a child in such a dangerous environment?

"Ben, are you okay?" Joanna pressed her head to her chest, soothing her husband's 'fragile' heart.

"Honey, I'm fine, there's never been a better time than now." Ben stood up excitedly, and under Joanna's surprised look, he shouted to the door: "Hey, I want to be alone with Mr. Li talk."

When the two met again, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. Li Zitao rushed to the club from District 22 again, and the venue for the meeting became his office.

Although Li Zitao seldom comes here, the largest room is still reserved as his office.

It's just that every time he sees the big round bed placed in the center of the room, he will think of the proverb, "If you have something to do, you should be a secretary, and if you have nothing to do, be a secretary"~~

"Mr. Li, can you talk about your prediction in detail?" Sitting on the round leather sofa, Ben raised his glass, and he drank the top brandy from the Ganba region of country F in one gulp.

"Of course." Li Zitao was also happy to see Ben's somewhat excited performance.

"The Dow Jones Index fell by more than 80%..." Li Zitao lost his gaze and fell into memory. He just finished his first sentence when he was interrupted by a violent cough.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Ben put his hand on his throat, and waved to Li Zitao, who was about to step forward, and he recovered after a long while panting heavily.

"Li, do you know what you're talking about?" Ben was so frightened that he didn't even call 'Sir', but asked by his first name.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. Don't tell me you forgot what I said during the day." Li Zitao showed a sneer, raised his right hand, and formed an 'o' shape with his mouth.

"Boom!" As his raised right hand fell, Ben's gaze became dull again.

The Dow Jones Index fell by more than 80%, oh my god! Is God going to abandon America?

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." If you are not really in this era, you will definitely not be able to understand the mood at this moment.

If Li Zitao's prediction is true, what does it mean?

It means that the entire financial system of the United States and even the whole world will be brutally baptized like a 12-level hurricane, and it means that there are millions of bankrupts.

Bodies will fall like dust from the top of the building one by one, banks will go bankrupt, order will be chaotic, factories will close one after another, and refugees will occupy every city and every street.

People would come out of their homes,

Like a wandering ghost, looking for any chance to survive.

"Ben, can you imagine the wealth it represents?" Li Zitao's voice was like a devil, arousing the greed and desire for wealth deep in Ben's heart.

"...Gudong, if what you said is true, then the wealth we will get is...hundreds of millions." Ben's voice was as sharp as a villain's witch in a movie.

And he also changed the previous "you," to "we." '

"And you can get it." Li Zitao watched his performance with satisfaction.

"Millions? Millions of dollars?" Ben swallowed again involuntarily.

"That's right, you can live a wealthy life, go to various high-end places, everyone will compliment you and give you awe, maybe you can buy another Rolls."

Royce, in this era, is already the endorsement of high-end luxury cars. People are used to calling it "Royce", and "Rolls" also represents a rich life.

Founded in Country Y, Rolls-Royce, founded by Charlie Rolls and Henry Royce, was hailed as 'the best car in the world' shortly after the birth of the first Silver Ghost. '

"Rouse!" Ben's voice was full of longing.

"Mr. Li, I think we need more manpower...and a more thorough plan." The greed in his eyes disappeared instantly, and Ben stood up from the sofa, as if he had turned back into the calm and wise financial manager.

"Of course, that's exactly why I need you." Li Zitao stepped forward with the bottle in hand, filled his glass with wine, raised his glass and laughed, "cheers."

"Cheers." Putting down his wine glass, Ben's brain was spinning rapidly, "We need the most accurate information, an informant from the exchange, 1 to 2 statisticians, tax and legal lawyers, and... this Everything needs to be kept as confidential as possible.”

"I need to increase the remuneration, 1% can't satisfy such a team." Ben looked at Li Zitao without being humble, and raised his own request.

"It depends on your performance, Ben." Li Zitao didn't refuse. If he can build himself a prototype of a "think tank" and find outstanding talents, Li Zitao doesn't mind giving him greater benefits.

"Before September, I will bring the people in need to you, BOSS." When he said BOSS, Ben's nerves completely relaxed.

From now on, he will be on the same ship as Li Zitao. Li Zitao is the captain of the sailing ship that is about to set sail. As for his position.

Ben is very clear in his heart, it depends on his next performance.

"Welcome to the Get Rich Overnight Plan." Ben couldn't help but smile wryly at the embarrassingly straightforward code name, but there was also a hot flame brewing in his heart.

After the discussion between the two was over, Li Zitao said that he could take his wife home, and for his safety, he still needed some protection.

Ben didn't refuse, and only regarded this as the new boss's emphasis on himself.

With the addition of Ben, Li Zitao felt a little more peaceful in his heart, and stayed on the training ground every day, mingling with his subordinates and supervising their training.

It's just that every few days, I will get news about Ben's whereabouts. Since the last time we parted, he has been traveling between cities every day.

Either looking for certain people, or looking for certain news, and paying attention to changes in the stock market all the time.

As for the few stocks that belong to Li Zitao that he is in charge of, Ben also pays close attention to them all the time. For him, it is just a incidental thing in the process of paying attention to the market.

On July 31, the phone rang again. After Li Zitao put down the phone, he went to the whole barracks under construction that night.

A total of 10 barracks were built, arranged in a trapezoidal manner on the south side of the training ground. The houses there had been demolished, and Li Zitao gave each household a compensation of US$100 per mu of land.

The market price of land here is 35 US dollars per mu, which makes every family who has been demolished feel satisfied.

With the help of their neighbors, they were able to rebuild a new house on new land and leave a small savings for nothing more than some food.

The United States in this era is in the prosperous stage of transforming public land into privatized land. With the help of William Dever, everything is as simple as that.

"It won't be long before we need a bigger site." Looking at the already crowded place, Li Zitao said with some emotion.

"Boss, the construction of the last barracks can be completed in two days." Huang Yifang took Li Zitao to visit the barracks.

Each barracks can accommodate 50 people at the same time, with side-by-side rows of beds, clean and brand-new bedding, and a small cabinet next to each bed for personal belongings.

In addition, between the 10 barracks, there are public bathing rooms and public toilets. In order to prevent troubles from the women's associations, women's shower rooms and women's toilets were specially built.

Don't underestimate the Women's Association at this time, it is very troublesome to be targeted by them, especially those old women who have nothing to do and only want to make trouble all day long.

However, it is their efforts that will change the social status of women, which is undeniable.

"They will arrive tomorrow. There are a total of 491 people. Damn it, our team of chefs should be expanded, and there is also a kitchen." Li Zitao said a little annoyed.

"I will arrange that some of the nearby compatriots work in restaurants, and I will ask them if they would like to change jobs." Huang Fangfang began to record in his notebook again.

After these veterans joined, the number of S.H.I.E.L.D. special guards reached an astonishing 1,500, which surprised even Li Zitao.

If it weren't for the care of William Dever, maybe he would have been thrown into prison long ago.

However, after Wang Dagou conducted a "gentle" and "unconventional" special training for those bastards who belonged to the Capone Group.

These bastards who used to do all kinds of crimes have become the most law-abiding citizens in Chicago, maintaining the law and order of the city every night.

This is what William Dever is happy to see. After the Capone Group was taken over, there was chaos for half a month, but in the following half a month, the law and order in the entire Chicago improved rapidly like a rocket.

The Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times all reported to varying degrees, and even the HSD Post mentioned that the law and order in Chicago is changing, and people no longer have to worry about bullets and mafia.

William Dever's approval rate has gone from 31% at the beginning, to 65% later, and now to 83%. Re-election is inevitable.
