Chapter 34: The Feast Begins
"Okay, Boss, I'll call now." Hearing that Paul over there hung up the phone directly, Li Zitao couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Bastard, you're worthless." '
Perhaps the time has come, and the well-accumulated S.H.I.E.L.D. finally ushered in its first business of its own.
The other party is from Elpa S County in Texas, which is next to Juarez in Mexico, a city on the border between the two countries, separated by the Rio Grande.
Although half a century has passed since the Mexican-American War, the hatred among ethnic groups is still difficult to eliminate, especially in this kind of city across the river.
Of course, there are more envy, jealousy, and hatred in it. In the past, we belonged to Mexico, and we were as close as brothers, and we all lived the same.
Look at the current El Paso and Juarez, one is thriving, developing and changing every month, but Juarez is still as dull as it used to be, unchanged for a hundred years.
So expect Mexicans to sneak across the border into El Paso.
Those who choose to live an honest life are okay, but more are pink-eyed patients who want revenge and make all kinds of troubles.
This made the hatred between the two deeper and deeper. You must know that 53% of the people living in Elpa County are Mexicans, but now they have become enemies with their fellow villagers.
And the situation of this guest is not complicated. Because of business reasons, he always has to go back and forth between El Paso and Mexico, and he thinks there will be dangers in terms of security.
$15 per day, the other party hired 4 bodyguards at a time, and the time limit was 1 month, so it was considered a probationary period!
When the other party came to choose, they asked for the configuration of 2 Hua and 2 Bai, which made Li Zitao a little surprised and excited.
"The Chinese are very honest, willing to endure hardships, and worthy of trust." But after hearing such an evaluation from the other party, Li Zitao didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
To be honest, when did a thousand-year-old country, a great country with a long history, become a harmless "little white rabbit" in the eyes of Westerners, ready to be slaughtered.
"I hate honest people." Li Zitao gritted his teeth and muttered.
Opening the latest Washington Post, Li Zitao saw a familiar face, the Minister of Finance he had met at the Washington Hotel.
"The National Treasurer, Andrew Mellon, attended an event this morning, and he made remarks about the national economy,
Promise in public: there is no cause for concern now, and the upsurge of prosperity will continue, as the rising..."
Seeing this, Li Zitao didn't bother to look any further: Son, wait until you die!
Waiting until next month, the Minister of Finance's remarks today will draw a successful conclusion to his political career, 'Go home and die in peace! There is no need to rescue it anymore. '
At the moment in the luxurious office of the club, a discussion is going on intensely.
"Ben, I still have some doubts about what the boss said." Jonny, a financial manager, questioned.
"Since 1927, how many people have questioned the madness of the stock market? Those stock analysts? Bankers?
Do they really know what a stock is? But looking at it now, the stock market has been climbing and continues to this day. "
"Johnny, don't forget the warning from McGrady's investment last year, they are not laymen." Ben said with a serious face.
Moody's Investors Service, a well-known bond rating agency, started credit ratings for public utility and industrial bonds in 1913 after it initiated credit ratings for railway bonds in 1909, and its influence is growing day by day.
Moody's has a large number of statisticians and analysts, certainly not laymen.
"But this year is almost over. Yes, your data and information are worrying, but I still have some doubts about the complete collapse of the market." Jonny insisted.
"Look at the stock price of GM, $120.5, and then look at the stock price of USS (American Steel),
Yesterday's opening price was $110.5, what about now? 112 dollars. "
"Then what does it mean?" Hearing what Ben said, Jonny retorted: "Doesn't this mean that everything is normal?"
"No, it's not normal at all. Investors on Wall Street believe that production is unsalable and economic weakness is temporary. The madness of stockholders will keep the stock market going up. But if you carefully analyze the ratio of upswing this year , you will find that it is shrinking, do you remember last month, the share price of USS climbed by a ratio?"
Hearing Ben's analysis, Jonny's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly flipped through the documents on the table. After a while, he leaned back in his chair in a daze, and murmured, "It's only 30%, 30%."
"That's right, people are too crazy, but in such a crazy environment, the climbing ratio has dropped one after another, what does that mean?" Ben's words made the room quiet.
Of course they understand what this means. Simply put, people are able to invest less and less money in the stock market.
"And don't forget, who is campaigning," Mahathir said suddenly.
"You mean Herbert Hoover?" Johnny asked.
"That's right, remember when Hoover said he was going to run, and the stock market was like a long straight line, straight up?
Judging from the current situation, his election is very likely. After all, in terms of the number of votes, he has always maintained the lead, but why is this happening? "
Herbert Hoover, who served as Secretary of Commerce for 8 years, is believed to have brought the United States 8 consecutive years of strides forward and economic prosperity. This kind of confidence is terrible.
After a little silence, Mahathir sighed: "Winter is coming, people have no money."
Overcapacity, unsalable products, weak overall economy, and a series of actions taken by the Federal Reserve last year have caused heavy losses to a large number of small investors.
The terrible aftermath of these combined factors has finally exploded, and the Fed's predictions are about to come true, which it has always feared.
Thinking of this, everyone is a little excited. Doesn't this mean that Li Zitao's speculation and Ben's analysis are correct?
And they will take away a huge amount of benefits from this feast, which is enough to make anyone jealous.
"Stockbrokers are still lending like crazy." The words of the statistician Graun became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Where's the backing from Citibank?" Johnny struggled.
A gleam flashed in Ben's eyes, "It's precisely because even Citibank couldn't help jumping out, this collapse...is set."
"I got the news that JP. Morgan has been quietly dumping." With the final conclusion, Jonny gave up his point of view, waiting for the feast and disaster to come at the same time.
On September 5, the Dow Jones index reached a high of 386 points, and the slogan of "welcoming the next four crazy years" resounded throughout the United States.
On the same day, Fell, a famous economist, was interviewed and made it clear that the U.S. stock market would never crash, and the people were all excited.
On September 8, the opening price of the stock of American Radio Corporation was US$120.5, and the closing price was US$115. There was a small-scale sell-off in the stock market.
On September 10, with 5.57 million US dollars, the capital belonging to Li Zitao entered the market and went all out to short. The war began.
"Boss, you have turned 20...21 times, my eyes are going to blur." George said a little dizzy.
Since 5 days ago, his new boss, a super pervert from the mysterious ancient oriental country, has become irritable and restless like an elusive old woman.
Every day when they came to the training ground, they could see him spinning around.
When they finished warming up and started training, he would sit by the court in a daze until the end of training in the evening, sometimes not even eating during this period.
It's already the fifth day, and everyone has begun to get used to the boss's new routine. Some people even speculate whether the boss has entered the so-called bottleneck period?
As Chief Instructor Jack Wang said, "Every expert will have a bottleneck period. When entering this stage, people will become dazed and restless.
It seems to be doing nothing every day, but it is actually studying the world. Once you realize the Tao, you can soar in the daytime. "
Although most of them don't understand well, they still remember the key 'bottleneck period. '
If Li Zitao knew that his current image is "an idiot who has entered menopause," I'm afraid there will be another violent 1V1000 contest.
"Hey, entangled!" Li Zitao sighed melancholy.
Now all of his net worth is in the stock market. Speaking of which, even if the more than 5 million dollars are gone, he still has a way to rise again.
But Li Zitao himself didn't know how long it would take to spend energy and time.
Hundreds of millions of dollars, that is hundreds of millions of dollars!
In the era of his previous life, the current 100 million dollars is equal to the 56 billion dollars at that time, and it may be more.
And the benefit he may obtain now is hundreds of billions of dollars.
Is it irritating? Surprised or not?
But there is a premise for all of this, that is, the Great Depression will come as scheduled, and this is the Water Blue Planet, not the Earth.
Although he has seen Nucky Johnson, William Dever, and Dwight David Eisenhower so far, he is still afraid!
In this situation, you can tell how Li Zitao calmed down. He didn't look like a psychopath, catching people without sleep, and talking endlessly. He felt that he was calm enough.
"No, I have to go to New York." Li Zitao turned and went back to the room, picked up his clothes and was ready to go out.
Jingle Bell……
When the phone rang, Li Zitao paused before stepping forward, turned around and picked up the phone hastily.
"BOSS, it's here, it's really here, hahaha..." Ben's crazy voice came from the phone, and at the same time he could hear some noisy conversations on the other side.
"Wait for me." After hanging up the phone, Li Zitao rushed directly to the club.
bang!
Pushing open the door of the office, the people inside are busy, and the floor, table, and wall are covered with various drawings with lines drawn.
Ben kept looking through the records in these drawings. The phone rang here, and then the phone rang again there, busy like a miniature version of the New York Stock Exchange.
"Are you sure about the news?...Okay, keep investing and don't move too much."
"What? Central bank Y raising interest rates? Awesome..."
"Select the 150 stocks with the highest stock price to buy, short, all short, and leverage up to 30 times... do it."
Hearing the orderly order after order, Li Zitao suddenly let go of his heart, quietly sat down on the corner sofa, and just waited for the good news.
