American Legendary Life

Chapter 361 Playboy

New York, Wall Street.

The once bustling New York Stock Exchange has now become a 'burial ground'. '

About 300 top stock managers are buried here, and the painstaking efforts of countless investors half their lives or even their entire lives.

The paradise of wealth that everyone longs for has now become a devil's hell that people fear and loathe.

But just next door to it, the "Wells Fargo Bank," with a black and gold lettering on the door, has become the favorite angel of businessmen for nearly a year.

Wells Fargo's history on Wall Street is very short, only 18 months, a year and a half.

But its existence plays a significant role in market stability.

When all walks of life continue to go bankrupt, major banks stop their business, tighten money or choose to close down, only it is still open for loan business.

Countless medium and large enterprises, get the capital and respite they need here.

Although its conditions are extremely harsh, it brings hope to people after all.

Today, entrepreneurs from all over the country are still sitting in the corridor, looking at the end of the corridor with awe and longing in their eyes.

Just behind the 3-meter-high double door made of red cedar, sits the woman who controls their destiny.

No, it is more appropriate to call her a goddess.

Her every word and deed, every decision represents the life and death, joy and sorrow of countless people.

One of these people was Moody, whose food processing plant was located in Washington State and was very famous before the Great Depression.

At that time, he lived in a 2,000-square-meter manor, a 3-storey ivory-white building, with 36 servants, countless famous cars and collectibles.

In two and a half years, he mortgaged his car and house, auctioned off all his collections, and moved his family to a small apartment of 30 square meters.

No matter how hard you try, you will inevitably come to a dead end in the end.

He waited here for 22 days, finally able to see each other, he is the first, Moody hopes to get a good news.

It's just that the waiting time today is too long. At this time in the past, the door should have been opened, and Moody should have heard the secretary call out his name.

The people in the corridor had doubts in their hearts, and there was a gloomy haze in their eyes.

"Did something happen?" Their expressions were restless, and when more than a dozen security guards appeared in the corridor, the anxiety turned into panic.

Click!

The door at the end of the corridor opened inward. Juliana was dressed in a black tailored uniform, outlining her curvy figure, and her purple high-heeled shoes were mysterious and noble.

The smooth and white feet are like translucent crystals, 'If she can save everything, I am willing to kiss her feet. ’ Moody prayed for luck in his heart.

"I'm sorry to inform you that starting today, Wells Fargo will suspend all loan-related businesses for a period of 6 to 12 months."

Amidst the dumbfounded expressions of everyone, Juliana returned to the office with heavy steps.

The corridor was filled with a deadly atmosphere, the former successful people, the enviable upper-class nobles.

Sitting on the ground with their legs limp, some people couldn't help crying. Their lives, everything about them, was over.

Moody walked out of the building in a trance, looked back at the top floor of Wells Fargo Bank, and walked towards the hotel in a daze.

They were sent down by the security guards, and Moody suddenly felt that the other party was very smart, because he had already seen several companions who were choosing a place to seek relief.

Some headed for the Chrysler Building, others for the soon-to-be-completed Empire State Building, and still others for the General Electric Building.

Moody walked forward blankly, perhaps, he should also find a suitable tall building.

...

...

"Honey, Wells Fargo is making economic headlines again." At night, newspapers with influence in North America and the world were neatly placed on the table.

With the continuous expansion of his career, Li Zitao developed a good habit of reading newspapers every day.

This is the most intuitive window to understand the market economy and financial dynamics.

Wells Fargo announced a moratorium on lending,

Previously, it was the last bank in North America to offer mortgage loans.

The report described in detail that regarding the sensation caused by this news in North America, there were also several more corpses smeared into blood foam in front of various skyscrapers in New York.

The sunshine in early spring was also isolated by the haze in the sky, adding a chill to people's already desperate mood.

Some people judged that the rich should shoulder the responsibility of saving the market, and some people revisited the old story and brought up the old account of the stock market crash.

It was more of a criticism of the government. Since President Hoover took office, his incompetence in being unable to reverse the situation has once again become the focus of criticism from major newspapers.

Among them, "Newsweek" under the Los Angeles News Corporation has the sharpest words, but it is also the most recognized by the public.

They invited a large number of economists and market experts, including former parliamentarians, and some serving officials of European countries, to have heated discussions in newspapers.

Then this matter spread to the radio stations, and the ratings of the broadcast called "Real-time Economic Forum" increased steadily.

The Los Angeles News Corporation integrated 96 percent of the newspapers and radio stations in the greater Los Angeles area, and acquired the American Radio Company.

According to the original plan, the next step will be acquisitions in important cities in North America, mainly local best-selling newspapers and radio base stations.

If newspapers and periodicals are divided into levels, such as the "Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post", and "New York Times" are the first sequence.

"Washington News", "Daily Morning Post" and so on belong to the second rank.

Other popular local newspapers distributed in various cities belong to the third series, and their main content is various adapted stories and gossip.

There are also gymnastics and love stories of the 'Yellow Boys', but in terms of local sales, sometimes even surpassing the mainstream newspapers.

The newspapers they want to buy now are these third-rate tabloids.

In Harry Chandley's office, in the locked drawer, there is a handwritten proposal.

On the surface of the plan is a rabbit's head, wearing a delicate bow tie, with the word '. '

The existence of Playboy has always been accompanied by various criticisms and judgments. From the peak to the trough, it faced bankruptcy several times in the middle, and its growth was not easy.

But no one can deny that it has become one of the symbols of American culture in the future.

Maybe you don't know anything about America, but you must have seen the pair of rabbit ears and heard the name "Playboy".

"Nearly a hundred companies in Luxembourg closed down, but compared with here, it is really lucky." Sitting on his lap, Adelaide said with lingering fear.

"If the federal government doesn't intervene, no one can restore the current situation." Li Zitao quickly scanned the important information highlighted in the newspaper, read some interesting news, and put them aside.

He won't respond to those who revisit the stock market crash, Black Tuesday, Black Thursday.

The more you explain, the more guilty you will appear, the more you will be questioned and entangled, and the influence of the incident will be expanded. The best response is to ignore it.
