Although I don't understand why Adel suddenly acted so tough, and the tone of his voice seemed to be so impatient, it didn't prevent Bella from cooperating in the shortest possible time.

"But...... You know, Adrati is my friend, and my best friend," Bella said, with some grievances.

"It's very embarrassing for you to do this, Bella," Adel was very satisfied with Bella's performance, he frowned, looked at Adratie who was sitting on the sofa with a confused face, was silent for a while, and said, "Well, I know a good stockbroking company, and the brokers there are very experienced......"

"But, Mr. Adele, I trust you most now, and of course, Bella, I'm not very interested in other agents," Adelati interjected.

"Then there's only one last option," Adel said with a shrug, "Bella, you can take it while it's still too late...... Ade......"

"Adrati," Bella said quickly.

"Ah, yes, take Miss Adrati to the stock exchange and open another $5,000 account in your name," Adair said quickly, "Miss Adrati, we only accept cash or cheques for investment, how are you going to pay for it?"

"Cash," Adrati felt inexplicably nervous, vaguely feeling that there was a very important opportunity for her, and this opportunity seemed to be about to slip out of her hands, "but ......"

"Very good, that's cash," Adair waved his hand and walked in the direction of the door, saying to Bella as he went, "Five thousand dollars in cash, so be it." ”

After saying this, he had already arrived at the door, and without saying goodbye to the two women, he just pushed the door and walked out.

"This ...... Mr. Adel seems to be very difficult to speak," said Adrati, who closed his slightly open mouth as the door slowly closed.

"This is also normal," Bella sighed and said, "You may not know, he is very busy these days, and there are always some inexplicable people who come to him and want to invest in him, in fact, not to be able to make money with his help." ”

"I don't understand, isn't it a good thing to invest more?" said Adrati, gesturing.

"Sometimes it's not a good thing," Bella said, "because that means dealing with more people, and Adel is clearly not the kind of person who likes to deal with more people." ”

"And what about my investment?" said Adrati, spreading her hands, "Five thousand dollars, that's not a satisfactory answer, you know, according to my plan, it's going to invest...... $100,000. ”

"But you said $50,000, Adrati," Bella said in surprise.

"Really?" said Adrati, tilting her head, as if trying to remember.

"Yes, I remember it very well," Bella said, nodding.

"You may have misheard, of course, I may have said it wrong," Adrati firmly refused to admit it, she shook her head and said, "It's $100,000, we said okay, Bella, you must help me." ”

"But how can I help you? You can see, Adelle's attitude is very resolute," Bella said embarrassedly, but in her heart she was happy, who would have thought that Adel just went downstairs and said a few words, and the stingy Italian hillbilly in front of her changed her mind, and she became more proactive.

"You'll always have a way, won't you?" said Adrati, a little jealously, "for example, blowing the wind on his pillow or something." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just friends with him," Bella said with a blush.

"Come on, Bella, I'm not blind," Adelati said as she reached for her purse and stood up on her knees, "Anyway, you must help me with this, and now, let's go to the stock exchange, and I can transfer the money directly to you from the account." ”

Not knowing what had been said or decided between Bella and Adrati, Adel got out of Bella's residence and got straight into a black Ford cab - now, Adel's pockets were no longer empty, and he had a basis for spending.

The taxi driver, a young man in his 20s with a tattoo on the back of his hand, was not a good guy at first glance, and when he heard that Adel was going to the Hell's Kitchen dock, the young man began to gush about Adele's entertainment in Hell's Kitchen.

At that time, more than half of New York's taxi drivers were gangsters, working as taxi drivers and pimps. Just a few years ago, it was these taxi drivers from various gangs who staged a massive strike that killed two policemen and eventually forced Harry Allen, the owner of the largest taxi company, to raise his salary, and as a result, the company went bankrupt the year before.

Adair was indifferent to the driver's introduction, he was not interested in going to those places now, even when there was a need, he had no shortage of places to solve it, and don't forget, Reuben was the most famous pimp in Hell's Kitchen.

After getting off the bus at West 45th Street and paying the driver, Adair picked up some of today's newspaper from the newsstand on the side of the road, and walked in the direction of the dock while browsing casually.

Today's newspapers seem to be full of moisture, and there is not much news worth paying attention to, but of course, if there are some talking points that are worth having an after-dinner conversation for ordinary citizens, such as John Lascob's decision to hold a birthday party at Club 21, Mayor Jimmy Walker will be invited, or the New York City Hall's plan to build a railroad in New York to replace the railroad tracks on the ground; Lloyd will be on Broadway again, starring in a play at the Metropolitan Theatre, and so on.

News like this is not nutritious in the eyes of Adair, because for him, these news are useless, and the only one of them that has anything to do with finance is probably Lascomb, the rich man who will build the Empire State Building next year, just last year because of the collapse with Alferred Sloan, and left GM in a fit of anger, and is currently an invisible person on Wall Street, he just has a lot of money, nothing worth paying attention to.

Still, when he flipped to section 2 of the HSD Post, he found some useful information. In this message, the conflict between the current President Herbert Hoover and Congress is involved, and their main conflict is focused on the adjustment of tariffs.

Last month, President Hoover asked Congress to make rules to reduce tariff rates, but just yesterday, Congress made a final resolution in which they not only vetoed Hoover's proposal, but also accepted Senator Reed Smoot of Utah to raise tariff rates. In the new bill, known as the Smoot-Hawley Act, the U.S. government will raise tariff rates on 2,000 imported goods, including agricultural products, in hopes of increasing the market share of domestic companies.

When he saw the name of this bill, Adel felt a sense of urgency, yes, the world really didn't have much time left for him to develop, in his previous life, this bill had been regarded as a catalyst for the Great Depression in the United States. Because it was the promulgation and implementation of this bill that triggered the tariff trade war between the United States and the world, which caused the United States to lose almost all of its overseas markets.

There are two months to go at most, and every time he thinks about this, he has a sense of impatience that he must accumulate enough capital in these two months to win the best foundation for development when the Great Depression comes.

Of course, some people may say that it doesn't matter even if the New York stock market crashes, after all, you can still short, but in Adele's view, shorting the New York stock market can only be done once at most, and it must be done in the best state and with the most abundant capital, and stop immediately after doing it, and never make a second move.

The reason is simple: shorting the stock market during the Great Depression was not a pleasant thing for Americans, and in the face of the wailing everywhere, whoever made this money would have to carry a heavy burden, and he would be accused by all Americans of being a thief who made a fortune, and thus was spurned by everyone.

Don't mention Riffie Moore, that guy is a skunk in New York right now, and although there are countless people willing to lend him money, no one wants to be friends with him in public, and besides, look at what happens to him. After the glory of 1929, the following year, he went downhill in his career, but after three or four years, he had to file for bankruptcy, and finally, he even had to end his life of failure with a bullet.

People only see Riffey Moore's heroic posture in the short market, invincible, but they don't think about why he fell into such a miserable situation, why? The reason is simple, no matter how fucked up the world is, how dark and obscure the relationship between people is, if a person wants to achieve something, he still has to have a good reputation after all. A person who does not have a good reputation, but is very high-profile, often ends up not much better.

Adair sees these potential rules very clearly, so he also has his own rules of doing things, and the reason why he is impatient to accumulate capital is to make a big profit at a time at the moment when the stock market crash comes, and then quietly stop, at least not to be targeted.

Finally returning to the docks in the Hell's Kitchen area, this time, Adel didn't go straight back to Reuben's residence, he circled around the docks by himself, filtering his plan through his mind. He believes that in the next few days, the funds he can control will increase rapidly, and perhaps the time is ripe to apply for the establishment of a stockbroking company.
