Chapter Seventy-One: The Rubber Crisis End

By the end of May, the price of rubber had also climbed to eleven shillings per pound, and now all those speculating on rubber believed that the price of rubber would reach a historic high price of one pound for one pound of rubber. The price of Willis' stock also reached a high price of 1,500 taels, but there was no cash trading in Shanghai, and far-sighted people knew that this was the prelude to the imminent bursting of the bubble.

Inside the Willis building, the three of Sterry were also preparing to retreat.

"Let's wait a little bit, and I'm going to let us go in June." Stockel uttered the directives coming from within the country.

"Now that we've done everything we need to do and the money has been transferred, why don't you let us evacuate." Felix voiced his dissatisfaction, and now if people knew about the current situation of Willis's company, everyone would tear them apart, and of course he was afraid of such a situation.

"The message is that we need to cooperate with an action at home and in the United States." Stockel explained.

"We're in danger if we stay one more day now. Faced with this situation, Stokel, can't you tell the boss? ”

"Okay Felix, we're safe now, the dividends have only been paid for a short time, and there will be no problem in holding on for two months." In the face of Felix's complaints, Sterry said soothingly.

"Well, I'm in a hurry." Seeing that both of them were willing to cooperate, Felix could only agree.

After the three of them discussed, they continued to do their daily work about the company until Stolk received a telegram that said: Your nephew was born 6.12 pounds, and we plan to celebrate him tomorrow.

Stolke took the telegram in his hand and hurried to Sterry's office, intending to tell him the good news.

"Sterry, I've got the message." Stockel pushed the door and said, only to see that Zhang Agou was also in Sterry's office.

"Zhang, you can do it." Seeing that Stoicel was a little deliberately grim-faced, Sterry hurriedly sent Zhang Agou away.

"Okay boss." Zhang Agou still looks like a dog, and he greets him when he passes by Stockel. "Goodbye Mr. Stokel."

"Goodbye Zhang."

After answering Zhang, Stockel closed the door and walked in front of Sterry and whispered to him. "There was news from above, and on June 12 they released a message, let's go the next day."

"There are still 10 days to go, enough for us to prepare." Sterry said.

"Is this really going to work?" Stockel asked.

"Otherwise, why would we elevate a poor man who does not know how to read to the present height? He had enjoyed status, money, fame, and women that he couldn't have before, and it was time for him to return everything. ”

It is obvious that they are talking about Zhang Agou, who has just walked out, and a loyal and good dog leg has been sold by his owner in this way.

In the following days, the three of them each found a reason to leave, and asked Zhang Agou to watch the company's situation. This made Zhang Agou overjoyed, thinking that he was very close to the Taipan.

On June 12, in Sterry's office, the three were talking about their final departure route.

"We each went out to meet at the old sailor's bar by the dock, and the 7 p.m. liner went to the United States and diverted back to Romania." Stolke talked about the route.

"What about the others?" Felix asked about Stokel.

"I don't know, don't ask Felix." Stolke warned him.

After hearing Stolke's words, Felix shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he would not ask.

"Prepare to go, I'll leave last." Sterry said.

Soon Felix and Stolke found an excuse to leave first, and Sterry called Zhang to the office.

"Zhang, you've done a great job lately, I'm very pleased."

"It's all the result of your cultivation, boss." Zhang Agou, who heard Stelly's praise, said with a flattering smile.

"I'm thinking of making you a manager right now, but it depends on your recent performance."

Zhang Agou felt that he was dreaming, and the Taipan, which many people were striving for, beckoned to him like this, and hurriedly spoke after reacting. "Thanks to the boss's promotion, I will definitely work hard."

Looking at Zhang Agou, who was still daydreaming in front of him, Sterry suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

"Zhang doesn't need to show his attitude, I asked a beautiful lady to have dinner, and now the company has handed it over to you, what important things are waiting for me to talk about at work tomorrow." After saying that, Sterry tidied up his clothes, as if he was really going on a date.

"Good boss, I will be optimistic about these employees and will not let them be lazy."

Sterry then got into his car and drove all the way to the Old Mariner's Bar, where he met the two men in a secret room with their makeup.

"Hurry up and finish your makeup, we're ready to take the boat." After a while, three working-class people walked out of the bar, and listened to their tone to leave Shanghai to look for opportunities in the United States, and these three people got on the angel liner. At 7 o'clock the liner started on time and left with three successful speculators.

The next morning, word spread across Shanghai that American and European automakers were planning to abandon rubber tires on the grounds that the current price of rubber made them unaffordable. In the afternoon, an even more sensational news came out, the owner and manager of Willis, Shanghai's largest rubber company, had disappeared.

This news shocked everyone, whether it was a leased foreign company or a Chinese money bank, they were looking for the three of Stry, and finally found Stry's car at the nearby dock, which ignited everyone's anger. The crowd of Willis stocks burst into the building, smashing everything in sight.

Zhang Agou, who has always been known as Stree's confidant, was taken to the patrol room to ask about the whereabouts of Stree's three people, and later it was reported that Zhang Agou committed suicide in fear of crime in the cell.

The news of Sterry's escape with the money made all rubber stocks fall into a tail, and the stock market was full of people selling rubber stocks. It's a pity that no one is coming to take over the rubber stock now. The stock price immediately fell by less than half in a day. Willis stock has become a piece of waste paper, and now many people who have invested their lives in it are completely unable to accept the news, some people have gone crazy and some people have committed suicide, and the money bank is also a large number of bankruptcies, and Shanghai has entered the Great Depression period for a while.

In Romania, where the success has been great, the harvest is also being calculated. A staff member who counted the results of the battle received the results to the person in charge of the operation, Calust.

"After our calculations, this time we invested £2.07 million and actually invested £1.8 million. The upfront cost is £380,000 and the medium-term publicity cost is £100,000. In the end, we received a total of £4.06 million in funding, and after deducting costs, we made a profit of £2.26 million, which can be described as a huge success. ”

"After giving me this sub-report, the rest can be destroyed." Caluster spoke to the staff member.

"Okay"

Caluster took the report in his hand, intending to report the results to Crown Prince Edher.
