Chapter 10 The Russian Financial Crisis Erupts
After dealing with the treasure, Ferdinand was idle again. Take little Ferdinand around every day, even when he was on official business.
The little guy is also very attached to Ferdinand, and when he sees him, he wants to hug him. He often attacked him suddenly, urinating on him or wiping saliva with his clothes, but Ferdinand was not impatient.
Especially not long ago, little Ferdinand opened his mouth to speak, and the first thing he said was "pee"! However, Fei shamelessly directly defaulted to "Dad", and the child's pronunciation was inaccurate, which is understandable!
The father and son got along with each other, which made the two mistresses of the family very jealous, so they also divided their own time with the baby, and tried to make little Ferdinand learn to speak.
However, Ferdinand's good mood did not last long, and he had already determined that the first sentence that the little one learned was not "Daddy", but "pee"!
Because every time the little guy opens his mouth, he either pees or! This made him very embarrassed, the previous pretending action was a complete failure, and it made him embarrassed in front of the two hostesses!
Ferdinand had already decided that when the little one was a little older, he would give him a good feel for what aristocratic education was.
The education of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Kohali family, even now he can find it from the memories of the original owner!
"Three summers in summer, three colds in winter." This sentence is not enough to describe his experience!
In Ferdinand's memory, at a very young age, he began to receive aristocratic training. First, he learned language and aristocratic etiquette, and began to receive military training when he was a little older, including music, art, history, and humanities......
In short, don't want to have a few days off all year round! In addition to his own birthday, elders' birthdays, and Christmas, participating in aristocratic socializing is probably considered a holiday!
So now Ferdinand is fluent in German, French, Russian, Hungarian, Arabic and Spanish, all of which he left behind. (Note: Bulgarian and Russian can be used together)
Ferdinand was fortunate more than once that he had preserved the memory of his predecessor, otherwise with his scumbag nature, he might not have even learned a foreign language by now!
After thinking about it, Ferdinand had to look at his son sympathetically, a beautiful childhood was too much luxury for him!
Maybe at the age of three, maybe at the age of four, at the latest it could not be more than five, and he would say goodbye to his childhood and begin to learn all this great thing.
Of course, the little guy doesn't know that his unscrupulous father is really gloating, and at the moment his eyes are rolling, as if he is thinking about something!
Leisurely times are always short-lived, especially for a king!
"Your Majesty, the Jewish consortium has taken action against the Russian stock market!" Fuhu said admiringly
For Ferdinand's accurate judgment, the more people who know him, the more they admire him, and Forhu is naturally no exception!
Ferdinand said lightly: "As expected, our layout can also be closed!" ”
Knowing that the beginning of the economic crisis was the stock market, how could Ferdinand not enter the market to make a profit? Long before the Jews acted, he bought a lot of shares in batches, waiting for an opportunity to do it!
Fuhu was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, is it too early for us to retreat now?"
The Jews have just begun to bid up the stock price, and the Russian stock market should continue to rise wildly in a short time, and we are retreating now, wouldn't the loss be too great? ”
Ferdinand shook his head, if it weren't for the treasure he had obtained before, maybe he would have really been tempted to take the risk of taking a chance; Forget it now, play finance, he doesn't think he's a genius, and it's more likely to be played to death!
Explained: "Jews have been playing finance for thousands of years, right? There may be people who can outdo them in this regard, but it will definitely not be us! In case they cheat and become a backstabber, it will be troublesome! ”
With Ferdinand's order, its shares began to sell quietly and slowly. But now that the Jewish consortium is preparing to harvest and is still pulling up the stock price, Ferdinand's shares will naturally be taken over!
As for shorting? A small amount is fine, a large amount is fine: Ferdinand said that if anyone dares to do this, after the outbreak of the Russian financial crisis, Nicholas II will hand him how to rewrite his life?
Don't look at how much the Jewish consortium has made this time, the bane of the anti-Jewish movement of the Russians in the coming decades has been planted now!
(Lessons from the past 404, omitting 50,000 words about the stock market)
……
Taking advantage of the Jewish consortium's inflated stock price, Ferdinand took the opportunity to make a small profit and left the market in a hurry.
At this time, the stock market of the Russian Empire has begun to break through the sky, and the market has risen by 80% compared to half a year ago, but investors still firmly believe that the stock will still rise!
It's not that you don't understand that the stock market is already very dangerous now. But many people think that it is not the peak yet, and they will sell as long as there is another wave, looking forward to the emergence of another wave of pick-up heroes!
The turmoil in the stock market, the tsarist government is not unclear. However, now pursuing the idea of a free market economy, and the market should regulate itself even if there is a crisis, the tsarist government chose to watch all this from the sidelines!
……
Finally, the Jewish consortium felt that the time was ripe, and on June 2, 1899, the crisis broke out on the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange!
More and more sell orders were put out, but no one cared, and the stock price began to plummet!
The volatility in the stock market soon spread to the financial markets, with a large number of bad bank debts appearing and a run on the stock market erupting.
There is a long queue for withdrawal at the door of each bank, and of course, the strength of competitors is indispensable!
……
"Your Majesty, the Russian financial crisis has erupted!" The Minister of Finance said anxiously
He was joined by Bulgarian cabinet ministers and high-level ministries, and everyone's expressions were not relaxed at this time.
The Pro-Russian Alliance is not a simple military alliance, it is also an economic alliance for the economic integration of Pro-Russia, and Bulgaria should not want to be left alone in the financial crisis in Russia!
Of course, the financial crisis can be dealt with, this one has little impact on Bulgaria, it seems that the Bulgarians have little interest in the stock market, and because of the small scale, they have been affected by the events of the Stamm cabinet.
As early as 1888, Ferdinand ordered the temporary closure of the stock exchange, and the so-called stock market crash for Bulgaria can only be a melon eater.
As for those who want to trade stocks, what should they do? Cold salad, of course! The ideas of a few people cannot compete with the general trend!
Anyway, in this year, ordinary people are not popular for transnational stock trading, and going abroad is also a troublesome job!
Especially after the Balkan War, the Bulgarians' national self-confidence suddenly rose, and they disdained all other countries in Eastern Europe except Austria-Hungary and Russia!
There are securities exchanges in Greece and Serbia recently, but unfortunately everyone can't look at it! Austria-Hungary and Russia are far away, so you can't spend months rushing to buy a stock, right?
Ferdinand said with a smile: "Don't worry, the financial crisis will not affect us, and the Bulgarian people will not buy stocks!"
Moreover, the Federal Reserve has just been established, and in order to raise gold, the overseas business of Union Bank and Royal Bank has been greatly reduced, and the impact will not be too great; The National Bank is not going to go out and play finance, right?
As long as the three major banks stabilized, the financial crisis in Bulgaria would not have erupted! ”
The Minister of Finance was also a fan of the authorities, and with the increase in the volume of trade between Bulgaria and Russia, the Union Bank and the Royal Bank naturally followed the trend and opened a number of branches in Russia to carry out foreign exchange business.
At this time, a run broke out in Russia, and they naturally bore the brunt, and if any of them had problems, the Bulgarian financial community would not be able to eat and go around!
Of course, he is more worried about the Union Bank, the Royal Bank is Ferdinand's family bank, and with the support of this big family, how can it not go bankrupt!
Moreover, the Royal Bank of Bulgaria has a high reputation even in Russia, and its credibility is still reliable in the hearts of ordinary people, and few people will worry about it going bankrupt!
Even if there is a run, the first to be unlucky will be the small banks!
Very no, although Union Bank is quite powerful in Bulgaria, it is really a small bank internationally, at least the Russian people think so!
Bulgarian business community? Is this a ghost? How strong can they be? Is it a few million rubles? Or is it only a few hundred thousand rubles?
It's a pity that he didn't know that Ferdinand was behind the scenes of Union Bank, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.
The Bulgarian business community sounds very powerful, but in fact, everyone is an explosive household, and the family background is really not thick, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to ask everyone to fill the hole with money!
Chancellor of the Exchequer John F. Kennedy chimed in: "Yes, this financial crisis will not affect us too much!"
The real trouble is that the financial crisis is followed by the industrial crisis! At present, after Russia's financial situation has been hit hard, many enterprises will go bankrupt directly because of financial problems!
At that time, there will inevitably be a large number of unemployed people, and the purchasing power of the unemployed will be greatly reduced. The Russian market will shrink significantly in a very short period of time, and we will have a big problem exporting Russian industrial products! ”
