Yunnan.

"Professor Maurice, Lady Ivina."

The person who appeared in front of the professor and his wife had a thin face and small eyes, and for some reason, he looked a little scared:

"My people said that they found you two sneaky old people wandering around the mine in Yunnan, so they arrested you, and I came here from Guangzhou to deal with this matter."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something: "By the way, my name is Yu Lei." ”

"I solemnly protest to you!" Professor Morris said emotionally: "I am an American citizen, I am here to conduct research, you have no right to detain us!" I ask you to release us immediately! ”

Yu Lei smiled faintly: "Here, I have all the rights I want." The heavens are my heavens, and the earth is my earth. I don't care what country you are from, here, even if the president of the United States comes, you have to listen to me! ”

Professor Morris was stunned. He had traveled to countless countries, but he had never encountered someone as arrogant as the man in front of him.

"What do you want to do?" Professor Morris asked with some humility.

Yu Lei politely invited the professor and his wife to sit down: "Actually, there is nothing, I know that you are here this time for whether there is a gold mine, I can tell you, there is no gold mine." Oh no, there is a mine that does have gold in it, but unfortunately the cost of developing it far outweighs the return, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Professor Morris didn't expect him to be so candid: "Then why did the joint expedition release the people who discovered the gold mines?" It's a big scam, are they willing to do it for you? ”

"Pierce is completely in the dark, and with a little manipulation of the so-called gold mine, we can successfully deceive him, but those two experts did cost us a lot of money." Yu Lei said indifferently: "This money can allow them to live comfortably for several lifetimes, and when this matter is over, they can spend their old age in bed made of money, and they can even count the money there all day long." ”

"Moral decay, moral decay!" Professor Morris shouted angrily: "This is against the ideals and morals of a scientist, and they will inevitably be condemned!" ”

Yu Lei smiled slightly: "Condemnation? What is condemnation compared to money? Professor, you didn't have to be involved in this matter, but why did you have to come to Yunnan to expose the so-called truth? This is China, not in the United States, where you can go if you want! ”

Professor Morris calmed his emotions.

Obviously, he has now become his prisoner, and the professor's main concern is what he wants to do to himself!

Yu Lei glanced at the professor, and then said unhurriedly: "Professor, since you are already here, then help me do something." Send a telegram to Shanghai, saying that you have proved the real surname of the gold mine after on-site investigation. ”

"No, never!" Professor Morris said without thinking: "I will never do such a thing against my own conscience, a true scientist can die, but he must not sell his conscience!" ”

Yu Lei smiled, and laughed very sarcastically: "You're not afraid of death? Yes, you may not be afraid of death, but what about your wife? ”

"What do you want to do?" Professor Morris involuntarily leaned down towards Madame.

Yu Lei said indifferently: "What do I want to do?" I'll let your wife work in the mines, and I'll make sure she won't see the sun all year round. She never had a beautiful evening dress again, no lavish banquets. Her beautiful hands would soon become rough, and she would catch tuberculosis or something even more terrible, and she would die within a few months. ”

"Devil, devil!" Professor Morris immediately cried out, "You have no right to do this!" ”

"I have!" Yu Lei said: "Whatever I want to do here, no one can stop me, do you believe in God, professor?" I'm the god here, and I can decide whether a person lives or dies at will, oh yes, when you and your wife go missing, someone will look for you, but who would have thought that the famous Professor Morris and his wife would die in a mine? ”

Maurice's lips trembled.

Devil, this man must be a devil!

When he said these words, his eyes did not even blink, as if he were saying something that was most commonplace.

Glancing at her wife again, Ivona was pale with fear, her body was constantly trembling, and she grabbed her husband so tightly that she would not let go.

Yu Lei seemed to have lost the patience to continue to deal with them: "Okay, professor, since you insist on refusing to send this telegram, I will not ask for it." Somebody, take Lady Evana to the mines. ”

Two big men walked in.

"Wait!" Professor Morris finally called out.

Yu Lei smiled and looked at the professor, the professor's lips trembled, he was reluctant, but he had to say the words word by word that he thought he would never say anyway:

"I, willing"

Yu Lei smiled very brightly, he clapped his hands, and said to a person who came in: "Take the professor to send a telegram, and take the lady down to rest, you must be a good master." ”

The dejected professor was taken down, and asked the sullen stick, "Director, what to do with them after sending the telegram?" ”

"Lock them up and don't let them out again." Yu Lei sighed: "I originally wanted to release them, but they are Americans after all, if this matter spreads, the impact will be too great, and none of us can afford this responsibility." There was no Professor Morris, no Lady Ivana, and we had never seen them. ”

Professor Morris's telegram from Yunnan once again sent Shanghai into a frenzy.

Professor Morris has always been a rigorous person, he is almost an authority on mining, and his every word can be regarded as a decisive final judgment!

No one can doubt Professor Morris, just as no one doubts the inevitable defeat of Germany.

The telegram arrived in Shanghai first, followed by several research documents signed by Professor Morris himself. There were even a few photos that arrived with them:

Professor Morris and his wife were standing in front of a mine with a smile on their faces. And on the back of the photo, the professor writes:

A great discovery, a gold mine that will shock the world, and I would like to pay tribute to my friends Jeff and Lloyer!

It's a sensation, Shanghai is a sensation again!

The testimony of Professor Morris, an authority in the mining industry, has made banks and individuals who had previously maintained a wait-and-see attitude completely abandon the last trace of concern.

A gold mine, a real gold mine, a gold mine confirmed by Professor Morris himself!

What could be more exciting?

HSBC was the first to state that once the shares of "Sino-French United Bank" were successfully listed, it would accept the pledge business of the shares in HSBC. Subsequently, various banks also made the same statement as HSBC.

A telegram from Professor Morris may have had a much more response than he had imagined. If he had seen with his own eyes all this that he had caused, he probably wouldn't have done it anyway.

However, there is nothing to be done

On December 6, 1918, the stock of the "Sino-French United Mining Company" was officially listed, which was also known as the "Gold Mine Stock".

The issue price of gold mine stocks per share was 189 yuan, and on the day of issuance, the stock exchange was crowded with outsiders, and there was almost no place to stand, and the whole of Shanghai fell into a frenzy because of "gold mine stocks".

At the time of issuance, the gold mine stock went all the way up, from the issue price of 189 yuan, as if it was full of gas, and then the closing price was shockingly climbed to the price of 303 yuan!

Crazy, totally and completely insane!

Good news keeps coming, machinery and equipment are already being purchased, and the actual mining of gold mines will be carried out soon.

On the 7th, Daosheng Bank once again announced that it would inject 300,000 pounds into the "Sino-French United Mining Company", which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of gold mining stocks there!

Rise, rise, rise, rise all the way!

At the close of trading on the 7th, the gold mine stock stayed at the price of 426 yuan.

The 1000 mark is already close at hand.

The hottest "rubber stock" in Shanghai that year, a company issued 1 million pounds of shares, but it was sold out in half an hour; A stock with a face value of 10 yuan rises to 180 yuan at the highest; Another stock, with a face value of $100, rose to $700 at its peak.

This kind of market has greatly stimulated the confidence of Shanghai investors, thus driving the crazy rise of Shanghai rubber stocks.

With such a positive stimulus, some people have even figured out what rubber is, and they have thrown themselves into this stock boom. Many rubber companies advertised in newspapers and vigorously publicized the company's bright prospects, claiming that their shares could be pledged in cash at face value in foreign banks, thus winning the trust of not only Chinese businessmen in Shanghai, but also foreigners and foreign banks in Shanghai. In this round of transactions, the funds invested in the Shanghai market were between 26 million and 30 million taels, and the funds invested in the London market were about 14 million taels, and the total of the two places amounted to 40 million taels.

In the frenzied speculation, Shanghai's funds have been frozen almost completely, and it has become difficult for other industries to obtain funds, and the largest financial center in the Far East has run out of money.

However, even such crazy "rubber stocks" are completely insignificant compared to "gold mine stocks".

What is real madness? Now is the time for the real madness!

It's messy, the whole of Shanghai is already in complete chaos!
