Chapter 359: Stock Market Crash

“1900!”

"It's 1920!"

"It's 1960!"

“2000! 2000! 2000! ”

In the Shanghai Stock Exchange, there was a frenzied cry.

It's only one step away from the $2,000 mark!

Suddenly, another earth-shattering cheer rang out:

"2000! It's 2000! Exceeded 2000! ”

On January 8, 1919, the "Gold Mine Stock" of the Sino-French United Mining Company, which had been swinging around 1,900 yuan for half a month, was suddenly stimulated by the huge good news that the Yunnan Gold Mine had successfully mined the finished product, and suddenly broke out on the 8th! Successfully broke the 2,000 mark in less than an hour!

Immediately after, 2100 and 2200 seem to have broken through 2500 irreversibly!

When it was said, the "gold mine stock" closed at 2,270 yuan.

Same as Guangzhou.

"That's how I see the confrontation between the north and the south."

After finishing speaking, Wang Hengyue looked at the reporters: "Fellow reporters, what other questions do you have to ask?" ”

"Mr. President, I am a reporter from Shanghai's Limin Times, and I have just received news from Shanghai that the first batch of finished products has been successfully mined in the large gold mines in Yunnan, and Yunnan is within your control, what do you want to say about this? Or will you specifically increase your tax on this? ”

"What? Gold mine? Wang Hengyue didn't seem to hear clearly: "Please say it again?" ”

"Gold Mine." The reporter was a little strange: "Don't you know that there are gold mines in Yunnan?" ”

Wang Hengyue looked surprised, and whispered to Jiang Zhongzheng beside him for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Mr. reporter, please clearly state what kind of gold mine it is." ”

The expression on the reporter's face changed, and he roughly talked about the "gold mine stocks" that the whole of Shanghai is crazy about.

Wang Hengyue listened carefully, and waited until the reporter finished speaking and said very seriously: "I can tell you very clearly, as far as I know, there is no gold mine in Yunnan. ”

"You say," the reporter even became a little stuttering: "You say there are no gold mines in Yunnan?" Can you be sure? ”

"Sure? Can I be sure, you ask? Wang Hengyue laughed: "I am the president of the Republic of China, and I am fully responsible for what I said." Once again, I can tell you unequivocally that there are no gold mines in Yunnan! ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The reporter said one after another, and then turned around and ran out as if the wind was rude.

It's shocking, it's shocking!

Scam, it's a big scam! There are no gold mines in Yunnan, and the whole of Shanghai has been deceived!

The reporter panicked to the extreme, not because of this scam, but because he also bought a large number of "gold mine stocks"

It's messy, Shanghai is messing up again!

And it's a complete mess!

On January 9, when the Shanghai Stock Exchange had not yet opened, an earth-shattering news shook Shanghai:

Wang Hengyue, the president of the Southern Revolutionary Political Axe, denied the existence of gold mines in Yunnan!

"Boom", like a clear sky suddenly exploded with a thunderclap.

This thunder can almost blow Shanghai out of a big hole!

The hearts of the people are panicked, as if the end of the world is coming! The entrance of the stock exchange was crowded with people, and everyone was discussing the same question:

Is there a gold mine in Yunnan?

Some people say that Wang Hengyue is talking nonsense, and several "experts and professors" have already published so many studies and reports in a conclusive manner, how can they not! Some people can say that this is what the president himself said!

But no matter what, no one has a bottom in their hearts

Finally, the stock exchange is open!

2270 yuan per lot of stocks, as soon as the market opened, as if falling from a cliff, it fell to 1800 yuan!

It's so fast that it's impossible to react!

Fell, fell!

The speed of falling is much faster than the rate of rising! All the people who hold gold mine stocks in their hands are crying for their fathers and mothers, and they are busy throwing away the stocks in their hands, but at such a time, who else wants to take over?

"It's confirmed, it's confirmed!"

At this time, a manager of the stock exchange rushed in, sweating profusely, waving a telegram in his hand. The tumultuous crowd fell silent, and everyone was expecting good news from him.

But the manager's face was as pale as dirt:

"Eleven banks in Shanghai jointly called Guangzhou, and Wang Hengyue, the president of the Southern Political Axe, once again confirmed that there is no gold mine in Yunnan! After an overnight investigation, President Wang confirmed that a group of people had leased an abandoned mine near the Dahongshan Copper Mine in Yunnan Province, which had all disappeared a few days earlier. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and at this time, another staff member of the stock exchange ran in:

"It's over, it's over, Cai Dov and Hu Yike of United Mining are missing, as well as Jeff and Professor Lloyer!"

There was no sound at all in the stock exchange, and the silence was frightening.

Suddenly, a hysterical voice cried out:

"500 shares, 1500 shares, whoever wants it, who wants it!"

This time, it seems that these people have finally come to their senses:

"500 shares, 1400 shares!"

"1,200 shares, 1,000 shares!"

It's late, it's already too late

When the news of the scam was confirmed, "Gold Mine Stocks" has been described as a pile of waste paper!

In one morning, the stock, which had rushed to 2,270 yuan at the highest, plummeted, and when it closed, it had fallen below the issue face value of 189 yuan, and the closing price was 120 yuan per share.

In just one morning, a loss of 2,150 yuan per share!

Crashed, completely collapsed!

In one day, the market value loss is in the billions!

Waste paper, everything becomes waste paper.

Everything became a phantom, a beautiful dream.

The impact of this "gold mine stock market crash" is far more severe than the "rubber stock market crash" a few years ago.

The only thing that is different is that in this big stock market crash, the most affected are the foreign banks:

For example, Daosheng Bank, such as Zhengjin Bank

Daosheng Bank, January 9, night.

Pierce sat there blank, not saying a word.

It's over, it's over. Daosheng Bank was destroyed in its own hands. After dawn, I had to face the angry questions of the shareholders.

He doesn't blame anyone, only blames himself, how did he fall for it?

He opened the drawer, took out a revolver from it, and put it in his mouth tremblingly. His hands kept trembling, and finally, he closed his eyes.

Gunshots rang out in the night

On January 16, 1919, the Franco-Russian Daosheng Bank was liquidated because its Shanghai branch failed in its investment in Shanghai, suffered heavy losses, and was directly implicated in the head office in Paris, and was forced to declare its closure!

It is said that the bank is the main gold.

Asakyu stood at the window, his face looking quite calm.

"Chairman" Aoki walked in, and when he saw the chairman like this, Aoki was full of shame: "Chairman, I'm sorry, but I didn't do things well."

"No, I don't blame you." Asagachi said calmly: "I made a decision on this matter, and I can't shift the responsibility to you, and the losses caused to the bank and the empire will be borne by me alone." ”

"Chairman, you can't bear it alone!" Aoki raised his voice at once: "It's not just our bank, all the banks have been implicated, although we have suffered the heaviest losses!" And your decision has also been approved by the above! ”

Asaki smiled mockingly: "Aoki, there are some things you won't understand. You know, when something so big happens, you always have to find a scapegoat, and there is no one more suitable for this scapegoat than me. So I have to die, and only when I die can I let the people above give an account to the country. Even if I wag my tail and pity, I will not get pity. ”

"No, it's not fair, it's not fair!" Aoki shouted loudly.

Asaguchi let his loyal subordinate sit down, then took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and poured it for himself and Aoki: "There are many unfair things in this world, and if we have to pursue fairness, it will only bring us more harm." ”

A bottle of wine quickly drank most of it, and let out a long sigh: "I always feel that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this matter, but I can't know the truth." Aoki, if you take pity on my kindness to you in the past, please help me take care of my family. ”

"Hello!" Aoki couldn't cry. He vowed that as long as he was alive, he would take good care of the chairman's family, find ways to expose the truth, and give justice to the chairman.

But where is the justice, and where are the liars?

Aoki didn't know, no one could answer him, never will.

Asamiguchi drank the last bit of wine from the cup, then took a short knife, wiped it clean, fell to his knees, and untied his clothes.

Aoki fell to his knees, watching as the chairman plunged the short knife into his stomach

A few months later, New York, USA.

The merchant ship "Shepherd" slowly approached the shore, and the passengers on board walked down one by one.

The last to walk down were two young men with oriental faces, one wearing gold-rimmed glasses and the other with a big back, and the two walked unhurriedly and calmly.

No one came to welcome them, and they didn't need anyone to welcome them.

The big back looked to the side, and then raised his arms: "America, here we come!" ”

America, these two are coming!
