Chapter 171: The Unquiet Nineteen Twenty-Nine
Let's not talk about how Li Tie's wedding night was spent, not to mention the fact that Li Tie finally got up the next day with three strokes and was tired and had a sore back.
Not to mention, Li Tie received countless gifts and was so happy that his mouth was crooked. Not to mention that Li Tie opened the box sent by Tongji University, and saw that it was a letter of appointment to hire Li Tie to become an honorary teacher of the school, and laughed.
Let's just say that the year 1929 was an extraordinary year, and it was also an eventful year. This year will not be beautiful because of Li Tie's wedding, it will always come.
Just a month after Li Tie's marriage, at the end of March of the same year, the disarmament order of the National Revolutionary Government was finally issued, which also confirmed Commander Chiang's bad habit of eliminating dissent and crossing rivers and demolishing bridges.
When the disarmament order reached the hands of the Gui warlords, the Gui warlords represented by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi immediately rebounded strongly, and more than 100,000 Gui troops began to move frequently.
It's a pity that before Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi prepared to attack, several senior generals of the Gui family, who had already been bought by Commander Chiang's high-ranking official Houlu, either rebelled against Li Yongjiang by telegram, or simply defected before the battle.
The seemingly formidable Gui army was crumbled by Commander Chiang in less than a month.
Li Zongren, who was unwilling to fail, gathered his descendants and joined Bai Chongxi to fight against Chiang in May. It's a pity that the revolutionary army was defeated in less than a month, and finally Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi both retreated to Hong Kong. Guangxi also fell into the hands of the pro-Chiang Gui generals for a time.
And after Chiang Kai-shek annexed the Gui army, he began to unite with Yan Xishan to annex Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek fought the idea of breaking each one, and when Feng Yuxiang was killed, it would naturally be his turn to clean up Yan Xishan.
It stands to reason that with such an obvious strategy, who wouldn't understand? Everyone thought that with the Gui warlords as a lesson from the past, Yan Xishan would know the truth of his lips and teeth even if he was confused.
No one expected that Yan Xishan, who had always been delicate and cunning, would agree to the plan to annex Feng Yuxiang in partnership with Commander Jiang.
It turned out that Yan Xishan was also fighting his own Xiao Jiujiu, and he knew that Feng Yuxiang's army had always been the most capable army in China. So he also wanted to borrow Feng Yuxiang's hand to vigorously weaken Chiang Kai-shek.
Although Chiang Kai-shek had the idea of finally annexing Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan didn't just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just waiting for Jiang Feng to lose both, so he could come out and clean up the mess.
Maybe he can also win the post of commander-in-chief of the national government. Just when Yan Xishan was wishful thinking, preparing to watch the tiger fight across the mountain.
Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast became restless again. In the name of recovering the Eastern Railway, Zhang Xueliang took the lead in launching an attack on the Soviet troops in the northeast, and soon crushed the sparse Soviet troops in the northeast.
Zhang Xueliang was carried away by the momentary victory, and not only announced the resumption of the right to use the Eastern Railway, but also confiscated the property of Soviet expatriates in the northeast. This move immediately angered the Soviet government.
In August, Soviet troops began on the Sino-Soviet border and marched south along the Eastern Railway, quickly crushing the Northeast Army, which lacked generals.
and forced Zhang Xueliang to return to the table of rebellion and maintain all the privileges of the former Soviet Union in the Northeast. Zhang Xueliang, who was still counting on Commander Jiang to send troops to help, only found out at this time that Commander Jiang was already unable to protect himself.
It turned out that Commander Jiang had already fought with Feng Yuxiang's army, and the two sides were holding each other, and now they couldn't help themselves at all.
As for Yan Xishan, who had been watching from the sidelines, he wished that Zhang Xueliang would lose his troops, seeing that there was a fierce foreign enemy in front of him, and there were indeed no reinforcements to support him in the back, and Zhang Xueliang was afraid of being beaten by the fierce Soviet army, and he didn't want to damage the strength of his Northeast Army too much.
In the end, Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to re-sign an agreement with the Soviet Union that was beneficial to the Soviet Union. After this battle, Zhang Xueliang was even more afraid of the strength of the Japanese army in the northeast, you must know that as the Japanese army's subordinates defeated the Soviet army and beat themselves so badly, how terrible is the strength of the Japanese army as the victorious country?
As a result, the fierce attack of the Soviet Union completely shattered Zhang Xueliang's confidence and his courage to compete with the Japanese army. Since then, Zhang Xueliang has dared to compete with the more unbearable Zhuangding army in China.
In September of that year, the Eastern Railway War in Northeast China had just ended, and Jiang Feng was still in the stage of military confrontation in China.
In the office of the general manager of Huaxing Investment Company in the United States, Tang Mengxue, who was already well-known in the United States, suddenly received a coded telegram from Li Tie from Shanghai, China.
According to the page number of a Dream of Red Mansions given to Tang Mengxue when Li Tie left the United States, Tang Mengxue quickly translated this coded telegram.
It turned out that Li Tie told her on the telegram. No matter what happens to the U.S. stock market now, and no matter how many high-quality stocks there are in hand, they will gradually sell off their stocks from September 23.
Li Tieqian told him that he had received reliable news that there would be a big change in the US stock market at the end of October, so it was necessary to sell off the shares held by Huaxing Investment before 24 October.
All cash proceeds from the sale of the shares are not allowed to be used when deposited with Citibank. Waiting for further instructions from Li Tie.
Tang Mengxue, as a top student in the Department of Finance, although she was only a junior student, she still smelled an unusual atmosphere from Li Tie's message.
At present, the US stock market is applauding, and although the price is very inflated, only a very small number of people now realize that this inflated price in the New York stock market will eventually bring great disaster to the US stock market.
And Tang Mengxue is also one of these few people. Therefore, Tang Mengxue did not hesitate to carry out Li Tie's order thoroughly.
As a celebrity in the investment field, Tang Mengxue's every move has always received strong attention from the people of New York.
However, when Tang Mengxue sold tens of millions of shares at once on September 23, she was still questioned by the majority of shareholders.
The majority of shareholders don't understand why Tang Mengxue is selling so many stocks, and now Huaxing Investment Company is making a lot of profits, but it seems that there has never been news that Huaxing Investment Company's capital turnover is not working.
Because now, who will sell stocks unless they have to? I can't buy it if I want to. Therefore, Tang Mengxue's tens of millions of yuan of shares were put into the stock market, and they were quickly sold out, and for this reason, the American people also laughed at Tang Mengxue's long hair and short knowledge, and she didn't know how to earn money.
However, because the New York stock market is at its most prosperous now, with hundreds of millions of stocks bought and sold every day, even if Tang Mengxue sells a considerable part of the stocks every day, it still does not attract the attention of the American people.
You must know that since the establishment of Huaxing Investment Company for more than a year, the market value of the 200 million yuan stock a year ago has more than doubled, and some have risen dozens of times.
Therefore, if Tang Mengxue sells all the shares purchased at the beginning of 200 million US dollars, then Huaxing Investment Company will make a profit of at least 2 billion US dollars.
At this time, the Dow Jones index of the entire U.S. stock market was the highest at 380 points, with a total market capitalization of only 100 billion.
Who would have thought that four years later, at the height of the economic crisis, the Dow Jones index fell to only 42 points, and the market value was only 12 billion.
If at that time, Li Tie used these two billion funds to buy the bottom of the U.S. stock market, what would happen to the United States in the future?
This is Li Tie's ultimate plan. It's a pity that only Li Tie is clear about this great plan in the world. Even the thousand-tailed scorpion didn't know it.
So even though everyone didn't understand why Huaxing Investment Company was selling its stocks when the stock market was so good, everyone was still very happy to snap up the stocks sold by Huaxing Investment Company every day.
In just one month, Huaxing Company sold more than one billion shares, which also made the shareholders of New York feel like they were happy every year. Because this month, they can buy high-quality stocks every day that they can't usually buy at all.
And Tang Mengxue also changed from the first good money boy in the mouth of the American people to a loser in a month.
On the third day of the Huaxing Investment Company's sale of all the shares in its hands, that is, on October 24, 29, the stock price of the Niuyo Stock Exchange suddenly fell like an avalanche, people sold their stocks hysterically, and desperate shouts echoed in the entire exchange hall.
In another month, the New York stock fell from 363 to 180. It fell by more than half. Although the stock market was rescued by the U.S. government and the central banks, the stock had a short period of ups and downs, but in the end it did not stop the downward trend of the stock.
Every day, the shareholders looked at the stocks that were falling day by day, and while lamenting their own bad luck, everyone remembered at this time that Tang Mengxue, the loser of Huaxing Investment Company, seemed to have sold all the stocks held by Huaxing Venture Capital Company before the stock market avalanche. Was she favored by God?
Suddenly, Tang Mengxue became a well-known star in the United States, and hundreds of reporters blocked in front of Huaxing Investment Company every day, everyone wanted to find Tang Mengxue, how did she escape this stock market crash in time.
As the stock continues to fall day by day, although it is far less harmful than the decline in the previous month, it has never risen in a single day. In the end, even the economic experts of the US government came to Huaxing Investment Company one after another to learn from Tang Mengxue.
And how would Tang Mengxue know why, if it wasn't for Li Tie's advice, not to expose the reason. Tang Mengxue had already confessed Li Tie.
However, Tang Mengxue will transfer the questions of these experts to Li Tie, and Li Tie will always give answers. This made Tang Mengxue become the youngest and most authoritative economist in the United States after several relays about the causes and consequences of the economic crisis.
Nowadays, even the president of the United States often asks Tang Mengxue about his plans. How can we stop the economic crisis from happening. And Tang Mengxue will always put forward some very constructive suggestions, but unfortunately, the governing ability of the US government in this field is very weak, and it is not able to return to heaven at all.
As the economic crisis in the United States grows day by day, the whole world also experiences economic crises.
