Chapter 55: Rubber Storm Sniper Battle (Part II)
Because there are materials from later generations as a reference, when Li Zhigao asked Liu Runsheng to participate in the Nanyang Industry Meeting, he began to prepare, that is, to buy a large amount of cheap silver from modern society, and hoarded a total of five million taels.
Because the price of silver in later generations was very cheap, it was already considered an industrial product, and the price was only 3.98 yuan a gram when it was bought on the market, even if it was calculated according to 37.8 grams a tael, then five million taels, that is, 189 million grams, equivalent to 752 million yuan, with Li Zhigao's net worth at that time, it was still very easy to make up.
Moreover, the silver of later generations is a very pure silver tael, so the actual price of taking it is much higher, and if such a large amount of silver is taken out and sold short, the money earned will definitely not be a small amount.
But the problem is that Li Zhigao knew the inside story in advance, and the money was ready, but there was a lack of people who could actually make a deal for a while, unless he went to Shanghai to work in person, but if that happened, what would he do with a big mess in Taiping Mansion?
You must know that at that time, when Liu Runsheng first went to Nanjing to participate in the Nanyang Industry Persuasion Conference, the Taiping Mansion was in ruins, and it was also unstable, Wang Yongni and others were not very reliable, and if Li Zhigao left, something might happen.
Originally, Li Zhigao planned to really not work, so he first called Liu Runsheng back to sit in the town, and changed people to Nanjing to participate in the Nanyang Persuasion Association, while he himself personally took the special forces to Shanghai to work, but at this moment, a foreign woman who looked a bit like Charlize Theron suddenly came to the door and said in a blunt but smooth Chinese that hoped that Li Zhigao could save her father, as long as she could save her father, she could do anything.
A young foreign woman suddenly came to the door, and then said something to ask for help from her father, and said that she could do anything, there must be a reason for such a dramatic scene, but as soon as Li Zhigao asked, he immediately understood the reason.
It turned out that this girl with long blonde hair and looked a bit like Charlize Theron, English name was Lily Margaret Howard, Chinese name Li Li, nineteen years old, British, mother died early, father and a sister at home.
Her father's name was John Howard, whose Chinese name was Li Huade, and when he was young, he was a gun captain on a destroyer of the British Navy in Shanghai, and after retiring from the army, he stayed in China and became a British businessman who had been doing business in China for a long time, which was a common phenomenon at the time, after all, Chinese money was very profitable at that time.
Originally, Li Huade's family had a good life in China, and they opened a foreign company by themselves, and they were successful businessmen, but some time ago, there was a sea storm, and the ship carrying his goods sank, and he did not buy insurance, so he suffered heavy losses, and the company went bankrupt directly, which can be regarded as suffering a heavy blow.
Originally, it didn't matter if it was just like this, after all, Li Huade was a foreigner, had extraterritoriality in China, and had been doing business in China for a long time, familiar with internal affairs, and usually a good person, and had many business partners.
It's a pity that God can't see it, just when Li Huade cheered up and wanted to make a comeback, he got diabetes again, and his body became thinner and thinner day by day, and then his condition deteriorated, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only lie in bed, very weak, and he couldn't do it.
The only Optimus Prime in the family fell, and her younger sister couldn't count on it, so the eldest Li Li gave up her studies and rushed back from the UK to support the family.
After Li Li returned to China, Li Huade's condition had begun to deteriorate, she had to take care of her father at home, relying on the help of friends and the original family support, but later saw that her father was getting worse and worse day by day, and she was about to go to see God.
Finally, she heard that there was a Christian hospital in Taiping Province, called Shengai Church, which was very famous recently, and would not only give people free treatment, but also treat incurable diseases, and many incurable diseases were cured, so she ran to Shengai Church for help.
Edford of the Church of Saint-Love personally went to see John and was diagnosed with diabetes, but the Church of Saint-Love could not treat it, because at this time the disease was incurable, and they had no medicine or means to treat this disease.
Just when Li Li was disappointed, Edfu told her that he couldn't help it, but there was a person who had a way, that was Li Zhigao, only Li Zhigao had a way to cure him, but Edford also said that Li Zhigao was a complete cold-blooded businessman, and it was impossible to expect to pretend to be pitiful and beg him to do good deeds, and he would only make a move if there was enough price, and Li Li had to think clearly.
In this way, under the guidance of Edford, Li Li took her father to the door in person, hoping that Li Zhigao could save her father, at the cost, she had already thought about it, she wanted money, and she didn't have much money at home, and what she could give was nothing more than her young body.
I have to say that the story of selling oneself to save one's father is not only for Chinese, but also for foreigners, and similarly, the poor are not only the patent of Chinese, but also the poor in Westerners, especially Westerners in this era. What's more, Li Li selling herself is not just saving her father, she is also saving her sister, because as long as her father is in good health, she can continue to make money and continue to support her family, so even if she wants to commit to a Chinese she usually doesn't look up to, she is willing.
Li Zhigao was also very moved by her righteous act, and out of curiosity, he also looked at his father's illness, and after this look, he found that this Li Huade was suffering from type 2 diabetes, and it was already more serious, and if it continued to deteriorate like this, it would be dead.
Although it is not type 1, even type 2 is an incurable disease at this time, and there is no complete cure for this disease even in later generations, and it can only be maintained by insulin and other drugs. However, although there is no cure, as long as you take insulin on time and eat a reasonable diet, this disease is not fatal, you can live for a long, long time, and countless people will die in life, but the key is that there must be foreign insulin.
It is not impossible to provide him with insulin, after all, insulin in later generations is very cheap, even if it is calculated at a large dose of thirty-two units per day, using domestic insulin, that is, two or three hundred yuan per month, and he obviously does not need such a large measurement, ten units a day is more than enough.
Although in fact, it is not expensive to treat his disease, but to give him insulin for no reason, it seems that it is too bad for a good person, if you open this head, you will not be able to stop it in the future, if everyone listens to this, they all come to sell pity and beg for free and keep pestering, then there are more poor people in this world, do you want to be a good person?
At this moment, Li Zhigao suddenly thought, yes, as long as there is a price, it can be said that it is over, and diabetes is now an incurable disease, only insulin can control it, and insulin has not been studied at all, that is, only he can provide it, this is the tight spell of Sun Monkey, with this, I don't have to worry about this foreigner being disobedient, unless he doesn't want to live.
That is to say, as long as this Englishman named Li Huade does not want to die, he must use his own insulin, and if he wants to use his own insulin, he has to listen to his own words...... Uh-huh, what's going on? Could it be that he has really exploded in character recently, and he will give a pillow if he wants to sleep?
The next thing is easy to do, Li Zhigao promised to treat Li Huade, and will always provide this scarce medicine that is said to be more expensive than gold, but Li Huade must work for himself and use his work to pay for medicine, of course, Li Zhigao will not only give him medicine, but also give him a little salary, which will not make his family's quality of life worse.
Next, a shot of insulin went down, and the effect was immediate, and he was given some precautions, such as how to eat diet, how to cooperate with hypoglycemic drugs, and how to inject himself. After saying this, Li Zhigao said his plan, to let Li Huade be his agent and go to Shanghai to make stocks.
The surname is on Li Zhi's master, and if he doesn't want to die, he can only listen to him, so Li Huade agreed without much thought.
Anyway, in his opinion, having this incurable disease and being able to survive is already the greatest happiness, not to mention what if he dies, what will happen to his two daughters? He really can't imagine what kind of life his two daughters will live without him in this strange country!
In this case, even if this Chinese is a drug trafficker, or even does something harmful to nature, he has done it!
After that, considering that he was still weak, he let his eldest daughter, plus a few family members sent by Li Zhigao, accompany him to Shanghai, and usually help take care of Li Huade's daily life, as for his youngest daughter, don't worry, you can continue to go to school here, but go to the school arranged by Li Zhigao.
After that, it was easy to say, Li Huade, who had temporarily recovered his health, hired five steamers as a British, and then loaded them with more than five million taels of silver, escorted by Wang Erbiao's special forces and three platoons of ordinary soldiers, and quietly went all the way down the river to Shanghai.
After the silver arrived in Shanghai, Li Huade would deposit all the silver in HSBC and set up a number of secret accounts to speculate on the rubber sector of the London stock market.
What, let Lee Waward set up an account? Will it be swallowed? Don't worry about this, what are you asking for money, it's not for fame and enjoyment, but there is a premise for all this, that is, there is a life to spend! Li Huade's life now depends on Li Zhigao's medicine, not to mention that his youngest daughter is still in Li Zhigao's hands, and there are his soldiers by his side, how dare he mess around?
Although it is not excluded that there are people who do not want to die for money, it is obvious that Li Huade is not this kind of person, he values his life very much, so the accounts he opens are all in accordance with the rules, and the account name and password are in accordance with Li Zhigao's requirements.
Let Li Huade open an account, he is British, not only can confuse the public, but also enjoy a lot of preferential policies, if it is a Chinese to open an account, then it is difficult to guarantee that there are other problems.
Although Li Huade is not from a financial background, he used to do real trade in goods, but what he is doing now does not need to be very technical, because his job in Shanghai is very simple, that is, to sell short futures through HSBC, and sell as many rubber stocks as possible before the stock market crashes.
