Chapter 452, The Return of the King

"Alberto, the stock price has fallen." In the office, John, who was on the phone, shouted.

"Damn, they're a step faster." "But it doesn't matter, we're just going to smash it, and when it hits the lows, they don't have to pull it up." ”

However, this time things did not go as Alberto imagined, and when it did reach a low point that could affect the entire stock market, the stock price of Gray Railroad did start to recover again. So Alberto began to order another low buy. In this way, every time it comes, it can earn a little more or less, of course, Morgan they will also lose a little, although this little bit is not at all insignificant, but it is not bad to be disgusted with Morgan. Moreover, such a drastic stock price fluctuation is bound to arouse other people's ideas and make those people fearful. It would be nice to be able to do this.

……

"Alright, they're following up again, aren't they?" Morgan asked.

"Yes sir."

"Then now we are starting to sell goods like crazy, and one guy will directly hit the price to the bottom." Morgan said, "Also, let Mr. Gray come to me as much as he wants." Morgan commanded quietly.

……

"Damn, what's going on? Why is the stock price of Gray Railroad so low, the entire Gray Railroad Company is already insolvent, and other related stocks have not been affected too much? Alberto's eyes widened.

"It's normal." Joshua spoke, "Morgan must have secretly bought a large number of shares in several related companies, and took over a lot of the assets and liabilities of the Gray Railway. Therefore, I estimate that even if the Gray Railway Company goes bankrupt, it will not really lead to any too strict consequences. I don't think the Gray Railroad share price will rise again today. Tomorrow morning, Morgan might have the Gray Railroad declared bankruptcy. ”

"But in this case, their losses must be greater than ours." Alberto said.

"Yes, but their capital is greater. After this loss, the ratio of the amount of money they can use has widened compared to the amount of money we can use. If we continue to do this, we will have to stop because of financial problems in one or two rounds at most. This is the financial predator, when necessary, you can rely on the capital to eat. ”

"Not bad." Alberto thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Morgan is really good, he taught me a lot. ”

"So what are you going to do next?" Joshua said.

"Of course, we will continue to make more trouble for the United States. Such a loss was expected by us, wasn't it? Now that a strategic decision has been made, it should not be shaken lightly. What's more, at the point where our family is at a point, when there is no life-and-death crisis for the time being, we need to consider long-term interests more or less. ”

……

In the days since, this has continued, and by this Saturday afternoon when the stock market was closed, Alberto had basically run out of chips. And Saturday's closure also gave everyone a chance to rest.

It was also on this day that a piece of good news came out that made everyone look forward to the stock market on Monday. The news is that Mr. Scrooge MacDonald, the richest man in America and the representative of the American Dream, will return to Fort Duck this evening and hold a press conference at Fort Duck early tomorrow morning.

Unlike Morgan, Scrooge did not meet with the corporate figures alone on the docks. The question that should be discussed, in fact, during this time, his brother and children have already acted as his spokesperson, and they have talked about it with those people. As for the meeting at Duck Castle instead of at the port, it is completely understandable, because everyone remembers that Scrooge was assassinated back then.

……

Early the next morning, the invited reporters came to the duck castle gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please leave all the metal products to us for safekeeping before entering the venue." A security guard said this to the reporters who came to cover the news.

"Can't you bring a pen in too? That's what we have to do. A reporter shouted.

"We will give each visiting journalist a pen as a souvenir." The security guard replied.

"Can you give us a camera?" A photojournalist shouted with a laugh.

"Of course you can." The security guard replied. In those days, cameras were indeed very high-end things, but for the MacDonald family, it was not a problem to give reporters a few cameras.

"If I had known, I would have been a photojournalist." A text reporter said half-jokingly, half-complaining. However, this approach on Macdonald's side is generally acceptable. Because in addition to the attacks that took place that year, some newspapers have been touting in the past few days the possibility that the Jews might have used guò assassination methods to undermine Americans' efforts to stabilize the market. Again such a back. Under these circumstances, it is understandable that the MacDonald family made such precautions.

The reporters put some of their metal objects in specially prepared pockets, wrote their names on the stickers, and handed them to the security guards at MacDonald's house.

……

"Hello everyone, everyone knows the purpose of my rush back from Europe this time, so I won't say more." "Before I left the United States and Europe, that is, before the outbreak of this crisis, the bubble of the stock market was already quite strict, but at that time my judgment was that although the decline of the stock market was inevitable, it was still abnormal to have such an avalanche. If it weren't for someone deliberately creating a crisis, it wouldn't have been like this. So when my boat was halfway through and my brother told me about the big avalanche in the stock market, I was really a little surprised. But to be honest, I still underestimated the severity of the situation at that time. So I made the decision to continue my journey to Europe.

It wasn't until two days later, after I received a telegram from Mr. Morgan, that I realized that the situation had reached such a point. By this time I was very close to Europe, and I didn't have the necessary fuel on board to return to the voyage, so at that time, Mr. Morgan made it clear to me that we would join forces to repel the attacks of international financial speculators on the American economy. As you may know, although the relationship between me and Mr. Morgan is not bad, there are still many times when there is disagreement or even to the left, and there are many contradictions for this. However, I agree with Mr. Morgan on this issue, that is, our financial market in the United States is by no means a pig farm for international financial speculators, and we must not allow them to shear our wool as soon as they are short of money to spend! Mr. Morgan and I have many differences, but we all agree on one thing: we are both Americans first and businessmen second!

So I told Mr. Morgan that my ship had no fuel to return to the voyage and that it would have to be refueled in Europe before it could return. I assured him that as soon as I filled my boat with fuel, I would rush back as fast as I could. Before that, the heavy responsibility of withstanding the international financial speculators can only be borne by Mr. Morgan. While I agree to keep McDonald Ventures open to Mr. Morgan's needs, even then, a week of standing alone against the state's financial speculators is no easy task. Here, I would like to begin by paying tribute to Mr. Morgan. I know that these days, it is really not easy for Mr. Morgan to fight the pressure of foreign financial speculators on his own. There was a lot of pressure and a lot of sacrifices. I don't think Mr. Morgan has had a good night's sleep these days, but I think Mr. Morgan will be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Because I'm back, Scrooge MacDonald! ”

With Scrooge's words, the scene suddenly remembered thunderous applause. All the journalists and representatives of financial institutions applauded with great enthusiasm. The New York Times sideline published that afternoon reported the moment as follows:

"The return of Mr. MacDonald immediately dissipated the dark clouds of hesitation and panic that had been permeating the capital market all along, like the sun piercing the thick clouds and casting a brilliant light on the earth. All are convinced that the storm has passed and that the future is bright......

Mr. MacDonald solemnly promised to all the journalists and representatives of the financial institutions present that he would never allow the international financial speculators to turn the United States into their pig farm, and would never allow them to plunder the wealth of the American people as they pleased. At the same time, he also called on the people of the United States to unite and jointly repel the attack of international financial speculators.

'In this world, there will always be some emperors who are selfless and immortal. Country. Host. In 1812, the Righteous hoped to use guns to bring us back into slavery, but our fathers, holding the Star-Spangled Banner, rallied and defeated them, sending them back to the Old World with their tails between their legs. Now, they are trying to plunder us through financial means. They feel that they have a huge amount of capital and can play with us in applause at will, but I would say that they are guilty of the same mistake as before, and they underestimate the unity of the American people. As long as we unite as our fathers did, we will be able to push them off and let them roll back to the Old World with their tails between their legs! Long live the great unity of the American people! ’”

……

"Well, tomorrow will definitely not be a big problem. We were really able to get a good night's sleep. Morgan told his friend Benjamin Strong, "The capital market is a big part of the market, and the market is confidence." Now, even if the Jews take out all the money they can and put it here, it won't be of much use. But there was one thing I felt depressed about. That's the people who are working hard these days, but why is everyone cheering at Scrooge...... "R1058
