Chapter 451, Contest

JPMorgan doesn't invest a lot of assets, but in many cases, the capital market is a market of confidence, and sometimes, a single piece of news can make the whole market fall, or the whole market can rebound. The news that Scrooge will be back to save the city belongs to the latter. Just this news, and Morgan's investment of 80 million funds, by the opening of the stock market on Monday, the continuous decline of stocks was basically stable, and by the end of the afternoon, the Dow Jones index was even very rare to be a little red.

……

"We can't just watch them just squeeze us out of the United States and do nothing. Uncle, I think that since Morgan wants to save the city, we should work with him and make trouble for them. Alberto said to Joshua, "Uncle, we have to do something. ”

"Alberto, calm down first." Joshua said, "Think about what good it would be for us to do this. Morgan: They may be waiting for us to come out and crack down on the stock market, but what are their goals? Isn't it just the establishment of a central bank controlled by them? What is their excuse, isn't it our threat? If we do what you say, isn't that playing into their hands? And, as you know, the family doesn't give us financial support, and the amount of money we have is far less than Morgan's, and even less than MacDonald's! By doing so, of course, we can inflict losses on the Americans, but we ourselves will suffer losses, and we will not be able to prevent them from achieving their goals at all. Unless Morgan and Scrooge suddenly turn around, we don't have any chance of success. That being the case, of course, we can't act rashly. Alberto, you should know that the family sent you to me in the hope that I would change your impulsive habits. ”

"Of course I do. But uncle, do you know why you were placed in such a place as North America that was almost abandoned by the family? Why doesn't the family pay enough attention to you? This is not without reason. And the biggest reason for this is probably that you lack courage.

Uncle, please forgive me for being so rude. Ning asked me so many questions just now, and now I will give you my answers. You're right, Morgan and MacDonald are very formidable, respectable opponents. Their strategic timing is impressive. Strategy wins because it's right. Now that they have the strategic upper hand, their victory is unstoppable. At least the victory in this battle is irreversible. But that doesn't mean we can do nothing. Because the war between our family and them will not end here, and losing a battle is not the same as losing the war. We have to think about the future battles.

Uncle, Machiavelli said that respect comes from fear. And to make the enemy fearful, at a critical time, you must have a ruthless spirit, and have the courage to fight all the chips in your hand. Let the opponent understand that we dare to make sacrifices. Let them be jealous of us. We may not be able to scare Morgan and MacDonald, but we can at least make other Americans fear us! Uncle, Uncle Joshua. In the case that we are doomed to be temporarily expelled from North America, how much money to bring back is not the most critical. The family didn't have to rely on the little money we brought back from North America. On the contrary, if we can make more American businessmen feel awe of us when we leave, or even need to be respectful, only fearful, then our actions will not be considered for nothing. Alberto said as he stared into Joshua's eyes.

Joshua was taken aback by his nephew, who seemed to know him for the first time. After a while, Joshua said, "Alberto, you do have some truth in what you say. I'll leave this matter to you. I'm getting old, and the future of my family depends on your generation. ”

……

"Mr. Morgan, we found that those Jews were sucking in chips. Yesterday day, the stock price of Gray Railroad rose by five percent, and in these market conditions, such an increase is very suspicious. Gray Railroad is very involved, and if it goes wrong, it is likely to cause huge damage to the market. I fear that the Jews may be planning to sabotage our bailout by attacking this company. ”

"Well, it seems that Joshua has made a rare ruthless move." Morgan laughed, "Don't worry, my friend, our power, at least at the moment, is far greater than theirs. Also, Scrooge was worried that this would happen, so he gave me a special drawing right to temporarily use the MacDonald Ventures fund until he returned, if I needed it urgently, and that was capped at $200 million. If I have such support, I can't deal with them, then I should really jump off the building. ”

……

On the third day, the price of the Gray Railway continued to rise abnormally, but then a large sell order appeared, a large sell order of 300,000 lots worth 500,000 US dollars, and the price of it was immediately reversed.

"Morgan made a move." Alberto told Joshua, "If he wants to suppress prices, then we will also suppress them, so that Morgan, whose purpose is to stabilize the market, will have to keep prices from falling sharply." He has to keep eating at a high price, and then we also turn to eat, the initiative is on our side, as long as we move fast enough, every time a little faster than him, then we can lose less than Morgan. ”

"Okay, you just do what you want." Joshua said.

……

"These Jews are really not easy to deal with, but it doesn't matter. The Gray Railroad is important because this company owns corresponding shares in several other companies. If it goes wrong, it will have a knock-on effect on these companies. But we can take a cut and buy the stocks of the companies that will be disturbed first, so that we can use those stocks to stabilize the situation when there is a big swing on the Gray Railroad. And now they're driving up the stock price again? It's good, let them lift up, let their money come in. Then I'll show them how people with a lot of money play! ”

……

"Are they still letting prices go up? Isn't that right? Joshua said.

"No matter what. Now that the arrow is on the line, we have to get our hands dirty. Alberto said. R1058
