Scrooge and Rockefeller's newspaper article reminding the masses not to repeat the "tulip mania" is like throwing a pebble into a torrent, and although it makes a small splash, it is only a splash. Taotao's capital flood has not been affected in any way at all.

The price of oil continues to rise, and the eyes of the people of the United States are on oil. Many business owners of sluggish companies (such as steel, railways, etc.) simply sold their businesses and plunged into the ranks of oil speculation. The price of oil rises almost three times a day, from morning to afternoon, and a barrel of oil can rise by thirty to fifty cents in a day. The entire northeastern part of the United States is going crazy about oil. Of course, in such a frenzy, not all people have fallen into a madness, and at any time in the history of mankind, there have always been sober people, and there are always no few. It's just that among these people, there are very few people who dare to stop such an irrational torrent of capital, and among these people, there are even fewer people who can really stop such a torrent. However, there will always be people who will come out and try to see if they can become the hero who can turn the tide.

"Mr. Lincoln, there is no doubt that today's oil mania has become another 'tulip mania'. Are you still going to sit here and be indifferent? Damn, these bunch of lunatics are destroying the economy of the United States! You can't just watch, you have to do something! Otherwise, I promise you, in a month's time, the Great Lakes and the waters of New York will be filled with the bodies of people who committed suicide because of bankruptcy, and the United States will be in crisis. You are the president, and you should do your duty to stop such a state of affairs from happening! "Treasury Minister Samon?? Chase yelled at Lincoln so much that he had to tilt his head to avoid the spit coming out of his mouth.

"Mr. Chase, calm down. You are the Minister of Finance, and you should know that I don't have much at my disposal to intervene directly in the market. Lincoln said, "Don't I know what you're accusing me of?" But, you tell me, what means can we use to curb this fanaticism within our purview? Lincoln asked.

Salmon?? Chase replied: "We can make a statement in the media to express our concern about the current situation and remind people to calm down." We can also regulate it through guò taxation. ”

"It's just a matter of saying to the media, and the tax means are adjusted? Mr. Chase, this must be approved by Congress! Do you think such a plan can be passed in Congress? I dare say that even if all the Democrats in Congress voted for it, the negative votes within our party alone would be enough to abort such a plan. Lincoln replied.

"Of course I do! Damn, there are also a large group of stupid hats in the Republican Party who want to take this opportunity to make money, and there are a large group of stupid hat fanatics who firmly believe that the best government is to do nothing and let the market mess around on its own. Of course, such a resolution cannot be passed. And in fact, even if we get it, we don't have time to get it. By the time we're done with that program, this damn oil mania will have collapsed long ago. However, you have to know that just by making such a statement, you can make an impact in the market. And, Lincoln, you've been re-elected president, I really don't know what you're hesitating about? Do you still want to sit in this position and never leave? Chase said.

"Aren't you worried that if we do that, the whole market will collapse immediately? Then the Democrats will accuse us of causing this qiē, and then even the free marketeers in the party will side with them. And the people who woke up from the dream of money, they don't blame the guys on Wall Street, they only blame us for this. We, and indeed the entire Republican Party, will be hit hard. Lincoln said.

"If you leave it alone, it will also collapse, and the consequences will be even stricter!" Chase retorted, "And the Jatiya Party, as well as the injured people, will blame us." As for public opinion, Mr. Lincoln, when it comes to choosing a side between the government and Wall Street on such a major issue of right and wrong, fools know which side public opinion will be on. ”

Indeed, fools know which side the newspaper will be on. In many cases, the U.S. government is a professional to blame Wall Street. Lincoln was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's make a statement and see how it works." ”

……

"Mr. Morgan, shouldn't we throw the oil out of our hands? You see, President Lincoln has just made a statement in which he expressed concern about the abnormal rise in oil prices. Gutwin asked.

"I've entrusted this matter to you." JP Morgan said, "You should make up your own minds." However, if even the Caesar of the business world is called Scrooge?? None of MacDonald's warnings worked, but how effective could Lincoln's speech be? ”

"But his speech, coupled with Mr. MacDonald's speech, may really be believed." Gutwin said,

"Well, then you can join forces with those who are all working with you to fry oil. In short, as long as you can stabilize yourself, it is enough, if the dealer does not move, those retail investors in and out will not play a role. Also, Lincoln, the gorilla, probably thinks that he doesn't have to think about re-election, so he can ignore our interests? He's ......."

……

After Lincoln's statement, Scrooge published a warning article in the newspaper, but it was a non-original article, almost a repetition of the article from a week earlier. So much so that the New York Herald satirized Scrooge's article in the New York Tribune:

"Scrooge?? Mr. MacDonald has learned another way to make money, and that is to rehash the same article, and then get it to some stupid newspaper again. And this stupid newspaper actually published it in the same way. But it's not surprising, not at all, because all the editorials in this newspaper are fried rice over and over again......"

Retail investors were a little flustered for a while, and the day after Lincoln's speech, the volume of oil increased, and many people began to sell their oil little by little, but the oil was bought by others almost immediately. The price of oil fell slightly, but soon returned to growth. Some of the retail investors who fled during this time ran back crying and shouting. Since then, oil prices have risen even more than before.

"Dorothea, I'm going to tell you a piece of news." Scrooge said.

"What's the matter?" Dorothea closed the report on the construction of the MacDonald Tower placed in front of her. Raise your head and ask.

"Lincoln asked Congress to approve him to impose a special tax on speculative behavior." Scrooge said, "What can you judge from this news?" ”

"Great!" Dorothea gritted her teeth and said, "This damn guy is going to be out of luck!" That's great news, Scrooge! This bastard who burned down the Mississippi must have a long head, and he dared to jump out to block everyone's wealth! He's dead! Hell, why didn't he do it in the early years? ”

"He probably thinks he won't be re-elected anyway, right?" Scrooge said.

"Re-elected?" Dorothea chuckled darkly from between her teeth, "Hmph, Scrooge, I'll make a bet with you." I bet he won't make it to the end of his term. What do you think? ”

"I don't make such bets that don't even make a clear bet." "And with this bet, you're obviously going to have a much bigger chance of winning." I won't play with you unless the bet is up to me. ”

"Alright then, you make the bet!" Dorothea said.

"Ah, that's it, let me think about it." Scrooge said as he walked over and circled Dorothea.

"Have you figured it out?" Seeing Scrooge's eyes spinning around herself and the books on her desk, Dorothea suddenly became a little nervous, "Isn't this bad guy going to throw me another workbook?" ”

"I've figured it out." Scrooge smiled wickedly and said, "If I win, you're going to let me kiss ten times!" ”

"You!" Dorothea blushed, opened her eyes and cursed.

"What? Don't you dare to bet, right? Scrooge deliberately left a smug look.

"Humph! What would not dare! Bet on it! Anyway, you're just a fool who will scramble without me to help, what do I have, what do I dare not do. Dorothea's voice suddenly lowered, and she lowered her head and pinched the corner of her dress.

"Well, that's it!" Scrooge said.

"Wait!" Dorothea suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked something important.

"What's wrong?" Scrooge asked.

"I ...... I almost let you get away again! Dorothea said, "You haven't said what if you lose?" ”

"Ah, look, if you don't say it, I really almost forgot." Scrooze smiled shamelessly, "My bet is very fair and reasonable, since I won, you let me kiss ten times, then correspondingly, if you win, I will let you kiss ten times." ”

"Die, you!"

……

"Payne, I've got a new piece of news. Lincoln, the tyrant, was going to give a lecture at Pennsylvania State University in two days. I got a MacDonald 1857 Precision Shot rifle. Herold said.

"Great! The end of this tyrant has come! Payne replied. Since the last failed assassination, John?? Wilkes?? Booth died instantly, but they managed to escape and waited for their chance.
