"Hey! Stoney! As soon as Situ Nan stepped out of the dock, he was warmly hugged by Robles. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

It's been so long, and Situ Nan also misses this friend who used to give advice by his side, so rarely, Situ Nan gave Robles a kiss on the cheek.

In Stephen Chow's words, he feels sorry for each other and can't help it.

"Stoney, today I left a minute of 180,000 yuan of business and didn't do it, rushed over to pick you up, moved?"

Robles said with some exaggeration, this playful tone does not want to be American at all, reading must be under the bad influence of someone, being poor is not a bad habit, but don't be poor to a man.

After his gag like this, Situ Nan seemed to return to the time when the two were at Harvard a few years ago, close to Zhu Zhe Chi, close to ink and black, after just a few months of getting along, Robles learned Situ Nan's humor.

"I'm here to inspect the work today, and if you don't do a good job, I'll deduct your salary." Situ Nan suddenly straightened his face, but looking at Robles' disdainful eyes, he knew that the prestige of this boss could not be shaken in front of him, and Situ Nan was defeated in less than three seconds.

The two laughed.

"Get in the car!" Robles gave Situ Nan enough face today and drove as a driver himself.

Situ Nan took a look, this car is good, the new Buick! The shape lines are relatively smooth, and the piano paint is better than the one in Situ Nan's house, which is more in line with Situ Nan's taste.

"Come and stay at my house this time! Go check out my new house! Just bought a mansion on Madison Avenue and you'll love it. After getting in the car, Robles asked, he thought to himself that Situ Nan was probably tired after sitting on the boat for so long, from the west to New York!

"Good! It opened my eyes! Situ Nan said.

He was not in a hurry to work for a while, thinking that Madison Avenue was a gathering place for the rich in New York, and he was embarrassed to live there without a net worth of more than a million.

Situ Nan really didn't think about buying a mansion in New York! I went to New York twice before, and Situ Nan either hadn't made a career yet and didn't have the money to afford it, or he had a tight schedule, and he rushed back to the west non-stop as soon as he was done.

However, this time, it is estimated that he will live for several months, and Situ Nan received the inspiration of Robles, and also had the idea of buying a house in New York.

Robles really did not disappoint Situ Nan, the car stopped at No. 48 Madison Avenue, showing in front of Situ Nan is a graceful and luxurious mansion, the copper-inlaid door has a lifelike pattern, the door is on both sides with ancient Greek style columns, carefully crafted, there are wide venues, fountains, statues, swimming pools and everything, here has a wide view, the door is open to Madison Avenue, plus the people who live here are rich, it can be described as a rare treasure.

Situ Nan secretly liked it. Although his mansion in Los Angeles is also good, it is obviously not as artistic as Robles.

The decoration inside is also exquisite and luxurious, typical of the bourgeoisie!

What made Situ Nan's eyes blush the most was those art collections, especially the blue and white porcelain on the shelves! Situ Nan couldn't wait to hold it in his arms immediately.

What made Situ Nan angry was that there was still a handwriting by an ancient Chinese master hanging in the room!

"A jewel of art!" Situ Nan sighed.

The antique charm made Situ Nan's heart feel like a cat scratching, and he decided that he would return these two treasures no matter what. If he let the treasures left by these ancestors fall into the hands of Robles, a foreigner, it is better to let me, a descendant of Yan and Huang, get it.

These Chinese works of art were either looted from China by foreigners, or bought at low prices from antiquities dealers, smuggled abroad, and finally entered the collections of the wealthy foreigners.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, I don't know how many Chinese cultural relics were lost abroad in vain, which is a rather sad thing.

Situ Nan thought to himself that he could also collect some Chinese cultural relics, anyway, it was not bad for money, and the things of the ancestors would be put in the hands of his own unworthy descendants, and there would always be a day when they would return to Zhao. But it's hard to say when it's in the hands of others.

"Robles, I've taken a fancy to these two gadgets of yours, can you lend me a while?" Situ Nan said with a greedy smile.

"No, no, Stoney, I bought this for a good price." Robles said, shaking his head like a rattle.

How could he not know Situ Nan's thoughts? Those art collections were left by the previous owner of this house, and Robles didn't spend much when he bought them, but he was familiar with them, and it was a bit heartbreaking to ask Robles to give them to Situ Nan!

"Say it! You make an offer! Situ Nan looked determined to win. This person is not a gentleman, and a gentleman does not take the favor of others.

"Are you serious?" Robles looked at Situ Nan, in fact, it was nothing to give these two works of art to Situ Nan, everyone was not short of this money, but Robles didn't want Situ Nan to get it so easily.

He rolled his eyes, there he was! A thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Alright! You can get them, but you'll have to agree to my plan! "It's a big business." ”

"How old?" Situ Nan asked.

Robles held out a finger.

"Alright! Ten million is ten million. Situ Nan said.

"No, it's a hundred million dollars!" Robles said solemnly.

"What?" Situ Nan was taken aback, what does this guy want to do? Suddenly losing such a large sum of money?

Situ Nan knew that Robles would not do things that he was not sure of, and the business that Situ Nan handed over to Robles had been well managed, making more money and losing less, like in the past two years, Robles had doubled or tripled the assets in their hands.

The Hannipeg fund that Situ Nan handed over to Robles at the beginning has swelled from more than 100 million US dollars to 200 million US dollars, but the stock price still has the potential to rise, and Situ Nan is reluctant to cash out.

After the outbreak of the European War, the U.S. stock market fluctuated, giving Situ Nan almost the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and he made waves and speculated wildly in the stock market and futures, taking away $300 million from it.

It was more astronomical than it was when he almost fled from New York, went to Houston, and finally returned to Los Angeles.

After Situ Nan left New York, some of the money was reinvested in the stock market, buying stocks of large enterprises such as steel, coal mines, railways, gunpowder, and oil at low prices, which were closely related to the war, and the stock prices have been rising due to the war.

The astronomical shares were held by a secret fund, the Hannibal Fund, which was initially managed by Robles, but now returned to Stuart Nan.

In the past two years, the efforts of Situ Nan and Robles have paid off very handsomely. The military stocks held by the Hannipeg Fund soared like chickens, so Robles had more energy to pursue his favorite business of financial speculation.

Although there is a lot of money, this is not what Robles wants to do the most, because the Hannipeg Fund focuses on long-term interests and invests in business, not speculation, and the Hannipeg Fund has held shares for more than two years, but none of them have been sold out for cash.

Robles knew that Situ Nan was waiting for the opportunity to declare war on the United States before cashing out, and now it seemed that the time was not far off. Engaging in a financial career on Wall Street is more sensitive than the average person, especially in international events, and every move will affect the vibration of the stock market.

Most of those stocks were chosen by Situ Nan alone, and Robles was just carrying out Situ Nan's will, so a proud person like him was more willing to do something that fully reflected his own level.

He enjoys the passion of manipulating capital to make waves, so this time Robles is ready to do something earth-shattering. This matter, in Robles's plan, can't be seen without Situ Nan, who calls him the big financier!

"Tell me about your plans?" Situ Nan calmed down, he wanted to know what kind of plan it was, it would cost such a lot of money, if it was really profitable, he might as well fight again!

Situ Nan's first choice was to borrow from the bank, and with his credit, he could lend a large amount of money, and if it was not enough, it would be a big deal to cash out some of the stocks.

As long as Western Oil is still there, Situ Nan will be able to make a comeback even if he falls. What's more, in terms of vision, there are few people in this world who can surpass him.

"I have to start with my securities company, you know, I've always wanted to make it bigger and stronger, to become the biggest securities company on Wall Street. Actually, I'm doing pretty well, aren't I? Robles said smugly.

Indeed, as a large newly opened securities company, although there is a lot of initial capital, the registered fund is 5 million US dollars, which Wall Street can be regarded as a sub-average investment bank.

Seeing that Robles was doing well, the first few speculations were successful, and Situ Nan later invested 20 million US dollars one after another, and the returns were not bad, which undoubtedly increased Situ Nan's confidence in Robles. At first, Situ Nan was afraid that Robles would not do well, and he was ready to lose money, but he didn't expect Robles to really withstand the pressure and gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive Wall Street.

"Yes, you did a great job! However, the current Robles Securities Company is not enough for Citibank, and there are J.P. Morgan of the Morgan family, Kuhn --- Rob & Co. of Jacob Schiffer, all of which are well-known financial monopolies. ”

Situ Nan poured cold water on Robles a little, and remembered to be hot-headed and arrogant in this kind of speculative business. But then Situ Nan added with a smile: "However, you met me, we are the best partners, maybe we can surpass them in the future!" ”

"Die!" Robles was about to get to the point, but he was interrupted by Situ Nan's words, he really couldn't see that this guy was even more arrogant than himself, but he wanted to criticize others and not self-examine.

"Although I have finally made a name for myself on Wall Street in the past two years, and many investors are willing to hand over their money to our Robles Securities to invest, but the combined money of these customers is not as much as the money you put into the securities company alone, I calculated that now Robles Securities can raise more than 40 million US dollars. Now there is a great opportunity in front of us, and it depends on you whether it will succeed or not. Here's the thing. Robles finally revealed his plan.

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to the US national debt, to be precise, the US Treasury bond in the hands of the British. European countries, especially Britain and France, held a large amount of US Treasury bonds before World War I, and they were the largest creditors of the United States.

But after the outbreak of the war, things changed, because Britain imported a lot of supplies from the United States in the past two years, a lot of money flowed into the pockets of the Americans, and in turn owed the Americans a lot of money.

Thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river, feng shui takes turns, and now the former minions can kick their noses and faces to the original masters.

In order to raise funds for the war, the British government, at the instigation of the bankers, came up with the unethical idea of taxing the interest on the US Treasury bonds in the hands of British nationals!

As a result, the price of US Treasury bonds in the British market fell in response, and the British sold US Treasury bonds one after another, with the result that the Bank of England was full of US Treasury bonds, and the banks received a large amount of US Treasury bonds from the people at very low prices. This trick is said to be another trick of Rothschild, and they are all tired of playing it!

The British government and the Bank of England are so intent on getting these US Treasury bonds from their citizens that they can't just put them in the coffers and cash them out after the war, right?

Now the situation is not good, the top priority is how to hold on, if Britain falls, these US Treasury bonds are not taken to the United States by the Germans to cash out?

Think I'm like this a day, more than 10,000, as little as seven or eight thousand, and a lot, why doesn't the collection go up much? I don't recommend it, I can't make any lists, I'm half-dead, it hurts!
