Nine hundred and eighty-nine. The Greedy

The big day is just a big day that everyone remembers!

On this day, the first dominoes were overturned.

When those who were stunned by the sudden situation had not yet reacted, an even more shocking news suddenly came:

This is the house deed sold by "Frost Brokerage"!

"Boom", the entire housing contract exchange is completely chaotic.

"Frost Brokerage" is one of the most famous companies in the crazy New York Housing Deeds Exchange, they are in this market, they have a lot of resources in their hands, and they are even the vane of the entire New York Housing Deeds Exchange!

"Decalon District 399 Dump ......"

Finally someone reacted, and they screamed with all their might. There is no doubt that these people are a group of guys who react quite quickly, and they know that something must be a big problem.

In any case, they must not let these contracts fall into their hands......

The crash finally happened at this moment...... It was May 11, 1966......

This day is known as the darkest day in American history, and the disaster brought to the United States on this day far exceeded the terrible stock market crash in the 40s.

This day will surely be firmly remembered by every American.

It was a nightmare day for Americans......

More and more people are joining the frenzied sale of the house contract in their hands, and no one wants to be the last fool.

But. Everyone doesn't want to be a fool, so who is really a fool?

Fall - crazy fall! When no one is willing to take over, the price of the housing contract will fall desperately without any suspense. The decline has been so fast. It has reached a point where it is completely unacceptable.

Those housing contracts, which were astronomical just a few days ago, have shrunk by more than half in just twenty minutes. But even so, no one wants to take over!

Now all those who dare to take over are fools...... The only thing they didn't expect at the time was that they had already become fools......

Poor Xie Lisha was stunned, she was nothing more than a small fish in the huge housing market, those housing contracts in her hands. In such a situation, there is simply no one willing to take over.

Xie Lisa was about to collapse, and only she knew what these house deeds meant to her and her daughter......

She couldn't suffer such a terrible thing, never!

She shouted in a loud voice. Others can sell it at a significant price, but only she can't. Because she was burdened with a heavy loan shark, she could not bear such a large loss. But when everyone has reduced the price by at least half, she still cites the price she traded. What madman would want to take it from her?

Wang Weiyi has been watching all this coldly......

Yes. There will be a lot of people going bankrupt, there will be a lot of people committing suicide, but in fact, all of them are to blame. No one forced them to jump into this big fire pit, no. It's all because they've been blinded by their greed for money.

For example, Xie Lisha. Wang Weiyi warned her again and again, but she didn't listen to it at all, but thought that "Mr. Moyol" was jealous of her.

What better way could you do it for such a person?

The disaster continued until the noon break. At this time, the largest decline in the house contract is only one-third of the original value of the purchaser.

But. Even so, no one wants to take over......

Wang Weiyi and Frost and Kasanovic stood up from their positions, their stomachs were hungry, and when they were hungry, they had to eat.

Unlike most of them, they are in a very happy mood at the moment.

Only they know best what the collapse means......

"Xie Lisha, do you want to eat together?" Wang Weiyi saw the stunned Xie Lisha and asked politely.

At this time, Xie Lisha had completely lost the confidence she had not had before, her face was dark, her eyes were blank, and she looked at "Mr. Moyol" blankly and shook her head.

"Destroyed, all destroyed, my house contract is about to become a pile of waste paper...... Xie Lisha said in a daze, and suddenly grabbed Wang Weiyi: "Mr. Moyol, do you think the price will rise in the afternoon?" ”

Until this time, she was still so obsessed, Wang Weiyi's heart sighed: "Xie Lisha, listen to me, as soon as the market opens in the afternoon, no matter how much it is worth, throw it away." No matter how much you lose, it's better than worthless. ”

Xie Lisha smiled miserably: "No, I don't throw it, I don't throw it, it will rise, I believe it will rise again in the afternoon." Mr. Moyol, believe me, it will definitely rise in the afternoon......"

"Mr. Moyol, let's go, no one will be able to persuade her." Frost whispered.

Yes, there was no one left to convince her, she was completely immersed in her own imaginary world......

......

At the same time as the housing contract market plummeted, the New York Stock Exchange also got the news, and in an instant, the stock price that had been rising well immediately began to fall sharply.

This also caused panic within the stock exchange.

It is the madness of the housing contract market that has greatly driven the securities market, and the two aspects are inextricably linked.

But the worst thing happened.

Once the first domino is overturned, then a whole string of dominoes will have a chain reaction.

That's the tragedy for these Americans......

When Wang Weiyi and the people from the "New York Alliance" met in the restaurant, several people had smiles on their faces.

The seeds they planted were finally harvested.

"As soon as the afternoon opened. will continue to fall sharply...... "Gates. Morgan said with a relaxed expression: "I think we can open the champagne in advance to celebrate." ”

"I've got a good bottle of champagne there." Lawrence. Rockefeller couldn't hide the smile on his face: "In 1942, Mr. Baron and our father directed such a good play, but today it is a good play. But it was even more exciting than that year. ”

"I think we have to congratulate Mr. Elliot." Wang Weiyi raised the wine glass in his hand: "If it weren't for Mr. Eliot's advance arrangement, I don't think we would have done it so easily." ”

"For Mr. Elliot." Gates and Lawrence raised their glasses together.

Elliot was not modest and polite, yes, his heart was full of pride. I finally did something worth celebrating for the baron.

Taking a shallow sip of wine, Elliot put down his glass and said, "I think Mr. Baron should look at that pitiful and pathetic face of Mr. Elijah...... You would never have imagined that such a face would appear on the face of the Marquis of Ilya...... He was desperate, utterly desperate. He was there shouting wildly, as if by doing so, he could stop the stock price from falling. Ah, that's the happiest thing I've had in recent years...... I hate this man. He hated his father even more......"

Eliot's loyalty to the Baron was ingrained in him from an early age, and any betrayal of the Baron was unacceptable to him.

Even if the baron was unwilling to retaliate, he swore that he would raise the sword of revenge......

"The sudden and unstoppable loss of vast wealth is unacceptable to anyone," Gates said with gusto...... "It's a win-win-win-win The pace of the baron's revenge is accelerating. And we're going to get a huge benefit from that, and I love the New York League, really, I like the New York League more than anybody. And you, Monsieur Baron, now, I feel that it is the most right thing to do to make an alliance with you. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled, and at this time he saw the Marquis of Ilya walking into the restaurant in despair. He winked at Eliot. Then he left the table.

"Hey, Mr. Elijah. Why don't you come and sit with us? Eliot greeted Elijah: "Marquis, you have learned about the Dao, your identity is kept secret here, only a few of us know about the Dao, in case it spreads, I am afraid the impact on His Excellency the Grand Duke will not be very good." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Elliot." Ilya said listlessly: "Today is a terrible day, and my losses are hard to calculate. What about you, dear gentlemen, how much money have you lost? I'm afraid it's far ahead of me, right? ”

"We? Ah, I guess we don't have anything to lose? Elliot said lightly.

Ilya's eyes widened suddenly: "What, you have no losses?" ”

"Yes, we have no losses, and we have made a lot of money." Lawrence looked as if he was casually saying, "In the stock market, there will always be people who lose and people who will make money." ”

Ilya looked at the three tycoons dumbfounded, he really couldn't understand how they made money......

He suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world: "Mr. Wittgenstein, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, I beg you to help me, or I will be doomed." ”

Elliot smiled faintly: "Help you? How can we help you? You have to do everything on your own, and I think maybe there will be a miracle in the afternoon. ”

Ilya smiled bitterly, miracle? What is a miracle? Disaster, everything that happens here is a disaster!

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Elijah, I must remind you of one thing." Elliot seemed to remember something: "You asked me about a short-term loan, which will soon mature, and if you can't repay it, then your collateral will go to me." I don't want to do such a thing, but business is still business. ”

Ilya nodded numbly...... Yes, perhaps at this time there is really only hope that the so-called miracle that Mr. Elliot said can happen......

Ilya didn't eat, he couldn't eat a bite, he still had some appetite, but Elliot's words made him lose his appetite completely.

He had to think about what to do, and almost all of his and his father's wealth was concentrated here. If it continues to fall in the afternoon, how will he explain it to his father?

It's a pity that no one cares about what he thinks......

Wang Weiyi returned to the table, and Gates, who didn't understand the interior, couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency the Baron." Are you afraid to see Ilya? ”

"No, I'm not afraid of him." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "I'm waiting for the time to really face them!" ”

That day is coming soon......

......

In the afternoon, the nightmare continued after the opening.

The sell-off in the housing deeds exchange continues, and no one is willing to take over.

The price of contracts continues to fall, and some of them have turned into a pile of waste paper. The owner couldn't think of anything else but to look at the pile of waste paper in despair.

Waves of despair hit them, and the only thing they could do was hope that God would open his eyes of mercy.

But. God will never have mercy on the greedy.

At this point, even the most ignorant can know that there is nothing left to stop the collapse. in the housing deeds market. In the stock exchange market, the hysterical cries suddenly became quiet.

Everyone awaits the final judgment of fate.

There's nothing they can do, they don't even know what they should do, they just watch the price fall and fall. A fall is enough to kill them.

Xie Lisa was also completely numb. She stared blankly at the few housing deeds in her hand, and stared blankly at her daughter who was playing there in the corner of the housing contract exchange, and didn't know what was going on. Then, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

What to do, what should she do? How should she pay back so many loan sharks? No, she simply can't afford to pay it back. Ah, not to mention usury, she also promised Mr. Murray that he would pay the rent by the morrow.

If she can't come up with the money by then. She's going to be swept away by Mr. Murray. Where should she and her daughter live?

Xie Lisa smiled miserably again......

......

"A man saw a little boy crying by the roadside, and he asked the boy why he was crying so sadly. I just accidentally lost ten dollars...... ' said the child. The man was so sad to see him crying. So he took out ten dollars from his pocket and gave it to the boy. However, the boy cried even more sadly, and the man was puzzled, so he asked the child, 'Didn't I give you ten dollars just now, why are you crying?' The boy replied: 'If I had not lost the ten dollars, I would have twenty by now!' Wang Weiyi suddenly told such a story:

"It's a short story, but it's inspiring. This is a typical example of a greedy person. Yes, if a person allows greed to dominate his heart, only a sad end awaits him. When they don't get, the greedy are hurt." The greedy man stretches out his hand and blindly asks for this world, and when his desires are not satisfied, he is immersed in the torment of loss, and his soul does not get a moment of peace. However, when he got it, he was happy? This is not the case. The greedy's desires are never-ending; Old desires are satisfied, and new desires arise again; Small desires are satisfied, and big desires break through the ground again. The greedy will then fall into a new torment of loss...... It's a terrible cycle that never ends...... A greedy mind can never be freed from suffering...... Life is a silent ninja and a stern judge, and all greedy deeds will eventually pay their due......"

Frost nodded approvingly: "If you hadn't chosen me, I think I'd be in the ranks of the greedy right now...... Greedy people will never be satisfied, get a pearl, and still want diamonds. After getting diamonds, I want more wealth. In ancient Europe there was a saying, 'The heart of a greedy man wants a cellar of gold; The width is forty miles, the length is as long as possible, take four taels in the morning, and add half a catty in the afternoon'. The heart of the greedy is a bottomless pit that can never be filled. A vicious circle of greed, fantasizing about eternal wealth, and even wanting to make one's descendants rich forever......"

"The greedy are actually the poorest." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Everyone is like this. Mr. Frost, Mr. Kasanovich, my mission here has been completed, and the finishing touches will be left to you. I think we'll not be able to see each other again for a long time. ”

"I really hope to work with you." Frost said sincerely.

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly, then stood up, and when he came to the hall of the housing deed exchange, he saw all kinds of desperate and depressed faces. Then, he saw Alice playing alone.

He came to Alice's side: "Where's your mother?" ”

"Ah, Mr. Moyol, where is she?" Alice pointed forward, "Mr. Moyol, can you please give me something to eat?" From morning to now, I've eaten some of the cookies that your friend gave me. ”

"Poor boy." Wang Weiyi sighed and hugged her: "I will invite you to eat the best food, and I will give you everything you want, but you must remember one thing, never be greedy, and always only take what you deserve, which will be essential for your lifelong growth." ”

"I will, Mr. Moyol, and I will listen to you. Shall we call Mom along? ”

"No, your mom is now paying a heavy price for her greed!" (To be continued......)
