Nine hundred eighty-eight. Big day

The treasures owned by Grand Duke Gregory of Belstoka really opened the eyes of even people like Wang Weiyi.

Perhaps the treasures that the entire Russian tsars had painstakingly collected were almost emptied of the greedy Grand Duke. In particular, the treasures of Catherine II's time are dazzling and beautiful.

Fortunately, Ilya, who was more greedy and stupid than his father, was blinded by money, otherwise he would still have such a huge fortune even if Gregory had lost everything else.

To get revenge, you have to leave your own enemies with no underwear left!

Elliot, who was also very surprised, gave out the loan at an ultra-low price of 100 million US dollars, and of course, out of "respect" for the Grand Duke of Belstoka and his "friendship" with Mr. Elijah, Elliot even forgave the interest on the loan.

And Ilya is grateful for this.

Now, the treasury of Russia has completely belonged to Wang Weiyi......

The tide of the big era is coming in waves, and no one can stop it. The only thing a sensible person can do is to add fuel to the fire.

And Wang Weiyi and his "New York Alliance" are exactly the people who are fueling the flames behind the scenes......

......

Wednesday, May 11, 1966.

Today is a nice day.

It was still raining in New York a few days ago, but the weather has cleared since early this morning.

This seems to indicate that something good is there, such as the fact that the New York stock market, which has temporarily halted its upward growth, will be able to continue to rise again. For example, the housing contract market can reach a new peak.

It all feels so good.

"Alice, are you dressed?" Xie Lisa hurriedly put on a simple makeup in the mirror, and then shouted loudly at her daughter's bedroom.

"Ahh Mom, I'm all right. Wearing the new clothes that her mother bought for herself yesterday, Alice jumped out and said, "Mom, do I look good in this dress?" ”

"Beautiful, of course good." Xie Lisha kissed her daughter: "Ah, we have to hurry, or it will be too late." ”

Left his room with his daughter. She saw that the landlord, Mr. Murray, was already waiting for her, and Mr. Murray first greeted them with his own greetings: "Ah, your daughter Alice is so beautiful. In the future, she will be a great beauty like you...... Xie Lisha, you haven't paid your rent for two months, and I have to live on this...... Why don't you move to a smaller house? After all, there are only two of you. ”

"Ahh Mr. Murray. I'll give you the rent tomorrow night. Xie Lisha didn't seem to care at all: "I've made a fortune, do you know, I've made a fortune, I will throw away the house contract in my hand today, and then I will give you the money." ”

"Ah, then I'm relieved." Mr. Murray always seemed so polite: "If I have any offense, please forgive me, who made me not as capable of making so much money as you?" ”

A smug smile appeared on Xie Lisha's face: "Mr. Murray." You see, you can be as rich as I am. Why don't you enter the housing lease market? ”

Mr. Murray shrugged, "Ah, to tell you the truth, I'm not as bold as you, I'm a very cautious person, and I'd rather live a peaceful life like this." ”

"That's a shame." Xie Lisha actually looks down on people like Mr. Murray, who has no courage at all, doesn't dare to move anything, and is only willing to live a so-called stable life in this place of his own, what else does such a person have?

She restrained the disdain in her heart and politely said goodbye to Mr. Murray......

Looking at the back of the high-spirited Xie Lisha, Mr. Murray shook his head, although the whole of New York and the whole United States is crazy about the so-called securities market and the so-called housing contract market, but Mr. Murray actually doesn't believe in this.

He had lived through the terrible stock market crash of the 40s, seeing people jump from a building in the house he rented out.

These things are all illusory, the most illusory, especially in the housing contract market. Are those people really crazy, they don't even need to look at the house, and they can speculate the house price so high just by virtue of a contract? Are all of this really true?

No, Mr. Murray absolutely didn't believe it anyway. There is nothing more reassuring than being able to live your life with peace of mind......

......

"Marquis Ilya, your clothes."

Dressed up carefully in the mirror, he was very satisfied with his state today. In a little while, his wealth will increase by a geometric amount, and this is what he wants to see the most.

After he made sure that there was not a single flaw in his dress, he walked out of the house without hurrying.

In order to successfully blend into the circle of American high society, you must make yourself look very calm at all times, just like Mr. Eliot.

Ah, hell, why do you want to learn from Eliot? Sooner or later, his wealth will surpass that of this guy, and sooner or later he will make him grovel in front of him.

You know, Eliot is just a rich man, but he is a real marquis......

......

Wednesday at 8:00 a.m.

There is still an hour before the opening of the securities market, and a large number of people have gathered at the door, and they are discussing today's market and what kind of high point the stock market will rush to today.

Marquis Ilya entered through the side door, and a big client like him was a VIP here, and there was no need to huddle with those poor fellows and wait for the door to open.

When he entered, he saw that Mr. Elliot had arrived, and was by Mr. Elliot's side. He was also surprised to see Gates. Mr. Morgan and Lawrence. Mr. Rockefeller.

Ah, these are the three heavyweights of America, for Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller. I've only met them once or twice.

Ilya became excited, and he walked quickly in front of the three tycoons: "What an honor to meet you, Mr. Wittgenstein, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, are you also here to witness the miracle in the history of the world's securities?" ”

"It depends on what you know about miracles." Gates smiled and said, "Maybe your understanding is somewhat different from ours. ”

Ilya didn't quite understand what he meant, the tycoons. Can't you just be more straightforward?

Of course, no matter what the other party says, he will not dare to refute it too much. Although he was a marquis in Russia. But this is New York, and this is the territory of these American tycoons......

While people were anxiously waiting for the stock market to open, the largest housing deed exchange in nearby New York was already full of people.

Their mood at this moment is more nervous than those speculators in the stock market.

Xie Lisa held her daughter's hand tightly. Anxiously watching the time. Know the way. This is related to the happiness of her and her daughter's life.

The price of the house deed has reached an unbelievable level, and Xie Lisha feels that it is time to pour the deed into empty hands, and her dream is one step closer......

"Alice, what do you want?" Seeing her daughter looking around boredly, Xie Lisa asked softly, "Beautiful clothes?" Or a beautiful doll? ”

"I want to be with my mother all the time...... Alice looked at her mother with beautiful eyes, "Mom, don't we have to come here so early every day in the future?" ”

"Yes, we don't have to come here so early every day anymore, because we'll have a lot of money soon." Xie Lisha's words were full of happiness: "Lots and lots of money. It can even fill your bedroom. You can sleep in every day when you wake up. The maid will bring you a cup of hot milk. What others have, you will have. No, what you have is better than all of them......"

Alice became happy: "Do you promise, Mom?" ”

"Yes, I promise!" Xie Lisha made her most solemn promise to her daughter.

"Look, Mom, who do you think that's that? That's Mr. Moyol. Alice suddenly pointed to a man who had just stopped the car and got out.

Ah, really the young and handsome Mr. Moyol. There were two more people next to him.

"Hello Lisa, Alice." Wang Weiyi came to them with a smile: "Came so early, did you have breakfast?" ”

"Nope." Alice honestly replied, "Mom came out with me early in the morning. ”

Xie Lisha didn't have time to stop her daughter, her face flushed: "Ah, we got up late today, I'm worried that we will be late, you have to know that today is a big day." ”

"Yes, today is a big day...... Wang Weiyi sighed softly, and then said to his companions beside him: "Mr. Frost, Mr. Kasanovich, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"I should have some cookies." Kasanovich took the biscuit from his body and handed it to Alice.

Kasanovich? Xie Lisha was a little dazed, she knew who this person was, the famous gangster godfather in New York, the man who was cheap back then, and Alice's biological father was working under Mr. Casanovic.

But how could a man as polite as Mr. Moyol have anything to do with gangsters? And it looks like Kasanovic still has a lot of respect for Mr. Moyol.

"This is Mr. Kasanovich, and this is Mr. Frost, the president of Frost's brokerage company."

With Mr. Moyol's introduction, Xie Lisa was even more surprised. In the days when the housing contract market is constantly rising, the "Frost Agency" is probably the most in the limelight, and they always seem to have an inexhaustible supply of houses in the best locations.

They have become the center of conversation and the brightest stars in the New York housing market......

Oh my God, this would be a friend of Mr. Moyol.

Xie Lisa timidly asked, "Mr. Frost, did you say that it will reach a new high today?" ”

"I can't say for sure......," Frost replied somewhat surprisingly, "but Ms. Shelisa." From my personal point of view, when the market opens, you should throw away all the housing contracts in your hand as soon as possible. ”

Xie Lisha said a perfunctory "en". But what she thought in her heart was that she wasn't that stupid, and she had to wait until she rushed to the highest point before she could throw it.

This is the last chance that Wang Weiyi has given Xie Lisha, whether she can seize it or not. But people are always blinded by greed......

At this time, nine o'clock came, and the New York Stock Exchange and the Housing Deeds Exchange sounded the horn at the same time......

......

All the people were there screaming loudly and loudly. There was a hideous madness on everyone's face.

Prices have risen and risen since then, both in the stock market and on the housing deed exchange.

Elliot, Gates, and Lawrence are watching all this coldly...... Wang Weiyi, Frost, and Kasanovic are also watching all this coldly......

Ilya was screaming frantically, and so was Elisa. Everyone was screaming like crazy......

The deed to a house in the middle of nowhere on Manhattan Avenue has been fired to an astronomical amount, but no one cares about it, in their opinion. As long as you can grab the contract, it means that the rolling money is coming to you.

It's a big day, it's the craziest big day......

On several occasions, Xie Lisha wanted to throw away the two housing contracts she held, but she saw that the prices were rising. She hesitated again.

Wait. Wait, there will be a new price.

At that time, I will be able to live the happiest and happiest life with Alice......

......

The stock price, like the housing contract, is constantly climbing new peaks, and Ilya is full of red face, and she is already incoherent with excitement.

God, money, this is money! I'm about to become a huge rich. What the Wittgensteins, what the Morgan. What the Rockefeller family is, they all have to be trampled under their feet.

You are the true king of wealth......

......

"A crazy world." Wang Weiyi shook his head slightly: "All people are lost in it, they forget the danger, they forget the fear, in their eyes there is only money." Mr. Frost, how did the first dominoes of the Dutch Tulip affair come to rest? ”

Frost, of course, knew how such a terrible thing could happen.

What happened on February 4, 1637 was the greatest unsolved case in the entire financial history of the world, and there was not one of them. On this morning, in Amsterdam and elsewhere, the tulips were bought and sold as usual, with merchants craned their necks and buyers stepping out of their luxurious carriages, seemingly as usual. While all kinds of transactions were underway, God knows what was going on, and someone began to sell out their tulip contracts, and at this moment, the first domino of the tulip bubble was toppled down. Then came the rush to sell their tulip contracts, because no one wanted to be the last fool. The price market of Dutch tulips fell to freezing point in an instant, and all kinds of hysterical strange sounds were heard from the exchange, and the whole of Amsterdam was immersed in a kind of apocalyptic atmosphere, and the tulip bubble was burst. On April 27 of the same year, the Dutch government finally stepped in and ordered the termination of all tulip contracts.

Wang Weiyi didn't need Frost to answer himself: "Then, let the first domino be toppled in our hands!" ”

Frost stood up from his seat...... It was 10 a.m. on May 11, 1966......

"210 to 226 Third Avenue, Manhattan...... 19 to 28 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan...... Brooklyn Brighton Beach Business District ......"

Just when the New York housing stock market was at its craziest, someone suddenly began to sell off the most valuable areas of the house in their hands on a large scale. God, these are all prime locations, and they are all places that are hard to find. What's even more mysterious is that all the deeds sold are only two-thirds of the current market value......

Crazy, who's doing such crazy things? Who is so desperate to sell such a valuable house for such a low price? Some people began to lament how good it would be if these house deeds were in their own hands. But some people soon realized that something was wrong......

It shouldn't be like this, it definitely shouldn't be like this...... There must be something wrong with this...... A huge sense of crisis is quietly approaching these guys who are still smart and calm-minded.

This is the first domino, the first domino to be overthrown. As in the case of the Dutch tulip, the first domino was overturned on Wednesday, May 11......

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

"What a day." Wang Weiyi suddenly said: "A big day worth remembering for all of us, isn't it, Mr. Kasanovich? ”

"Yes, it will be remembered by each and every one of us." Kasanovich was also there smiling: "When everyone is in a frenzy, it's time for you to get the most out of it, congratulations, baron, you've won again." ”

Wang Weiyi said lightly: "It should be congratulations to all of us!" (To be continued......)
