After arriving at Yan Shao's place the next day, Li Da was somewhat crying and laughing, he never thought that Yan Shao called him for this kind of thing.

However, after learning about this game, Li Da also became very interested, no way, there are too few entertainment programs in this era, in addition to reading books and newspapers, playing chess and visiting the green building, that is, going to a drinking party or something, if there is one more entertainment program, Li Da is also more interested.

"Okay, I'll make a plan in a minute..."

"I'll leave it to you..."

Just when the two of them were still talking, Yan Shao happened to see Lu Ying walking in from outside with a happy face.

"Why did you go, so happy?" Yan Shao asked strangely.

"Nothing." Seeing that Yan Shao and Li Da were there, Lu Ying smiled shyly, and after speaking, she turned around and ran to Otsuki Kaoru's room.

"This girl has been a little strange lately..."Saying this, Yan Shao turned his head to look at Li Da, and wanted to continue the previous topic, but before he could speak, he heard Li Da say with a smile.

"Steward Lu seems to have dumped a lot of stocks yesterday, and it is said that she has made a lot of money, and she is probably happy for this reason."

"Stocks? Rubber stocks? "This Yan Shao really doesn't understand.

"That's right, I heard that I started buying it last year, and yesterday I didn't know what Lu Dao was suddenly thrown away, you must know that Lu Dao is very popular in Shanghai now, and ordinary people can't find a way to buy it even if they want to."

In fact, Li Da also wanted to buy it, but when he wanted to buy it, he already needed to queue up to buy stocks. It is also because of this relationship that he feels strange, after all, everyone is thinking about how to buy at this time. How can there be thrown.

"That's it..."Hearing Li Da say this, Yan Shao also remembered what Lu Ying asked him before leaving and after returning. No wonder she asked me that..."

While Yan Shao was still thinking there, Lu Ying was humming a little song and walked towards Kaoru Otsuki and Fumiko's room.

in the room. Kaoru Otsuki is teaching Fumiko to learn some Chinese and Chinese characters, after all, they will live in China for a long time if nothing else. And Lu Ying also told her that when Fumiko knows some Chinese, she will arrange a school for her, and it is natural to be careful to consider Kaoru Otsuki for her daughter.

Of course, Kaoru Otsuki's Chinese is not very good, but her father Otsuki Sudo is a merchant specializing in Chinese trade after all, so it is no problem to enter the door...

Just as Kaoru Otsuki was sitting there teaching Fumiko to memorize the three-character scripture, Lu Ying walked in from outside happily. The face is full of happiness.

Signaling Fumiko to read it first, Kaoru Otsuki poured Lu Ying a cup of tea, and then said with some curiosity. "What is so pleased?"

"I've made money!" Lu Ying came this time to share happiness with Kaoru Otsuki. "Last year I bought 6,000 yuan of shares in Shanghai Story. Yesterday, after the trustee sold it, it actually multiplied sixfold, and he made almost 40,000 silver dollars..."

"40,000..."Hearing this number, Otsuki Kaoru was also a little surprised, such a large amount of money, in the past, it was a figure that Otsuki Kaoru couldn't even think of.

Kaoru Otsuki is still talking here. Over there, Lu Ying had already picked up Fumiko. "Fumiko. This time Auntie made money, just say what you want, Auntie will give you everything..."

Hearing that Lu Ying was going to buy a gift for herself, Fumiko was also happy. "I want lots and lots of sugar!"

"Okay, no problem..."Now Lu Ying is also a little rich woman, so naturally she won't care about such a request." I'll take a leave of absence with my lord in a while, and I'll take you out of the city to buy candy to eat..."After speaking, he looked at Kaoru Otsuki. "It's not a problem for you to hide in your room all day, why don't you go out with me for a walk..."

hesitated. However, after seeing Fumiko's expectant gaze, Kaoru Otsuki nodded her head.

Hearing that Lu Ying wanted to ask for leave to accompany Da Yue Xun out, Yan Shao naturally had nothing to refuse. Anyway, I've already returned to Wuhu. I'm not afraid that something will go wrong.

With Yan Shao's permission, Lu Ying naturally happily pulled Otsuki Kaoru out of the city.

Not to mention Lu Ying and Fumiko's elated appearance for the time being, looking at their backs, Yan Shao also showed a smile.

Yan Shao naturally knows very well how hot the stock is in Shanghai now, but Lu Ying can throw away the stock without hesitation after listening to his words, this feeling of being trusted makes Yan Shao feel very good.

"But then again, what exactly did the stock crash do, and when did it happen..."

In fact, Yan Shao has been thinking about whether to reveal the news of the stock crash, knowing that after the stock crash in history, the number of floating corpses on the Huangpu River is comparable to that of the Ganges River in India, and there are white and yellow ones in it.

The problem was that the rubber stock boom was one of the direct causes of the fall of the Qing court, and if it hadn't happened to such an event, the Baolu Movement and the Wuchang Uprising would have almost never happened, and the success of the Xinhai Revolution would have to be delayed for several years, and most importantly, Yan Shao had no idea exactly when the collapse would have happened...

"What's this..."When Yan Shao found Elano to discuss with Caterina and threw a grape into his mouth, Caterina pouted. Even if you know the exact time of the Dao, how many people do you think will believe it after you say it? ”

"This..."Yan Shao was dumbfounded. Probably not many. "After all, at this time, rubber stocks are in full swing, saying that it will collapse suddenly, and I can't even say why, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.

"That's it, no one will believe it anyway, do you know what it matters when you go to the road. Spread the news directly, if anyone believes it, then it will be considered his luck, if he does not believe it, he will only be considered unlucky..."At this point, Caterina sat up straight. "But then again, isn't that going to crash..."

At this time, it was close to the middle of the year, but the stock still did not have the slightest intention of collapsing, Elaline and Caterina were already a little skeptical of Yan Shao's remarks, and now this situation is inevitably some...

"This..."

Yan Shao also smiled bitterly, he couldn't say that it would be, because this was written in the textbook. But he couldn't say anything else, so he had to find a way to change the subject.

Elano and Caterina naturally understood that Yan Shao wanted to change the topic. But they just pouted. They still trust Yan Shao's gaze, after all, what happened in the past proves that his vision has never been wrong...

————————————————————

Shanghai's stock market is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no intention of subsiding the fever.

At the door of a compound. More than a dozen people are crowding there, there are both Chinese and foreigners, everyone is looking forward to the gate—————— maybe only at this time, these two people can stand together so harmoniously.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and a middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a robe and a horse coat walked out of it, but they hadn't walked a few steps yet. was already surrounded by that group of people.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, sell me all your shares. I will never treat you badly..."As he spoke, the middle-aged man who was the first to rush forward took out a bag of silver dollars, and I don't know how he brought such a heavy thing.

Seeing that someone went up, the other people also began to persuade the long-bearded middle-aged man surnamed Lin.

Some are just like the first person. Holding a bag of silver dollars. There are also those who shake the checks in their hands—————— most of them are foreigners.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, the middle-aged man surnamed Lin with a long beard took two steps back and wanted to go home, but unfortunately he was already surrounded by groups, and even if he wanted to get out, he couldn't get out.

In the end, the long-bearded middle-aged man surnamed Lin could only take out a few shares and put them out for auction on the spot, and those people were not willing to let him go home until the long-bearded middle-aged man sold out of the stocks. In the end, these stocks were all won by an Englishman, and after the stocks were gone, these people no longer bothered the long-bearded middle-aged man surnamed Lin.

"Speaking of which, have you heard? Now there is news in Shanghai that stocks will fall or even crash if they are not needed. If you don't sell it now, you will definitely lose all your money in the future..."Seeing that he couldn't fight for the most difficult time, a middle-aged man sighed while chatting with the original competitors about an incident he had heard recently.

"That's the thing..."Since they didn't get it, they naturally didn't have to fight with each other, so when they heard the middle-aged man's words, the younger one also replied. I've heard about it, but don't you think it's nonsense, now the stock is rising every day, how can it fall..."

"Yes, I think it must be the one who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic..."

“…… I think so, by the way, where are you going..."

"Go to the director's house..."

"Huh? Me too! ”

"Really?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them became cockfights again, and their steps were super fast.

When they arrived at the door of the mobilization house, there were already more than 30 people around him, waiting for the person named Dong Yuanwai to come out, and then they surrounded him until he was willing to take out the stock.

This kind of thing happens almost every day in Shanghai today, and the frequency is not low.

Wealthy people compete to buy, and some mansion wives and ladies change jewelry, sell diamond rings, and buy stocks, like crazy. With money, you have to trust people in all directions to buy stocks.

If it is known that anyone has a stock, many foreigners will stare at the door with a checkbook, and as long as the owner is willing to sell, they will sign immediately, even if the other party is a 'low-class' yellow person.

This kind of fanatical mood almost made the whole of Shanghai go crazy.

As for the news that it will collapse, few people believe it.

Since there is no interference from the external environment for the time being, although Yan Shao has let the people from the Special Affairs Department release the news in Shanghai, except for some people who are cautious by nature and know how to accept what they see, basically no one wants to believe Yan Shao's words, and the eyes of these people have been blinded by greed.

On the other hand, Yan Shao was also wondering if he was mistaken?

"Maybe 11 years, not 10 years..."

Thinking like this, Yan Shao also began to doubt himself.

"Okay, stop chattering..."Caterina, who was lying on the bed and was about to rest, heard Yan Shao still chattering there, and replied a little impatiently.

"No, but..."

"Don't be, it's been a busy day today, let's rest early..."

"But..."

"Shut up!"

————————————————————

Seeing that it is almost June, there is no change in the market. Yan Shao also regretted it a little in his heart.

"You say, if I stay for a few more days, maybe I can make another twenty or thirty million..."

Seeing Yan Shao, he was wordy again. Both Elaline and Caterina drank coffee and pretended not to hear.

After being wordy for a long time, Yan Shao also calmed down a lot.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that Kaoru Otsuki for so long, do you think I should go and visit, anyway, it's a guest..."

"This is also..."This time, Eleno and the others were not pretending, and after learning about what happened to Kaoru Otsuki, they were also very sympathetic to them. Of course, sympathy is also somewhat curious. "Why don't we go together..."

"Okay..."

The three of them were curious about what Kaoru Otsuki looked like, so they prepared a little. He walked towards the room where Kaoru Otsuki lived.

Because of the very good relationship, the room arranged by Lu Ying for Da Yue Kaoru is very good in all aspects, only the location is a little remote—————— as Yan Shao's personal butler, Lu Ying is very clear about Yan Shao's 24-hour estrus characteristics. I'm also afraid that Kaoru Otsuki or Fumiko will accidentally bump into it. So I deliberately arranged a remote room, and instructed Kaoru Otsuki not to let Fumiko go out after nine o'clock in the evening, and to go out as little as possible, but the reason was not clearly stated, but after living in the house for a while, Kaoru Otsuki also learned a little from the mouths of other maids.

Although he was very ......... about Yan Shao's characteristic, after learning that Yan Shao never harassed people. Kaoru Otsuki didn't worry too much.

On this day, after finishing teaching Fumiko, Kaoru Otsuki, who was wearing a kimono, was kneeling on the bed with Lu Ying and playing Go.

"Bell, bell..."

A knock was heard at the door. Lu Ying, who was thinking about what to do, frowned. "Who is it?"

"I..." Yan Shao's slightly magnetic voice came from outside the door, in addition to his height and super kidney function, maybe Yan Shao also had such an advantage.

If there is no accident in the house, there will only be such a man as Yan Shao, and Lu Ying has followed Yan Shao for many years, so naturally he quickly recognized Yan Shao's voice. "It's sir!"

After saying this to Kaoru Otsuki, Lu Ying hurriedly jumped off the bed and then opened the door.

When Kaoru Otsuki saw Elano and Caterina standing behind Yan Shao, she suddenly had a feeling of amazement.

On the other side, I caught a glimpse of Kaoru Otsuki, who was still kneeling on the bed, and Yan Shao and Elano were also dazzled.

After getting off the bed and walking over with broken steps, Kaoru Otsuki bowed. "You're Mr. Yan, thank you very much for taking you in...", he said and greeted Elano and Caterina again.

And at this time, Yan Shao and the others also took advantage of this opportunity to measure the upper and lower ends of Otsuki Kaoru.

With a petite figure, a beautiful face, and long shawl hair, she is worthy of the word beauty no matter which direction you look at.

"You are Miss Otsuki Kaoru, because things are too busy until now to greet you, I hope you can forgive me for such a rude..."

Behind him, Eleno and Caterina also walked up and greeted Kaoru Otsuki, but at the same time as they greeted Fumiko, who was sleeping on the bed, they seemed to be very curious about her.

"Where, it's already grateful that you can take our mother and daughter in..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, Otsuki Kaoru hurriedly bowed, and at the same time secretly looked at Yan Shao.

For Kaoru Otsuki, the first impression of the man in front of him is that he is very tall.

As for the appearance, it can only be said that he is quite handsome, and there is a big gap compared with Sun Wen, but the smile on his face gives people a feeling like a spring breeze, and the voice is also very magnetic.

"This is the owner of this manor in Lu Ying's mouth..."Thinking so, Kaoru Otsuki once again bowed to express her gratitude.

It was at this time that Fumiko suddenly became noisy because of the sudden increase in the number of people in the room, but Fumiko, who was still sleeping on the bed, suddenly sat up and looked at the three new strangers with a curious expression.

Fumiko's awakening immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Kaoru Otsuki, who is a mother. As a result, Yan Shao completely became a passerby.

Looking at Eleno and Caterina who were sitting on the edge of the bed teasing Fumiko, Yan Shao was a little helpless, but he was also a little envious, because Yan Shao has always liked children—————— provided that he doesn't cry, and he doesn't be a bear child...

"Fortunately, there is still one year to start an uprising, and after that, it will take another two to three years to defeat Beiyang and the Alliance, and then you can..."

At this time, a maid suddenly ran in from outside.

"Master, there's a message to pass to you outside, it seems to be very urgent..."After holding her knees and gasping for breath, the sweaty maid handed the note to Yan Shao.

A little strange what the news was so urgent, Yan Shao took the note and read it.

Then he finally understood why the rubber stocks, which had been very hot in history, suddenly collapsed, all because of the United States...

In the mid-1910s, the United States imposed a policy of restricting the consumption of rubber.

After the news reached London and Shanghai, rubber prices on the international market continued to fall in June, falling to nine shillings and threepence by the end of July, and then to six shillings, and the decline in rubber prices led to a decline in the share prices of global rubber companies.

The originally hot rubber stock market suddenly mourned, and floating corpses floated all over the Thames, and the Huangpu River in Shanghai was no less impressive. On July 21, 1910, Zhengyuan, Zhaokang, and Qianyu 3 money banks closed down (the 3 lost a total of more than 500 million taels), and the 5 money banks of Senyuan, Yuanfeng, Huifeng, Xiefeng, and Jinda, which were closely related to these 3 money banks, also closed down subsequently, so the situation was already very serious, but this was only the beginning...

Just the beginning... (To be continued......)
