Chapter 135: The Last Man to Take the Baton

The young man's prediction was very accurate, and his messenger entered the port of Amsterdam in a hurry before eight o'clock in the morning.

The young man's henchman captain hurried ashore, but was surprised to find that his boss was already waiting at the dock, his face was unusually solemn, and his eyes stared at him as if he was expecting something, as if he already knew what kind of bad news he was about to pass on to him.

After the two met and exchanged information, the young man sighed helplessly, even if he was unwilling, but the news brought back by his subordinates still made him finally confirm the worst guess in his heart - the tulips had indeed collapsed, and the merchants were rushing to Amsterdam in a fierce manner, and the speculative bubble concocted by their Dutch chaebol burst in advance before they could start.

Then you have to deal with it well!

The young man, the largest maritime chaebol in the Netherlands, was calm and composed at the critical moment, and he first informed the stout middle-aged man who was waiting in the dockyard like him to set sail, and told him to set off quickly and blockade the open sea.

The middle-aged man was also a decisive fellow, he didn't say a word when he heard the news, he directly took the privateer fleet and the Dutch navy, which was temporarily pulled up from the ship last night to prepare for sailing, and formed a tight blockade off the sea off the port of Amsterdam, according to the plan of the fat leader, delayed as much time as possible, and created an opportunity for the alliance merchants to sell tulips.

The second person to receive the news was the fat leader, his sixth sense was very accurate, but this time, although he also thought that last night's news might be true, but everyone had a fluke mentality, and he still had a glimmer of hope.

Now that he received the exact news, he no longer hesitated, and immediately together with the woman and the old man, they once again raised the price of tulips by controlling the exchange and creating fake news.

This hand is very vicious, people in the market saw that the price of tulips after a certain period of lull really began to rise again, completely according to the previous trajectory, the confidence in their hearts is more sufficient, the desire for greed is stronger, they have begun to look for investment opportunities again, want to buy tulips, with the help of the "ladder to the Garden of Eden", let themselves live a rich life, but all this, is only the beginning of the nightmare.

Under the manipulation of several big chaebols, people were pleasantly surprised to find that the tulips with limited supply in the original market seemed to have opened a source of goods somewhere, and tulips began to appear in the market.

The reason why the fat leaders are all old foxes in business, the reason why the stout middle-aged people delay time is because their tulip plan takes time to carry out, these guys did not rush all the inventory in their hands into the market, but chose a clever method similar to fraud, and sold it in stages and batches.

The first batch of tulips to enter the market is only one percent of their inventory, and the amount of these goods is not large, plus the pending order for sale last night, the first batch of two percent was released.

This amount of goods is just enough to stimulate people's greed, but there are many more people who will definitely not be able to buy the goods, so when these shares are swallowed up by the market, they once again lock the channels for selling tulips, and those who hear that there are goods and act a little slower to come to them, can only look at the sold out brands again and sigh.

In this case, there are always people who are unwilling, they start to get along, find a way, and do everything they can to buy tulips again.

The hard work paid off, and the doorway was really found.

For example, the owner of a tavern found a powerful person who served a big businessman through layers of twists and turns, and this "good Samaritan" finally charged a certain reasonable fee, and then sold 50 boxes of tulip bulbs to the tavern owner, and the owner naturally accepted the goods and left, because he knew that the small money paid could only be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the profits that the tulip appreciation would bring.

Slowly, such a situation continues to happen in the streets of Amsterdam, people who buy goods begin to selectively spread the news of how they buy goods, close to the relationship can also reveal a little, don't know about those people who usually don't deal with it, such a good opportunity to make a fortune, you must give yourself the closest people can.

The shrewd chaebols relied on this kind of ant moving sales, and the remaining tulip inventory was sold again within 4 hours, and they only had the last two percent left, even if they stopped now, they also made nearly 400% of the windfall profits in this speculation, and they didn't care about the life or death of the next successor, so it seems that Lao Wang is still too tender compared to these old ghosts.

At lunchtime, busy Amsterdam took a brief breath and regained a little calm, but in fact there was a dark tide surging, and people were waiting for some tulips to resume in the afternoon.

The Dutch navy, which was "acting" a naval battle, was holding on to the waters off the port of Amsterdam, blocking the route to the port tightly, and since the morning, they have successively intercepted some small spinnaker clippers with amazing speeds, apparently all of them are messengers.

The Dutch Navy stopped them all on the grounds of military action, and the officers and men of the Navy did not know what they were doing it for, but judging from the anxious and helpless look on the face of the Marshal of the Amsterdam Fleet, it should have been a last resort.

In the afternoon, the talented valves once again through the same skills in the morning, released the remaining adult in the last night's pending order goods to buy, and then the ants moved and sold one percent of the inventory, a total of two percent of the tulips, and then completely locked the source of sales channels, and refused to leak a single slight.

As for the last stocks, the big chaebols load this cargo and transfer it to Spain, Portugal, France and even Italy, although the main background of this world is based on the sea, but land transportation is also a commercial means, if it is to these countries, land transportation will be faster than sea transportation.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Amsterdam ushered in a lively hour, because the Dutch naval exercise was completed, and the merchants and messengers who had been waiting for a long time stopped in Amsterdam, which made the port of Amsterdam, which was originally very good in transshipment capacity and throughput, actually flooded for a while, forming a congestion, this chaos once again delayed the time for ships to enter the port, and by the time the merchants poured into the streets and rushed to the exchange, the market was closed.

The merchants anxiously stomped their feet and sought out their own networks, free markets, and bill-trading venues, which were not affected by the opening and closing of the market, and they were ready to find ways to recover or reduce their losses in these two areas.

But how could the paper contain the fire, and they were accompanied by various messenger ships, not only the Dutch merchants themselves, but also the offices of the great chambers of commerce of various countries in other countries, and the people who were still happily buying tulips during the day gradually learned the news.

At first, they didn't believe in this joke, which was not funny at all, but when more and more people talked about it, and even some merchants took the unbelievers directly to the dock and showed them a ship full of tulips, the people of Amsterdam began to be suspicious, began to be nervous, began to nervously check the inventory and delivery notes in their hands repeatedly, and the shadow of fear began to spread in their hearts.

The straw that broke the camel's back came at 7 p.m., when the chain merchants from Hamburg also arrived in Amsterdam, and they accelerated the spread of the news of the tulip crash.

Let go of the story of what happened in the Netherlands and go back to five o'clock in the afternoon in Amsterdam, six o'clock in Hamburg time and four o'clock in London time.

The time has come for Mary to launch a tulip sell-off plan in England 24 hours later, because at four o'clock in the afternoon, the London exchange will not close until two and a half hours, and now is a good time to trade.

You must know that this era has the concept of time difference, this hole was proposed by Takenaka, and it is also the last trick to use the time difference in Lao Wang's plan, which is the same as sniping tulips, which is a subtle part of his entire business war plan.

After Mary checked the time with Lao Wang on the team channel, she and Bergstone's men sold the tulips they purchased in Amsterdam on the exchange, and the unsuspecting London market was now the last stupid child to be kept in the dark, and at this time she swallowed the tulip inventory that originally belonged to the Swedish Navy without any hesitation, and at the same time happily thought that the capital in her hands had increased a little more.

But in London, unlike in Sweden, Mary and Mr. Manuel are foreigners who lack influence and can only rely on personal connections to persuade a few good friends to sell some of the tulips in their hands.

But this was not enough, and Manuel was asking Mary for advice when he saw that the market was not moving much, and that his anxious plan to sing empty tulips would not succeed in London.

Mary, on the other hand, suddenly smiled mysteriously, coughed lightly twice, and then pointed to the trading counter in the middle of the exchange that was surrounded by a circle for trading, trading, and filling in documents.

Manuel turned his head to look and saw several figures appearing, staggering, holding almost empty rum bottles in their hands, whining and talking drunken words.

This kind of drunkard can be seen everywhere in the London port area, which is not unusual, but the appearance at the counter of the exchange still delays people from doing their business, so a few employees of the exchange who maintain order come and prepare to drive the drunks away.

Suddenly, one of the drunks at the head of them shouted: "You stupid greedy ghosts, your favorite capital is going to die, tulips, this delicate devil's flower, it is going to be finished, you will lose all your money, this is the price of your deal with the devil!"

The play-like performance silenced the exchange for a full two seconds, and then burst into laughter.

This is a peculiar situation in England, where Shakespeare's hometown has never been short of frustrated theatre actors who often do things out of the ordinary in order to attract attention and attention, most often improvising in crowded places.

However, this kind of exaggerated performance plays little and little role in addition to adding jokes to people after tea and dinner, but they just enjoy it, and it may be more or less a vent for their unsatisfactory life.

Obviously, some of these frustrated actors are encountered in today's exchange, but their jokes are so bizarre that investing in tulips will be worth nothing?

The exchange personnel held back their laughter and set up the bad actors out the door, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed light-hearted because of this hilarious episode.

People put off their work for a while, began to talk briefly, then commented on the performances of the actors just now, made a few black humorous jokes that were the favorite of the English, and then moved on to the money-making plan.

Manuel looked at Mary and shook her head to indicate that her grandstanding could not cause panic in the market at all, and that if she didn't do something, the Empty Tulip Project might not be launched at this point in London.

He asked Mary, and Mary asked Wang, and Wang only said, "Let's watch a good show." ”

Mary was a little annoyed that the old king was selling off, so she snorted and ignored him, and after only telling Manuel what she had said, she began to stare at the quotation board in a daze, waiting for what the old king said.

At half past five in England time, the show really began.

Dutch merchants appeared at the exchange and put their tulips up for sale, and the Dutch merchants showed confidence and generosity under the explanation of the big boss, which was no different from when they were doing business in normal times, so they successfully delivered the tulips without arousing the slightest suspicion.

But there was a small episode, when the Dutch merchant was delivering the goods, and the English trading administrator at the counter said humorously: "What? Are you starting to think these flowers are devil's flowers?"

The Dutch merchant stared at him at a loss, thinking that the news had come, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and after a few embarrassing words, he ran away with his tail between his legs, while the Englishman next to him laughed because of this cold humor.

In less than an hour, more Dutch merchants went in and out of the London Exchange, constantly placing orders to sell the tulips in their hands, because of the time constraints, they had to complete the goal of selling tulips on the exchange, and the shipment reached half of the total.

In the end, they attracted some attention, but when the bell rang for the closing of the market, all the tulip goods in their hands had been turned into cash and checks, and the remaining half of the goods to England were disposed of by the merchants in the free market and the delivery of bills, and the Dutch chaebols were still the biggest winners in this tulip bubble.

In the evening, the newspaper came, and the crowd of messengers and merchants rushed to the port of London, and spread the news of the collapse to the last city in Lao Wang's plan, and here, it didn't take much effort to convince people that the words of the exaggerated actor came to people's minds, from eye-catching nonsense to Daigo's prophetic quotations, but the collapse had come, and there was no luck to tell...
