Chapter 141: Three wins
At first, Howard thought that Mei Mumu was just a nouveau riche who happened to get a fortune in Europe somehow, but as further exchanges continued, Howard was simply shocked.
Many of his ideas and ideas are simply not understood by the people of this era, and they cannot even understand a little.
But this Mr. Mei can not only understand, but also put forward some unique insights.
For example, maglev trains, such as single-person flyable armor, Howard has been ridiculed more than once by lawmakers who have the funds and government funds to get something practical because of these fantastical topics, saying that they are unrealistic fantasies, and asking him to get something practical - to put it bluntly, something that can be used in this war.
After Howard repeatedly used what he saw as 'even a pig can understand' to describe his ideas and the direction of his invention, Howard had to think that "genius is always not understood by the world".
Unexpectedly, here, a partner who was simply a godsend to him appeared.
Howard was simply ecstatic.
Genius is lonely!
It's a blissful thing to have a like-minded partner.
After finding a lawyer the next day, witnessed by the bank and the lawyer, and signing the power of attorney, Howard really regarded Mei Mumu as a brother.
This is a very satisfying cooperation for all three parties.
The banks got the gold they coveted the most, and with the imminent 'gold standard', 10 tonnes of gold was definitely a huge sum. With more than 10 million dollars, most of the gold still untouched, Chase Bank will be able to make more loans or investments.
After a day-long discussion, Howard valued the entire company at $4 million, and then sold 25% of the stock to Mr. Mae Strange for $1 million, all of which was settled in prime time.
In fact, instead of selling the gold, the shrewd Howard followed the advice of his accountant and borrowed a full $3 million from the bank against the gold, as well as the gold of Mei Mumu, the second guarantor.
For a time, Stark Industries' capital chain became extremely abundant.
In the bank's view, Mei Mumu is a super wronged boss.
Because by March 1942, the U.S. stock market had been in a long, long bear market. Stark Industries, which doesn't have any products to get its hands on, isn't worth four million at all.
Even Howard Stark himself was ashamed of this valuation, feeling that he had done a bad job.
The environment is desperate, with bad news coming from Europe almost every day. Not only the stock market, but also the entire United States, is permeated with an atmosphere of panic.
Only Mei, a second traverser, knows. The next month, in April 1942, the U.S. stock market began a 49-month bull market, with the stock market rising 158%.
The United States was actually one of the few countries that actually benefited from World War II, and because of its location in the middle of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, there was little damage to its homeland. And Germany, the economic power at that time, has been reduced to ruins.
Actually, money or something, Mei Mumu doesn't care at all.
He had already bought a large-cap index fund for $100,000, and he didn't have to do anything, as long as he waited until 2018, the fund would rise 5,100 times.
In fact, the only thing he had to believe was that the United States would win this victory.
He wanted to buy more, but the CSRC only bought him that much, because he was afraid that he would disrupt the order of the stock market. To put it bluntly, he is afraid that he will short the stock market......
As for this, many people may ask, where does the gold of plum wood come from?
When a supreme mage who knows how to teleport abandons his discipline and runs to World War II to steal the gold of the Germans, the ghost will miss!
During World War II, the Germans killed an innumerable number of Jews, conquered so many countries, and sacked many capitals. It can be said that the military spending of every German guy is stained with blood.
Mei Mumu is just taking a little bit of ill-gotten gains.
Compared to Howard and Chase's happiness, Mei Mumu is the real stealing pleasure. Of course, he knows that if he can't survive the attack of Thanos in 2018, once he dies, no matter how much wealth he has, he will be just a pile of waste paper.
As a person with a strong desire to survive, Umemuki never intended to put all his eggs in one basket. It's hard to come to the United States, of course, to tie the future Iron Man Tony Stark to his chariot.
At this time, Mei Mumu finally understood that Tony of Wei Mao in 2016 was so helpless when he mentioned a Mr. Mei - think about it, the guy who was supposed to be a partner actually became his father's best friend. What's even more ridiculous is that Mr. May is also a shareholder of Stark Industries. This kind of situation where he has to be a generation shorter than his peers, Tony estimates that there is an MMP in his throat.
Of course, as a savvy investor. Umemu asked Howard to add that fifty years later, he and his agents would have unconditional access to Stark Industries' latest generation of scientific research. That's shareholder welfare.
Howard in 1942, of course, could not have imagined that someone would be so insidious, and he would be smashed more than sixty years later. At this time, Howard was still single.
The market is cruel, unless the product is resold to the third world countries, the products of the backward generation will not be competitive in the market and will naturally be eliminated. Howard saw that Mei Mumu was so generous, and since it was the goods of the old generation anyway, he didn't mind flowing out.
After Umemumu signed a pledge not to export Stark Industries' old-generation technology to Europe, Howard generously changed the terms to allow Umemumu to fulfill this clause from now on.
He didn't know at all...... He was slaughtered by a seemingly kind traverser, and accidentally smashed himself to Tony Stark.
That's all for later. Mei Mumu borrowed money to invest in Stark Industries, and also made a reputation as an investor on Wall Street.
A large group of people who have not, whether they are liars or really so-called inventors, are trying to find Mei Mumu, the owner of the money, and rip out a sum of money.
At this time, after Mei Mumu casually voted for a few companies that he had an impression of in later life, he found Howard again.
"I don't care if there are any military-led projects that need to be invested in? I don't care if it's profitable or not, but I want to be on the line with the military. ”
Howard grimaced.
This is also the consistent routine of the American plutocracy. Simply making money, wealth is nothing more than a castle built on quicksand, and at some point the castle will collapse. Only by controlling, or having strong influence on the side of the government, can you ensure that your wealth will increase, at least not be inexplicably encroached upon.
