Chapter 62: He Works for Me

It doesn't matter which country, whether it is an industrial country or an agricultural country. The price of agricultural products is definitely one of the most important factors in the economic stability of a country. In 1928, the Soviet Union used price competition to force down the price of lumber in the United States. This scene can be said to be the beginning of the economic crisis in the United States.

This was followed by a surplus of wheat in Canada. The U.S. mainland is forcibly driving down the price of agricultural products. The decline in agriculture represents an inevitable economic crisis. Finance deteriorated further. A speculative frenzy led to a massive withdrawal of money from Europe, followed by a panicked Wall Street stock market crash in October 1929. Since then, the United States has entered a four-year period of the Great Depression.

The time of the film world is now 1928, and the price competition in the former Soviet Union is just beginning to show its head. There may be a few economists who see some red flags, but no one realizes that this is the beginning of an economic crisis in the United States.

One day in September, a special economic essay appeared in the New York Times. According to the paper, the U.S. economy is currently in a false boom. Overcapacity in factories and speculation have caused flaws in the flow of funds in the financial system. The entire U.S. economy and society is already on the edge of a precipice. All it takes is a tiny spark to trigger the collapse of the entire economic market.

As soon as the paper was published, it caused a lot of discussion on Wall Street. But the vast majority of people dismiss this as nonsense. There are a handful of forward-thinking speculators who see the truth. But they invariably chose to remain silent, and even joined in the verbal and written criticism of the author of the paper.

Capitalists are always selfish. This sentence is vividly displayed at this moment. No one wants to stand up and warn the United States. Every understanding capitalist is secretly calculating how to profit from this crisis. As for the general public, it is simply impossible to see the underlying causes. This is also the reason why the vast majority of people are unable to protect themselves in the economic crisis.

The impact of the paper is not as great as imagined. But the heat caused is enduring. People are talking about who this 'wonderful' economist really is. Dare to predict the collapse of the US economy at such a time. At this time, Americans had already begun to have the kind of pride that was peculiar to later Americans. They think everything is perfect in their kingdom.

When they found out that the author of the paper was actually Henry. The son of the boss of the New York Times. I was all happy. New York's famous swinger suddenly turned into an economist and predicted the collapse of the American economy.

This has provided news material for many tabloids. Countless tabloids began to orchestrate Henry.

In fact, if he wrote an article about the existence of wizards, it might be easier for people to believe it. After all, we all know that Henry is an expert in this area. ”

"Playboy held back for years to make a splash, and he 'did it' to make him known to the whole of New York City."

Even the town hall came out to clarify. There is nothing wrong with the economy in the United States, and everyone can work with peace of mind. Don't cause panic. There was even a warning to Henry.

......

Henry's father regretted publishing his son's paper at this time. He wanted to stir up a topic and boost the sales of the newspaper. But now he seems to have made his son the laughing stock of all New York. It made him feel gloomy too.

At this time, however, Henry made an even more surprising move. He announced in a high-profile manner that he would participate in the New York election. Compete for the position of New York City Councilor. As soon as this statement came out, the whole of New York was once again boiling for Henry.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Henry's father could no longer stand his son's 'nonsense'. In his opinion, now his two sons have become the laughing stock of New York City.

"Do you think I'm messing around? Father. You used the power of your entire family to help me with Hunter's election, but you told me that this was nonsense? ”

"You're different from your brother?"

"Of course it's different. Father, my brother is now the laughing stock of all of New York City. He even faced prosecution from the Ministry of Justice. And I'm just a laughing stock for the time being, just wait and see. Father, I'll let you take it back yourself. ”

Henry let go of his harsh words and left the house alone. In fact, he didn't have the slightest confidence in his own psyche. Everything was done according to the mysterious mage's instructions. Now he just hopes that this will happen soon. Is it an economic crisis, or something else? He was almost exhausted of the pressure.

The heavy-hearted Henry didn't notice that several tall guys were following him from a distance. Passing through an alley, Henry felt himself being pushed hard. Suddenly fell into the alley. Before he could react, he felt a punch hit him directly in the ribs. The cry for help just about to exit turned into a painful hum.

"Who do you work for?"

"What? All of New York knew I didn't need a job. Henry didn't understand the other man's question.

"Ahh Another heavy punch hit him in the ribs. Henry felt like tears were about to fall.

"What do you mean? If I want money, I have two hundred dollars on me. Take it all. ”

"Who do you work for?" Again, that's the same sentence. Not even the slightest change in tone. The indifference sent chills to Henry's mind.

"I don't understand what you're saying?" Henry's heart had begun to waver. Now he can be said to be working for Lin Xuan. But he couldn't give the answer. It was a wizard after all. Maybe you'll die if you say it yourself. The danger of wizards was still higher in Henry's mind than the crisis in front of him. What's more, these people don't look like wizards, which means that they are just secular forces. Henry's brain teaser tries to find his enemy in reality. But nothing was gained. As a rich second generation, he suddenly found that too many people had reason to regard him as an enemy.

Another punch was struck to Hunter's body. The pain was so painful that he couldn't speak. He is pampered, how can he have suffered such torture. And the other party's methods are very sophisticated. A pair of fists were surprisingly heavy, and all of them were hit in some extremely sensitive parts, and he was obviously extremely familiar with torture. Henry felt like he was going to faint with a punch. He began to weigh whether he had passed the current hurdle first, or whether he had directly shaken out Lin Xuan's affairs. And the most important thing is that even if he tells the truth, the other side probably won't believe it.

Just when Henry's spirit and body were tangled and painful. A voice came from behind the crowd.

"He works for me."
