Chapter 259: The Rothschilds
"Bang!"
Jingzhi's glass wine glass was shattered, and the precious red wine sprinkled red red stained the handmade Jingzhi Persian carpet laid on the floor!
"Why is this happening? Why? Didn't the economic and financial experts trained within the family say that it would take two or three months for the economic collapse of the United States to happen? Then why is the New York stock market falling across the board today?" Walker Rothschild looked at several family staff members and asked angrily and loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In particular, at the beginning of the 19th century, after the five members of the Rothschild family, known as the Roche Five Tigers, achieved amazing achievements in Europe, the Rothschild family was divided into five factions, competing with each other and competing for the seat of the head of the family!
Although the Rothschilds used five broken arrows in their family crest to remind their people to unite and help each other, reasonable competition is also a way to cultivate the best people in the family!
Therefore, if Walker's trip to the United States does not bring a lot of benefits to the family, then after returning to Europe, his ability will be questioned by the family, and the position of patriarch will never be his turn again! This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Walker!
All these years, wherever he goes. He was greeted with envy and respectful eyes. Walker Rothschild was accustomed to the deference of others! In the same way, his desire for power in his heart reached its peak, and he desperately wanted to ascend to the position of the patriarch of the Rothschild family, which was comparable to the status of the Queen of England, the Emperor of Germany, and the Tsar of Russia!
In order to achieve this goal, he will never allow the affairs of the United States to be beyond his control!
"Sir, we have already found out! Today's sudden sharp drop in the Wall Street stock market is due to the fact that Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon, DuPont, and other major families in the United States almost simultaneously sold all the railroads, steel, and other industrial stocks in their hands! Hundreds of millions of dollars of stocks smashed into the market. It caused a large number of panic among stockholders, so there was a large-scale sell-off!"
After a while, Walker's mood began to calm down! In the end, Jingying, who was cultivated by the Rothschild family, his mental quality is still quite good!
"They're strange! Even if they could see something, they wouldn't have been able to sell all their stocks on the same day!
Thinking of this, Walker felt that it was unlikely! There were many deceitful things in the mall, and these families were far inferior to their Rothschilds. But it is worth more than 100 million. It is also a top family in the United States, and even in the world, it is a first-class family! It is impossible for such families to trust each other unreservedly.
Therefore, even if they see the crisis behind the rapid economic development of the United States, they will not be able to tell anyone else. But now this kind of thing that Walker thought was impossible to happen, he just happened again! Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the actions of the major families to sell their stocks almost simultaneously this morning!
"Sir, we don't know why. But I heard that it was the day before yesterday. The main members of these big families all attended the drinking party organized by Starcross, the general manager of the American Resources Company! As for what happened during the drinking party, no one except the major families knew about it, but according to the attendees, when these people left, their faces were not very good!
After listening to his words, Walker's god was stunned!
"Resources of the Americas. The American Consortium! Starcross!" Walker muttered in a low voice! As a member of the Rothschild family, he was naturally very concerned about the affairs of the business world! Especially Starcross, who was known as the luckiest guy of the nineteenth century. and the American consortium, which is now known as the largest consortium in the United States, but which has only risen for less than three years!
"It seems that they told Morgan and Rockefeller the news!, but what good would they gain by doing so!" Walker Rothschild thought to himself.
In fact, it is no wonder that he could not have imagined that the reason why Huo Shan revealed this news was that he wanted to cause the rapid decline of the US stock market, and only if it fell more and faster, the more profits he would get by using $300 million to short the United States, and the chaos caused by the outbreak of the economic crisis would also delay the mobilization of troops by the Americans and the speed of attacking Huo's army!
Moreover, under the economic crisis, the income of the United States will decrease, and the army they use to attack will be forced to reduce the size because there is not enough war funds, and Wu Guangzong and they will be under less pressure at that time!
Of course, all of this has only one purpose, that is, to do everything possible to weaken the United States and strike at the United States! To fight this only country with the potential to compete with Huo Jiajun for control of the Pacific Ocean within 20 years! To buy time for the development of Huo Jiajun!
"Sir! Now the stocks of all the companies on Wall Street are falling rapidly, and the United States has no intention of saving the market! Do you think we are also throwing away the stocks in our hands now?" After graduating from Cambridge University, Martinson joined the Rothschild family bank to work, and in the past ten years, he has climbed to the position of general manager of the London branch with his own achievements! He is the top financial talent of this era in terms of experience and ability!
So on Walker's trip to the United States, the Rothschilds specially sent him over!
After hearing his words, Walker's expression was shocked, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face! In the US stock market, the Rothschild family has already invested nearly $400 million! Originally, according to his idea, he wanted to keep these shares for next month, and then sell them all out little by little!
At that time, they will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a large amount of money when the stock market reaches a high level, and at the same time, they will be able to take the opportunity to take short positions when the stock market is falling! Finally, they will use the large amount of money they have earned from the stock market to buy the stocks of the major American companies that have fallen to the bottom! At that time, the Rothschild family will be able to regain control of the American market, which was voluntarily abandoned by the family in 1872!
But now his plans were all disrupted by the sudden drop in the New York stock market! But if he was asked to sell the stock in his hand now, Walker's heart was really unwilling!
"Sir! We are not to blame for not completing the family's mission this time! After all, we have just been in the United States for a short time, and the family's speculation about the American economy is inherently wrong, so it is not our fault! I believe that the family elders will not be dissatisfied with you because of the failure of this operation! Now, our key is to keep the family's wealth invested in the Wall Street stock market!" Martineson quietly took a few steps forward, walked into Walker's side and whispered.
Having worked in the Rothschild family bank for more than ten years and climbed to his current high position, Martinessen's ability to observe words and perceptions is naturally not weak! And he also knows some of the Rothschild family's insiders!
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Walker Rothschild's eyes lit up. To him, no matter how much money he has, it is just a number, and gaining enviable power is his goal! If he can be spared from the punishment of the family this time! and keep his position in the family, then even if all the $400 million in his hand is folded in the United States, then he will not feel the slightest discomfort!
"And, sir! Just now I heard a friend in the United States say that now the Chinese army has reached Chicago and Houston! Now the Americans are preparing to gather forces to resist their military invasion! In addition, this war is still taking place in the richest central and eastern regions of the United States. Therefore, this war will cause unimaginable damage to the US economy! Therefore, the decline of the US stock market is a foregone conclusion! We should withdraw all the family funds as soon as possible!"
"Okay, listen to you! Now you immediately inform our stock brokers in the stock market, and tell them to be sure to sell all the stocks in our hands today!" Walker Rothschild, who knew the dangers of war, did not hesitate at all after listening to Martin's words, and hurriedly gave a new order.
"I didn't expect those Chinese troops to be so powerful, they actually hit the banks of the Mississippi River in such a short time, and forced the Americans to not even care about the economic crisis in their own country!" Walker muttered as Martineson looked at the figure rushing out.
With the sell-off of a large number of stocks controlled by the Rothschild family, the decline rate of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street has created a small high! More and more people have begun to believe that the decline in the stock market is a precursor to the outbreak of an economic crisis in the United States, so those who have invested in the stock market can no longer sit still! A large number of people have begun to use telephone and telegram to convey the news to their friends!
News of the collapse of the New York stock market began to spread from New York to all parts of the United States! And the sāo chaos caused by the plummeting stock market began to show signs in major cities in the United States!
At this time, the United States was already on the verge of chaos!
Of course, at this time, there were also people who hoped that the United States would be able to come up with money to save the market and stop the continuous decline of the stock market, but it was a pity that the United States Federal Government did not notice everything that was happening in New York! Until June 1, the New York Stock Exchange closed without the slightest indication of it!
Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this kind of zhèngfu! But before they could vent it, a news from the West stunned them!
"The Chinese have occupied Chicago and Houston!" I don't know where the news came from, but it spread to almost every major American city in a short period of time!
