Chapter 133: The Last Madness
If you want to do the calculations, you have to use a steam engine to drive it, rotate the gears and something.
However, the main god space is not the main world after all, and the laws are incomplete, although a steam engine can be assembled in it, but without water, coal, air pressure or anything, it is impossible to run.
Then hand-shake, Zhao Dagui has the ability to possess the spirit gold, so he possessed a hundred kilograms of spirit gold nuggets, and then used the spirit gold nuggets to transform into his own portrait, and used the hand-cranked analysis machine to replace the drive of the steam engine.
It seems that the early computers have always been hand-cranked, and Zhao Dagui can be regarded as following the trend.
If Zhao Dagui is asked to do it himself, it will be very cumbersome, and it will be too late in time, but fortunately, he can find someone to help in this matter.
Zhao Dagui found someone to go to the bill of lading transaction site made by various commercial banks, secretly recorded the price and transaction information, fed back to himself, and then combined with the customs declaration data of various commercial banks, these are ready-made raw data.
If an excellent mathematician analyzes these data, he can calculate the inventory and profitability of these commercial banks in real time, Li Xinlan and his disciple Xu Wenqiang can do this, but now there are dozens or hundreds of commercial banks, and it is too late to calculate so much data.
Zhao Dagui asked Xu Wenqiang to be responsible for designing the data calculation scheme and formula, etc., and then found someone to record the data in the required way to the perforated paper tape style that could be input into the analysis machine.
To make perforated paper tape, you don't need much mathematical ability, but you also need to have a certain amount of mathematical knowledge and be able to act according to Xu Wenqiang's command.
Zhao Dagui now has a lot of capable people under his command, so he asked several scholars from the Oriental Academy to come over to help, and then asked Zhao Xiaohu, Zhao Xiaomei and more than a dozen students to come over to help, using crowd tactics to make and read the data of the perforated paper tape.
After these perforated paper tapes are made, Zhao Dagui uses the spirit gold ability to make a gold sheet as thin as paper, copy it, and then take it to the main god space, and input it into the analysis machine;
A complete data analysis chain has been completed, for Xu Wenqiang and others, as long as they say that they have found a master to assemble the analysis machine, but because it is confidential, they can't take it out, so they can only use it secretly.
Xu Wenqiang is an extremely shrewd person, knowing that this matter must be boring, according to the technical difficulty of the analysis machine, it is impossible for someone to produce all the parts so quickly and assemble a practical machine.
However, because he was Zhao Dagui's subordinate, and there was no way to verify it, he could only bury his doubts in his heart first, only thinking about finding an opportunity to find out the situation later.
Next, Xu Wenqiang and Li Xinlan came up with a set of data analysis programs, and then used the analysis machine to calculate and obtain a large amount of useful data, so that Dagui Commercial Bank could obtain detailed data on the entire Shanghai trade situation, and also had an in-depth understanding of the buying and selling of the bill of lading market that no one else had.
Taking advantage of this advantage, Zhao Dagui and Xu Wenqiang became expert traders, suddenly speculated the price of commodities, and quickly sold them after obtaining profits, and gradually became market makers in the bill of lading market.
Moreover, Zhao Dagui and others are not only buyers and sellers of bills of lading, but also one of the providers of bills of lading, taking this opportunity to sell their own silk, factory silk, tea and foreign cloth at a high price to make huge cash profits.
In September, the bill of lading transaction in Shanghai reached its peak, in stark contrast to the increasing number of foreign fabrics shipped from England to China, and even the accumulation of foreign cloth stocks from southern ports such as Guangzhou.
At the same time, the Chinese people around Shanghai and Suzhou have bought enough foreign cloth, and have no intention of spending money to buy it again, and the shortcomings of foreign cloth such as undurable and inconvenient dyeing are gradually widely recognized by consumers.
However, almost all businessmen were blinded by the heat of the bill of lading market, that is, Wu Jianzhang, Jardine Matheson and other extremely cautious businessmen also devoted themselves to the bill of lading business, and also hoarded a large amount of foreign cloth, just wanting to make a lot of money.
Lin Aqin, who was in the ascending line, had always been known for his boldness and adventure, and when others hoarded a piece of foreign cloth, he was eager to hoard ten or twenty horses, and he knew from the recklessness of the inventory in Zhao Dagui's hand that the inventory in his hand would reach a huge extent.
In mid-September, under the influence of various objective conditions, various commodities in the bill of lading market suddenly had some strange changes, high and low, fluctuating a lot, but on the whole it went in a downward direction.
Many mathematicians at the Dagui firm watched this change from the sidelines.
At this time, the scale of transactions is becoming larger and larger, and the data is increasing, and relying on only one analysis machine gives people a feeling of more and more powerlessness.
"The situation in the market is getting more and more chaotic, and the data we analyze is becoming more and more distorted. During a discussion with Zhao Dagui, Xu Wenqiang complained.
"Since it's distorted, don't do it. Zhao Dagui thought for a while and said: "We don't really want to make a fortune by the bill of lading market, so far this level is already good, we should start to shrink and clean up the inventory in our hands." ”
"But..."Xu Wenqiang wanted to open his mouth to object, but then found that he had no way to object.
During this period of time, the heat of the bill of lading market has affected many people, and even Xu Wenqiang, a chess player, has gradually entered the game, and his mind has gradually become hot, and he just wants to keep doing this kind of transaction.
It wasn't until Zhao Dagui reminded him that he remembered that they had entered this market, and the purpose of paralyzing other merchants had been achieved, and it was pointless to continue to stay.
"According to the data we have got, it will take another ten days for the real cliff-like decline to begin, and wouldn't it be better for us to hold on until that time?
In that case, you can at least earn tens of thousands of dollars more. Xu Wenqiang said unwillingly.
"It's just a little money. Always remember that you should never try to be perfect in the mall, and retreat decisively when it's time to retreat. Zhao Dagui shook his head decisively and said, "That little money, don't make it." ”
Xu Wenqiang was not particularly willing, but he also knew that Zhao Dagui was very worried about the risks, so he agreed to get out as soon as possible and deal with the survival and bill of lading in his hand as soon as possible.
From this day on, Dagui Commercial Bank intends to clean up the inventory of goods in its hands, and even the bills of lading of other merchants that were obtained before to be a bookmaker have been gradually cleaned up.
Just when Dagui Commercial Bank was secretly arranged, a big event occurred that alarmed the whole of Shanghai.
"In the past few days, something has been wrong, and some people have been hanging around our factory. One day at the end of September, Zhang Meng found Zhao Dagui and said in a low voice.
