Chapter 426: Concept Stocks
"Your Excellency, please sign these documents. ”
Ji Aojian held a stack of papers full of various terms and solemnly placed them in front of his sister.
"What kind of documents are these?"
"Oh, I recently got a job and registered a railroad company in the United States to build a railroad across North America. Ji Aojian said lightly, "The document here is that the California government authorized the company to allow the construction of the terminus of the railroad to Sacramento. ”
Ji Qingsu was surprised, "Didn't you say that we were going to build a north-south railway to block the US plan to connect the east-west railway?"
"Building railways is just a concept. Ji Aojian explained, "In this era of industrialization, the hottest stocks in the United States are canal stocks and railroad stocks, and my company can go to the New York Stock Exchange to issue bonds and stocks if it has the right to build railroads. ”
"So, you're going to the U.S. stock market to make money?"
"That's right. Ji Aojian said proudly, "I have been planning for several months, and I have finally prepared this plan to use concept stocks to get involved in the financial market, which is going to be practiced." ”
"Oh, so are you going to empty the glove money alone?"
"The fourth sister will go with me. ”
Ji Qingsu immediately stood up and held his hand, "Brother, congratulations." ”
"Congratulations on what?"
"In this spring season, the two of you have the dream of making a fortune and go to the largest financial city in the Americas together, which can be regarded as a honeymoon trip. ”
"Xiao Su, you're thinking too optimistic!" Ji Aojian was stunned for a long time. Only then did he react, "It's still a long way to go, even farther than the distance from Dream City to New York." ”
......
Hold up a bunch of authorization documents. Ji Aojian walked out with great ambition, and his partner was waiting here.
He looked around for a while, "What about the carriage I hired, why is it missing?"
"What's the use of asking for a carriage, not to mention walking so slowly, you have to find food for the horses along the way. Ji Mengying waved her hand, "The two of us walked all the way over." Faster than anything else. ”
"It's fine. ”
Ji Mengying then pointed to a huge package, "Then this luggage will be carried by you." ”
"Wait. The luggage weighed almost two hundred pounds. After Ji Aojian put on his back, he immediately felt bad, "No country's full equipment and individual soldier load are far from being able to compare with this weight." ”
"Are you an ordinary person? That's a lot of weight for you. It is simply not there. ”
"What kind of luggage did you bring with you, and why did it weigh so much?"
"Two tents, two sets of daily necessities, two sets of knives and firearms, and some special items that can make you look more like an American than an American. Ji Mengying introduced, "Attention, our goal." It took a month to walk to New York. ”
Ji Aojian was startled, "It's only a month's time." I'm going to have to carry this load across North America?"
"Don't worry, I've calculated that if we walk 10 miles an hour, 10 hours a day, we'll be on time to the East Coast of the United States. ”
"You're light, ten miles per hour, three times as fast as a normal person walking!"
"Back then, the second sister only took ten days to rush home from Kunlun Mountain. Ji Mengying taught, "You have to be ambitious, you can't even be compared to a girl in a hurry." ”
Ji Aojian was speechless, "Let's go." ”
......
Unfortunately, once you hit the road, you first have to climb the Sierra Nevada, then the mountains and then the mountains, until you cross the Rocky Mountains, which is a grueling journey of hundreds of miles.
After the entire Cordillera mountain system, there is a vast desert.
"Fourth sister, we walked along the road and saw such a magnificent canyon and such a vast desert, which are all unique natural landscapes in North America. ”
Ji Mengying nodded, "This kind of exotic scene is indeed rare, it feels like being on another planet." ”
"I feel that way, too. Ji Aojian said happily, "Fourth sister, since we came to another planet, this doesn't mean that we have ascended, so can we start again?"
"How do you want to start over?"
"With this set of luggage on my back, can I consider starting over with someone else on a new planet?"
"There's no need. Ji Mengying refused, "I think it's better to start and finish well." ”
"Fourth sister, can you understand me, I have carried the bumpy and rugged journey in the mountains, such a flat desert, can't you carry it for a few days?"
"In that case," Ji Mengying blinked, "then I'll teach you a trick, and you can walk with an empty body in no time." ”
Ji Aojian said happily, "You're finally willing to take over?"
"If you think so, aren't we on another planet?"
"yes. ”
"You think the gravity of this planet is twice that of Earth. Ji Mengying said seductively, "Your luggage is the same as your weight, which means that you are in double gravity environment." As long as you think about it, aren't you walking empty now?"
Ji Aojian was stunned, "Your idea is really creative......
"I'm now discovering a new problem. Ji Mengying ignored him, "Since there are such steep canyons and such harsh deserts all the way, how did the transcontinental railway be built?" ”
"We're not really going to build railways, we're just going to speculate on concept stocks. ”
"But in history, wasn't it true that transcontinental railways were built later?"
"Historically, there were a large number of Chinese laborers involved in the transcontinental railroad, and almost every American railroad tie had a Chinese laborer buried under it. Ji Ao Kendao, "You should know that as long as there are projects in this world with the participation of Chinese, there is no reason why it cannot be repaired." ”
"I see, this railway was really built like this. ”
So this transcontinental railway is known as one of the seven wonders of the world after the era of the Industrial Revolution. ”
......
After crossing the Mississippi River, you will reach the heart of the Americans.
Ji Aojian disguised himself as an American, and conducted public relations with the local government and parliament in the states he passed along the way.
"Distinguished Senators, railroads are the means of transportation that will lead the times, and it will lead our lovely America to the four modernizations and realize the God-given destiny of God. ”
"Our company is determined to build a railroad across the United States and connect the two oceans. From then on, ships on the east coast no longer had to go around the whole of South America and take six months to reach the west coast. Just along this transcontinental railway, in seven days, in just seven days, New Yorkers can get to California to pan for gold!"
"And, gentlemen, you know, that the British are working with the Mexicans to build a railroad from Canada to Mexico City. If we do not interrupt this evil plan, we may lose the opportunity to occupy the West Coast land forever, so this transcontinental railroad must be built from a patriotic point of view. ”
"You say that patriotism can't be eaten? Okay, I still have a check here, let's divide it. ”
"Now, you can authorize the company to get the right to operate the railway. ”
With a stack of authorization certificates in his hand, Ji Aojian walked out silently.
Ji Mengying frowned, "Why don't you just throw the check in their faces, and talk to them about patriotism?"
"I thought that under the influence of patriotism, some PR costs could be reduced. Ji Aojian sighed, "Facts have proved that talking about patriotism is completely superfluous." ”
......
A month later, two representatives of the American Transcontinental Railroad Company arrived in New York with certificates of authorization from all state governments along the entire line.
"Let me ask, why did you register the name of the company's legal representative as Gerif?"
"Ji Shui is surging, Kunlun is towering, Ji Ruifu is the meaning of 'Ji Shui' in English. ”
"I see. Ji Mengying looked at him and said, "Then Mr. Gillieve, which luxury hotel are we going to stay in?"
"I haven't made the money yet, what kind of luxury hotel to live in. Ji Aojian shook his head, "Just find a roadside hotel to stay in." ”
"You're too saving, isn't it?"
"It's not a province. Ji Aojian snorted, "We could have continued to set up tents outside the city, and even the money for the small hotel could be waived. (To be continued......)
