Texas declared independence eight years ago at the instigation of pro-American forces, and is ready to make a decision to annex the United States at any time. And the United States is also making various preparations, and when the time is ripe, it will accept Texas to join, and by the way, defeat Mexico and gain more territory.

Polk, the Democratic candidate, was well aware that Mexico would not be able to defend its far-flung northern provinces of New Mexico and California in the event of war between the country and Mexico, which was in line with the Democratic Party's clear mandate to expand its borders. When he became president in this year's election, he immediately had to carry out expansion.

However, after the discovery of a major gold mine in California, Mexico, last year, Texans were surprised to find that if they were Mexican nationals, they could go directly to pan for gold. It just so happens that Mexico has always refused to recognize the independence of Texas and is still emphasizing that it is its own territory. So many Texans took the initiative to go to Mexico to get ID documents, and then rushed to the gold mines in high spirits.

Gradually, the atmosphere throughout Texas began to shift, and more and more people were re-identifying themselves as Mexicans.

Finding out that the Texans were so undisciplined, the expansionists in the United States couldn't help but be anxious, if Texas once again considered itself part of Mexican territory, then what reason was there to go to war with Mexico and seize their land?

Therefore, the Democrats in the southern part of the United States had no choice but to act in advance and let some pro-American estate owners in Texas openly shout the slogan of joining the United States. Naturally, the Mexican government was dissatisfied, and sent an army to Texas to control the scene.

The pro-American Belt and Road Party in Texas. Immediately clamoring that he had been illegally invaded and brutally suppressed by the Mexican powers, that there had been "bloodshed", and that he had to send a signal for help to the great United States of liberal democracy.

As a result, the Democrats in the United States immediately introduced a bill in Congress. Demanded a declaration of war on Mexico and the swift dispatch of troops to support the free and independent "Republic of Texas".

"It turns out that everything that happened in advance was caused by unscrupulous Texans. ”

Ji Aojian finished reading the news and asked, "It is very likely that the United States will go to war with Mexico immediately, and this is the major negative news for our railway stocks?"

"yes. Ji Mengying said, "What we want to build is a transcontinental railway. Now that war is about to break out in the Midwest of North America, the reaction of ordinary people must be, how can this railway be built?"

"This kind of thinking. It's a complete misunderstanding. ”

"Although it is a misunderstanding, it is enough to send shareholders into a panic. Ji Mengying continued, "The stock price has fallen freely this morning, and the original issue price was $100. It once rose to one hundred and twenty dollars under the pursuit of the market. But now it's down to about $70. ”

"It's so miserable. ”

"Then I heard some of the most prominent brokers discuss further shorting the stock in the afternoon, at least below $50, and try to hit $20. ”

"They're so ruthless. Ji Aojian shook his head, and then said, "Then you will take all the orders in the afternoon and suck back all the stocks they threw out." ”

"That's what I thought. But it seems a little difficult to eat it all. ”

"How come, do they have so many shares in their hands?"

"They're using the technique of intervals. You can sell far more than you have on hand, and as long as you hit the stock price to a low point and then close the position, you will not default. Ji Mengying persuaded, "Judging from our existing funds, there are indeed some shortcomings. Anyway, we've cheated quite a bit, so let's withdraw as soon as possible. ”

Ji Aojian refused, "How can we withdraw, buying on dips is the most basic criterion for making stocks, and this is a great opportunity for us to repurchase." ”

"What's the point of buyback, do you want to open a century-old store?"

Ji Mengying suddenly remembered something, and looked him up and down, "You are now seriously promoting the construction of the railway every day, do you really want to build this railway for the Americans?"

"It's not that I want to build the railway, it's that if I don't make a precedent appearance, the public will suspect that we're here to cheat money. Ji Aojian sighed, "Moreover, in this era, Americans have a very high spirit of hard work, and there are some people who have bought shares of the transcontinental railway, who are very enthusiastic about this railway, and have been urging me to start construction." If I procrastinate, they'll ask for a shareholder meeting and another manager to run the project, and then I won't be able to control the company's finances. ”

"Since you still have control over your finances, then quickly transfer all the cash to the VIP accounts of the European banks, and let's launder the money and leave." ”

"No, there is no need to go. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "Our company is a sunrise industry, the project is running very smoothly, and there is abundant cash flow, the prospect is really good, why give up? As long as we survive this round of decline, we can pull up the stock price and create a new high." By that time, we will have the largest amount of capital. ”

"You're saying it lightly, but the problem is that there aren't enough funds to eat all the stocks right now. ”

"All the cash on the company's accounts is for you to take over?"

"It's not enough. ”

"So. Ji Aojian opened a safe and took out a thick pile of securities, "These are the best stocks in the current market, you can use them to cash out now and see if they are enough?"

"Huh," Ji Mengying flipped through the securities in front of her, "Why do I think these stocks are familiar?"

"Of course, it's familiar, these are the stocks you've been hyping up lately. ”

"When did you follow my actions and buy stocks?"

"Ever since I found out that you are the god of stocks, I have often encountered assassinations, and I feel that there is a play. Ji Aojian replied, "So I opened a special account and asked Sarah to follow you to buy stocks outside the market." ”

"No wonder, I always think that the company account is not very cashy, and I think you use it to buy machine tools and guns. ”

"Those have been bought, but it's not in a hurry, it's more important to follow you to buy stocks and make money. "Ji Ao Kendo," Sarah also took out her savings to follow suit, and her personal wealth seemed to have more than doubled. ”

Ji Mengying was surprised, "So she used me as a weather vane?"

So when she saw that the end of the world was coming, the first thing she thought of was going out for a good meal, which is the psychology of not having bad money in hand. ”

"But it's not okay to blindly take over in the afternoon, and now the market sentiment is still very pessimistic, if those guys are determined to force short, the outcome is still unpredictable. ”

"So we're going to change market expectations. "To spread positive news about the good prospects of our railway." ”

"How do you spread the word?"

"We want to tell the public that as a long-distance railway across continents, as long as it is partially built, it has great value, and it is not the kind of short-distance railway between two cities that cannot be used as long as there is something on the way. "Ji Ao Kendo," In particular, it should be pointed out that the entire eastern half of our railway is in the United States, and it will not be affected by the war at all. The expected construction period of the eastern section of the railway alone is more than ten years, and there is no need to worry about whether the western section of the railway can be completed at this time. ”

"Anything else?"

"The current president of the United States is a Whig representing the northern industrial states and does not support the expansionist policies of the Southern Democratic Party, so the likelihood of the United States declaring war on Mexico is not high, at least not so soon. ”

Ji Aojian thought for a while, "Maybe there will be news from Washington soon, as long as Congress does not pass a proposal to declare war immediately, it will be able to calm down the market and re-examine and discover the value of our stocks." (To be continued......)
