mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 445

After Jesse Livermore went back, he called Abraham Cohen.

Not long after, someone came with a wagon full of hay and quietly transported the corpse away.

Only then did Jesse Livermore dare to enter Zhao Chuanxin's office, but he still felt a chill in the back of his head.

He said: "Boss, have you selected any investment projects?"

"Well, I have to invest in the ones I draw the line, and I need to focus on the ones I circled."

Jesse Livermore took a quick look and circled: Gillette razors (personal care), Coca-Cola (drinks), Bayer (aspirin), Ford (cars), General Motors (cars), Chrysler, Union Pacific Railroad, Northern Railroad, Edison Electric, American Electric Light Company, Shell Oil, Kraft Company, Carnegie Confectionery Company, Union Juice Company, Philips Aviation...

There are a lot of circles, but there are more lines behind them.

It involves the fields of automobile, catering, aerospace, medicine, clothing, retail, energy and so on.

Jesse Livermore was stunned: "Boss, are you sure you want to invest so widely?"

"Of course, especially those companies in the heavy industry are must-invest projects."

Because the stock price of United Copper has plummeted, and even the entire steel industry has fallen sharply, it is an excellent investment opportunity at this time.

"But." Jesse Livermore pointed at Philips Airlines: "Airplanes crash every now and then, but no one with a fortune dares to ride in it. What's the future of investing in this? It's better than cotton futures." gone."

At this time, aircraft technology and industry have not yet been fully developed, and most people have not realized the commercial potential of aircraft and are still focusing on traditional manufacturing industries.

Zhao Chuanxin knocked on the table: "There are still a few aircraft manufacturing companies, all of which will invest in me, even if they lose money. I want to keep a reserve fund. In the future, whenever there is a new aircraft company, no matter in the United States or in In Europe, we must invest more, and don’t let any one go, no matter whether we lose money or not.”

Yes, you are rich and willful.

Jesse Livermore stopped persuading, and just asked: "The funds we can use now total 1.67 million US dollars. How much do you want to invest, boss?"

Jesse Livermore's heart trembles every time he thinks of $1.67 million.

"Take out 1.5 million and invest it all. Leave 1 million US dollars to invest in companies that make airplanes and cars. The remaining 700 million US dollars will be left in Lawson Trust Company as working capital."

Jesse Livermore was shocked: "Boss, don't you keep any money on your own?"

Like when he made money, he wanted to buy trams, yachts, apartments and mistresses.Thomas W. Lawson made money and bought real estate in large quantities, including villas in Palm Beach.

The boss is sitting on 1.5 million US dollars, and he actually invested all of it?
Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Isn't there still a deposit of 750 million US dollars? I will wait for the money to arrive before investing in my weapon workshop."

He still has a cash reserve of 10 yuan in his secret realm.

Jesse Livermore felt that this was a bit hard, and it was unnecessary to be young.

He finally persuaded: "Boss, I think it is also necessary to have fun in time, otherwise making money is meaningless."

He even wondered if the boss was mentally twisted?Otherwise, why kill people without blinking an eye, why don't you want to enjoy the $1.67 million you earned?

"For a short life, the things you do these days are joyful.

But for me, that happiness is too short-lived, and it is not as comfortable as being comfortable in a paralyzed chair at home.

Ever heard a word?It's called a pattern. "

Jesse Livermore shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

"This word comes from the game of Go." Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of paper and drew 19 lines horizontally and vertically: "There are a total of 361 points here. 324 grids.

Each grid symbolizes a rule and standard.

Many grids come together to symbolize different fields and industries.

The pieces placed on the grid, and the shape formed by these pieces are called bureaus.

Black and white twins, each holding one end, attacking and defending each other.

Defend the corner, connect the sides, and attack the center.

The two sides make arrangements for their own purposes.

The layout is on the grid, so as many grids as there are in your eyes, you can make as big a game as possible.

To say that a person has a small pattern means that he has a small vision and can only see the grid in front of him.

The structure is small, no matter how smart you are, you can only win a corner of the situation. "

Jesse Livermore is very smart, so he understood how Go is going, and said with emotion: "This seems to be Chinese chess, which is too complicated."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "I'm not as smart as you.

At the beginning, I made blind layouts in all corners of the board, which had nothing to do with each other.

But with more layouts, I discovered that these bureaus that I didn't even understand seemed to be related.

Surround the enemy's pawn, make it airless, and then swallow it.

But the criterion of victory is not who eats the most, but whose game is bigger.

Swallowing is just a means to win chess.

Novice players tend to fall into the fun of capturing pieces, often because they are addicted to capturing pieces and miss good opportunities for layout, which limits their own development and even loses the entire chess game.

If a person does not mess up his own position because the opponent captures the ball, always maintains his own rhythm, and has a pattern in mind, he can win the final victory.

I figured this out, so after I came to the United States, I didn't touch Rockefeller or JP Morgan.It's not that I don't want to, it's not very useful.If one Rockefeller falls, there will be another Rockefeller.

I also don't participate in some seemingly important things in our country. Compared with the final battle, it is just a passing cloud.

What's more, I always have a picture of 24 years later in my head, there are fighter jets roaring in the sky, there is a torrent of steel advancing on the ground, and my enemies will fuck off..."

In the 21st century, whoever talks about the pattern will be laughed at.

Even if the word "pattern" is a bad word, 90% of people don't know its specific meaning. Anyway, people follow what they say and make jokes.

Jesse Livermore was even more stunned.

He found that he was what Zhao Chuanxin said had no structure and short-sightedness.

Throughout Jesse Livermore's life, there have been many ups and downs, and the final end was not so good. In the end, he got depression and shot himself.

Mostly because there is no overall view.

What shocked Jesse Livermore the most was that Zhao Chuanxin actually thought of what would happen 24 years later.

For 24 years, in the torrent of history, not even a splash can be turned over.

But in a person's life, this time can be regarded as a long time.

24 years, are they all old?
Of course he didn't know how long Zhao Chuanxin's life span was.

"A fighter jet? Is it an airplane? I don't think it's possible. Airplanes are unreliable. Cars are fine."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and did not explain.

No matter who he talks to at ordinary times, he gives people the feeling of being out of tune.

This was the first time he had a serious breakup with someone. Rather than talking to Jesse Livermore, it might be better to say that Zhao Chuanxin was clarifying his thoughts for himself.

Zhao Chuanxin crumpled up the paper on the table and threw it into the trash can precisely: "If I use 20 years to prepare for only one thing, I believe that the power of your belief will not be able to stop me! Okay! , go to work quickly."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed behind the desk.

Some things, once started, cannot be stopped.

He missed Lugang Township, his own home, the sunshine through the French lattice windows in the living room and the starched recliner.

The next day, the National Commercial Bank stopped commercial settlements with the New Yorker Trust Company, and the New Yorker Trust Company suffered a run and collapsed.

Because the investigation committee could not determine whether the New Yorker Trust Company had enough assets to use as collateral to tide over the difficulties, the old Morgan's decision was - not to save.

At this point, the interbank lending ratio grew to 139%.

crazy.

On October 1907, 10, the presidents of the banking industry gathered in Morgan's office to listen to his instructions, and Morgan Sr. announced to raise money to save the market.

This is to increase public confidence.

However, at the same time as he announced the bailout, the new Wall Street Journal came out.

A piece of news caused an uproar among the public.

"Zhao Chuanxin Earned 5000 Million Dollars in the Crisis".

The words "Zhao Chuanxin" are eye-catching enough, and the $5000 million is even more eye-catching.

At this time, He Zhan was reading a newspaper to Kang Youwei: "Chen Yigeng is Zhao Chuanxin, Jesse Livermore and Thomas W. Lawson are both working for Zhao Chuanxin. The boss behind the scenes is actually the butcher of the Far East..."

Kang Youwei laughed heartily: "It's so satisfying, it should be clear!"

Situ Meitang, who has been discharged from the hospital, is also reading the newspaper: "Zhao Chuanxin took advantage of the greed of the Fritz Heinze brothers to make a huge sum of US$5000 million in the crisis..."

Situ Meitang gasped.

At this time, this amount is an astronomical figure for him.

Zhen Chen Yigeng was speechless: "Boss, is this true? He really made $5000 million? Can this money fill this house?"

"Mr. Zhao is unpredictable, maybe it's true or not. But his identity has been exposed, and I'm sweating for him."

"Who dares to provoke him?" Chen Yigeng smiled wryly, his reputation was already in the street.

When he goes out now and declares himself "Chen Yigeng", everyone else hides far away, and the police don't even dare to find out his details.

Arty Abraham Cohen also read the newspaper, sat up straight suddenly, and said to Glenville Harper next to him, "Is this not true? The boss is Zhao Chuanxin?"

Grenville Harper was taken aback: "What? Zhao Chuanxin? Far East Butcher?"

The news even traveled across the ocean and was transmitted to the East through telegraph wires under the sea.

Forbidden City, Empress Dowager Cixi Palace.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng held the newspaper and said, "Lafayette, there is news about Zhao Chuanxin. He is now in the United States."

Cixi's dim old eyes slightly opened: "What did this evil spirit go to the United States? I hope he dies there."

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng hesitated for a moment: "He didn't die, and he took advantage of the Wall Street stock market crash to make $5000 million."

Just say angry or not.

Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that she cursed: "A good person doesn't live long, but a scourge lasts for a thousand years!"

In Vietnam, Sun Gongwu received the news and sighed: "Wen has the way of economics, and Wu can kill thieves on horseback. Mr. Zhao is really a strange man."

Huang Xing's eyes lit up: "He earned 5000 million US dollars. If he is willing to contribute a little or two to the revolution, our chances of winning will be even greater."

"Eh... this?" Sun Gongwu obviously didn't have the slightest confidence in this, so he could only change the subject: "I think this time the Americans are really afraid of him to the bone-the blood splatters five steps and never stays, and they still have to make money." of silver, hehe."

On Hong Kong Island, at the headquarters of Xuantianzong, Li Guangzong finished reading the newspaper and sighed: "Sir, he is really a man who can't predict where he will go! We can support Xuantianzong one or two, we are now in a bottleneck!"
