Alchemy Greater China

The threat of this semaphore is already very strong, and Benson still has a certain degree of self-confidence: Damn, I have already produced dry goods. If you don’t go on the road, I will smash the cans and smash them. I really smashed you to pieces!

Benson's self-confidence was rewarded this time. Not long after the semaphore was sent out, in less than an hour, a small boat sailed out from the opposite harbor.

Benson raised the binoculars that he had kept in his hand all this time, and he could see clearly: This is the boat that carried Kerim in the past. Now, that bastard must have returned with good news!

The boat stopped, and it was indeed Kerim who came out. At this moment, the little boy had tidied up his military appearance, and he didn't look as embarrassed as when everyone shouted and beat him in the harbor.

Kerim walked up to Benson with a smile on his face: "Report to the captain, you were too relieved by this cannonball, hahahaha, you didn't see that after the wrecked ship was sunk, they... "

As soon as the "p" sounded, Kerim, who was carrying which pot of water was not boiling, was immediately slapped by Benson.

"Bastard, you have the guts to say, if you do your job well, do I still need to bombard me? What about the Earl, why didn't you bring the Earl of Beihai here?" ah!A merchant ship!How much should it cost me, and how much trouble should it trouble my future interpretations!

Kerim was slapped in the face, and his excited little boy drooped immediately. He suppressed the joy of "turning over and becoming the master" on the shore just now, tremblingly took out the White House telegram, and handed it to Benson: "Captain, you Look, the White House and the military already know about our blockade of the harbor!"

"Damn it!" [

Benson raised his eyebrows, and quickly grabbed the paper to read it. After reading it, his face was as pale as a radish: it's over.It's over!How did the White House know about this?Huchi, remove all my positions, you, you are so ruthless! !

It is said that Benson climbed to his current position, after going through so much bitterness and suffering, he is about to take down the Earl of Beihai to rise to the top of the navy ranks.But at this time, the statement from the White House seemed like a bolt from the blue, turning his dreams into a pool... dog pee!

"sht! (shit)"

After recovering from his senses, Benson said angrily, "The president is a fool. He sits in an office every day. How can he understand my difficulties? The Federal Navy has no subsidy on the west coast. Now I have finally found an opportunity to contribute to the navy. You guys Not only do you not support it, but you even took off my navy uniform for such a trivial matter! I don’t accept it. I don’t admit it, yes, I absolutely don’t recognize the legitimacy of this statement!”

"Yes, I absolutely support you, Captain!" Kerim smiled obsequiously: "It is obvious that the Earl of Beihai engaged in private armed forces, and made our five destroyers and hundreds of comrades in arms disappear. We sealed off a harbor. It’s nothing to shoot a few shots!”

"You are sht too!"

Benson rolled his eyes.The big foot in the hard-toed leather boots kicked over, and kicked the confidant until his eyes turned white: "I sent you to bring the Earl of Beihai. Now what about the others? It's a very simple matter, and you messed it up! Now The White House has come to make a statement, so tell me how to solve it!"

Kerim rubbed his stomach and tried to put on a smiling face: "Captain, captain, cough cough. Don't be angry, listen to me, cough cough, finish your sentence!"

This kick was not light, and Kerim felt that his stomach must have been displaced.

"Hmph. Tell me, and I'll throw you into the sea after you're done, so you don't get upset in front of your eyes!" Benson said coldly.

"Ah, Captain, don't be so sentimental. In fact... things are not as bad as you imagined!"

Kerim's cheeks were pale with blood, he howled, and then tremblingly pulled out a note from his pocket: "Captain, look!"

"Another note? What bad news again? Hey, are you going to take me back to a court-martial?" Benson glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was a piece of paper. His stomach gasped and his knees moved again.

"No, it's not a telegram. Look, Captain, it's... a check!" Kerim twisted his body, subconsciously avoided Benson's false kick, and quickly handed over the note with both hands.

"A check? Let me see." [

Benson raised his eyebrows. Hearing that it was related to money, he took the check with a groan. When he saw the number on it, he couldn't help being shocked: "Hiss, thirty thousand dollars? Well, you Kerim, I'm here You worked so hard to fire the cannon, you are lucky, you have been there for less than a day, and you actually accepted bribes like others? Huh, I paid it, no, it was confiscated to subsidize military expenses..."

He was having a headache for the loss of the eight guns just now, when he fell asleep and hit the pillow, Benson immediately took the check to himself under the name of 'confiscation' without hesitation.

Kerim didn't have the slightest opinion on Benson's confiscation. Instead, he said flatteringly: "Captain, you misunderstood. This check was originally for you! This is the check that the Earl of Beihai asked me to hand over to you!"

"Earl of Beihai? This money belongs to the Earl of Beihai?" Benson was amazed and hurriedly asked, "What's going on here, tell me!"

Kerim smiled: "This is the Earl of Beihai's life money. Hehe, it's not that the captain you fired so wonderfully that you directly frightened that brat Earl of Beihai..."

Hearing Kerim's eloquence, Benson had a general understanding: it turned out that when the Dutch Indonesian merchant ship was sunk, a team of the San Francisco City Government and Long Hao on the shore were in chaos. up!

Not only did they untie Captain Kerim, they also consoled him uncharacteristically. In the end, Long Hao pulled Kerim aside and slipped the $[-] check quietly, begging Benson to forgive him. In a little time, after I have finished handling the property in San Francisco, I will follow Kerim to Benson's ship for investigation.

"Oh, how long does he want me to have?"

Hearing this, Benson's mood became much happier: It seems that the shot fired by that bastard Fremantle was not a good thing, at least he really scared the Earl of Beihai!

"One day, he said that it would take at least one day to deal with the property!" Kerim squinted his eyes and smiled wickedly, comparing a finger.

"One day? Humph, he said it lightly. The telegram from the White House asked me to retreat within 24 hours..." Benson shook the telegram, snorting.

"Captain, a telegram from the White House. Why take it so seriously!"

Sensing his intentions, Kerim gently pulled the telegram out of Benson's hand, and then slowly tore it up: "We are at sea now, so we can't receive any ghost telegrams at all... Besides, You will be away, and you have orders to accept everything. After the statement is made, if there is a delay of a day or two, who can blame the captain?"

Benson also narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't see it, and let Kerim tear up the telegram to pieces: "Okay, since the Earl of Beihai is quite sensible, pass my order to the fleet to evacuate one day at a time. One kilometer. The request to block the harbor... remains the same!"

Thirty thousand dollars, this can make up for a lot of losses!

Anyway, they had already made a big mistake (sinking a merchant ship), and Benson assumed that the telegram from the White House was transparent...

At 5:24 p.m. on May 1th, the Benson fleet finally withdrew without a third bombardment. Although they still blocked the exit of the harbor in the end, this situation has already let the sea merchants who waited and watched breathe a sigh of relief. .He repeatedly praised the wisdom of the San Francisco city government and released the captain Kerim.That is, the sincerity of reconciliation is released.

The sea merchants were appeased temporarily, but the reporters who risked their lives to stay on the front line were slightly dissatisfied: Hey, why didn't they continue to shoot?The camera in my hand was enjoying taking pictures, so I stopped like this, that would be too interesting...

Old Stevenson asked Long Hao in private: "Master, what did you do to let that captain go back? You gave him back the money? I have issued a first-level combat readiness order here. If Benson dares to fight, let him fight. The more merchant ships that are sunk, the more sympathy points we will get!"

Long Hao smiled lightly: "Yes, in that case. Our sympathy score is high, but the pressure these sea merchants put on you will be even greater. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it... It's only [-] US dollars. It's just a tactic to slow down, because today's main battlefield is not the seaport..."

The mayor wondered: "Isn't it a seaport? Where is that?"

"It's the stock market in the United States. I guess, after a while, those reporters will use their own channels to spread the news back to the eastern United States!" Long Hao chuckled and rubbed his fingers. , with a strategizing face: "[-] dollars, in exchange for Benson not being impulsive, it's really cheap..."

Long Hao made a good guess. Although he blocked the telegraph and telephone lines of the harbor during the first bombardment by Benson, the reporters stationed by the big newspapers in San Francisco were not ordinary people. Around the end of the second bombardment , they finally got through the communication line, and passed the explosive news of 'Benson fired' back to New York, Philadelphia, Washington...

The major newspapers in the eastern United States know it, which means that the super chaebols know it. They are all human beings. Judging from the difficulty of delivering this breaking news: Benson is crazy, the Earl of Beihai is really Panicked, his property is going to be ruined, this oriental boy wants to block the news, and then take advantage of the price fluctuation of Earl's plate, sell all the stocks in his hand to cash out!

This judgment was confirmed with the detection of tk Morgan's crazily selling of Earl's stocks before the market closed in the morning.

"Hmph, buying for a while and selling for a while, this kind of abnormal behavior must be because he got the latest news in San Francisco, bastard... Everyone follow closely, tk Morgan's trading behavior is our bright light! Sell , we also sell, now the market opens at 18 minutes in the afternoon, keep an eye on the price, and sell it on rallies!"

In Chicago, JP Morgan was so angry that his gums were itchy, and he just realized at this time that he and TK Morgan were naturally at a disadvantage in the Earl plate contest.

Because of the existence of the Benson Fleet, a 'shit stirrer', everything that happens in the San Francisco harbor will affect the stock price of the earl plate, and tk Morgan in San Francisco is naturally one step ahead of all financial people in the eastern United States!

However, it was too late to wake up. JP Morgan in Chicago talked about the timeliness of intelligence, not to mention comparing it with TK Morgan in San Francisco, and even the "All of us" friends in New York were inferior. More than one chip.

Therefore, after the opening of the market in the afternoon, he only sold a very small amount of Earl plate stocks (about [-]%), and the stock price on the disk began to plummet!

"Outside the number, outside the number, San Francisco was bombarded, and the fleet stretching outside the harbor fired brazenly!"

"Big news, big news, San Francisco announced the power-on, announced that it has entered a state of first-level combat readiness!"

"Look, buy a Maile, the White House's statement is like waste paper. An Asian merchant ship was bombed and sunk..."

……

After the market opened, numerous eye-catching newspapers poured out in the streets and alleys of major cities in the eastern United States such as New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, etc. There were well-known major newspapers such as ,,,,, etc., and there were also three-product tabloids... The news written on them It's all the shelling of the San Francisco harbor, no doubt about it.The scandal that their own navy blocked their own harbor is already fermenting and spreading, and it is about to make it known to the whole United States!

Affected by these negative news, the New York Stock Exchange opened at 23 minutes in the afternoon, hovering for 5 minutes, and the stock price of Longyan Strategy, the leader of Earl's plate, hovered for 23 minutes... a drop of $[-]!

Straight down!

Nothing sloppy!

The leading stocks plummeted, and the stocks in the other earl sectors were naturally not immune. In just 10 minutes, the average stock price of the entire sector fell by 51%.It can be said that it is more bleak and more bleak!

That's right, the gunboats blocking the San Francisco harbor have already opened fire. The fleet that was deprived of the title of the National Navy by the White House has become a beast with no burden. No matter what you want to catch the Earl of the North Sea and bite it, you will definitely have a posture of immortality Woolen cloth!In such a situation, there is no way out for the stocks of the earl plate, everyone hurry up and line up to keep up, and put steel nails on its coffin lids one by one!

Of course, everyone shouted and beat the dog in the water.But most stockholders can't even cry...

For example, those retail investors of Xianzhuang, they originally sold the earl plate short.However, before the market closed in the morning and at the beginning of the market in the afternoon, the stock price of the earl plate rose crazily like taking a big tonic. Short-selling futures instantly becomes a piece of waste paper.

Only a few retail investors with strong family backgrounds gritted their teeth and filled up their positions in time, and survived this wave of rebellion.

And the market is like playing with people.Just bursting out the positions of most of the retail investors in the village, the stock price of the earl plate was like a high-altitude bungee jumping, and fell straight down from a high place with a whiz, with a fast speed and a sharp drop.Enough to make everyone dumbfounded!

Those stockholders whose positions had just been blown up scolded the banker for shame, crying like they had cremated their own parents, while those stockholders who were lucky enough to make up their positions wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and cried out secretly: Paralyzed, two days in a row, two days!The stocks in this earl sector go up and down, really can't play, can't play!If you play with your heart again, you will not be able to bear it, and you will go directly to the hospital!

The retail investors of Xianzhuang are so miserable, and JP Morgan is not much better.

As I said before, although he woke up quickly, the geographical restrictions of Chennai made it impossible for him to keep up with the rapid turmoil of today's stock market. Before the earl plate began to fall without looking back, his royal team had already worked hard The land is selling, but still only less than [-]% of the stocks have been sold, and the remaining nearly [-]% of Earl's stocks are still in their hands. I can only cry and watch the stock prices on the blackboard keep falling. , fall, fall!

Some people are unlucky and others are laughing. As of one hour and 20 minutes after the market opened in the afternoon, the stock price of the earl plate had fallen below yesterday's lowest point, and it was still falling all the way. It didn't look like there was any sign of revival. The people in the office were laughing and leaning forward and backward, already happily looking forward to the scene of the futures delivery ten days later... At that time, will the earl plate still exist?Wouldn't it have been completely destroyed by those six battleships, and the market value would have dropped to zero?

Although this fall did not wait until all the retail investors of the dealers were wiped out as they had expected, the outcome was not much different.

Although some of the retail investors were lost, JP Morgan, who was unable to respond in time, was caught in it.

Ten days later, if they want to lose money, most of the profits that DuPont and the others keep in their hands will be the meat cut from JP Morgan's thigh!

DuPont and the group of short-selling futures financial speculators are laughing, so far away in San Francisco, tk Morgan is laughing happily, crazy, and laughingly laughing when he sees his battle report: If DuPont and their profits have to wait until ten It can only be cashed out after a few days, and there are still variables in the middle, so he, TK Morgan, has solidly pocketed the real money.

In the morning, tk Morgan absorbed half of Earl’s stocks at a low level. Before the market closed in the morning and at the beginning of the afternoon, he kept in mind Long Hao’s advice on the phone, regardless of the situation where the stock price was still crazily rising, he tried his best to Overcoming all opinions, he ordered his traders to sell as many stocks as they had in their hands!

Those traders were still a little reluctant during the morning session, but when Benson's shelling sound shook the entire city of San Francisco, they were completely convinced!

The boss is really clever!

Yesterday he sold the stock despite all the arguments, and today he bought it at the bottom, and then sold it before the bombardment: Hey, did the boss become the reincarnation of the stock god once he attained enlightenment?

No matter what these elite traders think, anyway, by the time the stock price crashed in the afternoon, tk Morgan had less than 700% of Earl's stocks in his hands, and the rest had been exchanged for real dollars, a total of [-] million!

It can be said that so far, after two days, the biggest winner in the U.S. stock market is TK Morgan. Although he has a pitifully small number of stocks at the moment, the profit in his pocket is astonishingly close to [-] million U.S. dollars!
