Chapter 35 (1/2)
On September 20, 1929, the Dow Jones index fell from a high of 386 to 362, and the stock market began to fall on a large scale.
All kinds of speculators and financial experts jumped out in a hurry and touted that this is only a normal phenomenon. The stock market is as strong as ever. We should believe in the stock market and the greatness of America.
At the same time, in the luxurious office on the second floor of aegis club, Ben, who slept only four hours a day for five consecutive days, was tired and his eyes glowing: ”I fell.”
Li Zitao, who was holding in the corner sofa, jumped up from the sofa and said, ”what fell? What fell? ”
”Boss, all of them are falling. If you want to be developed, we will be developed.” After the initial excitement, Ben is now able to stay calm.
”A good fall, a good fall.” Li Zitao muttered and sat back on the sofa. His facial muscles were numb and suddenly showed a trace of ecstasy, ”fell? It really fell. ”
It was only now that he woke up from the confusion that he had made a fortune and was about to make a fortune.
Big money?
No, no, no, it's a windfall!
Last year, the annual tax revenue of the United States was $400 million.
And Li Zitao is now basically sure of the income, 200 million dollars, which is half of the annual tax revenue of the United States.
Another 300 million? 400 million?? 500 million yuan???
”MMM!” Li Zitao hummed and shivered. He didn't dare to think about it any more. It was too exciting for Xiaoxingan to accept.
Li Zitao didn't know that his cautious personality made him get on the ride, and his careless memory helped him take an important step towards legend.
The great depression in the United States of America was nearly a month earlier than the great depression that happened on earth. All this can only be attributed to luck? Or the mysterious pusher behind all this?
Li Zitao, who put his heart back in his stomach, also decided not to rush to New York, leaving the rest to professionals like Ben.
Now what he needs to think about is what to do next and where should the large amount of money go?
After thinking for a long time, Li Zitao once again focused on the west, California and Los Angeles.
The name of the city of angels, which surpassed Chicago in later generations and became the second largest city in America, kept jumping in his mind.
Hollywood, Avenue of fame, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood
All right!
Li Zi Tao must admit that Hollywood has infinite temptation for his fat house, even if he is no longer a fat house, but a salted fish jumping around.
Manhattan, Hollywood, Disneyland, these past life heard the ear itch, let people want to forget the name, let him have a kind of cross era good impression of Hollywood.
There is also a reason why Li wants to leave Chicago, his ambition.
With the in-depth understanding of the world, he also clearly realized that the power of the consortium once existed in his mind as a code name.
The Chicago consortium, which he had never heard of in his previous life, appeared in his sight and cognition.
The Midwest consortia with McCormick, wood and Krone families as the core is one of the eight consortia that control the American economy.
Chicago has a suitable climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land, which is just suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. It is an important food and livestock area in America.
According to Li Zitao's understanding, there are Chicago consortia in the land, grassland, meat processing, agricultural machinery and other industries.
In March 1929, the cover character of time magazine was Cyrus hall McCormick, whose family's wealth so far is 420 million dollars.
This is just the wealth of the McCormick family, and they have the wood family, the crone family, and countless interest groups attached to the tree.
With the advent of the great depression, although the consortia will inevitably be affected, its capital is abundant, and its strength in politics and business is not what he can resist now.
However, the western region is different. The appearance of the homestead law has made this originally barren land beautiful and rich. Private farms are full of emerging industries.
Convenient transportation, bankrupt farms and factories, underground mineral deposits waiting to be discovered, vast and fertile western prairie.
And, of course, Hollywood
Li Zitao thinks that it is the place where he can rise, ”Chinese consortia?” A new idea emerges, and great ambition begins to breed.
……
Li Zitao is lying on the bed, thinking about life and future sexual happiness with the posture of salted fish. The wheel of time does not stop.
Tuesday, September 24, 1929, sunny.
New York, crowded Wall Street, as always immersed in the prosperity of the scene.
Stockbrokers, financial managers, investors and capitalists in suits and gowns, as in the past, open their doors, and their polished leather shoes can reflect the ”handsome” appearance of a naturally successful person.”Hi, Carl. How was yesterday?”
”Two stocks of my client are falling. He harassed him all day yesterday. Oh, damn it. Doesn't he know that the decline is temporary?”
”Ha, so do I. these stupid guys, they don't understand stocks at all.”
”Good morning, Marian. How was yesterday?”
”Don't mention that Kutz sold the shares I recommended to him in American radio. He must be crazy.”
”Mygod, I think he'll cry out in the toilet. That's gold.”
