The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

After Jesse Livermore returned, he called Abraham Cohen.

Not long after, someone drove a wagon filled with hay and quietly took the body away.

Jesse Livermore finally dared to enter Zhao Chuanxin's office, but he still felt a chill on the back of his head.

He said: Boss, have you chosen which investment projects?

Well, the ones I underlined need to be invested, and the ones I circled need to be invested in.

Jesse Livermore took a general look, and the ones circled were: Gillette razors (personal care), Coca-Cola (beverages), Bayer (aspirin drugs), Ford (cars), General Motors (automobiles), Chrysler, Union Pacific Railroad, Northern Railroad, Edison Electric, American Electric Light Company, Shell Oil, Kraft Company, Carnegie Candy Company, United Juice Company, Philips Aviation...

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

It involves automobiles, food, aerospace, medicine, clothing, retail, energy and other fields.

Jesse Livermore was confused: Boss, are you sure you want to invest so extensively?

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

Because the stock price of United Copper has plummeted, along with the entire steel industry, this is an excellent investment opportunity.

But. Jesse Livermore pointed at Philips Airlines: Planes crash at every turn, and no one with a small fortune dares to fly on them. What's the future of investing in this? It's better to do cotton futures. ”

At this time, aircraft technology and industry had not yet been fully developed. Most people were not aware of the commercial potential of aircraft and were still focusing on the traditional manufacturing industry.

Zhao Chuanxin knocked on the table: There are still several aircraft manufacturing companies, all of which will invest in me, even if they lose money. I will leave a reserve fund. In the future, whenever there is a new aircraft company, whether in the United States or in Europe must invest more and not let anyone go, no matter whether it loses money or not.”

Yes, you have money and will do whatever you want.

Jesse Livermore stopped persuading and just asked: The funds we have available now total 167 million U.S. dollars, boss, how much do you want to invest?

Jesse Livermore's heart trembles every time he thinks of $167 million.

Take out 150 million and invest all of it. Leave 10 million US dollars waiting to invest in companies that build airplanes and automobiles. The remaining 7 million US dollars will be kept in Lawson Trust Company as working capital.

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

Like when he makes money, he wants to buy a tram, a yacht, an apartment and keep a mistress. Thomas W. Lawson made money and purchased a large number of properties, including many villas in Palm Beach.

The boss has 150 million US dollars, and he invested all of it?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: Isn't there still a deposit of 7.5 million US dollars that has not been withdrawn? I will wait for the money to arrive before investing in my weapons workshop.

He still has a cash reserve of 100,000 yuan in his secret place.

Jesse Livermore thought this was a bit hard and unnecessary at such a young age.

He finally persuaded: Boss, I think you should enjoy yourself in time, otherwise there is no point in making money.

He even wondered if his boss was mentally twisted? Otherwise, why would you kill someone without blinking an eye, and why would you make $167 million but not enjoy it?

“For this short life, the things you do these days are very happy.

But for me, that happiness was too short-lived, and it was not as comfortable as sitting on a chair at home.

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

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

This word comes from 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 a bureau.

The black and white twins, each holding one end, attack and defend each other.

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

Both sides planned for their own purposes.

Lay out the game on a grid, so you can make as big a game as you can see.

To say that a person has a small layout means that his vision is not big and he can only see the grid in front of him.

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

Jesse Livermore was very smart, so he understood what Go was about, and said with emotion: This seems to be Chinese chess, it is too complicated.

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

At first, I made random arrangements in all corners of the board, with no connection.

But after I laid out more, I discovered that these situations that even I didn't understand seemed to be related.

Surround the enemy's nest, make it breathless, and then swallow it.

But the criterion for victory is not who gets the most chips, but who has the bigger picture.

Swallowing pieces is just a means to win chess.

Novices in chess can easily get caught up in the fun of capturing pieces. Often because of their obsession with capturing pieces, they miss good opportunities for layout, limiting their own development, or even losing the entire chess game.

If a person does not mess up his position because the other party takes the piece, and always maintains his own rhythm and has a pattern in mind, he can win the final victory.

I figured this out, so after coming to the United States, I didn’t touch Rockefeller or J.P. Morgan. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that it’s not very useful. When one Rockefeller falls, there will be another.

I am not involved in some seemingly important things in our country. Compared with the final battle, they are all passing by.

What's more, I always have a picture of 24 years later in my mind. There are fighter jets roaring in the sky that cover the sky, a torrent of steel advancing on the ground, and my enemies are pissing their shit...

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

Even though the word pattern is a bad word, 90% of people don't know its specific meaning. They are just following the joke anyway.

Jesse Livermore was even more stunned.

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

Throughout Jesse Livermore's life, there were many ups and downs, and his final end was not very good. In the end, he suffered from depression and shot himself.

Mostly due to lack of overall perspective.

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

In 24 years, despite the torrent of history, we could not even make a splash.

But in an individual's life, this time is considered a long time.

24 years, are they all old?

Of course he didn't know how long Zhao Chuanxian's life was.

Fighter? Is it a plane? I think this is impossible. Planes are not reliable at all. But cars are okay.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and did not explain.

No matter who he talks to, he always seems to be out of touch.

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

Zhao Chuanxin crumpled up the paper on the table and threw it into the trash can accurately: If I spend twenty years preparing for just one thing, I believe that the power you believe in will not be able to stop me! Okay! Come on, get to work quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed behind his desk.

Once something starts, it can't be stopped.

He missed Lugang Town, his home, the sunlight passing through the floor-to-ceiling lattice windows in the living room and the padded recliner.

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

Because the investigative committee could not determine whether the New Yorker Trust Company had enough assets to use as collateral to survive the crisis, Morgan Sr. decided not to save it.

At this time, the interbank lending rate increased to 139%.

crazy.

On October 24, 1907, the CEOs of the banking industry gathered in Morgan's office to listen to his instructions. Morgan Sr. announced that he would raise money to rescue the market.

This is to increase public confidence.

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

A piece of news caused a public uproar.

Zhao Chuanxin made $50 million in crisis.

The three words Zhao Chuanxin are eye-catching enough, and the US$50 million is even more eye-catching.

At this time, He Zhan was reporting to Kang Youwei: Chen Yigeng is Zhao Chuanxin, Jesse Livermore and Thomas W. Lawson both work for Zhao Chuanxin. The boss behind the scenes turned out to be the Butcher of the Far East...

Kang Youwei laughed heartily: It pleases people's hearts, so let's make it 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 and made away with a huge sum of US$50 million during the crisis...

Situ Meitang took a breath of cold air.

At this time, this amount was an astronomical figure to him.

Zhen Chen Yigeng was speechless: Boss, is this true? He really made 50 million US dollars? Can this money fill this house?

Mr. Zhao is unpredictable, and it may or may not be true. But his identity has been exposed, and I am worried about him.

Who dares to mess with him? Chen Yigeng smiled bitterly, his reputation was already ruined on the streets.

Now he goes out and announces his name as Chen Yigeng. Everyone else hides away, and the police don't even dare to find out his details.

The arty Abraham Cohen also read the newspaper, sat up straight and said to Grenville Harper next to him: Isn't this true? The boss is Zhao Chuanxin?

Grenville Harper was startled: What? Zhao Chuanxin? The Butcher of the Far East?

The news even traveled across the ocean and reached the East through telegraph lines under the sea.

Forbidden City, Cixi Palace.

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

Cixi's dim old eyes opened slightly: What did this pest do to the United States? I hope he died there.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng hesitated for a moment: He is not dead. He also made 50 million US dollars by taking advantage of the Wall Street stock market crash.

Just say whether you are angry or not.

Cixi was really angry and yelled: Good people don't live long, but harm will last for thousands of years!

In Vietnam, Sun Gongwu received the news and sighed: Wen has economic skills, and military force can mount a horse and kill thieves. Mr. Zhao is really a strange person.

Huang Xing's eyes lit up: He earned 50 million US dollars. If he is willing to contribute something to the revolution, we will have a greater chance of winning.

Um... this? Sun Gongwu obviously had no confidence in this, so he could only change the topic: I think this time the Americans are really afraid of him to the core - blood is spattered on them, and they don't leave a trace after five steps, and they have to make money from them money, haha.

Hong Kong Island, Xuantian Sect Headquarters, Li Guangzong finished reading the newspaper and looked up to the sky and sighed: Sir, you are really a man who can't predict the position at all! However, I think that since Mr. made so much money, he should have sufficient funds, or But to support Xuantian Sect One or Two, we have now reached a bottleneck!
