Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1575
There are a total of five players in the VIP box. In addition to Marcus Goldman II, there is also a member of the aristocracy from the United Kingdom, a rich man from France, a German, and a man who claims to be Mohammed German Ottomans.

The Englishman who claimed to be William and the Frenchman who claimed to be Henry should have known each other for a long time. The two have been tit for tat since they sat down, and they refused to give in to each other.

The German Mark was taciturn and hadn't said a few words since he sat down.

Muhammad lost the most. He was not very lucky today. Most of the 15 pounds that Marcus Goldman II won came from Muhammad.

"Stop playing, luck is not on my side today—" Henry also lost a lot, and got up to find some other fun.

"That's right, if you keep playing, someone might lose even their underwear—" William was complacent, and he won a lot today.

"Don't be arrogant about William, you will have better luck today, and I will teach you a lesson another day." Henry still has a little self-control, and he will stop when he wins or loses to a certain extent.

"Ha, don't wait for another day, I'm here, how about it, dare you?" William was lucky today, and won a lot in front of him.

"Heh—" Before Henry could speak, Mark suddenly answered quietly: "If you don't have any money, I can lend you—"

These words are also not very harmful, but extremely insulting. Considering the current relationship between the Germans and the French, it is simply a shame.

"Are you still playing or not? Sit down if you are playing, and leave if you are not playing." Mohammad still wanted to turn over the book.

"Yes, don't affect our mood—" Marcus Goldman II was in the limelight, and he wanted to continue.

"Shut up, Yankee!" Henry was restrained to William, but not polite to Marcus Goldman II.

In Europe today, the image of Americans is still that of rude upstarts. They don’t pay attention to their image in public, and they don’t care whether they will cause trouble to others. Many restaurants in Paris still hang "Americans prohibit Enter" sign.

Zooming in on the national level, after the "Dawes Plan" began, the United States was the most active in investing in Germany, which made the French love and hate it.

What I love is that the more the US invests in Germany, the more likely Germany will pay back on time.

Hate is very simple, once Germany regains its strength, France is the most dangerous.

Marcus Goldman II knew that the French didn't like Americans, but the title "Yankee" was also very insulting, and Marcus Goldman II's face immediately turned red.

Not shy, but angry.

"Wait, you all clean my ass—" Henry sat down again, signed a check, and the hotel quickly sent the money back.

The following game changed suddenly, and luck returned to Henry's side this time. Marcus Goldman II slowly lost the money he won in the first half, not to mention losing 20.

Even worse, Henry laughed at Marcus Goldman II every time he raised.

"How is it? Do you dare to add it?"

"Yangkee, weren't you very arrogant just now? Now I'll give you a chance."

"Ha, thank you for your patronage—"

Marcus Goldman II lost more and more in Henry's taunts, and by the time Marcus Goldman II noticed it, he had lost a full $170 million.

So much money is definitely not Marcus Goldman II's own, but the funds raised by Goldman Sachs from the trust market.

Until this time, Marcus Goldman II still didn't pay much attention.

For Goldman Sachs, which has a market value of hundreds of millions, although US$170 million is not a small number, it is not a catastrophe.

But what Marcus Goldman II didn't expect was that the news spread throughout New York in just three days, and at this time the stock market value of Goldman Sachs had already begun to drop sharply.

170 million US dollars is not much, but the heirs of Goldman Sachs spent a lot of money at the Duperokust Dune Hotel with the money of their customers, which seriously affected investors' confidence in Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs has now shifted its business from commercial paper trading to commercial investing.

To put it bluntly, Goldman Sachs' money is not Goldman Sachs' own, but investors' money. When investors have insufficient confidence in Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs' trust business will plummet.

At this time, Marcellus finally made a move and drastically downgraded Goldman Sachs' credit rating, lowering Goldman Sachs' credit rating from 3A to B-. For a while, investors rushed to Goldman Sachs, hoping to get their money back. Affecting Goldman Sachs' stock price.

At that time, the U.S. stock market did not have a circuit breaker mechanism. In just three days, the stock value of Goldman Sachs dropped from a peak of $105 to $75, a drop of more than one-third, and it was still falling rapidly.

Goldman Sachs was also caught off guard by this scandal. Although Goldman Sachs explained it immediately and tried to restore market confidence, it was too late. Two weeks later, the stock price of Goldman Sachs dropped to only $1.5, becoming a junk stock that everyone can't avoid. At this time, Goldman Sachs had lost 92% of its original shares.

From the highest $105 to the lowest $1.5, it took no more than one month.

In just one month, a thriving investment company was wiped out, and decades of accumulation were destroyed. The Goldman Sachs family filed for bankruptcy on March 3.

March 3th was also the wedding day of Arthur and Roya.

Arthur and Roya's wedding was held at the Pretoria Cathedral opposite the Palace of Justice, and about a thousand guests attended Arthur and Roya's wedding.

Of course Rock was also there, but not in the name of Arthur's father, but in the name of the Marquis of Nyasaland.

Don't forget that Arthur is the Baron of Cyprus in the British Empire, so it is perfect for Roque, the Marquis of Nyasaland, to preside over Arthur and Roya's wedding.

Of course, Roque will not treat his eldest son badly. The gift he prepared for Arthur and Roya is 5.00% shares of Adan Company. According to the market value of Adan Company in London on March 3th, 14% is about 5.00 million GBP.

Don't doubt that Adan Company, which owns Port Elizabeth, is worth so much. This is because Adan Company has not announced the real oil reserves of Port Elizabeth, otherwise Adan Company's market value will soar further.

In order to ensure absolute control over the company under his name, Rock once insisted on not allowing the company under his name to be listed in the UK.

Now this worry still exists. Although Adan Company is also listed in the UK, there are no shares in the market. Everyone knows that Adan Company has unlimited potential. No one is willing to sell the shares of Adan Company. Rock himself is now It also only holds 60.00% of the shares of Adan Company, and the rest is divided up by the British dignitaries.

The British royal family also holds a part of Adan's shares, otherwise the UK would not allow Adan to monopolize Port Elizabeth.

To Roque's slight embarrassment, Phyllis and the children also attended Arthur and Roya's wedding. Phyllis was not angry when Roque gave Arthur 5.00% of Adan's shares. Roque He was so generous to Arthur, and even less stingy to Gavin and Alvin.

Rock didn't have time to pay attention to Phyllis' mood. After Arthur and Roya's wedding, Rock was about to leave southern Africa for England. Winston had reminded Rock many times that there was no longer any delay.

That's right, Winston didn't return to London either, and he couldn't think of leaving in southern Africa. He didn't stay in Pretoria all the time, but traveled almost all over southern Africa, even Madagascar, which was still in a state of war. Go, although Winston is a tourist in name, but Rock doesn't think so.

Although Winston was in an unprecedented low period, how could such a person be devoted to landscapes? His every move must have a clear purpose. I am afraid that traveling is fake, but getting more first-hand information is true.

"Why don't you annex Madagascar just like annexing the Kingdom of Mozambique—" When Arthur and Roya exchanged rings, Winston was still chattering in Rock's ear.

Rock and Winston were both in the first row. On the stage, Ida was already in tears with excitement, and Stoudemire's eyes were red. Like Rock, they were tools for Arthur and Roya's wedding. Arthur and Roya are the protagonists of this wedding.

"It's not yet time—" Rock was not in a hurry, anyway, Madagascar can't run away, and it can be annexed at any time if it wants to. Rock didn't want to give the French too much stimulation.

A week ago, France finally reached a peace agreement with Madagascar. What was not obtained on the battlefield, it will not be obtained on the negotiating table.

France recognized Madagascar's complete independence for the third time, and it is probably the last time. If France wants to return to Madagascar in the future, the Southern African Union can directly intervene.

Madagascar still made some concessions, promising to provide France with the raw materials needed for industry and various specialties of Madagascar at the most favorable price.

This promise is basically meaningless. There is neither a clear bottom line for the price nor an annual transaction volume. Basically, Madagascar can sell as much as it wants.

The reason why Briand could not wait to sign the peace agreement was also because France was really unable to afford a war with no future in sight.

The investigation of the "France" has been concluded, and the accident was determined to have hit a rock and sank.

Reunion's fleet consumes a lot of supplies every day, and the French government is so stretched that it can't afford it. If Germany hadn't started paying war compensation, the French government might go bankrupt.

Looking at it this way, France would also like to thank the United States and the United Kingdom. If it weren't for the consortia of the United States and the United Kingdom to invest wildly in Germany, Germany would not have the money to pay the French.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has sent me another telegram, hoping that you will go to London as soon as possible. We have delayed for too long. You should have gone to London a month ago—" Winston was in a state of anxiety. As Africa's understanding increases, so do its inner worries.

Strong branches and weak stems are the best way to describe the British Empire now.
