Chapter 119 Using Gold Coins to Beat Water (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Don't rush if you're late!

In New York in November 1861, on Wall Street, it seemed that this sentence was spreading in the mouths of all stock economies.

Somebody is buying Atlantic Telegraph stock!
That's a junk stock among junk stocks!

Not even a penny a share!

As God can testify, it reached a sky-high price of two dollars back then!
But now...it's rubbish!
If it weren't for the fact that it has exclusive licenses from the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States, it would have been discontinued and delisted long ago.

"Sell it quickly, don't hesitate..."

Anyone who holds shares in the Atlantic Telegraph Company will sell them without hesitation. Even stockholders as far away as London, upon hearing the news, immediately mail their shares to New York for sale.

God bless!

Be sure to let that old hat in South America not find that these stocks are rubbish!
"They bought almost all the stocks on the market!"

Kecharm smiled at Morgan.

"Now it's priced at 1.5 cents. If you sell it now, you can save at least $2000 in losses..."

"Hey, two thousand dollars..."

Morgan's face became a little ugly.

"I spent $[-] at the time, and I invested a lot more this time...But in the end? It didn't even sell for $[-]."

Although a little helpless, Morgan said.

"Sell it, while they are willing to buy it."

Finally, after the meat was cut and liquidated, Morgan felt a little more relaxed. Although the stocks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were only sold for a few thousand dollars in the end, at least some losses were recovered.

Otherwise, all these stocks will be in your hands.

……

Standing in front of the hotel, Cyrus West Field even took a special look at the clothes on his body. Fortunately, they were still tidy.

He has been embroiled in lawsuits since the Atlantic cable broke and sank into the Atlantic Ocean, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.Facing claims from creditors, he was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

It is also because of this that when someone wants to acquire the company's stock he holds, when he accepts the other party's offer, he makes another request-he needs to meet with the acquirer.

In the hotel coffee shop, after a simple polite, Field directly entered the topic.

"Mr. Buffett, I heard that you have bought all the stocks in the market?"

"It is a notorious company to the whole world, and its shares are worth nothing except for the so-called right to build the Atlantic cable."

"Yes, it has charters from the British and American governments."

Field nodded.

Of course, he didn't know that a few years later, when he regrouped and summoned investors to build another Atlantic cable, he spent a full three hundred thousand pounds to buy it from the company he once held. this right.

"Since it's notorious, why did you buy it?"

Field asked curiously.

"Investment is always a risk. I think, maybe we can try again. What do you think, Mr. Field?"

"You mean...you're going to reconnect that cable!"

Field was surprised.

"Sir, is this true? Are you really going to reconnect that cable?"

The reason why he was so excited was that the cable was directly related to his reputation.

In 1858, after the completion of the Atlantic Cable, when New York received a telegram from the Queen of England, the whole of the United States cheered, and he became a hero all over the world, but soon, the Atlantic Ocean, which carried honor and wealth, The cable is a joke - because its signal is getting weaker and weaker.

For this reason, the "investigation committee" composed of seven scientists established in the United Kingdom at that time concluded that the huge impedance of the 7-kilometer submarine cable in the transmission of Morse code caused serious attenuation and delay of the signal, so the chief electronics expert Huis Tong decided to increase the voltage to more than 3200 volts. As a result, the high voltage not only punctured the cable insulation, but also burned the cable.

After the Atlantic cable broke, it sank into the ocean.

Field became a critic, and the wave of cheers counterattacked the innocent Field with the same force.Field is a liar. He fabricated the Queen's telegram. He was playing for fame and fame. His team is his Thor. Sweeping the floor, the project was shelved, and even now he is on the brink of bankruptcy because of that cable.

"At least you can try it, what if it succeeds?"

When he said this, Buffett had mixed feelings in his heart.

God can testify, definitely not that I want to try it, has anyone tried it?Use hundreds of thousands of dollars, no, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars!

After all, the cables still have to be reconnected.

God can testify that the money must be floating in the water, or it is really floating in the water.In fact, in the past few days, facing the acquired stock of Atlantic Telegraph, Buffett seems to have seen how he threw gold coins into the Atlantic Ocean to fetch water.

This feeling is really exciting!
If it weren't for his unconditional trust in Steven, I'm afraid he would have gone back to Nanhua directly.

"Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you definitely don't want to buy this company!"

From the change in Buffett's expression, Field guessed the truth.

"Can I meet with your employer?"

"Mr. Buffett, you should know that in the United States and in the United Kingdom, everyone thinks that I am a liar. Not only the Atlantic Telegraph Company is notorious, but also myself!"

Phil looked a little excited.

"So, when I hear that someone wants to believe in me, I want to be able to meet him."

Facing Field's pleading eyes, Buffett said.

"But, he's not in America!"

"However, you will meet, Mr. Field. He once said that there is no one better suited than you to be the manager of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. Are you willing to accept employment?"

what?
Eyes wide open in surprise, Field's gaze is full of doubts, he is a "notorious" guy.

"Sir, you don't worry about my reputation. You know, the whole world thinks I'm a liar."

"He wants me to tell you—when the cable is reconnected, when the telegram is sent again, it will be time to redeem your reputation, Mr. Field!"

Facing this job, Field, who had been desperate for a long time, would refuse it. Perhaps, he is not bankrupt yet, but he is still entangled in lawsuits. This job at least gives him a chance to restore his reputation.

"Sir, if none of you are worried that I will have a bad influence on the company, what else do I have to worry about?"

"Very well, now, there is only one question left, how long will it take you to salvage the cable and reconnect it!"

God can testify that when he said something against his will, Buffett struggled in his heart. After all, this issue involves real money!

"I need a boat, one hundred thousand dollars, and two months, sir!"

After thinking about it, Field said.

"If all goes well, maybe in a month or so, the cable can be reconnected, but you have to understand that even if that cable is connected, its signal problem cannot be solved for the time being."

Just as Field showed a helpless expression on his face, Buffett said.

"This is not something you think about. Now, the most important thing is to reconnect the cable! Money is not a problem!"

Money must be a problem!
Is it really exciting to throw so much money into the water?
Facts proved that it was really exciting. After sending a telegram full of complaints to Zhu Xianhai, Buffett suffered from insomnia. When he arrived, he was standing by the sea and was throwing dollar gold coins into the sea.

Hitting water with gold coins... My heart hurts!

Especially when he wrote a check to Field, the pain in his heart was unspeakable...
