Chapter 1235 One thought of hell (first update, please subscribe)
What is heaven?

What is hell?

There's never been an exact definition of this, but one thing is for sure.

Man's fate, life.Uh... uh, it's all luck.

Maybe you were drinking brandy and hooking up with a lady a minute ago, and half a second later, her husband came to the door.

Edward carefully looked at his dark blue eyes, thinking silently in his heart.

That's why he never stayed overnight.

Just to avoid this from happening!

Simply playing poker is just exercise, there is no need to put your life on the line just to play poker.

Of course, the family was not even compensated.

After all, Edward knew that his career would be inseparable from Irene and the support of the Rothschild family.

However, this does not prevent him from getting into the bed of other women.

"It's a pity, the wealth and appearance you possess would have made you the most famous guy in London."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Edward knew that the Sassoon family not only endowed him with wealth, but also endowed him with a handsome appearance, but more of it was responsibility. Yes, he needed to avenge his family!

One man declares war on one empire!
What an arrogance!

But Edward's eyes were full of confidence. Of course, his purpose was not just for revenge.

But for wealth!

For wealth!

He is very clear about how much wealth the opportunity of silver depreciation will bring him. As long as he seizes this opportunity, his wealth will even become an existence not inferior to that of the Rothschild family.

"Wait until then! Irene..."

Their positions would have been quite different, and, God can testify, Edward had been rough with her in the past days, and her rudeness had been tolerated in every possible way.

"Just wait a few more months!".

Edward carefully tied his tie.As a member of the upper class, everyone here is extremely elegant, and dealing with those well-dressed people must be becoming like them.

Ten minutes later, Edward left his lover's house and returned to his home. For him, this was just an extremely ordinary day, and of course it was also a day full of expectations.

While smoking a cigar in the study, Edward had been waiting for a call from the manager. After waiting for almost an hour, his phone rang.

"We've bought $500 million in silver futures on New York Trading Young..."

500 million dollars!
Plus £200 million in London!
Of course, this money is only his. In fact, including the investment of the Rothschild family and London dignitaries, it has already exceeded tens of millions of pounds.

Two months!
In two months, the Governor-General of Britain and India will announce the abolition of the "silver standard".

At that time, the value of silver will definitely plummet.

At that time... everyone's wealth will more than double.

Edward seemed to see the day when his wealth skyrocketed again.

wealth!

Sometimes it's that easy to make money!
Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help whistling, he said to himself quite proudly.

"Wait until that day..."

Complacent, Edward picked up the newspaper from the table, and there was a piece of news in the newspaper - the gold-silver ratio fell below 1:18.8!

"Aha! This is such a wonderful moment..."

That night, Edward had a good night's sleep. In his sleep, he even dreamed that he was knighted, and the honor was awarded by the Queen himself.

He got a status and wealth that no one in the Sassoon family has ever had...

In the dream Edward smiled happily.

However, he forgot that there is an old saying in China - a good dream is easy to wake up.

……

In the early morning, when Edward was sitting in the dining room enjoying breakfast and flipping through the newspaper as usual, he suddenly screamed.

"This, this is impossible!"

"Dear, what's wrong?"

Irene looked at the shocked Edward in puzzlement.

"This, this is not true. This, this is impossible, they, they don't have that much gold..."

"What? What's the matter? Honey? What happened?"

Looking at her pale husband, Irene's eyes were full of puzzlement.

"This, this is not true..."

The distraught Edward ignored Irene, he stood up in a hurry, and rushed out desperately, he had to figure this out.

"What news did he see?"

Irene picked up the newspaper that had fallen on the ground. The news on the front page of the newspaper was not from the United Kingdom, but from the New World: The Ming Empire passed a law-unlimited purchase of silver!
"Unlimited purchase of silver?"

Irene didn't know what this news meant, but on this day in London and the United States, I don't know how many bankers and rich people lost a lot of wealth because of this news.

Of course, there are many dignitaries as well.

"It's not true!"

In a club near Downing Street, facing Mr. Rogers, the Prime Minister's secretary, Edward said nervously.

"They don't have that much gold, they can't take all the gold to buy silver."

"Impossible? How is it impossible? Have you read the content of the bill? Mr. Sassoon, they only need to maintain the price ratio of silver at 18.5. As long as the price of silver falls below this price, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Empire will intervene in the market." , Raise the price of silver by purchasing silver..."

Now Rogers no longer calls him Edward as he used to, and his words are full of dissatisfaction.

"Then we can still proceed as planned. We can export India's silver to Daming to purchase their gold. Mr. Rogers, we still have a chance..."

"Damn, there is no chance! Did you forget the "Silver Standard Act" they passed last month? They banned the export and circulation of gold. The banknotes circulated in the Ming Empire, you damn guy, do you know how many people you killed?"

Rogers said indignantly that because of Sassoon's plan, many people including him invested in silver futures, and they all tried to get huge returns from it.

But... now?

All plans turned into jokes.

It wasn't until this time that Edward realized what the "Silver Standard Act" of the Ming Empire meant two months ago. He originally thought that the bill would have no effect. An instinctive reaction to the decline - trying to stabilize the value of silver by abolishing the dual gold system and implementing the silver standard to avoid further depreciation of silver.

But who would have thought that the Ming Empire would actually come up with the trump card of infinitely buying silver?
How can they do this?

Who gave them the right to do this, shouldn't they let silver go down?

And yet they did so.

"This, this...Mr. Rogers, we still have a chance, as long as we..."

Before Sassoon could finish speaking, Rogers stood up, put on his top hat and said.

"No, you've lost your chance, Mr. Sassoon!"

After saying this, Rogers turned his head and glanced at this guy, his eyes were full of hatred - it was this guy who cost him tens of thousands of pounds.

For God's sake, he'd love to strangle this guy.But it's not his turn to do this, and there are many people who hate him even more.
