Chapter 1236 The first step of annexation (second update, please subscribe)
life.Uh... uh, it's all luck.

Maybe you were still drinking brandy a minute ago... Uh, you should still be having a sweet dream, and you woke up from the dream in the next second.

In the next few hours, Edward undoubtedly fell into hell-his manager told him that the exchanges in London and New York required him to cover his positions, which would cost about 500 million pounds!
Maybe he inherited millions of pounds of property, but it is definitely not enough to cover the position. At the same time, many friends called him and asked for his explanation.

What's more, those big shots!
Big shots are asking him to explain, too.

Among his investments, a considerable part belongs to big shots!
How to do?
"I'm doomed!"

Sassoon was in the office, countless possibilities flashed through his mind. He looked out the window and the people passing by on the street outside the window. Once upon a time, he felt that those people were a group of poor guys with neither wealth nor status. I can only live a mediocre life without complaint, but now?

Edward envied the ordinary life of ordinary people.

Just then the phone rang again, and when he answered the phone, he heard his wife's voice.

"Edward."

"Eileen,"

"Father called just now,"

Erin said on the other end of the phone.

"He told me everything, and his advice was that you have to end this yourself."

"What? End? How? Irene..."

"He said, you know, for me, for our children! You must end this!"

Then the phone was hung up, and there was no emotion in Erin's phone, as if she was talking to a stranger.

For people like them, emotion itself is a burden...

Looking at the phone on the table, Ed fell into extreme panic. Of course he knew what Irene's phone call meant for him to accept all this.

How to end all this?

The answer is too simple.

Just let him die!

"What a heartless bitch!"

While Edward was cursing his wife, he took out a cigar from his cigarette case. After lighting the cigar, he walked up a flight of stairs with the cigar in his mouth. His office was on the fifth floor, and the top floor was the top floor.

In fact, he didn't need to go upstairs at all, he just needed to open the windows, but the air upstairs was better and the sight line was wider. In the past, when faced with many choices, he would go upstairs and smoke a cigar. side...

But all this meant nothing to Edward.

Not only did he lose all his property, but he was also in huge debt!

More importantly, those dignitaries who lost a lot of wealth in this incident will not let him go easily, alive... He has no chance to live again, and what awaits him is a dead end.

The Rothschild family will never let him go, this time the family lost at least 1000 million pounds!From London to Paris to Berlin, all family members have suffered heavy losses in this investment, and they will definitely not let him go.

Besides, there are so many dignitaries!Those same people also lost heavily on this investment.How could they let him go?

It's time to end it all.

Standing on the edge of the building, after Edward finished smoking his cigar, he deliberately took a few tablets of "Easy", and I have to say that after taking this medicine, he felt much more relaxed, and even his fear disappeared.
This medicine is really good!

But God can testify that this drug is from the Imperial Pharmaceutical Industry... What a group of despicable and shameless guys. They forbid people all over the world to sell drugs to the Empire, but what about themselves?But the medicine extracted from it was sold all over the world.

Shameless!
But no matter how much he cursed the double standard of the empire in his heart, he couldn't change his own destiny... Not only was he bankrupt, but he was also abandoned by the entire upper class society.

Edward looked at the people walking downstairs, and then took a step forward.

Sometimes, that's the way life is...it's all about luck.

You were just jogging and rushing to meet the client, but in the blink of an eye, you were splashed with blood all over your body. Before you realized what was going on, there was a bloody corpse in front of you.

You don't even have compensation - the perpetrator is already dead.

On this day, some people cry and some people laugh.

There is no doubt that some people got extremely rich returns on this day-for the investment traders of the empire, their profits were huge on this day, and they also bought silver futures according to the instructions of the high-level empire .

It's just that unlike those who jumped off the building to buy down, what they bought was up!

Amidst the bullish sound, it took less than an hour for the depreciation of silver to be contained, and at the close of the day, it even broke through and broke through 18.

This is simply the "big miracle day" for silver.Once upon a time, under the attack of Europe, the United States and other countries, silver seemed to be eliminated from the circulation of currency.

But now?
Silver's undervalued value over the years was immediately on full display after being endorsed by a powerful empire.

"confidence!"

In the imperial palace in Zhongdu, Emperor Zhu said to Qian Degong.

"For thousands of years, compared to gold, silver has been the most important currency in circulation. Gold may be expensive, but it belongs to the rich. Only silver... silver is the currency that belongs to the people and is the real currency in circulation. , in the past ten years, one country after another has abolished the silver standard, but it has not destroyed people's belief in silver. Now, what I need is to give them a confidence. In the currency war, gold and silver Not the most important thing, the most important thing is confidence!"

Human heart is a very magical thing, as long as you can find the trigger point, you can make people use it for you.

"Confidence is indeed very important, and this is the basis for us to win this war, but Your Majesty, the currency war is still going on!"

Emperor Zhu nodded,

"It is definitely going on. The "gold standard" is not willing to surrender. They are neither willing to give up the mainstream status of the gold standard easily, nor can they depreciate sharply. But what is certain is that in the next ten years, the gold standard The supply may increase, but it will definitely not be able to satisfy the market’s demand for currency. The tight money in the market will intensify the people’s hoarding of gold coins. As the money increases, it will lead to the deterioration of the market, which is the Great Depression.”

After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu said.

"Our and Mexico's silver production will increase to 4000 tons, or even 5000 tons in the next few years, plus the export of silver from the United States, it can ensure that the silver standard countries have sufficient silver coins, which will further promote our economic development , and will even further increase the export competitiveness of Daming’s domestic industry, so now we need to prepare for the next stage.”

Emperor Zhu was not satisfied with his temporary success.

"The next stage?"

Qian Degong looked at His Majesty puzzled.

"Facing opponents like the United Kingdom and the United States, we don't just need the "Four Emperors Alliance" if we want to win."

Emperor Zhu said,

"Besides, there are always only interests between countries. There is still some uncertainty in the future of the "Alliance of Four Emperors". Unfortunately, the British have never thought of uniting Europe in the past. Their thinking for hundreds of years has been to mess up Continental Europe, otherwise, we really have no chance to establish the "Alliance of Four Emperors", but this is not important, after all, our core is in the Americas in the Pan-Pacific region, Europe... Our thinking is also to mess up Europe and put the power of the United Kingdom Contained in Europe,."

For Europe, the UK is a shit stick, and it is not willing to unite Europe at any time, even if this unity is achieved under the leadership of the UK. Of course, for Ming Dynasty, a united Europe, It is also not what Ming needs, so Ming also did not consider uniting Europe, but only considered kidnapping France, Russia, and at most the Austro-Hungarian Empire into the imperial chariot, and then went together to disintegrate the British Empire.

"Now with the rise of the empire, especially the understanding of the empire in South American countries, the people squeezed under the Caudillo system are eager for changes in life and death. The Caudillo system is being shaken. In fact, annexing them is also a big battle part of a currency war."

In the past few months, in the face of this currency war, Emperor Zhu saw a new opportunity,
"We can take advantage of their desire for empire and bring that South American country under imperial rule, and currency... is the first step to annexation!"
