mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 325 Mr. Zhao, Amazing
When Freddie Pavitt told Zhao Chuanxin the cause and effect in a stammering tone.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "Hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and install new equipment, all the money wasted?"

With this money, he can buy weapons to equip a new backwater army and a new God of War team.

He does charity and can buy countless hearts.

But now his mother is in vain.

Freddie Pavitt said tremblingly: "Sorry, sir, Sheriff Maher said this was requested by North Tarrytown Mayor John Vaughan, who emphasized that there is no place along the Hudson River in North Tarrytown , shall not set up any factories."

In fact, the amount of money spent was relatively large, which made him feel guilty.

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth: "Say it again, what is the mayor's dog called?"

"Sir, his name is John Vaughn."

"Okay, I'll visit him later."

Jesse Livermore and Freddie Pavitt said simultaneously: "No!"

Both of them basically knew how Zhao Chuanxin would visit the mayor.

Basically, after the visit, the mayor will be abolished.

Freddie Pavitt objected because he didn't want to get involved in other industries, and it wouldn't do anyone any good.

But Jesse Livermore objected because of the ensuing economic crisis. This is his chance to stand up and should not be missed.

The blocking of the two also reminded Zhao Chuanxin, reminding him of what Li Guangzong said to him before.

My Cao... It turns out that the more property you have, the more constraints you have.

Zhao Chuanxin suppressed his anxious mood, and asked in a deep voice, "Why must we rely on the Hudson River? Can't we relocate the factory?"

Freddie Pavitt explained: "Because we are out of the Hudson River, our hydroelectric generators can't work."

The internal combustion engine will definitely not work, due to technical limitations and material limitations.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "Can't the steam engine drive the turbine generator?"

"This... costs too much, and the mayor will not agree."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the British housekeeper and said with a sneer, "You messed up the matter, so you don't have any ideas, do you? Tell me, what do you think is a feasible solution?"

Freddy Pavitt said: "The mayor did not hesitate to injure eight hundred enemies and one thousand, and obstructed our development by cutting off his own wings. I think this must be hindered by people of a higher level."

After all, this is a large-scale shutdown of factories, and the financial loss to North Tarrytown is not a small amount.

Without support, who will pay for the loss?

Freddy Pavitt didn't understand it before, but today he learned that Frank Gale was sent by the mayor to monitor him, and he knew that all of this might be aimed at Ethan Manor and Zhao Chuanxin.

"Go on."

Freddie Pavitt said: "Sir, there is still one way left. We can find an agent to secretly go to another location, go in the name of animal husbandry or agriculture, and build a factory by the way. According to the strategy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", This is called Mingxiu plank road and dark Chencang."

"Fuck, there are crouching dragons and phoenix chicks in our Yisen manor, right?" Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Then where is this place? Don't tell me, let me go to the west again."

"That's not necessary." Freddie Pavitt said, his mind flashed, and he had an idea in an instant: "It's in our West Thornton territory, on the east bank of the Hudson River, just a short distance from North Tarrytown. Not far away, there is a place called Kurdex, which is suitable for building hydroelectric power and grazing.”

He really wanted to give himself credit for his wit.

Some time ago, because of the high pressure, he went there to travel and relax, and he happened to memorize the terrain.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded, looking quite satisfied: "That's right, it's not in vain that I spend three times the salary of an ordinary British housekeeper to support you."

Freddie Pavitt straightened his back again.

And the oppressive atmosphere just now also made Jesse Livermore a little breathless.

He was very surprised, not long after seeing Zhao Chuanxin last time, how did Zhao Chuanxin's power rise to such a level?

The domineering aura exuded, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and he felt the same.

however,
Zhao Chuanxin suddenly asked again: "By the way, how about asking you to pay three times the design fee to invite John Browning?"

Freddie Pavitt's cold sweat broke out again.

"He doesn't want to."

"Be more specific."

"He said that the master is whimsical. That kind of weapon is absolutely impossible to appear, and no one can do it."

Zhao Chuanxin was really angry.

Originally, he thought that as long as he came to New York, everything would fall into place.

Clinker, there is nothing to worry about.

Browning, the well-known light weapons design expert in later generations, is he so shameless?
And also sprayed him for being whimsical, little sprayer, don't sleep too hard at night!
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Zhao Chuanxin was amused: "Without that old boy designing weapons, we will build a weapons workshop. What kind of guns will we make?"

Freddie Pavitt couldn't give a fart.

Zhao Chuanxin's spirits faded when he saw that he was indifferent, not daring to breathe.

He waved his hand: "Go away, I want to sleep well, clear my mind, maybe I have an idea."

Jesse Livermore was unwilling to leave like this, he asked: "Mr. Zhao, then our plan..."

"You go to recruit people first, and you are fully responsible for the layout. For the specific direction, follow what I said."

"Mr. Zhao, although many people are shorting United Copper, judging from the general momentum, the development of the copper industry is still very promising. In case things don't develop according to what you said, then in October, we may The bad ones go to the street to beg for food."

Although last time Zhao Chuanxin counted his strategy like a god, but this time he played even bigger.

Zhao Chuanxin knew the fuse and context of this crisis.

If you really get out of the game, you can go back to your old business, just go to every bank to withdraw money, and earn hard money.

But if it succeeds, it will affect the layout of the next few decades.

While sailing on the ship, Zhao Chuanxin seriously considered his plan to make money.

He wants to turn the money he earned this time into gold, and he will continue to lay golden eggs for him in the future.

He said: "Do as I say, and you just keep an eye on 'Ice King' Charles Morse and 'Bronze King' Fritz Heinze as you plan."

Before Freddy Pavitt came, Zhao Chuanxin had already explained the details to Jesse Livermore.

But in Jesse Livermore's view, this is really like divination. Except for Zhao Chuanxin, he has never seen anyone else have the ability to truly predict the future.

Hesitation is inevitable.

Jesse Livermore licked his chapped lips, and decided to gamble with Zhao Chuanxin once again!
When he walked to the door, Zhao Chuanxin remembered something and stopped him: "By the way, transfer our money from the banks first, especially the National Bank of North America, the National Bank of New Amsterdam, the Bank of Montana and Bank of America."

"Why is this?" Jesse Livermore, who had already walked to the door of the office, was surprised.

"Just look up the relationship between ice king Charles Morse and these banks."

Freddy Pavitt couldn't hold it back and asked, "Master, what did you tell him?"

The king of the copper industry, the king of ice making, and the major New York banks all sound very high-end.

"What do you understand?" Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand away: "Go away, I'm going to sleep."

Freddie Pavitt was ashamed.

And Jesse Livermore left with a heavy heart.

He drove out of the gate from the manor in a carriage.

Accidentally discovered Frank Gale, a private detective sneaking around not far away.

Frank Gale was not afraid when he saw him, but just smiled awkwardly.

He is now semi-"blatantly" monitoring the Ethan Manor.

After all, an agreement has been reached with Zhao Chuanxin, and he can be a double agent "with dignity".

Jesse Livermore ignored him.

Back to New York, Wall Street.

Jesse Livermore immediately found his buddy Thomas W. Lawson.

This person is a financial columnist and a "Wall Street know-it-all". He once made a fortune with Zhao Chuanxin.

"Brother, use your relationship to help me inquire about the relationship between ice king Charles Moores and several banks..."

He told Thomas W. Lawson the names of several banks.

As a result, Thomas W. Lawson said with a smile: "Is there still a need to ask? Have you forgotten what I do?"

"you know?"

"Of course, my friend. Charles Morse, he's a big guy in Wall Street now. I can't do without him when I write."

Jesse Livermore, tormented by his curiosity, asked hastily, "Tell me, what have they got to do with these banks?"

"The National Bank of North America and the National Bank of New Amsterdam are two banks directly controlled by Charles Morse. As for the other two banks, he has little to do with him. However, it is the copper king Fritz Heinze, who is an American business The bank is sensible. As for the Bank of Montana, it is the main business bank of the American commercial bank..."

As expected of a know-it-all, he explained the inside and outside of it clearly.

Jesse Livermore is in high spirits!
I am Cao!

These relationships are entangled and complicated, and it may take a few words to say, but it is not easy to clarify the inside story.

When Thomas W. Lawson finished speaking, Jesse Livermore had a sense of clarity.

"Fake, Fake, Fake!" He used three national essences in a row to express his inner excitement.

After understanding these relationships, he only needs to pay close attention to these people.

As long as these people behaved as Zhao Chuanxin said, what happened three months later, Jesse Livermore dared to be sure, would definitely happen.

Mr. Zhao, amazing!

Thomas W. Lawson is also a fine man, and it is obvious at a glance that this is the case.

He squinted his eyes and asked: "Say, is there something going on again? Could it be that Mr. Zhao has returned to New York?"

Jesse Livermore looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so smart.

Seeing that Jesse Livermore didn't answer directly, Thomas W. Lawson already had the answer in his heart.

His eyes lit up: "If you are rich, don't forget each other! When you get rich this time, you should also bring your old friends with you!"

……

After Zhao Chuanxin sent Jesse Livermore away, he went back to the bedroom and had a good sleep.

Sleep until night, wake up with sleepy eyes.

He went outside the room and saw Freddie Pavitt standing by the door.

"You scared me." Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his eyes and said angrily. "Are you installing electric poles here?"

"..." Freddy Pavitt said with a sneer, "Master, I'll wait for you to wake up and tell you to go down to eat. Everyone is waiting for you to eat."

Zhao Chuanxin yawned greatly: "Then let's go."

After waiting, sure enough, Li Shutong, Liu Yuanshan, Ning An, and Mahina all sat in the guest seats cramped.

There is a plate and a knife and fork in front of him.

Zhao Chuanxin was displeased: "I said Freddy, you are really incompetent as a housekeeper. Look at this table, how many people can use knives and forks? Change chopsticks!"

Freddie Pavitt froze for a moment, which was his negligence.

But Miao Cuihua walked into the restaurant with a pair of chopsticks: "I brought the chopsticks."

Freddy Pavitt: "…"

I feel that my status is -1.

Just as I was about to say something, I wanted to find a place at Miao Cuihua's, but I saw a maid hurried in and said, "Mr. Pavitt, that Benjamin Goldberg is here again..."
