mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 434 Okay, okay, okay, it's so neat, right?

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to find an excuse to prevaricate.

But seeing the hope on Fritz Heinze's face, he changed his words: "Okay, where are you going?"

"Delmonico restaurant, good Italian food and French pastries."

More than good.

The eyeballs of the white-collar workers turned blue with jealousy.

Located on Beaver Street in Lower Manhattan, Delmonico's is one of New York's most upscale restaurants.

A casual meal can consume a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

Zhao Chuanxin blushed: "How much does that cost? I can eat very well. Rebecca often complains that I eat more and earn less. Let's find a place with large quantities and affordable prices."

Fritz Heinze said proudly: "In the future, the whole of New York will be my pool of funds. I can sit on the same level as Rockefeller and Morgan. What is a homely meal? For a woman like Rebecca, only Del Monte Nico's restaurant can match her beauty!"

Listening to Fatty Bai pretending to be aggressive-hehe, did he show his chicken feet?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "That's good."

night.

Delmonico Restaurant.

Fritz Heinze anxiously took out his pocket watch to check the time.

This is the third time he has looked at his watch.

The waiter asked, "Sir, do you want to serve?"

"Are you in a hurry? Is the guest who didn't see me here yet?"

The waiter was ashamed: "Sir, do you need to open the red wine to sober up first?"

"Open it."

At this time, the restaurant door was pushed open.

When Fritz Heinze saw Zhao Chuanxin, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and his heart became hot.

But Zhao Chuanxin entered the door, but Fritz Heinze did not see Rebecca Levi following him.

Fritz Heinze scratched his head.

Zhao Chuanxin saw the fat man exuding a domineering aura in the crowd at a glance, and walked over at a leisurely pace.

Fritz Heinze widened his eyes: "Where's Rebecca?"

Unbuttoning his jacket, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Damn, I thought about it, women can't come to such a high-end place, and they will embarrass me if they come, do you know that she doesn't know any rules? How presumptuous. "

I boil!

She doesn't understand anything, but you do, don't you?
You think I'm fucking treating you to dinner, don't you?
Fritz Heinze is furious!

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Zhao Chuanxin was full of concern: "Huh? Your face is so ugly, it must be because of the wind and cold? It's not a few days, I'm afraid it's going to cool down and rain again, so pay attention to adding clothes. Rebecca also wants to come Seeing and seeing, I was scolded by me. I said that you can’t eat a feast on dog meat, so go and rest when you are cool..."

The more Fritz Heinze listened, the angrier he became.

Dog meat doesn't go to banquets, does it?

Okay, okay, so neat, right?
At this time, the waiter turned upside down: "Sir, since the guests have arrived, I will immediately notify the back chef to serve the meal."

"and many more!"

Zhao Chuanxin and Fritz Heinze shouted in unison.

The waiter stopped in bewilderment.

Without waiting for Fritz Heinze to say anything, Zhao Chuanxin picked up the menu first: "Little lamb chops, serve me six. Two steaks, ten croissants, and seafood...Why are you looking at me like this Bah, my friend treats guests, do you know who he is? Don’t think that he is chubby, he is a dick. He is very rich, richer than everyone here, you know? A dog sees people as inferior."

Fritz Heinze almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The waiter scratched his head, waited for Zhao Chuanxin to finish his order, and immediately left with a pen and paper and the menu as if fleeing.

Fritz Heinze remembered Zhao Chuanxin's words: I can eat very well, just find a place with a large quantity and a good price.

Apparently he wasn't lying.

Nima, invite a man to dinner, come to such an expensive restaurant, and order like this, isn't it nonsense?

Fritz Heinze wanted to cry but had no tears.

Zhao Chuanxin plugged the stopper of the red wine bottle, and put it in his pocket: "What are you doing with this stuff? It's flashy. Today is a dinner!"

Fritz Heinze: "..."

The anger was overwhelming, and finally it could only be turned into a sigh: "Waiter, open another bottle of Lafite, I must not get drunk today..."

What else can he do?

Is it forcing Zhao Chuanxin to drag his wife here now?
Let Zhao Chuanxin take out Lafite from his pocket again?
Can't afford to lose that person, you know?
When the food came, Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand: "Eat, you are welcome, we are not outsiders."

Fritz Heinze was silent.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't care about you. Although he is not used to using a knife and fork, he has a strong coordination ability and uses it more smoothly than others.

The wind blew away the clouds, the sky and the earth changed color, and there was a sputtering.

This is a silent dry meal.

Zhao Chuanxin was full, wiped the corners of his mouth, and patted his stomach: "Well, it is indeed the most upscale restaurant in New York, thank you Ang."

boom!
Fritz Heinze slapped the goblet on the table, which would have shattered if it hadn't been covered with a tablecloth.

With a dark face, he waved to the waiter to settle the account.

"It's $120, sir."

With tip, it was $150.

Good guy, one meal, almost emptied his wallet.

Zhao Chuanxin ate up the worker's two-month coolie wages for just one meal.

I really didn't expect that Zhao Chuanxin would spend so much money on food!

Now $650 has been spent on Zhao Chuanxin, and Mao hasn't made any money yet.

Now Fritz Heinze feels stuck.

People who hang around in finance usually don't care about consumption, but care about whether their IQ can stand the test.

Like Jesse Livermore, he usually bets just to prove himself right, not just for the money.

After leaving the restaurant, Fritz Heinze got into his carriage without even saying hello.

Zhao Chuanxin was very warm-hearted: "Goodbye, Fritz, see you tomorrow."

boom!
The car door slammed shut.

Fritz Heinze was tempted to tell him not to come to work.

But already spent $650, he wants to make the $650 worth it!
Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin must be allowed to continue to go to work.

It was also from this day that Zhao Chuanxin gained a hard-working ally in Fritz Heinze's company.

Every day, Zhao Chuanxin obtained information through the mouth of the white-collar worker to prevent any changes.

Fortunately, Fritz Heinze's plan has not changed.

……

JP Morgan attends the Episcopal Convention in Richmond, Virginia.

But he receives telegrams from all over the country every day, and New York has the most information.

Sunday night, October 1907, 10.

JP Morgan's secretary showed him the latest telegram.

"Sir, today's news is very interesting. There are several Wall Street white-collar workers who claim to have seen 'Wall Street Bear' Jesse Livermore go to Thomas W. Lawson's office. They are probably mixed up. "

Old Morgan had a bulbous nose, deep wrinkles between his brows, two thick beards, and eyes as bright as a falcon. He looked calm at his age.

Coupled with his taciturnity, it makes ordinary people dare not approach him.

Hearing this, his frown deepened: "Jesse Livermore is convinced that he is Zhao Chuanxin's trader. Does his appearance indicate that Thomas W. Lawson is also colluding with Zhao Chuanxin?"

"This... no one said."

"Among these people, choose a reliable liaison officer. I want him to pay close attention to Thomas W. Lawson's movements."

"Yes, sir." The secretary said respectfully: "By the way, there is one more thing. There is a Chinese named Kang Youwei, and he wants to talk to you personally."

Like the old John Rockefeller, JP Morgan is not interested in the Chinese as the ground gun of the United States.

Even if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty came, it was no big deal.

He shook his hand: "No need."

"But." The secretary said: "What he said on the phone is related to Zhao Chuanxin."

"Huh?" JP Morgan glared at the secretary, panting for breath. "Return the telegram and ask him to call my room."

The secretary was taken aback.

The more powerful the character, the less tempered he is. The person who said this must have a bubble in his head.

Just like holding a sharp knife in one's arms is bound to kill one's heart, a person who has been in a high position for a long time must have a temper.

When the man is angry, his blood splashes five steps, and when the emperor is angry, his blood flows away.

The secretary hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, next time I will definitely finish it all at once."

"Go."

……

at the same time.

In the meeting room of the unlisted office, other companies in the building have already closed get off work, but this place is brightly lit.

Thomas W. Lawson sat in the main seat, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, tomorrow is a very important day. No matter who it is or what it is, I will not allow you to ask for leave. Tomorrow, even if there are knives in the world, it will be more important than usual. Get here an hour earlier. In view of tomorrow's heavy business, I promise to triple the salary, but I will not allow any mistakes, cheer me up!"

The crowd was awe-inspiring.

……

God does not make beauty.

On Monday, October 1907, 10, there was an icy autumn rain.

The rain is not heavy, but breath is visible.

Some people have already put on woolen coats to keep out the cold.

There are a lot of good tailors on Wall Street.

A few days ago, Zhao Chuanxin used the money given by Fritz Heinze to tailor a suit of clothes for himself.By the way, the fortitude armor was re-sewn.

The outside is a double-breasted polo coat, which is not very heavy because it is not that cold.

The vertical striped suit inside has gun lapels, which are very wide, and the shirt inside the vest has a long straight collar.

Raising the hand, it can be seen that in addition to the Thor's Hammer bracelet, a Cartier Santos pilot watch produced in 1904 is stacked on the wrist, with a leather strap that is very rare nowadays.

Rounded rectangular screw bezel flanked by a beaded blue spinel cabochon crown.

This is a truly modern watch. Small is the fashion nowadays, so the square dial looks a bit cramped on Zhao Chuanxin's wrist, but wearing it is the most beautiful boy even on Wall Street.

He went to the company, and the white-collar "friend" saw him and asked in surprise, "Why do you look different today?"

Of course it's different, this is a "power suit", and Zhao Chuanxin doesn't usually wear it like this.

He looked serious: "Of course, because today is a big day."

At this time, Fritz Heinze came in from the door and just heard Zhao Chuanxin's words. Today he gave Zhao Chuanxin a good face and said in high spirits: "Yes, it's a big day. Tonight, Ethan , you must bring Rebecca to our celebration banquet. Haha, with me on Wall Street, Heinze, who dares to be king? What kind of Wall Street giant bear, what kind of financial mastermind, let me wait for a while!"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, yes, we must bring her to the celebration banquet. You are almost done, don't invest any more, we have made enough money."

Every word Zhao Chuanxin said was sincere and true.
