1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 338 The Unexpected Person

"Yes, I clearly wrote it in the paper, but it's a pity that the paper just disappeared into the sea, and there is no news about it." Ye Luo smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect that the original paper on the rise of the U.S. stock market would become so popular that it seemed that everyone It was regarded as a classic by those speculators."

"People only want to hear what they want to hear, and they only want to see what they want to see. What you said when you were in college is really brilliant."

George couldn't help but agree, looking at the bustling crowd, there were almost several long queues of people seeing him off, it was really spectacular.

"I heard that your grandfather, Sir Jordan, was like this when he left Shanghai. Countless celebrities rushed to see him off. Unfortunately, I was very young at that time and can't remember." Ye Luo said with a smile. He said this because he was a child. Ah Qiao has mentioned many times that she escaped from the north and lived in Shanghai. What she remembers most clearly when she was young was the scene of a group of Chinese tycoons seeing off foreigners.

That scene left a deep mark on her little mind.

At this moment, little Aqiao, who was due to give birth in three months, could not come to see Ye Luo off, which made him regretful.

Although little Aqiao tried to sneak out many times, she was caught by the alert Xiaoli and Li Shuzhen. Later, in order to prevent little Aqiao from impulsively coming out to see off her son, Li Shuzhen did not even come to see her son off, but monitored him 24 hours a day at Ye Mansion. daughter-in-law.

Who let her have the first third generation of the Ye family in her belly? Money is extremely expensive.

Bai Xiuzhu mingled in the farewell procession and did not go on board the ship to say goodbye. However, Ye Luo caught a glimpse of her, wearing a small foreign dress and looking absolutely stunning.

The two looked at each other from a distance and smiled.

"Brother, I am going to the United States this time. I will probably stay for a year and a half, and I will leave the family to you." Ye Luo said to Ye Hao earnestly, as if he was the eldest brother.

Ye Hao nodded solemnly, patted his shoulder, and said with some reluctance: "Aluo, don't worry, big brother is at home and will never let anything happen to anyone! I will keep everything you told me firmly in my heart."

"Well, drink less, don't go to a brothel all the time, find a decent family to marry, and give me a nephew. Oh, by the way, don't forget about your marksmanship and martial arts." Ye Luo added a few words.

"Okay, okay, why are you nagging more than your parents!" Ye Hao quickly interrupted him, "During your absence, I will stop drinking. As for the brothel, since you stopped doing Fengming Tower business, I have been drinking for a long time. Gone."

"That's good. If you really have a sister you like, just ask your sister-in-law and Xiao Aqiao. They can help you take care of everything. By the way, if things don't work," Ye Luo continued.

Ye Hao paused and his eyes turned cold: "Don't worry, if what you said really happens, I will turn Shanghai upside down! With the strength we have accumulated now, who else can do anything once Zhang Dingyao leaves? us?"

"Remember, a arrogant soldier will be defeated." Ye Luo couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, brother has beaten more people over the years than you have eaten." Ye Hao nodded.

After taking care of things at home, Ye Luo said goodbye to a group of tycoons one by one. As he watched the ship ramp gradually rise, he suddenly realized that it had only been more than a year since he returned from overseas, and he was leaving his hometown again.

It was six years since I left last time, I hope it won't be too long this time.

"Teacher, are you seasick?"

A small head came out from behind.

Kong Lingjun grimaced, looking very painful.

This little girl is Ye Luo's eldest disciple and close disciple. Her studies with him have basically been completed. Ye Luo also thought about sending this little devil back to the principal's wife, but he didn't expect that she would know about going to the United States. After a while, the principal's wife asked Ye Luo to take her with her.

There is always a drag bottle next to him, which makes it difficult for Ye Luo to go to some sexy places.

He poked Kong Lingjun's belly angrily and said with a sneer: "Some people are obviously seasick, but they insist on saying they are not sick and insist on following them. It's okay now. Let me see how you can survive the ten-day trip? ” ˆ ˆ ˜ “Ugh!” I don’t know if Ye Luo’s poke was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Kong Lingjun’s face suddenly changed and he vomited into his pants!

"I" Ye Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Many people around him looked at her with laughter. He had to pick up Kong Lingjun who was vomiting, and while stroking her back, he walked towards the cabin.

When he came to the bathroom, Ye Luo found that there was also a foreigner who was vomiting and seasick.

When the foreigner saw them coming, he said hello sheepishly and looked very unhappy, but he still gave the younger Kong Lingjun a place to vomit.

"Are you Ye Luo?" The foreigner vomited a few more times. After feeling much better, he suddenly asked Ye Luo.

Ye Luo hugged Kong Lingjun and turned to look at him: "Do you know me?"

Shi Jianqiao and others were standing at the door. Ye Luo himself also carried a pistol. As long as the other party made any move, he would throw Kong Lingjun into the pit decisively, then draw his gun and shoot.

The foreigner was not hostile. He nodded and pointed to the newspaper on the sink: "Ugh~"

He was still vomiting, so Ye Luo had no choice but to lean over and read the newspaper.

It was an overseas newspaper written entirely in English.

There are many branches of well-known overseas newspapers in Shanghai, which specialize in publishing newspapers and magazines to serve the elite who understand foreign languages.

This newspaper is the "Global Economic News" from the United States. It has been stationed in Shanghai since 1910, but it has always been run by compradors and has average sales.

After all, there are very few Chinese who understand both economics and foreign languages, so they must be willing to buy such newspapers and periodicals.

"Are you the editor of Global Economic News?" Ye Luo asked.

The foreigner shook his head and nodded again.

The implication seems to be that he is from that company, but is not the editor.

Picking up the newspaper, Ye Luo glanced at it and found that the headline was news about the U.S. stock market——

"Will the crazy and terrifying U.S. stock market really keep rising? 》

The abstract of the text is as follows:

In March 1929, the U.S. Federal Reserve was concerned about the rise in stock prices and announced that it would tighten interest rates to curb the surge in stock prices. However, Charles Mitchell, the president of the National Bank of Commerce, considered his own interests and instead increased funds in the stock market. Invest to avoid falling stock prices.

Meanwhile, a large number of stockbrokers and bankers continued to encourage people to join in speculation.

The loudest among them was the famous scholar, Irving Fisher, an economist, mathematician, and econometrician from Yale University. Not only did he join the ranks of speculators, but he also declared in public speeches: "Stocks Prices have reached some sort of lasting peak."

"Ye, I read your paper. It was very well written." The foreigner was finally able to speak. He gave a thumbs up and his face was full of admiration.

"Oh, I'm just discussing the matter." Ye Luo shook his head and smiled.

"No, I'm referring to the article where you predicted the decline of the U.S. stock market." The foreigner said something shocking!
