[342] Salvage the sunken ship?

Long Hao finished speaking in one breath, full of passion, but the courtyard was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the tip of a needle could be heard falling to the ground!

Uh, is Long Hao's speech not shocking enough?

No, no, the guests present were overwhelmed by the shock, their brains were unable to respond, and they fell into a state of collective silence for a while.

Salvage shipwrecks from previous centuries?

Divide up the gold and silver treasures inside?

Oh, my God, the Earl of the North Sea, he, he really dares to think! !

Those are all large ships of nearly [-] tons, sunk to the bottom of the sea for hundreds of meters, where can you salvage them if you want?

You just brag!

You put satellites! (Well, this is an era before satellites...)

What mysterious scientist, what valuable technology to salvage sunken ships, Earl, do you think we are all three-year-olds?

What is your intention in telling such a superficial lie that can be easily exposed? !

"How is it? Are you interested in investing in this plan?"

Long Hao spread his hands, his face full of bewilderment: "Hehe, to tell you the truth, in addition to technology, it also requires a lot of luck to salvage shipwrecks in the age of great voyages. Tonight, the reason why I put on a Chinese national The meal-sharing dinner is just to tell everyone that salvaging the sunken ship is very risky, and there may not be any income in the early stage, just like the white meat in the brine... But as long as I can persist, I, Long Hao, will use my My reputation assures you that the sunken ship will be salvaged, and the treasures inside will be extremely rich! Hehe, at that time, your dividends will definitely make Morgan and Rockefeller jealous! I can announce that the new generation of wealthy Americans , will be born tonight! Everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must seize it!"

What Long Hao said was full of arrogance, but the rich people below were more cautious.

First explain that there is no income in the early stage. Are you planning to only get in and out?

If everyone had some doubts about Long Hao before, now, everyone's doubts are even greater!

Everyone is rich and famous, and no one is stupid.No one would let go of the courage to invest in such an extremely slim hope!

Someone asked: "Master Earl, if you want to join this investment plan, how much do you need to invest in advance?"

"Good question!"

Long Hao opened his arms, raised his fingers, and boasted: "I plan to divide this investment plan into 10 million shares, priced at 10 US dollars per share. You are welcome to subscribe based on your strength. After tonight, the undersubscribed part will be distributed by I bought all of my Longyan Company! When the sunken treasure ship is salvaged, I will distribute dividends to all investors according to the holding ratio of the [-] million shares. I will never hold back any dividends I get! How is this fair? Come, come. Those who are interested should seize this opportunity, [-] dollars a share. Only tonight, after tonight, the shares in salvaging the sunken ship will no longer be sold!"

10 million shares, with a total price of [-] billion U.S. dollars, the combined net worth of the rich here is probably less than one-tenth!

Will you buy it?

Only a fool would buy it!

Hear here.There were boos from the rich group: Hey, everyone is a person of status, Earl, please use your brain and come up with a reasonable plan to trick us into raising funds.[-] million shares... Isn't this an obvious insult to our IQ?

Someone asked again: "My lord, assuming that only one-tenth of the 9000 million shares are sold, and you will buy the remaining [-] million shares, may I ask... do you have cash?"

This is a good question, let alone 9000 million shares, even 5000 million shares, the total price has reached [-] million US dollars!

This astronomical amount of money, the Earl of Beihai paid in cash?

Listen clearly, it's 9 million!

It's not 9 million, and it's not 9 million. You can invest 9 million US dollars in the previous ca, but now you have to spend [-] times the money, Earl of Beihai, can you do it?

Everyone stopped their mouths, held their breath, and looked at Long Hao eagerly.

How much does the Earl of Beihai, who spends money like water, have in his family... I believe everyone has been curious for a long time!

Long Hao's face froze for a moment, but then he unfolded it, and he replied: "I will cash out, but it is not calculated according to the stock price. I have just said that Ailong Shipyard has something that other countries in the world do not have. Salvage sunken ship technology, so, on behalf of Longyan Strategic Investment Company, I will finally contribute 500 million US dollars as equity.”

500 million... versus 9 million? !

Nima, is this gap too big?

Earl of Beihai, do you have the nerve to say so? !

There were boos everywhere, and someone asked: "We are paying $10 per share, but Earl only needs to pay $500 million. Is this account too ideal?"

Long Hao said in displeasure: "What do you mean I only paid 500 million US dollars? I am a shareholder of Ailong Shipyard. The biggest reliance of this investment plan is the technology of salvaging sunken ships. I call it investing in technology, not to take advantage of you!"

However, up to now, no matter how Long Hao explained, this group of shrewd rich people have already seen it: this is a trap!This is seventy-eight times out of ten the Earl of Beihai's trap to 'trap money', and it's an extremely clumsy trap!I was fooled because my head was squeezed by the door, anyway, I would never be fooled...

Later, some people raised doubts about the technology of salvaging the sunken ship, and Long Hao responded lightly.

"Okay, I only explain this investment plan to this point, next, please come up with real money and subscribe for shares!"

Long Hao waved his hands to stop 'answering questions', raised his hands to 'show off', and blinked his eyebrows: "Half an hour, I only give half an hour, such a great opportunity to make money, everyone, don't let it go away." Slip through the cracks!"

What money making opportunity?This is your chance to make money, right?

There was silence in the crowd, and many rich people had made up their minds, so I wouldn't subscribe!After half an hour, I will go to the backyard to have a barbecue!

"I subscribe for 10 shares..."

In the darkness, a soft and pleasant voice broke the silence: "On behalf of the Carbonella family, I subscribe for 10 shares!"

The sound fell to the ground, and the lights on the second floor were turned on very cooperatively. Under the lamp post, a tall and moving figure stood, it was the 'Pretty Widow' Chini Carbonella!

10 shares? !

100! !

The rich people around were shocked: this beautiful woman.What are you crazy about?Going to jump into this big pit?Goodness, is that proverb true?Are beauty and intelligence always inversely proportional to women?

"Madam, please think twice!"

Coentram, who was closely following Chini, reacted, and hurriedly hissed to stop her.

Madame was bewitched by that 'devil'!

100 million US dollars, you can hear a sound when it hits the sea.Investing in this damn 'salvage shipwreck project' is absolutely worthless!

Coentrao almost knelt down to Chini Carbonella!

"It's okay, I have my own opinion!"

Qi Ni patted the old housekeeper's shoulder softly, comforting her softly, but her tone was firm, obviously determined by the weight, 100 million US dollars is a deal!

No, Chini took out a check from her handbag and said, "This is one million dollars. Please check and accept it, Lord Earl."

"Haha, okay, okay, thank you Mrs. Caponella for your great support!" Long Hao smiled happily, took the check, and handed it to Ashley beside him for inspection.

Ai Shili and Yuan'er, one on the left and one on the right, are Long Hao's two beautiful little secrets.

Ai Shili checked the check, and Yuan'er filled out an equity certificate on several cases.

Ai Shili rolled up her beautiful sideburns.Crisp voice: "There is no problem with the check!"

Yuan'er also filled out the '[-] Investment Share Certificate' almost at the same time, and she showed her face to the audience with a generous expression.Then it was kindly handed over to Chini Carbonella.

The whole scene is very harmonious and friendly.

At this moment, Wade, who is good at seizing opportunities, also jumped out. He took a heavy camera and aimed at Long Hao and the four under the lamppost, shooting frantically.

"Hello Earl. I am Dejong Wade, the editor-in-chief of the San Jose Courier-Journal. Please express your opinion on this amazing shipwreck salvage plan. May I ask how this plan will affect the stock price of Longyan Company... "

"Hello, Mrs. Carbonella, may I ask. Why are you the first to stand up and subscribe for this share? And it was a big sum of US$100 million when you sold it. May I ask, what impact will such an investment have on your family..."

"My lord, I'm Louisiana, a reporter from the San Jose Courier-Journal. Excuse me, are you free to accept an exclusive interview with this newspaper after the meeting?"

"Mrs. Carbonera, can I also have a brief interview with you? You are a businessman from Portugal. Does this investment mean that your family will shift its business focus to the United States?"

After Wade finished the filming, he put down the camera and asked Long Hao and Chini a while, and Louisiana also responded very quickly. She ran out and proposed to have an exclusive interview with Long Hao and Chini.

For a moment, the guests in the entire courtyard were a little overwhelmed by the sudden incident that the reporter interviewed.

Editor in chief?reporter?

How did they get in here?

This is a high-end private salon!

Hey, I know those two people, a man and a woman. Didn't that man claim to be from the Aviation Merchant Club?How did he suddenly become the editor-in-chief of the Courier-Journal?

Damn, he took a lot of photos just now, if it is published in the newspaper, wouldn't the tigress in my house jump up and bite? !

Tsk tsk, this female reporter looks pretty good, her thighs are exposed, her lines are beautiful, it must be very cool to clip her...

In the dark, the reactions of many guests were different. Most of them were very surprised by the appearance of Wade and Louisiana, and then became angry and even doubted: whether this was arranged in advance by the Earl of Beihai, using reporters to set off the atmosphere in order to lure More people jumped to the big hole he dug...

Perhaps it was the photo interview of the Wade duo that had an effect. After Chini stepped down, several guests stood up and announced that they would subscribe for shares in this 'investment plan'.

Although the total amount they subscribed was not much, less than [-] U.S. dollars, they continued the good start that Chini Carbone had started.

However, the careful local rich people found that these guests who followed suit and invested were all unfamiliar faces, that is to say, they were all maritime merchants, and they all came to San Francisco this time!

Hmph, these people are in the same group as Chini Carbonella, and also in the same group as the treacherous and cunning Earl of the North Sea. Don't be fooled, don't be fooled by their double reed show!

The local tycoons who thought they had discovered the truth kept their mouths curled up and their hands behind their backs, and stayed silent in the darkness.Make up your mind just to keep silent!

No matter what you say, I just don't pay, let's see what you can do with me?

After several marine merchants subscribed, the atmosphere in the big courtyard fell into a stagnant low tide again. Long Hao's facial muscles twitched slightly, and then forced a smile: "It seems. Everyone is still thinking about it, still waiting and watching... ...Okay, there is still a period of time before the half-hour stock subscription time limit, everyone is welcome to communicate with each other and make up your mind... Hehe, I still say the same thing, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life !"

Paralyzed.We will regret it for the rest of our lives if we invest money in you!Ouch, I'm so hungry, can I abstain first and go out to eat barbecue?

Many rich people slandered in their stomachs.

However, Long Hao's "ultimatum" style words still had some effect. After thinking about it, a small group of local rich people were tempted: anyway, for $10 a share, I would buy hundreds of shares.It will neither lose too much nor offend the 'God of Wealth'.Why not do it?

Just as this group of people were about to spend their money, a rumor quickly spread in the dark courtyard...

"Hey, have you heard that the Earl of Beihai is in financial crisis!"

"Uh, no? He just invested 900 million US dollars in CA, and placed an order for a 2-ton luxury cruise ship with Ailong Shipyard. The capital is extremely abundant, how could he encounter financial crisis? Others Not to mention, the current stock market is quite good, the stock price is rising every day, and the Earl of Beihai is making money every day!"

"What do you know? The rise in stocks is not cash. The financial crisis I am talking about is a lack of cash! The Earl of Beihai is short of cash!"

"Lack of cash? This is unlikely! He owns a gold mine in Alaska, how could he be short of cash?"

"Hmph, you don't understand this? The Morgan consortium is already restricting the outflow of gold from Alaska... Let me give you a reliable gossip. Those checks issued by the Earl of the North Sea were issued by Rothschild De family, and just yesterday, the bank of the Rothschild family in the western United States announced that due to insufficient cash reserves, it will not accept withdrawal requests exceeding US$10 for three months!"

"Huh? Don't accept withdrawals, so don't its depositors go crazy?"

"Shh, I told you it's gossip. You shouted so loudly, do you want everyone to know? Besides, the $10 limit has little impact on ordinary people..."

"Oh, I was reckless... Then, the Earl of Beihai is really in financial crisis?"

"Who said no? Think about it. Today's private banquet is really weird. Salvage a sunken ship? Hey, there is no boat that can dive more than 20 meters now. If you want to salvage a treasure ship that is hundreds of meters deep, I think you have to wait at least 100 years!"

"Hey, so the Earl of Beihai's investment plan...is a fake?"

"You just found out? According to my estimation, this is a means for him to collect money to tide over the difficulties. Think about it, he has already said that there will be no income in the early stage, that is to say, the money he collected is not worth the interest No need to pay, and as long as he lasts until the Rothschild family's bank unfreezes him, he will be able to survive the financial crisis safely!"

"It's a deception! It's so, so mean!"

"So, don't be a fool and give him the money... Also, what I told you just now is absolutely confidential, you just need to know it, don't tell anyone else!"

"Okay, thank you very much, I won't tell others...By the way, what's your last name?"

……

The so-called 'secret' spread faster, but within 10 minutes, all the rich people in the dark knew: the Earl of Beihai's large check was refused to pay by the Rothschild family's bank, and now it is in cash flow If the crisis of shortage is not resolved in time, the stock prices of all listed companies under his name will suffer a devastating blow!It is precisely because of this that he held this private party, threw out a so-called 'salvage sunken ship investment plan', and tricked everyone into paying to subscribe... This, this is a blatant attempt to scam money!

It has to be said that Long Hao's popularity is quite bad. Ever since everyone learned about his 'financial crisis', everyone's thoughts were surprisingly the same: it's not giving charcoal in a timely manner, but pushing the wall down!

Half an hour passed quickly, Long Hao coughed lightly, and the spotlight on the second floor hit him again.

"The time is up, friends who want to subscribe for shares can come out! It's the last chance, is there anyone..."

However, no matter how Long Hao yelled, the surrounding darkness was completely silent, as if there was no one else: Paralyzed, it was obvious that he was lying to us, who else would come to him?

"Ahem, I, TK Morgan, subscribed for [-] shares in my private name."

"I, Stevenson, in the name of this term of the city government, subscribe for [-] shares."

After waiting for 3 minutes, only TK Morgan and the old mayor Stevenson stood up and subscribed for [-] shares symbolically, which can be regarded as a fig leaf for Long Hao's 'money-circulating operation' this time.

However, a mere $15 is still a drop in the bucket for Long Hao, who has encountered a financial crisis.

But the facts are the same, there is no other way... The 'Salvage Sunken Ship Investment Plan' that Long Hao vigorously promoted started with a shocking 14 million shares, but ended hastily with less than [-] shares subscribed. It can be described as anticlimactic and bloody. In reality, the earl of Beihai, who has been in the limelight recently, was slapped hard and loud!

Let you be arrogant, let you be domineering, let you show off everywhere with beautiful women in your arms!Hmph, are you in a cash crisis now?

Let's see how you end up!

When the market opens tomorrow, we'll dump all your company's stock, and step on your sinking head again!Whoa, what a joy! (To be continued..)
