Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 452 Financial Crisis
At this point Wall Street speculators are almost pre-opening a grand celebration.In this war, only Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and other Spanish colonies cannot escape the clutches of the United States.In fact.These islands have long been physically occupied by the US military.Spain is only worth hoping for a bit of decency.Let the United States "buy" those colonies at a price.

America is caught in the orgy of imperial dreams.

Guan Xuqing flipped through the calendar and looked at the map on the wall.His eyes fell on the far side of the Pacific Ocean, and he murmured, "It's time too!"

People celebrating on Wall Street still don't know that a layer of dark clouds hanging over Wall Street is finally going to turn into a storm!

On January 1, the Wall Street stock market suddenly began to fall sharply after a long rise.From the opening of the market in the morning to nearly noon, in just three hours, driven by the sharp drop in Wall Street military stocks, the Dow Jones Index on Wall Street fell by 5 points. In that time, the Dow Jones fell 265.33 points.In just one day, the Wall Street stock market fell to the highest record, and all the people who were originally optimistic suddenly broke their glasses!Within one day, an unprecedented financial earthquake occurred on Wall Street. Dozens of banks and bond companies went bankrupt because they could not withstand the sudden blow. Chose to commit suicide.

Some of the remaining investment banks saw that the limelight was wrong, and hurriedly raised their lending rates. The overnight lending rate, which was originally only about 7%, soared 300 times.In this market atmosphere, the stock market suffered a fourth consecutive setback, falling by 30.41%.Wall Street investors and well-known economists were all dumbfounded. The day before, they were making extremely optimistic forecasts on the Wall Street stock market, but only one night later, the richest street in the world encountered an unprecedented As a result of the blow, the value of Wall Street commercial investors shrank by more than 40.00% overnight.This is nothing, the most painful thing is the American arms dealers headed by DuPont. Due to the outbreak of war a few days ago, military stocks rose wildly, even exceeding their expectations. These people were so happy that their noses bubbled out. , Until the day before the storm hit, they were still dreaming of getting rich, but today, they lost their fortune in one day. Even the wealth of the powerful DuPont Company has shrunk by nearly half. After receiving this news, Eugene DuPont felt as if he wanted to die.

That's not counting, and then the storm, like a sudden plague, began to spread rapidly from Wall Street to the whole city of New York, and then spread to Washington, Philadelphia, Houston, Los Angeles and other major American cities. In the midst of great panic, in the face of this financial turmoil like a flood, the little pride that the Americans had just gained from the Spanish-American War disappeared.Soon, the impact of the financial crisis destroyed the economic momentum of the major industrial cities.Due to the sharp shrinkage of stocks, one-third of Houston's mining and rolling mills are on the verge of shutting down, Philadelphia's newly funded seaport has also had to stop construction, and almost all new projects such as railways and bridges in Los Angeles have come to a standstill.Countless factories were closed everywhere, and a large number of employees were forcibly fired. The streets of the United States were always full of demonstrations and demonstrations. Give us jobs." "Down with the speculators on Wall Street!" Angry people blocked the gate of the state all day long, causing jobs to be paralyzed.

The U.S. Congress and members of Congress put down all the work at hand and argued for two full days. In the end, they had no clue at all. They were analyzing what caused the storm, why there was no sign in advance, and After the United States just defeated Spain, it stands to reason that the stock market should rise wildly. This situation is simply contrary to the laws of economics.Some people speculated that those big investors such as Morgan and Rockefeller were playing financial speculation, and the main target was DuPont, the biggest beneficiary of the war. On the contrary, Morgan and Rockefeller were also hit hard in this financial turmoil, and it can be said that they lost to grandma's house.

The next analysis came to a deadlock again. If it is not a large company in the United States, could it be a foreign financial investor? Impossible. Since the opening of the stock market in the United States, there has never been a foreign investor getting involved in Wall Street. The United States has a complete financial system and a comprehensive financial security system. It is impossible for foreigners to get involved, let alone without that kind of strength.What's more, the foreign companies registered on Wall Street are all companies with relatively weak economic strength, which is also a measure for the protection of the US financial system.They never imagined that it was the Chinese emperor on the other side of the ocean who made this impossible possible through a series of sophisticated arrangements.

In view of the violent financial shock this time, the United States had to explain to the people to stabilize the mood of the American people on the verge of collapse.The next afternoon, US Federal Reserve Bank and Treasury Secretary Spike said: "The Wall Street stock market has only suffered some shocks. This is an inevitable performance after the stock market has risen sharply for many days. Some speculators are temporarily affected by speculation, and investors do not need to panic."

He also said: I don't think this is a stock market crash.In any case, the first thing is to defend the stability of the dollar exchange rate.Although there had been speculative activity in the US dollar the previous night, the speculation had subsided by this time.At the same time, John, the chief analyst of the Wall Street Stock Exchange, also gave a speech, claiming to have repelled the speculators the night before.But almost without exception, Americans are skeptical of their words.

Perhaps because of the strong U.S. intervention, or because the confidence of U.S. and financial managers infected investors, after four consecutive sessions of sharp losses, Wall Street stocks rebounded strongly on this day, with the Dow Jones index up 4 points, an increase of up to 118 percent.

On the same day, Spike reaffirmed with confidence: "The current exchange rate policy of the United States will not change, and the only losers in this event will be speculators."

Unexpectedly, on the night when Spike's confident speech was just published, Wall Street suffered the most painful drop in history. The Dow Jones Index plummeted by nearly 554.26 points on the original basis, which led to the collapse of the Wall Street Stock Exchange. It had to be suspended urgently, which was also the first suspension since the opening of the US stock market.As soon as the news came out, the mood of all the American people fell to the lowest point. They felt an unprecedented loss, and they felt that they had been tricked by lies. Therefore, Americans all over the country took to the streets to protest and strongly demanded the removal of the current President Roosevelt. Dissolve Congress!Since Theodore Roosevelt took office, his big stick and gold dollar policies have won a lot of applause for this term, but at this time he is facing the biggest crisis of public confidence since he entered politics.Where should the American road converge?
But at the same time, the financial investigative team of Wall Street also came to an astonishing conclusion after a few days of investigation and analysis. Investment companies in New Zealand sold a large number of U.S. dollars to borrow pounds, so people are wondering whether the root cause of this crisis lies in the distant United Kingdom?

With this kind of speculation, people will further speculate on what kind of investors in this world are capable of destroying the United States, which is known as the financial empire, in one fell swoop. There is no doubt that everyone will say it is Rothschild!
Because the Rothschild family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and the world, known as the "Sixth Empire" in Europe. As early as the 18th century, the founder of this family, Mayer Rothschild, created the world's first multinational The company pioneered international financial business and is known as the father of international finance and a European banking giant.If there is one person in this world whose ability and wealth can destroy the United States, it must be Rothschild.

The Rothschild family banks spread all over major European cities. They have their own intelligence collection and rapid transmission systems. Even the royal families and nobles of European countries use their systems when they need to transmit various information quickly and secretly.They also pioneered the international financial settlement system. Taking advantage of their control over the world gold market, they first established an account settlement system in the family banking system that does not require physical gold transportation.Someone once said that in today's world, the wealth of the Rothschild family alone accounts for half of the world's total wealth.Although this is a bit exaggerated, it shows from one aspect how prominent and rich this family is.

In this world, I am afraid that no one else has a deeper understanding of the true meaning of gold than the Rothschild family.After investigation, the Americans found that before the storm came, the family gradually withdrew from the U.S. financial market. Because of this, they quietly stayed away from the center of this unprecedented financial storm in the world and distanced themselves from the U.S. financial market. relationship.

Now it seems that this family's approach seems to mean that there is no silver 300 taels here.

However, before the United States conducted further investigations on Rothschild, Morgan stood up to speak for his good friend. Before he returned to New York, he had been with Rothschild. Rothschild withdrew from the U.S. financial The reason for the market is not because he wants to attack the United States, but because he has lost interest in Wall Street. He has set his sights on China, a rapidly rising eastern power. Investment, transferred to China, because he believes that the future of the world will inevitably be in the hands of the Chinese!
