The latest chapter of the infinite military base, Volume II: My country 879. Housing contract, floating astronomy

Berlin, is about to usher in her new beginning.

At this time, Wang Weizhen also started his new trip to the United States. The first stop of his American tour still chose New York.

The city of New York is familiar to him. In the capacity of “Mr. Moyol”, he once set off a financial turmoil in the United States and the whole world.

In this financial turmoil, except for the “New York Union” headed by him, all people are losers, even the US government.

The financial crisis in that period caused the United States, especially the Jewish consortium, to suffer the most heavy blow. The Wittgenstein family earned a lot of money.

Now that the United States has emerged from the financial crisis, New York has become the most prosperous economic center in the world. From this point of view, I have to admire the strong vitality of the United States.

From the first minute of embarking on New York, Wang Weizhen felt a different kind of long-lost feeling.

New York is more prosperous than before, vehicles are flooding the streets, and those who are rushing seem to be unwilling to pause for a second.

Even more curious is that Wang Weizhen couldn’t find a decent hotel with empty rooms.

Is the American now so rich and likes to live in a hotel? Or is there any grand celebration in New York recently?

Wang Weizhen is not quite sure…

It was hard to find a small hotel in a very unremarkable place on the corner. The boss told him that there was a last room.

Although it is a little small, it is good not to sleep on the streets. But when the boss told Wang Weizhen the price, he was shocked.

I want 25 dollars for one night.

God. Wang Weizhen remembers that the per capita income of a family of four in the United States is about 6300 dollars, and the money that is so small in such a dilapidated hotel to spend the night is so heavy?

“Sir, do you want it?” The boss’s attitude became obviously impatient: “Without ten minutes, the only empty room will be booked.”

“Oh. Of course, this is one hundred dollars.” Wang Weizhen paid the money and took out another ten dollars: “Can you give me a bottle of wine? Ten dollars of wine.”

The boss’s attitude changed, and a bottle of wine was taken from the counter to Wang Weizhen.

“Give me two more cups.”

The boss quickly took out two quilts and Wang Weizhen poured the wine: “I like New York. I used to come in the past. Ah, I invite you to drink a few cups.”

The boss’s attitude has become more intimate…

A few glasses of wine, the two have become “friends” who have nothing to say, and in the process. As the boss just said, at least three guests came over and asked if there was an empty room.

It seems that the hotel industry in New York has prospered to a surprising level.

“Hey, Locke.” Wang Weizhen already knows the other person’s name: “Why is the room so nervous? Is there any major activity in New York?”

“Hey, Mr. Moyol, you really haven’t been to New York for a long time.” Locke said with great enthusiasm: “Now people all over the world are flocking to New York. War is a good thing, it drives it.” The entire US economy is booming, especially in New York. About a few months ago, house prices in New York began to skyrocket, and many people joined the ranks of real estate speculators. This led to the whole of Europe and the world. New York became The economic center of the world is everywhere. It is full of people everywhere, followed by the hotel full, and the price has been raised without limit…”

Wang Weizhen The deepest part of the heart was shaken down…

Locke is still telling the other party with enthusiasm… New York house prices have risen and risen, driving house prices in the surrounding cities of New York to rise again…

Then it led to the prosperity of the market and the soaring share price. Many Americans have given up their normal jobs and invested in the ranks of real estate speculators or the stock market.

Now it has even developed that there is no need to go to the house at all, as long as there is a house contract. And specialized institutions have begun to prosper, and they can be kept on their behalf. Buyers don’t have to deal with them at all. A house contract that is often bought in 2000 dollars. In a few minutes, it will change hands and rise to 2500 dollars. The new buyer will then wait for the next receiver again. Waiting again to get huge profits from it.

The entire New York, all-American economy has been driven again…

Wang Weizhen’s brow gradually wrinkled… Familiar, this scene is really familiar to him… He wants to tell Locke that this is definitely not the normal thing… but if he really said so. Locke must have thought that this guest in front of him was crazy…

……

New York Stock Exchange, 1966 year 1 month.

The new year has not started very much, but the stock exchange boom has reached an incredible level.

The crowds are moving, the stock price has soared from the beginning of the opening, everyone’s face is full of excitement, as if countless money is flying in front of their eyes.

All this is still so familiar to Wang Weizhen… The “Mr. Moyol” of the past, once staged a “good play” that made the world stunned.

There is nothing particularly exciting about Wang Weizhen, and he is sure that the stock market is not normal. This is a very irrational market. Maybe one day, the stock market will collapse like the past.

At that time, countless people will go bankrupt, and countless people will jump off the highest floor.

He is still not very clear about how this happened, but he knows that any behavior that is not normal in the stock market has a huge behind-the-scenes black hand pushing there…

What he wants to find is this “black hand.”

When he came out of the securities market, he found many brokerage companies around. And these companies have only one business:

Buy and sell a house contract!

He was very curious to randomly choose a company to go in, and then found that the level of excitement here is not inferior to the stock market.

“296 House Contract, Brascio Avenue, Bronx, 60000.”

“65000 USD!”

“70000, I am out 70000!”

“80000.. Hey, I am out of 80000 dollars!”

The quotation sounded louder, as if these were not money.

Finally, the 296 house contract on Brasio Avenue in the Bronx was taken by the guy who had $80,000. It was a middle-aged man with a very excited look on his face. He paid $80,000 and then signed a contract, not even getting the contract that should belong to him.

“Sir, why don’t you take the contract?” Wang Weizhen came to the man and asked.

The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him like a monster: “Are you crazy? Tomorrow. No, this contract will rise to more than $90,000 in the afternoon. Why do I have to pay more for the fee? Ah, young people, you probably came to New York for the first time. No one here will take the contract.”

Wang Weizhen nodded.

At this time, he saw another 27, 8 woman, bought a house contract in a poor location with 26000 dollars, but the woman’s face was equally excited. She rushed to a corner of the company and said to a little girl: “Hey. Alice, my mother bought it, we will have money soon.”

Her daughter has been waiting for her mother for a long time, probably only five or six years old, alone playing a shabby doll. When she heard the excitement of her mother, she probably didn’t understand what it meant: “Mom, I am hungry.”

“Ah, you will wait for me for a while, I will take you to eat when I have a good procedure.” The woman left her daughter excitedly.

“Alice. Hello.” Wang Weizhen came to Alice: “I am Moyol. Can I talk to you?”

“Hello, Mr. Moyol.” Alice, who was alone, raised her head. Look at the stranger in front of me: “Of course, but what do you want to say?”

Wang Weizhen sat down beside her: “Hey, is that your mother?”

“Yes. She is my mother, Alisya.” Alice smiled sweetly.

“So what about your father?”

“Ah, I have never seen a father.”

“Sorry, Alice.”

“It doesn’t matter, Mr. Moyol.”

“Hey, what is your mother doing?”

“She is dancing, but she never taught me to dance.”

Wang Weizhen nodded. “Are you hungry?”

“Yes, sir, I am hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since the morning.” Alice had some melancholy in her eyes: “But I am used to it, because I used to eat very little, sometimes I still Didn’t eat.”

“Alice, I told you not to talk to strangers.” Alisya, who had finished the procedure at this time, came over and grabbed her daughter, then looked at Wang Weizhen with a vigilant look.

“Madam, sorry.” Looking at the young mother, Wang Weizhen also stood up: “Your daughter is very cute, I can’t help but say a few more words to her.”

“Mom, this is Mr. Moyol.”

The voice of the daughter made Alisya’s look somewhat more relaxed: “Alice, what do you want to eat at noon?”

“Madam, please allow me to express my apologies.” Wang Weizhen said first: “I know that there is a good French restaurant near here. If you can agree, I would very much like to invite you to go with Alice.”

Alisya is relieved to hear this, and this is probably about pursuing himself…

……

Exquisite food, good environment, romantic music, Alisya and her daughter have never been to such a high-end restaurant.

This is a young rich man. If you can be seen by such a person, it is also a good thing. It is better than those alcoholics and gamblers who are around you all day… Of course, if he must be able to accept her daughter. …Alisya thought quietly in her heart…

Alice doesn’t care about this, she is more interested in these foods than other things…

Looking at the mother and daughter gorging, Wang Weizhen looked at them with a smile. When they looked up from the plate, Wang Weizhen asked Alice for a dessert, and then made a drink for Alisya: “Madam, I just saw that you bought a house contract worth 26000?”

“Call me Alisya.” Speaking of this matter. Alisya was excited again: “The location is not very good, but it will appreciate several times. I have money with Alice.”

From the brief conversation just mentioned, Wang Weizhen knew that Alisya was a stripper in an underground nightclub and was a single mother. Her man broke up with her very early. The life of mother and daughter has always been very poor. This made him curious: “Do you have 26000 dollars?”

“Ah, it’s not easy to get the money.” Alisya’s voice was a bit proud: “I sold all the things I could sell at home, and a house my father left for me.”

“You sold your house to buy another house?” Wang Weizhen felt incredible.

“The house doesn’t have much potential for appreciation.” Alisya felt that there was nothing at all: “Many people in New York did this, sold their houses, and bought more valuable housing contracts. Of course. Maybe we sold them. The house will soon rise, but it is nothing compared to what we got. Of course, even then, I have to borrow a large loan shark, but I believe I will return soon. Clear.”

Wang Weizhen Silenced, these people have completely lost themselves. He said slowly: “Alisya, ah, and you, Alice. Can I tell you a story?”

Alisya mother and daughter are very happy to hear the story. They listened to “Mr. Moyol” in a very low voice: “In 1593 year, a horticulturist named Cluseus found a very beautiful flower in Austria. He felt very novel and took some away. Its seeds, and then Cluseus moved from Vienna to the Netherlands, because the Dutch climate soil is very suitable for the growth of this flower, under the careful cultivation of Cluseus, it took a long time to produce bright flowers. Name it ‘tuber1d’. It is the tulip we are familiar with today…”

He looked at the mother and daughter who were interested in listening to it: “Because the tulip was a rare flower at the time, and it was really beautiful after flowering, it won the favor of the elites and was sought after by the officials. After witnessing this phenomenon, speculators began speculating on tulips. They first bought tulip bulbs at a high price and then sold them to the nobles of the court at a higher price. Gradually, the frenzy brought by this flower became A popular trend, more people joined the ranks of buying and selling tulips, even the sellers selling fish and selling vegetables were involved in the sale of tulips. They are willing to go bankrupt and buy a tulip bulb because they believe that Someone will buy it for more than double the price.”

Wang Weizhen 喝了一口咖啡:“到了1634年,由于大量外国商人听闻荷兰郁金香买卖非常红火,便奔赴荷兰参与到了郁金香投机当中,导致原本已经是天价的郁金香球茎价格再一次飞涨。至此,这场郁金香狂热已经持续了长达30余年。而阿姆斯特丹交易所为了满足郁金香的狂热交易,专门为此设立了买卖会场。在此后的两年里,一支最普通郁金香球茎的价格涨到了64盾,那是1637年的1月。仅仅一个月后,这支郁金香球茎的价格就成了1668盾,涨幅令人匪夷所思。然而更令所有人都出乎意料的是,就在短短两天后,这支郁金香球茎的价格约等于0.15盾XCHARXXCHARX”

Wang Weizhen 的声音变得更加低沉起来:“1637年2月4日,这一天所发生的事情是整个世界金融史上最大的悬案,而且没有之一。这天上午,在阿姆斯特丹以及各地的交易所里,郁金香的买卖如往常一样顺利进行着,商人们伸着脖子叫价,买主们从豪华的马车上走下来,看似与往常并无不同。当各种交易正进行着的时候,天知道究竟是怎么回事,有人开始将自己的郁金香合同倾售一空,这一刻,郁金香泡沫的第一枚骨牌被推倒了。随之而来的是所有人争先恐后的开始抛售自己的郁金香合同,因为谁也不想成为最后一个傻瓜。荷兰郁金香的价格市场瞬间跌到冰点,交易所内传出各种歇斯底里的怪声音,整个阿姆斯特丹沉浸在一种末日般的气氛里,郁金香泡沫宣告破灭。同年4月27日,荷兰政府在哀鸿遍野的情况下终于出面,下令终止所有郁金香合同的买卖。”

“Why is it a contract sale?” Wang Weizhen smiled and said: “Because the tulip itself belongs to the plant, whether it is a bulb or a flower, it is impossible to leave the soil for a long time and sell it in the trading market. It will die. So in the physical transaction On the basis of this, in order to satisfy the frenzy of speculation, the merchants invented a trading method that replaced the real thing with a contract. a. The 15 tulip flower was sold to b at the current price. After confirming that the stock of a is true, the two parties sign a copy. Contract, b pays a115 flower according to the contract, a sign on the contract to prove that he has transferred the flower to b, and then b wait until the price rises again, then take the contract to pay the money and then find the next buyer.”

Alisya also laughed: “These people are really idiots. If you change me, you will never do this!”
