"The manager of United Mining is Jimmy. Tell him not to stop him. Maybe he will work for the same company in the future. Don't ruin the current relationship." Sheffield's smile was as bright as a summer flower. He shook his head as he walked and said, "Che

Check to see if there have been any recent moves by Knickerbocker Trust and Investment Company, especially the personnel transfers in the past three months. If so, tell me immediately."

The current financial industry in the United States is a big bubble, not inferior to the subprime mortgage crisis at all. Moreover, in this era, there is no Federal Reserve to come to the rescue, and there are no regulatory agencies. This is better. What a free market. The same is true.

A battlefield of freedom.

Moreover, the current stock market in the United States does not have any circuit breaker mechanism. If there is a panic, large companies with a market value of over 100 million will disappear in an hour without waiting until the next day.

The role of Knickerbocker Trust and Investment Company, like Lehman Brothers in the subprime mortgage crisis, became the first card in a series of falling dominoes. After the collapse of Knickerbocker, banks developed strong distrust of the trust industry

Due to the panic, the bank required the trust company to repay the loan immediately. The trust company, which was double-faced with demands, had no choice but to borrow money from the stock market, and the interest rate on the loan suddenly shot up to a sky-high price of 150%. At the same time, the panic caused banks to be reluctant to lend money, and the United States

Market liquidity stagnated.

In just ten days, the money shortage spread across the country, filtering through all banks like a big filter.

"The stock of the Knickerbocker Trust Investment Company in New York is $52 per share. Look, we have a very powerful opponent." Sheffield soon found out the reality of his opponent and winked at Evelin.

, he has already estimated the price at which he can take over the deal. If the trust company agrees to the price of 2.6 yuan per share, he is willing to reluctantly become the new boss of the company. "If they pay now, I can even do it."

Consider selling them a few mines, don’t you like to use physical companies as carriers?”

"William, you mean there will be an economic depression!" Even if Evelin didn't know all about Sheffield's preparations, she also knew that United Company had been collecting cash flow since last year, squatting in the grass like a wolf.

Obviously, this company that came to her door has attracted the attention of her man, and this kind of attention is definitely malicious. Evelin couldn't help but worry about this confrontation. The reason was naturally what the slave owner said.

Giant.

"Don't worry, once there is an economic depression, there are two most useful things, one is cash and the other is basic factories. My company covers such a wide range of industries, it can be said that the cost of every link is the lowest, grabbing the market to survive, and

I personally don't care about profits. Even if there is only one company left in the country, I believe it is my company. This is the binding of the Concern model. My company will only be defeated as a whole, not because of one of its links.

"Sheffield also reassured Evelin and explained the key.

In fact, it is similar to the prime minister's iron chain and boat in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Either the entire army is wiped out, or nothing happens at all.

"I want to withdraw the funds from the foundation! What if it's hard to fight? It's better to be more prepared." Evelin was still frightened by the appearance of Knickerbocker Trust Investment Company and wanted to help her man.

.

"No, our family's most valuable wealth is not in my hands at least for now." Sheffield shook his head and said, "You should keep the foundation's money for yourself. That money will not work. If it comes to me jumping off the building,

One day, maybe the foundation's money will make me give up the idea of ​​committing suicide."

"Don't talk like that. In fact, it's okay to do nothing and buy the bottom afterwards. Just don't be greedy." Evelin became anxious when she heard Sheffield joking about jumping off a building.

"It's not that I'm greedy, it's those in the financial industry who are too greedy." Sheffield corrected, "If they hadn't been greedy, this economic depression would not have come. By then they would have discovered that bonds and stocks are all

A piece of waste paper."

The money from the Evelyn Charitable Foundation cannot be touched. This money will not be considered a big sum of money in the following days. Also, what Sheffield said is true. The most valuable part of the Sheffield family is really not worth it.

No longer in his own hands, but in the hands of Lafayette. Regarding the upcoming confrontation, he had to find an opportunity to communicate with Lafayette. As long as the communication went smoothly, it would be half the battle.

After discovering the key to the economic depression, Knickerbocker Trust Investment Company, Sheffield felt comfortable. How the economic crisis broke out now, all he had to do was focus on the source. Even the upcoming mid-term elections were not important in the eyes of slave owners.

Well, mid-term elections are held once every two years. Originally, if you lose this time, you must win the next time.

It is just to serve as a reference for the real national election. Use the next two years to identify problems and prepare for the real decision on who will have the final say in the country in the next four years.

"Evelin, take Alice around California. I have to go back to Arlington now." Sheffield pinched Evelin's chin and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"You're going too far!" Evelin slid directly into the slave owner's arms and complained, "You're just a bad thing."

"The United States is a land of freedom, and of course we welcome any enterprise to develop here. Likewise, the more capital flows in, it will also promote our industry."

United Mining Manager Jimmy, who had received the boss's instructions, expressed his friendliness to the manager of United Copper Mining Company, but the conversation immediately changed, "We have a harmonious relationship with the local Indians. If there is such an instruction,

If you see an Indian wearing an armband like this, don't be violent!"

After that, Jimmy took out the clothes with the black gold company logo and explained, "These are our Indian employees. If there is a conflict, although everyone is white, we must give an explanation to our employees. Please remember this."

, there’s nothing left.”

The person who came on behalf of the United Copper Mining Company took a look at the armband and said bluntly, "Dear Mr. Jimmy, I must say that this style of armband is very ugly."

"Maybe!" Jimmy looked at each other meaningfully and said, "I just hope that everyone can coexist peacefully."

"I just hope that everyone can coexist peacefully!" In the headquarters of Knickerbocker Trust Investment Company, Mike spoke to the directors present about United Mining's attitude with weird emphasis, causing a burst of laughter.

"It's like I said, gentlemen!" After he finished mocking his opponents, Mike restrained his smile and continued, "For speculators, New Mexico is a virgin land to be developed, inspired by the dream of getting rich overnight.

, there is no force that can stop them from exploring. In my opinion, the attitude of United Mining is just a clamor with insufficient confidence. Even an enterprise like United Company cannot go against the wishes of speculators in the entire United States."

"Not bad, not bad!" The praises from other directors made Mike feel like he was being responded to by a thousand responses. He didn't directly interrupt, hoping that this kind of praise would last longer.

"The market is so hot, we don't have to worry about sales at all. As long as you work, you can make money. What a high-quality asset. Just like the steel industry." Mike said with bewilderment in his voice, "This is a very, very good opportunity. We still have

What are you waiting for? Let’s start right away and acquire small businesses other than United Minerals first.”

Sheffield does not pursue absolute monopoly in any industry. Even in the automobile industry, it supports several car companies to pretend that they are competing. In fact, he also holds a lot of shares in some copper mines in New Mexico, but they are not under the name of a joint company.

Next. This pretended competitive environment obviously allowed United Copper Mining Company to see opportunities.

Sheffield, who had not yet taken a breath after arriving at Arlington, received the news that the United Copper Mining Company had acquired the mine. He sighed and said, "How embarrassing is this? I made a fortune before I even started. It's really embarrassing."

Naturally, these acquired mining shares cannot be without the slave owner's share. Seeing that the malicious Knickerbocker Trust and Investment Company, with its own strength, gave away a handful at the beginning. This kind of operation can't help but make people feel respected.

, if this is not accepted, what if people feel that they look down on the other party if it spreads out, so, it must be accepted.

When Sheffield returned to Arlington Manor, she naturally communicated with Lafayette. Annabell quietly watched the heir's performance and asked slowly, "Are you even half sure? If so, just do it."

Sheffield, who was still ready to talk endlessly, was speechless for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Grandma, aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? You're half sure. Plus my half, isn't it 100% sure?" Annabel said as if you were very strange, "You came back just to ask, why don't you take the money?"

Will there be any problems at home if we go out to fight? Come with me to the bedroom, the one your grandfather left behind."

"Oh!" Sheffield had an unclear feeling. Looking at Lafayette's mathematical ability, what he said was so reasonable that it was almost impossible to refute, but he did not dare to say anything more. He followed Annabel and came.

I visited my grandfather’s bedroom once during my wedding.

After locking the door, Annabel took out a bunch of keys from her waist and asked Sheffield to move the bed board. A locked secret door appeared in front of the two of them. When the slave owner saw this scene, he suddenly felt that this was not the case.
Chapter completed!
