Chapter 1235 One Thought of Hell (First update, please subscribe)
What is heaven?
What is hell?
There's never been an exact definition, but one thing is for sure.
Human destiny, life. Uh...uh, it all depends on luck.
Maybe a minute ago, you were drinking brandy and hooking up with a lady, and half a second later, her husband came to the door.
Edward looked at his dark blue eyes carefully and thought to himself silently.
This is why he never stays overnight.
Just to avoid this happening!
Simply playing poker is just exercise. There is no need to risk your life just to play poker.
Of course, it didn’t cost the family.
After all, Edward knew that his career was inseparable from Eileen and the support of the Rothschild family.
However, this does not prevent him from getting into other women's beds.
"What a pity. Your wealth and appearance would have made you the most famous guy in London."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Edward knew that the Sassoon family not only gave him wealth, but also gave him handsome appearance, but more importantly, it also gave him responsibility. Yes, he needed to avenge his family!
One man declares war on an empire!
What an arrogant thing!
But Edward's eyes were full of confidence. Of course, his purpose was not just revenge.
But for wealth!
For wealth!
He knows very well how much wealth the opportunity of silver depreciation will bring him. As long as he seizes this opportunity, his wealth will even become as rich as the Rothschild family.
"Wait until then! Erin..."
Their status will undergo a completely different change. God can testify that in the past days, Edward has always tolerated her unruliness and her rudeness in every possible way.
"Just wait a few more months!".
Edward tied his bow tie carefully. As a member of the upper class, everyone here is extremely particular. If you interact with those well-dressed people, you must be becoming like them.
Ten minutes later, Edward left his lover's home and returned to his home. For him, this was just an extremely ordinary day, and of course it was also a day full of expectations.
While smoking a cigar in the study, Edward kept waiting for the manager's call. After almost an hour, his phone rang.
"We have bought $5 million in silver futures at New York Trading..."
$5 million!
Plus two million pounds in London!
Of course, this money is just his. In fact, it includes investments from the Rothschild family and London dignitaries, and has already exceeded tens of millions of pounds.
Two months!
Two months later, the British-Indian Governor-General will announce the abolition of the "silver standard."
By then, the value of silver will surely plummet.
By then... everyone's wealth will have more than doubled.
Edward seems to have seen the day when his wealth will skyrocket again.
wealth!
Sometimes making money is so easy!
Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help but whistle, and he said to himself quite proudly.
"Wait until that day..."
Feeling proud, Edward picked up the newspaper from the table. There was a news in the newspaper - the price of gold and silver fell below 1:18.8!
"Aha! What a wonderful moment..."
That night, Edward had a good sleep. In his sleep, he even dreamed of being knighted and being awarded the title by the Queen herself.
He obtained status and wealth that no one in the Sassoon family had ever obtained...
In the dream Edward smiled happily.
However, he forgot that there is an old saying in China - it is easy to wake up from a good dream.
…
In the early morning, when Edward was sitting in the dining room enjoying breakfast and reading the newspaper as usual, he suddenly screamed.
"This, this is impossible!"
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Irene looked at Edward who was shocked and confused.
"This, this is not true. This, this is impossible, they, they don't have that much gold..."
"What? What's wrong? Honey? What happened?"
Looking at her pale husband, Irene's eyes were full of confusion.
"This, this is not true..."
The lost Edward ignored Eileen. He stood up in a hurry and rushed out desperately. He had to figure this out.
"What news did he see?"
Erin picked up the newspaper that fell on the ground. The news on the front page of the newspaper was not from Britain, but from the New World: The Ming Empire passed a bill-unlimited acquisition of silver!
“Unlimited silver acquisition?”
Erin didn't know what this news meant, but on this day in London and the United States, countless bankers and wealthy people lost a lot of wealth because of this news.
Of course, the same is true for many powerful people.
"This is not true!"
In a club near Downing Street, facing Mr. Rogers, the Prime Minister's secretary, Edward said nervously.
"They don't have that much gold, and they can't possibly spend all their gold to buy silver."
"Impossible? Why is it impossible? Have you read the content of the bill? Mr. Sassoon, they only need to maintain the price of silver at 18.5. As long as the price of silver is lower than this price, the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Empire will intervene in the market.
, increase the price of silver by purchasing silver..."
Now Rogers no longer calls him Edward as he used to, and his words are full of dissatisfaction.
"Then we can still proceed as planned. We can export India's silver to Daming and arbitrage their gold. Mr. Rogers, we still have a chance..."
"Damn it, there's no chance! Have you forgotten the "Silver Standard Act" they passed last month? They banned the export and circulation of gold. Even if we transport the silver there, what we get back is paper money. We can only
The banknotes circulating in the Ming Empire, you damn guy, do you know how many people you killed?"
Rogers said angrily that because of Sassoon's plan, many people, including him, had invested in silver futures, and they were all trying to get huge returns from it.
But...what now?
All plans turned into a joke.
It was only then that Edward realized what the Ming Empire's "Silver Standard Act" meant two months ago. Originally, he thought the bill would not have any impact. In his opinion, it was just the Ming Empire's face of the silver price.
An instinctive reaction to the decline - trying to stabilize the value of silver and avoid further depreciation of silver by abolishing the dual gold system and implementing a silver standard.
But who would have thought that the Ming Empire would actually come up with the trump card of unlimited acquisition of silver?
How could they do this?
Who gave them the right to do this? Shouldn't they just let silver fall?
But they just did it.
"This, this... Mr. Rogers, we still have a chance, as long as we..."
Before Sassoon could finish speaking, Rogers stood up, put on his hat and said.
"No, you have no chance, Mr. Sassoon!"
After saying this, Rogers turned his head and glanced at this guy, his eyes full of hatred - this guy cost him tens of thousands of pounds.
God can testify that he wanted to strangle this guy to death. But it was not his turn to do it. There were many people who hated him even more.
