Chapter 39 Explosion

The two waited for a while, and the last shelf was almost full. There were also two brick movers using pulleys to put the gold bricks in place. Of course they used pulleys, and they had to be moved by others. Haha, it’s worth it.

900 million U.S. dollars of gold. An ounce of 30 U.S. dollars is equivalent to 30 million ounces. A gold brick weighs 12.5 kilograms, which is a gold brick. It’s not going to be exhausting.

"Okay, just watch here. It's my turn to go out and have a cigarette. After the last car is finished, you can lock the door and come out. I'll wait for you outside. Hehe, I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Yeah." George nodded. The man didn't pay attention and went out directly. After George waited for the last workers to leave, he quickly ran between the shelves. As he passed by, all the shelves disappeared.
p>

Then, it was collected quickly. George walked to the door and locked it from the outside. The fingerprints did not exist, and the fingerprints he left after his transformation were not his own. When he came to the last iron door, his

His colleague was leaning against the door waiting for him. When he came out, he took the initiative to lock the last door and said, "Okay, let's go, it's getting late. Let's have a drink after the handover is completed tomorrow."<

/p>

Seeing that George still didn't say anything, the man came again: "Aren't you still angry with the supervisor? That's useless, who will let others take care of us? Let's go." After saying that, he was about to walk to a car.

"I'll leave first. If I have something to do tonight, I won't see you off. See you tomorrow!"

Then he saw the man opening the car door and taking out a rocker, shaking it in circles, and then drove away. To be honest, when he said it just now, George was already ready to knock him out, although there were still people on the left and right of the door.

There are two security guards with guns on their waists, but it’s really easy to deal with them.

Okay, no need now. George passed through two security checks again and walked out of the underground parking lot smoothly. When he walked out of here, George felt amazing. He didn't expect to get the gold so easily. It was a bit strange.

Incredible.

George found that there were still people searching for something on this road. After George walked out of this street, he found a deserted corner, transformed and left.

After returning to the study and dispersing his clones, George breathed a sigh of relief. He focused on the space and looked at the gold filling the space. Haha, this is the first time in his life that he has seen so much!

The problem now is that it seems that this is not worth the money. This is gold worth 900 million. George is sure that even the Morgan consortium is not worth the money. George remembers a report in his previous life that after the economic crisis of the 1930s,

During the recession, the Morgan family's property dropped from more than 700 million to more than 400 million. Haha, that is the accumulation of three generations of the Morgan family!

Forget it, once you enter his space, it belongs to him. It’s quite fun to leave it alone and look at it. After the few tons of vibranium, there are hundreds more tons of gold in the space.

Let’s reconsider the whole thing. Someone knew about the Federal Reserve’s transfer of gold worth 900 million in advance, and then prepared to take advantage of the Wall Street explosion to get away with part of it. We still don’t know whether the person who caused the explosion is the same person who wanted to pull it away.

Are the gold traders working together?

Maybe he was lucky, and then he was intercepted by George, twice. George not only intercepted the interceptions of the three cars the first time, but also intercepted the interceptions of the Federal Reserve.

It seemed that something could be done here. Then late at night, George left the villa again and placed the three escort vehicles in the space at an unmanned intersection. Haha, as the saying goes, everything you pass by must leave traces. As a good person

George volunteered to provide clues to the police. As for what happened next, he could just watch the show.

The next day, almost all newspapers reported yesterday's bombing. But the detailed report did not appear in the newspapers until three days later.

According to reports, when hundreds of Wall Street employees were out having lunch that day, a carriage stopped in front of JPMorgan Chase Bank, the world's most powerful banking institution. The carriage carried 45 kilograms of explosives, a 230 kilogram cast iron hammer and a timer.

The explosive device, with a loud bang, instantly broke the horse and carriage into pieces, and cast iron fragments flew everywhere.

The powerful explosion turned the financial center of the United States into a mess, killing 38 people and injuring more than 300 people. The explosion could be heard throughout Lower Manhattan and across the East River in Brooklyn. The smoke-filled streets were filled with

Layers of broken glass, fallen walls and corpses.

What few memories there are of the driver and the carriage are vague and almost useless. The NYPD reconstructed the bomb and its fuse, but there is much debate about the nature of the explosive, and all of the potential ingredients are relatively common.

The police, Secret Service and FBI have been at a loss for days. Since no person or organization has claimed responsibility for the bombing, the New York Police Department has considered many motives for the bombing.

He even assassinated John Pierpont Morgan Jr., but was ultimately ruled out because he was not in the United States when the attack occurred. Some people also believe that the explosion may be related to robbery. On that day, gold bars worth $900 million were transported to the nearby Treasury Department headquarters.

Building. This one is relatively close, but it seems that the loss of 900 million gold bars has not been disclosed. But there is no direct evidence for either guess.

Yesterday, a pile of anarchist leaflets were found in a mailbox a block away from Wall Street. The leaflets were clearly printed: "We can't tolerate it anymore, release all political prisoners, otherwise death will be yours." The leaflets were signed:

"Anarchist".

The targets of police suspicion are political radicals and anarchists from abroad - especially Italians, Russians and Jews.

As of today, the matter has not been characterized. In the past three days, George has asked three times. Except for the first time when he went to the police station, the other two times were at his home.

The banquet was also postponed to the evening of the 20th. In the past two days, George continued to collect some General Motors shares online as planned. Due to the explosion, the price has dropped. However, with George's efforts, the price per share is still around US$17.

.

George purchased nearly 1% more GM stock. Now George owns a total of 1.8% of GM stock, which can be considered a minority shareholder. However, the proportion is relatively small, so it does not need to be announced, but this cannot be hidden.

Some people's eyes.

After receiving this, George did not continue. Although he wanted to join GM, there was no need to offend people to death.

On the evening of the 20th, George wore a pure black handmade suit to attend the cocktail party. This year's economy is not good, but for some real big chaebols like Morgan, it is not a big problem. But for the ordinary working class, it is a big problem.

Question.

Big chaebols can relieve market pressure by cutting leeks, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to get out of business and free up the market. Therefore, the number of bankruptcies in the United States this year increased by more than 1.5 times compared with 1919, and the number of bank failures also increased by 6

More than times. The number of unemployed people surged to 4.3 million, and the unemployment rate among workers rose from 7% in 1920 to 23%. The real wages of employed workers also dropped significantly.

Workers hope to get more effective protection. However, in the context of this economic depression, it is absolutely impossible for capitalists to give in, because they are also gritting their teeth and persisting.

In the United States after World War I, all the big chaebols were interested in some livelihood technologies, so after this short-term economic crisis, it was quickly stabilized.

Also because the war had just ended, although the large chaebols were involved in the military industry, they also abandoned many small and medium-sized enterprises. It was George who laid out the military industry after seeing this opportunity.

What George picked up was equivalent to what those big chaebols had discarded. It was just that George picked up gold from a pile of garbage because of his knowledge in his previous life.

If we push it back another ten years, to 1930, the economy began to experience obvious instability, and it was basically impossible to continue to want to do military industry. This is because the United States also believes in using the guns in their hands to protect their rights and interests.

George met Mr. Groman at this so-called gathering of New York's upper-class celebrities.

When Groman saw George again, he couldn't help but sigh. How long had passed and the young man's assets had doubled again. In terms of total assets, many big families may be richer than him, but in terms of liquidity,

He said that George’s current funds are definitely among the top.

"George, congratulations."

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Groman. The banquet tonight is very lively."

After introducing a group of celebrities to George, they left some free time for George to socialize with them. When these people knew that George was the latest best-selling novel author, they became even more enthusiastic.

This is the case in the United States. If George, as a best-selling novel writer, goes to a celebrity gathering with Grohman, then George's ranking and popularity must be greater than Grohman's.

After a while, Groman appeared again and said to George: "You should appear in places like this more often in the future. After all, you are still young and you will be very popular here. Haha..."

Well, George admitted that he misjudged this old man, and he still made such a joke with him at such an old age.

"Haha, yes, I will always integrate in the future, but I have just started school, and this time it has been delayed for a long time because of the explosion."

"Haha, young people, be patient, you still have a lot of time. Come on, I will introduce you to a guest."

Groman helped George introduce Durant from General Motors, whose arrival was something George did not expect. George originally thought he would be from the Morgan family. Even if a small person in charge came, George would understand. But it was Durant who came.

If so, don’t the DuPont and Durant families know that they are acquiring General Motors shares?

Isn't his action obvious enough? After completing the introduction task, Groman said goodbye and left. Only George and Durant were left.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Durant said first.

"Well, to be honest, a little bit. I thought it was the Morgan family who came. After all, they were the direct beneficiaries of the battery business before."

"Haha, they came back to find you, but I came first."

"You mean, you're not here for the technology in my hands?"

"Yes and no. Come on, let's talk somewhere else."

The two came to the balcony, took a sip of the cocktail in their hands and said: "The battery technology in your hand is now something they are determined to get, so they must find someone to test it out before making a real offer. Since

Someone visited you before, and you clearly expressed your willingness to cooperate. Then it is a matter of more money and less money. So, I will take on this errand and come over to talk to you first."

After a brief pause, he continued: "Originally, it was another person from the Morgan family who came, but after I learned from a friend that you were buying shares of General Motors, I wanted to meet you first."

"May I know why?"

"Haha, before answering your question, can you tell me why you acquired a large number of GM shares in the stock market?"

"Of course it's because I'm optimistic about GM's future."

"Well, thank you, thank you for your confidence in GM. In other words, you are prepared to hold it for a long time. But have you ever thought about what will happen if GM's stock continues to fall?"

"I have no choice about this, because you are the ones at the helm of GM, and it is up to you to decide where it will go. However, I already own 1.8% of the shares. If the value rises, I will make money, and if it falls, I will lose money.

Some. I can still afford to lose this little money. You know, I am a big gambler. Haha."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. So do you dare to bet bigger?"

"How to bet?"

"I will use all the stocks in my hand to give you a low price at half the price, and you will lend me a loan. Once the price is lower than 70% of the current price, all my stocks will belong to you. In other words, you will get 20% of the price difference for free. Of course, if

If the price rises, everyone will make money, and 50% of the profit will belong to you. It can be said that you are guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything."

"The conditions are very favorable. However, I do not accept any cash offers for battery patents. I only accept joint cooperation. Moreover, my cooperation conditions are for Morgan Bank and DuPont. I want both of their companies.
