Mei Lanfang's performance at Bainaohui has already begun. In fact, before he arrived in New York, there were countless sponsors waiting for his arrival.
Because of her support for Mei Lanfang's performance in New York, the wife of former U.S. President Wilson launched a call to establish the "Mei Lanfang New York Sponsorship". The list of sponsors includes: playwright Ruth Draper, educationist John Dewey
, Otto Kane, Chairman of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, Leighton Stuart, President of Yenching University, and others.
This has almost become a routine. Every time Mei Lanfang visits a city in the future, Americans will set up a sponsorship association for him in that city. For example, the Los Angeles sponsorship association includes Chaplin, Fairbanks and others.
Mei Lanfang performed at Bainao Hui for two consecutive weeks. After each performance, there were often more than a dozen curtain calls because the audience was so enthusiastic.
After one performance, the audience asked to go on stage to shake hands, and Mei Lanfang agreed. However, dozens of minutes later, there were still many people waiting in the back. The theater company took a closer look and found that many audience members had shaken hands and started shaking hands again.
Waiting in line to continue shaking hands.
"The New York Times" commented: "East is East and West is West. These twins have never met, but now they have met after all. This situation is reflected in Mei Lanfang... For me, Mei Lanfang
Lanfang is first of all a dancer. When I watched him perform the sword dance in "Red Line Stealing Box", I always thought that his dance had reached the highest level... Mei Lanfang appeared on the stage for three minutes, you
You will admit that he is one of the most outstanding actors you have ever seen. Such art has never been seen in New York before. In the United States, there must be a winner every few years, including in politics, business and industry,
Including academia, this is the most eye-catching person. The person who wins the championship this time must be Mei Lanfang."
Mei Lanfang has become a whirlwind in New York. The audience who watched the performance was mesmerized, newspapers reviewed and praised, and New Yorkers held receptions and press conferences specifically for him.
When Americans today mention Asia or China, they must think of Mei Lanfang and his Peking Opera.
As for Zhou Hexuan, a great scholar, he would have to be at the back until the stock market crash came...
Saturday, October 19th.
Livermore put down the Wall Street Journal and said with a smile: "It's time for us to take action."
Zhou Hexuan was quite surprised and asked: "How do you know it's Monday next week?"
Livermore knocked on the newspaper: "Because of Friday's accelerated volume decline, and this news report."
Zhou Hexuan picked up the Wall Street Journal. The article was written by economist Fisher, and sternly rebuked Babson for his bearish remarks on the stock market. Fisher said: "It is inevitable that some stocks will rise, and some stocks will not.
fell. But the long-term momentum of the market is good. Even measured by the current price, the stock market is far from reaching its intrinsic value. Friday's heavy-volume decline just threw out some neurotic non-mainstream forces. I predict that next Monday
The market will rebound."
No matter which era, there is always a wave of economic experts who say this: The stock market is developing very well, and a small fluctuation is nothing to worry about, and it will rebound soon.
As for Babson, whom the expert refuted, he is also a powerful figure. He was the first to put forward a point: the stock market is a barometer of the economy.
Later people named this theory "Babson Barometer".
Zhou Hexuan asked: "How are you going to operate?"
Livermore showed a crazy expression: "Let's try 5 times the leverage first!"
Zhou Hexuan sweated furiously. Even if he was not proficient in stock trading, he knew that playing with 5x leverage was crazy. If the market fluctuated slightly, Dafa would lose money. Livermore actually used 5x leverage to test the waters.
Livermore is very confident. He has been analyzing the stock market for a month and firmly believes that the U.S. stock market has reached the peak. Nowadays, many people with brains are preparing to run away, plus economists Fisher and Babson
Writing articles and writing will only intensify investors' panic.
Unsurprisingly, after the market opened next Monday, countless people sold their stocks, which in turn triggered panic selling by more people.
The operations in the next half month allowed Zhou Hexuan to understand what it means to be an awesome trader.
On Monday, 6 million stocks changed hands in the U.S. stock market, but the number of stocks that fell far outnumbered those that rose. The stock index fell slightly, and Zhou Hexuan and others made a small profit.
On Tuesday, Livermore did not take any action and asked Zhou Hexuan to go bowling happily. According to Livermore's guess, the big conglomerates would definitely take action to boost the stock price. And as he expected, the stock market rebounded briefly that day.
Although the stock market fell again on Wednesday, Livermore did not take action. He continued to observe the market.
On Thursday, Livermore suddenly went crazy, with 20 times leverage and a full position!
This day is known as "Black Thursday". The market value evaporated by 9.5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than two years of US tax revenue. Zhou Hexuan made a huge profit of 1.1 million US dollars.
On Friday, Livermore once again had a truce. On this day, Exchange President Whitney publicly placed an order to buy blue chips, giving investors a little confidence, and the stock market rebounded again.
On Saturday, the stock market fell again, but there was no panic. Livermore still chose to sit on the sidelines.
The market is closed on Sunday.
On Monday, market rumors spread and the stock market continued to fall, but Livermore still did not take action.
On Tuesday, Livermore went crazy again, using 30 times leverage and continuing to fill his position.
On this day, sell orders flooded out, the trading volume reached 16 million shares, and the stock index plummeted. It was known as "Black Tuesday" in history. Zhou Hexuan made a full US$7.8 million on this day.
Then, there is no more...
The U.S. government intervened and asked Livermore to stop short selling.
At the same time, Rockefeller and other large financial groups began to rescue the market, and the stock market rebounded.
The situation after that was too complicated. Even Livermore did not dare to go short with dozens of times the leverage. Since the U.S. government did not allow short selling, Livermore followed suit. Anyway, he had already made hundreds of millions of dollars.
.
Zhou Hexuan watched with horror. If it had not been for Livermore to be the manipulator, if it had been him, even if he had known that the U.S. stock market was going to collapse, he might have lost all his money.
The above process sounds simple, but it is full of undercurrents and various micro-operations that ordinary people cannot handle at all.
Zhou Hexuan can only admit: The 10% profit share for traders is a good deal and absolutely worth every penny.
After deducting taxes and Livermore's transaction share, Zhou Hexuan's US$400,000 has become US$7.2 million.
The U.S. stock market will plummet for another half month. If you continue to short-sell, you will definitely make money. Unfortunately, Livermore was warned by the government. Zhou Hexuan did not dare to play by himself, because the big conglomerates have already intervened, and it is difficult for small retail investors to fish in troubled waters.
Zhou Hexuan even wondered whether the U.S. government would humanely destroy this guy if he continued to short-sell, having made a huge profit of 100 million U.S. dollars.
As for Zhang Mouzhi, this old gentleman is completely confused...
