Chapter 71 The Rubber Crisis End

By the end of May, the price of rubber was also rising steadily, reaching 11 shillings per pound. Now all rubber speculators believe that the price of rubber will reach a historically high price of one pound for one pound of rubber. The price of Willis stock has also reached 1,500

The price is high, but there are no cash transactions in Shanghai anymore. Anyone with foresight knows that this is a prelude to the bubble bursting.

In the Willis Building, the three Sterrys were also preparing to evacuate.

"The superiors asked us to wait for a while, and they plan to let us leave in June." Stocker said the instructions from the country.

"Now that we have done everything we should do and the money has been transferred, why aren't we allowed to evacuate?" Felix expressed his dissatisfaction. Now if anyone knew about the current situation of Willis Company, everyone would tear it up.

They, of course he felt scared when faced with such a situation.

"The message sent said that we need to cooperate with an action at home and in the United States." Stocker explained.

"We will be in danger if we stay one more day now. Faced with this situation, Stocker, can't you tell your superiors?"

"Okay Felix, we are safe now. The dividend has only been paid out not long ago. There will be no problem if we insist on it for two months." Facing Felix's complaint, Stree said soothingly.

"Okay, I'm just impatient." Seeing that both of them were willing to cooperate, Felix could only agree.

After the three people discussed it, they continued to do the daily work of the company until Stork received a telegram that read: Your nephew was born weighing 6.12 pounds, and we plan to celebrate him tomorrow.

Stork took the telegram in his hand and hurried to Sterry's office, intending to tell him the good news.

"Stree, I've received the news." Stoker opened the door and saw Zhang Agou in Stree's office.

"Just go and take care of this matter Zhang." Seeing Stoker's somewhat deliberate expression, Sterry quickly sent Zhang Agou away.

"Okay boss." Zhang Agou still looked so dog-legged and greeted Stoker when he passed by him. "Goodbye Mr. Stoker."

"Goodbye Zhang."

After answering Zhang Agou, Stocker closed the door and walked to Sterry and whispered to him. "There is news from above. On June 12, they issued a message and asked us to leave the next day."

"There are still 10 days left, enough for us to prepare." Sterry said.

"Is this really possible?" Storkl asked.

"Otherwise, why would we raise an illiterate poor man to his current height? He has enjoyed status, money, fame and women that he could not have before. Now it is time for him to return everything."

It was obvious that they were talking about Zhang Agou who had just walked out. A good and loyal dogleg was sold by his owner.

In the following days, the three of them each found reasons to leave and let Zhang Agou keep an eye on the company's situation. This made Zhang Agou overjoyed, thinking that he was very close to Taipan.

On June 12, in Sterry's office, three people were discussing their final departure route.

"We each went out and met at the Old Sailor's Bar by the pier. The 7pm liner will leave for the United States first and then divert back to Romania." Stork said of the route arrangement.

"Where are the others?" Felix asked Stokel.

"I don't know either. Don't ask around about Felix." Stork warned him.

After hearing Stork's words, Felix shook his head and waved his hands to indicate that he would not ask.

"Get ready to go, I'll leave last." Sterry said.

Soon Felix and Stork found reasons to leave first, and Sterry called Zhang Agou into the office.

"Zhang, you have done a great job recently, I am very pleased."

"This is all the result of your cultivation, boss." Zhang Agou said with a flattering smile after hearing Stree's praise.

"I now have the idea of ​​promoting you to manager, but it depends on your recent performance."

Zhang Agou felt like he was dreaming. The big class that many people were pursuing was waving to him. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly said, "Thank you boss for the promotion. I will definitely work hard to perform."

Looking at Zhang Agou who was still daydreaming in front of him, Steri suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.

"Zhang, there's no need to express your attitude. I've made an appointment with a beautiful lady for dinner. Now the company is in your hands. I'll talk about anything important when I go to work tomorrow." After saying this, Sterry straightened his clothes and seemed really serious.

It's like going on a date.

"A good boss, I will take good care of these employees and will not let them be lazy."

Then Sterry got into his car and drove all the way to the Old Sailor's Bar, where he met the two people who had put on makeup in a secret room.

"Hurry up and finish your makeup. We are getting ready to take the boat." After a while, three working-class people walked out of the bar. Listening to their tone, they planned to leave Shanghai to find opportunities in the United States. These three people boarded the Angel Liner. 7

The liner started on time and left with three successful speculators.

The next morning, news spread throughout Shanghai that American and European car manufacturers planned to abandon rubber tires because the current price of rubber made them unaffordable. By the afternoon, an even more sensational news came out: Shanghai's largest rubber tire manufacturer

Enterprise, Willis Company owner is missing and manager is missing.

This news shocked everyone. Whether it was a rental company or a Chinese bank, they were looking for the three of Sterry. Finally, Sterry's car was found at a nearby dock, which ignited everyone's anger. Holding Willy in his hand

The crowd of people rushed into the building and smashed everything in sight.

Zhang Agou, who had always been shown to be Stree's confidant, was taken to the patrol room and asked about the whereabouts of the three Strees. Later, news came out that Zhang Agou committed suicide in the cell out of fear of crime.

The news that Sterry fled with money made all rubber stocks plummet. The stock market was full of people selling rubber stocks. Unfortunately, no one came to take over the rubber stocks. The stock price immediately fell by less than half in one day.

Willis stock has become a piece of waste paper. Now many people who have invested their money and life in it are completely unable to accept the news. Some people have gone crazy and committed suicide. A large number of banks have gone bankrupt. Shanghai has entered the Great Depression.

Romania, which had achieved great success, was also counting the gains this time. A staff member who had counted the results of the battle was reporting the results to the person in charge of this operation, Carlust.

"After our calculations, we invested 2.07 million pounds this time, and the actual investment was 1.8 million pounds. The initial cost was 380,000 pounds, and the mid-term publicity and other costs were 100,000 pounds. In the end, we received a total of 4.06 million pounds of funds, after deducting costs.

We later made a profit of 2.26 million pounds, which can be said to be a great success."

"After you give me this report, the rest can be destroyed," Kallust told the staff member.

"OK"

Calust took the report in his hand and planned to report the results to Crown Prince Edel.
