Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 125: Good Guy Card
Chapter subtitle: Be a victor even if you are a criminal
"Ms. Pulitzer, according to your interview, this Chinese man is not an anarchist radical, but a talented young gentleman..."
The editor-in-chief of Le Monde couldn't help but ask with some doubt: "Is this information reliable?"
"It's reliable, of course it's reliable." Miss Pulitzer said loudly, "This is what Mr. George Baker's grandson and his father... Mr. Brown's daughter, whom you also know, said. Do you still doubt what they said?"
"Watson" and "The Little Fairy in the Forest" now only admire Master Yuan, and can even be said to worship him. Can they still speak ill of their friend and "idol"? Moreover, they sincerely believe that what they say is the truth.
Needless to say, their Chinese friend's "extraordinary talent" in literature can easily write wonderful detective novels and touching romance novels; and Yuan Yanshu's "incisive insights" in economics not only impressed the professors and students in NYU, but also won the praise of the "Wall Street Miracle".
Neo Yuan's high morals and broad mind, especially his indifference to money, are admirable. In order to maintain his dignity as an author, he refused the $5,000 that was offered to him.
Now, even the huge sum of 500,000 US dollars was donated to NYU without hesitation, and Miss Pulitzer saw it with her own eyes.
Who doesn’t like to have a friend who doesn’t like small amounts of money?
Apart from his lust...hey, as for his lust, not only Mr. Louis Baker, who was a bit like him, but even the young lady Helen Brown thought it was no big deal.
Niao is a great writer who can write such delicate and touching female-themed novels as "Chocolat". This kind of person should be born to be a passionate seed!
Although foreigners do not know the saying "Only great heroes can be true to themselves, and only true celebrities can be romantic", due to common human nature, both Eastern and Western societies are very tolerant of the fact that "talented men are lustful". Whether it is Luoshen or Muse, aren't they beautiful women?
So the two of them gave our Master Yuan two big good guy cards!
The editor-in-chief of Le Monde became serious when he heard this. This Chinese man actually had Mr. Baker and Ms. Brown's endorsement, which made people pay attention to him. Mr. George Baker, as a person in the publishing industry, naturally knew the president of New York University Press.
Mr. Pulitzer knew that the two young men were not playboys, and their words were trustworthy. So he asked in a more serious manner: "So, Miss Pulitzer, do you have any other information?"
"Yes, there is." Emma flipped through her notebook and said, "I interviewed professors and students at NYU. Their opinions on Mr. Yuan varied..."
This is natural, half of the gambling debt is also money. It is basically nonsense to say that someone does not feel sorry for thousands of dollars. The words of such an ungrateful guy who holds a grudge are not so nice to hear.
She went on seriously: "But overall, apart from some people saying that his private life is not decent, most people still think that Mr. Yuan is a very gentleman. Especially people in the Stern School said that they can't see that Neo Yuan is a left-wing radical. On the contrary, he is an economics researcher who advocates liberalism very much."
"Oh, that's incendiary. A liberal economist was arrested as a suspect in the Wall Street bombing... That's incendiary."
Mr. Pulitzer pondered for a moment, then asked, "So what do the police have to say?"
As a major newspaper, Le Monde naturally had reporters who specialized in dealing with the police. However, because of Miss Pulitzer's identity, this guy obediently contributed the inside information he had obtained.
She hesitated and said, "The police's information is a bit strange..."
"What's strange about that?"
"Someone inside the NYPD revealed that the case is no longer under the control of them and the New York State District Attorney, but is directed by the BOI and federal prosecutors."
"I see."
Hearing this, Mr. Herbert, who was quite familiar with the American judicial system, nodded. As a veteran in the journalism industry, he had a rough idea of the incident in his mind and even guessed what his daughter was thinking.
He naturally took out his pipe and put some tobacco in it.
Emma said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, can you smoke less?"
"Ha!" His father made an exaggerated surprised expression and said, "Ms. Pulitzer, as an intern reporter, what qualifications do you have to stop your editor-in-chief from smoking?"
“This… humph!”
Mr. Pulitzer looked at his stubborn little daughter, took a puff of his cigarette and said happily, "Tell me what you think."
Emma's eyes lit up, and her cold face suddenly became lively. She said excitedly: "My idea is that this is definitely more explosive news than the 'Sacco Vanzetti case'. All newspapers in New York... no, the whole country will rush to report it, so we have to seize the opportunity!"
"The Sacco Vanzetti case..." The editor-in-chief of Le Monde took a puff of his cigarette and said to himself: "Seize the initiative..."
The Sacco Vanzetti case, the Ponzi scheme in Boston, and of course the Wall Street BOOOOM, were the three cases that attracted the most attention of Americans in the 1920s.
On April 17, 1920, a cashier and security guard at a shoe factory were carrying $1,577 through South Bryant, Massachusetts, when they were shot and killed by two robbers. After taking the cash, the two men jumped into a car with several other people and fled.
Because witnesses claimed the killer looked Italian, police combined this case with another robbery on Christmas Eve 1919, which was also committed by a group of armed Italians in a car.
A local detective named Michelle E. Stewart focused his suspicion on a radical named Mike Boda, and eventually arrested two of Mr. Boda's anarchist comrades, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
The police found several unlicensed guns on both of them, including a machine gun that matched the characteristics of the guns used by the robbers in the two cases. In addition, they found a meeting plan written in Italian on Sacco, where Vanzetti was to give a speech titled "Struggle for Survival".
Therefore, Sacco and Vanzetti are considered the main suspects in the two robberies.
Their comrades, or more precisely, anarchists all over the world, all believed that this was a frame-up and a conspiracy by the US government to eliminate anarchists. So starting in the second half of 1920, the radical anarchist movement against the United States spread all over the world. There were not only many demonstrations in the United States and Europe, but also someone bombed the US embassy in Europe.
This is also the main reason why the BOOOOM that occurred on Wall Street on September 16, 1920 was considered to be the act of radicals.
In the original timeline, the trial of the two would not begin until May 1921, and the trial would last for a full six years. In 1927, the two were convicted and executed, and in 1977, the then Governor of Massachusetts issued a statement to "vindicate" the two.”.
