Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 133: Help
Subtitle of this chapter: "Nine articles commenting on the Democratic Party"
What qualities are most important for a great financier?
Well, to put it bluntly, it’s gambling nature.
Let’s put it this way, many people can predict the market accurately, but few have the courage to invest their entire fortune in a gamble.
Do you remember how George Baker got his start? When the Civil War just started and the Union Army was not doing well, he used all the liquidity of the First National Bank to buy a large number of federal war bonds. This is how he stood out on Wall Street and became the closest partner of old JP Morgan in his later years.
Isn’t our Master Yuan’s behavior this time just replicating his heroic deeds back then... The advantage of a time traveler is so great that without the Master Ball, this broken HOLD system really won’t work.
Besides being a strong gambler, Yuan Yanshu was also a very noble person. He donated 500,000 US dollars without taking a penny. To be honest, even George Baker, an 80-year-old capitalist, was somewhat moved.
Old Mr. Baker looked at his grandson and sighed in his heart. Compared with the young Chinese man, little Louis seemed a little immature.
Alas, this is also because his father died early and he has neglected to teach him over the years.
Now that I am about to retire, little Louis is different from the other grandchildren. Without a father, can he really take care of the things I am going to entrust to him?
He would have to fall hard a few times before he could learn his lesson. But that Chinese guy is different. If he were given a chance, he might be able to reach the same height as me... Unfortunately, he is a Chinese.
But this is just right. If the Chinese can't stand in front of the stage, can't they hide behind the scenes?
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of his grandson's future, selling Neo Yuan now as a big favor is definitely a very cost-effective speculation.
In that case, I'll help that very nice and interesting little guy.
But, it's just a handful...
So Mr. George Baker asked his grandson to find Mr. Herbert Pulitzer.
After reading the letter, the editor-in-chief of Le Monde was also somewhat shocked. He said in disbelief: "Louis, is this what your grandfather meant?"
Mr. Baker nodded calmly.
Mr. Pulitzer hesitated for a moment and said, "Louis, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is such a big thing..."
"I understand." Holmes's "Watson" stood up, walked to the phone and said, "Mr. Pulitzer, do you mind if I call you?"
"Of course I don't mind. Please."
"Hello, connect me to the president's office of the First National Bank."
"I'm Louis, Grandfather, and I'm at Le Monde. Yes, that's good..."
Mr. Baker handed over the microphone in his hand and said politely, "Mr. Pulitzer, my grandfather wants to talk to you."
The editor-in-chief of Le Monde naturally stood up and took the phone. He took a deep breath and said respectfully, "I am Herbert Pritts, hello Mr. Beck..."
"Yeah, yeah, this kind of thing really can't be tolerated."
"Yes, yes, yes, the Democrats are really making a scene that is outrageous."
"Yes, yes, we at Le Monde agree with you."
"Okay, okay, we will definitely take Louis's opinion seriously."
"Goodbye, Mr. Baker."
The editor-in-chief put down the receiver, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak.
“Bang!”
Just then, his daughter came in rudely without even knocking.
"Dad...Um, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, the NYPD and the District Attorney are going to hold a press conference at 5pm."
Mr. Pulitzer and Mr. Baker looked at their watches at the same time. It was almost three o'clock.
The editor-in-chief of Le Monde acted decisively and immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hey, hurry up and get me a car... Yes, I want to go to the police station myself."
His daughter asked anxiously, "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, are we leaving now?"
Mr. Pulitzer shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I need to polish the article written by that Chinese...um, Mr. Yuan..."
"One day has passed since the 1920 U.S. presidential election, and the American people have made a wise choice. Such a disparity in the results also shows that the Democratic Party's tragic defeat and their previous series of political actions have pushed their relationship with the American people to the brink of rupture and pushed the internal divisions of the American people to an unprecedentedly serious stage."
"Right now, Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles are all in a turmoil. The Democratic Party is still publishing all kinds of weird ideas. Their top leaders have openly betrayed the traditional values of the United States, openly torn up the Declaration of Independence of 1776, and openly violated the U.S. Constitution. They have united against the moral degenerates who oppose prohibition, united against the leftists who oppose capitalist free economy, opposed the United States of America, and opposed all the founding principles established by the founding fathers."
"The current disagreement between the Democratic Party and the American people involves a series of major issues..."
Editor's note: This article, "The Origin and Development of the Differences between the Democratic Party's Top Leaders and the American People," is the first in a series of political commentary articles by Yuan Yanshu published in Le Monde starting on November 3, 1920.
This series of articles is collectively called "Nine Articles Commenting on the Democratic Party", which had a huge impact in the United States and the world at that time, and thus established his lofty status as a master of modern liberalism.
In addition to this article, there are two reviews: "Several Questions About William II"
Three reviews: Is Britain a liberal country?
Fourth review: "The Apologist for Colonialism"
Five Comments: Two Lines on the Road of War and Peace
Sixth Comment: Two Fundamentally Contradictory Foreign Policies
Seven Comments: The Democratic Party is the biggest warmongerer of our time
Eighth Comment: "The Mission of the Bourgeoisie and Wilson's False Pacifism"
Part 9: On Wilson’s False Pacifism and Its Lessons for World History
In addition, the tenth commentary had actually been finalized, but Mr. Yuan Yanshu learned that President Wilson's condition worsened and even reached the point of life-threatening after reading these articles, so he upheld the humanitarian spirit and gave up publishing the last political commentary article.
Many years later, when he talked about these political articles, he humbly said that he "spoke a lot of empty words at the time, and there was nothing... well, that was useless.. "
