Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 50 Don't Talk About Money
Chapter Subtitle: Three Hundred and Fifty Million Gold Dollars
If what our Master Yuan said could become a reality, what would that mean?
Nonsense, this means a massive amount of hot money!
So what is Wall Street missing now?
Nonsense, of course they are short of money... Of course, a more precise statement is that Wall Street is always short of money.
This is really not a joke.
In 1919, the New York Stock Exchange had 6 days with a trading volume of more than 2 million shares, and 145 days with a trading volume of more than 1 million shares. Let alone a hundred years later, the New York Stock Exchange had a maximum trading volume of 16 million shares a day, and less than 3 million shares was a "boring day" that only professionals cared about. With such a pitiful number, last year was actually an "unprecedented bull market"! A newspaper commented that the highly specialized machine that manipulated the buying and selling of stocks and bonds in the New York market was exhausted and needed a good rest.
One of the reasons for the dramatic changes in the past ten years is that, as Master Yuan said, the American people's wages have really increased. They have not yet become credit card slaves, so they have invested their savings in the stock market.
Today, a seat on the New York Stock Exchange costs no more than $60,000 and no more than $110,000. In other words, if Yuan Yanshu hoarded a few seats like he hoarded license plates in later generations, he would make double the money in a few years.
To be honest, it is too easy for time travelers to make money. If it weren't for this broken system, Master Yuan, who graduated from an economics major, could really build a "financial empire" with the scattered memories in his mind .
Of course, this "American Speculator" is definitely not as awesome as Zhuang Silk Stockings, who made 4 billion U.S. dollars in 5 years by selling silk stockings. But I'm not bragging. If Yuan Yanshu works hard from now on, he will definitely be able to make 400 million U.S. dollars safely and securely within 10 years... Well, let's just say 350 million U.S. dollars..
What can you do with 350 million gold dollars in 1930? Well, stop talking. Look at your lack of ability. Why support G? If it were our Master Yuan, he would just buy K-Commerce and become the president himself. It doesn't matter if it fails. There will be someone to take over anyway...
Well, if our Master Yuan suddenly softens his heart and can’t bear to see Chinese fighting against Chinese and the brutal Anti-Japanese War, then he will choose to... support the Communist Party.
404, God, please don't misunderstand. We are not supporting TG but the Japanese Communist Party. Chinese people don't fight Chinese people, so what does it matter if Japanese kill Japanese people?
If 350 million gold dollars is not enough to turn the Imperial Way Faction, which is mainly composed of middle and lower-level military personnel, into the "Equator Faction", expand the size of the 226th tenfold or even a hundredfold, make the streets of Tokyo resound with "The Internationale" and "Senbonzakura", and make Tiannao Heika voluntarily choose to be Comrade Long Live the Lord... then Yuan Yanshu can change his name to Sarutobi Amonia in the future.
Of course, you can also help FDR implement Roosevelt's New Deal, unify American communist organizations, form the Federal Security Council, establish the American Soviet Federation, communistize the entire Americas and even the whole world, become a great ball master and reach the peak of your life... Although it is not a sure thing, and it is very likely that you will be killed halfway, but you can't say that there is no hope at all.
“Pika Pika…”
It’s such a pity to waste such imagination and outline.
In short, it is a very simple logic that a large amount of hot money in the market will automatically be invested in industries with the highest returns. And the only way in this world that is easier to make money than the financial industry is to directly start the printing press and print money.
Therefore , Master Yuan pointed out a clear way for the would-be vampires on Wall Street, which is to find a way to convert part of the wages of American workers into pension and social security funds, and then naturally invest them in Wall Street. This method can be mandatory official legal regulations, or it can be an employment agreement reached between enterprises or unions and workers.
The twenty or so students here are really knowledgeable, and they have to be, because they are all economics students with a master's degree or above.
This Chinaman, No! This Chinese is really bold. But what he said seems to make sense, No! It makes sense.
If we were to ask which two groups of people in this world are the least racist, they would definitely be capitalists and revolutionaries. To the former, whose money is not money? Who cares about your skin color when they want to make money from you? To the latter, whose life is not life? Who cares about your race when they want to revolutionize your life?
Therefore, no matter what they thought of people of color before, when they saw Yuan Yan's yellow face... To be honest, our Master Yuan is a genuine white face, with skin much whiter than some white people. Anyway, it was the first time they discovered that their yellow classmate was really so yellow, so yellow that it was almost as yellow as gold.
“Pah, pah, pah.”
Yuan Yan turned her head and saw that the first person to applaud was Vice Principal Conant. With his lead, the classroom was filled with continuous applause.
Our Master Yuan maintained a calm expression, stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. In fact, he didn't feel anything about it. For a time traveler like him who majored in economics, a private pension was nothing. The financial derivatives invented by Wall Street in the future were the real killers. Any one of them could at least make the scale of the "Great Depression" several times larger...
“Pika Pika…”
It’s such a pity that the creativity of those financial geniuses in later generations wasted.
After Yuan Yanshu sat down, the vice president next to him came over and asked, "Mr. Yuan, why don't you write a doctoral thesis on this topic?"
“Pika Pika…”
"Master Ball, stop making those Pika-Pika noises all the time. Aren't you annoying?"
Our Master Yuan said solemnly: "Mr. Vice President, I prefer to study propositions that are more grand, more metaphysical, and more closely related to the universal destiny of mankind."
He paused and continued: "The most alarming trend that has emerged in this era is the growing disregard for existing law and order. Regardless of whether these trends are influenced by those hateful low-class mobs. This group of people, stimulated by the stupid people scattered all over the world, seems to be driven by a rare malice..."
Hey, when did I memorize this passage??
Yuan Yanshu had come to this point, with a look of compassion on her face. She spoke in a very solemn voice, as if preaching, "They want to overthrow the established order of our civilized society by violence. Even though I am a Chinese, my conscience tells me that if this is not stopped, both old Europe and the New World, both Asia and black Africa, will witness unprecedented horror!"
For example, the Statue of Liberty is holding a copy of "The Communist Manifesto", and the girls from the Statue of Liberty's original place of origin are performing "The Red Detachment of Women"... "The People's Liberation Army Enters Paris" is truly a masterpiece, and I recommend that students who haven't seen it go and watch it.
Upon hearing this, Vice President Conant was immediately in awe. What a good comrade this Chinese man in front of him was... well, a gentleman. Who says that the yellow race is dirty, stupid, and despicable... uncivilized relatives of humans? As long as they receive the education of our advanced Western civilization, these uncivilized races can also produce outstanding people with moral wisdom similar to our advanced races.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Yuan, I heard that you want to skip a grade and apply for a doctorate?"
Yuan Yan nodded, stared sincerely into the eyes of the vice president, and answered : "The world is dangerous, the United States is dangerous, and my motherland is even more dangerous. When I think of the vast land where I was born and raised, it is still immersed in darkness and ignorance, and has not been able to hear the gospel of the civilized world, but is in great danger of being bewitched by evil doctrines. I am extremely anxious, I can't wait, I can't sleep or eat well..."
"By the way, Master Ball. I found that my appetite has increased recently, and my size has become particularly exaggerated. Is there something wrong with my body? Is it diabetes? Please scan me."
"Host, didn't you read the instructions? The energy of this system is also provided by you, so of course your appetite has increased."
I see……
Thinking that the Master Ball system would not reimburse the food expenses, the depressed Master Yuan became more and more excited, and his voice became louder and louder: "I just want to be Prometheus and immediately return to the East Asian continent to spread the fire of freedom that I stole from this new continent, so that my motherland can become like the United States of America..."
"Land of the free, home of the brave!"
