1928: The rise of giant merchants

Chapter 446 Vivien Leigh First Blood (Happy New Year’s Eve~)

"Gentlemen, he is Mr. Ye who predicted the rise of the U.S. stock market and also pointed out that the U.S. stock market will collapse in the near future."

Rockefeller introduced Ye Luo enthusiastically.

The bosses of several large companies smiled and shook hands with him.

At American upper-class parties in 1929, there were basically no Chinese faces. If there were any, they were usually from powerful people like Song Ziwen who were famous in China.

But even Song Ziwen found it difficult to win the respect and favor of these people.

There is no other reason.

When the country is strong, the people are strong; when the country is weak, the people are weak.

It can be said that Ye Luo was the first Chinese to break this stereotype.

This shows his influence in the upper class circles of the United States.

Of course, if this group of people knew that he was the founder of the largest short-selling group, they would probably want to kill Ye Luo.

Several people exchanged glasses and soon started talking about business.

U.S. pharmaceutical companies, like U.S. Steel Corporation, have been severely hit by the stock market and are now on the verge of bankruptcy. They can't wait for a company to acquire them immediately.

Therefore, almost all the bosses of American Pharmaceuticals gathered around Ye Luo, always hinting at him intentionally or unintentionally.

But Ye Luo did not recognize the purchase price of US$10 million he proposed.

Seeing that the dance was about to end, and seeing that Ye Luo was still indifferent, the boss of the American pharmaceutical company suddenly panicked, gritted his teeth, and made a huge price.

"Mr. Ye, 8 million U.S. dollars cannot be less. Our U.S. pharmaceutical stock price has reached a peak of 200 U.S. dollars, and even now it is still more than 60 U.S. dollars. If you take these 30% of the shares, you can buy some more from the market, reaching Absolute holding is not a problem.”

He looked at Ye Luo and said anxiously.

Ye Luo shook his head: "It seems that our cooperation can only be put on hold for the time being."

Without giving the other party a chance to continue to argue, Ye Luo hugged Mary and strode towards the room on the second floor.

These American ghosts still can't let go of their figures, trying to make a fortune on themselves.

The bosses were not happy with the purchase price of US$5 million for each company proposed by Ye Luo, and politely refused.

Rockefeller, as the middle lobbyist, was also very embarrassed.

He originally thought that Ye Luo's visit was a win-win cooperation that would benefit everyone, but he didn't expect that Ye Luo was not here to save the situation, but to take advantage of the situation.

National companies such as American Pharmaceuticals, Boeing, and American Radio once had market values ​​close to 50 million U.S. dollars, but now you are actually prepared to buy them for one-tenth of the price!

Isn't this just adding insult to injury?

Ye Luo doesn't like them either. He likes to sell or not.

Anyway, these companies are high-priced stocks that he has shorted, and the stock prices have not completely fallen yet, so they still have a glimmer of hope.

Next Monday, he will extinguish this glimmer of hope.

At that time, he would not pay even $5 million.

Acquiring these companies must be a good thing for long-term development. Being able to control such national-level enterprises will allow Ye Luo to create a new chaebol in the United States in the next few decades.

But it doesn't help now.

The U.S. stock market has plummeted and the economy is in recession. Large companies are a burden. They must either be incorporated into state-owned enterprises with government funding, or they will continue to rot.

Anyone who holds it must be prepared to lose one or two million dollars a year.

What he was interested in was the equipment and technology of these companies, which were also the most convenient things to bring to the Republic of China.

As for the company itself, just get it if you can, it doesn’t matter.

It's a pity that these people's vision is too low, and Ye Luo overestimates them.

The negotiation broke down, and Ye Luo simply went to the presidential guest room on the second floor.

Mary skillfully took off her dress and ran naked to the bathroom to wash up. After being made into a puff last time, she loved and hated Ye Luo. Compared with her husband who was not very good at it, there was a huge difference.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, she let out a scream.

Ye Luo was startled, took out his gun and ran over, only to find that there were only two beauties in the bathroom who were wet and slippery with the shower head.

One big and one small, each is vigilant.

"Who are you?" Mary pulled the towel to block the spring light and stared at the pretty girl in shock.

The girl has a loli face and a good figure, but she looks very young at first glance.

Later, Ye Luo saw her starring in the famous film "Gone with the Wind" and recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Previously, he deliberately spilled wine on Ye Luo in order to gain his attention from Maureen O'Sullivan's best friend, Vivien Leigh.

An angelic girl from Ireland, England.

The original work of "Gone with the Wind" is "Gone with the Wind", which was created by Margaret Mitchell in 1936. It became a hit once it was published. The remake of the movie "Gone with the Wind" is even more of a classic among classics.

"My name is Vivien Leigh." The girl panicked, avoiding Mary's aggressive gaze like a kitten, and did not dare to look directly into Ye Luo's eyes.

Franklin is really a man of great powers.

Ye Luo sighed. If I remember correctly, Vivien Leigh is only seventeen years old now.

"Get out!" Mary didn't want to give this little vixen a good look.

Vivien Leigh's face suddenly turned pale, and she had no choice but to cover her body and walk out in despair.

Ye Luo reached out and held her.

"Now that you're here, let's take a rest first. If you go out wet like this, you'll catch a cold easily."

Mary looked at Ye Luo, and her jealousy suddenly boiled over, but she couldn't get angry easily, so she could only nod her head in dismay: "Ye"

"Mary, get me some bath water and let's take a rest together." Ye Luo looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't you want to ask me about RKO? This Miss Vivien Leigh is also one of ours The company’s contracted actress.”

"She too?" Mary looked at the little girl in disbelief, suddenly feeling that Ye Luo had changed her taste.

Then next time I have to dress more cutely and playfully.

Vivien Leigh's head was dizzy. She had no idea what to do since she was forced here by her parents.

She was very envious after seeing her friend Maureen's movie in the UK. She told her parents about her dream of becoming an actress, and they helped her find Hollywood.

I don’t know how many twists and turns it took before I helped her catch up with the big boss of RKO.

I thought he was an old man with a big belly.

I didn't expect it to be a handsome guy with a Chinese face.

"You come too." Ye Luo pushed Vivien Leigh who was standing stupidly.

This is also a top money tree.

In Hollywood, she is like Ah Ruan and Hu Die in the Republic of China, and her net worth will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.

Two beauties, one big and one small, got into the bathroom.

Ye Luo took this opportunity to turn on the radio and listen to the latest news.

News about the U.S. stock market occupied most of the channels. The failure of Hoover, Richard and others to bail out the market caused a new round of panic. During the weekend market closing period, the phone lines of the Harvard Economic Association were inundated with calls.

Countless people consult experts on how to operate stocks.

The experts themselves can't explain why.

Their money is also tied up in the stock market!

All the spearheads ultimately point to one place——

Opening next Monday.

Will determine the life and death of countless people.
