Chapter 16 Robbing money in an open and honest way (1/2)

The new week has begun again, and the new book continues to be on the list, begging you for your recommendation votes. Even if you think there are few for the time being, please collect it first, fatten it and then kill it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last ten days of October 1929 were destined to be a day that made Americans cry and caused people from all over the world to break their minds.

On the 21st, the Dow Jones Index fell 19 points, and the New York Stock Exchange shorted 8 million shares on the same day.

In the following three days, the Dow Jones Index never rebounded, and the decline became faster and faster. People began to panic and began to sell their stocks.

By the 24th, the Dow Jones Index plummeted again, falling 31 points, scaring investors to frantically sell their stocks. On this day, the New York Stock Exchange sold 14 million shares, breaking the historical record since the establishment of the exchange.

Wall Street was panicked, and Americans were worried that their money would be wasted, and they surrounded the stock exchange from morning to night, and lined up to Queens Street outside, causing the largest man-made road and mine blockage in New York City in history.

In the presidential suite of a senior hotel, the record player played the most popular swing songs in the United States in the 1920s. Zhang Meng lay on his back on the sofa, savoring a century-old foreign wine, crossing his legs and playing rhythmically.

"I really know how to enjoy it!"

Zhang Wei, who had just returned from outside, rolled her eyes when she saw Zhang Meng's enjoyment look.

"Oh, our diplomatic goddess is back. How about it? As the first female foreign minister in human history, it must have attracted much attention from the international community!"

Zhang Wei snorted and said, "First of all, correct your mistake! I can only say that she was the first female foreign minister of the Tang Empire, and the first female foreign minister in human history was Shangguan Wan'er."

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Yes, how come you forget this strong woman from our Tang Dynasty!"

"You are very good at placing gold on your face!" Zhang Wei burst out laughing, and then sighed: "It would be great if it was the Tang Dynasty. If all countries come to pay tribute, Shangguan Wan'er will definitely be imposing. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty is too small and weak. In international occasions, the eyes of officials from various countries are simply skipping over me and looking at others."

Listening to Zhang Wei's complaints, Zhang Meng just smiled faintly.

Although the Tang Empire is still an inconspicuous small country at present, Zhang Meng believes that this inconspicuous small country will rise strongly in no time.

In his opinion, the 1920s and 1930s were an era of concentrated outbreak of world miracles. The Soviet Union and Germany were the miracles of this era. These two countries made their industrial strength a short period of time, and the Soviet Union was established on the basis of the poor and backward Tsarist Russia and were surrounded by the entire Western world. In addition, the political struggle within the Soviet Union was fierce. It can be said that until the outbreak of the world economic crisis, the Soviet Union's development was very slow. If it were not for the world economic crisis that relaxed the blockade of the Soviet Union, more than 20,000 American companies invested in the Soviet Union, which greatly helped it become stronger from the isolated world. The Soviet Union would not have grown stronger in just ten years before the outbreak of World War II.

Another Germany in Zhang Meng's eyes was actually not much stronger than the Soviet Union, and it was one of the countries that was dragged most severely by the US economic crisis. Hitler reversed the situation in Germany in just six years after he came to power, all because he adopted a militarized wartime planned economy model, which was very similar to the role of the Soviet Union's planned economy, which enabled Germany to quickly get rid of the economic crisis and become stronger quickly.

It can be said that the world economic crisis has created the rapid rise of the Soviet Union and Germany, which has led them to reach the second and third place in the world respectively, catching up with the United States.

Today, although Zhang Meng does not have the population and resource advantages of the Soviet Union and the infrastructure advantages of Germany, he has huge financial advantages.

When the global economic crisis broke out, the huge amount of funds he had in his hands could buy the infrastructure and superstructure necessary for the rapid rise of the Tang Empire at the lowest price. Zhang Meng's unparalleled strategic vision was to take fewer detours than Germany and the Soviet Union in the future development direction. He knew how to develop and grow correctly and quickly.

Therefore, in Zhang Meng's view, the upcoming global economic crisis will not only create a miraculous development of the Soviet Union and Germany, but also create a third myth, that is, the myth of the dark horse of the Tang Empire emerging from a new force.

Whenever Zhang Meng smiled even happier whenever he thought of this.

Seeing Zhang Meng giggling mysteriously again, Zhang Wei interrupted him and said, "Don't giggle, hurry up and give orders to throw all the stocks. This time you calculated it again. The US stock market opened at the opening of this morning. Congratulations on your successful short selling again."

Over the past few days, Zhang Wei has been worried every day. For her, although she is a lady who is not worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, she has never seen a huge gambler worth billions of dollars.

Zhang Meng is undoubtedly such a gambler. He crazily shorted the US stock market with billions of dollars, and in exchange for anyone who thinks he is an absolute croup and a fool. But only those who are really around him know his power, like a wizard with prophecy, he calculates it accurately every time.

Although Zhang Meng's decision was extremely correct, whenever he heard the Dow Jones Index fall, Zhang Wei felt nervous whenever he was careful.

In Zhang Meng's words, what you play is excitement, what you play is heartbeat.

The phone rings at this time.

Zhang Wei got up to answer the phone, but soon she said to Zhang Meng with a bad expression: "There is a golden-retriever vixen looking for you!"

Zhang Meng immediately smiled bitterly. The golden-retriever vixen in Zhang Wei's mouth refers to Princess Mira of the Rothschild family. Recently, Zhang Meng and Mira have been very close, and the two often meet each other for dinner.

This time it was still Miraiyo and Zhang Meng met, and the location was the cafe of this hotel.

"I'll go out!"

"Be careful to be eaten by the vixen! Foreign golden-retriever foxes eat people and don't spit bones!"

Zhang Wei glared at Zhang Meng with anger and turned to her room.

Is this girl jealous?

Looking at Zhang Wei's back, Zhang Meng suddenly smiled evilly.

When they arrived at the cafe, Zhang Meng saw Mira at a glance. She was so beautiful that she was so annoying. Not far away, a group of American men wanted to go up and chat with her, but they were all blocked by her bodyguards. But they did not give up. Seeing that Mira was alone without a male companion, they sat in a nearby position and continued to tease her.

Mira has noble cultivation and tutoring, so she naturally will not expel these people by force, because she can have a trick called ignorance.

When Zhang Meng appeared, Mira immediately showed a charming smile, which made the heartbeat of the American men around her accelerate. When they saw that the goddess in their hearts actually hugged a yellow man with a kiss, they all showed surprise. Seeing the intimate appearance of the two of them made them even more crazy and sigh.

"A flower is put on cow dung!"

Seeing that Mira had a male companion, these onlookers looked at Zhang Meng with envy and hatred, and left in anger.

In normal times, Zhang Meng would definitely beat them up, but in front of the beauty, Zhang Meng had to pretend to be more gentlemanly.

Recently, Mira deliberately approached Zhang Meng and acted very close. Outsiders think that Zhang Meng and Mira fell in love. Only Zhang Meng knew in his heart that the IQ in front of him was no less than 180. Although Zhang Meng thought that his IQ was 220, he did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy.

"Congratulations on your successful short selling again. The US stock market has plummeted again. You must have made a lot of money!"

"Haha, shit luck! shit luck!"

Looking at Zhang Meng with a harmless smile, Mira not only admired his luck, but also believed in Zhang Meng's economic mind.

"Do you think the US stock market will continue to plummet?"

"It's hard to say! It's hard to say!"

Zhang Meng shook his head cautiously, making Mira even more unable to see through his thoughts.

However, Mira insisted on asking Zhang Meng to answer, and Zhang Meng had no choice but to say: "If the Hoover government is willing to rescue the market, then naturally he will not dare to short sell any more."

Mira's eyes lit up and she asked, "Do you think it's feasible for the government to rescue the market?"

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Of course! If the government takes action to rescue the market, the people will no longer panic. The US stock market will naturally regain its strength and it will not be a problem to resume the bull market."
