Chapter 40 Make a fortune
The two waited for a while, and the last shelf was almost full.There are also two brick movers using pulleys to place the gold bricks.Of course it was on pulleys and had to be moved, with gold worth 30 million US dollars. At $3000 an ounce, that’s 12.5 million ounces.A gold brick weighs 68000 kilograms, which is [-] gold bricks. It is not exhausting to death.

"Okay, just watch here. It's my turn to go out and have a cigarette. After the last car is finished, you can lock the door and come out. I'll wait for you outside. Hehe, I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Yeah" George nodded, and the man didn't pay attention and went out directly.After George waited for the last workers to leave, he quickly ran between the shelves. As he passed by, all the shelves disappeared.

Then, it was collected quickly.George walked to the door and locked it from the outside.Fingerprints don't exist, and the fingerprints he left behind after his transformation are not his own.When he came to the last iron gate, his colleague was leaning against the door waiting for him.After seeing him come out, he took the initiative to lock the last door and said: "Okay, let's go, it's getting late. After the handover is completed tomorrow, we will have a good drink."

Seeing that George still didn't say anything, the man came again: "Aren't you still angry with the supervisor? That's useless, who will let others take care of us. Let's go." After that, he was about to walk to a car. "I'm leaving now. If I have something to do tonight, I won't see you off. See you tomorrow!"

Then I saw the man opening the car door and taking out a rocker, shaking it in circles, and then drove away.To be honest, when he said it just now, George was already ready to knock him out. Although there were two security guards with guns in their waists on the left and right sides of the door, it was really easy to deal with them.

Well, no need for that now.George passed through two security checks again and walked out of the underground parking lot smoothly.Walking out of here, George felt amazing.I didn't expect to get the gold so easily, it's a bit incredible.

George found that there were still people searching for something on this road.After George walked out of this street, he found a deserted corner, transformed and left.

After returning to the study and dispersing the clones, George breathed a sigh of relief.I put my mind into the space and looked at the gold filling the space. This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much!
The problem now is that it seems that this is not worth the money. This is gold worth 30 million, and George is sure that even the Morgan consortium is not worth the money.George remembered a report in his previous life. After the Great Depression in the 7s, the Morgan family's property dropped from more than 4 million to more than [-] million.That is the accumulation of three generations of the Morgan family!
Forget it, once you enter his space, it's his. It's quite fun to leave it alone and look at it. After the few tons of vibranium, there are hundreds more tons of gold in the space.

Reconsidering the whole thing, someone knew about the transfer of gold worth [-] million from the Federal Reserve in advance, and then prepared to take advantage of the explosion on Wall Street to get away with part of it.It is not yet known whether the people who carried out the explosion are the same as those who want to take away the gold.

Maybe it was because he was lucky, but then he was intercepted by George, twice.George not only intercepted the first three cars, but also intercepted the Federal Reserve.

It seemed that something could be done here, and then late at night, George left the villa again and placed the three escort vehicles in the space at an unmanned intersection.As the saying goes, everything you pass by must leave traces.As a good guy, George is obliged to provide clues to the police. As for the follow-up, he can just watch the show.

The next day, almost all newspapers were reporting on yesterday's bombing.But the detailed report only appeared in newspapers three days later.

According to reports, while hundreds of Wall Street employees were out having lunch that day, a horse-drawn carriage pulled up in front of JPMorgan Chase, the world's most powerful banking institution.The carriage carried 45 kilograms of explosives, a 230 kilogram cast iron hammer and a timed explosive device. With a loud noise, the horse and carriage instantly broke into pieces, and cast iron fragments flew everywhere.

The powerful explosion turned the financial center of the United States into a mess, killing 38 people and injuring more than 300 people.The explosions could be heard throughout lower Manhattan and across the East River in Brooklyn.The smoky streets were littered with broken glass, fallen walls and bodies.

The few memories of the coachman and carriage were vague and almost useless.The NYPD reconstructs the bomb and its fuse, but there is much debate about the nature of the explosive, and all of the potential ingredients are relatively common.

For days, the police, Secret Service, and FBI were all at a loss.Since no person or group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, the NYPD considered a number of motives for the bombing.

and even assassinated John Pierpont Morgan Jr., but was ultimately ruled out because he was not in the United States at the time of the attack.Some people also believe that the explosion may be related to robbery. On that day, gold bars worth 9 million US dollars were transported to the nearby Ministry of Finance branch building.This one is relatively close, but it seems that the loss of [-] million gold bars has not been disclosed.But there is no direct evidence for either speculation.

A pile of anarchist flyers was also found yesterday in a mailbox a block off Wall Street.The leaflet was clearly printed: "We can't tolerate it anymore, release all political prisoners, otherwise death will be yours." The leaflet was signed: "Anarchists."

The targets of police suspicion were political radicals and anarchists from abroad - especially Italians, Russians and Jews.

As of today, the matter has not been determined.In the past three days, George had already asked three times. Except for the first time he went to the police station, the other two times were at his home.

The banquet was also postponed to the night of the 20th. In the past two days, George continued to collect some General Motors shares on the exchange as planned. Because of the explosion, the price dropped.However, thanks to George's efforts, the price per share is still around $17.

George purchased nearly 1% more GM stock. Now George owns a total of 1.8% of GM stock, and can be considered a small shareholder.It's just that the proportion is relatively small, so it doesn't need to be announced yet, but this cannot be hidden from some people's eyes.

After receiving this, George did not continue. Although he wanted to join GM, there was no need to offend people to death.

On the evening of the 20th, George wore a pure black handmade suit to attend the cocktail party.The economy is not going well this year, but it is not a big problem for some really big plutocrats like Morgan.But for the ordinary working class, it is a big problem.

Big chaebols can relieve market pressure by cutting leeks, telling small and medium-sized enterprises to get out of business and free up the market.Therefore, this whole year, the number of bankruptcies in the United States increased by more than 1919 times compared with 1.5, and the number of bank failures also increased by more than 6 times.The number of unemployed people soared to 430 million, and the unemployment rate among workers rose from 1920% in 7 to 23%.Real wages for employed workers have also fallen significantly.

Workers want better protection.However, this is against the backdrop of economic depression.It is absolutely impossible for the capitalists to give in, because they are also gritting their teeth and persisting.

In the United States after World War I, all the big chaebols were interested in some livelihood technologies, so after this short economic crisis, it was quickly stabilized.

Also because the war had just ended, although the large chaebols were involved in the military industry, they also abandoned many small and medium-sized enterprises.George laid out the military industry after seeing this opportunity.

What George picked up was equivalent to what those big plutocrats had discarded. It was just that George picked up gold from a pile of garbage because of his knowledge in his previous life.

If we push it back ten years, by 1930, the economy began to experience obvious instability, and it was basically impossible to continue to want to do military industry.Because Americans also believe in using the guns in their hands to protect their rights and interests.George met Mr. Groman at this so-called gathering of New York's upper-class celebrities.

When Groman saw George again, he couldn't help but sigh. In just a short time, this young man's assets have doubled again.In terms of total assets, many big families may be richer than him, but in terms of liquidity, George's current funds are definitely among the top.

"Congratulations, George."

"Thank you, Mr. Groman. The party tonight is very lively."

After introducing a group of celebrities to George, he left some free time for George to socialize with them.When these people knew that George was the latest best-selling novel author, they became even more enthusiastic.

That's how it would be in America, if George, in his capacity as a best-selling novelist, went to celebrity gatherings with Grohman.Then, George's ranking and popularity must be greater than Groman.

After a while, Groman appeared again and said to George: "You should appear in places like this more often in the future. After all, you are still young and you will be very popular here. Haha..."

Well, George admitted that he had misjudged this old man. He was still making such a joke with him at such an old age.

"Yes, I will always integrate in the future, but I have just started school, and this time it has been delayed for a long time because of the explosion."

"Young man, be patient. You still have a lot of time. Come on, I'll introduce you to a guest."

Groman helped George introduce Durant from General Motors, whose arrival was something George did not expect.George originally thought it would be from the Morgan family. Even if there was a small person in charge, George would understand.But if Durant is here, don't DuPont and the Durant family know that they are acquiring General Motors shares?

Are your actions not obvious enough?After completing the introduction task, Groman said goodbye and left.Only George and Durant are left.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Durant said first.

"Well, to be honest, a little bit. I thought it was the Morgan family who came. After all, they were the direct beneficiaries of the battery business before."

"They came back to find you, but I came first."

"You mean, you're not here for the technology in my hands?"

"Yes and no. Come on, let's talk somewhere else."

The two came to the balcony, took a sip of the cocktails in their hands, and said: "The battery technology in your hand is now something they are determined to get, so they must find someone to check it out before making a real offer. Since Someone visited you before, and you clearly expressed your willingness to cooperate. Then it is a matter of more money and less money. So, I will take on this errand. Come and talk to you first. "

After a brief pause, he continued: "Originally, it was another person from the Morgan family who came, but after I learned from a friend that you were purchasing shares of General Motors, I wanted to meet you first."

"May I know why?"

"Before answering your question, can you tell me why you acquired a large number of GM shares in the stock market?"

"Of course it's because I'm optimistic about GM's future."

"Well, thank you, thank you for your confidence in GM. In other words, you are prepared to hold it for a long time. But have you ever thought about what will happen if GM's stock continues to fall?"

"I have no choice about this, because you are the ones at the helm of GM, and it is up to you to decide where it will go. However, I already own 1.8% of the shares. If the value of the shares goes up, I will make a profit, and if it goes down, I will make a loss." Some. I can still afford to lose this amount of money. You know, I am a big gambler."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. So do you dare to bet bigger?"

"How to bet?"

"I will use all the stocks in my hand to give you a low price at half the price, and you will lend me a loan. Once the price is lower than 70% of the current price, all my stocks will belong to you. In other words, you will get 20% of the price difference for free. Of course, if If it rises, everyone will make money, and 50% of the profit will belong to you. It can be said that you are guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything."

"The conditions are very favorable. However, I do not accept any cash offers for battery patents. I only accept joint cooperation. Moreover, my cooperation conditions are for Morgan Bank and DuPont. I want both of their companies. Some of the shares can be negotiated. So if possible, I would like to ask Mr. Durant to help convey it."
