Chapter 734 Implicated!
Chapter 734: Implicit!
Fester chuckled and said quietly, "Mr. Hong probably has no time left. Now he must be busy helping McKinley deal with Harding! Humph... Harding has caused such a big trouble, I think how can he have the face to let the American people vote in the general election this time!"
Higgins smiled and said, "Fester, political matters are not something we should care about. No matter who becomes president, it cannot stop us from making money. Look, now that the stock index has not dropped by a point, we will have tens of millions of dollars to account for! Tell me, did you feel so good when you were playing in the Saudi stock market back then?"
Fesde recalled for a moment, shook his head, and said slowly, "When I was in Saudi Arabia, I was alone. I didn't have a comrade-in-arms as good as you, and there were no such powerful forces as Mr. Hong and Mr. Zhang to support me. No matter what I do, I was trembling and small-scale! Even so, I was imprisoned by the Saudi government for ten years! You just said that political matters are not something we should care about, and I think this is wrong. Politics and economy have never been separated. Let me ask, if it were not for Mr. Hong's support, could we sit here and drink champagne so swagger? Humph... The American FBI would have broken into the door long ago and invited us to have tea!"
Higgins nodded with a deep sense of the same feeling and said quietly, "If you say that, it makes sense! When I didn't know Mr. Hong before, I worked alone, and I always looked at the faces of politicians, and they called them to drink. But now, hehe... I don't have to take anyone seriously, because no matter what happens, Mr. Hong can settle it for me. This feeling of having no worries but giving it a try is really not something that can be described by the word "satisfaction".
Fester said with a laugh, "So! We want to make this money, and we can't just ask about this politics. Now, 99% of the financial institutions on Wall Street are losing money, but we are making money, and we are making big profits. We must not let such a good opportunity go!"
Seeing that Fesder seemed to have a new idea, Higgins was happy and laughed excitedly and asked, "Festder, what did you think of again? Say it!"
Feisde smiled like an old fox and said word by word, "By Wall Street at the bottom!"
"By Wall Street at the bottom!? What do you mean..." Higgins was obviously frightened by Fester's idea that sounded a bit crazy, and asked in astonishment.
"We have made a lot of money now and have enough capital in our hands. With the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, countless financial institutions on Wall Street are facing bankruptcy. If we take the opportunity to absorb them at this time, it will be a big advantage for us. Although these financial institutions are burdened by subprime lending business and are on the verge of bankruptcy, they still have many very profitable businesses. We can get rid of the waste and save the essence, transform these financial institutions, merge them, and wait until the subprime mortgage crisis passes and the economy improves, these will bring us huge profits. No matter how bad we are, we can take this opportunity to absorb a large number of financial talents! In the context of the subprime mortgage crisis, these talents are as cheap as carrots and cabbage. It would be a pity if we don't pick them up!"
Higgins looked at Fesde blankly and murmured, "I admire you more and more. You are so imaginative. I never could have imagined you. No wonder you have always been better than me!"
Fesder glared at him and said, "What are you doing with this nonsense? Do you mean, what's my idea? Do you like it?"
"Agree! Of course, I agree! Hahaha... After this bottom-up integration, we will undoubtedly become the largest financial institution on Wall Street. From then on, we will be the well-deserved king of Wall Street!" Higgins said loudly.
"Not only that, creating such a huge financial empire will surely allow us to gain an unparalleled political status. By that time, we will no longer need to look at the faces of those politicians! We can even choose our own president! Hahaha..." Fester said with a laugh.
"Brother, it's really wonderful to be able to meet you again! I never thought that Higgins would stand so high one day! Let's do it together and decide the future of America together!" Higgins shouted in great excitement.
"Okay! From now on, we will divide the work and cooperate! You are responsible for entering the European and Japanese stock markets. I guess that Europe, Japan and the US economy are so dependent on the US economy. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States will soon spread to the capital markets of Europe and Japan, and their stock markets will soon plummet with the US stock market. We cannot miss this opportunity to make money! As for me, we will now start screening targets from financial institutions on the verge of bankruptcy on Wall Street and start our annexation plan!" Feisder is a person who does it at will. Whenever he has an idea, he wishes he could implement it immediately.
Higgins frowned and asked, "Do we should discuss with Mr. Zhang or Mr. Hong and get their consent. After all, this is not a small move."
Fesder thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's necessary! Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hong have already made it clear a few times that we are fully responsible for the matters in the stock market, which shows that they trust us very much. Our plan is beneficial to them and it's not harmful to them. I believe they will agree! What's more, you said just now that Mr. Hong and the others are busy winning the US election, so I don't think they will bother them!"
Higgins pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Then let's act separately!" Fester and Higgins didn't expect that the financial empire they created would have helped Zhang Qiang in the near future. They also left their immortal names in the new era of the earth.
Feisder and Higgins expected it well. Hong Tao is very busy now. The US stock market plummeted, and the wealth of countless people evaporated overnight, including many Chinese in the United States. There is no doubt that as a foreigner, it is more difficult to make money on American land than Americans, so these Chinese in the United States also value their hard-earned money more. After only one night of sleep, their assets evaporated, and the blow they suffered was heavier than that of Americans. Early in the morning, Hong Tao received a call from his secretary. Hong Tao didn't care about breakfast, so he drove to the headquarters of the China Federation.
Before his car could stop, he was surrounded by countless overseas Chinese. Hong Tao walked out of the car and felt very uncomfortable when he saw the haggard and painful faces around him. In fact, Hong Tao had long expected that this plan to make money in the US stock market would definitely affect the interests of many overseas Chinese in the US. Hong Tao originally wanted to notify them and let them withdraw from the US stock market as soon as possible, but he was worried that doing so would cause the news to be revealed, make the US government alert, and then make their money-making plan completely fail, so he still held back.
"President, think of a solution! Our family now has no money to buy rice..." A white-haired old man looked at Hong Tao with tears in his eyes. They have no relatives and no reason in the United States, and now they can only rely on the China Federation.
As soon as the old man's crying fell to the ground, the crowd was as painful as a ball. The scene made Hong Tao cry when he heard it.
"Don't cry! Don't forget that we are not on our own land. We are so cowardly, we will only let foreigners see the jokes of us Chinese, and we wipe our tears clean! I promise you that I am very popular, and our China Federation will never abandon everyone's care!" Hong Tao comforted the crowd loudly.
"Hong Tao, I heard that something happened to the China Federation of China?" Xiaohan hurried over and saw so many overseas Chinese surrounding Hong Tao. He immediately walked to Hong Tao and asked.
Hong Tao nodded, leaned into Xiaohan's ear, and briefly explained the matter. Xiaohan's eyebrows were clustered, and he knew that this was inevitable. He sighed and said to everyone, "Hello everyone! I am the Chinese ambassador to the United States. I also assure you that although many of you are no longer Chinese nationality, you are also Chinese and descendants of Yanhuang. Our Chinese government will not watch everyone fall into dire straits and ignore them! I promise you that we will come up with a way as soon as possible to find a way to reduce everyone's losses and let everyone live happily like before!"
"President Hong, Ambassador Xiao, we...we all depend on you!" The white-haired old man before said to the two of them, and knelt down.
When Hong Tao saw him, he hurriedly helped him up and said repeatedly, "Uncle Hua, what are you doing? I, Hong Tao, are you growing up when I watched me grow up. How could you kneel down to me? Isn't this a big deal for my life?"
The old man with white hair said with tears in his eyes, "Atao, if I had no choice, I wouldn't have come to make things difficult for you. Last year, when I saw the US stock market rising and rising, I couldn't help it for a while and invested all the money I earned from opening a restaurant into the stock market. But unexpectedly, the stock market plummeted overnight, and all my investments turned into bubbles! Atao, my granddaughter is about to go to college. She seems to be using money, but now I am penniless except for a lot of debt! My granddaughter is about to drop out of school. She cried at home for a day yesterday and didn't eat. Atao, you must save us!"
"Yes, yes..." Others also talked about their own difficulties and embarrassment. Every family really has a difficult sutra. Hong Tao glanced at Xiaohan, and then said to Uncle Hua, "Uncle Hua, don't worry, the reason why the China Federation was established is to let everyone help each other and have a support for each other! Now that you have difficulties, we must not sit idly by. You always hear it clearly. If your granddaughter really drops out of school, you will twist my Hong Tao's ear off and give you a drink!"
After hearing Hong Tao's words, the old man felt very warm in his heart. He held Hong Tao's hand tightly, and couldn't even say anything. He just kept nodding, and his trembling and gray hair made Hong Tao feel very sad. Hong Tao held Uncle Hua's hand and said, "Uncle Hua, don't cry, don't be excited. I have something to ask for your help!"
Uncle Hua wiped his tears, nodded repeatedly, and said, "What's the matter? You said, as long as I can do it, even if I don't want it, I'll help you!"
Hong Tao smiled and said, "You should keep your old bones and enjoy your happiness! Haha... I want you to select a few representatives from the crowd, count the losses suffered by each household, and then I will wait for you in the office. My office is very small and can't accommodate so many of you, haha..."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it now!" Uncle Hua was also a smart person. When he heard this, he immediately took action. He quickly ordered a few smart and capable people in the crowd and started working.
Hong Tao said to Xiaohan, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the office and talk!" Xiaohan nodded and followed Hong Tao to his office at the headquarters of the China Federation of China.
After sitting down, Hong Tao let out a long sigh without saying anything, and said quietly, "I feel really uncomfortable when I see Uncle Hua as anxious as this!"
"You feel bad when you drink, and I think it's like a heavy load of lead. Hong Tao, you said, we only care about making money ourselves, but even our compatriots are harmed. Are we a little unethical?" Xiaohan asked with frowning.
"Sister-in-law, why do you think so? This plan was decided by us and Brother Qiang at the beginning. What do you mean is that Brother Qiang is also unethical?" Hong Tao asked frowned.
Xiaohan shook his head and said, "I don't mean that. I just feel uneasy when I did this! We earn not only American money, but also our hard-earned money from our Chinese compatriots! Look at the people outside, don't you think they are pitiful? If I had expected this in advance, maybe I wouldn't let Qiangzi do this!"
Hong Tao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Qiang always said that you are so kind. Now it seems that Brother Qiang is saying good things at all! You are simply Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky. If anyone meets you, it will be considered a great fortune! Haha..."
Xiaohan couldn't help glaring at Hong Tao and said, "Hong Tao, do you have any sympathy? The compatriots outside all screamed like that, can you still laugh?"
Hong Tao held back his smile and said to Xiaohan, "Sister-in-law, tell you the truth. You didn't expect this result in advance, but Brother Qiang had thought of it long ago!"
