Note: Based on a true story, taken from "Legendary Wall Street Investor-Livermore"
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon on January 27, 1923, Sam was in the bustling Stock Exchange at 18 Broadway in New York City.
"FUCk yOU!" Translation: Fuck you!
"my mOney!" Translation: my money!
Countless cordial greetings continued to circulate throughout the exchange, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
In an Oldsmobile 30 car on the roadside, Wilson, the spy chief of Sam State, heard the news and turned his fiery eyes to the person next to him, "Livermore, is this a success?"
The middle-aged man wearing round glasses put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "It seems to have been successful. These idiots are easily fooled, but this time it is thanks to your support, Wilson."
This person is none other than the famous speculator in Sam Country, Jesse Livermore, nicknamed the Short King.
"You don't have to thank me. This is God's will. I just don't know how much money I can make this time... We will divide it into 30-70 according to the regulations later."
Livermore looked at the other party with some gratitude. "This is not God's will, Mr. Wilson, and I sincerely appreciate your funding."
When Livermore was at his most depressed, it was Wilson who took the initiative to find him, expressed his belief in his vision, and invested $400,000 in him.
Just a few days ago, Livermore used this money to manipulate the market and made a huge profit of $12 million in wheat and corn futures.
This time, with Wilson's permission, Livermore used 25 times leverage financing in an unconstrained manner and hired hundreds of brokers to quietly establish a super short position covering 126 stocks worth US$450 million. .
Of course, we still don’t know how much we can earn specifically, but hundreds of millions should be no problem.
"Livermore, Mr. Wilson, your hot dogs are here." A man in a suit walked out of the car window, knocked on the car window, and handed over two hot dogs.
"Miller, how's it going? How many corn cobs did we harvest?" Wilson asked impatiently as he took a big bite of the hot dog.
Miller got into the car and said, "Sir, this is a bit too scary, harvesting 18 corn cobs."
Mr. Livermore and Mr. Wilson were dumbfounded, and the hot dogs in their mouths seemed to no longer taste good.
"18 corn cobs?"
"Miller, are you lying about military information?"
After receiving a positive answer, the two of them were so excited that they almost fainted.
A total of 180 million US dollars!
What a concept!
You must know that during this period, the fiscal revenue of the Sam federal government for the whole year was only US$4.6 billion.
Even top financial groups like JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon, and DuPont only had assets of US$1 to 4 billion at this time.
The average monthly income of Sam's workers is only US$50.
"Wilson, I'm going to invite you and Miller to the Cotton Nightclub in Harlem tonight. I'm going to book the place and invite 300 girls to play for seven days and seven nights!" Livermore happily took out his cigar and started smoking.
According to the agreement, he can take 30% of the 180 million, which is about 54 million US dollars.
"No, Livermore, I have something very important to do. You can go and have fun by yourself first!" After that, Wilson and Miller got out of the car and disappeared into the crowd.
…
2 hours later, No. 15 Haining Road, Jinling City.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Lu Xiaojia, who had been staying by the phone, quickly answered the call from across the ocean.
You heard it right, during this period, there was actually technology for transoceanic phone calls, and the AT&T company in Sam country also set up transoceanic phone services in big cities such as Jinling and Hudu in China.
Of course, this so-called transoceanic phone call is not transmitted through submarine cables, but uses radio and is converted through multiple relay stations to achieve calls, but the price is a little bit expensive.
To make a transoceanic call from Jinling City in China to New York City in Sam State, the cost of a 3-minute call is 120 US dollars, which is 300 silver dollars.
So this is only for the super rich.
When the call was connected, Lu Xiaojia said, "Wilson, I congratulate you on getting rich!"
Wilson was very humble on the phone, "Dear boss, you are kidding, how can I make a fortune? I am almost begging for food in New York."
"Wilson, stop talking nonsense. How much money did Livermore help you make?" Lu Xiaojia went straight to the point. He was eager to know how much he could earn this time.
"The boss had 180 million, but Livermore took 30%. I still have 126 million US dollars." Wilson did not dare to hide it and told the whole story.
"Okay, good job!"
Lu Xiaojia was very greedy, "Wilson, I can leave you 6 million US dollars as activity funds. You can keep up your efforts, and you can transfer the rest to my Citibank account."
"NO, boss, you are taking advantage of the situation!"
"Wilson, you guessed it right, I'm just taking advantage of your boss, so come to my rescue immediately!"
After saying that, Lu Xiaojia hung up the phone. He was not worried about Wilson disobeying him.
120 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 300 million silver dollars, and Sam's country must be wealthy.
He became a rich man in an instant, so Lu Xiaojia decided to straighten up Hai Kong's airs.
The fuel resource area provided by the system has been placed in Ninghai County, and the heavy fuel needed for warships has been solved, so it is no problem to raise more warships.
Navy
Two Borg-class escort aircraft carriers, each priced at 8 million silver dollars.
Two Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, each priced at 14 million silver dollars.
Three Fletcher destroyers, each sold for 2 million silver dollars.
6 U-VIIC submarines, each priced at 900,000 silver dollars.
In addition to 500 junior naval officers, the total cost is 5,690 silver dollars.
Lu Xiaojia purchased the Borg-class aircraft carrier with the intention of using it to train naval aviation.
The Borg-class aircraft carrier was converted from a C-3 cargo ship used by Sam State into a small escort carrier during World War II, code-named ACV, and the cost was relatively cheap.
