1855 United States Tycoon

The article by Scrooge and Rockefeller in the newspaper reminding the people not to repeat the "tulip mania" is like throwing a pebble into the torrent. Although a small water splash is splashed, it is only It was just a splash of water. Taotao's capital flow has not been affected at all.

The price of oil continues to rise at a high speed, and the eyes of all people in the United States are on oil. Many business owners of companies that are not prosperous (such as steel, railways, etc.) simply sell their companies and jump into the ranks of the oil. The price of oil rises almost three times a day. From morning to afternoon, a barrel of oil may rise by 30 to 50 cents in a day. The entire northeastern United States is crazy about oil. Of course, in such a frenzy, not all people have fallen into a frenzy. In the history of mankind, at any time, there are always sober people, and there are always a lot of them. It's just that among these people, there are few people who dare to stop such irrational capital floods, and among these people, there are very few people who can really stop such floods. However, there are always people who will come out and try, to see if they can become a hero who can turn the tide.

"Mr. Lincoln, today's oil mania has undoubtedly become another'tulip mania'. Are you still sitting here indifferent? Damn, these lunatics are destroying the United States economy! You can't just Look, you have to do something! Otherwise, I promise you that after a month, the bodies of the dead who committed suicide due to bankruptcy will be floating on the lakes of the Great Lakes and the seas of New York, and the United States will also fall. In a crisis. You are the president. You should fulfill your own responsibilities to prevent this from happening!" Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase yelled at Lincoln, so that Lincoln had to turn his head to avoid his mouth. Spitting out.

"Mr. Chase, calm down. You are the Secretary of the Treasury. You should know that I don't have many methods that can directly interfere with the market." Lincoln said, "Don't I know what you told me? But, You tell me, within our power, what means can we use to curb this fanaticism?" Lincoln asked.

Salmon Chase replied: “We can make a statement in the media to express our concern about the current situation and remind people to calm down. We can also adjust it through taxation.”

"It's okay to speak to the media. Tax regulation? Mr. Chase, this must be approved by Congress! Do you think such a plan can be passed by Congress? I dare say that even if all the Democrats in Congress vote for it, it is just The negative votes in our party are enough to abort such a plan." Lincoln replied.

"Of course I know! Damn, there are also a bunch of fools in the Republican Party who want to take this opportunity to make money, and there are a bunch of stupid believers who believe that the best government does nothing and let the market make a fool of themselves. Of course such a resolution cannot be passed. And in fact, even if it is passed, we have no time to pass it. By the time we finish that set of procedures, this damn oil mania would have collapsed long ago. But, you know, just make it like this Your attitude can have an impact on the market. Moreover, Lincoln, you have been re-elected as president, I really don’t know what you are hesitating? Do you still want to sit in this position and never leave?" Chase said.

"Don't you worry, once we do this, the whole market will collapse immediately? Then the Democrats will accuse us, saying that we caused all this, and then even the free market fanatics in the party will also Stand on their side. And those people who wake up from the dream of getting rich, they will not blame the guys on Wall Street, they will only accuse us of the culprit for all this. We, and even the entire Republican Party will be greatly affected. Big blow." Lincoln said.

"Let it go, it will also collapse, and the consequences will be more serious!" Chase retorted, "And those national parties, as well as the injured people will also blame us. As for public opinion, Mr. Lincoln, in such a serious matter. When it comes to choosing a side between the government and Wall Street, fools know which side the public opinion will stand on."Indeed, all fools know which side the newspaper will stand on. In many cases, the United States government is professionally used to blame Wall Street. Lincoln was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, let's make a statement first to see the effect."

"Mr. Morgan, should we throw out the oil in our hands? Look, President Lincoln just gave a speech, expressing his concern about the abnormal rise in oil prices." Gutwin asked.

"I've entrusted this to you." JP Morgan said, "You should make your own mind. However, if even the warning of Scrooge McDonald, who is known as Caesar in the business world, doesn't work, Lincoln's speech can have How effective is it?"

"But with his speech, Mr. Macdonald's speech, maybe someone really believed it." Gutwin said.

"Well, then you can join the joint operations that are speculating oil with you. In short, as long as you can stabilize it yourself, if the dealer does not move, the in and out of the retail investors will not have any effect. In addition, the gorilla Lincoln probably thinks that he does not need to consider re-election, so he can ignore our interests? He is really..."

After Lincoln's statement, Scrooge published another warning article in the newspaper, but it was an uninspired article, almost repeating the article from a week ago. So much so that the New York Herald satirized Scrooge and the New York Tribune, which published Scrooge's article:

"Mr. Scrooge McDonald has invented another way to make money, that is, to change the same article, and then get a stupid newspaper again to publish it. And this stupid newspaper also published it in the same way. But this is not surprising, not surprising at all, because all the editorials in this newspaper are fried cold rice over and over again..."

The retail investors were still a little flustered for a while. On the second day of Lincoln’s speech, the oil volume was ascending, and many people began to throw out the oil in their hands. However, the oil was almost immediately by other people. Bought. The price of oil has dropped slightly, but has quickly returned to growth. Some retail investors who fled during this period ran back crying and crying. As a result, oil prices have risen at a faster rate than before.

"Dorothea, I want to tell you something," Scrooge said.

"What's the matter?" Dorothea closed the construction report of the McDonald Tower in front of her. Raised his head and asked.

"Lincoln asked Congress to approve him to impose special taxes on speculative behavior." Scrooge said. "What can you tell from this news?"

"Great!" Dorothea gritted her teeth. "This damn guy is going to be unlucky! This is really good news, Scrooge! This bastard who burned Mississippi must have a long head. How dare he jump out and block everyone's money! He is dead! Damn it, why didn't he do this a few years ago?"

"He probably thinks he won't be re-elected anyway, right?" Scrooge said.

"Re-elected?" Dorothea let out a gloomy laugh from between her teeth. "Hmph, Scrooge, I'll make a bet with you. I bet he won't be able to endure the term. How?"

"I don't make such a bet that doesn't even explain the bet." Scrooge said, "And with this bet, your chances of winning are obviously greater. Unless the bet is decided by me, I won't play with you."

"Well then, you set the bet!" Dorothea said.

"Ah, this way, let me think about it." Scrooge said as he walked over and circled Dorothea.

"Have you figured it out?" Seeing Scrooge's gaze on herself and the books at the own table, Dorothea suddenly became a little nervous, "This bad guy won't lose it again. Give me a problem set, right?"

"I think it's all right." Scrooge said with a bad smile, "If I win, you will let me kiss ten times!"

"You bastard!" Dorothea blushed, her eyes widened and cursed.

"Why? Don't you dare to gamble?" Scrooge deliberately left a triumphant look.

"Huh! What's not to dare! Just gamble! Anyway, you're an idiot who would mess around without my help, what do I have, what's not to dare." Dorothea's voice suddenly became lower. , And at the same time she lowered her head and pinched the corner of her own clothes.

"Well, that's it!" Scrooge said.

"Hold on!" Dorothea suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked something important.

"What's the matter?" Scrooge asked.

"I... I almost let you escape again!" Dorothea said, "You haven't said what if you lose?"

"Ah, look, if you don't tell me, I really almost forgot." Scrooge smiled shamelessly. "My bet is very fair and reasonable. Since I won, you let me kiss ten times. Then correspondingly, if you win, I will let you kiss ten times."

"Go to hell you!"

"Pain, I got another new news. The tyrant of Lincoln will give a speech at Pennsylvania State University in two days. I got a McDonald's 1857 precision shooting rifle." Herold said.

"Great! The end of this tyrant is here!" Pain replied. Since the last failed assassination, John Wilkes Booth, who presided over the assassination, died on the spot, but they managed to escape, waiting for the opportunity.
