Chapter 1232 Destruction and Crisis (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
In the spring of 1835, this craze finally reached its peak.
A tomato originally only cost one gold coin in 1833, but by this time it had grown to three thousand gold coins.
This price is enough for people to buy a villa within the fourth ring road of the Imperial City of Akadrin.
At 3:47 pm on May 12, 1835, people will always remember this moment clearly.
At this time, it was almost the end of market trading. After a busy day, people were all a little tired, and they had already begun to pack their things.
Because according to past practice, when the market closes, the price of tomatoes will basically not change much.
They looked at the red price list on the wall of the trading floor, and while contentedly estimating how much they earned today, they greeted their companions next to them and planned which bar to go to for a few drinks after get off work. , relieve the fatigue of this day.
Some people even packed their things and turned around to leave the trading floor.
but……
But at this moment, a staff member from the exchange suddenly came out from behind in a hurry, then held up a long wooden pole, took down the red price tag on the high wall, and then replaced it.
The price on the other side.
Out of professional sensitivity, people who were about to leave couldn't help but turn around, take a look, and then stopped.
They were shocked to find that the price was actually green~!
People couldn't help but feel strange for a while.
At first, they thought the staff had made a mistake, and several people took the opportunity to shout loudly.
'Where did this idiot come from?'
"If the price is really this, I can eat as much as I want..."
"..."
It immediately made everyone present burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, another staff member ran over sweating profusely with a sign, planning to change the price tag again.
After everyone saw it, they felt relieved for a while.
The cards were changed again so quickly. Someone must have made a mistake.
Someone in the crowd muttered: "Grandma, I really thought the price had been reduced. It scared me into a cold sweat."
The words were not loud, but they were clearly heard in everyone's ears, making them laugh again. But at the same time, there was an ominous cloud rising in their hearts.
It’s easy to tell if the registration is wrong. Everyone continues to make money and work, buy houses and land, keep mistresses and raise mistresses...
But what if...
What if he did not make a mistake and it was really a green card?
Thinking of the terrible consequences, everyone felt shuddering for a moment. They all held their breath, widened their eyes, and watched quietly as the staff took down the sign on the high wall and waited quietly.
Then he hung up the other sign in his hand.
Although this period of time only lasted for a mere ten seconds, in the eyes of these anxious waiters, it seemed like a year had passed.
Immediately, I saw that the staff member was still hanging a green card.
Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Green card??~!!!
It’s still a green card~!
How is this possible?
In the past two years, the price of tomatoes has been rising. Why did it suddenly drop?
this……
This is not scientific~!
Everyone in the trading floor was stunned and at a loss for a moment.
Just when everyone was shocked, they saw that the price tag was changing at the standard speed of once per minute. Every time it was changed, it would drop by one gold coin.
For them, every gold coin drop in the price means that the tens of thousands of gold coins in their hands have been turned into ashes.
By the time they reacted, the price tag had dropped by nearly twenty gold coins.
For a moment, the brokers, dealers, stocks, brokers, futures traders in the hall... all went crazy~!
In order to recover their losses, they rushed to the trading counter one after another, planning to sell in order to recover their losses. But at this time, in the trading hall, the huge floor clock began to ring.
After the trading hall was established, this huge clock was specially ordered from the Flying Eagle Swiss Clock Company in the Human Continent at a huge expense to show the traders' respect for time and to show that they were 13. It keeps accurate time every day.
The error is no more than one second.
The sound of the bell is rich and melodious, and extremely clear.
For everyone in the exchange, every time the bell rang, it was like the sound of gold coins flowing into their pockets, which made them smile.
But at this time, in my ears, the sound sounded like a death knell.
Since the exchange was closed, people had to turn around and go home.
After spending a long and uneasy night, these haggard people came to the exchange early the next morning, imagining that yesterday's drop was just a nightmare.
But what disappointed them, or to be precise, what frightened them was that as soon as the market opened, the price had already been cut in half, down to half. Then it began to continue to fall.
The market suddenly fell into panic, and people went crazy. They pulled their hair, howled in pain, and rushed to the counter to sell the tomatoes in their hands.
But no one in the market dared to take over this hot potato at this time.
The price of tomatoes plummeted. It was like jumping off a cliff, plummeting all the way.
Countless speculators, including nobles, landowners, merchants, farmers, craftsmen, chimney sweeps, toilet flushers, etc., all lost their money and were left penniless.
Although the government is doing inspirational propaganda every day, such as "How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?" and "Opportunity is just around the corner," "Winter is coming, can spring be far behind?" "The most important thing in life is to be happy"...etc.
Wait, but on the tallest tower in the imperial city, bankrupts with fragile psychology jump from it every day.
When the speculators reacted, they organized themselves one after another and asked the government for help. Some even held a large-scale demonstration, calling on everyone to unite and occupy the Akadelin Imperial City City Hall.
This activity, similar to Occupy Wall Street, immediately angered the authorities who had just come to power in a coup.
Damn it, these guys are feeding unfamiliar shit. When they were making a lot of money, they didn't even bother to share a little bit with the government. Now they are sitting in shit, but they have to wipe it for them themselves?
Is this justified?
Those young and passionate soldiers immediately waved their hands and sent a group of soldiers in. They beat up the unscrupulous bastards and quelled the parade very efficiently.
Because of their decisive actions, they even won praise from the leader, the Lich Cameron.
At this time, the entire Semitic tribe was already in mourning, and the economy was in complete ruins.
Countless people were reduced to abject poverty due to bankruptcy and displacement. In order to support themselves, they had to sell their sons and daughters and wander around.
However, this will provide a lot of help to the military.
Due to the economic crisis, those young men and women joined the army one after another in order to have enough to eat. This made the military easily complete the recruitment plan and speed up the pace of war preparations.
The pace of war is getting closer and closer.

"It's broken five, it's broken five~!" Leo shouted and rushed into the room. Xiaobai, as a follower, followed closely behind his boss, howling in unison.
As a result, the excited Chairman Leo didn't see his feet. The sole of his foot slipped and his calf limped. He fell to the ground with a clean "chirp".
Leo's actions shocked everyone. Just as Catherine was about to stand up, Leo, who was lying face down on the ground, stretched out his arms. He opened his palms to everyone and said excitedly: "Five, five~
!”
When Catherine saw her brother like this, she was so angry that she rolled her eyes at him and sat back down.
Princess Lulu looked at Leo's excitement and concluded, "This little gangster is possessed..."
Adele and the others nodded at the same time, agreeing with Princess Lulu's statement. This little ruffian had been in the stock market every day for the past few days. He went there all day long. He went there before the market opened and came back after the market closed.
It was as if they were obsessed. If it weren't for the fact that the Eagle Railway was their own, they would really be worried that this kid would throw his wealth and life into it.
After Lorraine's popular science, they heard about all kinds of money-making scams and the ways in which big fish eat small fish. They all know that the stock market is a bottomless pit. Only bankers can always make sure profits without losing money.
Fortunately, they are the dealers~!
Milena sighed quietly, closed the book in front of her, stood up like a lady, walked slowly to Leo, took Leo's arm, and pulled him up from the ground.
Then he gently patted Leo's clothes and smoothed his clothes. A pair of big clear and transparent eyes stared at Leo, and said with a chuckle: "Don't embarrass me next time, I will make you look good~!"
Leo smiled stupidly and nodded, saying: "Meilin, it's broken five, do you know? We are prosperous~!"
Melina helplessly touched her smooth forehead with her little hands, then turned around and left angrily, deciding not to talk to this silly boy for at least two days, no, three days.
In the past, Leo would have discovered Milena's anomaly a long time ago and immediately ran over to make his girlfriend happy.
But at this moment, Leo's whole energy was on the stock market. He grinned happily, ran to Lorraine to offer his guarantee, and said: "Boss, the transaction price is higher than that of hardware."
"You've said it more than ten times, I get it." Lorraine silently mourned for Leo. The little gangster didn't know that he had offended his girlfriend, and he would suffer in the next few days.
Leo touched his head with a silly smile on his face, then took two steps back and squeezed in between Princess Lulu and Adeline.
Princess Lulu raised her hand and put her hand on Leo's waist, saying: "Go away, go away, find a place to sit by yourself."
Leo snorted and deliberately twisted his butt, forcing Princess Lulu and Adeline to avoid it.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, little rascal." Princess Lulu slapped Leo on the forehead angrily, took off her boots from the ground, sat down opposite, then widened her eyes in annoyance, and said heavily
snorted.
Leo made a face at her and said: "My director is now worth over 100 million, so I don't care about you. Bah baa baa baa..."
Princess Lulu was so angry that she turned her head away from his proud look.
Leo showed a victorious smile on his face and calculated with his fingers: "One share of hardware, five million shares is 25 million. We still have 15% of the shares, which is 15 million shares."
Issuance, multiplied by five is 75 million...
The total assets of the railway company are 500 million...
Wait, five hundred million~!"
Leo suddenly froze with his fingers pointed, his eyes dull, and he murmured: "Seventy-five million...five hundred million..."
Hearing this figure, Lorraine couldn't help but take a deep breath. The Ruman Empire's annual tax revenue is only close to 300 million, but a railway company exceeds one and a half times the Ruman Empire's tax revenue. It's too much to tell.
Shocking.
The key point is that this railway company uses funds raised from all parties and does not use any national financial allocation.
Princess Lulu felt proud in her heart. She made the decision to invest in time and got on the express train. No matter when she said it out, she, Princess Lulu, would be honored.
The higher the share price of Eagle Railway rises, the happier Princess Lulu is. This proves that Princess Lulu has unique vision and the more she can pull off those who slandered her when she goes back.
How can she call it an elopement?
She was basically serving the country and the people. It was a feat, and she should be awarded ten or eight medals or something.
"According to me, the increase is not enough." Princess Lulu said fiercely: "What's so great about just five gold? It would be best if it could be increased to ten or fifteen gold."
"Don't mention it, it's really possible." Adele tapped her graceful chin with her fingers and said, "I heard two maids discussing how to buy stocks in the garden today."
When Deipole heard this, he shrugged and said, "Don't mention it. When I went to work in the company today, everyone said they were discussing stocks, but no one was working properly. It is said that the old guy Sha Jin was trading stocks during working hours."
"Yes. People are panicking." Catherine put down her pen, rubbed her wrist, and said, "Jinsten has received the news, and everyone who wants to buy stocks has come to me.
They are all uncles I have known since childhood, and it is hard to say no."
Vera blinked her big blue eyes and secretly thought: Compared with the stock market, the city where she robbed the Dragon Ball is too childish. This is what the young master calls a clear robbery~!
Others are still vying for money. Should we also open a stock market in Longdao?
Vera lowered her head, frowned and thought seriously.
Leo was still counting on his fingers. He said: "Ten gold is 150 million, the market value is 1 billion, 15 gold is 225 million, the market value is 1.5 billion...
1.5 billion~!”
Leo was lost in thought and kept reciting the numbers. Gradually, the joyful expression on his face disappeared and became more and more solemn. In the end, his brows were knitted together and he sat blankly on the sofa, his hands still counting.
"This kid must be so happy." Princess Lulu pulled her cousin beside her and whispered.
To judge others by oneself, if the stock price can rise to ten gold, Princess Lulu will be able to wake up from her dreams with a smile, and the elves will not be able to treat her like a god when she returns home.
Leo, who was thinking hard, suddenly flattened his mouth, looked up at Lorraine, and said: "Boss..."
Then I cried "Wow".
The moment was beyond everyone's expectations.
Catherine dropped the pen in her hand and immediately ran over in a few steps. She pressed Leo's hand and said nervously: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Melina also forgot about her decision to ignore Leo for three days. She quickly walked around, took Leo's hand, and asked with concern: "Okay, why are you crying? You are talking~!"
The girls also dropped what they were doing and gathered around Leo, all talking: "What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"Wasn't it good just now?"
"That fall made me stupid."
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth."
"..."
Even Xiaobai, who was squeezed out of the crowd, moaned twice to express his concern for the boss.
Leo cried with tears in his eyes, wiped his nose, and said dejectedly: "I was planning to make a fortune and leave, but now...
It’s impossible to get it~!”
The girls looked at each other in surprise, and thought to themselves at the same time: What is the reason for this?
Lorraine was startled for a moment, then she laughed dumbly, rubbed her chin with her fingers, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Well...
Leo was saying that originally we had prepared some means to stir up the stock price and then make 20 to 30 million and leave. The Flying Eagle Railway didn't know when or what month it would be opened to traffic.
As for now..."
Lorraine shrugged and said: "The market value is over 100 million. Our Eagle Railway is seriously the largest company in the world. It can evaporate after losing one dollar or tens of millions. We can't afford to lose~!"
The girls suddenly realized that this little ruffian still cared about money.
When the market capitalization was low, if you speculated, you wouldn't feel bad if the stock price fell. Now that the market capitalization is high, if the stock price fell a little, you would feel distressed, just like cutting out flesh.
"Forget it." Leo wiped it on his face randomly, and then picked it up... picked up the clothes of the person next to him, wiped away all the tears and nose, and gritted his teeth hard.
With a serious expression on his face, he said resolutely: "In the worst case, I'll just run the business well. I'm a business wizard and a child genius, but I can't manage a railway company. I not only want to make a profit, but I also want to make a big profit."
Princess Lulu screamed, pinched the corner of her skirt, and said in panic: "Little ruffian, you... you, I just bought this the day before yesterday, I shouldn't sympathize with you, a little hooligan~!"
Cousin, cousin, look at him, he is bullying others."
The girls cheered and dispersed in an instant, staying far away from Leo. This kid was so disgusting. Melina added another day to Leo's heart and refused to speak to him for four days.
Lorraine could only try her best to comfort her unruly cousin and said: "It's okay, I'll buy you ten pieces tomorrow."
"That's what you said." Princess Lulu smiled and said, "My cousin is the best."
Lorraine glanced at Leo and thought that this guy must have done it on purpose, and it would be all on his account tomorrow.
Leo sniffed, rubbed his eyes, jumped up from the sofa, and said, "Where is the construction of the railway line from Nadel to Constantine? Damn it, I was so busy that I forgot.
I have to make a plan to speed up the progress of the project. The sooner it is opened to traffic, the more money I can make.
There is also an additional issuance plan, which cannot be used to make money. You must consider the long term and reserve enough development funds..." (To be continued!~!
