The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

When Freddie Pavitt told Zhao Chuanxin the cause and effect in a stammering tone.

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked: Hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and install new equipment, all wasted?

With this money, he can buy weapons and equip a new backwater army and a new God of War team.

His charity can win countless hearts.

But now his mother is in vain.

Freddie Pavitt said timidly: Sorry, sir, Sheriff Maher said this was requested by Mayor John Vaughn of North Tarrytown. He emphasized that along the Hudson River in North Tarrytown , no factory shall be established.”

In fact, the amount of money spent was relatively large, which made him feel guilty.

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth: Tell me again, what is the name of that bitch from the mayor?

Sir, his name is John Vaughan.

Okay, I'll visit him later.

Jesse Livermore and Freddy Pavitt stopped him at the same time: No!

Both of them basically knew how Zhao Chuanxin would visit the mayor.

Basically, after the visit, the mayor is useless.

Freddy Pavitt opposed it because he didn't want to involve other industries. It would be no good for anyone if it made a big fuss.

Jesse Livermore objected because of the ensuing economic crisis. This was an opportunity for him to turn around and he could not afford to miss it.

The two people's obstruction also reminded Zhao Chuanxin and reminded him of what Li Guangzong said to him before.

I Cao...it turns out that the more industries there are, the more constraints there are.

Zhao Chuanxin suppressed his irritated emotions and asked in a deep voice: Why does it have to rely on the Hudson River? Can't the factory be relocated?

Being out of the Hudson River, our turbine generators couldn't work, Freddy Pavitt explained.

Internal combustion engines definitely won’t work, due to technical limitations and material limitations.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: Can't a steam engine drive a turbine generator?

This... costs too much, and the mayor won't agree to it.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the British butler and sneered: You messed up the matter, don't you have no idea at all? Tell me, what do you think is a feasible solution?

Freddie Pavitt said: The mayor did not hesitate to injure the enemy eight hundred and himself a thousand, and relied on cutting off his own wings to hinder our development. I think this must be caused by someone at a higher level.

After all, this is a large-scale factory closure, and the financial loss to North Tarrytown is not small.

Without support, who will pay for the loss?

Freddy Pavitt didn't understand it before, but today he learned that Frank Gale was sent by the mayor to monitor him, and he realized that maybe all this was aimed at Ethan Manor and Zhao Chuanxin.

Go on.

Freddie Pavitt said: Master, there is only one way left. We can find an agent, secretly go to another location, go in the name of livestock or agriculture, and build a factory on the way. According to the strategy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, This is called repairing the plank road openly and secretly visiting Chencang.

Oh, we have Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks in Yisen Manor now, right? Zhao Chuanxin asked again: Then where is this place? Don't tell me, and let me go to the west again.

That's not necessary. Freddy Pavitt said as lightning flashed in his mind, and he had an idea in an instant: It's right in our West End, on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 30 kilometers from North Tarrytown. Not far away, there is a place called Kurdex that is very suitable, where you can build a water wheel to generate electricity and graze cattle.

He really wanted to give himself a thumbs up for his wit.

Some time ago, he went there to relax because he was under great pressure, and happened to memorize the terrain.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with a satisfied expression: Yes, it's not in vain that I spend three times the salary of an ordinary British butler to support him.

Freddy Pavitt's back straightened out again.

The oppressive atmosphere just now also made Jesse Livermore a little breathless.

He was very surprised. Not long after the last time he saw Zhao Chuanxin, how did Zhao Chuanxin's power increase to such an extent?

The domineering aura radiated out, like the weight of Mount Tai, and he felt the same way.

However,

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly asked: By the way, I asked you to pay three times the design fee to invite John Browning. How about it?

Freddy Pavitt broke into a cold sweat again.

He doesn't want to.

Be specific.

He said that the master is just fanciful. It is absolutely impossible for that kind of weapon to appear. No one can do it.

Zhao Chuanxin was really angry.

Originally, he thought that as long as he came to New York, everything would fall into place.

When it comes to clinker, there is nothing to worry about.

Is Browning, the famous small arms design expert of later generations, so disrespectful?

And she even trolled him for his whims, little troll, don’t sleep too much at night!

Are you fucking kidding me? Zhao Chuanxin said angrily: Without that old boy designing weapons, what kind of guns would we make if we built a weapons workshop?

Freddie Pavitt couldn't fart.

Seeing that he only refused and did not dare to breathe, Zhao Chuanxin's enthusiasm waned.

He waved his hand: Get out of here, everyone. I want to have a good sleep and clear my mind. Maybe I will have an idea.

Jesse Livermore was unwilling to just leave. He asked: Mr. Zhao, what about our plan...

You go to recruit people first, and you will be solely responsible for the layout. For the specific direction, follow my instructions.

Mr. Zhao, although there are many people who are shorting United Copper, judging from the overall momentum, the development of the copper industry is still very promising. If things do not develop as you said, then by October, we may Those who lose money go to the streets to beg for food.”

Although Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have a perfect plan last time, this time he played a bigger game.

Zhao Chuanxin knew the fuse and context of this crisis.

If you really lose it, you can go back to your old business and just go to every bank to withdraw money and earn some hard money.

But if it succeeds, it will affect the layout of the next few decades.

While sailing on the ship, Zhao Chuanxin seriously considered his plan to make money.

He wants to turn the money he earned this time into gold and gold, and he will continue to lay golden eggs for him in the future.

He said: Do as I say. Just pay close attention to the movements of 'Ice King' Charles Morse and 'Bronze King' Fritz Heinze while you are laying out your plans.

Before Freddy Pavitt arrived, Zhao Chuanxian had already explained the details to Jesse Livermore.

But in Jesse Livermore's opinion, this is really like divination. Except for Zhao Chuanxin, he has never seen anyone else have the ability to truly predict the future.

Hesitation is inevitable.

Jesse Livermore licked his chapped lips. He was cruel and decided to give up and take a gamble with Zhao Chuanxin!

When he walked to the door, Zhao Chuanxin remembered something and stopped him: By the way, transfer our money from the bank first, especially the National Bank of North America, National Bank of New Amsterdam, Bank of Montana and Commerce Bank of America.”

Why is this? Jesse Livermore, who had already reached the office door, was surprised.

You can check out the relationship between ice-making king Charles Morse and these banks and you will understand.

Freddie Pavitt couldn't hold it back and asked: Master, what did you say to him?

The Copper King, the Ice King, and the major New York banks all sound very high-end.

How do you understand after telling me? Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand to drive him away: Gungungun, I'm going to sleep.

Freddie Pavitt was demure.

And Jesse Livermore left with a heavy heart.

He rode out of the gate in a carriage from the manor.

Unexpectedly, he discovered the sneaky private detective Frank Gale not far away.

When Frank Gale saw him, he was not afraid, but just smiled awkwardly.

He is now semi-blatantly monitoring Ethan Manor.

After all, he has reached an agreement with Zhao Chuanxin, and he can act as a double agent uprightly.

Jesse Livermore ignored him.

Back to New York, Wall Street.

Jesse Livermore immediately found a friend in Thomas W. Lawson.

This man is a financial columnist and a Wall Street know-it-all who once made a fortune working with Zhao Chuanxin.

Brother, use your connections to help me find out about the relationship between ice-making king Charles Morse and several banks...

He gave Thomas W. Lawson the names of several banks.

As a result, Thomas W. Lawson laughed and said: Why do you need to ask? Have you forgotten what I do?

you know?

Of course, my friend. Charles Morse, now he is a big brother on Wall Street. I write articles, and the topic is naturally inseparable from him.

Jesse Livermore's curiosity tortured him and he quickly asked: Tell me, what is their relationship with these banks?

The National Bank of North America and the National Bank of New Amsterdam are two banks directly controlled by Charles Morse. As for the other two banks, they have little to do with him. However, the copper king Fritz Heinze is the American commercial bank. The bank is knowledgeable. As for the Bank of Montana, it is the main business correspondent of the American Commercial Bank...

As expected of a know-it-all, he explained the secrets here clearly.

Jesse Livermore is in high spirits!

I am Cao!

These relationships are entangled and complicated, and it may take a few sentences to describe them, but it is not easy to clarify the inside story.

When Thomas W. Lawson finished speaking, Jesse Livermore felt a sudden realization.

Farke, Farke, Farke! He used three Chinese quintessences in a row to express his inner excitement.

After understanding these relationships, he only needs to pay close attention to these people.

As long as these people behave as Zhao Chuanxin said, Jesse Livermore can be sure that what will happen in three months will definitely happen.

Mr. Zhao, amazing!

Thomas W. Lawson is also a human spirit, and you can tell there is something going on at a glance.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, Tell me, is something going to happen again? Could it be that Mr. Zhao has returned to New York?

Jesse Livermore looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so smart.

Seeing Jesse Livermore not answering directly, Thomas W. Lawson already had the answer in his heart.

His eyes lit up: Don't forget each other if you want to be rich! This time when you get rich, you should also bring your old friends with you!

…

After Zhao Chuanxin sent Jesse Livermore away, he went back to the bedroom and had a good sleep.

I slept until night and got up with sleepy eyes.

He came outside the room and saw Freddie Pavitt standing by the door.

You scared me. Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his eyes and said angrily. Are you installing telephone poles here?

... Freddy Pavitt said with a sneer: Master, I will wait for you to wake up and ask you to go down to eat. Everyone is waiting for you to start eating.

Zhao Chuanxin yawned greatly: Let's go then.

After waiting, sure enough, Li Shutong, Liu Yuanshan, Ning An, and Mahina were all sitting awkwardly in the guest seats.

There were plates and knives and forks in front of me.

Zhao Chuanxin was displeased: I say Freddy, you are really incompetent as a housekeeper. Look at the people at this table, how many of them know how to use knives and forks? Change chopsticks!

Freddie Pavitt was stunned. This was due to his negligence.

But Miao Cuihua walked into the restaurant with a pair of chopsticks: I brought the chopsticks.

Freddy Pavitt: “…”

I feel like my status is -1.

Just as he was about to say something and regain his place at Miao Cuihua's place, he saw a maid hurriedly come in and said, Mr. Pavitt, that Benjamin Goldberg is here again...
