"Boss, this is the person you want." Lying on the grass, Li Zitao turned his head and looked at the person brought by the monk. He had a thin body, a tall nose, thin cheeks, and a pair of eyes that turned inward.

The deep-set eyes reveal wisdom, cunning and... calmness??

"Introduce yourself!" Li Zitao said kindly as he sat up against the tree.

"Dear Sir, my name is Shlomo Ben Itzkic, I am a Spanish Jew, I am from Wall Street Morgan JP Morgan..."

Don't be surprised. As early as the Civil War, J.P. Morgan was already a rising star on Wall Street. After making a war fortune, Morgan's business began to involve railroads, steel, gold and treasury bond issuance, and his performance was straight.

rise.

The subsequent battle gave the entire Morgan family a pair of wings and soared into the sky. Now, Morgan has become one of the eight largest consortiums in the United States. The total assets of the banks and large companies it controls account for more than 50% of the eight major consortiums in the United States.

.

"Jp. Morgan?" Li Zitao looked at the monk with some surprise. He just wanted to buy some stocks, so why did he attract such a big crocodile?

Although he didn't know much about Morgan in his previous life, Li Zitao has been supplementing his knowledge during this period, and of course he knows how brilliant Morgan is now.

The world's creditors, the Morgan Consortium, one of the eight major financial groups, are the absolute capital giants.

"Don't be surprised, Mr. Li, for Morgan, every customer is our precious wealth. Moreover, the company is very optimistic about your future." Ben showed a manager's professional smile, but in his heart he sighed at Li Zitao's youth.

A 17-year-old young man has attracted the attention of the company's management. Thinking of this, Shlomo Ben Itskiqi's heart was filled with envy.

From the old Morgan era to J.P. Morgan, there has been a special investment, talent investment.

Just like at the hearing before J.P. Morgan was split up, Morgan Jr. said, "Even if a homeless man comes to me, without any mortgage, I will open a $1 million dollar bill."

Give him the check as long as I approve it."

Of course, the current Li Zitao is far from capable of attracting the attention of Morgan Jr., but some executives have noticed this Chinese teenager who has stirred up the Chicago scene.

"Let's talk business." Although he didn't know this clearly, Li Zitao had no intention of rejecting the other party.

Now he is nothing to Morgan. Li Zitao is not afraid of what the other party wants from him.

As for the $150,000? Don’t be ridiculous. If Morgan had to resort to some tricks for this little money, the Morgan consortium would have collapsed long ago.

If you are not afraid of being used by others, you are just afraid that you will be useless.

When you start to be useful, it means that you are moving towards success. The sad thing is not that you are used by others, but that no one cares about your existence at all.

Just like Li Zitao in his previous life, he always complained that "the whole world is targeting me," until one day on the forum, someone said something to him, and he never mentioned it again.

"The world is not targeting you, because the world doesn't need you at all." Just such a sentence made Li Zitao suffer 10,000 points of real damage, which was always heartbreaking.

"I have 150,000 U.S. dollars and want to make short-term investments. The deadline is...early September. Ben, do you have any recommendations?" Li Zitao didn't know any famous stocks during this period, but he was not worried because in 1929

Before September, even a pig could make a lot of money as long as he had money invested in the stock market.

Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is not far from reality. In the era of stock trading that is popular among the people, the theme of every day's commute is 'How much has the stock you bought increased?'

From March to October 1929, the American stock market was like a huge wave, one wave higher than the other, driving countless people crazy.

Li Zitao remembered that the signs before the Great Depression started when the central bank of Country Y announced the bankruptcy of a company. He had forgotten the specific name.

Because of this, he will find professional managers to take care of and manage his future plans, otherwise he, a financial idiot, will definitely lose money by selling his pants.

"I recommend holding copper, aviation, and in fact the best ones are giants such as steel and General Motors. But the current stock price is too high. For the money in our hands, it is not cost-effective to buy it, although the Federal Reserve is restraining the stock price from being too high.

, but the American people’s confidence in the stock market has not been dispelled..." This nagging analyst immediately changed the title from 'you' to 'us.'

Citibank just announced 2 months ago that it would allocate US$20 million for loans and lower the current interest rate, completely shattering the Federal Reserve's new policy.

The stock market has begun to rise again. Although the decline is uncertain, there are many areas for manipulation. According to Ben, 'We can make a lot of money in the stock market.'

All right!

He is right, Li Zitao just wants to make a fortune in the stock market.

But everything he did was waiting for Black Tuesday, the stock market crash that would plunge the United States into the Great Depression for the next ten years.

Between September and December 1929, Li Zitao remembered this approximate time period, but if he wanted to profit from short selling, he needed to make some preparations in advance.

And for this wealth feast, his capital is still too weak.

With 150,000 U.S. dollars, a small fluctuation may cause him to lose all his money. Of course, Li Zitao doesn't want to see that day come.

It must be known that getting this amount of money was definitely a surprise for him. Li Zitao found it very difficult to get such a huge amount of funds.

Even if according to his plan, he will successfully take over Capone's territory and career.

A large amount of the Capone Group's funds are in circulation, and all the profits are in Capone's private account. The IRS is keeping a close eye on the money, and it is impossible for him to get it.

Even if he could get it, Li Zitao had no intention of touching it, which would get him into trouble and even be classified as a Capone associate in the minds of some people.

This is a poor definition, especially since Capone was isolated from the world.

With popular resistance, federal investigations, and allies adding insult to injury, Capone is now a piece of stinking shit, and everyone wants to stay away from him.

"I think you have brought the contract." Li Zitao took out the pen from his pocket.

The Montblanc Meisterstuck series, a classic that has lasted for hundreds of years, will be called the 'Meisterstuck' series in the future. To be precise, it should be the 'Masterpiece' series.

The name Taipan is an inherent translation of Hong Kong and Taiwan. At first, only Taipans in foreign commercial banks could afford to use it, so it was called the ‘Taipan series.’

A good fountain pen can better demonstrate your identity and reflect the low-key gentleman's style. In Chinese, it is, 'Invisible pretense is the most deadly.'

After briefly reading the contract, Li Zitao happily signed his name. This performance made Ben's eyes brighten again.

He thought that the other party would find a lawyer, study the contract in detail, and then consider signing it. He didn't expect that Li Zitao would be so neat and tidy.

150,000 U.S. dollars, if compared to ordinary people, even if he represents J.P. Morgan, the other party will worry about gains and losses, wondering if there are any problems here!

You must know that in the United States, it is not unheard of for managers who use the name of a large investment bank to defraud investors' funds through contracts.

In any case, his generosity and straightforwardness won Ben's favor. Of course, Li Zitao could not help but be labeled "bold" in his heart.

In fact, Li Zitao's considerations were not as complicated as he thought. Compared to the contract, he believed in the gun in his hand more.

If Ben wanted to do tricks in it, he was sure that even 100 of them would not be able to outsmart these professional managers.

But as long as the other party dares to cheat his money, he will be very confident in the future and let me spit out his money obediently, even if the person behind him is JP Morgan.

Dealing with these big conglomerates is sometimes easier than the gangsters selling drugs on the street, because they pay more attention to their reputation and dignity.

After giving away Ben He's only check of 150,000 U.S. dollars, Li Zitao couldn't help but feel a little painful. He became a pauper again.

"Paul must be dealt with quickly. He took too long to think about it." It had been two days since the last meeting, and Li Zitao couldn't wait to see him again.

But for Paul Ricca, he absolutely did not want to see Li Zitao again, and it was best to disappear in front of him forever.

It’s just that for certain things, the more you don’t want them to happen, the more they will happen.

Late at night, Paolo Rica's suburban villa.

Having just finished a fierce fight with his mistress, Paul went downstairs in silk pajamas, poured himself a glass of brandy, and stood in front of the window admiring the night view outside.

"Paul, can you give me a drink?" The sudden voice frightened Paul's arms and he almost threw the glass away.

Looking back at the figure sitting in the corner, shaking an empty wine glass, Paul's expression immediately darkened.

Forcing a smile, Paul took out a bottle of wine from the wine rack and walked over, "The most authentic French brandy, just shipped from the sea last month."

"Thank you." Li Zitao shook the glass, took a sip, and said with a frown, "Maybe you should try the white wine from China. The taste is really too..."

Although Li Zitao did not finish his evaluation, Paul could also tell that he did not appreciate the bottle of brandy he had collected.

Cursing in his mind, 'bumpkin,' Paul Rica sat across from him, and the room fell into silence again.

Paolo Ricca had been waiting for him to speak, wanting to strive for greater benefits for himself, but Li Zitao was like a visiting friend, admiring the furnishings in the room with relish, the white dining table, and the oak-carved wine cabinet.

Hand-knitted high-end carpets can arouse his admiration.

"Okay! You win." He drank the wine in the glass with some abandonment. Paul Rica rubbed his cheeks, squeezed out a smile and said: "Tell me about your plan."

"Kill a group of people, suppress a group of people, win over a group of people." Plan, Li Zitao had a sneaky plan, he was not a person who used his brains.

But in his previous life, he lived in the era of the Internet explosion, and he still understood some simple principles.

During the time when Capone was invisible, Frank, McGurn, Paul, and Joe all worked together to run the Capone Group in Chicago.

At the same time, Capone's relatives and friends in Cicero controlled this huge violent group remotely and reported to Capone at any time.

Now that Capone is in trouble, it is more difficult to get out of prison than it is for Li Zitao to swallow his violent group.

And Cicero had the help of William Dever. As long as those relatives and friends who benefited from Capone dared to come out, they would immediately be surrounded by countless troubles.
