【405】Waiting anxiously(1/2)
While Gao Tianyang was 'brainwashing' Ferrimante and Miller, the Dragon Scale Army soldiers on the three ships were not idle either. They continued to clean up the suspicious survivors at the sea and even sent some small boats to drive
He went to several battleships that had not yet sunk and tried to confiscate some hot weapons that could be moved.
Although the battleships such as the Gogol are not ranked in the main battle sequence of the UK, the thermal weapons and equipment on them are still enough to satisfy the Dragon Scale Army. If they just sank into the sea like this, it would be too wasteful.
"Tsk, it won't be wasted!"
Long Hao sat alone in the cabin, sneering with his eyes closed.
He was concentrating on manipulating the dragon boat and put several sunken battleships (such as the Rudehuan) into his mouth.
As mentioned earlier, Long Hao alone fought against six battleships, consuming more than a thousand energy in total. If he didn't use the dragon boat's devouring function to supplement it, it would be a bit like losing money and making a name for himself.
There was actually not much time to supplement Long Hao. By four o'clock in the afternoon, the Town Stone began to return because there were many people looking forward to the results at the commercial port in San Francisco.
The composition of this group of people is very complicated, and the intentions in their stomachs are also varied, but now they only care about one result: Has the Earl of Beihai been caught by the Benson fleet? Did he escape successfully with the cover of a hundred cargo ships
The tracking of Benson's fleet has been six or seven hours since the morning and now, and there is no sound at all. It's so urgent!
As for the San Francisco government's early morning "Annihilation Notice", everyone ignored it...
Speaking of which, many cargo ships rushed out in the morning and brought back the news that the entire Benson fleet went to chase the Town Stone. This made many interested people wonder: Isn’t it just a pursuit? It’s been six or seven hours,
Do they still want to chase the central part of the Pacific, or to cross the Pacific and enter the Asian plate?
Just chase a small cruiser, even if you let it lead a little bit at the start, who are you?
You are the big brother’s battleship. Isn’t six or seven hours enough for you to smooth out this gap?
That's useless, right?
As for the speculation that the two sides had exchanged fire and fought for six or seven hours, they did not flash in the heads of these people who were interested: Ah? A cruiser fought six first-class battleships alone. Don't mention this kind of inferiority that makes people laugh.
It's a joke!
In addition to those who are interested, there are insiders led by Mayor Stevenson. They know that Young Master Long went to sea this time, not to escape, but to make an abacus on the complete annihilation of Benson's fleet, but after waiting for so long, a little bit
The news has not been sent back. How can they not make their palms sweat and feel anxious?
Old Stevenson stood at the front of the dock, facing the sea breeze. Looking at the fog that had not yet dissipated on the sea, he said to Lelan Stanford beside him: "I'm really worried, six battleships, Master Long actually said
To completely wipe out, it's really..."
He thought about it and swallowed the word "no knowledge of the sky and the earth". After all, things have come to this point. Cursing Long Hao has no meaning at all. He can only hope that this Chinese boy can create miracles as always!
Otherwise, my own group of people would be buried with you.
Lelan Stanford grinned and said, "Your worries are redundant. This kid has always done things that make ordinary people confused... When the result comes out, you may think he is a lunatic.
But when the results come out, you will find that you are the fool! Hahaha, if you believe in him, you will definitely be right!”
"Well. I believe him!"
Before Old Stevenson could answer, a clear voice rang behind the two. The mayor and councillor looked back and saw a half-pretty face as beautiful as a flower.
That's right, the person who spoke was the head of the Caponela family: Madame Chini! She is still covered with a tulle mask and only reveals her cherry lips, but even so, it makes people feel very amazing!
What a beauty!
Young Master Long has a good vision!
The pretty widow must taste good!
Two bad old men in politics quickly ran away in their hearts, and then said dignifiedly and politely with the attitude of receiving voters: "Mrs. Chini, are you here too? Haha, your merchant ship seems to have returned to Hong Kong safely. Congratulations
Congratulations!"
"Thank you, mayor, councillor!"
The striped maid on Chini's head trembled slightly, nodding to thank herself, and another person appeared next to her, showing a peaceful smile, but it was the old acquaintance of Old Stevenson: t.k Morgan.
"I can prove that Mrs. Chiny has a lot of confidence in the Earl. Thanks to her assistance in today's stock and securities trading, I raised the stock price of the Earl sector by a few cents than expected!" t.k Morgan
Crushing his eyes, he smiled proudly at the confused old Stevenson and Leland.
stock?
Exchange?
Raise the stock price?
The mayor and the councillor looked at each other: Today is the key day for the Earl of Beihai to decide the country in a battle. Do you still have the leisure to play stocks? I admire you, your determination is stronger than ours!
Dear readers, do you still remember Long Hao’s request for Qi Ni?
Yes, it was funded by Long Hao. As a representative of the maritime business, Chini bought a large amount of stocks in the Earl sector to show her support and confidence in Earl Beihai.
The 200,000 US dollars I spent at the beginning was just the beginning.
Next, Chini and a mysterious organization called the Black Gang issued a "prayer voucher" to the Chinese people who were most affected in Chinatown.
Prayer vouchers are free. As long as you take the prayer voucher and go to the designated location to express your willingness to join the Black Gang and pray and make a wish for the Earl's Sea, you can get a stock exchange certificate for the Earl's sector: With this certificate, you can go to Qi.
Mrs. Ni exchanged ten stocks under the Earl sector, with random types.
Ten thousand prayer coupons were issued in a day. After counting the disaster-stricken Chinese who received the prayer coupons, nearly 6,000 people went to the designated location to find out what happened.
You know, although the stock price of the Earl sector has fallen badly, there are a few dollars in ten random stocks that can be assembled!
This is free money, don’t be surprised!
(No wonder, this is all about seizing human beings' love to take advantage of their own interests. You don't know that billionaires in later generations are willing to queue up for 50 yuan vouchers to the supermarket for four hours.)
When they arrived at the designated location, the Chinese affected people found that they only needed to fill out a form and get a sign to join the Black Clothing Gang. There was no need to pay any 'entry fee'. Moreover, the enthusiastic Black Clothing Gang interpreter also said: Just show this in the future.
No one dares to charge them the gang fees such as "protection fees" and other gang fees. If there is any trouble, the Black-clothed Gang will come forward to solve it.
Is there such a good thing?
The Chinese who were affected could not believe their ears. You know, most of them were docks and hard-working stall vendors. They had to pay some money to Hongmen every month to seek protection, and now they could be exempted.
With this money, why didn’t they treat this Black Clothing Gang as a “Wanjia Biography” and coax them to fill out this “Application Form for Joining Gang”?
After filling out the form, the prayer coupon was exchanged for stock exchange vouchers. These new members of the Black Clothing Gang moved to the stock exchange point established by Mrs. Chiny.
Well, the distance there is not far. You just need to go forward and turn right and turn left and jump over a section of ruins and then insert them diagonally... Well, the straight line is 300 meters, but it takes an hour to walk.
Alas, you said I'm cheating on the number of words?
No, no, who made San Francisco bombarded these days? It destroyed many main roads by the parade thugs. It was so lucky!
In the stock exchange point, the people sent by Mrs. Chini were also very enthusiastic. They told these Chinese: You can have two options for the exchange certificates you have in your hands!
First, exchange for ten random Earl stocks, but they are not allowed to sell and cash within one month.
Second, exchange for a purchase fee of 50 cents is considered hard-earned money.
The Chinese who came over the mountains and rivers immediately stopped doing it: 50 cents, too little, right? No matter how rubbish the stock price of the Earl sector is worth a few dollars. Isn’t this disguised exploitation?
So, these Chinese people who have tasted the sweetness of raiding houses (although the great benefits were taken away by the Dragon Scale Party), protested on the spot, and some even wanted to overturn the table and take the opportunity to force the US dollar bills... Fortunately, a team of Dragon Scale Army was in time
The ground emerged, taking away those who were intending to cause trouble, and then calmed down the whole scene.
The dispatched personnel stammered and explained according to Chini's explanation: The best way to support Earl North Sea is to buy stocks in the Earl sector and hold them for a long time. Those who only want to cash in on stocks are of course only worthy of 50 cents.
!
After hearing this sentence, the Chinese people were full of shame: Oh, so that's how they support it, then okay, the stocks are free anyway, we can hold them for a month only, I believe how they will fall in a month.
, not only 50 cents!
Of course, there are also some people who are not optimistic about the Earl of Beihai and choose to exchange 50 cents...
After a while of busyness, all the stock exchange coupons were recycled by Chini's dispatched personnel. Then, Madame Chini Carbonella appeared and said to the group of 'new stock investors' with about 5,000 people: "...
I am very optimistic about the future trend of the Earl sector. On behalf of the Caponela family and the Portuguese maritime merchants, I solemnly announced that in the next month, no matter who you buy the Earl sector, you can get 50% of the stocks from me.
The original price compensation is also considered to be my support for the Earl of North Sea!”
The original price compensation means buying stocks at half price. Not to mention, there are really many new investors with 5,000 people.
However, when Long Hao agreed to go to the Gogol for investigation on June 3, these new stock investors cried: The Earl of Beihai is going to be captured, so his stock is worth a big p! It would be better if he had known it.
I took 50 cents to eat a bowl of pig intestine and was free and easy!
As soon as the market opened on June 4, the Townstone broke away from the interception of the Benson fleet and 'escape' to the sea' had already been sent back to San Francisco. These new investors gathered inside and outside the San Francisco exchange, staring at the big blackboard.
The stock price was anxiously waiting for news whether the Earl of North Sea would be "escape" or "arresisted".
The transactions on this day were very dull. Due to the intentional blockade, the news that Long Hao went to sea to fight Benson had not yet reached the eastern United States, so the Earl sector still fell by inertia at the beginning.
However, at noon, t.k Morgan and Mrs. Chiny took action separately, began to sweep the goods and raise the stock price. Among them, t.k Morgan's biggest move was, after spending $30 million in the previous time, this time, he made people feel like he was the only one who could not help but make money.
It was shockingly spent $36 million, and it just increased the Earl's sector by 120% in an hour (because the price was too low, it actually only raised a few dollars)!
Although the price was suppressed by DuPont and other consortiums. It only rose by more than one yuan throughout the day, but this move really attracted many Chinese people to buy stocks. Although the total amount was not large, it at least represented the crowd.
Confidence in Longhao!
It's been six or seven hours, and if I were caught, I should have come back long ago. Earl of Beihai must have escaped successfully!
The Chinese who raised the bets and bought stocks in the Earl sector think so.
After listening to the simple narrative of t.k Morgan, Old Stevenson opened his mouth. Before he could speak, the little Stevenson next to him who was unknown to the truth was already surprised and shouted: "Mr. Morgan, you are too bold, this is Hao,
To be continued...
