First of all, Lin Wei thought of the world financial crisis. This crisis is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lin Wei. To take advantage of the crisis, you need to have enough capital. If you can't rely on your own strength, then use the power of the Krupp family. Woolen cloth? After thinking about it, Lin Wei gave up the idea. Although the Krupp family is powerful, compared with the power of finance, it can only protect itself. If you want to profit from this crisis, you must concentrate on the Junkers. Strength, not just one of the families.
In order to convince these Junkers to come up with evidence, Lin Wei has now sent SS personnel to monitor the American financial market. Although I don't know why, the people sent out resolutely carried out the order.
In fact, this economic crisis is not without warning. This economic crisis is a serious disease caused by the condensation of various shortcomings in the US economic development for many years. Over the past year or so, due to the impact of competitors from Europe, the price of grain exports, the main source of US wealth and income, began to show a downward trend. Domestically, wages for workers have been on an upward trend. Well-paid workers have taken out loans to purchase all real estate and durable goods, including homes and cars. Although society has shown an oversupply situation, major factories in the United States are still expanding the scale of reproduction. The stock market has also been dazzled by the economic prosperity, and thousands of people are playing the game of betting on the stock market. They borrowed heavily and bought stocks like crazy, convinced that the huge profit differential between their purchases and sales would enable them to pay off their loans. With the influx of large amounts of capital, the entire stock trading market has become unprecedentedly prosperous. , in 1929, 1,548,707 people had accounts on 29 U.S. stock exchanges. Among a population of 120 million, nearly 30 million households actively participate in stock market transactions, and 1 million investors can be called speculators. Lin Wei sent people over to monitor just to get first-hand evidence so that he could convince those Junkers.
Before the crisis occurs, the public has already foreseen the outbreak of the crisis. Once the crisis breaks out and the company goes bankrupt, the money invested by investors in the company will not be recovered. Therefore, everyone is eager to cash in the stocks to prevent the loss of funds.
Everyone is selling stocks crazily, and of course the stock market cannot function normally. The reason for a bank run is the same as 1. After a company fails, the bank's loans to the company will not be recovered. When more companies fail, even the bank will collapse due to poor capital turnover, and the depositors' deposits will not be recovered. Therefore, many depositors went to the bank to withdraw money and cash it out, causing a cash run.
Because the means of production are privately owned and there is no fixed institution for regulation, companies will produce blindly in pursuit of profits. Just like in this crisis, because every enterprise pursues profits and there is no unified institution to regulate the supply and demand of social commodities in the market, enterprises blindly produce large quantities of commodities, resulting in serious overproduction, which ultimately leads to this economic crisis.
"There is still almost a year left before the financial crisis, which should be enough for me to prepare. You Americans are finished this time. I will definitely make you more miserable than ever before and sell all your underwear." Lin Wei said to himself said. "No one except me, who traveled through time, could see it so early in advance, hehe."
"Well! Should I write a letter to dad to tell him so that he can be prepared?" Lin Wei muttered to himself, "But the signs are not obvious yet, what should I do? Huh! I won't Do you believe that none of the people raised in the family have any financial talents?" Lin Wei immediately wrote a letter, writing down the SS troops he sent to monitor the U.S. stock market and his own speculations, and finally said, Although the omens are not obvious yet, I believe that the people in the family will handle this matter well.
"Raul" Linwei shouted.
"Master, what do you need from me?" the person who came in said respectfully. This person was one of the five servants who came to Munich with Lin Wei.
"Raul, I want you to go back to Essen now and give this letter to my father." Lin Wei took out the letter he had just finished writing, "Remember, be careful not to lose the letter." Lin Wei Wei warned again worriedly.
"Master, please rest assured, I will be careful. If nothing happens, I will leave now," Raul replied.
"Okay then, be careful on the road," Lin Wei said.
Late at night, Gustav Krupp was reading Lin Wei's letter from Munich in the Hugel Villa in Essen, Ruhr area. The steel and arms king couldn't hold back his hands while reading this letter. Trembling, mainly because this news is too shocking. The German economy was very unstable after the war. All major families invested their capital in the U.S. stock market. Although the German economy has improved in the past two years, in their eyes, the United States The economic system is much more stable than that of Germany, so capital has not been withdrawn. Once what is stated in the letter comes true, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Juncker consortium, which has just recovered from the war.
Ding... Gustave pressed the bell on the table, and a servant came in immediately. He stood aside and waited for Gustave to lecture, showing his good qualities.
"Is the servant who delivered the message resting now?" Gustav asked.
"Yes, sir, if anything happens, I will wake him up now."
"No, tell him to call that little brat Lampard back after he goes back," Gustave said.
"Uh! It's the master, I will definitely bring you the message."
At the Munich SS headquarters, Lin Wei was handling official duties as if no one else was around. There was another person standing next to him. This person was Raul, whom Lin Wei sent to Essen to deliver a message.
"Well... it's finally over," Lin Wei let out a sigh of relief and said, "Raul, did my father ask you to bring me something?" Lin Wei turned around and asked.
"Uh... Master, I want you to go back," Raul hesitated and replied.
"Tell me to go back." Lin Wei came over and stared at Raul and said, "There is absolutely no way my dad will talk to me so politely this time."
"Master, I..."
"Raul, you have to remember this. I hope the Krupp family's family motto will also be your code of conduct. No one likes to work with a person who loves to lie," Lin Wei said seriously.
"Master, I was wrong," Raul said with his head lowered.
"Forget it, remember this won't happen again," Lin Wei said as he picked up the phone. "Adjutant Heinz, come to my office," Lin Wei said into the phone.
After a while, a young man with a stern face came in, "Vice Captain Lampard, what do you want me to do?" Heinz said, not only his expression but also his voice were cold when talking to Lin Wei.
"Adjutant Heinz, I have to go to Essen. It may take a few days. During this time, I have to ask you to help me with my official duties. If you have any difficulties, you can ask Deputy Captain Himmler for advice." Lin Wei was already used to Heinz's attitude and did not give him any shoes because of it.
"It doesn't matter, please tell me, those things need to be reported to you," Deputy Heinz said.
Later, Lin Wei took the time to explain to Heinz the official duties of the past few days, and then rushed to Essen without stopping. When he saw the long-lost Hugel Villa, Lin Wei couldn't help but quicken his pace. To be honest, Lin Wei In the past few years in Munich, I would only go home for a few days during Christmas. Now that I think about it, I am really unfilial. After entering the gate and walking through the corridor, Lin Wei immediately came to Gustav In the study room, I knocked on the door and heard a voice saying please come in. Lin Wei opened the door and went in.
Lin Wei entered the study and saw Gustave reading, so he did not disturb him, but stood aside respectfully. I don't know how long it took, but Lin Wei's legs began to feel numb, "Hey... Dad, You have to leave me alone, the time is almost up, please speak quickly." Lin Wei had already begun to think about asking for help from the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Finally, Gustav had the intention to speak. Lin Wei just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gustav turn a page of the book, and then watched attentively. Lin Wei was tortured like this. Gustav glanced at Lin Wei secretly, thinking that it was almost done, so he said, "Lampard, what you said in your last letter is true or not. I hope you will answer me seriously."
"Of course it's the real father, how could I lie to you?" Lin Wei was serious with a hint of anxiety, thinking, "It would be bad if my father didn't believe me."
"Lampard, you have to know the importance of this news, and you must ensure the accurate source of the news," Gustave said seriously.
"Of course, father, I can guarantee the preparation of this news. I think the financial personnel in the family will conduct a careful investigation to prove what I said. After all, the signs are not obvious yet." Lin Wei's expression was also very serious.
"Lampard, my son, it seems that when you came you had already prepared your words to convince me." Gustave looked at Lin Wei and said with a smile.
"However, our family can only protect ourselves. How can we avoid those nasty French police?" Gustave said with a frown.
"Father, I am not young anymore, should I marry Linda?" Lin Wei said with a pun.
"Oh, that's right Lampard, you and Linda should indeed get married," Gustav also said with understanding.
Hahaha... Lin Wei, father and son, started laughing loudly.
"My son, you have indeed grown up, but this seems a bit unfair to Linda." After laughing, Gustave sounded helpless.
"Father, I believe Linda will forgive me. After all, I don't want our marriage to turn into a utilitarian marriage. But at this time, we have no choice. Only this reason can avoid the eyes and ears of caring people. "Ke called over." Although Lin Wei had definitely used the guise of marriage to cover up the matter, he still felt a little guilty now, "Linda, I hope you can forgive me, I have my own reasons," Lin Wei prayed silently in his heart.
