Chapter 69 The Rubber Crisis 4

As time approaches October, the weather is gradually getting cooler, people are also putting on autumn clothes, and the recently lively topic of constitutionalism has begun to cool down.

Zhang Agou is also not what it used to be. Anyone who sees him on the street now calls him "Brother Dog" and "Master Dog". Now even Cai Asi, a prominent person on the street, calls him Brother Zhang. Recently, he has become obsessed with the name 'Mr. Zhang', and as soon as he hears it, he knows that he is a gentleman.

"Mr. Zhang, eat a bowl of Chaos." Uncle Hu, who was still selling Chaos, called out now.

"No, I still have something to do with you." Zhang Agou, who was also wearing a foreigner's suit, declined Uncle Hu's invitation.

"Uncle Hu, I'm going to move out, and you can't keep your stocks. Tell the neighbors that you can sell them when you see what's right." Seeing that Uncle Hu wanted to say something else, Zhang Agou continued to say his own. Intend.

"Ah, Agou, you want to move out." Uncle Hu couldn't even bother to call out Mr. Zhang, and said quickly in surprise. After hearing the conversation between Uncle Hu and Zhang Agou, the surrounding neighbors gathered around to persuade Zhang Agou.

"Mr. Zhang, if you move out, we will have a hard time."

"Don't move, brother dog."

"Brother Agou, it will be difficult for us if you move away."

There is a reason why the neighbors are so enthusiastic about retaining them. After Uncle Hu bought Willis shares and received the first dividend, everyone in the neighborhood also raised money and entrusted Zhang Agou to buy six shares to earn dividends together. After the Willis stock could not be bought in Shanghai, someone came up with the idea of ​​​​the stock in the hands of these ordinary people, and bought it at a high price of 90 taels. Neighbors are of course reluctant to sell. Everyone knows that Willis stock will have hundreds of momentum.

As a result, after being found out by a group of local hooligans, they planned to use force to squeeze these stocks from the neighbors, but it was Zhang Agou who came forward and called Cai Asi to fail them. Now that Zhang Agou is planning to move out, whoever protects them, who are powerless and powerless, probably won't be able to lose the stocks in their hands.

Hearing the neighbors' persuasion, Zhang Agou also had a headache.

"Okay, stop arguing."

After hearing Zhang Agou's roar, the neighbors who came up all quieted down and watched Zhang Agou waiting for his speech.

"I bought a house in the concession, and now I don't move there, do you want my new house to feed the mice? I will come back to see you when I have time. Now the stock is about to earn a little bit, and I can't take care of you all my life. Everyone leave."

After Zhang Agou finished speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd and left. After seeing Zhang Agou leaving, the rest of the people knew that there was nothing they could do. sold.

Zhang Agou thought about his new house and was happy in his heart. It cost him nearly 1,000 taels of silver on the first floor and two floors of a small western-style building. If he didn't live there, he really planned to take root in this dilapidated place.

Zhang Agou, who was thinking about the new house, walked to the Willis Building and looked at the crowd around the door who wanted to buy stocks, and secretly despised it in his heart. I want to make money but I'm afraid of taking risks, and now I want to buy the shares of Yangxing, it's just a dream. After some contempt in his heart, Zhang Agou walked into the Yangxing Building.

"Assistant Zhang, early." After entering the door, some staff greeted Zhang Agou one after another.

"Morning." Zhang Agou also responded with a smile to these people now.

Just a month ago, in recognition of his errands, Stry gave Zhang Agou the title of assistant and gave him an office. This made him overjoyed, and now what he likes most is that these employees call him "Assistant Zhang".

Zhang Agou, who walked into his office today, took a small sip after smelling the tea aroma after brewing a good cup of tea. "It's a good tea, as expected of Longjing before the rain."

Zhang Agou secretly praised in his heart. This is a businessman who wants to buy stocks, and it is specially given to him for help. In fact, Zhang Agou doesn't understand tea at all, but it doesn't prevent him from pretending to be a literati.

The whole knock on the door disturbed Zhang Agou's humanistic mentality.

After sitting on the office chair, Zhang Agou said. "Come in."

"Officer Zhang, Mr. Stry asked you to come over," an employee said to him after he came in.

"Okay, go right away." Hearing his boss's call, Zhang Agou couldn't care about pretending to be gentle, and immediately stood up and walked all the way to Stry's office.

"What's the boss's order?"

Stry, who was busy in the office, looked up at Zhang Agou who nodded and bowed. "Go and give me this to the newspaper." After speaking, he took out a note and handed it to Zhang Agou.

"Okay boss, I'll do it right away." After getting the note given by Stry, Zhang Agou took a rickshaw to Shanghai New News and gave his boss to the president of the new newspaper, Bolke . "I see, you can go back."

The next day, on the headlines of the Shanghai Xinbao, it was published that Willis Rubber Company planned to invite a group of people who bought shares of its own company to go sightseeing in the Nanyang Rubber Plantation. As soon as this news was released, the public recognized Willis Company even more, and its stock price directly broke through the 100-two mark. Instead, Uncle Hu and his neighbors made a fortune.

"The news from Stree is really great. Are we starting to release our stocks now?" Stocker asked Stry.

"Don't be busy and let it go. Today Kerry Road from Huitong sent me an invitation to attend a dinner party organized by them. I agreed." Stry told him

"It seems that they want to come in too." Stocker told Stry his own understanding.

"I think so. But it's good, more people can participate in this speculation, and we can make more money." Stry said his plan.

"It's good to try it out." Stocker agreed.

At 7:00 p.m. in the Anglo-American Club, a group of European and American businessmen were attending this dinner hosted by Kerry Road. A group of people chatted and drank in their own small circles, and there was laughter from time to time, making the whole dinner party so lively.

"Mr. Stry is here." The voice of the announcement came from the door, making these people stand up. Everyone wants to see what the most famous person in Shanghai, Mr. Stry from Willis Rubber Company looks like. Stry lived up to expectations and walked in wearing a British evening dress. His handsome appearance, slender figure, and a polite demeanor made many girls intoxicated.

"Mr. Stry, it's an honor to have you here." Kerry Road, who hosted the party, stepped forward and shook hands with Stry with a warm expression. "You must know that you are the focus of many people's discussions now. Now half of the people at the party are attending to get to know you."

After hearing Carrie Dao's words, Stry replied with his well-trained noble etiquette. "It's my honor. I'm very grateful to Mr. Carrie Road for the invitation. I also thank everyone for their warm expectations." After speaking, Stry saluted the people around him, and his behavior attracted applause.

"Tonight you are more popular than me." Looking at the performance of the young man in front of him, Kerry Dao jokingly laughed.

After arriving at the dinner venue, Stry immediately became the focus of everyone. Some introduced themselves, some attracted investment, and some hoped to become a shareholder in Willis, but most of them were asking him if he had a fiancée. In front of all kinds of people who asked, Stry answered their questions with reason.

After sending another young lady who asked if she had a fiancée, Kerry Road stepped forward and asked. "Mr. Stry, do you need a break?"

Stry, who knew that the show was coming, replied. "Just a little tired, do you have a room for me to rest?"

"Of course, please come with me."

The two walked to a relatively remote room on the second floor, and Kerry Road opened the door and said. "Inside please." After Stry entered the door, he found that there were several people sitting in this room.

"Let me introduce you." Kerry Road guided Stry and introduced him to the people in the room.

"This is my partner, Mr. Wei Tui." Kerry Dao pointed to a slightly fat middle-aged man in his forties.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wetui." Stry said after stepping up to shake hands with Wetui.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Stry."

After introducing its partners, Kerry Road continued to introduce to Stree, Dao Hua Yang Hong Liside, Jardine Matheson's Chabil, Teck Hua Yang Hong Boorman and so on. At the end, Kerry Road introduced him. "This is Langley's wheat side."

"Nice to meet you." Looking at the rubber advocate next to him in front of him, Stry shook his hand with a smile on his face.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Stry." Seeing Stry who cut himself off, Maibian also responded with a smile.

After seeing that they knew each other, Kerry Road first stood up and talked about it. "Everyone sits together this time, and everyone knows what it is for."

"I know, it's all for rubber." Facing Kerry Road's question, everyone answered.

"Well, I won't talk nonsense anymore. The hype of rubber prices this time is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. Among them, Mr. Stry played a major role. Now we need to advance and retreat together, so that everyone can achieve Harvest." Jiali Dao asked Stry after he finished speaking. "Do you think I'm right? Mr. Stry."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Stry knew that the group of people in front of him had discussed it, and he could only speak. "Yes, I think so too."

After hearing Stry's reply, Carrie Road continued. "We need to continue to advocate the usefulness of rubber, and we need to establish more rubber companies to issue stocks, so that Qing people's enthusiasm for buying rubber stocks can be released." After hearing Kerry Road's words, Stry finally knew why he called Come by himself, if more rubber companies issue stocks, then the one who will have the greatest impact is himself, and Stry thinks he can't be silent anymore.

"What is your intended compensation for my participation in this operation."

Facing Stry's question, Kerry Road replied. "We will cooperate fully and drive up your stock price, which is good for everyone."

After hearing Kerry Road's words, Stry thought to himself, and after some calculations, Stry agreed to their request.

After attending the dinner, Stry returned to the company and told his companions about the break.

"We did a good job, they just got involved." Felix said with a dissatisfied face when he heard the news.

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, if they come to disrupt the situation, it's hard for us to do it," Stry explained to him.

"Our main purpose is to seek stability and not to have too many twists and turns. However, with the help of these local snakes, it can also make us safer to earn the money we need." Stocker expressed his opinion.

"Actually, I think so too, after all, safety is the most important thing," Stry replied.

In the days that followed, they saw the help of the local snakes. With their help, Willis' stock gradually rose from a price of one hundred taels to three hundred taels in three months.

This made the three people feel that it was worthwhile to join them, but in the face of the rubber market in Shanghai, more people could not sit still, and a large number of local banks also joined the hype, and the rubber price was also raised to six taels per pound at the end of the year. A high price for a penny. Shanghai is caught in a frenzy of stock speculation, and now everyone is crazy about rubber stocks.
