1890 King of Southeast Asia

"This business could not be done. Within three months, international edible sugar rose 20%and grain rose 11%. Many orders for us were facing losses." Old Tom sat in a chair.

"Volume Tom, don't make it out of hand. This is London, the center of the world." Tom's colleague Jorik sat opposite him, his face was rosy.

"As long as the market fluctuates, we can earn money, but it is just a loss of several orders. To purchase from the colonies, you can clean the price and lower the price."

Jorik squeezed a white sugar futures in this fluctuation, and he has made a fierce ear, and he is in a good mood.

"I'm not worried about this, as you said, even if you lose money, we only need to transfer the loss to India or Africa."

"I'm worried that this market fluctuations are extremely abnormal. It seems that someone is absorbing domestication, but so long fluctuations should not have no news." Tom covered his face, and he was inadequate.

They belong to the staff of the same exchange. The difference is that Jorik only does capital operation, and Tom involves specific transactions.

For example, in the futures market, Tom will not only operate options, but also formally contact buyers to sell the specific goods purchased at low prices.

In the past ten years, Tom has made a lot of money in specific cargo transactions, and he has also leased a warehouse at the pier to temporarily stack the goods.

Jorik is not, he will only perform capital operations in the futures market and make a profit in fluctuations.

"There is only one possibility. The buyer is not bad, the power is huge, and the news can be suppressed." Yurik went to the office document.

"Don't say, I made an appointment to drink together at noon? I haven't been to Lao John for a week, I have begun to look forward to the cod he made ..."

Looking at the background of Jerica's departure, Tom took a deep breath.

"Well!" He patted the table fiercely, turned, and Tom ran to the phone.

"Spencer, my Tom, listen, now go to the house and sell everything in the warehouse."

"I know, I know that the price is very low now, but the warehouse is about to expire. Our business is temporarily stopped. I have a hunch."

"Yes, I think the market fluctuations are premeditated, yes, all throw it out, and gather funds."

"What? Old George is willing to swallow all the goods at 80%..." Tom hesitated.

"Pat, do you have any news? Regarding import and export trade." Tom thought about it and asked an acquaintance in the public relations department.

"News? The trading department has lowered the tariffs on some leather products. That's it. Others. Oh! India has a large number of cowhide, which may be that big man." Pat shrugged.

Although it did not say, Tom still understood, someone bought a batch of cowhide, and then the tariffs against the leather were lowered.

If you say nothing, Tom does not believe it.

After hesitating for a while, Tom then said to the phone:

"Sell to him! Spencer, there was a group of Indian cowhide. If you don't sell it, we have to fight the price with Indian leather."

Tom hung up the phone, took out a cigarette, walked to the door and squatted, and pumped it silently.

"Tom, what are you doing here?" Yurik stinky, stretched out his head from the window, watching Tom, who smoked smoke by the road.

"Nothing, I think it is a bit stuffy." Tom spit out his cigarette.

His business added leverage. A lot of losses this time, coupled with the losses in the sugar trade, are equivalent to two years of hard work. He couldn't figure out for a while.

"I heard that you still have a batch of Turkish leather. Can you divide me? Don't eat alone. In return, there is a sugar order, and I can't eat it alone." Jorik said with a smile.

"What?" Tom asked in surprise.

"Oh! By the way! You don't know yet, the evil Ottoman Turks have a shameful betrayal of the British Empire and put into the arms of the Germans."

"The Imperial Navy is going to sanction the Ottomans, and is actively contacting allies to embarked on the Ottomans."

"However, the only Evil is the Otman, excluding their goods ..."

Tom couldn't hear what Rick said, his face was white and red, red and purple, and his eyes were bumpy.

"Old George! Old George!" Tom gritted his teeth, and then fainted.

"Tom? Tom! Come and send him to the hospital ..."

"According to the statistics of the Empire Commercial Department, the sugar transported by South China this year has decreased by 12%."

"Southeast Asia, as the largest export area of ​​sugar, directly affects the market fluctuations of the entire world."

"We have reason to doubt that this is a price increase in South China's self -directed and self -directed and self -directed and self -directed and self -directed position. The purpose is to rely on his output to achieve the monopoly position of the international market."

"Sir, we can't sit still ..."

Winston shouted passionately, shouting, hoping to be supported and squeezing and suppressing South China.

"Mr. Winston, where did your 12%data come from?"

"Let's believe that the South China Empire is manipulating the price of sugar, but this will not have too much impact on us. It is nothing more than eating less."

As soon as his words came out, he appeared in an endless opposition for me, reasons.

"Gentlemen, don't you think, South China's hands are longer and longer? They are destroying the situation in the Far East ..." Winston shouted excitedly, hoping to impose sanctions on South China.

"Winston, we didn't see this. Your plan has worked. Nanhua is busy fighting with Huaxia. At this time, we still don't have to move well."

"Just a little sugar, there is no shortage of sugar and food of the British Empire. Let's consider how to deal with the threat of the Germans!"

"That is, the German guy is too hateful. They are not satisfied. They have passed the new naval bill and prepared to expand the fleet by 30%again."

"30%? Oh my god, the power of Germany will soon reach more than 70%of the Royal Navy, and we cannot let it go."

"The Royal Navy has the task of managing the global channel. There is no way to concentrate on cope with the Germans.

On the daily life of the parliament, the topic was pulled on the Germans.

The German naval strength expansion speed makes the British feel like the back. After all, the Germans want to leave Hong Kong and directly face the North Sea, while the northern Britain is the North Sea.

In other words, as long as Germany is still expanding the navy, the threat of the Germans will not disappear.

70%, it sounds not much, but there are colonies in the United Kingdom to maintain, which needs to involve a large number of ships.

Coupled with the German, the Austro -Hungarian Empire, and the Italian Kingdom, the relationship between the two countries also has a uncomfortable navy. The total number of main ships has surpassed Britain.

Of course, the ships of Italy and the Austro -Hungarian Empire could not go to the Mediterranean at all. In the Mediterranean, they also faced the threat of the French and the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet.

However, parliamentarians will not see these, they will only see that the main fleet of the heavy construction of the British Empire to ensure that the sea power control seems to be able to cope with the situation.

At this time, any weaknesses are not accepted, so their contradictions concentration points are pointing to Germany.

Even if a tramp who was frozen on the streets of London, the police would scold the phrase "All the damn Germans!"

"The Ottomans are actively contacting the Germans. The topic discussed involves loans, military training, joint command, Turkish Strait transformation, etc." A member of the Council suddenly stood up and said.

The sudden heavy bomb ignited the entire parliament.

"Damn Germans!"

"There are Turks, we must give them a little lesson."

"It must be so. If we do not respond, soon, European countries will fall to Germany."

"Once the Turkish Strait is controlled, our contact with the Russian Empire will be interrupted. What reaction will the Russians make? That is our allies ..."

Tokyo Metropolitan, the previous meeting, also reported on the recent market fluctuations, but Japan's end seems to be more serious.

"The prices of food, iron ore, coal, oil, and various commodities have risen to varying degrees. Many factories have been forced to stop working."

"In recent months, all the export items such as cotton, grain, cloth, mechanical equipment and other empires have been cut."

"Koizumi, I can understand the price increase of raw materials, but why did the exports fall? Still so serious. Moreover, we also exported food and increased food prices. I have Koizumi.

"By Prime Minister, Huaxia has reduced imports." Koizumi bowed gently and said.

"Nani? Is it a conspiracy?" The temple wrinkled, and subconsciously thought it was a conspiracy.

"At present, it is more like an economic crisis around the world. It has happened many times before, and Huaxia himself is uncomfortable." Koizumi shook his head gently.

"The empire needs its own raw materials, as well as the dumping market. If we also want Britain, we have a vast colony, we will not worry about this!"

"We should take advantage of Huaxia's civil strife to seize the original areas, and even the whole north."

"It's not too late now. In order to have a little interest in the area, Huaxia has made trouble with Nanhua. At this time, military operations are launched. Nanhua may not be managed."

The military people began to complain again. Previously, when the revolutionary army attacked the Qing Empire, the Japanese betrayed the Baoqing Empire and then failed.

At that time, the Japanese military could not endure failure, demanding launch of large -scale military operations, taking back their "deserved" rights and interests, and even planning.

However, this plan did not receive the government's support. In the era of Great Zheng, the emperor did not bid to the military. The government easily suppressed the military and made this idea.

"This plan has been rejected! Now ..." The temple stood up.

"His Majesty Emperor is tired!" The waiter suddenly opened the curtain and said softly.
