I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Even capitalists throughout Europe are crazy.

As if money can make money infinitely, as long as money, gold, and gold are continuously invested in the stock market and aluminum-related stocks, you can get ten times and a hundred times the profit.

Many people even borrowed usury loans, and multiplied the leverage stud on this stock.

After all, even a loan shark in Paris can't make money so fast in the stock market!

Layers of gorgeous wealth bubbles piled up, as if they would never burst.

Indeed, as long as those aluminum production lines come online on schedule.

As long as the cost is not higher than Daming's too many local aluminum products can be produced, even if it relies on government subsidies to occupy the market, all investment expectations will be fulfilled.

Then the bubble is no longer a bubble, but real money, a thriving aluminum product trading market.

however……

What they don't know is that as early as two years ago, when Alufur and other aluminum concept stocks were just listed on the London Stock Exchange, there was a mysterious force that was accumulating funds at a low level to build positions.

In the process of the stock's crazy rise, it is also this mysterious force that continues to fuel the flames.

That power is nothing but the internal money of His Majesty Zhu Fugui, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

And the operator of this pig-killing dish is none other than Zhu Fugui's royal financial steward Zhu Li.

She spent two years in a long-term layout, caring for these Europa leeks like a gardener, of course not for being a shareholder of Alufur, but patiently waiting for the day of harvest.

James Bond in London, Vanderbilt Jolie in Brussels, and Taipiny King Hong Taoliu in Guinea, West Africa, raised their wrists almost at the same time.

精美的明式机械表在阳光下熠熠生辉，时针指向了1871年5月的最后一个星期5，下午2时15分。

The most famous, most terrifying, and most destructive stock market crash in the modern history of the world, the Black Friday incident in the ninth year of Dewu, has officially begun.

Chapter 606 Victoria Mother and Son's Betting

England, Norfolk.

Norfolk is a county in the northeast of England, with low-lying terrain and dense rivers and lakes.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, peaceful and quiet, with beautiful natural scenery.

Four years ago, Edward VII, Crown Prince of England and Prince of India, Prince of Wales, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, purchased a very grand and luxurious country estate on the shores of Norfolk Lake - Sandringham Manor.

[Victoria is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, and is often referred to as Queen rather than Empress. ]

According to rumors, this manor was purchased by Crown Prince Edward to support a certain mistress.

But later, because of some bad rumors, Queen Victoria personally came forward to make that despicable woman who tarnished the reputation of the royal family disappear.

However, this elegant and rustic manor was not implicated.

Even Victoria herself chooses to spend her holidays here at the turn of spring and summer.

However, her arrival temporarily destroyed the original rural scenery of Norfolk.

This is because the Queen, who came here on holiday, complained that the water in Norfolk Loch was not as sweet as the tap water in London.

If you don't consider the existence of Ming Dynasty, London with a population of 500 million is undoubtedly the most advanced metropolis in the world.

Previously, Daming supplied tap water pipes at a low price and was able to feed the capital predators who tried to short Daming’s banknotes. This is enough to show how huge a project it is to transform the drinking water system in London.

Of course, the word "reform" is enough to show how awesome London is at this time.

There is no city in the world that can use "renovation" instead of "new construction" or "expansion" to describe its urban water supply system.

1800年伦敦的自来水普及率为75%，到了1820年左右普及率达到了85%，如今更是超过97%。

Just like the New York subway in later generations, the former glory has become a liability.

The water pipes used in London today were built half a century ago.

Not only are the pipes often broken, but rust and dirt also seriously affect the water quality, which is widely criticized.

Of course, the threat of this pollution has been exaggerated and blamed.

The Thames River is the mother river of London, and Thames Water is the main water supply company in London.

The population surge in the 18th century and the straight discharge of flush toilets caused a large amount of feces to flow into the Thames River, which seriously polluted the river water.

Periodic cholera plagued London.

However, after several months of research by well-trained doctors from the Royal College of Physicians, they perfectly ignored the stench of the Thames River and the water quality that was better than that of the Ganges River. old conclusion.

Although there are some signs that the medical experts who throw out the above views are full of bankers who hold the bonds of Daming Water Pipeline.

But this conclusion was accepted.

After the Chinese trademark was worn off and the steel stamp of [Made in UK] was stamped, Daming's high-quality water pipes were quickly led to Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street.

Therefore, compared to most British people, the Victoria couple and Crown Prince Edward have already enjoyed fresh tap water in advance.

I don’t know if the high-lead water pipes in Daming really smell sweet, or if Victoria is used to smelling the smell and drinking the fragrant Thames water. Victoria, who came to Sandringham Manor, is not used to the clear lake here.

So she asked to have lawns and wetlands dug up and piped up to drink authentic old London water from London.

When the current project was completed, Victoria even made a gold-plated tap a Baron of Norfolk in recognition of its outstanding service to the royal family.

Victoria, like her descendant Elizabeth, is not only a queen, but also has a long standby time, and both have a strong aristocratic accent.

So much so that the accent of the British royal family is different from that of the common people.

Just a piece of reproductive isolation.

But in the countryside, apart from guards, drivers, servants, gardeners, shoe grinders, bathtub masters, winders, coffee grinders and more than 40 types of work, more than 500 people, and dogs, there is no one else, and Victoria relaxes a lot .

At this moment, she is wearing a set of [Thirteen Cardamoms [Jade Rabbit Girl] Embroidered Stand-up Collar Long Jacket Cloud Shoulder Horse Face Skirt Ming Hanfu Women], lying on a chair and eating French snails.

Regarding the matter of the Queen of England wearing Hanfu in the Ming Dynasty, it is of course inappropriate and violates the ancestral system.

However, Kangxi also loved to wear Hanfu, and Yongzheng also wore French clothing with stockings and high heels. Things like exotic styles are still very attractive to the monarch who maintains a meticulous personality all day long.

Victoria brought all the clothes she didn't dare to wear in London to Sandringham Manor.

"Mother, is your suit the one that Zhu Fugui sent by mail?"

Edward took out a large snail with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and then asked.

"Don't mention that rude, barbaric, immoral heretic in front of me, God, I feel sick when I hear his name!" Victoria said dissatisfied.

But she did not deny this statement, and Edward was convinced that this suit was indeed a gift from the Ming emperor.

Edward still wanted to say something, but under the restraint of his mother's stern eyes, he had no choice but to shut up and eat.

The queen wears beautiful Hanfu, yes.

It is not allowed for the crown prince to speak while eating snails.

However, Victoria seems to have really been played by Zhu Fugui's name, and the big snail in his mouth is no longer fragrant. Putting down the knife and fork, he said to his son:

"Edward, your father died early, and I will eventually grow old and sleep forever. The future of the British Empire belongs to you. Promise me that no matter what, you must dismember the damned Ming Kingdom. This is not only Because of Zhu Fugui's personal offense to me, but also because of the threat of the Yellow Peril to Great Britain."

"Mom, you will live a long and healthy life!"

Edward quickly replied, trying to put on a filial and well-behaved expression, but when he heard "The future of the British Empire belongs to you", the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning to the back of his ears.

Although, as the eldest son, he has been knighted as a Knight of the Garter, Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rotersey, and Earl of Dublin since childhood, in fact, Edward has always been unlikable.

He was never good for studying, his grades were muddled, he was naughty when he was young, and when he grew up, he became a lazy, extravagant and lustful playboy.

After being sent by Victoria and Albert to serve in the Irish Army, he hangs out with an actress.

Albert went to visit him in order to care about his condition, but died of typhoid fever two weeks after his return.

The middle-aged widowed queen blamed Edward's absurdity for her husband's death, and has since kept him out of political or royal affairs.

Unexpectedly, my mother took the initiative to mention the inheritance of the throne today.

This made Edward ecstatic.

Mother is over 50 years old.

According to the average life expectancy of this era, she may return to the embrace of the Lord at any time.

It's time for me, Edward, to become a regular!

How can there be a 60-year-old prince in the world?

"Pull away that ugly smile of yours!"

Victoria clutched her forehead, feeling very troubled.

Sometimes, she envied Kaiser Wilhelm.

According to the information sent back by the eldest daughter, although his son does not have any special talents, at least he is quite satisfactory.

It's better than my useless son who only knows whoring and betting on horses.

At this time, another woman appeared in the mind of the erratic Victoria.

Far away in Beijing, the woman called Oriental Victoria.

She is having a hard time now...

Although, as a woman in power, she felt a little sympathy for each other, but Victoria knew very well that Xingzhen was the enemy of Great Britain and a stumbling block to the encirclement strategy in the Far East.

Under the instigation of the British side, a movement with the slogan of "returning the government to the emperor and reforming the Westernization Movement" is taking place in the Far East.

Emperor Tongzhi actually abandoned his biological mother, chose to cooperate with Ci'an and Prince Gong, and relied on the power of the United Kingdom to achieve pro-government.

And it was the new, young British envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Randolph Churchill, who led all of this.

Victoria sighed and said: "Edward, wait until the third child of Churchill's family returns to London, you can find a time to reconcile with him, the victory of the Conservative Party in this election is obvious, and Churchill will soon be called the king of the empire." Prime Minister, it is not a good thing for you to have a bad relationship with his son."

"I do not want!"

Edward frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "That despicable coward Randolph, obviously he asked me for a duel, but he ran to Beijing by himself!"

"Nonsense, it's just for a commoner woman, so many years have passed, there is nothing to worry about!" Victoria said angrily.

"No, it's not my fault!"

Edward took out a carefully cut newspaper from his pocket, "Look, it's full of blatant slander! This article must have been written by Randolph, only he knows my hobbies so well!"

"What is this? Why do you keep a newspaper next to you? What are the weird spots and stains on it?" Victoria asked with a frown.

"Uh……"

It was only then that Edward realized his gaffe, "I have to say, Randolph's writing is very good, and his name hasn't been changed, and he has a strong sense of substitution... It's really strange... It's obvious that my woman had an affair with them, but why? ..."

Edward realized that he seemed to have awakened to some great habit again!

In order to change the topic, Edward quickly pointed to the news on the front page of the newspaper and said: "Look, mother, the electrolytic aluminum production line of German Siemens company seems to be put into operation. Tell me, will this cause harm to my country's aluminum manufacturers?" Influence?"

Although it was just an excuse to change the subject, Edward was indeed a little worried.

Because his mother restricted him from participating in politics for a long time, Edward also fell in love with the business of stock investment in addition to his luxury.

In his opinion, this is much more interesting than gambling.

Gambling still has at least a 50% failure rate, but stocks, as long as you choose to buy bauxite or electrolytic aluminum stocks, it is impossible to lose money.

In the past few months, everyone has been talking about stocks, talking about aluminum concept stocks.

Almost all of Edward's wine and meat friends bought stocks.

Edward was trembling at first, and took some pocket money to try, but later he was confident and bold, and even borrowed a lot of money from the bank and even the Jewish usury syndicate by using his status as the crown prince.

Because the leverage is increasing and the profits are increasing, Edward is becoming more and more concerned about the stock market.

"My stupid son!"

Victoria showed an idiot-looking look.

"You ask me? How can I know this kind of thing? As the queen of the empire, do I care about industrial production in addition to appreciating art and enjoying luxury goods? I haven't paid attention to it since the value of aluminum as jewelry disappeared. Get over it. But..."

After a pause, Victoria frowned and recalled thoughtfully:

"Is it called Alufur Aluminum? I remember that the Privy Council has allocated this stock for me in recent months, because the profit is very high. I have some impressions. If I remember correctly, the funds have been added to 800 Ten thousand pounds. In a sense, my pension and yours are all in it!"

Chapter 607 "West African Demarcation Treaty"

"Fifty million pounds?"

Edward felt himself split.
