Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chapter 342 2 Female Horse Racing (Page 12)

This time, Zhao Chuanxian was particularly low-key, even purchasing for zero yuan.

I've always gotten enough books in the past, but the amount I got this time was very inconspicuous.

However, it was enough to make John Peterman feel pain.

John Peterman followed, and found nothing amiss;

Just keep chattering: "You are not welcome here."

"Please leave."

"I'm going to call the Sheriff."

Zhao Chuanxin listened to his thoughts, but did not dare to do anything.

So I insisted on walking around, and it happened that Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah had also finished picking out their clothes.

He took out a roll of money and said, "I have plenty of money."

As he spoke, he threw the money into John Peterman's face with astonishing momentum, and then it fell to the ground.

John Peterman was furious.

"Too deceiving."

But he is a businessman after all, and he clearly distinguishes personal emotions from buying and selling.

If you should make money, you still have to make money.

He picked up the scattered money and found that they were all small change.

After counting, he hurriedly chased out of the store: "Hey, there are still five cents left..."

However, Zhao Chuanxin was nowhere to be seen.

Outside the town, Benjamin Goldberg saw Zhao Chuanxin conjuring a pile of clothes, shoes and other items out of thin air.

"Master, these things seem to be from JCPenney's store."

"Yeah, look, there are still dolls, let's play with them."

Benjamin Goldberg shook his head: "Master, I'm not interested."

Realistic dolls are nothing compared to the splendor of his fantasy world.

Marcus Nkrumah snatched the doll or something away: "I'm interested."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the clothes he was holding in his arms, and they didn't seem to fit well.

He grabbed it, made some gestures on the big black man, and said angrily: "Are you stupid? Can you wear this clothes?"

Marcus Nkrumah shook his head: "The clerk asked me to buy it."

"Fake, you are indeed a profiteer. He tricked you into buying clothes that don't fit you. Then don't blame me for buying them for zero yuan."

Zhao Chuanxin hates people who cheat, chase madmen, and fool fools.

And Benjamin Goldberg thought that the master had indeed stolen it.

……

New York City, Wall Street.

Jesse Livermore said dissatisfiedly to Thomas W. Lawson: "Thomas, what did you mean by the article you wrote in the issue that praised the United Copper Company?"

Thomas W. Lawson was nonchalant: "It's just a warm-up, my man, no big deal."

Jesse Livermore said angrily: "We have to keep a low profile, do you understand? Your high-profile manipulation of the stock market will attract investigations. Originally, John Morgan and those old guys were staring at us."

In fact, Thomas W. Lawson was a standard double-standard dog.

On the one hand, he wrote books criticizing monopolies and stock market fraud, but when diamond prices fell in 1901, he himself wrote articles praising diamonds and raising prices just because he had investments in this area.

Moreover, he is also very bold.

Last year's San Francisco earthquake, when Zhao Chuanxin and Jesse Livermore were making huge profits on Wall Street, Thomas W. Lawson was among them.

This guy is a typical sanctimonious hypocrite on Wall Street.

He said: "Don't worry, my article will only be published in a small journal and will not attract widespread attention. God said that if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. I did it for our cause. Sacrifice, do you think I am willing to sacrifice my reputation?"

Jesse Livermore frowned deeply and sighed to persuade: "Thomas, you have to know that Ethan is not an easy person to talk to. We are going to mess up his affairs, and you and I will both face him. anger."

"I have my measure."

……

Along the Hudson River.

Edith Roosevelt and Wilhelmina rode ahead.

Hanging far behind were Wilhelmina's guards.

To deceive others, they disguised themselves as cowboys.

It's just a bit nondescript, and he looks like a villain.

Since Wilhelmina wanted to see New York, Edith Roosevelt took her here.

It would satisfy her curiosity without causing a commotion.

Wilhelmina asked curiously: "Madam, when you usually travel, don't you take any entourage with you?"

"Yes, I like freedom. I have traveled all over the world and made many friends, but I never bring a guard."

As he spoke, Edith Roosevelt looked back at the "evil people."

Wilhelmina's face turned red.

On the contrary, the Dutch royal family's card cannot be defeated, and the escort will follow them wherever they go.

"Ma'am, the view here is nice. You can also see New York City."

"That's it." Edith Roosevelt pointed to the Hudson River: "I often come here to ride horses. There is a beautiful place in North Tarrytown nearby. There is a manor there. I have some friendship with the former manor owner. It’s a pity that the manor has been sold. However, there is another place with a beautiful view.”

In fact, Wilhelmina would rather go to New York City on the lower reaches of the Hudson River.

But she has been keenly aware that the wife of the big American boss seems to look down on her.

She is a very strong person at heart and will never allow this to happen.

So he said: "Well, madam, let's go explore the place you mentioned."

Edith Roosevelt chuckled: "It's just a lake there. It's far from an adventure. At most, there are some gray wolves."

She mentioned the gray wolf deliberately, just to see the fear on Wilhelmina's face.

Sure enough, a trace of fear flashed in Wilhelmina's eyes.

The Dutch royal family also hunted, but usually hunted small red deer, rabbits and waterfowl.

She had never even seen a gray wolf.

However, Wilhelmina did not flinch. She bit her neat teeth and said, "Okay, let's go there."

She didn't want to lose the reputation of the royal family.

Edith Roosevelt was the kind of woman who, once she had a stereotype of someone, could never get rid of it.

She is actually a willful and stubborn woman, and she cannot change her temper even when she gets older.

The two of them trekked with their guards and arrived at Putnam Lake the next day.

Wilhelmina usually trains her riding skills, keeping herself relaxed and resting when she is tired.

This was the first time that I had to travel a long distance with an elderly woman, and it was miserable.

But looking at Edith Roosevelt, she was still in high spirits. She had only a little strength in her life and persevered tenaciously.

Edith Roosevelt saw this and felt disdainful: How can a stupid woman become a king like this? It’s so easy to let others influence your will!

Wilhelmina had a tenacity to her work, but Edith Roosevelt was a slicker.

The two have different ages and experiences, and their starting points for looking at things are also different.

But after seeing the clear lake water and the swarms of swimming fish, the two of them put aside their unhappiness for the time being.
