[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 74

The life of a rich lady is like a son, a man.Outside salons, banquets, receptions.So in the fall of 1928, Rose found out at a dinner party.Many wealthy businessmen in the United States have borrowed money from banks to speculate in stocks.It is very preoccupied.

In 1929, the Wall Street stock market crashed and the Great Recession began.Most of those who have traded stocks in modern times know about this matter.Rose once followed suit in stocks.Therefore, I have heard of this historical event.

When the wind of time travel prevailed, Rose used to memorize the lottery winning data over the years and the ups and downs of various mysterious stocks.Although in addition to these, there are other methods of making cement, soap, and glass.

But many years have passed, and there are not many that can be remembered.Sometimes Rose couldn't help thinking that a person like her who had prepared for many years before time travel might not be able to remember much.Don't those colleagues who have traveled through time have particularly outstanding memories?

Those people who used these things to make a fortune after time travel were also like her, preparing knowledge in advance that might not be used in a lifetime.

As the years passed, Rose could only be described as a trick of good fortune.When I recited these at the beginning, I actually didn't think that I would one day travel through time.But if you really traveled through time, you’ve still lived here for so many years.Rose had to sigh.

After coming to this era, Rose did not trade in stocks.Her lunch box factory did not set up a joint-stock company under the influence of the general trend of this society, and then went public.

Her lunch box factory has always been innovative.Every year, the tricks continue.Performance has been very stable.In fact, Rose also does some peripheral businesses such as lunch boxes.For example, her lunch box factory has a special workshop to manufacture all kinds of tableware that she has drawn.Among them, children's and women's products are the best sellers.

For another example, her factory also has a workshop, which is specially used to make all kinds of cute lunch box sets and tableware sets.Cloth, leather, and plastic.Of course, there are also many wood carvings.

These are all complementary in nature.Generally, these two workshops are run by family members of the factory.The work is easy, and the wages are not too low. It can supplement the family, and there is no need to look for work outside the factory.

A factory with about [-] employees always needs to work overtime during the school season to complete various orders.Carter, the person in charge of the factory, always put forward the application to expand the factory and increase the operation line.But these were dismissed by Rose.

This is a business, no matter how big it is, it is not attractive to Rose.These private houses of hers will be left to her children in the future.

After so many years, she only has two sons.And her and Karl's property will be left to them in the future.That is no small sum.Even if they do nothing, it is enough for them to live a prosperous life.

That being the case, why is it necessary to increase the production line?Not to mention that you can leave more wealth to your children and grandchildren.She is used to being selfish, her son, she took care of it.Her son's son, isn't that her son's responsibility?

If she took care of everything, what's the point of her sons' existence?

Her son's blood pressure is already much higher than that of ordinary people.No matter how tall or thick, it is not a blessing, but a bane of being forgotten.

"Honey, what's the matter recently, you can't even watch your favorite TV?" Carl finally turned off the TV. He didn't pay attention to Rose's recent distraction, but it took a long time, as long as it wasn't Even the blind can see.

After the TV was researched, Rose asked Carl to find a way to buy two sets, one for the living room and one for the bedroom.Rose is excited and grateful every time she sees these two TVs.

After all these years, she was finally able to watch TV again.Back then, mobile phones and computers were more attractive to her than TV.But now.A black and white TV with no channels can make her treat it like a baby.

I have to say that in terms of time, no matter how rich you are, you have power.It can't compare with those common people of later generations.

Because at the time she came, ordinary people had already used liquid crystal display screens.What they consider is not the problem of black and white TV itself, but carefully choose a TV suitable for their home under various brands.

Fang said that at this time, that is, after dinner today, the two of them sat in front of the newly bought TV and watched TV.Rose was in a daze again.Karl couldn't help but ask.

Thinking about what happened recently, Karl really didn't know what happened to Rose.He neither messed around outside, nor secretly gave his son pocket money.Well, of course, he didn't save private money quietly.

"It's nothing, it's just" Rose really didn't know how to say to Carl, "Dear, God destined you to go bankrupt, but God forgot to tell me what year it was.The stock market on Wall Street will crash next year, so, will you shoot yourself next year? '

If such a heartfelt thought was really told to Karl, I wonder if Karl would send her to the hospital to have a look at the newly established psychiatric department.

"Honey, what's the matter? Is there anything you can't say to me?" His family Rose has a tough character.Two months ago, she got her female secretary, who was making a show of herself, to the marketing department.

What is the effective use of resources, although he does not understand this term very well.But it could be seen that the female secretary was very happy.Especially when Rose specially gave her a few invitations for high society banquets.

The female secretary now doesn't take him seriously.None of the servants under his skirt is inferior to him in wealth.And there are no bright and eye-catching Bawang flowers at home.

Although I don't know what Rose said to the lady, anyway, this lady is relying on the company to be a professional woman, and at the same time is controlling the financial predators.It seems that there is no thought of resigning at all.

However, in any case, the company's orders have increased significantly in the past two months.This made Karl even want to get those beautiful female employees in the company to the marketing department.

However, that person kept a very safe distance from him.At the same time, she looked at herself with pitiful and pitiful eyes.Although, he couldn't deny whether Rose had said something bad about him behind his back again.

For example, what kind of domestic violence, stinginess, so rich, I don’t give my son pocket money anymore.And a series of things that violate the gentleman's code, he has heard others say that about him.

Speaking of domestic violence, I have to talk about Rose's skin.Rose's skin is fair and delicate. At this age, there are still no fine lines on her face.The body is also firm and elastic.Although, Karl thinks it may have something to do with her various weird maintenance and beauty methods.But Rose didn't want to admit it. She always said that she was naturally beautiful.

All right.On this statement, he remained silent.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with his invincible beauty, that Carl's enthusiasm for Rose is always burning very thoroughly.

Sometimes, it may lose weight.On Rose's exposed skin, there were green dots of hickey marks.

And Rose's physique is different from ordinary people.When these hickeys first appeared, they were indeed hickeys, and when others saw them, they would know the ambiguity in them.But after a day or two, the hickeys will turn into bruises.It was as if someone had pinched it fiercely.

There have been several times when Rose went to meet those ladies who were interested in him at such times.At first, he wondered what Rose would talk about.After hearing it once, Karl lost interest.

Miss Ni.Will a wife look at a woman who wants to touch her husband with satisfaction, and introduce various doctors who specialize in skin trauma?

As someone's wife, would she keep praising her husband for being considerate and generous with a look of sympathy and fear of others running away?

Originally, you boasted so much, and you didn't deserve the expression, but people could still think you were showing off.But with that expression, no matter how you look at it, it's weird.

Especially in the end, you told people that beating is kissing and scolding is love with a serious face.Men sometimes display the beauty of strength in women.Please don't misunderstand men's love for them.

Carl really didn't know what to say about Rose.Rose is not a traditional woman in this era. It is not that Karl can't feel that she may be happier without herself.

Rose, who is still beautiful even at noon, has never lacked suitors.Although Rose said the same thing, Carl knew that if he really took a wrong step, Rose would not give him a chance and let him choose again.

And dismissing those women who had unreasonable thoughts about him was not because Rose didn't believe him so much and was so afraid of losing him.but a pastime.

In her opinion, no matter what the outcome is, she must do something.

And she also knows that even if she does nothing.He, Cal Hockley, didn't dare to go one step further.

because.He can't afford to gamble.

Much of the time Rose bloomed in the wind like a harmless flower.But he knew that if she really didn't want him anymore, she would definitely take their child to the horizon so that he could find him again.

He knew she had the means and the ability.Especially the few Chinese people she once funded are now very important figures in China.

Huaxia is so big, even if he knew where Rose went, he might never find her again.

So he has been careful not to take a step beyond the threshold, and Rose is narrow-minded and caressing.It's also kind-hearted.As long as she doesn't step on her bottom line, she will seldom take it to heart as long as she vents her anger.Of course, this code of conduct does not include Fusang.

Carl still can't figure out what happened to Fusang to Rose.Let Rose hold her grudge for decades.

Having said that, he had never seen Rose in such a preoccupied state before.She was always jumping up happily.When will this happen, it makes people feel sore.

"It's nothing serious, I just found out now. It turns out that rich people who don't take out loans from banks are not considered rich." No wonder, when the stock price falls, everyone will go bankrupt.

It turned out that wealthy businessmen like them like to use most of the company's funds and the money lent out with their own fixed assets to speculate in stocks.

Once the speculative stocks fall, the normal operation of the company will be affected, and the bank will take away all their assets within a specified time.It is clear to clear the body and leave the house, because they often have to bear a lot of debt.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Carl committed suicide with a gun.Because one of him died, his family would not have to repay the debt.Although there are no more rich days to live.But there is no need to live with such a huge debt.

Carl: "..." What does Rose mean? Why can't he understand.

"Carl, did you also borrow money from the bank to speculate in stocks?"

Carl was a little surprised by Rose's question, but he answered her with a nod.He did borrow a lot of money from the bank, but he didn't repay the money.And that little interest is not worth a fraction of the percentage point his stock rose in a day.

"So, in fact, our family has no money now?"

"Why not. Rose, why do you think so?" This kind of thought is too horrifying.

"Is the old house we live in also the bank's collateral?"

Carl nodded.Yes, not only the house, but even the company is the bank's collateral.

Rose: "...", that is to say, the original Carl, if Carl was running forward normally according to the trajectory, after bankruptcy, there would be no one to live in.

"Carl, can we trade stocks without borrowing from the bank. Let's return the money to the bank." How risky is stock trading.

Carl: "Rose doesn't make sense. We also gave interest on the money in the bank. Everyone does this. Why do you have to pay it back?" This is another draw.

Seeing Carl's puzzled gaze, Rose just sighed and went back to the room.Carl, who was left in the living room, became even more confused.

Thinking about what Rose said just now, could it be because of the two things of bank loans and stock speculation?

But what's the matter?Isn't everyone like this?

After a while, Carl still couldn't figure it out.In the end, he could only go back to the room and ask Rose again.

That night, no matter how Carl asked, Rose shook her head and remained silent.In the end, Karl could only fall asleep with a stomach full of worries.

Early the next morning, in the dining room of Hockley's old house.Carl, father and son, all stared blankly at the poor breakfast with few types on the dining table.The three of them looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Her Majesty the Queen of the Hockley family.

"Don't worry about it, our family's breakfast will be like this in the future. Not only will breakfast be like this, but every meal in the future will not be the same as before. Our family has no money, and the right way is to be diligent and thrifty." Sons, if Your old man is really bankrupt, and the 'thriftiness' you are now can't make it.

Although, as a real mother, I won't make you hungry.But for many things, it is better for you to preview first.When you can save time, you can't react, and there will be a gap in your heart.

No money?

The father and son all looked at Rose in a daze.Especially Karl, the family has no money, why doesn't he know?Is it still yesterday about bank loans?

"Rose, is it not enough for the family?" The living expenses of the family are recorded separately.This account is cast into the account at the beginning of each month.At this time, Karl felt that the price of goods had risen recently, so the household expenditure had to be readjusted.

Sure enough, there are traces of market economy.As soon as his stock went up, prices went up.But this has nothing to do with bank loans.

Rose glanced at it, and sadly replied no.

Listen to people's advice and have a full meal.Seeing that Carl had no intention of repaying the loan at all, Rose was really sad.Who is she doing this for?

When Karl saw Rose's appearance, his wife and slave hurriedly questioned her.

Under the caring eyes of her two sons and Carl, Rose said in a low voice: "We are all in debt. The bank still owes so much money. When I think about it in my heart, I feel very sad." Even if Now the stock has been rising, but the feeling of being in arrears is like pressing a mountain on your back.

This feeling is especially like the feeling of worrying about unemployment after buying a house with a loan in the previous life.I am afraid that I will be laid off suddenly, and I will not be able to repay the mortgage next month.

The pressure is great!

Carl: "..." What's wrong?Isn't that how everyone lives?Didn't we talk about this topic yesterday?Why did you bring it up again today?

Little brother Hockley felt sad when he heard his mother say that and saw his father's speechless expression.It turned out that their family was not as rich as they thought.

No wonder, what they want to buy, they have to earn their own pocket money.

However, the older young master of the Hockley family was somewhat puzzled by the topic of parents.He is not young, and has been exposed to the family business.The situation is not consistent with what the mother said.Why didn't the father refute the mother's words?

As soon as he thought of this, the eldest young master of the Hockley family was a little speechless about his own thoughts.How could he have forgotten that in front of his mother, his wise and mighty father was unprincipled.

When did my father refute what my mother said.Anyway, in his memory, it never happened.Chinese people say that a deer is a horse, so if my mother points it out, my father will be blind too.

Women are indeed the most troublesome creatures!

It's the same at home, and it's the same outside.As long as the eldest young master thinks that a woman will appear in his life in the future and manipulate his life, he wishes he would never get married in this life.

It is said that the family and parents have a huge influence on children, but the parties are always the last to know.

Therefore, neither Rose nor Carl could figure out why the eldest son refused to get married.And why does the second son always believe in the words of those women who have mischievous feelings towards him?

For this reason, the Hockley family has cooperated with the largest detective agency in the United States for as long as 30 years.While investigating those women or men who made the eldest son look different or walked closer.On the other hand, investigate the people who may have impure motives around the youngest son.

Broke my heart.
