[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 75

Pretending to be sick and depressed, Rose succeeded in getting Carl to repay the bank loan by relying on Carl's almost morbid concern for her.

I don't know what Carl thinks, Rose doesn't think she is really good enough to make him so obsessed.That's what Carl is.

Sometimes Rose feels that her biggest cheat is not the gold exchange system, but Karl's unreasonable attention to her and decades of doting on her.

Thick and heavy made her feel panic at times.

After Carl repaid the loan, Rose felt relieved.But there is nothing Rose can do about the company's stocks and the stocks held by Carl.At this time, it was 1928, and the economic crisis was in 1929.Although it looks like she still has a year to go.But now it's late autumn and winter.In fact, I didn't have much time with Ben.

As for when the economic crisis started in 1929, she really couldn't remember these details.She only remembered that it seemed to be the second half of the year, but she was not sure about this general concept.

In fact, the notepad that was left in the system grid to record major events could not help Rose.Because at that time, she didn't remember anything.

Although she had made preparations before crossing over the years, she was just thinking about it.Who knew that time travel would actually happen.If you don't review that kind of material for a few days, you will return it to the teacher.She can't help it, can she?

It is not easy for her to remember these.OK.

Fortunately, Carl promised Rose to pay off the bank loan.Then the stock in his hand will be much less.

Except for the stocks that his company must hold, Karl sold nearly half of the other stocks.

The rest are also being released one after another.After all, companies also need working capital.Although, Rose once said that she was willing to spend a large sum of money to help him repay the bank loan.But Carl still refused.

He is a man.He is Rose's man.He can deceive anyone outside, but he has sworn that in this life, he will treat her like a jewel.

At this moment, how could he let a woman's private money go.Although he has repaid the bank loan, he will earn a lot less money.But as long as Rose is happy.

No matter how important money is, it is not as important as her.Not to mention just earning less.

The other day, Rose's worry, the melancholy, was so severe.His heart was aching.As Rose often said, in this world, things that can be solved with money are nothing.

So, just treat the less money you earn as buying a gift called 'peace of mind' for your own woman.

October 1929, 10, was one of the most ordinary days in many autumns.Rose is still waiting for the financial crisis to come to this day.

From last year until now, Rose has been suffering every day.She was afraid that she remembered wrongly.And afraid that every new day may be the day of crisis.

With the appearance of the TV, Rose subconsciously turns it on every day.Regardless of whether you can see it or not, you can just lie on the sofa and close your eyes to listen to the sound.

The current technology does not have any live broadcasts.It's just some movies or musicals.These things that I have seen over and over again can make Rose gradually fall into a deep sleep.

Rose, who slept for another afternoon, finally waited for Karl with a decadent face before dinner.Carl waved away the maid, threw the briefcase in his hand on the sofa, and sat down.

Seeing Carl like this for the first time, Rose was a little worried.It's a little bit clearer.Send everyone out.Walking gently to the sofa, he massaged the acupuncture points on Karl's head slowly.

After a while, Carl covered his eyes with one hand.He held Rose's hand tightly with one hand.The voice was very soft, with a low tone and said: "Rose, I have a very bad premonition."

Everything that happened today made Karl panic.He stood guard on the exchange for a day, and he didn't sell all the stocks in his hands except the company's stocks until the market closed.The price is pitifully low.

But at least it didn't hit the hand.Compared with those who also sold stocks, he is much, much better.

When he was leaving the exchange, he accidentally heard that the selling volume throughout the day was as high as more than 600 million shares.What kind of number is this.Every time he thought about it, his mind went blank.

If he hadn't listened to Rose's words, he would have repaid the bank loan and sold some stocks.Did he pay too much?

The Hockley family has run the steel business for generations, and he doesn't know if it will be ruined today.He didn't even dare to see what kind of trough the stock of Hockley's family had fallen into.

Due to the hard work of several generations of the Hockley family, their family now accounts for 70.00% of the shares of the steel factory20.00.The remaining [-]% are all retail stocks except for one or two individual shareholders.

Now, he clearly knows that the stock will continue to fall, but even if the steel factory's stock falls to the Central Basin, he cannot release it.

Even if you die, you can't let go.And as a last resort, he would buy back all the shares in the steel plant.Although it will take greater risks, the steel plant will only belong to the Hockley family from now on.It's just that this is destined to disrupt his previous plan.

Because he was not young at this time, he wrote his will after his 45th birthday.For all stocks, the eldest son gets 50.00% and the youngest son 20.00%.As for Rose, he also stated in the will that the remaining [-]% belonged to her.The family property is also divided into three equally.

He was afraid that one day, if he left, the little woman he had spoiled and protected all his life would suffer a little bit.Although he also knew that Rose's private house was very rich.But a man can never worry enough about the woman he loves deeply.

Today, at the moment of returning home, he suddenly realized that he might leave nothing behind.How could he be willing to let her and the children be wronged.

How willing.

How willing.

He would want to buy back all the shares in the factory, but he still had hope in his heart.

"Bad premonition?" Rose closed her eyes when she heard this, knowing that what should come had finally come. She wondered if she should be happy that her memory was correct.Still worried about the long road ahead.

Ten years of the Great Depression!More than 600 days and nights.

Rose's words interrupted Carl's thoughts just now, "Rose, I might really be going bankrupt." Carl paused every word, as if he was tearing open the wound in his heart again, and said jerky that maybe ending will appear.

Desperate and painful!

"Wall Street?" Rose walked around the sofa and sat next to Carl, asking him softly.

"Yes, Wall Street." This place that drives all Americans crazy, how many Americans will be driven crazy starting today.

"Hehe, until today. Carl, I'm finally richer than you." Rose tried to say this in a lighter tone.But obviously, the sadness in the tone was heard by Karl.

Patting Rose's leg with his hands, he nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Mrs. Hockley, your personal property has finally caught up with your husband. Now he suddenly realizes that you didn't listen to his persuasion and let your little one What a wise decision it is for the lunch box factory to go public."

As a good husband with 24 filial piety, although Karl feels helpless and desperate about his work situation.But at the same time, I am also moved and thankful that Rose opened a lunch box factory for fun, but has not expanded its production and operation and launched it to the market today.

He could foresee what kind of mourning scene the land of the United States would be in after this October.

Now that I think about it, it was a smart and lucky decision to repay the bank loan and sell a large amount of stocks last year to appease Rose's uneasy emotions.

"Of course, you don't even look at who I am. Don't you feel honored to be married to a lady who is as versatile and beautiful as I am, with strong financial resources? So, since I am married to you. Your business is my business. So the company's business, and I. Of course, I am only responsible for paying the money. I don't care about anything else. If it is a funding problem, you don't have to worry about it. But, Carl, you said the bank will Bankrupt?"

In Huaxia, or in Huaxia decades later, banks are all owned by the state.Now in the United States, banks are generally personal.

It wasn't until this moment that Rose thought that if the bank was also implicated in this economic turmoil, would all their money in the bank become a bubble?

Since the birth of her first child, Rose has consciously started saving money.After so many years, she could never forget that Karl committed suicide because of bankruptcy.Now that you are married to him, you will share good and bad, honor and disgrace.

She couldn't live without him long ago.And their children cannot live without him.Since a woman has a home, she only has her home, her family and children in her heart and eyes.

Because of this, she exchanged part of the gold in the system for U.S. dollars and stored it in the bank.Now that I suddenly remembered, I was very worried and asked Carl if what she was worried about would happen.

Carl heard Rose's words, and at the beginning, he also knew that Rose was making fun of himself.Then he talked about getting funds for himself, and Karl was moved and helpless.I was moved by Luo's decision without hesitation.Helpless, there are no eggs under the overturned nest.

But when he heard the end, Carl suddenly stared in shock.What Rose said is very likely to happen.

No, he can't relax yet.At dawn tomorrow, he has to get all the cash out of the bank.

Gold keeps its value, and this storm does not know when it will end.That much cash cannot preserve its value.So shrink your assets and turn your cash into dollars for storage.That's the top priority.

"Rose, tell Carter, tell him now. Get up early tomorrow morning and go to the bank. Take out all the cash you have in the bank, yes, take it out. Then change two-thirds of it into gold It’s stored in our basement.” Carl walked up and down the room, trying to say something.

He has been planted.Rose couldn't fall down.The current situation is very bad.Because he sold most of his stocks last year.So tomorrow will not be so.Not so with others.

Wilson Turf's family opened a bank.Many of his stocks have not been sold today.And some others.They will definitely continue to wait and see or sell stocks tomorrow.But he knows that the US stock market has been paralyzed.It was never going to get better.

Those financial crocodiles are also clear in their hearts.But all their net worth is in the stock market.They don't want to believe this fact, and they can't.Therefore, when those people were still in the stock market, he had to withdraw his family's money and Rose's private house from the bank.

One step later, their whole family will accompany those people and lose everything.

The next day, Carl took Leger out early in the morning.And Carter also went to Hockley's house before the bank opened, got Rose's authorization letter, and was the first to rush into the bank when the bank opened.

In addition to the Hockley family where Carl is, there are several people waiting, and then they are busy exchanging money from the bank for gold.Other financial giants are still carrying out a dying rescue for the surviving stock market.

Rose, who was left at home, felt her whole heart flutter like a bucket being hung.Lunch, how it was served, and how it was served.

She forced herself to calm down, it was not the end of the matter.Her current tension was only affected by the atmosphere created by Karl and the others.

She still has a lot of things to do.The first thing is the factory.The factory has three assembly lines and five workshops.In addition, the factory also has five stores outside.Hundreds of staff inside and out.

Factories had to stop, the economy was depressed.The products of the factory are not consumables.When the economic conditions are not rich, who will trade in the old for the new.

Factories shut down and workers were laid off.But the factory still needs guards.Fortunately, at the beginning, in order to trap those Fusang people who had just come to the United States, Rose asked people to build the factory very firmly, even compared to a prison, it was no worse.

Therefore, there is no need for many people to stay to guard the factory.She remembered that there was a family of Chinese workers in the factory.The old is old, the small is small.Let them stay.

By the way, cafeterias and supermarkets will also be withdrawn.Some of the overstocked goods were left to be sent to the old house for the man who looked after the factory.for later use.

Stores, keep one store, and the others will be closed.This family, leave it to Carter and Tracy.All of Europe is full of unemployed people.She closed the factory, and Carter's job was gone.

He has followed me for so many years, and I can't kick him away at this time.With this retail store.No matter how much sales, there is at least a basic salary.

As for the job of looking after the store, neither Carter nor Tracy can do it.It turns out that a shop needs three people.But at that time business was very good.At a time like this, one person is enough.

Rose thought, she is not short of that share.Let them both go to the store.After thinking about it, Rose quickly thought about the addresses of the five stores.Instead, I found that the place closest to Hockley's old house was the most suitable place to stay.

It was a small western-style building with three floors. Rose bought it from Chinese people many years ago.Although this room has three floors.But the area is not big.

In the past, the first floor was retail and the second floor was wholesale.The third floor is the pattern of the warehouse.Rose thought that the day was about to be chaotic.It's better to let them live upstairs like a family of three.As for Carter's original home, let's lock it up.

Not to mention far from this store, the neighbors who live there are also ordinary workers.After being unemployed and laid off, who knows what will be done when life becomes more and more difficult.After all, Carter and his wife are people with serious jobs.

After thinking about this, Rose began to circle around the living room again.Her heart is getting more and more flustered.If she didn't want to say anything, she couldn't calm down with Ben.

What else have you not thought about?What else?Rose frowned so much that she almost pinched the mosquitoes to death.Suddenly, when I turned around, I remembered a big event.

He hurried to the phone and picked it up.She told Rufu in the UK and Jinlongmen in the United States about her speculation about US stocks and her considerations about banks.

God knows whether things in the United States will affect the United Kingdom.

America is about to turn into hell.Americans can't survive.Then her Chinese compatriots, there is no way out.

She knew that Golden Dragon Gate of the United States also held some stocks. At this time, she had to tell them what she could think of.

After hanging up the phone, Rose was in a daze.He shook his head and sighed once.Golden Dragon Gate has some stocks, but the number is very small.And Huaxia has the habit of saving money across the river since ancient times, so ordinary people have some savings in their hands.

Years of habits, or seeing many bankrupt banks in China, so most of these people who came to the United States kept their money at home.Therefore, Rose's worry is really superfluous.

Of course this is what she thinks.Because of Rose's phone call, the Golden Dragon Gate of the United States hastily made preparations before the final time came.

On October 1929, 10, the U.S. financial sector collapsed, and stocks fell from the top to the abyss overnight.Under the ineffective rescue, he fell into a deep sleep completely.

Crazy runs, bank failures, factories closing, workers losing their jobs, poverty coming, and America's tomorrow seems never to come again.

New York, turned into a dead city.

Carl's factory also shut down.The personnel were also paid and dismissed in the past two days.Because everyone knows that the stock of the factory is playing tricks and falling to new lows.Therefore, those who wanted severance pay had no intention of making trouble.

God, if they had money, they'd have a mood to make trouble.All New York knows that including the Hockley family, 80.00% of them are bankrupt.No matter how much trouble there is, it won't cost a penny.

If you have that strength, you might as well find a good job quickly.

Received a telegram from Rufu saying he was safe.Rose was completely relieved.Mr. Andrew is not very keen on stocks, so the stock market crash did not have much impact on Andrew's family.

Of course, this is about stocks.Mr. Andrew still became a member of the unemployed army, gloriously unemployed.Because the stock of White Star Company also did not escape this financial turmoil.

Although the stock market crisis occurred in the United States.But the UK is too close.Who knows if it will be involved.Be careful, there is never a big mistake.

It is precisely because of this that Andrew's family has not been damaged by the US stock market storm.Fortunately, both Rufu himself and the Andrew family have some real estate and land.Even the savings were withdrawn from the bank early because of Rose's awakening.In addition to the previous farm of the Bookett family in the UK, the lease contract has also expired.

Rose made the decision directly and let the rent to Andrew's family.In this way, no matter what, there is land.There will be income.There will be hope in life.

Besides, in the United States, there is no factory, and Karl is also free.Although it is a pity that Hockley's factory has come to this point.But he didn't blame himself in his heart.After all, the whole of America is like this.He was able to withdraw early, and he was already worthy of the ancestors of the Hockley family.

The Hockley family has preserved their vitality, and it is not impossible to make a comeback.It's better than those hundred-year-old families that went bankrupt directly.

Because of the comparison, Karl's mentality has also been adjusted very well.Even if the factory is closed and he stays at home with nothing to do every day, he can still entertain himself very comfortably.

In Karl's view, people should be satisfied at all times.Sure enough, what Rose said made sense.

And Rose.She is more relaxed.Although the situation outside is still very bad.But she didn't let Carl get caught up in it.

It's just ten years of economic depression, what else can she and Carl wait for.Compared to Carl, who has nothing to worry about, Rose's heart has finally been completely let go after mentioning it for so many years.

There is no need to worry that the man will go bankrupt and commit suicide, and there is no need to worry that the son will become a playboy and a prodigal son.Although the latter one is a bit early to rest assured.but,

very nice!Don't worry about being a widow all the time.

very nice!To be able to hold his hand until the end of life.

It turns out that there is no vigorous, no unforgettable love can still be together, and the plain water is engraved in the heart of the lover, accompanying like a shadow.

Love, unexpected, but taken for granted.Under the peach blossom formation, she sincerely prayed, but she was once at a loss, nowhere to be found.

Today, thank God.Even if it is a hundred years away from home, there is no way back home.She still wants to thank God for giving her a home in this time and space that has been away from home for a hundred years.Give her a man who treats her like a treasure.

I believe that no matter how the world changes, they can still hold each other's hands and walk together.

Until the hair turns gray,

To the end of time...
