Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

However, man proposes, God disposes. No matter how smart Prince Gong and Wenxiang were, they could not predict how things would develop next.

Shandong, Jinan Prefecture, Qilu Bank.

Liu Ye was particularly happy today. He gathered with the managers of Qilu Bank at the headquarters, waiting for a distinguished guest. Of course, this distinguished guest would soon no longer be a distinguished guest, but would become the helmsman of Qilu Bank, Yung Wing!

The reason was simple: half a year later, Yung Wing returned from America.

Returning with Yung Wing was a team of financial elites hired from the United States, all of whom were hired by Yung Wing at high salaries.

When he came back this time, Yung Wing's condition had completely changed because his wallet had become fatter. This time, he went to America according to Liu Ye's instructions, and he really made a big splash!

Yung Wing set out from Jinan and arrived in Shanghai. He exchanged all his silver notes into US dollars, and then took a ship under the escort to rush to America. When he arrived in America, he first visited Colt, the big boss of Colt Arms Company, who was introduced to him by Liu Ye!

Although Yung Wing was familiar with finance, he lacked a team. How could he build one in the United States without connections? Furthermore, Liu Ye sent a telegram to Colt, requesting that Colt allocate a portion of the company's profits to support Yung Wing's efforts in the New York gold market.

Colt expressed hesitation about Yung Wing and Liu Ye's move this time, but Yung Wing had come to the United States, and Liu Ye was very confident in the request he made. Between the lines, it seemed as if the Americans' money had already entered his pocket. Colt was even more aware of Liu Ye's ability. If he was sure of something, it would most likely succeed!

Colt finally made up his mind to mobilize part of the funds of the arms company and assist Yung Wing in setting up an investment bank. He started by targeting the US gold market. However, this was the moment before Morgan was about to target gold. As a result, the two men acted almost at the same time.

What a coincidence! Both Morgan and Yung Wing were unknown young men. Both of them acted secretly and had supporters behind them. Behind Morgan was his Morgan family, the Jewish consortium; and behind Yung Wing was the big arms dealer Colt.

In just one and a half months, Morgan and Yung Wing purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of gold in the United States, almost sweeping away all the gold circulating in the American market. At the same time, corresponding rumors began to spread over New York, and almost everyone began to panic. War, and the economic chaos caused by war!

Collection in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. Now the war between the North and the South is at a stalemate, and no one knows where it will go. The huge panic has caused Americans to turn their attention to gold, the most valuable and strongest currency.

However, when people began to buy and store gold, they discovered that there was not much gold left in the entire United States. Suddenly, a greater panic began to spread in New York and even the entire Northeast!

Grab the gold, grab the gold quickly!

Astute businessmen have become alert and have begun to invest large sums of money in the gold market. The price of gold in the US market has begun to rise rapidly as if it had wings.

This buying spree directly affected the gold price around the world. Even London, the largest financial center, was greatly affected, and the gold price began to fluctuate violently!

Whether it is the US government, the British government, or even the French government, they all felt tremendous pressure. Gold is the lifeline of a country and the most common currency used for international trade!

survey!

Governments around the world began to send personnel to investigate the thugs behind the gold buying spree, but it was too late. The price of gold was rising like crazy, more than doubling in just one month!

The astute Morgan and Yung Wing acted almost at the same time and dumped gold into the market. Even though their two consortiums had reserves of tens of millions of dollars in gold, it was still swept away. By the time it returned to Yung Wing's hands, the US dollar assets had already turned around!

The huge profits and earnings made Yung Wing feel dizzy. This was a profit worth nearly five million US dollars. Even if Colt's earnings and part of the costs were deducted, it was already worth as much as three and a half million US dollars, equivalent to millions of taels of silver!

As expected, just as Liu Ye said, in less than four months, he had earned millions of taels of silver for Qilu Bank! This amount of income was enough to shut up all the shopkeepers at Qilu Bank. Even if they were suffocated to death, they would never complain!

Not only was Yung Wing extremely excited, even Colt was a little overwhelmed. He had only relied on his intuitive trust in Liu Ye, and in just a few months, he had earned more than one million US dollars. This was a huge sum of money, a real huge sum of money!

Colt is now a little regretful. Why didn't he invest more money at the beginning? If he had known this would happen, he would have pooled all the cash from the two arms companies and made a fortune. His assets would have increased by at least one third, and he would have become one of the few super-rich people in the United States!

When the US government followed clues and found the company founded by Colt and Yung Wing, Colt took the blame with one sentence: "I did it, so what? Don't you see who the Northern government is relying on to start the war? Without the support of the munitions produced by my Colt Arms Company, how could you have held out against the Southern rebels for so long?"

Colt mobilized all the personal connections around him and finally took over the matter. As for Morgan, it was even more so. The strength of the Jewish consortium was definitely not to be underestimated. Even a small problem would not be difficult for the huge force behind Morgan.

Having succeeded in his attempt, Yung Wing was very satisfied with the financial team he had assembled in a short period of time. Suddenly, he thought, wouldn't he still face the dilemma of lacking talent after returning to China? If he could bring this team back with him, it would be a huge asset, and he would definitely be even more powerful!

Anyway, I am rich now and don’t care about these things. I can easily pay the salaries of more than 20 people, but the wealth they bring to Liu Ye will be immeasurable!

Yung Wing had made the decision without asking Liu Ye for permission. He made the decision directly. Except for three people who were unwilling to leave America, the other sixteen people all followed Yung Wing back to China. Before they arrived in China, Liu Ye had already received a telegram.

A great victory, with a net profit of more than four million taels of silver in one battle!

Such a huge profit made Liu Ye excited, let alone those shopkeepers? This is real profit, going into their own pockets! Oh my goodness, what kind of freak did our Futai find!
