After leaving the exchange, Li Zixuan said to J.C. Fuguo,
"Can I ask Mr. Fuguo for a favor?"”
"Please speak, Mr. Bruce!" J. C. Fukugo said.
Therefore, Li Zixuan whispered a few words into J. C. Fuguo's ear.
Then, the latter nodded with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.
"Okay, this is no problem, but I hope Mr. Bruce will take care of Fuguo's business in the future.”
"Of course, I also hope to cooperate with a big company like Fuguo Company and gain Mr. Fuguo's friendship!”
Then, the two of them got into their respective carriages and left.
Next, it was just like signing in to get the graph of the Chicago Trade.
The price of wheat and other grains began to rise rapidly in May and June.
In the face of such a good price situation, the entire Chicago Board of Trade was bustling with activity every day.
Countless people came to the exchange with cash and invested their life savings.
Every minute, every hour, every day.
The recorder would write the new transaction price on the blackboard of the exchange.
Seeing the rising price, everyone went crazy.
The owner of the horse-drawn carriage store, W.H. Niebuhr, had invested more than a million dollars in the futures market. As the price of grain continued to rise,
he naturally profited handsomely.
However, humans were like this. The more they got, the greedier they became.
He wasn't satisfied with being a millionaire. He wanted to become a multimillionaire like J.C. Fukugo, to
become one of the top people in the country and be respected.
Therefore, when a manager of the rich country company told him that he could take out a mortgage,
he did not hesitate to mortgage his carriage shop, his villa in San Francisco, and even a farm in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin-Arizona.
He borrowed 1.3 million dollars and invested all of it in the futures market.
As he watched his wealth grow every day, Mr. Niebuhr would bring his French chick to the Chicago Board of Trade all day long.
Here, he had already become a well-known celebrity.
"Mr. Niebuhr, how much do you think the price of wheat will increase this month?”
"It will definitely increase by more than 30%!”
"Mr. Niebuhr, I heard that you've already made a profit of more than a million dollars. May I ask what's the secret of your wealth?？”
"Buy, buy, buy. Believe me, as long as you buy the futures, you can make money!”
"Mr. Niebuhr…What do you want to say the most now?"
Hearing this, Mr. Niebuhr, who was holding the French girl in his arms, raised his head with a cigar in his mouth and arrogantly raised his finger.
"Chinese kid, you're done for. Hahahaha!”
Soon, the photo of Li Zixuan with his finger up was published in a local tabloid newspaper.
This discriminative newspaper specially gave W.H. Niebuhr a front page and even wrote about Li Zixuan's food shortage.
The newspaper did not hide the fact that Li Zixuan would suffer a huge failure if he sold the grain, and all his wealth would be reduced to ashes.
At the same time, the newspaper praised W.H. Niebuhr's vision of wealth.
Just buy, buy, buy!
At this moment, in Chicago Kona Grand Hotel.
Li Zixuan had just taken a Turkish bath and was enjoying a massage.
The lawyer, Bob, who was wearing a bathrobe, smiled and flipped through the tabloid newspaper. He said,
"Boss, do we need to sue this newspaper?”
"Don't worry about this. You're just courting death!”
"
I'm going to finish the contract by the middle of July!" Li Zixuan instructed while enjoying the massage.”
Hearing this, Alan, Tom, Bob, and the others in the room nodded at the same time.
Because there were too many contracts worth more than 12 million USD involving ten types,
it was impossible for Li Zixuan to deliver all of them at once. Otherwise, it would cause a violent fluctuation in the price of grain.
In order to obtain the greatest benefits possible, they had to deliver the goods in batches.
At the end of June, the futures prices would gradually be sold off.
"Next, it's time to prepare for the National Rifle Shooting Competition!”
Li Zixuan thought as he enjoyed the massage.
Tomorrow, Elton Burnside, the second president of the National Rifle Association, would come to Chicago.
This time, he was invited by Li Zixuan.
Speaking of Elton Burnside, one had to mention his half-brother, Amber Everrett Burnside.
He was a famous general in the north during the Eagle State's Civil War. At the same time, he invented a carbine with a breech.
He served as governor of Rhode Island from 1866 to 1869, as a member of the Eagle State's Senate from 1874 to 1881, and as the commander-in-chief of the Republic's army in 1874.
At the same time, he was also the founder of the National Rifle Association and the first president of the association.
However, Senator Burnside died of illness last year.
His younger brother, Elton Burnside, took over as the president of the National Rifle Association.
This time, the Lee Browning Weapons Company sponsored the National Rifle Association's National Rifle Shooting Competition.
For the association, it was definitely a good opportunity to expand its reputation.
After all, the National Rifle Association, which had just been established for ten years, was not the behemoth that even the president could not shake.
In this era, the association was only a relatively well-known organization in the state of virginia.
Therefore, when Lee Browning Weapons Company approached the association and explained their intentions, they were shocked.
Elton Burnside, the chairman of the board, agreed without hesitation.
