The Astor Hotel Walldorf was originally two hotels.
The owners of the two hotels are cousins.
After completion, the two hotels were connected by a garden corridor of more than 300 meters and merged into one.
This hotel can still be opened for 20 years, and then it will be demolished and the famous Empire State Building will be built on it.
But at this time, this hotel was an excellent social place for New York's upper class, extremely luxurious.
After the hotel was completed, the Vanderbilt family, the steel and railroad kings, celebrated the opening of the hotel and held a charity ball. The New York Symphony Orchestra was hired to perform here, which was the first time for the social and philanthropic circles to hold celebrations and charity fund-raising activities in the hotel.
The hotel charity activities that the petty bourgeoisie were keen on in later generations started here.
It’s almost mid-September, and the flowers in the garden corridor are still in full bloom, with sparse shadows and subtle fragrance.
The walkers were feeling relaxed and happy when they heard a loud roar, "Why is Xiaona gone? Why don't you tell me about this heartless woman when Xiaona is gone?"
Edith Roosevelt awkwardly accepted the surprised glances coming and going.
She said angrily, "Keep your voice down, this is not how a gentleman should behave, it will disturb others."
She has never seen Zhao Chuanxin who never cared about other people's eyes like this. people.
Zhao Chuanxin ignored "My wife has run away, I don't give a damn about other people's feelings."
"You are really mad at me." Edith Roosevelt raised her voice slightly, "We I really wanted to find you, but I couldn't catch your figure at all. When she left, she was crying. You can make a queen miss you so much, and you will have no regrets in life."
She thought Zhao. The salary transfer will continue to mess around.
But Zhao Chuanxin turned around faster than turning the pages of a book, and the "sadness" on his face disappeared without a trace in a second.
He patted his forehead, "I almost forgot about the business. The Charles Baker who blackmailed you is hiding and can't find anyone. He must be afraid."
Zhao Chuanxin Gang She has three considerations.
The first is to form an alliance between the two parties, and he must show some degree of sincerity.
The second reason is because of Wilhelmina, who is ruthless but not ruthless and cannot let Charles Baker, that son of a bitch, damage the Queen's reputation.
The third thing is that Zhao Chuanxin did it intentionally and wanted to make the matter bigger, so that Edith Roosevelt would gradually be tied to him, and he would be trapped in a quagmire that would be difficult to extricate himself from.
He has a grudge against Da Luo.
So he wants to set a trap for Edith Roosevelt, and then he can use this to threaten Ronaldo.
After all, forming an alliance with the "Butcher of the Far East" is an unacceptable scandal for Ronaldo. If they work together to do something extraordinary, the shackles will become infinitely heavier.
Of course, the abacus was very loud, and the most embarrassing thing was not catching anyone.
"This is an acceptable result." Edith Roosevelt sighed.
“Yes.Yes, Edie, as long as you can accept it. "Zhao Chuanxin turned into a playful smile again.
Somehow, Edith Roosevelt got angry when she saw him like this.
She gritted her teeth, "Is there something else you haven't told me? "I"
"Look at what you said." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, "Edie, you have to know that I am devoted to you wholeheartedly and will not mess around outside. I have no secrets." "
""Edith Roosevelt felt that talking to Zhao Chuanxin would easily drive her crazy.
It was clear that nothing happened between the two.
Passers passing by gave her ambiguous looks
The story the old lady and the spirited young man had to tell
This made her confused. .
"Shut up," yelled Edith Roosevelt, "I ask you, what the hell are you doing on Wall Street? Jesse Livermore and Thomas Lawson, two notorious traders, are doing it for you. You should do the right thing."
Zhao Chuanxin's heart skipped a beat, but he said stubbornly, "Edie, I don't know what you are talking about. You have wronged me. "
"Haha, in that case, well, I have some friendship with J Morgan, so I'll remind him. ”
John Pierpont Morgan and John Rockefeller are both the most dazzling beings of this era, and they have mixed reputations.
This guy is the king of Wall Street, stomping his feet and shaking Wall Street. Shocked.
He had previously threatened to boycott Jesse Livermore, which caused Zhao Chuanxin to start anew and let Thomas Lawson take the lead.
Now Zhao Chuanxin is really in a hurry.
He stepped forward and grabbed Edith Roosevelt's hand. "Edie, you must not do this."
In the distance, the chief secret service agent responsible for guarding Edith Roosevelt. Seeing this, his eyes widened.
Zhuo
What is going on?
The First Lady is having an affair with Zhao Chuanxin
Yi. Diss Roosevelt was also anxious, "Let go, let go quickly."
As he said this, he looked guiltily from the corner of his eyes to both sides.
Zhao Chuanxin held her hand tightly. Playing a rogue "As long as you promise me not to get involved, I will let go, otherwise I will hold your hand and grow old together with you"
"You" Edith Roosevelt said angrily, "Okay, I promise you. "
"Haha" Zhao Chuanxin then let go. "Come, let's sit on the bench over there. ”
Edith Roosevelt stamped his feet and complied.
“I can ignore it, but you must tell me clearly what you want to do”
< p>Wall Street is a gathering place for investors and entrepreneurs, promoting the development of American industry and commerce, capital accumulation and economic prosperity.Edith Roosevelt attached great importance to this.
Zhao Chuanxin. Secretly looking around cautiously, he said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, that's it, I bought some stocks. Then let them raise the price as high as possible and then sell it to make a small profit.already. "
Edith Roosevelt narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Is this really the case?"
She vaguely felt that the matter was not as simple as Zhao Chuanxin said.
"It's absolutely true, Edie, with the love between the two of us, how could I lie to you and lie to you? It would hurt my heart. "
Edith Roosevelt had a big head. "Ah, okay, okay, don't say any more. I hope you won't do anything inappropriate. ”
Judging from a series of appearances, what Zhao Chuanxin said does seem to be the truth.
Even if he manipulates the stock price, it is on a small scale, so it is insignificant.
< p>Although the agricultural harvest in 1907 was not as good as the bumper harvest in 1906, there were no crop failures and no other natural disasters.Edith Roosevelt did not have the ability to predict the future, so it cannot be counted as a cause. Financial crisis caused by "man-made disaster"
At this time, the chief secret service agent took out his pocket watch and walked over.
For ordinary people, the garden corridor is a strange place. An excellent place for walking.
But it will make Zhao Chuanxin feel insecure because it is closed.
He said to Edith Roosevelt, “Let’s change the location. "
Edith Roosevelt complied.
Zhao Chuanxin sat down again, felt the warmth of the chair, and said with a smile, "Edie, your butt is so warm. ”
Just in time, the chief secret service agent who came heard these words.
He only felt that his scalp was numb and his hairs stood up.
This Did you come to this conclusion after experiencing it?
As soon as Edith Roosevelt sat down, her body trembled, and she happened to see the expression of the chief secret service agent who came over.
I can't help it, my heart. I'm about to get sick
The chief secret service agent stepped forward bravely: "Madam, the time is up, we have to take the train to Albany. "
Zhao Chuanxin saw the nervous look on the chief secret service agent's face. He was also an old friend.
He first greeted the chief secret service agent, and then exaggeratedly said, "What? Edie, are you going to leave me too? My life is so miserable."
Edith Roosevelt retreated. "Be well. We will keep in touch at any time. Don't mess around. ”
She was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would mess up.
But Zhao Chuanxin said affectionately, “Okay, Edie, when you go back, you must remember that substitute in the heavy rain.” The person who holds your umbrella, holds your legs in the dark, chats with you all night long, rides with you in the car, takes you wandering around the garden corridor, and misses you all the time is of course me. ”
Well, these are indeed things that really happened. For example, during dinner, Zhao Chuanxin kicked her at each other under the table.
That night, the two of them did After saying a few words, Zhao Chuanxin saw through her body
The two of them did ride in the car together and took a walk on the garden corridor today.
But these things are still there. Zhao Chuanxin's mouth changed.
The chief secret service agent put his head away.When I saw it, I wanted to bury my head in the flower soil on the corridor.
Zhao Chuanxin laughed, turned around and left.
Marcus Nkrumah was watching the horses outside. When he saw Zhao Chuanxin coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, where are we going?"
Zhao Chuanxin said calmly, "Return A trip home."
He was going back to North Tarrytown to bring his apprentice Benjamin Goldberg to New York to meet John Browning.
After all, I promised him to let him see his "team".
The two rode horses through downtown New York.
While passing by a dock on the Hudson River, Zhao Chuanxin saw two people arguing. His face turned red and his neck became thick.
He likes to join in the fun and unconsciously lets Mishan get close and eavesdrop.
"Fake, don't ask for your deposit back. I transported these crayfish all the way and you don't want them now. Who am I going to sell them to?"
"Man, listen. I'm quibbling, no, let me explain, last time it was because a customer wanted to eat it, and I thought it would be easy to sell, but it turned out that New Yorkers didn't recognize this kind of food at all because it was too small."
"Me. I can’t control that much, anyway, the deposit cannot be refunded.”
When Zhao Chuanxin heard the crayfish, he leaned over and took a look into the barrel curiously.
It’s really a crayfish, not many died, but still alive and kicking.
"Hey" he interrupted, "Where did this crayfish come from?"
The man said, "It came from Louisiana."
Zhao Zhuan Xin got off his horse, reached into the bucket and fished out one. The crayfish was very big, and he was eager to turn over in Zhao Chuan Xin's hands. He bared his teeth and claws to clamp Zhao Chuan Xin's fingers.
Due to the influence of extreme weather in later generations, crayfish in the southern United States became smaller and smaller, and were not as big as they are now.
He threw the crayfish into the bucket and asked, "How to sell crayfish?"
After hearing this, the two looked at Zhao Chuanxin in surprise.
This thing is not easy to get rid of in New York.
"Sir, this is cheaper than oysters. For every dozen, I have divided them into categories. Large ones cost 2 cents, medium ones cost 15 cents, and small ones cost 1 cent."
Zhao Chuanxin almost thought he heard wrongly.
The purchasing power of 1 cent at this time is equivalent to about $0.28 in future generations.
If converted into the currency of the 1920s, the price of a pound of large crayfish would be only 3 yuan.
