The Joseon Prince Went To America And Didn’t Return – 56



< Avoid it if you can (2) >

The stock price continued to move sideways until early April.

If you think it went up a little it goes down.

It went down a lot but then went up again.

“U.S. Steel stock is up 3% today. It looks like the share price will soon hit $5.”

“Boss! I know that kid has invested quite a bit in that stock.”

The Irish three brothers had short tempers.

That’s why he was sensitive to the daily stock price movements and reported the current situation to me in real time.

I just watched this quietly.

Because they weren’t specifically pointing a finger at Jesse Livermore.

“….”

At first Jesse Livermore also ignored the three brothers’ actions.

But as time passed and he also became a little more anxious he became sensitive to even small actions.

“It will come down. It will definitely come down.”

“It’s not coming down.”

“Oh it’s going to rain soon!”

Then eventually the Irish three brothers and Livermore fought.

I immediately called the three brothers in and shut them up.

It had to be blocked because it could have interfered with Jesse’s short investment.

“As I said before Your Majesty you must take your time and wait earnestly.”

I know. I know.

It’s you Livermore who’s impatient.

“eww….”

But the next day comes.

Shares of US Steel rose again.

The same goes for other stocks.

Livermore was so shocked by this that he didn’t say a word yet but he was clutching his head in pain.

“The analysis is perfect but why doesn’t the stock price go down?”

I walked up to Livermore and patted him on the shoulder.

“Have faith. Your analysis is perfect even to me.”

At my answer Livermore seemed to have found a solution so he jumped up and headed to the closet.

“Yes faith! This is because of lack of faith. Thank you Prince. I will pray in this room for the time being. Please do not disturb me.”

Livermore went into the room without a single thread on.

Then he began to pray without even drinking a glass of water.

My group was shocked by the unexpected and bizarre behavior.

“Praying while trading stocks? And with your bare body… Wow that kid seems completely out of his mind.”

Kaplan chimed in on Max’s words from the side.

“He’s a crazy kid. He’s a crazy kid.”

Aaron looked at me with a worried expression.

“Boss are you really okay? Can I really trust you?”

are you okay.

In this day and age who is better at trading than Livermore?

Even though his behavior may seem a bit strange he is said to be like Doctor Doom’s grandfather.

I’ve seen crazier guys than him so Livermore’s sudden antics didn’t really impress me.

‘There are so many crazy people in New York…’

On the New York Stock Exchange where hundreds of billions change hands every second there aren’t many people in their right mind who trade.

Even if you enter New York with your mind set you’ll quickly go crazy.

‘There are some who watch comics or anime while trading and there are also some who go home and have a heated argument with their lover.’

There are also people who secretly smoke marijuana or cocaine.

There are guys who wear women’s underwear on important option expiration days called “Witch’s Day” and there are people who go to the boxing gym during their lunch break and get beaten up.

anyway.

In my memory New York was a place full of all kinds of crazy people.

It wouldn’t be any different just because it was 100 years ago.

Because the world we live in is the same.

That guy who suddenly started shouting prayer meta was relatively well-behaved so I didn’t really mind.

“My prince. US steel has broken through $5.”

“Boss I think we’ve been screwed. The stock that kid invested in keeps going up.”

I bought it for $4 and it’s now $5 so I lost a bit of money.

‘I invested $1 million in the Livermore Trust. How much have I lost now….’

I’m a little uneasy but I intend to trust Jesse Livermore until the end.

Because I also knew that the general downward trend was happening.

‘Could it be that history changed because of me?’

well.

Rather I understand that because of me British insurance companies have been spending more gold which has caused the Bank of England to raise interest rates more sharply.

‘Have faith. I must not waver at this time.’

I am a regressor.

That you know future knowledge.

Should I write because I’m anxious?

“Your Majesty the stocks we invested in have finally started to fall.”

Two days passed like that.

The sky began to move.

“US Steel. Closing price today is 3.98.”

Giannini’s followers provided real-time stock price updates.

“Today alone it fell by more than 20%.”

“Boss what’s the reason? Why did it suddenly drop so much?”

bang-

That was when.

Jesse Livermore came out of the prayer room.

He checked the information brought by Giannini’s men with eyes full of joy.

“It fell because it was going to fall. It will continue to fall further. Look here. In addition to US Steel didn’t the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fall significantly?”

okay.

Didn’t today’s decline make up for all the losses up until now?

Livermore looked triumphantly at the Irish trio and told us about his next investment plan.

“This is just the beginning. We will invest by fully mobilizing this trust fund and leverage.”

* * *

Wow the stock price starts to go down and it falls sharply.

The Dow which was at 95 points at the beginning of the year fell to 80 points in just three days.

Some stocks fell even more sharply than the index average.

“Wow… It dropped 45% today alone.”

One of the five stocks Livermore invested in has already lost half its value.

‘I made a hundred thousand dollars today.’

I can really feel that we have entered a bear market.

That was when.

thud-

Suddenly the sound of a sack of flour falling was heard outside.

Our group felt something strange and opened the window to check the situation outside.

“Jesus….”

“Oh Prince. Don’t look at me.”

“What’s going on? No….”

I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.

A guest living in a hotel took his own life with his own hands.

The police showed up and he was able to hear the reason for his suicide through them. As expected the stocks fell sharply so he became pessimistic and took his own life.

I prayed for his soul to rest in peace but at the same time I started to get a little worried.

Because I felt like this situation was going to turn out to be a bit more serious than I thought.

‘The actual game hasn’t even started yet.’

As far as I know yes.

The financial panic of 1907 may not have lasted as long as the Great Depression of 1929 but its impact was just as great.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average needs to hit 50 to be considered a low but isn’t it currently at 80?

I looked at Jesse Livermore with anxious eyes.

‘It’s like putting a can of oil into the hands of the Roman scoundrel Emperor Nero.’

I gave him a million dollars.

The first person in history to start with less than a hundred thousand dollars and make a million dollar profit was Jesse Livermore.

The fact that Morgan was so shocked that he locked up Livermore and half-threatened him must mean that he had a hand in causing the stock price to fall.

“Why is it temporarily closed today?”

“What do you do if you turn my money back?”

The banks were still intact.

But some banks are starting to show signs of trouble.

Or closing down without notice.

There should be a notice stating how much can be withdrawn per day.

‘No matter how much I think about it it seems like it’s much more dangerous than I thought.’

Is it okay to just sit here in New York and watch the fire?

If you watch the fire you might end up burning up and dying a glorious death.

I wonder what crime the New York leaders might frame me for in an attempt to appease the angry crowd.

‘I have a feeling I have a feeling’

I get a very strange feeling that I won’t be able to die if I stay here.

We have prepared several safety measures but they alone may not be enough.

My animal instincts were signaling danger so I quickly started to research my next plan.

‘I have to get out of New York. I’ll have half the fun just by not being in the city.’

Of course I couldn’t just leave.

If you leave this city in the middle of the night no one will look at you with suspicion.

Anyone who sees it has to sympathize with the author that he has to leave New York because he has work to do.

That way there won’t be any problems later.

‘The best course of action would be for me to leave this city for the sake of the country.’

No matter what anyone says I am a prince of Joseon.

In this era the prince is a living diplomat.

Who could blame me for leaving New York to do my job?

While I was thinking about it for a while Max suddenly came into my room.

“Boss Mister Ahn is here in New York. I’m looking for Boss urgently. What should I do?”

Mr. Ahn?

Dosan Ahn Chang-ho came to see me?

No why him?

I quickly called Ahn Chang-ho to my room.

“Dosan.”

“Your Majesty the King.”

The real Ahn Chang-ho was in New York.

“Why did you come all the way here when you should be in San Francisco?”

I took a quick look around.

Standing next to him was a strange oriental man a very young-looking young man.

hmm.

He seems to be dressed in a classy manner and he maintains his composure even in front of me; I can tell he came from a wealthy family.

While I was scanning the stranger Dosan opened his mouth.

“I had to rush all the way to New York because something urgent came up. Ahem.”

After saying that Ahn Chang-ho turned his gaze to the person next to him and coughed in vain.

I too followed his gaze and looked at the face of the unfamiliar guest.

“Your Majesty this is a man named Yi Wi-jong. He is a young man who speaks foreign languages ​​very fluently.”

As the son of Lee Beom-jin the Korean Empire’s ambassador to Russia he is said to have mastered seven languages ​​at a young age perhaps because he had been living abroad since childhood.

“I came all the way from Hanyang to deliver this to Your Majesty the King.”

It’s not like good talent immigrated to America and brought them here.

As expected….

“Your Majesty’s secret message. Please accept it.”

It’s just as I expected.

‘Hey you bastard! You used me properly last time when you rescued Mexican citizens… Did you get a taste of it?’

You might have thought this way before.

But not now.

It was like a very strong rope coming down from the sky.

Knock knock knock-

My heart is pounding.

Because it seemed like it contained a secret to escaping New York.

‘Attend the International Peace Conference and let the world know about the injustice of the Eulsa Treaty?’

The three Irish brothers escorting me looked quite curious as they watched me reading the secret letter.

He left for Mexico before but now he has a look on his face as if he is wondering where he should go next.

After I finished reading Gojong’s secret letter I handed it back to Yi Wi-jong without saying anything.

Then Yi Wi-jong took a lighter out of his pocket and burned Gojong’s secret letter destroying the evidence.

“Everyone pack your bags.”

“yes?”

“I told you to pack your bags.”

The Irish three brothers quickly left my room.

Giannini who had been watching the scene from afar came toward me to see what was going on.

“Where are you going in a hurry?”

“Something came up. I have to cross the Atlantic Ocean urgently.”

“Are you European?”

Giannini looked regretful and tried to head towards the room where he had been tied up.

“Oh you stay. Stay here and practice advanced financial techniques with Livermore.”

“but….”

“It will be of great help to you. The series of events that will unfold in the future will not happen easily. It will be a valuable experience so stay here in New York.”

Giannini asked me with a skeptical look on his face.

“So just tell me your destination. Where are you going? Europe is big.”

“I think I’ll probably head to the Netherlands.”

“The Netherlands?”

In the Netherlands one third of the land was below sea level due to reclamation.

So isn’t the national name also Netherlands?

“I have an urgent meeting to attend. I’ll stop by and come back later so you stay in New York.”
