Chapter Eighty-Three: The Flames of War
UTC+2, 3:30 p.m.
The Helkisin index was fixed at 878 points, down 3.5 percent.
Red, full of blood red color, the numbers composed on the LCD screen, as if with blood mist, dazzling and vivid.
Finance, a term that is far away from ordinary people.
In the eyes of people who are not in contact with finance, it has nothing to do with themselves at all, and even if they talk about it occasionally, they will only think that those are just a bunch of neurotic deception tricks sitting in a skyscraper, no matter what kind of gimmick those people use to deceive, as long as they do not participate, they will definitely not lose.
Loss?
That's just an IQ tax paid by idiots.
Is that really the case?
Unfortunately, history has proved that this non-production industry has long been related to every industry and everyone.
The collapse of the US stock market from 1929 to 1933 and later spread throughout the capitalist world, not only led to long-term mass unemployment, but also changed social relations, destroyed the ruling government, and eventually led to the outbreak of World War II.
The shock of the financial market will inevitably affect the economy, and the economic cycle will also be related to the high ground of the unemployment rate, and incomplete statistics have calculated that when the unemployment rate rises by 1 percent, every second, 40,000 people will die because of this.
Walt?
Isn't that?
It's a pity that this is a fact.
The economic downturn will inevitably be accompanied by chaos in law and order, and the rise in the unemployment rate will also lead to frequent crimes. People can't afford to eat, they can't afford to see a doctor, they shoot people, they kill people in love, they crash and commit suicide, and they bring hell.
There is a children's rhyme that is sung in New York.
Mei Long rang the whistle, and Hoover rang the bell. Wall Street signals that America is rushing to hell!
The Great Depression, triggered by the collapse of the U.S. stock market, stunned the number of bankruptcies of l09,371 companies, the net profit of private companies fell from $8.4 billion in 1929 to $3.4 billion in 1932, and the total index of industrial production fell by 53.8 percent from 1929. By March 1933, there were 17 million completely unemployed workers in the United States, including countless semi-unemployed workers. The cash income of the peasants fell from $162 to $48 a year, and about 1,019,300 peasants went bankrupt and became tenant farmers.
The number of people who died because of unemployment and bankruptcy is as high as hundreds of thousands.
However, for ordinary people, it is not even known what the reason for all this is.

The fall in the price of securities means that countless wealth has been evaporated in the fall, it means that the assets of countless investors are shrinking rapidly, it means that many companies will go bankrupt because of this, and it means that the financial crisis has arrived.
His eyes were full of blood, reflecting Shen Jiannan's eyes red, looking at the still plate, he grabbed a cigarette and hung it on his mouth.
Wipe!
Seeing that Shen Jiannan's expression seemed to be a little wrong, Yulia Sidorov lit the fire and brought it over.
Smack!
Shen Jiannan lit the cigarette, stood up, and walked to the glass curtain wall of the office step by step.
The green glass is clean and clear, and you can clearly see the sea surface of the Gulf of Finland not far away, with blue skies and white clouds and blue seas. Looking down again, pedestrians and vehicles have become very small in the field of vision, looking down from the sky, like swarms of ants running on the ground.
Whew-
A hint of pity appeared in Shen Jiannan's eyes, and he gently exhaled the smoke that had been swimming in his lungs for a week.
The Helkissin index has fallen by 50 percent in one year, the number of unemployed people has exceeded 160,000, and death and crime are no longer new in the newspapers and on television.
It's terrible, it's sympathetic.
Perhaps sensing Shen Jiannan's mood swings, Yulia Sidorov walked behind him, stretched out her arms and hugged him, soft and proudly clinging to his back, as if trying to warm his body and mind.
"My dear. Are you blaming yourself for yesterday's news?"
A lumberjack collapsed due to unemployment, hacked his wife and children to death, and committed suicide.
After the news broke, the trade unions strongly condemned the inaction of the Finnish government and launched mass demonstrations demanding that the central bank implement a new monetary policy as soon as possible to save the economy from collapse.
This is the sad story of a brother.
The poor are always unwittingly victimized.
The lumberjack, who may never have touched the financial industry for the rest of his life, became the corpse of the collapse of the financial market.
But blame yourself?
The corners of Shen Jiannan's mouth raised, what does this have to do with him. If there is, maybe it's just a little condemnation from the depths of human nature.
It's just that the way of heaven is like this, and there is no loss where to make up for it.
Everything, as it should be.
Taking another puff of cigarette, Shen Jiannan pressed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and when his dark eyes looked downstairs again, he was already indifferent.
With a reason, the guy suddenly felt at ease, threw away the cigarette butt casually, and pushed Yulia's elastic body against the glass with his backhand.
"My dear. Look at the weather, is it beautiful?"
“......”
The sun-scorched glass was slightly hot, and she was pulled from behind and pressed her arms against the glass, and as her skin touched the glass, Yulia's petite body instinctively tilted back.
Convex and exquisite, trying to avoid the hot glass, the skin like snow is smooth and delicate, the petite body is delicate and there is no fat, a long golden hair exudes golden glow in the sun, as she struggles, like a goddess from heaven.
When she met those dark eyes, her eyes were full of resentment, and her red lips were biting her teeth.
"Shen. You owe me 50 billion. Plus $50 billion in fines, plus $50 billion in interest. ”
"Oh my God. You're greedy. ”
"You want to pay off?"
"How dare I. ”
"Then now, I'll pay back the interest first, no, pay the late fee first. ”
“......”
At some point, the sun was already setting in the west.
The sunlight no longer shines brightly, and it floats on the surface of the sea, and the reddish color has a pleasing beauty to the eye.
After paying hundreds of millions of late fees for breach of contract and solving his psychological sense of debt, Shen Jiannan's mood suddenly became stable.
rkka,4.2092.
Letting Yulia do the aftermath of the fine settlement work, Shen Jiannan took a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the Finnish Mark on the computer and pondered.
Finland's initial foreign exchange reserves were about $6 billion, but with the Bundesbank's successive interest rate hikes, many Finns took their money and went to Germany and deposited it in German banks.
The outflow of liquid capital, due to the continuous decline of the Finnish stock market and the halving of real estate prices, has also accelerated, and at least half of Finland's foreign exchange reserves have been consumed in one year.
Today, the Bank of Finland is under tremendous pressure from public opinion, and I believe that they will be tempted to have a little more pressure on them to make a choice.
Shh
Spit out the filtered smoke, Shen Jiannan grabbed the encrypted phone on the table and dialed it out.
Dudu –
Two times later, William's voice came through the earpiece.
"Hello. I'm William. ”
"It's me. ”
“boss。 It's so intimate to hear your voice, and it's so magnetic that it's refreshing. ”
"William. You're working on it now?"
"Change the subject, change the subject. makes me feel like I'm going to vomit. ”
“......”
“......”
After some idle talk, Shen Jiannan's tone was solemn and he got down to business.
"William. I expect that the Bank of Finland is now running out of foreign exchange reserves. ”
"Now, it's our chance. Tomorrow, I'll be interviewed on TV. ”
“......”
"With our position in the Finnish mark, I believe there will be many pawns willing to be cannon fodder. ”
“......”
Knock Knock Knock –
Holding the phone, William's hand couldn't help shaking, and his heart beat violently like a drum.
He knew that this day would come, but when it came, it felt so sudden, so unacceptable.
Shock Finnish mark.
As if he hadn't woken up from a dream, William forgot to answer.
"I want you to be prepared to bring down the Bank of Finland and help them make the right choice. ”
