Chapter 548: Terrorist Attack
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Eastern time, two civilian airliners hijacked by terrorists crashed into the One and Two World Trade Center buildings in New York, respectively.
The "9/11 Incident" that shocked the world was reported by the world's news media as quickly as possible. In his previous life, Masayoshi Kishimoto was still in high school. When he heard the news, his whole body was overjoyed.
At this time, Masayoshi Kishimoto's mobile phone, the phone in the president's office, and the phone in the secretary's office were ringing. His first reaction was not to answer the phone, but to quickly make an international call to Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who was far away in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
Kishimoto was afraid that he would jump out of the trench first with a machine gun in his arms like an officer leading the charge. This was not the time of the Argentine financial crisis.
I knew I would have to wait until the beginning of November. Although the "9/11 attacks" that have now erupted will have a negative impact on the world economy, it will be limited.
Kobayashi Qingzhi picked up the phone and said with excitement: "Is it for me to prepare for a full-scale attack?"
"No, never. I was afraid that you would do this, so I made this call to you personally. "Kishimoto is the railway.
Kobayashi Kiyoshi was suddenly a little confused. It stands to reason that this is the opportunity. The United States is one of the centers of the world economy, New York is one of the economic centers of the United States, and the World Trade Center complex in New York is one of the economic centers of New York. A terrorist attack there will inevitably have a negative impact on the world's economy.
"This is simply not enough to shake the economic supremacy of the United States. To be precise, the negative impact of a terrorist attack on the U.S. economy is quite limited. Even if the event spreads, it will gradually weaken this shock wave. ”
Kishimoto has long known that the economic losses suffered by the United States as a result of this terrorist attack in his country are $200 billion, equivalent to 2% of its GDP that year.
As for the world, that's about $1 trillion. Argentina does not have the largest share of the world's economy, and even if it is apportioned, it will not be much on its head.
Kobayashi Kiyoshi understood that the chairman did not mean to prepare himself for a full-scale attack, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged in his heart.
His originally elated tone became lazy: "I will continue to pay close attention to Argentina's national financial markets." ”
"Don't be in too much of a hurry. In my opinion, the time is not yet fully ripe, and we need to wait patiently for a while. Kishimoto reassured.
Kobayashi Qingzhi had no choice but to take the order: "Understood." ”
"Since you are a financial hero, there will inevitably be a time when you will be useful. Besides, you're one of my most powerful subordinates. Kishimoto encouraged.
Kobayashi Qingzhi felt a little better in his heart, after all, he was fully affirmed by the president. I started this project from the beginning of this year to the middle of the year, and it took a lot of time and energy to get into it, a full nine months.
So far, there hasn't been much gain. However, if the president is very resolute and does not terminate such a project, then he will not be able to get out. He had to continue to carry out the president's latent strategic intentions.
"Praise it. "Kobayashi Kiyoshi is really not being modest at the moment, but he feels that his personal performance this year is completely unbright.
"You're smart, so I won't say more. "Kishimoto naturally understands what it means to sound a drum without a hammer. After he had finished what he had to say, he hung up the international call.
At this time, Ryosuke Natsume saw that he couldn't get through to the president's phone, so he hurriedly left his office and ran to meet the other party in person.
"The twin towers of the World Trade Center in the United States were knocked down by planes hijacked by terrorists. Ryosuke Natsume was straightforward.
"I already know. Masayoshi Kishimoto blurted out.
"Tomorrow morning, the stock market on our side is bound to fall. Ryosuke Natsume said bluntly.
Kishimoto did not have the slightest nervousness. He recognized Ryosuke Natsume's common-sense judgment.
"What are you going to do?" Kishimoto knew that the reason why he came here was that the acquisition of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House by the Hard Gold Group had not yet been completed.
"I may have been too cold. I owe a lot of credit to that group of terrorists. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been negatively affected by the United States.
The most difficult major shareholder of the Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House should have succumbed! Just before I came to you, the other party made a special phone call.
If he hadn't sold to us at today's stock market closing price, he wouldn't have been able to sell it at that price tomorrow morning. The next thing to happen is that there will be a recession.
The shares of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House in his hand missed the best time to sell. I want to push his price a little more. Ryosuke Natsume said seriously.
"Since I have entrusted this matter to you, it is my absolute trust and affirmation of you. If you want to make a price reduction, you should have a good discussion with Ueji Ida, not me. At this stage, you are the first person in charge, and he is the second person in charge. "Kishimoto is not in a hurry or slow.
Ryosuke Natsume understood what the other party meant. The president does not care, but shows that the other party will not interfere with the attitude, that is, full trust in himself.
Before that, the chairman gave himself a bottom line for the purchase price. As long as it does not exceed the bottom line of the purchase price given by the other party, then it is a success.
If the bottom line of that purchase price is exceeded, it does not mean that it will fail. It's just that I need to report to him before making a decision, and I have to explain a series of reasons.
If the president thinks this price increase is reasonable, then he will agree. Otherwise, there will be no consent. This means that you are not doing well or have failed.
Of course, the less money you use to do this, the more you can reflect your value and ability to the company.
"I know how to do it. Ryosuke Natsume smiled slightly.
"It's good to know. This terrorist attack is a very bad thing for some people. But for others, why not an opportunity?
Furthermore, nothing happens all year round, and it's not too boring? A boring world doesn't bring opportunities, but an interesting world brings opportunities.
The wise create opportunities, the strong seize opportunities, the weak wait for opportunities, and the fools miss opportunities. Kishimoto said meaningfully.
