October 19, 1987.

The sun is shining over New York, the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and justice, is bathed in the rising sun, and the financial elite from all over the world has started a new day's work, and the streets of Wall Street are still as busy and orderly as ever.

Robert is the owner of a feed company, compared to Wall Street's billion-dollar deals, Robert's company is really small, only worth tens of millions of dollars, before the company went public, due to insufficient liquidity, Robert's company often fell into operational difficulties.

The monthly income can only maintain the daily operation of the company, and sometimes in order not to owe employees wages, he has to frugal and tighten his belt to live, such "poor days" he has had enough, so he has been looking forward to his company to go to market in the morning.

In this way, he can raise money from the stock market, which will not only improve the company's situation, but also allow the company to grow rapidly.

In order to achieve this goal, Robert poured his heart and soul into the company.

I work every day in the morning and return late every day, but the pace of the company's development is difficult due to the downturn of the US economy.

Many times even he thought he couldn't support it.

At that time, he would keep cursing the society, cursing the US government, and in the end, he didn't even let go of his most respectful God.

Finally, he discovers that God has not abandoned him, and the company has taken a turn for the better.

After Reagan came to power, he implemented a series of economic measures. Suddenly, it seemed to inject a shot in the arm into the long-dormant US economy.

The sluggish and lifeless U.S. economy quickly regained new vitality.

And Robert's company also followed the general trend of economic recovery in the United States and slowly began to become active. He felt he should be thankful to Reagan.

≧≧≧≧, itβ†–was Reagan who put the company back on the verge of collapse.

And in just a few years, he grew from Washington-Don to the southern state of Texas, and he and his family lived a more affluent life than before.

If Reagan were standing in front of him now, he felt that he would not hesitate to kiss each other's feet, like a fanatical religious.

The growth of the company made him quickly touch the dream he had once had, and he received a notice from the management committee of the enterprise to do his best to list the company.

The day he received the notice was definitely the happiest moment of Robert's life, not one of them.

Thinking that his company would be able to raise a large amount of money after going public, he was very insomnia and tossed and turned in bed all night.

Fantasizing about all sorts of wonderful scenes.

The next day, Robert couldn't wait to hand over the approval materials to the enterprise management committee, although there were some twists and turns in the middle.

But a qiΔ“ is still smooth, first approved through guΓ², and then officially listed.

In less than a week, the company raised nearly 50 million yuan, which exceeded his previous expectations, and made him excited for a long time.

With the capital, the company's development is becoming smoother.

He already plans to push the market back into California on the West Coast, and as the company grows, so does its market capitalization.

At the same time, he also discovered more than his company.

The entire Nasdaq and Dow Jones inflows are skyrocketing, and he is not without doubts about such a seemingly unusual situation.

But when he saw that everyone was immersed in excitement.

Moreover, the federal government did not take relevant precautions, so he took it for granted that the federal government acquiesced and accepted the situation.

He even sees the situation as the United States as the world's number one power.

After the economic recovery, all the energy accumulated in the past few years exploded at once.

It was with this mentality that he handed over the day-to-day running of the company to his assistants, and all he did every day was to stay on the stock exchange.

Look at the red numbers that keep jumping on the screen.

"Dangdangdang" is remembered with the bell of the New York Stock Exchange, and a new day begins.

In the trading floor, the big screens were turned on for the first time.

Robert stared at the screen and saw that the red numbers were still beating on it, and he only thought that the best thing in the world was nothing more than that.

At this moment he thanked the federal government, thanked Reagan, thanked the God who had been cursed by him.

Thank you all.

The exchange was immediately filled with cheers, the stock market was rising, the stock market was still rising. In reality, however, not everyone is as optimistic as Robert.

Many people are also worried, worried that as soon as they wake up, everything will change, the stock market will no longer rise, and their wealth will be wiped out.

But it's clear that nothing has changed today.

The fact that the stock market is still rising means that their wealth continues to grow, and it will never be slower than the Fed is printing money.

Robert was really excited, and he desperately needed someone to share his joy with him.

He immediately thought of the star he had just adopted a few days ago, and he couldn't wait to pick up his mobile phone.

But when he finished pressing the number, the expression on his face froze in an instant.

A moment ago, it was a red screen, but all of a sudden, as if it had been enchanted by an evil magician, turned almost all green.

On the largest screen in the middle, a row of large green characters is clearly displayed:

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 76. ”

It was also at this time that the exchange resounded one after another, with exclamations of disbelief.

The voice from the mobile phone Robert was unconscious, his eyes stared blankly at the screen in front of him, he was really dumbfounded at this moment.

A haze that had been suppressed by joy suddenly rose to my heart.

Decades of experience in stock trading told him that this may be just the beginning, because there has never been such a full-fledged decline before.

After a brief moment of distraction, he thought of something and quickly ran towards the exchange's telephone.

He had to sell all the stocks he held in the shortest possible time, but unfortunately he could think of it, and others could think of it too.

The telephones and trading windows were crowded with people.

It was obviously too late to make a phone call, but at this time he still maintained the last of his senses, and after a little hesitation, he rushed out of the exchange.

He's going back to the company ready for the worst.

Maybe he can run away with the more than 10 million cash that the company has just received.

It's still falling!

Like a river that has opened the floodgates, there is no sign of stopping at all, and at this time the exchange is already in chaos, and everyone has lost their square inch at this moment.

They don't know what they're supposed to do.

The only thing I can think of is to sell all my stocks, yes, sell all my stocks, so that I can reduce my losses.

It's a pity that there are too many people.

Even if all the telephones were working almost non-stop, and even if all the traders' hands were numb, most of them still had no time to escape.

"It's over, it's all over, my two million, it's all over. ”

"I'm finished, how can this be, how can it be ......"

"This qiΔ“ is all fake, the stock market is obviously still rising, no, no, it can't be like this, yes, yes, this qiΔ“ is fake. ”

"Oh God, why are you so cruel, that's my life's savings. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

All kinds of heart-rending cries filled the entire exchange.

Every numerical jump on the screen is a sign that their wealth is rapidly draining, nay, not just their wealth, but their lives.

I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes looking up at the screen.

He turned his head to look at the trading window, which was completely surrounded by the crowd, and laughed miserably, not so long ago, he was still dreaming of a bright future.

But now, it's all over.

In desperation, he staggered towards the outside of the exchange, which was across the street from New York's largest gun dealer.

……

On this day, the whole of the United States was clouded, and almost all stocks were falling.

And the United States, the world's largest economy, is like dominoes, and stocks around the world are starting to fall with it.

The whole world was in a panic all at once, could it be that the "Great Depression" is coming again?

This is the biggest doubt in everyone's minds,

But it's so much more terrifying than thatβ€”

Just after the afternoon, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Carl Fox spoke in Washington-Don about the stock market crash.

At the end of his speech, he stated:

"At a critical moment, although we don't know when this critical moment will be, I will discuss with the stock exchange the temporary closure of the exchange. ”

As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused an even greater panic.

Because once the stock exchange is closed, the stock holders will not have time to sell their shares in the future, which means that their shares will become worthless.

Maybe even toilet paper will be worth more than it.

So the panic selling began on a wider scale, and countless people cried and shouted, just to be able to sell their stocks as much as possible.

At the end of the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell .6%, the highest drop in a day.

Other indices in the stock market also suffered heavy losses.

For example, the New York Stock Exchange's composite price index fell by 19.%.

The market value of the Nasdaq Composite Index fell by the same magnitude as France's GDP for the whole year.

That is, the equivalent of $500 billion in wealth has evaporated......

As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few are sad, when the whole world is anxious because of the stock market crash, Wei Xiong is excitedly harvesting wealth.

The day before the crash.

He used the leverage rule to magnify the 600 million US dollars in his hand by 0 billion, and the 50 times leverage was a decision made by Wei Xiong with great determination.

Even Gu Guofu was a little frightened.

Know that the higher the leverage, the greater the risk.

If the stock market crash does not happen as Wei Xiong expected, the $600 million prepared by Wei Xiong may be lost in ten minutes.

But if you win...... He couldn't even imagine what a huge number it was.

The first day of the stock market crash.

According to Wei Xiong's previous deployment, Gu Guofu shorted all the $0 billion that had already been distributed in the market and interest rate futures.

Because if a stock market crash occurs, the Fed will inevitably make corresponding moves in order to save the stock market.

Although these actions may not have much effect.

Sure enough, not long after the stock market fell, the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut to speed up the liquidity of stock market funds, in an attempt to slow down the decline of stocks.

However, this action happened to fall into Wei Xiong's arms.

Then he shorted the interest rate futures early, and the 0 billion US dollars swelled wildly in a short period of time under Gu Guofu's shocked and incredulous gaze.

As early as the moment the stock market began to fall, Gu Guofu knew that he was wrong.

The stock market crash really happened, just as Wei Xiong described it without warning, and he was sure that at that moment he saw the aura of God in Wei Xiong.

Whether it's a mystical prophecy.

It is still an accurate prediction made after market analysis, and the original respect for the boss has risen to the height of worship in an instant.

When the Fed announces the news of a rate cut.

His heart beat rapidly and rapidly, exactly as Wei Xiong had predicted, and he felt like he was going crazy, and the blood began to gather in his face under the physiological effect.

If someone were to talk to him now, Wei Xiong was God, and he would believe it.

Thankfully, he kept his head above water and knew that now was not the time to express his feelings.

Hurry up and command eight equally excited traders to operate according to the plan, and the whole day, everyone spent the whole day in excitement.

The original $0 billion at the time of entering the market nearly quadrupled by the time the market closed, and $0 billion suddenly became $10 billion.

Definitely faster than the Fed can print money.

The series of zeros in the account is true.

After a moment of silence, the office erupted in loud cheers, and they won, albeit in a somewhat unbelievable way.

But they really won.

Everyone lifted Wei Xiong high and threw him up, and they needed to vent the excitement in their hearts, because they had witnessed the birth of a miracle themselves.

At the same time, they thought that such an unprecedented victory would be a sign that they would receive a huge commission.

That's the real benefit.

However, Gu Guofu looked a little lost after being happy.

He missed one of the best opportunities to make a fortune, and Wei Xiong had allowed him to run his own money with the company's funds, but he refused.

There is an old Chinese saying that 'regret makes the intestines green'.

That's how he felt right now, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth a few times.

If he invests his worth of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Now he can get at least tens of millions of dollars in return.

Looking at this qiΔ“ from the side, Ouyang Yalan, who was silent, also widened her eyes at this time, with an incredible expression, the boss really succeeded!

More than $100 billion, how much is that?

She even thought that she was not dreaming, otherwise how could it be so unreal.

At this time, Wei Xiong was put down, and he was also very excited, but he was the boss and had to set an example.

He pressed his hand towards the crowd:

"Everyone, be quiet, the war is not over, I hope you can rest well tonight, there are new challenges waiting for us tomorrow. ”

That's the case, but who can really calm down in this situation.

Wei Xiong smiled, no more, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he and Ouyang Yalan planned to go back to the hotel, but at this time he just forcibly hid the excitement in his heart.

He needed to go back and vent a bit.

When he walked out of the office, Gu Guofu chased after him.

He knew what Gu Guofu was thinking, and he was in a good mood, so he didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he took the lead: "Guofu, you don't need anything." ”

"What I said the day before yesterday is still valid, so you have to take advantage of it this time. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. ”

According to industry regulations, traders cannot operate their own funds with the company's funds privately when working, and the main purpose is to make traders concentrate.

Because when people encounter danger, the first thing they think of is often self-preservation.

If a trader operates his own funds with the company's funds, he is likely to dispose of his own funds first in case of danger.

And the unwarranted loss of the company's funds.

It was a crazy night.

can't help but be Wei Xiong, Ouyang Yalan also abandoned her previous shyness and frantically catered to Wei Xiong, she needed to vent the shock in her heart.

It's really shocking, it's incredible.

She never thought that a person could have a huge fortune of more than 100 billion dollars, and this person is still her boss, but also her man.

The shock and excitement are incomprehensible to outsiders.

After the market opens the next day.

The stock market rebounded slightly, probably because the market was adjusting itself, and then continued to fall, but the decline was much larger than yesterday.

Before the start of the stock market crash.

Wei Xiong handed Gu Guofu a list with the names of dozens of companies, all of which are industry giants with names and surnames in the world.

Including Microsoft, Apple, and HP in the IT industry;

Procter & Gamble in the daily necessities production industry;

Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, KFC in the food and beverage industry;

Walmart in the retail industry;

the flowering banks of the banking sector;

The oil industry, Mobil Chemical, Exxon Chemical, and News Corp. in the media industry, among others. The future market value of these companies is very clear.

Even if there was no stock market crash.

With a huge amount of money at his disposal, he will still buy the shares of these companies to the maximum.

What's more, the stocks of these companies have basically fallen sharply due to the stock market crash, especially Walmart in the retail industry and ExxonMobil in the oil industry.

The decline has even reached nearly 40%, and it is naturally impossible for him to let go of such a great opportunity.

So as soon as the market opened the next day, eight traders, under the unified command of Gu Guofu, began to frantically and secretly acquire the shares of these companies in the market.

The whole process went smoothly.

At the end of the day, a large part of the shares of these companies that are circulating in the market have been acquired by Shun.

In total, it cost less than $0 billion.

The acquisition of so many shares in these companies at such a 'cheap' price would have been absolutely unthinkable in later generations.
