Chapter 1041: U.S. Stock Market Crash
The old lady sighed helplessly: "In this life, the older you are, the more restrictions you have, let Xiaofei go on a career path, I don't know whether to help him or harm him!" ”
The old principal laughed, and the relief in the laughter made Liu Feng very envious: "Old woman, didn't you always say that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't let me worry too much about Xiaofei's affairs, why is it your turn now?" ”
"The older you are, the bigger your heart is!" Mrs. Qi glanced at her wife, but there was a strong affection in her eyes, the older the old couple became, the more sincere they were, like a cellar of alcohol, "Hey, but Xiaofei has really made great progress in the past few years!" ”
This is the main reason why the old lady looks at Liu Feng's eyes, and it is the old pimple in front of her, who is a few years younger than Qi Fei, has brought great changes to her son. At the beginning, Qi Fei was called Qi Gege, and you can imagine what kind of character it was.
If you don't become someone else's vassal, you will become someone else's stepping stone, and even be regarded as a scapegoat, and you will be pushed out at any time.
The only fate of such an official in local power is to carry a black pot and end gloomily, without any possibility of luck. This is an era when interests are paramount, how many people in the world still remember the affection of the year?
Secretary Qi is alive, he may be able to keep Qi Gege's peace, but he can't keep him rich and prosperous for a lifetime! The old lady regarded Liu Feng as her second son, just because he and Xiaofei of his own family were like brothers!
Now it seems that the layout that started with Mrs. Mei's reselling of someone Liu has played an excellent role. Qi Fei not only succeeded in local governance, but also rose step by step, this is not the push of Secretary Qi, from what he did, he has reassured the old couple that this son has finally grown up!
The only person who can let Secretary Yue drink tea together in his busy schedule is probably Liu: "Principal, you should also take a proper rest, don't always work so hard, the president of the United States still has to take a vacation!" ”
"I remember that you don't like the Americans very much," Yue Jiangshan looked at Liu Feng in surprise, "What, suddenly think the Americans are better?" ”
Liu Feng pouted: "What's the matter, hehe, anyway, the United States has suffered recently, I'm waiting to see the excitement, maybe I have to sprinkle a handful of salt on their wounds!" ”
"Oh?" Secretary Yue was interested, "How do you say this?" ”
"Intuition, pure intuition!" Liu Feng said very firmly, "I don't think there is any difference between the current U.S. stock market and the Tokyo stock market back then, they are all on the edge of the cliff, and it will plummet in March and April!" ”
Yue Jiangshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "How big are you going to do this time?" ”
"Gale Group's funds have just been withdrawn, but before the situation is clear, the reverse operation has not yet been determined!" Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "But I plan to short sell the stock index in the near future, maybe on this week's trading day, and there will definitely be a lot of gains!" ”
Secretary Yue smiled slightly: "Liu Feng, if you are given a sum of money to help you operate, do you have confidence?" ”
"I'm helping the trader?" Liu Feng was stunned, he had never operated for the country, and thought for a while, "Cheng, I just want to cut meat from the Americans and make this bastard country responsible for everything it did last year!" ”
"Calm down!" Secretary Yue took a sip of tea, "Don't let hatred lose your heart!" ”
"Don't worry!" Liu Feng said with a smile, "This kind of thing has been done a lot, practice makes perfect, the bigger the scene, the higher my strength will be!" ”
"I'm looking forward to your performance, not bragging to me!"
Secretary Yue glared at Liu Feng and scolded, but the latter didn't care at all: "Just look at it, there will always be retribution for the Americans!" ”
On Monday, March 6, 2000, Gale Group's secret funds and a fund of mysterious origin were officially shorted on the Wall Street stock market. Liu Feng is especially bearish on the Nasdaq, and he feels that technology stocks have accumulated too much bubble after only rising and not falling for several years.
Especially as the major shareholder behind the scenes of Style Network, he knows very well what these so-called Internet stocks mean, and the whole thing is a black hole of swallowing gold! Therefore, he invested most of his energy in the NASDAQ index, and even shorted the NASDAQ index with all the mysterious funds.
It's just that someone Liu miscalculated this time, he started a little late, originally prepared a huge amount of 50 billion US dollars, just to open a position of 5 billion short stock index contracts, the US stock market has undergone major changes, this sudden change has surprised everyone, countless financial tycoons have suffered heavy losses in this accident!
After peaking in early March 2000, the Dow Jones index began to decline on March 14. The hardest fall was the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which peaked on March 10 and began to fall sharply.
Many stock commentators believe that this is just a technical downgrade and will not have serious consequences. Liu Feng is the most disdainful of these so-called bricks, he gritted his teeth and shorted the stock market! This is the first time he has added a short-selling futures index!
Short selling refers to the risk of exponential increase due to leveraged trading, and even geometric progression. Liu Feng seemed to think of the martyrs a year ago, and Liu seemed to be really lost by hatred at this time, as Secretary Yue said, and almost no reason.
Within the Gale Group, only one voice gave the order: "Additional short selling!" ”
At this time, the shareholders within Gale Group are no longer the stock blinds of the year, and they all know how risky stock index futures are after so many years of polishing in the stock market. One carelessness is the end of losing everything, and there is no possibility of turning the tables!
But the prestige that Liu Feng has accumulated over the years has made everyone strictly obey his orders, and no one questions this. Within the Gale Group, Liu Feng is the soul and brain of this small group!
On April 14, the Nasdaq index fell to 3,321.29 points from 5,048.62 points on March 10. In just one week, five trading days, the U.S. shareholders, including those who own Dow Jones and Nasdaq stocks, lost nearly $2 trillion in huge fortunes!
This is a complete stock market crash, in fact, a stock market crash created by the US government! Since the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the U.S. government has begun to make arrangements, attracting almost all the hot money in the world to the U.S. stock market.
At the end of 1998, the Dow Jones index rose to 9,274 points, and the Dow Jones index climbed to a doubly crazy degree because of the influx of hot money. From January 1999 ~ early March 2000, in a short period of more than one year and two months, the index soared from more than 9,200 points to more than 13,000 points, reaching its peak.
The GDP of the United States was $8,272.9 billion at the end of 1997, $9,084.1 billion at the end of 1999, and $9,264.5 billion in the first quarter of 2000! Another important fact that the high inflation of GDP has coincided with is that the material production sector in the United States has been stagnant since 1998.
In other words, the myth of American wealth during this period was helped by international hot money. When the peak day came, the stock index began to plummet, all the hot money was trapped in the US stock market, and all the international hot money evaporated in the US sky, or in other words, after the US government sucked most of the blood, the empty shell was abandoned!
Thanks to Liu Feng's keen sense, Gale Group once again staged a victorious escape in the stock market! As of the end of February 2000, not only the money of Style's network circle was 24 billion US dollars, but the layout since 1998 has made the cash wealth of Gale Group reach more than 300 billion US dollars!
That's not all, the short orders that have begun to be slowly closed at the moment have reached $270 billion. Among them, 70 billion US dollars is the income and principal of that mysterious fund, which is equivalent to the world's top five foreign exchange reserves!
This time for his contribution, Liu Feng is destined to become an unsung hero! The proceeds of this mysterious fund, along with the principal, will not appear in any of Huaxia's records. Any country and government will have such funds, and this is a must.
The difference is that the secret funds of the Americans are used to prop up hostile forces in certain countries, provide weapons and equipment to these opposition forces, and train personnel. This kind of thing has been done for decades since the Second World War, and it has long become an inertia.
Even though the price Americans have paid for this is far greater than their total domestic GDP in a year, they are still happy to do so. For example, the color revolutions in Central Asia, the political turmoil in Eastern Europe, and the terrorist forces in the Middle East all have the presence of Americans.
In fact, the Americans are doing this purely to the detriment of others and themselves, and those governments that have been supported by him may not be of the same mind as him, such as the full support for Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, and then it was not a big fight!
Not to mention those capricious terrorist organizations, these groups that have milk and are mothers, and even more ruthless outlaws, who accept your funding every time they come forward, and give you a bomb when they turn back!
After nearly a year of meticulous construction, all the dams in the dangerous sections of the reservoir in the jurisdiction of Zhujiang City have been strengthened and repaired. The remaining embankments have begun to enter the repair stage, and Liu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, he no longer has to worry about these bombs!
After 20 months of construction, Dongshan Port Industrial Park has begun to take shape, and many enterprises have entered the formal production stage. The first batch of students of Zhujiang Vocational and Technical School all entered the factory for internship, and more than seventy percent of the students officially signed contracts with enterprises during the internship period.
Originally, according to the original substitute training agreement, all these trainees signed a contract, because Zhang Chuanjun set a clause for independent career selection, which made it reasonable and legal for some enterprises to dig into the wall, which was nothing more than compensation for liquidated damages and training fees for vocational schools.
For these enterprises, there is nothing more valuable than skilled workers, these employees work for a period of time in the morning, they can grow into the production backbone team leader within the enterprise, which is very important to the development of the enterprise, which can not be measured with money!
