Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Seven: Today will be the day they will go to hell
After the United States, the White House, and the Secretary of State finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, represented by Treasury Secretary Baker, really didn't want to care, let them eat dogs and kill one by one, but if Lehman Brothers falls, it will be too big to involve all aspects, and the US government, which is now recovering economically, is absolutely unacceptable, not only the United States, but also the economy around the world can not withstand large-scale toss, which is also where the British government is angry.

"Don't meddle for the time being, when they go in and out with red knives, we're meddling, usually this gang of Wall Street is not very united, I want to see if they can still unite after this incident" Reagan said with a gloomy face, this time as president, he actually broke out a global stock market crash, and his colleagues were criticized and disposed of unfavorably by the people around the world, Reagan's psychology is my fire, this is all brought to me by Wall Street, how can I let it go now that I have the opportunity, I glanced at Baker, Baker knew it was time to speak for himself, and Baker and Reagan were highly unified in their treatment of Wall Street.
"Lehman Brothers is one of the top ten investment banks in the United States anyway, and there should be no problem supporting it for a few days, so let's not interfere for the time being, after all, we are pursuing a free economy, and too much government interference is not a good thing for the market" After listening to Beck's words, many people took a breath of cool air.
This time the situation is different from the last time the umbrella tossed Morgan, at that time the umbrella Lin Xiaotian has not yet been canonized, and now, the umbrella has not yet started Lehman Brothers' stock fell by twenty in vain, if the umbrella is exerting force, what should Lehman Brothers do, you must know that this is not only the umbrella is staring at Lehman Brothers, other crocodiles are also staring, Lehman Brothers can say that a few days are unknown.
The secretary of state didn't want to care about this matter when he saw this, but out of consideration for the U.S. economy, he thought for a while, "Gentlemen, let's prepare for both, once the market's reaction exceeds our reaction, we will immediately intervene, not to protect the Wall Street gang, but for the sake of the U.S. economy, if there is a large-scale fluctuation in the U.S. stock market at this time, I believe that the regimes in Europe and many places will be happy to see it, and it will not be beneficial to our superposition in the United States."
This is very clear, the current United States is not without challengers, one of the bipolar Soviet Union for the time being, Europe is ready to surpass the United States, this can be seen from the desperate economic development of European countries, if it is really because of this stock market fluctuation slows down the speed of economic recovery in the United States, then the center of the world in the future will return to Europe, the United States has no benefit.
Reagan thought for a while, the Secretary of State's words were still more pertinent, and sighed in his heart, these Wall Street scum themselves are not capable of cleaning them up, "According to the Secretary of State's intentions, let's prepare with both hands, once things have a bad development, we will intervene immediately, in the face of national interests, everything needs to be compromised" Reagan glanced at Baker after finishing speaking, and the two of them saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes, and this feud really has no chance to be avenged.
Time will not stop for anyone's reason, according to their own speed, the firm, without any interference, the weather in New York today is still not better, rainy and rainy, Wall Street people face the light rain, umbrellas, although it is a little cold outside, but no one will feel cold in the heart, today is early to their jobs.
Lehman Brothers is going to hold a press conference at half past nine today, but many big crocodiles know that when the press conference ends, it is the time of the general attack, and this does not need to be coordinated with each other, and there is still a tacit understanding between them, even if Lehman Brothers' profits are good, they can't change anything, because he has offended people who should not be offended.
Yesterday, the stock traders who shorted in advance, one by one with their own expectations quickly changed their clothes and entered the post, yesterday they have made a lot of money, but no one will feel that they make more money, do not have enough greed, will not be mixed with Wall Street, all those who are rooted here, are full of greed for money, yesterday's little income, simply can not satisfy their dissatisfied appetite, one by one is looking forward to today's Lehman Brothers continue to fall.
The media has been aware of the changes in the stock market, today Lehman Brothers held a press conference, all came early, the location is the door of the Lehman Brothers Building, where there have been Lehman Brothers employees began to arrange, Lehman Brothers' board of directors members are quietly watching upstairs, Lehman Brothers' president Richard Fulder, with several vice presidents and chief financial officers, and a number of senior executives in the hall to say this, I can't see anything wrong, all of them are in suits and leather shoes, and people are also very spiritual. There was no feeling that today would be their day to hell.
England, London, the Minister of Commerce called the mayor of the city of London, the chief of police, and the leaders of several special departments to his office for a meeting, the defense was very tight, and outsiders didn't know what the meeting was, but the meeting lasted for an hour, and after an hour, everyone came out with gloomy faces, and began to prepare according to the division of labor.
When the time came, Richard Fulder, the president of Lehman Brothers, appeared on the rostrum with several vice presidents and chief financial officers, and several senior executives.
Waving his hand, Chad Fuld glanced at the reporters, "Friends of the media, I believe you have all got the news, yesterday Lehman Brothers' stock fell by nearly 20% inexplicably, although the stock fell, but this does not match our Lehman Brothers' results, today we will disclose our third quarter financial report, here I can clearly tell you that Lehman Brothers is profitable in the third quarter, and a profitable company will not be crushed by some people" Chad Fulder's words, It's still very contagious, and it's obvious that the words mean something else, and the reporters below have raised their attention.
"Now, it's time to hand it over to our CFO and let her make a disclosure to you," Chad Fuld said as he made a gesture of please to a lady next to him, and retreated to the back, giving the lady the front position.
"Hello media reporters, I am Blanche, the chief financial officer of Lehman Brothers, today we will announce our third quarter data report in advance, we Lehman Brothers have been profitable in the past third quarter, the profit amount is XX billion, we ............" Blanche spoke for more than an hour, the data is very comprehensive, the following reporters have made records, on the whole, Lehman Brothers is stable in the third quarter, is profitable, The current decline in stocks does not match their performance, it is completely artificially manipulated, and it is not a reaction to Lehman Brothers' performance.
After Blanche finished speaking, he turned to look at Chad Fulder, nodded and signaled, he finished speaking, Chad Fuld was very satisfied with the CFO he had promoted, and he did exactly what he wanted, and he nodded and walked to the front of the stage.
"Friends from the media, today's press conference is over, I Lehman Brothers has prepared a small gift for all media friends from afar, please come to the side with your own work card to receive, thank you for your arrival, today's press conference is over, however, tomorrow, we also have a major information release about the market, believe me, this information for some enterprises, is a huge earthquake, a bad, many companies will suffer major losses because of this news, thank you" Chad Fuld laid a foreshadowing and ended this press conference, although the reporters still had questions, but the people had already left, and there was no way to understand, so they could only go to receive their own small gifts.
The company's internal display of the fluctuations in the stock market, Lehman Brothers' stocks, as always, fell, and did not rebound as expected, the decline was very stable, firm, just not rebounded, everyone had a gloomy face.
"Sir, there is a large short order to enter the market" At this time, the trader's words made everyone stunned, shouldn't be, the financial report has already been announced, how can anyone dare to short, what the hell.
"Sir, there are large short orders to enter the market" "Sir, there are large short orders to enter the market" "Sir, there are large short orders to enter the market" one after another traders reported alarms, at this time even fools know that something is wrong, if the stock of Lehman Brothers just fell is the way people walk, then now it is the trend of running, and there is room to continue to speed up, everyone's face is dark.
Richard Fuld was doing it, still holding a cup of coffee in his hand, but at this time he couldn't care about the coffee, and stood up, "Check, let me find out whose channel they are using and how much money they have" said quickly with a black face.
The sound of the phone call began, and the chaos was the sound of people talking, and at this time, a person who had already received the news walked to Richard Fuld with a small note, and whispered a few words, Richard Fulder's face changed, and he walked to the side and began to call, apparently Richard Fuld knew something.
The phone was quickly connected, "Hello, I'm Hunter," Citibank President Hunter's voice came out, Richard Fulder's face was a burst of fever, it was Hunter's intelligence that gave him confidence, and now it's Hunter who is doing it, what the hell are you going to do.
