Monday, 19 October 1987. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
New York, USA.
Just as all the media focused on the big star Chen Xiaotang's Square Garden concert, a silent financial storm has swept in.
In the early morning, Wall Street is shrouded in clouds, and in the rush and dreary "dang, dang, dang" bells, the New York Stock Exchange begins a new day. At the beginning of the opening of the market, an ominous premonition hit the hearts of everyone in the noisy trading floor: Dao? The Jones Industrial Average opened down 67 points. In the blink of an eye, there was a surge of selling orders. Under the pressure of the swarming rolling toss, all the green disks (falling) on the screen were turned up, and there was no red wave (rising) in sight. There was panic in the exchange, and the market was in chaos when it caught fire.
From 9:30 a.m. to 11 o'clock in the straight, road? The Jones Industrial Average is falling, and no one knows what to do to contain the worsening situation. Although there were also proposals to close the market, no one dared to make a decision. The New York Stock Exchange was concerned about Wall Street's role as a "weather vane" in the global stock market, so it had to desperately hold on. But the result of persistence was that the stock market continued to fall sharply, and even plummeted, catching everyone off guard.
"Everything is out of control," the New York Times reported. Countless investors lost a lot on this day, and Sam, the richest man in the world? Walton lost $2.1 billion in stock value in a single day, and the world's youngest billionaire, Bill? Gates lost $3.945 billion, and computer king Wang An lost $31 million on the afternoon of the 19th alone. Many millionaires have been reduced to poverty overnight, and the hardest suffering are those investors who have invested in stocks with the sweat they have accumulated over the years. Shaken by the plunge in stock prices. The psychology of shareholders has become extremely fragile. Many people in Central Asia, who were overwhelmed by the collapse of the stock market, had a complete mental breakdown and committed suicide. Banks go bankrupt. Factories are closing, companies are laying off a lot of workers, and people are panicking.
In order to pass on the financial crisis on his side and minimize the losses and risks, the American bigwigs resorted to various means to unceremoniously push out the Japanese little brother who was following behind his ass and help them block the guns and guns. To put it bluntly, it is to act as cannon fodder for financial disasters!
At the same time, Japan. Tokyo.
The collapse on Wall Street has long reminded Japanese speculators who had experienced the stock market crash of the horrors of those years and realized the danger. They screamed and sold their stocks, and some of the newbies were still hesitant to sell their stocks. But soon. They paid the price for their hesitation
10,000, 9,900, 9,800......
Stocks are like electronic watches, no, the decline of numbers faster than electronic watches makes everyone present finally realize the danger. They despaired, screamed, and began to sell their stocks. But the problem is that no one is buying at all now. They sell their stocks, and to whom can they sell them?
At this time, those big consortia and big funds that lost their blood into have opened short positions and frantically shorted the stock index, which has given the stock price that has begun to decline a shot in the arm ~ Fen ~ agent, and the Nikkei stock index has seen an unprecedented plunge, like a sharp sword directly inserted into the heart of the bear.
A pair of eyes were glued to the huge data display of the futures exchange, and with an incredulous gaze, they watched the Nikkei tick chart still fall one step at a time, and then one step after another. In the originally jubilant futures trading hall, it was already silent at this time.
At this moment, countless financial speculators who participated in this wave of speculation suffered from severe anemia at the same time, and their eyes went black and fell softly.
Although they have not yet reached the point of liquidation, their career as an international speculator is over, because these people know very well that since the bears have dug such a big trap and put everyone in it, then they will definitely not just want the void Nikkei to drop the fire.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, for a period of time to come, the stock price will continue to plummet, and it is estimated that the stock index will definitely not have any signs of stopping the fall and stabilizing until all the long positions in the hands of these financial speculators are blown up.
An unprecedented financial storm swept across Asia, and even the world, and on this day alone, the Nikkei index plummeted from 13,000 points to 9,100 points, a full drop of 1,200 points.
Japan's speculators are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis.
If, if they weren't too greedy, they would take it when they saw it, how could it be?
Heaven is evil, but it is still alive; You will not live!
It was also on this day that the Japanese Rescue and Emergency Center received a large number of calls from citizens, and one by one financial speculators with infinite scenery came to the edge of the rooftop of the high-rise building.
A day ago, they still lived in a luxury birch villa worth tens of millions, drove a famous car worth millions, slept with greedy female film and television stars, and spent a lot of money in nightclubs. But in the blink of an eye, they have become real super losers, with huge debts that people can't face.
In just a few hours, the huge gap from the super-rich to the super-rich weighed on their nerves, and the huge debts that they could not pay off in a lifetime made them completely lose confidence in the future.
As a result, in Japan in 1987, there was a spectacle of several futures brokers of a company jumping off a building en masse.
Despair is spreading in Japan!
And it is not these Japanese stockholders and tycoons who have suffered serious losses, especially the greedy Japanese conglomerates, such as Mitsubishi and Sony, who have thrown hundreds of billions of dollars into the water in this financial turmoil, and Japan's economy has been hit like never before, which makes the Japanese prime minister can't help but shout: "The Americans have abandoned us, they are making us commit suicide!" If we had known that, we shouldn't have listened to their bullshit! ”
It's a pity that the wheel of history that keeps rolling forward will not allow the word "regret" to exist.
Naturally, there is no need to think about the result, Japan's stock market crash has set their economy back by ten years!
In addition to the collapse of the stock markets in New York and Tokyo, the stock markets in London and Hong Kong were all hit so hard that the next day, the world's major newspapers were overwhelmed with black headlines: "October Massacre!" "Bloodstained Wall Street! "Black Monday", "Nikkei Crash!" "The storm swept through Hong Kong! ”……
New York, USA.
Grand Hilton Hotel.
At eleven o'clock in the evening of the same day, Chen Xiaotang, who held two concerts in a row, was exhausted, and when he returned to his hotel, took off his coat, and hung it on the hanger, a quick knock sounded on the door, and then he saw the fat man Wang Jing walking in super abnormally.
His face was flushed and he was short of breath.
"Ah Tang," he said, "our plan to snipe the stock market has come to fruition......
"yes, is it out?" Chen Xiaotang wiped his face and asked a little tiredly.
During this time, he was so busy taking care of his concert that he ignored this bold sniping plan.
And this plan was opposed by many people before, thinking that it was self-defeating, and only a few people such as Fat Man supported Chen Xiaotang.
Because in the eyes of the fat man, Chen Xiaotang almost did not make a mistake in terms of investment, buying Fox, seizing Sony, investing in Light and Magic, and controlling Pfizer...... A series of moves made people dizzy and stunned, and the results proved that his actions were extremely wise and correct.
Therefore, the fat man and others have subtly developed a kind of dependent trust in Chen Xiaotang, and this trust has almost reached the point of no bottom line, so everything Chen Xiaotang says is right.
Chen Xiaotang himself also knew that this habit was not good, and tried to change this situation, but he didn't expect that this time it became his help.
"Look at you slowly, if you have anything, let's say it quickly, how much money did you make from this sniping, is it billions, or tens of billions?" Chen Xiaotang picked up the mineral water and took a sip. In his opinion, since the stock market crash really broke out as he expected, it is certain to make money, but if he can make tens of billions, it will be a miracle.
The fat man looked at Chen Xiaotang with strange eyes, then took a deep breath and said, "It's not tens of billions, it's ...... Two hundred billion!"
"Flutter!" Chen Xiaotang squirted out a mouthful of water, "What?!" You repeat! ”
The fat man didn't care about wiping the water sprayed on his face, "It's 200 billion dollars!" Ah Tang, we have earned enough 200 billion !! ”
Chen Xiaotang's whole person was in a daze.
Two hundred billion?
What is this concept?
I remember that the future world's richest man Gates' classmates are only 50 billion, didn't he become four Gates all of a sudden? !
Finally blinked his eyes, Chen Xiaotang asked a very stylish sentence, "Fatty, aren't you playing with me?!" ”
The fat man slapped it without hesitation!
Syllable!
Crisp and loud!
"Lie to you!" The fat man is very indignant, and being able to ask this sentence shows that this guy doesn't believe in himself at all, and it also shows his ignorance of speculative stock market crashes!
Indeed, Chen Xiaotang is very ignorant, he only thinks that he can make some money from speculating on the stock market crash, but he does not know that he can make such earth-shattering profits!!
It's like an ignorant little citizen, the reason is that he can make a fortune speculatively and buy a donkey, but who knows that it is a super ranch that will be bought!
Covering his hot face, Chen Xiaotang finally came to his senses, "You guy, you dare to beat me?!" "Bad eyesight.
The fat man hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, I was an expedient measure just now, mainly to save you...... If a gentleman doesn't care about villains, don't worry about it! ”
Chen Xiaotang didn't have time to bird him, and directly snatched the data report in his hand, although he had been fully mentally prepared, but after seeing so many shocking figures, he still felt dizzy.
