Chapter 123 A catastrophic event for nuclear power in the United States

The next day, Lin Qiangsheng came to Wall Street and found John Berg's location by address. John Berg belongs to a large investment company, he himself has not yet developed independently, and he is not yet a big investment master in the future.

John Berg told Johnson about some of the economic shapes of the United States, recommended some high-performing stocks to him, and like all investment advisors on Wall Street, he always talked about investing in them. The more Lin Qiangsheng listened, the more he felt that he would make a lot of money, and here he was just like an ordinary investor, extremely easy to be moved by the words of the investment adviser.

"At present, the oil industry and the gold industry are all promising industries! If you invest your money in the stocks of oil companies and ore companies in the United States, you will have a good return! John Berg said to Johnson Lin.

Lin Qiangsheng calmed down, drank some coffee, looked at the analysis report that John Berg was going to give him, nodded and said, "Actually, I'm more interested in industry!" ”

John Berg immediately took out several industry surveys and analyses and said: "I am also very optimistic about the prospects of the electronics industry, some terminal manufacturers, and industry monopolies!" At present, the industry in the United States is sluggish, but the economic situation of companies with technological leadership is good! ”

Mr. Lin saw terminal service providers and electronic equipment manufacturers like IBM and Honeywell, as well as large companies like General Electronics and Westinghouse.

In a responsible manner, some of the companies John Berger selected for Johnson Lin have steadily improved their performance. At present, the United States is ushering in the biggest economic crisis since World War II, and there are tens of thousands of bankrupt companies, and it is not easy to pick out some good and high-performing stocks.

Companies like Apple that are in the limelight haven't gone public yet, and it will take time to find promising ones.

A meeting could not determine the investment of $300 million, so Lin Qiangsheng returned to the hotel with the information.

After arriving at the guest room, Lin Qiangsheng found his waiter: "Call a few people over." Help me sort out the newspapers! ”

The white guy immediately called a few waiters, both men and women, who were arranged by Lin Qiangsheng to cut out the economic information in the newspaper and paste it on a wall with transparent glue.

Lin Qiangsheng stood in front of the information wall with his shoulders crossed, staring at the information on it, and the waiter kept sticking to the wall.

"Apple is preparing to go public. They have been preparing for half a year and are not ready, and analysts point out that this is completely a hype by Jobs, who does not want to take Apple public at all! ”

"It is reported that Intel will launch a 16-bit processor 8088 on the basis of the 8086 processor this summer, which will be another huge progress in the chip industry! At present, IBM has revealed its intention to contact Intel, and the two companies may reach a strategic alliance soon! ”

"The current Intel stock price is $9.06 U.S. stock. I expect a lot of upside this year! After the 8088 chip is listed, Intel is bound to cooperate with IBM, the company's prospects are very impressive, this company that has always focused on technology is definitely worth investing in, sir! Kerry, a white guy, said proudly to Lin Qiangsheng next to him.

Lin Qiangsheng glanced at Kerry, as the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and often recite 300 poems, and you can chant if you can't compose poems! People who work near Wall Street also know a lot about these financial doorways. There are also many people who have ideas like this.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, looked at the news and said seriously: "Yes! It's 8088! "At the same time. Lin Qiangsheng thought, the next one is 286, and the era of personal computers is coming!

Next to it is a message from some large industrial companies, "Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Division has signed a new contract with a state government for the construction of a nuclear power plant, and the equipment will mainly use Bavich's products"

Nuclear power construction has risen strongly during the stagflation of the US economy, and critics say that "this industry will drive the rapid development of related industries." Pull trillions of dollars worth of social output! Many companies on the verge of bankruptcy will rely on the nuclear energy industry to revitalize! ”

Lin Qiangsheng twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, the United States really regarded the nuclear power industry as a lifesaver at this time, and how many industrial enterprises that were struggling to survive had to rely on nuclear power construction to maintain their lives!

If developed, such a rich industrial cluster as nuclear energy encompasses. Technology-intensive and investment-intensive industries, with countless supporting enterprises, have driven more than trillions of dollars in social output value, and an economy as large as the United States has at least 10 trillion US dollars!

At this time, the United States, which was economically sluggish, even their critics were conservative and had to be careful when saying it.

Lin Qiangsheng took a pen and drew wavy lines on this information, indicating that he attached great importance to this information, as well as the information of Intel, and drew a few others.

Lin Qiangsheng stayed in the guest room for two days, mainly to collect information. Carey kept bringing newspapers, and Lin Qiangsheng cut out paper strips and pasted them all over the walls.

This is really effective, this kind of information collection and classification is really intuitive! made Kerry, a white boy, run to Lin Qiangsheng's guest room when he has nothing to do, and he contracted the work of cutting paper notes. It seems that the American Dream is really quite popular.

The time quickly came to March 28th, Lin Qiangsheng was also very tired these days, although there was an element of performance, but he was indeed more interested in the American economy, and gradually began to be fascinated. But there was always something on his mind, and the closer he got to the time, the more nervous he couldn't sleep.

On the morning of the 28th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, Lin Qiangsheng looked at the time, and the world outside the curtain was still dark. Waiting in the darkness before dawn, although he felt tired, it made Lin Qiangsheng more energetic.

Lin Qiangsheng didn't even dare to turn on the TV, so he sat in front of the window, and finally got to breakfast time, and then lay down for a while until nine o'clock.

The Three Mile Island nuclear accident should have happened, right?!

"Bell bell bell"

Lin Qiangsheng was thinking about it, when suddenly the phone rang, startling him. After waiting for a while, Lin Qiangsheng picked up the phone.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin! Have you thought it through today? What kind of stock do you think Mr. John is offering you that you are interested in? Miss Lane's voice came over the phone.

Lin Qiangsheng took a sip of water. Licking his chapped lips, he said calmly: "I feel that Intel is a good electronic company!" It is said that Intel's 8088 chip is about to go on the market, and it will cooperate with IBM, and their market prospects should be very good! ”

Ryan smiled, "Yes, Mr. Lin! Our Mr. John. The stocks recommended for you are guaranteed to be profitable in the market! In this regard, he is very responsible for his clients, and he can be called a conscientious investment expert on Wall Street, please rest assured! ”

"After I read the newspaper, I'll go to you and we'll finalize the contract!" Lin Qiangsheng said simply.

Ryan said happily, "Yes, sir! I'll make an appointment for you to meet John until 10 o'clock, is that okay? ”

"Yes!" After Lin Qiangsheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Let out a long breath.

Today, Carrey sent a newspaper to Lin Qiangsheng as usual, and in the Washington Post, Lin Qiangsheng really saw a big headline, "White House, Big Move?" 》!

Below the headline is the reporter who reported on the newspaper's observation of the White House, and when he saw that at eight or nine o'clock, the White House suddenly turned on his back and panicked, and the reporter immediately felt that there was about to be big news. If you don't know it, you might as well write the title first and guess it. Then draw a big question mark in anticipation of the next issue, which is a common practice in many newspapers.

Lin Qiangsheng read several newspapers in a row, and sure enough, there was news about the White House, and many newspapers and media began to pay attention to the White House.

They don't understand what happened to the United States, the Carter administration is suddenly so flustered! Where is the war? Or was there a terrorist attack on the United States?

Lin Qiangsheng turned on the TV again and turned up his voice. The local TV station in New York suddenly jumped to the current picture of the White House, and the reporter took the microphone to report to the camera: "The White House is in an emergency action, and so far the news has been received that the White House has mobilized the National Guard, and it is reported that several special forces are also being mobilized!" We'd love to know. Why is that? Who can sue us? The White House must set the record straight with the population"

The Carter administration has apparently encountered something sudden now, and they have not yet released any information. Since its founding, the United States has not been hit in any war, or during periods of tension with nuclear threats. The sudden action of the White House made many media confused for a while, and no one came out to explain this qiΔ“ to them!

Lin Qiangsheng touched his head, turned around a few times in place, and sat back on the chair. Obviously, no one will realize that the accident at the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island will happen now, so they have to wait!

Only Stephanie was negligent, but she could be said to know the film "Chinese Syndrome" and believed in it, so she had a hunch.

There are many people who believe that there is a potential nuclear accident in the United States, and two weeks before the accident, York Daily Chronicle reporter Jim Hill and photographer Bill Berden published a series of articles warning the company operating the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant that the plant's safety measures are flawed.

Thinking wildly, the time to make an appointment with John Berg gradually passed, and at about 10:15, the phone in Lin Qiangsheng's guest room rang again.

"Hello?" Lin Qiangsheng picked up the phone and said.

"Mr. Lin! Why are you still in the hotel?! Ryan asked him strangely, she thought that Lin Qiangsheng might be stuck in the road, but she didn't expect him to be in the hotel room.

Lin Qiangsheng flipped through the newspaper and said, "Have you read today's news? Did you see the White House in action? What's going on? Is the United States going to war? I'm $300 million, so I have to be cautious! ”

"Wait a minute!" Ryan said, and after waiting for a while, John Berg said over there: "Mr. Lin, we are not very clear about the current situation in the White House, but please believe in the security of the United States!" If there is any situation, we will inform you in time, please wait for our news! ”

"Okay!" Lin Qiangsheng said happily.

John Berg hung up, frowning. Investors' worries are not unnecessary, and the sudden move of the White House will definitely affect the stock market.

What exactly is going on! Why?

What exactly happened in the United States is something that many Americans and many countries want to figure out at this time. As many news outlets began to track and report on the incident, many people had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen in the United States!

"Mr. John, please come to the meeting right now! It is said that news has come from the White House! It was nearly eleven o'clock when a company employee barged in and called out to Johnberg.

John Berg stood up suddenly. Ignoring Ryan's surprised expression, he rushed out of the office.

Many investment experts, investment advisors and managers received news in the company's intelligence center that shocked and frightened them!

The special forces mobilized by the White House of the United States actually include several nuclear security forces, and their assembly location and target have been analyzed by experts, and it turned out to be the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant!

"What's going on? Isn't there any clearer information? One of the investment managers exclaimed in astonishment.

The intelligence expert shook his head and said, "For now. It's not easy to get this information! There wasn't much news from the front either! However, after analysis, our intelligence officers are 80% sure that there is a serious accident at the Sanlidao nuclear power plant! Otherwise, this qiΔ“ can't be explained! It is impossible for the White House to use such an exercise to hit the American economy, right?! ”

Everyone couldn't even smile bitterly, and the intelligence expert's self-deprecating words had no effect, and he said with a smile: "I think you should immediately predict what will happen if a nuclear accident really occurs in the United States. ”

The crowd returned to their offices in astonishment. Began to make frantic phone calls, using his intelligence connections to gather information.

The United States is an intelligence-developed society, with all kinds of gossip flying all over the sky, and the US media industry is the biggest intelligence peddler.

It was almost noon when Lin Qiangsheng called John Berg and asked him about the information, but John Berg never told him the truth.

waited for more than 1 o'clock, Lin Qiangsheng couldn't sit still in the hotel. He went to the investment company and asked John Berg for personal news.

"John. I've heard that! Is it Pennsylvania? What went wrong? Why is the United States making such a big move! Lin Qiangsheng knew a qiΔ“, but he just couldn't say it, and he had to talk to John Berg in a roundabout way, he was in a hurry!

John Berg frowned and said, "At the moment, the news is confusing and vague, and we are not very clear!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "John! It's not hard to know what's going on in the U.S.! As long as I'm willing to spend money! ”

Looking at John Burger, he still didn't want to tell him the truth. Lin Qiangsheng suddenly asked, "Is the United States at war?" ”

John Berg lowered his head and continued to work with his head down.

"There was a terrorist attack in the United States? Are there heavy casualties? Lin Qiangsheng pretended to be surprised and shouted.

John Berg looked up and said, "Mr. Lin! Do you just want something to happen to the United States! ”

Lin Qiangsheng also shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I don't want to!" I still want to make a lot of money here! That's what, make my American dream come true! After speaking, Lin Qiangsheng laughed.

John Berg shook his head and prepared to pick up the phone.

Lin Qiangsheng suddenly said: "Is the United States losing the nuclear bomb?!" ”

John Berg looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, and Lin Qiangsheng laughed. said: "It's a nuclear bomb lost, right?" That's why the White House is so flustered! I've seen it all on TV, and President Carter is in a hurry to go around in circles! ”

John Berg shook his head and said, "No! ”

"Oh? Is that a nuclear leak? Nuclear explosion? Nuclear power plant accidents? Lin Qiangsheng said casually.

John Berg frowned as he spoke.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at John Berg carefully, and said seriously: "The pupils of human eyes can't be panicked, every time I say a word, your pupils shrink!" I've observed that when I talk about the nuclear power plant accident, your pupils are the size of a pinpoint! Heh, is there an accident at a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania? Is it the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island? ”

John Berg quickly turned his head, but his flustered eyes were still exposed in front of Lin Qiangsheng.

"The blow of a nuclear accident is very hard! It is possible that the economy of the United States will be severely affected, and the industry and commerce of the United States will be hit hard! Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said regretfully.

John Berg didn't hide it either, turned his head and said, "Sir! It seems that I can't do any investment activity for you until the news is exactly here! ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"Because if it is really a nuclear accident, it will hit the US stock market, and what kind of Cheng DΓΉ will be lost is not something that we investment advisers can predict! That's just God! John Berg drew an amen on his chest and said.

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said loudly: "No! I believe that the size of the U.S. economy is huge, and even if a nuclear accident does happen, it will not be enough to destroy the U.S. economy! I want you to help me short the US nuclear energy manufacturing related companies immediately! Who built the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island? ”

Lin Qiangsheng turned his head to Ryan who walked into the office and asked, "Miss Ryan, please help me check the information of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant!" ”

Ryan looked at the stunned John Burger. He nodded and walked out.

Soon after, the company related to the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was found out by Lane, which is a second-generation nuclear power plant built by the Bavi company in the late 60s and early 70s. Each unit is expected to generate 5 billion kilowatts of electricity per year!

If a nuclear accident occurs at the plant, it will hit Bavi and the manufacturing industry hard, as well as Westinghouse, a nuclear giant.

The Americans who experienced the Cold War and nuclear blackmail are talking about nuclear discoloration! They also remember Khrushchev's threat to use nuclear bombs against the United States, the Cuban missile crisis. If there really is a nuclear accident. Americans are going to be frightened!

Lin Qiangsheng shook his hand at John Berg and found that he was not good!

"Alas! Unexpectedly, you Americans are so afraid of nuclear bombs? Also, you are old enough to experience a nuclear crisis, and it is normal to be afraid! At such a young age as Miss Lane, she's not so scared, isn't Miss Lane? Lin Qiangsheng turned his head to look at Ryan.

"It's not! No! Miss Ryan shook her head and waved her hand, her panicked expression betraying her heart!

"John?!" Lin Qiangsheng turned around and shouted.

John Berg came back to his senses and advised Lin Johnson: "Please trust a professional investor. At such a moment, it is better to wait and see what happens! Mr. Lin, I have other work to do, let's make an appointment to talk about it! ”

"Don't! I entrust you with the management of my funds, how can you do that! Seeing the opportunity to make money, don't help me! Lin Qiangsheng shouted.

Ryan also stepped forward to persuade: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me, John doesn't have time today!" Come back next time! ”

The two were pulling when the door opened. A staff member brought an envelope when John Berg read the letter. His face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be their investment company that has obtained important information and confirmed the reliability of the news! Think about it, in such a developed society as the United States, if the investment companies do not have the first information. That's not to die! It's been a little late for such a long time, and Lin Qiangsheng originally thought that they would confirm the news earlier!

He shouted to Johnberg, "John! Hurry up and use my funds to short Bavi Company, do you want to delay me to make money! ”

John Berg was stunned for a moment, then reacted. said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Although it has been confirmed that there was a nuclear accident on Sanli Island, it is still not sure how strict it is!" ”

"Ahh Hearing the confirmation news, even Miss Ryan screamed in fright.

Finding that he had missed his mouth, John Berg didn't care, and he persuaded Lin Qiangsheng: "I hope Mr. Lin is still calmer!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "Do you know that I watched a movie called "China Syndrome" a few days ago? It's amazing that this movie actually predicted a nuclear accident in the United States! I knew about this film when I was in Hong Kong, and I think it was very well made, and the environmental significance is very important! This nuclear accident will definitely cause losses to the company, and I estimate that their stock price will fall by more than 35%, or even 45% in the next few days! Rest assured, I've thought it through! If you, as my investment advisor, agree with my analysis, then there is no reason to stop me from making money! I believe that at this time, some investment companies have already started to short the shares of Bavi! Hurry up, Mr. Johnberg! ”

John Berg was speechless by Lin Johnson's words, and after a pause, he nodded silently and said to Ryan: "Mr. Lin still needs to sign a commission contract!" Ryan, help prepare! ”

Ryan nodded, glanced at Lin Qiangsheng, and then quietly walked out.

Lin Qiangsheng showed a smile on his face, and then asked John Berg curiously, "If my prediction is accurate, how much can I earn?" ”

John Berg sighed and said, "This depends on the future trend, but I expect that the situation of Bavi may not be optimistic!" (To be continued......)
