Chapter 53: The New York Stock Market Opens Its Doors
Monday, October 19, 1987, 27th day of the eighth lunar month.
The paddy in the paddy fields has long been harvested, leaving only stubble of varying heights.
After a while, the farmers will drain the water in the fields and plant some melons, melons, small vegetables, or rape and wheat.
In the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the ravages of autumn tigers have not ended, women wear skirts, men go out with big pants, and only briefs are left at home.
Time slipped away slowly, and Xia Xuanyue had long since disappeared, leaving only stars in the sky.
Tonight, many people in the world will not sleep, their eyes fixed on New York on the west shore of the Atlantic.
New York Harbor is Sam's largest seaport and one of the largest in the world.
It is located northeast of Sam at the mouth of the Hudson River and east of the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1980, the throughput reached 160 million tons, and for many years it has been more than 100 million tons, and an average of more than 4,000 ocean-going ships enter and exit every year.
Some homeless people weaved through the crowd, occasionally gathering in to inquire and discuss.
If you get closer, you can hear what they're saying, and even if your voice is low, you deliberately let the people around you hear you.
"What? You're from England? Don't you know about Standard Oil yet? ā
"What's the matter?"
The homeless man was silent, looking at the longing gazes around him.
Finally someone understood what to do, and stepped forward and took out ten dollars: "Oh, is it enough?" ā
"To add a little more, this news is so exciting. Just ten dollars to get news? You know, I paid a hundred dollars to get off that ship. ā
"Really?" The man who looked like the boss who gave the money gritted his teeth and took out another forty dollars from his pocket: "You can also tell the others about this." Let's not talk about the first retreat. ā
"Okay, you're too tall, bend down a bit." There was a hint of cunning in the homeless man's eyes: "I told you, don't sue anyone?" ā
"Okay! I swear to the sun, what are you still grinding? Say it! ā
"The people on the ship said that Standard Oil was going to occupy the market in the Middle East, and they were scared back by the Russians. Alas. How many tens of billions, the early investment has been wasted! ā
"When?" The boss obviously wanted to get more information: "By the way, the boat is from Cape Town." It's still far from the Middle East. ā
"Really? Even people in South Africa know about it? It looks like Standard Oil is finished! ā
The homeless man left contentedly, touching the fifty dollars close to his flesh and a small tape recorder that was not easily found in his jacket, and turned to his next target.
You know, the person who gave him the tape recorder said. Spread one more person. There will be ten dollars coming in.
"I'll go, the people at JPMorgan Chase have a lot of in their heads!"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think I'm going to sue you for this news?"
"Okay, ten dollars, forget if it's more, I'll get the news in a few days anyway."
"Cheng, seeing that you are refreshing, I will also tell you directly, your ears are closer. I'll tell you. These people are crazy and want to acquire Asia and Europe Bank? ā
"I'll go. Morgan is so capable that the shareholders in it add up to more than their own assets. And then what? ā
"Naturally, the talks collapsed, Morgan was attacked by the Asian and European Bank, and his assets shrank by at least half!"
"Half? Oh my god, Sam's government is in danger, knowing that they own 25 percent of the country's economic lifeline! ā
"Isn't it? Maybe the Republican Party can occupy the presidency for a long time, after all, the Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family. Alas, this is the sorrow of the Sam people, one-party dictatorship! ā
You know, before World War II, the Democratic Party belonged to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belonged to the Rockefeller family, but both Morgan and Rockefeller belonged to Screw Child.
Sam's wealth before World War II is enough to explain in one sentence.
How much wealth the Screw Child family has is a mystery to the world.
As one of the world's most mysterious and ancient families, they have been hiding in the shadows of the world economy for nearly two centuries.
When we walk into the Wardsden Manor, which bears the footprints of that mysterious family for generations, the family mansion that can buy the entire European cultural heritage, Buckingham Palace has to make way for it.
Otherwise, why would Guy want to attack Sam so much? Morgan and Rockefeller uprooted the forces of Screw Chard's in Sam.
Just like the Jews in the past, without the protection of the state, no amount of family wealth is in vain.
Don't you see that Hettler ordered the Gestapo to confiscate the property of the Jews and put them in concentration camps?
If Sam is weakened, Morgan and Rockefeller's influence is correspondingly weakened.
Everyone knows that even in Sam, they have many more enemies than friends.
Therefore, it is conceivable that these bad ideas were put forward by Gain and personally found someone to implement them.
It's not just the port, but the radio waves there will soon spread all over the world.
The key place to be conquered is Wall Street.
The frenzy of the stock market in recent years has made more and more Sam's people join the industry of stockholders.
The stock market opened at nine o'clock, and before seven o'clock, there was already a crowd of people outside the various trading floors.
I have to say that the principle of order in Westerners has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The first person standing there automatically became a line, and the people who came behind came to line up behind him one after another.
In the crowd, the homeless people shuttled even busier, saying the same thing.
In the eyes of senior stockholders, ten or fifty dollars is not called money, and the tips they get are naturally more.
"Oh my God, this Rockefeller, Lao Tzu bought their stock."
"What? You also bought it? ā
"And me!"
"Me! 30,000 shares! ā
"I, five thousand eight hundred shares, just arrived yesterday afternoon."
"No, sell it as soon as it opens, otherwise no one will pick up the meat when the time comes."
"Yes. Look at the Europeans, they call themselves rich, and they have servants to serve them. It's like 2580,000. They buy any stock they see! ā
"Oops, shit, fuck, how are these sons talking to Europeans?"
"It doesn't matter, those European guys don't understand English. One by one, I speak English so badly. ā
"It's not right, the people are nodding and frowning. Spicy next door. They understood. ā
"! Don't be afraid, we will sell as soon as the market opens. Anyway, we're Sams. Definitely have priority over the Europeans. ā
"Okay, throw it all! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that there are no fools to take over! ā
"Nima, there's even worse news, Morgan Bank has suffered a waterloo!"
"What? My hard-earned money. You can save all of them in zĆ i. ā
"Not good. This dude fainted, call an ambulance! ā
"You go call first, I don't have time! I need to hurry to the bank and get all the money out! The Eurasian Bank is so awesome, so it will be deposited there. ā
"Wait, I'll go too, I'm coming in a car, who's that? You go with me. Isn't your money in there, too? ā
"So we're going to the bank, what about Morgan's stock? I've got 3,600 shares. ā
"I have wow too. More than yours. Gotta tell your wife to go to the bank! ā
"Isn't it possible for me to withdraw money?"
"It doesn't seem to work! I wrote a power of attorney for her. ā
"Who has paper on them? The shops over there are open, they have them there! ā
"Let's go, go buy it. Come, John, I'll line up here and give my daughter-in-law a call. ā
"You also have to inform my daughter-in-law, do you know her number? I just bought a Yanhuang mobile phone, I'll give you the number. ā
The action in the market soon reached the ears of the two families.
These two companies themselves rely on information to make money, and every time they get the first opportunity, how can they not attach importance to intelligence work?
For a while, the two families jumped and made a mess.
"What? Aren't there a couple of oil fields in the Middle East? Who's going to toss there again? ā
"There has been a mention of yƬ, it is estimated that for the time being, Soviet Russia will not be defeated from Afghanistan."
"It's hard to say, even a lineup of people dare to drive troops to invade."
"yes, that's why the plan was put on hold."
"Why did the news leak out? Could it be that there is a mole in the company's top management? ā
"Not necessarily, it may be that our enemies have found out that the news has been spread."
"Go check, check everyone in the company, even how many minutes they stood on the belly of which girl last night."
"Isn't that a big fuss? Chasing after the wind and shadows will make the company panic. ā
"Still making a fuss? You're an idiot, right? The stock market is full of negative news about us. You have to know, if they all sell their stocks, how much will they lose? ā
"It's because of the stock market that we can't be distracted to probe the source of the news and concentrate on making the stock market stable."
"That's right! Mobilize the funds that can be mobilized and go all out to save the market! Whoever wants to buy it we are all going to follow! ā
This is what happened in the Rockefeller family.
"When are we going to buy Eurasia Bank? You all have stiff wings? What's that called? No man is content! ā
"I haven't heard of this, but there was a plan to annex them at Sam's Branch."
"What are you going to swallow up? Won't they draw money from elsewhere to stop us? ā
"Remember, I'm talking about a plan, and I didn't even write a word!"
"But yes, now that the news has leaked, the banks in New York are going to go on a withdrawal frenzy, do we have that much money to deal with the crazy depositors?"
"Enough, where is there so much liquidity at once?"
"If it doesn't work, we have to move cash from other places as quickly as possible, and let depositors know that we have sufficient cash flow."
At the entrance of the stock trading center on Wall Street, the crowd had already exploded, and they were all like ducks with their necks stretched out, looking forward to it.
"Check it one last time and report it right away!" On the intercom of the security department, the manager's voice was heard in every corner. ā
"The East Gate is normal!"
"No problem with the East Second Gate!"
"East Sanmen OK!"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"Please note at all entrances that the crowd is much more restless today than ever, and order will be maintained as soon as the doors open."
"Roger!"
One by one, the shutters opened, making a rattling sound.
The New York stock market is open! (To be continued......)
