Chapter Seventy-Seven
The admonishing agent was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, of medium height, thin, with clear eyebrows, and his face flushed with excitement, and his dark blue suit trembled on his body. Cheng Shigui glanced at the other agents, and the others all looked at the two of them secretly, waiting for the results of the president's treatment, but he didn't expect him to smile slowly at this time, "Yuan Lang is it!" Very good! You're the first employee to stand up and question the company so far. I appreciate that you have the courage to think about the company and increase your salary by 20% from now on. ”
Cheng Shigui smiled lightly, dazzling both men and women in the office. It turned out that the president's smile was so tempting.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Yuan Lang calmed down and said that he didn't expect such an unexpected gain from a 'blunt admonition' now.
"However, now, as an employee, please do what you are ordered to do and go back to your job. Right away! Short selling the Hang Seng Index. Cheng Shigui said.
"Yes." The other agents also came to their own hands, and there was a 'crackling' keyboard sound one after another.
When the Hong Kong stock market closed during the day, it fell slightly, because it was short-selling at the immediate price in the intraday, and the Hang Seng Index contract could not see much profit and loss for the time being.
Fang Monan was leisurely eating takeout, and the computer showed that the time was 20 o'clock in the evening of October 16, which was 10 o'clock in the morning of New York Eastern Time, and the Wall Street stock market had already opened. All the people in the office did not leave, and continued to fight on the front line.
With the end of September and the beginning of October, a large amount of money has been in place, and Cheng Shigui announced that all transactions have been stopped and waiting for instructions. Diao Rong in Europe, Yang Fan in Japan, and Allen in the United States also received the same order. Everyone is speculating that something big is going to happen.
"Alan, I'm Fang Mennan, from now on, sell the YM Dow Jones Industrial Average contract, and all accounts will start at the same time, all of which will be executed at the immediate price!" Fang Monan picked up the phone and slowly gave an order, and also gave the same order to his aunt.
After Cheng Shigui heard it, he walked out. The command was given, and the office began to get busy again.
The wait was long, watching the index slowly climb up little by little, the agents all stared at the display screen in horror, opened their mouths wide one by one, and several people couldn't help but take out tissues and began to wipe the sweat on their foreheads and faces. They looked up at the tightly closed door of the president's office and went back to work.
After Fang Monan coaxed the two babies to sleep. Came behind Cheng Shigui, "How is the market?" ”
"It's still rising!" Cheng Shigui said, "The loss is not small now, and Alan is under more pressure than me now, so he must be more anxious." Hehe......"
"It's okay, don't worry!" Fang Menan said calmly. "Go get someone to buy some late-night snacks to relieve the tension."
There was a suffocating tension in the operation room outside, as if time had frozen in. Although Cheng Shigui was worried, seeing Fang Monan's calm appearance also relieved his nervousness.
"Good!" Cheng Shigui asked someone to buy back the supper, and before he could eat a bite in front of the computer, the index began to fall. "It's falling." Cheng Shigui pushed away the table and hugged Fang Monan. After putting it down, he rushed out again. The New York stock market, thousands of miles away, fell in less than an hour with the shouts of "falling" from the brokers outside. It fell below the price at which they were shorted, and it continued to decline.
Fang Menan listened to the applause outside. By the time of closing, it fell by more than 100 points in one day on October 16.
It seems that history is not going to change, it is really powerful. Fang Monan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On October 19, 1987, the famous Black Monday, the global stock market crashed in panic, leading to the emergence of the world financial crisis. This is something that a person who knows a little bit about the stock market knows in later generations.
The reason for this is that on October 16, the New York stock market took the lead in falling, and after the two-day holiday, on October 19, 1987, the famous Black Monday, when Uncle Sam was still sleeping, Cheng Shigui and a group of agents looked nervously in the operation room, staring at the display screen without blinking. On this day, in the Asian market, the opening gong of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was not finished, and stock prices plummeted. The Nikkei 225 fell by 620 points, or 14.9%; Subsequently, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 421 points, or 11.3%, and also set a record for the highest one-day decline; The UK's FTSE100 index fell 249.6 points to 2,053.3 points, and investors lost £50 billion. Then it spread to the global stock market, and it fell sharply one after another.
During the day, Cheng Shigui, Diao Rong, Yang Fan, and Allen were all commanding this money-grabbing war in these four places, and the whole world was in mourning.
Due to Cheng Shigui's large short selling, the Hang Seng Index fell worse than in the previous life after closing, Cheng Shigui clapped his hands and said: "Everyone is tired, right?" Rest for a while and fight again in the evening! This month, everyone will be paid double salary, and the bonus will be calculated separately! ”
There were loud cheers in the operation room of Longteng Company, and more than a dozen brokers and handymen, regardless of gender, old and young, hugged each other and danced disco! There was a lot of joy. On the contrary, the outside is a bleak, gloomy and misty scene. Except for the Cheng family, the reason is simple.
That night, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on New York, and the last hope was pinned on New York. Financial investors and speculators all over the world are watching Uncle Sam stand alone in the crisis, and turn the tide with great might!
But saving people from fire and water, the Yankees have always been very fond of doing it, and it is not so high-spirited. I often do it when I fall into the well, and I enjoy it. This superpower, which was just established two hundred years ago, is full of vitality because it is young, and similarly, it is not calm enough because of its youth, and it is more than impetuous.
The New York stock market failed to be a lifesaver for the drowning and, on the contrary, staged a "final madness". The long-standing bull market in the New York stock exchange fell in a shocking turn on Monday, October 19, 1987, when the stock market opened, the screen flashed, and thousands of heads were rushed. Suddenly, a strong wind rose from the ground, and the stock price fell rapidly. In just three hours, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 508.32 points, or 22.62 percent, and the total value of stocks lost in one day was staggering - twice the total value lost during the 1929 Wall Street crash. In the chaos. More than $600 million worth of shares were sold off. The stock market crash caused a huge panic among investors in Western countries, with many millionaires becoming poor overnight, and thousands of people having a nervous breakdown and committing suicide by jumping off buildings.
Compared with the excitement of the agent in the operation room, in the president's lounge, Fang Monan and Cheng Shigui were drinking tea very calmly.
Cheng Shigui said: "After this busy day, we have made a total of 50 billion US dollars from all over the world. Coupled with the original $30 billion, the current capital exceeds $80 billion. He looked at Fang Monan's tightly knit brows, "Hehe...... If you have more money, you will also be troubled. ”
"Yes! Vexation! What is most lacking now is not money but influence, because wealth without the guarantee of political power is a piece of fat and cannot last long. "Fang Monan's original mind was simple, that is, to make more money in his previous life, after all, the old man said well, 'There is money in the family. Don't panic. It's like it's a lot of fun. After thinking for a long time, Fang Monan said: "At present, we must increase the penetration of industry, and only by mastering the important industries of some countries can we have a certain voice in this country. ”
Cheng Shigui nodded and said, "The established direction remains unchanged, and we will step up implementation." ”
On the morning of October 20, HKEX made a historic announcement of a four-day suspension of trading from October 20 to 23 in order to clear a large number of outstanding settlements. So Cheng Shigui adjusted the work and rest time of Longteng Company, resting during the day and going to work at night. Continue to keep an eye on U.S. stocks.
On October 20, Eastern time, the New York stock market continued to fall sharply, and the state was extremely crazy.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Fang Menan picked up the phone, "Allen." Close the position! Said calmly and resolutely.
"Boss, isn't it still falling now?" Alan yelled loudly on the phone.
Cheng Shigui also looked at her suspiciously. "You can't underestimate Uncle Sam's financial strength, just take it when you see it. Close the position! "Do you think that the world is in mourning these days, and countries will not take action. Close the position. Fang Menan said to Alan on the phone.
"Hey!" Alan agreed, put down the phone, and hurriedly went to the next operation room to give instructions.
"Let's do it here, Japan, London, and other places will not move and close their positions by the end of the month." Fang Monan said to Cheng Shigui
In just a few days, Fang Monan's assets have been able to grow to 100 billion US dollars, almost the highest per capita GDP of the previous country. And that's not even counting the future value of the companies that Monan wants to buy after this month.
Of course, all of this has been handed over to Cheng Shigui, Diao Rong, Yang Fan, and Allen, and her task now is to take care of the children and stay at home to study well.
"South-South really, the New York stock market has rebounded." Cheng Shigui stared at the computer screen and said.
It's Wednesday night, after a two-day plunge in the New York stock market, the government, financial predators, and giant funds have come to the rescue, and the U.S. stock market has rebounded strongly.
"The extremes of things must be opposed, this is common sense!" Fang Monan smiled and replied.
There was a knock on ......the door.
"Come in." Cheng Shigui said.
"Mr. Cheng, we want to invite you to the bar to celebrate." Yuan Lang said shyly, daring to raise doubts when the president gave an order, he now seems to have become the spokesperson of the agents.
"Good! It's time to celebrate. From tomorrow, everyone will have a five-day holiday, and they will officially go to work on the 26th...... Well, this month's salary will be paid in advance to tomorrow, and the double salary and bonus will still be paid according to the old time. You go and inform everyone. Cheng Shigui said loudly, and then saw the warm cheers in the operation room.
Yuan Lang smiled and retreated, Cheng Shigui turned around and entered the lounge, he stood at the door, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go!" ”
Fang Menan shook his head, "I wish you all a good time." ”
"Okay, do you need me to bring you something to eat?" Cheng Shigui asked.
"No, you don't."
"Then I won't be here tonight, go back and take a shower and change clothes." Cheng Shigui said as he walked out. Closed in the office for a few days, he wants to go home and rest, tense his heart, and relax.
In the blink of an eye, the lights out on the entire floor walked out. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
