Chapter 877: Sony's stock fell for the second time

April 2, 2003, along with April Fool's Day the day before, was commented by later historians of economics as the first and most researchable inflection point in the field of economics in the 21st century.

On this morning, many Wall Street traders who had not slept all night were tremblingly waiting for the stock exchange to open, and each of them had a stack of thick materials in front of them, all of which were the news that had been fed back from Japan, the United States, and Europe the night before.

But the vast majority of people believe that there is more bad luck than good luck.

At 8:30 New York time, the NASDAQ stock market opened!

Everyone stared at the Sony Group's stock, and after a call auction, the computer quickly analyzed it, and in just 1 second, the result was that a bright red 24.96% appeared on the big screen, and the audience almost screamed in unison: "OhNo!! ”

Drop Limit! Drop limit again! Sony's stock price exceeded the maximum range set by the system for the second time, and trading was suspended urgently!

It's not a dazzle, it's not a farce in a movie, it's not a computer failure in the Nasdaq stock market, it's a living reality, Sony's stock price fell for the second time, and it dragged down other high-tech stocks, and they crashed again!

The fast-moving operators began to pick up the phone and sell other stocks in their hands, and the traders who still had a hint of illusion were stunned, staring at the red 24.96% on the big screen and muttering to themselves.

They still don't want to believe that this is something that has never happened on Wall Street, plummeting 25% for two consecutive days. What a panic it must have been for such a thing to happen!

"Look! Microsoft plummeted by 15%! Oh buy karma! What's going on? ”

"OMG! EA Inc. is down 22% and Disney is down 7% ......"

"Crazy. The world is crazy! It's red again! In the first five minutes of trading, the Nasdaq index fell by 3.7% overall! ”

The traders screamed. One by one, they pointed to the big screen and couldn't believe it, all the scrolling screens of the New York Stock Exchange were red, not a single green one, and the whole army was wiped out!

There were already people foaming at the mouth and fainting on the ground, others were so frightened that their legs fell to the ground, the trading floor was in chaos, there were pieces of paper scattered everywhere on the ground, the security guards hurriedly carried away the unconscious unconscious, and everyone else was running. Talking on the phone, shouting loudly, hoarse, people have beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads, their hands are shaking, and they can't even speak clearly.

After more than half an hour of chaos, the Nasdaq index slowly stabilized and recovered, and after the initial panic, the big bookmakers took a step to support the market. Shares of strong companies have started to recover, and several other indices have recovered.

Only a small number of companies related to video games and PC games have plummeted, and most of the other IT companies have only fallen slightly. There are even several listed companies related to Dragon Entertainment Games that have seen their stock prices rise by more than 10%, such as the Parker Brothers, because they are responsible for almost all of the North American sales of Dragon Games merchandise. The stock price is up 21%!

SonyShock, LongShock. These two words are in the mouth of every stock person, economists from all over the world. Stock analysts, they unanimously believe that the huge riots in the financial markets in the past two days are caused by Sony Corporation and Dragon Entertainment Games.

Sony is its own death, the stock price fell to blame others, two consecutive 25% plunge, indicating that the market is extremely dissatisfied with it and uneasy, this is a public relations crisis, Sony must find a way to quickly get out of this quagmire, deal with this crisis, otherwise it will be suppressed to the point that no one cares, it is difficult to turn over.

Although Long Teng didn't seem to have done anything, but they are the out-and-out driving force behind the scenes, when Sony was hit hard, Long Teng kicked Sony in the back, as if he felt that Sony was not dying fast enough, they not only kicked Sony into internal bleeding and fell to the brink of bankruptcy, but also wanted Microsoft EA and these companies to be buried with Sony!

While the stock markets in Europe and the United States are wailing, China and Japan are two very different scenes.

The end time of the U.S. stock market is 3 p.m., China is 4 a.m., and Japan is 5 a.m., and the Japanese have been touring all night since the U.S. stock market opened at 22:30 Tokyo time.

After learning that the U.S. stock market continued to plummet during the day, the angry Japanese people rushed into the headquarters building of Sony, and the riots began to escalate, beating/smashing/looting, and even the fir fire and annihilation incident appeared, a large number of rioters/gangsters rushed into Sony, attacked the security guards left behind, smashed all kinds of office equipment, and a group of organized criminals were looting/looting Sony Electric franchise stores in various places.

On this night, the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department dispatched 5,000 police forces to maintain law and order in cities across Japan, and a large number of Japanese teenagers took to the streets, attacking the police officers hiding behind explosion-proof shields with stones and burning bottles, and there were fierce clashes with the police force of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In many large cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, and Kobe, not only young people participated in the riots, but also many middle-aged people, women and children who had been bewitched, and the situation was quite muddy.

Look at China again, also from 9:30 p.m., Beijing Animation and Game Industrial Park, Longteng Computer World, Shanghai Animation and Game Culture Industrial Park, Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base, Yangcheng Animation and Game Industrial Park, in these major cities, the Chinese people spontaneously organized, sang and danced, lively and jubilant, held cosplay, distributed leaflets, and even folk band performances, 100-person Longteng Square Dance, and fireworks show were organized.

The Chinese government also dispatched 5,000 police officers to maintain law and order in these places, escort citizens, divert traffic as much as possible, leave enough space for people to cheer and celebrate, and the excited but rational Chinese celebrated until 1 a.m., basically all dispersed, and went home to rest.

For no other reason, during the day, A-shares rose 7%, from 1405 points to 1503 points, standing firm at the 1500-point integer mark, 1230 listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets have a total of more than 400 stock limits, all stock analysts, securities companies, financial media commentators, have interpreted the grievances between China Longteng Entertainment Game Company and Sony Group, and the struggle between Microsoft, the harder Sony falls, the worse the Nikkei falls, the higher China's A shares rise.

In the middle of the night, people have already got the exact news from the US stocks, Sony's second drop limit, EA drop limit, Microsoft plummeted 18%, and all European and American IT companies competing with Longteng all fell, you can easily expect that tomorrow morning, A shares will definitely be at least not less than 7% skyrocketing!

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, on this day of universal celebration, such a good day would be a great regret in life if it weren't for the stock of your Longteng Entertainment Game Company!"

-- The famous financial commentator Buffalo Leather said this on the financial channel of Suzhou Province, he said this with envy, if Longteng really intends to go public, it can become the stock with the highest price of A shares in minutes, and he Buffalo Leather will definitely not brag.

In addition, well-known Chinese economists Wu Jinglian and Mao Yushi also published their own blog posts, hoping that China's largest private enterprise, Long Teng, will prepare for listing, and believe that it will become one of the blue chips of China's A-share market and become an important economy affecting China's economy.

In the eyes of these experienced academic scholars, Longteng, who holds the important economic lifeline of the country, can still save zĂ i in the form of private enterprises, which is really a miracle among miracles, not to mention Longteng's achievements in the game and animation industry, China's game and animation industry has accounted for more than 6% of domestic GDP this year, and the leading enterprises in the industry are not listed, which makes all economists embarrassed!

"What's the market? I don't need money, what kind of market do I go to? Yang Yun didn't care at all.

In terms of cash, he can come up with billions of dollars at any time, he invests more than $5 billion in research and development every year, he hires a professional management team to manage the business for him, and the salary paid every year is 200 million, he can sell millions of sales around the world with a classic game casually, his research and development cost is almost zero, does he need to go public?

"That's not what you said, you are a leader in China's animation and game industry, and when China's stock market is booming, if you are missing as an engine, it always feels like something is missing." Zhao Yongping said.

Yang Yun shook his head: "Then let the Chinese animation and game companies that have benefited from this feast owe me this favor, if one day I am treated unfairly, as long as they help me speak." ”

Zhao Yongping laughed: "Who dares to let Longteng be treated unfairly? You are a national hero! ”

"Here we go again......"

Yang Yun couldn't cry or laugh, he looked at the memo, the secretary gave him a lot of things to do, Yang Yun looked at them one by one, and vetoed them one by one.

Invitation to the WTO Seminar of the Ministry of Foreign Trade...... Push it off, no interest!

Chinese mainland Film and Television Entertainment Industry Summit invited him to be a guest ...... Don't go!

The inauguration ceremony of the National E-sports Association under the General Administration of Sports of China?

Yang Yun looked around, only a little interested in this, and asked Zhao Yongping: "Do you know about this event?" ”

Zhao Yongping nodded: "I heard about it, I didn't specify that you have to go in person, I think we can let our e-sports club send someone over to have a look." ”

Yang Yun thought about it, made another call, and suddenly became interested: "I'll go in person!" (To be continued......)
