Chapter 52: Black Monday
Gonzalez happily signed a contract with Natalia. Since then, he has been a contracted fighter under www.biquge.info the umbrella of Extraordinary Boxing Promotion Company.
His training, accommodation, match promotion and a series of other matters will also be handled by Extraordinary Boxing Promotion Company. Now that Gonzalez's residence was too shabby, Natalia asked him to move to the Victory Boxing Gym and then rent him an apartment next to it. As for training, Jenon can be used as a concurrently man. However, a fighter needs a complete team of all aspects to help comprehensively.
Natalia has been busy for a while, talking about the match against Soto for Lin Yecha, as well as arranging Gonzalez's upcoming match. She is the only one in the extraordinary boxing promotion company, and she has to find office buildings to rent offices and recruit employees. Lin Ye's team also had to recruit manpower, medical assistants, physical assistants, target specialists, masseurs, physiotherapists, sparring partners, and so on.
Norton recommended a sparring partner to Lin Ye, Canadian Vernal. With more than 40 professional fights, the fighter has a lot of experience and fitness, but he is slightly less powerful and has never won a belt. Naturally, the income is very small, and due to his poor performance and lack of fame, his promoter has terminated his contract. Lin Ye practiced with Vernal in actual combat, and felt that Vernal's strength was very good, so he let him be his sparring partner, and gave him a salary of 900 US dollars per week.
Other team members, such as the physical assistant and the target hunter Jenon, recommended two of them, which are very good candidates in the industry. As for masseurs and physiotherapist medical assistants, Natalia was recruited through a headhunter. Lin Ye's small team was roughly set up.
In the past few days, Lin Ye has been training as usual. At the same time, I am looking forward to September 15th more and more.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the calendar has flipped to September 15, 2008.
Morning.
New York, a bustling city that never sleeps, still continues the hustle and bustle of the day. Wall Street, in southern Manhattan, is already dark. It is the financial center of the United States, and the managers of banking, insurance, shipping, and railroad companies such as the Morgan chaebol, the Rockefeller oil tycoon, and the DuPont consortium are concentrated here. The famous New York Stock Exchange is also located here, as are the headquarters of the most important exchanges in the United States, such as the NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange, and the New York Board of Trade.
The street, which is only one-third of a mile long and 11 meters wide, is manipulating and influencing the country all the time. Affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the situation on Wall Street has been declining recently, the shock and crisis in the financial market have become more and more intense, and the panic has been suppressed. Wall Street businessmen are praying in their hearts that the situation will improve and that the crisis will pass as soon as possible.
On this day, however, a thick haze enveloped the place, and an inevitable violent upheaval was about to erupt.
In the wee hours of the morning, Lehman Brothers' lawyers filed a bankruptcy petition with the court.
This news is like a boulder, falling into the already turbulent lake, stirring up countless waves.
Bichel was sleeping soundly on his queen bed in his luxurious villa in the effect area. These days, Bichier has been under a lot of mental stress, having to take sleeping pills every night and lie in bed for a long time before he can fall asleep.
"Jingle bells."
The phone ringing at the bedside rang for a long time, and finally woke Bichelle up.
He rubbed his eyes, a little astringent, and answered the phone with a cloud of confusion in his mind.
"Bi, Bi, Bichel, no, it's not good."
After Beecher was in a daze for a few seconds, his brain cleared up a little. He said to the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?" Dike? ”
"Lehman has just announced that they have filed Bankruptcy Order No. 11 with the court! Oh my God, Bichel, we're finished! ”
"What?!" When Bichel heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in his heart. A strong panic ran through from head to toe, and as a financial speculator, Bichier and his partners had invested a lot of money in the stock market. This bankruptcy will undoubtedly cause violent fluctuations in the stock market, and will also make Bichier fall into a place of no return.
Throwing down the phone, Bichelle jumped out of bed, picked up the suit hanging on the hanger, and ran to his garage.
Lehman Brothers' headquarters, the scenery is infinite on weekdays, the elite of the upper class in suits and leather shoes, at this time one by one dejected, the face of loss out of the headquarters, when the sun rises, this company will forever become history. The crowd of onlookers was stopped outside by a circle of police cars. Many onlookers looked at them with schadenfreude. For ordinary people, the prosperity of Wall Street has nothing to do with them, and the interests and benefits belong to those financiers, speculators, and securities dealers. They do everything possible to accumulate money through various means. Today, they have come to an end.
At the same time, the nation's suicide rate skyrocketed. One after another, the jumpers committed suicide, leaving the police exhausted.
On this day, it happened to be Monday, when the New York Stock Exchange opened, on the huge LCD screen, the numbers were beating wildly and sliding.
The stark numbers have darkened the hearts of people inside the exchange, and for them, it is a desperate "Black Monday". Beside him, a middle-aged man suddenly choked his throat, made a few hoarse sounds, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell to the ground and fainted.
"It's Bichel, he's fainted."
"Bichel is really over this time. What a glamorous thing it used to be, hailed by Wall Street as the god of speculation, and now, alas. ”
One of the traders looked at Bichel with pity and shook his head.
Natalia stood in the trading hall, looking at the plummeting index on the screen, and turned to Lin Ye in disbelief: "God, how did you know that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt today?" ”
Lin Ye said proudly: "I had a dream as early as a month ago, and I dreamed that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt on this day. So after waking up, I ran here to buy the stock index plummeted today. You see, now my dreams have come true. ”
Natalia looked incredulous, but Lin Ye was just an ordinary person who had just come to the United States, and it was impossible for him to know any inside information about Lehman. She thought about it, and she could only attribute it to Lin Ye's luck.
Natalia said: "It seems that you are going to make a profit, and the financial impact of Lehman's bankruptcy is too great." She looked at the people around her, here today, I'm afraid only Lin Ye is the only one who is happy.
