Chapter 697 [Flash Crash]
Lao Mei directly on the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology at the same time, this matter was confirmed to be implemented, and the impact was not only as simple as these two giant companies, but also how many upstream and downstream industrial chains were involved.
As a result, at the opening of trading on Monday, January 29, the shares of Bluestar Technology Group not only plummeted without suspense, but also led the world's major stock indexes to dive collectively.
The Côte d'Azur is not listed, but none of the suppliers that rely on its upstream and downstream industrial chains, especially North American suppliers, can run.
U.S. stocks fell the most in eight years, and on the same day, the three major North American stock indexes plummeted by more than 4%, of which the Dow fell 4.42%, the S&P 500 fell 4.37%, and the Nasdaq fell 4.81%, and the Nasdaq 8,000 points fell before it stood firm for a few days.
$3.37 trillion evaporated overall.
At this time, more investors did not hesitate to participate in the shorting of Bluestar Technology, and staged a sharp turn in the market, which further led to the collapse of the stock price.
In just one day, in the U.S. stock market without a drop limit mechanism, such a large plate of Bluestar Technology Group fell by 47.18%, and there was no intraday adjustment rebound or anything like that, almost pulling down in a straight line.
The closing price of the day was $450.13 per share, and the total market value fell to $904.223 billion, directly falling below the integer mark of the trillion-dollar market value.
In addition, the Philadelphia Semiconductor ETF fell by 4.78%, and all large technology stocks were dragged down and frustrated, and they plunged together.
……
Mexico.
In an ordinary office, Wang Xin and his team members are all there, and at this moment the US stock market has closed, they are conducting a simple review.
One of the traders looked at the panel and said, "My God, is this the scene of the fairy fight?" ”
Another trader looked at the K-line chart of Bluestar Technology and said to himself: "It took nearly five years to rise from 900 billion to 2.1 trillion, but it took less than a week to hit from 2.1 trillion to 900 billion......"
Wang Xin also sighed: "It can be seen that behind this financial war, how tragic the fight is, this war without gunpowder is not much compared with the hot war, and the United States has only lost more than 6 trillion US dollars in the Middle East world for so many years......"
In fact, this fight has almost used all the means that can be used other than hot war, and economic warfare, financial warfare, scientific and technological warfare, cyber warfare, intelligence warfare, public opinion warfare and other dimensions are carried out at the same time, and the firepower is fully opened.
It's just that in the end, it is reflected in the stock market, and it is reflected in the numbers, which do not deceive people, but they can also kill people and make people commit suicide.
After a while, one of the traders present sighed: "I don't know how many people are queuing up on the rooftop this time......"
Another trader suddenly said to Wang Xin: "Boss, judging from the disk, the headquarters lost extremely miserably this time, will we ......?"
Wang Xin shook his head when he heard this, and said very firmly: "It is impossible for us to lose in the general situation, the headquarters has already given me news before the thunderstorm, and now the futures contract in my hand has skyrocketed to four times, and the book floating profit exceeds 33 billion US dollars, what does it mean?" It shows that the headquarters has known the news for a long time, and I even suspect that all this is a big chess game carefully planned by the headquarters, and the real reversal is afraid that it has not yet been staged. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and a trader was stunned and said: "Meaning, this is Mr. Luo smashing his own plate?" Is he shorting himself? ”
Another trader immediately chimed in: "Hack...... This is not clear, it is not the first time that Mr. Luo has done this kind of thing, but he didn't do it in the legal sense, but he is strategizing in it, don't forget that our super boss In addition to the title of technology giant, there is another title - big short. ”
The trader just now also nodded suddenly: "It's also true, a series of black swan events such as the subprime mortgage crisis, the debt crisis, and the shale oil and gas revolution caused the collapse of crude oil, which time did not have a big boss?" Otherwise, why did he rely on more than ten years of accumulation to get to where he is today? Do business? It may not be possible to do it for another twenty or thirty years. ”
Wang Xin clapped his hands in fear and said: "Okay, okay, don't discuss these behind your back, go and see the market, and from tomorrow onwards, the contracts will be closed and shipped one after another, and the contracts for the next April and May will be tightened." ”
……
Times Square in New York, a single flagship store on the Cte d'Azur is crowded at the moment, and the entrance of the retail store has been occupied by all kinds of people, but they are not here to buy products, but to protest.
Many people held up signs with slogans such as "Get out of the Azur," "Boycott the Côte d'Azur, boycott Bluestar Technology," or "Split it, try him," among many other protest signs.
There are those who follow the trend, some who are instigated, and some who take advantage of it, but the shareholders in the crowd who are really angry and buy Bluestar Technology stocks, and some of the unsuspecting liquidations with leveraged funds are bankrupt, so they vent their anger here.
There are also some people who want to take advantage of the fire to rob the electronic products in the physical store, catch up and shout to boycott, but in fact, they can't wait to rob them all.
It's just that these people are too naïve, thinking that they can use it if they snatch it away, and they don't know that the Cote d'Azur can lock all the products at any time, and if they don't unlock it, they will turn their heads together.
"Hey man, if I were you would quit immediately and join us on the side of justice. Don't you know how evil your boss is? Are you still serving him? Willing to be his minions? ”
In front of the retail store, a protester confronted the security guards guarding the door, trying to verbally persuade the opponent.
However, the response from the other party was a cold and unforgiving warning.
"Please stand back ——!"
The protesters did not do anything more than that, and most of them knew that until the Federal Court had issued a clear freeze on the assets of the Côte d'Azur, or until they were defined as illegal, these private property was sacrosanct and that security personnel could respond violently.
As a result, there was a protest on this side, and security guards on the other side were guarding the door.
The protester still kept preaching, but the security guards guarding the door were indifferent no matter how much the other party tried to teach and instigate them with moral high ground, and always did their job without saying a word, and ignored them as long as the other party did not cross the red line.
Join you in the protest?
What are you kidding, whoever pays them will work for whomever they want, these security guards are not stupid, joining them is tantamount to unemployment, and most of these people who are protesting now are a group of people who have nothing to do and are cynical, either unhappy or unemployed, etc.
Not only this flagship store, but one-third of the offline single flagship stores in the United States are surrounded by protesters and cannot operate normally, and they have to send people to guard them, otherwise the façade will have to be demolished.
It's okay to pay overtime, and the Côte d'Azur doesn't lack this money, and it's just right, it's good.
In addition to the flagship store, the headquarters of Blue Star Technology North America and the headquarters of Cote d'Azur North America were also surrounded by protesters and media reporters.
Not only offline protests, but also online, North American netizens have called for a boycott of Bluestar Technology and Cote d'Azur products on social networking platforms such as Blue Space, MicroBlog, and Reddit forums, and have also posted boycott video content on BV Video Network.
Because Luo Sheng has a clear instruction to only monitor, analyze, sort out and do research on the recent outbreak of public opinion, without any intervention and control, and let it ferment freely, all major social media platforms of Bluestar Technology have boycotted the content of Bluestar Technology.
In this situation, boycotting Bluestar Technology and scolding Luo Sheng in foreign countries has become a popular element nowadays, and if you don't get involved, it's out, most people have no purpose, just watch everyone do it, and follow the trend.
The situation abroad has also been transmitted to the mainland one after another, and some videos have also been moved to China, which has also caused a discussion.
"Well, boycotting the products of Bluestar Technology on the Internet service products provided by Bluestar Technology, I didn't expect it to be so magical at the beginning of 2018."
"Crooked netizens are also very helpless, almost all of the most influential social media platforms on the Internet are products of Bluestar Technology."
"Anyway, it's been almost two weeks, and the archbishop won't come out to take care of it? Just let them hack like that? Is it unmanageable or not? ”
"It's really dangerous this time, many foreigners have begun to uninstall the apps of Bluestar Technology, no wonder the stock market will plummet in half."
"I don't know if the archbishop will survive this."
"I can't understand why I didn't come out and respond."
"I think this time is really not optimistic, I just went to check a set of data, last week's APP download data showed that the international version of Douyin short video Tik-Tok downloads suddenly rushed to the top5, in recent years, the headline system has risen rapidly, and the sea is also quite smooth, in the current Internet has gradually entered the stock era, has stolen a lot of traffic from Bluestar Technology, I don't know if this time Tik-Tok will become the biggest winner this time."
"This is indeed a variable, and I have also seen several popular UP masters of BV Video Network announce their switch to Tik-Tok."
"Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing, there is a person who can make the archbishop sleep badly, and it is also good for consumers, monopoly will inevitably create killing, not to mention that Tik-Tok is also a product of my country going to sea."
In the eyes of foreigners, Luo Sheng is evil, but in the eyes of domestic netizens, it is a hero idol, this is a matter of ass is greater than the problem of attitude.
Of course, eating inside and outside is another matter, and there is no shortage of schadenfreude when something so big happens.
It is worth mentioning that due to the impact of this incident, a large number of foreign netizens have indeed switched to the Tik-Tok short video platform, and many foreign big Vs have called on netizens to switch to Tik-Tok, they don't realize that this is actually one of Luo Sheng's industries, and even Zhang Yiming, the founder of Toutiao, has not realized that Luo Sheng is behind his respected angel investor Anaheim Capital.
Not only has its position as the Internet supremacy not been shaken, but it is constantly expanding its boundaries and becoming more unbreakable.
Even Zhang Bowen, the No. 2 person in Bluestar Technology, didn't know that Luo Sheng's lack of response was actually to indirectly support Tik-Tok's ascension.
