Chapter 95: Opportunity to Make a Fortune
Lead, a man who looked like a small leader, shouted angrily: "Location! Where is the epicenter? Binns, speed! ”
"Kings, magnitude!"
A technician pounces in front of the computer and types commands quickly, and another screen begins to leap with numbers.
There was also a screen that began to show a map, constantly zooming in, like the pupils of these people on the scene - it was in L.A.!
Leader hugged his head in fear, the most terrifying thing was not to know that there was a super earthquake, but to see that an earthquake was happening.
California is located on the Pacific Rim plate, with many geological faults, and nine of the top ten earthquakes in the history of the United States occurred here, and it may become ten in the future.
In 1906, there was an 8.3-magnitude earthquake in San Francisco, another 6.9-magnitude earthquake in San Francisco in 1989, and a 6.7-magnitude earthquake in 1994 in North Ridge, Los Angeles, which caused dozens of deaths, nearly 10,000 injuries, and direct economic losses of more than $30 billion.
The Northridge earthquake was actually an important inducement for the establishment of the Canadian Land Bureau, and the insurance companies at that time lost their money!
But these are pediatrics!
Everyone knows that there will be bigger and more earthquakes in California due to the squeezing of the North American plate by the Pacific plate, and some even say that it will be a super earthquake, no less than a magnitude nine.
Everyone knows what it means to have a magnitude 9 earthquake in the most economically powerful state in the United States, and every day, every night, every hour, there are countless new surveillance devices closely monitoring all the fluctuations under this land.
Today, the volatility is suddenly unusual.
This fluctuation is naturally caused by the mountain-shaking technique.
Kings quickly shouted, "The magnitude of the earthquake is not big! It's less than five degrees, but the epicenter seems to be very shallow! ”
It's really shallow, and the real earthquake should be from the inside out, like Sean on the rooftop upstairs with a steel pipe... The steel bar dances in the square, and the waveform produced must be different from the wave from the underground source.
Although, it's all waves!
"The shape of this wave... It's so strange..."The three of them looked at the trembling lines at the same time, why did they look so beautiful, so full of art?
…...
Although the Canadian Territory Bureau is an insurance agency, they are really doing real monitoring work, because there are many, many interests involved, and it is not worth mentioning to set up a tens of millions of dollars of geological monitoring system around California.
These costs and inputs will eventually be added to the premium income extracted by the Canadian Land Bureau, after all, although earthquakes are frequent, not every time there is such a big loss, and there must be a place to go with such a large amount of income year after year.
The pay here is very good, the night shift subsidy is very high, and you can also play games, and Leader is the team leader of today's night shift team.
Seeing the long-awaited scene, he didn't know whether he should be excited or... Excited.
"Where, map zoom in!" He shouted.
Soon, the results came in: "The center is in the South District of Los Angeles... Midley Street! Binns stared at the screen.
On the screen, a red dot flashes constantly on the map.
Leader asked, "Are there any of our people around?" ”
"Nope!"
"Ask the police for help! We're going to take a look. ”
"The energy has dropped!" Binns shouted.
"There's news on Twitter!" Kings held up his phone, "A massive shootout broke out on Midley Street, it seems to be a gangster fire!" ”
"It seems that the building has collapsed, but the surrounding buildings have not had much impact." He quickly pulled down the screen, and more breaking news popped up, and that's the efficiency of new media.
"So, it was caused by explosives?" Leader touched his chin in thought.
"Quite possibly, look...," Kins pointed to the screen, "the energy was three minutes ago when it started to fluctuate upwards, and then here... Reaching the apex... Flying down..."
"Explosives! There is no doubt about it! ”
"Then we don't have to go?"
"I'll go tomorrow morning, I'm so tired now!"
"Shootouts, explosives, that's not our life!"
"Kings, write the report, EQE may want to rebuild the risk model with this, and those insurance companies need to make new insurance contracts based on this." Leader organizes his work with composure, which is his job duty.
Obviously, even if it is a fake earthquake, the insurance company will act randomly, for good reason, and the interests ... Huge!
"Will the rates go up?" Picking at his hair, Kins asked, he hadn't bought a house yet, and the insurance rate was tied to his wallet.
"A must." Leader didn't respond, and took out his phone.
"But what about the land price?" Binns interjected.
"Uh," Leader scratched his face, "I think... That's why it's cold-treated. ”
"Cold treatment? What would it say? Even explosives affect housing prices in the city, right? Kings asked curiously.
"Well, there's a special person to take care of this." Binns scoffed, "Do we have a chance to speak on stage?" ”
Leader raised his hand to interrupt the two of them's nonsense: "Well, how did the stock market operate last time when he said this situation?" ”
"The preferred option is to short sell oil! Buy more gold! Sell USD Position! Kings pulled up the memo from his phone and read it.
"Hurry!"
The three of them picked up their phones at the same time, of course, not the game just now.
They want to close deals quickly before the news is released.
It's nice to be so close to wealth!
…...
Plans are always made in advance, including disaster relief measures in reality and operation in the financial market.
California is like the economic thigh of the United States, which has the largest population and the largest number of industries in the United States, and if there is an earthquake here, or there is a possibility of a major earthquake, the financial markets of the whole world will swing.
The news is bearish for the United States, the U.S. exchange rate falls, gold rises, oil falls, the stocks of all listed companies in California also fall, and... Those listed U.S. real estate companies will also be taken down.
The S&P will fall, the Nasdaq will fall!
Global Internet stocks will also fall!
The entire stock market of those countries that rely on the US market will also fall!
Those stocks that can't be explained will also be smashed in advance by people with intentions!
It's half past ten in the evening, and the U.S. stock market is not open.
But in the global market, every minute, there is a part that can be bought and sold.
Europe, Asia, Australia......
At this moment, countless traders have stared at the screen with wolf-like eyes, smashing out a huge number of sell orders, these actions were made before the news was released.
And the news will quickly sweep the market after the transaction is completed.
As for whether a major earthquake is really happening... Is that heavy?
Obviously not important!
Making up rumors, spreading rumors, and refuting rumors are the most common phenomena in the information society, and the life of rumors is always accompanied by the transfer of huge amounts of wealth.
If you want to get other people's money into your own pocket, you have to have a good sense of rhythm.
"Oh yes!" Leader waved excitedly, he had already shorted the dollar with maximum leverage.
"Oh yes!" Binns also jumped up, "I'm shorting oil with maximum leverage." ”
"I bought gold futures... Why don't I feel like I'm making much? Kings looked up, confused.
"Don't worry, we can still operate a wave before the official clarification announcement is released, and you can do it the other way around when the time comes." Leader patted him on the shoulder, "Now, go get to work!" Someone came right away. ”
The so-called doing things is to pass the news to the people who should be given, as for whether it is the first time, it is actually only a minute away, but it is enough.
…...
The sound of music over Midley Street had died down and been replaced by the sound of police cars.
The whole street is as silent as a ghost prison.
Policemen, it's finally time to collect the body!
No, they're actually here to pick up meteorites.
It's all an opportunity to make a fortune!
