0187 Black October [Middle Bottom]

At half past two in the evening, the train finally slowly stopped outside the central train station in Boupayne, and Lynch took a deep breath with the small flow of people from the station.

There is a smell of excitement in the dirty air, this is the smell of a big city!

In the city of Sabin, it was so dark after 8 p.m. that almost nothing could be seen, and even in the better areas, the dim streetlights were terrifying.

With the exception of a few central neighborhoods that are lit up all night, most areas are silent at night.

But if you look at it, the whole city seems to be shining brightly, and it is true that there are some places where it is also very dark, but the sky in the center of the city in the distance is like day.

"Sir, do you want to use a car?", the taxi driver who was waiting outside the station took the initiative to ask.

Lynch glanced at him and couldn't help laughing, big cities are just different from small cities, and even taxi drivers are dressed differently.

Taxi drivers in Sabin don't have any uniform clothing and accessories, and they only need to pay a license from the taxi management company to start operating a taxi.

No one gave them any hard and fast requirements, let alone clothing or anything, so when you take a taxi in Sabin, you can always meet a lot of strangely dressed drivers, especially in summer.

It is said that one of the drivers was complained by a passenger that she was not wearing pants and that the driver and the management company were asked to compensate her for mental damages, yes, a female passenger, who felt that she had been insulted in some sense.

Look at the taxi drivers in black uniforms, with a big-brimmed hat, and white gloves, and they look reassuring.

Lynch nodded and opened the door for Vera.

Lynch didn't bring any salute, Vera carried a suitcase, and after the two got into the car, Lynch reported an address, the Boopern Hotel, and the taxi driver immediately started the vehicle.

The Boupayne Hotel is one of the best hotels in Boupayne, mainly used to receive some important dignitaries and celebrities, as well as some visiting foreign guests, many people think that as long as the person who lives in the Boupayne Grand Hotel, he must be a person with status.

This stereotype continues to this day, and even the taxi driver gets a little better when he hears that Lynch is going to stay at the Boopein Hotel.

After about twenty minutes of driving, the whole street has turned from pitch black to bright, looking at the bustling street outside the car window, Vera is a little curious, "Is the security here very good?"

Lynch looked at the driver, "Maybe Mr. Driver knows something." ”

After hearing this, the driver straightened his hat with one free hand, he had not spoken for more than ten or twenty minutes, which almost made him breathless, and now he was finally comfortable, "Sir, madam, Boupayne was safe in the past, but ...... recently"

Through the rearview mirror, Lynch saw a somewhat solemn look on his face, "There are more people wandering around the streets, and there are many robberies every day during this time, and it is said that there were dead people a few days ago." ”

"If it's not necessary, I'd advise you two not to go out at night. ”

Vera sighed a little after listening to it, "I didn't expect it to be the same everywhere!"

The driver seemed to sigh a little, "Life is getting harder and harder now, whether it's here or anywhere else, it's really the same everywhere!"

The taxi driver, who was a talkative person, was questioned by Mr. Lynch about some of the recent untold news about Mr. Boupayn, such as the bond victims from all over the country.

The victims gathered together and demonstrated outside the town hall, the exchange and some financial companies, and it looked very lively.

As he spoke, the car stopped outside the splendid Boupern Hotel, and the doorman immediately opened the door, opened the luggage compartment, and took out the salute for the passengers.

After paying the fare and a tip, Lynch said goodbye to the taxi driver and entered the hotel gate, looking at the backs of Lynch and Vera, the taxi driver couldn't help but sigh, this is the bearing.

Some passengers will start to pick thorns when they get on the bus, and want to reduce the cost of the ride, they will also brag in the car, and they will not respect the driver, let alone tip, this kind of person drivers have seen a lot.

But there are very few people who take the initiative to tip and say "good night" to themselves with a smile, maybe these two are some big shots, and only big people will have such a bearing, maybe this can become a topic of conversation when he and his peers brag.

The next morning, with the help of the hotel's wake-up service, Lynch got up on time, much to his surprise, Vera got up earlier than him and was already waiting for him in the lobby.

After the two met and enjoyed a breakfast together in the dining room, Lynch talked about the main work of the trip.

When Vera heard that he was going to buy bonds, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Are you crazy, those things are waste paper now, are you wrong about something?"

Lynch laughed and said, "So this is a good time, I can buy these things back for the price of scrap paper, and then wait for him to become valuable again." ”

Vera was stunned, "How much money are you going to spend on those bonds?"

Lynch's smile widened, "How much? No, no, no, dear, you misunderstood what I just said about the word 'acquisition,' and I was going to count the money by the pound." ”

"Didn't you say it's almost scrap paper?", Lynch swallowed the cheeseball in his mouth and clapped his hands, "Then give it a price that matches its positioning!"

Vera's head couldn't keep up with Lynch's train of thought and rhythm, and she felt that it was unlikely to succeed for the simple reason.

No matter how worthless those bonds are, they still have a "denomination", and who knows if one day they will suddenly be able to cash in again, and even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, it is unlikely that people will actually throw it away like waste paper.

This is also a more mainstream idea, these bonds are worthless anyway, so why not keep them in your hands?

If this was an isolated incident, then naturally Lynch would not have done it, and he would have recovered the bonds at a very low price at the denomination.

But the situation is different now, because the disaster has only just begun, and people have not yet realized that the two crashes in this month are not the end, they are not even the beginning.

After avoiding this topic, Lynch wiped his hands and stood up, "Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first, maybe things may not be as smooth as I imagined." ”

On Monday, before the three major exchanges opened, many people gathered outside the doors, and the collapse of last Friday made these people lose their old smiles, and they stood outside the gate of the exchanges with heavy faces, talking quietly.

The content is nothing more than to continue to wait and see, or to stop losses in time.

This time, everyone was injured heavily, and in the face of the stock market crash, whether it was ordinary people or those who were rich, they suffered very heavy losses.

The average person may have lost their savings and perhaps some loans, while the wealthy have evaporated their worth in percentage terms.

There is a black fear hidden in the hearts of these people, and some of them are even trembling slightly, the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings are vividly expressed at this time, and there is nothing they can do in the face of such an obviously man-made disaster.

At nine o'clock, the exchange opened, and the traders entered the market first, followed by all the investors, and all eyes were focused on the notice board.

At 9:20 a.m., the billboard began to flip and pre-market trading began, but everyone's faces began to change drastically.

Pre-market trading refers to the trading behavior of non-opening periods, which will determine the opening price of a stock on the day, and at the same time, to a large extent, it also indicates the general trend of a stock throughout the day.

At 9:29 a.m., the tumbling billboards had already made the trading floor look like the scene of a memorial service, and in the last ten seconds, a stock was delisted, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.

At 9:30 a.m., almost all the traders were frantically selling all the stocks in their agency company accounts, and some time ago, no one wanted ten yuan a share of stocks for nine yuan, so it was eight yuan, seven yuan......

As long as someone wants it, no matter how low the price is, it is not impossible to consider, and it took less than fifteen minutes for the Federal Industrial Index, the three major trading indexes, to plummet almost like a cliff.

The shock caused by the financial markets was far greater than the recession of the real economy, and by less than ten o'clock, everyone in the entire federation had already known through various channels what had happened in Bupayn.

Disaster has struck!

Countless scraps of paper that have been torn into pieces are everywhere, these stocks have become inferior to waste paper, and angry traders, investors have completely lost their minds.

The bottomless trend makes people more and more panicked, no one knows when the bottom will be hit, and panic selling has formed.

At 10:10 a.m., the President's Cabinet issued an emergency presidential decree requiring the three major exchanges to immediately suspend trading in order to slow down the irrational panic concentrated selling.

And the president's cabinet press officer held an urgent press conference to list a number of wrong things to deal with, including the federal government's use of some of its reserve funds to palletize it to avoid a bigger disaster.

Perhaps because the decision of the president and the cabinet gave investors some confidence, there was no significant decline after the afternoon open, and after a brief period of flatness, the Federal Industrial Index and the three major trading indices showed a brief rally.

The ever-increasing turnover rate gives people the illusion that everything is really going to get better, and they want to believe it.

However, all of this came to an abrupt end with a violent vibration......
