Chapter 167: The NASDAQ Crash

No one can withstand the wrath of Warren Buffett, who is a man of the word in the world's financial circles.

When the order was issued, the busiest was his secretary, not only to inform the heads of the news, but also to communicate with HR about how many masters of mathematics there were in the group.

During working hours, the group personnel are basically in the building, and the real ten minutes, no more than one minute, no less, the financial industry, is to race against time.

When Warren Buffett stepped into the group's conference room, his gloomy face swept away, and the elites in straight suits jumped up, as if they were being reviewed.

White shirt throughout, black suit. These people, with the top salaries on Wall Street, go in and out of all the high-end establishments, and today is the time to contribute to the group.

"How many people in total. Warren Buffett asked the female secretary behind him.

The female secretary dialed her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Thirty-five." ”

Buffett's brows furrowed even deeper, it shouldn't be just these people: "Why so few?"

"There are very few master's students in mathematics, and the largest number of undergraduates will basically switch to finance and economics when they go to graduate school. The female secretary was expressionless, and the boss ordered to go down, and she got the information from the HR manager.

"In the future, I will be recruited to increase the proportion of mathematics majors, reduce the proportion of finance and economics year-on-year, and under the same conditions, mathematics education is preferred, understand?"

"Yes, boss. ”

The conversation between the two was very loud, and the employees present were all mathematics professionals, and they couldn't help but feel very happy when they listened to it.

Could it be that the spring of mathematics is coming, and even the most popular financial and economic computers are being suppressed?

Today, the shock to Warren Buffett is too great, in the past, his company employees, naturally focused on economics and finance, after today, mathematics, he is listed as the first choice.

Perhaps not only him, but the world financial community, starting today, will refresh its views on mathematics practitioners, who can not only study theoretically, but also calculate the world.

"Everyone. At the long conference table, Buffett stood on the main seat, with a straight face, and said: "Today is the most critical moment for my investment group, please be careful and attentive." ”

Buffett's tone is quite polite, and compared with the embarrassment and strength before leaving the office, it is a 180-degree change.

This situation, only the female secretary next to him understands, and the gang was asked to get out of the gang when they were late, but now they are actually pleasant, it seems that the boss is really focusing on mathematics, and he wants to talk to the HR manager. The boss this time, it's for real.

"Yes, boss. The men and women on both sides echoed in unison.

Buffett nodded, and made up his mind that after today, he would set up a model and promote one or two to the top.

These people are all middle-level members of the group, mainly responsible for behind-the-scenes data monitoring, and rarely participate in front-line management.

"There is only one paper in this issue of Nature, and this paper is about my finance, and everyone has given me 100 points. I want to know in half an hour whether he is right or not, and how influential he is. ”

Buffett's voice fell, and the female secretary distributed a thick stack of magazines, and the group subscribed to a total of more than a dozen copies, and also distributed them to various offices, which was not enough for one per person.

After all, it is a highly professional magazine, and it is far away from the financial circle.

The secretary thought thoughtfully, and had already ordered someone to empty the group's printer and make copies of the originals as much as possible, and finally collected dozens of copies within ten minutes.

When the data went to the employees on both sides, Buffett said: "The steps on the left can be carefully and slowly, and the last formula on the right is the final conclusion, and it is the most important thing." ”

A group of elite men and women opened the notebook in front of them, began to calculate at hand, and talked to people with their ears.

Warren Buffett sat down in his seat, lifted the sleeve of his suit many times to check the high-end masonry watch in his hand, and every time the second hand moved, it seemed to hit his heart.

The silence of the boss, the old employees are more attentive. A solemn atmosphere permeated the conference room.

Only Warren Buffett understands that now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the moment of his life and death.

When the stock can predict, then what is the meaning of his identity as a stock god, he will be knocked down from the altar, and everyone will be a stock god.

His right to speak, his investment vision, was a complete joke, no one would believe him anymore, and his investment group began to collapse.

In the capital market, the stock price of the company he invested in has reached nearly $200,000 a share, which is the result of his decades of hard work, and shareholders beat the drum and pass the flowers to trust him to bring them money.

"$200,000 a share is the world's highest stock price. Starting today, how much will it fall?"

Thinking of this, Buffett felt a sadness in his heart, could it be that decades of hard work are like clowns, which are not worth mentioning in the eyes of mathematicians? Why did such a mathematician appear, and why did he become an enemy of the financial world.

"Why don't you make a fortune in obscurity and announce the world, this kind of person should not exist in the world at all. ”

All sorts of pessimism and anger filled his mind, making his eyes bloodshot and his breath short.

Three minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes.

"The formula has its results. Someone shouted.

Buffett, who had just taken medicine to suppress his emotions, heard the news, his brain surged up, he covered his chest and panted, and said, "Say it quickly." ”

"80.79% accuracy. ”

As soon as the results were announced, everyone in the office was silent. The probability is so high, 8 times out of 10 operations, even Buffett doesn't dare to say that he has such a high winning rate.

"It's over, it's over. Buffett's eyes went black, and the world was spinning. The empire of capital collapsed, and he seemed to see everyone in the world laughing at him, a god......

Seeing strong winds and waves, Buffett quickly adjusted his mentality.

"No way, let me count it again. Buffett roared, and the results were obvious, but he didn't want to believe it.

Ten minutes later, the results came out for the second time.

80.78%, which is almost indistinguishable from the first time.

The employee who reported was afraid that he would not be able to trust the boss, and explained: "We have counted the stock trends of the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and London indices in the last three months, and we don't need to calculate it anymore, this is the result." ”

Yes, no matter how many times, the only truth of scholarship, he has stood the test of time. Right is right, wrong is wrong.

"Oh no, the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ are open, everyone. An employee suddenly screamed.

Warren Buffett looked at the time, it was busy from 8 o'clock in the morning, and now it is 9:30 o'clock, and the U.S. stock market is open.

The world's largest capital market affects the world's financial and economic trends with every move.

Today, the Nasdaq index opened down 6.25%, and the NYSE index fell 5.73%, and the market was panicked and everyone was at risk.

This is a bigger crash than the '08 financial crisis, and it will be an eternal chapter in the world's financial history.

A formula, in an instant, evaporates 42.1 billion on the NASDAQ and 85.9 billion on the New York Stock Exchange.

"More than 120 billion dollars, just evaporated. Warren Buffett's heart is like a knife, this is still retail investors have not received the news, and the current operation is that the capital giants are fleeing.

The biggest investors are retail investors, and when they understand the causes and consequences, they are more pessimistic about the capital market, then this number will expand.

"Maybe today, the U.S. stock market has at least 300 billion yuan of market value evaporated, why is this?" Buffett covered his head with a headache, "This is a global disaster, does the author want to drag down the world economy in order to be famous?"

It's the first day, and that's just the American numbers. Tomorrow, more stock markets will open with a plunge and more market capitalization will evaporate.

This time the harm will surpass that of previous economic crises.

The world panics, the world shakes.
