Autumn in New York City in mid-October is getting stronger, and the green leaves of Central Park are turning yellow when you look at them from the tall buildings.

In the early morning, fog covered the island of Manhattan, and two vultures flew through the dim skylight, adding to the gloom.

"It's a good day~" In the St. Regis hotel suite, Hall stood in the floor-to-ceiling window and poured a large glass of iced Americana into his stomach, he hated jet lag.

Monte stood aside in a formal suit, his hands stretched and tearing his tie back.

"Boss, we can go." Brandon stepped on a three-joint oxford, making a slight "creaking" sound on the wooden floor of some years.

Hale imitated his old mother's appearance, pulled out the square towel in his breast pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then threw it to Monte.

"Thanks, no, I'm a little out of breath with this damn tie, now it's okay." Monte smoothed the wrinkled white shirt, "...... Are you sure? ”

"Let's go." Hall did not answer.

On Wednesday, October 14, New York time, the Dow Jones index opened with a flash crash.

Hall bought a large amount of short Dow Jones Index [CFD], 50 million pounds.

"It's falling, it's plummeting, it's still falling!"

In a café near the New York Stock Exchange, Hall was flipping through a copy of "When the Stars Shine" on his legs, and Brandon was watching the first-generation mobile phone that came out last year.

During the lunch break, Monte gasped and ran in to inform that the Dow Jones index had collapsed.

"This is just the beginning, so are you less stressed now?" Hall closed the lightly sweat-stained page and said flatly, "We should have enjoyed a meal in the Goldman Sachs building or in the hotel room at this time. ”

[CFD] is an over-the-counter transaction, and there is no reason for him to run to the exchange with a position of hundreds of millions of pounds, before Brandon said that Monte went to the exchange to be useless, in order to relieve the pressure.

Right now, three people are also doing useless work to relieve stress!

It's just that as the boss and leader, Hall can only say with a disgusted face, "I'm here to accommodate you and help you two relieve pressure." I definitely won't admit that I am sweating in my crotch now!

The transaction involving nearly 100 million funds is the first time in his two lives, and his mood is indescribable.

"Ring, ring, ring." The phone sounded, and Brandon picked up a mobile phone about the size of an airplane table.

"It's a call from the St. Regis Hotel, and Ms. Caroline and Mr. Benjamin are here." Brandon said in a low voice.

Hall knew that Helena was not coming, so he smiled, "Let's go back and ask them to order a table for lunch." What do you want to eat...... Well, German food, I want to eat pork knuckle. ”

…………

"I prepared a whole set of rhetoric to persuade you to go back to London on the way here, and when I got off the plane, I received the news that the Dow Jones had plummeted, and I changed my mind."

In the dining room, Caroline sat across from Hall.

Hall took a bite of sauerkraut and a mouthful of mashed potatoes: "It's good, so what do you want to say now?" ”

"Your mother has found his home address and is going to send a lawyer's letter to his company withdrawing all the funds; And repay the money you borrowed from your classmates, with interest. Draw cash and prepare a stop-loss plan. ”

Caroline looked at Benjamin, Monte and others who were happily smoking together in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere at the door of the restaurant.

Hall frowned and put down the knife and fork: "That's what she said to be cautious?" ”

"First of all, she's your mother, and then Helena Hall." Caroline looked back at the former, word for word.

“…… I'm sorry. Hall was speechless.

Caroline was silent for a moment to pick up the topic again: "I didn't ask Lawyer Benjamin to send a lawyer's letter to Monte's company, but the funds were withdrawn.

There is now £15 million in funds, and there will be cash to be drawn in the future, which will take a little time. You'll have to share the current operation with the team I brought in, and they will come up with a stop-loss plan.

Then, talk to your mom on the phone and calm her down. If the financial risk you mentioned really happens, she needs to be calm and face ......"

Hall suddenly felt that the food in front of him was out of taste, and stood up: "I'll go talk to her on the phone." If the situation is beyond my control, the team you bring in will come in to take over. Until then, don't hit Monte and Brandon, I promised them. ”

…………

On October 14, New York time, the Dow Jones index closed with a plunge of 3.81%, and Hall kept his position unchanged.

In his memory, the Dow Jones index will fall in the next two trading days, and it will be transmitted to the Asian market led by the red sky, because of the time difference, the Asian market that opened first collectively crashed.

Then this downward wave was transmitted back to North America, Europe, and Black Monday swept the world.

Because he did not understand the intraday market fluctuation range, the 55 times leverage would be liquidated if there was a slight fluctuation, and Hall's original operation plan was to reduce his position on the same day.

Since Caroline brought in a big sum of money, play big.

…………

On Thursday, October 15, on the morning, the Dow Jones index opened in the red and rebounded.

"2428, 2429, the Dow is already 2433 points......"

"Goldman Sachs asks for a margin call!"

In the quiet room, only Monte and Brandon each held their phones and reported the situation loudly.

Hall looked at Carolyn, "I need funds." ”

"As agreed, my team should take over the current situation." Caroline didn't care about saving his face.

Hall said "sorry" in his heart: "How much security deposit do you need?" ”

"200, no, 250, how much does it cost your mom to mess with Fake?!" Monte turned his head and shouted, "Three million pounds." ”

Hall and Caroline looked at each other silently, and as the minutes ticked by, Brandon's dry voice kept reporting the Dow Jones rising.

Monte scolded and scolded out of the black voice: "Hey, listen, your mother can't mess with Fak like this, our risk hasn't reached the risk control line yet, how much has it risen, and there was ...... room for decline yesterday"

"Monte, hand over your phone." Carolyn said.

The former hesitated slightly, looked at Hall with bloodshot eyes and didn't get any response, and his cheeks stirred: "Shit! ”

"I've already submitted my resignation letter, you can't control me now, I wanted to say it yesterday...... Old man, don't touch me, we are in a cooperative relationship now, don't think that I won't dare to hit you if you are a lawyer......" Monte struggled to protect the phone, and his mouth was not honest.

Benjamin commanded his team to come up and grab Monte's phone, and several of them tore apart, and Monte's Mediterranean hairstyle was messed up like a bird's nest, and the scene was messy and unseemly.

Brandon put down the phone and rushed forward in three or two steps to join the battle.

"Campbell, are you sure?" Caroline said unabashedly threatening.

Brandon's mind spun rapidly, and he looked directly at the other party and forcibly controlled his tone: "I'm pretty sure that my father served the Hall family for more than ten years, and I used this as an example.

Without Hall's permission, I must be loyal to Hall's Honorable unless you take the phone with your own hands.

This is a promise I made in the study of the Palace of Orange, under the witness of the portraits of the Halls of the House of Barons! ”

As soon as these words came out, the few people who grabbed the phone suddenly stopped moving, and Benjamin's old and cloudy eyes lit up with a light that had never been seen before.

"Do you hear that, yes, that's it, it's a Hale family business, I'm doing something for His Excellency Hall. Old man, you'd better be polite to me, Lord Hall will inherit the Baron's ...... in the future" Monte is incoherent.

"Okay Monte, do your thing" Hall didn't let him say any more, "Aunt Carolyn, I'll explain it to you after the incident, I really need this money now." You watched me grow up, right, in my heart you are like my mother. ”

“…… Mr. Benjamin, connect with Monte for funding. Caroline compromised.
