"The financial market is so chaotic now, it's getting more and more chaotic every day!"
Zhu Ke read several today's morning papers in a row, and felt that Wall Street was really crazy enough, and it was a ruthless person who made money from national disasters.
dong dong dong~
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
Girlfriend Lima was wearing a pair of red shorts and a white shirt, holding a plate in her hand with milk, bread, and breakfast meat on it. She walked over slowly.
"Dear, you got up really early today." Lima sat next to Zucker.
"certainly."
Zucker took a glass of milk, drank it immediately, and said with a smile, "I have to fly to New York this morning, so of course I have to get up earlier."
Hearing this, Lima said with a little surprise, "Why did you apply for the flight route so quickly?"
Zucker pouted and said, "It took two days to successfully apply for a private jet flight to New York, which is still fast? If this was put on hold before the 9/11 incident, I would be able to get the flight done with just one phone call, how could it be so slow now? ."
After the 9/11 incident, strict air traffic control became the norm.
The truth is exactly what Zucker said.
Before 911, Zucker could easily find a route with a single phone call. Not now, after all, this is the time when the follow-up impact of the 9/11 incident will be the most severe. Well, the person who applied for the flight route, that is, Zhu Ke, otherwise someone else would come, let alone two days, even ten days, it may not be able to do it.
"Well, you're going to New York this time,
Is it because of Gale Capital? "
Lima asked.
Hearing this, Zucker shook his head and said, "There are reasons for this, but... not all of them. Well, Michael Bloomberg, you know?"
"Of course I know."
Lima replied: "He is the boss of Bloomberg, the world's largest financial information company, and now the mayor of New York, and a regular on the Forbes rich list."
Zucker nodded and said: "I'm friends with him. Now that 9/11 happened in New York, his life is not easy, so he called on our rich friends to hold a charity fundraising event."
"I have to give his face."
When the voice fell, Lima suddenly realized.
......
noon.
Zucker's personal vehicle, the Rolla, successfully landed at New York International Airport.
In the past, after Zucker and his party got off the plane, whoever passed the security check would quickly leave the airport.
However, today is different.
"Mr. Wald, I hope you can understand, be considerate, and cooperate with our security inspection work," said a leading US military officer.
Behind him stood more than a dozen heavily armed American soldiers.
Zucker nodded: "My people will cooperate."
No way, the current counter-terrorism situation is so severe, even if Zucker is a well-known billionaire in the United States.
In fact, not only Zhu Ke and his party, but at this moment there are also a large number of social elites and rich people, who have undergone very strict security checks at the VIP exit of the airport.
"Damn terrorists, if it weren't for them, I would have arrived in New York two days ago, why would I have been delayed for a few days? And this security check is too strict, I almost took off my clothes, bastard ."
A rich man couldn't help scolding because he was dissatisfied with the strict security check.
Others present were also dissatisfied.
The US military officer in charge of the security inspection said again: "I'm sorry everyone, I hope you can understand and cooperate with our work."
His attitude was humble and full of smiles.
After all, there are many rich people and social elites present, and he and his soldiers can't afford to offend.
This is also the norm for VIP exits at the airport for the past few days, but if you change to the normal airport exit, would you look at the security check again?
Ha ha!
In contrast, you will find that the security check at the VIP exit of the airport is already very gentle. If you change the ordinary port, if you dare to complain to the security personnel, these American soldiers may have a gun butt hit you.
Don't think it's unbelievable. In the days after 9/11, it was not uncommon for passengers to be thrown away by American soldiers at the airport.
It is not uncommon for passengers to be taken away on the spot.
Financial markets are chaotic, but what about airports?
"what?"
Just as Zucker was waiting for the security check, he suddenly found an acquaintance.
—John Menard Jr.!
He is the largest real estate developer in Wisconsin and the owner of Menards Home Improvement, one of the largest personal home improvement chains in the United States.
Menards Home Improvement Company, with a market value of $6 billion;
His personal wealth is more than 2 billion US dollars
By 2020, John Menard Jr.'s personal wealth will exceed 18.8 billion US dollars, making him a proper boss.
He and Zucker are friends.
At the end of 2000, Zucker spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the Dedepage Manor, and the subsequent renovation of the manor was undertaken by a company under the name of John Menard Jr.
"Hi, Menard!" Zucker greeted proactively.
"Huh? It was you, Zucker!"
Little John Menard saw that it was Zucker, and he was very enthusiastic at the moment.
Don't look at his name as "Little John", in fact, he is not young, he is 60 years old this year.
The two chatted briefly.
During a chat, Zucker learned that he came to New York from Wisconsin this time to participate in the bidding for the renovation of a mall in New York; at the same time, he also accepted the founder of Bloomberg and the mayor of New York Michael Bloom. Invitation to a charity fundraiser initiated by Berg.
After more than 20 minutes...
Zucker and his party and Menard and his party just finished the security check.
"Menard, then we'll go our separate ways." Zucker said goodbye.
Little John Menard nodded and smiled: "Of course. But it doesn't matter, we will meet in three days. After all, we have to give Michael Bloomberg's face to some extent."
......
New York - Gale Capital.
"boss!"
In the huge conference room, a group of Dafeng Capital executives and senior partners headed by President Andy Chelop got up immediately after Zhu Ke arrived.
Zucker squeezed his hands and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk. Ms. Claire, you are the company's chief data analyst and one of the senior partners. Tell me about the state of the US financial market in recent days. Well. After all, the news I learned from the media is not very reliable."
Hearing this, Chief Data Analyst Claire got up immediately.
"Recently, the financial market in the United States, whether it is the stock market, foreign exchange or futures market, can be described as a mess. A group of investment banks with the background of the Federal Reserve, led by Willis Investment, have been frantically for several days. Shorting aerospace stocks such as American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue Airways can be described as simple, crude, and predatory.”
"According to the information I have received, the total amount of these investment banks in the past few days will not be less than 30 billion US dollars."
"Of course, that's why I'm constrained by the data, which is a conservative estimate."
"At the same time, capital groups from Asia, Europe, and Australia have been in the North American financial market in the past few days, and they can be described as frantically attacking cities. They have swept over at least US$100 billion in funds."
......
Zucker suddenly interrupted: "Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and other five major Wall Street investment banks, have you participated in this short sale?"
The five major investment banks on Wall Street have always been the focus of Zucker's attention.
They are the bellwethers of financial markets.
"Boss, I can say responsibly that they all participated in short selling!" Claire said firmly.
Zhu Ke nodded heavily and said, "Sure enough...the wealth is so small! Even if they know that they may face huge fines from the federal authorities after the incident, they still can't sit still!"
The faces of Andy Chelop and the others twitched slightly.
In fact, if it wasn't for Zhu Ke's efforts to block it, the executives of Gale Capital would not be able to sit still!
You must know that after the sudden outbreak of the 9/11 incident, in the past ten minutes, when Andy called Zu Ke, he offered to participate in this gluttonous feast.
Making money is the first principle in the minds of Wall Street people!
Andy Chelop couldn't help but say, "Boss, are we really not participating? You know that's hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every day!"
He still couldn't help but speak.
The executives present were unable to remain calm in the face of huge gains.
You say, don't you worry about reckoning after the fall?
It confirms the saying that people make money and birds die for food. People always have a fluke mentality, which has nothing to do with the amount of personal wealth. What's more, Wall Street people are crazy in their bones, trampling on all legal and moral things in society, they do a lot.
Zucker rejected Andy's proposal again!
"Short action in the financial market, whatever you say, I don't support it in the near future."
"But we can do more than that!"
Zucker said slyly: "You said, if the US and the US House of Representatives approve Bush's war action, will the military industry stocks soar? Will the futures markets of oil, soybeans, corn and other important materials usher in an outbreak?"
Approve war? !
As soon as these words came out, the audience instantly exploded.
