A Century-Old Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island Chapter 335
"Hey~ I'm the cover~"
Gai Li connected the phone, but in the next second, his relaxed expression froze instantly, and the swinging boss chair stopped shaking.
He stood up suddenly, his complexion changed drastically, and he looked like he was gulping down.
"What? How did this happen?"
"Fack, I'm going right now!"
Gai Zi hung up the phone in a hurry, and walked out of the office with a flustered expression, almost tripping over the carpet at the door.
...
October 5, 1987.
The sun was shining above Niuyue, and the breath of autumn was blowing red leaves to fall to the ground, as if telling everyone that today's stock market must be red all the way as usual.
·
At 8 o'clock in the morning, financial elites from all over the world started a new day of work. The streets of Wall Street were crowded with people, and traders in major financial companies began to pick up their phones and prepare to contact customers.
The air of Wall Street was filled with the breath of money again, and everything was still so busy and orderly.
Fit Byrne is an old stockholder. He is in his forties. He participated in the South Vietnam War when he was young. His right leg was injured and hit by a bullet. He still walks a little bumpy.
That was when he and his teammates went to sweep a small village and were injured by an earth mine.
Fortunately, the power of the landmine was not strong, and he lost his life.
After returning to China, he bought a truck with his pension and started a freight business. As the business expanded, he also made a lot of money.
Later, under the leadership of friends, I started to get in touch with the stock market, and I made a fortune by buying stocks for the first time.
Since then, Byrne has become more and more interested in stocks.
This thing doesn’t need to bump and carry goods outside all day long, doesn’t need to make oneself dirty and tired all day, and doesn’t always have to worry about accidents, car accidents or robberies on the road.
In short, although the stock is also risky, it is like white powder, which makes people obsessed and unable to extricate themselves.
As a result, Byrne went further and further on the road of stockholders, earning and losing money over the years.
A few days ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Byrne bought a lot of stocks of Internet companies.
Many people say that the Internet is the future development trend of the world.
To be honest, Bourne doesn't understand what the Internet is, but he can understand line charts.
After companies such as Microsoft and Cisco went public, their market value rose like crazy, and Bourne's eyes were envious.
I can't help regretting that if I had bought the stocks when they were just listed, my value would have doubled now.
But it's not too late, and stocks in the Internet industry are still rising.
So, Bourne took all his money to buy Microsoft's stock.
The time slowly came to 8:59, Bourne was sitting in the exchange, looking at the big screen above, excitedly waiting for the opening of the market.
Chapter 579: Green [Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】
In the past year, both the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones have risen rapidly, and the entire stock market is full of frenzy and rage.
The U.S. economy is growing at a high speed, products are dumped all over the world, and people are making money everywhere. It is only natural that the U.S. is the number one country in the world.
Everyone's pockets are bulging, and excitement and joy are overflowing on everyone's face.
This day is Monday, nine o'clock in the morning.
"Dangdangdang~"
With the ringing of the bell of the Niuyue Stock Exchange, a new day begins.
In the trading hall, the big screens were opened immediately.
Bourne stared closely at the screen, seeing that the red number was still beating on it, and Microsoft's stock rose by another 6 percentage points.
He just thinks that the most beautiful thing in the world is nothing more than this.
He put all his money into Internet stocks, the hottest sector in the past two years.
Still red.
After this day, his worth will rise again.
"Hahaha~"
Bourne grinned, glanced at the price increase after the market opened, and calculated his property in his mind.
One hundred and thirty thousand dollars!
This is all his net worth, which is already a huge sum of money.
Don't think that Americans live in paradise. In fact, most Americans only earn one or two hundred dollars a week.
Moreover, we have to repay the mortgage, and we have to pay property taxes and property fees every year, which is a lot of expenses.
Therefore, there are many homeless people in the United States. They are all people whose houses were taken away by banks because they have no money.
On average, most Americans don't even have a few thousand dollars in their pockets.
With $110,000, Bourne is already considered a small rich man.
At this moment, he liked this damn capitalist society more and more, and he liked this land of chaos, violence and decay.
At this moment, he thanked the federal government, thanked God, thanked the great country of America, and thanked everyone.
He is so happy.
Others in the exchange were also full of undisguised cheers, chatting enthusiastically with each other and sharing their investment experience.
The stock market is still going up. Their wealth is still increasing, and the United States still maintains the miracle of economic growth.
"I am the king of the world~"
Bourne wanted to howl loudly at the world, he was very excited, and he urgently needed someone to share his joy with him.
When he was driving a truck before, his wife disliked him for being poor and quarreled all day long. After giving birth to a child who turned out to be black, Bourne was furious.
The woman ran away directly, and Bourne would not raise this little nigger, and sent him to the orphanage.
So now he is alone.
He immediately thought of the little model he met in the bar a few days ago. It was a Bashi girl with a big ass and a hot and open personality.
Bourne couldn't wait to share the joy with her, and picked up his mobile phone.
But when he finished pressing the number, the expression on his face froze in an instant.
He stared blankly at the big screen in front of him, and opened his mouth, forming a big letter 'O'!
Shock!
Bourne couldn't believe his eyes at all, what was going on?
A moment ago, the screen was still glowing red, but suddenly it seemed to be enchanted by an evil magician, and almost all of it turned green.
And on the largest screen in the middle, a row of large green characters is clearly displayed:
"Dow Jones Industrial Average down 76."
It actually fell?
At this moment, everyone in the exchange seemed to be enchanted, and they were all stunned, and the space froze for a moment.
In the next second, there were exclamations of disbelief in the exchange.
"What? What happened? Why did it turn green?"
"Oh, NO, I must be dreaming, hit me quickly."
"I mess with Falke!!!"
"NO, this must be fake, I don't believe it."
...
The delicate voice of a woman with a big butt came from the mobile phone, but Bourne didn't realize it, and stared blankly at the screen in front of him. At this moment, he was really dumbfounded.
The haze enveloped the heart, the whole body was cold, and the world seemed to be full of chills.
"Everything has turned green~"
Bourne murmured softly, then his whole body trembled, as if he had thought of something.
In the past ten years, there has never been such a thing that turns green at the same time
So wish there was only one!
"Hurry up~"
Bourne yelled frantically in his heart, and quickly ran towards the exchange's telephone.
He must throw away all the stocks he holds in the shortest possible time, and he must stop losses in time.
But what he can think of, others can also think of, and these people are blindly following the trend by nature.
The exchange is in chaos, and the telephones and trading windows are crowded with people, scrambling to sell their stocks and cut their losses.
It's a pity that there are too many people.
Even though all the telephones were working non-stop, and even though all the traders' hands had become numb, most of them still had no time to escape.
Another few minutes passed, and the stock was still falling, like a river with its gates opened, with no sign of stopping at all, and the green area on the screen was getting wider and wider.
"It's over, it's over, my million is over."
"Fuck, Fuck, how could this happen, how could..."
"I don't believe it. It's all fake. The stock market is still going up. No, no, it can't be like this. Yes, it's all fake."
"Oh, God, how can you be so cruel, that's my life savings."
"..."
At this moment, there was a huge wailing sound in the exchange, everyone was insane, and they didn't believe what was happening in front of them.
How they hoped this was just a dream.
Unfortunately, the Dow is still falling, everything is so real.
Their world fell apart because many of them put their entire net worth into the stock market.
Even cars and houses are mortgaged.
Now all this is going to go away from them, and they will be worse than bums with heavy debts.
The same goes for Byrne.
The stock in hand could not be sold, because no one would take over at this time.
His savings for so many years, his wife Ben, are all gone!
He stood in front of the big screen in a daze, his face dull, his eyes dull, and he walked out step by step as if completely unconscious.
Chapter 580: The Black Storm Sweeping the World 【Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】
Inside the Niuyue stock exchange and major financial trading companies, there were countless heart-piercing cries, cursing and shouting.
In the VIP room of the exchange, Gai Zi looked at the constantly jumping green numbers on the big screen, his expression was unprecedentedly ugly.
blacken!
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"Why did Microsoft's stock drop so much and why did all the stocks turn green."
Li Li roared crazily, out of breath, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
The subordinates of the company behind him and the traders of the exchange were silent.
Dave came out and said with an angry face, "This must be a stock market crash."
Stock market crash?
Hearing this name, everyone's face changed drastically. They will not forget the stock market crash ten years ago. Although the outbreak was not in the United States, the United States was also deeply affected.
