Chapter 652 556pokeni Can Win This? !

Masayoshi Son was really scared.

His mind went blank.

Colleagues around him didn't realize what was happening, but Son clearly understood how terrible the impact would be.

He had bet a lot in the United States.

As a gambling god in the investment world, Son has invested a lot in the Internet field in the United States, and many of them followed the trend of Qingzhiyuan.

What Apple, Google, Nvidia... a lot of things.

Before the Nasdaq bubble burst, it had already suffered a lot of losses. Recently, Apple changed its leader and finally recovered some blood, but it didn't expect to suffer such a big blow.

"It's over, the US stock market is going to fall!"

Suddenly a voice shouted.

Everyone was so scared that they hurriedly looked at the plates in their hands.

Sure enough, the whole line was red.

The increase and decrease of the US stock market are just the opposite of China. China's increase is red, and the US increase is green.

China's decrease is green, and the US decrease is red.

According to some sayings, CQG's programmers may not know the original rules of "red rise and black fall".

The "green up, red down" rule they set for the K-line is mainly based on the color coding convention that originated in the West and is universal in the world - stop at red lights and go at green lights.

"White teeth, white teeth, white teeth, white teeth..." One of the colleagues covered his face, not knowing whether he was heartbroken or had a toothache.

The number of employees at SoftBank headquarters is not large, but they are basically elites in the financial industry. With the training of a boss like Masayoshi Son, everyone is very sensitive to economic fluctuations.

So after seeing the news, they can immediately calculate what will happen in the future.

"How could this happen?"

"A sudden disaster from the sky, I can't predict it!"

"Who the hell knew that today would be like this."

"How could I repair it! Who could have predicted such a thing? I'm afraid even Mi Lianchu himself didn't know it?"

In fact, there were some conspiracy theories in the previous life, that is, some so-called senior officials and related people in the United States actually knew about this vicious incident a long time ago, but kept it secret. Some people secretly shorted, and the amount was not small, before the incident.

Is this statement reasonable?

Judging from the evidence and the chain of suspicion, there may be a very, very small possibility and coincidence.

But from a deeper level of analysis, it should not stand up.

You have to know that in 2001, the United States was the world's largest country.

And the United States is the largest country in finance.

The World Trade Center Twin Towers are both 110 stories high, and most of the offices there are financial companies related to Wall Street, such as Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers, Aon Group, etc. It can be said that it is a "financial window" that New York shows to the world.

If the inside story is really known, there is absolutely no reason to let so many people die.

This is a financial bridgehead.

But it was directly hit by a plane.

Let alone Masayoshi Son, the Americans themselves are dumbfounded.

…

SoftBank, in a situation like today, must hold an emergency meeting for the entire company to discuss future plans.

All the original arrangements were disrupted.

Everyone around Masayoshi Son was in a mess, those who needed to make calls made calls, and those who needed to sell stocks quickly sold them.

Although it was night here, it was daytime in the United States, and it had not been long since the market opened.

If you sell too late, there will definitely be a big drop, and you won't be able to keep your money.

...

Half an hour later, Masayoshi Son took the initiative to call Qing Zhiyuan.

"What's wrong?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled when he saw that it was Masayoshi Son's number.

This guy is indeed a smart guy in the investment industry. He knew about such a big thing in the United States at the first time.

"It's not good, President Qing."

Masayoshi Son's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"A terrible thing happened in the United States. Two planes hit the Twin Towers at night, no, during the day in the United States. Now the US stock market has fallen sharply."

"Yeah. I saw the news." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?" Masayoshi Son was stunned on the other end of the phone, as if he didn't expect Qing Zhiyuan to be so calm.

You, you have invested a lot there, right?

Just Google and Nvidia, Pokeni has a lot of shares, and even Pokeni owns a part of Microsoft shares.

But why does Qing Zhiyuan's tone sound like he doesn't feel distressed at all?

Or has this person been scared silly?

However, the next sentence from Qing Zhiyuan directly frightened Sun Zhengyi.

Qing Zhiyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying leisurely, "This is a good thing, President Sun. At this time, you can make money whether you short or buy."

"Short? How can it be that easy?" Sun Zhengyi complained, "Now the whole world wants to short the US stock market. The problem is that CDS can only be bought through internal channels before. Where can I buy it now?

And if you don't react in time, it will be difficult to have a chance."

Qing Zhiyuan just smiled calmly and said, since President Sun is so anxious and is my partner, I have been taking care of you for so long. Otherwise, I will give you a top-notch suggestion.

"What suggestion?" Sun Zhengyi looked puzzled.

"The whole world is shorting and panic selling stocks. There will definitely be a big drop in the future, right?"

"Yes." Sun Zhengyi thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Now anyone who plays stocks knows it.

"Then, when the drop is almost enough, we will buy the bottom in two weeks, okay?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

"ha?!"

Sun Zhengyi was stunned for a moment.

Buying the dip at this time?

President Qing, are you a fool?

…

In fact, there is no chance to buy the dip now.

The U.S. authorities responded very quickly. In less than three hours after the incident, they first dispatched a rescue team and then urgently shut down stock market trading.

This is the first time in history that a market closure notice has been issued due to an emergency.

Because Milianchu knew that this incident would have a profound impact on the United States and even the world, investors would sell stocks on a large scale as soon as possible.

As a result, U.S. stocks will inevitably suffer.

The entire national economy will enter a catastrophic era.

In order to stabilize confidence and prevent panic from spreading, the U.S. stock market was shut down in an emergency.

"Damn it! There is still such an operation?!"

Son Zhengyi sat there, staring blankly at the screen, feeling his palms sweat.

When he came to his senses, he found that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

It's a pity that in this case, everyone is rushing to sell the stock, and no one dares to buy it. But this guy Qing Zhiyuan said that he would wait for the stock to fall for two days and quickly buy the bottom.

This is crazy...

This is not bargain hunting!

This is obviously copying your life, okay?

terrible.

Son Zhengyi sighed in his heart.

…

The next period of time was extremely painful for the United States.

The biggest fear in something like the stock market is the collapse of investor confidence.

But now it's clearly broken.

Since two planes hit the Twin Towers, causing both towers to collapse, the confidence of stock investors has plummeted, and it is difficult to lift it up.

Therefore, the United States will decide to close the market as a last resort.

It is not expected to open until December 17th.

During this period, top officials in the United States are already thinking of ways to deal with it.

On the one hand, emergency rescue is dispatched, and every effort must be made to rescue all those who are injured or affected by the collapse of the Twin Towers.

In addition, we must quickly investigate the cause of the incident, and then publish the clues and investigation results so that the general public can feel at ease.

We also need to issue a statement to severely condemn this terrorist act.

Everyone realizes that the collapse of the U.S. stock market is an inevitable outcome, and the key is how to minimize losses.

For this reason, the Reserve Bank of America and the European Central Bank suddenly cut interest rates by 0.5 percentage points each to stabilize people's confidence and support the stock market.

U.S. Secretary of State Powell held a press conference on December 13 and announced that Ben Ledeng had been identified as the number one suspect in the 1211 incident.

The House of Representatives agreed on the evening of December 14 to authorize steps to use force against terrorists.

According to American polls, 120% of the American people support the United States' use of force against terrorists.

…

In order to further enhance the confidence of investors, major TV stations and news media also promoted the stock god Buffett and asked him to endorse rice stocks.

The U.S. stock market was closed on 1211, and Lao Ba knew that as soon as the market opened, the stock market would fall crazily.

Therefore, he must be called upon to give confidence to the stock market.

Lao Ba stated on television that he would not sell the stock.

If the stock market drops, that's when he buys.

Lao Ba said, "I believe that the U.S. economy will overcome the terrible waves."

The media also commented, "Buffett uses his credibility to endorse the stock market and the U.S. economy. Buffett is the kind of person who combines knowledge with action. If he says he can buy, he will definitely buy. If he says he is not optimistic, he will definitely sell. So this That’s where his credibility lies.”

But Lao Ba's credibility is obviously not enough to reverse the panic caused by the terrorist incident.

After the stock market reopened on December 17, the Dow Jones plunged 7%, and the Milidian Reserve also intervened to lower interest rates to support the stock market.

But still, the Dow Jones plunged 14% within a week, setting a single-week decline record.

Moreover, insurance stocks and airline stocks have become the hardest hit areas.

Although Buffett's Berkshire had plans, it still suffered a loss of US$2.3 billion. This loss was higher than any earthquake and typhoon in history, of which US$1.7 billion of losses came from General Re.

In fact, Buffett has been prepared for terrorism. As early as May, he told General Re and Berkshire Re to reduce buildings and customers with concentrated terrorism risks.

Even taking the World Trade Center as an example, Buffett's company became the only insurance company that was prepared for terrorism.

For this reason, many people even use conspiracy theories to suspect——

Was this incident directed and staged by the United States? As a good friend of many senators, I obviously got some inside information, so I was able to prepare in advance.

However, in the final investigation, there was no substantial evidence to show who actually did this.

The U.S. stock market has fallen, and it is difficult for stock markets in other countries to improve. The sluggish stock market will inevitably affect the confidence of investors and consumers in various countries.

In the week when 1211 occurred, the Tokyo stock market fell by 4.8%, London fell by 6.2%, Paris fell by 11.4%, and Frankfurt fell by 12.3%. The stock prices of the most affected airlines fell even more, including the stock prices of British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France. The decline is more than 30%.

Sun Zhengyi fell so hard that his body hurt.

…

Countless people wailed: [We have finally emerged from the shadow of the Internet economy bubble, and we have not yet recovered, and we have suffered such a heavy blow.

This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! ]

The number of countries affected and the wide range of scope are both unexpected and reasonable.

Many financial people in Japan are in a miserable situation.

…

Qing Zhiyuan just smiled slightly, saying that it doesn’t matter if it falls.

I didn’t take the opportunity to make money from the national crisis, which is considered to be the most righteous.

As a time traveler, Qing Zhiyuan still has some small bottom lines.

Not much, that is, no national crisis, no ill-gotten gains that violate morality and law, no wealth that leaves people with no way out...

Of course, there is another aspect that is not sure whether this wave of twin towers incidents will happen.

On the morning of September 11 this year, Qing Zhiyuan paid attention to this matter.

In the end, nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, they just delayed the plan, and it was affected by the butterfly effect, and it became December 11.

…

However, after this wave of events, Qing Zhiyuan is still the beneficiary.

Why?

Because he has the best, largest and fastest Internet information platform in the world.

As soon as the news from the United States came out, there was a corresponding news release on the Internet, and then it quickly spread all over the world through the global portal website under P-NET.

If there was no Internet, everyone would not be able to eat such detailed gossip in the first time.

…

So many people on the Internet joked:

[Pokeni won again this time. ]

[Win, okay? ]
