Chapter 304: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
America, Eastern Time, Monday, October 1987, 10. The leeks started their happy life from nine to five as usual. This autumn, the weather in New York was a bit gloomy, but the traders on the exchange, as usual, Come to work talking and laughing.
John looked at the somewhat decadent Pete and said with a smile: "Hey, Pete, did that girl last night keep you awake?"
Peter looked at John, the fat man, and didn't want to pay attention to him. His head hurt a little. He drank too much last night. Traders like them were under a lot of pressure every day. In order to release the pressure, they could only rely on alcohol and women to numb themselves. , he is 37 this year, still single, with an annual salary of US$50. Old guys, who can understand the joy of being single?
John saw that Peter didn't want to pay attention to him. He was chattering next to him, which made Pete very annoyed. Just when John was talking happily, he saw something wrong with Pete. He saw his eyes at a 45-degree angle, looking at Behind him, his eyes became bigger and bigger, his pupils shrank, his mouth opened wider and wider, and then he looked frightened, as if there was some monster behind him. Then John also looked at other people, who were like Peter, like in the middle Just like the immobilization technique, the panic on some people's faces turned into despair.
John, who has more than ten years of experience in the industry, has a very strong psychological quality. What kind of storm has he never seen?But in this year's situation, he didn't know what happened. Then he turned around stiffly, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and saw something he would never forget.
The dazzling red numbers on all the electronic displays made John petrified. It was so scary, and all the stocks were like an avalanche.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average began to fall sharply shortly after the market opened. Traders on the exchange also came to their senses and began to take action. They immediately began to sell the stocks in their hands. If they couldn't sell after falling five points, they would drop another point. .
John also started yelling, words starting with F kept coming out of his mouth, and Pete on the other side also rushed to his trading position and began to issue selling orders as well.
At the end of the morning's trading, the stock market showed no sign of rebound. On the contrary, there was no sign of green, and it was still red. John was already desperate.
Although the market attempted to rebound that day, it ended with a sharp decline.On this day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 508 points, a drop of 22%, setting a historical record for the number of points and the extent of the decline in a single day.
John came out of the exchange. He was still a little confused and walked forward numbly. He heard a dull 'bang' not far away, which made him wake up from his confusion. Then he saw a group of panicked people moving towards the sound. He ran over to where it came from, and he also walked over.
It was Pete. At this time, he was looking at the sky with his eyes wide open. His body was sunk into the roof of the car. It was because he had dented the roof of the car after falling from a high altitude.Blood was coming out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth. It looked like he couldn't live anymore, and his death was so miserable that John's heart became cold.
He once advised Peter not to trade with leverage, but this time there was a sudden avalanche, and those who were doing leverage were all trapped and killed. Just when the people here were still sighing, there was another dull 'bang' sound, and there was another sound next to them. Someone smashed into the car, causing the onlookers to disperse immediately.
The sound of 'bang', 'bang', 'bang' one after another made the people on the street disperse in fear. The police arrived belatedly and set up a cordon, but the news workers who arrived earlier than them were Or, if we let them work as police officers, it should be faster, right?
'ah! 'A scream came out, making the policemen nervous. They all pulled out their pistols and ran towards the source of the scream. They saw two people stacked on top of each other. The one below should be a woman, but it looked like she was already there. He couldn't live. The one above stood up and was choking. Just as he was about to say something, a new policeman's hand shook. Then, gunshots rang out continuously, like a firecracker. A set of artists came together, and that Those who wanted to stand up were immediately beaten into a sieve.
今年道琼斯工业平均指数在1987年8月就曾创下了2200点的高位，而市场市盈率也远高于历史平均水平。此外，美国联邦储备委员会在1987年5月和7月曾两次提高利率，以控制通货膨胀。
When Smith and Peter saw the stock market that day, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. The stocks they held at that time were the ones that had fallen the worst. They immediately contacted Li Bu who was sleeping in Xiangjiang.
Alice answered the call and heard that it was from North America. Li Bu was staying at her place today, and the office transferred the call to her.
"Boss, it's bad. The North American stock market collapsed. Many people jumped. It's so scary." Peter opposite, a little girl who seemed to have been turned around, was very confused when she spoke there.
Li Bu hadn't woken up yet. He woke up after hearing the other party's words. He said, "Calm down, Peter, what have we lost? Nothing. Calm down, okay?"
Peter on the other side calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, Abu, you're absolutely right, we have nothing to lose, haha... I'm scared, so what should we do next?"
"I'm still resting. You should also go relax and have a glass of wine to calm down your shock. Or you and Smith can find some girls to let go. Then contact me after the market opens tomorrow." After Li Bu finished speaking, he went to Get off the phone.
"Brother Bu, what happened?"
"It's nothing, there are two people who have never seen the world, making a fuss." Li Bu yawned and continued: "I'm sleeping anyway, let's do some exercise." He said with a smirk and rushed over.
The situation in North America quickly spread throughout the world, but there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that North America was far away from them and would not affect them.
At this time when globalization is becoming more and more popular, the connections between countries are getting closer and closer, and the influence of one thing affects the whole body, but they are still limited to their original thinking.
If Li Bu knew, he would definitely smile and say: "You are still too young, haha..."
The media in North America are overwhelmingly reporting on the news of the stock market crash today, which has caused panic across North America. Some people suggested that the government come to rescue the market, some called on everyone not to sell their stocks, and some on TV accused the Federal Reserve of raising interest rates. It seems that all problems and contradictions It suddenly broke out.
"When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent."
These people blame each other and blame each other, which is of no use at all. They can only wait for a miracle to happen the next day.
