Chapter 10 Black Monday(1/2)
The time difference between Japan and the United States is as long as 14 hours.
Europe, which has been affected by U.S. stock prices, is already in a dark cloud. The ratings of financial news channels and financial newspapers in Japan are close to their peaks in the past year.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, a large group of people stood in front of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
A 24-hour 711 supermarket at the door was crowded with brokers from all kinds of suits and ties.
At this time, the TV in front of the 711 was playing the [Wall Street News] TV program.
The character on the TV is none other than David Rudd, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There was no smile at all on David Rudd's face, and the people sitting in the dark crowd below were basically members of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"While we don't know when this critical moment will be, I will discuss with the stock exchange a temporary closure of the exchange."
As soon as David Rudd spoke, a group of people working in the brokerage industry who had been able to remain calm suddenly went into a rage.
The insults of "Baga" could be heard constantly at the scene.
Some extreme people even rushed into the 711 supermarket, picked up a few tools, and rushed towards the gate of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
If there weren't enough security guards at the door, I believe the exchange would have been robbed at this time.
But at this time, Tao Xi was sitting in the car, eating breakfast in his hand with a dull look on his face.
"Basically all blue chip stocks in the United States have lost about 30%. All we need to do now is just wait for the Tokyo Stock Exchange to open."
Instead, Marco looked at the newspaper in his hand in confusion: "Now that people all over the world are losing money, can you be sure that you are making money?"
"Oh, one thing goes another way. Some people lose money and others make money. Who would shout in a hoarse voice at this time that I have made money?"
Marco nodded in approval when he heard Tao Xi's words.
.......
At this time, Kedri Ferre was squatting in the private bathroom of the New York Stock Exchange and constantly punching the mirror of the makeup mirror with his fists.
"fxxk!"
"Half of my 2.8 million assets have evaporated!"
Every time Cadre Ferre said a word, he punched the glass mirror with his fist.
The security guard standing at the door kept patting the bathroom door where Kedri Ferre was.
"Don't look at him! He won't be dead for a while! There is a man on the roof who is about to jump off the building again."
But before the security guard finished speaking, another figure jumped from the building opposite the New York Stock Exchange.
"Oh! God! What happened today? This is already the seventh person!"
"Today's Monday is black. If you, the gentleman in the bathroom, are still sensible, I advise you not to do anything stupid."
With his hands stained with blood, Kedri Ferre looked helplessly holding his head and staring blankly at the ceiling lit by incandescent lights.
"Jingle bell"
"Jingle bell"
Kedrey Feyre heard the sound of the phone in his arms and didn't want to pay attention to him, but the phone still urged him stubbornly.
"Mother?"
Kedry Ferre didn't really want to answer the phone call. Whether it's a Westerner or an Easterner, most families report good news but not bad news.
Kedre Ferre lost his father when he was 3 years old.
The reason why he can grow up healthily is all because of his mother raising him!
Kedry Feyre looked at the ringing cell phone in his hand and sighed helplessly.
In order to prevent his mother on the other end of the phone from noticing anything unusual, Kedri Ferre mustered up the courage to walk out of the bathroom.
When everything is wiped clean, there is no nasal sound when speaking.
Kedry Ferre found a deserted corner and answered the phone.
"Hey! Mom!"
"Oh! Kedri, I'm glad you're okay. I saw many people on TV saying that the U.S. stock market is in chaos and there are dead people everywhere!"
"How are you?"
Kedry Feyre looked up and glanced at the ground not far away, where there was still a bright red blood stain. He replied with a smile on his face: "Oh! Mom! Don't forget, I am the janitor in the welfare home where you are delivering the goods."
Ivy League top student! I'm not going to get hit!"
When Kedri Ferre's mother heard Kedri's reply with laughter, she said with relief: "That's good, that's good. There are guests at home today, so I won't tell you any more! Come back early.
Family, I’ll make you your favorite beef burger this weekend!”
"OK!"
Cadre Ferre had just hung up the phone, and his phone was vibrating like a virus.
No need to ask, these must be his investors and fund holders!
But Kedry Ferre is very confused now. The New York Stock Exchange has closed. It is useless to think too much now. The only thing he can do is to wait!
Yes, when disaster strikes, all ordinary people can do is wait, even if you were successful before.
Kedri Ferre just turned off his cell phone.
A black figure once again leapt down from a 17-story building not far away. Cadre Feyre looked at the flesh-splattered ground not far away and then looked down at his blood-stained hands with a disdainful expression.
Grinning.
.......
Hill feels that the world is really too small!
Because he actually saw his brother's former savior during a picnic in San Bernardino County.
Although a long time has passed.
But Hill still vividly remembers the photos his brother would take out every time he celebrated his birthday!
In the photo, the stooped old woman is holding a broom in her hand, revealing her big yellow teeth.
Behind the old woman is a gray orphanage and a withered oak tree.
"Hill! We should go back."
Hill turned to his classmate Sarah and waved cautiously, then looked at the old lady who was sitting under the statue of Jesus praying.
The old lady looked uneasy, and she had been praying for her son while making the sign of the cross.
Occasionally she would nod and talk non-stop.
"Hill, you are so rude!"
Hill actually didn't want to go out to do social practice with the nagging female classmate behind him.
If Sarah hadn't promised him that she would help Hill complete the picnic photo shoot, maybe Hill would have been a different person.
"I know her!"
"How could you possibly know her! Before you came here, you told me that you had never been to San Bernardino County."
Sarah looks very good-looking in a high ponytail. Her height of 1.75 meters and her oval face make her look very tall.
It was just the sense of justice on her face that made Hill a little annoyed.
The quarrel between the two people soon disturbed the old woman who had been praying.
"You are..."
Just as Sarah was about to speak, Hill covered Sarah's mouth: "Are you Mrs. Zarella?"
The old woman saw that Hill actually called out a title she had used before.
She was stunned for a moment, but soon Mrs. Zarella asked doubtfully: "Are you from the orphanage..."
When Hill saw that the other party didn't deny it, he successfully said the name of the orphanage.
Hill instantly let go of Sarah, who was blushing: "Are you really Mrs. Zarella? Hahaha, that's really great. On his birthday last year, my brother said he hadn't found you to be his.
What a pity!”
"Your brother?"
"Ah! Yes, my brother's name is Tao Xi, the only Asian in the orphanage! He said that without your help, he might have died there!"
As soon as Mrs. Zarella heard the name "Taosi".
Her expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and Hill and Mrs. Zarella started chatting like friends they had not seen for many years.
...
Kedry Ferre was lying in the Hilton Hotel, looking through the documents in his hand with a calm expression.
As risk assessment is everything he should do.
If the U.S. government fails to come up with corresponding rescue policies in the past week, then this private equity institution that is involved in the New York Stock Exchange will definitely declare bankruptcy.
To be continued...
