"It's like hell!"

When later generations evaluated the day of Black Monday, many people used similar statements like this. ↖Top ↖ point ↖ small ↖ say,

On this day, countless people jumped from tall buildings on Wall Street.

Right in front of Elon Hansen's eyes, a scene like this was played out. John, who had previously shown off his new Ferrari sports car to him, was the Ivy League top student who refused GE's $80,000 offer. After-tax salary, the one who dreams of becoming a trader and earning an annual salary of one million US dollars.

He jumped straight from a balcony not far from Elon Hansen.

This is not the first thing Elon Hansen has seen. In a company with a long history, such as the trading company he worked for that survived the great stock market crash of 1929, Declared bankrupt on this day.

Those who were still making jokes about the Commercial Credit Company and Sandy Weill's recovery of funds were immediately speechless after the New York Stock Exchange officially opened. They really didn't expect that it was just the opening of the Dow Jones. The index fell like a hemorrhage.

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop it.

If it's just the company's money, that's it, but many people have opened their own rat warehouses. Today's sudden scene makes these people feel despair.

What luck.

Many years later, Elon Hansen, who became famous in the financial industry again, would sigh like this whenever he recalled this past event, because he said more than once that if his position with that John were changed, , I'm afraid his end won't be much better than that John's.

Commercial Credit Company.

Jamie Dimon pushed open the door of Sandy Weir's office like crazy, but he didn't knock. There was a look of disbelief on his face.

Sandy Weir did not raise his head to look at him. He just stared straight at the 21-inch TV in his room.

On TV, reports are being made about the Dow Jones Index's plunge.

It wasn't until ten minutes after the program report ended that Jamie Dimon asked in a dry voice: "Old...teacher, how do you know so clearly?"

Sandy Weir did not answer directly, he just shook his head.

"Not my prediction."

Then he stopped talking.

Jester just came to the company today and noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. He saw the faces of many people in the company. They all became extremely serious. He was a little confused and asked his subordinates.

Then, a TV is turned on. There is no channel selection, and there is no need to select a channel, because the content broadcast by any TV station now is the same.

The Dow Jones plummeted.

"It's finally here."

Jester just watched a program on TV and immediately knew the reason for all this. It might be that many people in the company bought financial products or stocks. After all, during the previous period, the Dow Jones Index skyrocketed, and anyone would think that making money in the story was like picking up money from the ground.

With this kind of thinking, how could you not join in?

For example. He had been in the company before and mentioned more than once that many people gathered together to discuss stocks during breaks or even while working. Jester saw all this. But he didn't try to dissuade him in the slightest, because it was pointless.

"In the next period of time, our market share may decline to a certain extent. But it should not be significant."

Jester was doing analysis based on the situation after the Dow Jones crash. Before he knew it, he came to his office. He hadn't sat down in his seat for more than ten minutes. He just wanted to go directly to the development center to take a look. Looking at the development status of his two games, the phone on his desk rang.

The call was from New York.

Sandy Weir didn't say much on the phone, but he still made the most sincere apology to Jester. No one knew better than himself how he should thank Jester, if it weren't for Jester If he was dissuaded before, although he also had the idea of ​​shrinking funds at the time, he would never be as decisive as before. Now he can just wait and buy the bottom.

Jester smiled and said it was just his inspiration, the same inspiration he had during the Plaza Accord.

In the financial industry, sometimes inspiration is indeed much more important than experience. Sandy Weir firmly believes in Jester's statement.

The two parties only had a brief chat, and Sandy Weill said that he still had something to do. Now, Sandy Weir's previous behavior of tightening funds was once again brought out, calling Sandy Weill in more than a month. I have seen today's situation before, and when Sandy Weir was interviewed at that time, he also talked about his hunch. He had a hunch that Dow Jones was in a crisis that had never happened in a century.

At that time, the entire Wall Street responded to him with the most mocking sarcasm.

Even many of Sandy Weir's former colleagues are still standing up to humiliate Sandy Weir at this time, but now we look back and see who holds the truth in the past month or so. In his hands, it is now clear.

The most depressing person is Hirai Kazuo.

He was just about to work hard on publicity, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Years of experience at Sony tell Kazuo Hirai that the success of a product depends on the quality of the product itself, at best, for only 40%, and the other 60% depends on publicity, desperate publicity.

But he didn't expect that when he was about to launch Sony's tried and tested publicity campaign, he would encounter this kind of thing.

"Time is also fate."

Hirai Kazuo could only comfort himself in this way.

The big plunge of the Dow Jones Index is not just a matter of the United States. The United States has linked the U.S. dollar to the entire world economy through oil more than ten years ago. Therefore, the U.S. economy and the entire world economy are actually related. When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

The American story collapsed. Then other countries will not fare well if they become obsolete.

Hirai Kazuo received a call from Kutaragi Ken in the afternoon. On the phone, Kutaragi Ken's voice sounded a little tired.

Kutaragi also briefly talked about the high-level meeting that just ended. President Norio Ohga asked him to shrink funds as much as possible during the recent period and not to make any big moves. Therefore, he has nothing to do during this period. , even if it is the development work of the new console. He was already on the right track, so he wanted to come to the United States during this period.

Meet with Jester to discuss Jester's matters regarding the World Electronic Game Association and a large-scale global game exhibition.

The same thing happened with Hisao Oguchi.

Of course, Jester had no problem. He had been preparing for this matter half a year ago, and now he was finally able to put it into practice. He has to find time no matter what, even though he has many things on his plate now, especially leading two development teams to develop games at the same time.

The time agreed upon by the three parties is today, about a week from now. The specific meeting time will be decided after all three of them arrive in Japan.

There are also people who are secretly happy about the collapse of the Dow Jones Index, such as Jester's partner in South Korea.

on the second day. Jester received a call from Li Jianxi. Even though the voice was distorted through international long distance, Jester could hear the unconcealable excitement in Li Jianxi's tone.

"Mr. Li. Do you think now is a good time for me to enter the market and buy at the bottom?"

Hearing Li Jianxi ask himself this question, Jester pondered. To be honest, he was actually not interested in bargain hunting. He already held enough shares, and he was not in the mood to take care of any more. In fact, , relying on his shareholding ratio in the commercial credit company, after the merger of the century operated by Sandy Weill is successful, he will get at least one percent of Citibank's shares. This is a very remarkable thing. The proportion is enough to make him one of the largest individual shareholders of Citibank.

And there are also the shares of Samsung Group that he owns. In more than ten years, this will also be an incredible amount of wealth.

Therefore, although there are many stocks that can be bought at the bottom now, and he will earn a lot in the future, he would rather invest in some profits than the stock market, for example, investing in the country on the other side of the Pacific, especially at a certain time this year. After the incident.

This is a good opportunity to build your reputation.

As for what bad effects he will have in the United States after doing this, this is not something that Jester has to consider. As a big capitalist of his level, he does not need to take public opinion into consideration at all. He spends five dollars every year. The team of big lawyers raised with more than tens of millions of dollars was raised to fight against the government.

Not to mention there are more than a dozen members of Congress sponsored by him.

There is no need to tell Li Jianxi these things. Jester knows that he is closely connected with the top leaders of the country across the Pacific. This is a relationship created by his fathers, but since the other party asked him if now is the right time to buy bargains, Jester just expressed his own opinion.

"I think now is not the time. The Dow Jones plunge has just begun, with a drop of more than 100 points. My hunch is that this time the Dow Jones will trigger a plunge in the global stock market, and then the plunge in the global stock market will in turn affect the Dow Jones." It will have an impact on the index. On a larger scale, it is very likely that the Dow Jones Index will fall by 20% this time, which is about 500 points.”

Jester's words sounded very relaxed, but in Li Jianxi's ears it was not the case at all.

Because 500 points on the Dow Jones Index is worth at least a trillion dollars!
