The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter Seventy-Seven

This agent who dared to speak out was about 25 or 26 years old. He was of medium height, thin, and had good features. His face turned red due to excitement, and his dark blue suit hung tremblingly on his body. Cheng Shigui looked at the other agents.

Everyone else secretly looked at the two of them, waiting for the president's decision. Unexpectedly, he smiled slowly, "Yuan Lang, right! Very good! You are the first one so far who dares to stand up and question

Employees of the company. I appreciate that you can muster up the courage at this time and think about the company. From now on, your salary will increase by 20%."

Cheng Shigui smiled softly, dazzling both men and women in the office. It turned out that the president's smile was so alluring.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Yuan Lang said calmly. He didn't expect that a "straight confession" would have such unexpected results.

"But now, as employees, please follow the orders and return to your jobs. Immediately! Short the Hang Seng Index." Cheng Shigui said.

"Yes." The other agents also returned to their respective positions, and the sound of "crackling" keyboards came one after another.[

When the Hong Kong stock market closed during the day, it fell slightly. Because short selling was done at the real-time price during the day, the Hang Seng Index contract could not see much profit or loss for the time being. Although these people also executed Mr. Cheng’s order to float positions overnight, they were still looking forward to it.

The CEO's eyes were obviously worried, and he didn't know what the situation was like in the New York stock market when it opened in the evening.

Fang Monan was eating takeout leisurely. The time displayed on the computer was 20 p.m. on October 16, which was exactly 10 a.m. New York Eastern Time. The Wall Street stock market had opened. Everyone in the office did not leave and continued to work hard.

First line.

As large sums of funds began to arrive at the end of September and early October, Cheng Shigui announced that all transactions would be stopped and awaited instructions. European Diao Rong, Japanese Yang Fan, and American Allen also received the same instructions. Everyone was speculating that something was going to happen.

It's a big deal.

"Alan, my name is Fang Monan. From now on, I will sell the ym (Dow Jones Industrial Average Index) contract. All accounts will start selling at the same time, and all transactions will be done at real-time prices!" Fang Monan picked up the phone and slowly issued the order, and also gave

My aunt gave the same order.

After hearing this, Cheng Shigui walked out. After giving the order, the office became busy again.

The wait was long. As the index slowly climbed up bit by bit, the agents stared at the screen in horror, with their mouths wide open. Several people couldn't help but take out tissues and start wiping the sweat from their foreheads and faces.

.They raised their heads and glanced at the closed door of the president's office, then continued working.

After coaxing the two babies to sleep, Fang Monan came behind Cheng Shigui and asked, "How is the market going?"

"It's still rising!" Cheng Shigui said, "The losses are not small now. Allen is under greater pressure than me now, so he must be more anxious. Haha..."

"It's okay, don't worry!" Fang Monan said calmly. "Go ask someone to buy some late-night snacks to relieve the tension."

The operation room outside was filled with suffocating tension, as if time had frozen. Although Cheng Shigui was worried, seeing Fang Monan's calm and okay appearance also relieved his own tension.

"Okay!" Cheng Shigui asked someone to buy back the late-night snack. He sat in front of the computer before taking a bite, and the index began to fall. "It's fallen." Cheng Shigui opened the table and hugged Fang Monan. After putting it down, he rushed out again.

The New York stock market, thousands of miles away, fell sharply as the brokers outside shouted "it's down!". In less than an hour, it fell below the price they originally sold at, and continued to fall.

Fang Monan listened to the applause outside. By the time the market closed, it fell more than 100 points in one day on October 16.

It seems that history will not change, it is really powerful. Fang Monan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On October 19, 1987, the famous Black Monday, the global stock market panicked and plummeted, leading to the world financial crisis. This is known to everyone in the future who has a little knowledge of the stock market.

The reason is that on October 16, the New York stock market took the lead in falling. After the two-day holiday, on October 19, 1987, the famous Black Monday, while Uncle Sam was still sleeping, Cheng Shigui and

A group of brokers were guarding the operation room nervously, staring at the monitor without blinking. On this day in the Asian market, before the opening gong of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was heard, the stock price plummeted. The Nikkei 225 Index

It fell by 620 points, or 149%; Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index subsequently fell by 421 points, or 113%, which also set a record for the highest drop in one day; the British ftse100 index fell by 2,496 points, falling to 20,533 points, and investors lost 50 billion pounds

.As a result, global stock markets suffered heavy losses one after another.

During the day, Cheng Shigui, Diao Rong, Yang Fan, and Allen were all directing this money-grabbing war in these four places, and the whole world was in mourning.

Due to Cheng Shigui's large amount of short selling, the Hang Seng Index fell further than before after the market closed. Cheng Shigui clapped his hands and said, "Are you all tired? Take a rest and fight again in the evening! This month, everyone will get double salary, plus bonus!"

There were loud cheers in the operation room of Longteng Company. More than a dozen brokers and handymen, regardless of gender, old or young, hugged each other and danced disco! The atmosphere was filled with joy. On the contrary, the scene outside was bleak and gloomy. Except for the Cheng family,

Besides, the reason is simple.

That night, everyone's eyes were fixed on New York, where their last hope was pinned. Financial investors and speculators all over the world looked eagerly at Uncle Sam to support the crisis, show his might, and turn the tide![

However, Americans have never liked to do things like saving people from fire and water, and they are not so upright and upright. They often do it by adding insult to injury, and they never tire of it. This superpower, which was just established two hundred years ago, is full of energy because it is young.

, similarly, because he is young, he lacks stability and is more impetuous.

The New York stock market failed to be a life-saving straw for the drowning people. On the contrary, it staged a "final madness." The long-lasting bull market in the New York stock exchange market fell alarmingly on Monday, October 19, 1987. The stock market opened and the screen flashed.

, thousands of people were moving. Suddenly, strong winds rose from the ground, and the stock prices fell rapidly. The air above Wall Street was stagnant, and the shouts on the streets were loud. The horror that had not been seen for half a century reappeared, and panicked investors rushed to sell. Only 3

Hours later, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 50,832 points, a drop of 2,262%. The total value of stocks that fell in one day was staggering-twice the total value of the stocks that fell during the 1929 Wall Street Crash. In the chaos, the value exceeded 6

Stocks worth billions of dollars were sold off. The stock market crash caused huge panic among investors in Western countries. Many millionaires became poor overnight, and thousands of people suffered mental breakdowns and committed suicide by jumping off buildings.

Compared with the excitement of the brokers in the operation room, Fang Monan and Cheng Shigui were drinking tea calmly in the president's lounge.

Cheng Shigui said: "After this day's busy work, we have made a total of 50 billion US dollars from all over the world. In addition to the original more than 30 billion US dollars, the current funds exceed 80 billion US dollars." He looked at Fang Monan.

With furrowed brows, he said, "Haha... having too much money is also a worry."

"Yes! Worry! What we lack most now is not money but influence, because wealth without the protection of political power is just a piece of fat and cannot last long." Fang Monan's original mind was simple, relying on his wealth in his previous life.

Earn some money, after all, the old man said, 'If you have money at home, don't panic.' It seems that the fun is getting better. After thinking for a long time, Fang Monan said: "Currently, we are intensifying our efforts to penetrate into the industry and master some countries."

Only important industries can have a certain say in this country."

Cheng Shigui nodded and said: "The established direction remains unchanged, we will step up implementation."

On the morning of October 20th, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange made a historic announcement that it would suspend trading for four days from October 20th to 23rd in order to clear up a large number of unfinished settlements. So Cheng Shigui adjusted the work and rest time of Longteng Company and rested during the day.

, go to work at night. Continue to keep an eye on US stocks.

On October 20th, Eastern Time, the New York stock market continued to plummet and was in an extremely crazy state.

At ten o'clock in the night, Fang Monan picked up the phone and said, "Allen, close the position!" He said calmly and firmly.

"Boss, isn't it still falling?" Allen shouted loudly on the phone.

Cheng Shigui also looked at her doubtfully. "You can't underestimate Uncle Sam's economic strength and just close your position when it's good!" "Do you think that the world has been flooded with disasters these days and countries will not take action to close their positions?" Fang Mo

Nan said to Allen on the phone.

"Hey!" Allen agreed, put down the phone, and hurried to the operation room next door to give instructions.

"We here, Japan, London, and other places will stay put and close our positions by the end of the month." Fang Monan said to Cheng Shigui.

Just in the past few days, Fang Monan and his company's assets have grown to 100 billion US dollars, which is almost as much as the per capita GDP of the previous country. And this does not include the future growth of the companies that Fang Monan wants to acquire this month.

value added.

Of course, all of this has been handed over to Cheng Shigui, Diao Rong, Yang Fan, and Allen. Her current task is to take good care of the children and stay at home to study hard.

"It's true Nannan, the New York stock market is in reverse." Cheng Shigui said, staring at the computer screen.

It was already Wednesday night. After the New York stock market experienced two days of plunge, the government, financial giants, and giant funds all stepped in to rescue the market, and the U.S. stock market experienced a strong rebound.

"It's common sense that things must reverse themselves when they reach their extremes!" Fang Monan smiled and answered with a cloud of confusion.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Cheng Shigui said.

"Mr. Cheng, we would like to invite you to the bar to celebrate." Yuan Lang said shyly, daring to raise doubts when the president issued an order. He has now become the spokesperson of all agents.

"Okay! It's time to celebrate. Starting from tomorrow, everyone will have five days off and will officially go to work on the 26th... Well, this month's salary will be paid in advance to tomorrow. The double salary and bonus will still be paid at the same time. You go

Inform everyone." Cheng Shigui said loudly, followed by warm cheers in the operation room.[

Yuan Lang smiled and stepped back. Cheng Shigui turned around and entered the lounge. He stood at the door, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going or not?"

Fang Monan shook his head, "I wish you have a good time."

"Okay, do you need me to bring you something to eat?" Cheng Shigui asked.

"Need not."

"Then I won't come tonight. I'll go back and take a shower and change clothes." Cheng Shigui said as he walked out. After being closed in the office for a few days, he wanted to go home and have a good rest to relax his tense heart.

.

In the blink of an eye, the entire floor turned off the lights and walked out. (To be continued)
