Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 397 Foodie Feast

   At 10 o'clock, the Hong Kong stock market opened first.

   After a while, the loud voices in the trading floor suddenly stopped for a moment, and then panicked and noisy.

  Someone also wiped their eyes and looked at the dazzling numbers on the screen: "What's going on? Did something go wrong? I remember it wasn't this price when the market closed!"

   "Hey! Are you still calling back? Sigh!"

   15 minutes later, the Xiangdao stock index has fallen by 120 points, plummeting by about 3%.

   The colors of the sky seem to have become suppressed.

   And in the next hour, it fell by more than 100 points again.

  In the beginning, the depressing atmosphere existed only in the trading floor, and around people who were watching the stock market in various places. And they don't have any energy and emotions to meet other people. They can't take their eyes off the dwindling numbers, or they're busy selling quickly.

   Then, the lunch break came, and the atmosphere of the stock market finally passed. The teahouses and restaurants in Central are still overcrowded, but everyone's faces are not relaxed, but dignified as if they are facing an enemy.

  On TV and on the radio, the news of the stock market crash in the morning spread like wildfire, and the title made people feel scary.

After    went out, the noon sun was still shining, but some people felt that their eyes were dark. Even more outrageous, some people saw police cars and ambulances not far away.

"What happened?"

   "Just jumped down one..."

  The passing of life makes the midday sun feel gloomy and cold, and seems to herald a more ominous afternoon.

   Sure enough, after the market opened at 2:30 p.m., the stock index plummeted to 185 points again within an hour, which was even more ferocious than in the morning.

   When the market was closed, today's Xiangdao stock index fell by more than 400 points, or more than 11%.

  Li Ju, who had just landed, was a little dazed at the depressing atmosphere in the airport, and then saw the scary headline on the TV news.

  【Unprecedented Massacre: Stock Futures Void Over 400 Points Together】

   And the smaller scrolling text reads: [The Central Murder Case Reappears! Another citizen commits suicide in despair...]

   His pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly found a phone to call the company.

  Li's company, but an important constituent of the Xiangdao stock market, how much has it fallen?

   Tokyo at the same time, it is already more than five o'clock at the moment.

   Ichiro Kawasaki asked in a puzzled way: "Why don't you buy it today, so you can earn enough money, what if Kashima bounces back tomorrow?"

Tao Zhiming's eyes were also a bit sour, but he said decisively: "I don't care about Xiangdao, we will see it tomorrow. Neon has not been affected by the news there today, take a rest, the market in the United States is about to open! "

  Anyway, whether tomorrow's Xiangdao is the same as in memory, the market will be closed for four days without precedent in history, but the panic on the Xiangdao side has already been created, and the market will continue to decline when it reopens.

   On the Neon side, because it is in the bubble economy, there are many new leeks, but they will enter the bargain hunt one after another, and only after the sharp drop in the US stock market at night, there will be the most violent decline tomorrow.

   The point is to look at the United States.

   After a simple dinner, Rana Onodera also nervously looked at the numbers on the machine screen.

   Now, she can understand a little bit.

   She also knew that Onodera's wealth and Tao Zhiming's own funds were all invested in this big strategy.

   "Don't be nervous, the current drop in the Xiangdao stock market is enough for us to make a lot of money." Tao Zhiming quietly looked forward to the moment when the rice stock market opened.

   "Master President, why is this decline...so scary?"

  Tao Zhiming smiled lightly, because this was the first time that he had encountered a major stock market crash since the computer trading system was used for stock trading.

  A sudden drop will trigger a large series of automatic sell orders, and a sudden sell-off panic will be formed. Coupled with the model of portfolio insurance, it is naturally more inclined to avoid suspicion. Once the stock index option, which is an important indicator, fluctuates violently, the computer trading program will trigger an avalanche response.

   is more characteristic of the times: at this time, there is no circuit breaker mechanism.

   So 11% of Xiangdao today is nothing.

   The Dow Jones Index in the United States has to fall by more than 22%!

   And when the market of Xiangdao opens after the market is closed, it will drop by more than 1,100 points on the same day, with a drop of 33% on the day.

  This is a unique, short-term gluttonous feast!

   His mobile phone rang suddenly, and on the other end was Hector's trembling voice: "Tao, what are you doing? Have you seen the situation in the Xiangdao stock market?"

   "It's very early to get up." Tao Zhiming asked with a smile, "It's night here now, and I've been watching the situation of Xiangdao and Neon for a day."

   "...will it affect rice stocks?" Hector's voice trembled a little, "I have a little money, didn't the Dow Jones drop by 4.6% last Friday? I bought the bottom..."

   "A bargain hunter?" Tao Zhiming coughed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back."

"Don't laugh! It's been down so much in 3 days, how could there be no countermeasures on the weekend? I think so... But it seems a little wrong. You said that you should use your own funds as the contribution of our fund first, what do you think? of?"

   "I don't know the situation yet." Tao Zhiming didn't give a clear answer, "I definitely won't bet on one side. After the market opens, I'll see the situation before I know whether I made a profit or a loss."

   "Have you seen any new good news?" Hector felt a little bit like he was at the rescue. "That Bloomberg machine, is there any new good news?"

  Tao Zhiming thought for a while, and then said: "Hector, I have a suggestion for your part of the money you are playing. If you want to listen, then listen."

   "You said it!" This is what Hector wanted, because he was already panicked when he saw Xiangdao plummet by 11% as the market opened soon.

  Tao Zhiming wanted to pack a "stock god" image for Hector, and now is indeed a good opportunity.

   So he said: "After the market opens, don't hesitate, just take at least a 5% drop, and sell it first if you can. When the market is about to close, buy the bottom. When the market closes the day after tomorrow, sell it."

   "A drop of at least 5%?" Hector's scalp tingled, and then he quickly asked, "You mean, it will only drop for one day?"

   "I just think that the situation in the stock market today requires the Federal Reserve to act. Of course, it's just a suggestion, you can consider it yourself. Time is running out, and the market will open soon."

Tao Zhiming simply hung up the phone. After thinking about it, he called Lu Yan again, and said unexpectedly, "Mrs. Li, what happened to the stock market in Xiangdao today? I didn't expect to worry about it just last night. It will fall, and the result has really fallen like this..."

"...No one can sleep now. If the stock market in the United States also plummeted today, it would be really troublesome..." Lu Yan was worried for a while, "Today, New Era Real Estate has fallen by more than 72%, and Sun Hung Kai of the Li family and Guo family, It's down nearly 64%, and the wireless station doesn't seem so miserable..."

   "I have to take some measures tomorrow, right?" Tao Zhiming's tone was also worried, "Now I can save the market. I also invested a lot of money in the Xiangdao stock market..."

   "How big is Mr. Tao's loss today?" Lu Yan asked tentatively.

"Hey, it's not about the side of Xiangdao anymore. Neon's impact today is limited, and the main thing here is to look at the United States. If the stock market in the United States also plummets, and when Neon opens again tomorrow, it will be really troublesome... Mrs. Lee, on the island of Xiangdao, we must see the trend of the United States before deciding what to do? If there is news, no matter how late, I hope you can give me a call. I can't sleep for the past two days! "

  What Tao Zhiming and Lu Yan said, Kawasaki Ichiro and the others did not understand, but the president's tone was clearly like a painful loss. They looked at each other and gave him a strange look.

   How can you act so similar? Today obviously made a profit...

   The neon night is getting darker, and it is an hour later than Xiangdao here, but those who have invested in the stock market tonight are destined to have no sleep.

   Onodera Fortune's phone has been blown up, and Onodera Rana had to go to the customer service department and relay the words of reply to them according to the previous plan.

   "I understand your concern very much. Due to the special circumstances, all members of the club are working overtime today, so please rest assured, we will always be there..."

   "Please believe in the ability of Onodera Wealth, and I can answer you with certainty that the Housewife Wealth Management Fund did not suffer losses in this incident..."

   "Don't worry, Director Ishibashi Reiko has already called to ask, and after the stock market is closed tomorrow, Onodera Fortune will hold a special press conference. I can reply you clearly, the Housewife Wealth Management Fund has not suffered any losses..."

  “…”

   It was 10:30 at night in Tokyo, and the stock market opened in New York.

   has just opened, and the Dow Jones index displayed is actually 67 points lower than when it closed last Friday. The red numbers almost covered the entire screen, and there were very few green numbers in the page-by-page change.

   This was the opposite of the color in Tao Zhiming's memory, but he looked very happy.

  Kawasaki Ichiro and Sada Nick watched the synchronized stock market trend on the Bloomberg machine, and they all opened their mouths involuntarily.

   "It fell by nearly 3% at the beginning of the market... Mr. President?" They were just a little stunned, and their faces turned red feverishly and looked at Tao Zhiming.

   "Wait!" Tao Zhiming folded his arms and spoke in a sonorous tone.

   "It's 3%!" Ichiro Kawasaki asked in surprise, "Don't you buy it now? Selling orders are soaring now..."

   "Wait!" Tao Zhi commanded concisely.

   Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada were restless. This time, Onodera Fortune is short. Today, they have to buy the corresponding stock and go out to complete the transaction.

   After falling by more than 10% last week, it has fallen by 3% today, and I have made a lot of money.

   But Tao Zhiming's eyes were sharp, and he never issued an order.

  Now the stock market is full of stop-loss selling, and sell orders have increased sharply.

   It was almost an hour after the market opened, and there were more than 90 blue-chip sell orders that could not find a buyer. The stampede has already occurred, and 11 of the 30 benchmark stocks in the Dow Jones Index, which have historically been the best investment targets, have not yet traded.

   All are on sale, no one is buying.

   "It's already below 2000..." Ichiro Kawasaki swallowed and his pupils contracted, "It's more than 10%... I've never seen such a scene..."

   He turned his head and glanced at it, the president still remained motionless.

   As soon as Tao Zhiming's cell phone rang, the two immediately became nervous: Mr. President, is he waiting for some news? Ready to get started?

   Nick Sada could understand the phone.

   On the phone, Hector's voice was trembling: "It's crazy... It's crazy, I heard that there are nearly 100 million trading orders that are too late to process now..."

   "Have you sold it yet?"

   "I waited for an hour and a half before I finally sold it... I lost 9.6%. Isn't this the bottom? You said you were buying the bottom..."

  Tao Zhiming sighed and said, "It feels far from over. Get yourself a cup of coffee first and calm down. I'm going to wait until the last hour."

   "Did you go crazy in the last hour?" Hector exclaimed, "The trading system has no time to process the order, you... Wait, are you also going to buy the dips?"

  Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "The drop in the morning is so big, there will definitely be news at noon. Contact me as soon as possible, remember!"

   When he hung up the phone, Sada Nick couldn't help asking: "The last hour?"

   "Yes, the last hour. How much did GE, T&T, Coca-Cola, Westinghouse, Express, Boeing... each drop?"

   "It's more than 20%..." Kawasaki Ichiro's voice also trembled, "Sir President, enough is enough... I have fallen enough..."

   "Wait!" The answer to them was still a sonorous word.

   Xiangdao in the distance, whether it was Li Jiacheng or Lu Yan, were staring at the U.S. stock market from different places, their faces pale.

   In just one or two hours, the U.S. stock index fell even more than the Hong Kong stock market index all day.

  However, in the global financial market, which one can compare with the influence of the United States?

   "...This is real despair." Li Jiacheng murmured, "Tomorrow's opening... No, we can't open tomorrow!"

   He seems to have seen many investors finally go to the rooftops in despair after seeing that the U.S. stock market also collapsed.

   Fragrant Island’s stock market took the lead in plummeting, and after passing through the United States in a circle, it finally brewed into an unprecedented tsunami. Tomorrow, it will engulf this place again. And these big companies that bear the brunt of the Hong Kong stock market will all have their valuations cut in half, and then cut in half...

   "How can the market be closed! In that case, as a financial center, is Xiangdao still credible?"

"Without closing the market, what do you think will happen tomorrow?" Li Jiacheng said in a deep voice, "There are still more than 3,000 points, maybe it will drop to 2,000 points tomorrow, or even 1,000 points eventually! Do you know how big a crisis this will cause? ?"

   "How is 1000 points possible... What nonsense are you talking about!"

   "Brother Zhaofu, the meeting must be opened. It's too late, it will only open again in a few hours, and the Stock Exchange must make a decision!"

   "Wait, I'll take a call first..."

   Li Jiacheng put the phone aside and frowned.

   Saving the market also requires funds. Judging from the current situation, it is not enough to reduce interest rates or provide some funds from Hong Kong Island Bank and Standard Chartered Bank... I don't know how the mainland is reacting now. After all, Xiangdao has confirmed that he will return, will they take care of this?

   After a while, the voice on the phone came: "Li Sheng?"

"I am here!"

On the other end of the phone, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange, Li Zhaofu, said in a heavy voice: "A friend from the United States called and said that the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States made a speech, saying that if necessary, he would discuss with the stock exchange to temporarily close it. trade…"

   "Even the United States has to consider temporarily suspending the market, Brother Zhaofu, we can't wait any longer!"

   "This is a big deal, I'll convene the entire committee for a meeting!"

   This news from the United States instantly caused even greater panic.

  Once the exchange is closed and traders don’t have time to throw away the stocks in their hands, the stocks in their hands are likely to be worthless in the end, and thousands of dollars will be turned to ashes.

  Under the influence of such a decline, how many companies will cause various problems due to the evaporation of market value, and eventually lead to bankruptcy?

   It is already more than one o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, and the market has been closed for only more than two hours.

   In the next hour, the decline accelerated, and the Dow Jones fell by more than 200 points again. This hour, compared with the opening, it fell by more than 10%…

   "It rebounded! It rebounded!" Kawasaki Ichiro's heart raised in his throat, his eyes were blood red, and he asked dryly, "Master President..."

   "Wait!" Tao Zhiming is still the word.

   This wave of rebound is extremely ferocious. In just ten minutes, the index rose by nearly 300 points.

  Tao Zhiming felt even more relieved in his heart, which showed that the general panic was not enough to be influenced by him.

   He is not so greedy either. What if it is too late to process because of the number of transactions, and I have it in my hands?

   Just get the point.

   Looking at the numbers that have skyrocketed in a short period of time, Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada glanced at each other: "Has someone started to support the market? Are the funds of those big companies or the official government of the United States?"

   "I can't protect it!" Tao Zhiming finally said, "Get ready!"

  Kawasaki Ichiro and Sada Nick immediately entered the state, at this moment, they were dominated by the hormones extremely secreted in the body.

   Sure enough, it was 3:00 p.m. U.S. time, and it was already 4:00 a.m. on the Tokyo side. Tremblingly at the peak of the rebound, the index solidified and struggled for a few minutes, and then turned around and went down again.

   Straight down!

  In the state of all sell orders, Onodera Fortune began to sweep the goods.

   Tao Zhiming called Hector: "Hurry up!"

   The horizon has faintly shimmered, this is Tokyo at more than four in the morning.

   By the time it was close to five in the morning, Onodera Fortune had already collected the stocks that needed to be returned for short-selling exchanges. In addition, at the end of this year, we also purchased the liquid shares of many large companies.

   On this day, the number of transactions in the U.S. stock market has reached six times the usual amount, and of these, nearly one-third of the sell orders have not been accepted or have not been processed in time.

The    stock index fell by 22.6%, but large companies, as the main trading targets, fell much more, basically around 30%.

   On this day, the 500 billion yuan in the US stock market evaporated, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the GDP of the United States at this time, and nearly twice the GDP of Xia Guo last year.

   Of the more than 1,600 stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange that day, only 52 did not fall, while nearly 1,200 stocks fell to the lowest point in a year.

  Before Tao Zhiming appeared, Bill Gates, the youngest billionaire in the world, lost more than 3.9 billion yuan a day.

   At this moment, some of the earnings were announced, and Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada were already full of awe as they looked at Tao Zhiming.

  Because what he made by shorting this part of the U.S. stock market was almost close to what Bill Gates lost.

   "It's not over yet." Tao Zhiming smiled and patted their shoulders, "Before the opening of the Tianliang Neon Stock Market and Xiangdao Stock Market, there is still some time to take a nap."

  Yes, it's not over yet. I know that they were shocked by the profit from this wave of short selling, but the neon stock market is the big show today, and Xiangdao, as long as the market is closed, and trading resumes after the market opens, how can it hold the current 3,300 points ? The biggest one-day drop in this wave of Xiangdao has yet to come.

   It was more than five o'clock in the morning, and the sky had already started to light up.

   Onodera Rana walked beside him, her eyes terrifyingly bright: "Would you like to... take a break as well?"

   Tao Zhiming looked at her and smiled: "Then go and rest for a while."

   All that is needed now is an emotional catharsis.

   But this time, Tao Zhiming didn't protect anything anymore: "After this time, Onodera's wealth can rest for two years and be consolidated for two years. So..."

   Onodera Rana's eyes brightened, and she greeted her with no emotion.

  Two years is just enough...to give birth to a child!

   Yesterday, 2 updates were completed, today 20,000 words, please vote!
