The Goddess Shines on America

　　 In just one week, the people of the United States suddenly realized that the sky seemed to have changed.

First of all, there is no doubt that this is a stock market disaster. As various financial media and authoritative organizations continue to release data, more and more people have become more and more aware of what has happened in the global stock market in the past few days. .

　　 October 19, 1987, Monday, this is a day worthy of permanent commemoration by the people of the whole country. The New York stock market on Wall Street saw a stock market crash, which was called the biggest crash in history. The Dow Jones Index plummeted 508 points in one day, a drop of 226, a single-day drop since 1941. The highest record. Within 65 hours, the New York stock index lost 500 billion U.S. dollars, its value is equivalent to one-eighth of the country's annual gross national product, and it is directly equivalent to the whole of France!

The most direct result of this is that countless middle-class families suddenly lost huge amounts of property, countless mortgages, car loans, and various types of loans cannot be returned in time. A large number of companies will fire employees and a large number of residents. You will lose your job overnight!

　　Of course, not all families will be difficult to maintain, because not everyone will be burdened with huge debts, and not all companies will fire all employees. Of course, many small and medium-sized enterprises are indeed immediately caught in business difficulties. Many newly recruited employees and ordinary white-collar workers have received a letter of resignation, such as the express logistics industry, fast food chain restaurants, and supermarket industries, and they have been dismissed during this week. A large number of employees. At any time, the most suffering will always be the disadvantaged.

　　 But at the same time, the media around the world are moving. They are arguably the industry that is least afraid of economic crises in the world, because the more this time, the more news that needs to be reported from all corners of the world. Regardless of how a person is affected by the economic crisis, he will definitely not lack a newspaper's change. Secondly, he needs to understand the current news more than anyone else, so this instead gives many media a chance to fully express themselves. .

　　 How many years have passed since the Great Depression at the end of the 1920s, how many media have not adopted black-and-white format by coincidence?

　　 fifty years ago.

　　 Just one week is not enough to make most people enjoy it. Although they understand the meaning of the stock market crash, and some people were pessimistically afraid of the big stock market crash on Friday the 16th, but when this scene does happen, not many people can easily accept it.

　　Because, the United States really hasn't happened again in 50 years.

　　 The late 1950s and the entire 1960s were the "golden age" of economic development in the United States. The national economy continues to grow steadily, and the inflation rate and unemployment rate have dropped to very low levels. By the 1980s, the stock market had gone through a bull market that lasted for 50 years. The stock market value had skyrocketed from US$2,472 billion in 1980 to US$5,995 billion in 1986. It easily achieved a miraculous change that more than doubled. .

　　 Since 1982, the stock price trend has continued to rise, and the trading volume has also increased rapidly. The Finance Department of the Business School has produced a large number of talents in batches. Wall Street is surging day and night. Many research institutions are proud and excited to study every stock on the US stock market. Many financial media magazines, led by the Wall Street Journal, are even more so. Subconsciously, it is reducing reports on the external stock market. Because for the American people, their own stocks are enough to attract all their energy.

　　Who knows, such a thing happened suddenly.

　　 Of course, since Tuesday, various measures have been implemented. Even as early as Monday's closing day, the government and related institutions that will not stop functioning for a moment have been saving the stock market all the time.

　　 The Hong Kong stock market announced on Tuesday that it was closed for four days. It was Hong Kong stocks. West Germany announced the reduction of the securities repurchase rate, and the Group of Seven countries began to discuss how to provide liquidity to the financial system. That is an international matter. The international sector is certainly important, but for ordinary Americans who suddenly become impoverished overnight, what they are most concerned about is, of course, the measures taken by their own authorities.

　　 On the day of the crash, there were already extremely strong reactions from all walks of life in the United States, with numerous reports and comments published on radio, television, and newspapers. And the biggest piece of it is the original paragraph of the statement issued by the White House after the market closed. The general idea is that the country’s economy is operating well, the employment rate is at the highest level, and the

Production has also continued to increase, and trade balances have also continued to improve. The Federal Reserve Board recently issued a speech saying that there is no sign that inflation will occur further.

　　 But is this true?

　　 What countless members of the public have learned is that a researcher from the New York Stock Exchange made a speech, saying that I hope this situation will not continue, and other relevant officials have also made speeches to stabilize market sentiment.

　　On the evening of October 19, President Reagan immediately recalled the Minister of Finance Baker who was visiting West Germany, and the Federal Reserve Bank Greenspan in other places to discuss countermeasures and pay close attention to the development of the situation.

Then, it was the first day after the nightmare officially began. On Tuesday morning, banks stopped providing credit to professional brokers and traders because they were worried that those people would go bankrupt and would not be able to collect loans, and professional brokers no longer have enough. Cash pays a margin to the exchange to maintain the responsibility of trading smoothly, because on Monday, they have bought an excessive amount of stock to prevent the stock from falling.

　　 So bear the brunt of the fact that these professional brokers will not be able to participate in the stock trading on the second day, which will undoubtedly contribute to the continued decline and prolonged downturn of the stock market. At this critical moment, the Federal Reserve Board issued a historic speech, supporting banks to continue to issue loans for stock traders and will immediately inject funds into the banking system.

　　 So immediately, the two major commercial banks immediately announced the reduction of preferential interest rates. The Chemical Bank quickly increased its securities loans by US$400 million, and the Bankers Trust Company also stated that it would guarantee the funding needs of customers under any circumstances. Those listed companies that were listed on the stock exchange slightly restored their confidence. President Reagan and Secretary of the Treasury Baker also spoke about this separately, and again and again to appease all citizens.

　　 After taking these measures, the stock market did indeed rise by one hundred points on Tuesday, and it soared by nearly two hundred points again on Wednesday compared to Tuesday. But unfortunately, when Thursday arrived, the stock price had unfortunately dropped by a full seventy points. Therefore, when the evening news was broadcast on Thursday, President Reagan made a televised speech for the third time, striving for the cooperation of the whole people to prepare for a marathon against the stock market disaster.

　　 Then, at the end of the week, when the market closed on Friday came again, it was time for the major media to get busy again and repeatedly evaluate the gains and losses of this week.

　　 Then, at the time of the summary, a very interesting situation was first discovered by the East Coast paper media such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Herald.

　　 In fact, this is a continuous report, but in the whole process, few people have the energy to pay attention.

　　 A large retail investor is "rescuing the market."

　　 No one cares how many times King Alice has visited the stock market before. Everyone knows that she hasn't been idle this week.

　　 First of all, the Coca-Cola Company, which fell by 365 on the first day, just opened on Tuesday. This girl made a crazy investment of 50 million US dollars. Then, with the gradual improvement of the overall market, this investment that was extremely wise from a later point of view immediately brought me millions of dollars in net profit.

　　 The problem is that when the market opened again on Thursday, Alice Wang took advantage of Coca-Cola's short position and didn't suffer any loss. On Thursday when it began to slowly rebound, she re-injected the 50 million yuan of principal into this stock, and then made profits again with the market.

　　 A similar situation has appeared on several stocks and has attracted the attention of many financial professionals. Because her investment is huge, her operations are very frequent. When she bought 50 million shares of Coca-Cola on Tuesday, she directly invested 3 million US dollars to buy all the shares of a small TV network, and did not sell it again until the weekend.

The people at JPMorgan Chase immediately conducted a detailed investigation on the deal~www.readwn.com~The scale of the Engler TV network is not large, and it ranks in the middle among countless TV networks of various sizes across the country, and of course it is not at all. It may be compared with and waiting for the "Big Five". As a "pink stock" on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, its market value was originally not high, and it was no surprise that it was bought by a mere three million US dollars after the stock disaster.

　　 Someone has investigated the acquisition.

　　 But this is just a routine.

　　 There are too many things worth investigating, even if the other large capital contributions of King Alice herself are enough to allow Xu

Many people are paying attention.

　　 With hindsight, the Nasdaq people discovered that Alice had sold a lot of Microsoft stock as early as October 1. Of course, as the second largest shareholder of this company, when the market value of the entire enterprise has evaporated by more than 3 billion yuan, she cannot be spared. But when that historic Monday arrived, her selling behavior saved herself at least 207 million yuan in losses.

　　 "Two hundred and seven million?"

Manhattan, New York, "Times Life" building, Fortune magazine headquarters, a gray-haired lady reading the research report, whispered: "Is this girl already so rich? It's just the loss avoided by selling stocks. Has the entire value of the previous one?"

　　 whispered like this, she looked directly at the bookcase behind her. In the upper left corner of the only mahogany bookcase in this private office, a certain volume of magazines was placed there, and the cover printed on the cover was like a smiling upper body photo of King Alice. To be continued.
