Chapter 396, gluttonous feast (supplement)(1/2)
At 10 o'clock, the Hong Kong stock market opened first.
A moment later, the bustle of people in the trading hall suddenly stopped for a moment, and then started making noises in panic.
Some people even wiped their eyes and looked at the dazzling numbers on the screen: "What's going on? Is there an error? I remember it was not this price at the closing price!"
"Gan! Are you still calling back? Gan!"
Fifteen minutes later, the Hong Kong stock index had fallen by 120 points, a plunge of about 3%.
The color of the sky seems to have become depressing.
In the next hour, it fell again by more than 100 points.
At first, the depressive atmosphere only existed in the trading floor and around people who were paying attention to the stock market in various places. And they did not have any energy or emotion to meet other people. They could not keep their eyes away from those who were getting smaller and smaller.
numbers, or busy selling off quickly.
Then, the lunch break came, and the atmosphere of the stock market finally spread. The teahouses and restaurants in Central were still crowded, but everyone's face was not relaxed, but solemn as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
On TV and radio, news of the stock market's sharp fall in the morning spread like wildfire, and the headlines made people feel horrified.
After going out, the noon sun was still shining high, but some people felt their eyes were dark. What was even more outrageous was that some people saw police cars and ambulances not far away.
"What happened?"
"One jumped down just now..."
The loss of life makes the midday sun feel cold, seeming to herald an even more ominous afternoon.
Sure enough, after the market opened at 2:30 p.m., the stock index plunged 185 points again within an hour, even more violently than in the morning.
When the market closed, today's Hong Kong stock index fell by more than 400 points, a drop of more than 11%.
Li Ju, who had just landed, was a little confused when he saw the depressing atmosphere in the airport, and then saw the scary headlines on the TV news.
[Unprecedented massacre: Stock futures plummeted by more than 400 points]
And the smaller scrolling text reads: [The Central murder case reappears! Another citizen commits suicide in despair...]
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly found a phone number to call the company.
The Li family's company is an important component of the Hong Kong stock market. How much has it fallen?
At the same time in Tokyo, it is already past five o'clock.
Kawasaki Ichiro asked puzzledly: "Why don't you buy it today? You can make enough money this way. What if Xiangdao rebounds tomorrow?"
Tao Zhiming's eyes were also a little sour, but he said categorically: "I don't care about the Xiang Island side, wait until 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, no matter whether Hong Kong will be closed for an unprecedented four days tomorrow as in memories, the panic in Hong Kong has already been created, and the market will inevitably continue to fall when it reopens.
Neon, on the other hand, is in the midst of a bubble economy and has a lot of new stocks, so they will all jump into bargain-hunting. They will only suffer the sharpest drop tomorrow after suffering the sharp drop in the US stock market at night.
The focus is still on the American side.
After a simple dinner, Runa Onodera looked at the numbers on the machine screen nervously.
Now, she can understand a little better.
She also knew that Onodera's wealth, as well as Tao Zhiming's own funds, were invested in this big strategy.
"Don't be nervous. The current decline in the Hong Kong stock market alone is enough for us to make a fortune." Tao Zhiming quietly looked forward to the moment when the rice stocks opened.
"Sir President, why is this decline... so scary?"
Tao Zhiming smiled lightly, because this was the first time he encountered a major stock market crash since he used a computer trading system to trade stocks.
A sudden drop will trigger a large series of automatic selling orders, suddenly forming a selling panic. Coupled with the model of portfolio insurance, it is naturally more inclined to avoid suspicion. Once stock index options, which are important indicators, fluctuate violently, computer trading
The program will trigger an avalanche of reactions.
What is even more characteristic of the times is that at this time, there was no circuit breaker mechanism.
So Hong Kong’s 11% today is nothing.
The Dow Jones Index in the United States fell by more than 22%!
When the market in Hong Kong reopens after the market close, it will drop another 1,100 points that day, with the day's drop reaching 33%.
This is a unique feast in a short period of time!
His mobile phone suddenly rang, and on the other end of the phone was Ector's trembling voice: "Tao, what are you busy with? Have you seen the situation in the Hong Kong stock market?"
"I got up quite early." Tao Zhiming actually asked with a smile, "It's night here now, and I've been keeping an eye on the situation of Xiangdao and Neon all day."
"...will it affect the rice stocks?" Hector's voice was trembling a little, "With my little money, didn't the Dow Jones fall by 4.6% last Friday? I bought the bottom..."
"Copying the bottom?" Tao Zhiming coughed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."
"Don't laugh! It's fallen so much in three days. How could we not introduce countermeasures over the weekend? That's what I thought... But something seems wrong. You said that your own funds will be counted as contributions to our fund first. How can you
Did you see it?"
"I don't know the situation yet." Tao Zhiming did not answer clearly, "I definitely won't just bet on one side. I will wait until the market opens to see the situation and know whether I have made a profit or a loss overall."
"Have you seen any new good news?" Hector felt as if he was grasping at straws. "Have you seen any new good news on that Bloomberg machine?"
Tao Zhiming thought for a moment, and then said: "Hector, for your part of the money you are playing with, I have a suggestion. If you are willing to listen, then listen."
"Say!" That's what Ector wanted, because the market was about to open, and he was already panicking when he saw Xiangdao plummeted by 11%.
Tao Zhiming wanted to create a "stock god" image for Hector, and now was indeed a good opportunity.
Therefore, he said: "After the market opens, don't hesitate. Just press the drop of at least 5%. Get rid of it first if you can. When it's about to close, buy the bottom. When the market closes the day after tomorrow, sell again."
"At least a 5% drop?" Hector's scalp went numb, and then he quickly asked, "You mean, it will only drop for one day?"
"I just feel that the situation in the stock market today requires the Federal Reserve to take action. Of course, this is 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 dialed Lu Yan's phone again and said unexpectedly: "Mrs. Li, what's going on with the stock market in Hong Kong today? I didn't expect that I just finished talking about worrying last night.
It will fall, but it really fell like this..."
"...No one can sleep now. If the stock market in the United States also plummets today, it will be really troublesome..." Lu Yan was worried for a moment, "Today, New Era Real Estate fell by more than 72%, and the Li family and the Guo family
Sun Hung Kai has fallen by nearly 64%, and TVB does not seem so miserable..."
"We have to take some measures tomorrow, right?" Tao Zhiming also sounded worried, "Now we have to save the market. I also invested a lot of money in the Hong Kong stock market..."
"How big is Mr. Tao's loss today?" Lu Yan asked tentatively.
"Hey, it's no longer a matter on Hong Kong Island. Neon's impact today is limited. It mainly depends on the United States. If the U.S. stock market also plummets and Neon opens again at dawn tomorrow, it will be really troublesome...
...Mrs. Lee, Xiangdao must still have to look at the trend in the United States before deciding what to do? If there is news, no matter how late it is, I hope you can call me. I can't sleep these two days!"
Although Ichiro Kawasaki and the others could not understand what Tao Zhiming and Lu Yan said, the tone of the president's voice clearly expressed that they had suffered a heavy loss. They looked at each other and gave him a strange look.
How could he act so similar? He obviously made a lot of money today...
The neon night is getting darker, and it is an hour later than Hong Kong Island here, but those who have invested in the stock market tonight are destined to have no sleep.
Onodera Fortune's phone number had been buzzing, and Onodera Runa had to go to the customer service department and relay the reply to them according to the previous plan.
"I understand your concerns very much. Due to the special situation, all members of the club are working overtime today, so please rest assured that we will always be here..."
"Please believe in the ability of Onodera Wealth. What I can answer for sure is that the Housewives Financial Management Fund did not suffer any losses in this incident..."
"Don't worry, Supervisor Reiko Ishibashi has already called to ask, and after the stock market closes tomorrow, Onodera Wealth will hold a special press conference. I can clearly reply to you that the Housewife Financial Management Fund has not suffered any losses..."
"..."
It was 10:30 at night in Tokyo, and the stock market opened in New York.
As soon as the market opened, the Dow Jones Index was actually 67 points lower than when it closed last Friday. The green numbers almost filled the entire screen, and there were only a few red numbers as they changed from page to page.
Kawasaki Ichiro and Sada Nick looked at the stock market trends synchronized on the Bloomberg machine, and their mouths opened involuntarily.
"It dropped nearly 3% at the opening... Sir?" They were just stunned for a moment, and their faces turned red feverishly as they looked at Tao Zhiming.
"Wait!" Tao Zhiming folded his arms and spoke in a sonorous tone.
"3%!" Ichiro Kawasaki asked in shock, "Why don't you buy it now? Selling orders are increasing sharply now..."
"Wait!" Tao Zhiming's words were concise and concise.
Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada were restless. This time, Onodera Fortune was short-selling. Today, they had to buy the corresponding stocks and go out to complete the transaction.
After falling by more than 10% last week, it has fallen by 3% today. 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 people selling stocks to stop losses, and selling orders have increased sharply.
It was almost an hour after the market opened, and there were actually more than 90 blue-chip stocks with sell orders that could not find buyers. A stampede had already occurred. Among the 30 index stocks in the Dow Jones Index, which have always been the best investment targets, there were actually 11
The withdrawal generates a transaction.
They are all for sale and no one is buying them.
"It has fallen below 2,000 points..." Kawasaki Ichiro swallowed, his pupils contracted, "It has exceeded 10%... I have never seen such a scene..."
He turned his head and glanced, but the president remained motionless.
To be continued...
