"Hey~ I'm Lid~"

Lid connected the phone, but in the next second, his relaxed expression instantly froze, and the swinging boss chair stopped shaking.

He stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he looked like he was devoured.

"What? How could this be?"

"Fake, I'll go over here!"

Lid hurriedly hung up the phone and walked out of the office, looking flustered, almost tripping over the carpet at the door.

...

October 5, 1987.

The sky above Niuyu is sunny, and the autumn breath blows the red leaves falling to the ground, as if telling everyone that today's stock market must be red all the way as usual.

·

At eight o'clock in the morning, financial elites from all over the world started a new day of work. The streets of Wall Street were full of people, and traders in major financial companies began to pick up the phone and prepare to contact customers.

The air of Wall Street is full of money again in middle age, and everything is still as busy and orderly.

Fitt Byrne is an old investor, in his forties. He participated in the South Vietnam War when he was young. He was injured in his right leg and was hit by a bullet. He still walks a little bumpy.

It was when he and his teammates went to a small village to sweep, and were injured by a home-made mine.

Fortunately, the mine was not very powerful, and he took his life.

After returning to China, he bought a truck with his pension and started a freight business. With the expansion of the business, he also made a lot of money.

Later, I started to get in touch with the stock market under the leadership of my friends, and I made a fortune when I bought stocks for the first time.

From then on, Byrne became more and more interested in stocks.

This thing doesn't need to be bumpy and carry goods outside all day, you don't need to get dirty and tired all day, and you don't need to always worry about accidents on the road, car accidents or robbery.

In short, although stocks are also risky, they are like white powder, which makes people infatuated and unable to extricate themselves.

As a result, Byrne has gone further and further on the road of being an investor, earning and losing over the years.

A few days ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Byrne bought a lot of stocks in Internet companies.

Many people say that the Internet is the future development trend of the world.

To be honest, Bourne doesn't understand what the Internet is, but he understands line graphs.

After companies such as Microsoft and Cisco went public, the market value rose like crazy, and Bourne's eyes were full of enthusiasm.

I can't help regretting that if I bought the stock when they just went public, I'm afraid my worth would have doubled now.

But it's not too late, and stocks in the Internet industry are still rising.

So Byrne took all his money to buy Microsoft's stock.

The time slowly approached 8:59. Byrne was sitting in the exchange, looking at the big screen above, excitedly waiting for the market to open.

Chapter 579 Green 【Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

In the past year, the Nasdaq and the Dow have both risen rapidly, and the entire stock market has been filled with a manic and irritable atmosphere.

The U.S. economy is growing rapidly, products are dumped all over the world, and money is being made everywhere. The U.S. is the world's number one power, which is a matter of course.

Everyone's pockets were bulging, and excitement and joy filled everyone's faces.

It's Monday, nine in the morning.

"Dangdangdang~"

With the ringing of the bell of the Niuyue Stock Exchange, a new day begins.

In the trading floor, various large screens were opened for the first time.

Byrne stared at the screen and saw the still red numbers beating on it, and Microsoft's stock rose another 6 percent.

He just thinks that the most beautiful thing in the world is just that.

He bought all his money into internet stocks, the hottest industry in two years.

Still red.

After this day, his worth will rise again.

"Hahaha~"

Byrne grinned, glanced at the gains after the opening bell, and calculated his fortune in his heart.

$113,000!

This is his entire net worth, which is already a huge sum of money.

Don't think that Americans live in paradise, in fact, most Americans only have a weekly salary of one or two hundred dollars.

Moreover, they have to repay the mortgage, and they have to pay property taxes and property fees every year, which are very expensive.

Therefore, there are many homeless people in the United States. They are all people who have their houses taken away by banks because they have no money.

On average, most Americans don't necessarily have a few thousand dollars in their pockets.

With $110,000, Byrne is already a little rich.

At this moment, he likes this **** capital society more and more, and likes this land of chaos, violence and decay.

At this moment, he thanked the federal government, thank God, thank the great America, thank everyone.

He was so happy.

Others in the exchange were also full of undisguised cheers, chatting with each other enthusiastically and sharing their investment experience.

The stock market is still going up. Their wealth is still increasing, and the United States still maintains a miracle of economic growth.

"I am the king of the world~"

Byrne wanted to howl loudly at the world, he was excited, and he desperately needed someone to share his joy with.

When he was driving a truck before, his wife disliked him for being poor and quarreled all day. When he gave birth to a child, it turned out to be black, and Bourne was furious.

The woman just ran away, and Byrne wouldn't raise this little **** and was thrown into the orphanage.

So now he is alone.

He immediately thought of the little model he met in the bar a few days ago, a big-ass Bashi girl with a hot and open personality.

Byrne couldn't wait to share the joy with her, and picked up his cell phone.

But when he finished pressing the number, the expression on his face froze in an instant.

His eyes stared blankly at the big screen in front of him, his mouth opened, forming a big 'O'!

Shock!

Byrne couldn't believe his eyes, what was going on?

A moment ago, it was still a red screen, and suddenly it seemed to be enchanted by an evil magician, and almost all of it turned green.

On the largest screen in the middle, a row of green characters is clearly displayed:

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 76 points."

Did it fall?

At this moment, everyone in the exchange seemed to be enchanted, all stunned, and the space froze for a moment.

In the next second, there was one after another in the exchange, with unbelievable exclamations.

"My special? What happened? Why did it turn green?"

"Oh, NO, I must be dreaming, hit me now."

"I'm specializing in Fake!!!"

"No, this must be fake, I don't believe it."

...

The delicate voice of a woman with a big **** came from the mobile phone, but Byrne didn't realize it, and stared blankly at the screen in front of him. At this moment, he was really dumbfounded.

The haze shrouded my heart, my whole body was cold, and the world seemed to be full of chills.

"Everything has turned green~"

Byrne murmured softly, and then his whole body quivered, as if he had thought of something.

In the past ten years, there has never been such a thing that turns green at the same time

Then I really want to have only one!

"Hurry up~"

Byrne shouted frantically in his heart, and quickly ran towards the exchange's telephone.

He must dump all the stocks he holds in the shortest possible time, and he must stop the loss in time.

But what he can think of, others can also think of, and these people are all blindly following the trend.

The exchanges were already in disarray, with phones and trading windows crammed with people scrambling to sell their shares and cut their losses.

Too bad there are too many people.

Even if all the telephones are working non-stop, even if all the traders' hands have become numb, most of them still have no time to escape.

Another few minutes have passed, and the stock is still falling, like a river that has opened its floodgates, with no sign of stopping, and the green range on the screen is getting wider and wider.

"It's over, it's over, my one million, it's over."

"Fake, Fake, how can this happen, how can..."

"I don't believe it. It's all fake. The stock market is still rising. No, no, it can't be like this. Yes, it's all fake."

"Oh God, how cruel you are, that's my life savings."

"..."

At this moment, a huge scream broke out in the exchange, and everyone was like 5.4 if they were crazy, and they didn't believe what was happening in front of them.

How they wish it was a dream.

Unfortunately, the Dow is still falling, everything is so true.

Their world collapsed because a lot of people put their entire worth in the stock market.

Even the car and the house were mortgaged.

Now that all of this is going away from them, with heavy debts on their backs, they'll be worse than tramps.

The same goes for Bourne.

The stock in hand could not be sold, because no one will take over at this time.

His savings for so many years, his wife Ben, are all gone!

He stood blankly in front of the big screen, his face was sluggish, his eyes were blank, and he walked out step by step as if he was completely unconscious.

Chapter 580 The black storm sweeping the world 【Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

The Niuyue Stock Exchange and the major financial trading companies were filled with countless heart-rending cries and roars.

In the VIP room of the exchange, Lid looked at the jumping green numbers on the big screen, his face was unprecedentedly ugly.

blacken!

"Fake, what's going on?"

"Why did Microsoft's stock fall so much, and why did all the stock turn green."

Lid roared wildly, panting, his eyes almost popping out.

The subordinates of the company behind him and the traders of the exchange were silent.

Dave came out and said angrily, "This must be a stock market crash."

Stock market crash?

Hearing this name, everyone's faces changed dramatically. They would not forget the stock market crash ten years ago. Although the US country was not the place where it broke out, the US country was also deeply affected.
