Chapter 594 Make a fortune in the futures market
[The Crazy of Wall Street People!]
[AP Report: Since the outbreak of the 9/11 incident, hundreds of investment banks on Wall Street have crazily shorted the US stock market and Nasdaq shares, and the overall stock market has shown continuous turbulence. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq have plummeted for three consecutive days.]
[Reuters report: Today is the third day after the 9/11 incident. The families of victims from all over the United States, including anti-war people from all over the world, gathered at the World Trade Center to participate in the memorial activities.]
......
"The financial market is really chaotic now, getting more and more chaotic!"
Zhu Ke read several morning newspapers in a row and felt that Wall Street was really crazy enough, and he made money in the national crisis so cruel.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.
Her girlfriend Lima was wearing a pair of red shorts, a white shirt on her upper body, and holding a dining plate in her hand, with milk, bread and breakfast meat on it. She walked over slowly.
"Dear, you got up very early today." Lima sat next to Zucker.
"certainly."
Zhuke took a glass of milk, drank it all immediately, and smiled, "I'm going to fly to New York this morning, so of course I have to get up earlier."
Hearing this, Lima said in surprise: "Why did you apply for the route so quickly?"
Zhuke curled his lips and said, "It took two days to successfully apply for a private jet flight to New York. Is that fast? If I had put it before the 9/11 incident, I could get the route with just one phone call, so it would be as slow as it is now."
After the outbreak of the 9/11 incident, the strict air control has become the norm.
The facts are indeed as Zucker said.
Before 911, Zhuke could easily handle the route with just one phone call. Now it is not possible. After all, this is the most severe impact of the 911 incident. Well, the person applying for the flight route is Zhuke. Otherwise, if someone else comes, let alone two days, even ten days may not be able to handle it.
"Well, was it because of Dafeng Capital?"
Lima asked.
Upon hearing this, Zucker shook his head and said, "There are reasons for this, but...not all. Well, Michael Bloomberg, do you know?"
"Of course I know."
Lima replied: "He is the boss of Bloomberg, the world's largest financial information company. He is now the mayor of New York and a regular on Forbes' rich rankings."
Zhuke nodded and said, "He and I are friends. Now there is 9/11 in New York? Is his life difficult? So he called on us rich friends to hold a charity fundraising event."
"His face? I have to give it to you."
After the words fell? Lima suddenly realized.
......
At noon.
Zucker's private car, the "Rola", landed successfully at New York International Airport.
In the past, after Zhu Ke and his group got off the plane, whoever passed the security check would quickly leave the airport.
But today is different.
"Mr. Wald? I hope you can understand, understand, and cooperate with our security check." said a US military officer in the lead.
Behind him were more than a dozen fully armed American soldiers.
Zhuke nodded: "My people will cooperate."
There is no way, the current anti-terrorism situation is so strict, even if Zhu Ke is a well-known billionaire in the United States, he is no exception.
In fact? Not only Zhu Ke and his group? At this moment, there are also a large number of social elites and wealthy people, who are undergoing very strict security checks at the VIP exit at the airport.
"Damn terrorists, if it weren't for them, I would have arrived in New York two days ago? How could it take a few days? And this security check is too strict? Just almost took off all my clothes, bastard."
A rich man was dissatisfied with the strict security check? He couldn't help but curse.
Others present were also dissatisfied.
The US military officer in charge of security checks, who was in charge of security, said again: "Sorry for everyone? I hope you can understand it and cooperate with our work."
Is his attitude humble? He is full of smiles.
After all, many wealthy people and social elites present could not afford to offend him and his soldiers.
This is also the norm for airport VIP exports in recent days. But if you change to an ordinary airport exit, do you check the security check?
hehe!
In contrast, you will find that the security check at the airport VIP exit is already very gentle. If you change to the ordinary pick-up port, if you dare to complain to the security checkpoint, these American soldiers may hit you with a butt stock.
Don't think it's incredible. A few days after the outbreak of the 9/11 incident, it was common for passengers to be knocked down by US soldiers at the airport.
Passengers were taken away on the spot, which is not uncommon.
The financial market is full of chaos, so what about the airport?
“Huh?”
Just as Zhuke was waiting for security check, he suddenly found an acquaintance.
——John Merard Jr.!
He is the largest real estate developer in Wisconsin and the owner of Menaz Home Decoration, one of the largest personal home decoration chain brands in the United States.
Menaz Home Improvement Company has a market value of up to US$6 billion;
His personal net worth is also a rich man of over $2 billion.
By 2020, John Mernard's personal wealth will exceed 18.8 billion US dollars, making him a big shot.
He and Zhuke are friends.
At the end of 2000, Zucker spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the Dede Page Manor. The subsequent manor renovation work was undertaken by a company under the name of John Mernard Jr.
"Hi, Menard!" Zucker greeted him.
"Uh? It turns out it's you, Juke!"
John Mernard, a young man, was very enthusiastic when he saw it was Zhuke.
Although he is called "Little John", he is actually quite old, and he is 60 years old this year.
The two started chatting simply.
During the chat, Zucker learned that he came to New York from Wisconsin to participate in the renovation bidding for the construction of a New York mall; at the same time, he also accepted an invitation to a charity fundraising event initiated by Bloomberg founder and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
After more than 20 minutes...
Zhuke and his group and Merard and his group had just completed the security inspection work.
"Mernard, then we'll go our separate ways." Zucker said goodbye.
John Mernard Jr. nodded and smiled, "Of course. But it doesn't matter. We will meet in three days. After all, we have to give Michael Bloomberg some of the face."
......
New York - Dafeng Capital.
“Boss!”
In the huge conference room, a group of Dafeng Capital executives and senior partners led by President Anthony Chelop stood up immediately after Zhu Ke arrived.
Zhuke pressed his hands and smiled and said, "Sit down and talk. Ms. Clayley, you are the company's chief data analyst and one of the senior partners. Let's talk about the situation of the financial market across the United States in recent days. After all, the news I learned from the media is not very reliable."
Upon hearing this, Chief Data Analyst Clare immediately stood up.
"Recently, the financial markets across the United States, whether it is the stock market, foreign exchange or futures market, can be described as a random thought. The first batch of investment banks with Federal Reserve backgrounds in Willis Investment have been frantically shorting American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue and other aerospace stocks for several consecutive days. The process can be described as simple, rough, and plundering."
"According to the information I have received, the total amount of these investment banks' accounts in the past few days will not be less than US$30 billion."
"Of course, this is because I am restricted by the data, and it is a conservative estimate."
"At the same time, capital groups from Asia, Europe and Australia have been described as crazy siege in North American financial markets in recent days. They have swept at least more than $100 billion in funds."
......
Zhuke suddenly interrupted: "Did the five major Wall Street investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, and Merrill Lynch have participated in this short selling?"
The five major investment banks on Wall Street have always been the focus of Zucker's attention.
They are the weather vane of the financial market.
"Boss, I can say responsibly that they all participate in short selling!" Clarey said firmly.
Zhuke nodded heavily and said, "Sure enough...it's so exciting! Even if they know that they may face huge fines from the federal authorities afterwards, they still can't sit still!"
The faces of Anti Chelop and others twitched slightly.
In fact, if Zhu Ke had not stopped him, the executives of Dafeng Capital would not be able to sit still!
You should know that after the sudden outbreak of 9/11, just over a dozen minutes later, when Emperor An took the initiative to participate in this gluttonous feast when he called Zhuke.
Making money is the first principle in the minds of Wall Street people!
Anthi Chelop couldn't help saying, "Boss, are we really not involved? You must know that it will earn hundreds of millions of dollars a day!"
He still couldn't help but speak.
The executives present could not remain calm in the face of huge returns.
You said, aren’t you worried about settlement after the autumn?
It confirms the saying that people die for money and birds die for food. People always have a lucky mentality, which has nothing to do with the amount of personal wealth. What's more, Wall Street people are crazy in their bones, and they do a lot of things that trample on all the legal and moral things that trample on society.
Zhuke once again rejected Andi's proposal!
"I don't support the short selling action in the financial market in the near future."
"But, we can do more!"
Zhuke said slyly: "You said that if the two houses of the United States approved Bush's war operations, will military-industry stocks rise sharply? Will the futures market for important materials such as oil, soybeans, and corn explode?"
Approve the war?!
As soon as these words came out, the audience exploded instantly.
Chapter completed!
