Chapter 179 Seventy-two Hours of Crisis V(1/2)
Edici Federal New York
Lawrence Livermore stood atop the Statue of Liberty, and his assistant Winston traveled through the ether to his side.
Winston held a glass of iced Americano in his hand. He handed the iced Americano to Livermore, who took the iced Americano, took a sip, then looked at the rising sun and said to Winston:
"[Equivalent exchange], this is an undoubted extraordinary iron rule. It can make the weak become strong, and the rotten become immortal. At the same time, it is also the most basic law of exchange in finance. Winston, when I was a child, I lived in the financial streets of New York.
When I was running errands, I was very interested in the constantly changing data on the trading board. I spent 5 hours a day from Monday to Friday and 2 hours a day on Saturday. All I thought about was: the numbers kept changing!"
"Why does it change? And why can't people in the stock market run away? Why do they lose money? Is it because of the push of funds and the combined force of people's collective actions? Maybe.
Outsiders always wonder why people in the stock market don't pay attention to the reasons?
If they have been immersed here for a long time, they will understand that stocks are ahead of the macro, and chips are ahead of policies. Don’t care about the reasons, as long as they have placed their bets, will they still run away?”
“If you want to make the leap from high-roller to professional trader, you must understand one thing: the market is always right.
The market evolves along the line of least resistance, which is the trend; the general trend of the overall market determines the trend of stock evolution, and real profits come from the overall market trend, not the short-term fluctuations of individual stocks."
Winston was hunched over as always, staying silently beside Livermore, while Livermore was looking at the financial streets below.
Before dawn, a large number of investors had gathered around the exchange on the narrow streets of New York Manhattan.
Their expressions were tense, and their eyes revealed their uneasiness about the future.
The Edici stock market has been falling continuously in the past few days, causing people to fall into extreme panic and anxiety.
Finally, the door of the exchange slowly opened, bringing a new day of trading. Investors eagerly poured into the trading hall, hoping to understand the latest market conditions and seek possible ways out.
However, what they saw made everyone gasp.
"Anyone who bought stocks in the middle of 1590 and held them would have had to wait out most of his life before he could make back his losses."
Livermore looked at the desperate crowd and sneered:
"The Roaring Twenties, which belonged to Edici and Colombia, are over.
In the past, the essence of the Roaring Twenties could be described as a somewhat incongruous combination of Terran modernism and iconoclastic spirit. Here, modern thaumatological theory and secular science seemed to be able to make everything possible, and the potential of economic and technological development was
It seems infinitely huge, and everyone is in a completely new and completely different era.
New technologies, especially genealogy, ether engines, cars, movies, and radio, have brought "modernity" to a large number of people. The principle of pragmatism has caused all unnecessary redundant decorations to be removed, whether in the field of architecture or in daily life.
in life.”
"Look, what a magnificent bubble [Financial Street] has created. Look at our dear people in Edici - the phenomenon of hot speculation is intertwined. Thousands of people spend money buying stocks and
[Extraordinary Assets], many of these speculators use financial leverage to buy more stocks.
Now, the amount of daily loans that stock brokers provide to small investors is equivalent to more than two-thirds of the market value of the stock market. The total loan amount on the market exceeds 85 trillion US dollars, which is more than the total amount of currency and [extraordinary assets] currently in circulation in Edici.
There is more. The rise in stock prices attracts more people to invest in stocks, and at the same time, investors expect that stock prices will continue to rise, further pushing up stock prices due to speculative trading, thus forming this magnificent economic bubble."
"You saw it. Everyone saw the dramatic changes in the Kingdom of Heaven. This means that the maintainer of the bubble retracted his hand."
"Now, the bubble is about to burst!"
Livermore looked at the sky and opened his arms.
“The Great Depression is coming!”
"[Financial Street] is about to face a devastating blow. However, this does not mean a disaster, but an opportunity. It is an opportunity for Colombia to reach another level. We will break free from the shackles of heaven, and what will greet us is greater freedom.
market!"
Manhattan's financial streets.
All stock exchanges were in chaos, with investors selling shares, causing stock prices to plummet.
Dramatic changes in the kingdom of heaven, war in the starry sky of [Crystal Sky].
They triggered a panic among the Edici Transcendents, which led to a large number of vicious runs.
The curtain is the foundation of order. Because of the existence of the curtain, many extraordinary beings are willing to interact with their great power and [Financial Street]. This interaction forms various chains.
But now, the kingdom of heaven is weakening, and the front end of the chain has begun to withdraw its assets, and then the entire chain has begun to collapse.
[Financial Street] has gathered a large amount of [extraordinary assets], and at the same time, it has a large amount of super issuance [assets] to others.
The fundamental problem now is that [Financial Street] cannot produce so many [extraordinary assets]. [Extraordinary assets] are not real currency, they cannot be printed if you want, and even if they are real currencies, you can print them if you want.
Currency and inflation issues must also be considered.
Earlier, the [subprime mortgage crisis] was already a sign of the bubble bursting, but now, the excess problem has completely inflated the bubble.
In the final analysis, the dramatic changes in the kingdom of heaven and the war in the starry sky were just the triggers, and the most important fundamental reason was the push behind the Four Monarchs and the Red King.
Yes, [Financial Street] even dares to do their business.
Now, they want [Financial Street] to spit out the money with interest.
At this moment, twelve [Edit West Federal Reserve Banks] began to suppress the collapse of the market, and circuit breaker mechanisms were triggered in various countries.

real world.
The bubble has burst, and the Edici federal government feels it can still hold on to its head.
However, some unexpected things always happen.
Livermore looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said with a smile:
"Now, the Oletin Empire is expected to have completed its centralization of power, and the Daevite Empire should also suppress the revolution; the news of the alliance between the two countries and launching a full-scale war should be spread here. At the same time, Edici was attacked in Oletin's [Mobile City]
The news of the death has probably also reached..."
Rumble——
In the sky above New York, the heavenly space-based stabilizing anchor originally used to maintain the curtain was directly overwhelmed by the huge ether tide.
The gears of fate began to turn.
The projection of [Financial Street] appeared directly in the eyes of everyone in Edici, and immediately after, a terrifying mutation occurred.
An irresistible force suddenly descended on New York, sweeping through the entire city like a violent storm.
Lightning flashed across the night sky, and with a thunderous roar, a huge crack fell from the sky, tearing the New York skyline apart.
The skyscrapers in Manhattan trembled, and the tall buildings roared in the strong wind, as if they were struggling, trying to resist the coming catastrophe.
The Empire State Building, once an unattainable symbol, was as fragile as glass at this moment. Cracks spread from the top to the bottom of the building. The towering giant was easily torn apart like a toy under the raging storm. High-rise buildings
The glass curtain wall shattered, like thousands of diamonds shining in the dark night, and then fell down, like a meteor shower that lost its life, falling into the abyss with broken memories.
The skyscrapers of the financial streets also collapsed in the face of irresistible forces.
High-rise buildings trembled in the storm, skyscrapers collapsed one after another, and smoke and dust filled the air, as if the end was coming. The long history was buried at this moment, and countless efforts and hard work were annihilated in the torrent of destruction.
The Statue of Liberty, once a symbol of freedom and hope, is not immune at this moment. The torch she holds is swaying in the strong wind, about to leave. The Statue of Liberty looks so fragile in the storm, as if the freedom and hope of the world are disintegrating
.
The streets instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield.
Ruins and rubble covered the streets, and screams resounded throughout the sky. People ran in terror, escaping from the high-rise buildings that were about to collapse. Buildings were dismantled like toy blocks, collapsing downwards like a tide, and the whole city fell into despair.
and the edge of destruction.
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and lightning crackled continuously, like the wrath of the gods surging in New York City.
The heavy rain poured down, drowning all hope and plunging people into endless darkness.
At this moment, a towering giant appeared, more than five hundred meters high.
The giant's face wears a mask. It is made of metal and has a curved shape. It completely covers Loki's head, including his forehead, eyes and chin. There are many complex patterns and decorations on the mask, depicting a strange
Symbols and geometric shapes give people a mysterious and absurd feeling.
There is an elegant black halo behind the giant, and inside the halo, there are overlapping small rings of dark red, red and olive green.
[Loki] stood in the collapsed New York, and then he gave all the citizens of New York a [Supernatural Insurance]. He never made a loss-making business. This money was not only for New York.
The insurance for the citizens of York is also insurance for himself. He binds himself to the lives of many citizens.
"New York will become the trading hub of all worlds. It will break away from the real world and become the connection point between other worlds and the human world!"
[Loki] stretched out his hands, and a small sapling appeared in his hands.
The moment this sapling appeared, it began to grow vigorously, and the four halos behind [Loki] also began to light up.
Inside the giant, Livermore held high the miraculous creation of the Edici Federation—[The Staff of Hermes]!
[Staff of Hermes·Forced Transaction!]
"Great Miracle·Equivalent Exchange!"
On the distant San Miguel Island, the world tree that was engaged in a fierce battle with [Jörmungandr] suddenly began to slump. Then, it began to gradually shrink, and on the other side, the sapling in [Loki]'s hand grew smaller and smaller.
Grow taller.
The sapling took root in the broken earth of New York and continued to grow.
After Lawrenceton Livermore founded the Mayflower Foundation, under the guidance of the Red King, he found two World Trees. At the same time, it reached a non-alliance but alliance partnership with the think tank of [Financial Street].
