Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella
Chapter 51 Boss, Greece is bankrupt!
After visiting Duffel, William returned to Halfa City under the protection of Hank.
Not long after he got home to rest, he got some exciting news.
That is, the stock market of Lehman Brothers began to plummet in a few days, from the original highest trading price of 120, all the way to 50.
The reason is that some people did something similar to William a year ago.
Short selling and selling.
High-end investors seem to have sensed the crisis, selling their holdings at the peak, or borrowing shares from securities companies to sell.
This move made investors panic, and they followed suit and sold.
Such actions appear on the heads of other listed companies like dominoes, which directly caused the turmoil in the stock market.
In addition, the news has also begun to report that a large number of subprime mortgages have emerged due to the flood of credit, which has caused investment banks to fail to recover their loans.
All kinds of things, so that the United States, which is extremely dependent on borrowing, began to fall into turmoil.
People at this time recall William.
The Umbrella founder seemed to know in advance that these things would happen.
Immediately began to analyze William's past operations.
Such as becoming a major shareholder of Apple, Microsoft, various arms companies and so on.
There must be some deep reason for investors to conclude that William would do this.
Immediately after, investors began to follow suit, or continued to sell the shares of lending banks, or to buy shares of companies such as Apple and Microsoft.
In just one week, the market value of the company in which William holds a stake has doubled.
And the mentally retarded people on Wall Street are actually divided into two groups.
A wave fell into Umbrella's arms in an instant, saying that William's previous behavior was to remind everyone.
A prophet and a pioneer.
As for the group of people who insist on being black, they can only spray why William didn't say it directly, so that investors can be mentally prepared.
When William, who was working at home, was dumbfounded when he saw the report that complained about him.
When he sold Lehman Brothers stock a year ago, he was not secretive, and he didn't have to explain anything to the general public.
Moreover, even if he does issue a statement to remind him that there will be a crisis next year, the bubble economy will soon be ready to deal with.
No one would believe that.
In the usual style of the old beauty, they will ridicule a wave of William first, and then say:
We in America are capable of resisting any crisis! We have the most complete system!
and many more.
But it's useless to say anything now, William has made a lot of money.
The 30 billion that William got from selling Lehman Brothers has remained in his account so far.
In addition, there are about 10 billion remaining system funds, and the update and reset that will be ushered in soon.
After subtracting the amount necessary to maintain the fleet and the company's normal operations, William would have $60 billion in available capital.
Everything is done for this moment.
Following the path of the original world...
The US government adhered to the policy of non-intervention in the stock market, and the US think tank misestimated the 'too big to fail' of investment banks such as Lehman Brothers, which directly led to the complete collapse in 2008.
In the end, we had to use the 700 billion yuan from the national treasury to save the market.
This is the original financial crisis course.
The crisis in William's existing world is similar but different from the original world. For example, the stock price of Lehman Brothers plummeted several months in advance.
But that didn't matter.
He wants to use the $60 billion to 'wash the water' first.
Didn't the U.S. government delay the bailout for a year?
Then William will help everyone to tide over the difficulties one year in advance, and stabilize the stock price of the stock market and the restless hearts of investors.
After all, he was flattered by shareholders as a 'prophet' and had a strong influence.
So on September 1, 2007.
William speaks on Spring Garden Rd in Hafa.
Said Umbrella will selflessly help the volatile stock market, and hopes to cooperate with major companies to save themselves.
For William's speech, the attitude of the vast majority of capitalists is to sneer.
It's too late to be outside.
Save the city with your Umbrella? Die this heart.
Moreover, these people think that William, who is also a capitalist, is definitely pretending to trick the masses.
William dares to be really selfless, then the capitalists will live broadcast and eat shit.
the fact is…
On September 2, the day after William delivered his speech, a full $50 billion was invested in the stock market.
Although the effect is not very obvious, it has greatly inspired the restless hearts of investors, and even believes that Umbrella is more reliable than the government.
Seeing this, capitalists don't really eat shit.
Instead, due to various public pressures and fears that his company would plummet due to bad reviews, he had to be pulled into the water by William to save the market together.
This is exactly what William had hoped for.
He is not afraid of running out of money, and he still fills it up in a few months.
But other companies that have the ability to compete with Umbrella do not have the so-called system, and the liquidity is really gone when it is invested in the stock market.
When global companies are in a quagmire, Umbrella will take the opportunity to annex them.
At that time, those giants have no power to resist.
William must use force and economic means to completely control the entire world, so as to condense the technology and power of all mankind to help him contain those abnormal phenomena.

…
Date: October 11, 2007.
Location: The capital of Greece, Athens.
William, who combed his back and wore a delicate suit, was standing on the podium of a venue somewhere.
On both sides of the podium are a group of senior officials of the Greek government, including their president, Mr. Carolos Papoulias.
At the front of the podium were Hank and the Alphas who were protecting William's safety, and further ahead were a group of reporters who raised their hands to ask questions.
William looked around with a smile on his face, and finally set his eyes on a female reporter who looked more pleasing to the eye.
He waved his hand to the other party in a noble manner, and said, Miss, talk about your problem.
The female reporter also stood up politely, looked at the draft in her hand and asked:
Hello, Mr Russell.
I wonder why you are now Canadian and your ancestors are British nobles, why did you help us declare bankruptcy in the first place?
Shouldn't you help your country first, or the birthplace of your ancestors?
thanks.
Haha. William chuckled and explained in a low voice:
The stock market in my home country is very stable and the people believe in the government and Umbrella, so there is no problem getting through this crisis.
In the UK, there are other families to help support, but as long as they ask for help, I will be obliged to help.
As for Greece, known as the cradle of Western civilization, it is a country I have longed for for a long time.
Of course, you are also the only country to declare bankruptcy.
As Umbrella, who regards customers as the most valuable asset, as long as there is spare capacity, he will help selflessly.
So, here I am.
