Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 870: Tragic Situation [First Update]

Lu Shaohua did not leave the headquarters and stayed inside the whole time. Even for lunch, he asked someone to go out and get fast food. It was not that Lu Shaohua and his friends did not want to go out, but they had no intention of going out. They could not even finish their meal after taking a few bites.

There are many reasons for not being able to eat. One of them is that I am too nervous. As for why I am nervous, there is no need to explain much. It turns out that the target this time is the United States, a powerful state machine. Although we are very confident of defeating them, it is a state machine after all. It is normal to be nervous when encountering such an opponent.

As for the second one! The paradox is that the second one is excitement, which is the opposite of nervousness. And the reason is precisely because the target is the powerful state machine of the United States, which makes Lu Shaohua and others excited.

It is undeniable that defeating such an opponent is something to be proud of. There is no need to say more about Lu Shaohua, he is the owner of Phoenix Group. Once the final victory belongs to his side, history will record such a stroke - Phoenix Group defeated the United States.

Just imagine, if such a thing is recorded, Lu Shaohua, the owner of Phoenix Group, will definitely go down in history. Who doesn't want to leave some traces in history? Throughout ancient China to the present, some people have done good deeds and have been recorded in history, while others have done evil and have been recorded in history. In any case, they have been recorded in history, which is something to be proud of.

Apart from being a reborn person, Lu Shaohua is no different from an ordinary person. He certainly hopes that he can be recorded in history, and this operation will be the battle that determines whether it will be recorded in history. Naturally, Lu Shaohua cannot treat it with a normal mind.

As for Liu Mingzhang and his team, there is no need to say more. First of all, the start-up funds provided to him this time reached a historic 450 billion US dollars, which has never been seen before. In addition, the opponent is very strong.

Defeating a powerful opponent is what Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues wish for. In the past, they were complacent about defeating Soros. But now they are facing the entire United States, which has countless talents and countless financial groups supporting it. It can be said that it is not something that Soros can compare to.

If, if they can defeat such an opponent, it is an honor, it is their pride, and the sense of accomplishment needs no further explanation, it is indescribable in words. This is also the reason why Liu Mingzhang and the others are excited.

But then again, precisely because the United States is so powerful and has countless financial groups supporting it, it is obviously not easy to defeat such an opponent. Therefore, Liu Mingzhang and others are a little nervous.

However, this tension was soon replaced by motivation. Yes, motivation. After dinner, when the U.S. stock market opened, Liu Mingzhang and the others' tension disappeared. Their bodies were filled with energy and they burst out with unprecedented motivation.

It has begun, the action has begun, the action against the US financial markets has begun.

At Lu Shaohua's command, the entire operation began. A large amount of funds poured into the U.S. financial market through the bank accounts. All of a sudden, the stock indexes of major U.S. securities exchanges showed large-scale buying and selling. The spectacular scene was beyond words.

A large amount of money was invested in the stock market to buy short, and it was soon known to those who had ulterior motives. When thinking about what Lu Shaohua had said through the media two days ago, it was not difficult to guess that it was an attack from Phoenix Group.

Small shareholders, big customers, financial speculators, and financial tycoons all received the news without exception. American officials also received the news at the same time, and their reactions varied.

Small investors are not affected as their investment is relatively small and if they lose, they lose. Many choose to wait and see. Of course, there are also some worried investors who immediately withdraw from the stock market and choose to stand aside and watch the show. There are also some bold people who follow the trend and buy on the decline, which seems to be a bit like cooperating with Liu Mingzhang and others in the attack.

The reactions of big customers were more intense. Some chose to withdraw all their money, some sold some and kept some, and others just bravely went all out, some bought on the dips and some on the rises.

Financial speculators and financial tycoons behaved in a simple manner. Those who were close to the US government tried their best to pull up the market index to maintain the points. However, those who were purely for profit all changed their direction when they saw the menacing Phoenix Group coming, and followed the Phoenix Group in speculating and falling.

The biggest reaction came from the US government. They were shocked. They originally thought that Lu Shaohua was just talking and didn't dare to confront the US government head-on. But now it seems that they were too arrogant. Lu Shaohua not only did what he said, but also came with huge amounts of money.

All of a sudden, the U.S. financial regulatory agencies were in chaos, no longer as leisurely as before.

Report it, report it quickly, layer by layer, all the way to the President's Office in the White House.

There is no doubt that the President of the United States was also shocked. He, like the officials of the Financial Administration, thought that Lu Shaohua was just joking and did not dare to take action against the United States. However, the facts slapped him hard in the face. Lu Shaohua came with a large amount of funds.

The situation was chaotic, and the president's office was also in chaos. Many officials were called together to discuss the matter.

But the President of the United States forgot that the 9/11 incident happened only a few days ago and all the officials were already busy. Now that such a thing has occurred, it is not easy to call them together to discuss the matter.

The officials who could have been summoned within an hour were delayed to three hours. After further discussion, four hours had already passed. By this time, the stock market had already closed in the morning, so they could only wait for the stock market to open in the afternoon.

……

The night in Hong Kong is very lively, this is the atmosphere of an international metropolis. But in this bustling metropolis, in an inconspicuous villa, there is silence and only the sound of gentle breathing can be heard.

a long time……

"Tell me about the situation?" Lu Shaohua glanced at everyone and spoke lightly.

Although Lu Shaohua had been staring at the big screen on the wall, he could only see the general situation and did not know the detailed data. If he wanted to know the detailed data, he could ask Liu Mingzhang and others.

"Let me talk first." Liu Mingzhang was the first to come forward and said, "I'm in charge of New York. New York is the financial center of the United States and the city that suffered the most from the 9/11 incident. It turned out that our 500 billion US dollars was at work, causing the New York stock market to fall a lot. Now that we are concentrating our firepower on another area, the decline is even greater."

After finishing speaking, Liu Mingzhang paused, as if to give Lu Shaohua some time to accept it. When the latter nodded to signal him to continue, Liu Mingzhang continued, "The index showing the biggest drop in the New York stock market is the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This index also experienced a sharp drop on Black Monday in 1987. Now that we have attacked it, coupled with the impact of the 9/11 incident, the drop has been even greater. From the morning to the close, the drop exceeded 800 points, setting a new record."

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua nodded, but did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he fell into deep thought. In his memory, when the 9/11 incident occurred, the highest closing point of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York was 9605 points, and the lowest point was 8375 points, a drop of more than points.

Now, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen by more than 800 points in just one morning. A comparison of the two sets of data will show the effect of the attack.

Lu Shaohua was very satisfied with this number. Well, he couldn't be more satisfied. So, Lu Shaohua spoke up. "Very good. Keep it up. They are not far from collapse."

Lu Shaohua did not comfort Liu Mingzhang and the others, nor did he make a blind judgment. Everything he said was true. After all, the index fell by more than 800 points in the morning. If it fell another or points in the afternoon, it would have fallen by thousands of points in one day. This would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to an index.

What's more, in just one afternoon, with the abilities of Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues and the huge financial resources provided by Lu Shaohua, would the Dow Jones Industrial Average only fall by 100 or 200 points?

The U.S. government will come out to rescue the market, that is certain, but judging from the current situation, the U.S. government can only slow down the decline, because the U.S. government cannot mobilize hundreds of billions of dollars in funds at once.

Without hundreds of billions of dollars in funds to rescue the market, coupled with the aftermath of the 9/11 incident, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy and an absolute impossibility to pull back the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Therefore, based on actual estimates, Lu Shaohua is certain that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will definitely fall by more than 400 points from the opening to the closing of the afternoon session.

The first day of the attack destroyed the New York Dow Jones Industrial Index by 1200 points. This was the goal predicted by Lu Shaohua and it was also a good indicator. If it was as Lu Shaohua predicted, then the U.S. financial market would really be close to collapse. Even if it would fall slowly in the next few days, the disaster had already taken place and was beyond human control, wasn't it?

Spread, what Lu Shaohua wanted was to spread, let the disaster spread. He would launch attacks from time to time, and the US government would act as a firefighter, continuously putting out the fire. When it reached a certain extent, Lu Shaohua would retreat slowly, and by then, the outcome of the battle would be decided.

Whether we win or lose will depend on the next few days.

This is what Lu Shaohua thought in his mind, so he didn't want to listen to the situation of other indexes anymore. He waved his hand and stopped talking about the stock market issues. Instead, he asked someone to buy some midnight snacks.

Due to the time difference, Liu Mingzhang and his team had to stay in the headquarters until the early morning, so having a midnight snack was inevitable. Lu Shaohua didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so he chose to have a midnight snack with Liu Mingzhang and his team in the headquarters, waiting for the stock market to open in the afternoon US time.

Lu Shaohua just wanted to see what the Dow Jones Industrial Average would do after it opened in the afternoon. What would be the final decline? Would it fall another 400 points in the afternoon as he guessed?
