how i bought the whole world

I put Chris' head on my shoulder, "It's okay Chris, I'm here, don't worry. Everything will be fine."

Many people around were crying bitterly.

Chris whimpered twice, looked up again, his eyes were red, "We have to call Evelyn."

"Don't call her yet. I don't know what's going on now. Evelyn will collapse." Looking at the mess around me, I felt a chill in my heart.From time to time, firefighters came in and out of the closed cordon, and other passers-by who were injured by glass shards were carried out. All the scenes indicated that the development was not optimistic. "Let's contact Tiffany's office first, ask what time Tiffany's meeting will start, and then go to the emergency center to wait for news."

Chris wiped his face, went to the side to make a phone call, and came back after asking Tiffany's secretary, "Tiffany has a meeting at 9:[-]."

"Then," I said, "Tiffany may not be in the building. He never enters the conference room early and usually walks in the door on time, so he's probably already evacuated with the team by now."

I took Chris to the emergency center, and along the way were family members who heard the news. Some of them were crying, and some were as lucky as us.However, more than ten minutes later, the crowd walking in front suddenly let out a horrified scream. Following the scream, we looked up, only to see the World Trade Center Building [-] collapsed, and a large amount of dust spread to the block, blocking people. In a trance, only the soaring flames and the falling building debris can be seen.

Chris's face paled immediately.

"Calm down." I squeezed his hand tightly. "Tiffany's in another building."

In fact, my inner panic is no less than other people's, but I try to keep myself calm.Because I know that if even I lose my cool, then Chris will probably be even more confused.In the end, we came to the temporary medical center with the flow of people. There were a large number of frightened people waiting there. They needed help. Many people would spontaneously come forward to help these people while waiting for news from their relatives.

Chris and I also started helping out.I held a little girl in my arms, fed her water, and put a blanket over her body. She couldn't find her mother and kept crying. I couldn't do anything except kiss her forehead comfortingly. It was the first time I realized that I was so small in front of life and death, and I hated my own powerlessness!

The little girl fell into a coma after crying. After I handed her over to the nurse, I went to take care of another old man. His shoulder was injured and he needed someone to stop the bleeding urgently. There were many wounded behind him. My suit was gone Totally wrinkled and covered in dirt and blood, but I don't care, and neither does anyone.

Then came another sad news.The second building of the Petronas Twin Towers could not withstand the fire and collapsed.

After hearing the news, Chris collapsed completely. He suddenly squatted down and cried, and the emergency medical kit was thrown aside.Like him, many people wailed and wailed.

I felt dizzy for a while, pulled a passing nurse, and I couldn't wait to ask, "Are all the evacuees here?"

She gave me a sympathetic look, "You can go to West Street to have a look, and some people will be sent there."

The nurse's words gave me a glimmer of hope. I pulled Chris up and took him to the medical van on West Street again. When we called the registrar of the name, he showed us the rescue list, and there was a name registered on it: Tiffany.Jonathan.

"Thank goodness!" Chris and I hugged each other.

"Where is this Mr. Jonathan now?" Chris asked impatiently.

The rescuers said, "All the injured have been sent to the New York University Medical Center, where they will receive further medical examinations, but sir, please evacuate as soon as possible, the environment here is very bad for your health."

I completely relaxed, and then I felt my legs go limp and my eyes were dizzy, and I didn't have any strength in my body. Fortunately, there is also a car arranged for me to go to the medical center, American Medical, so we don't need to walk to the next block to take a taxi, but on the way, Chris Still couldn't help crying again.

"I'm really very happy." He said to me, holding back tears. He looked nothing like the steady and calm barrister I remembered.

But I silently patted him on the shoulder.Now you can report the news to Evelyn.I think so.

……

"I just broke a leg! Don't treat me like a baby!"

Two hours later, we saw Tiffany in the medical center. He was angrily refusing the nurse to help him go to the toilet on the hospital bed. Tiffany looked ruddy and energetic, and he didn't look like he was in a catastrophe , but Chris and Evelyn didn't mind his bad temper, they surrounded him contentedly, and everyone laughed silly.

"I called you ten times." I complained. "You made me watch out, I lost my car."

Tiffany shrugged, "My phone was lost when I was running away, maybe your phone is bouncing too much."

"Anyway, you have to accompany me with a car." I put the bouquet I just bought in front of him and joked, "I don't know if it will be back, I haven't bought it for three months."

After confirming Tiffany's ward number, we simply sorted out our appearance before going to the hospital to visit him. Chris's eyes were so red that he had to use a towel for hot compresses. We didn't want Tiffany to worry about us. , this day is already thrilling enough, there is really no need for us to make it more sad.

As much as we tried to keep things light, it was a sleepless night for everyone.As time went by, more and more injured people were found to be admitted to the hospital for treatment, the hospital beds were packed to the brim, some of them were sent to the operating room, and some of them were not rescued. Seeing this, Tiffany and the others couldn't help but become Very silent, even I was infected by this depressing atmosphere.

Before leaving, Tiffany left me to talk alone.

"Field, what is Wall Street like now?"

I'm not surprised he cares about the state of Wall Street, this is Tiffany, the mind is always on work.I answered him, "I just spoke to Brandon, the situation at William Field Group is very good, the employees are fine, and now I have arranged for them to go back and not work, but I am not sure about other places. Part of the area was severely damaged."

Tiffany pondered for a while, "Field, you have to be careful, the U.S. stock market may be about to drop sharply."

I was taken aback: "What? Why do you say that?"

"This terrorist attack took place on Wall Street, the financial hub of the United States. What do you think stockholders would do if they knew about it? They would sell their stocks on a large scale because of fear of this attack. Now it is people's support that supports our economic development. Investment needs and consumer needs, and those needs are the most easily defeated by fear, at the slightest sign, they will hide like rabbits. I have a hunch you will see the Dow in the next week, Nurse The DAQ and S&P are down a lot, so Field, I’m not alarmist, you have to prepare early.”

I frowned, will things really go as Tiffany expected?If he's right, it's a very serious problem. "I see, sir."

Tiffany closed his eyes wearily, "This disaster has dealt a heavy blow to Wall Street. I heard about the collapse of the Twin Towers when I was in the hospital. There are seven or eight banks with their headquarters there. , and several investment companies and credit institutions. If these companies face difficulties, most of the American economy will be paralyzed, but their reconstruction is not easy. Now my heart is full of ominous omens. I think Wall Street..." He is A long sigh.

"Don't think too much, what you need now is rest." I told him to lie down and rest. "You have already analyzed the current prospects for me. As your student, I will remain vigilant no matter how stupid I am. Please leave everything to me. My company will be fine, and your money will not shrink .”

I received news that night that the U.S. stock market has been closed and its reopening is scheduled for next Monday.This made me immediately think of what Tiffany said: the stock market is about to shrink sharply.As a last resort, I urgently recruited Brandon, Chris, and Yitzhak, and asked them to develop a trading system within this week, so that all stock orders in the company would be submitted the moment the stock market opened.

"I will keep shorting the stocks in my hands. Yitzhak, I will leave this matter to you. Remember, you are responsible for it yourself. Don't let anyone know the news."

"Understood. Boss." Yitzhak was the one who introduced him to the company at his most difficult moment. Since the establishment of the laboratory, he has always trusted me. At this moment, I don't need to explain anything to him at all, he will Take my words as sacred.

Then I said to Chris and Brandon, "Gentlemen, I have a very important announcement to make, so please bear with me until I finish speaking. As you all know, today's terrorist attacks have caused The collapse of the two buildings in the trade center, the direct paralysis of several banks, investment companies, and insurance cannot be used. You may think that such paralysis will not take long to recover, because the market’s ability to adjust is very strong, and the government’s It's also impossible to just sit back and watch the direction of the economy. But I don't think this is the end, and the current situation is that Americans are likely to be unwilling to go to Wall Street again because of fear of attacks, and they no longer have the willingness to invest and manage money. This is a very Serious problem, even though Manhattan is the main workplace for major companies, especially financial companies, once people decide not to patronize, our business will be more or less existentially affected... I think for the time being, Wall Street is already It's not the right place for us to work."

"Then, it's time for us to think about moving, too. What do you think of Boston, guys?"
