Chapter 684 Pingshan Haiyi Once upon a time, it was the land of the Indians, Four hundred years ago, it was a wall to the Dutch, Two hundred years ago, it was a financial seed under the sycamore tree, A hundred years ago, it created the rise of the United States, Later, it became a financial net that spread to the world.
This web is strong and fragile, light and dark, This net can both accelerate and suffocate the economy.
It's Wall Street.
In the southern part of Manhattan in New York City, which stretches from Broadway to the East River, there is a street that is only a third of a mile long and only 11 meters wide, and its name is called Wall Street.
It can be a sleepless golden lighthouse, a stage for indulgent revelry, or a desolate and dilapidated super graveyard strewn with corpses.
September 2008.
Gray from Bear Stearns didn't want to go to work today, but when he barely came over, he found that the office coffee machine was broken, so he smashed it.
Oddly enough, the whole office, no one thought there was anything wrong with this.
Merrill Lynch's Bogdan threw a ball of reports out the window Hit Lehman Bank employee Edward on the head.
At that time, Gray was holding a cardboard box, and while preparing to go home, he wondered whether to continue to pay the mortgage on that villa in Florida.
Maybe he should think about what he will get back after losing his job.
Morgan Stanley's executive meeting lasted from 3 a.m. to the next afternoon, and no one was allowed to leave.
Wall Street, which is full of grief, has finally revealed its true face.
This was originally what Zhou Yuandai was looking forward to However, in the end, things slowly went beyond everyone's control and imagination.
Including the U.S. government, unless it doesn't go too far.
Zhou Yuandai had bet on both sides of this huge gamble earlier, because of the relationship between odds and leverage, she couldn't find any possibility of losing, not to mention that she also won, and she bet on the financial crisis that swept the United States.
Is it possible to win a gamble and the player wins but has no money Probably, the answer is that only one bookmaker is bankrupt and no one pays.
After the CDO in her hand turned into a pile of waste paper first, Zhou Yuandai suddenly discovered that her real bet, CDS, turned out to be the same fate.
It's like you buy insurance, pay a large premium, and when you get the payout, the insurance company goes out of business.
This is not exactly the same as in previous lives.
In the previous life, the opportunity to shoot CDS existed until the last moment, and there were still people who succeeded in taking chestnuts in the fire, and in this life, almost "no one survived".
In previous lives, more than 160 banks failed before and after the financial crisis in the United States.
Only Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley survived the five largest investment banks on Wall Street, and both survived when the Federal Reserve intervened directly and transformed into traditional commercial banks.
In the process.
Bear Stearns was acquired by JPMorgan Chase at the time of bankruptcy; Merrill Lynch, which manages assets of more than one trillion yuan, sold itself to Bank of America for about $44 billion; Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, went bankrupt outright.
Is it tragic enough?
The problem is that in this life, it is even more tragic.
In this life, because of higher debt, JPMorgan Chase refused to buy Bear Stearns, and Bear Stearns went bankrupt directly.
Merrill Lynch was heavily indebted, completely lost its acquisition value, and went bankrupt directly.
Lehman Brothers, who were going to die, died as they were, not moving at all.
And Morgan Stanley, who originally survived, seems to be dead this time.
Who got the situation to this point?
Who threw oil drums into the scene of the explosion?
The answer is Zhou Yuandai herself.
As she said to Xu Tingsheng before, after more than ten years of rebirth, the scale of her assets far exceeded her imagination, and it was precisely because of this that her thorough intervention and full bet on it expanded the crisis.
She was not only the last straw that crushed the camel, but also the boulder that smashed the camel's corpse to pieces.
A 22-storey high-rise building with a glass façade and a little lighting.
On the large-screen TV hanging on the wall on the other side, the blonde beauty host is relaying the final decision of the US government: the Federal Reserve is going all out to rescue Goldman Sachs, wishing Morgan Stanley good luck, and at the same time stating that Conquest will take this opportunity to completely rebuild the financial order of the United States.
Zhou Yuandai took her eyes off the wall-mounted TV and turned to Xu Tingsheng, who was sitting opposite her.
"I don't even have a CDS from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, right," she asked.
"Yes."
Xu Tingsheng replied.
"So" Zhou Yuandai knew that everything was designed by Xu Tingsheng.
"Both paths, both dead ends.
The one I took in order to induce you is a dead end, and I leave it to myself, waiting for you to find the back road, which is also a dead end, no matter which one, as long as you fully step in, there will be no return.

Xu Tingsheng looked at her and said.
His situation at the moment looks no different from that of more than a year, just sitting there alone, but he has actually reversed everything.
"So, Zhang Xingke's betrayal, your desperate suicide play, is the last link that induces me to bet on it all" "So to speak.
Until then, no matter how I behave, no matter what I say, you will not be convinced, and it is impossible to bet on the nature of human beings, and you will always be more willing to believe in your own discovery than others, and the more tortuous and difficult the process of this discovery, the more you almost miss, and the more convinced you are in the end. ” "What's more, what I gave you that time was the most murderous lie in the world, which is the truth."
After Xu Tingsheng finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, looked out of the glass wall, and stopped talking.
Zhou Yuandai turned her head like this.
A figure suddenly jumped from the roof of the building opposite.
Whether it was Xu Tingsheng or Zhou Yuandai present, they didn't know who this person was, and they didn't care.
In these days and for some time afterward, in all corners of the world, the same thing will happen countless times in peacetime, and the bankers will kill the most, and it will be a complete massacre.
In fact, only the very few jumped off the building, because economic turmoil, hunger and disease would have taken more lives.
At the same time, Lu Zhixin, who was far away in Yanzhou, finally put it down helplessly and cried silently after yelling at her mobile phone countless times.
Just now, after making the last phone call, Lu Zhixin lost her father after losing her mother before she was ten years old.
Lu Pingyuan is dead.
He had just jumped off the roof of the building opposite Xu Tingsheng and Zhou Yuandai.
These two people, one is the cause of his madness, and the other is the result, to some extent, it was Xu Tingsheng who indirectly killed Lu Pingyuan, because at the beginning, he had the opportunity to persuade him not to enter the field.
But when Lu Zhixin asked him, because of the relationship between Lu Pingyuan and Zhou Yuandai, he was afraid that the plan would be exposed, so Xu Tingsheng chose to shut up.
Lu Zhixin will understand one day, and she may not be able to complain about Xu Tingsheng, but she is also destined to be unable to love anymore.
Her road is like a road to becoming a king, she has lost love, seen dry bones, and then is alone and unstoppable.
I was very depressed and had a terrible ability to cope with stress.
If Zhang Xingke's betrayal and Xu Tingsheng's suicide were not written on purpose in the article at that time, and at the end of the following chapters, there would be no explanation of the taste and impact of these chapters of "Pingshan Hai".
How many will there be, wow, so it was.
It's a pity that I didn't carry it
