Game within game: chess player

After entering September, Ye Fang's nerves became highly tense. He ordered Lu Jiaming and his trading team to pay attention to the fluctuations of the global capital market 24 hours a day, and ordered Nan Yi to instruct the nine-day working group in the United States to monitor current affairs news in the United States 24 hours a day. All radio and television stations in the United States are monitored 24 hours a day to ensure that Ye Fang will know immediately if something happens.

At this time, no matter how stupid Lu Jiaming was, he knew that Ye Fang's focus at this time was on the United States. Although he didn't know what would happen in the United States, in Lu Jiaming's consciousness, he believed that Ye Fang was always right.

For ten days in a row, the entire United States was calm and calm, so much so that Nan Yi even doubted whether the information provided by Ye Fang was wrong or whether the United States had already dealt with it.

"It's been ten days. You should go and take a rest. Lu Jiaming and the others are watching over here. If anything happens, I'll call you." Nan Yi said to Ye Fang.

Ye Fang stared at his bloodshot eyes and nodded, yawned widely, and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest. If you need anything, tell me at a certain time!"

Ye Fang returned to his room at the base and fell into a deep sleep. The situation in his sleep was fragmented. Countless pictures flashed through Ye Fang's mind. Ye Fang wanted to shout but couldn't. Sometimes he even knew he was sleeping. in, but just can’t wake up.

I don't know how much time passed, but Ye Fang suddenly heard someone calling his name in his ear. Ye Fang suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

“快来！”南一说完拉着叶方就朝操盘基地中央大厅走去，此时的时间定格在2001年9月11日晚八点45分，按照美国的时间来计算的话是2001年9月11日上午八点45分左右。

At this time, the huge electronic display screen in the middle of the central hall was playing real-time footage from CNN in the United States. What caught Ye Fang's eyes was one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, USA. The upper half of the building was on fire.

"At around 490:94, an American Airlines passenger plane crashed into One World Trade Center at a speed of approximately 98 miles per hour. The impact location was between the [-]th and [-]th floors in the north of the building. The specific number of casualties No." Nan Yi reported while looking at the electronic display screen next to Ye Fang.

At this time, hundreds of people in the entire hall stood up and looked at the picture on the electronic display in silence. Everyone felt their scalps numb and their hearts were extremely shocked. Many traders even turned their attention to Ye Fang.

The same thought flashed through almost everyone's mind. Is this the moment Ye Fang has been waiting for? How did he predict this? Or is he the mastermind behind it? Everyone was frightened by the thought that ran through their minds.

"Another fight!" Someone suddenly shouted loudly in the hall!

Ye Fangxunsheng looked up and saw another commercial airliner crashing into Tower [-] of the World Trade Center on the TV screen. If there was a lag in the news of the first passenger plane crashing into a building and everyone was watching the replay video, then the second impact was a solid live broadcast.

Ye Fang believed that people like him must be the first people in China and even Asia to see this terrorist attack through synchronized TV signals. Two passenger planes collided twice. At this time, both World Trade Center buildings were on fire, and everyone was shocked. What was shocking was that the two buildings collapsed after half an hour. It was visible to the naked eye that countless people jumped from dozens of floors of buildings.

This was not extreme skydiving, and Ye Fang was certain that these people had no chance of surviving.

There was also news that a third passenger plane hit the Pentagon in the United States directly, causing damage to a corner of the Pentagon. Afterwards, Ye Fang learned that a fourth passenger plane had been hijacked by terrorists, but the passengers on the plane fought with the terrorists. Yes, this United Airlines passenger plane crashed into an open field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. , only about a 20-minute flight from Washington, DC.

"Everyone pays attention to the capital market!" Lu Jiaming shouted, immediately pulling all the traders out of their fugue state.

Ye Fang also let out a long breath and closed his eyes sadly, thinking that what should come will eventually come. At this time, Ye Fang was not in the mood to worry about how many people had died or how much property had been lost due to this terrorist attack in the United States. Instead, he immediately threw himself into the game of the capital market.

Compared with the response speed of the U.S. government, the capital market is undoubtedly the most sensitive. Gold started almost as soon as the first plane hit the World Trade Center. As the plane dropped from the sky and crashed into the iconic American building like a dumpling, gold soared into the sky like a shot of chicken blood, starting from $230 in an instant and heading straight to $300 per ounce.

Subsequently, affected by the 911/[-] incident, U.S. stock investors began panic selling, which then resonated with the plunge in insurance stocks and immediately triggered a plunge in the U.S. stock market. It plummeted by more than [-]% on the opening day, and trillions of dollars evaporated instantly. The plummeting of the Dow Jones and Nasdaq indexes in the United States immediately triggered global stock market turmoil, and all major global stock indexes plummeted.

The violent fluctuations in the capital market made all the traders in the central hall dumbfounded looking at the numbers in their accounts. Lu Jiaming stood on the high platform and shouted loudly, "What are you looking at? Pay attention to the market! Pay attention to the market!"

One trader pointed to the computer screen with an aggrieved look and said, "Mr. Lu, the price is going crazy. No technical operations are needed at all! Just look at the numbers in the account."

Lu Jiaming immediately projected all the account information on the electronic screen and saw that the numbers on hundreds of accounts were constantly changing. Every jump in the numbers represented a sudden increase in Ye Fang's wealth.

"This is much faster than the money printing machine can print out banknotes!" Nan Yi sighed as he looked at the numbers rolling on the screen.

"At this moment, I should be the richest Chinese in the world!" Ye Fang watched as hundreds of millions of profits continued to be generated every second. The powerful money-making function of the capital market was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Although there are no specific statistics yet, Ye Fang initially estimates that his current worth has exceeded the combined foreign exchange reserves of all Asian countries. Hundreds of billions of dollars are just lying in Ye Fang's account, and it is still growing. It can be said that Ye Fang spent the day of September 911 in the rain of money.

The impact of the 911/7.1 incident on the U.S. stock market can be said to be devastating. In just one week, the Dow Jones Index fell 500%, the S&P 4.9 Index fell 5.8%, and the Nasdaq Index fell [-]%.

On September 9, the stock market fell sharply again, with the Dow Jones Index falling 18%.

911发生后的一个月内，道琼斯指数下跌17.4%。整个2001年，标普500指数下跌了11.9%，这是自1974年以来最大的跌幅。

On the day it happened, Ye Fang's little brothers from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Hamdan and Karsi stared at the TV screen for a whole hour. Everyone seemed to realize a problem at the same time. Everyone's first For a moment, he took out his cell phone to call Ye Fang, but found that he couldn't get through at all.

Saudi Crown Prince Salaman, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Zayed, Dubai Crown Prince Hamdan and Sharjah Crown Prince Karsi immediately met secretly. Everyone was almost certain of the fact that Ye Fang most likely knew about 911 in advance. The most ridiculous thing about the incident was that the four boys even played a guaranteed fund game with Ye Fang. The four of them almost certainly relied on Ye Fang's ability to mobilize funds. If he could take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity, he would definitely be in trouble. Make a lot of money, and be as rich as your country.

It's just that now Ye Fang and the others can't be contacted at all. Maybe the answer to this mystery can only be revealed when they see Ye Fang next time. The most important impact of the 911/40 incident on the Middle East was the surge in oil prices. Oil prices soared from less than 60 US dollars a barrel to [-] US dollars, and there is still no intention of stopping. Nowadays, it is generally believed that oil will usher in an unprecedented big round. bull market.

The surge in oil prices was equivalent to a mountain of gold sitting under their butts for the four crown princes. Suddenly Zayed said, "I just remembered that Ye Fang also has an oil field in South Africa."

Four crown princes, you look at me, I look at you, I knew it would be like this, even if I was bankrupt, I would still lend funds to Ye Fang, but now it is too late to regret.

Big names in the entertainment industry such as Yang Mingzhen, who bought gold after listening to Ye Fang's words, and Xiang Huatian and Li Tailong from Xin Ngee Ann were all overjoyed at this time. They didn't expect that they could earn so much by buying gold, but no one had it. Considering that Ye Fang predicted the 911/[-] incident in advance, now Ye Fang is like the god of investment in the eyes of these people.

As soon as the 911/[-] incident broke out, Xue Yuanshan, who was extremely sensitive to politics, immediately called Ye Fang.

"Did you know about this in advance?" Xue Yuanshan's tone was extremely serious.

Ye Fang knew that this incident had a great impact, but he did not want to hide it from Xue Yuanshan, but said directly, "I don't know how the incident happened. I just deduced it based on clues."

Xue Yuanshan fell into silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long time he said, "The impact of this matter on the country is still being evaluated by senior officials. Return the funds you borrowed as soon as possible to avoid causing misunderstandings in other countries. This matter will have a huge impact on the entire world." , a lot of geopolitics will change because of this. The United States is very likely to use the issue to launch a war, and you will not mobilize such a large amount of funds without leaving a trace, just settle this matter."

"I have reduced all the funds to zero, and it is a matter of agreement that I want to find out." Ye Fang replied.

"Never underestimate your opponent!" Xue Yuanshan said.

"Yes, I know." Ye Fang replied.

"The letter I gave you... you can consider it." Xue Yuanshan said slowly.

Ye Fang took a deep breath and said, "I know. How is the situation over there?"

Xue Yuanshan pretended to smile casually and said, "I should be able to rest for a while. You don't need to worry about the Ye family, I will take care of it."

"What else can I do?" Ye Fang asked.

"The sea is as wide as the fish can leap, and the sky is as high as the birds can fly. Do whatever you want. Just return the original amount of Jiutian's funds. As for the profits, you can keep them for use. You will have many places to use your money in the future." Xue Yuanshan said.

"Are you so generous?!" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"Maybe the money will be more useful to you. This is the only thing I can do for you now." Xue Yuanshan said.

"Uncle Shan..." Ye Fang didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You, pay attention to your safety!" After saying this, Xue Yuanshan hung up the phone.

Ye Fang was stunned for a moment as he looked at the phone in his hand. Xue Yuanshan's rambling words were advice or a reminder. Ye Fang feels that since the 911/[-] incident, not only subtle changes have occurred internationally, but also domestically. An inexplicable sense of tension has enveloped Ye Fang's heart.

Ye Fang called Lu Jiaming and Nan Yi over. Ye Fang said to Lu Jiaming, "A week later, except for Japan, which will close all the short-selling funds in other countries, the price at which we enter gold and oil will be the bottom position. In the foreseeable future, gold and Oil prices will continue to rise, so you can continue to hold on!”

"Mr. Ye, according to this trend, the stock indexes of various countries will continue to fall for at least another month. Is it too early for us to exit?" Lu Jiaming asked.

"Technically speaking, it is true that the bottom has not yet been reached, but if we exclude technology, we have already made the fattest part of the entire profit period. If we use a fish to describe this market, it means that we have already eaten the fish head. And the fish body, leave the remaining fish tail to others. We have achieved our goal!" Ye Fang said.

Then Ye Fang said to Nan Yi, "Jiutian's funds will be returned immediately."

Nan nodded and said, "I was told by the superiors."

"Okay." Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction and said to Lu Jiaming, "Let Meng Fei and Zhuo Hao come over."

Soon Lu Jiaming called Meng Fei and Zhuo Hao over. Ye Fangchong said to them, "I am very satisfied with your performance this time. Jiaming will distribute the bonus to the two brothers and them." team members.”

"Yes, Mr. Ye!" Lu Jiaming agreed.

At this time, Meng Fei and Zhuo Yang looked at Ye Fang as if they were looking at a celebrity idol. The look of admiration in their eyes was not concealed at all. This incident was not only Ye Fang, but also the greatest incident in their lives. Trading, there is no one. The two of them have already seen that Ye Fang is definitely not an ordinary bookmaker, but a being that is more powerful than an institution. The two of them know very well how terrifying the team's current capital accumulation is. It is no longer enough to describe how rich Ye Fang is. .

"I know you and your team have many questions about this incident. No matter what questions you have, don't ask or tell anyone. All of your lives are closely linked to this incident. Once it is leaked, no need to If I silence you, there will be others who will not let you live, do you understand?"

Ye Fang's tone seemed calm, but his words were full of warning, making Meng Fei and Zhuo Hao's backs wet.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we won't reveal a word even to death!" the two said with great determination.
