They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

Chapter 1181: Finally unable to pretend anymore, Conference Room No. where Yao Yuan was located had been transformed into a wartime command post.

The so-called wartime naturally refers to the current global financial crisis, which is a financial war affecting the entire world.

The enormous losses it caused were no less than any large-scale global war, and lasted longer.

In the next ten to twenty years, the world economy will not be able to completely get rid of the huge impact of this global financial crisis.

Of course, except China.

More importantly, this financial crisis will rapidly change the political and economic landscape of the entire world until it ultimately overturns the old global order.

At this moment, this large conference room was filled with more than fifty investment advisory team members, each of whom was an experienced financial elite.

In front of each of them, there are five or six computer screens showing the latest financial market trends in Europe and the United States.

It includes almost all financial categories such as stock markets, foreign exchange markets, futures markets, gold markets, bond markets, etc. of various countries!

There are three or four intercom phones on the desk in front of each investment advisory elite.

The other end of these landlines are connected to numerous financial investment companies under Jiuye Investment's Hong Kong headquarters, as well as to investment teams that are sharpening their knives.

Every trading instruction Yao Yuan places here will be conveyed to every investment team at the first opportunity.

After receiving the instructions, many investment teams will take action quickly and frantically make money from the international financial market.

In addition to the fifty members of the investment advisory team, a dozen beautiful secretaries from the secretariat are also in this conference room and are directly led by Li Shan.

They provide services exclusively for Yao Yuan, helping him collect various information, keeping in touch with many senior executives including Mr. Zhou, and conveying Yao Yuan's instructions.

He is also responsible for delivering messages within the large conference room and providing logistical support, etc.

After some arrangements, this large conference room now looks like a wartime command post.

The same scene was also happening simultaneously in the luxurious villa where the decision-makers of the secret action team were located, and in state-owned financial institutions such as China Investment Corporation and Central Huijin Investment in Beijing.

The content is similar, just the scale is different.

Looking at Yao Yuan again, he was checking the situation of European and American stock markets.

At this time, the U.S. stock market has opened. Although it opened underwater, the decline was not large and the market situation looked relatively stable.

The situation in European stock markets is similar, showing no signs of change.

But this is just a surface phenomenon. If you are a professional in the financial industry, as long as you conduct in-depth research, you will feel the turbulent waves beneath the calm surface.

Just like the situation in major Asian stock markets during the day, financial institutions in Europe and the United States are also constantly singing high-sounding slogans and working hard to maintain the stability of the financial markets.

However, the smart funds and investors in the market are voting with their feet and are constantly fleeing.

Some of them even turned from long to short and started shorting the international financial market, preparing to make a fortune.

As a result, a strange balance emerged in the European and American financial markets.

In the eyes of the top professionals, this balance makes everyone shudder.

Looking at the market trends on the computer screen, Zhou Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"The financial authorities in Europe and the United States are really trying too hard to create this kind of illusion at this time."

Yao Yuan turned his head and looked at him, jokingly saying:

"It is obvious that European countries still have illusions about Wall Street and are trying their best to hold on today to see what rescue measures Wall Street will take."

"Those extremely greedy guys on Wall Street are probably thinking about how to default on their debts to European countries, and drag down European countries, and even the whole world, with them."

"In this case, the real fun will only unfold after the European stock market closes. Lehman Brothers will need some time to prepare for its application for bankruptcy protection from the court, which is expected to be after midnight."

"For us, this situation couldn't be better. Please notify all investment teams responsible for the European stock market to continue to increase their short positions slightly. When the European stock market closes, they must increase their positions to 80%."

"After the market opens tomorrow afternoon, it will be our time to reap the profits from European financial markets. The situation of the U.S. stock market is different. Once Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy protection from the court, we can reap the profits."

"According to my calculations, we still have two to three hours left. Don't be idle. Continue to short the U.S. financial market. But be careful not to alert Wall Street..."

Next, he gave a few more instructions.

After the words fell, Zhou Chaoyang immediately nodded and responded:

"Understood, Mr. Yao, I will pass the order on right away."

Having said that, he took action.

As the order was passed down, the fifty investment consultants in the conference room responded immediately.

They all picked up the phones in front of them and passed Yao Yuan's instructions to each investment team.

After receiving the instructions, the investment teams immediately got busy.

All of these movements were performed very smoothly and efficiently, as smooth as silk.

While they were busy, Li Shan suddenly came up and reported in a low voice:

"News came from the New York branch that about ten minutes ago, Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner and others went to the New York Stock Exchange headquarters building."

"In front of the building, Paulson accepted a brief interview with reporters and publicly declared that there would be no financial crisis. The U.S. Treasury Department would work with the Federal Reserve to solve the problem. All investors should rest assured!"

"After Paulson and his team entered the New York Stock Exchange building, the news spread immediately and made headlines in major financial media, attracting a lot of attention."

Listening to her introduction, Yao Yuan's face was full of disdain.

He looked at the trend charts of European and American financial markets, sneered and shook his head.

"Paulson is lying with his eyes open, trying to cover up his mistake. Don't believe a single word he says!"

"Or you could say that his words are just smokescreens to confuse the outside world and his allies, and buy some time."

"The performance of European and American financial markets is the best explanation. European and American financial markets don't buy it at all. None of those who should run have stopped."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the calm board.

Following his finger, Li Shan smiled and looked at the trend chart of European and American financial markets.

Things developed just as Yao Yuan expected.

When the time came to 11:30 in the evening, major European stock markets closed one after another.

Up to this point, European financial authorities and EU financial regulators have not reached a consensus and have not made a unified decision on how to deal with the current crisis.

As Yao Yuan said, they are still fantasizing that the US government and the Federal Reserve will come to the rescue of the market and are still waiting for good news from Wall Street.

The suicidal behavior of European financial authorities cannot rule out this possibility.

That is the work of an internal traitor. There are so many countries in the EU, and many of them are vassals and lackeys of the United States.

When voting within the EU, it is normal for a few countries to vote against it!

In fact, the EU's loose organizational structure of checks and balances means that it is impossible for them to make a quick decision on anything!

Even a matter of life and death can be delayed for ten days or half a month, and a decision can only be made after rounds of meetings and voting.

By that time, the daylily will be cold!

The same thing happened on Wall Street, which fell into an eerie silence with no breaking news coming out.

The management of Lehman Brothers Bank seemed to be in seclusion. No one showed up, and no announcement was made.

Paulson and many other financial giants who had entered the New York Stock Exchange building before seemed to have disappeared collectively, and none of them appeared.

They have been staying in the New York Stock Exchange headquarters building and have never shown up.

The entire Wall Street, and even the entire international financial market, were staring at the Lehman Brothers Bank headquarters building and the New York Stock Exchange building, waiting for news to come out of these two buildings.

The situation did not change until after midnight.

Wall Street, Lehman Brothers headquarters building.

At this time, the building was surrounded by a flood of media reporters.

The numerous media reporters gathered here set up their cameras and kept filming the entrance of the building, and even broadcast it live.

But what is strange is that from the opening of the U.S. stock market at 9:30 until now, the door of this building has remained closed, and almost no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Except for a few people from the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve, none of the many media reporters outside were able to enter the building.

No Lehman Brothers employee working in this building was allowed to leave.

Even at lunchtime, no one came out of the building.

Faced with this situation, all media reporters could only make wild guesses but had no idea what was happening in the building.

At this moment, a reporter suddenly said loudly:

"Guys, does anyone know any Lehman Brothers employees or executives? Give them a call right now and see if you can get through."

"The internal phone of Lehman Brothers is not working. I called several times but the phone was the same. Could it be that Lehman Brothers Bank has completely cut off contact with the outside world?"

After he said this, the scene immediately went into an uproar.

"No way, Lehman Brothers Bank has cut off contact with the outside world. What are they doing?"

"Oh my God! If this is true, then we are in big trouble. After Lehman Brothers cuts off communications, the next step may be to file for bankruptcy protection."

Everyone started talking at once, their eyes shining with excitement.

That’s right, it’s exciting!

These guys are all media reporters, and they always want to create chaos in the world!

After a few words of discussion, several of the reporters took out their mobile phones at the same time, ready to call their friends inside Lehman Brothers Bank.

At this moment, a huge roar of a helicopter engine suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw it immediately.

A medium-sized helicopter roared up from the roof of Lehman Brothers' headquarters building and flew quickly to the west.

At the same time, a convoy suddenly drove out from the basement exit not far away and followed the helicopter in the air.

"That's the helicopter of Richard, the CEO of Lehman Brothers. The helicopter is flying west. The New York District Court is just west of Wall Street!"

"Oh my God! Richard is not going to the local court to file for bankruptcy protection. If that's the case, the financial crisis will break out today."

"This is explosive news, guys, why are you still standing there? Let's go to the local court too!"

Before the shouting died down, many reporters had already quickly picked up their video cameras and started running.

I ran straight to the parking lot not far away and prepared to drive to the New York District Court.

Almost at the same time, the U.S. stock market finally stopped pretending and began to plummet!
