Mr. Williams, his brother-in-law, and the boss of the financial company who lent him money sat in their trading seats. The three of them watched the rapid rise in Atlantic Chemical's stock price without blinking an eye. After Beford told him this little inside information, through him and his wife and brother, the boss of the financial company was also dragged into the water. For what Beford said was an unprecedented market situation, he not only mortgaged all his properties to banks, but also borrowed a large sum of money from a finance company.
Now he has at least three million federal guilders in his stock account, and it is increasing at a certain rate every minute.
Some people say that finance is the most beautiful thing in the world, because as long as you sit still, you can see your wealth expanding at a terrifying speed. Mr. Williams, who didn't know much about this issue before, is now very sure that the person who said this must be a super winner. He unclenched his clenched fists, and his knuckles turned white. In the past five minutes, he had gained seventeen thousand yuan.
There has never been such a terrifying rate of making money. He, his wife, brother, and the boss of the financial company were all drinking water constantly. The crazy rise in stocks made them secrete a little too much adrenaline, and they needed to increase their water intake.
"William, how much do you think it can go up this time?" his wife and brother asked. This time he also spent a lot of money. He only caught half of the last big market, but it was enough for him to be attracted by the financial market. Qi Qiqi was impressed, so like Mr. Williams, he mortgaged everything through his own channels, and then seized the market.
Mr. Williams said very seasonedly, "Don't worry, it will at least double, triple is not impossible!" He was very confident in his assessment. Atlantic Chemical has begun to accept orders and invited some people to experiment. The laboratory researched new materials, and the final results were surprisingly consistent - Atlantic Chemical may become the most profitable chemical company in the federation and even the world. Many people have already begun to submit reports and want to apply for access to their new patents to "compare" whether there are any duplications in the patents of their own research laboratories.
Of course, whether or not someone secretly wants to make these new materials will not affect Atlantic Chemical's future earnings.
Just as the three people were chatting happily and discussing where to go to a warm place for vacation after the New Year, Beford rushed in with a pale face and rushed into the company manager's office. Within a moment, the phone in front of Williams Suddenly it rang. The sudden ringing of the phone frightened him, and his whole body trembled, and an uneasy feeling began to spread. He looked at the phone that kept ringing and waited for a long time before reaching out to grab it.
The printing house of "Good Morning News" is frantically printing more supplements. It has just received the latest news. Although there are two, they are actually talking about the same thing, something related to Atlantic Chemical.
During this period, there was a lot of discussion about Atlantic Chemical, and it was very popular. Everyone was discussing how the emergence of new materials would bring changes to people's lives. They even use new materials to make some daily necessities, including clothes and other things. They are indeed very good. Many people can't wait to buy these things and use them.
But just now two "disasters" happened.
The first disaster was a violent explosion in the newly built production workshop of Atlantic Chemical. They said that some potentially harmful chemicals began to spread. The local city hall had begun to evacuate people near the chemical plant, and the fire department was already at work, but what was obtained The feedback was not good. The new production workshop and the old production workshop were only twenty or thirty meters apart. The explosion caused a chain reaction and even the warehouse was on fire. A large amount of chemicals began to spread farther away with the wind, and it is said that there have been poisoning casualties.
In addition, a private research laboratory in the empire issued a notification message to various countries. They believed that the content of the patent registered by Atlantic Chemical was incorrect or forged, because according to the patent they applied for, it was impossible to extract any and The related products they displayed were of the same nature. At the same time, a large part of this patent was suspected of plagiarism and infringement, and they deceived everyone. And through research on the chemical patent formulas submitted by Atlantic Chemical over the years, this private research laboratory found that a large part of them were involved in fraud. They secretly used other registered patents. This is fraud and should be condemned.
As for why companies whose patent rights have been infringed were not discovered before, that is another matter.
As soon as the two pieces of news came out, the huge problems faced by Atlantic Chemical were directly reflected in the stock price. In the five minutes before the Federal Financial Management Commission asked the two major trading houses to suspend trading of Atlantic Chemical, Atlantic Chemical's stock price was cut in half, exceeding 2 billion. Federal Shield funds evaporated in the stock market.
The microphone in his hand fell from Mr. Williams's hand. He stood up blankly and walked towards the trading room. When he was about to leave, he looked back at the time on the calendar. It was November 23rd, only the Chinese New Year left. Eight days!
The sudden bad news caused the entire stock market to pause for a few seconds. This time Atlantic Chemical cheated many people, including many companies and capitalists. Atlantic Group is one of the emerging consortiums in the Federation. Its many powerful companies make many people very optimistic about Atlantic Group. Their long-term holding of stocks in these companies has indeed made them a lot of money. But the bad news that suddenly came out was not just Atlantic Chemical's stock falling, all stocks related to Atlantic Group began to trend downward.
The most serious reason here is the spread of chemical pollution. The local city hall has issued an emergency notice requiring the evacuation of the entire city. No matter how it ends, Atlantic Group will need to pay for this disaster. If there are a large number of deaths, it is very likely that Atlantic Chemical will be split up directly and file for bankruptcy. This will definitely be a fatal blow to a consortium and a new consortium. If one thing is not handled well, Atlantic Group may be swallowed up by other large consortiums. This fatal point is enough for them to cut the Atlantic Group with a knife and fork!
At 4:17 pm on November 23, with a loud bang and slight shaking of the ground, the financial disaster known as the Black New Year in federal financial history began!
The CEO of Atlantic Chemical has been invited to have tea with the FBI, and members of the department responsible for production safety have been invited to participate in some unique questionnaires. The local army has also begun to allocate manpower and material resources to minimize the losses, but with little success.
Many chemical products and raw materials are harmless when stored alone, but after high temperature and thorough mixing, they will produce a large amount of toxic gases and floating particles, which have begun to pollute the whole city. The local fire department and the military want to find out what toxic substances are spreading again so that they can put out the disaster in a targeted manner.
But at this time, who can tell clearly? It is said that when the explosion occurred in the production workshop, many people had already returned to the Kingdom of God.
The entire federation was discussing this disaster. At the same time, a thick layer of dark clouds appeared in places invisible to ordinary people.
Starting from the explosion in Atlantic Chemical's production workshop in the afternoon, a large number of short Federal Shield trading orders suddenly appeared in the foreign exchange market, and the number was extremely alarming. Such neat and consistent short selling was obviously organized and premeditated. In addition, the disaster of Atlantic Chemical caused the entire stock market to fall for a short period of time, and the Federal Shield also began to point downward.
"The Federal Shield is very dangerous now, and I think we should remind our customers to clear their stocks."
A manager at the foreign exchange exchange was talking to the brokers about these things, "The Federal Shield has risen too fast, so fast that it's scary. It only took us more than three months and less than four months to achieve this." It doesn’t comply with the rules of trading!” According to the current exchange rate in the foreign exchange market, the former one-to-four Star Dollar to Federal Guilder has become one to two-and-a-half points. This speed is absolutely abnormal and does not comply with the laws of the free market.
"And...", the manager hesitated and shook his head, "Let's arrange it this way first, and empty all our own currency positions. Let's take a look at the situation first."
This kind of thing happened in many financial trading companies. The sudden huge amount of short selling gave them a smell of danger. As some people were willing to believe and avoid risks, they emptied their currency positions, and a large number of selling began to make the continuous rise There has been a brief "pullback" in the Federal Shield for more than a quarter. Of course, this is what some unbelieving trading brokers told their clients.
At the same time, at Dulin's manor, he met again the vice president of the Federal Bank who had just become friends with him.
"I need to borrow a sum of federal shields..." Dulin asked someone to place two suitcases on the table. After opening them, they were filled with banknotes, not federal shields, but star dollars. He spread his hands, smiled and said, "We are friends, right?"
The vice president glanced at the two suitcases stuffed with banknotes and swallowed, "How much do you want to borrow?"
"Ten billion!"
This sentence immediately made the experienced vice president understand something. He almost stood up and looked at Dulin with a horrified look on his face. "Are you shorting the Federal Shield?" He immediately shook his head and said, "No, this won't work! And you lack enough credit to borrow this money from the Federal Bank. It's not that I won't help you, it's that I really can't make such an important decision."
Dulin opened the drawer and threw a thick document bag on the table. "This is the equity of all companies under Atlantic Group. Believe me, you can do it!"
