The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 532: 30 minutes, 28 trillion! (asking for monthly ticket)
It is now 0:15 in the evening, and there are still 9 hours and 15 minutes before the market opens.

It was so long that it was tormenting for Ivar.

He met four colleagues at the door of his boss's house, and they all rang the doorbell frantically.

After the model opened the door, he dragged the drugged boss from the sofa, stuffed him into the car, and dragged him to the company to start work.

An hour and a half later, all senior staff arrived.

While watching the financial markets in other countries plummet, they were frantically making and receiving phone calls to discuss countermeasures.

——There is a 12-hour time difference between the United States and Xia Country, which gives them more buffer time.

But many markets do not have this buffer!
The Xiaguo, Izumo, and Southeast Asian markets that were trading, after a brief hesitation, began to lead the plunge.

The share prices of Xia Country's most sought-after server and computing power-related stocks plummeted, causing the index to collapse on the spot, and the entire market plummeted along with it!
Gamblers who took over at high prices lost up to 50% in two hours!

Izumo stocks and indexes triggered the circuit breaker mechanism one after another, and the market was closed and trading was stopped.

BeiGene triggered the third-level circuit breaker and the market was also closed on the spot.

Investors can’t cut their losses and leave the market, they can’t escape at all!
……

Across the entire Asian Internet, the wails of stock investors were deafening.

Such a tragic situation deeply shocked the European and American capital markets.

In this situation, what exactly is the topological photonic chip technology, when can this technology be applied on a large scale, and what impact will it have on the market after application...

It's no longer important.

Confidence has collapsed.

When the avalanche is rolling down, reason is meaningless.

There is no longer any suspense about the plunge after the opening!

All stock brokers began to receive a series of life-threatening calls from clients.

Jordan had been talking over and over again all night and was exhausted.

When I saw the sky getting brighter, I thought I could finally take a breath.

As a result, more customers woke up and saw the exaggerated news in the media, and they became very nervous.

My first reaction was to pull out my cell phone and contact my stockbroker to inquire about the situation.

——Investors from different countries buy different stocks, and they don’t know whether the stocks they buy will fall.

At this time, you can only seek help from a professional stock broker.

Jordan and his colleagues immediately received more calls, and the emotions were more excited and difficult to control than those at night.

At this time, Jordan also received a call from Evans.

A poor man who was almost crushed by debt. In order to keep his family from being kicked out, he risked mortgaging his house and bet all his hopes on stocks.

Unlike other clients, Jordan had met Evans in real life and knew that he was a retired soldier due to injury.

A man who loves his wife and children and wants to give them a good life but is unable to do so.

but now……

He looked at the number for a long time without answering it.

He really didn't want to lie to this person.

But the phone kept ringing, and Jordan finally picked up the phone.

Evans's question was no different from the more than 40 calls before, and no different from the tens of thousands of investors across the federation right now.

"Will the stocks I bought plummet? Should I sell them immediately?"

The answer is:
Not necessarily.

No need to rush.

Under study.

Our technology companies are better than those in Xiaguo, and our stock market is more mature.

Have confidence.

Jordan has been saying all the same old things all night, without even having to use his brain.

But now, the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.

——Jordan told so many lies that his little remaining conscience could not bear the burden.

Jordan said nothing.

Radio waves of silence came and went over New York.

Evans realized something.

"I'm sorry," Jordan said.

"If you can run, run as fast as you can."

"The less compensation, the better."

Evans did not rant hysterically or threaten Jordan with compensating him for his losses.

He just fell silent.

There was deathly silence on the phone.

"Help me," Evans said finally.

Jordan was helpless: "I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do."

"No one can predict what will happen after the market opens, and I am stuck in it."

“I can only tell you: at this moment, don’t care about the loss, and don’t think about rebounding. The faster you run, the better!”

After a few seconds of silence again, Evans hung up the phone.

Jordan didn't even bother to have breakfast. He picked up the sandwich his wife prepared and rushed out the door to the company.

He arrived at the company two hours earlier than usual, only to find the office bustling with people.

Almost everyone has arrived, and everyone is busy as hell.

He also saw his boss sitting among a group of senior brokers with lifeless eyes, completely different from his former high-spirited self.

Through the whispers of my colleagues, I learned that the company had used 30 times the leverage to go long on futures contracts!

If you can't survive this round, the consequences will be very tragic!
Jordan sat down in his seat nervously, answering the phone while paying attention to the conversation over there -

“Then add 30 times leverage to short sell! If you lose money on long sell, you can make up for it by short sell!”

"You're selling rubbish to fools, and you've made yourself stupid? Everyone knows the market is going to crash! Who would want to play against you!?"

"Then there's nothing we can do?"

"Can you use the client's account to operate it? They just want to lose money anyway, so help us through this difficult time?"

"Are you crazy? If you want to go to jail, go ahead and do it yourself. I won't accompany you!" "Everyone mortgage your house and see if you can survive this round?"

"You are fucking crazy!!"

……

Obviously, faced with this situation, these predecessors have no better solution than Jordan.

Apart from talking loudly and relieving my fear, I had no other reliable ideas.

In the end, all we can do is wait for the stock market to open.
-
The stock market opens at 9:30.

Then the fuse mechanism is triggered instantly!

——Individual stocks mainly engaged in servers and computing power plummeted.

Daily, weekly, monthly and annual lines were all broken through!
Even the decline in large-cap stocks generally exceeded 10%!

The situation for low-priced stocks was even worse, with the worst-hit stock [Sperwin Technology] seeing its share price cut in half on the spot!

And this is far from the limit.

It was just because the drop was too large that the circuit breaker mechanism was triggered and trading was suspended for 5 to 10 minutes.

In the open office of Lazard Templeton, the boss Lazard's dull face suddenly came to life and let out a desperate scream -

"AHHHHH!!! FUCK!!"

"FUCK!! FUCK!! FU~~~~CK!!!"

There were loud bangs above my head, as if someone was smashing something on the roof.

Someone next door is throwing A4 paper around like crazy.

In the office building across the road, a man whose face could not be seen clearly lifted up a fish tank and smashed it onto the tempered glass along with the water and fish.

A pedestrian on the road smashed the cell phone in his hand viciously.

……

Jordan knew how they felt.

Because he did not sell the stocks he held.

Even though he placed a sell order early on and sold it at a 10% discount, he still wasn't able to sell it right away.

But he didn't have time to complain, he immediately canceled the order and placed a new one.

This time he gritted his teeth and almost trembled as he chose to lower the price by another 10% after it had already dropped 20%!

After the brief interruption, trading had just begun and the prices of the relevant stocks fell again without stopping.

And the magnitude of the drop is even more exaggerated than before!
In less than 30 seconds, the circuit breaker was triggered again!

The stocks in Jordan's hands have not been traded yet!

His hands and feet were cold, his whole body was trembling, and he felt that the hustle and bustle of the world was fading away.

He used all his willpower to cancel the sell order again and reduce the price by another 20%!

At this moment, even if the transaction is completed, the stocks he holds will only have 57.6% of their previous value.

He had never imagined that he would experience something so horrible.

But what’s even more frightening is: he even expects to make a deal next time!
Fortunately, after resuming trading, he finally managed to escape from this hell.

In 15 minutes, the loss was 42.4%!

Years of hard work, all in vain.

But Jordan didn't care about the heartache and just felt fortunate.

Because this tragedy is still going on!
He finally had the mood to look at his colleagues around him and found that their muscles were tense, their faces were red, and their breathing was rapid.

Apparently the battle is not over yet.

Jordan began to worry about his clients again, especially those who used leverage and loans to trade stocks!

It's scary enough to see years of savings evaporate in an instant.

It would be even more desperate if you have to take out a huge loan because of it!

Just as he thought of this, his phone rang.

——Customers cannot bear this kind of plunge and are unwilling to cut their losses and admit defeat, so they choose to vent their anger by cursing.

Jordan was scolded silently.

Half an hour later, all colleagues - whether they had sold their stocks or not, stopped what they were doing and started answering the phone and getting scolded with heavy hearts.

Because the overall market index fell too much, a full circuit breaker was triggered and the market closed early.

In other words: trading hours are over for today.

In just half an hour, 28 trillion Mi Yuan evaporated!

If you want to run, you can only wait until tomorrow.

As for whether I can escape tomorrow?
God only knows!
While retail investors suffered huge losses, a large number of long contracts were forced to close.

Accounts were emptied in an instant, and there were countless investors and institutions that even owed securities companies millions or tens of millions!

The next day and night were filled with their desperate wailing.

God knows how investors around the world spent this day and night.

Jordan has been scolded, scolded, and scolded.

Even if his colleagues no longer answered the phone, he still answered every call and accepted all kinds of vicious curses.

Some people even cried while cursing.

But compared to these, what worries Jordan is that Evans, who should be the most desperate and angry, never called.

until the next day.

He left for work early and only received a call from Evans when he arrived downstairs of the company.

Jordan answered the phone, ready to be scolded.

But to his surprise: Evans did not scold him.

Instead, he said to him in a calm tone: “Jordan, don’t go to work at the company today.”

Jordan subconsciously looked up at the company office on the sixth floor and found that everything was normal.

He looked away blankly.

Puzzled, he asked Evans, “Why?”

But there was only a busy tone on the phone.

At the same time, two men wearing large army green raincoats with hoods covering their faces walked into the building.
