Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 958 Cloudy Trading Day

After making arrangements to repurchase stocks on Monday and start closing positions, Carter went downstairs to the apartment to pack his luggage!
Even Carter cannot violate the clearly stipulated system.But again, as a lieutenant of a privileged class, Carter has a way not to return to South Korea temporarily.like now
A secondment order was sent to Carter on Saturday.On Monday, Carter will go to the Pentagon in Arlington County, temporarily serving as an adviser to the War Department on information construction issues
Combined with Carter's identity, at least on the bright side, no one can find fault with this arrangement!
As the boss of a computer company and the major shareholder of a listed software company, he also has an unclear relationship with IBM, the largest computer equipment manufacturer in the United States.
However, Carter is still a member of the army. Since he wants to engage in informatization construction, it is completely reasonable and reasonable for such a person to be temporarily expropriated!
but specifically
"Don't cast your eyes randomly! Although you won't be able to easily see any secret documents, you should know the situation here. You can see people from almost all military branches here, and friction is naturally indispensable. If there is any problem , General Wono will be very embarrassed."

Before leaving get off work on Sunday, Carter arrived at the mysterious Pentagon.And walked in here, led by a Lieutenant Colonel, Secretary of the Chief of Staff Karl Warno
The Pentagon, where more than 4 people work at the same time, is indeed as it says, there are too many messy institutions here
The Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of the Air Force, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc., all get together here.Even walking in the lobby on the first floor.
Convenience stores, post offices, banks, restaurants, etc. also dazzled Carter.Countless people in various military uniforms, or people in suits walked through it, bypassed these crowds, and climbed to the second floor along the nearest stairs
"The second floor is where the Joint Chiefs of Staff is located. You don't usually come here. You should have noticed that the carpets on the second floor are all golden, so it is also known as the 'Golden Hall', which is a special feature of our place! "

"understand!"

There was a strong arrogance in the lieutenant colonel's words.For ordinary military officers, being able to work in the Pentagon or beside the Chief of Staff of the Army is indeed a matter of pride.

Carter didn't need to argue with him, after all, he just came here to deal with the rules.Carter and Wo Nuo are very clear that this guy is not here to work at all!It's just that the lieutenant colonel in front of him probably doesn't know.
"The third floor is the office space shared by the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of National Defense. The area over there is the territory of the Ministry of Defense. Don't go there if you have nothing to do. Most of this area is owned by the Ministry of the Army. I will take you to the office. After work If you want to come out for a walk, you can go to the 'Hall of Heroes' for a walk, and don't run around in other places."

While leading Carter to the office, when passing by a staircase, the lieutenant colonel pointed to the staircase again:
"upstairs."

"Don't run around! I won't go up!"

"Very good! Although I guess you are not too happy to go up, the upstairs is the territory of the Air Force and the Ministry of the Navy"

Understood, the upper class master!
Carter smiled tacitly, then entered an office
After a brief greeting with other people in the office, Carter put down the two notebooks, and then went to see General Karl Warnow.To be precise, he went to his office to receive a task: to visit major information equipment manufacturing companies and issue a research report to the Ministry of War.

Then, Carter can go back to the hotel and prepare for his own affairs!
In the suite of the Hilton Hotel in Arlington County, several telephones, several terminal machines for receiving market trends of major exchanges in the United States, including display equipment, have all been installed in place.

After taking a comfortable soak in a hot bath, Carter went to bed early, and everything was for tomorrow!

The next morning, the window was cloudy
At 16 o'clock in the morning on the 160th, a storm with a speed of up to [-] kilometers per hour set off from northern France and hit London directly.Trees fell and houses fell.
The storm, which killed 18 people, injured hundreds and caused millions of pounds in direct property damage, is now threatening to land in the United States.
Standing by the window, after drinking the coffee in his hand, Carter looked down at his watch: it's almost time!

After closing the windows to isolate the noisy wind, Carter sat back on the boss chair in the living room of the suite, waiting for the New York bell to ring
At the same time, it seems to be affected by the weather.At this time, the hearts of the people in the New York Stock Exchange seemed to be covered with a haze!
At the end of the last trading day last week, the market that plunged more than 100 points in a single day may be more worrying than the storm outside!
In particular, since August 25, the stock market has been falling steadily.The month-long decline has made even the most optimistic people not have too much expectation for the stock market at this time.

People are waiting here, and there may be only one expectation in their hearts: less loss is more profit!Less loss is victory!

No matter what people think, the bell that should come will eventually come!

The bell of the New York Stock Exchange seemed to pass through the space in an instant, and rang in Carter's ears. At the same time, there was the sudden explosion of noise in the exchange!The busy trading day has begun!

Countless scenes have already been engraved in everyone's heart.Just like Carter, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can still hear the boiling of the exchange, everyone is used to all this!
Even if you don't have any expectations for the stock market to rise, you are at best disappointed, far from desperate. The beginning of October 10th is no different from the past!
However, when bad news comes, it is always so sudden and so abrupt!

Even after recalling the beginning many years later, Carter can clearly remember what happened at that time.
Carter, who was far away from the first scene, received a call from the front when the market just opened.On the phone, trader Chris first reported to Carter the situation at the opening.Cooperating with the data displayed on Carter's side, this process proceeded quickly and was normal.
"There has been a lot of index futures selling on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, just received the news! Boss, should we wait?"

After the routine report was completed, just before Carter was about to release the purchase order, Chris mentioned a piece of information in a flat tone.Until this time, neither of them realized the seriousness of the problem!
In Chris' mind, today is indeed the day for them to close their positions.But 09:30 am is today, and 03:30 pm is also today. Moreover, with Carter's huge size, it is somewhat difficult to close the position within a day.

Now that a large number of index futures have begun to sell, this means that the market's confidence in the future trend is becoming less and less.Most people, even many large institutions in Chicago, have shown a considerable degree of pessimism about the future trend of the index.

So, why not wait a little longer and place a buy order when the price is lower?Wouldn't this make more money? !
"Oh? Really? I'm sorry, the information update on my side is a bit slow, after all, it's too far away from your side! It's out! I saw that the handwriting is not small, emmm, it's okay! Wait a little bit, and see the trend. "
