Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 411: The first battle of China-made aviation engine wins!Nickel-based superalloys!
Although he saved his life, Xu Cang was still too weak. After seeing Xia Shuyue and Chen Tianyang on the first day after waking up, he closed the door and went to concentrate on self-cultivation.

However, after the 911/911 incident, the world was shrouded in a sense of suffocation, especially Xu Cang's fate was completely reversed after [-]/[-].

There is no more unforgettable proof than this.

On the third day, Qin Xin finally came over. At that time, Xu Cang was ready to go to the ground, and his complexion was much better than the previous two days.Therefore, when Qin Xin came over and saw Xu Cang's appearance, she felt a little better. If she had to experience Xu Cang's walk through the gate of hell, her mood would be greatly fluctuated.

Although Xu Cang could go down to the ground, at most he was just wandering around in the ward, and he had to hold on to something, otherwise his legs and feet would be weak and he would fall easily.

Xu Cang didn't like lying on the bed all the time. After Qin Xin came over, he put his arm around Qin Xin's shoulders and walked back and forth. The speed had to be controlled well, otherwise the wound would be affected and the pain would be severe.

"It's all hurt like this, can't you calm down?" Qin Xin hoped that Xu Cang would lie down all the time, but he couldn't hold back Xu Cang, and his tone was still a bit reproachful.

Xu Cang smiled weakly, but the joy was real, and even the hand on Qin Xin's right shoulder was quite dishonest, pinching Qin Xin's face from time to time: "The bones are rusted after lying down for two days. , Lie down again, people will be useless."

Qin Xin wanted to knock off Xu Cang's right hand very much, but seeing Xu Cang's breathless voice made him feel distressed, so he could only stare at him fiercely: "I think you owe it, and you'll pay it back after being shot." Dishonest."

"This is called the aftermath of a catastrophe, ecstatic?" Xu Cang pulled his throat and wanted to smile boldly, but he was short of breath, and he pulled the wound on his shoulder all of a sudden, the pain made Xu Cang almost burst into tears.

"Are you still crazy?" Qin Xin wiped Xu Cang's tears dumbfounded: "Don't hold on, I'm not a little girl, still need you to comfort me?"

After being pointed out by Qin Xin's words, Xu Cang smiled slightly.

He was really pretending just now, he wanted to pretend to be more energetic, so as not to worry Qin Xin.

In fact, after Xu Cang passed the dangerous period, as long as he spoke softly, there would be no big problem.Thinking about pretending to be a normal person and making herself dizzy, in Qin Xin's eyes, it was very childish.

"Okay, okay, stop pretending, walk slowly, walk slowly."

Qin Xin then slowed down her pace: "Your condition has stabilized now, do you want to transfer to another hospital? Back then, I was in a hurry, so I had to come over here, but there are better hospitals in Tokyo, can you change?"

"Compared to transferring to another hospital, can you think of a way to give me a small meal? Although I'm recovering and my diet should be light, the food here is really... I'm not used to it."

Looking at Xu Cang with a bitter gourd face, Qin Xin smiled: "What do you want to eat? However, you can't eat everything in your situation, so don't make excessive demands."

"Then I'll order something?" Xu Cang pondered for a while: "Stir-fried shrimp, fried tofu, sea shell and winter melon soup, and if possible, sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, beat you like sweet and sour pork ribs." Qin Xin snorted, "Just the first three, sweet and sour pork ribs are fine."

"Sweet and sour pork ribs are not good, why?" Xu Cang showed a very awkward expression: "Or you...can't do it? No, you should be able to do it?"

"It's just that I don't know how to do it yet. I'm learning." While speaking, Qin Xin was startled suddenly: "How do you know that I will cook it myself? Besides, these few dishes are..."

Xu Cang pointed to get off the bed, and asked Qin Xin to help him over: "It's nothing, just guess casually."

"Guess?" Qin Xin revealed a trace of suspicion: "Really?"

"Really, really, more true than anything else." Xu Cang sat down slowly, looking very casual, as if he really guessed at random.

In fact, these few dishes are one of the few that Qin Xin knows how to cook. With Qin Xin's temperament, it's fine if she can't cook them. If she can cook them, she will definitely come here in person.

This kind of trivial matter didn't bother Qin Xin for too long. After Xu Cang sat down, she started to talk about serious matters: "Yesterday, Xiao Lingyun called you. He kept calling you, but he couldn't reach you."

"My mobile phone is broken." Xu Cang panted slightly, even such a small amount of exercise was a bit too much for Xu Cang now: "What did you say?"

"Your matter was on the news, and he called to ask about your situation." Qin Xin sat next to Xu Cang: "There is also the matter of the New York Stock Exchange being closed."

Xu Cang hummed: "I know this."

The New York Stock Exchange closed on the evening of September [-], US time, and waited until September [-] to reopen.All countries are reporting relevant news. Even if the US stock market is suspended, the atmosphere of panic is already quite obvious.

Suddenly, Qin Xin's phone rang, and she took it out to have a look: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, it's Xiao Lingyun's phone number."

Xu Cang ticked off with his right hand: "Give it to me, I'll tell him."

Just as Xu Cang was answering, Xiao Lingyun's anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Mr. Qin, have you seen Xu Cang?"

"Ling Yun, it's me." Xu Cang said in a low voice, "Where are you now, New York?"

"Xu Cang?" Xiao Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Xu Cang, are you alright?"

"You're talking like you want something to happen to me."

"I don't mean that, as long as it's okay, as long as it's okay." Xiao Lingyun calmed down: "Is it convenient to talk?"

Xiao Lingyun was worried about Xu Cang's health. After all, he had received news that Xu Cang's injury was quite serious, so he couldn't delay Xu Cang's rest.

"It's okay, I still have the strength to say a few words." Xu Cang asked: "Is it about the US stock market, is it going to collapse?"

"Yes, for sure." As soon as the U.S. stock market was mentioned, Xiao Lingyun's tone rose: "Although trading is suspended now, according to the information I have received, as long as the market reopens on the 17th, it will definitely be a wave of panic. Sexual sell-off. A crash is sure to happen, the only difference is what kind of crash it will be, and whether it is possible to be the same level as 'Black Thursday'."

Black Thursday is a famous crash event in the history of the US stock market, and its importance directly became the starting point of the Great Depression in the United States.

Now for the US stocks that have reopened after 911/[-], almost everyone has a consensus that it will crash, but the degree of uncertainty is the only thing.

Some people are even clamoring that this time will be the beginning of the second depression in the United States.

"That's not the case." Xu Cang remembered that although 911/911 had a huge negative impact on the US stock market, and even the global stock market, it was different from the Great Depression in the United States in that [-]/[-] was an occasional problem. The impact is only temporary and will not have long-term continuity.

If Xu Cang remembers correctly, in the second year after 911/[-], the U.S. stock market began to gradually recover.

Of course, only Xu Cang knew this information.

Everyone likes to buy the bottom, and now that the U.S. stock market is about to collapse, it is a good time to buy the bottom.But the problem is that the premise of buying the bottom is that it can still rise in the future. If you want to continue to slump after closing, it will be a big hit.

Such a thing as 911/[-] has never happened in the history of the United States. Therefore, almost everyone can't understand the future trend of the US stock market, and it is natural to be tied when it comes to copying the bottom line.

Therefore, the information that Xu Cang has is extremely precious.

He used Kingfisher Airlines as collateral before, and the loan of 20 billion US dollars will become the biggest help for Xu Cang to buy high-quality and cheap assets.

"Since the U.S. stock market is so panicked, even the U.S. capital market should be in constant panic, and even U.S. asset appraisal prices should usher in a general decline."

"That's right!" Xiao Lingyun said: "After the accident, I went to Google and Apple, and they both expressed their willingness to negotiate on a veto."

"Negotiation? Hehe, it seems that they still have a little illusion about the re-opening of the market on the 17th." Xu Cang sneered: "Then wait a bit. It seems that one week is not enough. Let's wait another half a month until they realize the reality Now, talk to them again."

If the US stock market crashes, the initiative must be in Xu Cang's hands.It stands to reason that Xu Cang and the others should be sure to win, but the factors of the September 911 incident are more complicated, which has a great political attribute, which may instead arouse the unity of the American people, so that the US stock market will not experience huge fluctuations.

Another thing is that the US government is likely to intervene, such as cutting interest rates to stimulate the economy.As long as the economy is stable, the stock market, which is highly related to the economy, can also be stabilized.

Given the precedent of the previous Great Depression, the US government will still be more vigilant and willing to intervene.If the government takes a strong hand to save the market, there is no small possibility that the negative impact of 911/[-] will be supported.

Therefore, the choice of whether to buy the bottom may not be the most important thing. Whether there is a possibility of bottom-buying is two things.

"Xu Cang, how much do you think the U.S. stock market will drop this time? Is it enough for us to take the initiative?"

To be honest, it would be ridiculous for outsiders to hear such words.

It is ridiculous that a veteran who has been in the stock market for many years should seek advice from a layman in his professional field.But Xiao Lingyun didn't think there was any problem at all. He knew in his heart that he was Xu Cang's toolman in terms of investment. The general direction was set by Xu Cang, and he was only responsible for the details and practical operations.

"Wait, we'll see the outcome on the 17th." It's impossible for Xu Cang to tell Xiao Lingyun, anyway, the time is not long, just wait.

"That's what I said..." Xu Cang was confident, but Xiao Lingyun was scratching his head.He could see that Xu Cang's crazy act of mortgaging Kingfisher Airlines before seemed to be for the US stock market crash in the near future, although he didn't know why Xu Cang was so unpredictable.

20 billion US dollars may not be a big game for those capital giants. After all, those people play on a scale of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars, and the top players can even harvest a country.

However, if the 20 billion US dollars are used well, Xu Cang will definitely have the qualifications to enter the house.Similarly, as Xu Cang's follower, Xiao Lingyun will also soar into the sky.

At this turning point, which can be called a turning point in life, Xiao Lingyun was a little nervous.

If the U.S. stock market does not crash, the $20 billion can only buy certain assets at normal prices. Even if it is still likely to be profitable, the effect will be much worse.

Xu Cang seemed to see through Xiao Lingyun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If you trade hundreds of billions of dollars in capital in the future, can your heart still bear it? Or is your knowledge only limited to the current scale?"

Xiao Lingyun was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone was less concerned about gain and loss: "I know, I will adjust my mentality."

After a pause, Xiao Lingyun's tone became lighter: "One more thing, I checked the German Munich Reinsurance Company that you asked me to pay attention to earlier, and there are really some interesting things?"

"Oh?" Xu Cang raised his voice, "Let's hear it."

"From what we know so far, a total of 54 insurance companies have been implicated in this crash. If the stock market crashes after NO.17 opens, insurance stocks will undoubtedly crash the hardest. The small insurance company declared bankruptcy, and the situation of the other relatively large insurance companies seems to be acceptable.” Xiao Lingyun’s tone was even a little gloating: “I checked later, and these insurance companies have reinsured their policies. Therefore , two-thirds of the final compensation amount of this impact event was actually borne by the reinsurance company, and half of this part of the reinsurance business was undertaken by the German Munich Reinsurance Company. It is estimated that so far, the German Munich Reinsurance Company's compensation The amount has reached 110 billion US dollars, which is already close to the upper limit that the company can afford. However, it is almost certain that the final compensation amount will only be higher than this figure, and it should be able to exceed 150 billion US dollars. If this is the case, then it is very big Chances are Munich Re will”

"Bankrupt!" Xu Cang spit out these two words softly.

The so-called insurance, in essence, is to share the risk.The policyholder achieves the purpose of sharing the risk by paying the insurance money to the insurance company.

So, since individuals or businesses can insure, and the insured items are various, why can't the insurance company itself, as a commercial organization, insure its own policies?
There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in the world, and the insurance company itself needs to bear the risk, especially in the face of those orders with extremely high insurance prices.If these orders need to be paid, the pressure on the insurance company will be great.

Therefore, the reinsurance business came into being.

That is to say, the insurance company buys insurance from the reinsurance company as the policyholder to share its own risks.

Because the insured orders of the insurance company are usually those with high value, the insurance company has done a rigorous risk assessment when accepting the order, and the possibility of compensation itself is very small.Later, the reinsurance company will conduct a second evaluation on these policies and go through another round of screening.

Therefore, the orders received by the reinsurance company will basically not cause problems.However, because of the particularity of its insurance policy, once something goes wrong, it will be bloodletting. Just like the impact of the World Trade Center this time, it is a complete black swan event, which directly brought large companies such as Munich Re Insurance Company of Germany to the verge of bankruptcy.

"Xu Cang, the impact of this incident on the insurance industry is very great, and it may not be relieved for many years. You don't think so."

The previous performance of the German Munich Re Insurance Company was actually very good, but years of hard work were ruined by 9·11. The impact of the 9 incident is too great, and the insurance industry is afraid that it will be in a downturn for a long time.

Xiao Lingyun could feel that Xu Cang was interested in the German Munich Reinsurance Company.However, the German Munich Re Insurance Company is a big company, but it is a sinkhole when it rots. Xiao Lingyun doesn't want Xu Cang to fall into the pit.

However, Xu Cang said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll understand. After you finish the business in America, go to Germany."

"You." Xiao Lingyun was really speechless, and the co-author had ignored his own words, but Xu Cang was the boss, and he couldn't chase after him to persuade him, so he had to agree first, and then he said it when we met later.

Originally, Xu Cang wanted to say a few words, but the phone rang again, and the call came in again.

"I'm on the phone, let's talk about it later." Xu Cang said something to Xiao Lingyun, then glanced at the number, it was Yi Feng's, so he got connected.

As soon as the call was connected, Yi Feng's voice rang: "Boss Qin, have you seen Xu Cang?"

"See you!" Xu Cang said with a smile.

"Ah? Xu Cang!" Yi Feng was overjoyed. He heard Xu Cang's clear and loud voice, and he seemed to be fine. He was very happy: "I originally wanted to go together, but something happened suddenly here, so I couldn't leave. open ah."

Xu Cang joked: "What is more important than visiting me?"

Originally Xu Cang was just joking, but Yi Feng's tone became extremely serious: "It's really important. Just this morning, the Metal Research Institute of AVIC has successfully produced a finished product according to the information you gave."

Before, Wang Jingming gave Xu Cang all the research results of his life.

Xu Cang was not an expert in this field, so he handed it over to Lin Ming. It happened that AVIC had a metal research institute under its jurisdiction, and the major was just right.

"What, the result came out so quickly?" Xu Cang was also extremely surprised, the speed was too fast.

"They said that the information you gave is very detailed, just follow it." Yi Feng was also happy: "Even the trademark is tentatively decided, it's GH6001!"
