Babylonian Empire

Qusay is not a panacea. History has already been changed. Qusay just knows that in history, in October 87, the U.S. stock market would plummet, bringing the global stock market plummeting, which became the direct cause of the global economic recession in the late 10s. fuse.

However, due to Qusay's crossing, history has changed a lot, so this crisis was not staged on time.

Qu Sai is no longer a magic stick, but Zhang Manyu's investment institution will continue.

After several months, Zhang Manyu has been paying attention to the changes in the stock market. Just last Friday, the New York stock market fell by 91 points after several months of consecutive record highs.

91 points is actually not much, accounting for only 5.00% of the entire index. Moreover, due to time differences and other factors, other stock markets have not been affected, even the Toronto stock market, which is synchronized with the New York stock market, has not been affected.

However, Zhang Manyu was keenly aware of the problem, as if the dominoes were overturned, a small drop could bring catastrophic consequences, in economics, this is called the herd effect.

Therefore, Zhang Manyu dumped most of the stocks he held last Friday, and, because he started earlier, the transaction was completed before the stock market closed.

Because on Saturdays and Sundays, transactions cannot be carried out, and on Mondays, it is very likely that the accumulated effect will explode.

"Sydney is already open, and there is no abnormality." A trader said.

Zhang Manyu sat up from the chair, walked a few steps, and came to the huge French window.

The hour hand slowly pointed to ten o'clock, and the Hong Kong stock market finally opened.

"The Hang Seng Index began to fall rapidly." A trader looked at the screen on his computer and couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhang Manyu didn't turn her head and looked at the huge city outside. Another stock market storm is coming, is it coming?

As soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index fell by 120 percent.

The stock market turmoil really started again. According to the time zone, it started one after another. First in the Asia-Pacific region, the stock market fell across the board, then in Europe, and then returned to New York.

Although New York's Monday is the last to arrive due to the international day change line, the whole world is interconnected. The stock markets in Hong Kong, Asia Pacific, and Europe have begun to fall, and the news has already reached the United States.

Although it's not yet time for the market to open, there are already countless stockholders waiting in front of the stock exchange or computers connected to the Internet, hoping that the stock will not fall too sharply.

Although some savvy people have learned their lesson and no longer invest all their funds in the stock market. Creditor's rights and real estate are their investment directions, but there are still some people who invest all their savings It made them even more uneasy.

However, compared to other countries, there is one thing that makes them feel a little more at ease in the US stock market, program trading!

This is to use computer programs to calculate stock price changes and trading strategies in real time. It became popular on Wall Street in the late 70s. Simply put, it is to entrust the task of stock trading to the computer. The set mechanism is added to sell stocks.

As long as the stock is sold as soon as the market opens, there will be no problems, right?

They can only comfort themselves in this way in their hearts, although they also faintly think that if they want to sell stocks, someone must buy them. If the stocks fall, who would dare to buy them.

Finally, the market opened.

Almost all netizens will never forget today, this Black Monday, the worst day in Wall Street history!

Just today, just like in 1929, the US stock market has ushered in another big crash.

Computers equipped with special programs were constantly being sold, and all the calls were busy. The New York Stock Exchange was cloudy and the atmosphere was tense.All stock prices have fallen wildly. This price change is so fast that even the speed displayed on the computer screen cannot keep up with the actual changes in the market.

The entire stock market has lost control. On this day, as an important indicator of the US economy, the Dow Jones Index fell by 21 points. The world's richest man, Sam Walton, lost [-] billion US dollars on this day.

Affected by the US stock market crash, stock markets in London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places also began to plummet, and the whole world was severely shaken.

Just when the stock market was in crisis, the major event that happened in Iraq's Saddam Port did not attract so much attention.

As a witness of the friendship between the two sides, two destroyers of the Soviet Navy visited Iraq traveling thousands of miles away.This shocked the West.Now, the Soviet Union is about to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. However, if the Soviet Union and Iraq have reached a closer relationship, then the Soviet Union may not need to go through Afghanistan or Pakistan to go south to the Indian Ocean.

Going from Iran is a closer option, as long as you go south from Khorasan.The current Rajawi zhèngfǔ completely listens to Iraq. As long as Iraq agrees, then the Soviet army will directly appear in the Indian Ocean.

The Middle East is rich in oil resources, and this is a battleground for military strategists. The Soviet Union has long wanted to insert its power here.

Could the withdrawal of the Soviet Union be the result of some kind of agreement with Iraq?

All of a sudden, with the visit of those two warships, all kinds of rumors have spread to the whole world.

However, the result of this incident was shocking.

The Iraqi side expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the Soviet warship. Even the Iraqi president personally went to Saddam's port and boarded the warship in person.

Although Iraq also has warships, none of them have a maximum displacement of [-] tons.The displacement of these two warships has reached more than [-] tons.

Qu Sai stood on the bridge, and below was a powerful anti-ship missile. Although in later generations, this missile was known as an aircraft carrier killer, in fact, it could not pose a threat to the aircraft carrier because the range was too short, but , it can definitely blow them up against other warships except for the aircraft carrier formation.

With the arrival of these warships, fifty 3M80 Sun anti-ship missiles will also arrive at the Iraqi naval base, but now, these two warships are still flying the flag of the Soviet Union.

"President Qusay, these two warships are brand new, and the speed of construction is almost half a year faster than our own use." Said Ye Ruofu, the naval colonel in charge of this mission. Before he came, he had already I have been operating on another modern-class ship in the Soviet Union for two years, and I have become the deputy captain.

"Thank you very much." Qu Sai said: "When we come down, it's time to let these two warships join our navy. We have to wrong the hundreds of naval soldiers who came with the ship and stay in Iraq for half a year first."

"There is no problem at all, they should be very honored to be here." Ye Ruofu said.

In China, everyone is envious of colleagues who can come to the Middle East. They are well paid and have good living conditions. They are all looking forward to coming to Iraq. Now, bring them here, even though they don’t know their mission yet. However, they all have to thank themselves, Ye Ruofu thought.

"Okay, then I will give the order." Qusay turned to his back, and Nasser, the deputy commander of the Iraqi Navy, said: "Because the Soviet Union has repeatedly defaulted on Iraq's debts, Iraq has decided to temporarily detain these two warships. If the Soviet Union cannot repay the debt, Then, Iraq will have the right to decide where the two warships go, including selling them or using them for themselves."

Following Nasser's order, a large number of Iraqi sailors began to board the two warships and took control of the two warships. This surprised the reporters on the shore. What is Iraq performing now?

Then, they heard a news that surprised them even more. The Iraqi government dared to touch the polar bear's buttocks and detain the two warships!

Chapter One Thousand and One Issuance of National Bonds

The cigar in his mouth was smoking non-stop. President Reagan could no longer feel the pleasure that smoking this cigar brought to his body and the clarity of his mind. His mind was a little chaotic now.

Now, it is already 1988. As long as he survives this year safely, his presidency will be perfect. Unfortunately, at this time, there is such a serious economic crisis!

After Reagan came to power, he began to implement his economic policies, lowering interest rates, expanding military expenditures, and increasing government deficits and national debts to temporarily solve the problem of social welfare, eliminate loopholes in tax rules, continue to deregulate business practices, and make the U.S. economy After a sharp decline in 1981 and 1982, it started a very strong growth in 1982.However, due to the continuous expansion of fiscal deficits and national debts, the crisis in their government is also getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, they had no choice but to depreciate the dollar, but it didn't have any effect, so they had to reduce military expenditures to deal with this danger.

After surviving a series of turmoil caused by the depreciation of the dollar, the U.S. economy began to improve again, and the stock market also began to rise. It seemed that the U.S. economy was on the right track, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the stock market unexpectedly experienced serious Decline!

In fact, this is an economic necessity. After the depreciation of the US dollar, it began to appreciate slowly. In the process, international hot money slowly entered the United States and helped the appreciation of US stocks. Only last year, foreign capital bought about 3000 billion US dollars in stocks However, they have begun to distrust the US economy, so when the stock market fluctuated slightly and began to decline, they all chose to withdraw their funds.

Stocks are originally a game that everyone plays together. Hello, me, everyone, there are buying and selling, and it rises steadily. However, when everyone starts to sell stocks, no one is willing to buy them. It will blow a thousand miles.

"James, what's going on with all this?" Reagan asked.

Treasury Secretary James Baker felt that he had been very unlucky all along. He originally thought that the devaluation of the dollar would improve the U.S. economy. However, he failed and managed to survive the gray period. For the better, the current problem has appeared again!

It must not be said that it is his own responsibility. As soon as James turned his head, he thought of an argument: "All of this is caused by program trading. Due to our advanced technology, we have realized the use of computers to automatically buy and sell stocks. Action, when the computer program sees the stock price drop, according to the mechanism set in the program, the computer joins in selling stocks, which creates a vicious circle, causing the stock price to fall faster, and the falling stock price makes the program sell more stocks. Our economy , there is no problem, it’s just that the temporary stock decline cannot be controlled. Last year, we accelerated our dependence on foreign capital, but our stock price fell, which led to foreign capital starting to leave our country, so today’s phenomenon happened .”

What James said was reasonable, and President Reagan nodded: "So, what countermeasures should we take?"

"As long as we can find a large amount of money again, plug this gap, we will survive this, and the economy will recover again." James said.

Since there is no problem with the U.S. economy, only the problem of capital flight, then as long as it attracts more funds, there will be no problem.
