On September 15, Tan Xiaotian and Tan Mingyan were rafting on Lake Lucerne.

Lake Lucerne is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland. It is surrounded by green mountains, the sky and lake water are blue, and white clouds are reflected on the water surface. It is impossible to tell where the sky is and where the water is, and the scenery is excellent.

"Husband, it's so beautiful here!"

"Husband, look, there are sheep on the hillside over there."

Tan Mingyan was very excited, but Tan Xiaotian was a little absent-minded.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Mingyan, with thick lines, finally found something wrong with Tan Xiaotian and asked strangely.

"Nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Tan Mingyan glanced at him deeply, and she felt that Tan Xiaotian was perfunctory to her.

Dingling... Before she could continue asking questions, Tan Xiaotian's cell phone made a rapid sound.

"Xiaotian, Lehman Brothers just filed for bankruptcy protection, and now the whole Wall Street is shocking. Wolf, it's coming."

Selena's voice was calm and calm, and there was a hint of sudden realization.

She finally understood that what Tan Xiaotian did before might be waiting for this moment to come.

"I see."

"What should we do next?"

"Wait until the whole market panics, we take advantage of the low price."

"Okay, I understand."

Tan Mingyan heard Tan Xiaotian was talking to a woman. Although she spoke English, her vigilance suddenly rose to the highest point.

But before she could react, Tan Xiaotian's phone rang again.

"Tan Sheng, I am Li Jiazhong."

This time it's Cantonese.

"Oh, Uncle Wu, is there anything wrong?"

Li Jiazhong's voice was filled with ecstasy, "Than Sheng, Tan Sheng, the US Lehman Brothers Bank filed for bankruptcy protection, and the major stock indexes took a sharp turn. Fortunately, I heard you, otherwise the Li family would be in trouble this time. This is all your credit."

"Hehe, Uncle Wu, you are polite, you're just lucky."

"Tan Sheng, what should we do in the future?"

"I guess a big financial crisis is inevitable. Let's wait and wait until the time is right to enter the market to pick up bargains."

"Everything is yours."

Just as Tan Xiaotian was calling, people kept calling.

He had just hung up Li Jiazhong's phone call, and Liu Jing's phone came in instantly.

Her voice was trembling, "Boss, something big happened, Lehman Brothers Bank went bankrupt, Wall Street is in chaos now, the stock market is soaring. Fortunately, after hearing you, Jinxiu cleared her stock account."

"It's okay, sleep for you. By the way, I guess you will have nothing to do for a while. Why not give you a big vacation and have fun."

Then, Ruan Si called in, her voice was as shocked as Liu Jing.

"Boss, you are so amazing. The international financial market is turbulent and the oil price has plummeted. Fortunately, you asked me to short crude oil futures before, but we made a lot of money this time."

"Haha, this is the advice given to me by American experts, not my credit. It is expected that the world economy will not recover for at least three months, and oil prices will fall. You can take this opportunity to reserve some crude oil."

Tan Mingyan was suspicious of the first woman to call in at first, but Tan Xiaotian's phone number was one on the left and one on the right, and she said the same thing. Lehman Brothers Bank went bankrupt, and she quickly eliminated her suspicion.

Even though she didn't understand finance, she could tell from this series of calls that a very big incident had happened.

How big is this matter?

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch, the third largest investment bank, was acquired by Bank of America.

Affected by this, the three major stock indexes in the New York stock market fell sharply on the 15th, setting the largest single-day decline since the September 11th incident.

Throughout September, a total of 15 banks in the United States went bankrupt during this crisis, and the world's three largest automobile manufacturers were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Stock markets in Eurasia collapsed, gold and oil prices plummeted, major oil exporting countries cut production, economic development speed of various countries slowed down, and economic recessions even occurred in countries such as the United Kingdom.

A global financial crisis is coming.

Tan Xiaotian answered the phone call for more than an hour, but in the end he couldn't stand it and had to turn off the phone.

He stood up from the boat, stretched his waist, then lit a cigarette, and looked at the blue sky and clear water of Lake Lucerne, and fell into deep thought.

After so long, when the day finally arrived, he didn't feel any happy.

Tan Mingyan squeezed to him timidly, "Husband, has something happened?"

Tan Xiaotian pinched her face, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Tan Mingyan was completely confused, and she could not see any signs of good things at all.

“Then what are we doing next?

Are you going back to China?”

“Why return home?

Keep traveling around! We are not the ones who are anxious."

Yes! He is indeed not in a hurry, but at this moment, there are thousands of people in the world who are anxious.

When Wall Street was in dire straits, it was still late at night in Yanjing.

Jing Linjia was sleeping soundly and was awakened by a rapid phone ring. He answered the phone unhappily. He only said a few words from the other side. Jing Linjia immediately broke out in a cold sweat, turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes and pants, and went out directly.

Half an hour later, he appeared in Guoheng Capital's office.

Although it was late at night, the offices were brightly lit, and the people inside were all red in their eyes, staring at the cliff-like index on the computer screen.

Jing Linjia pushed the door and entered, and the person inside stood up like a conditioned reflex.

Jing Linjia didn't have time to say anything else, so he rushed to the monitor, and just took a look, his heart began to jump wildly.

"how so?"

A person in charge cried and said, "Chairman, Lehman Brothers Bank is bankrupt. Now the United States is in chaos. Everyone is selling stocks frantically, and they can't stop it."

"Then we sell it too."

Jinglin Jiaxin made a fuss. Anyway, I made a lot of profits in the early stage, so it’s not too late to sell now.

"It's too late, no one takes over in this situation."

The person in charge tried to explain a few words, but Jing Linjia could not listen to anything at all and shouted: "How did you know that no one took over the market, sell it for me!"

The person in charge did not dare to openly disobey his orders and began to operate in a hurry.

But as he said, when his buying orders were played, he was instantly submerged in a tide of orders. Now the market is falling immeasurably. At this time, no one is going to take over as a sucker, and everyone is scrambling to break the market and flee.

The sweat on Jing Linjia's forehead never stopped. He rummaged through his pockets and wanted to find a cigar, but he was too hasty when he came out and didn't bring it.

"Who has smoke?"

He looked around fiercely.

Soon someone handed him a cigarette, and he took a big sip, like a dying fish.

After smoking a cigarette, he calmed down slightly.

"What should we do now?"

The person in charge turned his head, looked at the sky outside, and said dejectedly: "The market is about to close. We can only hope that the market will stabilize tomorrow. Apart from that, there is no good way."

"Old Yu, you have been following me for a day or two. Give me a clear idea. How much will our losses be estimated at the worst?"

Because of the tension, Jing Linjia's muscles on his cheeks were tightly tight.

The person in charge of Yu kept wiping his sweat, "Chairman, if we just use our own money, then all the profits in the early stage will be consumed, and the principal will be lost at least half of it, but..." He glanced at Jing Linjia, "You have used ten times the leverage now. If the market continues to move down, we will be forced to close the position. The best result is bankruptcy, a little more serious..." He saw Jing Linjia's dead face, and did not dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Jing Linjia has been engaged in the banking industry for many years, so how could he not know that if the market still cannot be stopped, his principal cannot be kept, and he will sign a large sum of money in the financing company.
