Victory in Life
Chapter 182
While the market was delayed for a lunch break, it gave a break for everyone in Harbor City shrouded in gloomy clouds.
Just then, people suddenly realized that this storm had not come without warning.
In the United States across the ocean, a similar situation occurred.
The entire dot-com bubble is erupting all over the world.
It originated in the United States and slowly spread to Europe and Terra, sweeping across the globe, every stock market in every country and region affected.
Everyone who enters the high-priced stock market now has to pay a tragic price for their impulsive decision.
Nearly a trillion U. S. dollars had been lost in global stock markets on the first trading day the bubble erupted.
Flood reports brought the latest news to the citizens of Harbor City, and the readers felt their scalps tingled in fear.
Harbor City has yet to fully recover from the financial tsunami three years ago, and this is where with the dot-com bubble bursting, many people grew gray overnight because of this.
With unprecedented chaos occurring in the background, all sorts of monsters and demons began to lurk.
Some so-called stock review experts on economic channels frantically advocate how the current crisis is only a temporary adjustment and that everyone should maintain their defenses so that they do not spread and create more panic ...
It was as if someone was willing to listen to them at this moment.
Seeing the stock price drop by the minute and the names of the stocks marching at the lower limit, everyone was worried that they would lose the money they had invested into the market, he said, people were moody and they started thinking about how they could get out of that situation.
No matter how the outside world thought about and understood the situation, Jasper followed Zachary and Michael back to the living room which was their battleground after lunch.
"Say Uncle Law, if the economy of Harbor City really faces irreversible losses, will the wealthy families of Harbor City save the city? ask Jasper.
Zachary replied without a doubt, "Yes, or at least most of us will, just like the economic crisis three years ago, most of Harbor City's wealthy businessmen teamed up to defend against the invasion of western investors"
"City Harbor is our home after all and no one is excluded, if the economy of Harbor City is destroyed, then our rich families will also not be reliable, balancing the pros and cons, he said, I think most people will be able to tell which one is more important."
"Let's see how it goes first." Jasper sighed.
Although Zachary promised it, Jasper couldn't help but think that there were more to this incident.
If the mysterious force's target is the Harbor City economy, then it makes no sense for them to ignore the power of the Harbor City's wealthy family.
The biggest problem now was that the enemy was in the dark, Jasper did not have enough clues to continue
However, Jasper also had an advantage as great as his opponent-hidden identity, his only consolation being that his opponent also did not know enough about himself.
That afternoon, the market reopened on time.
As Jasper expected, after a short lunch break, the rising position funds were collected and the battle began to focus on a few representative stocks.
Since it has only been a few minutes since the market reopened, the two sides are still trading back and forth.
This gives investors a lot of hope and revives their confidence in the market.
However, people in the industry like Jasper knew that this was just a beam of light before death befell.
As expected, ten minutes after the market reopens, there seems to be no end to the funds from the buy position, the people of the rising position cannot hold it anymore and their defensive line falls again.
This time, it was a rapid decline.
Hansel's index dropped 500 points.
The rushing water in the river suddenly turned into a waterfall that fell from the cliff, splashing everywhere like an avalanche, and nothing could stop the attack from a short position.
"Market's down!"
Jasper suddenly spoke, staring at the spectacular scene of pure and tragic green on the screen, almost every stock was down.
