After inspecting Delphi, William returned to Halifax City under the protection of Hunk.
Not long after he got home to rest, he got some breaking news.
That is, Lehman Brothers's stock market began to plummet within a few days, from the original highest trading price of 120 to soaring to 50.
The reason is that some people have done something similar to William a year ago.
Short selling and dumping.
High-end investors seem to have sensed a crisis and sold their stocks at the highest point, or borrowed shares from securities companies and then sold them.
This move panicked investors, who followed suit and sold.
Such actions appeared like dominoes on the heads of other listed companies, directly causing turmoil in the stock market.
In addition, news has begun to report that a large number of subprime mortgages have emerged due to the proliferation of credit, which has caused investment banks to be unable to collect loans.
All these factors have caused the United States, which relies heavily on borrowing, to fall into turmoil.
People at this time recall William.
The founder of Umbrella seemed to know that these things would happen in advance.
Immediately began to analyze the various previous operations of William.
Such as becoming the major shareholder of Apple, Microsoft, various arms companies, etc.
For investors to conclude that William would do this, there must be some deep-seated reason.
Immediately afterwards, stock investors began to follow suit, either continuing to sell the stocks of lending banks, or buying stocks of companies such as Apple and Microsoft.
In just one week, the market value of the company in which William holds shares doubled.
As for the mentally retarded people at Wall Street, they were actually divided into two groups.
A group of people instantly fell into Umbrella's arms, saying William's previous behavior was a reminder to everyone.
A prophet and pioneer.
As for the group of people who insist on blackmail, they can only spray William. Why don't you just say it directly so that investors can be mentally prepared.
While William was working at home, he felt dumbfounded when he saw the reports complaining about him.
He didn't make any secrets when he sold Lehman Brothers's shares a year ago, and he didn't need to explain anything to the general public.
Moreover, even if he does issue a statement to remind you that there will be a crisis next year, it will be a bubble economy, so hurry up and save money to prepare for it.
No one would believe it.
Following USA's consistent style, they would first mock William, and then say:
"We in the United States have the ability to withstand any crisis! We have the most complete system!"
Wait.
But now it's useless to say anything, William has already made a lot of money.
And the 30 billion that William gained from selling Lehman Brothers is still in the account untouched.
In addition, there are about 10 billion remaining system funds, and the upcoming update reset.
Subtracting the necessary amount to maintain fleet construction and normal company operations, William will have 60 billion available capital on hand.
Everything I do is for this moment.
Follow the trajectory of Original World...
US Government adhered to the policy of not intervening in the stock market, and Librarian and the United States miscalculated that Lehman Brothers and other investment banks were "too big to fail", which directly led to the complete collapse of 2008.
In the end, 700 billion from the national treasury had to be used to rescue the market.
This is the original course of the financial crisis.
The current crisis in William is similar to but different from Original World. For example, the stock price of Lehman Brothers plummeted several months in advance, etc.
But this doesn't matter.
He wants to use the US$60 billion to "waste" it first.
US Government Didn't it take a year to bail out the market?
Then William will 'help' everyone tide over the difficulties one year in advance, stabilize the stock price and the restless hearts of investors.
After all, he is flattered by investors as a 'prophet' and has a strong influence.
So this day, September 1, 2007.
William spoke at Spring Garden Road (Spring Garden Rd) at Halifax City.
He said Umbrella would selflessly assist the volatile stock market and hoped to cooperate with major companies to save themselves.
Regarding William's speech, the vast majority of capitalists despised it.
It's too late to stay out of it.
Want to save the market with your Umbrella? Give up on this idea.
Moreover, these people believe that William, who is also a capitalist, is definitely pretending to deceive the masses.
William dares to be truly selfless, then the capitalists will eat shit live.
The fact is...
On September 2, the day after William delivered his speech, a total of 50 billion yuan was invested in the stock market.
Although the effect is not very obvious, it has greatly encouraged the restless hearts of stock investors, and even believes that Umbrella is more reliable than the government.
Seeing this, capitalists will not really eat shit.
Instead, due to the pressure of various public opinions and the fear that his company would plummet due to poor reputation, he had no choice but to be pulled into the rescue by William.
This is exactly the result William hoped for.
He is not afraid of running out of money and will still make up for it in a few months.
But other companies that are capable of competing with Umbrella do not have such a so-called system. If their liquidity is invested in the stock market, they will really disappear.
When global companies fell into quagmire, Umbrella took the opportunity to annex them.
By then those giants will have no room to resist.
William must use force and economic means to completely control the entire world. Only in this way can the technology and power of all mankind be gathered to help him contain those abnormal phenomena.
Time: October 11, 2007.
Location: Athens, the capital of Greece.
William, with his hair slicked back and wearing an exquisite suit, was standing on the podium at a certain venue.
On both sides of the podium were a number of senior officials of the Greek government, including their president, Mr. Carolos·Papplias.
At the front of the podium are Hunk and the Alphas who are protecting William. Beyond that are a group of reporters who are raising their hands to ask questions.
William Vision walked around with a smile on his face, and finally his eyes fell on a female reporter who looked more pleasing to the eye.
He waved his hand to the other party in an aristocratic manner and said, "Miss, tell me about your problem."
The female reporter also stood up politely, looked at the draft in her hand and asked:
"Hello, Mr. Russell.
I want to know why you, as a Canadian and your ancestors are British aristocrats, immediately helped Greece declare bankruptcy?
Shouldn't you first help your motherland, or the birthplace of your ancestors?
Thank you."
"Haha." William chuckled and explained quietly:
"The stock market in my home country is very stable, and the people trust the government and Umbrella, so there is no problem in getting through this crisis.
In the UK, there are still many families who are helping and supporting them, but as long as they ask for help, I will be there to help.
As for Greece, known as the cradle of Western civilization, it is a country I have longed for for a long time.
Of course, you are also the only country to declare bankruptcy.
As Umbrella regards customers as her most valuable asset, she will help them selflessly as long as she can.
So, here I come."
