Simon set out from China to return to the United States at 6:00 p.m. on October 15. He took about 12 hours to fly to Los Angeles. Due to time difference, the west coast of the United States was only 3:00 p.m. on October 15.
On the east coast, the North American stock market has closed.
Although the Dow Jones index was also affected, with the biggest drop of more than 4.3% in the whole day, it ended up with a slight drop of 1.6%. This trend gave many people the illusion that the surging Asian financial turmoil has become a breeze when it arrived in North America. Today's deep drop in the session is just an overreaction under the market panic.
Simon's not that optimistic.
Of course, it's impossible to talk too much to people.
Fortunately, according to the news from cersei capital, as a large amount of capital is still bullish on the Dow Jones index, today's intraday deep drop not only did not deter bulls, but also let more capital continue to bet long. As a result, cersei's fund management team, which insisted on short selling, established Dow Jones and S & P 500 index futures and other related companies with a scale of as high as $700 million in one day The short position of stock makes the total scale of all short positions of cersei fund management company for US stocks exceed 9 billion US dollars.
If history had not changed, by the end of October, the total size of relevant positions would certainly have exceeded 10 billion or more.
Unfortunately, Simon's reflexive influence is too strong.
Back in Los Angeles, Simon's first thing was to take a "work photo" at Daniels studios, which was posted on the official Facebook account of Daniels group, saying that he had left Asia, so everyone's panic could be eased a little.
Then, just an hour later, this work photo was transferred to all over the world, especially Asia, because the time difference had already entered. On the morning of October 16, newspapers and TV stations in various Asian countries and regions received urgent notices. In any case, Simon westero's work photo would appear and the topic would be made up casually.
Anyway, it is to send a signal: the disaster star is gone!
However, it is doomed to be in vain.
Some rational people understand that yesterday's sharp fall has officially started the second wave of storm, which has been brewing for a long time. In addition, panic has been formed. With or without the catalyst of westerlow effect, the continued decline of financial markets is inevitable.
Therefore, the opening on October 16 is still from Japan, and the decline of stock market, bond market and foreign exchange market continues.
The only consolation is that today's decline is not as fierce as yesterday's. the departure of a disaster star may have played a role.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help.
The focus of the game is the Hong Kong stock market, which closed down by 4.9% again on October 16. The Hang Seng index further dropped from 12526 points yesterday to 11912 points, which is not far from a 10000 point threshold disclosed by Soros to Simon.
However, on October 16, the biggest variable occurred in South Korea.
At 2 p.m. Seoul time, an hour before the closing of the South Korean stock market, faced with another sharp drop of more than 5% in the domestic stock market and close to US $90 billion in short-term foreign debt, compared with less than US $8 billion in cash reserves available to the South Korean Central Bank, the South Korean government suddenly announced that it would give up the protection of the exchange rate of the won.
Then, in just one hour, the South Korean won's decline reached 12% of the legal limit of South Korea. The exchange rate of the South Korean won against the US dollar dropped from 901 to 1009 to 1. Compared with the exchange rate of the South Korean won against the US dollar of about 800 in June, the accumulated depreciation of the South Korean won has reached 25% in more than three months.
This is obviously just the beginning.
The close relationship between Japan, South Korea and the United States in Asia is well known. Even the U.S. government can't sit still when the won is lost.
Because it's not just about the economy.
If South Korea's economy completely collapses, or even falls into decline, the strategic significance of the US chess piece in Northeast Asia will be greatly weakened.
As a result, at one o'clock in the morning on the east coast of the United States, many people in New York and Washington were woken up one after another, and then stayed up all night. According to Simon's subsequent news, Clinton also had a secret call with South Korean President Kim Yong San overnight to discuss a possible rescue plan.
Then, a few hours later, when the North American stock market opened, the Dow Jones index turned straight down as if it had been beaten.
In the first 37 minutes of trading, the Dow Jones index fell by 7% at this moment of the day after the first circuit breaker of the US stock market on the day of the NASDAQ crash on March 24 of the first half of the year, triggering the second circuit breaker of the US stock market after the establishment of the circuit breaker mechanism in the context of the 87 stock market disaster. The market was in a panic.
Fortunately, after 15 minutes of closing, the Dow Jones index finally slowed down and did not go straight to the second level of 13%.
The following day, on October 16, the Dow Jones index fell by 9.3% in the day, and finally ended with a 7.1% decline. The Dow Jones index also fell to 6799 points from 7319 points when it opened today, and fell back to the range of 6000 points.
Affected by the Dow's sharp fall, the S & P 500 index also fell 6.7% throughout the day, from 941 at the opening to 877, a short distance from the fusing standard.The NASDAQ index also fell by 5.3%, from 3839 points to 3635 points. The reason why it is the lowest among the three major U.S. stock indexes is that the NASDAQ index has nearly halved in the past six months.
Another.
Not counting Asia, not counting Soros, but cersei fund management's short position in North America. Because of the sharp fall on October 16, the book profit exceeded $600 million. Since the federal government is planning to take action, Simon is very clear that this wave of sharp decline can not last too long, so he told New York to start delivery as soon as possible after he got up that day.
At the same time, on this day, Simon had to move some of the work he planned to complete in Beijing to Los Angeles for processing. At the same time, he also focused on another thing, a global public relations strategy.
On the westerlow effect.
A little ridicule is enough, but Simon will never allow anyone to deliberately guide him to put the responsibility for the sharp fall in Asia or North America on him. The devastating financial turmoil in Asia will inevitably lead to the emergence of many social contradictions. If Simon is left alone, he is such a big target that some people are almost certain to do so in order to transfer contradictions.
Los Angeles.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the last piece of "chess piece" for South Korea was sent away. Girl a came in with George Norman, who was in charge of the private legal affairs of the Uygur family, put down a document from Washington and left quietly.
The document is about some results of Washington's consultations with Seoul today.
The South Korean government will formally ask the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help. As we all know, although the IMF is superficially neutral, it is actually controlled by the United States and implements the will of Washington.
Simon looked through the papers and exchanged a few words with Norman. Then he asked with a smile, "how's that going?"
George Norman also showed a smile: "I just met again in the morning. I can only say that there is no limit to greed. That man has not only added a series of additional conditions these days, but also wants to increase the amount to 250 million US dollars today, 250 million US dollars. I wonder, does he know what it means? "
"Yes, in Mexico, 100 dollars can even hire a killer, 250 million dollars, enough for an army."
George Norman's eyes jumped slightly and quickly pretended that he didn't hear anything.
Simon saw his silence, looked up and said with a smile, "you don't think I'm going to do this, do you?"
George Norman said solemnly, "I only do what I have to do."
Simon shrugged his shoulders, turned a page of his information and said, "in fact, he made the biggest mistake. Do you know what it is?"
"Well?"
"He wanted to imitate the Jackson case, but he forgot to make sure that Simon westero was a good man?"
George Norman didn't know how to answer.
Simon did not wait for Norman's reply, but continued: "Michael is a good man, a very good man, as everyone who has ever come into contact with him knows. Therefore, in the face of bad people's evil, he will be at a loss, resulting in his reputation destroyed, almost collapsed. Now, even if the father and son jump out to clarify that they framed him for money, many members of the public will no longer believe that in his life, until his death, he will bear a reputation that most ordinary people can't even mention, poor fellow. "
Simon looked up at George Norman again and said, "George, do you believe Michael is innocent?"
George Norman gave a pause and didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "what Michael should have noticed at the beginning is that he is too close to the children. However, I can understand that Michael likes Peter Pan very much. He always wants to be a child instead of an adult."
Simon said with a smile, "so you don't believe it, do you?"
George Norman's expression was slightly unnatural: "Simon, I don't know much about that."
"I believe Michael is innocent," Simon said. "Because I'm a bad person, I'm good at understanding the logic of bad people's behavior. After that, the Chandlers got more than 20 million dollars. You know, it's a lot of money. Imagine other children who have been in contact with Michael and their parents, don't they feel excited?"
George Norman said, "should I?"
"So, according to my bad logic, what the excited children and their parents should do is to unite together to file a class action suit against Michael. Even if they can't get 20 million, several million or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, they can still get it, right?"
George Norman nodded, a little suddenly.
Simon still looked at the information in front of him and said, "as a result, those people didn't do that. Instead, many children and parents stood up to speak for Michael and prove his innocence. Why do you think that is?"George Norman didn't hesitate this time and said, "because they're good people, too."
"Yes, in this world, good people always suffer a lot, and those children and parents even resist the temptation of a lot of money in order to insist on their own good," Simon said with a little sigh, and then became a little cold: "unfortunately, I'm not a good person."
George Norman didn't take up the subject. Instead, he asked, "Simon, how long will it take me?"
"Soon," Simon's tone turned to flat again: "what you have to do next is to deal with the rest of the spears family. Don't let them follow. How can bad people do so well?"
George Norman nodded: "I understand."
