    In other words, when everything was arranged under the command of Zhao Zhenbei in August, the U.S. stock market had actually reached its highest peak in history, reaching more than 2,700 points. Unfortunately, not many investors could see it at this time.  The crisis hidden behind this prosperous stock market.

    Zhao Zhenbei knew that it was time to place an order. The highest Dow Jones index was 2,722 points, while the S&P 500 index was 487 points. In my memory, before Black Monday, October 19, the Dow Jones index fell to 2,200 points, and  The S&P 500 Index fell to around 282 points.

    Each point in Dow Jones futures is worth $10, and each point in S&P 500 futures is worth $250.

    If you enter the market now, the face value of each Dow Jones Standard Index futures contract is 2722*10=27220 US dollars. According to the 10% margin, the actual purchase amount of each contract is 2722 US dollars. Before Black Monday, each contract can earn  Withdraw 522*10=5200 US dollars, which is less than 200% profit.

    If you switch to S&P 500 Index futures, the face value of each contract is 250*487=121,750 US dollars, and the actual purchase amount of each contract is 12,175 US dollars. Before Black Monday, each contract can earn 250*205=51,250  USD, the profit is over 400%.

    If you want to add the drop on Black Monday, the Dow Jones index fell another 500 points, and each contract would have a profit of almost 180%. Even if the S&P 500 index futures does not calculate the drop on Black Monday, the Dow Jones index will  The profit of futures is still not as good as that of S&P 500 Index futures, not to mention that the S&P 500 Index futures earned 250*80=20,000 US dollars more per contract that day!

    Anyone who can do math will make the choice. Of course, he first chose to invest in S&P 500 Index futures. Zhao Zhenbei sent the order and the 5,000 accounts were divided into ten batches to open orders one after another. There were 500 accounts every day, and each account opened an order.  One thousand December S&P 500 futures short orders.

    On the five trading days of the first week of August, 500,000 short selling orders were sold on each trading day. Although this amount is a bit large, when many investors are bullish, 2.5 million short selling orders are still  The transaction was completed quickly, and everyone who took the order thought they had found a treasure. If they sold short at this time, didn't they just give money?

    However, when the first trading day of the second week began and there were still 500,000 December S&P 500 Index futures short selling orders on the market, investors began to hesitate.  The number of people taking orders immediately dropped by more than half. By the third trading day, no one dared to take short selling orders for December S&P 500 futures.

    As a result, in terms of S&P 500 Index futures, only more than 3.5 million short-selling contracts were completed in 5,000 accounts, leaving about 20 billion in funds. Zhao Zhenbei asked traders to start from the second day of August.  Zhou started selling short-selling contracts on the Dow Jones Index futures. By the end of August, all the 20 billion funds were exchanged for short-selling contracts on the Dow Jones Index futures.

    Zhao Zhenbei knows very well that as much as 63 billion funds entering the market for short selling will definitely put great pressure on the market and may even attract the attention of the US government. However, Zhao Zhenbei is not afraid.  This investment in stock and index futures is completely legal investment.

    If the stock index really falls, the losers will not be the U.S. government itself, but the investors who took over the short-selling contracts. Most of these investors are financial investment companies with a market value of billions or even tens of billions.  There are mortgaged funds in banks. When the position is liquidated, banks will naturally help with the liquidation. Zhao Zhenbei is not worried about not receiving the money.

    In the eyes of many people, the U.S. stock market in August was calm. In the eyes of financial investment experts, when the stock market has risen to this point, it will take some time to digest the accumulated energy. After the consolidation is completed,  , the possibility of continuing to hit new highs is very high.

    However, a total of 60 billion short-selling orders have recently emerged in the futures market, making most investment experts not so optimistic about the U.S. stock market. Only those gunmen sent by financial investment companies to take the short-selling orders  Experts are still preaching that the future of the stock market will continue to sing triumphant songs.

    Affected by the Hong Kong Star Group's more than 60 billion short-selling contract, the U.S. stock market fell at a faster rate from September to October than in history. In early October, the Dow Jones Index fell from more than 2,700 points to 2,300 points.  Not long after, the S&P 500 Index also fell from more than 480 points to more than 380 points, a drop of 7% and 10% more than in history.

    Shortly after the fall of 1987, the finance ministers of the seven countries met again in Washington. Treasury Secretary Baker once again urged partners from industrial countries to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit. This time, he did not receive any support from other countries.Supported by investors, Wall Street has begun to fluctuate sharply under these factors.

    On October 14, the U.S. government announced that the goods trade deficit in August was US$15.7 billion, which was US$1.5 billion higher than the financial community¡¯s estimate. As a result, US dollars began to be sold off in the foreign exchange market.

    At this time, Hong Kong Star Investment Company had made a total profit of more than 120 billion US dollars from the short-selling contracts of futures index futures. At this time, except for the short-selling contracts accepted by the relatively large financial investment companies, the short-selling contracts had not yet been accepted.  In addition to forced liquidation, other contracts were basically liquidated because the margin was insufficient.

    By October 9, Zhao Zhenbei had already ordered twenty traders, and Zhao Zhendong took ten of them to Sydney, Australia, to prepare to take charge of Australia's common stock index futures operations, and at the same time transferred about 20 billion US dollars in funds.  , through several accounts in Swiss banks, he entered 5,000 accounts that had opened Sydney futures trading, and began to sell Australian common stock index futures short-selling contracts in batches.

    And Zhao Zhennan took ten other traders to London. This time he brought 40 billion pounds, which is 50 billion US dollars, and used the 5,000 futures accounts that had been opened by the London Futures Exchange to start a large number of  Short selling contracts on London Financial Times Index futures.

    Finally, on the fifth trading day of the second week of October, that is, when the trading ended on October 16, the traders led by Zhao Zhendong and Zhao Zhennan had only completed 80% of their tasks, and there were still nearly 15 billion  No one dares to accept the short selling contract of the US dollar.

    On the same day, the Dow Jones index fell by 95 points, and then fell by 108 points on October 16. On the morning of October 18, Treasury Secretary Baker announced on a US TV program: If the Federal Republic of Germany does not lower interest rates, the United States will consider letting the dollar continue to fall.  All kinds of bad news come one after another, casting a shadow over people's psychology.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
