After several calls, he couldn't get through, and Dong Qiangqiang's bad thoughts became more and more serious. He thought for a while and dialed Lao Bai's number directly.
Lao Bai apparently also watched the live broadcast and said "it's terrible" several times in a row. Dong Qiangqiang had no time to sigh and said straight to the point: "My ex-girlfriend is in New York, but I can't contact her and no one answers the phone. I'm worried about her safety. Can you call her for me? If she answers you Please tell her to keep her phone on standby and wait for my call."
Although Lao Bai didn't know what the relationship between Dong Qiangqiang and his ex-girlfriend was, he also knew that the current matter was urgent. Without saying anything, he immediately started dialing according to Dong Qiangqiang's request.
Dong Qiangqiang thought that the more people calling at this time, the better, maybe someone could get through. Thinking of this, he called Wang Shunan, Lei Lanting, Tong Lele and Dong Yiqing respectively.
He was about to notify Duanmu for help when his parents called from China. Dong's mother worriedly told Dong Qiangqiang to pay attention to his personal safety. Dong Qiangqiang knew his parents' worries and hurriedly comforted him with good words. After a strong persuasion, his parents' worries were relieved.
Almost as soon as he hung up the phone to his parents, a mobile phone number that Dong Qiangqiang had never seen came in at every opportunity.
"Who?" Dong Qiangqiang was in a bad mood and asked directly in German without caring about politeness.
"Me." Different from his loud and carefree voice every time, Duanmu spoke extraordinarily softly this time, as if he was afraid that others would overhear him, "Did you watch TV? Something happened in New York..."
"Why did you use this mobile phone number?" Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "I watched the broadcast, and the truth is that I just have something to ask you for help. I have a college classmate who is studying in New York, but I can't contact her. Can you help me? Shall we call her together? Right now."
"It's okay to make a phone call, but there is something else you must do immediately without delay." Duanmu didn't wait for him to ask, and immediately ordered in an unquestionable tone, "Sell all the stocks in your hand as soon as possible, and you won't lose any money." If you want to sell, the sooner the better, otherwise you will only lose more in the future.”
Dong Qiangqiang's mind is not on stocks at all right now: "I'm not at the computer right now. We'll talk about stocks later. You can call someone for me first. I have an urgent matter. Something may have happened to my classmate."
"Old Dong, do you know what's going on now?" Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was completely unaware of the urgency and importance of his reminder, Duanmu couldn't help but lectured, "Do you think this is an air crash? U.S. stocks plummeted across the board as soon as they opened. , that is a capital market with no price limit. Do you know what that means? The German stock market was still singing a triumphant song this morning, but now it has fallen so low that no one can even see it. I just sold all the stocks I held. Sold it, I remember you still have Volkswagen common shares, right? Listen to me and sell it quickly. In addition, I have to tell you one more thing." Duanmu lowered his voice and said, "The German you found wrote it for you. The program is really awesome, and it is completely consistent with the prediction made by our company's stock analysis system: when encountering such misfortune, listed airlines will bear the brunt, and they will definitely not run away if there is bad luck, followed by listed insurance companies, they are Brothers in distress."
Dong Qiangqiang gradually became angry after hearing what he said endlessly. Over there, Duanmu was still talking to himself: "I just checked, Munich Re Insurance Company of Germany, Swiss Re Insurance Company and Lloyd's of London Insurance Company. The stocks of all three companies have plummeted. It is already September, and 2001 will pass in more than three months. The financial reports of these companies this year will definitely be in vain. And I just heard from our company’s legal counsel that Global Insurance The industry does not yet have an insurance system against terrorist attacks. To put it bluntly, the insurance company will not be able to calculate the compensation this time. The compensation is likely to be astronomical. The German stock market is not like the US stock market. Short selling, so in this case you can only buy put options. I just swiped my credit card, allined all my girlfriend’s savings and all the money I could borrow, and bought a total of almost 240,000 marks of Munich Re 3-month put option. Munich Re’s share price this morning was 600 marks per share. When I bought its 3-month put option, it was still 6 marks per share. Now it’s 7.8 marks per share. I won’t have any floating profit on the book. I'll tell you the details. But believe me, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, and you will definitely be financially free in one go..."
Dong Qiangqiang was anxious to ask Duanmu to make a phone call for him, so he kept patiently, but Duanmu kept calculating money with him. When he heard that he compared the plane crash to a "once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity," Dong Qiangqiang finally couldn't hold it back and felt a surge of anger in his chest. He shouted into his mobile phone: "What do you call this? A money-making opportunity?" Do you have any conscience?" He threw the phone to the lawn angrily, gasping for air, and felt his eyes going black.
Duanmu had never seen or heard Dong Qiangqiang get angry before, and he didn't know why Dong Qiangqiang was so angry today. After a long time, he stared at his phone and muttered to himself: "Why do I have no conscience? I kindly tell you a money-making opportunity. Are you still angry with me? Are you crazy?"
Dong Qiangqiang was eager to know if Chen Yu was okay. He didn't dare to neglect at that moment, jumped into the pickup truck, and returned home in a hurry.
Although I don’t have a TV at home, I still have the Internet. I don’t even have to look for it when I turn on my computer. Every website is full of coverage with pictures and texts.
He called Chen Yu's parents again, but what made him sad was that Chen Yu's parents were also anxious about being unable to contact Chen Yu.
He could only continue to dial Chen Yu's cell phone frantically, and at the same time sent her an email as quickly as possible.
As soon as the letter was sent, TRB Bank's financial investment consultant called and gently reminded him of the recent volatility in the stock market.
He casually opened his stock account. Although Duanmu's words were irritating, he was indeed telling the truth. The German stock market had fallen to such an extent that it was unbelievable. The DAX rose a little over 100 points in the morning. By the time the market closed in the afternoon, it had dropped more than 400 points from the opening, and at its peak, it had dropped 550 points.
Unlike the domestic stock market, the German stock market is marked with red for falling and green for rising. At this moment, the DAX blue-chip stocks are all red, which is particularly dazzling.
In Dong Qiangqiang’s memory, a drop of 550 points in one day seemed to have never happened before in the history of DAX, but he never imagined that this seemingly unbreakable record did not last long. In less than ten years, another even more terrifying event happened. The decline was easily surpassed.
Until the lights outside the window came on, no one called Dong Qiangqiang, while Chen Yu's phone remained silent.
Dong Qiangqiang's heart gradually sank. For the first time, he was genuinely afraid of something. He kept comforting himself that Chen Yu might not have gone to the interview at all, or that the interview did not go well and left the area quickly, but none of these could explain why she didn't answer the phone. Maybe she dropped her phone on the road, or maybe she forgot her phone when she went out. Dong Qiangqiang quickly found a new reason.
But it is a pity that even he himself does not believe these so-called reasons.
The computer screen flashed with pale light, and on the web page, bright red numbers representing the number of victims were constantly jumping.
There was deathly silence in the room.
