Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 13 Half a Year



After a few days of delay in Hartford, William was protected by the USS such as Hank and returned to New York, which is only lower in latitude than Hafa.

Because of William's identity as a traveler, of course he knew about the subprime mortgage financial crisis that swept the world in 2007.

And the originating company of the crisis, Lehman Brothers Investment Bank.

This time he went to Wall Street on Manhattan Island and, taking advantage of Umbrella's existing good reputation, borrowed all of Lehman Brothers shares from every securities firm there.

for two years.

That is to say, when the time comes, William needs to return the same number of shares and interest to the securities company.

For securities companies, they only think that William is a fool and has a lot of money.

Lehman Brothers now traded at a high of $69 and was slowly increasing every day, and those securities firms knew that William wanted to short Lehman.

But now the domestic situation in the United States is very good, and the economy has achieved unprecedented prosperity.

In particular, the property of Lehman Company belongs to the big brother of investment, and it is impossible for the stock price to plummet.

In 2008, it will cost more to buy the stock back.

Will pay in blood.

The brokerage wouldn't ask, but William wouldn't explain it either.

He knows a formula:

One person's expenses = another person's income.

All factors aside, make a simple example;

Xiao A's monthly salary is 2,000, but Xiao A's monthly credit limit is 1,000.

Then Xiao A's monthly expenditure is 3000.

Xiao B's income will be 3000, and the credit limit will still be 1000.

Then the monthly expenditure of small B is 4000.

And so on.

Everything is uplifting.

Everything is tied to borrowing.

The reason why things are so good in the United States is that everyone thinks they can pay their debts.

Even banks have become blind, no longer investigating whether borrowers have good credit, and starting to lower interest rates.

Once borrowing is formed, there will be cycles.

The cycle will go up and eventually it will go down.

If something special happens and people can't pay their debts, the bank can't get the money back.

Then it will collapse like a domino.

And now the United States is at the peak of the cycle.

Authorities fans.

Most people on Wall Street didn't find it at all, and those who found it didn't say anything, just squinted.

Because that group of people had the same idea as William, they were eager to come to the financial crisis to make a fortune.

crisis, crisis.

Where there is danger, there is opportunity.

This is also the reason why William was so unhappy with the capitalists before he crossed.

But in the end, he also became that person.

'The dragon slayer eventually turned into a dragon. ’

But William has his own goals.

He needs money, a lot of money to control capital, to ensure that he can let his hands and feet work when special events occur later.

Another stop on the Wall Street trip is to take a stake in Apple.

Now the highest trading price of Apple is only 18 US dollars, compared with the original price of more than 300 in the world, it is simply heaven and earth.

The existing Apple stock issuance is 1.5 billion, and if the average price per share is 15 yuan, William is fully capable of becoming the sole shareholder.

Of course, this is very unrealistic, but being the largest shareholder is never a problem.

And Steve Jobs is still alive.

It is also developing the ios system and the latest smartphones. It only takes time to become a company with a market value of trillions.

For the sudden and most powerful shareholder, Apple's sensible meeting was dumbfounded.

Inviting him to attend the board meeting, the mysterious shareholder only said:

It's business as usual, as long as it's still under the leadership of Steve Jobs.

And William is also in private contact with Jobs, making an appointment for Halsey to see a doctor.

Knowing that the Godfather was battling a pancreatic tumor, William pinned his hopes on Halsey.

Facts have proved that this talented female doctor of medicine does have a way to extend the life of the other party.

Although it cannot be cured, it also guarantees that Jobs' situation will not suddenly take a turn for the worse.

During their time in the United States, William and Umbrella caused quite a stir, and made various capitalists notice their existence.

He is not afraid of anything now. The money the system gives him is completely reasonable. After all, the former Russell was one of the largest families in England and even the world.

In addition, the twentieth century Sears Russell is also a man of the hour.

All circles only think that William Russell inherited his grandfather's will and started to revitalize the family again.

While William was busy in America, Umbrella's other departments were not idle either.

The engineering team led by Wang Zhaofeng quickly completed the construction of the private base with the bonus of stunts, without delaying the progress of the hive and shelter.

Andre also sent a group of plainclothes around the Americas, looking for the right people to recruit.

Because of William's previous rule of no bottom line, Halsey extracted the genes of all armed branches.

In the end, she also used Andre's genes to clone an unconscious body for T-virus and vaccine trials.

Further research needs to be done after the hive is built, but the wait won't be too long.

DiMarco also officially changed its name to Umbrella Arms Company, with all equipment and more than 100 employees from Ontario to Nova Scotia.

With the friendly greetings from Andre and other UBCS, a contract with generous benefits was signed.

Since then, the employees of the arms company have not complained at all, and even felt that the faces of Andre and the group of UBCS were really amiable.

And Halsey took the time to go to the arms company and handed over the concept and design drawings of optical camouflage technology to the other party.

She easily remodeled the production workshop to produce more weapons than guns.

As for William, he was still protected by Hank and other USS and went to Toulouse in Europe, France.

From Airbus, paid 'a little' more for an off-the-shelf A380 and hired a dedicated crew.

And signed a series of maintenance contracts.

With a private jet, William feels only one word...

Cool!

On an international flight, you can sleep how you want, which is not comparable to first-class cabins.

After a fortnight in France, William went to his last stop, Ukraine.

Because there is a huge amount of arms for sale there.

Treasure!

After arriving in Ukraine, Wilhelm succeeded in connecting with Europe's largest arms dealer under the bridge of Andrei's personal connections...

Nikolai Viktor Oglevsky met.

Tons of military equipment were bought from Nikolay, yes, tons are now needed to count.

Five An-124 large transport aircraft were also purchased, and even the largest transport aircraft in the world, the original design of the An-225 was obtained.

According to Nikolai's Russian pronunciation:

Oh, my dear friend, as long as you give enough money, I can also get nuclear warheads.

Hearing these words, William could only give a thumbs up and sigh in his heart: 'Fighting clans are not for nothing. ’

In any case, Umbrella couldn't be idle in the past six months, and was expanding wildly.
