Chapter 98 He just looks at me more pleasing to the eye

Anyone who has received higher education knows how depressing the financial crisis that year was, and the harm caused simply caused the economy to regress for several years or even decades in an instant!

During that crisis, hundreds of destroyed iron furnaces all over the world, hundreds of millions of acres of cotton fields were destroyed, hundreds of millions of bags of coffee were destroyed, and millions of livestock were destroyed.

In America, even tens of thousands of gallons of high-quality fresh milk were poured into the ditch, forming a river of milk, which were all huge catastrophic consequences of the economic crisis.

As for inflation, large-scale population unemployment, and the overthrow of social systems, this is not uncommon, but at that time there was something that historians could not understand. During that period, China's economy grew steadily and was not affected by the world's economic crisis at all.

Not only China, but even those countries that maintained close cooperation with China easily survived this disaster, as if an invisible hand protected them.

In just a few years, the technological and productivity that China and developed countries, which were a hundred years apart, were shortened to only a few decades.

But who would have thought that all this was done by Zhang Menglong’s grandfather!

If this thing is true, it can simply solve the mystery that has puzzled historians and economists for decades!

But this is another terrifying thing to think about. It can easily control the global economy. What kind of power should be driven by this?

"This...how did my grandpa do it?"

"I don't know this, but I heard that the economic crisis has gone further from the tension in resources and raw materials around the world, especially the crude oil crisis. Dozens of major crude oil importing countries around the world have almost cut off their supply!" said Boraday.

"Not only that, during that period, capitalists around the world began to develop production frantically like crazy. The accumulation of products far exceeded the purchasing power that the international community had at that time. Then there was a vicious cycle, and the world economic crisis naturally broke out.

Regarding the causes of the economic crisis, Zhang Menglong recited a lot when he was studying politics in high school. In fact, an inevitable thing during an economic crisis is like a cycle and it happens repeatedly within a certain period.

However, as long as there are some external forces, the cycle can be artificially shortened. Of course, such external forces naturally need to be unimaginable.

"Mr. Zhang, you may not have been born in that era, but I am a person from that era. Do you know what happened during that period?"

"What?"

"90% of the crude oil supply in developed countries has been cut off, which is just one of the things. The most terrifying thing is that all the large banks in the world care about getting huge withdrawal orders at the same time!"

"What does it mean?" Zhang Menglong seemed to have not understood Boradi's words.

"In just a few weeks, the cash flow of banks and even international banks around the world was almost exhausted!" When Boradi said this, his eyes flashed with a reverence. "Did you know that that year, the total GDP of the world was only about 5 trillion US dollars, but during that period, the cash of banks around the world was 10 trillion US dollars!"

"Is this what my grandfather did?" This number, even today, is incredible.

"Mr. Zhang, you should know your family's wealth better than me." Boradi did not say it directly, but obviously he agreed to this statement.

"From the bankruptcy one by one, the world's economy collapsed instantly, and the next thing was a series of butterfly effects."

"Old Zhang, your grandfather is so awesome!" Wang Ling was stunned by the hearing. As a master's degree in Jingrong from an internationally prestigious university, Wang Ling naturally had an extraordinary understanding of the world economic crisis. But she didn't expect that behind this, there was a shadow of Zhang Menglong and his family.

"I don't know that my grandfather is so awesome!" Zhang Menglong's expression was exactly the same as Wang Ling. He was not proud of this because he had not recovered from that shock!

"Mr. Zhang, do you know how long this economic crisis lasts?"

"It seems like there is ten years." Zhang Menglong said based on his memory.

"Do you know what happened in the year when the crisis ended?"

"This... I read less, why don't you tell me." What Zhang Menglong hates the most is rote memorization of history. If he, a liberal arts black hole who scored 21 points in the final grade of high school, can understand this, and he won't end up choosing engineering as a way to go.

"I know!" Wang Ling suddenly thought of something, "I remember that that year, a large number of lost cultural relics appeared on the northwest border, all wrapped in unified red silk, while a large number of ghost ships appeared in the coastal areas, and the ships were also filled with a large number of lost things."

"It is worthy of being Mr. Zhang's friend, Mr. Wang is really well-versed in the past." Boradi said with admiration. If it weren't for having such a relationship with Zhang Menglong's grandfather, he wouldn't have known these things, let alone linked these two things together.

"Academic master!" Zhang Menglong gave Wang Ling a thumbs up!

"Low down and low-key!" Wang Ling smiled, "So this is the bargaining chip for the hazy grandfather to end the economic crisis?"

"As far as I understand, yes!" said Boraday. "Since then, a large amount of funds flowed back to the bank, the world's raw material supply chain was restored, and after a long period of rest and recuperation, the world economy slowly recovered."

"Then how did you know my grandfather?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"That year I was still making a living in the financial market on Wall Street. Because of a mistake, all the funds were lost," said Boraday. "Later, I was chased by a group of creditors and met your grandfather and his servants."

"Then what?"

"Your grandfather said he needed someone who was familiar with Wall Street. He said he liked me and helped me pay off my debts and asked me to take him to the bond center on Wall Street to help him do something."

"You're more pleasing?"

"Yes," said Boradi smiled bitterly. He originally thought that some of his own characteristics made Zhang Menglong's grandfather Zhang Mo choose him. Afterwards, he asked, and he got such an answer.

"What did he do there?"

"In three days, he destroyed the entire Wall Street currency market, and my job was just to help him find the right fund entry point, because I know here and what is the project with the most transaction volume every day. Although I didn't understand Chinese language at that time, I noticed that every time he issued an order to his subordinates, a market project collapsed."

"A few days later, he has completely controlled the entire Wall Street. He can easily make any currency depreciate or appreciate, and even the official power cannot compete with him. This is the power of the market!"
