Chapter 607

Just the next day after Yeltsin's speech, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee issued a statement. Yeltsin will no longer be a senior official of Moscow and an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party. The statement did not explain the reason for Yeltsin's dismissal, but basically everyone who cares about it knows it. Yeltsin is going to step down.

On the evening of the meeting, Xie liaosha made a special trip to Yeltsin's home to visit him. They talked for two hours in Yeltsin's study. No one knew what they were talking about. When seryosha left Yeltsin's house, Yeltsin himself put him in the car. There was no depression or chagrin on his face. On the contrary, it was a lot easier.

Soon after, the Mediterranean trading company under the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation announced that it would take over the project of workers' new town from the Moscow municipal Party committee, and Yeltsin would continue to be in charge of the project. For most Moscow citizens, this is the only good news after Yeltsin's defeat. The move of the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation of the Soviet Union meant that they were not the same people as ligachov, and supported Yeltsin with their own practical actions.

In view of Gorbachev's supremacy at present, he plans to wait for Yeltsin to visit the United States for a while to avoid the domestic limelight. However, his crazy behavior at the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has made him famous overseas, and many political critics in western countries have praised Yeltsin's brave behavior. But seryosha knew that Yeltsin had not changed anything.

Just as the Soviet Union was discussing its economic and political reform goals for the next year, the high-frequency trading system of seliosha had come to an end. In order to maximize the advantage of speed, Xie liaosha placed the whole high-frequency trading room in the building of New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Exchange Center. At the same time, optical fiber access is also adopted. Shariosha even asked EVA to open the highest transmission authority for this line. Even if the whole network is in traffic jam, the data of Bank of Columbia can still flow freely on the network.

The whole project is drawing to a close, and now the final test is left. In order to test the degree of automation of this system, with the approval of Mikhail, the Bank of Columbia has opened part of the funding authority to this system for testing in real environment. It's already Friday, and the testers of high frequency trading project of Bank of Columbia are preparing for the last virtual environment test. Because it takes about a week for the test program to run on the weekend, and there are no serious problems in the previous tests, so there are not many developers left in the computer room.

The goal of this test is to verify how much profit the whole system can make in the case of market decline. This is a routine test. The program will be tested in the real data environment of the New York Stock Exchange, but it does not really trade because the network has not switched to the real network environment. When the test engineer has set all the parameters of the whole program, he can't wait to work underground. This project has been carried out for more than half a year, and almost all members of the project team haven't had a vacation for a long time. So after finishing the work according to the requirements, the last few testers left the company ahead of time. At this moment, they have begun to think about where to go this weekend to relax.

However, when these people left, no one noticed that what they were accessing was not the test network environment, but the real network environment.

……

Not far from here, in New York's No.1 Freedom Square building, Solomon brothers stock exchange and sales department on the 40th floor is quietly waiting for the closing. In the spacious office, there are calls from customers from time to time.

At this time, in a cubicle by the window, Murphy, a senior broker, is communicating with his clients on the phone, explaining his work problems. To be honest, being a securities broker is not an easy job, because many times Murphy can't answer the questions raised by clients, such as "why do you recommend stocks that make me lose so much money?"“ Why did you tell me that the market was very good, but I lost so much? " This kind of problem.

Whenever faced with such problems, Murphy always racked his brains to weave some ambiguous words to deal with customers. Although he is a securities broker, his real job is to let customers take care of their money with Solomon brothers. In the end, this is a sales job with a low threshold. Although she works in Manhattan with every inch of land and money, Wearing tens of thousands of dollars of custom-made suits, wearing pure handmade Swiss gold watch, driving a Ferrari sports car worth more than 100000 dollars. But for the rise and fall of the capital market, Murphy in most cases does not understand what is going on.

Now Murphy is communicating with two customers at the same time, and there are the other three customers waiting on the line. Murphy is too busy now. On the computer screen in front of him, the latest stock quotation is constantly flashing, and Murphy has no time to take a look.

Murphy managed to stabilize his client. He looked up at the quotation on the monitor. Just as he wanted to pick up the mug and have a cup of coffee, the Dow Jones index at the top of the quotation bar suddenly changed.

"Ah Murphy quickly put down his mug and took a close look. In the blink of an eye, the Dow Jones index went from positive to negative and fell by more than 20 points. Before Murphy could react, the Dow Jones fell by more than 20 points again. Next, the Dow Jones index began its own crash journey, within a few minutes, the index expanded to 80 points.

At this moment, the originally noisy telephone rings of Salomon Brothers come and go one after another. You don't have to think about it. It's an inquiry call from customers when they know that the stock price has fallen. But Murphy didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know how to explain it to his clients.

By the end of the day, the Dow Jones index on the New York Stock Exchange had fallen by 5%, but market analysts had no idea why. Many analysts attributed the decline to the adjustment in the long-term rise of the market. They think the Dow Jones index will continue to rise after adjustment next Monday.
