235. Chapter 235 Coming
"Short the Dow Jones Index?!" Neil opened his eyes wide, then breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and rubbed his forehead, "Do you know what you are talking about, Sean?"
"Of course, if something really happens and it's so terrible in your dream, it will definitely affect the stock market, right?" Sean said without understanding the mood.
"If there were really explosions everywhere, crowds of people running everywhere, and planes crashed, New York would definitely be attacked," Neil spread his hands, "Who did we go to war with? Is China?"
Hearing this sentence, Sean had the urge to cover his forehead and quickly coughed lightly: "I don't know, but I don't think it's a war, maybe an accident?"
After thinking for a while, he finally gave up the argument of terrorist attacks that he spoke. It was fine to reveal it, but it was easy to be suspicious if he revealed it too much and details. The reason for pretending to be a fool is that there are always these related records in history. For example, before the Titanic sailed, someone dreamed of a shipwreck and gave up on board and survived, or the air crash in Japan in the 1980s, which was said to have been uncomfortable before boarding the plane and gave up the flight, thus surviving. Movies like "The God of Death" were inspired by these.
Regardless of whether these statements are true or not, at least they give people this impression that when a major change occurs, there will always be people who are frightened, which gives Sean an excuse.
People always seek benefits and avoid harm. I have said before that it is necessary to do altruistic things without harming their own interests, but once they are endangered, they can only choose to preserve themselves. Similarly, when a profitable thing is placed in front of you and you are almost at your disposal, why let it go?
There is no psychological burden. He is neither making money from the dead nor making money from the national crisis. He just goes to the stock market and cashes out some inflows of hot money. Without him, there are many other speculators. So why not do it? At worst, you can use a piece of income to do charity. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and only has the moral standards of ordinary people.
"Damn..." Neil rubbed his forehead again, "Where is the time? You shouldn't want to say that there are only two days, right?"
"It should be just these few days, about a week," Sean gave an uncertain time, "you only need to help watch stories and real-time news over the week, of course, don't go to New York, don't take a plane."
"So you would rather come back by a private plane?" Neil asked at this moment.
"Yes," Sean admitted without hesitation, "If you want to go back, you can take my private jet. I just rented a Gulfstream V for a year."
The rental price of private jets is not expensive, only a few million a year, so Sean can afford this amount of money.
"It seems I have no choice," Neil smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I can only accompany you to crazy - how much capital do you plan to get out?"
"10 million, ten times leverage." Sean took a deep breath.
"It's such a big deal. It seems that "My Grand Greek Wedding" brings you quite a lot of profits." Neil said half-jokingly.
"Compared with funds that can invest hundreds of millions at a time, this 10 million is just a smack that leaks from your fingertips," Sean shrugged, "or do you want me to invest all my wealth?"
"Forget it, I'll be very uneasy to hold such a large amount of money in my hands," Neil sighed and shook his head. "I still remember what happened last year."
"Okay, then that's it," Sean didn't insist, "remember to keep it secret, including Garen and the others."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to give out more capital. Firstly, although Sean insists on the character of “making a decision, he has to work hard until the end”, he is not very gambled. Unless he has no choice but to retreat, he will not do such a desperate thing. Secondly, it is not easy to explain if he invests too much. His current series of requirements are based on the premonition, which makes Neil half-believing and half-doubted, and he still invests all his wealth. If he doesn’t say it, there must be something wrong with his mind.
There is also third, Sean trusts Neil, but still has some doubts about his skills. As Neil himself said, what happened last year is still vivid in his mind. If it weren't for his carelessness, Sean would have lost his underwear. So, investing 10 million is enough. If he could make ten times the profit this time, he would be considered a billionaire.
The reason for hiding Garen and Sanders is that this language is still too nonsense in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if Sean is optimistic and successful scripts, there are many scripts. Also, Garen has a relatively more sense of justice. If he knew, although he would not be frustrated, he would definitely not feel comfortable. Neil is different. As a person who grew up in a financial operation family, all kinds of changes in this area are his profession. As long as he can make him turn his hands into a cloud and rain, he will not care about so many others.
As for Sanders, among the four of them, he and Galen have been together the longest, so it is easy to see something, so they just hide it together.
In short, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.
Then, after the matter was decided, 911 arrived as scheduled. That morning, Sean got up at 6 o'clock. He didn't go out for a run, but exercised at home. He was a little absent-minded and was teased by Sanders.
Fortunately, after 8 o'clock, Sanders turned on the TV and watched the news for a while. Sean didn't have to make people suspicious by himself, and then he soon heard the news from the World Trade Center.
"God, what's going on?" After seeing the smoke rolling on the Twin Towers on the TV, Garen and Sanders exclaimed, and then quickly called.
Sean is no exception, first giving it to the home and then to the woman. In fact, he had called yesterday. His parents and sister were still in San Francisco, and he had no plans to go out today. Naomi is still in Los Angeles, Katie is still in Ohio’s parents’ house. Jordanna has already reported to Yale three days ago that she is basically not in New York, nor is she on the plane. She calls again now just to confirm.
As for Frederick, don't worry, this guy sent a text message early this morning, preparing to arrange for him to meet with a lyricist, which must be in Los Angeles now.
"It's great, as long as you're fine, it seems that all airports have been closed urgently, so stay at home these two days... Well... Okay, I'll take time to come back... I promise." Sean breathed a long sigh after finishing the call with Liana. It was basically no problem. Everyone was fine. Look at the time. It was already 9 o'clock, and the second collision had already occurred on TV.
Sean is not sure if there has been any change in the attack, but based on the current situation, the final outcome is probably not much.
Then, he called again: "Hey, Neil, are you okay?"
"Everything is good, don't worry." Neil's deep breathing sound came from over there. Obviously, he was shocked by today's news.
"Although I'm in Boston, I'll pay attention to everything." He then said this and hung up the phone quickly.
Sean didn't call him again. Being cautious is right. If such a big thing happened, the security department would definitely monitor each phone number. If it leaked out just a few words, it would be a big trouble.
After that, the whole of the United States fell into panic on the day, and all kinds of bad news came one after another, the Pentagon was hit, the crash of the White House, the ban on flights across the United States, etc. Finally, the scene of the collapse of the World Trade Center on TV was even more painful.
Sean inevitably fell into a ridiculous feeling because...for him, this is something that has happened, and history and reality have never strongly overlapped.
However, he has lived here for twenty years. Although he has never forgotten his previous life, he has lived a pretty good life in this life, so he quickly adjusted to do whatever he should do, such as attending a prayer event in the evening, or as a member of Hollywood, he participated in a fundraising event in the next few days.
Hollywood held a grand evening, with all the famous celebrities attending and giving speeches to inspire the people in front of the TV, and calling on everyone to donate to the families of the victims, as well as the New York Police Department and the Fire Department.
Sean originally planned to donate 10 million in one go, but fortunately, he communicated with Frederick before that, and the agent quickly stopped the action.
"Just half of it, otherwise it will be too popular. Even if it is only half, it will still be enough for you to attract attention. The rest can be donated slowly. And you donated today, what about the future? I donated 10 million today, and only donated 1 million or even less in the future. Even if someone understands it, there will definitely be someone who will take the blame. It is best not to do such a thing." The agent said.
That's right. You have to show off, but you can't show off too much. So Sean only took out 5 million with advice. Even so, it still attracted a lot of attention. You should know that even big names like George Clooney, Jin Carrey have only donated three to four million, tens of millions, and tens of millions, which are the powerful figures on the line on Spielberg.
Although Sean has some names in Hollywood and a lucky boy, he still admires him for donating 5 million yuan at a time.
"I saw the tragic situation on TV. I was very shocked. You should know that a few days ago I had filmed a movie in New York and browsed near the World Trade Center. This was a huge harm to all of us. What must I do." Facing the reporter's body temperature, Sean said so righteously.
As an agent, Frederick was still very qualified. After announcing the donation news, he immediately arranged an interview with the reporter. Although there were only a few words published, it was enough to leave a deep impression on the public - the young actor who became famous in 1999 actually donated 5 million, which was more than most actors. It was really surprising.
