The film's financial warfare ideas: Secretly buy US Treasury bonds, terrorist attacks, selling bonds, triggering a big crash.
This kind of thinking is a common thinking in finance. The key to the success of this method lies in the detonation of "events". Take this film, for example, the terrorist attack is the tipping point. The terrorist attack is the most critical link in this terrorist attack, because if there is a terrorist attack, it will definitely trigger a large number of other buyers to sell at the same time. At this time, Victor's leading selling will further aggravate the panic of other buyers, thereby increasing the panic of other buyers. to achieve a better strike effect.
What might have been the result of a one-sided Victor sell-off if the terrorist attack hadn't happened?
We can logically deduce
that the US debt sold by Victor mentioned in the film is about 2 trillion, and the daily turnover of US debt is about 500 billion. Under the calm weather, Victor suddenly sold a large amount of U.S. bonds, which would indeed cause U.S. bonds to plummet in an instant, but given the daily turnover of 500 billion, the impact will definitely be limited. At the same time, the sudden sell-off, the United States must understand that this is a deliberate attack, so it will definitely organize forces to buy in large quantities, and it will delay the market at the opening time of the next day at the latest, and the fighting power of Wall Street will definitely exceed 20,000 US dollars. So, Victor's sell-off would create a day of panic at best.
But if a terrorist attack happens, it's not just the Victors who sell, and buyers of U.S. Treasuries around the world may join the sell-off. At the same time, the site of the terrorist attack was Wall Street, and when Wall Street was bombed, the United States lost an important pallet force. When the world's sell-off surged, U.S. Treasuries were set to collapse.
So, terrorist attacks are the key to this financial war.
This can also explain why the terrorist attack failed and Victor stopped selling, as this is in line with the style of financial warfare.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to watch the movie purely from the perspective of financial warfare.
