Captain America Steve? Rogers. This man has been a cultural symbol of the United States for a long time, even a symbol of American culture.
In the 1970s and 1980s, when the Cold War stalemate reached its peak and World War III could break out at any time, Captain Rogers became the spiritual sustenance of a generation of Americans.
The more chaotic the era, the more people are eager for heroes.
Especially in the years since Captain Rogers sacrificed his life to destroy the conspiracy of Hydra. The US military has always built Captain Rogers as a business card.
From recruitment propaganda to promoting the image of the military, the Political Propaganda Department of the US military did everything they could to squeeze every last drop of value from Captain Rogers.
It can be said that in the minds of the general public, Captain America Steve? Rogers himself is already the image spokesperson of this country. The image of Captain America has been equated with the country in the minds of most Americans.
In some animations that personify the country, the image of the United States is always painted as a strong man carrying a shield and wearing a blue and white striped uniform. The source of this image is the appearance of Captain Rogers.
And Captain America went to the New York State Courthouse today and took the US military to court! All reporters understood what this meant.
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of this information with the court, almost all the reporters sent this news back to their headquarters in the fastest way possible.
So five minutes after Captain Rogers stepped out of the New York State Courthouse, the first explosive news appeared.
Wall Street, the world's financial center, has an interesting device on this street, which is a running lantern placed between buildings. These running lanterns are not used to broadcast advertisements.
Instead, they are used to disseminate all kinds of news information to Wall Street in the first place. In the financial field, information is king.
Originally, today was just a normal trading day, with no important financial bulletins and no financial scandals of big companies. Although the Wall Street Stock Exchange is busy, this is just an ordinary daily life.
The running lanterns hanging above the trading floor are constantly playing news information that is more important to the financial industry. Traders will look up at the news displayed on the running lantern from time to time, paying attention to whether some news will have an impact on the stocks held and traded by their clients.
The Wall Street Stock Exchange has always been a noisy place, ever since it was first established. The traders in expensive suits were under a lot of pressure because they were dealing with huge amounts of money.
Between buying and selling, the traders shouted prices at each other like the loud voices of aunties in the market. And the never-ending ringing of the phone.
Wall Street is what we see in movies and on TV. Of course, with the development of online trading, the situation was much better.
The shouts of the traders could no longer be heard in the trading hall, but the buzzing noise was even more annoying. It was the noise of traders talking to their clients over the phone in hushed tones.
Michael was a Wall Street trader. He was talking to his client in a low voice. "Mr. Dodge, I don't think it's wise for you to sell your Coca-Cola shares now. Coca-Cola's share price still has room to rise. You can hold it for a while longer, as long as …"
Michael was in the middle of a conversation with a client when he sensed something unusual in the air. He listened carefully. Yes! Why did the annoying low-frequency noise that he was already familiar with disappear?
Now the Wall Street Stock Exchange seemed to be strangled by a giant's hand. It seemed that everyone had collectively lost their voice.
"?" Michael was a little surprised. He stood up from his cubicle. He noticed that the trader in the cubicle next to him spilled coffee on his high-end suit worth more than two thousand dollars without noticing.
Almost all the traders turned their attention to the news marquee above the trading floor.
[Captain America officially sued the US military five minutes ago for abusing his personal image for personal gain.] This was a very short piece of news, but it contained an impact no less than that of an atomic bomb explosion.
"Michael! Michael! Are you there! Hello ~ Hello ~ "There was a shout from his client on Michael's phone, but Michael didn't hear anything at that moment.
He covered his mouth with his hand and let out a soft sigh. "Oh my god!"
The entire stock exchange fell into a frightening silence, as if everyone was suffocating. Michael was pulled back from his thoughts by the shouting of his client on the phone.
As an experienced trader, he knew very well what this news meant. "Michael!" The client on the phone was still urging him.
Michael, who had just persuaded his client not to sell the Coca-Cola stock, had changed his mind. "Mr. Dodge, if you want to sell the Coca-Cola stock, you'd better do it now! At least you can sell it at a good price now. Why? I'm sorry, I don't have time to explain to you now. You'll understand when you watch the news tonight! I have other clients to contact. I've already put up your order! "
Michael didn't have much time to chat with the client named Dodge. He thought he had other clients' orders to solve.
Michael's roar seemed to wake up all the traders in the entire trading hall. Shouts and shouts could be heard from all the cubicles.
This group of seemingly gentle traders seemed to have returned to the 1980s, the era when the Internet was not developed. The era when they relied entirely on loud speech to convey information.
In this originally normal trading day, a storm was forming. All the companies related to Steve? The stock prices of companies related to Rogers began to fall for some reason.
As a trader on Wall Street, you may not necessarily make a lot of money, but you must at least know how to avoid risk. Otherwise, you will die in this land of crocodiles.
Some people often used to describe the impact of something special on a peaceful society by throwing a stone into a calm pond and then causing a circle of ripples.
Captain Rogers's incident this time was not throwing a stone into a pond, but directly dropping a heavy bomb!
