Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 Black Monday ()

Liu Mingzhang stood there with a changing expression, sometimes resolute, sometimes worried. Lu Shaohua did not make a sound at this time. He knew that Liu Mingzhang was making a choice, but watching the time pass by, it would be a lie to say that he was not in a hurry.

After a while, Liu Mingzhang's expression stopped changing and he looked determined. Lu Shaohua knew that he had made his choice. Judging from his expression, he should have chosen to help Lu Shaohua, but Lu Shaohua was not really sure. After all, a person's inner thoughts were not so easy to guess.

Actually, Liu Mingzhang thought a lot when making the decision. Although it has not been long since he met Lu Shaohua, he must be extraordinary from all the things he has shown. Just imagine, a person who dares to take out 100 million US dollars to speculate in stocks, and the stocks he speculates are still the Nikkei crash, then there are only two reasons, one is a madman, and the other is 100% sure, but Liu Mingzhang doesn't think Lu Shaohua is a madman, so Liu Mingzhang decided to help Lu Shaohua. This is a gamble, yes, and the reason why he decided to help cannot be said to be because of Lu Shaohua's extraordinaryness, and the gambler's consciousness deep in his heart is also a big part of it.

"Mr. Liu!" Lu Shaohua's eyes were full of anticipation. This was a critical moment.

"Well, I'll help you." Liu Mingzhang said, gritting his teeth.

"Thank you" Lu Shaohua took a deep breath and said two simple words. In fact, Lu Shaohua was not afraid that Liu Mingzhang would not help, but he did not want to use that method to threaten a person, because when Liu Mingzhang was invited to be a trader, it was clearly written in the contract that the penalty for breach of contract was very high, so high that Liu Mingzhang could not compensate.

……

With only 20 minutes left before the closing, I finally placed an order for Nikkei futures large-cap stocks worth 2000 million US dollars.

An order worth 2000 million US dollars is nothing in the Japanese stock market. It is like a grain of sand sinking into the sea, or more accurately, like a drop of water in the sea.

Lu Shaohua watched all this and finally let go of his worries. According to his past life memories, on October 10 (Friday), the New York stock market fell by more than 16 points (about 91%) after hitting a record high in the summer. However, due to the time difference, the US East Coast opened later than other major financial markets. When the New York stock market plummeted, other markets were closed and were not affected. Even the Toronto stock market, which was synchronized with the New York stock market, was not affected.

Tokyo, Japan was also not affected. On the 16th, the stock price continued to rise. After the market closed for two days on the 17th and 18th, the Nikkei index in Tokyo, Japan, plummeted as soon as the market opened on the 19th (Monday), falling by 620 points at the close of the market, and another 20 points on the 3800th. The cumulative decline in two days was 16%. In the early trading of the 90st, the Japanese Ministry of Finance made a phone call, and the stock market miraculously recovered, but the good times did not last long. On the 21th, the Nikkei index in Japan fell another 26%. This series of data flashed through Lu Shaohua's mind.

"I hope history won't change." Lu Shaohua could only pray to God, because if he lost the bet, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback. Time waits for no one. Only by making a lot of money in this event known as 'Black Monday' can he slowly unfold his future plans.

After Liu Mingzhang placed the order for 2000 million US dollars, he suddenly felt weak all over, his whole body was light, his mind was blank, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead. But it was too late to regret at this time. He could only face the reality and not think about the consequences of all this.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, don't worry, we will be the final winners." Lu Shaohua could see that Liu Mingzhang felt very complicated at this moment, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only give him a reassuring look.

"I hope...it's just as you said." Liu Mingzhang had accepted the reality at this point and spoke incoherently.

"Haha! The market is closed, let's go back." Lu Shaohua's expression was still relaxed. He knew that history would not change drastically. As long as it did not change drastically, it would not affect his plan...

……

"Brother!" Lu Shaohua and Liu Mingzhang just returned to the door of the hotel and saw Chen Guobang walking back and forth at the door. He looked very anxious. Lu Shaohua felt a little sorry, but then he thought of the plan and could only secretly say "sorry" to Chen Guobang.

"Oh! I've been looking for you for a long time. Where did you go?" Chen Guobang heard the voice, raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing that it was Lu Shaohua and Liu Mingzhang, he sighed and said in a blaming tone.

"Haha, it's okay, we just went out for a walk. It's boring to stay in the room. I feel hungry after walking around, let's go eat something." Lu Shaohua laughed and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh! You..." Chen Guobang was really helpless. He had been worried for the whole afternoon. He thought it was okay for Lu Shaohua to learn Japanese with Liu Mingzhang, so he fell asleep in the room. After waking up, he wanted to go to Liu Mingzhang's room to see how Lu Shaohua was doing. However, he knocked on the door for half a day but there was no response. He wanted to ask the waiter to open the door but he didn't understand Japanese. In the end, he had to use extraordinary means to open the door and get in. However, after entering, the room was empty.

"Haha, let's go, brother, we are fine now." Lu Shaohua was still smiling. He knew that Chen Guobang was worried about him. He was touched and grateful to Chen Guobang.

"Okay, next time you go out, you have to call me. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, I won't be able to explain to your father." Chen Guobang said seriously. He was afraid that Lu Shaohua would come again and sneak out with Liu Mingzhang.

"I promise, I will call you when I go out." Lu Shaohua promised repeatedly. He really would not sneak out again, but took Chen Guobang to the stock exchange openly. By Monday, he believed that the money he earned would scare Chen Guobang, so he was no longer afraid of being stopped.

"Well, that's good. Let's go find a place to eat."

"Ok!"

The three of them found a place to have a simple meal. During the meal, Chen Guobang noticed that Liu Mingzhang's face looked a little strange, so he asked him if something had happened. However, after receiving a hint from Lu Shaohua, Liu Mingzhang just made up an excuse to get away with it. Chen Guobang didn't pay much attention to it and didn't ask any more questions.
