Chapter 1972

The old man's voice suddenly became much louder: "So, the country can have a lot of foreign exchange income again?"

"More or less, but still the same sentence, no one can guarantee that they can make money in the stock market. I can only say that the chance of winning is a little higher."

Zhou Andong never said things fully, especially this action, which wasn't based on the memory of the previous life, but was planned by him, and there was still uncertainty.

The old man laughed out loud, sounding in a very good mood: "I know, the stock market has too much uncertainty and is too professional, so it's not easy to handle."

"Last year, you earned 500 million US dollars for the country in the sugar futures market, and I was indeed happy. But now that you are messing with the little Japanese, I am very happy."

"Whether you make money or not, Grandpa doesn't care. As long as the little Japanese are uncomfortable, Grandpa's mood will be very, very good."

Zhou Andong laughed: "As for messing with the little Japanese, I am also very happy."

The old man said with a smile: "Don't spread my words. After all, China and Japan are friendly now, and we still need Japanese investment, so we can't destroy it."

"Don't worry, Grandpa." Zhou Andong patted his chest to guarantee: "Even if I'm drunk, I won't say your words."

"Okay, that's it." The old man hung up the phone.

Zhou Andong looked at the time again: "Less than a minute left, the Japanese stock market is opening. Now the eyes of the whole world are probably focused on Japan."

Jian Qiu leaned lazily against the sofa, holding her belly with both hands: "This will be a massacre."

……………………

At this time, London Financial City, New York Wall Street, Hong Kong Financial Street, Singapore Financial Center, and some foreign-related financial institutions in Shanghai were all focusing their eyes on Japan, waiting for the Japanese stock market to open.

In the Tokyo Stock Exchange hall, it was full of people, with black heads one after another.

Such a grand occasion hadn't appeared for many years, as if it had suddenly returned to before the Plaza Accord.

It's just that the expressions of most people here weren't very good; some had their brows tightly locked, and some had their eyes wide open.

Everyone's heart was beating with the change of the numbers on the electronic clock hanging on the wall.

55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, Tokyo time 9:00 AM, the stock market opened.

Originally, the stocks of giants like Sony, Kobayashi Chemical, and Mitsubishi were still quite firm.

But today, as soon as it opened, the big screen was a sea of green, as if it had been splashed with green paint.

The stocks of more than a dozen giants exposed for fraud dived rapidly, especially Kobayashi Chemical, which plunged headfirst.

Time seemed to stop, and the whole trading hall was a bit terrifyingly quiet, but this terrifying silence only lasted for a short two or three seconds.

With a roar, the trading hall completely exploded, full of panic.

In less than ten minutes, not only the giants exposed for fraud, but the entire Japanese stock market seemed to have lost its vitality, falling rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

Every second, countless wealth was evaporating. Investors stared wide-eyed, watching in disbelief as the assets in their hands shrank instantly.

They were angry, terrified, and desperate, but they were powerless and could only watch their wealth vanish into thin air.

By the noon close, the index had fallen by 6.7%, which could really be described as wailing everywhere.

A man in his forties, wearing a suit and glasses, with slightly messy hair, walked out of the trading hall, shaking his body as if he had lost his soul.

Then he stood at the door, looked up at the dazzling sun, felt that the body surface temperature was very high, but his body was a bit cold.

He used to be a real estate salesman. Because of the hot real estate market, he made a lot of money. It can be said that those three years were definitely the peak of his life.

Not only did he buy a luxury house and a luxury car, but he also divorced his "yellow-faced wife" and married a young and beautiful woman, who gave birth to a son for him the following year.

But life is often like this; when you are most proud, it will suddenly give you a knife. The real estate bubble came without warning.

Everything he had shattered with the bubble, and even his young and beautiful wife took his son and left. Fortunately, he still had investments in stocks in his hands.

Although not many, they were all giant stocks like Sony and Mitsubishi that could be held for a long time. When he really couldn't get by one day, selling them would definitely help him get through the difficulties.

But this morning, when he saw the Asahi Shimbun, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the sky had collapsed.

Damn it, the stocks he held were Sony, Mitsubishi, and Kobayashi Chemical.

In the morning, he came to the trading hall in a daze, still thinking that Sony, Mitsubishi, and Kobayashi Chemical would definitely protect the market.

But all morning, the stock market had fallen to—damn it—that state, and he hadn't seen the companies exposed for fraud protect the market, not even one.

At this time, a man and a woman walked past him, and the man was still comforting the woman.

"Don't worry, there was no market protection in the morning, but they will definitely take action in the afternoon. It's absolutely impossible to let the stocks fall like this."

The dazed middle-aged man heard it, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

It was he who was too anxious. Even if the companies protected the market, they would definitely have to observe first.

The middle-aged man first cheered up, then went to a Chinese restaurant not far away to eat.

He liked to eat Chinese food. In the three years of his peak, he almost ate Chinese food every day.

And today, although he was short of money, he still felt like rewarding himself.

He ordered a braised fish and "guobaorou" (sweet and sour pork), which were his young and beautiful wife's favorites.

But when he watched the fish and guobaorou being served, he was in a daze.

It wasn't until the stock market was about to open that he came back to his senses, finished his meal quickly, and ran back to the stock exchange.

Tokyo time 12:30 PM, the stock market opened on time, however, this didn't bring any surprises to investors.

On the contrary, the stock market continued the downward trend of the morning, like an untamable giant beast, making people feel fear.

All sectors were green, blue-chip stocks, small and medium-sized boards, and growth enterprise markets were all spared, which made the entire market filled with a suffocating tense atmosphere.

As an important support force for the stock market, blue-chip stocks felt powerless at this moment. Those large corporate stocks that were regarded as stable investments were now falling one after another.

The small and medium-sized board was even more miserable, and the stock prices of many small and medium-sized enterprises fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string. The growth enterprise market was like a forgotten corner, investors lost confidence in it, and stock prices plummeted all the way.

Under these circumstances, investors began to feel anxious. They watched their wealth shrink constantly, but were powerless.

The market's pessimistic sentiment became more intense, and a panic selling wave was imminent.
