Chapter 1282: Naoki-san.. someone, jumped off the building!!!

Have you seen New York at 4 am?

Genta Nakai has!

Genta Nakai, who forced himself to sleep for a while, was full of various numbers of the stock market as soon as he closed his eyes. Red and green screens floated in front of his eyes, making his brain dizzy... He originally wanted to watch TV to stay up until dawn, but felt the sound and light of the TV were too dazzling!!!

In the end, he could only bite a cigarette and look at the sky outside the window in a daze...

Watching the sky slowly change from pitch black to cyan black, then to cyan, white, and then brighter, but in the end, it became gloomy... It was a cloudy day!

Watching the streetlights in New York slowly go out, the quiet street first had the movement of small vendors, and then the apartment opposite started the morning noise...

Watching the black-skinned energetic young man on the street opposite greeting his neighbor who blocked his way:

"Good morning my neighbor!"

"Fu*k you nigger!"

"Fu*k you too!"

"..."

After a noisy and intimate greeting, both sides took a step back and then continued to go to work leisurely...

What a vivid American life!

Genta Nakai was moved by such vitality, and it seemed that he had regained his motivation to face a big event again!

He moved his stiff body, brewed a cup of bitter black coffee, swallowed a few pieces of dry bread, and then put on a coat and headed toward the New York Trading Center.

Generally speaking, he operated by calling the operators inside directly from outside the field, but today, he wanted to watch the trading scene closely and truly!

Getting off the taxi, Genta Nakai saw the gate of the New York Stock Exchange and the traders who kept going in...

The market hadn't opened yet, so everyone's face was either relaxed from spending a weekend, or had holiday syndrome from coming to work in a hurry with a stinky face.

"Mr. Nakai?! Why did you come to the exchange in person?!"

A greasy young white face appeared in front of Genta Nakai,

"What a big surprise! It must be a coincidence of heaven that I saw you at the door...

Please come in, let me tell you the latest intelligence of these two days! There is inside information, do you want to hear...

Forget it, better not say it, very likely involves insider trading...

Do you have any specific operations for me to execute?!"

This is the trader of Genta Nakai at the New York Stock Exchange, Aaron... a typical white elite, wearing a suit and leather shoes, greasy hair and powdered face, high-spirited, full of slick talk...

"..."

Genta Nakai actually didn't want to talk much to him. Even though he was an experienced business tycoon, this guy was really too talkative, so he contacted him by phone before.

"Just because the weather is good today, so I came to see it on the way... Nothing needs you to operate, everything has been completed!"

"Ah... yes yes yes, such a large futures contract... really surprising!"

Aaron brought Genta Nakai to the observation room while chattering,

"But I don't think it's suitable now. Although there are rumors that there is risk, no one knows when it will come out... It's a bit risky now..."

There is a window here where you can directly see the operations inside the trading hall, and now, there are many traders who have put on work clothes and are preparing to work inside.

"Alright Mr. Nakai, I'm going in to work!"

Aaron finally showed a typical American smile, the kind that shows more than eight teeth,

"Notify me if you have any questions!"

"Good, thank you!"

Genta Nakai breathed a sigh of relief, finally didn't have to continue talking to this chatterbox!

Sitting in the observation room and lighting a cigarette, watching the people in the observation room increase, the phones in the trading hall also started to ring constantly...

The sound of phone ringing, loud answers, the sound of pencils sliding on notebooks, keyboard sounds, scolding and laughter in the observation hall... This is the sound of money flowing!!

As the clock on the wall pointed to 9:30, the bell of "Dang! Dang! Dang!" rang, and the New York Stock Exchange officially opened!!!

"Finally... finally arrived!"

Genta Nakai stood up excitedly, leaned close to the window, wanting to observe the situation in the trading hall!

And the facts didn't disappoint him. As soon as the market opened, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 67 points!!!

"!!!"

Genta Nakai watched the noise level of the trading hall rise by a level instantly, countless phones kept calling, the sound of requests to sell kept ringing, traders kept waving to signal, and the keyboard sound of the computer clicked like drum beats or horse hooves...

In a blink of an eye, the screens in the trading hall were all red numbers!!!

The sell-off wave, it's here!!!

Everyone felt that something was wrong. The noise, scolding, and roaring... The trading hall was in chaos!

"Sell, sell everything!" "Hurry hurry hurry!" "You TM hurry up and operate, get my stocks out!" "Something is wrong!" "..."

Even the people in the observation hall scolded one after another. Some took out big brother phones, dialed the landlines of traders directly, and scolded loudly to let them sell everything... Some leaned on the observation window, waving their hands desperately to signal the traders inside to sell!

The investors who were originally well-dressed and talked about the international economic situation were like ducks forced to a dead end at this time, saying non-stop~

10 minutes, half an hour, one hour... The entire sell-off frenzy didn't mean to stop at all!

At the same time, inside the office of the New York Stock Exchange, an emergency meeting had already begun. The general manager, deputy general manager, and heads of departments such as the compliance department and the large client trading department all gathered in the conference room.

Like the traders below, everyone in the conference room was also discussing loudly and chaotically.

"Never happened! Never happened!" "Big problem!" "If this continues, clients will go bankrupt!" "..."

It wasn't until administrative staff placed several landlines on the conference table that they dialed the phones of regulatory departments such as the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Treasury Department.

"Alright... quiet!"

The general manager said,

"Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman David Lude is already online, and Treasury Secretary Baker is also there. We are now synchronizing the latest situation!"

"From the opening to now, in just over an hour, there has been a sell-off of more than hundreds of millions of shares!"

"The computer of the New York Stock Exchange cannot bear the burden, there is too much information, the computer is later than the actual transaction, and it is close to paralysis..."

"Judging from the current situation, such a trend will be more serious..."

"Chairman Lude, Treasury Secretary Baker, our exchange's proposal is to temporarily close the market..."

As soon as this was said, the entire conference room fell into silence, and even the several landlines had no sound... The New York Stock Exchange is the world's largest trading market, the financial center...

Once the market is closed, countless transactions will not be able to proceed, countless investors will fall into a dead end, and the US economy may even fall into turmoil...

Such responsibility is really too big!!!

No one can afford it!

In the end, it was Treasury Secretary Baker who spoke:

"I will communicate the current situation with the President... temporarily... don't close the market!"

"We can also wait for the situation of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Toronto, London, and other exchanges..."

"..."

In the end, this emergency meeting achieved nothing!!!

And in the observation room downstairs...

"Thump!... Thump thump!... Thump thump thump!"

A crimson color surged on Genta Nakai's face, and the sound of his heartbeat seemed to be roaring in his ears!

Rapid breathing, opening and closing nostrils, contracting chest... He couldn't help but tear open his shirt, wanting to breathe a little more air...

His eyes were full of bloodshot, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, staring dead at the screen in the trading hall, watching the red numbers refreshing like a waterfall...

Even though the cigarette butt in his hand had burned to the end, he just pinched it out directly with his hand, not letting his eyes leave the screen!

Other anxious investors in the observation room, seeing such a fierce look, didn't dare to squeeze him away, fearing that this guy would suddenly explode, maybe take out a weapon and start shooting indiscriminately...

Until noon...

The stock exchange still had no measures, and the trading hall was already full of despair!

The observation room was also howling, and the panic atmosphere like the end of the world quickly spread from the stock exchange to the outside...

Huaerjie, New York Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan...

Everywhere he went, there was wailing...

Genta Nakai came out of the gate of the New York Stock Exchange around noon. His footsteps were a bit weak, and he sat directly on a stone pier on Huaerjie, then took out a satellite phone from his coat.

"Du~ du~ du~ Moxi Moxi, Naoki-san?"

Genta Nakai forced his tone to sound not trembling,

"Black Monday, it's started!"

"New York stock market, it's collapsed!"

Just when Genta Nakai wanted to continue saying something, suddenly...

"Boom!!!"

On the street not far away, a body fell from the sky, landing on the concrete street and making a dull sound!

The dark gray stiff ground was like a black and white negative, and under that motionless body, slowly flowed out a dazzling...

"Naoki-san, someone jumped off the building..."

It is currently daylight saving time, and there is a 13-hour time difference between Tokyo and New York.

So when it was around 11 am in New York, it was past 9 pm in Tokyo~

Ginza was still brightly lit, the commercial street was full of pedestrians who didn't go home, and the boutiques were full of guests, people coming and going, laughing non-stop, even more lively than during the day.

The workplace in this era is that if the boss doesn't go back, the staff won't go back either. In the past, this point was not a big deal for Tree Friend Capital.

Because whether it was Genta Nakai or Naoki Nagayama, they were people who went to work and got off work on time, or rather Naoki Nagayama would get off work early...

But today, Naoki Nagayama stayed in the office! So almost all the employees of Tree Friend Capital were in the company...

At this time, Tree Friend Capital on the 12th floor, although also brightly lit, had an unspeakable sense of decadence~

The heated discussion from the morning had long spread to the company, and all employees knew that Tree Friend Capital had become notorious in the financial circle, and many clients came to close accounts during the day...

Now the scale of the entire Tree Friend Capital is less than one-fifth of what it was a month ago!!

Now the employees at the workstations are looking at the president's office in the corner from time to time. Inside the frosted glass wall is a figure sitting quietly in the boss's chair...

Since Naoki Nagayama called Genta Nakai and others in various national securities centers, he had been staying in the office, and even lunch and dinner were delivered by the front desk Yuko Tianzhong. Except for going to the bathroom a few times, he almost never went out!

He naturally heard about the ridicule of his peers, and he also heard some of the clients coming to close accounts... However, these didn't leave any ripples in his heart...

What worries him most now is naturally the situation across the ocean!

"It's nine o'clock now, it should have opened over there..."

"Will it collapse today?! Will it follow the historical trend?!"

This kind of situation that is not under his control hasn't appeared for a long time... In the past, whether he was investing or making movies, he actually had a bottom line in his heart.

It's not like this time, although he is sure, he doesn't know if the specific time will change slightly... In the words of the previous life, it is that the general trend remains unchanged, but the small trend may change...

"So annoying!!!"

And just at this time, he heard some movement from the front desk, and then heard footsteps walking toward the office...

"Dong dong~"

The door was pushed open, and he saw a face that was happy and angry appearing in the gap, and underneath was a small face reduced in proportion!

"Akina?!" Naoki Nagayama stood up and looked at the small face underneath. "Hua-chan?!"

"Naoki-san..."

Akina pushed the door open and put the little one down.

Just saw this little one run into the office with a *whoosh*, and then rushed toward Naoki Nagayama...

"Dad~ Dad~"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly squatted down, hugged little Xia Hua and turned a few times, and then pulled his wife in:

"Why did you come over?!"

"Hua-chan couldn't wait for you to come back, clamoring to find you!"

Akina smiled and picked up the bag in her hand, took out the bento box from it,

"And it's rare for Naoki-san to work overtime all night, so I made some midnight snacks to comfort you..."

"Arigato~"

A warm current surged in Naoki Nagayama's heart, and he leaned over and kissed Akina on the cheek, making Akina show a little blush on her face.

And the little one in her arms at this time, seeing that Dad actually kissed Mom and didn't kiss herself, immediately became jealous, reached out and covered Naoki Nagayama's mouth, not letting him continue...

"No! Don't kiss..."

"Eh? Is Hua-chan jealous?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and kissed his daughter's face, which made the little one turn anger into joy and became happy again.

And Akina on the other side had already opened the bento and put it on the coffee table. The sushi and fried food were arranged neatly, dotted with green vegetable leaves and small red tomatoes, looking pleasing to the eye...

"Because I thought there might be colleagues together, I brought an extra portion and gave it to Yuko Tianzhong at the front desk."

Akina said,

"But I didn't expect there to be so many people working overtime! It looks like everyone won't be able to eat..."

Naoki Nagayama picked up a tempura and ate it, and also handed a small tomato to little Xia Hua... She can't eat too much at night, it will cause indigestion.

"It doesn't matter, I'll let Yuko-chan order some midnight snacks for everyone later."

Actually, he didn't mean to have them accompany him, but before, his mind was focused on overseas, and he didn't pay much attention to the company, resulting in everyone being there...

"Is Naoki-san working all night today?"

Akina looked at her husband's office, a bit puzzled. This doesn't look like a busy job?

"Maybe..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded, letting Hua-chan turn around in the office, and she would even lie on the floor-to-ceiling window and look at other buildings in Ginza... She actually wasn't afraid of heights...

"In this globalized market, the main thing is to pay attention to the market changes in other countries... It's night here, but it's morning in New York!"

Slightly explained to Akina what economic globalization is, and fooled the little academic scumbag~ and looked at her husband with very admiring eyes...

So girls don't actually need to be too smart...

The warm half hour passed in a flash. Just when they were eating midnight snacks and chatting, Naoki Nagayama's big brother phone suddenly rang.

"Dili li~ Dili li"

Naoki Nagayama pressed the answer button and heard the rapid panting and words coming from the receiver...

"Moxi Moxi, Naoki-san?"

"It's me!" Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"Black Monday, it's started!....... New York stock market, it's collapsed!"

Genta Nakai's words were like a button, making Naoki Nagayama's heartbeat slow down suddenly, and then it was a rapid beating!

"Thump thump! Thump thump thump!! Thump thump thump thump!!!"

Finally, waited for it!!!

"Gen..."

Just wanted to continue communicating with Genta Nakai, he heard a *boom* sound from the receiver, and then all kinds of exclamations sounded...

The chaotic atmosphere could be felt even in Tokyo!

Then he heard Genta Nakai's breathing become heavier and heavier, and his voice was a bit trembling:

"Naoki-san, someone jumped off the building..."

"..."

So fast!

Naoki Nagayama forcibly suppressed the vibration in his heart and said to Genta Nakai:

"Genta-san, go back to the apartment first... It's best not to go out these two days!!"

"According to the plan we made before, all preparations have been completed. When the government saves the market, flatten the futures contracts!!"

"It won't be too slow, the US government will take action soon!"

"Hai!" The voice in the receiver quickly calmed down. "I'll go back immediately..."

"Buy more food! Keep it in the refrigerator! Don't go out!" "..."

After solemnly instructing Genta Nakai, Naoki Nagayama discovered that Akina was sitting on the sofa holding little Xia Hua, not letting her disturb him...

"Akina..."

He just wanted to speak, Akina seemed to have understood,

"Naoki-san, are you going to work?!"

"Hmm... the US market is already in turmoil!"

"Then I'll take Hua-chan back first!"

Akina picked up the little one very sensibly and said to her,

"Hua-chan, say bye-bye to Dad, Dad is going to work!"

Although reluctant, the little one still raised her small arm and waved like an adult:

"Dad, bye-bye~"

"Hmm, Hua-chan be good..." Naoki Nagayama pinched his daughter's face. "Go back to bed and sleep... and tomorrow when you open your eyes, Dad will be home!"

"Good~~"

When sending Akina out, Naoki Nagayama asked; "Are you driving yourself? Do you want me to find someone to send you back?"

"No need... It's A-Fu who drove over, he's still waiting in the parking lot..."

"That's good... hard work for him..."

Until sending the two into the car, Naoki Nagayama returned to the floor of Tree Friend Capital... After seeing the front desk Yuko Tianzhong, Naoki Nagayama turned right and came to the workroom of the investment managers...

"Clap! Clap!!"

Two claps made everyone shudder, and all looked at Naoki Nagayama.

"Minna-san..."

Naoki Nagayama looked around and said solemnly,

"Just received news from Genta-san from New York, USA... The stock market over there has plummeted!! Almost collapsed!"

"Tomorrow, the impact will reach Tokyo! We expect that this turmoil will last until the end of the month..."

"Tomorrow... the entire Japanese financial circle will know the foresight of our Tree Friend!!! Everyone will acknowledge the judgment of our Tree Friend!"

"So, you have to take action!!!"

"The previous conservative strategy will let us avoid the most dangerous wave, and then next... how to make money in the environment of a stock market crash, this is something I let everyone think about a month ago!"

"Now, you can start using it!!"

"Call our previous clients and grab them back!"

"Call the clients of other securities companies and grab them over!!"

"After this stock market crash passes, our Tree Friend Capital will become one of the largest investment companies in Japan!!!"

"..."

After Naoki Nagayama finished speaking, the entire office was stunned for a while, seemingly not having digested such news!

Clearly, Tree Friend Capital was the laughing stock of the entire industry during the day!!

Clearly, everyone thought Naoki Nagayama was a layman leading an expert, completely messing around!

And then you say... the stock market in the United States really plummeted?!

The stock market crash really came?!!

The wolf really came?!!

Just when everyone was still stunned, Naoki Nagayama scolded:

"Still in a daze, take action! Call!!!"

"Hai..." "Hai!!" "Hai hai hai!!!" "..."

With one exclamation after another, the employees of Tree Friend gradually began to get excited, and everyone's breathing became rapid... They finally understood!

The situation... has turned around!!!

Feeling the calls in the office getting higher and higher, gradually becoming abnormal... Naoki Nagayama hurriedly retreated!

Passing by the front desk, he said to Yuko Tianzhong:

"Yuko-chan, go and order some midnight snacks and refreshing drinks for everyone..."

"And prepare to stay up all night..."

"Ah?"

Yuko Tianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound from the office, trembling all over,

"Hai!!!"

"Hmm!" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Work hard... The year-end bonus will definitely triple this year!"

"Hai!!! (Voice cracked)"

Seeing that everyone at Tree Friend Capital was full of vitality again, Naoki Nagayama returned to the office with satisfaction, and then called the backbone members in other countries to ensure the smooth progress of the operation!

Tomorrow, the entire Japan, no, the entire world will change drastically! ===== CHAPTER 1283 =====
