Chapter 2466 Testing each other!

A Bao now understands that after yesterday's sharp drop in the market, some people have gone bankrupt and started jumping off buildings.

Judging from the tone Wang Yue used, the stock market avalanche was probably just beginning, and jumping off the building was probably just beginning!
And in fact it was true. In the next few days, Abao found that the Japanese stock market had been plummeting. The drop was so terrifying that the entire stock exchange no longer had the laughter and joy of the past. It was so quiet that it was a little scary.

In such a tense atmosphere, the jumping off the building that day seemed to be a signal, and more and more people jumped from the building, and their behaviors became more and more innovative.

Therefore, it is unsafe to walk downstairs without any cover. Many people pass by quickly for fear of being involved.

Fortunately, Wang Yue and A Bao both bought short, so their funds continued to grow. In order to avoid being exposed, they always came early and left very late, just to avoid meeting those gamblers who had lost a lot of money.

After falling for several days in a row, the relevant Japanese authorities finally came up with a series of incentive strategies and urgently carried out market rescue. However, this was like pouring water into the desert. It only stabilized for two days before it collapsed like a flood.

Because Japanese stock investors do not trust the policies, the magnitude of this drop is even more severe than before, making investors feel that the end of the world is coming.

After a few days of this, Wang Yue estimated that after deducting various procedures, the funds he had in his hands had become more than 500 million US dollars, and even A Bao's funds had become 10 million US dollars.

Wang Yue knew that the time was almost right. Although the stock price would continue to plummet, it would slowly stabilize, and even start to rise slightly, and then continue to fall, but the speed of decline would not be too fast.

But making money is addictive. Seeing that Wang Yue was about to end this feast, Abao asked reluctantly,

"Brother, are we really going to end it like this? I think the Japanese stock market is still going to fall."

Wang Yue knew that not everyone was willing to give up a profitable business, just like A Bao’s friends were unwilling to give up treasury bonds.

Therefore, Wang Yue did not force him, but said lightly, "I know the stock market will continue to fall, but I am going to another feast. If you want to stay, you can stay for another month before leaving.

But you must remember that you must leave within one month at most, otherwise, the money you earn may not be as much as you do now.

Also, my next plan will start before the end of July, so remember to come to Hong Kong to find me then."

After listening to Wang Yue's words, A Bao thought of what his uncle told him, that if you want to make money in the stock market, you need to lose money first.

Therefore, he is not afraid of losing money, let alone not making much money.

Since he was somewhat skeptical about Wang Yue's decision, he said solemnly, "Brother, I also want to see if I can make more money. By the way, I also want to spend more time with Lingzi."

After hearing A Bao's reason, Wang Yue said unhappily, "If you want to spend more time with her, then just take her away. With the money you earn now, you can easily rent a store on Huanghe Road. Can't you just let her be her own boss?"

After listening to what Wang Yue said, A Bao felt that what Wang Yue said made sense, so he smiled and said, "Then you go back first. I will only play for a week at most, and then I will bring Lingzi back to Shanghai."

Wang Yue felt that Abao was tasting meat for the first time and was a little infatuated with it. Moreover, he was reluctant to buy out the food now to make money, so he did not force him and left alone.

……

However, it is only May now and it is still too early to fulfill the plan at the end of July, so Wang Yue went to Wall Street alone again.

In addition to opening an account there, Wang Yue also wandered around the local stock market for two months, and his funds increased from more than 500 million to more than 1 billion.

Abao stayed for more than a week and found that the decline in Japan's financial market had indeed stabilized a little, so he decisively withdrew and returned to Shanghai with Lingzi.

Because of the impact of the 414 stock incident some time ago, several bosses lost a lot of money, so many of the previously bustling stores in Shanghai are now vacant.

Abao just gave Lingzi a little more money and rented a shop for her, allowing Lingzi to open the restaurant she liked.

They said they were opening a shop for Lingzi, but in fact, the two of them were just doing business together.

The shop was rented by Abao, but Lingzi is the owner of the shop and also works as a part-time chef. In the future, Abao will get commission from Lingzi.

Lingzi is also a thoughtful person. The business she runs is what she learned in a Japanese restaurant, and she met Bao at Tokyo at night, so she named the store Night Tokyo.

It’s just that the relationship between the two is a little awkward. Now they can only be described as special friends, and cannot be called boyfriend and girlfriend.

The reason for this is that Abao still has his heart set on Xuezhi. Even after the two of them had their crazy time together, Lingzi tentatively asked Abao if he had ever thought of marrying her.

Po had just entered the sage state, but after hearing Lingzi's words, he became more like a Buddha and could speak.

Because Xuezhi still lives in Abao's heart, as for how much he likes Lingzi, that is really impossible, after all, the time they spent together was very short.

But Bao really likes Lingzi's body and personality, and also likes the perfect match between the two of them.

Lingzi is also a smart woman who knows what she wants. She saw that Abao has someone else in his heart. After testing that Abao is indeed single, she took the initiative to smile and said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed. It just so happens that I haven't had enough fun yet, and I don't want to be trapped by marriage. If you want me to accompany you, just come to me. Remember, I will always wait for you."

When Abao heard Lingzi's words, he immediately made up his mind that when the house could be bought and sold, he would buy the shop and register the house under Lingzi's name. Otherwise, he would be too sorry for Lingzi's heart.

After settling all the matters concerning Night Tokyo and waiting for Lingzi to officially open, A Bao hurried to Hong Kong and came to Wang Yue’s small villa here.

He walked into the living room and sat down. Without waiting for Wang Yue to pour him some tea, he asked anxiously, "Brother, what are we going to do next?"

Wang Yue saw that Abao had arrived a few days earlier than he had imagined, and did not indulge in the gentleness of the land, so he smiled and said, "What do you think of the situation in the Middle East?"

A Bao was a little confused by what he heard. Although he had learned a lot from his uncle and had gone to Japan with Wang Yue to broaden his horizons, he really didn't understand the relationship between the stock market and the international situation?
But he is a boy after all, and he is quite interested in war, so he said uncertainly, "The Middle East is a powder keg now, it can explode at any time. Iran and Iraq are hostile to each other, and I don't know when they will start fighting again." Wang Yue saw that A Bao knew so much, which was not easy, so he smiled and nodded and said, "The Middle East is a major oil exporting region, and their crude oil production affects the oil supply of the entire world. Therefore, once the situation is unstable, the price of oil will start to rise wildly."

This time, A Bao immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. He asked excitedly, "Brother, then shall we buy crude oil futures this time?"

Wang Yue saw that A Bao had guessed it, so he said seriously, "It's crude oil futures. You should open your account now while there is still time. Don't wait until I start to take action, and then you won't have a chance to get started."

When it comes to making money, everyone is very motivated. Take Abao for example. In the past, he would have completed the procedures slowly by himself. However, after listening to Wang Yue, he used his connections to complete the entire process in less than three days.

I have to say that Abao's father is very capable, because his eldest son is in Hong Kong, and he is a very capable person.

When Abao followed Wang Yue to transfer from Hong Kong to Japan, all the procedures were handled by Abao's brother.

Otherwise, a regular tourist visa would not allow you to stay that long.

However, A Bao is also a cautious person. He knew that Wang Yue might be trying to fish in troubled waters again, so he didn't even dare to tell his brother this time.

After Po completed the formalities, the two of them flew to New York and began this thrilling journey.

……

After the two flew to New York and took a short rest, it was July 7th.

The oil price on that day was US$21 a barrel, the futures price was RMB 16 a barrel, and one lot was one thousand barrels.

On July 31, the second day after Wang Yue arrived in New York, he used 700 million U.S. dollars to use a 10x leverage and bought 140,000 lots of crude oil.

Then he paid a deposit of nearly 250 million US dollars, and he had almost spent all the money he had.

A Bao didn't expect that Wang Yue would buy crude oil futures and use a all-in strategy. This is too simple and crude!

But he thought of Wang Yue's accurate prediction, so he followed without thinking.

However, A Bao had a total of 1000 million US dollars in his hands. He followed Wang Yue and used a leverage of ten times to buy lots of crude oil.

The large-scale transactions of the two shocked the people at the New York Stock Exchange. They all knew what this Eastern investor was up to.

You know, for such a large transaction, normal people would buy in batches gradually. If two people bought all at once, it would definitely crash the market and crude oil would fall sharply.

The way the two of them were doing business was simply throwing money into the water. It was something only a fool would do!
Everyone felt that Wang Yue and A Bao were being taken advantage of and were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

In fact, the market crash was very severe. Just after Wang Yue bought the shares, the stock price hit the limit down that day.

The daily settlement limit is a drop of three dollars, and Wang Yue bought 140,000 lots, which is equivalent to a loss of 400 million US dollars. As long as the drop continues for three more days, Wang Yue will be forced to close his position, and then he will lose all his money.

Of course, the same goes for Po, but after experiencing the madness in Tokyo, he became bolder and calmer, and his mental endurance was enhanced. So, even though he lost three million US dollars, he was still calm.

The next day, August 1st, although the market did not hit the limit down, it still fell by two dollars. Abao had already lost five million US dollars, which really made him panic, because if it fell by two dollars more tomorrow, it would exceed half of his margin and his position would be closed immediately.

In the entire New York Stock Exchange, everyone looked at Wang Yue and A Bao as if they were fools, as if they had seen the miserable appearance of Wang Yue and A Bao when they jumped from the rooftop the next day.

When Abao went back home at night, he was a little panicked. He didn't feel like visiting the international metropolis of New York. He asked anxiously, "Brother, if it doesn't work tomorrow, we can force a liquidation. With the remaining money, we can continue to buy less?"

Wang Yue didn't expect that A Bao didn't think of withdrawing his investment directly, but instead closed his position and bought again. He felt that A Bao's psychological quality was well-trained, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have friends in Iraq, and they said that they have recently imposed martial law there, which means that something big may happen. We can't wait any longer, otherwise we will miss the opportunity.

Don't worry, I still have money. I will help you add margin tomorrow and won't let you close your position."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, A Bao still felt a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything more.

But just because Abao didn't say it doesn't mean others won't say it. After all, ridicule and slapping in the face do sometimes happen.

Just now, at the hotel where Wang Yue and A Bao were staying near the exchange, the two went to attend an internal banquet held by the exchange.

There was a guy named James, whose family was a newly-minted oil tycoon. When he saw Wang Yue and A Bao, he immediately said in an exaggerated and joking manner, "Hey, look who this is? It seems like this is the first time I've seen such a strange face."

The others knew what James wanted to do, but they were all cunning and sly. Unlike James' family, which was just a nouveau riche, they had much higher quality. Although they looked down on market crashers like Wang Yue and A Bao, they still did not follow James in mocking them.

Although Po didn't understand what James was saying in his rapid English, he knew from James' expression that it was a mockery.

He was speechless, so he asked Wang Yue in his not-so-familiar English, "Brother Wang, isn't there a rumor that people in New York are all gentlemen? How come there are still people like this?"

Wang Yue glanced at A Bao and knew that the boy said that on purpose, so he smiled and said, "There are gentlemen everywhere, and there are ruffians everywhere. There is nothing we can do about it."

When Wang Yue said this, he seemed to have the aura of a superior, as if the clown in front of him was not worth mentioning at all.

The others immediately put away their contempt because of Wang Yue's aura. After all, they were businessmen who came to make money, not to offend people.

So, several people took the initiative to come over and greet Wang Yue, and also wanted to know more about this Oriental man.
