Chapter 29: Target - Black Monday

  Lin Li, you wouldn't have fallen for this extremely handsome young master, would you? Seeing Lin Li staring at him in a daze, Yang Aifeng smiled and said.

  "My dear young master, can't you just stop teasing me? If I were five or six years younger, it might be possible for a handsome guy like you to fall under my charm. But now, I'm old and on the verge of becoming a leftover woman. A handsome guy like you is beyond my reach." Lin Li gave Yang Ai a sideways glance, saying this with some frustration, she was already 25 years old and had yet to meet a man who could move her heart.

  Yang Ai let out a chuckle and teased, "Lin Li jie, you were left over because you're too excellent, too beautiful, not many people dared to pursue you. But now it's different, with the appearance of this extremely handsome young master, you'll be driven out of the leftover women's team immediately, haha!!"

  "Yang Dashao, we're not poor anymore, it's getting late, let's set off, if we're late, we'll miss the flight." Lin Lixi didn't want to discuss this emotional issue with Yang Aiqian.

  Alright! Let's go. Yang Aiqian did not object either.

  Lin Lijie, we're going to the deep sea to study, not moving house, why are you bringing so many gifts? I'm only responsible for getting there with you, everything else has already been taken care of by my mom. As soon as she came out from home, Yang Ai arrived at Lin Li's parking spot, opened the car door and was stunned, seeing that the car was already filled with all sorts of items. After much effort, she finally managed to squeeze into a position and sat down with difficulty.

  I said, young master, you're already seventeen years old, and everything relies on your mom. You don't have a mother complex, do you? Lin Li, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but tease as she watched Yang Ai moving things around in front of her.

  Lin Lika's car was the latest imported BMW, which was specially equipped for her by Shen Mei. At first, Shen Mei thought that Yang Aiqian, this trouble-making young master, would not be able to study quietly in Yanjing, and if one day he was being chased and killed, it would be good for others to know that he was a person with identity and background, and not just anyone could move him, so as to play some protective role.

  However, Shen Mei didn't know that the current Yang Ai no longer needed to rely on a small sedan to protect him. As long as he took out any information from his past life memories, it would be enough to make people look up to him in admiration. Not to mention that with his personal strength, even ordinary masters were absolutely not his match, so why would he still need to rely on his family for protection?

  Lin Lijie, what's that thing in your hand... Yang Aiqian didn't get entangled in Lin Li's words. In this life, he was indeed very dependent on his mother and enjoyed this dependence. He didn't want to make excuses, so he changed the subject.

  "This is the newspaper you wanted last night, I passed by the newsstand this morning and brought one for you." Lin Li threw the newspaper to Yang Ai while driving.

  Taking over the newspaper, Yang Aifeng flipped through it casually and said with some pride: [Lin Lijie, didn't you say I was cheating you last night? How come you believed me again and even helped me buy a newspaper?]

  "This...this is only because you're my boss, otherwise I wouldn't be accompanying you to play." Lin Li said with a bit of guilt in her heart. In fact, she couldn't explain why she wanted to help this young master buy newspapers either, it was as if she had some sort of conditioned reflex, and naturally helped him without thinking.

  After these two encounters, she felt that Yang Aiqian was not the young master who only knew how to make trouble, as Shen Mei had said. This could be seen from his deep and profound eyes, and also from his unique analysis of the situation in Deep Sea City that day at the hotel, which made her feel that this young man was not an ordinary official's second generation.

  For this stock market newspaper, Yang Ai had been eagerly anticipating it. After obtaining the Financial God's Secret Book, he was thinking about how to make money and how to earn more financial power values.

  After considering the current historical background and timing, Yang Aifeng thought of a way to quickly become rich, that is, by relying on his memories from his past life. He knew the development trend of the world for more than 20 years in the future, with this he could make a fortune, and it would be a huge one, making him a big shot who can influence national politics.

  Imagine, in M country those super wealthy big families, behind every president of M country there is their support. These powerful families can control the political situation of M country because they control the economic lifeline of M country. Yang Ai wanted to create such a giant enterprise belonging to Huaxia country, but controlling the economy requires enough money, what comes fastest is making money from the stock market.

  Young master, what do you want to do with this newspaper? You're not thinking of speculating in stocks, are you? From the rearview mirror, Lin Li saw Yang Ai Qian enthusiastically reading the newspaper, just like a professional stock market analyst.

  Yang Aiwei smiled slightly, folding the newspaper and looking straight at Lin Li: [If I really plan to trade stocks, shouldn't you, a master of finance, give me some advice?]

  Lin Limei's eyes paused for a moment, not giving face at all, and directly criticized: [Young master, as for your entry into the stock market, I can only say that you are just looking for trouble when you have nothing better to do.]

  Lin Lijie, no one has ever discouraged me like you do. I was full of confidence at first, but before I even started, you poured a bucket of cold water on me. Yang Aiqian tilted her head, glared at Lin Li with a pretended angry expression.

  Young master, don't glare at me, I'm telling the truth. Do you know how many people jumped off buildings because of stock speculation last year? Last year's bear market, although it's been a year now, the government has been continuously introducing new policies to stimulate the stock market, but investors' confidence hasn't come out from under the shadow of the bear market.

  Listening to Lin Li's analysis, Yang Aiqian also felt that she made a lot of sense. However, relying on his memories from his past life, he knew that the stock market crash that occurred on October 19th, 1987, known as "Black Monday", was a global financial disaster that would be a great opportunity for him to make a fortune. But it was impossible for him to participate in that stock market crash domestically, so he had been thinking of ways to go abroad, specifically to Hong Kong via the deep sea. However, going to Hong Kong was not easy during that era, with visa issues being a major problem, and also requiring a significant amount of capital to invest in stocks.

  1987 was a crucial year, not just for the world, but also for Yang Aiqing.

  Before the stock market disaster, he only had two or three months left, so he wanted to go to the deep sea as soon as possible and start his plan to make a fortune. Sometimes he would complain that he was starting too late, why didn't he start making money earlier? If he had started one or two years ago, with this period of buffer time, he could have been better prepared.

  The 1980s was an era where gold was everywhere, as long as you had a bit of brains and a bit more courage, your fortune would no longer be just a dream.

  Yang Aiqian, who knows the future direction of the economy, can make a lot of money with any opportunity he finds, but now time is running out, and he can only choose some profitable and time-saving projects.

  What is a more profitable and time-saving money-making project.

  In his plan, Yang Aiqian had a project that could encircle a large amount of funds in a short period of time, and the project that could encircle huge wealth in a short period of time was only one, that is, the stock market. As we all know, the stock market can make a person rich overnight, but it can also make a person go bankrupt overnight.

  Lin Lijie, how much is your annual salary at Mei's company? To invest in the stock market, you must have capital, and Lin Li became Yang Ai's first target for robbery.

  "My dear young master, you're not thinking of playing any tricks on me, are you? My salary is already pitifully low, don't even think about docking my pay. Although I'm the assistant general manager at your Aunt Mei's company, my monthly salary is only 20,000 RMB, which isn't even comparable to the monthly profit of a small private business owner."

  Lin Li looked at Yang Ai's sly smile and felt a sense of unease in her heart, thinking that this young master wouldn't actually want to deduct his own salary, or else why would he ask about her annual salary.

  20,000 a month? My goodness, that's too much! I only have 1,000 yuan for discretionary spending per month. Yang Aiqian looked at Lin Li with feigned surprise.

  Lin Li heard this and her mind was filled with dark thoughts. The feeling of unease grew stronger, and she couldn't shake off the notion that Yang Ai was doing things on her own accord.

  "My dear young master, what exactly do you want to do? Please just say it all at once, you're making me a bit mentally unstable." Lin Li asked impatiently.

  Yang Aiqian chuckled and said: [Hehe, Lin Li sister, actually you misunderstood me, I just want to borrow some money from you, nothing else.]
