Chapter 75: Preparing for Black Monday

  "Haha!!! Isn't this too hungry?" Chen Nan said with a bright smile.

  "Hey, you guys eat slowly." Ma Guochang shook his head helplessly.

  Yang Ai was lying on the sofa in his villa, with the TV on, but his eyes were closed and he was thinking about something.

  The problem of coming to Hong Kong has been solved, and next, the stock market disaster of October 19, 1987, Black Monday is also approaching step by step. He knows that the more money invested in the stock market, the higher the return, so he had already thought about it before coming to Hong Kong.

  Buying a house in Hong Kong is intentional, first, to shut Ma Guo Chang's mouth. If he didn't buy a house, he would always be under Ma Guo Chang's eyes, and once he made any move, Ma Guo Chang would surely tell Yang Song about it. Second, after buying the house, he can use the property certificate as collateral for a bank loan, but his biggest headache now is that he doesn't have a Hong Kong ID card, and banks won't lend to a foreigner even with a property certificate as collateral.

  The first thing to do is to apply for a Hong Kong ID card.

  Money can make a ghost grind a mill!

  After spending over a million Hong Kong dollars, Yang Aiqing finally got his hands on a Hong Kong ID card and passport, and he even used his connections to buy a villa worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

  After the funds were ready, Yang Aiqian set off for R country with a full 5 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly 600 million yen, to start a financial plundering war.

  After entering October 1st, Yang Aiqian knew that he should start entering the implementation stage of Black Monday. Early in the morning, lying on his bed, he was thinking about things related to Black Monday. Although he had read books about finance and stock market, he didn't have any practical experience, so he must find a manipulator to help him. But where could he find a manipulator?

  But where can we find a stock operator? Ah, isn't the Hong Kong Stock Exchange full of them? We can go to the exchange and poach one.

  When she thought of being able to find a helmsman there, Yang Aifei's heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

  In R country, participating in the Black Monday war, the first and most important point is language. He and Chen Nan both don't know Japanese, so the operator to be found must find one who knows Japanese, so as to save a translation fee later. He doesn't lack money, but if he can save it, then save it.

  Leaving the villa, Yang Ai hailed a taxi and headed towards the Securities Exchange.

  Arriving at the securities exchange, Yang Aiqian first walked around inside and saw that everyone was staring intently at the large screen in the center of the hall. In fact, he wanted to tell each person: "The stock market can be deadly." However, his heart was also conflicted because his real first pot of gold had to be scooped up in the stock market; otherwise, subsequent plans could not be implemented.

  Stock market involves risks, enter with caution!

  For others, it may be necessary to be cautious, but for Yang Aiqian, a time-traveler, it's different. He has memories of the future, and as long as history doesn't change, he's guaranteed to make a profit. Even a three-year-old child can do this kind of business without losing money.

  It serves you right!

  As he walked around the hall, Yang Ai looked at those retail investors with some manic laughter, some expressions filled with deep resentment, and some even sat on the ground crying. He could only shake his head and sigh.

  After finishing the hall, he came to the place where those medium-sized customers invested. He knew that it was impossible to find a manipulator in the hall, and to find a manipulator, he had to come to the place of medium-sized customers. Going to the VIP room was even more impossible, as those who could help VIP customers manipulate were now unaffordable for him.

  Ah! Sorry, sorry. Yang Ai's eyes were constantly scanning around when a voice with a hint of apology suddenly sounded beside her ear.

  Looking around, a man who appeared to be 27 or 28 years old, dressed neatly, was bowing 90 degrees to a middle-aged woman. At first glance, it was clear that he was using the standard R-country apology method, but what was strange was that although the apology method was indeed from R-country, his speech was authentic Hong Kong dialect.

  "Are you blind? Such a big person and you didn't even see it." The middle-aged woman's voice was very loud, with a bit of a river-east-lion-roar flavor.

  Sorry! Sorry. The man bowed again at a 90-degree angle, showing his apology.

  "Hmph! Consider myself unlucky, letting someone like you knock me down." The middle-aged woman saw the man bowing and apologizing profusely, so she didn't want to make things difficult for him over a small matter. After all, there were many people in the securities trading hall, and if she continued to be difficult, it would seem petty of her.

  Standing on one side, Yang Aiqian witnessed the entire event unfold until the middle-aged woman left. Only then did he walk towards the man, his purpose simple: to take a closer look at him. At first glance, it was clear that the man was well-educated, but there were only two reasons why someone like him would be present at the securities trading floor: either he was a stock speculator or a manipulator. However, Yang Aiqian couldn't shake off the feeling that this man didn't seem like a typical stock investor, and the possibility of him being a manipulator seemed higher. Furthermore, the man's 90-degree bow earlier suggested that he might be from R Country or had lived there before. But his fluent Hong Kong accent ruled out the possibility of him being from R Country. With all these factors aligning with Yang Aiqian's search for a manipulator, he decided to approach the man and ask him directly if he was indeed a manipulator.

  Hello! Yang Ai asked Hou very politely.

  Hello! May I ask who you are?

  That man was a bit strange. Why would someone who looked like an underage boy greet him, but out of politeness he still responded with a sentence.

  Hehe! My name is Yang Aiqian, I'm looking for you mainly because I have a few things to ask you, are you available now? Let's find a place to grab a drink and chat while we're at it. Yang Aiqian's tone was very calm and steady, not at all like what someone of his age would say.

  Hello! My name is Xu Xiangqian. Xu Xiangqian was introducing himself while carefully observing Yang Aiqian, this unfamiliar young man, and nodded slightly, indicating that he was convenient.

  Mr. Xu, what would you like to drink? The two of them walked into a cold beverage shop next to the securities exchange.

  Thank you, I can do it casually. Xu Xiangqian was still so humble and polite, but his eyes never left Yang Aiqian, as if he wanted to see through her. However, he ended up disappointed, from start to finish Yang Aiqian's expression didn't change a bit, still so calm and peaceful.

  Are you an R national?

  When the waiter brought the drinks back and left, Yang Aiqian picked up a cup of lemon tea and took a sip. Her eyes met Xu Xiangqian's for the first time, and her gaze also became sharp at that moment.

  Not really, it's just that I've studied in Russia before, so I'm quite used to it and have become a bit like a Russian. Xu Xiangqian didn't know why Yang Aiqing asked this question either, but at the moment when he exchanged glances with Yang Aiqing, his thoughts seemed to be seen through by Yang Aiqing, which made him very surprised.

  Hehe, I thought you were a Russian. Don't be nervous, I didn't look for you for anything big, just that I'm very curious about you. Yang Aiqian replied with a smile, he was indeed curious about this man who looked like a Russian.

  Hehe! I'm also curious why you came to me, there are so many people in the securities exchange, but you specifically found me. I don't think it's just because you want to ask if I'm from R country or not? Xu Xiangqian is no fool, after seeing Yang Ai's sharp eyes, he was on guard, he trusts his own judgment, this person who looks like a young man in front of him is absolutely not simple.

  Haha! You're very clever, I like dealing with clever people, let's open the window and speak brightly. I currently need a trader, and you appeared in the securities trading hall, I think you should be a trader. Yang Aiqian first smiled lightly, but when he mentioned the trader, his expression immediately became serious, staring at Xu Xiangqian without blinking.

  I am a manipulator, but... Xu Xiangqian was a little unbelievable, and Yang Aiqian, a minor, actually needed a manipulator. This made him unbearable, so he stopped talking and waited for Yang Aiqian to give him an explanation.

  "Why do I need a broker, you don't need to know now, you'll find out later. What you need to do is agree or refuse?" Yang Aiqian's tone was unusually firm, with a sense of indifference. If he hadn't taken a liking to Xu Xiangqian being an R-country overseas student, he wouldn't have been willing to ask such a young broker.
