Chapter 2201 Black Monday

Since Zhao Shucheng has decided to participate in the stock market, what he is familiar with is the trading in the 21st century. The current stock trading is very different from that in the 21st century, so he needs to familiarize himself with the stock market and find a suitable trader.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng himself could also serve as a trader, but before he became familiar with stock trading in this era, Zhao Shucheng would not rashly invest all his funds into it.

What's more, Zhao Shucheng doesn't have much money of his own. If he wants to raise a large amount of funds in a short period of time, build his reputation in the stock market, and then attract banks to borrow money to invest in stocks, this is the best option.

As for the reason why Zhao Shucheng didn't trade stocks in Hong Kong, could he say that it was because he knew that Hong Kong Island would directly announce a stock market suspension when the stock market crash came, making it impossible for him to make the most profit? Moreover, compared to Hong Kong, Zhao Shucheng would rather go to the island country to earn foreign exchange, not to mention that after Black Monday, the island country quickly recovered and even rose rapidly, so it was completely possible to carry out a second harvest. The money earned in this way is not as simple as one plus one equals two. If the operation goes smoothly, Zhao Shucheng said that he will definitely make several times the profit.

After Zhao Shucheng arrived at the securities exchange, he saw many stock traders staring at the screen hanging in the hall, as if they were eager to get in. Zhao Shucheng wanted to say to these people: "Stock trading is risky, you need to be cautious when entering the market, it can kill people."

But he also knew that no matter what he said, it would not sway these people. In fact, everyone who entered the stock market knew that it was a very complicated place, especially the stockholders in Hong Kong, who had witnessed many people go from poor boys to millionaires, and from tycoons to nothing, and even jump off buildings, but it could not stop them from fantasizing about the day when they would become rich.

Besides, Zhao Shucheng had no reason to persuade them. After all, he had to make his first pot of gold from the stock market. Since Zhao Shucheng knew the volatility brought about by Black Monday and there was so much value in it, he naturally couldn't miss it.

Zhao Shucheng quickly opened an account here, and then used the only funds he had on hand to trade stocks. Basically, he made short-term operations. He would sell the stocks when they rose to a certain level, and then switch to other stocks to continue.

Soon, the hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in Zhao Shucheng's hand turned into millions, and Zhao Shucheng no longer traded stocks in the hall, but went directly to the middle-level customers. In fact, Zhao Shucheng's purpose was the same, because only here were there specialized stock traders, and he just wanted to find a suitable person and let the other party do a big deal with him.

In fact, within just half a day, Zhao Shucheng had already become famous. It's not that no one has made money by speculating in stocks, but in such a short period of time, he was able to buy low and sell high, and even seize every key node of the stock. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

So when Zhao Shucheng came to the VIP room, those traders seemed to be staring at the screen in front of them, but in fact they were secretly looking at Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng was also looking around at other people, looking for a trader that suits him, ready to show off his skills, attract more people's attention, and accumulate a certain amount of capital so that he could seek help from the bank.

However, Zhao Shucheng looked around and didn't find any familiar faces here. He felt a little disappointed, but also a little relaxed. After all, Zhao Shucheng didn't want to come to a mixed world. There were too many uncertainties in it. If you don't pay attention, you will be involved in some storm. Especially in the stock market, if you encounter any storm, no matter how good your vision is, you can't stop the dealer, and you may even become cannon fodder.

After all, compared with other stock markets, the securities exchanges in Hong Kong are full of monsters and demons. You may lose everything if you invest in some unreal or wicked stocks.

After waiting in the VIP room until the afternoon, Zhao Shucheng said to a trader, "Let's go to the tea restaurant outside for a drink?"

The other party looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Lei Dongbao, what's your name?"

"Zhuang Shaoqiang, I wonder if Master Lei has any advice for you? There were so many people in the securities exchange just now, why did you only come to me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice. You are very smart and I like smart people. Let's be frank. I need a trader now, and I think you are the right person."

When he said this, Zhao Shucheng's expression became serious, and he looked at Zhuang Shaoqiang in front of him without blinking.

Zhuang Shaoqiang looked at Zhao Shucheng nervously and said, "I am a trader, but..."

He didn't understand why Zhao Shucheng chose him and even came to him directly without knowing anything about him.

"Why I need a trader, you don't have to know, I will let you know when the time comes. What you have to do now is to tell me whether you accept or reject it!"

Zhuang Shaoqiang fell silent for a moment. He was not sure what Zhao Shucheng's intentions were, and kept guessing what Zhao Shucheng's conspiracy was. After all, they had never met before, and it was unreasonable for him to let him be his trader after just meeting him once.

After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Shaoqiang finally agreed. After all, he was just a trader, and everything was just for survival. He had heard about Zhao Shucheng's reputation in the securities exchange a long time ago, and he didn't think there was any need for the other party to harm him.

"Okay, Mr. Lei, I agree!"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "By the way. Are you familiar with the stock market operations of the island country?"

Zhuang Shaoqiang was stunned for a moment and said, "I know a little bit, but I haven't done anything, so I dare not say anything. If Lei Shao needs me, I can go and find out, and it won't delay your business."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you two months to go to the island country to familiarize yourself with stock market operations. All expenses during this period will be on my account. But in October, I will meet you on the island country. By then, I need you to be a first-class trader. Can you do it?"

"I can, Mr. Lei!"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Okay, the salary is two thousand dollars a month. After the operation, we will pay commission according to the industry rules. Is that okay?"

"No problem, Mr. Lei. In fact, the salary doesn't need to be that high."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I have the final say on whether it's high or not, you just need to do your own thing. Let's sign a contract first, which will bind both of us."

In fact, Zhao Shucheng didn’t care what the trader’s market price was. Two thousand US dollars was not a lot for him. As long as his goal was achieved, this money was just a small amount.

After Zhao Shucheng signed the contract with Zhuang Shaoqiang and gave him the first month's salary, he asked him to apply for a visa and go to the island country first.

Zhao Shucheng was not in a hurry to go to the island country. Instead, he settled down in Hong Kong. While traveling, he also maneuvered in the stock market. Soon, the name of a stock god spread in Hong Kong.

That day, Zhao Shucheng came to HSBC with some information to seek loan support. The other party had known Zhao Shucheng's name for a long time. After knowing Zhao Shucheng's purpose, his eyes suddenly lit up, trying to know if Zhao Shucheng had any big moves.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party in silence. The other party seemed to realize that he had said too much, so he could only apologize quickly and report it.

In the end, Zhao Shucheng successfully obtained the loan because he had his own company and his transaction flows were very healthy. In addition, Zhao Shucheng was known as the stock god, so it was very convenient for him.

After getting the money, Zhao Shucheng immediately booked a flight to the island country of Tokyo, prepared to meet up with Zhuang Shaoqiang, and began to prepare to enter the venue.

Because Zhuang Shaoqiang had already arrived in the island country, he was waiting at the airport early after receiving Zhao Shucheng's call. After the two met up, the other party took Zhao Shucheng to a hotel near the securities exchange to stay, which was also agreed upon by Zhao Shucheng and the other party a long time ago.

After entering the room, Zhao Shucheng put down his luggage and went to take a shower. After he felt better, he came out with Zhuang Shaoqiang to inspect the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The two of them were walking through the busy streets. Zhao Shucheng not only wanted to go to the exchange, but also wanted to familiarize himself with the environment here. After all, they would be here for a long time.

A few days later, it was October 15th.

Zhao Shucheng and Zhuang Shaoqiang came to the stock exchange together. Zhao Shucheng opened an account here directly and even asked the exchange to provide the maximum leverage.

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's generous attitude and the fact that there were hundreds of millions of dollars in Zhao Shucheng's account, the other party readily agreed. After all, if Zhao Shucheng made a mistake in operation, the position would be forced to close soon, and they would not suffer any losses at all.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng did not enter the stock market immediately, but waited and watched.

Zhuang Shaoqiang didn't quite understand Zhao Shucheng's actions. After all, he said he came here to trade stocks, but he just watched for many days without taking any action. If it weren't for the cash in his pocket, he would have thought he was dreaming.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng didn't want to operate, but for the sake of being more cautious. If he used leverage to trade stocks and failed to enter the market at the right time, it might be just a fluctuation in the stock market that would make him lose all his money.

What's more, he is not very familiar with the stock market situation in the past two days. He must always understand the situation in order to make accurate judgments.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng knew very well that when the stock market opened on October 19, Monday, there would be great fluctuations in the global stock market. But Zhao Shucheng knew that this omen had already appeared as early as the 16th.

The first to have problems was the New York Stock Exchange, which fell 16 points, nearly 91%, on the th. However, due to the time difference and the fact that the market closed soon, other exchanges were not affected. However, there were many sell orders accumulated in the New York Stock Exchange. When the market opened on Monday, the panic in the market began to spread, and the stock market crash finally occurred.

In order to understand Zhuang Shaoqiang's thoughts, Zhao Shucheng went straight to a coffee shop and sat down with him.

"Mr. Zhuang, what do you think of the island country's stock market? Will it fall?"

Although Zhuang Shaoqiang didn't know what Zhao Shucheng was thinking, nor did he know why he asked this question, he knew it must be related to why Zhao Shucheng asked him to be a trader and even went to the island country.

"Judging from the current situation, the island nation's stock market is thriving and should only go up and not down."

Zhuang Shaoqiang did not really do nothing in the island country during the past two months. He strictly inspected the island country's stock market and even studied the attitudes of the island country's stock investors, so he made such a judgment.

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "You are not wrong. Judging from the current economy of the island country, the stock market is indeed on the rise. However, if there are external factors, the island country's stock market will fall."

Zhuang Shaoqiang said nervously: "Master Lei, you are not thinking of buying up the island country's stock market, are you? This is impossible. A small amount of money entering it will simply be wasted. You..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that crazy. The island's stock market is several times larger than Hong Kong's. No one in Hong Kong can just crash the market, let alone here."

Zhuang Shaoqiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He could see that if nothing unexpected happened, the island country's stock market would only rise and not fall, but external factors would be different. But he couldn't figure out what external factors would cause the island country's stock market to fall.

Soon he thought of something, looked at Zhao Shucheng in disbelief and said, "Master Lei, you're not saying it's a global stock market crash, are you? How is that possible?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuang, this is all speculation, so there is no need to discuss it here. We should go back!"

Zhuang Shaoqiang wanted to say something, but after looking at the people around him, he finally stopped talking and left with Zhao Shucheng.

After leaving the coffee shop, Zhao Shucheng and Zhuang Shaoqiang went straight back to the hotel where they were staying, ready to wait for news tomorrow.

In fact, the island country's stock market should not fluctuate much tomorrow. After all, the crisis will only break out when the New York market is about to close, but the island country's market has already closed. In fact, due to the time difference, when Asia received the news, it was already very late. On the 19th, there was only a slight drop. On the 20th, on the contrary, the market fell sharply as soon as it opened in the morning.

All Zhao Shucheng had to do was to go all out to buy the dip before the afternoon of the 19th, and then wait for the harvest to come.

After Zhuang Shaoqiang returned to the hotel, he was still a little bit incredulous. He couldn't wait to go to Zhao Shucheng's room and ask if there really was a stock market crash.

Seeing the other party's behavior, Zhao Shucheng knew that if he couldn't convince him, his operations would definitely be affected, so he directly told the other party his judgment.

Zhuang Shaoqiang initially thought that what Zhao Shucheng said was wrong, but when Zhao Shucheng said that the US economic development was slowing down, but the stock market continued to hit new highs, he combined his knowledge of securities and realized that what Zhao Shucheng said was probably true. After all, if there was a stock market crash in the US, it would inevitably cause great panic around the world, followed by a global stock market crash.
