Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 475 Left Eye Twitching
There are still four days until October 10th. Well, to be exact, there are still two days, because the market is closed on weekends. Thinking about what Nie Zhan said before, he had a sum of money deposited in America. Although I don’t know how much, he won’t tell me if it’s a small amount given his personality.

After washing up, Lu Jiaxin went to bed. Seeing that Nie Zhan was still reading the financial news, she took the newspaper away and said, "It's late, it's time to go to bed."

Nie Zhan looked at her with surprise, then quickly turned off the lights.

Lu Jiaxin knew that he had misunderstood, so she quickly moved to the bedside and asked, "How much money did you get back from selling all the stocks?"

If it was before, Nie Zhan would definitely tell her, but after she madly shorted the Dow Jones Index and the Hang Seng Index, she felt nervous whenever Lu Jiaxin mentioned money.

"Not much. Why are you asking?"

Lu Jiaxin stared at him and said, "Why, are you still on guard against me?"

Nie Zhan didn't beat around the bush and said, "If you want to short, I won't stop you, but you can't let me go with you. It's too risky. Once the position is liquidated, all your previous efforts will be gone."

Nie Zhan strongly disapproved of her gambling-like behavior. He couldn't stop her, so he could only ensure that he would not participate.

Lu Jiaxin pointed at her left eyelid and said, "My eyelid has been twitching these past two days. There's a saying in my hometown that if your left eye twitches, you'll have good fortune, and if your left eye twitches, you'll have disaster. My left eyelid has been twitching today, which means I'm going to make a fortune."

Nie Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Didn't you say that these were all feudal superstitions and shouldn't be believed? Why did you believe them?"

Lu Jiaxin denied his statement: "This is not feudal superstition, this is the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by our ancestors thousands of years ago. I have a hunch that the stock market will experience a major shock in the next few days."

How could Nie Zhan believe such a statement? "Stop making trouble. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

Lu Jiaxin thought about it and changed her mind: "Nie Zhan, let's make a bet. If I win, you are not allowed to stop me from making any investment in the future; if I lose, no matter what investment I make in the future, I will listen to you, and I won't do it if you don't agree."

"Are you serious?"

"If you don't believe me, I can write you a letter of guarantee. If you fail to do it in the future, you can take out the letter of guarantee."

Having said that, Nie Zhan asked, "What's the bet?"

"Lend me the deposit in America to short the Dow Jones Index with a leverage of 25 times," said Lu Jiaxin.

With a leverage of 25 times, the position will be liquidated if the market rises by 3%, which is nearly three times more risky than the previous leverage of 10. Unless you are absolutely sure, you will just give away money.

Thinking of what happened before, Nie Zhan asked, "Jia Xin, you used all your money to short Greencoin/Japanese Yen before, was it also based on your intuition?"

Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat. This was too sharp. "Yes. My left eye was twitching at the time. I thought it was an opportunity, so I took a gamble and won."

Nie Zhan was silent for a moment and then said, "I can lend you 25 million green coins to short the Dow Jones Index with a leverage of times. But I don't want a letter of commitment. I want you to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Whether you win or lose, you have to agree to it."

Lu Jiaxin had a bad feeling: "What do you want to say first?"

"We'll get engaged when you graduate." Lu Jiaxin glared at him angrily. This guy was taking advantage of her. "I'll graduate from college next year. Getting engaged at 20 is too early."

Nie Zhan showed a hurt expression: "Jia Xin, have you ever thought about getting engaged to me?"

Lu Jiaxin hadn't thought about breaking up, but she didn't want to be trapped so early: "You mean if I don't agree, you won't lend me the money?"

Nie Zhan is not a fool, how could he say such a thing: "No, even if you don't agree, I will lend you money to short sell. It's just that since we are engaged, I am not afraid that you will not want me anymore."

As he spoke, he showed a pitiful expression. After dating for such a long time, he had understood Jiaxin's personality. She would not tolerate any hard or soft tactics. Of course, she would not tolerate any hard or soft tactics once she made a decision.

Lu Jiaxin knew he was pretending, but he was willing to back her up, and now he was willing to spend such a large sum of money to gamble with her, which was rare: "Then you can arrange for someone to buy it tomorrow. As for the engagement, let's talk about it after I graduate from college."

In the past, when it came to engagement, she always said we would talk about it after we turned 25. Now she is willing to discuss it after she graduates from college, which is a concession.

Nie Zhan knew that he had to take his time and not rush, otherwise he would scare people away: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

The voice was so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Lu Jiaxin kissed him, and soon the room was filled with panting sounds. But Nie Zhan was too strong, and one time was not enough, so he wanted to do it again.

You can play around with me on weekends, but you can’t because you have to go to school tomorrow. Lu Jiaxin pushed me away and said, “You have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed!”

After that, he put on his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Nie Zhan wanted to go in but found the door was locked. When he finished his shower and went to bed, he found that Lu Jiaxin had fallen asleep. I have to say, this sleep is really good.

The next day, Nie Zhan made a transatlantic phone call as soon as he got to work. He was shocked when he got a message from the other party. After thinking for a while, he immediately asked someone to short the Dow Jones Index.

There were 80 million in the account, but Nie Zhan still bought 50 million, leaving 30 million in the account.

After school, Lu Jiaxin returned to the apartment and saw Nie Zhan at home. She asked curiously, "Don't you have a lot of things to do recently? Why did you get off work so early today?"

Nie Zhan pulled Lu Jiaxin into the room and said to her in a low voice, "I just got the news that the American stock god is selling his stocks."

When he got the news, he was shocked and thought Jiaxin might win this time. He had no hope before. But even though he thought she would win, Nie Zhan was still unwilling to take the risk. There could be no mistakes in the 17% stake, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Warren Buffett, the stock god, is well-known to anyone who has any knowledge of finance. However, he sold his stocks before Black Monday, which Lu Jiaxin didn't know.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Then do you want to short with me?"

Nie Zhan refused. Jia Xin's gamble was already dangerous, so he had to proceed cautiously: "It's good that you just know about this, don't tell anyone else."

Lu Jiaxin didn't ask where he got the news from, but one thing was certain, Nie Zhan's connections were really powerful. This was exactly what she lacked, so the two of them complemented each other perfectly.

Seeing that she agreed so straightforwardly, Nie Zhan was not used to it: "You can give Su Heyuan a few words to let him sell the stocks."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "No, he sold all his stocks on Monday, and then shorted the Hang Seng Index with a 10x leverage like me."

Nie Zhan said nothing. He himself was unwilling to be so radical and could not stop others from taking risks with Jia Xin to make a lot of money.
