On Monday, June 16, 1986, the U.S. stock market crashed, the Dow Jones index fell 507 points, 22 percent of the broader market, and its market value evaporated by $900 billion.

This is the information that Liu Lang got in the "long river" of memory.

The term "Black Monday" was also born out of this stock market crash, and the term seems to have the power of a curse, and most stock market crashes since then have occurred on Mondays.

In fact, it is very understandable that the stock market will fluctuate sharply every Monday, because the stock market will be closed on the weekend, and a lot of information will come out in two days, and some people will make judgments, and when the market opens, the index will inevitably fluctuate violently.

Liu Lang came to New York, the largest city in the United States, known as the capital of the world, a week in advance, and was followed by Sun Hu and Sun Mingren, as well as Louis Wang, who worked at the Harvard Institute for Economics.

Wilson did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Liu Lang's request, not to mention a Louis, even ten or eight people would lend it to Liu Lang, in his eyes, Liu Lang's value was much higher than those subordinates.

As for Liu Lang's parents, they didn't follow, they were looking for a house near Stanford University, Liu Lang was about to go to school, and the place to live had not yet been confirmed, Liu Lang's parents didn't understand anything, the task of the two was to choose a suitable place and feel comfortable in a house, as for taking them to find a house, it was handed over to Moran.

Moran went to Los Angeles a few days ago, and took Liu Donglai and his wife and Sun Hu's daughter-in-law to walk around Stanford University, which can be settled in a few days, and then has to find a kindergarten for Sun Hu's son, of course, all the expenses are paid by Liu Lang, Liu Lang can't come up with tens of millions of dollars now, but tens of thousands of yuan is really small for him, not to mention that he is about to become a multimillionaire.

Liu Lang came to New York with four people, and there is no need to find a hotel, Nike has set up a branch in New York, and Knight's time in New York for a year is basically the same as the time in the Silicon Valley headquarters, so he also owns a property here, which is a high-rise residence on the 31st floor, with an area of more than 120 square meters, the price of this residence is more than 300,000 US dollars, close to 3,000 US dollars per square meter, this price can be regarded as a luxury house, but Liu Lang always feels that this price is really weak compared with the houses in the first ring of the capital, of course, that refers to the era after 20 years。

The mansion is located less than 300 meters from Manhattan Square, and the famous Times Square can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In Liu Lang's previous life, New York's Times Square was known as the crossroads of the world, and a grand New Year's Eve party was held every New Year's Day.

However, that was the scene twenty or thirty years later, and now it is eighty-six years, even if it is the most prosperous area of the first city in the United States, it can only be regarded as barely eye-catching in Liu Lang's eyes.

The area around Times Square is indeed bustling, with neon lights shining all night, but the buildings are still very common, such as the tallest building of the New York Times, which is only 52 stories and less than 200 meters high, and has not reached half the height of the two skyscrapers called the Twin Towers a few kilometers away, but these two skyscrapers will collapse ...... fifteen years later.

In addition, there is the famous Broadway, the world's largest number of luxury jewelry stores on Fifth Avenue, which are iconic terms in Times Square and even in New York, and countless foreigners have heard the legends about these places and flocked to this place without hesitation.

However, in Liu Lang's eyes, the so-called "beautiful" places of New York in the 80s could not fully show New York, and he felt that depravity, violence and disorder were more appropriate.

The streets around Broadway are filled with erotic performances, and pink neon lights and revealing women convey a vein-pumping atmosphere for men.

And in the darker corners are the turf of the down-and-out homeless and the idle drunkards, and yes, the blacks who hide in the shadows and engage in shady business......... No, blacks only play the role of thugs, and behind them are often white crime groups with deep backgrounds, such as the most famous New York gangs and Italian mafia, whose tentacles are all over New York, and even the police are deeply jealous.

The law and order situation in the United States is terrible, the problem of racial discrimination is getting worse, and the gangs are very arrogant, so in the 80s and 90s, it was really not a paradise, at least for those who are in the ordinary class.

However, the security here in Manhattan is still much better, after all, there are rich people living here, and there are obviously a lot more police around Times Square, and some people who look like roe deer will be taken aside for questioning, and they will be pressed to the ground if they resist a little.

Liu Lang stood in the room and looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, to be honest, the Times Square below may not be much better than the night market in his hometown of Fucheng more than 20 years later, but the wealth here is not comparable to other places.

Sun Hu still walked around the house as always, and opened the window to see if anyone outside could climb in, but this was more than thirty floors, unless it was Spider-Man.

Sun Mingren and Louis Wang cleaned up the room, and then put the KFC fast food bought from downstairs on the table, several people had not eaten dinner yet, and Liu Lang was tired after a day's flight, so he wanted to rest early.

The four of them simply washed their faces and sat around and ate.

"Brother Wang, the stock market has been very interesting recently, and it is developing in the direction I want, how about it? Do you want to make a profit?"

Liu Lang asked as he stuffed a piece of chicken leg into his mouth.

Louis Wang has been in contact with Liu Lang for the past two days, and he knows that the reason why Liu Lang wants to call himself is to create an opportunity for him to stand out in front of Professor Wilson.

This is enough to show that Liu Lang is very sure of this stock market crash, and in fact, the stock market seems to be developing in the direction he expected, and the violent shock of the market has increased the probability of a stock market crash a lot.

Technically speaking, if the probability of a stock market crash a month ago was 1 in 10,000, then now it will reach 1 in 100 percent, although it is still very low, but if Liu Lang's "prediction" is added, Louis Wang is sure that there will be a very high probability of a stock market crash, although he is not sure that the Dow Jones index will leak 500 points in one day, but 300 points is still possible.

"I've been working for five years, and I don't usually save any money, only $10,000, and I brought it all. ”

Louis Wang placed a credit card on the table.
