On the night of the full moon, Li Yan in the student apartment, after cautiously looking out of the window, closed the curtains tightly, turned off the lights, took a deep breath, and sat back in the chair. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Consciousness was immersed in that dim space, and the divine thoughts were gently attached to the first book of life and death, and the selection of the summoned person in his mind flashed. Immediately, Li Yan's consciousness retreated into reality.

Ignoring his somewhat drowsy head, Li Yan opened his eyes and stared at the faint blue light that began to flicker in front of him.

"Buzz"

After a slight vibration in the air, a fleeting figure suddenly appeared in the blue light.

The figure slowly solidified, and a few seconds later, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed Western man appeared in front of Li Yan.

If you don't look closely, he is no different from ordinary people, but when you get closer, you will find that there is no trace of human emotion in those dark eyes, cold and indifferent, and the chill hits people.

The blue light dissipated, and the man stood in place, motionless. Li Yan looked at it curiously for a while, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, recovering his spirits.

After summoning the revenant from the underworld, it will take a while for them to receive the message. At the same time, the Book of Life and Death would implant in his soul the order of absolute obedience to Li Yan, in case he had other thoughts.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Yan's heart moved, and he opened his eyes that were pretending to sleep. At this time, the figure in front of him was no longer stunned just now, and his eyes looked at the furnishings in the room curiously.

"Got it?"

"Yes, master!"

In response to Li Yan's casual question, the revenant was particularly respectful, hurriedly bent down, and replied in a low voice.

Scratching his neck uncomfortably, Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't call me master, it makes me uncomfortable!" Well? Call me boss in the future! ”

"Okay! Boss! ”

Looking at the revenant in front of him, who looked like a butler, Li Yan clenched his fists and threw a punch into the air.

This is Jesse Livermore! A living legend of Wall Street in New York in the 20s of the 20th century! An investment bull who has dominated the American financial industry for decades!

Jesse Livermore, born in Massachusetts, USA, has a great life, but a crazy life. As a teenager, Jesse Livermore developed a keen interest in stock trading. At the age of 14, he worked for a stockbroking firm in Boston.

What really made Livermore famous was his series of short-selling activities between 1928 and 1929. During the 20s when the U.S. economy was booming, Livermore keenly observed that there was a lot of false data in the financial markets, and the economic situation was actually not as rosy as it seemed.

After careful investigation and calculation, Livermore predicted the largest bear market in the United States stock market, which would halve and plunge into a violent plunge.

The gambler-like Livermore made a decisive move, sold all the stocks in his hands, and shorted the U.S. stock market in a big way. Sure enough, on October 24, 1929, the stock market of the New York Stock Exchange suddenly plummeted, triggering panic in the market and investors, which in turn led to a larger stock sell-off.

This is the famous "Black Thursday" in the history of American capital, and since then, the capitalist world has been plunged into an unprecedented recession, which has not eased for several years.

After a massacre, Livermore made enough money to squander for several lifetimes. According to conservative estimates, he made at least $130 million in this stock crisis!

If calculated according to the inflation rate, this is equivalent to more than $16 billion today, which shows the viciousness of Livermore's vision and the cleverness of his means.

But it is sad that Livermore did not have a happy old age. With a gambler-like personality, he suffered heavy losses after several misjudgments in a row, and then suffered from severe depression. Finally, in the bathroom of a hotel, he committed suicide with a gun at the age of 63.

Although it did not end well, Livermore played a very important role in the development of stock trading, especially precision speculation.

Warren Buffett, Soros and others, who now dominate the U.S. stock market, have personally admitted that they are deeply influenced by Livermore and highly respect his trading methods.

is such a legend known as the "Wall Street Bear" who actually grovels to himself like this. As a professional finance student, how could Li Yan not be excited.

Like a curious baby, Li Yan began to ask Livermore for advice on stock trading. chatted until the second half of the night, when Li Yan finally couldn't support it anymore and fell on the bed.

When I woke up, it was past 10 o'clock. Closing his eyes again, his consciousness came to the dimly lit space. I saw Livermore clinging to the first book of life and death, frowning and feeling something.

Li Yan knew that he was using the power of the Book of Life and Death to gain a new understanding of the changes in the real world. Due to the seal of power, Li Yan could not manifest the summoned revenant soul at this time.

In other words, no one other than him could see the summoned spirits. Moreover, the revenant can only stay in this dim space and cannot leave his body for a long time. At the same time, the revenant does not have access to real objects in the real world.

Fortunately, they can directly instill into their souls the changes in the real world after their death through the medium of the Book of Life and Death.

For this kind of supernatural ability, Li Yan will not delve into the principle of this. The Book of Life and Death, an item that only exists in myths and legends, is not something he can guess at will.

After a few more glances, Li Yan retreated from the dim space. I stretched out comfortably, got up and washed up.

After finishing his work, Li Yan nibbled on a loaf of bread and walked out of the student apartment. Since he was still recovering from his injuries, he didn't have to go to work in the antique workshop.

Li Yan, who had been busy, suddenly became idle, but he didn't know what to do, and wandered aimlessly around the streets of New York.

"Huh? Why are you here again? By the time Li Yan came back to his senses, he had already walked to Chinatown again before he knew it. It's good that I've been here for more than half a year, and I haven't been here yet! Take advantage of the time today to enjoy the charm of Chinatown! ”

New York's Chinatown is the largest Chinese community in the Western Hemisphere. At the same time, a large number of other nationalities from all over the world also gather here. After hundreds of years of integration and evolution, it has formed its own unique customs.

However, the commercial atmosphere of Chinatown is too strong to be visited by tourists. In addition to the shops, they are still shops, and there are basically not many cultural landscapes.

After a few laps in a lack of interest, Li Yan lost the urge to go shopping. After a few cursory glances, he prepared to walk out of the street.

"Get out of here! If this broken painting is Monet's water lilies, then I am Picasso! Get out of here, don't get in the way of my business! ”

"Boss! I really kid you! I'm really Monet's water lily genuine! ”

"Get out of here! If you don't go out, I'll call someone to drive you out!" ”

Li Yan'er's expression moved, and he stopped. After working in Lin's antique workshop for more than half a year, he also has some understanding of antique cultural relics.

As the founder and leader of the Impressionist method, Monet has a high status in the art world, and few people can compare with him.

And the water lily series in his later years is the pinnacle of his artistic creation. After 1880, he conceived and painted a series of water lilies in his home in Giverny, the most brilliant works of his life.

Monet created a total of 251 water lily paintings, but only 12 are on the market. The rest are either collected by museums around the world, or are kept in the hands of various collectors as heirlooms, and will not be traded at all.

At Christie's By's in London in June 2008, a 1919 water lily by Monet sold for $80.61 million, making it the highest ever sold for a Monet work.

How could such a work coveted by an artist appear here? Maybe it's because he has been working in the antique workshop for half a month, Li Yan is very sensitive to this kind of thing. Doubts in his heart, and he didn't have anything to do now, after a deep groan, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the quarrel.
