Wall Street, Manhattan, New York.

Immerse yourself in a world of computers and flickering electronic screens, and experience a dizzying array of distorted visuals, all of which are made to feel the only two words of "thrill".

Young Lu Kaiwen was observing all the breath he could catch with a critical eye.

For a whole week, Kevin Lu shuttled back and forth between the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, and he remained nervous all the time in his leisurely demeanor. He was observing everything he could see, and he was comparing everything that would confirm his conclusions.

Whether it's the New York Stock Exchange in a stately white building or the NASDAQ Exchange in a sleek blue and inky glass building, Kevin Lu feels the magic of these two engines that influence the international economy.

In the ever-changing red, green and blue digital cube of the LED electronic screen, different faces bloom with thousands of expressions.

Kevin Lu is just an ordinary face in thousands of expressions.

Only he knows how excited his heart is at the moment.

Since the moment he stepped into the New York Stock Exchange, Kevin Lu has never had a moment of peace.

These are not magnificent, and even some of the old and narrow trading halls give him a sense of sacredness to worship.

This is a holy place that all American young people yearn for, and the high annual salary given by the financial industry here makes every American young person rush to it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a person in a strange city in the far east who had to be happy with revenge, if it weren't for the fact that there was a girl in the far east who haunted her dreams, she should have been here, chasing her dreams in this electronic magic world.

I yearn for this, for this holy land of the world economy, for this paradise for speculation.

On college campuses, Kevin Lu has always taken Wall Street as the starting point of his career. He worked for it. Until one day, he suddenly got the bad news that his mother had passed away.

That day was destined to end his ideals, and he was destined to be only a hurried passer-by on Wall Street.

The rows of skyscrapers made the air above Wall Street seem oppressive, but what Kevin Lu felt here was irrepressible excitement. This feeling of excitement is an emotion that radiates outward along every sweat pore.

Kevin Lu sat on a round stool that could be raised and lowered, and one of his feet was shaking excitedly on the floor.

There are not many real traders in the stock exchange, and most of the people who keep shuttling and shouting here are traders from securities companies, as well as agent traders entrusted by large listed companies.

Kevin Lu is sitting in the trader's workspace of GS at the moment, observing everything in front of him.

During the short break in the middle of the day, he also received a hot dog and a cup of cappuccino.

"Kevin, I've wronged you. This kind of working meal is a little too simple for you. Raul Gonzalez was finally able to communicate with his friend sitting next to him.

Kevin Lu looked at the Spanish descendant with interest, and he couldn't suppress his envy.

This University of Michigan alumnus is a natural trader, and his super-fast speech speed and quick reflexes, inherited from his ancestors, are the essential qualities of a trader.

"Raul, you're so excited here. Looking at your rhythmic movements, I have nothing but envy. Kevin Lu devoured excitedly.

"You're kidding. I'll tell you the truth, in two years I'm going to have to get out of here, out of this hellish place. It's hell. I'm already on the verge of a breakdown. Raul hurriedly chewed on simple food.

"Why? I see you are working like a magician, how can you have such an idea? Lu Kaiwen was disagreed by the other party's words.

“Shit！ Do you know? GS's nearly 20 million securities clients around the world rely on a dozen of our traders to complete the huge amount of information they need. But there are thousands of stockbrokers and analysts. You should be able to know how hard we work. We're robots, and we're the fastest-paced robots. We can't do this kind of work for long. Besides, I'm tired of the speculative atmosphere here. Everywhere there is greed and gore for capital. My nerves were going to break. Raul's machine-gun speed seemed to be pouring out.

Kevin Lu struggled to chase every syllable of his classmates in the noisy environment, and he had to chew on the sharpness and profundity of the resentment.

Indeed, what he saw in the securities market of S City was very different from what he saw in front of him, there was a magnificent and comfortable trading room, with tension but not the extreme tension before the break.

The sparse appearance of his old classmate's head made him immediately understand the other party's distress.

"Maybe, it seems like I'm lucky. This place will always be a sacred place for me, and a glorious dream for you. Lu Kaiwen exhaled the grievances of the other party with heartfelt emotion.

"yes, we all dreamed of coming here, and it was like fireworks to me. The non-stop stimulation is tireless. I'm going to settle on Long Island in the future, and I'm going to start a vineyard and a wine factory. I'm so longing for that kind of casual farm life. Raul's eyes lit up.

"Absolutely. You, a Hispanic, are sure to be a successful winemaker. Lu Kaiwen was also infected by the strong longing in the other party's tone.

"Good. I may need your help then. How is it, has there been a big harvest these days? Share your harvest with me. I should be able to help you. Raul looked at his watch, and he got to business.

"The information I got was messy, there weren't big ups and downs in the Dow Jones, and the same was true for the Nasdaq. The banks I focused on on subprime mortgages also didn't have major setbacks. There do not seem to be any clear signs of the crisis you are mentioning. I'm a little confused. Lu Kaiwen tried to be as honest as possible, in front of the other party, he was really an immature novice.

"Hehe, it's all superficial calm. I don't pay much attention to the Dow Jones, and I recommend that you track the data from the S&P. In particular, you should pay attention to the frequency of transactions. Companies that face difficulties tend to become extremely active in trading. It kept changing hands until finally it couldn't go any further. The shareholders of a company with good performance tend to hold it tightly. We're always watching for change, and you're only starting to observe it now, and of course it's impossible to make such a discovery. Believe me, any bank or financial institution that mainly deals in subprime mortgages is struggling to support it. Don't forget, our company is the largest investment bank, and we always package the most garbage and invest it in the capital market. Hey, subprime mortgages are just one of them. You should understand. Raul put his mouth to Kevin Lu's ear.

"Yes, even the oldest banks like Bank H have been dragged down by subprime mortgages, let alone companies that specialize in subprime mortgages. But I need the right time, and I need to assess the consequences of this crisis. Lu Kaiwen also communicated with the other party in the same way as talking to each other.

"Soon, there are already lobbies in Congress that have begun lobbying. The Ministry of Finance is also thinking about a salvage. As for the final result, Wall Street is generally not optimistic. The level of subprime speculation is too deep for the Ministry of Finance to take care of. Once the first one can't hold on, there will be a chain reaction. I am convinced that this crisis will in no way affect a small amount. Raul looked like he was in the chest.

"Why do you have such a judgment? On what basis? "Kevin Lu is sincerely seeking advice. At this moment, he no longer pays attention to the exciting scenes in the securities market.

"This is not my judgment, this is the conclusion that GS has come to in the past six months by pooling the wisdom of all analysts. But we can't announce our conclusions, and the whole of Wall Street can't make them public. These are the rules of the game. You should know that the engine of the economy is finance, and the first ones that cannot survive this time are financial companies and institutions. What does this mean? This means that this crisis is a big storm that will affect many industries. He will spread throughout Europe and the United States. Raul's tone became more and more determined.

"So what industry is immune?" Lu Kaiwen's tone was obviously anxious.

"Not sure. One thing we know for sure is that all industries will face a shortage of funds. We're worse on Wall Street, and our credibility will take a big hit. All investors and speculators will not forget the shame that Wall Street once had. They will become cautious. You should know that investor confidence is the biggest driver of prosperity here for us. Alas, maybe my retirement plans could have been brought forward. Raul became discouraged.

Kevin Lu couldn't hold back his smile anymore, these descendants with Latin blood are always spontaneous and casual.

"Raul, does your analysis mention the impact of the crisis in Asia, especially in China? I need a conclusion on this. Kevin Lu has already begun to come to his own conclusions.

"I didn't pay attention to this. I'm not an analyst, I just focus on what's going on around me. So be it. Let's have a class reunion on the weekend. Come to my house. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to a professor at Long Island University. He is also a Senior Advisor to our GS Corporation. His field is in the Asian direction. You can communicate with him. How about we have an outdoor barbecue? Can you still run? My little Ferrer loves rugby. Raul's emotions were rising.

"No problem. That's my pride. Get all those guys. We went to Brooklyn Park. Lu Kaiwen was even more excited.

He was a little anxious to meet his friends, and even more excited to meet experts in the Asian field.

After a week of wandering, after a week of being intoxicated by the bustle and magic of Wall Street, young Kevin Lu can finally look away from here.

His horizons are getting broader. Young people back in the U.S. can finally look at everything here with the mature mindset of a mature economic powerhouse.
