In January, the cold wind is steep, and the clouds in the sky block the warm sunlight from shining on the earth.

Although there was a thin shirt prepared by his wife inside, Takeda still shivered subconsciously when the cold wind blew.

It's cold on the roof~

Standing on the top floor of the building, you can see most of the bustling port area from here.

Unlike the cold Se in the sky, although far from the ground, Takeda still saw the dense flow of traffic and people under his feet.

As a gust of wind blew, he seemed to hear the familiar honking of car horns and the chatter of the crowd.

But perhaps because he was so far away, he couldn't hear the faint sound clearly.

Takeda, who was trying to distinguish between them, couldn't help but stretch his head.

The more he looked, the more he felt that the street below was attracting him and calling him.

Takeda raised his hand and looked at the contract he had just signed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

After calculating for half a lifetime, after all, he can't escape the word "greed".

Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up.

It's too late~

Wow~

Takeda threw the contract in his hand into the sky, as if he had thrown away the greed he hated and the regret that was too late.

The snow-white pieces of paper blew in the cold wind, swirling and drifting towards the bustling city of Tokyo.

I glanced back at Chiyoda Ward again, where I had my own virtuous wife and my lovely daughter.

I hope they can have a good home in the future~

Striding forward, Takeda followed the snowflakes towards prosperity.

The faint sound always lingered in his ears, tickling his heart.

He wants to listen carefully, he wants to get closer, closer~

Heaven and earth hung upside down, and the afterglow of his eyes once again swept over the place called home.

There was a hazy glitter that flew out of the corners of the eyes, from the cheeks.

Alas, as soon as I saw the intestines broken, I would like not to look back~

…

"What's the Nikkei now?"

"It's less than 24,000 points, and it's still falling."

"How's the situation going with Shirakawa Electric?"

"With a decline of about 30%, with the collapse of the broader market, it is expected that such a downward trend will continue for some time."

Alas~ Shirakawa Kaede let out a long sigh, and no one was spared~

The moment that he had been waiting for for a long time finally came, and although he was ready, Shirakawa Kaede was still taken aback by the current situation.

This is really a full collapse of the entire stock market, and in less than half a day, the Nikkei has almost fallen by half.

Among the listed sectors of the Dongzheng Exchange, the stock prices of the companies that fell the most fell directly by about 70%.

In half a day, the market value was only 30% of the original, and such a huge cliff-like decline was really unbearable for ordinary people.

There is also NTT, which is known as a god stock, and its stock price has also fallen from a peak of more than 3 million to only about half now.

Those ordinary families who filled out the application form by lottery and finally got a plant, don't know how to face this situation?

But he can't worry about this, it's the Ministry of Finance that should have a headache.

"A society in which salarymen struggle all their lives and cannot afford to buy a house is not true. …”

The news broadcast on the TV behind him, Shirakawa Kaede was stunned when he listened.

Well, he retracted what he had just said.

The Ministry of Finance didn't take this matter seriously at all, and even wanted to have something more exciting.

Continuing to raise interest rates in March, are they really ready for the bubble to burst?

No, perhaps in the eyes of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan, the current decline in the stock market is just normal market feedback.

It won't be long before the market recovers, after all, the stock price can't keep falling.

However, it is not that simple, the economy is either overheated or too cold.

As "The Rabble" says, people's IQ in the group is greatly reduced.

As a result, the upward or downward fluctuations of the economy will inevitably have a herd effect, and the final result is by no means just right, and overcorrection may be inevitable.

Today's stock market has shown this, with the collective withdrawal of floating capital, without the support of capital, people are also fleeing.

Yes, those hot money, those overseas capital, and some large domestic consortia of Neon have all left the Neon stock market tacitly today.

In fact, such actions began a week ago, and the reason why the stock price fluctuated in the week just after the New Year was that capital was secretly cashing out and running away.

It's just that the people who are kept in the dark don't know that they still think that the stock market will rise, and the Nikkei will break through 50,000 points this year.

So when the capital was cashed out, the little cabbages didn't even think about it, so they rushed over impatiently to take over.

This kind of back and forth lasted for about a week, which created sufficient retreat time for the capital to flee.

Until this morning, after the stock price was raised for the last time, all the capital sold the last bit of stock left in their hands at one time.

A large number of pending trading orders are flooded in the market, so it is inevitable that the stock price will fall.

According to the usual rules, such trading behavior is not too abrupt.

After all, the trading volume of the neon market far exceeds that of North Mi, ranking first in the world.

Someone sells, then someone sells. As long as the market is still there, it is normal for stock prices to fluctuate.

However, this is not the case, and after the last bit of stock was sold, the trading volume of the entire neon stock market fell sharply.

There are far more pending orders to sell than to buy.

At this time, those small and medium-sized financial institutions also reacted, so they also began to throw, so the snowball that rolled down became bigger and bigger.

In the end, an avalanche formed, and the little cabbages who had no time to retreat were buried under the rubble.

And all this from brewing to happening, only half a day.

In fact, in addition to foreign capital and some large local consortia, other institutions that escaped either suffered heavy losses or died without a place to be buried.

Because the crash came so quickly, the vast majority of people couldn't react at all.

But all the scenes today were actually predestined at the end of December last year.

At that time, the Ministry of Finance had just announced an interest rate hike, and the new year's days seemed to be peaceful.

In fact, hot money, especially overseas travel funds, has long lost confidence in the market, or in the neon government.

They have already seen the neon government's determination to suppress the bubble, and no one will remain indifferent to raising interest rates three times in just half a year.

Since the limelight is not right, of course, it immediately cashed out and ran away.

They don't have any asset-heavy investments in Neon, all the interests are in the stock market.

So when you retreat, you can easily pat your ass and walk away without any scruples.

And their actions in the past few days have not been hidden from Baichuan Holdings, and even several other consortia have also been aware of it.

However, the capital can be withdrawn very quickly, but these local companies cannot.

Except for its financial clubs, which can take the opportunity to harvest a wave, other affiliated companies can only honestly bear the impact of the stock market rupture.

This is the soil for their survival, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

"Let's draw up a plan and start buying back when Shirakawa's stock price falls to a certain level.

The same is true for the stocks of other companies in the market, and some companies that are doing well can buy some if the price is right. ”

"Understood" Arai Yu was not surprised by Shirakawa Kaede's order, which was originally planned.

At the peak of the price of Shirakawa Electric Appliances, Shirakawa Feng asked his women to throw out all the loose shares that they had eaten in their hands in the past few years.

A large amount of money was cashed out in the middle, and I didn't mention it. Now that the stock market has crashed, it's time to buy back shares when the trough comes.

Although the neon stock market after that, it may experience a bear market for ten or even twenty years.

But not all stocks are falling, and those companies that are doing well and have a strong brand will eventually rise.

For example, Sony, Toyota, Nissan, Panasonic, Nikon and Shirakawa Electric themselves, after a year or two of recession, the stock price will definitely rise back.

Wouldn't it be too much of a loss not to take the opportunity to buy back a little share at this time? Maybe those consortia are also secretly poking in the market to buy the shares of Shirakawa Electric.

"That's the key for Subaru, we want to increase our shareholding to 40% within two years, and it's best to achieve absolute control within five years."

This is something that Shirakawa Kaede has planned for a long time, because the stock price was too high, and the price of controlling Subaru was too high.

But now is a good opportunity, as the Nikkei index plummets, Subaru is also falling.

Automobile heavy industry has always been Shirakawa Kaede's favorite, and it would be a waste of time not to complete absolute control at this time.

These Arai Hiroshi had already written them down one by one before, and now that Shirakawa Kaede was taking care of him again, he raised Subaru's priority again.

With Hiroshi Arai and them going through Shirakawa Holdings' plans for the next few years, Shirakawa Kaede can finally relax and watch the bubble burst.

Tsk, fortunately, I was fully prepared, and the losses have been minimized.

Of course, there is no way to do it if the stock price of Shirakawa Electric is falling, but compared to the mourning outside, this result is much better.

This year's spring, everyone's life is not easy.

Turning to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Shirakawa Kaede looked at the street scene outside and sighed.

Well? Snowing?

Suddenly, Shirakawa Kaede was attracted by the white drifting from the sky, and he looked at it and realized that it was not snow.

Instead, a large piece of white paper was sprinkled and flew in the air.

What, how did all the pieces of paper fly into the sky? It's not that windy outside.

Brush~

While Shirakawa Kaede was contemplating and taking a closer look, a black shadow quickly crossed in front of his eyes.

"Shirakawa-san!" Noticing this, Yu Arai subconsciously exclaimed.

"Bang~!"

A few seconds later, a muffled sound came from downstairs.

Although the voice was not loud, both Shirakawa Kaede and Arai Yu's bodies subconsciously shook.

The office fell silent for a moment, and Shirakawa Kaede and Arai Hiroshi looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Ah~!" A faint scream came from downstairs.

Without thinking about saying anything, Shirakawa Kaede walked quickly to the window and looked down, followed by Arai Yuya.

The streets were crowded with people, but there was only one area that was vacated by the crowd.

There, there was a black blurred figure, lying silently on the ground, motionless.

No, there are black shades flowing and gradually expanding.

Wherever it flows, the crowd retreats.

Soon the blackness that gradually spread, like an elongated shadow, dragged on the ground for a long, long time.
