Shirakawa Kaede and Arai Yu, who were standing at the window, watched the crowd gradually gathering on the street, silent.

Under the gloomy sky, the slowly flowing dark brown was so dazzling.

Especially Shirakawa Kaede, at this moment, his heart was shocked inexplicably.

He had thought that when the bubble burst, many people would be unable to open it, or would be homeless.

But he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and in front of his eyes.

A vivid life is fleeting, it is not a cold text in memory.

It lay quietly at his feet, in the street below, and had even scratched before his eyes a minute earlier.

Unable to help but roll his throat a few times, Shirakawa Kaede took his eyes off the street.

"Arai-san has notified that the rooftops of all buildings under Shirakawa Holdings are all closed and temporarily closed."

Shirakawa Kaede's words fell, and suddenly there was another scream from outside the street.

Without thinking about speaking, he and Arai Yu hurriedly ran to the window.

As far as the eye could see, not far from where the crowd had gathered before, there was another figure on the ground.

It's still the same scene, black flowing, and the crowd is avoided.

Shirakawa Kaede turned his gaze to the opposite street, Toyo Securities, Sogo Vault.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that in the neighborhood where the Shirakawa Holdings Building is located, there are a large number of financial and securities companies.

"Arai-san, go now!"

"Hay!" Hiroshi Arai, whose tone fluctuated, quickly turned around and trotted all the way out of the office.

If you want to say that the stock market has plummeted, who will suffer first?

It must be a series of institutions and practitioners such as banks, securities, and financial investments, whose business is closely related to the stock market.

Now that the Nikkei Stock Average looks like this, you don't have to think about it to know that there are a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises that will suffer huge losses.

However, this is not the most terrifying, the horror is that today is only the first day of the stock market crash.

Can the financial institutions that are struggling to support them survive the bear market that has lasted for more than ten years?

Their fate Shirakawa Kaede doesn't have to think about it to know what will happen, and this is only the first day.

Even before the first day was over, there were already two people who chose to go downstairs directly from the rooftop.

These two people are most likely direct practitioners of the financial industry, and only they will face the collapse of the stock market in the first place.

Personal wealth and career are all tied to the stock market.

When the stock market suffers, it affects them, and that is a catastrophe.

On the contrary, ordinary people will not feel the impact of the decline of the stock market for the first time, after all, there are more than 100 million people, and only part of them are speculated in stocks.

But no matter what, as an insider, everything he saw today had a great impact on Shirakawa Kaede.

The cruelty of the financial market and the power of the bubble were unreservedly displayed in front of his eyes for the first time.

Shirakawa Kaede, who had been thinking about it all day, simply returned to his residence in Chiyoda Ward early.

However, not far from the street near the house, Shirakawa Kaede, who was sitting in the car, saw a black cloth tied to the pine tree in front of the house.

On the edge of the greenery, luxury cars stop from time to time, and the people who get out of the cars are all dressed in black suits and have an extraordinary bearing.

It seems that it was originally a wealthy family, as can be seen from the number of guests who came to pay their respects.

A lady in a black trench coat with a white flower in her bun.

She took her daughter and bowed to the visitors who came to mourn, and kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief.

Shirakawa Kaede, who was already bored in his heart, was even more gloomy.

The car turned around the corner and stopped in front of a magnificent courtyard, and Shirakawa Kaede, who had just gotten out of the car, didn't react, and was hit by a figure.

Subconsciously hugged the crook of his arms, and his small body twisted in his arms.

"Dosan~" A coquettish cry sounded in his ears.

You don't have to look to know that this is the voice of Xiao Yasheng.

"Bud Sheng, it's dangerous to run so fast in front of the door~"

Shirakawa Kaede, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but smile in the face of Xiao Yasheng.

Nodding to Yuko Tanaka, who heard the sound, Shirakawa Kaede walked into the courtyard with Mei Sheng in his arms.

"Tosan, I'll tell you a secret, Michiko-san in my class is about to transfer schools."

"Eh, why?"

"Because her dad is gone, her mom is going to take her to study somewhere else."

Shirakawa Kaede was stunned, "Mei Sheng, where does your Michiko-san live?" ”

"Na~, it's on the street in front."

The direction that Xiao Yasheng pointed to was the area where the family that Shirakawa Kaede had just passed by.

The smile on his face retracted, and Shirakawa Kaede put Xiao Yasheng on the ground.

"Yasheng, go and see if my brother and younger brothers have stolen candy, if you find it, you must tell your father~"

"Hay! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

The little adult-like bud nodded and bowed solemnly, and then ran back to the house with a smoke.

Children who eat too much candy will have tooth decay, and the sprouts will remember their father's teachings.

Brother Qingtian and younger brothers Bowen and Hongwen must have taken advantage of their absence to secretly hide and eat snacks.

Damn, these guys, they don't even call themselves when they do bad things.

If they dare to eat all the snacks, then they must tell their parents.

If you still have your share.

Hmm~ It's okay to have a snack once in a while, presumably Dad won't mind this little thing.

Seeing Xiao Yasheng hurriedly running towards the house, Shirakawa Kaede nodded with great satisfaction.

Hmm~ It's still a good daughter. It's like those bastard boys, who have to be cleaned up by themselves every day to be honest.

"Xiao Feng" got Yuko Tanaka, who was empty, and hurriedly took the briefcase in his hand.

However, after pulling twice, she didn't pull, and just when she was confused, Shirakawa Kaede opened his arms and hugged her into his arms.

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka lay in his arms, blinking and not knowing what was happening.

"Yuko"

"Hmm~"

Shirakawa Kaede tightened his arms and tried hard to feel her presence.

"Let's take the kids out as little as possible lately"

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka couldn't help but raise her head to look at him, "Xiao Feng, is something happening outside?" ”

Shirakawa Kaede rubbed the tip of his nose against her hair, and then smiled slightly.

"The golden age is coming to an end."

"Is it because of the stock price?"

The news of today's stock market crash has been broadcast by major TV stations in turn.

Even many newspapers rushed and issued an additional issue.

Of course Yuko Tanaka knows such a big news.

"Almost, but this is just the beginning, and neon won't be as good as it is now.

Investments fail, businesses go bankrupt, and there will be more homeless people on the streets.

So for safety reasons, even if you go out in the future, remember to bring security personnel. ”

With the development of the group and the large number of family members, Shirakawa Kaede specially hired a special security team to protect his family.

Among them, there are even many special bodyguards from abroad, and they are generally inseparable from Shirakawa Kaede.

Hearing him say this, Yuko Tanaka couldn't help but get nervous.

"Xiaofeng, it's so unsafe outside, do you want to consider working from home too."

"It's still early, just in case."

Shirakawa Kaede, who shook his head with a smile, took her hand and slowly walked towards the house.

Today's mood fluctuated until I returned home.

Alas, the tide has just risen, and it is already so heavy.

In the bubble era, the glory was also accompanied by madness and darkness.

It is not an exaggeration to say that January 12 is the darkest day on the neon stock market.

Originally, many people thought that this was a temporary adjustment, but in the following half a month, the stock market did not usher in the slightest recovery.

As a result, large and medium-sized financial institutions that could not hold on to it also began to sell off their stocks one after another.

The Nikkei Index, which has been falling again and again, continues to decline all the way and has no intention of turning back.

As for retail investors? On the first day of the stock market crash, most people ran away at all costs.

It's still the same sentence, chasing the rise and killing the fall. When someone throws it, others will follow suit.

The herd mentality is not a characteristic of a certain nation, but a common characteristic of all mankind.

Especially the neon with strong collectivism, which is equivalent to being stacked with a double buff on them.

And as for the culprit of all this, how does the Ministry of Finance view the collapse of the stock market?

The Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan said they were satisfied with the outcome.

The stock market crash shows that the bubble is slowly disappearing, and the stock market crash seems somewhat insignificant compared to the neon crash as a whole.

On the matter of puncturing the bubble, there is a consensus within the Neon government.

Almost all the experts in Congressional think tanks are inclined to puncture the bubble.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, the lesser of two evils can only suffer the shareholders.

So in less than a month, although the news frequently reported that a financial institution was in a business crisis.

But here in the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan, they are still indifferent.

They are even working on new options to accelerate the rate of defoaming.

The Ministry of Finance firmly believes that the current stock market crash is only temporary, and that it is all due to the appearance of foreign capital flight.

What they really want to do is housing prices, so in order to squeeze the bubble, in addition to monetary policy, the government is also trying to find another way to move on the land.

Of course, it may take some time for the real policy to be introduced.

What they don't know, however, is that the impact of the stock market crash on the economy, or on the neon as a whole, has only just begun.

The terminal effect causes the transmission period of negative effects to be extended.

At present, it seems that only companies directly related to the stock market, or those who work in the financial industry, will be affected.

But they are also part of, if not the most active, part of neon's economic activity.

When banks, securities companies, and financial enterprises suffer huge losses, it goes without saying that the impact of direct practitioners is not to mention.

The real estate in their name will also be listed on the real estate market by the enterprise under the pressure of bankruptcy.

In these years, even steelmakers are engaged in real estate, and the banking and financial industries will only be more involved.

When a large number of properties enter the market, then there will be an oversupply in the property market.

In this case, if the government imposes various restrictions on land prices

Tsk, the waves are getting bigger.

However, due to the impact of the stock market, another incident has attracted widespread public attention.
