Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 10 Black Monday ()

The first thing Lu Shaohua did when he got back to the hotel was to go to sleep. He didn't know why, but he felt exhausted ever since he came to Japan. The reason was simple: although he looked calm and composed at the securities office, he was actually worried in his heart. Although history was not so easy to change, he was still afraid of the possibility of something happening, and his heart was still tired.

When I woke up, it was already nine o'clock the next morning. As soon as I got up, my stomach started to growl. Then I remembered that I had slept since I came back from the securities office yesterday and didn't even get up to eat dinner. "Brother, brother." I called for a long time but no one answered. Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang should have gone out, so I didn't call again. I got up, washed up, and then lay on the bed waiting for Chen Guobang to come back.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Shaohua knew that it must be Chen Guobang who had returned. He sat up from the bed and looked towards the door. It was indeed Chen Guobang who had returned, but this time Chen Guobang was holding two large bags in his hands.

"Xiaohua, get up! Come here quickly and eat something." Chen Guobang shouted as he put the two bags in his hands on the table in the room.

"Oh, I'm so hungry. I thought you went there, but it turns out you went to buy something for me. Haha, thank you, brother." When Lu Shaohua heard that there was something to eat, he quickly jumped from the bed to the table. He was really hungry.

"Eat slowly. I wanted to wake you up to eat last night, but I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you. When I woke up in the morning, I saw you were still sleeping, so Mingzhang and I went out for breakfast and brought some back for you." When Chen Guobang said this, he looked at Lu Shaohua strangely, as if to say, "You are like a pig."

After filling his stomach, Lu Shaohua patted his bloated belly and sat on a chair to rest for a while. "Brother, let's go out and buy some things today."

"Yeah." Chen Guobang nodded in agreement. Now that Lu Shaohua has made so much money and finally came to Japan, there is no reason not to buy things.

"Then let's go and call Mr. Liu." Lu Shaohua said and stood up from the chair.

……

On the streets of Tokyo, although the stock market plummeted two days ago, it did not affect people's desire to buy, and the shops were full of people. With Liu Mingzhang leading the way, Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang followed closely behind, shuttling between various famous stores.

"Brother, come and take a look at this suit, what do you think of it?" Lu Shaohua stood beside the hanger and looked at the suit hanging on it.

"What? You want to buy a suit for your father." Chen Guobang walked over and looked at the suit. He found that suits were for adults, so he guessed that it was bought for Lu Jiayao.

"Yes, it's not easy to come to Japan, I can't say I don't bring them a gift." Lu Shaohua's eyes were still fixed on the suit. In his mind, even if he had earned ten years in his previous life, he probably couldn't afford this suit, but now it's different, he has money, so he wants to buy a suit for Lu Jiayao to wear, so that he can enjoy the taste of high-end clothing.

"Haha, it's so expensive. I'm afraid your dad won't want to wear it after I buy it back." Chen Guobang looked at the tag on the suit and was shocked to see that it cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's impossible for someone like Lu Jiayao, who sometimes has to work in the fields, to wear such a good suit. He only wears it during festivals.

"Hahaha, I know that if I buy him a nice set of clothes, he will only wear them during festivals, but I still decided to buy him a set so that he can have one more thing to show off." Lu Shaohua couldn't understand what Chen Guobang meant, but what he said was indeed the truth.

"Hahaha! Then buy it." Chen Guobang glanced at Lu Shaohua and also laughed.

"Well, Mr. Liu, ask the waiter to pack this dress." Lu Shaohua turned around and said to Liu Mingzhang, and then walked to the women's clothing area. He was going to buy a set for Chen Li. He had no choice, he really couldn't think of what to buy as a gift.

……

For four consecutive days, Lu Shaohua, Chen Guobang and the other two walked through the streets of Tokyo, buying whatever they liked without paying attention to how much it was worth. They just asked the waiter to pack it up. At noon on the 25th, they had been shopping for the whole morning and were hungry. Chen Guobang, the "big eater", was even hungrier. "Xiaohua, let's find a place to eat first. We are starving."

"Well, I'm hungry too, Mr. Liu. Let's find a place to fill our stomach." It would have been fine if he didn't mention eating. As soon as he mentioned eating, Lu Shaohua's stomach started to make growling sounds.

"Well, let's go over there. There is a restaurant over there." Liu Mingzhang looked around and finally found a restaurant across the street. He pointed in the direction of the restaurant.

"Okay, let's go."

……

After walking into the restaurant and choosing a seat by the window, Lu Shaohua thought for a moment before speaking. "Brother, let's go back to Hong Kong tomorrow. We've been shopping for so many days and we've bought everything we need."

"Okay." Chen Guobang responded weakly, not knowing whether he was really hungry or what.

"Well, let's go back to the hotel to rest in the afternoon. I'll ask Mr. Liu to buy the plane tickets." Seeing that Chen Guobang agreed to go back tomorrow, Lu Shaohua nodded with an indifferent expression.

Actually, Lu Shaohua had a purpose in suggesting that he go back tomorrow. Today was the 25th, and according to his past life memories, the Nikkei index would drop by 4% tomorrow. This was a great opportunity to make money, so how could Lu Shaohua let it go? However, Chen Guobang had been following him all the time. If he went to the stock exchange in person, Chen Guobang would definitely stop him. So he planned to let Liu Mingzhang go to the stock exchange to short the Nikkei under the pretext of going out to buy a plane ticket.

After finishing lunch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon when we took the bus back to the hotel room. Chen Guobang was probably tired from strolling around Tianjie for so long, so he fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room, closed his eyes and breathed, looking very comfortable.

"Oh! How could I forget about this. Brother, I will go to Mr. Liu's room and ask him to go out and buy a plane ticket." How could Lu Shaohua forget about this? It's just that he had to act completely, which would be more realistic and would not make it easy for Chen Guobang to see the flaws, so he pretended to forget and patted his head.

"Okay, you go talk to him." Chen Guobang lay on the bed, too lazy to even open his eyes. He waved his hand, motioning Lu Shaohua to go and talk.

"Oh, then I'll go and be back soon." Lu Shaohua glanced at Chen Guobang and knew that he had no doubts, and walked towards the door while speaking.

"Well, go ahead, I'll take a nap."

But at this time Lu Shaohua had already opened the door and walked out of the room.
