Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 315 The Eve of Dawn

  May 9th

   In the securities trading room of Standard Chartered Bank, after a few days of operations, a dozen or so traders moved all of their $6 billion into the stock market one day ahead of schedule.

   As early as two days ago, on May 7, the second round of the French general election officially kicked off.

   A group of French people who have the right to vote have already begun to vote.

   Among them, Laura also voted for Mitterrand as she said before.

   This is the final election that decides the outcome, whether the incumbent president will stay in the Elysee Palace, or Mitterrand, a strong contender, will successfully stay in the Elysee Palace.

   On the eve of this suspense is about to be revealed, everyone began to get nervous.

   This is not a simple election. Once Mitterrand is elected president, he will bring great changes to France based on the other party's political ideas.

   At a time when everyone was full of tension, Yang Chen, who had always been anxious, relaxed at this time.

   The hour hand jumped to three o'clock, and after the exchange stopped trading, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth.

   Before that, Yang Chen had always been afraid of a group of financial predators, who caused a storm in the Paris stock market in advance, causing the stock market to fluctuate greatly.

   Now, this worry is completely unnecessary.

  Tomorrow is the day when the French presidential election is announced, and everything is a foregone conclusion. Unless history changes, Mitterrand's election success is a sure thing.

   And once the old man wins the election. Become president, and the Paris stock market will fall tomorrow is also an inevitable event.

   This time, he will make more money in less time than before in Kuwait.

  The last trip to Kuwait still had certain risks. This time Yang Chen really won by lying down.

  After the transaction, the traders did not leave the trading room, but continued to watch the trend of the stock market.

   From today until tomorrow, they will not leave the Standard Chartered Bank Building. Similarly, Yang Chen will stay here forever, and will not go back to the hotel to rest.

  On the last day, who knows what accidents will happen when we leave here.

   Therefore, Yang Chen asked Wu Yaoxin to buy a lot of things for everyone.

   There is a TV in the trading room, so everyone won't be too bored, and Yang Chen is not restricting everyone's freedom of movement, as long as they don't leave the building of Standard Chartered Bank, everyone can go to rest anywhere.

   Once they leave this building, Yang Chen won't take care of them too much, but they obviously won't be able to earn a dime for their hard work these days.

   In a multi-billion dollar transaction, once Yang Chen made a profit, he would have to give each of them a big red envelope.

   As long as everyone is not stupid, they will not violate Yang Chen's rules.

At the same time, there was also Laura. From the beginning to the end, she was silently following Yang Chen. When Yang Chen wanted to talk, she would chat with Yang Chen for a while. Yang Chen didn't want to talk, so she just sat there quietly. Wait and don't disturb.

   Time passed, and as night fell, Yang Chen fell asleep on the sofa in the trading room.

  Others, except Junzi and other bodyguards, all the operators will fall asleep on the chairs to rest.

  The night in Paris is beautiful, but some people can't sleep.

  In a government office, an old man in his 60s sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette in silence.

   For the first time, for the first time, he felt that he was so close to the position of the president.

The   Elysee Palace, the place he had always hoped to one day live in, seemed to be waving at him.

  Mitterand was born in a petty bourgeois family when he was a child. His father was a railway engineer and his grandfather was a railway stationmaster.

   During middle school, Mitterrand had excellent grades and especially liked literature and history. In 1934, Mitterrand went to Paris to study literature. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in literature, he studied public law at the Paris Institute of Political Science, during which he worked as a lawyer.

   However, with the unexpected outbreak of World War II, Mitterrand joined the army immediately.

  After the end of World War II, Mitterrand entered the political career and participated in the presidential election as an opposition party in 1965, but was defeated by de Gaulle.

   ran for president again in 1974, and was defeated by the current incumbent President De Stein. He failed in the first two elections, which made him pay special attention to this election.

   In the past, he should have written a speech for himself if he succeeded in the election, as he did the first two times.

   However, this time he didn't, he wasn't going to write a speech, and he didn't need to write a speech, because it was all in his head and no preparation was needed at all.

   He has been looking forward to the position of the President for a long time, and the speech has been recalled countless times in his mind.

  Mitterand has always been a controversial person. Whether it is his political career or his private life, Mitterrand himself cannot comment on himself.

  Finally, just leave one sentence and let history judge me.

  In later generations, some people think that his power in power is greater than his fault, because during his tenure as president, he successfully solved domestic problems.

   And in the turmoil of the international situation such as the reunification of Germany and the disintegration of polar bears, he has spared France from all aspects of the shock. He is a president worthy of praise.

   But at the same time, he is extremely obsessed with rights. After failing to run for president twice, he still does not give up running for president. From this, it is not difficult to see his desire for power.

   What makes him most criticized is his private life. The women around him continue to make gossip media and the public talk about it.

  …

   The next morning

  Standard Chartered trading room, everyone who woke up after a while, recovered their state after washing.

  As a member of the financial industry, this kind of work of staying up late is not the first time you have encountered, and it is not a big deal.

   When Wu Yaoxin brought people and came back from outside early, the quiet trading room instantly boiled.

   Several French traders got up from their chairs one by one when they saw the breakfast that Wu Yaoxin and others bought.

   In the past few days, after eating Chinese breakfast with no heavy samples for several days in a row, they found that they were about to die.

Why?

  Because they found their stomachs, they were captured by various Chinese dishes early.

   They used to settle every morning with just a glass of milk and bread.

   But after eating a sumptuous and unremarkable breakfast for several days in a row, they said that they would have to get up half an hour earlier and go to Chinatown to buy breakfast to satisfy their taste buds.

  Xiaolongbao is Yang Chen's favorite. Every day, he will come to two or three baskets to fight his teeth.

   That's right, it's a tooth-fighting sacrifice, everyone expressed their admiration for Yang Chen's appetite.

   From the beginning, everyone was stunned, and at the end everyone gradually became numb. Several French traders said that they really couldn’t eat enough for one person.

   It is hard for everyone to imagine that such a big eater is actually an excellent pianist and singer who dominates the major French music charts today.

   Yang Chen's image was completely subverted in everyone's mind.
