Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Lost 60 Million US Dollars_1

These days, Wang Ye had been a bit restless, preparing himself for a coming event potent enough to shake the whole world...

As someone who had gone through a rebirth, he was possibly the only one who knew what kind of earth-shattering event was going to happen in a few days!

Well, it can’t be said that he was the only one. After all, those who were "carrying out" this event knew what was going to happen...

But perhaps only Wang Ye, at this point in time, could clearly realize the significant impact this event would have on the world’s geopolitical structure after it happened!

On the evening of September 10, Wang Ye tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Angelina beside him noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "Misha, what’s wrong? Did you drink too much coffee in the evening that you can’t sleep?"

The room was pitch black, with no lights on.

Wang Ye silently shook his head. After a while, he asked, "If a powerful country, for its own interests, invades a weaker country, causing continuous war and miserable life for the people there. And the invaded weaker country, in retaliation, took actions hurting the common people of the powerful country. Who should be blamed in this case?"

Angelina seemed to be taken by surprise by Wang Ye’s sudden question. She hesitated a little before replying, "It should be... the powerful country that’s to blame."

"But the decision to invade other countries is made by politicians. Ordinary people are innocent, they’ve also become victims." Wang Ye said slowly.

This stumped Angelina. After some thought, she sighed and responded, "Yeah, it’s always the ordinary people who suffer. Look at what happened in Russia, the people’s lives have only become tougher with all the turmoil."

Wang Ye didn’t say anything more. He couldn’t exactly tell Angelina what was to happen next.

He just silently chuckled and whispered, "Go to sleep, tomorrow... will be different."

Angelina didn’t quite understand what Wang Ye meant. She thought he was just being sentimental. She closed her eyes peacefully, snuggled into Wang Ye’s arm, and drifted off to sleep...

...

On the morning of September 11, Wang Ye woke up and turned on the TV, eager to see any developments. He was somewhat surprised because everything seemed normal and there was nothing unusual.

This meant that it hadn’t happened yet...

Upon thinking he slapped his forehead in realization. He had forgotten that there was a time difference between Russia and the United States!

The time in Russia is eight hours ahead of the United States.

This meant that at this point, it was still early morning in the United States!

Moreover, Wang Ye forgot whether the incident happened in the morning or afternoon. If it was in the afternoon in the United States, according to Russian time, it would be midnight on the 12th.

No wonder there was no news on TV yet.

...

Wang Ye was on edge the whole day.

He knew that a world-changing event was about to happen, but it hadn’t happened yet, and he didn’t know the exact time.

The feeling was...unpleasant...

In the end, when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, there was still no news.

Wang Ye specifically called Milna. Milna had been shorting the US stock market index for the past few days, so he was most sensitive to any news from there.

He had specially set up a small team to monitor the market trends and gather information about the United States 24/7!

Of course, this was also per Wang Ye’s request.

"Milna, how’s the market doing these last few days? Any negative news?" Wang Ye asked over the phone.

What he wanted to know most, of course, was whether there was any "negative news"...

"No, boss. The market has been steadily rising. In the past few days, we are down almost 60 million US dollars. Are you really confident a major setback will happen?"

It was clear that Milna had no confidence at all!

They had invested a total of 500 million US dollars, using a bit of leverage. As a result, they had lost up to 60 million US dollars in just a few days!

It scared Milna...

Moreover, he couldn’t see the trend of the market falling in the near term. With all the news favoring a bullish trend, Milna was worried that the 500 million would all be lost in less than a month!

Even though it wasn’t his money, he was the one who lost it all, and it made him uncomfortable.

Milna was speechless towards his boss. He guessed that Mikhail had never been involved in the securities market before. Suddenly, on a whim, he put in 500 million US dollars to short US stocks...

In his professional opinion, this was more than just a risk. It was simply throwing money away!

Wang Ye was a bit disappointed after listening.

He was not disappointed about losing 60 million US dollars, but rather didn’t hear news about that event he remembered...

"It’s okay, it’s been almost ten days, and we’ve only lost 60 million US dollars. After all, we have a capital of 500 million US dollars, it won’t run out, and we don’t even need to replenish the funds. You guys keep on watching. If any major event happens, let me know immediately, no matter what time it is," Wang Ye instructed.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye looked a bit dazed.

He began to doubt his own "memories." Supposedly at this point, it should be morning in the United States.

Why hasn’t it happened yet!

Could it be possible that due to his "rebirth", changes had occurred in this world?

It’s not an impossible...

Although Wang Ye had confirmed from the past half-year that he had indeed "reborn," and the things in his memories had indeed occurred, it was undeniable that many things in this lifetime had greatly diverged from his previous life.

This was especially in regard to matters relating to himself and those around him...

The current issue is whether that major event that happened in the United States in his memory would be affected by his rebirth!

If it’s truly affected and no longer happens, Wang Ye would have to seriously rethink his future plans, as many things would need to be adjusted.

...

When it was about nine o’clock in the evening, Wang Ye had already prepared to go to bed, but the phone still hadn’t rung.

He wasn’t hopeful anymore, reckoning that even if it occurred, it would be in the afternoon of the United States, which would be late at night in Russia.

He would see how things stand when he woke up the next morning.

Perhaps when he woke up, headlines about it would cover all major news media around the world.

However, just as he was about to doze off, his phone suddenly rang...
