Chapter 949 I am the White Moonlight (XII)
"Stock Market Crash?"
"Ms. Gu, do you predict that in a few months, the Ugly Country will face a hellish stock market disaster?"
It was still Ms. Gu’s living room, and this time the gathering was filled with elites from the financial field.
In addition to some domestic international students and visiting scholars, there are also famous financial economists and stock tycoons from Wall Street in the United States.
They gathered together and spoke freely.
As the host, Gu Qingcheng always speaks in a shocking and earth-shattering way.
Stock market crash?
How is that possible?
In today's ugly country, everyone is speculating in stocks.
Newspapers and radio are filled with stories about a certain housewife who took the money for grocery shopping, casually went around the stock exchange, and made a fortune by randomly picking a stock.
The madness of the stock market reached a new height after Christmas.
From financial elites, bosses, farmers to salesmen, manual laborers and even housewives, all jumped into the boiling stock market.
Various experts and bigwigs are also optimistic about the prospects of the stock market.
Claiming that stock prices have reached unprecedented highs and will continue to grow.
Countless people were mesmerized by this madness and joined in the carnival.
However, Gu Qingcheng poured a bucket of cold water on the whole process at the salon held in her own living room.
"Yes! I do think so!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Gu Qingcheng nodded firmly.
"That's impossible! Professor Fisher said this is the best time for stocks."
And this professor is a famous economist from a famous university.
His influence is huge.
His words are also very credible.
Gu Qingcheng did not rush to argue, but took out a lot of information from Huoshui's investigation.
for example--
“Two years ago, the housing market collapsed in Florida.”
The bursting of the real estate bubble is a precursor to an economic crisis.
"Everyone, do you still remember those scary numbers? In M City, which has a population of only 75,000, there are more than 2,000 real estate companies and 25,000 real estate agents..."
Gu Qingcheng likes to be a data person the most.
Data is not a question of openness; it is the most direct and simple.
There is no need to argue, the numbers can explain everything.
"Florida's real estate bubble burst, countless people lost their jobs, and many middle-class people shot themselves or jumped off buildings."
“Wall Street today is just another Florida!”
It is crazier and more terrifying, and the consequences are more deadly.
Gu Qingcheng spoke with such conviction that everyone felt a chill down their spine.
They wanted to refute Gu Qingcheng, thinking that she was exaggerating.
However, the Florida example is real.
After a long while, someone broke the silence, "Florida is just an isolated case!"
Besides, there is more than one Florida state in the Ugly Country.
"Yeah! What does the collapse of the Florida real estate market have to do with Wall Street?"
The person who said this felt that he was making some quibbling remarks after he had said it.
How could there be no connection? They were all elites in the financial field, and they all knew something about economics.
In fact, some of the people present here have realized the problem.
However, the overall environment is crazy, and the very few sober people have become the odd ones out.
Take this small living room salon for example, among the dozen or so people attending, only two or three were sober.
They also agreed with Gu Qingcheng's prediction.
However, they did not have Gu Qingcheng's courage and could not fight the entire wave alone.
Gu Qingcheng did not answer that person. After she finished listing the data, she became relaxed.
Without the rigor of the data party, people started gossiping casually.
She chuckled. "Okay, let's put aside the data and cases, let's just tell a funny story-"
As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng pulled out a newspaper from the coffee table beside him.
Pointing to a piece of news above, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, see, now even shoe shiners can make money in the stock market!"
Isn't this stock market scary? There is a very heartbreaking reality, that is, since ancient times, no matter where you are, most of the resources of society are actually in the hands of a few people.
And when the leeks are harvested when they should be there, it means that the development of this industry has reached its peak.
The next second, it will collapse into pieces with a "bang"!
Everyone: ...It's so heartbreaking, but it makes damn sense.
However, people still cannot believe it easily.
Or, they are unwilling to accept this fact.
Because once a stock market crash occurs, the entire country's economy will collapse.
These elites may become beggars or even end up on the rooftops.
"Ms. Gu, I don't think so. I think it's just the opposite: if a shoe shiner can make money, it shows that there is a lot of potential in the stock market!"
"Yes, yes! How could such a prosperous stock market collapse?"
The majority of people who held opposing views expressed their rebuttal.
Some people even thought of Gu Qingcheng's identity - a senior student in the Department of Finance! She was about to graduate! A poor graduate who needed to write a thesis!
"Ms. Gu, you are about to graduate. I wonder what topic you chose for your graduation thesis?"
It can't be said that the man was looking for trouble on purpose, but he did have bad intentions:
"I have a suggestion!"
"Ms. Gu, if you insist on your idea, you can use it as your graduation thesis."
"I see that you seem to have done a lot of research and have sufficient evidence."
The man deliberately pointed to the pile of information that Gu Qingcheng had thrown aside.
Well, if you like being a data person, then just be more rigorous and professional.
Just write a paper.
What's the point of showing off in such a small salon? It's really brave to write your own arguments into a paper, publish it to the public, and accept the test, questioning, and refutation of scholars all over the country.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Oh no, are you looking for trouble or helping?
So, sometimes a bad opponent can also be a great teammate.
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Jones."
Gu Qingcheng shrugged and said "happily": "I have finished writing the relevant paper and submitted it to several media outlets such as the Financial News."
At this point, Gu Qingcheng blinked deliberately, "There is definitely no problem with my paper. I'm just afraid that the editor who reviews it will not accept my argument and choose to reject it!"
The method of provoking someone is useful at any time.
Gu Qingcheng is now just an international student from abroad, and a rookie who transferred to the Finance Department a few months ago.
Although he had made a name for himself on Wall Street, he also secretly ran many businesses.
However, in the fields of economics and finance, she is still just a "primary school student".
Compared with those famous scholars and professors, it is nothing.
Without the "opportunity", her paper would not have been published successfully.
Gu Qingcheng deliberately promoted her own arguments in salons and other occasions in order to create opportunities.
There may not be any great people here, but there are some great students or friends.
The more confident (arrogant?) Gu Qingcheng appears, the greater the exposure her article will receive.
Sure enough, on the third day after the Living Room Salon ended, Gu Qingcheng’s paper was published in major newspapers, financial magazines and other media in the country.
Gu Qingcheng's tutor at school also called her.
"Ms. Gu, your paper—"
The professor was a little embarrassed.
He hesitated to speak.
It is really difficult for an ugly Chinese who always likes to speak directly to make him say something with hidden meaning.
"Professor, I am just expressing my point of view. If you have any objections, we can have a debate!"
As for a thesis, it is not necessary for it to have a final conclusion.
Even if the final conclusion is reached now, it may be overturned in the future.
The key to a paper is the word "paper".
Gu Qingcheng can put forward a point of view and use the evidence he finds to prove his point of view.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If someone thinks something is wrong, then they can provide evidence to support their point of view and refute Gu Qingcheng.
Not to mention, Gu Qingcheng accurately "predicted" the time of the stock market crash in her paper - October this year.
Although it didn't specify a specific day, it was already strange that it could be accurate to a specific month.
This also gives a deadline for verifying the paper——
Whether it is true or not, the truth will be revealed in October.
professor:……
This is not the point! The point is that as a student of the Department of Finance at the university, Gu Qingcheng's paper is somewhat of a curse.
Throw cold water! Go against the big wave!
She herself is an unknown person, and it is the school that is really pushed to the forefront.
Scholars from rival universities have already made sarcastic comments in the newspapers.
He also said that XX University is worthy of being ranked among the top ten universities, and the students taught there are indeed excellent!
Excellent!
This Miss Gu is simply using the reputation of the school to build her own fame.
She became famous across the country, but in the end, it was the school that was ridiculed and held accountable.
Thinking of the turmoil that had already occurred and the wave that was about to come, the professor frowned and "reminded" her in a cold voice: "Ms. Gu, if possible, I suggest that you rewrite the paper and issue a statement."
He said that everything was his own behavior and that his previous arguments were just for sensationalism.
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, "What if I don't accept your suggestion?"
The professor said bluntly, "Then I may not pass your paper, and you will not get your degree certificate!"
Can't graduate!
Is this consequence serious?
Faced with such a blatant threat, Gu Qingcheng smiled, "Professor, I changed the topic of my thesis, or I didn't have this thesis in the first place. Will you approve my graduation application?"
Don't talk nonsense, just tell the truth -
Even if "Gu Wanqing" was excellent in every way and did not cause any trouble to the school, would the school allow a foreign woman to graduate successfully? If so, why would Gu Qingcheng have to "bitterly" transfer to another department?
The professor was stumped.
Looking at Gu Qingcheng's young and beautiful face, he suddenly thought of a fact -
This is a beautiful woman.
This world is unfair to women.
It was the mother of radium who made such a great contribution. People referred to her as Madame XX instead of her real name Mary.
Gu Wanqing is not only a woman, but also a foreigner from the backward East.
The BUFF is full! The chance of successfully getting a diploma will be very low! The professor himself did not consider Ms. Gu's degree certificate and other issues.
Seeing the professor speechless, Gu Qingcheng curled her lips again, "So, is there a difference?"
Therefore, she didn't care about the threats from the school at all.
"Is this why you deliberately—" wrote such a shocking paper?
To get revenge on the school?
Gu Qingcheng's smile became brighter. "No! I really think there will be a hellish stock market disaster in October."
"It will cause the Ugly Country's economy to stagnate, or even set it back ten years!"
It's even more alarmist! It's simply the most vicious curse.
"Witch! This must be the terrible witch from the East!"
The professor cursed inwardly.
After the "negotiation" with Gu Qingcheng failed, the school unilaterally ordered Gu Qingcheng to drop out.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
casual!
The more arrogant and arbitrary you act now, the more severely you will be slapped in the face in half a year.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the professor's majestic face and could vaguely hear the sound of clapping.
…
"Wanqing, I've already graduated, and you too...why don't we go back home first?"
Wei Jingxi couldn't bear to see his fiancée being wronged.
I don’t want to leave her in such a “sad” place like Ugly Country.
Being ordered to drop out of school means being expelled.
This is the greatest humiliation for a talented woman like Gu Wanqing who is both beautiful and talented.
"No! I'm still waiting for the school and some media to apologize to me."
"Eastern Witch? Jingxi, tell me, how do I look like a witch?"
"Is it the pointy nose or the black fingernails?"
As Gu Qingcheng was talking, the topic became a little off topic.
She didn't seem to care about being fired, but instead cared more about the nickname the media gave her.
Witch?
Is there a witch as beautiful and fairy-like as her in this world? She is obviously a fairy!
Wei Jingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't expect that his fiancée's main concern was actually -
Well, well, looks are certainly not just skin deep.
She is so beautiful, but she is still called a witch. It is really too much.
"Okay! Then we will stay in Ugly Country for a while."
"That's great. I also want to do a few more experiments."
As a man who deeply loves his fiancée, Wei Jingxi would never refuse Gu Qingcheng's request.
Besides, he really wanted to do more experiments.
Although Ms. Gu is rich and well-connected, she can get a lot of equipment and materials that are in short supply in the country.
But in the country, it is not as convenient as in the ugly country.
There was only about half a year left, so Wei Jingxi was not in a hurry! The unmarried couple took their time, and the rumors about the Oriental Witch in the media began to slowly cool down.
After all, the Eastern Witch is singing the praises of the country, and what the Ugly Country needs is stimulants!
This doesn't fit with the big wave.
It wasn’t until October that some people suddenly remembered the prediction made six months ago and began to worry.
It’s October now. Will the stock market really collapse? Time will soon give the answer.
On Tuesday, October 29, black fell.
The market makers were selling frantically, the investors were crying without tears, and the stock market was in a bloody storm.
Gu Qingcheng, Lin Mujun and others rushed to grab a huge amount of wealth before the deadline...
