May 9th

In the securities trading room of Standard Chartered Bank, after several days of operations, more than a dozen traders flowed all US$6 billion into the stock market one day in advance.

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 voting.

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

This is the last election that will determine the outcome, whether the sitting president will continue to stay in the Elysée Palace, or whether Mitterrand, a strong competitor, will successfully move into the Elysée Palace.

On the eve of the suspense being revealed, everyone began to become nervous.

This is not a simple election. Once Mitterrand is elected president, he will bring great changes to France based on his political philosophy.

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

After the hour hand jumped to three o'clock and the exchange stopped trading, Yang Chen raised a smile on his lips.

Before this, Yang Chen had always been afraid that a group of financial giants would cause a storm in the Paris stock market in advance, causing the stock market to fluctuate significantly.

Now, this worry is completely unnecessary.

Tomorrow is the day when the French presidential election will be announced, and everything is a foregone conclusion. Unless history changes, Mitterrand's success in the election is a certainty.

And once any old man succeeds in the election and becomes president, it is inevitable that the Paris stock market will fall tomorrow.

This time, he will earn more money in a shorter time than before in Kuwait.

The last trip to Kuwait still had certain risks. This time Yang Chen really won on his own.

After the transaction ended, the traders did not leave the trading room, but continued to stare at the trends of the stock market.

From today to tomorrow, they will not leave the Standard Chartered Bank Building. Likewise, Yang Chen will stay here 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 early.

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

Once they leave this building, Yang Chen won't care too much, but they obviously can't make a dime for their hard work these days.

Once Yang Chen makes money from a multi-billion dollar transaction, he will inevitably 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 Laura. From the beginning to the end, she followed Yang Chen silently. When Yang Chen wanted to talk, she would chat with Yang Chen for a while. When Yang Chen didn’t want to talk anymore, she would just sit quietly beside him.

Stay and don't disturb.

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

Everyone else, except Jun Zi and other bodyguards, all the traders were sleeping on chairs and resting.

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

In a government office, an old man in his sixties was sitting on a chair, smoking silently.

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

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

Mitterrand 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.

In high school, Mitterrand had excellent grades and was particularly fond of literature and history. In 1934, Mitterrand went to Paris to study literature. After receiving a bachelor's degree in literature, he studied public law at the Ecole Politique in Paris, during which he served as a lawyer.

However, after the unexpected outbreak of World War II, Mitterrand immediately enlisted in the army.

After the end of World War II, Mitterrand entered politics and ran for president as an opposition party in 1965, but was defeated by de Gaulle.

He ran for president again in 1974, but was defeated by the current incumbent President d'Estaing. His failure in the first two elections made him pay special attention to this election.

At this time in the past, he should have written a speech for himself if he was successful in the election. He did this the previous two times.

However, this time he didn't. He didn't plan 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 president for a long time, and has recalled speeches and other things in his mind countless times.

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

Finally, I leave only one sentence and let history judge me.

Some people in later generations believed that his administrative achievements outweighed his faults because he successfully solved domestic problems during his tenure as president.

And in the turmoil of the international situation such as the reunification of Germany and the disintegration of the polar bear, France was protected from all impacts. He is a president worthy of praise.

But at the same time, he is extremely obsessed with power. After failing to run for president twice, he still did 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. There are many women around him, which makes the gossip media and the public talk about it.

…

Early the next morning

In the Standard Chartered trading room, everyone woke up and after washing up, they regained their composure.

As a member of the financial industry, this kind of late-night work is not the first time that everyone has encountered it, and it is not a big deal.

When Wu Yaoxin came back from outside with people and breakfast, the quiet trading room suddenly boiled.

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

In the past few days, after eating Chinese breakfast without any heavy items for several days in a row, they found that they were about to die.

Why?

Because they found that their stomachs were invaded by various Chinese breakfasts.

In the past, they only needed a glass of milk and bread every morning.

But after eating sumptuous and non-heavy breakfasts for several days in a row, they said they would have to get up half an hour early and go to Chinatown to buy breakfast to satisfy their taste buds.

Xiaolongbao is Yang Chen's favorite. Every day he comes to two or three steamed buns to make toothpaste.

That's right, it was a tooth beating ceremony. Everyone expressed their admiration for Yang Chen's appetite.

From the beginning, everyone was shocked, but in the end, everyone gradually became numb. Several French traders said that they really couldn't eat as much as several people by themselves.

It is hard for everyone to imagine that such a big eater could be an outstanding pianist and singer who dominates the major music charts in France.

Yang Chen's image in everyone's minds has been completely overturned.
