Hong Kong film: My brother, Big D, I really don't know kung fu.

The Nikkei index opened 9.9 points lower at 26356.82 and then continued to fall sharply without looking back.

This caused financial elites like Luo Minsheng, Huang Shitong, Sima Xiang, and Robinson to hold their breath, their eyes glued to the screen, afraid of missing any details.

A lower opening is not unusual, but the fact that the Nikkei index showed no signs of rising after opening and instead went straight down is quite unusual, foreshadowing a major drop.

As time went on, the Nikkei index continued to decline, and the widening drop made Huang Shitong and Sima Xiang gasp in shock. They knew that Lei Hao's prediction was coming true.

Although Big D didn't understand these financial operations, he was too embarrassed to ask loudly with big shots like Huang Shitong around.

He quietly pulled Lei Hao aside and whispered, "Hao, what's going on? The screen is all colorful and messy. Are you going to lose all the money you made before?"

Lei Hao smiled and explained to Big D, "The Nikkei index is still falling, and my short positions have made tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in just a short time!"

"Hiss~" Big D gasped, shocked by the number.

How long has it been? My younger brother has already earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars! The speed at which he makes money is like a money printing machine.

Big D couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, it seems like trading futures is more profitable than robbing a bank!"

When the other big names in the financial world heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile wryly.

They knew that Big D was just saying it casually, but they were also aware of the risks involved.

As an elder, Huang Shitong helplessly explained, "Big D, don't get the wrong idea. Ah Hao is able to make money now because he predicted the market trend a month ago. This requires extremely high professional knowledge and judgment!"

As he spoke, Huang Shitong's expression turned serious, and he warned Big D, "If an ordinary person wants to make money by trading futures, they need to have some real skills, or they'll lose everything!"

Huang Shitong spoke up to remind Da D because the two belonged to the same camp, and Da D was Lei Hao's older brother.

He didn't want to see Big D, envious of the profits in the futures market, rashly invest his money and lose it all.

It's a small matter if Big D loses money, but we mustn't let Lei Hao get involved and ruin the interests of everyone.

Big D chuckled sheepishly, indicating his understanding: "Uncle Tong, you're right. I was just expressing my feelings. As for making money, Ah Hao can handle it. I won't meddle in it."

He was sincere and said he would heed the advice.

Huang Shitong nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Big D's submissive attitude.

After that, he ignored Big D and turned to look at the Nikkei index trend on the big screen.

Chapter 54: Better to seize the day than wait any longer; the pit dug for the sand bugs has become even deeper.

"Brother, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

While everyone's attention was focused on the Nikkei index, Lei Hao put his arm around Big D's shoulder and quietly led him outside the VIP room.

Big D didn't think much of it. He knew that Lei Hao must have something he didn't want others to know, which was why he planned to go outside with him alone to discuss it.

The two walked to the end of the corridor. Lei Hao glanced around to make sure no one was there before lowering his guard.

Big D asked curiously, "Ah Hao, this is HSBC's VIP area. What are you worried about? Is someone eavesdropping on our conversation here?"

Lei Hao smiled and said mysteriously, "Have you forgotten the bet I made with Sima Xiang earlier?"

"You just bet him you'd treat him to dinner tomorrow night?" Big D scratched his head, not understanding Lei Hao's meaning for a moment. He thought it was just an ordinary dinner party.

Lei Hao sighed deeply and reminded him helplessly, "Have you forgotten that you have an appointment tomorrow?"

After Lei Hao's reminder, Da D suddenly remembered that he did indeed have an appointment to meet Sandman from Tung Sing the next night.

His eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed, "Holy crap! Yeah, I made plans to have dinner with that jinx Sandman at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow night, but I'm going to miss it!"

He slapped his forehead in frustration, realizing his oversight.

Lei Hao helplessly covered his forehead, secretly sighing to himself that when his parents were left with only the two of them, they had given him a bit more of their brains.

Otherwise, not to mention Lei Hao now, he was also a top student from Stanford University.

But Big D's intelligence was so different from his own, they were like two completely different people.

Big D looked at Lei Hao, who seemed exhausted, somewhat bewildered. Had he said something wrong?

"Ah Hao, did I say something wrong just now?"

"Should I cancel my meeting with Sandman tomorrow night?"

Big D couldn't figure out Lei Hao's true intentions at all, so he could only ask his younger brother.

Lei Hao couldn't bear to say more about his older brother, who treated him with genuine sincerity. He knew that although Big D was sometimes slow-witted, he was truly devoted to him.

"You'll also attend the dinner at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow night, and change the meeting place with Sandman to the Peninsula Hotel as well..." Lei Hao began to elaborate on the plan.

"No way!" Big D hurriedly interrupted Lei Hao, saying decisively, "Inviting that lowlife Sha Meng to meet at the Peninsula Hotel will probably ruin Uncle Tong and the others' mood! That will damage our image!"

He worried that such an arrangement would anger Huang Shitong and others.

Lei Hao put his hands on Big D's shoulders and said seriously, "Big brother, you have to listen to me this time, otherwise I won't have made the bet with Sima Xiang to have dinner at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow night."

"You did this on purpose?" Big D was a little confused. He didn't understand why Lei Hao would go to such lengths to devise such a scheme.

Lei Hao explained, "That's right, I did it on purpose. Tomorrow night I'll also invite my uncle-in-law over, and we'll give that Sha Meng guy a big beating, so he'll really fall apart."

Lei Hao continued to elaborate on the plan: "Brother, contact Sha Meng and tell him to change the meeting place to the Peninsula Hotel, and then book a table for him near our private room as well."

"When the time comes, let Dongguanzi and Changmao take some men to deal with him. We can just eat and drink with our uncles and aunts and don't need to pay any attention to them."

"If we leave them out in the cold for long, the sand bug will definitely get restless and come next door to cause trouble for us. Then we'll deliberately provoke him into saying something that will backfire and expose him on his own."

Big D isn't really stupid; he just can't handle overly complex or sophisticated situations.

Now that Lei Hao has explained it so clearly, how could he not understand how to deal with the sand bugs?

With their uncle-in-law, Li Shutang, the Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, around, if Sha Meng said anything he shouldn't have, he would have been pinned to death in the police station on the spot!

What a brilliant move to use someone else to do the dirty work!

Moreover, Li Shutang and Huang Shitong are both on their own side, and they will definitely not be polite to Sha Meng who comes to cause trouble. On the contrary, they will take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Even if the people from Tung Sing found out afterward, they could only swallow their anger in the face of Li Shutang and Huang Shitong's powerful background and influence.

The thought of solving such a huge problem without bloodshed made Big D laugh out loud; he thought the plan was perfect.

Lei Hao rolled his eyes at him, knowing he understood, and then turned and walked towards the VIP room.

Seeing this, Big D eagerly followed after them.

He was still pondering Lei Hao's plan, and at the same time, he wanted to see if Lei Hao's index plan had made more money while they were away.

Futures market volatility and wealth accumulation

The two entered the VIP room one after the other and heard Huang Shitong's excited voice inside: "Ah Hao, you fell again!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed joy.

"How much has it fallen?" Lei Hao asked with a smile, appearing completely at ease.

"The market has fallen by more than 150 points since the opening, which means you've almost made HK$2 million!" Huang Shitong was beaming with joy, even happier than if he had made the money himself. He was completely impressed by Lei Hao's money-making ability.

Big D's eyes widened instantly; he simply couldn't believe his ears.

They had only been gone a short time, and Lei Hao had already earned over 1 million Hong Kong dollars! The speed at which he made money was like a money printing machine.

Long Hair, Dongguan Boy, and Master Su in the VIP room all looked at Lei Hao with deep admiration.

Before the day was even over, Lei Hao had already earned nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

If the Nikkei index continues to fall, the money earned is unimaginable, an astronomical figure.

Lei Hao smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down: "Don't rush, today is just the entry, tomorrow is the most crucial day!"

He was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing that Lei Hao had made so much money yet remained so calm, Huang Shitong and the others couldn't help but look at him with higher regard, feeling even more that Lei Hao had a bright future and would surely become a legendary figure in the financial world in the future.

Luo Minsheng, who had been silently managing the operations, was now overwhelmed with excitement.

Although he stared at the large electronic screen with a blank expression, his slightly trembling hands betrayed the excitement and exhilaration deep within him.

Based on today's Nikkei index trend, the drop will certainly be significant.

If tomorrow really goes as Lei Hao said, then there will definitely be a crash! This made Luo Minsheng start to look forward to it, as if he could already see huge wealth beckoning to them.

Time flies when you're watching the market, and before you know it, it's time for the afternoon closing.

The Nikkei futures index has slightly retreated from its low of 25636.98 points to 25746.56 points.

Although there was a rebound at the end of the trading day, with the gains returning to around 110 points, the overall decline for the day was still 620.18 points lower than yesterday.

Each point in the Nikkei index futures is equivalent to 500 yen. The drop of 620.18 points means that each short position earned an additional 31 yen.

Lei Hao's 4 short positions earned him a total of 124.036 billion yen today, equivalent to 7.75225 million Hong Kong dollars.

Adding to the HK$2.91 million already accumulated, Lei Hao's current profit from shorting Nikkei index futures has exceeded a staggering HK$10 billion.

After Luo Minsheng told everyone the results of his statistics, everyone in the VIP room leaned back and gasped, speechless with shock at the enormous numbers.

"Ah, Ah Hao, I, I didn't hear wrong, did I? We made more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars today?!" Big D said, his voice trembling with excitement.

Lei Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be too happy yet. If you see how much money I made tomorrow, won't you have a heart attack from excitement?"

Big D slapped Lei Hao's hand away and said irritably, "Can't you think about your older brother for once? You always scare me like this!"

Sima Xiang and the others around them watched the two brothers bickering and laughed good-naturedly, making the atmosphere in the room relaxed and pleasant.

Huang Shitong glanced furtively at Sima Xiang beside him, a complex expression in his deep eyes.
