After the grand wedding, Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan went to Europe for their honeymoon and returned to Hong Kong after half a month to celebrate the New Year.
Right after the New Year, the Gulf War broke out, with over 30 countries joining the non-binding anti-Iraq coalition. As the war raged on, crude oil prices soared rapidly. Nie Zhan's principal of one billion greenbacks had now turned into more than 11.6 billion greenbacks.
Nie Zhan said to Lu Jiaxin, "Jiaxin, I plan to continue buying, what do you think?"
Petroleum is a strategic commodity, and as soon as the situation escalates, prices shoot up. Given the current circumstances, they are bound to rise further.
Lu Jiaxin, having no impression of the Gulf War, thought for a moment and opposed his decision: "We've already made tenfold profits, it's time to cash out at a good point, let's not go any further."
