Chapter 733: Fighting!

In 2003, April 2, the second day of April Fools' Day, everyone who had just woken up from all the absurd jokes on April Fools' Day found that the world seemed to be suddenly full of chaos and undercurrents, as if something big was going on.

Like it's going to happen.

First, the Japanese stock market suffered a heavy hit, and then the U.S. stock market also suffered a slight decline. Rumors that were unfavorable to high-tech stocks frequently spread, and there were signs of frequent large-scale capital mobilization. These clues seemed to predict that something big was going to happen.

At 7:30 a.m. Tokyo time, half an hour before the market opened, Sony suddenly announced in a high-profile way that it had led Sony to create new glory - President Nobuyuki Idei resigned due to Sony's huge losses last year and the strong decline in its stock.

It was also announced that Howard Stringer, head of Sony America, would serve as chairman and CEO.

This declaration came out, and the industry was shocked. It turned out that after Sony announced its 2002 financial statements yesterday, with a huge loss of US$916 million, Sony's stock made another strong attack, and Nobuyuki Idei was instantly reduced from being the most successful CEO.

He was the worst CEO. But the outside world never expected that Sony would move so quickly. Just overnight, the CEO was replaced and the first foreign leader in Sony's history was hired.

Howard Stringer, who once served as president of CBS Group, chairman and CEO of tele-tv, and chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment Co., Ltd., is an American with tough skills and excellent business acumen. Of course, he is also an old friend of Lin Feng

In the United States, when Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" was having a war of words with Sony Records, Howard Stringer was promoted to the president of Sony Records. Unexpectedly, this time he was transferred to the Sony headquarters in Japan as president.

When Lin Feng heard the news, he was a little surprised. He had to sigh, this world is too small!

As for the news that Howard Stringer has become the president of Sony, the industry was shocked and optimistic about Sony's prospects. In addition to Howard Stringer's personal resume, this also expresses admiration for Sony's decisiveness in times of crisis.

, the market is optimistic about it. Of course, there is also a bit of Japanese "admiration for foreigners" mentality toward Americans.

Companies such as Capcom that also incurred huge losses have also successively announced that they will integrate the company's non-performing assets and reorganize. The market is bullish. Although 17 companies led by Sony had previously incurred huge losses, they took the money the next day.

The market is still very optimistic about the courage to carry out drastic reforms. Of course, whether it can achieve results can only be seen in the future. But at least for now, investors' confidence in various companies has been stabilized.

Subsequently, before the outside world had fully digested the decisions of Sony and other companies, the Minister of Finance of the Japanese Government also announced that he would lower the bank interest rate by 6% to 5.5%, a decrease of 0.5%. At the same time, he also announced that major companies would

If the huge losses cause a disaster in the Japanese stock market, the government will fund the rescue. At the same time, it calls on many Japanese investors to have an optimistic attitude towards the Japanese stock market, not to be pessimistic, and to actively sell.

This series of actions has greatly stimulated the confidence of Japanese investors. They believe that the huge losses of major companies yesterday will be an opportunity for major companies to reform. Especially with the Japanese government's rescue actions, yesterday's overall decline will be just

A temporary phenomenon.

"It's interesting, there is indeed a problem!" In a corner of the United States, Soros looked at the Japanese stock market with an intriguing smile.

At this time, in the box reserved for a long time by Li Zekai and others of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng were already seated, each watching the Japanese stock market and the U.S. stock market and European stock market that are closely related to Japan. After learning these

When the news came out, the three of them were surprised. They did not expect that the Japanese government would act so quickly.

"Brother Feng, the Japanese government has frequently issued various policies. It seems that it is afraid that we will make things worse and cause more unpredictable consequences." Tang Jiacheng listened to the news from Japan and analyzed it.

However, the Japanese government moves so quickly that they may not have a chance to intervene. After all, with the good news from many parties, Sony's stock price will definitely rise once the market opens. Especially once the confidence of Japanese investors returns, they will only sigh.

, even the money earned before will be wasted.

Lin Feng nodded. He was also worried about the news coming from Japan. Japan's actions this time were too fast. They only dropped a limit and then fully rescued the market. This was beyond the expectations of most investors.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, those speculators can only lose money. But fortunately, Lin Feng was prepared.

Lin Feng looked at his watch. It was 6:45 Beijing time and 7:45 Tokyo time. Buffett should make a statement about the Japanese stock market!

Sure enough, at this moment, news came from the United States. When interviewing the "stock god" Buffett, a reporter from the "Wall Street Journal" conducted a brief interview on yesterday's Japanese stock market conditions.

"In my opinion, Japan's large-cap blue-chip stocks, led by Sony, have suffered serious losses. This is the first time in 25 years that Sony has suffered such a huge loss, and it has lost money in related profit projects, such as LCD TV panels, mobile phone communications departments, and movies.

All investments in the industry have suffered heavy losses, each with losses of more than hundreds of millions of dollars, and their market share has also been lost. They have also changed from the original leader to a chaser. I speculate that in the next 2-3 years, it will be difficult for Sony to turn losses into profits.

After all, Sony's flagship product, the "PS2" which brought the highest profit of US$2.5 billion last year, the global market has been saturated, and it is difficult to create glory again. And now that Microsoft's "Xbox" has joined, I am afraid that Sony will develop follow-up products, which will

It has put heavy pressure on Sony's capital. Moreover, as many as 17 companies have suffered huge losses in the Japanese stock market this time. In my opinion, the Japanese stock market will continue to fall in the future. Investors should make careful decisions!" Buffett said worriedly.

When Buffett's words came out, Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng clapped their hands and shouted. Although the Japanese government often makes strange moves, they are not as good as Buffett's brief speculation. Because he is none other than the "stock god" Buffett.

Moreover, Buffett has never played futures, which is also known to everyone. Therefore, Buffett's remarks are definitely not suspected of deliberately slandering the Japanese stock market and taking advantage of the situation.

In particular, Buffett's last words calling on investors to invest cautiously made all investors feel cold. The stock gods said that they should invest cautiously, so how could they still invest randomly? What's more, Sony's huge losses are indeed true. This is ironclad.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Tintin's case. Although the CEO has been changed and several measures have been introduced, can Sony really save Sony from its decline?

In this mentality of worrying about gains and losses, the Japanese stock market opened.

At 8:00 Tokyo time, Tang Jiacheng received the news from Abby - short selling.

Now that the market has just opened, the entire market is still waiting and watching. After all, the money in the hands of investors is not blown by the strong wind, but is earned by their own hard work. It is impossible to invest blindly. You need to be cautious! Especially when the market prospects are unpredictable.

In this case, you should be more cautious.

Therefore, in this case, Abby hopes to go all out for short selling, giving the market a heavy blow and tilting the balance in the minds of investors.

Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng looked at each other and took a slight breath.

After the three of them dispersed last night, the more they thought about Lin Feng's "gift", the more uncomfortable they became. Originally, they were friends and were equals, but when Lin Feng received this huge "gift", they invisibly felt that they were inferior to each other.

Lin Feng was half shorter, and he felt like he couldn't straighten up in front of Lin Feng.

Therefore, after they dispersed, and after a night of careful consideration, they decided to give Lin Feng a try this time. The worst he could do was start over again, and the four of them would be brothers who would live and die together. Relying on the intelligence and connections of the four of them, Li Zekai

I believe that the four of them can stand up again immediately. What's more, Lin Feng's magic has been verified more than once, and this time should be another moment to witness a miracle.

In the end, Li Zekai raised US$520 million, Tang Jiacheng raised US$100 million, and Zheng Zhiheng raised US$230 million. The three of them raised a total of US$800 million. Of course, this is by no means the entire net worth of the three. If the total net worth is included,

Li Zekai alone can raise nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in funds. But if he breaks everything like that, the elders behind him will definitely know about it, and then things will be troublesome and there will be many unnecessary variables.

Therefore, the three of them secretly raised a total of US$800 million in cash. Fortunately, the three of them came from wealthy families and had a good reputation. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to raise US$800 million in cash overnight.

Task.

"Sell it!" Li Zekai's faint voice contained a hint of excitement and trembling.

Tang Jiacheng nodded, his hands trembling slightly, and continued to short Capcom, Sega and other stocks with 200,000 lots each, at a cost of US$10 million in principal (the actual expenditure was US$100 million, but according to futures trading rules, only one-tenth of the principal was required)

Gold will do).

The Japanese market was buzzing. There were strong attacks from the beginning, which was not good. The stock price immediately began to decline slightly, with one yen and one yen falling.

Abby Cohen in the distance was also surprised. She did not expect that Li Zekai and others would have such abundant funds, and they would be so violent at the opening of the market. You must know that this battle has just begun. Li Zekai and others could sell 1,000 at the opening of the market.

With a principal of ten thousand US dollars, it is obvious that the funds are extremely strong. In this case, Abby Cohen is also unambiguous. This time, Lin Feng's funds are unprecedentedly abundant. With her connections in major investment banks around the world and Lin Feng's reputation, she wants to

The loan couldn't be easier. This time Abby Cohen, with Lin Feng's full authorization, has prepared sufficient funds.

Therefore, Abby Cohen once again shorted 500,000 lots on Sony, and also shorted 500,000 lots on other high-tech stocks. However, at the same time, Abby Cohen began to short sell "TEPCO" in small amounts,

"Tokyo Electric Power" is the focus today.

With Li Zekai and others' short selling, coupled with Abby Cohen's continuous attacks, the stock prices of Sony and other companies suddenly fell again. Sony's stock price fell slowly from yesterday's closing price of $54.19 to $52.

This naturally caused the market to scream again and again. However, unlike yesterday's panic, although the market screamed today, investors' confidence was obviously much higher, and they continued to wait and see with their currencies.

Abby Cohen frowned. It seems that the actions of the Japanese government and major companies have indeed had a huge impact on the market. Under the premise of huge losses of 17 companies, market confidence is still so strong. If

Yesterday, there was such a big selling order that Sony's stock price plummeted.

"Lin, have you got the evidence of the TEPCO nuclear power plant accident?" Abby Cohen called and asked. This matter is of great importance. Without this report, I am afraid I can only prepare to avoid the limelight today.

"Well, don't worry, we already have some clues. We will definitely be able to get it today," Lin Feng said. In the morning, Erika Kazama called and told Lin Feng that the evidence about the Tokyo Electric Power Plant accident was already there.

.An insider at the time had enough evidence to prove the accident at the "Tepco" nuclear power plant, but the price was $10 million.

This made Erika Kazama extremely hesitant. The price was too high. However, the other party would never bargain, and was obviously very humane, knowing the importance of the evidence in his hand. Therefore, Erika Kazama had no choice but to ask Lin Feng in the early morning.

, inquire about Lin Feng’s opinions on handling the matter.

"Elisa, no matter how much the money is, we must take it. But remember, the evidence must be conclusive, and it must not be vague evidence." Lin Feng issued a death order.

However, the witness was not in Tokyo, and asked Erika Kazama to bring cash to exchange for evidence. After hanging up the phone in the early morning, Erika Kazama took 10 million US dollars in cash to exchange evidence. This cash was still a risk.

Risa Mae temporarily took out the money from the vault of the "Second World" Japan branch, and after counting the cash in her hand and looking for people to piece it together, she finally collected 10 million US dollars in cash. Otherwise, I might not be able to make it in time!

Lin Feng looked at his watch and estimated that he would get the evidence soon.

Abby Cohen nodded. In this way, he can unleash his talents. Now he must first "lead the snake out of the hole" and draw out the backhand from all parties, and then throw out his trump card.

"Sell high-tech stocks aggressively, and slowly short TEPCO with small amounts." Abby Cohen passed on the order again.

Tang Jiacheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Abby Cohen would short-sell "Tokyo Electric Power", a large-cap blue chip stock. This is not a high-tech stock. However, thinking of Lin Feng's expression yesterday, Tang Jiacheng did not hesitate and began to short-sell many high-tech stocks in Japan.

Technology stocks, at the same time, were short-selling "TEPCO" one by one without any trace.
