Chapter 736: The show finally begins

The Japanese stock market opens from 9:00-11:00 Tokyo time in the morning, and from 12:00-14:00 Tokyo time in the afternoon (the time in the previous chapter was incorrectly calculated as Beijing time, so I still see it).

After the market closed in the morning, the entire market was in a frenzy. Many investors were dumbfounded by the continuous fluctuations in the stock index in the morning. Moreover, the transaction volume in the morning alone reached an astonishing US$17 billion. This was already the largest transaction volume in one day after the Japanese bubble economy burst in 1990.

, and this is the trading volume in the morning, what about the afternoon? Will it be even crazier?

"Qingtian, what are you talking about in this stock market? How should we buy it?" Ordinary small investors cannot understand the stock price fluctuations this morning. They want to invest, but they are not sure.

"On the mountain, observe, observe more. It is said that there is a consortium that wants to manipulate the stock market. We can observe more, observe. Don't be blind!" Qingtian, who is quite proficient in stocks, looked at the market, shaking his head and analyzing.

...

Many Japanese investors are talking to each other, not knowing what to do. Originally, they heard that the Japanese government promised to invest in bailing out the market, and many investors wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a small profit. But looking at today's situation, it can be said that it is dangerous and unpredictable. Who dares to invest money in the stock market easily?

.

Sony President Howard Stringer looked at the closing price and nodded. If there hadn't been so much bad news in the morning, the stock price would have gone up. With the Japanese government's full rescue effort, these sniper consortiums with unknown origins would never even think about it.

The Japanese stock market was not affected at all. Howard Stringer believed that as the bad news was clarified one by one in the afternoon, the stock price will continue to rise. This time, it will definitely be able to severely damage the sniper syndicate.

The outside world is also optimistic about the Japanese stock market. It is believed that the Japanese stock market will smoothly survive the biggest crisis since 1990 under the Japanese government’s advance investment support. After all, the real estate prices back then were so ridiculously high that one can buy them in Tokyo.

It is too exaggerated to bring down the entire United States. Therefore, the Japanese stock market was on the verge of collapse that year, but this time it was just because of the huge losses of Sony and other 17 listed companies, coupled with the sharp drop in stock prices caused by the attacks of unknown consortiums. This situation is not impossible.

solved.

However, compared with the optimistic view of the Japanese stock market by the media from all walks of life, various countries have long been eyeing the Japanese stock market, and investors who have heard the news have different attitudes towards the Japanese stock market. This unknown consortium will obviously not give up on this attack, and there is definitely more than that.

Means, otherwise it would be too childish and too hasty. It is too idiotic to want to snipe the Japanese stock market with just this means (releasing bad news).

Among them, the one who is most convinced that Lin Feng has follow-up methods is naturally Buffett. Since Lin Feng asked him to make some "short" remarks about Japan (referring to investors who are negative about the future of the market or individual currency prices), it proves that Lin Feng

The wind definitely has a backup plan. And Buffett also feels that the Japanese stock market is abnormal. However, there is no data theory to support him, this is just his consciousness.

Ever since "Stock God" Buffett bought his first stock at the age of 11, Buffett has been playing stocks for 62 years. Although he does not speculate in futures, he focuses on the company's performance and profits, and only buys "cheap" low-priced stocks.

This does not mean that Buffett has no understanding of futures. On the contrary, he is very proficient. With 62 years of stock experience, he can vaguely smell a hint of conspiracy rippling in the stock market.

Soros is also paying close attention to the stock market. His Quantum Fund has once again raised US$7 billion in funds. This time is also Soros's self-redemption. Since the financial crisis in Hong Kong in 1997, Soros has made several consecutive mistakes and suffered losses.

Quite a few, although it has little impact on his personal net worth (Soros currently has assets of 11 billion US dollars, mostly in real estate. Although the cunning Soros is known as a "financial investor" and "currency speculator", his personal financial management

, or follow Buffett's example in investing in stocks and real estate with stable growth), but it has a considerable impact on its reputation.

The abnormal fluctuations in the Japanese stock market this time have attracted Soros's close attention. There is only one thing he wants to know now, whether Lin Feng has a back-up plan. This time, he will never rush into the Japanese market. After all, Japan

After the government announced a US$50 billion bailout, it was impossible for him to rush into the market. At that time, the Hong Kong government used 13% of its foreign exchange reserves (approximately US$13 billion), so he and many speculators returned home. This time they faced Japan.

Soros is really a little afraid of the government's $50 billion bailout, even afraid.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Soros must be absolutely sure before entering the market.

At this time, Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng frowned, and the current situation was not good. Although Abby Cohen used various news to temporarily delay the upward momentum of the Japanese stock market, without countermeasures, they would not be able to hold on in the afternoon.

Of course, if you want to escape at this time, you can escape. But the US$340 million earned before may be wasted for the first time.

Tang Jiacheng wanted to persuade Lin Feng to give up. After all, the Japanese government announced a US$50 billion bailout the next day, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Instead of fighting head-on, it is better to retain strength and wait for the opportunity to fight again. But looking at the determined look on his face,

Lin Feng and Tang Jiacheng couldn't tell.

While the three of them were hesitating, Lin Feng received a call.

"Boss, I've got the stuff. I'll fax it to you right away." Erika Kazama said eagerly with a relieved voice. After a long struggle, she finally got the evidence. And she even secretly recorded it.

Got a recording!

"Okay, pass it over immediately." Lin Feng almost wanted to cheer. At this moment, it was only 15 minutes before Japan opened in the afternoon, and he finally got the evidence.

Not long after, a piece of evidence about the safety accident of the "Tokyo Electric Power" nuclear power plant was passed over. After reading it, Lin Feng, Li Zekai and others were all excited. At this moment, Li Zekai and others knew that Abby Cohen wanted them to keep selling "Tokyo Electric Power"

What is "Electricity"? This evidence is enough to defeat TEPCO's previous false statement that the large-scale power outage in Tokyo was just a normal maintenance failure.

Although this has nothing to do with performance profits, it is enough to make investors question the integrity of "TEPCO" and further doubt whether the financial statements just announced are true, which will directly lead to the decline of "TEPCO" and thus affect the overall market.

trend.

Later, Lin Feng passed this evidence to Abby Cohen.

After seeing the evidence, Abby Cohen breathed a sigh of relief. With this evidence, she could play with the Japanese government. Back then, Soros wanted to use false information to confuse investors, but was eventually arrested by the Hong Kong government.

Defeated. But this time, I have real evidence to attack the Japanese government. The two are completely different. And recently, the weather in Tokyo has been very bad!

"Boss, just relax and prepare to watch the show!" Abby Cohen hung up the phone easily.

Hearing Abby Cohen's extremely relaxed tone, Lin Feng also let out a long breath.

"You three, it looks like there's a good show to watch this afternoon!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

The three of them, Li Zekai, looked at each other and looked forward to it secretly. Although they knew the role of this evidence, Abby Cohen also had knowledge about how to operate it. Tang Jiacheng was also a stock investor, so he was even more looking forward to it.

Tokyo time, April 2, 2003, at 12:00 noon, the Japanese stock market opened on time.

"Hmph, today I am going to defeat this consortium that dares to attack the Japanese stock market!" Noda Yoshihiko was slightly drunk, pounding the table and shouting loudly. At noon, he received a call from the cabinet, praising him for his proper response in the morning, which made Noda extremely

Excited. His goal is not just to be a finance minister, he has a higher goal. If he can finally drive away foreign speculators this time, he will be a hero of the Japanese stock market, which is a very glorious achievement in his political achievements.

"Acquire 1 million futures for me!" Yoshihiko Noda shouted, slamming the table.

The other party did not have the guts to absorb the 500,000 futures contracts just now, which not only proves that the other party's financial resources are exhausted, but also proves that the other party's courage is just that. The continuous release of bad news after that also proves that the other party is just struggling to the death and stubbornly resisting. Now I

Come and give the opponent the final blow!

"Uh, Noda-kun, this...this...the other party not only shorted 500,000 lots, but also took the order we placed in the morning, and now has shorted another 2 million lots!" the trader stuttered.

This data is really the only one he has ever seen in his life. This order is really too big. There are 2 million short sales for 25,000 US dollars each. This is an order of 50 billion US dollars. Although using the "leverage effect", the other party only needs to bear 10% of the cost.

That's $5 billion, but it's still scary.

Noda Yoshihiko was dumbfounded on the spot! The other party's huge sell order exceeded his expectations and exceeded his estimate. He never thought that the other party would have the financial resources and courage to sell such a large sell order. You know, each of these futures orders

It means that the other party is short-selling, and the price is 7650 points. If the Nikkei Index rises by 1 point, each futures index will lose 100 yen. Now the other party has short-sold a total of more than 2.78 million futures contracts, that is, the daily index futures price is 7650 points.

For every 1-point increase in the economic index, Lam will pay 278 million yen, or approximately US$3.03 million.

The Nikkei Index is currently at 7750 points. After calculation, Lam Feng has lost US$303 million. Does the other party have such strong funds to compensate? Who is the other party? Of course, vice versa. If the Nikkei Index falls below 7650,

For every drop, the Japanese government represented by Noda Yoshihiko will pay 100 yen.

Thinking of this, Noda Yoshihiko broke into cold sweat on his forehead. Did the other party want to fight him to the death?

"Noda-kun, the market index is now suppressed by these 2 million futures contracts. It has been falling all the way down to 7680 points. Do you want to take it?" the trader asked nervously.

Noda Yoshihiko frowned. Did he still have any choice at this time? What's more, he never believed that the other party's funds could be as strong as his own.

"Pick it up, pick it up for me!" Yoshihiko Noda roared angrily.

With Noda Yoshihiko's move, the Nikkei index stabilized at 7670.
Chapter completed!
