Text Chapter 820 Mr. Five
After successfully taking the long-coveted "big cake" of the Industrial Bank of Japan on his plate, Su Chenyu's biggest task in Japan has been completed, because he has been here for this "big cake" from the beginning.
However, although he got the Industrial Bank of Japan, Su Chenyu did not leave Japan, because there was a more "interesting" thing to do soon.
No one knew that on Jamie Dimon's special plane to Tokyo, there was another person who also came with him, and this person was none other than the famous Jim Rogers, the helmsman of X Fund and one of the two major financial optimus primes of SS Financial Holdings.
Yes, it's Jim Rogers, only this time he came to Tokyo, Japan, secretly, and he didn't want anyone to know that he was here.
As for why?
Very simple!
Because, Jim Rogers is about to do an "interesting" big thing with Su Chenyu.
Just when Su Chenyu and Jamie Dimon were planning to eat the Industrial Bank of Japan, in fact, Jim Rogers was also present, but he was like an "invisible man" and was a spectator throughout the whole process - this is a good "financial assassin".
As a veteran who has been in the financial tide for many years, Jim Rogers, who has been in charge of the X Fund in this life, has completely lost the flamboyance and "big mouth" of the previous life, and he can be as low-key as he can.
However, it is clear to think about it, after all, in the last life, the little capital that Jim Rogers was in charge of was still a thing? Therefore, sometimes it is necessary for him, the principal, to come out in person to build momentum. However, this life is different, X Fund and its sub-funds control a huge capital of more than several trillion dollars, and can crush the financial system of a small country at any turn.
Therefore, Jim Rogers naturally can't be as flamboyant as he was in his previous life, and now he doesn't need to build momentum for himself, he just needs to do the last "throat sealing sword".
Therefore, Jim Rogers's whereabouts in recent years have become more and more low-key and mysterious, and no one knows where he is or where he has been. But every time Jim Rogers and Fund X emerge, there is bound to be huge financial volatility – either a crazy super bull market or a bloody stock market crash.
This time, Jim Rogers secretly came to Tokyo, Japan, naturally to meet the big boss Su Chenyu.
After all, they are going to do something very "interesting"!
Looking at his Jim Rogers, Su Chenyu said with a smile: "Jim, our Mr. Five percent still hasn't turned back?"
"Sue, do you think it's possible?" Listening to Su Chenyu's words, Jim Rogers took a sip of the coffee in his hand and said with a smile: "You know, that is not only called 'Mr. Five', he is also called 'Hammer'." ”
"Also, if our five-fifths gentleman can turn back, it won't be him. Nodding, Su Chenyu shook his head, smiled, and said, "Then what is this person doing now?"
Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Jim Rogers sneered and said, "What else can this one do?" Obviously, the trapped beast is still fighting for the last stand. ”
"So powerful? Does he still want to turn over? You must know that this time, it is not only the opponents in the market, but also the financial regulatory departments of Britain and the United States, what else do you want?"
Smiling, Jim Rogers said: "He doesn't think so, he thinks that with the strength of the Sumitomo family, he can completely raise the international copper price." ”
"What a naivety!"
Yes, this time, the "interesting" thing that Su Chenyu and Jim Rogers are going to do is to target the Sumitomo family, one of the six major consortium families in Japan. For the Sumitomo family, many people may not know so much, after all, his reputation outside is indeed not as big as Mitsubishi and Mitsui, but his strength is not smaller than Mitsubishi and Mitsui at all.
If nothing else, let's just say one thing, you can see the awesomeness of the Sumitomo family, in the collapse of the Japanese economy, the Japanese banking industry lost a lot of money against the X fund. In that gamble, the Sumitomo family lost Sumitomo Bank, one of the core assets of the consortium. However, no one expected that in just a few years, the Sumitomo family would actually establish a new bank, Whitewater Bank, and the momentum of development was quite violent.
However, neither the former Sumitomo Bank nor the current Whitewater Bank, nor Sumitomo Chemical, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Sumitomo Machinery, etc., are the most powerful parts of Sumitomo Trading. Not blowing or black, the most awesome thing about Sumitomo Trading Company is one thing - copper.
Yes, it's "copper"!
It can be said that the Sumitomo family's rise to prominence in the 16th century originated from a copper mine excavated on the island of Shikoku. Since then, the Sumitomo family has become an official copper supplier in Japan with the help of copper mines, serving some of Japan's most powerful families, including the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan for more than 200 years. With the "copper" business as the core, the Sumitomo family quickly expanded into major key industries such as finance and heavy industry, and slowly developed into one of Japan's most powerful chaebols.
Therefore, no matter what kind of financial industry or heavy industry, it is nothing to the Sumitomo Foundation, and their real core is "copper".
It is precisely because of "copper" that there is this famous "Mr. Five Percent".
Yasuo Hamanaka, who heads the non-ferrous metals trading department of Sumitomo Corporation, is known as "Mr. 5 percent" because he controls 5% of the global copper trading volume.
5% of the global copper trading volume, I ask you if you are powerful?
It's really powerful if it's not blown or black.
Suffice it to say, the Sumitomo family's every move in the copper trading market can cause huge volatility and impact on the global copper market.
It is precisely because of this that Yasuo Hamanaka, the "Mr. 5 percent", has swelled a little, so this guy began to use the company's name to trade copper futures in a private account on the London Metal Exchange.
Perhaps because he is too confident in his own strength, Yasuo Hamanaka has been taking a long position in copper, and he is obsessed with it. Even, the international copper price has been falling all the way, and this guy is looking like he is stubborn, just clinging to his long position.
Of course, it makes sense that Yasuo Hamanaka is so stubborn, because the long copper position in his hand in the early stage has made a lot of money because of the rise in international copper prices. That's why this guy has been buying long positions in the international copper futures market, and he has begun to affect the international copper price.
In this case, the London Metal Exchange began to pay attention to this matter in 1991 and negotiated with Yasuo Hamanaka, but obviously, it didn't seem to be of any use. Also, at that time, it was a manic period when international copper prices were rising, and Sumitomo Corporation and Yasuo Hamanaka would have been ghost if they could manage the London Metal Exchange.
However, if you let the Hamanaka Tai Nan continue to do this, the international copper price will still be paid, and it is estimated that it will have to rush to the sky. Don't think that the rise in copper prices is a trivial matter, he has a very important relationship with all countries - coinage.
Yes, it is coinage, because many coins in circulation in various countries are made of copper, so if the international copper price continues to rise like this, the cost of coinage will soar. In this way, it is a nightmare for major central banks, and China is also greatly affected.
Of course, it is not only China that will be affected, but also the United Kingdom and the United States, so the financial regulators of the two countries have repeatedly paid attention to the developments of Sumitomo Corporation and Yasuo Hamanaka.
The meaning is already obvious - boy, take it when you see it.
However, in addition to the reputation of "Mr. Five", Yasuo Hamanaka also has a title of "Hammer", which means that this guy really doesn't know what to do - the United States and Britain have already issued this kind of warning, you don't know how to converge yet, this is not looking for death.
Therefore, after many hints to no avail, the financial plutocrats on the side of the United States and Britain are not so polite, since you don't have a face to you, then just do it. Therefore, with the support of financial families in the United Kingdom and the United States, Quantum Fund, Tiger Fund and some hedge fund institutions in Europe began to frantically short copper futures in the futures market.
In this way, the international copper price seems to have taken a laxative, and it is directly leaked to the end, and the most important thing is that it is not a cliff-like collapse, but the most fatal fall. Why is it said that the yin fall is fatal, because the yin fall will not hurt the "Mr. Five Percent" of Yasuo Hamanaka all at once, let him retreat in the face of difficulties, and directly cut off the position and withdraw, it will only make him slowly fall into it and can't extricate himself.
You know, although the current international copper price has been falling, but the copper position in the hands of Yasuo Hamanaka did not lose much, and even at the end of last year, because of his entry to stabilize the international copper price, so, the copper position in his hand is still somewhat profitable. However, it is clear that Yasuo Hamanaka does not know that this is just a decoy, because there is a bigger blow to come.
If nothing else, the international copper price will flash crash this year, just to bury Yasuo Hamanaka and Sumitomo Trading Company in the rubble at once, so that he will not even have a chance to climb out.
For such an "interesting" thing, Su Chenyu and Jim Rogers naturally won't miss it, so X Fund is also one of the black hands behind it, but he is better than anyone else is hiding.
After all, although SS Financial Holdings is not afraid of the Sumitomo family, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, besides, isn't it more interesting to do it secretly?—— sneak into the village, don't shoot!
This time, "Mr. 5 Percent" is absolutely over......
