Chapter 272: The Beginning of a Nightmare

2 January 1990.

New Year's Day is over, and the stock exchange is back in business.

39992 points.

The Nikkei did not directly break through the 40,000-point mark as predicted by market analysts, but fell slightly, which is tantamount to pouring cold water on countless investors who continue to be optimistic about the Japanese stock market. I was very sorry and unwilling in my heart, but I didn't panic because of this, just a small pullback.

Affected by this.

The price of Nikkei futures also fell slightly, and small short orders continued to appear.

The bulls, led by Mitsubishi and Mitsui, saw the decline in the price of Nikkei futures, and immediately couldn't sit still, and after some phone communication, they decided to fight back.

Then.

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen or so long orders of 5,000 hands were thrown out in a row, mixed with some long orders opened by the follow-up of some free capital. In a short time, the market was filled with more than 70,000 or 80,000 orders, and it was constantly growing...... Immediately, the price of Nikkei futures immediately rose and unexpectedly broke through 40,000 points.

The strong performance of the futures market fully showed that investors were very "optimistic" about the Japanese market, and immediately affected the Japanese stock market, and suddenly, the stock market rose, and the Nikkei index also naturally exceeded 40,000 points.

Moment.

The whole country of Japan has become boiling, they have created a "stock market myth", and their confidence is even stronger that the Japanese stock market will not fall!

"Boss......?"

Seeing the continuous rise of Nikkei futures, the momentum is very strong, and it is clear that the Nikkei has broken through the 40,000-point mark, which greatly boosts the morale and confidence of the bulls.

"Huh. It's really a bit surprising that he broke through the 40,000-point mark so easily. Since no one else is in a hurry, it is better to see who has more patience. Who is more resilient? Staring at the Nikkei index rising all the way, Tang Baofeng smiled lightly.

Follow behind to fish in troubled waters, wave flags and shout, or take the lead in the charge...... That's a big difference. Although with the deployment scale of Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group, it is impossible for him to be just a small role of waving the flag, he is also unwilling to be the one who blows the horn of the charge.

He didn't want to be drawn to the firepower by the white pushout.

In his previous life, Soros sniped the pound and set off the Asian financial turmoil, which made him famous, but he also stood on the cusp. When the global media is focused on Soros, no one will notice that there are actually many unknown giants who make more money than Soros.

With the strength of Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group. It is impossible to become a small role of waving the flag, but he doesn't want to be pushed out as a "leading big brother".

"According to the estimation of our remaining funds, we can tolerate the price of Nikkei futures rising to about 41,000 points at most, and if it is higher, the margin may be under pressure." Leg reminded.

"Huh. Don't worry, it's impossible for the Nikkei to rise to 41,000 points at this tense moment. What's more, you don't need to worry about insufficient funds......" Tang Bao said with a smile, not to mention whether other financial predators can tolerate Nikkei futures rising to 41,000 points. Even if they were all prepared, he was not afraid. He still has a hole card in his hand, which is a lot of Nikkei constituent stocks, sell these stocks. Not only can it suppress the Nikkei, but it will also return a large amount of money, so Tang Bao doesn't need to worry about it at all.

And.

Tang Bao has allocated a large number of real estate in Japan, and can also take out mortgages at critical moments...... Housing prices in Japan are booming today.

Tokyo. In a trading room.

"Fack, damn it, he can really bear it!" The price of Nikkei futures is constantly rising. Countless retail investors were immediately crushed out, and seeing that the market was still calm and silent, the face of the hook-nosed man was extremely gloomy. Helplessly, the hook-nosed man began to dial the phone and said, "Tang may have seen through our intentions and didn't react at all. We can't continue to wait passively, and if we let the Japanese consortium continue like this, we will be the first to become dangerous......"

Originally.

The hook-nosed man and others all discovered Tang Bao and the Phoenix Investment Group's operation in the Nikkei futures market, and while secretly excited to have a powerful helper, they were also secretly planning, hoping to take this opportunity to plot against Tang Bao. Shorting the Japanese stock market and futures is in line with the rules of the game, but the consequences of this large-scale attack and suppression of the Japanese stock market will be very serious, and no one wants to bear the pressure of public opinion after the fact. Even if they will not be held accountable, they will most likely be listed as undesirable investors in Japan.

Japan is a huge market, and no one will give up easily.

……

"We can't wait any longer, let's shoot together!"

"Hmm."

The hook-nosed man hung up the phone. He immediately turned around and yelled at the trader in the trading room, "Take more orders and smash the market for me." ”

Forthwith.

400027 points, 400018 points, 400023 points, 40011 points, 40007 points......

In Japan's futures market, there was a sudden surge, and the long and short sides launched a fierce battle at every price. The battle situation was stalemate and bloody, and countless investors also chose to join their favored side after watching the battle for a period of time, and the battle situation continued to intensify as time went by.

"Sell, sell Honda shares!" The hook-nosed man commanded.

"Honda's earnings exceeded expectations, and it is the most noisy stock in recent times, and selling Honda shares may not have a good effect."

"Sell them all!"

The hook-nosed man didn't hesitate and commanded decisively. This plan was led by him, and if he didn't go all out himself, I was afraid that it would eventually turn into a mess. So although I understand that the morale of the bulls is high at this time, it is not the time to fight, but I can only grit my teeth and rush forward to fight hard.

Fortunately.

After the hook-nosed man attacked with all his might, the main bears followed suit.

……

"Huh? The stocks of Honda Motor, Nissho Iwai, Sony, and Panasonic are all plummeting, and some stock markets are selling off in large numbers! Seeing the sudden decline of the rising Nikkei, the president of Mitsubishi Bank quickly found the reason and immediately issued an order, "Buy, buy them all!" ”

40003 points, 40009 points, 40011 points. 40007 points, 40004 points, 40001 points, 40000 points......

this day.

That is, on the first trading day after the New Year, the long and short sides of Nikkei futures directly staged a white-knuckle battle and launched a fierce battle.

The vast majority of international investors are on the bears, while the bulls are dominated by Japanese investors.

More and more money is coming in.

The bears attacked fiercely, suppressing the stock market and the futures market at the same time, but the bulls led by the six major consortia did not back down in the slightest, bringing the Nikkei index to the 40,000-point mark to bring investors a frenzy of confidence. launched a strong siege of the bears, not to mention the defeat of the bears, but also successfully suppressed. After several rounds of frantic counterattack by bears, the Nikkei Stock Average finally closed at 40,039 points, still standing firmly above 40,000 points.

……

Closed.

Tang Bao and the others were still looking at the trading screen on the computer, looking at the Nikkei index at 40,039 points, and sighed with a smile on their faces: "Japanese investors are really crazy, but." I like it. Without their madness, we wouldn't have a chance. ”

Today, taking advantage of the long and short sides fighting at a high position, Tang Bao has established a lot of short positions. Predictable. Another astonishing fortune on the books.

"Boss, when are we going to go all out?" Legge asked. They participated in today's long and short fight, but they were far from doing their best.

Tang Bao said with a smile: "When the other bears have exhausted their strength, I will naturally make a move!" ”

Well.

Legge and Cappus and others were surprised. I secretly thought that with the scale of today's long-short battle, the amount invested may exceed tens of billions of dollars. This is not a small fight.

"Boss, isn't it possible that the scale of today's Nikkei futures war has not been used by both sides with all their strength?" Cappus asked, confused.

"I don't know how much ammunition the six major Japanese consortia have prepared. But I'm sure that the main bears still haven't done their best to suppress it...... Some time ago, the main bears absorbed more than $30 billion of stocks of the Nikkei index constituents in the stock market, and today they sold not even a tenth. Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Uh, so many?" Legge was stunned.

"Nothing more, no less!" Tang Bao replied in the affirmative. Legge and others are concentrating on the layout of the futures market, but Tang Bao always pays attention to the Japanese stock market, and even personally participates in the action of pushing up the Japanese stock market, so he naturally knows more about the situation. Moreover, he knew that this sniping on the Japanese stock market was carefully planned by the United States, and the means were not limited to this, and some killer weapons would be used one after another.

……

The Nikkei index broke through 40,000 points and remained unbreakable under the strong sniping of the bears, and Japan's economic situation is also bright, constantly narrowing the distance with the United States.

Investors who are optimistic about the Japanese economy are cheering, celebrating, and full of laughter.

Next.

When the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan's largest professional economic newspaper, made stock market forecasts for 20 well-known entrepreneurs, they were unanimously optimistic that the stock price would continue to rise to 42,000-48,000 points in 1990, and some people even said that the Nikkei index would break through the 50,000-point mark.

"Crazy." Kate was incomprehensible.

"Huh? What's wrong? Tang Bao asked.

"Boss, look...... The newspaper that has just been delivered, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan's largest professional economic newspaper. Kate handed over the newspaper.

"Huh."

When he saw that a Japanese economist predicted that the stock market would break through the 50,000-point mark, Tang Bao couldn't help laughing. What bullshit experts and scholars, like investors, are hot-headed and can't see the situation clearly. "Could it be that this economist has also invested heavily in the Japanese stock market?" Tang Bao was not without malicious speculation.

Nine o'clock sharp.

The exchange opens on time.

40012 points.

The Nikkei opened 27 points lower!

Low opening ......

Countless investors were suddenly shocked and had a bad feeling. At a time when the Japanese economy is doing well, and the stock market is full of confidence and fanaticism, it actually gaps low.

Investors haven't had time to think deeply.

Suddenly.

Japan's stock and futures markets have become turbulent......

Nissho Iwai shares, 20,000 shares, 10,000 shares, 8,000 shares, 50,000 shares, 100,000 shares, 300,000 shares...... One sell order after another was placed, and the stock price continued to fall. In the blink of an eye, the stock price fell by almost 10% and showed no signs of stopping.

Similar situations are not limited to Nissho Iwai. Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Bank, Takeda Pharmaceutical Industry, Mitsubishi Corporation, Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsui & Co., Nomura Securities......

The stock market is flooded with huge sell orders!

"Ah, Sony's fell, and fell again. Mitsui & Co.'s stock price is also falling! ”

"What's going on? Yes...... Two stocks I invested in plummeted by 15%. ”

……

"Someone is maliciously suppressing the Japanese stock market, and if you buy, you must join forces to buy stocks to support the stock price." The president of Mitsubishi Bank said with a solemn face.

In the face of a stormy selling frenzy, he was also panicked. "Damn, don't let me know which traitor lent so many shares to the shorts." At that time, he thought too much about himself, and this time the financial giant was foolproof for the secret layout. They are all absorbing constituent stocks that use real money, and there are no large numbers of borrowed stocks at all.

The stock market is turbulent, and the futures market will not be calm.

Just opened.

The bears kept throwing short orders at the price of 40,000 points, and in five minutes, nearly 100,000 short orders were accumulated, without any fancy ones, that is, they were rudely smashed.

In five minutes, 100,000 short orders shocked every investor who paid attention to Nikkei futures. Everyone realizes that yesterday's battle in Nikkei futures is just a prelude to a big war, and a tenfold and hundredfold battle will be staged next.

At this moment, there is no room to retreat. Whoever retreats dies......

Is the decisive battle coming?

There are still countless people who are still waiting to see or wait for the best time to enter. But seeing such a tragic situation, a trace of cowardice also rose.

After all, many of them are very fragile and have little money. Accidentally bet in the wrong direction, or bet on the right direction but can't survive until the last moment.

Therefore.

Smart travelers will be more cautious and will not easily stand in line. is even willing to be a wall grass. Whichever side is stronger, it will fall!

"Huh? Eaten so quickly! Seeing the rapid transaction of nearly 100,000 contracts, Tang Bao was a little surprised, it seems that the determination of the six major Japanese consortia is very great.

Pity.

No matter how strong it is, it is difficult to resist the siege of countless international tourists. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another batch of empty orders appeared in the market.

"Throw out 50,000 empty orders!" Tang Bao gave the order.

Looking at the overwhelming stock sell orders on the stock market, Tang Bao couldn't help but nod secretly, this is the domineering that the bears should show.

If you are not firm, how can you see the wind and rudder come to wave the flag and shout.

After the order is given.

Tang Bao and Kate began to sell a large number of constituent stocks, in fact, the sell orders for these stocks have already been prepared, and they only need to press the confirmation button lightly to throw them into the market.

Futures market.

50,000 empty orders, 20,000 empty orders, 8,000 empty orders...... The bulls, despite their constant orders, were unable to stop the decline in Nikkei futures.

Soon.

The price of Nikkei futures was suppressed to below 40,000 points, and the situation was even worse, the price of Nikkei futures continued to fall, 39,960 points, 39,955 points, 39,910 points.

……

The price of Nikkei futures plummeted under the pressure of strong selling, and the Japanese stock market also suddenly turned sharply and fell.

But.

The decline in the stock market did not cause panic selling among investors for the first time, and everyone only regarded it as a short-term correction after the stock market surged.

A large number of investors have seized the favorable opportunity of the short-term correction of the stock market and the collapse of stock prices, and desperately bought the bottom. They all know that there are international investors who are shorting Japanese stocks, and they have encountered it several times before, and each time it is the international investors who are shorting the fiasco, and the investors who seize the opportunity to buy the bottom make a lot of money. How can you easily let go of a rare opportunity.

Therefore.

After the stock price plummeted, it immediately attracted a large influx of bottom-buying funds. With the influx of these funds, the plummeting stock price also stabilized and gradually recovered.

Investors who seized the opportunity to buy low-priced stocks suddenly smiled, and those who missed the opportunity suddenly felt annoyed, secretly blaming themselves for being too slow.

Ultimately.

Japanese stocks snapped an eight-week winning streak, with the Nikkei closing at 39,908, down 0.33%. The Nikkei was only above 40,000 points for a day before it was beaten back to its original shape.

No one expected that after the Nikkei fell back below 40,000 points this time, it never looked back, and it would get farther and farther away......

At this time.

Investors are still dreaming of skyrocketing wealth, and no one realizes that the dream of skyrocketing wealth is just a bubble, and today is the beginning of their nightmare! (To be continued......)
