Chapter 280: The Target

The Japanese government has launched a series of measures to suppress the trading of Nikkei futures, which has led to a sharp decline in the trading volume of stock index futures, and international capital has lost the opportunity to continue to short the Japanese stock market, and has withdrawn and flocked to Singapore. In addition, the Japanese government's regulation of Nikkei futures has distorted the formation of market prices, causing domestic and foreign investors to doubt the fairness of Japan's financial market.

So.

Restrictions on trading in Nikkei futures did not boost stock prices as expected, and the stock market continued to fall.

At this moment, Nikkei futures have been crippled from an extremely active market, and the mainstream media's exaggeration of "stock index futures causing the stock market to plummet" has gradually receded. Practice has proved that the abolition of Nikkei futures by the Japanese government has not boosted the stock market, but has gradually lost credibility due to intervention at all costs, scaring away a large number of investors and dragging down the stock market to further deteriorate.

"Nikkei Futures" is not the material to blame, and it is naturally impossible for the Japanese mainstream media to carry it all the way to the end. Since mid-April, the news media have successively changed their targets and pointed the finger at the financial predators who have shorted the Japanese stock market, because the vast majority of these financial predators are from the United States, Japan's main economic competitor in recent years, so there is a voice in Japan that suspects that the stock market crash is a long-planned financial sniper war by the United States against Japan, and the United States hopes to castrate the Japanese economy through financial strikes and completely eliminate the challenges and threats brought to the United States by Japan's rise.

Of course.

Japan's economy is rising, but its political, diplomatic, and military affairs are all constrained by the United States, and even if it is clear in their hearts that the United States is the devil, they do not dare to easily and directly call out the US government, so they can only retreat to the next best thing and target Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, Tiger Fund, and other financial predators.

Suddenly.

Financial giants such as Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, Tiger Fund, and RTM Fund have attracted frenzied criticism from the Japanese media. stood on the cusp for a while. Of course, Phoenix Investment Group's Inhorst directly stood up and called on investors to short the Japanese stock market, and it did not escape being criticized and criticized by the Japanese media. And Tang Bao, as the big boss of Phoenix Investment Group, is naturally impossible to ignore. Some media have even shouted the slogan of "Sino-Japanese friendship" and enumerated Japan's various loans and assistance to China in recent years and its contribution to China's economic development. He also pointed out that Tang Bao connived at Phoenix Investment Group's participation in shorting the Japanese stock market and hit the Japanese economy, which would also affect China's economy.

In a word.

Many media outlets have devoted large pages to publicizing the friendly relations between the two countries. Tang Bao's Phoenix Investment Group should not be shorting the Japanese stock market along with the US financial predators.

"Boss, you see these news media reporters are really boring, Phoenix Investment Group's shorting of the Japanese stock market is obviously a very ordinary capital market investment operation action, and they can boast of it to the level of national friendliness." Kate said with a smile, pointing to the newspaper article.

“……”

Tang Bao also smiled speechlessly. It is true that Japan's economic recession will drag down the economies of neighboring countries, but it will be difficult to hit China's economy, after all, the domestic economy is still quite closed at this time. As for the damage to Sino-Japanese friendly relations pointed out by the media, it is even more nonsense. He didn't even bother to stand up and argue. Not to mention that there is no impact, even if there is, Tang Bao will not change his original intention of shorting the Japanese stock market.

"Huh. Boss, it seems that President Horst personally stood up and called for investment to short the Japanese stock market together. It's putting a lot of pressure on Japan! Kate said with emotion.

"That's for sure, if it weren't for the particularly serious impact, it wouldn't have made the Japanese media so hoarse." Tang Bao smiled and nodded. Through a series of investment operations, Phoenix Investment Group has gradually forged a new Wall Street investment myth. Its every move will affect a lot of investors. Horst, who represents the face of Phoenix Investment Group, stood up for the first time to share "investment advice" with investors, and the impact will naturally not be calm. As you can imagine. The miraculous investment experience of Phoenix Investment Group will inevitably cause some investors to follow up frantically, in order to get rich overnight.

"Huh, boss, according to the current public opinion, the eyes of the outside world are still focused on Phoenix Investment Group, Goldman Sachs, etc., and it has not yet been learned that the boss has secretly shorted the Japanese stock market in large quantities. Fortunately, it was not exposed, if the outside world learned that you alone harvested nearly 200 billion US dollars of wealth, I am afraid that it will cause a violent earthquake around the world! Kate laughed.

Well.

Tang Bao also nodded in agreement, the Japanese market has looted 188 billion US dollars, plus the investment in Singapore, as well as the operations of Phoenix Investment Group, Phoenix Capital Company, East West Bank, etc., the total income exceeds 200 billion US dollars, it must be appropriate.

If this wealth is exposed, then Tang Bao may not want to settle down in the future.

Of course.

Tang Bao also knew that it was unrealistic to hide all these riches tightly. Goldman Sachs, Tiger Fund, etc. can all be aware of Tang Bao's investment operations, so the Japanese consortium should also know. Fortunately, in the final closing stage, he concealed most of his trading account by exposing a certain position to attract the market's attention.

"Huh. Even if the outside world knew that I was involved in shorting Nikkei futures, the maximum number of contracts that could be found was only 6.7 million lots, and the profit was about 40 billion US dollars. In the future, don't say anything about 'making hundreds of billions of dollars' outside, if it really leaks out, it will be a big trouble." Tang Bao admonished.

In fact.

The specific harvest of shorting Nikkei futures this time is only clear to Tang Bao, Kate, Legge and Capuz, and others are not so clear.

"I understand, boss. If there were outsiders here, I wouldn't mention it! Kate laughed.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded.

……

Financial predators such as Phoenix Investment Group, Goldman Sachs, Tiger Fund, and RTM Fund have all become characters that everyone shouts about in Japan, and they have become very low-key for a while.

But.

I don't know when.

Suddenly, there was an unusually shocking news circulating in the Japanese market, which was not confirmed and could not be confirmed whether it was true or false, but it spread rapidly. At first, it was only spread in financial circles, and it soon spread so rapidly that it was stabbed in the media.

The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan's largest newspaper specializing in economics, continues to take the lead.

"Tang Bao personally made a big profit of $50 billion by shorting Nikkei index futures! According to sources, Tang Bao quietly came to Japan with many elite traders a long time ago, and Phoenix Investment Group changed its low-key style when shorting the Japanese stock market, attracting the attention of the world, and the real purpose was to cover for Tang Bao's short action. According to reliable sources, Goldman Sachs, Tiger Fund, RTM Fund, Salomon Brothers, and others have all made great returns this time when the Japanese stock market plummeted, and Goldman Sachs has made the largest gain, as high as $7.5 billion. But compared with Tang Bao's personal gains, it is simply not worth mentioning. Tang Bao is the culprit of shorting the Japanese stock market, and he alone snatched $50 billion of wealth from the Japanese stock market. Counting Tang Bao's Phoenix Investment Group and some unknown secret offshore accounts that may exist, Tang Bao's wealth in the Japanese stock market may be as high as 100 billion US dollars! ”

As soon as the Nikkei newspaper was published, it caused a strong shock. Other news media have followed up and reprinted and reported!

"The 'stock god Tang' carefully planned to short the Japanese stock market, and the mystery of last year's secret banquet was completely solved!" -- New York Daily News.

"Tang and Phoenix Investment Group have once again made a big move, taking hundreds of billions of dollars from the Japanese futures market......" -- Wall Street Journal.

"Tang destroyed the Japanese stock market, destroyed a stock market myth that only goes up and not down!" -- The Times.

"The Japanese stock market plummeted, Don's latest masterpiece!" -- Financial Times.

"Tang Bao easily took 100 billion dollars from our financial market, just like withdrawing money from an ATM!" -- Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan.

"The Japanese stock market has been washed in blood, and the culprit has surfaced! That's Tang Bao, who was named the third richest man in the world by Fortune magazine, no, he shouldn't be said to be the third richest man in the world at this time, he stole 100 billion dollars of wealth from the Japanese stock market and became the richest man in the world! -- Japan Sangyo Shimbun.

"The Nikkei fell below 28,000 points, a 33% decline in more than three months, which is equivalent to returning to the stock market level in early '87. All of this was done by Tang Bao, who set our stock market back three years and brought countless stock market investors to the brink of bankruptcy overnight...... I think that from today onwards, Tang Bao will become one of the most undesirable investors in Japan, and the Japanese government should also include him in the list of undesirable investors. -- Asahi Shimbun, Japan.

"It is time ......to stop countless Japanese investors who have been pushed back to extreme poverty overnight because of Tang Bao, while we make a large number of low-interest-free loans and technical assistance to China every year," said Tokyo Shimbun.

……

Well?

Seeing that many media suddenly focused on him, and the financial giants such as Goldman Sachs and Tiger Fund, which were originally accused, were gradually forgotten, Tang Bao's brows couldn't help frowning. Suddenly became the focus, if there was no one behind the scenes, Tang Bao would never believe it.

"Boss!" Kate looked at Tang Baodao worriedly.

"Oh, it seems that someone is planning to plant all this on my head, and the mainstream media in Europe, the United States and Japan are almost all pointing the finger at me......"

Tang Bao's face was calm, with a faint smile on his face, but if someone approached him, he could feel that this smile revealed endless coldness. (To be continued......)
