Chapter 281: The mall is attacked
Kate could naturally feel the abnormality of the smile on Tang Bao's face, not as gentle and indifferent as usual, but with a little more chill.
Apparently.
The media pointed the finger at Tang Bao, which made him very angry.
"Hoo ......"
Tang Bao took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the emotions that were almost exploding, so that he could keep a cool head and think carefully about how to deal with it. If the news media is allowed to smear and mislead him so wantonly and arouse the hatred of the Japanese people, even if he is not blacklisted as an undesirable investor by Japan, it will be very difficult to expand his business in Japan in the future. His long-awaited plan to regain control of Kirin Investment Bank will come to naught, and he may even be forced to relinquish control.
Unless Tang Bao's company has no interest in Japan, it is impossible to completely ignore this storm of public opinion.
"Who the hell leaked the news? Boss, do you think it could be that some of the traders who disbanded and left were not tight? Kate said.
"Oh, there is no need to think about this problem at all, it must be Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, Citigroup and other American investment banks that are playing a trick to lead the way to the east. Like the Tiger Fund, the RTM Fund, the Quantum Fund, etc., are all circulating everywhere in the global capital market, retreating after getting a vote in Japan, and the next time they rush into the Japanese market, they don't know what the Year of the Monkey will be, and they don't care about the Japanese government's dislike of them. Only investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, and Citi need to cover up, because they also need to do business in Japan. It's just that instead of pushing these onto international hedge funds that are not regulated by the government, these bastards have fallen on me! When he saw the overwhelming news reports pointing the finger at him, Tang Bao knew who was behind him.
As for the hired traders, each of them received tens of millions of dollars in bonuses and became rich in an instant. With so much money, it is more than enough to enjoy life comfortably or start your own business, and you can't offend Tang Bao. After all, even if someone reveals these secrets. At most, it will cause some trouble to Tang Bao, but it will not be able to cause substantial damage.
……
When the media reported that Tang Bao had made a huge profit of $100 billion in the Japanese stock market crash, the full-time spokesman of the Phoenix Investment Group immediately stood up and denied it. The spokesman claimed that the Phoenix Investment Group, like other hedge funds, is engaged in various financial investments in the global market, and the vast majority of its investment projects have also made a lot of profits, but the rumors of 100 billion US dollars in returns are pure nonsense and a conspiracy by people with ulterior motives against the Phoenix Investment Group.
However, when asked about Tang Bao's whereabouts, the spokesman only claimed that Tang Bao was still on vacation, and his specific whereabouts had not been filed with the company.
The middle and senior management of the Phoenix Investment Group remained silent and refused to be interviewed by some reporters.
For the answer given by Phoenix Investment Group. The reporters were naturally dissatisfied, especially when they could not know the specific whereabouts of Tang Bao. Reporters suddenly had a strong idea, maybe Tang Bao is really hiding in Japan, directing the short Nikkei futures throughout the process.
Thereupon.
A large number of European and American journalists flocked to Japan to find the truth...... Some shrewd reporters are staring directly at the flight situation at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, and as long as Tang Bao leaves by plane, he will definitely be discovered as soon as possible.
……
"Whew, boss, the media is getting louder and louder against you. Even I heard someone on the street abusing you. If the bankrupt Japanese knew that you were still in Tokyo, they would be furious. To be on the safe side, it's safer to go back to the U.S. early. Kate said worriedly.
"Well, that's right. Boss. Nowadays, many ignorant ordinary shareholders have been lured by the media to think that you are the culprit of the stock crash, and many people grit their teeth when they talk about you. Luckily, my reputation wasn't very good, and no one in Japan recognized me. Otherwise, my negotiations for the acquisition of various technology patents would not have gone so smoothly. Capps also echoed these days. He has been in contact with various acquisition targets, so he naturally has a better understanding of what the outside world is really like. "Boss, it's obvious that someone is taking the blame on us, the sooner you return to the United States, the faster you can explain it to the outside world, the longer it drags on, the worse the impact will be." In just a few days, I can clearly feel that some Japanese people have a very bad impression of you, and once this negative impression is formed, it is very difficult to completely reverse it. ”
Kapus didn't blush at all when he talked about "carrying the black cauldron", and he didn't think that Tang Bao was indeed the biggest winner in shorting the Japanese stock market this time, and even Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers and other bears were cheated by them. Anyway, in his opinion, this was originally the handiwork of many financial predators, and it was unfair that their side was thrown out separately to attract firepower afterwards.
In fact.
He didn't think at all that this time Goldman Sachs and other financial predators put Tang Bao on the fire to roast, not only because it was as simple as finding a strong person to come out and carry the black pot, but more because they suspected that Tang Bao was the mysterious person who closed the position in advance completely, and they wanted to retaliate.
Right.
It's revenge! Although they had no way of knowing for sure that Tang Bao was the one who had closed their positions early and eroded their profits, he was the biggest suspect.
"Whew...... Kate, Cappus, how about you say I'm holding a press conference in Tokyo to clarify? Tang Bao suddenly asked.
"Ahh
"Boss, you're not kidding, are you? Yes, it's better just a joke! At this time, you take the initiative to show up in Tokyo, which is definitely the worst idea, but I am afraid that those who have lost their fortunes because of the stock market will angrily look for you desperately. Even if the elites of those large companies are angry, they may admit defeat in the bet, after all, everyone is playing according to the rules of the game, but those ordinary investors will not think like that, they will only think that because of your boss, they have lost all their wealth and gone bankrupt, and they feel desperate! "Caps said.
"Yes, boss, it's never a good idea to hold a press conference in Japan to clarify." Kate hurriedly nodded in agreement, her expression becoming nervous.
Scold.
Seeing the nervous expressions of Kate and Cappus, Tang Bao couldn't help but smile speechlessly, and did not mention the matter of holding a press conference again.
In fact.
The Japanese have a good or bad impression of him, and Tang Bao doesn't bother to care about it at all. But the Japanese market is an important part of his future business plan, and he will never give up lightly.
Under the constant persuasion of Kate and Cappus, Tang Bao decided to leave Japan as soon as possible. Before leaving, he plans to go to the mall to pick up some gifts. This time, Tang Bao wandered outside for more than half a year. didn't accompany Li Zhen for Christmas, and missed the New Year and Valentine's Day, so I definitely have to compensate with gifts. In addition, he didn't take the final exam this time, and he had to find Professor Lederman to accommodate him when he went back, otherwise he would just fail the course.
Inside the mall.
"We make a lot of economic and technical assistance to China every year, but we didn't expect to attract such a return, which is really hateful."
"Investors like Tang Bao, who have caused a serious negative impact on the Japanese economy, should be directly included in the list of undesirable investors......
"Damn Tang Bao, my net worth has shrunk by half because of him!"
……
Listen to the indignant talk of passers-by. Tang Bao couldn't help but be speechless for a while, secretly saying that what Capps said was right, it seemed that he had really aroused public outrage. Tang Bao only walked around the first two floors of the mall, and encountered no less than a dozen waves of similar discussions. Whenever it comes to the Japanese stock market, Tang Bao will always be affected by the pond fish.
"Nima's, even if your stock market doesn't show up without me, it will fall very badly, okay? Why are you counting all this on me? Tang Bao muttered innocently.
Of course.
The wise Tang Bao would never stand up to refute it, and he was also afraid of being besieged. Although the odds of this happening are slim. But I'm afraid.
"Huh, boss, let's hurry up and evacuate after buying things. Some newspapers publish your photo, and there's no guarantee that someone will recognize you. Kate reminded.
Forehead.
Tang Bao helped his sunglasses. He said, "So that someone can recognize me?" ”
"Well, I can see it at a glance anyway." Kate said helplessly, of course, she also knew that this had to do with her being by Tang Bao's side for a long time. He has long been familiar with the matter.
……
Tang Bao and Kate were chatting and shopping for items, because many things were bought for Li Zhen, and he would also consult Kate's opinion in a timely manner.
"Huh?"
Tang Bao was holding a pair of exquisite jade bracelets and observing them carefully. When he found that the mine not far away suddenly rushed towards him, his brow furrowed slightly.
Without waiting for Tang Bao to ask, Lei said: "Boss, there is a situation, we must evacuate!" As she spoke, Natalia rushed over.
Then.
Ould and Boris also surrounded and protected Tang Bao.
Compared with Kate, who looked a little nervous, Tang Bao still looked calm, and asked unhurriedly, "What happened?" ”
"I found a group of young people with weapons pouring into the mall with unkind faces, probably because the Hey Gang was about to break out into ......conflict," Lei replied.
Call.
Tang Bao couldn't help but smile lightly, "Since you didn't come for us, you don't have to be so nervous." ”
"Hey, the gang fight could cause a lot of chaos, and Natalia and I will have a hard time coping with it, and Ould and Boris are just in case." Thunder Road.
Suddenly.
Ray, Natalia and the other four people's faces changed, and Lei hurriedly reminded: "Boss, that group of people came straight to this floor, maybe it wasn't Hey Gang Fighting, but coming for us!" Immediately, Ray, Natalia and the others no longer hesitated, took out their hidden pistols, and stood on guard.
"Go, evacuate to the stairs on the right......" Ray received Ilya's guidance and immediately ordered.
But.
Obviously, it was too late, and at this time, a group of young men with fierce faces came out of the elevator and rushed in the direction of Tang Bao with their knives.
Yes.
Suddenly, customers and clerks scattered and fled, screaming one after another, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.
"Stop!"
Watching a group of men with knives rush frantically, Ray roared with his gun. He knew that this was Japan, not the United States, and if he shot him directly, he might cause trouble for Tang Bao. Especially in the case of Zai Tang Bao's recent strong controversy in Japan.
Pity.
Ray's warnings had no effect. As if they hadn't seen Lei's pistol, the group of young people frantically pounced on Tang Bao.
Bang.
Ould shot directly into the knee of the young man who rushed to the front, and the young man immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand fell to the side.
"Hmph, if you dare to get closer, you won't have such good luck in the future, just kill it!" Ray looked at the crowd as they stopped the impact. Stern warning.
Which material.
It's okay that Lei didn't speak, but as soon as he finished speaking, this group of knife-wielding young people suddenly woke up, shouted and cursed, and rushed over as if they didn't want to die.
"Farke......" Ray couldn't help but curse. Then, to the crowd, he said, "Ould, you and I will deal with these fools. Natalia and Boris, the two of you are in charge of keeping an eye on it, and if you find a fish that has slipped through the net or has a hot weapon hidden, you will shoot it directly. ”
Face a group of crazy youths with knives. Lei is not afraid for a year, and solving it with his bare hands and not showing no human life can save Tang Bao a lot of trouble.
Of course.
There is a premise for this, that is, Tang Bao's safety must be absolutely guaranteed, if this prerequisite cannot be guaranteed, then there is no way to shoot and kill.
"Hmm."
Natalia and Boris replied.
……
Bang bang bang.
About four or five minutes later, a group of young men with knives were lying on the ground without exception, and all kinds of knives were scattered all over the ground, and there were blood stains everywhere.
"Phew. At this point, he also learned that people came out to cut people, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Ould slowly wiped the blood from his hands and spat disdainfully at the young man at his feet.
"Whew, boss. It's all done, it looks like it's just a bunch of unruly thugs. Ray laughed.
Tang Bao also walked over, looked at the group of young people of unknown origin on the ground, and said, "Do the gangsters who don't enter the stream have such ruthlessness?" Not even afraid of guns? "Obviously unable to defeat Lei and Ould, this group of people did not flee, but tried to find an opportunity to cut Tang Bao several times.
This obsession. It's definitely not something that ordinary gangsters can have.
"Heh, I wonder, what did I do that people and gods are angry about, and you actually made you hate me so much?" Tang Bao smiled lightly.
"I ...... I know ......" At this moment, a young man with a bloodied face struggled to his feet and limped over. Then he suddenly pounced on him and yelled bitterly, "Go straight to hell and ask!" ”
Yes.
Without waiting to get closer, he kicked it away, flew five or six meters upside down, fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Oh yes!"
Ould then rushed over, raised his foot and kicked the young man in the leg fiercely, only to hear a clattering sound sounding continuously. "Boy, you can stand up again and try"
“……”
Listening to Ould's call, Tang Bao couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but he didn't say anything.
"Enough, Ould, people have already fainted, and they don't feel it anymore. There are also shopping malls full of surveillance cameras......" Lei said.
"It's a blind spot for monitoring, and it won't cause trouble! What's more, they want to cut the boss, even if they kill them directly, it is legitimate defense. Ould replied blandly.
Then.
Ould looked at the only man in the field whose face remained relatively clean and sober, and it was the young man who had been shot in the knee and fell to the ground.
At this time, Tang Bao also noticed this man, so he said, "Keep it, I want to ask a few questions." ”
"You know me? Why do you want to cut me? Who are you? "Tang Bao is very proficient in Japan, but there will be no communication barriers.
The man shot in the knee was silent.
"If you don't want to be like that companion of yours, you'd better answer my question obediently." Tang Bao smiled very calmly.
The words fell.
The man's body trembled visibly, and it was obvious that Ould's brutal tactics just now had left an unforgettable shadow on his heart.
"Recognize ...... Recognize...... Know. We are all from the Xiaolin Society, and we cut you because you made our investment suffer heavy losses and face bankruptcy. ”
"Kobayashi will?"
Tang Bao couldn't help frowning, feeling very unfamiliar with this organization. Tang Bao wanted to continue to ask for details, but unfortunately it was too late, and the police from Tokyo came.
The police who arrived saw the bloodstained mall, like a slaughterhouse, with more than 30 people lying around, and few sober people.
I was immediately shocked.
It took a long time for the police to wake up and immediately began to organize ambulances to treat the wounded. And Tang Bao and his party, who were standing in place, naturally couldn't leave directly, and they were all taken into the police station. (To be continued......)
