Chapter 40: The Battle of Christmas (1)

Not to mention that Zhong Shi is recuperating in the hospital.

After paying a billion dollars in the initial stage, the mysterious bears in the Singapore market reappeared in the Nikkei futures market after half a month of silence.

Unlike the last time they sneaked in, this time the bears did not hide their motives at all, and nakedly suppressed Nikkei 225 index futures as soon as they came up, and thousands of short orders were unscrupulously thrown out, vowing to suppress the Japanese market.

At the base camp in Kobe, Jim and his team gathered again, and after receiving financial support from the consortium behind them, they had as much as $8 billion in money on hand this time.

Coupled with the capital in the market, the market value they can influence this time is as much as 100 billion US dollars.

A staggering number.

However, it is still a small figure compared to Japan's total market capitalization of $4 trillion.

How scary is the Japanese stock market? To take a simple example, in '87, the Japanese stock market surpassed the U.S. stock market and became the first shijie, accounting for 40% of the total market value of the global stock market. In '89, it reached a peak, when the market value of the Japanese stock market was 1.3 times that of the US stock market, and the total market value of the US was only $3 trillion at that time.

Trying to leverage such the world's largest market is tantamount to a dream.

Japanese money is out, they simply can't believe they can short the Japanese market, and they can't afford the anger of the public when they learn that they are shorting their country.

The European and American forces named the campaign "Battle of Christmas", with the goal of crushing the Japanese stock market to 36,000 points by Christmas this year.

Japan's Securities and Exchange Act is strange in that it prohibits securities investors from engaging in futures trading, so funds from Japan cannot enter the Singapore Exchange openly. But where is the profit-seeking capital willing to give up such a money-making tool, they have set up leather bag companies overseas, entrusted part of the business here, leather bag companies have funds, and invested in the Nikkei futures index of the Singapore Exchange.

With such a formality, the response to emergencies slows down.

In the first few trading days, Japanese funds were not able to react, and watched as the Nikkei index oscillated and adjusted, and did not return to the strong trend of the previous days.

They immediately couldn't sit still, and after meeting and discussing, they decided to start a counterattack.

Surprisingly, Nikkei futures on the Osaka Stock Exchange are on a very strong rally, and it is clear that investors there are very bullish on the Japanese market.

It's a pity that the two exchanges can't be delivered, otherwise someone will definitely take advantage of the difference in price to make a lot of money.

Two years after the launch of Nikkei futures on the Singapore Exchange, Japan also listed Nikkei futures on the Osaka Stock Exchange for investors in Japan. It's just that because the product was launched much later than Singapore, it is much inferior in terms of influence and pricing.

At this time, a Nikkei 225 index contract costs about 2 million yen (equivalent to more than 10,000 US dollars, the following is denominated in US dollars for the sake of calculation), and 10,000 contracts will cost more than 100 million US dollars.

The Japanese Corps quickly poured the $1 billion it had harvested last month into the Nikkei contract for December, and the market flooded with 100,000 contracts at once.

"Look, the Japanese have entered?" A trader on the floor pointed to a computer screen and said to another companion who was on the phone.

The Japanese came in in an interesting way and showed a lot of confidence. One account after another invariably threw out 3,000 hands of long orders, and soon the market was flooded with as many as 15,000 more orders, affected by this, the index that stayed at the 38,500 position for a long time immediately jumped sharply, and instantly pulled out a white line. (The futures index will generally be higher than the real-time index.) )

The Singapore Exchange has a position limit on each account, and the Nikkei 225 index is limited to 10,000 lots per account, which is not a problem at all for the large Japanese funds in the account.

Similarly, for other large funds that have been planned for a long time, accounts are not a problem, and short-selling European and American funds have already opened dozens of different accounts.

The Singapore Exchange is well aware of this circumvention of regulation, but it has taken a tacit approach in order to maintain trading activity and market influence.

The more than 15,000 lots that were thrown at one moment shook the hearts of every trader, and people realized that a new round of bets on the Japanese stock market had begun.

Sure enough, not long after the long order was opened, the short side reacted, and the information of the transaction came and went, and in less than five minutes, these long orders were all swallowed up at the position of 38500.

"Deal?"

"Yes, the opponent handicap has been set up and both sides have invested a total of ...... Belch...... More than four billion dollars! ”

"Four billion? OMG! ”

A small room where the Japanese gather makeshift has only a row of sofas and a table with two telephones on the table to communicate with the outside world. Several high-ranking agents of the Japanese consortium sat on the sofa together, their faces solemn, and they were all waiting quietly.

"Jingle Bell ......"

At the moment when the voice sounded, the microphone was picked up by the nearest person.

"What? All taken? How long did it take? Less than five minutes? Okay, I see, you wait for my instructions! "There was no greeting, no politeness, as soon as I came up, I got straight to the point and quickly asked the situation clearly.

Everyone in the room listened with bated breath, and when it was five minutes into it, everyone gasped.

"Iwamoto-kun, how much money did you say they would gather this time, can we stop it?" Oda Sawataro put down the microphone and sighed lightly, in this case he also lost his bearings.

Half a month ago, most of the people in the room thought that they had completely defeated the empty side, only Kaoru Iwamoto was still very worried, and the others didn't believe his feelings at all.

Now everyone looked at Kaoru Iwamoto, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how much money do you have in your account? At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore! ”

After waiting for Kaoru Iwamoto to speak, everyone present felt like a long time had passed, and it wasn't until Kaoru Iwamoto said the first word that they breathed a sigh of relief. What's more, he inhales heavily, as if he has been drowned.

They knew that Kaoru Iwamoto had made up her mind.

"I have $800 million here."

"Mine isn't much, only half a billion dollars."

……

After everyone reported their net worth, Kaoru Iwamoto made a little count and found that they would now have more than seven billion dollars in funds, a discovery that shocked everyone present.

yes, plus the billion dollars that are put into the market today, they have a total of close to nine billion dollars in capital. That's enough to move the Nikkei futures index market on the entire Singapore Exchange.

Of course, these were the conditions before European and American capital entered the market.

"For today's plan, only if we join forces can we compete with this fund, otherwise we will all die without a place to bury!" Kaoru Iwamoto nodded, obviously very satisfied with the number.

"What? Want us to listen to you? ”

"It's impossible, if I lose money, how can I explain it to the president?"

"That's it!"

……

There was another quarrel, and everyone jumped out like rats that had been trampled on.

Kaoru Iwamoto looked at all this coldly, taking in everyone's reactions. After everyone quarreled for a while, they also found that Kaoru Iwamoto's expression was wrong, and the noise slowly subsided.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is our duty to do something about the economy of Japan. If you want to join them, go ahead, but I will not forgive him if you ruin the economy of our country because of your money. ”

"I'm sure that even if you were the presidents here, they would make the same decision. Now where to go, you can decide for yourself! ”

Kaoru Iwamoto's words pulled everyone back from the shock. Yes, even if you make a lot of money here, you will definitely not be able to escape the situation pointed out by Qianfu after returning home. What's more, the Japanese stock market is now thriving, and whoever dares to short at this time is afraid that they will not be removed from their current positions in a short time.

If you don't unite and fight separately, you will soon be broken by this huge amount of money. Not to mention anything else, just pulling a down limit every day for this stock of funds is enough to blow up their positions.

"I'll give you five minutes to think about it, and you'll think about looking for me outside!" Kaoru Iwamoto took out the cigarette case from his bosom, opened the door and walked out.

The moment he opened the door, a wave of heat came from outside the room. Singapore is located in the southern hemisphere, and it is summer. A few pampered people who have been pampered for a long time can't stand the heat and are willing to stay in an air-conditioned place at all times.

"I've decided, Iwamoto-kun will take care of the funds!" After being silent for a long time, Oda Zetaro suddenly spoke. When he made this decision, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was much more relaxed. "Iwamoto-kun is right, if this fund is allowed to succeed, then our country will be finished!"

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent again, and everyone was quickly calculating.

……

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Oda appeared in front of Kaoru Iwamoto, bowed deeply ninety degrees, and said sincerely: "Iwamoto-kun, everyone has unanimously decided to hand over the funds to you to take care of." For the sake of Japan's economy, please! ”

Hurriedly throwing down the cigarette butt in his hand, Kaoru Iwamoto hurriedly returned a bow. At this moment, he deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Under the pressure of European and American funds, Japanese funds were also forced to unite, and this time, they were not in the Pacific, nor on the mainland, but on a small island in Southeast Asia, and engaged in a battle with the West without the smoke of gunpowder. (The exciting part is here again, and I hope you will continue to support it, xiexie!) )
