"Hey, Mark, you heard me right, it's the ransacking of Tokyo!" Jim put away his cynical smile and said solemnly.

"Who are these two?" After a moment of silence, Maxim picked up a glass of blue wine in front of him, took a small sip, and said seemingly nonchalantly.

Anyone who hears such shocking words as the sacking of Tokyo will inevitably panic a little, especially since this is the time when the Japanese stock market is booming. At this time, the Japanese stock market had been rising for 30 months, and the long bull market had made almost everyone money, followed by more money invested in the Japanese stock market.

However, as a professional who plays with capital, you need to look at this situation calmly, as Warren Buffett said: "I fear when others are greedy." "Who knows who is swimming naked after the tide!

So Maxim, after the initial shock, quickly calmed down. In fact, there have been many people in his circle who have tried to short the Japanese stock market, but all of them have ended up in a very tragic end, they are ambitious to raise funds, and they have spent a lot of time formulating strategies, but the result is that they have no power to fight back in the face of the bullish market, and they have lost their armor and lost their armor. Some strategists were able to get out of the way, while some aggressive funds and traders lost a lot.

Seemingly calm, Maxim is trying to calm his mood, but his trembling hands betray his heart. He coughed violently twice while drinking to hide his uneasiness.

It's just that all the people present are human spirits, and they all see his abnormality, but they just pretend not to see it and don't break it.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce that this is Mr. William from England, he is from the Hunt family, one of the oldest families in England, I think you should have heard of it." Jim smiled and pointed to the white man with messy blonde hair.

The Hunter family, one of the oldest families in the United Kingdom, is said to have billions of pounds in assets, a hereditary title of nobility, and the family's business is spread all over Shijie, especially in the former British colonies. In addition, they are inextricably linked to conglomerates in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

In addition, members of their family have long held important positions in the House of Lords of the British Parliament, and sometimes even the prime minister's right-hand men.

"It turned out to be a friend from England, and it was a great pleasure to meet you!" Maxim enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and shook William's hand, while his eyes couldn't help but focus on William's shirt, which had an inconspicuous logo on the right chest.

It was the hallmark of the Hunter family, a symbol of their honor. Maxim was a little dismissive of these slightly old-school traditions, but he disguised them well, and on the surface he gave the William Hunt in front of him plenty of respect.

"Hearing that you're the most talented trader on Jim's team, and that your profits last year even exceeded the sum of the others, I think we have plenty of opportunities to work together!" William bent down slightly, showing good cultivation. And he told Maxim's performance in one mouth, thinking that he had done enough research before.

"Okay, keep the compliments for later. This gentleman is Mr. Tomoto Yamamoto from the Sakura Foundation in Japan, do you know that in the stock market crash two years ago, the Sakura Foundation not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money, and it was all in dollars! Jim introduced another man, the diminutive Japanese man he had seen earlier.

Tomoshi Yamamoto stood up, bowed ninety degrees to Maxim, and said in an authentic New York accent: "Mr. Maxim, I am very happy to see you!" ”

Generally speaking, Japanese English is very bad because of the formation of Japanese, because in the formation of Japanese, a large number of foreign words, especially Chinese and English, caused Japanese people to be unable to distinguish between their own Chinese language and English. The Japanese man in front of him spoke so fluently that Maxim was very surprised.

"Don't be so surprised, Mr. Yamamoto is a graduate of New York University, and he has been in New York longer than we all do!" Jim saw the confusion in Maxim's eyes and added in due time.

Maxim was surprised not only by Yamamoto's fluency in English, but also by his record in '87, when the global stock market plummeted, and most of the market participants lost money, except for a few who made money from short selling. The Japanese in front of him, who is not good-looking, can actually profit from a stock market crash that has not been encountered for decades, and his strength cannot help but make people look up to a few points.

After the two sides sat down again, Jim, as the convener, first lit a thick cigar and said unhurriedly in the green smoke: "Japan's capital market has risen sharply for three or four years, which has given rise to a large number of Shijie-level consortia and enterprises, especially in the banking industry, which almost monopolize all the top ten banks in Shijie." Of course, this situation seems to us to be very irrational and false, and this time I am here to gather all of you and help the Japanese government squeeze out this bubble. ”

He spoke in a high-sounding manner, as if he was doing good for the Japanese. In fact, to squeeze out this bubble is to plunder Japan's wealth, even if it is only literal.

"My bosses have discussed it, and it will start as soon as this year, and the exact time is still to be discussed. We are the first march, and the funds behind will continue to come, and I believe that it will be a great battle. ”

In Jim's seemingly casual speech, it was pointed out that he actually had the support of a consortium behind him. Otherwise, with his fund, tens of millions of dollars of capital, invested in the Japanese stock market in full swing, I am afraid that there will be no ripples at all.

In fact, Jim's fund is backed by an American consortium led by Goodman (whose real name will no longer appear in order to avoid secrecy), and Goodman has supported more than a dozen funds of his size in Japan.

Within Goodman, in addition to a fund focused on the Japanese capital market, there is also a fund that invests in hedge funds, and they invest large sums of money in hedge funds operating in Japan, while sharing their in-house research results and operational strategies.

Maxim knew that Jim had worked in the trading department of Goodman before starting his own fund, and that he was still inextricably linked to the original company.

"In fact, some of our partners from the UK have also expressed concern about the prosperity of the Japanese market, and we will spare no effort to help the Japanese market move towards rationality if necessary." William took a sip of whiskey, a light-hearted expression on his face. Just listening to him, it seems that he has the great heart of an internationalist helper, who in fact does the same thing as Jim, and is also a robbery.

Of course, this kind of robbery is reasonable and legal.

"It's not a loss that it comes from an old capitalist country with a long history, and it seems that it does have a deep 'cultural heritage'!" If Zhong Shi was at the scene, he would definitely make such an emotion.

After the two finished speaking, they both looked at Tomoshi Yamamoto. In their opinion, Yamamoto's situation is undoubtedly a little embarrassing, as a Japanese, if such short selling is exposed, he will undoubtedly be under a lot of pressure. Japan is a country that is quite xenophobic in some ways, and even places like Kabukicho are marked accordingly.

However, they also know that for those who are engaged in finance, the ethereal things such as the country and the nation are floating clouds, and the visible interests are the real visible things. And Yamamoto Tomoto, he is a "banana man", that is, his appearance is yellow, but his inner thoughts are completely white shijie.

"I don't have a problem here, the Sakura Consortium has prepared a billion dollars of capital, just waiting for your call!" Yamamoto's eyes rolled a few times, and his face was a little uncontrollable, but after much consideration, he nodded firmly.

In fact, he has no scruples, and even if he disagrees, these people and the consortium behind them will not give up this opportunity to short the Japanese market. Instead of struggling meaninglessly, it is better to play with them.

This is a conspiracy, a contest between bulls and bears, and the stakes are huge wealth.

In many ways, there is not much more Sakura consortium, but there are many consortiums in Japan, and those Japanese consortiums with huge capital don't care about such a small role at all, and only by joining the empty side can they get more opportunities to speak and profit.

More importantly, Japan's regulation is very sensitive to local shorting, and there are even some almost harsh regulations, and only by transferring capital to overseas consortia can you escape this kind of deadly supervision.

"In that case, then we have reached a preliminary agreement. However, I would like to advise you that the news must not be leaked out this time, and the strategy and time that will be formulated afterwards must not be leaked, otherwise we will be in great trouble. Jim's face was happy, but his face tightened, and he said these words of implicit menace.

"It's nature!"

"Yes."

The other three hurriedly responded, and they also knew that this would be a big deal involving billions of dollars, and no one could afford to leak the secret.

A few of them are only agents on the surface, and the consortium behind them is an unfathomable existence. Today's meeting is a preliminary contact, and there are many details to be discussed, and many operational strategies need to be formulated and implemented by the team behind them.

"For the sake of our victory, I propose that everyone raise a toast!" When he was down to business, Jim's face returned to that cynical expression. Several people raised their glasses and drank the liquor in the cup in a noise.

"It's going to be a great moment!" Maxim muttered to himself, he was drunk! (KPMG, a Big Four accounting firm, announced today the launch of its first proprietary investment fund, KPMG Capital, which will invest primarily in the data and analytics industry.) It's definitely close to the water, and it's voted after the trial! zuihou, thank you very much for the reward of the best listener ~ of the book friend! ）
