Kobe, Japan.

In the freezer of a slaughterhouse, large pieces of bloody beef hang. Kobe is famous for its beef, and the beef processing plant called Inawawa is one of the largest slaughterhouses in the region, with hundreds of trucks coming in and out every day.

What is not known to outsiders is that this raw meat processing factory is a secret stronghold of the Yamaguchi-gumi. Just behind the thick walls of the cold room, there is a secret room with an area of about two hundred square meters, and at this moment dozens of men in straight suits gathered in this secret room, among which there are many yellow faces, but more white faces.

Yes, this is Jim's secret base, and the people in it are all financial experts from the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, who are doing the job of sniping at the Japanese stock market.

On a huge workbench sits a dozen computers, each with numbers of different colors flashing on the screen. It's just that the traders sitting in front of the computer are all uninterested in watching the constantly beating numbers, lying or lying on their desks, and wailing from time to time.

The table was a mess, filled with boxes and cups of all kinds of fast food, and even some Coke spilled on the workbench, and no one cleaned it up.

At the end of the workbench, Jim was holding a large satellite phone and muttering something into the microphone, but what he said did not interest the traders in the slightest.

It's no wonder that anyone who loses a billion dollars in a month is frustrated, especially when they only have a total of $5 billion and are hedging their risk in the Japanese stock market.

A strong sense of pessimism permeated this small trading room, and everyone felt that the general trend was gone, and even Maxim felt that a turnaround was impossible.

Knowing that the money is not their own funds, but comes from different consortia, most of the people present shudder when they think about the means of those high-ranking conglomerates.

"Alright, gentlemen, cheer up, we haven't lost all yet, have we?" After half an hour of calling, Jim finally put away his satellite phone and cheered up the languishing traders.

"In this case, it's no different from total annihilation!" A white-haired blonde man said weakly. His name is John Miller, and he is a trader from the United Kingdom, who previously worked in the London division of Goodman & Co., representing a consortium in Europe.

His words resonated with everyone present, and everyone looked at Jim to see what he could say.

In the face of the bullish Japanese market, how much money to do the reverse is like a moth to a fire. At the peak of the bears in October, they once overwhelmed the bulls, but the Japanese market still went its own way and continued to rise. The bulls easily regained lost ground in the face of this great benefit, and even pushed the price of the futures index forward by a big step.

It's like two people boxing, and one of them is already on the verge of knocking his opponent to the ground, only to suddenly a fighter pops up and knocks the dominant opponent to the ground with a hard straight hook, and even stomps on it a few times.

How can this be played!

"Gentlemen, I just received the news that my superiors are very satisfied with our phased work, and there will be an injection of funds soon." Jim dismisses John's words and throws a bombshell.

"Isn't it?"

"How is this possible?"

“……”

Jim's words seemed to throw a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil, causing an uproar. Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at each other, and what they could see in the eyes of others was the same thing, which was incredulous.

When they came to their senses, they immediately had a heated discussion, and most of them couldn't believe that it was true, could it be that the people behind them were crazy and threw a wad of dollar bills into the Pacific Ocean?

Only a few thoughtful traders pondered the implications of what made them so bearish on the Japanese stock market.

Jim was clearly mentally prepared for such a violent reaction. He just smiled at the traders who were arguing fiercely and didn't say anything about it. Gradually, the voice of the discussion subsided, and everyone's eyes refocused on him, looking forward to what he would follow.

"All right, gentlemen. According to information from home, our October battle has managed to attract the attention of big money in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere in Shijie. According to statistics, in recent trading days, a large amount of money has been flowing into Singapore, apparently to do something on the Nikkei index. ”

Jim had a faint smile on his face, and he spoke slowly, and his whole expression was not worried about the huge loss, which made many people think that it was certain.

"It's no secret, in fact, we are the first to stir up the market in the Nikkei period, attract the attention of large international capital, and now we have only completed the first phase of the strategic goal."

"What?"

"So aren't we cannon fodder?"

"A month's worth of effort is just child's play?"

……

Jim's words again provoked a violent reaction. It is only today that they realize that they are just a character on the table, and everything they do is to cause an undercurrent under the table.

The traders, who figured it all out, were a little unhappy, but after they thought of the so-called second or even third stage strategy, they quietly suppressed that dissatisfaction in their hearts, after all, this level of struggle is by no means something like them can mix.

"Gentlemen, do not be disgruntled. Trust me, at some point in the future, you'll be very proud of it. Jim took in the faces of the crowd, but he didn't move.

"Mr. Watson, I don't know how much money you are talking about, and how much money will be injected in the future?" One sentence pulled everyone's minds back, and they realized that they had missed an important point in Jim's words.

The man who spoke was Matt Bacon, and like John, he was from England, and these traders from England were vaguely headed by him, and he was an extremely powerful character even in this group of elite traders who brought together all the major trading markets around the world.

"That's a good question! We, the United States, have decided to add $3 billion to make up $5 billion. The European side will soon receive money in no less than this amount, and it is believed that Mr. Bacon will soon be informed. However, on the Japanese side, please ask Mr. Nakamura to discuss with the person in charge of your consortium to see if there is any possibility of capital injection! Jim said a number that surprised everyone, and pointed out that the European consortium would advance and retreat together with the American consortium, before Zuihou said to a yellow face who had been silent.

Shunsuke Nakamura, a representative of the Japanese consortium, plays the same role as Matt Bacon among Japanese traders, his face was gloomy at this time, and he only nodded subconsciously at Jim's words.

As for Mr. Bacon's second question, there have been more than $2 billion of capital inflows into Singapore, including many well-known capital management firms, such as hedge funds such as Tiger and Sloan Robin. I believe that in the near future, more funds will come in. ”

Jim only revealed two names, and he had already blown away the traders. For them, funds like Tiger and Sloan Robin are undoubtedly behemoths, and their scale of capital management and annualized rate of return are amazing to those present.

In the late eighties, several hedge funds became famous because of their super returns, which in turn triggered the pursuit of hedge funds by global capital, and hedge funds also entered a golden age of development.

Although several of you also manage hedge funds, their capital management scale and rate of return are far from comparable to the giants mentioned by Jim. You must know that these capitals can easily manage hundreds of millions or billions of funds, and they can also achieve an extraordinary rate of return, and their group of nearly 20 people, under the full decentralization of power by the consortium behind them, is still very frightened to manage such a large amount of funds, and they can't let go of their hands and feet. As for the rate of return, it was even worse, losing 20 percentage points in just one month.

If it were a hedge fund in the true sense, the client would have redeemed all the entrusted funds long ago, and the hedge fund would have been liquidated.

"Will they all be on our side? After all, capital is for the purpose of profit, and if they stand on the opposite side of us, then will we not suffer from the enemy? Compared to other excited traders, Matt is extraordinarily calm. He pondered for a moment, and then spoke of his greatest apprehension.

"I can't guarantee anything about that. However, you must have a unified view on the current Japanese economy, and I believe they will have a similar view. Ladies and gentlemen, Japan's economic development will not go beyond the general law, nor will there be any bushido spirit, and as long as confidence is frustrated, adjustment will be a matter of time. ”

Jim's words were quite tactful, and in order to take care of the face of the Japanese present, he did not say words such as "collapse" and "plummet".

"In addition, since this stage of the task has been completed, everyone will have half a month to recuperate, and everyone can go to Japan for a while. Just keep in touch at all times in case something emergency happens. After Jim finished getting down to business, he gave the traders half a month's vacation to recuperate.

Hearing this, everyone present cheered, they had been in this place full of fishy smells for a whole month, they had already endured enough, and now that they had the opportunity to go out, after a little tidying up, the traders could not wait to disperse.

"Jim, if I'm not mistaken, your government is also involved, tell me the whole Jihua!" After everyone left, Matt, who stayed where he was, said lightly.

"No way, Mr. Bacon. If you really want to know, just ask the person behind you! Now, please get out of the way, I can't wait to enjoy the bacon (bacon)! Jim gave Matt a faint look and said with a blank face.
