Chapter 213: The Devil Trader (Hall Master Plus Change)
Although more than 10 million US dollars can definitely not be said to be a small number, but Shakru is not very satisfied, but he has no other way to do this, because Mexico's family background cannot be compared with Japan or Russia that he sniped before, Mexico's foreign exchange reserves are not much, if you play 30 times leverage like the previous two times, then you will definitely have to be targeted by the Mexican official, which is more than worth the loss, after all, there are many ways to make money. For example, there is a chance to make a lot of money soon, and this time Shakru is still aiming at Japan.
So Shakru called Nanako Matsushima: "Nanako, do you still remember the craftsmanship of your old business?" ”
Nanako Matsushima asked a little confused, "The old business?" Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"It's the work you did when we first met, stock index operation. It's been a few years, have you forgotten it? Shakru reminded.
"How is that possible, as long as you know this kind of ability, it will be hard to forget. Boss, why did you suddenly remember to ask this, it couldn't be that you want to speculate in stock indexes again, right? Nanako Matsushima exclaimed.
Shakru nodded and said, "That's right, I feel like it's a good opportunity for me to come to Japan to make money again, so I want the two of us to join forces again." ”
"But boss, I don't work at the stock exchange anymore." Nanako Matsushima replied with some embarrassment.
Shakru said with a little crying and laughing: "You stupid girl, this time you will replace my job back then, and go to Nomura to be a big customer, but you have to listen to my command for specific operations, understand?" ”
"Oh, then I see, but are you going to go short or long this time, boss?"
"Of course it's still short, the same as last time."
As soon as she heard this, Nanako Matsushima immediately persuaded: "Boss, Japan's economy has been very sluggish in recent years, and it has not recovered from the big stock market crash in the past few years. It's unlikely! On the contrary, you can make a little more money by going long. ”
"Boss, haven't you never seen my skills, aren't you sure enough that I can do such a risky thing? There will be a big event in Japan in January that will have a catastrophic impact on the stock market, so rest assured, this business will definitely not lose money. By the way, you don't want to go to Kansai, especially Kobe, lately, do you hear? Shakru reminded.
"Huh?! No, you're saying something will happen in Kobe in January? Then I have to tell my sister Fujiwara that her family is from Kobe. ”
"Well, tell everything you can, by the way, don't make the leverage too big this time, just five times." Shakru admonished.
Nanako Matsushima asked a little strangely: "Boss, didn't you always have thirty times leverage in the past, why is it five times this time?" ”
Shakru explained: "This time is different from the last stock market crash. The last stock market crash was operated by a driving force behind it, so I followed the trend and no one came to pay attention to my little fish, but this time it was different, it was purely a stock market fluctuation caused by natural disasters, so there should be no speculation, if I did 30 times leverage alone at this time, it would be too eye-catching. Although it is important to make money, safety is more important, so let's keep it small. ”
"Boss, I understand, I'll do as you tell me."
Shakru was still very relieved about Nanako Matsushima's ability to do things, but to his surprise, Nanako Matsushima called the next day, and said in an extremely anxious tone: "Boss, are you really sure to go short?" But now the list on the market is long, especially the Bank of Bahrain is doing a 30x leverage Nikkei rise, is it too dangerous for us to short at this time? ”
Shakru thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Bank of Bahrain?" Did the Singapore branch in Bahrain do it? ”
"yes, yes, boss, you know about it?"
Shakru snorted coldly: "If I wasn't busy speculating on the Nikkei this time, I would really want to set up a Bahraini stock." You see, after this accident in Kobe, the Bank of Bahrain should fail. ”
"Boss, you're not kidding, are you? That's the Bank of Bahrain, even the British royal family is his customer, how can such an old bank fail? Nanako Matsushima's face was full of disbelief.
The collapse of the Bank of Bahrain is a classic case in the entire financial world, especially in the courses of finance majors, and before it happened, not to mention Nanako Matsushima, even the world's top financial experts would not dare to imagine such a thing.
The Bank of Bahrain is one of the oldest banks in the United Kingdom, with a glorious history of 233 years, and it is a special bank that the British royal family has opened an account, and there are as many as five hereditary titles alone, which can also be regarded as a world record.
The immediate cause of the Bank of Bahrain's bankruptcy was that Nick Lisson, a futures manager at Singapore's Bahrain company, misjudged the direction of the Japanese stock market. In January 1995, Reeson was bullish on the Japanese stock market and bought a large number of futures contracts in Tokyo and Osaka, hoping to make large profits when the Nikkei index rose. The Sakajin earthquake in Japan hit the rebound momentum of the Japanese stock market, and the stock price continued to fall. In the end, the Bank of Bahrain lost as much as $1.4 billion, while its own assets were only a few hundred million dollars, and the huge losses could not be compensated, and this once glorious financial edifice collapsed.
On 26 February 1995, the Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom, announced that the Bank of Bahrain would not continue to engage in trading activities and would apply for asset liquidation. Ten days later, the 233-year-old bank was acquired by ING for a symbolic price of £1. This means the complete collapse of the Bank of Bahrain. But ING continues to operate under the name "Bank of Bahrain".
Because Shakru knew about this, he didn't care about what Nanako Matsushima was worried about, and he felt sorry for Nicolisson's last crazy result that buried the entire bank.
PS: The process of the collapse of the Bank of Bahrain is actually quite representative, but the detailed process is too long, so I will post it in the work, so I will not account for the number of words in the text. In addition, you can watch the movie "The Devil Trader" (also known as "The Devil Salesman") starring Ewan McGregor, which is about this! (To be continued.) )
