Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 308

"I understand your concerns very much. Because of the special situation, the club is also working overtime today, so please rest assured that we will always be there..."

"Please believe in the ability of Onodera Wealth, I can answer you with certainty that the housewife wealth management fund has not suffered losses in this incident..."

"Don't worry, Director Reiko Shiqiao has already called to ask, and after the stock market is closed tomorrow, Onodera Fortune will hold a special press conference. I can definitely reply to you, the housewife wealth management fund has not suffered any losses..."

"..."

It was 10:[-] in Tokyo night, and the stock market opened in New York.

As soon as the market opened, the displayed Dow Jones index was actually 67 points lower than when it closed last Friday.The red numbers almost covered the entire screen, and there were very few green numbers in the transition from page to page.

This point is the opposite of the color in Tao Zhiming's memory, but he looks very festive.

Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada looked at the stock market trends synchronized on the Bloomberg machine, and they all opened their mouths involuntarily.

"It fell by nearly 3% at the beginning of the market...Master Chairman?" They were just a little dazed, and their faces turned red with fanaticism and looked at Tao Zhiming.

"Wait!" Tao Zhiming folded his arms, his tone sonorous.

"3%!" Kawasaki Ichiro asked in surprise, "Don't you hurry to buy now? Sell orders are soaring now..."

"Wait!" Tao Zhiming said concisely.

Kawasaki Ichiro and Satian Nick are fidgeting.This time, Onodera Fortune is short selling.Today, they have to buy the corresponding stocks and return them to complete the transaction.

After falling by more than 10% last week, it has fallen by 3% today, and I have made a lot of money.

But Tao Zhiming's eyes were sharp, and he never issued an order.

Now the stock market is all about selling stocks to stop losses, and the number of selling orders has increased sharply.

It was almost an hour after the opening of the market, and there were no buyers for more than 90 blue chip stocks.The stampede has already appeared. Of the 30 index stocks in the Dow Jones Index, these stocks have always been the best investment targets, but there are still 11 stocks that have not yet generated transactions.

All are for sale and no one is buying.

"It has fallen below 2000 points..." Kawasaki Ichiro swallowed, his pupils constricted, "It's more than 10%... I've never seen such a scene..."

He turned his head and glanced, the chairman was still as motionless as a mountain.

Until Tao Zhiming's mobile phone rang, the two immediately became nervous: Is the chairman waiting for some news?Ready to get started?

Nick Satian understood the call.

On the phone, Hector's voice was trembling: "It's crazy...It's crazy, I heard that the transaction orders that are too late to process are close to 1 million shares..."

"Have you sold it yet?"

"After waiting for an hour and a half, I finally sold it... I lost 9.6%. Isn't this the bottom? You said that you bought the bottom..."

Tao Zhiming sighed and said, "It feels like it's far from over. Get yourself a cup of coffee first and calm down. I'm going to wait until the last hour."

"Did you go crazy in the last hour?" Hector exclaimed, "Now the trading system has no time to process the order, you... wait, are you also planning to buy the bottom?"

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "The drop in the morning is so big, there will definitely be news at noon. Contact me as soon as possible, remember!"

When he hung up the phone, Nick Satian couldn't help asking, "The last hour?"

"Yes, the last hour. General Electric, Telephone & Telegraph, Coca-Cola, Westinghouse, American Express, Boeing... how much have they fallen?"

"It's more than 20%..." Kawasaki Ichiro's voice trembled, "Master Chairman, enough is enough... I have fallen enough..."

"Wait!" The answer to them was still a sonorous word.

On Xiangdao in the distance, both Li Jiacheng and Lu Yan were staring at the US stock market from different places, their faces pale.

In just one or two hours, the U.S. stock index even fell more than the Hong Kong Island stock index in a whole day.

However, in the global financial market, which one can have greater influence than the United States?

"...This is real despair." Li Jiacheng murmured, "The market will open tomorrow... No, we can't open it tomorrow!"

He seems to have seen many stockholders finally go to the rooftops in despair after seeing that the US stock market was also defeated.

The Hong Kong Island stock market took the lead in plummeting, and after passing through the United States in a circle, it finally brewed into an unprecedented tsunami.Tomorrow, it will engulf this place again.And the valuations of these big companies that bear the brunt of the Xiangdao stock market will all be cut in half, and then cut in half...

"How could the market be closed! In that case, does Xiangdao still have credit as a financial center?"

"The market is closed, what do you think will happen tomorrow?" Li Jiacheng said in a deep voice, "There are still more than 3000 points, maybe tomorrow it will drop to 2000 points, or even 1000 points in the end! You know how big a crisis this will cause ?"

"How is 1000 points possible... What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Brother Zhaofu, the meeting must be held. The time is running out, and the stock market will reopen in only a few hours. The Stock Exchange must make a decision!"

"Wait, I'll answer the phone first..."

Li Jiacheng put the phone aside and frowned.

Funding is also needed to rescue the market. Judging from the current situation, it is not enough to just lower interest rates or provide some funds from Hong Kong Island Bank and Standard Chartered Bank... I don’t know how the mainland is reacting now.After all, Xiangdao has already confirmed that he will return, will they care about this matter?

After a while, a voice came from the phone: "Li Sheng?"

"I'm here!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Zhaofu, chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, said in a heavy voice: "A friend from the United States called and said that the chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission made a speech, saying that if necessary, he will discuss the temporary closure of the stock exchange. trade……"

"Even the U.S. has to consider temporarily closing the market, brother Zhaofu, we can't wait any longer!"

"This is a big matter, I'll call a meeting of all the committee members right now!"

The news from the United States instantly caused even greater panic.

Once the exchange is closed, if the traders have no time to throw away the stocks in their hands, the stocks in their hands are likely to be worthless in the end, and tens of thousands of yuan will be reduced to ashes.

Under the influence of such a decline, how many companies will cause various problems due to the evaporation of market value, and eventually lead to bankruptcy?

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, and there were only two hours left before the rest of the city.

In the next hour, the decline accelerated, and the Dow Jones index fell by more than 200 points again. This hour, it fell by more than 10% compared to the opening...

"Bounced! Bounced!" Kawasaki Ichiro's heart rose to his throat, his eyes were bloodshot, and he asked dryly, "Master Chairman..."

"Wait!" Tao Zhiming still used the word.

This wave of rebound was extremely fierce.In just ten minutes, the index rose by nearly 300 points.

Tao Zhiming was even more relieved, which showed that the general panic was not enough to be influenced by him.

He wasn't that greedy either. Before that, he bought the bottom and speculated in a wave of ultra-short-term.What if there are too many transactions and it is too late to deal with them?

Just get to the point.

Looking at the numbers that have risen sharply in a short period of time, Kawasaki Ichiro and Satian Nick glanced at each other: "Has anyone started to protect the market? The funds of those big companies, or the official of the United States?"

"I can't protect you!" Tao Zhiming finally said, "Get ready!"

Kawasaki Ichiro and Satian Nick immediately entered the state. At this moment, they are dominated by the hormones that are extremely secreted in their bodies.

Sure enough, it was 3 p.m. US time, and it was already [-] a.m. in Tokyo. The index, which had been struggling for several minutes, froze at the peak of the rebound and turned around again.

Straight down!

With all the sales orders, Onodera Fortune started to sweep the goods.

Tao Zhiming called Hector: "Hurry up!"

The sky has already faintly shimmered. This is Tokyo at four o'clock in the morning.

When it was close to five o'clock in the morning, Onodera Wealth had collected enough stocks that needed to be returned by the short-selling exchange.In addition, at this bottom, many floating stocks of large companies were purchased.

On this day, the number of transactions in the U.S. stock market reached six times the usual level, and among them, nearly one-third of the sell orders were either unaccepted or too late to process.

The stock index fell by 22.6%, but large companies, as the most important trading targets, fell much more, basically around 30%.

During this day, 5000 billion yuan in the U.S. stock market evaporated, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the GDP of the U.S. at this time, and nearly twice the GDP of Xiaguo last year.

Of the more than 1600 stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange that day, only 52 did not fall, while nearly 1200 stocks fell to their lowest point in a year.

Before Tao Zhiming appeared, Bill Gates, the youngest billionaire in the world, lost more than 39 billion yuan a day.

At this moment, part of the income was announced, Kawasaki Ichiro and Satian Nick looked at Tao Zhiming with expressions of awe in their eyes.

Because what he earned from short selling in the U.S. stock market is almost close to what Bill Gates lost.

"It's not over yet." Tao Zhiming smiled and patted their shoulders, "Before the opening of the Neon Stock Market and the Xiangdao Stock Market, there is still some time, so take a nap first."

Yes, it's not over yet.I know they were shocked by the profits made by this wave of short selling, but the neon stock market is the big show today, and Xiangdao, as long as the market is closed, and the trading resumes after the market opens, how can the current 3300 points be held? ?Xiangdao's largest single-day drop in this wave has not yet come.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky had already begun to light up.

Runa Onodera walked to his side, her eyes were frighteningly bright: "Would you like... to take a break too?"

Tao Zhiming looked at her and laughed: "Then go and rest for a while."

All that is needed now is just an emotional outlet.

But this time, Tao Zhiming no longer protects anything: "After this time, Xiaoye Temple's wealth can be rested and consolidated for two years. So..."

Onodera Runai's eyes became brighter, and she greeted her with forgetfulness.

Two years is just enough time... to give birth to a child!

Chapter 397: Ten Billion Yuan Iron Fist

Time went back to earlier, in the middle of the night of this day, the big shots in Tokyo were not in the mood to care about the plummeting US stock market on the other side of the ocean.

For Nihong, there is a more important and top-level event at this moment. Who will take over as the prime minister is about to make a decision.

During the day, the neon stock market was slightly affected by Xiangdao, falling only a little over 2%.

This is nothing, it can even be said to be a very normal thing, after all, anyone with a heart should know that a result is about to come out soon.

"Hashimoto-san, Prime Minister, haven't you made a decision yet?" Minister of the Ministry of Finance Kiji Miyazawa invited Hashimoto Taro to a banquet and poured wine for the acting director-general.

Hashimoto Taro looked at him quietly, and then said frankly: "Miyazawa-san, tonight, a decision must be made. At this moment, you are with me, don't you understand in your heart?"

Miyazawa Kiji paused with his hand holding the jug, then sighed and said, "I lost my composure, Hashimoto-san was right..."

"Since the year before last, Miyamoto-san has contributed to the rapid growth of the neon economy under the pressure of the appreciation of the neon yen. Miyamoto-san is now the three most important people in the party, and there will be opportunities .”

"...68 years old, Hashimoto-san." Miyazawa Kiji held up his cup and looked at him with envy in his eyes, "Hashimoto-san is just 50 years old, you are the one who still has unlimited opportunities .”

Hashimoto Taro smiled modestly: "I believe that there will be a call soon. Miyamoto-san, no matter what the result is, in short, Miyamoto-san's contribution will not be ignored!"

Miyazawa Kiji forced a smile, if he was not chosen, of course he would still have a prominent position reserved for him.No matter which one of the other two is, it is necessary to form a stable cabinet.

However, thinking this way in his heart, after all, he still expected the secretary to come over suddenly and tell himself that the prime minister invited him to meet.

This time, wait until nearly one o'clock in the morning.

The secretary who came in saluted, and then said: "Master Takegami, please, please come together..."

Miyazawa Kiji's eyes suddenly darkened, and then he forced a smile: "Master Takegami? Hashimoto-san... go and listen to Takegami-san's opinion."

It seems that the overall situation has been settled. After all, the Prime Minister forgave Takegami's "betrayal" and stood by his side.

In a very complicated mood, Miyazawa Kiji participated in the division of positions in the new cabinet, but then returned to the Ministry of Finance again.

He is still the minister of the Ministry of Finance, although he also has the title of deputy prime minister.

Been sitting in this position for more than a year...

A student from the Faculty of Law at Dongdae University, and the only expert in economics and English in the neon political circles, why did an elite like myself lose to that local turtle who was born as a county councilor?

Miyazawa Kiji has been sitting on the sofa, leaning weakly, smoking a cigarette from time to time.

It was already dawn outside the window, and the room was filled with smoke.

There was a knock on the door: "Master Miyamoto, I heard that you are inside? I have something extremely important to report!"

"Fujita-kun? Come in..." Kiji Miyazawa recognized that it was the director of the Securities Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, Fujita Airo.

After the door was pushed open, Fujita Airo was stunned, and then he could only hold his breath and quickly walked in front of him, and said anxiously: "Master Miyamoto, last night, the stock market in the United States crashed! Inside, the Dow Jones Index fell by 22.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell by 11.35%! I am worried that the neon stock market, which is about to open, is also facing an unprecedented crisis. Miyamoto-sama, some countermeasures are needed. !"

Kiji Miyamoto stopped his words in his ears, but felt even more frustrated.

How much has the Neon stock market gone up since he became Minister of Finance?Countless citizens enjoyed the wealth he brought, but at this moment, it was others who won.

For a while, he felt very boring, so he just replied absent-mindedly and weakly: "Well, I see..."

After speaking, he picked up a cigarette again and lit it.

Fujita Airo was stunned, Miyamoto-sama seemed to be in a bad mood.

He was holding back all the words in his stomach, and the smoke in the room seemed to exude a depressing atmosphere.

Fujita Airo felt that if he continued to say something, he might usher in a sudden rage.
