Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"You mean we give up attacking the Thai baht for the time being and start with the Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollar?" Julian Robertson asked with a frown.

"Yes, let's test their reaction first and then make the next step!" Zhukenmiller nodded and said.

"Stanley, I have to remind you that during the Japanese stock market crash a few years ago, Zongheng Investment and Qianhai Asset Management were the main short sellers. Even if you brought the Nikkei Index back to 5000 points, they would not be able to come in to protect the market and become Our opponent, you are blinded by hatred!" Robertson said disdainfully.

"Then how do you explain why they only gave up on Hong Kong and the Japanese financial market?" Zhukenmiller continued to get into trouble. This is a person who will never look back until he hits the wall.

"This is very simple. Japan is too big and has sufficient foreign exchange reserves, so it is difficult to be defeated in one fell swoop. Hong Kong is backed by the mainland government, which is even more difficult to crack. In comparison, the Bangkok stock index and the Thai baht are easier to be defeated. Defeat, otherwise we would not have chosen to launch from the Thai baht!" Robertson explained patiently.

"No... no, we chose the Thai baht because it is easier to create panic, and the benefits that can be obtained by defeating the entire Southeast Asian financial system may not be worth the sum of Japan and Hong Kong..." Zhu Kemiller shook his head. said.

Julian Robertson fell into deep thought. He certainly knew that once the Japanese yen was defeated, the benefits that could be brought could not be compared with the Thai baht.

"We will start with the Nikkei stock index futures and the Hang Seng Index futures. This coincides with the attack on the Southeast Asian financial market by Qianhai Asset Management-affiliated companies. It can save us a lot of energy. It is hard to say who will be the bearer of the sedan chair. Once the momentum is established, even if Qianhai Asset Management betrays the situation at a critical moment like the last US stock market crisis, it will not help..." Zhukenmiller said confidently.

"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, report it to Mr. George Soros quickly. Don't be indecisive and miss the opportunity!" Robertson said still brooding.

January 1997, 1, Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The stock market crash seven years ago brought the Japanese stock market back to before liberation overnight. After several years of low consolidation, the Nikkei Index slowly climbed to above 20000 points.

"Boom boom boom"...

After three dull bells, the morning market opened.

During the call auction stage, large sell orders appeared on the market, and a feeling of panic enveloped investors.

"What happened?"

"It is said that the Bank of Japan is going to raise interest rates again and shrink liquidity..."

"Alas! The stock market finally showed signs of rising, and now it's all over again..."

"These bastards are eating people but not spitting out their bones. U.S. stocks are rising every day, and no one has seen interest rates raised. No, I'm going to run away from the stocks and buy U.S. bonds and foreign funds!"

The hall is in chaos. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.The collapse of the stock market seven years ago is still before our eyes. If it were to be cut in half again, I'm afraid there would be no chance to turn around.

What shocked investors was that in the last five minutes of the call auction, all the large selling orders that appeared on the market were suddenly withdrawn and disappeared without a trace, as if these short orders had never appeared.

"No, the dealer will pull out the ladder..."

"Damn it, this is shock accumulation, withdraw the sell order quickly..."

How could it be too late to cancel the order now?After investors screamed in exclamation, the market reversed, and large buying orders appeared on every Nikkei index component stock, sweeping away the selling orders!

The Nikkei Index opened higher and moved higher, rising by more than 120 points in an instant...

"It is obvious that large funds have entered the market. With the blessing of Amaterasu, it seems that the Japanese stock market, which has been dormant for seven years, can be saved..."

"I hope this time I can return to the highest point at the end of 89 and regain the lost losses..."

"Who said that the sharp drop in the Southeast Asian stock market would cause a chain reaction in the Japanese stock market? Come forward and I promise not to beat him to death!"

"That's right, when did the Nikkei Index become in line with Southeast Asian stock markets? Our benchmarks are Dow Jones and Nasdaq! All cats and dogs can be compared with the Japanese stock market..."

"You must seize the chips in your hands at critical times and don't panic. As the world's second largest economy, how can the stock market keep falling?"

………………

"Tony, first sell a few Nikkei 012 short orders to test the market's reaction!" Julian Robertson ordered.

Three 100-lot Nikkei forward short orders were swallowed up by the market as soon as they were sold.

Robertson nodded with satisfaction: "Continue to raise the constituent stocks!"

The market rose again by more than 100 points thanks to Tiger Fund's efforts at all costs. Investors' emotions were obviously aroused, and the hall of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was filled with joyful noises...

"Tony, continue to divide the whole into parts, sell the Nikkei 012 long-term futures contract, and control the rhythm!" Robertson continued to issue instructions.

Tony nodded in agreement and left, but ten minutes later, he hurriedly opened the door and walked in to report: "Your Excellency, President, someone is disrupting the situation and competing with us for the Nikkei Index futures forward contract chips..."

"Are big funds coming in?" Robertson asked with a frown.

"It's not clear yet, but there are a lot of suspicious short orders. I suspect that they are also large funds that have been broken into parts like us. Could it be from Quantum Company?"

"It won't be from Quantum Company. I have an agreement with Zhu Kenmiller. Quantum Fund is temporarily responsible for the Xiangjiang market. Tony, the fundraising is suspended. You can find our people to check to see if they are following the trend of retail investors or if there is really something wrong." Big money comes in!" Robertson ordered after pondering for a moment.

Soon, insider information came from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Singapore Futures Exchange...

"Farke! Why are they again? These lingering bastards!" Robertson cursed viciously.

"Your Excellency, President, what should we do now? Compete with them for chips?" Tony asked for instructions.

After Robertson pondered for a moment, he waved his hands and said: "No! We haven't completed building a position yet. Now rushing to raise funds will reveal our operational intentions in advance. If we endure it a little longer, we will send them a vague board language. As long as the other party does not go too far, we will live in harmony. It’s okay!”

………………

"Mr. Lin, the other party issued a message on the market, hoping to share with us the Nikkei stock index 012 long contracts that appeared on the market. How should we respond?" Nicole asked.

Lin Xi smiled and said: "Okay, promise them, it will be limited to half a month for the time being..."

"Mr. Lin, why is it limited to half a month? Shouldn't we be allies of the same camp? We should cooperate for a long time?" Nicole asked with some confusion.

Lin Xi chuckled and said: "We and Tiger Fund are not allies. We have just chosen the same operating direction temporarily. If the situation reverses, we may become opponents at any time! Give him a tentative period of fifteen days to increase his investment. Efforts to boost the Nikkei index will induce bullish..."
