Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 842: Fall! Fall! Fall!

What are you most afraid of when a large group of people are going downstairs?

Are they afraid that the people below will stop and watch, or are they afraid that the people upstairs will push each other?

Japanese stocks opened on Wednesday, April 4.

Hong Kong Island Capital, led by Datang Investment, began to sell off a large number of Japanese company stocks purchased in the previous two days, prompting European Magnesium Capital, which wanted to continue to reduce its holdings, to follow up urgently.

But here comes the problem!

The European Magnesium funds that left the market yesterday morning did not take over the shares at the planned price this morning. Instead, they waited and watched, thinking of waiting for the stock price to go lower and then pull it up to make a profit.

According to the plan secretly agreed upon by various European Magnesium Capitals, they sold off in the morning to suppress the share price of Rijima, bought back in the afternoon to push up the share price, continued to suppress the price the next morning, and continued to buy low in the afternoon. This is the same as Heping Investment and Stepmother Investment often do, which is to make a profit by transferring the difference from one hand to the other.

After the European and American funds that had already left the market stopped and watched, those European and American funds that had not left the market, as well as the Japanese people who thought they understood the recent buy-low-and-sell strategy of Japanese stocks, joined the selling army.

The key point is that their behavior of continuously lowering prices and selling did not last long before it caused market panic, leading to more people and institutions joining the selling sequence.

At the same time, various put options and stock index futures also moved in a timely manner, making various funds think that Japanese stocks were about to hit the limit down again!

This is indeed the case. At 11:3 Eastern Time, Japanese stocks once again triggered the 20% drop circuit breaker suspension mechanism, leaving no opportunity for those waiting and watching funds to take over!

It has only been 4 days since the last full circuit breaker suspension.

After the incident, Japanese people and European Magnesium Capital who did not know the truth began to question where the Japanese Ministry of Finance's rescue funds were.

Why didn’t anyone come in to rescue the market this morning?

Just when the public was exposing the Ministry of Finance's past and denouncing them for raising interest rates five times in a short period of time, causing the stock and property markets to plummet and leaving countless people and companies heavily in debt.

Most of the staff of the Ministry of Finance appeared on TV, bowed 90 degrees to apologize, and without any explanation, directly announced their resignation.

Immediately afterwards, the new minister and vice minister of the Ministry of Finance were rapidly promoted to positions, and a 500 trillion yen rescue plan was announced: it will be invested in the Japanese stock and property markets in batches and in a planned manner in the future.

In addition, they also announced that they plan to reduce Japanese bank interest rates to a reasonable range in the future to promote the healthy development of Japan's stock and property markets.

What is the difference between such nonsense and previous announcements? One can imagine the reactions of various funds.

As soon as the Ministry of Finance issued the new announcement, the Aso couple appeared outside the gate of Shencheng Peace College to complete Vice Minister Aso's first diplomatic mission.

Unfortunately, when Zhang Heping was busy with weapons and equipment in the underground base, the cell phone signal was completely blocked.

For this reason, the Aso couple could only wait at the door, taking out their mobile phones from time to time and calling Zhang Heping's mobile number.

Due to this delay, the Aso couple discovered some abnormalities.

For example, the minibuses and cars that frequently go in and out of Shenzhen Peace College all pull people in and then drive out in a hurry, as if there are still people to be picked up.

For example, on the large trucks covered with jungle camouflage canvas leaving the school, there were soldiers with guns on guard in front and behind the trucks, as if they were transporting something very confidential.

There were also dozens of remote-controlled airplanes of various shapes and sizes hovering in the sky above the Peace College.

What puzzled them most was that the Peace Hotel was booked out and there were a circle of armed soldiers guarding outside, not bodyguards or security guards from the Umbrella Company.

It was 7: in the evening. After Zhang Heping finished his work at the underground base, he had no time to go home, so he went to the school gate because of the Aso couple's matter.

Many sensitive figures have come to Shenzhen Peace College recently, so Zhang Heping did not recruit the Aso couple into the school this time. Instead, he went out to meet them in person. This standard is very high!

When the Aso couple saw Zhang Heping getting out of the car, they thought that Zhang Heping was here to pick them up personally, so they bowed to Zhang Heping more than 90 degrees as soon as they got in.

Aso Dalang said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, we are honored to have you come out in person!"

"They are conducting experiments inside, so it's not convenient for you to go in." Zhang Heping said straight to the point: "What are you doing here today?"

Aso Dalang quickly bent down and said, "Hey! It's okay, we can talk here!"

Compared to when Zhang Heping spoke to the Aso couple with his back to them in the laboratory and the control center, they felt very honored that Zhang Heping could look at them directly at this time.

Zhang Heping did not respond, but just looked at the two Japanese people in their early 50s calmly.

If you count carefully, Zhang Heping has known them for seven or eight years!

"I came to see Mr. Zhang this time to tell you that if the Heping Group still wants to acquire the Japanese car company, you can pay attention to the announcement of the European Magnesium Car Company recently." Aso Dalang lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Heping's expression with his peripheral vision, and continued:

"The Ministry of Finance is preparing to introduce Euro-Mg funds to rescue related Japanese companies. Among them, Nissan Motor will transfer most of its shares to Euro-Mg Motor so that Nissan cars can be sold into the Euro-Mg market without restrictions."

"If Heping Group can seize the opportunity to acquire those European and American car companies, it will not only indirectly control Japanese and American car companies, but also gain the right to speak in the European and American car market, breaking the ban on electric and hybrid cars jointly declared by many countries in one fell swoop."

This Japanese man is very smart. He obviously came to persuade Zhang Heping not to short Japanese stocks, but now he is trying to divert trouble to someone else and let the Heping Group acquire Euro-Magnesium Auto.

Once Zhang Heping listened to his advice, Heping Group's funds would inevitably shift to the European magnesium market, thereby reducing the risk of Japanese stocks being shorted by Heping Group.

"Got it!" Zhang Heping said casually, "Please ask if Peace Automobile Company is willing to sell the remaining 19.1% of its shares. If not, don't blame me for diluting Peace Automobile Company's shares and forcing privatization."

"Hey!" Aso Dalang said excitedly, "I will definitely help Zhang Sang to make this happen!"

"Then we won't keep you two here. See you next time!" Zhang Heping said this, and after the Japanese couple bowed to him and said goodbye, he got in the car and went home for dinner.

Throughout the entire process, Taro Aso never mentioned to the Peace Group not to short Japanese stocks.

In the end, Zhang Heping did not give a clear answer as to whether he wanted to acquire Euro Magnesium Auto, but he used the final share repurchase method of Heping Auto Company to express his willingness to conduct normal transactions.

"Da Lang, do you think the Peace Group will continue to short Japanese stocks?" Aso Yuriko said uncertainly: "The profit from short selling is so huge, how can the Peace Group be willing to give up!"

Aso Dalang took his wife to the Toyota sedan sent by the Japanese company next to him, and then he slowly said: "Nothing is absolute. At least the Peace Group did not invest a large amount of money to short Japanese stocks today."

Aso Yuriko asked with a hint of worry: "What about your mission?"

Aso Dalang smiled and said, "After the market closes tomorrow, we will determine how to respond based on the funds movement of the Peace Group."

"Okay!" Aso Yuriko nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, come to Shenzhen again and ask Mr. Zhang in person not to short Japanese stocks."

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to help them contact the European Magnesium Automobile Company to acquire it."

……

The sharp drop in Japanese stocks on Wednesday taught the two major stock exchanges in the mainland a profound lesson.

If there were people who wanted to learn from foreign countries' T+0 trading system and 7%, 15%, and 20% circuit breaker suspension mechanisms, they have now disappeared without a trace.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange both want to know what secrets are behind the tragic plunge in the Japanese stock market.

Unfortunately, they couldn't contact Zhang Heping, so they had to settle for the next best thing and find Zhang Nian, who was researching domestic and foreign insurance mechanisms.

At the same time, a delegation of economic experts was sent from the capital, and my eldest niece Chang Wen also came to Shenzhen with her mentor, Professor Lin.

Even though Chang Wen could live in Villa No. 1 of the Zhang family, the time she could see Zhang Heping was limited to breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What's more, Zhang Heping's advice is that no matter how many questions you ask, it is better to go and trade in the Japanese stock market yourself and feel the madness and despair involved!

To this end, Zhang Heping gave Chang Wen a small account with one million magnesium yuan in it, allowing her to experience the atmosphere of Japanese stock trading in person at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange with those economics experts.

Time flies and it is Qingming Festival on April 4th.

Japanese stocks fell for three consecutive days, pushing the Nikkei index down to 3 points, almost breaking the Nikkei index's high of 7000 in 1980.

However, before the Japanese stock market closed on the afternoon of the 5th, the Japanese Ministry of Finance stepped down as the referee.

It first announced a 2.5% interest rate cut, then announced that the first batch of 10 trillion yen would enter the Japanese stock market to rescue the market, and that various European magnesium capitals would invest in Japanese companies to explore overseas markets.

In recent days, in order to suppress the share prices of Japanese companies and complete predatory acquisitions, European Magnesium Capital followed the Hong Kong funds to short Japanese stocks, catching the Japanese government off guard.

Finally, under the threat of the Japanese government to suspend the stock market indefinitely, stop all foreign exchange transactions, and lend at 0 interest rates, most of the European Magnesium Capital chose to stop.

The main reason is that after the Japanese government dealt a heavy blow to Euro-Magnesium Capital, it then threw out a sweet treat for the Japanese stock market to rebound!

However, although Japanese stocks rebounded on the afternoon of the 5th, only a small number of Japanese companies with good performance rose into the red, while most other Japanese stocks were green.

Therefore, Japanese stocks have fallen sharply in the past three days!

What made Zhang Heping a little helpless was that the small account with a million magnesium yuan that he gave to Chang Wen actually lost 50 magnesium yuan in the past two days in such a good falling market!

When Chang Wen talked about the balance in the account, she felt full of guilt. After all, it was 50 magnesium yuan!

Her parents had to go without food or drink for 500 years, and their combined salary would only be enough to make this much money.

However, what Zhang Heping and Zhang Nian were concerned about was not how much money they lost, but how those economic experts lost half of their money without adding leverage.

You know, since Chang Wen and her team controlled that small account, the largest drop in individual stocks in the Japanese stock market has only been 40%.

"Someone sold a stock that had fallen sharply, and then bought a Japanese stock that had rebounded well." Chang Wen explained embarrassedly: "As a result, as soon as he bought it, the stock fell again."

Well, this is a typical method of main force withdrawing funds. Fund managers of Peace Group also often make profits in this way.

"Third uncle, my teacher said that they will find a way to return the lost money to you in the future." When Chang Wen said this, guilt appeared on her face again.

Not only did she feel guilty towards Zhang Heping, but she also felt sorry for those old professors. If she hadn't brought the account over, this wouldn't have happened.

"That's enough! It's just a small amount of money, why should I pay it back!" Zhang Heping said indifferently: "I just gave it to you to practice."

Chen Shuting smiled and comforted him, "Xiao Wen may not know that your uncle gave each of his fund managers tens of millions of dollars to practice with."

"When they lost a lot in the stock market, they even lost hundreds of millions of dollars a day, but your uncle still didn't ask those fund managers to pay him back."

"According to your uncle, losing money is also a kind of experience. At worst, you can earn it back later."

"Don't worry, cousin!" Zhang Nian said with a smile, "If my dad really wants to ask you for compensation, I'll help you pay it first, and you can work for me to pay off the debt in the future, hehe!"

"Honey, the fund managers in the group have not shorted Japanese stocks these days, and the overall return is only 3%." Chen Shuting looked at Zhang Heping who was eating big mouthfuls of food and frowned, "Are we really not shorting Japanese stocks anymore?"

The reason why Chen Shuting had this question was because she had previously shorted Japanese stocks and brought back tens of billions of magnesium dollars in profits to the group in less than a month, which was faster than robbing a bank.
