Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 924 Godlike Man
Behind a shutter on the second floor of the bank, Li Jiankun looked through the gap at the short young man in the corner of the lobby on the first floor.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Zhenyi is only about 1.5 meters tall.

From his dejected look, Li Jiankun already understood what was going on, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up:
"Tell him I'm not here and ask him to come back another day."

Old Sun beside him nodded: "Okay."

Li Jiankun motioned for him to come closer.

After Old Sun leaned over to listen, Li Jiankun whispered in his ear for a while.

As Old Sun listened, he felt more and more that something was wrong. He didn't understand why the big boss valued this guy so much and went to great lengths to recruit him.

Let's be reasonable. With the identity, wealth and status of a big boss, is it difficult to recruit talents?

It is a fierce competition to keep countless high-level talents.

What is this little dwarf?
But, we dare not ask...

Old Sun thought about the sharp drop of the US dollar today, shook his head slightly, and threw all these nonsense out.

He thought that this boy must have some outstanding qualities.

Yes, definitely!
Not long after, Old Sun went downstairs and met Sun Zhenyi.

When he heard that the person was not here, Sun Zhenyi said, "Oh," and showed a surprised expression: "Today he is at the stock exchange, right?"

Even though he was there, it was normal not to meet him.

A capital tycoon like him would definitely not stay in the trading hall like him.

Old Sun waved his hand: "No, no, I went to visit Mount Fuji."

Sun Zhenyi opened his eyes wide in shock.

Today is an important day for him, and for that person as well. The difference is that he lost a lot of money, while that person made a fortune.

On a day like this, why not visit Mount Fuji?

Even if you go there early in the morning, you will probably rush back after hearing the news after the stock market opens.

Old Sun saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Do you think this short-selling of the US dollar is a big deal for our boss?
"No, no, it's just child's play.

"First of all, he is sure that he will succeed in short selling. So is it necessary to keep an eye on it?

"Secondly, a mere 500 million US dollars is only a fraction of our boss's investment in the stock market this time."

Just...

The odds and ends...

Sun Zhenyi's eyes opened wide, his lips moved, and he was speechless for a long time.

Old Sun's eyes were filled with awe, with little stars twinkling in them. If he was pretending, he should be awarded an Oscar:

"Don't be fooled by our boss, who may seem a little unremarkable at first glance. After all, he is young and rich enough to rival a country. But when he gets down to business, he is not like that. He is a very serious and hardworking person. You have never seen such a person before."

He glanced at Sun Zhenyi:
"You kid, it's rare that our boss has shown some love for you, but you don't know how to seize the opportunity...

"Okay, let's go back first and come back another day."

Sun Zhenyi bowed and apologized, then asked: "Then when should I come?"

Old Sun: “I don’t know.”

Sun Zhenyi: “?”

Old Sun gave him a look and said, "What's the matter? Can you meet our boss whenever you want? I met him that day because he happened to be discussing something with me. You're lucky."

Sun Zhenyi smiled awkwardly and bent over: "Yes, yes, I will come a few more times and try my luck."

"Fortunately, you have some friendship with our boss. If he were here, he would probably meet you."

After saying this, Old Sun turned around and left without saying anything more.

Sun Zhenyi was in a daze for a long time in the trading hall that was about to close, with mixed feelings...

……

……

The continued plunge of the US dollar has not only caused great turmoil in Japan, but the entire world seems to have experienced a landslide and tsunami.

The economy is the top priority.

As the only universal currency in the world, a sudden and drastic devaluation without any reason would definitely not work.

The financial markets need an explanation, and the whole world needs an explanation.

After the relevant arrangements were completed, the five countries jointly intervened in the foreign exchange market, and induced international hot money to sell off the US dollar in a big way, and the general trend was set, someone finally stood up and spoke.

This morning, U.S. Treasury Secretary Baker and U.S. Institute for International Economics Director Friedrich Bergsten were interviewed by reporters.

Baker announced parts of the Plaza Accord to the world.

His original words were: “…Thanks to the people of the world for their trust in the U.S. dollar, but in fact, as the only universal currency in the world, the U.S. dollar is seriously overvalued, which has brought a series of very bad effects to us.

“For example, high-quality American goods lack export competitiveness, and the trade deficit is widening year by year.

“For example, the government budget deficit is rising year by year, and so on.

“We have to make some changes.

“We will reasonably adjust the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major currencies and conduct an orderly depreciation.

"This move will not only benefit the American people and bring more business opportunities and jobs, but it will also be a great thing for many other countries - your money will be more valuable..."

Bergsten also made several verbal interventions while speaking into the microphone.

For example, he said:

"Oh no, no, beautiful reporter, this is not a short-term behavior. I can't tell you specifically how much the dollar will eventually depreciate. It depends on the free adjustment of the market. Even God can't predict it. I can only tell you: this is just the beginning..."

The whole world was in an uproar.

Affected by this, on the one hand, the selling of US dollars in the international financial market became more and more crazy, and the value of the US dollar plummeted.

On the other hand, the major currencies mentioned by Baker, such as the Japanese yen, have skyrocketed.

In the Japanese financial market, the new wealth that flowed in that day reached an all-time high, all of which were long transactions.

Baker's statement that "the money of many countries will become more valuable" may not necessarily mean many countries, but it at least includes Japan.

The Japanese people were enthusiastic and smelled the scent of getting rich quickly.

……

……

Ah!
Ho!
The president's office of Seibu Group seemed to have turned into a solid space. Endless regret blended into it, making the air seem as sticky as paste.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi sat behind the mahogany table, his face ashen, more terrifying than that of a dead person.

The depression in his heart could not be vented no matter what, so he made intermittent low and strange sounds from his mouth.

He has been like this since he received news of the Plaza Accord.

His office also became a place where strangers... no, no one dared to approach.

Not to mention Yoshiaki Tsutsumi himself, even the most ordinary small employee of the Seibu Group now understands what a stupid decision their group and their president made a few days ago.

It's simply...it can be described as a spendthrift.

The US dollar has depreciated sharply against major currencies and the Japanese yen has skyrocketed, which will bring about a series of chain reactions.

It can be said that everything will rise in price as a result of Japan's benzene.

And the more expensive something is, the more it will appreciate. As people become richer and richer, it is bound to become a popular investment.

What is the most valuable thing in Japan?

For an island country, the answer is self-evident.

Anyone who knows a little about finance can tell that the stock market and real estate market will become the biggest treasure trove in the future.

You know, the real estate company under the Seibu Group, after the efforts and accumulation of two generations of the Tsutsumi family, once owned the most commercial land in Japan.

However, the group sold it and the president cashed it in.

Just a few days ago...

This business is really a loss for my grandma.

It is hard to imagine how popular those plots of land will soon be in the capital market and to what extent their value will increase.

A technician from Seibu Group quietly calculated:
If the U.S. dollar depreciates by 50 percent against the Japanese yen, that means the Japanese yen appreciates by one-fold against the U.S. dollar.

Then the land price itself will double, and coupled with the overflow of social wealth, it will inevitably be invested heavily in the real estate market...

If Seibu Real Estate was still in the hands of their president.

The president may become the richest man in the world...

It must be said that this technician has the real stuff.

In the past, just two years after the Plaza Accord was signed, the Japanese yen doubled against the US dollar.

It is now 1985, and two years later it will be 1987. In that year, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi became the richest man in the world.

As a businessman, he missed out on huge wealth and lost the title of the world's richest man.

How painful it is.

Only Yoshiaki Tsutsumi himself knows the answer clearly.

puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's mouth and spilled onto the mahogany table, presenting a dark red color, as if it had been poisoned.

“This is not a coincidence.

"He knows, he must know!"

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi did not even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be in a trance and kept muttering to himself.

In addition to regret, he felt more angry.

However, the more he thought about it, the more his anger faded.

That Li Jiankun is already richer than him.

Now...not to mention.

Most importantly, the other party possessed a background and resources that he could not even imagine. It was so shocking that they could even foresee such a secretive action as the Plaza Accord in advance.

What's the point of being angry at a person like this?

A trace of sadness appeared on Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's face.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

He can't beat the opponent at all...

A sense of dejection emerged from Yoshiaki Tsutsumi again.

Meeting Li Jiankun was the greatest misfortune in his life.

……

……

That night.

In a large flat in Ginza.

Although everyone was busy all day, no one looked tired. Some were just excited and worshipful.

Wu Yingxiong held a copy of the Asahi Shimbun in his hand, his face flushed as he said:
"Brother Kun, you are right about everything!"

Zhang Gui jokingly asked, "Boss, can you tell fortunes?"

Ran Zi glared at him and said, "If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. This is an insult to the boss. The boss obviously used his in-depth understanding and analysis of many factors such as the world situation and economic trends beyond the imagination of ordinary people to make a reasonable prediction."

She added:

"However, in ancient times, or in some feudal and backward areas today, gods were often created in this way - the 'gods' made accurate predictions, and the natives only saw the results, unable to understand the process, and could only attribute it to miracles."

Zhang Gui: "You called me a native?"

Ran Zi: “Looks like it.”

Zhang Gui: “…”

This is just an everyday quarrel and does not hurt anyone's feelings.

In fact, although Ran Zi said this about Zhang Gui, in her heart, Li Jiankun was almost a god.

She thought, this is not someone who is involved in world politics, but how can they accurately predict a secret operation involving five countries? Is this something a human can do?

Li Jiankun touched the tip of his nose and said, "Alright, alright, you're exaggerating. I mentioned this to Yingxiong and Xiaowan last time, and they figured out what would happen next. You just didn't think about it that way." Ran Zi didn't hide the admiration in her eyes, and said with a smile, "I never thought of it."

Feng Xiaowan echoed and said with emotion:
"The key is the head. Most people simply cannot think about it, nor dare to think about it."

In the past, she always heard heroes say how great Brother Kun was, but because she had no contact with him, she didn't actually have much feeling about him.

Later, after gradually learning more about Brother Kun's business empire, she was shocked how a person of the same age, who started from scratch, could achieve such a career and glory at such an age.

Now, she found the answer.

This is a business genius that only appears once in a century.

She didn’t know whether Brother Kun had ever taken an IQ test, but the result would definitely be scary.

Compared with Brother Kun, she and Yingxiong, who are so-called geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people, can only be regarded as scum...

No matter how thick-skinned Li Jiankun was, facing their praises left and right, which were praised to the same level as gods...he couldn't resist it:

"Go to sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow."

After saying that, he was the first to run away.

In fact, for others, there is nothing to do tomorrow.

The seeds have been sown and are now in the growing stage; it is not yet harvest time for any of the crops.

But they didn't know - they would never make any opinions based on their own judgment again, and would obey Brother Kun's arrangements in everything. They didn't know when Brother Kun was going to close his positions, and they still focused their attention on their positions and the trends of the financial markets every day.

Li Jiankun didn't mean to keep them busy.

But...it really can't be any more magical.

Don't turn the people around you into believers...

As for Li Jiankun, it's almost time to leave someone out in the cold. The other party has been "reporting" to the bank every day these days. Li Jiankun plans to meet him again tomorrow and continue to tame him.

……

……

When he met Li Jiankun again, Sun Zhenyi found that he was obviously different from the last time they met.

Sun Zhenyi wondered, could this be the "working status" that President Sun mentioned?
The other party was indeed working, sitting on the sofa, looking through an unknown document.

He just looked up once and asked him to sit down.

Sun Zhenyi sat quietly on a single-seat sofa until the other party finished reading all the information in his hand and looked up at him.

Sun Zhenyi bowed again.

Li Jiankun asked with a smile: "How is it? It was right to trust me, right? You made a lot of money, right?"

This guy really has two sides to his personality... Sun Zhenyi blushed:
"I must honestly admit to you two major mistakes."

"Oh?"

Sun Zhenyi bowed and could not get up:
"First, when we first met, I doubted your judgment because...some of your words were too absolute, and because I didn't know you well enough.

"Second, I acted on my own and did not listen to your good advice. I followed the trend of Toshiba and Fujitsu and used the interest-free loan you kindly provided to go long on the US dollar."

Li Jiankun restrained the smile on his face and snorted coldly:
"It seems that I misjudged you. You are such a fool."

Sun Zhenyi lowered his head even lower: "You are right."

Li Jiankun leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and glanced over: "Is there anything else we can talk about?"

This is equivalent to sending someone away.

But Sun Zhenyi couldn't leave:
“I am taking the liberty of coming to see you again for two main reasons:

"First, I sincerely apologize to you. I shouldn't have doubted you and wasted your kindness. Your investment vision is truly unique in my life.

"The second is the 2 billion yen loan—"

Boom boom boom!
Li Jiankun glanced at the door and said, "Come in."

Old Sun pushed the door open happily, and couldn't wait to say something, but when he glanced at Sun Zhenyi, he stopped.

Li Jiankun asked: "What's going on in the stock market?"

Old Sun nodded.

"Everything is laid out, just say it directly."

Old Sun happily reported:
"The stock market just closed this morning. All of the 134 Japanese stocks you were long on are in the green. In just one morning, your profits exceeded 5 billion yen..."

blind!
As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

When Sun Zhenyi heard these words, his head started buzzing.

Long one hundred and thirty-four stocks?
There are less than 300 stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

I bet nearly half of it, and it all went right...

It is worth mentioning that even in the current market conditions, there are still stocks that are in the red.

Some stocks are really a mess and cannot be helped.

This is not the point.

The point is, in half a day, he made 5 billion yen, which is about 20 million US dollars...

How much capital should be invested?
Although Lao Sun was acting, his words were not false. After the oral report, he submitted a detailed data report.

He deliberately passed by Sun Zhenyi, and before he reached Li Jiankun, he had already held the information sheet with both hands.

How could Sun Zhenyi resist looking? After all, the other party said that the deal had already been arranged and completed.

When I glanced at the column "Total Investment" at the top of the first page of information, I was so scared that I shuddered all over.

Four billion.

US dollars!

Sun Zhenyi swallowed hard. No wonder he could earn so much in just one morning. If the capital was this high... then it was reasonable.

Four billion US dollars.

He now knows that Mr. Li opposite him can produce it.

Sun Zhenyi has been very busy these days. Apart from "reporting" here once a day, he spends the rest of his time visiting important figures such as Kitahara Sosuke and Yoshino Hideshi.

They suffered heavy losses this time.

Even though they wanted to make money from others and not blame them, they still wanted to know who they lost to.

Backed by the Mitsui Group and the Fuji Group, their information channels are naturally far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Sun Zhenyi didn't know how much information they had found out, and it was unlikely that the other party would reveal all of it to him.

But he knew that this Mr. Li was the richest man in Hong Kong!
In this matter, whether you have money or not is not the point. The point is, who dares to invest 4 billion US dollars in the stock market at once, and spread it across hundreds of stocks?

Ultimate courage!

The results of it.

The yen surged and Japanese stocks soared.

All the hundreds of stocks that Mr. Li bet on were in the green.

What kind of magical operation is this?
Old Sun added: "In addition, according to the current market conditions, there is no doubt that the 500 million US dollars you invested in the Nikkei Index..."

besides! ! !

Sun Zhenyi's scalp tingled.

After Old Sun finished his report, he glanced at Sun Zhenyi and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Jiankun: "Go ahead."

He pointed to Sun Zhenyi:

"He doesn't know how to trade stocks, even if we teach him."

This is not the point. The point is whether Sun Zhenyi still has money to invest in stocks, Li Jiankun thought.

Sun Zhenyi smiled awkwardly and accepted it humbly. He was really not good at stock trading, and it was a blessing to meet such a big boss, even if it meant listening to his lectures.

Old Sun asked, "Do you have a plan to close all your positions? Do you hold all the stocks?"

Li Jiankun seemed to have regained his youthful and frivolous personality:
"Are you stupid? The United States has already thrown out the Plaza Accord, and relevant economic experts have been intervening verbally. The depreciation of the US dollar is obviously far from their expectations. In other words, the appreciation of the Japanese yen has not met expectations either.

“Is it easy to buy a large amount of stocks now?

"I'm selling stocks when I'm making a lot of money?"

Old Sun laughed awkwardly, thinking that it was you who made me stupid: "Yes, yes, I understand."

After saying that, he took his leave and left.

At this time, Sun Zhenyi did some calculations in his mind:

Mr. Li originally had a net worth of approximately 10 billion US dollars.

It is impossible to guess what means he used to almost completely understand the Plaza Accord in advance, using 500 million US dollars to go long on the Nikkei Index, 500 million US dollars to short the US dollar, and 4 billion US dollars to go long on Japanese stocks.

The last item alone now brings him $40 million a day.

And as he said, Washington's expectations for dollar depreciation are far from being met, and this is a long-term behavior.

Putting aside the volatility of the stock market, it is estimated that he made 40 million yuan a day - or perhaps more, as he also had two operations: long and short.

So in one month, that’s 1.2 billion!

One hundred and fourteen billion a year!
In less than three years, combined with his existing wealth, he would surpass Sam Walton's current wealth.

Forbes recently released this year's list, and the Sam Walton family became the richest man in the world with a fortune of 50 billion US dollars.

Oh no no no!

Sun Zhenyi's eyes suddenly widened, and he remembered another thing, an extremely terrifying thing:
This Mr. Li holds the most land in Japan!

The Japanese yen is surging, and land prices will only rise even faster!

Gudong!

Sun Zhenyi's Adam's apple rolled and he suddenly felt a sense of pride - what kind of important person was he sitting with now?

Li Jiankun stretched himself lazily, and seemed to be in a good mood after making some money, so he was willing to look at Sun Zhenyi more:
"I now doubt your ability, but there is one thing I admire about you - your honesty.

"I'll give you one more chance, do something for me, or get out."

Sun Zhenyi's expression was struggling. After all, he was not his future self. He was just a young man who had just graduated from school. He was facing a difficult decision:
Of course he didn't want to be inferior to others, but this man was not an ordinary person.

He is one of the richest people on the planet.

Follow him, lean on a big tree for shade, and your road ahead will be smooth.

If we reject him, we will first face the problem of an unpayable debt of 2 billion yen, and secondly, he may have to spend another four or five years to complete the initial primitive accumulation.

Do you want to be yourself?

Gradually, Sun Zhenyi's eyes became firm...

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Jiankun turned into his impetuous and frivolous side again:
“Is this a difficult decision?
"Are you conceited and think that you will achieve great heights in the future if you start your own business?
"To be honest, I've seen too many people like you.

"Now we are just waiting for the harvest, there is nothing else to do, so I will play with you.

"You just wanted to say that you couldn't pay back the 2 billion loan, right?
"Okay, you don't have to pay it back for now. I'll still help you start your own business. Bring me your business idea and a business plan. You don't have much money, so I'll give you some money and speed it up to see if it can succeed in the end!"

Li Jiankun looked like he was in a playful mood and was about to piss his father off.

Sun Zhenyi's eyes widened, thinking, how could there be such a strange temper in this world? But then he thought again, most of the great figures in history have strange tempers, so he felt relieved:
"Are you serious?"

Li Jiankun was two heads taller than him, and looked down at him with contempt: "Do I need to lie to you?"

Sun Zhenyi apologized repeatedly, then raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and said excitedly: "I will definitely do something good for you to see."

No, you can't do anything...

Li Jiankun had already predicted that today's drama would still not be enough to tame Sun Zhenyi.

Of course, it does have an effect.

His next move was called "Seven Capture and Seven Release".

The trick Zhuge Liang used on Meng Huo.

Don't be afraid of Sun Zhenyi's high aspirations.

This trick is specifically used to deal with stubborn people.
