Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Raise interest rates! We can't keep interest rates at zero anymore!"

"Longguo has interconnected the stock market data of the three places and has listed so many technology companies in order to siphon global funds. If we don't respond actively, the domestic economic system may be completely destroyed."

"We can't let the financial crisis happen again. We must raise interest rates to recover investment funds!"

“Raise interest rates, there’s no time!”

The island nation of Tokyo.

The scene of an impromptu meeting.

Among the 21 people present, 17 were cheering for an interest rate hike. They were extremely excited, and their identities were not simple either. They were at the top of the pyramid in the island country's financial field and could be understood as a think tank.

Zero interest rate or negative interest rate for the Japanese yen is the method they came up with to stimulate the economy and consumption.

It is precisely because of the adjustment of interest rates that the island country's economy remains in a relatively stable state despite several twists and turns.

Their call for raising interest rates is not random, but rather a well-considered decision.

There is no need to explain in detail the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike and the creation of the dollar tide. Over the past two years, all countries in the world, except the United States, have entered a state of economic deflation as a result.

This financial reform of Longguo is a "devastating" blow to other countries, including the United States.

why would you say so?

There is a total amount of hot money in the world.

Due to the US dollar interest rate hike, most of the hot money is earning interest in US banks or making more profits in US stocks.

Now Longguo not only interconnects the stock market data of the three places, but also launches the current leading technology company, Longxing Group. Will international capital miss this rare investment opportunity?
Most likely, no!
It's like sports lottery for football matches.

Suppose the Longguo football team plays a friendly match with the Argentine football team, and the sports lottery happens to include this match and gives a 2-to-1 odds of winning or losing. Can the fans who understand penalty kicks still control themselves?
It is clear.

No one can control it.

Not to mention the football fans, even passers-by who don’t watch football know that the Dragon Country football team cannot be compared with the Argentine football team. The two are not on the same dimension.

The same is true for investing in Longxing Group. Even if we don’t mention chips, just talking about the benefits brought by Thor solid-state batteries and 5G high-speed networks, Longxing Group already has extremely high investment value.

The most important thing is that this time it is not just Longxing Group that is going public, but also the leading drone company Jiangyu Technology, the leading short video company ByteDance, and the veteran technology company Kunpeng.

With one trump card after another, Longguo has made it clear to the world that the current Golden Dragon Technology Index is the Nasdaq Index of ten years ago. As long as international funds dare to invest, they will definitely be able to obtain considerable returns.

The main seat in the conference room, Kojiro Kimura, who is in his fifties, with a dark yellow complexion and wrinkles on his cheeks, is very conflicted. He has been suppressing the pace of interest rate hikes.

The consequence of a sudden interest rate hike on the Japanese yen would be a financial tsunami.

Whether it is the "Mrs. Watanabe" of the island country or the "Mrs. Watanabe" of other countries, these people borrowed a large amount of yen to invest, so that the island country would not suffer from inflation.

If the United States deals with inflation by raising interest rates to allow money in the market to flow back into banks, then the island country's way of dealing with inflation is zero interest rates.

Of course.

This move was unintentional.

When the island country first implemented zero-interest or negative-interest lending, its original intention was to stimulate public consumption and increase capital liquidity.

Who would have thought that there was a "Mrs. Watanabe" so smart that she actually borrowed money to invest overseas, crossed the class barrier in one fell swoop, and even shared the method with her friends.

Precisely because of the huge amount of overseas investment, the island country dare not raise interest rates rashly.

If the yen's interest rate hike is announced, Mrs. Watanabe's investment loans will definitely flow back. Once the funds flow back, if there are not enough goods to take over, it will easily cause inflation.

"The issue of raising interest rates on the yen involves too many issues. We cannot rely solely on our own wishes. We must first consult the United States for its opinion." After careful consideration, Kojiro Kimura responded to everyone.

"The United States will definitely not agree!"

"They won't agree to this. If we raise interest rates, it will be equivalent to helping Longguo withdraw their funds. Not only can we not tell the United States about this, but we have to do it secretly!"

"That's right, you must not tell the United States!"

"The yen interest rate hike is imminent. If there is any delay, our domestic economy may be doomed. Are you, Kojiro Kimura, going to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history?"

When everyone objected, a hot-blooded man in his thirties stood up and pointed his sword at Kojiro Kimura.

In fact, everyone in the conference room knew that Kojiro Kimura was a running dog supported by the United States, whose purpose was to control the interest rate of the Japanese yen and facilitate the United States' harvest.

When the U.S. dollar tide just started, why did the island country watch itself being harvested by Wall Street without taking any rescue measures?
Very simple.

There is pressure from Kojiro Kimura.

Even if European countries were raising interest rates, he would not allow the Japanese yen to raise interest rates.

"You!" Kojiro Kimura was about to get angry, but when he looked around, he found that everyone around him was glaring at him.

Hatred.

anger.

Killing intent.

Kojiro Kimura felt threatened with death.

In just less than two years, the island country's economic situation changed from inflation to deflation, with a large number of investors "flying around", and Kojiro Kimura was the driving force behind it.

“It’s not too late to raise interest rates now.”

At this time, someone came out to smooth things over.

The one who tried to smooth things over was a fat man. His arms alone were as thick as Kimura Kojiro's legs, and his face was covered with a lot of fat.

His name is Hideki Miyazaki. He is one of the top four people in this 21-person meeting and has a certain say.

"good."

"really."

Two more people agreed.

When Kojiro Kimura looked around, he realized that he had no say in this meeting and these people wanted him to step down.

"Okay, okay!" Kimura Kojiro stood up, glanced at everyone and said, "Then I'll leave, you guys can make your own decisions."

"slow!"

Miyazaki Hideki suddenly spoke.

next second.

Several muscular men in suits broke into the conference room and came directly to the side of Kojiro Kimura, controlling his arms on the left and right.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Kimura Kojiro roared.

Miyazaki Hideki looked serious and said to the other people in the meeting room, "The content of this meeting must be kept highly confidential. Thank you, President Kojiro, for staying here."

The yen interest rate hike is a matter of great importance. Any leak of the news could lead to the island country's doom, so they must take the enemy by surprise.

"In that case, I am willing to cooperate."

"I am willing to cooperate."

"I am willing to do so, but I have a question, how much should the interest rate be raised?"

When asked how much the interest rate should be raised, no one else in the conference room looked at Hideki Miyazaki. They all knew that Hideki Miyazaki was just a pawn pushed out, and the people who really asked him to express his opinion were a man and a woman named Sohei Tanigawa and Shizuko Watanabe.

This is a bit like the class teacher and the dean of studies in school, who are usually fierce and cold-faced, and are in charge of this and that.

But do they really want to control it?
not necessarily!

It’s just that someone proposed it, such as the principal, and they strictly enforce it.

It's not just schools. The human resources managers in many companies are vicious and mean, but that's the job of their position, because it's impossible for the boss to be the villain, so it can only be the people under him.

Miyazaki Hideki also had an idea in his mind and looked at the man and woman.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tanigawa Sohei coughed twice and said, "My plan is to raise the interest rate to 3%, and then gradually increase it to 5%, to give speculators around the world a transition period."

Watanabe Shizuko nodded and said nothing.

The current Japanese yen interest rate is zero. If it is directly increased to 3%, it is estimated that there will be a capital inflow of 700 billion US dollars. However, if it is increased to 5%, there will be a conservative capital inflow of 1500 billion US dollars.

Sohei Tanigawa and Shizuko Watanabe discussed the consequences privately. Although this time they were stabbing the United States in the back, they did not want to be too harsh. If the interest rate was increased to 5% all at once, a large amount of "Mrs. Watanabe's" funds would definitely panic. Even if the hot money in the United States was not sucked away by the Dragon Country's stock market, it would be sucked back to the country by the island country's interest rate hike.

There is a saying in Longguo that goes, "Leave a way out for yourself so that you can meet again in the future." Let overseas funds slowly flow back, and I'll be fine, and everyone will be fine.

“A direct increase of 3%, isn’t this number a bit too high?”

"Yeah, it feels a bit high."

"How about 1%?"

"I think it would be best to give 1% as a transition period and then slowly increase it."

Some people think it is still too radical. They thought 1% was enough, but they didn’t expect the starting point to be 3%, and the final value was 5%, which exceeded many people’s expectations.

"1% is too little. Don't underestimate Longxing Group's ability to attract money and realize cash. We would rather have inflation than deflation."

Shizuko Watanabe made a strong statement.

The island country has experienced inflation several times and has experience in dealing with it.

But if they fall into severe economic deflation, they will be in trouble, because the island country is notoriously poor in land resources. Coupled with the reduction in the export market for industrial commodities, they have no ability to cope with deflation and can only guide it towards inflation.

"Yes."

Tanigawa Sohei echoed and said, "We must provide enough benefits, otherwise domestic funds will go to the Longguo market, which is not good for us."

After the two people explained, everyone present had no objections.

After the meeting, they were all "forced" to stay, their cell phones were confiscated, and they were not allowed to contact anyone outside.

But because Hideki Miyazaki was too fat, he had to take medicine to control his three highs. He got a chance to make a phone call, but when he called, there was a special person eavesdropping.

"Dududu-"

After a few busy tone, the call was connected.

"I'm going to stay at the company for a few days. I have something important to tell you. Chunhui, have someone bring my insulin, nifedipine, and hydrochlorothiazide tablets over. Oh, and bring nutritional supplements and a blood sugar meter as well."

As soon as Miyazaki Hideki finished speaking, Miyazaki Junhui on the other end of the phone immediately responded: "I know, I'll send it to you right away."

"Okay, that's it, I'm hanging up now."

"It's hard work." "It's not hard work."

After the call was hung up, the staff who were listening nearby did not notice anything unusual. After all, what Miyazaki Hideki was talking about were the essential medicines and instruments for a patient with three highs.

However, on the other side, Miyazaki Jun'e began to think about what Miyazaki Hideki said.

"Insulin, nifedipine, hydrochlorothiazide tablets, nutritional supplements and blood glucose meters..."

About three minutes later, she paused when she thought of Miyazaki Hideki. The first three drugs were mentioned, and the last two...

“First 3%, then 2%?”

Miyazaki Jun'e quickly wrote it down.

Just before his superior called Miyazaki Hideki to attend an emergency meeting, he called Miyazaki Jun'e to discuss the transmission of the secret code.

Because he knew very well that the meeting was held here as soon as Long Country made a big move, which was most likely to be aimed at responding to the big country next door.

At present, the only way for island countries to deal with "siphoning" is to raise interest rates.

After clarifying this information, he agreed with Miyazaki Jun'e to pay attention to the information on his phone call and look for clues about the extent of the interest rate hike.

When Miyazaki Hideki called, he deliberately only mentioned three medicines, and then mentioned nutritional supplements and blood glucose meters in a punctuated manner. The meaning was very clear.

3% and 2%, 3% comes first and 2% comes later, so it can only be 3% first, and then 2% will be added in the future, and the final interest rate increase will be 5%.

After Miyazaki Jun'e guessed the meaning, she sent the information to Chen Xing directly through the encrypted mailbox without any hesitation.

……

And at the same time.

The United States across the ocean.

Due to the time difference, although it was already early morning in Longguo, it was noon here, with the sun shining brightly and no clouds in the sky.

In the top floor office of the Federal Reserve headquarters building, Davic took a puff of his cigar and said calmly, "As expected, data must be interoperable. Wei Yan, your intelligence is correct."

"what should we do?"

Wei Yan asked.

He did not worry about the authenticity of the intelligence.

He knew very well that Davic had already investigated and verified it, and saying that his information was correct was just a polite remark.

"They were given two days to complete the stock market data interconnection, but I won't let them finish on time. I've already contacted Microsoft, so just wait and see."

Davic said calmly.

The moment he mentioned Microsoft, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Wei Yan's mind, and he also knew Davic's next move.

Currently, the operating system for most computers in the world is Windows. If Microsoft takes action, it may disrupt the process of data interoperability in the Dragon Country’s stock market.

“Is it this abacus?”

Wei Yan murmured in his heart.

Davic had been observing Wei Yan, and seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, he asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking..." Wei Yan came back to his senses in an instant and quickly found an excuse: "Doesn't Longxing Group have the Tianxuan operating system? If something goes wrong with the Windows system, will they activate the backup Tianxuan operating system?"

"Absolutely impossible." Davic smiled calmly and continued, "Although Chen Xing is indeed a visionary and has subsidized tens of billions of yuan to developers to build an application ecosystem, they started too late. At this stage, the Windows system still dominates the market. We can just watch the show."

"Then let's observe a moment of silence for them." Wei Yan smiled and picked up the red wine glass on the table.

Wei Yan put down his cigar and picked up the wine glass. The two of them raised their glasses to each other, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed again.

On the other side, at Microsoft, programmers have already started working.

As for the Jewish consortium and the Anglo-Saxon consortium, they asked the traders on Wall Street to take action and completely give up supporting US stocks.

At the beginning, no investors noticed that the bottom support had disappeared.

But when the Nasdaq fell by 5%, the Seven Sisters of US stocks were smashed by 10%, and the market was about to approach the 7% circuit breaker line, investors realized it belatedly and hurriedly wanted to run out, but they no longer had the chance.

Nasdaq, Dow Jones and S&P collectively fell 7%, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism, and US stock trading was suspended for 15 minutes.

Some investors were trapped by 8%, some were trapped by 10%, and some investors who like to buy small-cap stocks were directly trapped by 20%!

For a while.

Everyone was crying and shouting.

[Pawiu Oba]: "What happened? In less than 20 seconds, my stock price dropped by 12%. Not only did I lose all my profits, but I was also stuck with 6%. Is this fair?"

[Graeme Trevino]: "Should I sell my shares? I've lost all my profits."

[Assad Fletcher]: "I just checked. It was Longguo that issued the announcement on stock market data interoperability. Longxing Group is also going to go public. It may have been influenced by them."

While investors were discussing the issue, the water armies of Bailey Group and Leading Group came into action collectively and began to spread the news everywhere.

[Sage Hannah]: "There is no need to panic. Just look at the historical trend of US stocks and you will know that every decline is a good opportunity to increase our holdings. We just need to wait patiently."

[Doujie Doofenshmirtz]: "That's right, we are a financial nation. Even if there is a short-term decline, it will rise again soon. Don't be afraid."

Under the guidance of the water army, many investors did not sell their stocks after the market reopened fifteen minutes later, but chose to wait and see.

But in just these few minutes of hesitation, the Nasdaq had already fallen 10%, and the seven sisters of US stocks were even worse, with Apple falling 17%, Amazon 12%, and Microsoft also falling 14%. It seemed that a large amount of major funds were selling.

But slowly, the downward trend began to stop.

The stock investors hesitated again, should they sell or not?

New stock investors all have an idea, which is, if they don’t sell, how can others make money?
It is true to think so. If you don't sell your stocks, others will not be able to cut your losses. But this also brings up a question: whether the stocks you hold can go back to normal.

Anyone who has ever traded stocks knows that many stocks have a multi-peak structure.

For example, it was 2012 yuan in 2, 2013 yuan in 4, peaked at 2014 yuan in 6, and then fell back to 2015 yuan in 2. This is the first peak. If it returns to 2016 yuan in 6 and falls back to 2017 yuan in 2, this is the second peak.

Almost all stocks experience such a multi-peak structure.

It is precisely because of this trend that many newbies think that as long as they hold on long enough, they can wait until the next peak period comes.

However, what awaits them is most likely to be a stagnant market with no prospect of recovering their investment, and some may even be delisted altogether.

Don’t think that you can rest easy just because US stocks will receive delisting compensation. Delisting doesn’t matter. The compensation is not in full, but according to a proportion, such as 30% or 25%.

At this time, there must be people who think that 25% is also good.

But is it really 25%?
If your 100 yuan drops to 10 yuan, and you are compensated 2.5 yuan, your static loss is 97.5 yuan. This is the cruelest truth of the stock market.

The decline planned by the Jewish and Ansa consortiums is intended to trap retail investors and keep their funds in US stocks.

People who gamble regularly know that if they lose money, a thought will automatically come to their mind, which is to stop playing until they get their money back.

The Jewish consortium and the Ansa consortium take advantage of the gambler mentality of stock investors. They don't trap you too deeply, only 10%, and then pull the market sideways, so that you can't cut your losses or add to your positions. They just don't let the funds leave the US stocks.

……

On Longguo Internet, the entry "US stock circuit breaker" has become a hot search, attracting countless people to watch.

[Luoshui Zhiyue]: "I wonder who will dare to say that we can't influence the whole world in the future. This wave has directly caused the US stock market to crash!"

[War God Rush]: "Longxing Group, this giant, is going public. It is estimated that foreign funds are scrambling to flee the United States in panic, which caused the U.S. stock market circuit breaker this time."

[I am a handsome guy]: "There are still more than ten hours before the listing, and the US stock market has been circuit-breakered first. What is the meaning of appearance? This is called appearance!"

[Anti-US Pioneer]: "How does that sentence go? Longxing Group is far ahead!"

Countless people were making jokes and also felt proud of the strength of their country.

It was able to scare the US stock market into halting operations. If nothing unexpected happens, many investors will use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

At the Imperial Capital Star Hotel, Chen Xing was also paying attention to the reaction of the United States.

"Fuse blown? Interesting."

Chen Xing smiled faintly.

He also realized that the market maker behind Mi Stock wanted to trap investors' funds and prevent them from leaving Mi Stock easily.

But is it useful?

Have!
But not much!
"Today is destined to be extraordinary. The US stock market has been halted, and a batch of Longguo technology companies have been listed. I just don't know if there will be any other big news."

Li Daxiao spoke.

"Should we continue to increase our holdings today?" Yang Delong asked.

At this moment, in the living room of the presidential suite, speculators were watching the market. They had already purchased tens of billions of Israeli stocks.

"Keep adding." Chen Xing looked at Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others and said, "Now the eyes of the whole world are on us. It's a good time to buy in large amounts. In addition, you can try to borrow institutional securities. We must suck up all the chips so that we can destroy them."

"If you don't do anything, then you'll make a big splash, right?" Li Daxiao said with a smile.

During this period, they bought too many stocks in the Israeli stock market, conservatively estimated at 114 billion, covering hundreds of stocks.

Due to the complex relationship between Israel and the United States, the moment the market crash began was the prelude to the financial war.

[Ding dong! ]
[System update reminder! ]
While Chen Xing was talking with Li Daxiao and others, Windows system update prompts popped up on the laptops of Cai Jimin, Lu Xiaobao and other hot money. Some people clicked the cross, while others did not see it and automatically entered the update program after 15 seconds.

At first they thought it was nothing, thinking it was just a routine patch update for the Windows system, but as the update restarted, the computer that chose to update suddenly had a blue screen.

"Blue screen?"

"My computer blue screen?"

The sudden situation attracted the attention of Chen Xing, Li Daxiao, and Yang Delong, and they looked at Cai Jimin.

"Restart it and see."

Li Daxiao reminded.

"I've restarted it twice and tried to repair the system, but it doesn't seem to work." As soon as Cai Jimin finished speaking, Chen Xing smelled something unusual. This might be the other party making a move.

The fact was just as he thought. Patch updates popped up on all the computers in Longguo that were equipped with Windows systems. All the computers that chose to update entered a blue screen state and could not be repaired, so they had to reinstall the old version.

Before the news spread, more and more computers were affected one after another.

The computers responsible for communicating stock market data inevitably ran into problems, and everyone was in chaos.

Listening to the urgent call from his subordinates, Xiao Gang, the village chief of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, glanced at his watch and muttered, "Only three hours have passed, and they have already used such despicable means to try to prevent the three cities from communicating with each other. It seems that what Chen Xing said is right. The rise of domestic products is the real rise."
