Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 838 The Japanese are inviting a wolf into their house.
Sunday, May 3.

Shenzhen time, 21:09:11.
Japanese Island East City, 22:09:11.
Magnesium Country Capital, 09:09:11.
The Grand Steward's Office in the capital of the United States.

Less than 11 hours before the start of the new week at the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Japan, the Japanese government representative finally met with the US's chief executive officer, Old Bush.

"Your Excellency, we have a new plan!" A short, thin old man from Japan, dressed in a black tailcoat, looked obsequiously at the Grand Steward of the United States and said:
"On April 1st, after the stock price of Japanese listed companies hits the 15% circuit breaker and trading is suspended, they will apply for a trading halt and issue a company dividend announcement."

“我们大藏省将在4月1号中午12点30分，发布救市公告，救市资金超过500万亿日元！”

"What?" The US's chief executive sat up straight in shock, quickly doing the math in his head: 500 trillion yen could be exchanged for about 4 trillion US dollars, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the US's GDP last year!

"Are you guys insane?!" the blond, fat man in charge of finances frowned. "Where did you get so much money?"

The United States' GDP reached 6 trillion US dollars last year, but that does not mean that the United States printed 6 trillion US dollars and put them in circulation. The same is true for Japan.

An elderly man with brown hair next to him added, "Even if they've been printing 10,000 yen banknotes lately, they still can't print that much money, unless the Japanese bank inflates its savings."

The blond, fat man in charge of finances looked at the chief steward and said, "Japan Bank has lost its international credibility due to falsifying loan records; if they dare to inflate their savings, banks around the world will close all business with Japan Bank, rendering the yen completely worthless."

"I wasn't finished yet. The 500 trillion yen figure is just a figure to show our determination. In reality, we'll need to leverage it!" the short, thin old man from Japan said with a chuckle.
"After the market rescue announcement, Japanese stocks that had been suspended from trading will resume trading at 12:30 when the market opens, and will rebound strongly along with other Japanese stocks."

"We hope that your country can enable European and American institutions to make a profit from short selling, and then join us in going long on Japanese stocks this afternoon, pushing all Japanese stocks up to the 20% circuit breaker halt."

Two sets of data silenced the Americans in the office.
-
A 15% circuit breaker triggered, causing the stock to plummet to its daily limit!

A 20% circuit breaker triggered, hitting the daily limit up!

With this one move, a 50% return was achieved in just one day!
If you add 100x leverage during the trading process, the daily return can be 50 times!
When profits reach 10%, some people start to get restless.

When profits reach 50%, some people dare to take risks.

When profits reach 100%, they dare to trample on all human laws.

When profits reach 300%, they are not even afraid of being hanged.

And the profit that this Japanese islander just mentioned is 5000%!

Earn 5000% in one day!

……

After leaving the Peace Hotel late at night, Zhang Heping took some fruit and pastries from the hotel and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Peace Hospital across the street.

The sixth brother's wife, Ding Ning, gave birth to a healthy baby boy a couple of days ago. Because it was a C-section, she is still in the hospital today.

Ding Ning is the head of the personnel department at this hospital. The medical staff in the obstetrics and gynecology department are very welcoming to her. They even left two beds empty in the three-person ward so that Zhao Laoliu could take turns keeping watch over her at night.

As soon as Zhang Heping left, Ding Ning instructed her husband to set aside most of the fruit and pastries and deliver them to the obstetrics and gynecology medical staff on duty.

When Zhao Jianguo returned to the ward, Ding Ning ate a banana and said to her husband, "Heping just said that after we get the money back from the fund, we can invest in real estate in the capital or Shenzhen. What do you think?"

Zhao Jianguo walked to the small bed, glanced at his sleeping son, then sat down next to his wife's bed and whispered, "We have a big villa here. If you want to buy something, buy it in the capital!"

After finishing a banana, Ding Ning picked up a small cake and said with a smile, "I also think it's better to buy a house in the capital first."

"I heard that Aunt Ma bought dozens of apartments and courtyard houses in the capital. Do you think the housing prices in the capital can really rise as sharply as those abroad?"

"I don't know!" Zhao Jianguo picked up the remaining five loquats on the bedside table, peeled them as he spoke, "But I heard that housing prices in Haicheng have gone up, and now it's 750 yuan per square meter!"

"750? That's so high?" Ding Ning was astonished when her man stuffed a peeled and pitted loquat into her mouth.

"The information from our internal system confirms that prices are indeed that high!" Zhao Jianguo frowned, thinking about how most workers in China earn between 50 and 300 yuan a month. "I don't know if this kind of housing price increase is a good thing or a bad thing!"

“A 100-square-meter house costs 75,000 yuan. Last month, I heard Aunt Ma say that a three-courtyard siheyuan in the capital only costs 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.” Ding Ning muttered to himself as he calculated, “The return on funds from Peace Investment can conservatively be estimated at 30%.”

"The principal was 10, and if I get it back, it will be 13. I also have 30 in my salary account..."

Snapped!
Ding Ning suddenly slapped himself, leaving Zhao Jianguo stunned on the spot.

Seeing his wife's sudden change in mood, Zhao Jianguo quickly leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ding Ning gave the half-eaten cake to her man, then huddled under the covers and frantically ruffled her long hair.

"No!" Zhao Jianguo quickly put down the cake, hurriedly grabbed his wife's hands, stared at her eyes and facial expression, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

“We lost 9 yuan! Waaah…” Ding Ning said, then started wailing in frustration.

Zhao Jianguo had just heard his wife doing the math. He remembered that he had taken Zhang Heping's advice and asked his wife to buy funds from Heping Investment Company. However, Ding Ning was reluctant to buy all of them and only bought 10 yuan worth.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jianguo released Ding Ning and said helplessly, "Didn't Heping tell you to invest in real estate? Buy more this time and make back what you lost before."

Ding Ning said awkwardly, "Honey, I only bought 10 yuan worth of funds this time. Did He Ping find out and that's why he specifically brought up the matter of buying a house as an investment?"

"Don't overthink it!" Zhao Jianguo swallowed the remaining half of the small cake on the table in one bite and said vaguely, "He and I have a life-or-death bond. Just remember that he won't harm us."

Zhang Heping could access all of Ding Ning's family's financial information, as long as it was reflected on their bank cards, through the bank's electronic transaction system.

Therefore, Zhang Heping brought up the matter of reminding Zhao Jianguo and his wife to buy a house because he discovered that they had a lot of spare money.

Once this battle between bulls and bears in the Japanese stock market ends, the yen will definitely be severely over-issued.

With the continuous over-issuance of magnesium dollars, other countries' currencies can only passively follow suit to prevent Japanese magnesium from gaining an advantage in import and export trade.

Therefore, as the RMB is also over-issued in mainland China, the value of money in mainland China will continue to depreciate, and prices will rise accordingly.

Zhao Laoliu's money is small change; they can easily buy a few houses.

But the money in the Peace Group's accounts is growing larger and larger, which is a big problem!
However, facing restrictions from 33 allied countries led by the United States, the Peace Group is also facing major business adjustments.

The question is whether to diversify the shares of its listed companies, introduce capital from other countries, and open up trade routes with those countries, or to confront those allied nations head-on.

When Zhang Heping returned home, he found Hua Lao, Li Lao, Zheng Laotai and others sitting on the sofa, chatting with Tang Ming and Xu Jiefeng about the many changes in China.

"Peace is back!" Old Hua greeted with a smile. "How was the communication with the Hong Kong businessmen?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Heping said casually without stopping, "Would you all like to go upstairs to the study for a while? I still need to have a video conference with the people in Hong Kong to arrange things for tomorrow."

After speaking, Zhang Heping had already walked to the stairs.

Elder Hua, Elder Li, and the others exchanged glances and then got up and followed. The Japanese government representatives lingered in the capital, talking about their assistance to the mainland since the 1970s, but never mentioning the trivial matters of technology secrecy and maintenance secrecy.

However, for the sake of appearances, the people in the capital still hope that Elder Hua can persuade Zhang Heping not to go too far.

As soon as Zhang Heping sat down and turned on his computer, Hua Lao and the others followed him in, each finding a chair to sit down, wanting to hear what Zhang Heping had to say in the meeting.

Chen Shuting had just finished brewing tea for Zhang Heping and brought it over when she saw that Elder Hua and the others were also there. They hadn't brought the teacups up from downstairs yet, so she went out to find some teacups, feeling helpless.

After connecting to the video conference room of Heping Group, Heping Investment, and Huma Investment, Zhang Heping quickly checked the back-end data of the bank's electronic transaction system.

"Master, we have intelligence from the United States. It seems that the Japanese have persuaded the investment banks on Wall Street, and they are having a secret meeting!"

"Master, news has also come from Europe that the Japanese are lobbying some large conglomerates and corporations."

"Boss, we need to be careful that the funds from those allied countries don't go back on their word!"

The heads of short selling from Peace Investment, Stepmother Investment, and Peace Group all spoke, their words revealing underlying concerns.

While checking the flow of funds, Zhang Heping casually remarked, "Simply shorting Japanese stocks carries significant risks."

"For example, the Japanese investors persuaded Euromag Funds to go long on Japanese stocks with them."

"With the Japanese government acting as the referee in the Japanese stock market, it's easy to persuade O.M.'s funds."

"In particular, if the Japanese government offers huge profits and then threatens to suspend trading for a long period of time, European and American funds will definitely side with the Japanese."

"Therefore, the topic of our meeting tonight is how to hedge risks in the process of financial investment!"

When Chen Shuting returned with a water cup and a kettle, she heard Zhang Heping talking about the stocks, options, and stock index futures he would buy the next day.

In addition, Mr. Hua, Mr. Li, and Mrs. Zheng took out notebooks to record keywords, but Liu Yuan was clever and used her smartphone to record audio.

When Secretary Chen and Liu Yuan saw Chen Shuting bring cups to pour tea for them, they realized what was happening and hurriedly went over to help.

After a while, the head of the financial team from the Peace Group spoke up and asked, "Boss, I heard that many Hong Kong businessmen have been going to Shenzhen to see you these past two days. Will they do hedging operations like we have?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Heping said calmly. "I reminded them tonight that shorting Japanese stocks carries a lot of risk, and I hope they will entrust their funds to our fund management."

"Whether they listen or not is their business. Let's leave them alone for now. Do you have any more questions?"

A young man from the stepmother's investment company spoke up, "Master, we're going to buy put options and Japanese stocks tomorrow. How do we find the break-even point and the profit point?"

"I will send the data to the relevant personnel via email later, and then they will make the necessary arrangements."

"Let's start with a small amount of money tomorrow to practice and see what tricks the Japanese can pull!"

Zhang Heping answered a few more questions before leaving the video conference.

Hua and Li listened to Zhang Heping's meeting in its entirety and knew that they would temporarily halt their short-selling offensive against Japanese stocks tomorrow. Therefore, they abandoned their plan to persuade him tonight and decided to see how things went tomorrow.

After seeing the outsiders off, Chen Shuting said to Zhang Heping, "They'll be here this afternoon!"

Chen Shuting thought that Hua Lao and Li Lao had waited so long, most likely to persuade Zhang Heping not to go too far with Japanese stocks.

Unexpectedly, before they could even speak, Zhang Heping made the decision to temporarily suspend shorting Japanese stocks.

The key point is that in Zhang Heping's hedging operations, they also need to buy some Japanese stocks as a safety net, which is something that Hua Lao and Li Lao don't understand.

Is this still short selling?

Sure enough, after returning to Villa No. 4, Elder Hua and Elder Li made several phone calls overnight, asking about the financial terms recorded in their notebooks and analyzing Zhang Heping's intentions.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that Zhang Heping was teaching his subordinates how to engage in long-term financial investment, rather than short-term speculation.

The next day was April Fool's Day!

The Japanese stock market remained open as usual, unlike Hong Kong, which closed its market without any remorse during the 87 stock market crash.

However, the Japanese islanders still reneged on the deal during the transaction.

Japanese stocks are still experiencing a sharp decline today. When the 7% drop triggered the first circuit breaker and trading halt, there were no abnormalities yet.

However, once a stock falls by 15% and triggers a second circuit breaker, the stock will issue a major announcement and suspend trading.

Among them were the stocks of several Japanese car companies that Zhang Heping had his eye on!
Japan's time is one hour ahead of mainland China's!
Just as Zhang Heping finished his morning space capsule experiment and was about to go home for lunch, his mistress Chen Shuting called him.

"Honey, the Japanese government has announced that it will inject 500 trillion yen into the Japanese stock market to rescue it! I've sent you the news on QQ."

"Okay! I'll check it later. I'll take this call now!" Zhang Heping said, and then answered the call from Bao Chuanwang.

"Mr. Zhang, the Japanese stock market surged at the opening this afternoon, and many of us have been wiped out!" The voice of the ship owner, still shaken, came from the other end of the phone. "Luckily, I listened to you. I didn't invest much money today, so overall I still made more money than I lost."

"That's good!" Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I received a call from Chairman Guo. I wonder how much money he invested today."

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Heping answered Chairman Guo's call.

Because Zhang Heping had performed proton therapy on Chairman Guo, Chairman Guo trusted Zhang Heping, so he didn't lose any money.

Then, Chairman He, Mr. Rong from CITIC, and others called, but the Tang brothers, Tang Lie and Tang Qiang, did not call.

No need to guess, these two guys definitely fell for it!

Safety first when it comes to making money!

Only the older generation knows how risky the road to making money is, and how difficult it is to make money.

However, the Tang brothers, Tang Lie and Tang Qiang, had made a lot of money in the past few years, and their nerves had relaxed after being on edge for so long.

Fortunately, after Zhang Heping took a nap, Tang Qiang still called.

"Uncle, my brother and I have been ripped off by the Americans!" Tang Qiang said angrily. "Those bastards from Morgan Stanley approved a loan of 20 billion US dollars for my company and my brother's company last night, and even gave us 10 times leverage."

"Luckily we listened to you and only used 2 million magnesium dollars to test the waters today. As a result, we were liquidated as soon as the market opened in the afternoon and lost all our principal."

"However, we used our own funds to buy a lot of Japanese stocks this afternoon, hehe..."
