After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 795 Japanese Stock Market Circuit Breaker!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I really want to know what expression he has right now?"

"Camon, you're on good terms with him, why don't you give him a call and ask?"

"Hahaha...you have such a twisted sense of humor, but this suggestion is pretty good."

Once upon a time, UN forces joined the North Korean battlefield; now, a joint organization has also come together to intercept Lu Liang's profits from shorting the yen.

Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Vanguard, and other well-known Wall Street institutions or funds would never work together on projects with mediocre returns, but shorting the Japanese yen is clearly worthwhile.

Furthermore, the periodic harvesting of wealth from the Japanese people is an important activity they carry out every few years, so how could they allow Lu Liang to steal food from their bowl?

"Forget it, he's too petty. If I call now to mock him, he'll hold a grudge." Wilson shook his head and decisively refused.

Since mid-October, when Morgan Stanley released its Q3 financial report, its stock price has fallen by 24.5%, wiping out more than $100 billion in market value, and it has yet to recover from the setback.

Further efforts will be needed to hype up General Star and acquire a stake in Cheung Kong's port business in order for Morgan Stanley to completely shake off the impact of the huge losses from last quarter.

Although they have now joined forces to intercept Lu Liang's profits from shorting the yen, this behavior is reasonable and acceptable.

One thing at a time. If someone calls to mock you, the nature of the situation changes, and it will inevitably affect future cooperation between the two parties.

Someone looked displeased and sneered, "Camon, do you know what you look like right now? A timid sewer rat."

Wilson squinted, took out his phone and tossed it on the table, still smiling, and said, "Allen, you call. You'd better introduce yourself and say you're the investment director at Vanguard."

Allen looked at the phone that had slid in front of him, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

It's fine to talk about it, but if he were to actually mock Lu Liang, he would need to think carefully about what he could gain by risking offending Lu Liang.
If it's just a series of praises for courage, then there's no need for that; for a specific example, you can refer to Camon Wilson.

Once the most ambitious investment bank manager in the United States, he successfully became the head of investment at JPMorgan Chase by helping Tesla become the third-generation flagship of American technology.

He is still young, only forty-three years old this year, and was originally the most promising successor to Jamie Dimon and to become the helmsman of Morgan.

Because he had been entangled with Lu Liang in the past, he suffered small losses in every confrontation. In the end, he was unwilling to accept this and made a big mistake, almost dragging JPMorgan Chase into the abyss.

Lu Liang is a bit of a devil; there's no need to risk offending him for the sake of a few words.

"Friends, do you know? This is actually not something to be happy about."

Suddenly, Stephen Schwarzman, who had been silent, spoke up and casually pushed his phone back in front of Wilson, indicating that he should stop there and move on from the topic.

He manipulated the screen behind him, switching from foreign exchange market data to stock market data, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the current Japanese stock market. All three major indices are falling. Even the most resilient Nikkei 225 index has fallen by 7.12%, and is about to trigger the circuit breaker mechanism."

"You should know who caused such a huge impact and who is in charge of all this. Is this really a good thing?"

Three years ago, Lu Liang could only follow behind them, picking up scraps of food.

Looking back two years ago, after a year of development, Lu Liang had already qualified to be seated at the table.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. By this time, Lu Liang already had the ability to contend with them.

Now, they are actually feeling smug about intercepting part of Lu Liang's profits from shorting the Japanese yen.

This shows that they implicitly acknowledged Lu Liang's strength and his right to have a separate table.

Neon lights were their private domain, their stage for periodic harvesting, but now Lu Liang has usurped their territory.

Isn't this a sad thing?

Stephen Schwarzman's expression turned solemn, and he said firmly, "Friends, you should all know that the greed of capital is insatiable. I think we should do something!"

He suddenly glanced at Wilson, and the others present followed his gaze.

Wilson instantly became the center of attention. He remained expressionless as he gathered his documents and said, "Everyone, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

He was sidelined; ever since the day he caused JPMorgan Chase huge losses, he has automatically been removed from the core circle of Wall Street.

As everyone knows, his top priority is to lead JPMorgan Chase out of its current predicament, and Lu Liang happens to have that ability.

Some secrets and important matters would be bypassed directly to prevent him from tipping off hostile forces in order to protect himself.

Wilson walked out of the conference room, and as the door closed behind him, a look of confusion appeared on his face: "Lieutenant General?"

He hurried back to his office, took out a notebook from the safe, and wrote down the information he had gathered.

There was a page he dedicated to recording this event, precisely because he was kept in the dark, which is why he was so eager to know.

Schwarzman is plotting a shocking conspiracy, and with the emergence of a key figure today, Wilson has a vague suspicion.

"Pat Robertson, a former Army lieutenant general and current congressman, is also the principal investigator of the Fort Detrick biological laboratory..."

Meanwhile, the Nikkei 225 index, which opened down 2.52%, continued to decline throughout the day. At 2 PM, it completely gave up resistance, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism with a -8% drop, and temporarily halted trading for ten minutes.

The circuit breaker in the Nikkei 225 index caused stock markets across East Asia to be a sea of ​​red, making one feel as if they were in a wilderness.

The only red dot in a sea of ​​green is the Hang Seng Index, but this doesn't mean the Hang Seng Index is holding firm; rather, a decline in the Hang Seng Index is represented by a red dot.

"Holy crap, Ryoko is ruthless. She caused the Japanese stock market to crash."

"Soros was nothing special back then; the real heroes are those of today."

"You bunch of idiots, stop fawning over me. Haven't you seen how badly the A-shares have plummeted?"

"Let it fall. A market downturn doesn't mean individual stocks will fall too. Good Foods has defied the trend and become a monster stock."

"This junk market is becoming more and more incomprehensible. Go ahead and try to piggyback on it if you want."

"Dezi hit the daily limit, and its market value exceeded 4000 billion. Surely we can't say that it also benefited from this surge?"

"Don't be so disrespectful. From now on, call him Prince Ning. Believe in Liangzi's prediction of a trillion-dollar market value back then."

Compared to the jubilation and lighthearted atmosphere in China, where stock market investors still have the energy to joke and banter, Japanese stock market investors feel as if the sky has fallen.

They used to laugh at their neighbor, who boasted of being the world's second-largest economy, only to find that its stock market performance was worse than India's.

In particular, the myth of two circuit breakers in four days and a thousand stocks hitting the daily limit down twice during New Year's Day two years ago is still a laughing stock in the international financial circle.

When this happened to them, they couldn't laugh at all, because this was the first time the circuit breaker mechanism had been triggered since the birth of the Japanese stock market.

"That despicable Lu Liang!"

"Orochi, please manifest and subdue him."

"Where are the cabinet ministers? Why hasn't anyone stepped forward to express their opinion?"

"Where is the central bank? Is our market really that fragile? Even less so than the A-share market?"

"Does anyone know Lu Liang's whereabouts? I used to serve in the Maritime Self-Defense Force and I can make homemade cannons."

Just as the Japanese public was in despair and began to denounce the perpetrators, including but not limited to personal threats, Fuji TV quickly launched a new program called "Financial Observation Room".

Several finance professors and industry authorities were invited to provide ongoing coverage of the current financial crisis.

Several professors, with serious expressions, informed hundreds of millions of people in Japan through television, radio, newspapers, online media, and other channels.

"The stock market circuit breaker is only temporary. Besides, the Nikkei 225 index has been rising for a long time and needs a correction."

"What we should be wary of is foreign exchange. Wall Street forces, led by BlackRock and Blackstone, are besieging the Japanese yen."

"In just half a day, the yen has fallen by -8.52%!"

"Imagine that yesterday we could exchange 112.52 yen for 1 US dollar, but now it would take 121.54 yen. For the same US dollar, we would have to pay 9.02 yen more."

"If we import a piece of equipment that costs $100 million, we will have to pay an additional 9.02 million yen. If it costs $10 billion, it will cost 90.2 billion yen."

"At this very moment, in this very second, $4260 billion of our shared wealth has evaporated..."

Several professors are multinationals and intentionally downplay the impact of the stock market.

From various aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation, the article discusses the drawbacks of the sharp depreciation of the yen and repeatedly implies that this is a periodic harvesting of them by American capital.

This has continued since the last century.

Finally, it was appropriately reminded that Lu Liang's original intention was only to acquire PayPal Group, and that a cooperation had already been reached with Ant Group.

It was because the Sumitomo Mitsui Group disagreed that he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

As the program aired, and with the hiring of a large number of online trolls, the intention was to guide public opinion.

For a time,

The outcry against Lu Liang was successfully divided.

Some rushed towards American capital, some towards Sumitomo Mitsui, and some towards then-Prime Minister Azumi.

Meanwhile, Lu Liang, who was far away in Hong Kong, learned of this.

He smiled and said to Xu Jiawei, "These professors are very capable; we can arrange for Ishikawa to collaborate with them long-term."

It is an indisputable fact that he shorted the yen and Japanese stocks, but the professors invited to the program are very capable and know how to divide internal conflicts.

For example, the periodic exploitation of Japan by American capital, the long-term exploitation of the people by conglomerates, and the inaction of then-Prime Minister Ahn Sam – these are all indisputable facts.
