After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 816 Hurry up, this isn't home!

"Three consecutive days of gains is an extremely abnormal market condition."

"If you are an investor and your losses are not significant, or you are even making a small profit, I suggest you get out as soon as possible."

“Those organizations led by Tianxing are definitely still inside. They couldn’t have been defeated, but they haven’t abandoned their positions.”

Some experts in the Japanese financial world have come forward to claim that Fuji-Dai is controlled by StarHeng Holdings, which in turn is under the name of Tensei, and that such promotion of a recovery in the Japanese market must have ulterior motives.

However, true wisdom and truth are often drowned out by the noise.

Moreover, in today's stock market, everyone is making money, so such remarks are all labeled as alarmist.

Thursday arrived as scheduled.

Neon time, 9:00 AM
The Nikkei index opened 1.18% higher.

Yesterday, the index broke through the 20,000-point mark, and today it is launching an attack towards 21,000 points.

The yen's performance in the foreign exchange market is similar to that of the Nikkei index, successively recovering the 125 yen, 122 yen and 120 yen levels, and is about to return to the 11 range.

There is a one-hour time difference between China and Japan.

Lu Liang arrived at Tianxing Building very early to conduct pre-battle mobilization and also checked the master account.

At its peak, the combined profits of the thousands of trading accounts reached $161 billion.

However, the subsequent additional $50 billion investment has almost gone down the drain, and after three consecutive days of gains, the total return is now only $41 billion.

Both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets continued their strong upward trend after the market opened today.

Total earnings are now down to tens of digits starting with 1, and are expected to fall below nine digits.

"Let's take a picture to commemorate this."

Lu Liang smiled. The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, or sometimes it didn't fly away completely; it might bring back a whole flock of ducks.

Financial markets are zero-sum games.

If Tianxing is already losing money with such low costs, then the losses of those on Wall Street will only be greater.

The profits they lost were all made by institutional investors, speculative funds, and retail investors who went long.

In the financial market, losing money is not terrible; what is terrible is making money, especially for newcomers.

The feeling of getting something for nothing will make them crave it, linger, and experience unbearable pleasure.

Once they start losing money, they hope to average down their positions, and the more they average down, the more the short sellers make.

The Japanese yen and the Japanese stock market, unlike the A-shares market, do not have daily price limits, which could easily make them lose everything overnight.

Lu Liang glanced at the time and said with a smile, "It's time to let them experience the feeling of an instant explosion."

At nearly 10 PM Tokyo time, George Soros, a leading short seller in Europe and the United States, suddenly made a public statement predicting a downturn in the Japanese economy.

The criticism was directed at the central bank that issued 50 trillion yen in bonds, questioning: "Does the Bank of Japan dare to disclose the details of its fundraising to date? I suspect the subscription amount has not exceeded 5 trillion yen."

George Soros is a world-renowned short seller who spearheaded the 97 Asian financial crisis. He shorted Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and although he suffered minor setbacks in Hong Kong and major setbacks in Taiwan, these failures were due to unforeseen circumstances.

Now, he has also come forward to support Lu Liang's short-selling of Japan, and it is suspected that the Quantum Fund was also involved in the project of shorting Japan.

As soon as the news spread, the upward momentum in both markets suddenly stalled, and before market investors could react, the yen market was the first to experience a freefall.

A huge influx of funds entered the market.

The USD/JPY exchange rate suddenly plummeted, breaking through 125 yen...137 yen...

In an instant, a drop of over ten percent wiped out millions of long positions, forcing a large number of accounts to liquidate and causing the exchange rate to fall further.

Foreign exchange has set an example.

The three major Japanese stock indices immediately followed suit.

The Nikkei 225 index, which was up 1.35% one second, saw a massive capital outflow the next, causing the index to plummet, mirroring the foreign exchange market.

In a dozen seconds, the Level 1 circuit breaker will be triggered.

"?"

"Nani?"

"What happened to the promised great victory?"

"Damn it, this is the money I need to buy a house, and part of it is a bank loan!"

"Someone save me! I used 20x leverage and lost all my margin in an instant. I even owe the brokerage eight million yen."

New investors who have just entered the market watch their account balances rapidly decrease, even turning negative, and feel as if their heart is being gripped by a giant hand, making it hard to breathe.

They couldn't help but recall the circuit breaker that had triggered two weeks prior.

That seems to have been the case back then.

Does this also mean that after a first-level circuit breaker is triggered, a second-level circuit breaker will inevitably follow?

"Hurry up, this isn't home!" A thought popped into everyone's mind. The index was still down 0.75%. Once the circuit breaker mechanism was triggered, the market would be forced to close for ten minutes. What awaited them next would probably be a level 2 circuit breaker, or even a level 3 circuit breaker.

Once suspicion arises, a crime is established.

The Nikkei 225 index plunged more than 8.02% in an instant, triggering a Level 1 circuit breaker and initiating a ten-minute mandatory market closure.

When the news reached China, the A-shares market used its traditional tactics.

Investors in the A-share market were completely bewildered.

"Ganlinliang, here it comes again?"

"Liu Shuiyu, your mother is calling you home for lunch. We're having stir-fried pork with whip for lunch."

"What does it matter to us if Japanese stocks are shorted? What does it matter to us if Japanese stocks rebound? You son of a bitch, you're a notorious hypocrite."

"When international markets fall, my market falls too; international markets have an impact on me. When international markets rise, my market doesn't rise; I'm different from international markets."

"Speaking of which, is nobody in China discussing Ryoko's second wave of attacks against Japan? I didn't expect Soros to also choose to support Ryoko."

"Where did you see Soros supporting Lu Liang? It's just that shorting Japan has become a consensus among international speculators, and Soros is simply making the right choice at the right time."

"Latest report: The USD/JPY exchange rate is about to reach 130. This wave of fleecing is quite brutal, almost comparable to the last century."

"So, does that mean we can go on a toilet-buying spree again?"

"Damn it, can't you be a little more sensible? If you're going to buy something, buy the classic editions of the teachers' works."

While Chinese netizens were discussing the matter, the Japanese stock market had ended its ten-minute mandatory trading halt.

At 10:15 a.m. Tokyo time, the three major sectors of the Japanese stock market reopened.

It's like a repeat of the market conditions from two weeks ago.

After the first-level circuit breaker is triggered, the second-level circuit breaker will follow immediately.

The exact same scenario unfolded again within a month, with the Nikkei index once again falling below -12% in a single day, triggering a Level 2 circuit breaker.

Millions of investors were scammed, to the point that it became a trending search term on the Japanese internet.

Did you lose money today?

Meanwhile, at the Tianxing Financial Building.

Lu Liang looked at the various accounts where profits were soaring, and then at the foreign exchange market, which was about to fall below 130 yen.

Despite the day's drop exceeding ten points, the foreign exchange market does not have a circuit breaker mechanism, and trading continued.

"Every ten years is a turning point; it's time for us to step in."

Lu Liang instructed Sun Yutao to set an investment cap of $195 billion to help the USD/JPY exchange rate fall below 130 yen.

Previously, $975 billion had been invested, with an additional 20% of the funding to be added.

Even if you don't make money, as long as you can recover your initial investment with a profit, it's worth it.

At a single command, a large number of short orders appeared in the foreign exchange market, leaving the already struggling bulls powerless to resist, and the downward trend of the USD/JPY exchange rate was reopened.

The foreign exchange market typically uses four decimal places as the unit of measurement, which is why you often see news reports of a country's currency surging by hundreds or thousands of points.

However, the USD/JPY exchange rate is currently experiencing a rapid decline, starting at one yen per dollar.

"One group is to be closed out at a price of 134 yen. The second group is on standby, waiting for the Nikkei index to trigger a level 3 circuit breaker."

Lu Liang suddenly shouted, almost as an instinctive reaction.

The speed of the decline in the foreign exchange market today far exceeded his expectations.

It felt like the whole world wanted Japan to die out completely, and there was a strong trend of driving the exchange rate down to 150 yen.

This forced him to change his plans. The original acquisition team planned to enter the market immediately after the second-level circuit breaker was triggered to buy at the bottom.

Given the current downward trend, a Level 2 circuit breaker is unlikely to stop the decline, and a Level 3 circuit breaker with a 20% drop is imminent.

If they continue according to the original plan, they will probably end up buying at the bottom halfway up the mountain.

At 10:23 AM Tokyo time, the Japanese stock market will reopen in two minutes.

Just then, the daily exchange rate fell below 134 yen and was about to hit 135 yen.

Like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, the unstoppable downward trend suddenly encountered the Three Gorges Dam, where the water flow gradually slowed down and almost came to a standstill.

Meanwhile, in the JPMorgan Chase trading room on Wall Street, Wilson cursed, "Damn it, how much money has this guy put into the foreign exchange market?"

According to their agreement, Lu Liang should start clearing out the stock at 135 yen.

Although it was ahead of schedule, they quickly took over the shares to prevent the exchange rate from rebounding due to Tianxing's clearance sale.

However, the amount of funds liquidated by Tianxing Financial far exceeded their expectations, like a woman in her forties with endless desires, unable to stop flowing.

Even though Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, and BlackRock have jointly taken on $550 billion in orders, the sell-off of Tianxing shows no signs of abating.
