After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 817 Forced Love
"It's really great to have someone take over."

Seeing the transactions completed one after another and the balance of the account pending settlement soaring, Lu Liang smiled with narrowed eyes.

If no one takes over, it's like killing someone and then digging a hole to bury them; if someone takes over, it's like killing someone and then just walking away.

Just then, Xu Jiawei knocked on the door and entered, informing Lu Liang that his private phone had rung.

Lu Liang seemed to have expected this. Without even glancing at the caller ID, he walked out of the trading room, answered the phone directly, and asked with a smile, "Hello, Camon, what's up?"

"Having already taken in nearly $600 billion in funds, how much of your portfolio do you have left?"

Wilson gritted his teeth. One thing at a time, he was genuinely angry now. They seemed to have seriously underestimated Tianxing's investment in the foreign exchange market.

"It'll be soon, there's not much left."

Lu Liang chuckled and exclaimed, "As expected of a world-leading conglomerate, they can handle such a large amount of funds."

Stephen Schwarzman's voice came through the phone: "If we can't handle this, you won't get away with it either."

"Don't worry, Mr. Schwarzman, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Liang smiled calmly, ended the call, returned to the trading room, summoned Li Junwei, and prepared.

"When the Japanese stock market opens later, it should trigger a Level 3 circuit breaker immediately. We will start buying the dip before the Level 3 circuit breaker is triggered."

After explaining the precautions to Li Junwei, Lu Liang instructed Sun Yutao to reduce the selling pressure appropriately to create the illusion that they had very few chips left.

Wilson sold nearly $600 billion, but Tianxing only sold $428 billion, leaving a position of $547 billion.

Lu Liang dared not tell the truth, partly because he was afraid of scaring them, and partly because he was preparing for the big acquisition plan.

Only by overwhelming them in the foreign exchange market can the plan to acquire the equity of thirteen listed companies be guaranteed to succeed.

Tokyo time, 10:25 AM
The Japanese stock market, which had experienced two circuit breakers and two market closures, has reopened once again.

As Lu Liang predicted, the yen's exchange rate collapsed, and the three major Japanese stock indices also began to fall rapidly.

The Nikkei 225 index fell by 12.14%.

Like playing on a slide, -
14%…17%…19%…

An unprecedented Level 3 circuit breaker is about to be triggered, which will end today's trading ahead of schedule.

2ch is a combination of Baidu Tieba and Weibo, often referred to as 'Second Channel' or "second channel". It has consistently maintained over 50 million monthly active users, and Japanese people frequently discuss various topics on it, including entertainment, politics, and daily life.

At this moment, the financial section of 2ch was silent, like a stagnant pool, with hundreds of thousands of online users remaining silent.

When people are not so desperate, they will make fun of themselves and discuss the future trend of the market. But when despair truly arrives, silence becomes the norm.

The condition for triggering a Level 3 circuit breaker is that the index falls by more than -20%. When the index falls by 20%, it is common for individual stocks to fall by 30% or 40%.

The three consecutive days of positive results, coupled with the hype generated by public opinion, led them to mistakenly believe that Japan was about to emerge from its lost thirty years.

Some people took out their life savings.

Some people use leverage in hopes of getting rich overnight.

Some people have mortgaged their houses and cars, or taken out loans.

Their accounts are now empty, and even negative, which they cannot accept.

Just then, a post appeared out of nowhere: "Friends, don't despair, there seems to be a chance for things to turn around!"

Just as the Nikkei 225 index fell below 16650 points and triggered the Level 3 circuit breaker.

Individual stocks, led by Sumitomo Mitsui and PayPal, suddenly bucked the trend and rose, with individual stocks driving the overall market.

The Nikkei index has just halted its downward trend and there are signs of a potential rebound.

Which institution is pulling out all the stops to support the market?

"If the Japanese stock market can avoid a Level 3 circuit breaker today, from now on, I will be a die-hard fan of that institution."

A ray of light in the midst of despair: Japanese stock market investors seemed to see hope. When the whole world abandoned them, an institution was turning the tide and saving the collapsing empire.

The birth of a ray of hope has made despair no longer despair.

2ch's finance section has become active again, with the number of posts surging at hundreds per second.

Everyone was talking about it,

Soon, people guessed who was supporting the market.

"Sumitomo Mitsui, PayPal Group... Anyone with an IQ over 80 should be able to guess which institution is supporting the market, or more accurately, buying at the bottom."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, as they recalled how Japan's current economic crisis had occurred.

The incident stemmed from Ant Group's transfer of its shares in PayPal Group to Tianxing Financial, which Sumitomo Mitsui disagreed with, causing Lu Liang's dissatisfaction.

If only Sumitomo Mitsui bucked the trend and saw an increase, it could be that the Mitsui Group and Sumitomo Group are making significant efforts.

However, PayPal Group is also boosting the market, so there is only one institution left to rescue the market: Tianxing Financial in Luliang.

"Lord Lu Liang, please save us!" "Blame Mitsui Sumitomo, it has nothing to do with us."

"On behalf of the Japanese market, I unconditionally welcome Tianxing Financial to join us."

"On behalf of the Japanese market, I unconditionally welcome Tianxing Financial to join us."

"On behalf of the Japanese market, I unconditionally welcome Tianxing Financial to join us."

Suddenly, public opinion turned overwhelmingly in favor of Lu Liang, transforming him from a market-shorting monster into a savior.

They haven't forgotten that Lu Liang was the one who started shorting Japan, but so what?
The cabinet ministers remain silent and unable to answer Soros's questions, while local financial institutions have joined the ranks of shorting Japan, wielding their sickles to reap the benefits of their own compatriots.

The only person they can rely on now is Lu Liang.

The Hong Kong market has set an example for them.

Taking the Hang Seng Index as an example, when Lu Liang entered the market, it was accompanied by a sharp drop.

But what about now? The Hang Seng Index has already broken through its historical high and is showing a strong upward trend.

In order to provide a suitable reason for Tianxing Financial's intervention to rescue the market, some investors in Japan even claimed that Lu Liang's short selling of Japan was "forced."

"Liking is restraint, love is possession."

"Lord Lu Liang, you're so domineering! I love it!"

"Lord Lu Liang, don't be too harsh, we can't take it."

"..."

Japanese netizens flooded Lu Liang's Twitter account with comments, and some even personified Tianxing Financial and Japan in comic book style.

One is the male protagonist, and the other is the female protagonist. The story is about a man who loves someone but cannot have them, and ultimately chooses to forcibly possess them.

Lu Liang remained silent for a long time after learning this.

He scratched the back of his head, speechless, and said, "Are all people of their ethnicity this perverted?"

Sun Yutao stole a moment from his busy schedule to look at the comics, barely suppressing a laugh: "A fat man and a little boy, it's not unprecedented."

The US's two testicles shattered Japan's dream of becoming the dominant power in Asia, but that doesn't stop the Japanese from now on doing their utmost to fawn over the US.

This nation is a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The more you bully them, the more they will respect you, and they will even find a suitable reason for you to bully them. This is commonly known as self-adaptation.

"Mr. Lu, should we trigger the Level 3 circuit breaker again?"

Sun Yutao asked, "Shorting Japan has become a mainstream trend, and our bottom-fishing is going against the trend."

Even with $85 billion invested in thirteen companies, the decline was barely halted. To achieve a rebound in the index, several times more funds would be needed.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Stop accumulating shares completely, trigger the three-level circuit breaker in the Japanese stock market, and end today's trading."

The battle over foreign exchange has not yet settled, and it is not advisable to push up the Nikkei index now, as this could easily trigger a domino effect.

Sun Yutao responded.

The moment they stopped, the Nikkei index lost support, triggering a level-three circuit breaker, falling -20.05% and ending today's trading prematurely.

at the same time,

The USD/JPY exchange rate also broke through 136 yen.

Wall Street institutions also began preparing to close their positions. Their withdrawal price was 140 yen. In order to avoid losing their profits, they needed to push the exchange rate up to 143 yen, leaving a 3-yen margin for maneuver.

But as time went on, Wilson became increasingly puzzled.

Logically speaking, since Tianxing Financial has already withdrawn, there shouldn't be any larger short sellers in the market than them.

They should be in charge of the market's direction, but every decision they make is slightly hesitant, unlike the smooth sailing they used to have when they dominated the market.

After a moment of contemplation, Stephen Schwarzman suddenly glared at us and roared in a low voice, "That bastard Lu Liang must still have a lot of cash on hand, just to restrain our actions and prevent us from influencing the direction of the Japanese stock market."

"Is that possible?" someone asked.

Lu Liang's holding of a large amount of heavy assets is beneficial for them to target in the future, which is why they agreed to Tianxing Financial's investment in those companies and will not interfere.

Lu Liang's actions were clearly unnecessary.

“It’s possible,” Wilson said. Having dealt with Lu Liang for several years, he knew all too well how paranoid Lu Liang was.

He never trusts anyone or any promises; he only trusts himself and only takes control of the situation.

Stephen Schwarzman paused for a moment, then added, "There are factors at play, but another factor is that the amount of money Tianxing Financial has invested in the foreign exchange market may far exceed our expectations."

He remained silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly. They must have underestimated Lu Liang's courage, thinking that now that he had become powerful, he wouldn't be as prone to going all in as before.

If we follow Lu Liang's usual operating style, he would have to invest at least one-third of the $2800 billion cash flow, which is $933 billion.
