Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

The Lion King animated film was just a small investment, and Zhang San didn't take it seriously. But judging from the feedback, the other side did a good job.

He has something more important to do: go to Sing Tao Daily and reap another wave of profits from the Nikkei 225. After the last round of profits, the Nikkei 225 bottomed out and rebounded, rising from over 28000 points to over 30,000 points.

During this period, the retail investors in the island nation began to rejoice again, feeling that this was just a dip, and the profit-taking in the early stage was not the end, and that it would rise back to the high point.

"This is to weed out those who are not determined, and leave behind only those who are optimistic about the future of the island nation."

Newspapers in the island nation began to hype it up, claiming that the Nikkei 225 breaking through 40,000 points was not a dream, blah blah blah, the content was arrogant and conceited, showing an arrogance that didn't even put America in their eyes.

Zhang San had encountered this situation before; it was just a trick to keep the retail investors calm and attract others to buy at the bottom. This trick never failed.

Zhang San, once a novice investor, has also fallen victim to scams. In his more than ten years of being a "leek" (a term for inexperienced investors), what hasn't he experienced? Back when the A-shares index was over 6,000 points, he was stuck holding the bag. He tried to buy at the bottom during the rebound, but when it dropped to less than 2,000 points, he got scared and missed the best opportunity to break even. However, by then, he had no capital left.

Now that Zhang San knew the situation, he was determined not to give up; otherwise, he would be letting down his identity as a transmigrator. He could be a coward, he could be a scoundrel, but he couldn't pass up money.

Zhang San's team, which remained at Sing Tao, reported the Nikkei 225 news to him daily. By mid-to-late June, the Nikkei 225 had bottomed out and rebounded again.

He decided to take matters into his own hands and go to Sing Tao to participate in the final short selling.

There will be restrictions in the island nation, so they come to Sing Tao; this is normal, no organization likes to be maliciously shorted.

However, from here in Sing Tao, we can launch long-range attacks on the island nation; when the island nation introduced restrictions on stock index futures, they had already lost the stock index futures market, which meant they had given up the initiative, and it was just bad luck for others to launch long-range attacks on them.

When he arrived in Sing Tao, it was already July; he had prepared $1.5 billion as margin and used ten times leverage to short sell.

"Go all in on shorting."

This time, Zhang San will use one billion US dollars for short selling and five billion US dollars in reserve for unforeseen circumstances. He is still too conservative and doesn't seem like a time traveler at all. The traders are dumping a lot of short positions, but they find that there are other people like them who are also dumping a lot of short positions.

The traders immediately rushed over and reported their findings to Zhang San.

"Ignore them, we'll sell ours, they can sell theirs. The island nation's stock market is doing well right now, so let's speed up our sell-off."

This building belongs to Zhang San. He has stationed a lot of security personnel in the building because he is afraid that someone will interfere with him. In addition, he has prepared a generator here and has also connected an external power line from another place.

Even though others were using the most basic business tactics to attack him, he was still very cautious; and right next to them, several groups of people were frowning as they looked at the recent transaction situation.

"Do you know which company is dumping short positions?"

"It's not clear yet. The short positions are too scattered. We are contacting the person in charge of the institution here and asking them to hand over the data."

The person who spoke first fell into deep thought. It seemed that others, like them, had realized the situation in the island nation and that it might not last much longer, and had also begun to short the market with all their might.

From what he just said, he also deduced some things. It seems that a large number of foreign funds have opened accounts here, and it would be quite difficult to find out who they are. They can only be considered a medium-sized force. Even if they are found out, are they going to go to their door and attack them?

"Forget it, let's stop investigating and get on shorting."

These people, like Zhang San, are also shorting; where there is shorting, there is also longing. The funds participating in the long position this time are from the island nation. Since stock index futures trading is restricted in the island nation, they have come here.

They are staunch bulls, and this time they have invested a large amount of money to short sell.

They were surprised to find that during the strong rebound in the Tokyo stock market, someone was shorting the Nikkei 225 in large quantities, which greatly surprised the person in charge.

There are many zaibatsu (financial conglomerates) in island nations, but only a few are famous, and only a few control the island nation.

They brought a large amount of capital with them this time, and not all of them were going long; one of them was going short.

Just like in the A-share market, when everyone is bullish, there's always a certain institution that shorts it for years.

At this point, going long is advantageous, which is not favorable for institutions like Zhang San that are shorting; however, it is easier to short sell at such times.

At this point, there will be many buyers willing to take over, and they will also enter a bullish mode, then take in a large number of short positions; a typical example of chasing highs and selling lows, the standard trading pattern of retail investors.

Others might waver, but Zhang San wouldn't. He had heard that the Nikkei 225 had fallen to 20,000 points, while it was currently at over 30,000 points and was still rising sharply.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Nikkei 225 didn't fall overnight either.

When Zhang San sold off all his short positions worth billions, the Nikkei 225 also had its last moment of glory, rising to 33177 before starting to fall all the way down.

After the traders dumped billions of dollars worth of short positions, the Nikkei 225 finally started to plummet, and it just wouldn't stop.

By the end of July, Zhang San had the 500 million reserve fund used for short selling. Some people wanted to gamble on this and see if they could profit from the chaos.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated.

This decline is completely irreversible. There may be some minor rebounds at the beginning, but the market will continue to fall to around 20200 points.

Just like last time, Zhang San couldn't close his position at that time; if he shorted at the peak and went long at the low, he would maximize his profits; although this is theoretically true, in reality, reality doesn't accept theory.

While Zhang San was focusing all his efforts on shorting the Nikkei 225, something big was happening at Cisco on the other side.

Sandra, one of the founders, is being ostracized by all the management and has become hysterical; because of her emotional state, her marriage to another Cisco founder has also come to an end.

John, having paid the money, immediately received news about Cisco from his informant, which made him realize that the opportunity his boss wanted was about to appear.

He contacted Zhang San, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, and reported the situation. By then, it was already August.
