Chapter 244 The Big Killer in Tao Xi's Hand

From 1985

The national sentiment throughout Japan is particularly high, and products printed with "Made in Japan" are all over the world.

Sony bought Columbia Pictures for $34 billion, and Mitsubishi bought the Rockefeller Building for $14 billion.

It's as if the whole world is clearly priced in the eyes of Japanese entrepreneurs.

Not even the [Plaza Accord] could stop them, and stock prices soared again, and house prices rose again.

When Hollywood's Columbia Pictures was acquired by Sony, and Universal Pictures was acquired by Panasonic, the national sentiment throughout Japan soared into the sky.

Even Time Magazine started to build momentum for Japan, publishing a cover of "Tiger Tiger Tiger".

On the cover is a picture of an airplane throwing Japanese appliances and cars down over the United States.

"Actually, Toshiba's counterattack is easy to understand. Although Toshiba has already been on the US sanctions list, but a dead camel is bigger than a horse. They are a century-old Japanese company."

Old West took Toshiba's financial report seriously and analyzed Toshiba's current situation to Tao Xi.

But Tao Xi was absent-mindedly holding a check-in list of [MGM Otaru International Hotel] in a daze.

Since he came back from America this time.

Jr. Morgan not only gave up his entanglement with silver futures, but also brought a financial team of nearly 40 people to Japan and stayed at the MGM Hotel!

With the arrival of little Morgan~
The group of elites on Wall Street began to flock to them like cats smelling something fishy.

In less than three days, the [Otaru City Hot Dog Airport] built by Tao Xi was full of all kinds of private jets.

If Citibank and Bank of America represent the older generation of American conglomerates, then Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Jim Rogers, who live next door to him, represent the emerging capital of Wall Street.

Seeing the appearance of these names, Tao Xi felt his scalp tingle for a while.

"Tausy?"

"Tausy?!"

"Ah!" Tao Xi realized that Old West was still analyzing Toshiba's affairs beside him.

Seeing Tao Xi's absent-minded appearance, Old West couldn't help persuading him: "Okay! Don't worry about those people, we've had enough food now."

"60% of the outstanding shares of NTT Telecom! That is the largest communication company in Japan."

"As long as you hold the license all the time, then you are the largest shareholder!"

Tao Xi shook his head helplessly when he heard Old West's words.

Don't look at Old West managing such a big mess, but the financial situation of Sunshine Industrial Group is not transparent to Old West at all!

In fact, Tao Xi's predicament now is still due to insufficient money, don't look at him trying to wrestle with the **** outside.

That's because the entire Wall Street knows about Tao Xi's short-selling contract on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. If Tao Xi sells it, it will be nearly 400 billion US dollars in income!

This is $90 billion in the early 370s. Who has such a large amount of liquidity?
But no one knows that Tao Xi bought 30% of NTT's stock when its stock price crashed. With the collapse of the Japanese stock market, Tao Xi took such a big guy into his pocket.

NTT's peak stock price is a guy who can wrestle with Toyota Motor.

Even if it is falling, it is still money.

If Tao Xi acquires NTT, there won't be so many things to stop his footsteps.

But he shorted Toshiba again, which caused a strong rebound from Toshiba. This is not a good thing!
A large amount of Wall Street capital is watching his actions and waiting to buy the bottom. If he withdraws his capital from the fight with Toshiba, won't others be able to test out his depth?
This is the wolf before the tiger.

But Tao Xi was not reconciled to this opportunity. You must know that the Japanese stock index still has more than 13000 points.

Tao Xi clearly remembered that Japan's stock index fell to 7000 points before triggering the real estate bubble in Japan.

Tao Xi in order to maximize the value of the short-selling agreement in his hand.

Now it has been using the money from the Commercial Bank of Panama.

Tao Xi, who was a little bored, walked out of the room and walked towards the restaurant of the MGM Hotel. The restaurant that used to be deserted and quiet is now very lively.

Americans can be seen everywhere, which instantly improves the style of the restaurant a lot.

The entire restaurant was either bankers or entrepreneurs, and there were even some public relations companies who came to the business banquet to hand out business cards in their hands in a hurry.

"Our bank has approved a credit line of 100 million US dollars for you this time. If this order is completed, I guarantee you can be promoted."

Blake, the manager of the investment development department of the Bank of Hawaii, hugged a beautiful beauty and smoked the cigar in his hand without any scruples, chatting with the people from the public relations company in front of him.

When Blake saw Dunn, the manager of the securities department of Citibank, he stood up instantly and approached Dunn. Even though they were all banks, there were differences between banks.

It was evident when Blake dropped his cigar and pushed the woman away from his arms.

While straightening his tie, Dunn said on the phone, "The Japanese stock market picked up a bit when the market was closed today. Do you think it's possible that they made a wrong judgment?"

"Well, I will continue to observe and ask the securities department to speed up financing, so as not to delay my work in Japan."

After seeing Dunn hang up the phone in his hand, Blake immediately approached with a smile on his face: "Dunn, long time no see."

"Oh, damn it! Did I not read the almanac when I went out? How could I meet you, a broom star!" Dunn complained to Blake with a look of disgust and wanted to walk in another direction, but who would have thought of Blake? He took the initiative to hug Dunn's arm and whispered something in his ear.

When Dunn heard Blake's words, he immediately said with disdain: "Do you also think of me as those old men in Texas who were cheated out of their pensions by you? All the sells on the Tokyo Stock Exchange All the empty contracts are in the hands of Panama Commercial Bank!"

The originally harmonious restaurant was instantly attracted by Dunn's scolding.

All the bankers here know in their hearts the truth of what Dunn said!
Some well-informed people even saw the news that members of the Japanese Diet went to the White House to meet with the commander-in-chief last week. What else can they do when they go to the White House at this juncture?
Isn't it because of the short-selling contract in Tao Xi's hand that can buy half of Tokyo?

Since the White House threw out the Plaza Accord in 85, besides sanctioning Japan's top companies, what else does he have to do?

"Bryson, if you really have a short-selling contract on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, I, Bill, will personally invest $1000 million in you!"

As soon as Bill, the securities director of the First Bank of Boston, finished speaking, there was a sound of gasping in the restaurant.

"You Bill is also a partner of Citibank, so you are so stingy?"

"$1500 million! I want the short-selling contract in your hand, Bresson." Peter Peterson walked in from the restaurant with his hands in his pockets, with a cool expression on his face.

Behind Peter Peterson's ass is a mighty financial team.

His female secretary is exceptionally beautiful. Her tall figure and low-luxury suit make her very attractive: "Among the 1 short-selling agreements on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, there is a short-selling agreement worth [-] million US dollars. But the holder of this short-selling agreement is a Japanese named Kazuo Kawada.”

After Peter Peterson heard the secretary's words, he looked around with disdain at his colleagues who were shaking people wildly, and then walked to Breson's place.

"Kawada Kazuo who are you!"

"Mr. Peter Peterson, hello, I've heard of your name a long time ago, I didn't expect to see you from the Blackstone Group here."

Peter Peterson as former Lehman Brothers management.

With his own ability, in just five years, Lehman Brothers, who had been mired in the quagmire, once again stood at the top of Wall Street!
Just when everyone on Wall Street thought that Peter Peterson would formally take over Lehman Brothers as the head, Peter Peterson resolutely left Lehman Brothers.

And successfully helped Shoff Morita acquire Columbia Records. After that, Blackstone Group has successively received investment from large groups such as American insurance giant Prudential, MetLife, General Electric, and General Motors.

Rather than saying that Peter Peterson represents the Blackstone Group, it is better to say that he came to Japan on behalf of European capital to get a share.

On the contrary, the representative of the Bank of Hawaii, Breson, was very calm: "Actually, my best partner is Mr. Dunn, because of Citibank, because Citibank has a lot of influence in Texas."

"But I didn't expect the director of Tangtang's securities department to dislike me so much because of one-sided words."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dunn, in fact, you can meet many of your requirements with this little short-selling contract in my hand."

Dunn looked at Breson opposite him with a livid face.

You must know that if his words are spread today, he may return to the United States and face the accountability of the board of directors!
"Bryson! $2000 million! I voted for your biotechnology!" Dunn basically gritted his molars.

"Thank you, I don't need it."

"I think the black market group is more suitable than your company!"

Bresson, who staged a wave of 30 years in Hexi and 30 years in Hexi, directly took out a piece of white paper less than 5 mm thick from his pocket.

"Kazuo Kawada was a poor student I sponsored at the University of California."

"I hope Mr. Peterson can help me a lot in the days to come!"

The corners of Peter Peterson's mouth curled up slightly. Just as he was about to speak, someone from the watching crowd shouted, "3000 million dollars from the Bank of America!"

Peter Peterson said confidently: "I believe that Mr. Breson must have determined his trading target, I hope you will"

Less than 5 seconds after Peterson was proud, Brayson turned his head and shouted loudly, "Oh? Bank of America is $3000 million. I wonder if anyone here is interested in my contract?"

No one around cared about Peterson's completely collapsed expression, and they all started shouting.

"Heh, Brayson is really blind for not becoming an auctioneer!"

Tao Xi, who watched this scene standing in the exclusive VIP channel, sneered secretly.

"Tsk, you still dare to come here to eat now? Are you not afraid that those people will split you up with knives and divide it into several halves?"

Tao Xi almost jumped when he heard the sudden voice behind him.

Turning around to look, isn't this the little Morgan I met in the coffee shop with him just yesterday!

"How can you get out of here!"

"Isn't it possible to take this elevator when staying in the Presidential Suite of the MGM Hotel?"

"Is this the boss passage?"

Little Morgan hid in the dark with a sneaky face and taunted Tao Xi. Tao Xi turned his head and walked into the restaurant when he saw that Little Morgan was dead.

Just when the contract in Breson's hand was fired to 5000 million US dollars, Tao Xi walked in and snapped his fingers: "Give me a Chinese meal."

Just when everyone was scrambling for it, the voice of calling Chinese food was a bit abrupt.

Brayson's limelight was taken away in an instant, and a group of people shook people crazily again. This is Tao Xi who can buy half of Tokyo!

Who doesn't want the short-selling contract in his hand?

Let's not talk about the extent to which the Japanese National Assembly is greedy for the short-selling agreement in Tao Xi's hand, but isn't it possible to use this short-selling contract to hit any company it wants to hit?
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became a little weird.

Until the quiet restaurant VIP elevator dinged, the first to walk out was Tao Xi's old friend Warren Buffett, followed by Jim Rogers of Quantum Fund, just when everyone thought that the Big Three on Wall Street were about to get together.

But the elevator stopped opening for a long time.

"Tao Xi, long time no see."

"Oh, my God, Mr. Buffett, I just want to have a quiet meal."

Buffett and Rogers smiled and sat on either side of Tao Xi, while Jr. Morgan pretended to be very familiar with Tao Xi and kept beeping beside him.

"Hey, Tausi, do you know that the Japanese Diet went to the White House to ask you to give up the short-selling contract?"

"Well, I don't know."

Little Morgan was not angry when he saw Tao Xi's indifferent expression, but chatted with Rogers beside him: "Uncle Jim, I heard that little Jim is 6 years old, let him come to my house when the time comes."

Jim Rogers drank a glass of red wine and waved his hands with a smile: "I don't want to see your father's dead face!"

While eating what was on the plate, Tao Xi listened to the information from the front line of the White House by the three big bosses in front of him.

All in all, all in all, someone is speaking for him in the White House, and the Japanese National Assembly will definitely find a way to get him if there is no way to deal with Taosi for the time being.

"Does that mean the game has started?"

"I'm interested when you say that. Toshiba has been biting me so hard recently!"

Buffett waved his hand pretending to be relaxed when he heard this: "Toshiba is the company with the least financial talent. You can see if anyone comes to hand you a business card after you leave for a while, then he must be the one behind Toshiba." The trader!"

When Tao Xi heard what Buffett meant, a name gradually appeared in his mind.

Instead, Little Morgan stuffed a note into Tao Xi's pocket with a relaxed expression.

When Tao Xi left, Jim Rogers was the first to say: "Little Morgan, I remember that the relationship between you and Old Shay is not very good!"

Buffett raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed: "Jim, since you didn't choose your partner, then you should enjoy watching the show. After all, after the game, we are all vultures!"
