Chapter 248 Blowing the horn of counterattack

Tao Xi is a very nostalgic person.

Gerry Lively has always thought so.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that he, a street photographer, can become the CEO of Reuters, one of the world's four major news agencies, at the age of 33 by virtue of being a cameraman for the ABC for a while.

Does Reuters have a high global standing?

As of the end of 1988, Reuters was present in 123 countries around the world. As long as it is news, there is nothing he does not cover. There are about 4 official news sources in the UK every day, but Reuters accounts for 40%.

In addition, the integrated Reuters has the unconditional support of CBS and the newly merged United Press International.

Of the four major international news agencies, Reuters accounts for two.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Reuters is now the strongest news source in 1989.

So when he received the call from Kedry, he wasn't worried at all about whether he could spread the news in the shortest possible time. On the contrary, he was a little worried about whether Japan's economy would collapse because of him!
"News Group 1, distribute the [Japanese Economic Insights] that we have compiled in the shortest possible time, as long as the newspapers and TV stations that have cooperated with us in contributing articles require them to distribute it!"

"News Group 2, let our free media publish all the [Analysis of the Japanese Economic Recession] and [Remarks on the Crash of Japanese Housing Prices] that we have compiled. I will give them 20 minutes to make this news public!"

"News Group 3, connect all the branches in Southeast Asia. If they don't want to set the fire on them in the third month of my arrival, let them use all their strength to build momentum for us!"

"News Group 4."

Gerry Lively dispatched the [Temporary News Team] in Japan in an orderly manner.

Nearly 25000 employees of Reuters around the world also started their work because of his instructions.

Journalists around the world are slowly enveloping all the people like a big net.

"The current sell order is much higher than the buy order in our hands, as if all the stocks are selling in an instant."

"We have a total of 45 blue chip stocks in our hands. Among them, Mitsubishi Manufacturing, NTT Communications, and Toshiba Manufacturing have the most sell orders. These three stocks alone have eaten up nearly 12% of our funds."

Soros frowned and looked at all the data on the big screen of the Tokyo Stock Exchange seriously.

His left middle finger kept tapping on the table to make a sound of "dong dong dong". All the operators and analysts were waiting for Soros' next order with serious faces.

"Give me a copy of the list of holdings held by the Panama Commercial Bank."

One of the analysts handed over the data that had been prepared a long time ago: "Before the market closed, Nagoya Bank plummeted, and the price was basically smashed. Is it possible that Panama Commercial Bank is running out of bargaining chips."

Soros held his own chin with his right hand and thought for a while before answering: "All the positions of the Panama Commercial Bank have bottomed out, and they are withdrawing funds. Maybe they don't have enough money. Go communicate with the Financial Services Agency. Take a look and see how much will be credited in their margin account in the afternoon."

The existence of a short-selling contract actually depends on the amount of the short-seller's margin account.

The amount of short selling is generally 2 times or 4 times the margin, and the huge floating short selling contract of 70 billion US dollars is hung on it, which can be seen by everyone.

All Soros needs to do now is to see if Tao Xi's short-selling contract margin is still sufficient!
If Commercial Bank of Panama conducts [margin entry], it means that his guess must be correct.

"It's been credited! Boss! The other party has credited about 40 billion US dollars, and the people from the Financial Services Agency have already experienced capital!"

After hearing his subordinate's answer, Soros replied proudly to his subordinate: "Okay, ask Mr. Tanaka, how is our preparation for the press conference? Use public opinion to suppress us, as long as we are ready, they will die, and they will definitely be liquidated!"

Ikuji Tanaka looked down at the news reporters from all over the world under the stage and felt a little emotional for a while.

This is the first time since he inherited the Toshiba Group that he stands in front of so many media and speaks out to the world on behalf of his peers in the financial industry in Tokyo!

He was very nervous, they had already won half of this battle!
If this press conference can go so smoothly, then he must be a famous figure in the history books in the future.

"Mr. Soros, the meeting is ready, you can take a look at the speech."

Soros patted Yuji Tanaka on the shoulder with a smile on his face and replied: "Okay, Mr. Tanaka, leave the rest to me. Commercial Bank of Panama is almost unable to withstand it!"

Soros stood in front of the microphone with a smile on his face, feeling the flashes from all directions.

"Well, hello everyone, I believe you have also seen what happened on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today."

"I am very happy to see my fellow countrymen and respected journalists and friends in this foreign country. The stock index broke from 13000 points to 20000 points. I think it is my best answer."

"if."

Before Soros finished speaking, a reporter shouted to Soros on the stage: "Mr. Soros, we all know that the Quantum Fund has developed very well under your management, but can you explain Why did the Japanese stock market, which had continued to rise sharply, fall before the market closed at noon?"

Soros complexion changed slightly.

Yuji Tanaka on the side just wanted to hint to the police to expel the reporter, but Soros stopped him: "Oh? Mr. Wall Street Journal reporter, after all, you know who our enemy is. If I blindly suppress The other party, isn't that too boring?"

As soon as Soros's speech came out, the journalists off the court suddenly went into an uproar.

After all, the international news about [Japan's suppression of Tao Xi] has been kept silent, but when someone actually responded to this matter, these well-informed reporters were all surprised.

"Then Mr. Soros, do you also admit that the Japanese National Assembly could not hold back the protests of the people and illegally detained Mr. Tao Xi? Does this mean that the Japanese National Assembly will suppress foreign investors in some extreme cases? "

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present knew that the reporter was not kind.

This sentence has gone too far. An excellent company can create a "goodwill" based on its own brand and company credibility, and then use the "goodwill" to make loans!
The same goes for countries!
The country's "goodwill" is the best sign to attract foreign investors. If Soros admits this, the stock market will definitely fall when the market opens today without tomorrow!

But Soros shook his head with a smile on his face: "No, no, no! Mr. reporter, I don't think your question should be about the sharp rise of the Tokyo Stock Exchange?"

Just when the reporter was about to ask another question, someone who suddenly appeared behind him dragged him away.

But this scene was filmed by many people. Soros may have strong financial knowledge, but he doesn't live off his lips after all.

The reporter who was dragged away was like a fuse, and many reporters who couldn't hold back asked various questions one after another.

Each of these questions is getting sharper and harder than the other.

Everything revolved around the issue of Japan's "goodwill", and when Soros was in a hurry, a piercing voice shouted: "Everyone, read the news from Reuters, Reuters is tough on the Japanese government! "

Soros turned his head to look at Yuji Tanaka, who was stunned, and a team of policemen who suddenly entered the field rushed in.

"Oh! Fxxk! Do you know what you guys are doing?"

"This is my camera, let it go!"

"Baga! I am a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, and you have violated my rights!"

The random police came in and snatched the cameras and video cameras of these people, and even the NHK reporters who had been standing by the Japanese government were arrested.

Tanaka Yuji blushed anxiously: "Something has happened!"

"whats the matter?"

"Reuters characterized the protest crowd in the Congress as man-made manipulation, and the fact that members of the Japanese Diet colluded with Mitsubishi and Toshiba to manipulate stock prices was exposed!"

When Soros heard this sentence, he only felt the back of his head "buzz".

What a big deal!

It's not that no one knows about the fact that the Japanese government and local chaebols manipulated stocks against Tao Xi, but if someone puts him on the table and says, this is turning over the table and smashing the job!
How dare Reuters?
How dare Tao Xi?
But before Soros could continue to ask, Yuji Tanaka was dragged away by a group of old men.

Soros walked unsteadily to the TV in the trading room, and what just caught his eyes was the headline program [News 24 Hours] of Columbia Television.

The documentary "The Rise and Fall of the Japanese Economy" edited by Reuters is playing on it.

The angle chosen by the documentary is very unique, it is the vision of No.1, and its entrance is cut from the bottom of the Japanese people.

The interviewer first asked passers-by curiously, "How long have you been unemployed?"

A passer-by stood on the side of the street carrying a plastic bottle in a plastic bag and replied: "It's been 7 months, hahaha, I really don't know what's the point of such a parade. I only know that the house price per square meter in Tokyo is almost as high as mine now." annual salary!"

"What industry did you work in before?"

"Trade customs declaration, the current trade market basically changes every day, and the most exaggerated thing is that the house price is getting higher every day. I don't want to work hard anymore."

The screen flashed, and the No.1 reporter interviewed a person again.

"Why did you come to this parade?"

"Heh, I don't have a job. If you come here to participate, you will get money. Why don't I come?"

Every time the screen is switched, a different person will be interviewed.

But the good thing about this interview is that, whether it is good or bad, the Reuters documentary has revealed all the news, instead of all the good ones like NHK.

Right and wrong, all left to the audience in front of the TV to judge.

When the interview was over, the documentary instantly turned into a popular science film. This popular science film not only carefully analyzed Japan's population composition and Japan's population aging trend, but also clearly explained Japan's history.

Soros gritted his molars and yelled at the people around him with a vicious expression: "Oh! Fxxk! Don't you Tanaka conduct public opinion monitoring! Those damned reporters have covered so much news in Japan, how dare you Don't know anything?"

But Yuji Tanaka did not answer him, but kept explaining to the representatives of the group of congressmen. Soros could tell from the expression on his sweating face that Tanaka's situation was not very good.

"Boss, do you have any new plans?"

Soros pondered for a moment, then turned his head and ordered to his analysts: "Call all the analysts and prepare for the afternoon's countermeasures!"

The time has come【1:25PM】

As the news spread, Yuji Tanaka came to Soros with an uneasy expression on his face: "Mr. Soros, I need to communicate with Mitsubishi and Mitsui's family first. They now have the idea of ​​withdrawing their capital."

When Soros heard Yuji Tanaka's answer, he felt smoke in his seven orifices!
If it wasn't for his appearance, how could those idiots take advantage of the time when Tao Xi was being chased and intercepted to go crazy about the real estate in their hands!

"These people really employ people ahead of time, and don't need people to look backward!"

"If you run out of me, don't care about the others? I'm here to fight against the opponent in the name of my Quantum Fund. If I lose, you Japan will also be finished!"

Tanaka Yuji stood there with a puzzled expression, not knowing how to explain it.

In fact, I know about my own affairs. If he hadn't put pressure on Congress to detain Tao Xi in Japan, then the other party would not "turn the table" and put the matter in the eyes of all the people.

The crazy increase in the morning caused nearly 40% of the amount in his hand to be locked up.

If someone wants to divest, then the "Temporary Anti-Taury Alliance" he worked so hard to form may be disbanded, and the few blue chips in his hand will also go bankrupt.

He really didn't expect the opponent's plan to use the media and public opinion to make small investors from all over the world lose their interest in investing in Japan, and then cause the entire Japanese stock market to panic.

If he guessed correctly, investors from all over the world are frantically getting in touch with their private equity brokers to withdraw their investment in Japan!

"Boss, many private equity managers of our Quantum Fund are contacting us about canceling the cooperation!"

Soros didn't care about this. The reason why he was willing to accept Japan's siege against Tao Xi was actually because he also wanted to make a lot of money in the middle.

After all, the Japanese National Assembly has placed the right to use large sums of money in his hands.

The Quantum Fund behind him has made a lot of money. In this morning alone, he has brought the total income of the past three years to the Quantum Fund!

"Okay! We have done what we should do. As for the rest, it depends on the choices of Mr. Tanaka and the people behind him."

Although Soros said so, he is not a person who just sits and waits to die.

After finishing all this, Soros dragged his confidant into an empty corner: "If Yuji Tanaka doesn't come back when the market opens later, throw all the funds into the stock market for me."

His confidant hesitated for a moment: "This is not good."

"Is my Soros reputation that they can step on whenever they want?" Soros snorted coldly with a face of disdain, then turned and walked out of the house.

Cadry Ferre sighed heavily at himself in the mirror after washing his face in the bathroom with a tired face.

Although the time passed so quickly this morning, he felt that he had used up all his energy for the year this morning. If Tao Xi was here, he wouldn't need to be so nervous.

But without Tausi, the future fate of Panama Commercial Bank is entirely in his hands.

If he makes a careless operation, he will be the sinner of the whole group.

When he thought everything was sorted out, he headed over to the restaurant at the MGM because all the Wall Street guests were there and he needed to tell them.

"The trumpet that belongs to Tao Xi's attack will be blown by him!"

Whispering voices are everywhere in the huge restaurant. The difference from the atmosphere in the past is that everyone's eyes are vaguely looking towards the VIP elevator at the door.

"You said they made such a big commotion in such a short time at noon, can someone come over?"

"Didn't you see that the directors of several major companies are here? Citigroup, Boston, Blackstone Group, ****"

"Heh, you said Blackstone Group, I really said I heard something, do you know Bretson of the Bank of Hawaii? His short-selling contract was still taken away by Peterson that day, but Bretson was going to Otaru City Airport There was a car accident on the road!"

The gossip about this person is very good.

Several people at the scene looked at Peterson of the Blackstone Group at the same time. Peterson was also absent-mindedly sitting at the same table with Dunn of Citibank at the moment.

Everyone knows that Tao Xi turned the table today.

They all made a lot of money by relying on the war between the Japanese National Assembly and Tao Xi. The premise is that Tao Xi has no variables here. what.

"Dun, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Wells Fargo's shareholders, haven't you tried to communicate with him?"

Dunn turned his head and glanced at Peterson and replied impatiently: "This time Tao Xi didn't open his mouth to cooperate with Wells Fargo, and he has sufficient funds in his hand. If you believe it, I suggest that you better talk to Wells Fargo this afternoon. Tao Xi stands together!"

"The whole Wall Street is waiting and watching, just because you say a word, I will give up?"

Peterson curled his lips in disdain, and just when Dunn was about to ask something, the VIP elevator dinged.

Cadry Ferre walked out of the elevator with a refreshed face.

Peterson walked towards Cadry without waiting for Dunn to react. There were not a few people at the scene who thought the same as Peterson.

He bowed slightly to these people: "It seems that gentlemen are very confident in the financial situation of Panama Commercial Bank?"

"Although Panama Commercial Bank's confidentiality code of conduct is very strict, the prince of the Emirate of Dubai is one of the largest private equity investors in our Blackstone Group."

"I'm amazed by Mr. Tao Xi's talent in business, and I'm also very envious of Mr. Tao Xi's generous touch."

"So, for the sake of my investors and my boss, I think standing with you this afternoon is the best choice for our Blackstone Group!"

Peterson's remarks did not avoid others.

Cadry Ferre is not afraid of being listened to by others. He came here this time to tell the Wall Street bigwigs present that they will not only fight back in the afternoon, but also let them join in!
Cadry Ferre is no nonsense either.

He directly stepped on a table and opened the [Capital Verification Certificate] in his hand to everyone.

"This is the proof of margin capital verification that we just injected into the Tokyo Stock Exchange!"

"Everyone here must want to see our short-selling contracts being liquidated, and you may be disappointed."

Cadry Ferre glanced at the time [1:50PM]: "Now there are only 10 minutes left before the opening of the market, I hope everyone here can seriously consider whether to continue to fight against us in the afternoon. "

"We will reserve 10 minutes for everyone to sell stocks, and these 10 minutes happen to be the time when Soros tried his best to stabilize the stock price."

"2:10 is the time for us to cash out the short-selling contract!"

Cadry Ferre's words are an open conspiracy, not to mention that another founder of Quantum Fund was also present.

Soros can choose not to believe his words, he can choose not to absorb all the sell orders in the stock market, but then the Japanese stock market will plummet, and the good situation he created in the morning will be lost.

Soros can also choose to believe that maybe the funds in the hands of the Panama Commercial Bank will be withdrawn quickly, and these Wall Street elites will also be able to flee quickly!

The current Tokyo stock market is a game of "drumming and passing flowers".

The last person to accept the order is the loser, but no one knows whose hands the "flower" is passed on and the drum will be broken!

Cadry Ferre left with a frank face, followed by a group of Wall Street elites headed by Peterson Blackstone Group.

The scene where Soros originally planned to isolate Tao Xi was so self-defeating!

People's hearts are often the most complicated. In fact, the financial game is not about capital flow, but people's hearts!

Time passed by, and the number of guests in the MGM Hotel restaurant became less and less, and everyone left with a sense of concern, but the VIP elevator never stopped working after leaving Kaidry.

However, an uninvited guest was ushered in at the door of Tao Xi who was locked in the detention center.

The policeman in the detention center explained to the distinguished guest who got off the business bus with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Tao Xi is still sleeping. We have called him many times, but he didn't respond. Why don't you see."

This distinguished guest stopped the secretary who was trying to rush into the solitary cell to wake Tao Xi: "If you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. We just wait here!"

"But."

　Hahahaha, bosses, I recommend Ao!
