After a ten-minute talk with Bush's aides, a $780 million refined oil deal was reached.

This is the Brooks family business; the money will end up in his pocket.

As for the business that will follow, there will be quite a lot of deals, which will be for purchasing products from companies that support his camp.

As for the obstacles Xing Baohua encountered in Japan, is that a big deal?

It's just letting Old Bush say a few words, right? He's always spouting nonsense, that's his daily routine!

The two planned that when Nikon's stock price broke through 10,000 yen, Old Bush would, at an appropriate time, discuss legislation to increase tariffs on certain products and ban their sale.

It's definitely not just one company that's treating it this way; it will affect many companies. It's just that Old Bu will single out Nikon as an example.

This is a typical difference; it's easy for anyone with eyes to see that Old Bu is unhappy with Nikon.

Regardless of whether the Japanese protest or file a complaint, what will happen to Nikon's stock, which just broke through 10,000 yen?

It gushed out!

Shorting at the peak is incredibly profitable; during a downtrend, retail investors panic and sell indiscriminately. They'll sell even at a loss, hoping to recover even a small amount.

Xing Baohua would buy as much as there was, and the more the price fell, the greater his short-selling profits would be, which he would then use to offset the losses he incurred from acquiring stocks.

When the price is leveled off, it's like buying and selling shares in Nikon stock – the more shares Xing Baohua holds, the more dominant his position becomes.

What happens when the number of shares in circulation decreases and they become illiquid?

A shareholders' meeting will definitely be held, and Xing Baohua can take this opportunity to formally enter Nikon's board of directors through a shareholding increase.

If there are too few shares in circulation, then increase the number of shares issued. Increasing the number of shares requires capital support, so as long as you're not afraid of diluting your shares, then go ahead and throw money in.

Xing Baohua certainly wouldn't dilute or reduce the proportion of the shares he had worked so hard to acquire.

On the contrary, they can use this capital increase to increase their shareholding ratio.

It's like playing Texas Hold'em. I bet double, I bet triple, will you bet or not?

If you're scared, don't follow! Just throw your cards away. If anyone calls, they've fallen for a trap.

It's all about playing dirty tricks on your opponents, like psychological warfare, making everyone think you have a strong hand, maybe even a triple.

In fact, Xing Baohua only had one a.

This 'a' was borrowed.

Therefore, you can't just bite off more than you can chew; you need to find a hammer.

Now we're just waiting for the stock price to reach that level.

At the same time, Xing Baohua instructed the traders to activate the backup account and begin raising funds.

Xing Baohua's fund transfers could not be kept secret from Mitsui Bank.

A large amount of money entered the activation account through Mitsui Bank, which immediately alerted everyone. They began to notify all parties that Xing Baohua was planning something big, and everyone should be careful.

What's the purpose of setting up an account?

They must have guessed that this guy was going to use another trick to drive down the stock price and then use activated accounts to buy it. Xing Baohua has done this twice before, is he doing it again?

No matter how you try to suppress me, I'll still use the same old tactics.

To their surprise, those activated accounts placed short orders, and at a price just a fraction of a yen above that.

It's only around 6,000 points now, how did it even manage to get listed? Are you kidding me?

Is this person insane or what? How can anyone be so stupid?!

If you don't touch the short position, it won't be filled.

Once a transaction is completed, it becomes a direct transaction between the brokerage firm and the client, rather than with individual investors.

The brokerage firm simply borrowed the shares held by shareholders or investors as collateral.

Xing Baohua's short selling is merely a virtual tactic, an invisible numbers game that simply shifts the pressure onto securities firms.

However, brokerages use the shares pledged by shareholders or investors to offset their own losses based on the decline in market prices. In this way, the brokerages essentially shift the losses onto the shareholders, causing them to suffer substantial losses.

This is the game of finance.

Mitsui Bank was stunned when they saw the number of shares shorted: thirteen million shares, equivalent to more than one million lots of stock. That's a lot of money!

It essentially swept away the value of the stocks in the circulating pool.

At over six thousand yuan a share, it's still a long way from reaching a value of ten thousand yuan.

The daily orders are cleared out; even if you ride a rocket, it's impossible for the price to rise by about 4,000 yuan in a single day!

Clearly, this is Xing Baohua issuing some kind of warning.

But it's ridiculous to leave such a huge order lying there.

Not only were the Japanese soldiers dumbfounded, but even their own people were stunned. How could such a thing be possible?

Xing Baohua didn't give the experts and traders any room to think. He just told them to do everything they could to drive the stock price up to 10,000 yen. They would then be credited with a huge bonus or even a share of the profits.

Okay! Manipulating stock prices, that's something they're good at too.

The problem is, even if the price goes up, it won't come down, and your 13 million short positions will be liquidated.

Ten thousand yen is equivalent to more than one hundred and fifty US dollars, and more than ten million shares are equivalent to nearly one billion US dollars.

If I get liquidated, I guess the biggest idiot in history will emerge.

To leave a mark on history in this way is quite unique.

A foreign expert from Wall Street personally came to Xing Baohua and asked, "Boss, this will attract wolves from Wall Street, and a large amount of international speculative capital will also enter. Even if the price goes up, it won't come down, and your billion dollars will be wasted."

"How can we bring the stock price down?"

"Bomb JD.com."

Xing Baohua shook his head and said, "I'm not a terrorist. What good would it do me to blow it up? Do you think the wolves of Wall Street will come, and international speculative capital will return? Will that drive up the stock price?"

"Yes! I'm sure your bait is tempting enough that everyone would want a bite. This isn't just delicious food, it's a sumptuous dinner!" After saying that, he also thought of a bad idea and quickly took out his phone to make a call.
