Countless investors around the world were initially very optimistic about Japanese electronics companies, given their solid high growth figures and continuous record-breaking profits. Countless funds poured into the stocks of these Japanese companies, driving up their prices continuously.
According to the original course of history, the 1980s, which are about to begin, will be the period of Japan's complete take-off and the most glorious moment in its history.
However……
The original trajectory of history was completely altered, or rather, abruptly cut off, by Lin Huowang's series of arrangements.
...
It was late at night in Tokyo.
The headquarters of major Japanese electronics manufacturers were brightly lit, yet eerily silent.
"President...it's been completely removed from shelves in the US..."
"Europe... Europe is starting to follow suit... The BBC just interrupted its news broadcast..."
"The stock price...ADR...ADRs have crashed..."
The next day, at the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The opening bell had just rung, but it sounded like a death knell for all Japanese electronics manufacturers.
On the big screen, the stock codes of all the Japanese electronics giants—Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba—instantly turned a hellish crimson!
-15%!
-20%!
"It's hit the daily limit down! Everything's fucking hit the daily limit down!!"
"Sell! Sell! Sell at all costs!!"
"All the orders from the US are gone! Europe is finished too!"
Our reputation... is completely ruined!
The entire exchange was plunged into apocalyptic panic and wailing.
These Japanese investors never imagined that, at a time when Japan's national strength and economy were booming and its electronics industry was sweeping the global market, such a scandal would be exposed.
What's even more outrageous is, are these Japanese manufacturers incompetent? After these incidents happened, why didn't they address them? Why didn't they try to salvage their image?
The result of this collective outbreak is that it has affected the reputation and honor of the entire island nation!
At Sony headquarters, the legendary chairman Akio Morita watched all this with a deathly pale face.
He muttered to himself:
"Who...who exactly...plotted this conspiracy against our Japanese electronics company?"
"How could he possibly have gotten his hands on that internal memo...?"
"Who is behind this... trying to destroy Japanese manufacturing?"
...
The Savoy Hotel, London.
Lin Huowang calmly hung up the report call from Tokyo.
On television, the BBC's children's channel is airing a new episode of an animated series.
A small, entirely yellow mouse with two red blushes on its cheeks tilted its head and made a clear, crisp sound:
"Pika~Pikachu~!"
"Pokémon from mainland China is so cute!"
"Oh my god! Mom! I want this Pikachu! Can you buy me the same toy?"
"The TV said it's an animated series from China in the East. Could these adorable little Pokémon really exist in that mysterious East? Mom! I want to go to China to see it, I want to go to China to become a Pokémon Trainer..."
"It's so good! Why are there only two episodes? Why can't there be more... Do we have to wait until tomorrow again?"
...
Countless British children were completely charmed by Pikachu on television; no one could resist this adorable sprite.
Lin Huowang gently picked up the black tea, took a sip, and smiled slightly.
Just then, his encrypted satellite phone rang.
On the other end of the phone was the head of his secret financial team in Switzerland.
"boss."
"explain."
"The funds you instructed us to mobilize include the HK$4 billion loan from HSBC Hong Kong, and funds totaling more than HK$2 billion from other accounts, amounting to approximately US$1 billion."
"As per your orders, we used five times leverage, totaling $5 billion, to short sell the stocks and ADRs of 12 Japanese electronics giants, including Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Toshiba, in the New York and Tokyo markets over the past two weeks."
"Just now, US stocks closed, and Japanese stocks hit their daily limit down."
The person in charge was also incredibly excited, having never handled such a large and daring short-selling transaction before.
It can be said that the profit from this transaction alone is enough to make it one of the most remarkable experiences in his financial career.
"Boss...as of now...our accounts show a profit..."
"It has already surpassed... five hundred million US dollars."
Lin Huowang was extremely satisfied with the figure. All his elaborate planning and meticulous design had paid off; now was the time to unleash the full force and reap the rewards.
It's only five hundred million US dollars now...
Lin Huowang said calmly into the phone:
"That's too little. Follow my instructions. The real feast... hasn't even begun yet!"
