He slashed the price to $10, a price so low that even the US government felt it was "falling too fast"!
The speed of this plunge has already damaged "market stability"!
Therefore, Kobayashi Tenno's counterattack was tacitly approved!
He... he even took into account the mindset of the US regulators!
"A devil...he's a devil..."
Prices are still rising!
$21.00!
$22.00!
$25.00!
The account of the "British-owned short-selling alliance".
"+200 million US dollars..."
"+100 million US dollars..."
"0!"
Profits have gone to zero!
They worked hard and took huge risks, shorting the price all the way down from $35, with the average price now around $25.
They reported it! They celebrated! They popped champagne!
Finally, within a short hour.
Everything, back to zero!
"It's over..."
Swire collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "It's all over..."
"No..." Madden clung to the last glimmer of hope, "We haven't lost money! We just... we just didn't make any..."
They hadn't finished speaking.
The price was skipped by $25.
Heading towards $30!
On the account of the "British-funded short-selling alliance," the green profits have turned into a glaring blood red!
"-100 million US dollars..."
"ah!!!"
Swire and Madden both let out a scream at the same time!
We've started losing money!
They've started losing their principal!
"It's over..."
Niu Bijian slumped against the sofa, his eyes vacant.
"We...we're really finished..."
...
Villas in Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Island.
Fok Ying-tung and his son Fok Chun-ting were also witnessing this historic moment.
"dad……"
Huo Zhen clenched his fists tightly.
"It's 20 yuan now... 25 yuan now!"
"Kobayashi... he wasn't defending... he was... slaughtering!"
Huo Yingdong sat in the armchair, his hands trembling.
But it was a trembling of excitement.
He slammed his hand on the table!
"good!"
"What a brilliant idea to 'drive up the price'!!"
Huo Yingdong has spent his entire life navigating the business world, encountering countless geniuses and ruthless figures!
But there has never been anyone like Kobayashi Tenno!
In such a desperate situation, when the world's giants are helpless, he not only manages to turn the tide, but he also plans to overturn the table!
"Daddy!"
Huo Zhen was quite excited as he calculated.
"Our 'First Legion' had an initial main force cost of around 13 yuan! Now the price is... 25 yuan!"
"We've broken even! And...we've started making money!!"
"Our long positions... have already seen a profit of over 100%!"
No! It's not just that!
Huo Zhen shook his head violently, his breathing becoming rapid.
"We still have...we still have that billion dollars!"
"That 1 billion US dollars was just a margin call made on top of the 10 yuan deposit!"
"That $1 billion...now...now it's become a 'long' position!!"
"My God... just this $1 billion position, the unrealized profit is almost... 220%!!"
"This... how long has it been? An hour? They earned 2.2 billion US dollars in just one hour?!"
Huo Zhenting was stunned by this number.
He then understood why his father said that those who work in manufacturing will always look down on those who work in finance.
The speed at which they're making money is beyond "robbery".
This is practically "printing money"!
Huo Yingdong slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night view of Victoria Harbour.
He knew that Fok Chun-ting's calculations were still too simplistic.
"Zhen Ting".
"Remember this."
"What Kobayashi wanted in this battle... was never to 'get out of trouble'."
"He doesn't want those multiple times the profit."
"he……"
An unprecedented glint flashed in Huo Yingdong's eyes:
"What he wants is to break Jardine Matheson, and all British-owned conglomerates... their backbone!"
"What he wants are the 'foreign firms' in Newbie's hands, the 'docks' in Swire's hands, and the 'real estate' in Madden's hands!"
"This battle is not just about money."
"This is going to lead to a complete...change of government in Hong Kong!"
...
COMEX, Trading Floor.
The prices are absolutely insane!
$25.00!
$26.00!
$27.50!
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Club.
On the account of the "British-funded short-selling alliance," those blood-red numbers have become a "doomsday" judgment!
"-100 million US dollars..."
"-300 million US dollars..."
"-500 million US dollars!!"
"-800 million US dollars!!"
"ah!!!"
Swire and Madden went completely mad; they pounced on Newbikini like two mad dogs.
"Niu Bijian! Stop! Make him stop!"
"Our money! Our money is bleeding!"
"This is Swire's money! This is Standard Chartered's money!!"
"You liar! Didn't you say it was foolproof?!"
Niu Bijian pushed them away; he knew he had no way out.
He was the taipan of Jardine Matheson, a knight of the British Empire!
He can't lose!
He can't afford to lose!
His heart was screaming wildly:
