"President Kobayashi! You absolutely can't do that!"
The chief financial officer even knelt on the ground, wailing, "Convert all the funds into yen? And then leverage it five times to go long? This is pure seppuku!"
"The current market clearly shows a strong dollar! The yen has been depreciating! With such a powerful military, how could the US possibly agree to let the dollar depreciate?"
“If we do this, and the dollar rises another 20%, we'll be wiped out! The entire Longteng Group's business in Japan will be destroyed!”
"President! Please reconsider! Who gave you this advice? This is nothing short of a madman gambling irrationally!"
Despite her subordinates' desperate cries and pleas, Keiko Kobayashi remained unmoved.
How can a summer insect discuss ice?
She simply gazed quietly at the bustling Tokyo nightscape outside the window, watching the crowds still celebrating "Japan's Number One," a flicker of pity inadvertently crossing her eyes.
However, when she turned around again, her eyes were filled with determination.
She directly took out a fax instruction from the drawer, which had Lin Huowang's handwritten signature.
There was only one word on it—【Kill!】
"Shut up, all of you."
Keiko Kobayashi glanced at her noisy subordinates, gave a dismissive smile, and then bluntly announced her final decision to them:
"Let me emphasize again. This is not a risky gamble. This is a divine decree I received. You simply follow the orders."
Anyone who dares to cut corners during the execution process, or leak even a single word, will be shown just how cold the waters of Tokyo Bay are.
"Ha...hai!"
These Japanese executives were also terrified by Keiko Kobayashi's sudden outburst.
They dared not utter another word.
They had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Keiko Kobayashi's crazy instructions, pouring all their massive funds into what they considered a suicidal gamble.
...
September 22, 1985.
This day has great historical significance and was later directly written into world economic history textbooks.
The finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, Japan, West Germany, France, and the United Kingdom held a formal, secret meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
After the conference, the five countries jointly issued the Plaza Accord, which would become famous in later generations.
This agreement is long and complicated, but its core content is only one: to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and begin to gradually induce the orderly depreciation of the US dollar against major currencies.
The moment this news was released, global financial markets were in an uproar!
no way!
Financial markets are a barometer of the global economy and are extremely sensitive to all kinds of true and false information in the market.
Even the slightest disturbance is enough to cause waves in the financial markets.
Not to mention, this was the result of a meeting jointly conducted by several authoritative major powers.
This naturally triggered a tsunami in the entire global financial market.
On September 23, as soon as the foreign exchange market opened, the previously incredibly strong US dollar plummeted like a kite with a broken string!
On the other hand, the Japanese yen, like a beast that has been suppressed for a long time, has begun to rise wildly!
In just one day, the yen surged 5% against the dollar!
Within just one week, the increase exceeded 20%!
Those who were initially mocking the "Tianwang Group's" series of baffling moves were instantly crushed by the Wall Street short sellers who were essentially committing suicide, losing everything.
Meanwhile, Keiko Kobayashi, sitting in her Tokyo office, was also incredibly nervous.
She didn't have Lin Huowang's ability to foresee the future; she simply trusted him unconditionally.
When she looked at the almost vertically upward red candlestick chart on the screen, and then at the rapidly increasing numbers in her account, she finally felt a wave of relief wash over her and completely relaxed.
We won...
They really won again!
In just one week, the unrealized profit of "Tianwang Fund" has exceeded 23 billion US dollars!
And as long as the yen continues to appreciate, this number will continue to grow!
"Lin Huowang..."
Keiko Kobayashi gently clutched her chest, her eyes filled with adoration as she murmured to herself, "You really are like a god."
In this financial battle, later known as the "Great Japanese Yen Appreciation Robbery," the Japanese lost completely, not only in terms of a large amount of capital in the financial market, but also in terms of their export competitiveness and the "Lost Thirty Years" to come.
Yes!
From the lost decade to the lost twenty years, and now with Lin Huowang's further intervention and opportunistic exploitation, it is definitely the lost thirty years.
Americans are naturally winners as well, at least they have greatly alleviated their domestic deficit crisis.
After all, once chickens are raised and fattened up, they're meant to be slaughtered and eaten!
After eating a Japanese chicken, America can enjoy many more years of glory.
...
The Lin Family Courtyard in Beijing.
When the final battle report reached China, Liao Gong was ecstatic when he saw the numbers.
Three hundred and seventy billion US dollars? And that's just the current net profit?
"Huowang, this...this is so much money, how are we going to spend it? This could buy several Boeing companies!"
"Buy a Boeing?"
Lin Huowang smiled and said with a hint of disdain, "Boeing stuff, you can buy it with money. But I'm going to use this money to buy something... something that they won't sell to us even if they offer us money."
