"Raise interest rates! We can no longer have zero interest rates!"
"Longguo has exchanged stock market data among the three places and launched so many technology companies on the market. The purpose is to siphon global funds. If we don't respond actively, The domestic economic system may be completely destroyed."
"We cannot let the financial crisis happen again. We must raise interest rates and withdraw investment funds!"
"Raise interest rates, there is no time. ! ”
The island nation of Tokyo.
The scene of a temporary meeting.
There were 21 people present, 17 of them were shouting for interest rate hikes. They were extremely emotional, and the identities of these people were not simple. They were the people at the top of the financial pyramid in the island country. They can be understood as think tanks. group.
The Japanese yen’s zero interest rate, or negative interest rate, is the method they came up with in order to stimulate the economy and consumption.
It is precisely because of the adjustment of interest rates that the economy of the island country is still in a relatively stable state after many twists and turns.
Their calls to raise interest rates are not random, but well thought out.
There is no need to explain too much when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and creates a tide of US dollars. In the past two years, except for the United States, other countries in the world have entered a state of economic deflation.
The financial reform of Long State will be a "devastating" blow to other countries, including the United States.
Why do you say that?
There is a total amount of hot money in the world.
Due to the U.S. dollar interest rate hike, most of the hot money is earning interest in U.S. banks, or earning more profits in U.S. stocks.
Now that Longguo has not only exchanged stock market data among the three places, it has also launched today's leading technology company, Longxing Group. Will international capital let go of this rare investment opportunity?
High probability, no!
This is like sports betting for football matches.
Suppose the Dragon Country Football Team and the Argentina Football Team play a friendly match. The sports lottery also happens to include this match and gives an odds of 2 to 1. Fans who know about penalty kicks will still Can you control it?
Obviously.
No one can control it.
Forget the fans, even passers-by who don’t watch football know that there is no comparison between the Dragon Country football team and the Argentine football team. The two are not on the same dimension.
The same is true for investing in Longxing Group. Even if we don’t mention chips, we only need to mention the benefits brought by Thor solid-state batteries and 5G high-speed networks. Longxing Group already has super high investment value.
The most important thing is that this listing is not just Longxing Group, but also the leading drone company Frontier Technology, the leading short video company ByteDance, and established technology companies. Kunpeng Company.
One after another, Longguo has made it clear to the world that the current Golden Dragon Technology Index is the Nasdaq Index ten years ago. As long as international funds dare to invest, it will definitely be possible. Get considerable profits.
The chairperson of the conference room, Kimura Kojiro, who is in his fifties, has a dark complexion and dense wrinkles on his cheeks, is very entangled in his heart. He has been pressing the pace of raising interest rates.
The consequences of the Japanese yen's sudden interest rate hike will cause a financial tsunami.
Whether it is the "Mrs. Watanabe" of the island country or the "Mrs. Watanabe" of other countries, these people borrowed a large amount of yen to invest so that the island country would not suffer from inflation.
If the United States responds to inflation by raising interest rates to allow money in the market to flow back to banks, then the island nation's response to inflation is zero interest rates.
Of course.
This tactic was unintentional.
The original intention of island countries to engage in zero interest rate or negative interest rate lending was to stimulate people’s consumption and increase capital liquidity.
Who would have thought that there was a "Mrs. Watanabe" so smart that she would take out loans to invest overseas, cross the class gap in one fell swoop, and even share the method with her friends.
It is precisely because of the huge amount of overseas investment that island countries dare not raise interest rates rashly.
If it is announced that the Japanese yen will raise interest rates, the investment loans of "Mrs. Watanabe" will inevitably flow back. Once the funds flow back, there will not be enough goods to take over, which will easily cause inflation.
“The Japanese yen interest rate hike is too involved. We cannot rely solely on our wishes. We must first ask for the opinions of the United States.” After careful consideration, Kimura Kojiro responded to everyone.
“The United States will definitely not agree!”
“They can’t agree. Our interest rate increase is equivalent to helping the Dragon Country withdraw their funds. Not only cannot the United States be informed of this matter, but also We must advance secretly!"
"Yes, we must not tell the United States!"
"The Japanese yen interest rate hike is imminent. If there is a slight delay, our domestic economy may be in catastrophe, you Kimura Kojiro Want to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history? ”
When everyone objected, a vigorous man in his thirties stood up and pointed his sword at Kimura Kojiro.
Everyone in the conference room actually knew in their hearts that Kimura Kojiro was a lackey supported by the United States. His purpose was to control the yen interest rate and facilitate the harvest of the United States.
When the U.S. dollar tide first began, why did Japan watch itself being harvested by Wall Street in the United States without taking any measures to rescue the market?
Very simple.
Koujiro Kimura is pressing down.
Even though European countries are raising interest rates, he will not let the Japanese yen raise interest rates.
“You!” Kimura Kojiro was about to get angry, but he glanced around and found that everyone around him was glaring at him.
Hate.
Angry.
Killing intent.
Kimura Kojiro felt threatened by death.
In less than two years, the economic status of the island country has changed from inflation to deflation. A large number of investors have become "flying", and Kimura Kojiro is the driving force behind this.
“It’s not too late to raise interest rates.”
At this time, someone came out to smooth things over.
The person who reconciled the situation was a fat man. His arms alone were as thick as Kimura Kojiro's legs, and his face was even more fleshy.
His name is Miyazaki Hideki. He is one of the top four figures in this 21-person meeting and has a certain say.
“Not bad.”
“Indeed.”
Two more people agreed.
Kimura Kojiro looked around and realized that he had no say in this meeting. These people were asking him to abdicate.
"Okay, okay!" Kimura Kojiro stood up, glanced at everyone and said, "Then I'll go, you can make your own decision."
"Slow!"
Miyazaki Hideki suddenly spoke.
Next second.
Several muscular men in suits broke into the conference room and came directly to Kimura Kojiro's side, controlling his arms one on the left and the other on the right.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Kimura Kojiro roared angrily.
Miyazaki Hideki looked serious, looked at the other people in the conference room and said: "The content of this meeting must be kept highly confidential, so I am grateful to President Kojiro and everyone for staying."
The Japanese yen's interest rate hike is of great importance, and any leakage of the news may put the island country in disaster. They must take it by surprise.
"In that case, I am willing to cooperate."
"I am also willing to cooperate."
"I am also willing, but I have a question, that is, how much will the interest rate increase?"
< br>When asked how much to raise interest rates, other people in the conference room did not look at Hideki Miyazaki. In fact, they all knew that Hideki Miyazaki was just a pawn being pushed out, and it was a man who really let him express his opinion. One girl, named Sohei Tanigawa and Shizuko Watanabe.
This is a bit like the head teacher and dean of school, who are usually fierce and cold-faced, taking care of this and that.
But do they really want to take care of it?
Not necessarily!
It’s just that someone proposed it, such as the principal, and they strictly implemented it.
Not only in schools, but also in many companies, the HR directors are vicious and mean, but this is the task of their position, because it is impossible for the boss to be a bad person, they can only be handed over to the people below.
Miyazaki Hideki also knew this, and looked at the man and woman.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Tanigawa Sohei coughed twice and said: "My plan is to raise interest rates to 3%, and then gradually increase it to 5%, giving speculators around the world a transition period."
Watanabe Jingzi nodded and said nothing.
The current Japanese yen interest rate is zero. If it is directly increased to 3%, it is expected that US$70 billion of funds will flow back. However, if it is increased to 5%, a conservative US$150 billion will flow back.
Tanigawa Sohei and Watanabe Shizuko discussed the consequences privately. Although this time it was a bit of a backstab to the United States, they did not want to be too harsh. If it was increased to 5% all at once, a large amount of "Mrs. Watanabe's" funds would definitely be When panic arises, even if the hot money in the United States is not sucked away by the Chinese stock market, it will be sucked back into the country by the interest rate hikes in the Japanese countries.
There is a saying in the Long Kingdom: Leave a ray of hope in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future, and let overseas funds slowly flow back. Hello, me, and everyone.
“With a direct increase of 3%, wouldn’t this value be a bit high?”
“Yes, it feels a bit high.”
“How about 1 %?”
“I think it is best to give a transition period of 1% and then gradually increase it.”
Some people think that 1% is too radical. , I didn’t expect that the starting value was 3%, and the final value was 5%, which exceeded many people’s expectations.
"1% is too little. Don't underestimate Longxing Group's ability to attract money and realize liquidity. We would rather have inflation than deflation."
Watanabe Shizuko made a strong statement.
Island countries have experienced inflation several times and already have experience in dealing with it.
But if they fall into severe economic deflation, they will be miserable, because the island country is famous for its poor land resources, and coupled with the decline in the export market of industrial commodities, they have no ability to cope with deflation and can only inflate. Direction guidance.
"That's right."
Tanigawa Sohei agreed and said: "We must give enough benefits, otherwise the domestic funds will go to the Longguo market. This It’s not good for us.”
After the two people’s explanations, everyone present had no opinions.
After the meeting, they were all "forced" to stay, their mobile phones were confiscated, and they were not allowed to contact anyone outside.
But Miyazaki Hideki was too obese and had to take medicine to control his three highs. He got an opportunity to make a phone call, but there was a dedicated person monitoring the call.
“Dududu——”
After a few busy signals, the call was connected.
“I’m going to stay here at work for a few days. I have something important to do. Chunhui, please have my insulin, nifedipine, and hydrochlorothiazide tablets delivered. Oh, by the way, nutritional supplements and Bring the blood glucose meter as well."
As soon as Miyazaki Hideki finished speaking, Miyazaki June immediately responded: "I understand, I will send it to you right away."
"Okay, that's it, hang up the phone."
"Thank you." "Not hard."
As the phone hangs up, people around The monitoring staff did not find any abnormalities. After all, Miyazaki Hideki was talking about the necessary drugs and equipment for a three-high patient.
However, on the other side of Miyazaki Sumue, she began to think about Miyazaki Hideki's words.
"Insulin, nifedipine, hydrochlorothiazide tablets, nutritional supplements and blood glucose meter..."
About three minutes passed, and she paused when she thought of Miyazaki Hideki, mentioned earlier Three kinds of medicine, the last two...
"First 3%, then 2%?"
Miyazaki Sumie quickly wrote it down.
The moment before his superiors called Miyazaki Hideki to hold an emergency meeting, he called Miyazaki Sumie to discuss the transmission of the code.
Because he knew very well that as soon as the Dragon Kingdom made a big move, a meeting was held here, probably to deal with the big country next door.
At present, the only way for island countries to deal with the "siphon" is to raise interest rates.
After clarifying this information, he made an agreement with Sumie Miyazaki to pay attention to the messages on his phone and look for clues about the rate of interest rate increase.
When Miyazaki Hideki was on the phone, he deliberately mentioned only three medicines, and then mentioned nutritional supplements and blood glucose meters in a staccato manner. The meaning was obvious.
3% and 2%, 3% comes first and 2% comes last, then it can only be 3% first, and then add 2% in the future, and finally the interest rate increase will be 5%.
After Miyazaki Sumie guessed the meaning, she sent the information directly to Chen Xing through the encrypted mailbox without any hesitation.
……
And at the same time.
The United States on the other side of the ocean.
Due to the time difference, although it has already entered the early morning in Long Kingdom, the time here is noon, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds in the sky.
In the top-floor office of the Federal Reserve Headquarters Building, Davich took a puff of his cigar and said lightly: "We really need data exchange. Wei Yan, your intelligence is not wrong."
"What should we do? ?”
Wei Yan asked.
He did not dwell on the authenticity of the intelligence.
He knew very well that Davich had already investigated and verified it, and now that he said his information was correct, it was just a polite comment.
"It takes two days to complete the exchange of stock market data. I won't let them complete it on time. I have already contacted Microsoft. Just wait and see the good show."
Davich said lightly.
The moment he mentioned Microsoft, a bold idea suddenly popped into Wei Yan's mind, and he knew what Davich's next move would be.
Nowadays, the operating system of most computers in the world is Windows. If Microsoft takes action, it may disrupt the process of Longguo stock market data exchange.
“Is this actually the plan?”
Wei Yan murmured in his heart.
Davich had been observing Wei Yan and saw that he had not spoken for a long time, so he asked: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking..." Wei Yan came back to his senses instantly. , quickly made an excuse and said: "Don't Longxing Group have Tianxuan operating system? If there is something wrong with the Windows system, will they start the backup Tianxuan operating system?"
"Absolutely impossible. "Davich smiled indifferently and continued: "Although Chen Xing does have a vision and subsidized tens of billions to developers to build an application ecosystem, they started too late. At this stage, the world is still dominated by Windows systems. We can only watch the show. Okay.”
“Then hold a moment of silence for them.” Wei Yan smiled and picked up the red wine glass on the table.
Wei Yan put down the cigar and picked up the wine glass. The two raised their glasses, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed again.
On the other side of Microsoft, programmers have already started working.
As for the Jewish Consortium and the Angsa Consortium, they asked the Wall Street traders to take action and completely give up their support of the US stocks.
At the beginning, no investor noticed that the bottom support had disappeared.
But when the Nasdaq fell by 5%, the Seven Sisters of the US stock market lost 10%, and the market was about to approach the 7% circuit breaker, investors realized it later and quickly wanted to run away. out, but they had no chance.
Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and S&P collectively fell 7%, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism, and trading in rice stocks was suspended for 15 minutes.
Some investors are locked in 8%, some are locked in 10%, and some investors like to buy small market capitalization stocks and are directly locked in 20%!
For a while.
Everyone is crying for father and mother.
[Paweiu Oba]: "What happened? In less than 20 seconds, my stock fell by 12%. Not only did I lose all my profits, I was also robbed of 6%. Is there any justice?”
[Graeme Trevino]: “Should I cut off the meat?”
[Assad Fletcher. ]: "I just found out that it was Longguo who issued a stock market data exchange announcement. Longxing Group is going to be listed. It may be influenced by them."
While investors were talking a lot, the navy forces of Baile Group and Linghang Group went into battle and began to dominate the market.
[Sage Hannah]: "There is no need to panic at all. Just look at the historical trend of rice stocks. Every drop is a good opportunity to add positions. We just need to wait patiently."< br>
[Dujie Doofenshmirth]: "Yes, we are a financial country. Even if it falls briefly, it will rise back quickly. Don't be afraid."
In the Navy Under the inducement, after the market reopened fifteen minutes later, many investors did not sell, but chose to wait and see.
But in these few minutes of hesitation, Nasdaq has already fallen by 10%, and the Seven Sisters of Mi Stocks are even more miserable. Apple has fallen by 17%, Amazon by 12%, and Microsoft has also fallen by 14%. It seems that a lot of major funds are selling.
But slowly, the downward trend began to be stopped.
Stock investors hesitated again, should they sell or not?
Novice investors all have one idea, that is, how can they cut it without selling it to others?
It is true to think this way. If you don’t sell stocks, others will indeed be unable to cut your shares. However, this raises a question, that is, whether the stocks you hold can rise back.
Anyone who has ever traded in stocks knows that many stocks have a multi-peak structure.
For example, it was 2 yuan in 2012, 4 yuan in 2013, peaked at 6 yuan in 2014, and then fell back to 2 yuan in 2015. This is a peak. If it returns to 6 yuan in 2016, it falls back to 2 yuan in 2017. Money, this is Erfeng.
Almost all stocks, it experiences such a multi-peak structure.
It is precisely because of this trend that many novices feel that as long as they hold it for a long time, they can survive until the next peak.
However, what awaits them is very likely to stay put, with no hope of repaying their capital, and some may even delist altogether.
Don’t think that you can sit back and relax just because Mi stocks have delisting compensation. Delisting doesn’t matter. The compensation is not full compensation, but a proportional compensation, such as 30% or 25%.
At this time, some people must think that 25% is good.
But is it really 25%?
If you lose 100 yuan and are left with 10 yuan, we will compensate you 2.5 yuan. You will still lose 97.5 yuan. This is the cruelest truth about the stock market.
The purpose of this decline planned by the Jewish Consortium and the Angsa Consortium is to firmly trap retail investors and keep their funds in the rice stocks.
Everyone who gambles frequently knows that if you lose money, the thought will automatically appear in your mind, that is, you will not play again if you lose money.
The Jewish consortium and the Angsa consortium take advantage of the gambler mentality of investors. They don’t trap you very deeply, they only trap you 10%. share.
......
On the Longguo Internet, the entry "Migu Meltdown" has been on the hot search, attracting countless people to watch.
[Luoshui Promise]: "I don't think anyone will dare to say that we can't influence the whole world in the future. This wave has directly frightened Migu!"
[War God Crazy]: " When the giant Longxing Group is about to go public, it is estimated that foreign funds are rushing to flee the United States in a panic, which will cause the US stock meltdown this time."
[I am a handsome guy]: "There are more than a dozen more. It was just a few hours before the gong went public, and the rice stocks melted first. What is Pai Noodles? This is called Pai Noodles!"
[Anti-American Pioneer]: "How do you say that, Longxing Group? Far ahead!”
Countless melon-eating people are laughing and are proud of the strength of their country.
It can scare rice stocks into meltdown. If nothing else happens, many investors will use it as a talking point after dinner.
At the Imperial Star Hotel, Chen Xing is also paying attention to the reaction of the United States.
"Break? Interesting."
Chen Xing smiled faintly.
He also saw that the bookmakers behind rice stocks wanted to trap investors' funds and prevent them from leaving rice stocks easily.
But is it useful?
Yes!
But not much!
"Today is destined to be extraordinary. Rice stocks have melted down, and Longguo Technology Company has been listed in batches. I just don't know if there is any big news."
Li Daxiao said.
"Shall we continue to increase our positions today?" Yang Delong asked.
In the living room of the presidential suite at this time, hot money traders were all watching the market. They had purchased tens of billions of Israeli stocks.
"Keep adding." Chen Xing looked at Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others and said: "Now that the world's eyes are on us, it is a good time to make large purchases. In addition, you can try to borrow institutional securities. You must absorb the chips. Only if they are clean can we destroy them."
"If you don't move, you will be a blockbuster, right?" Li Daxiao said with a smile.
During this period, they bought too many stocks in the Israeli stock market. It is conservatively estimated to be 11.4 billion, covering hundreds of stocks.
Due to the complicated relationship between Israel and the United States, the moment the market crash began, it was the prelude to the start of the financial war.
[Ding dong! ]
[System update reminder! ]
While Chen Xing, Li Daxiao and others were talking, Cai Jimin, Lu Xiaobao and other hot money's laptops popped up a Windows system update prompt. Some people clicked the cross, while others didn't see it, and it automatically entered the update process in 15 seconds.
Originally they thought it was nothing and thought it was just a daily patch update for the Windows system. However, after restarting with the update, the computer they chose to update suddenly had a blue screen.
“My computer has a blue screen?”
“My computer has a blue screen?”
The sudden situation attracted the attention of Chen Xing, Li Daxiao, and Yang Delong, who looked at Cai Jimin.
“Restart and see.”
Li Daxiao reminded.
"I have restarted twice, and I tried system repairs, but nothing seems to work." As soon as Cai Jimin finished speaking, Chen Xing smelled an unusual smell, which might be the opponent's move.
The fact is just as he thought, all computers equipped with Windows system in Longguo have popped up patch updates. As long as the computers that choose to update have entered a blue screen state, they cannot be repaired and can only reinstall the old version.
Before the news spread, more and more computers were being attacked one after another.
The computer responsible for the exchange of stock market data inevitably had problems, and everyone was in a mess.
Listening to the urgent call from his subordinates, Xiao Gang, the head of the Mainland China Securities Regulatory Commission, glanced at the time on his watch and murmured: "It has only been three hours, and they have used such despicable means to try to stop the three cities from doing so. Data exchange, it seems that Chen Xing is right, the rise of domestic products is the real rise.”
