Saitoi did not think about hostile takeovers because he had investigated the shareholdings of all high-quality Japanese manufacturing companies and found that the shares were "highly concentrated."
Take the Honda Group as an example. The actual controller Kazuki Otaki holds 31% of the shares, and the remaining 69% of the group’s shares, 40% are in the hands of various Wall Street giants. In other words, the real Only 29% of Honda Group shares are outstanding, or even less.
Suppose someone buys all 29% of the circulating shares in the stock market, but still cannot reach the 30% veto exercise line. Moreover, large groups have "poison pill plans", so Saitoi, None of the members, including the FSA Financial Services Agency, thought about a hostile takeover.
“Baga! International capital really treats our stock market as an ATM. If you need money, come to us to get it!”
“This is too much!!!!”
“Is there no way to counteract it?”
All members of the FSA Financial Services Agency are filled with righteous indignation and want to tear up the short sellers with their hands.
But do they have this ability?
Obviously not.
Whether it is the capital markets of Japan, South Korea, Europe, the United States or other countries, they all have one characteristic, which is that they are too open and believe in the market's ability to regulate.
For example, the Internet bubble of rice stocks burst. In three years, rice stocks fell by as much as 80%. If this was placed in a market with strong surveillance and supervision like Longguo, the market decline would reach about 30%, and the national team would end. To support the bottom line and protect the interests of investors.
If you choose openness and high risk, you must give up the ability to control and adjust, but in return, the investment returns will be higher.
If you choose strong monitoring and supervision to strengthen your own adjustment capabilities, the corresponding investment returns will also be reduced.
This is why, when the Asian financial crisis came in 1997, you heard about the Japanese and Korean stock markets being sniped, the Hong Kong stock market was sniped, and the Southeast Asian stock markets were sniped, but you never heard about the A-share market. Being sniped, this is the advantage of strong supervision.
As the backbone of the FSA Financial Services Agency, Saitoi did not worry about who was shorting, but asked his secretary:
"What is the magnitude of the decline?"
"2%!"
"Hurry up and turn on the projection."
With Saitoi's order, the projector in the conference room was turned on.
A moment later.
The Nikkei 225 Index page appears.
"Why did it fall so fast? I saw it was still 2% just now. Why did it reach 5% all of a sudden? What happened?"
The secretary was confused.
Less than ten minutes had passed since he discovered that the price had turned from rising to falling, and the decline had expanded to 5%. Wouldn't this be another circuit breaker?
Saitoi looked at the stock market that was about to melt down, and said angrily: "The automobile sector led the decline, and the Toyota Group suffered the sharpest decline. Something must have happened in the automobile field, so go investigate immediately."
"I'll check it right away."
The secretary responded submissively.
……
At the same time.
The other side.
Toyota Group Headquarters Building.
Boss Nishikawa Takahiro's eyes were fixed on the computer screen in front of him, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to overflow, as if what was in front of him was not the computer screen, but his father-killing enemy.
He did not expect that just as "Hydrogen Energy Battery" had made some progress, Longxing Group's "Thor Solid Lithium Battery" had made new breakthroughs, which disrupted his overall plan.
You know, Japanese cars were forced to withdraw from the Dragon Country market, and Japanese car companies such as Honda and Toyota experienced a serious supply and sales crisis.
The emergence of supply and marketing crisis means that the group's cash flow is at risk of rupture.
Anyone who has run a company knows that once the cash flow is interrupted and there is no way to replenish it in time, no matter how large the group is, it will collapse.
Since business operations are often accompanied by high debt, once your cash flow is discovered to be broken, banks and other creditors will immediately come to your door. If they determine that you cannot replenish your cash flow, they will apply to freeze existing assets. , used to pay off debts.
This is also the reason why Evergrande Group and Country Garden were still in business before their debts were exposed.
The moment the trillions of debt comes out, all fools know that they will not be able to pay it back.
What will the bank do if they know it is not paid?
Four words, seal and freeze!
From a bank's perspective, a company that owes trillions in debt basically declares that its capital chain has been broken. It can only seize and freeze its existing properties to make up for the bank's borrowings.
"Chen Xing, do you really want to kill everyone?"
Nishikawa Guida issued a soul torture.
Originally, he had already raised money from everywhere and even sold 17% of his own shares. What he wanted was to complete the layout of hydrogen energy vehicles as soon as possible and regain his position.
But now?
Lithium battery technology breaks through again!
If lithium battery technology remains in the leading position, even if hydrogen energy batteries are successfully developed, it will not replace lithium batteries as the new favorite in the new energy vehicle market.
While Nishikawa Takada was furious, his phone suddenly rang.
The moment he pressed the answer button, his pupils shrank sharply and his whole vision went dark. He felt like the whole world was spinning. If he hadn't been sitting on the chair, he would have fallen down.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Nishikawa Takahiro gradually recovered his eyesight, but his expression was extremely sluggish, like a dead eggplant.
He didn't speak and hung up the phone silently.
I saw him suppressing the anger in his heart, sitting up straight again, and then quickly clicked the mouse to open the island country's largest social media platform.
On the hot search list on the media platform at this time, the entry "Hydrogen Energy Battery Safety Hazards" appeared at the top of the list.
Click on the hot search term, and what comes into view is a test video.
The video is only five minutes long, but the title is extremely eye-catching, called "The Safety of Hydrogen Energy Batteries Revealed".
The first second after opening the video, Takahiro Saikawa recognized that the background of the video was the automobile research and development base of their Toyota Group.
As the video started playing, it entered the collision test of hydrogen energy vehicles. The moment the two cars rear-ended each other, a mushroom cloud appeared in front of everyone.
“Damn!!!”
“Who leaked the video!!!”
Nishikawa Takada gritted his teeth.
When it comes to the safety of hydrogen energy batteries, he always chooses to avoid it.
Even if an investor comes to ask, he will deliberately avoid the topic, because the power of hydrogen energy battery explosion is indeed a bit powerful.
It is said to be a hydrogen energy battery, but in fact it is no different from a hydrogen bomb.
The video not only shows the power and instability of hydrogen energy batteries, but also leaks internal test data.
After hundreds of thousands of people watched the video, countless netizens from island countries expressed their concerns and began to spontaneously boycott.
[Takai Yokohisa]: "Damn beast, this is the hydrogen energy car that our car company has been promoting? This is a fucking Syrian tank!"
[Numata Keisuke] : "Who can guarantee that you will not get into a car accident while driving? Driving on the road is inherently risky. Now you can go out with a hydrogen energy bomb. I will do it to anyone who buys a hydrogen energy car. I am not kidding!"
[ Kohei Yajima]: "Boycott hydrogen energy vehicles, everyone boycott hydrogen energy vehicles!"
[Tetsuji Hirabayashi]: "I would rather drive a fuel vehicle for the rest of my life than buy a hydrogen energy vehicle, damn Toyota Group , go to hell!”
If a fuel-powered vehicle is rear-ended, it will most likely end up lying on the ground.
If a lithium battery car is rear-ended, it will at best spontaneously combust.
But if a hydrogen energy vehicle is rear-ended, it is not a simple matter of lying on the ground and spontaneously combusting, but a major event that requires the car owner and the rear-ender to retreat from the biosphere!
Even if you dare to drive, no one will dare to sit on it, let alone buy it.
The sudden leak of the internal test video, coupled with the overwhelming online public opinion, made Nishikawa Kida exhausted both physically and mentally.
With the technological breakthrough of "Thor Solid State Battery" on the outside, and the safety issues of "Hydrogen Energy Battery" on the inside, he really couldn't resist.
He never expected that Chen Xing could instigate Toyota Group's R&D personnel to leak internal testing videos from thousands of miles away.
When he was depressed, Nishikawa Takada silently turned off his mobile phone. He knew very well that investors would soon call to question the situation, and he had no energy to deal with it.
Things were just as he expected. Seeing that online public opinion was one-sided and netizens were boycotting hydrogen energy vehicles, Toyota Group's investors collectively couldn't sit still and wanted to call Nishikawa Takahiro to learn about the specific situation.
[Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later...]
No response is the best response.
After it was confirmed that hydrogen energy vehicles had the risk of explosion and there was no way to solve it, Toyota Group's stock price fell rapidly.
Even if Toyota Group's public relations team immediately issued a clarification, saying that the group has "collision energy discharge technology", it can instantly discharge the energy of the hydrogen energy battery as soon as the vehicle hits the collision to avoid explosion.
However, netizens did not buy it at all, and instead intensified public opinion.
This is like depositing money in a bank in a Middle Eastern country. You want interest, but they want the principal. Is the little money saved by hydrogen energy vehicles more important than your life?
Toyota Group's plunge brought the Nikkei 225 index downward, and soon hit the 7% first meltdown line.
The stock market shut down and investors lost money. Another large wave of investors from island countries "took over" and began to criticize Toyota Group on the Internet.
[Yamagata Yuichi]: "It was going well today, but damn Toyota Group has brought down the entire automobile sector!"
[Suzuki Sadahisa]: "No, I want to ask , which genius thought of a hydrogen energy car? What is the difference between this and a suicide car?"
[Yuki Kitada]: "Go to hell, Toyota Group, I was blind and bought this one? The stock is broken. I just bought it yesterday and I lost 9% today. I can’t keep it!”
Japanese stockholders are now gnashing their teeth at the Toyota Group. They were still making money half an hour after the market opened, but suddenly there was a market crash and a circuit breaker. How can you stand this?
After the ten-minute circuit breaker cooling-off period, Toyota Group and even the entire automobile sector’s stocks were sold off.
Toyota Group's stock price began a second round of decline, from the opening price of 689 yen to 514 yen, equivalent to 32 yuan per share.
Public opinion has intensified, and Toyota Group’s stock price has become lower and lower.
471 yen.
442 yen.
407 yen.
Not only the stock price of Toyota Group has plummeted, but also Japanese companies such as Honda Group and Mitsubishi Group have plummeted. The market seems to have abandoned the automobile sector and there has been a stampede to cash out.
What is Stampede Cashing?
To put it bluntly, it is insufficient undertaking.
When stocks form panic selling, you want to sell at 420, while others want to leave the market at 419, but someone sells at 418.
Scramble.
Running each other.
Before bidding on the acceptance plate below, a lower price was refreshed. No one is stupid. In this case, everyone will think of waiting and buying the same number of stocks with less money.
……
Dragon Kingdom Deep City.
Longxing Group Bantian Base.
Li Daxiao looked at the avalanche of the Nikkei 225 Index and shouted excitedly: "Panic, the little guys are selling in a panic!"
"Mr. Chen is awesome, I didn't expect you to still Mastered the internal test video of hydrogen energy vehicles! ”
“If you hit the snake seven inches, Toyota is finished!”
"Collect chips quietly, we are not in a hurry, but we must not be discovered!"
On the securities trading floor, Yang Delong, Liu Jipeng, and all the hot money traders couldn't help but admire Chen Xing.
They didn’t expect that Chen Xing would hold back a fatal move.
Hydrogen energy vehicles have safety risks, which is the most deadly news.
Why do you say that?
A car is a means of transportation, safety comes first, and saving money comes second. Looking back at the past car recalls by major car companies, they were basically related to the safety of the car itself. As long as there were problems with high fuel consumption, they would not care.
For example, the official fuel consumption of Luzhije is 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers. When I got on the car and tested it, it was fully doubled. The doubled fuel consumption also made Luzhije Netizens ridiculed it and said it was Long Petroleum's strategic partner.
Faced with doubled fuel consumption, all fools knew that there was something wrong with the fuel consumption system of Lucjet, but because safety was not involved, Lucjet did not choose to recall the vehicles.
This can also reflect that saving fuel is the second priority, but saving life is the first priority!
Chen Xing asked people to publish the internal test video of hydrogen energy vehicles just to make a fuss about safety issues.
If nothing else happens, even if the safety issues of hydrogen energy vehicles are solved in the future, not many car owners will pay for them.
Why do not many car owners pay for it even if the safety problem of hydrogen energy vehicles is solved?
Very simple.
This involves stereotypes.
For example, the Iveco Dajinbei was the van that ranked first in sales nationwide and was even more popular than Wuling Hongguang.
It can often be seen in the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies transporting his younger brother, and is known as Chen Haonan's mobile office.
But what’s the result?
The rival manufacturer directly took advantage of the situation and bought 200 Iveco Jinbei vehicles, which were transferred to major funeral homes at half price.
Not only that, the rival manufacturer also asked me to compile a song called "Qingming Festival: Bless the Children". The first line of the lyrics is "Iveco's big golden cup, pull out the ashes of the dead", directly referring to Iveco's big gold cup. Jinbei's sales hit rock bottom.
After this set of business war routines, as long as people see the Iveco Gold Cup, they will immediately avoid it, thinking that there is another dead person or ashes on it, so as not to be contaminated with bad luck.
Even if Iveco tried to clarify several times that it was not a funeral parlor car, the results were mediocre. The brainwashing song "Iveco's big golden cup, after pulling out the ashes of the dead" has made it a special vehicle for funeral parlors.
To this day, people still think that the Iveco Golden Cup is a vehicle specially used for funeral parlors. This is the horror of the stereotype, and it directly makes the sales king a special vehicle for funeral parlors.
Playing with public opinion, Chen Xing has long been handy. Facing the praise of Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others, he asked:
"How many votes are left?"
"According to Based on the calculation of the total equity of Toyota Group, we have gained another 4%. The panic market is still running on the opposite side. At this time, we cannot let retail investors feel the existence of the bottom."
Li Daxiao responded.
No matter what you buy, it is best not to let the other party feel your urgency.
Just like bargaining for clothes, the more you show that you like it, the boss can easily manipulate you and make you pay obediently.
But if you act casually and leave immediately after being rejected, the clothing store owner may accept your bargain.
Chen Xing nodded slightly and agreed.
……
The continued decline of the Nikkei 225 has also made many retail investors in island countries see the market clearly, and there has been another wave of account cancellations.
Closing accounts is accompanied by liquidation, which means more chips in the market. With limited capacity, the island country’s stock market ushered in a second circuit breaker, suspending trading for another ten minutes.
Faced with this level of decline, everyone at the FSA Financial Department was completely unable to sit still. Saitoi once again called the National Bank of the island country, hoping to mobilize another batch of funds to rescue the market.
The National Bank of the island country was also very happy and quickly allocated 160 billion yen, which is equivalent to 10 billion yuan in Chinese currency, hoping to stabilize the stock market.
As the circuit breaker period ended, the entire Nikkei 225 market plummeted.
“What to save first?”
The trader of the island nation’s national team asked.
“Save finance first, then save medical care, and connect these two main lines.”
Saitoi responded quickly.
It is obviously impossible to save the manufacturing industry, because now the automobile sector is affected by bad news, so we can only save other sectors first, pull up the market, and then think about other things.
“Understood, save finance first!”
“Pull up the financial sector, quickly, quickly!”
“Save finance, save finance!”
The Japanese national team began to exert its efforts to pull up stocks in the financial sector, trying to stabilize the market and prevent it from continuing to fall.
However, in the panic selling mood, 160 billion yen was quickly consumed, and a large number of retail investors chose to leave the market.
Some of their accounts lost 50%, some lost 60%, and some even lost 70%. In less than two years, they lost 70%, and the market has not seen any signs of bottoming. This market How else to play?
All the suppressed emotions and all the investors who were trying to make money in the stock market broke out during the two circuit breakers. They all chose to liquidate their positions and close their accounts instead of playing in this bullshit market.
“Give me another 160 billion, and I will definitely be able to save the market!”
"No time, hurry up!"
"Market sentiment must be stabilized, otherwise today will be the end of the island country's economy!"
"I only want 160 billion!"
Saitoi kept making phone calls, and he was frantically raising bailout funds.
However, what he didn't know was that when he was pulling money, the traders of Longxing Group were constantly buying Toyota Group shares.
“I bought another 3 million!”
“Switch the account and continue buying!”
“The stocks were immediately transferred to the international fund account for holding on behalf of the other party to avoid the other party’s failure. ! ”
“6 million, another big order is coming!”
“These guys are panicking, one big order after another, they feel like they are frightened by the circuit breaker, haha Haha! ”
Amid bursts of laughter, Toyota Group's stocks began to concentrate.
However, due to the operation of multiple securities accounts, the warning of hostile takeover was never triggered, which also kept the island country’s senior officials unaware.
In the afternoon, when the market was about to close, Li Daxiao's breathing became rapid and he said in a deep voice: "The last 40 million shares are left, raise the price for me!"
"Crackling!" ! ”
The keyboard sounds are flying.
For the last 40 million shares, there is no need to be secretive anymore. What is important is to win them as quickly as possible.
327 yen.
349 yen.
370 yen.
The ruthless sweep of goods caused Toyota Group’s stock price to rise.
The sudden and blatant financial intervention attracted the attention of the FSA Financial Services Department. The moment Saitoi learned the news, he suddenly felt a cold air flowing from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.
Thor solid-state battery technology breakthrough.
Hydrogen energy battery explosion is a safety hazard.
The automobile sector led the decline.
Mysterious funds intervened in a high-profile manner.
The moment these pieces of information were connected in series, a terrible thought emerged in Saitoi's mind. He quickly looked at the trading team and shouted: "Quick, buy Toyota Group shares!"
"Quick, quick, quick!!!"
Hearing this, the FSA Financial Services Agency's trading team quickly tapped on the keyboard and entered the Toyota Group's stock code.
When they finished the trading, the trading team of Longxing Group used the quantitative trading software designed by Jiang Ce to be faster and faster than them.
Two trading teams swept the goods, causing Toyota Group’s stock price to rise higher and higher.
"What happened?"
"What happened to Toyota Group?"
"It's 400 yuan!"
"It's still going up!"
" 410 yuan, I have to run, the national team may be pulling!”
“Then I’ll leave too!”
“You all leave, I’ll leave too”
< br>While commenting on the trading software, investors in the island country sold their stocks one after another, thinking of doing T to earn the difference.
Anyone who is familiar with the financial market knows that if the national team is the one to support the bottom, it will definitely fall back after a while.
This is because the national team cannot hold on to the stocks. When it finds the right time, it needs to return the stocks to the market.
...
At this time, all the traders on the securities trading floor of Longxing Group were very excited. They were about to complete a hostile takeover of a trillion-level listed company!
“Two million shares, the last 2 million shares!”
“Xiao Baga couldn’t have been forced to be anxious, so he bought it at a 3% premium!”
“ Buy ETF funds!"
"Yes, including all ETF stock funds of Toyota Group!"
"I completed another large transaction, a total of 600,000 shares!"
“Beautiful!!!”
“Awesome!!!”
With only ten minutes left before the close, more and more retail investors in the island country choose to sell their stocks, fearing that it will happen again tomorrow Come to a lower limit.
Due to two waves of competition, Toyota Group's stock price reached 700 yen, an increase of 19%. This made many investors think that the price might be like this today, and immediately sold their tickets.
The first time they click to sell, the quantitative trading software recognizes the price and eats them all!
1.8 million shares.
1.3 million shares.
900,000 shares.
Chen Xing held his breath after witnessing the entire process, and his heartbeat began to accelerate. Winning the Toyota Group was the most important and critical step in his strategic layout.
As long as the equipment problem is solved, the remaining problems can be solved.
“One hundred thousand, I bought one hundred thousand shares!”
“We are about to reach the acquisition line!”
“There is a big order! There is a big order, it is 40 Tens of thousands of shares, retail investors are starting to be afraid of diving!”
"I won them all!"
"Nice!!!"
Under the cheers of everyone, Li Daxiao, who had been calculating silently, blushed, stood up and shouted: "Enough Okay, including the holdings of ETF stock funds, we have bought enough!”
The moment he finished speaking, Chen Xing’s hanging heart finally dropped. Without any hesitation, he immediately spoke to direct the overall situation:< br>
“All overseas funds holding entrustment immediately issued a joint statement to hand over the rights to Toyota Group shares to Longxing International Investment Fund.”
“In addition!”
Chen Xing’s gaze Looking at Yao Nana, she said in a deep voice: "Issuing a global announcement in the name of Longxing International Investment Fund to immediately dissolve the original board of directors of Toyota Group and remove all members of the original board of directors. Three hours later, an online meeting of the Toyota Group's board of directors will be held. "(End of this chapter)
