Rebirth: My 80s

New Power Public Relations Company is now a well-known company in Ginza and is well-known in the Japanese public relations industry.

It has a number of fixed large customers with strong strength or prominent background, such as Ifang Co., Ltd., Standard Technology Co., Ltd., the Japan branch of Minato City Trust Bank, the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa-kai, the Sumiyoshi-kai, etc.

President Kudo Mitoko has also become a legendary woman.

Adored by many women.

As we all know, women have no status in this country. Apart from the entertainment industry, few women can become famous.

In the morning, on the twelfth floor of a building in Ginza CBD.

As the president, Kudo Miduko, personally brought a young man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses into a reception room, the company suddenly exploded.

Without making any noise, the employees found ways to gather in groups of three or five, whispering and talking to each other.

"is it him?"

"One hundred percent!"

"Walking mountain of gold, all I see now is gold!"

"The biggest bachelor in the world, oh, if he could be interested in me..."

"Yuan Mai, you nymphomaniac, wake up. The president hasn't even gained any status."

"Hey, what do you think is the relationship between the president and him?"

"Everyone who knows should know, right? Didn't the news reveal that when he was still unknown in our country, the president always accompanied him at many events, like... a maid."

"Hush! Hush!"

...

Compared with the commotion caused by Li Jiankun's appearance, Jim Rogers' appearance seemed really unremarkable.

It even has a bit of an insulting tone, because everyone just treats him as a bohemian uncle.

Until he, holding a motorcycle helmet, and led by the president's secretary, walked into the reception room where Jack Lee had entered in advance.

The company exploded again.

"Oh my god, is this a meeting?"

"I wonder why Jack Lee suddenly came to our company!"

"Jack Lee arrived early?"

"Who is this motorcycle guy?"

...

In the reception room.

Miduko smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry Mr. Rogers, I didn't recognize you yesterday."

"No, please don't."

Rogers gestured to stop me and said, "If I am recognized by anyone, my plan to travel around the world will not be able to continue."

Say it.

Rogers looked at Li Jiankun who stood up from the black leather sofa: "Someone once asked me how to evaluate you. I said, I don't believe you are from Earth."

Miduko burst into laughter and her liking for him increased greatly.

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "As an alien, I envy your life now."

Rogers shrugged: "If you don't make so much money, you can live a hundred times more carefree than me.

"Oh, damn, you're even more handsome than on TV, and still so young. No, you should just keep making money and leave all the beautiful girls from all over the world to me."

Li Jiankun joked: "Will it be beyond your ability?"

"You little brat, you keep exposing my shortcomings."

Rogers threw his helmet on the sofa and lay down on it leisurely.

Li Jiankun sat back in his original position and did whatever he felt comfortable with.

Miduko was very surprised. If her master had not told her that the two had never met before, she would have thought that they had known each other for many years.

It’s just that her Chinese isn’t good enough.

Otherwise, I would think of a few words to explain this weirdness, such as "It's a pity we met too late", "We appreciate each other", "Great minds think alike"...

In the global stock market crash of 1978, almost no one noticed the signs in advance, and even people like Buffett and Soros suffered heavy losses.

Everyone knows that Jack Lee predicted it in advance.

There is actually one more.

Close at hand and yet far away.

Rogers had warned about this, but later on, most of the limelight was stolen by Li Jiankun - he showed his face more often.

There are not many people in the world who can be called "big shorts", but it is difficult to list them all in one breath. They include:

Jesse Livermore, who shorted the United States, made $100 million in nine days, well, that was in the 1920s.

George Soros, who shorted the British pound, made $1 billion in one day.

Ray Dalio, who shorted Europe, made 4 billion euros in three weeks.

...

But today, Li Jiankun no longer feels envy or awe for them.

When he said he envied Rogers, he wasn't being polite.

This person lived the life that every man wanted.

Born into a civilian family in a remote town in Alabama, USA, he lived up to the saying "Children from poor families grow up early". At the age of six, he borrowed $100 from his father, opened his first bank account, and started investing in his own business.

Selling snacks and stuff.

During high school, he was admitted to Yale University with the first place in the school. Later, he obtained a bachelor's degree in philosophy, politics and economics from Oxford University and became a member of Balliol College.

At the age of 22, he opened his first stock account on Wall Street and started his journey of exploring the stock market.

During this period, he rejected a job offer from George Soros.

At the age of 29, perhaps feeling that he was too young and hot-headed in the past, Rogers turned back and went for an interview at Alhold Brechlord Partnership, which he had rejected. The person who interviewed him was Soros.

Soros was indignant about the embarrassment he had suffered and did not appreciate Rogers' apology.

Rogers suddenly changed the subject and stopped talking about grudges with him, and started talking about the market at that time. Every word he said was brilliant, and Soros was immediately interested.

In 1973, the two changed jobs at the same time and jointly established the Quantum Fund.

By 4200, when Rogers left the company to start his around-the-world trip, the fund's return on investment had been % in just a few years.

On the eve of their separation, Rogers gave Soros a big gift, asking him to short sell all oil stocks as soon as possible.

Almost as soon as Rogers finished speaking, then-US President Carter announced the cancellation of domestic oil price controls. Oil prices soared to a record high. Soros then closed his positions at the peak of the stock price. Subsequently, oil stocks plummeted, with many stocks falling by more than 90 percent.

Soros made a fortune.

In 1981, Rogers traveled around the world and came to Vienna, a city full of fairy-tale love legends.

Then, on his own, he was bullish on Austria, making this country, which originally did not pay much attention to the stock market and had only one person in charge of stocks in the country's largest bank, a global investment hotspot. Its stock market doubled every year and increased fivefold in five years.

So the Austrians called him "the handsome prince who kissed Sleeping Beauty."

And this prince is only forty-six years old.

"You went to China?" Li Jiankun's eyes fell on his left wrist.

It was tied with a red bracelet with a small Chinese knot at the end and two white jade beads hanging below.

"Yes, I stayed there for 19 days, taking my motorcycle with me. I like the unique traditional culture there, and I will probably go there again in the future."

Rogers raised his wrist to show off, but thinking that he probably didn't want it, he smiled bitterly and put it down again.

"Thank you."

Li Jiankun gestured for him to drink tea while waiting for further instructions.

"I can't guarantee anything for others, but you must know why I'm here." Rogers picked up the imitation blue and white porcelain teacup that Miduzi had specially bought from Hong Kong City, and placed the rim of the cup at his lips.

Li Jiankun: "You want to know if I'm interested?"

"Yes."

After Rogers took a sip of tea, he gave a thumbs up to Miduzi, who was kneeling beside the wooden tea table making tea, and turned his head to look at Li Jiankun and said:

"Here's the thing:

"A friend of mine told me that the US and Japan are in a new round of trade negotiations. The situation is not good for Japanese benzene. The home appliance industry will be hit hard, which is a good opportunity to short sell.

"You know, traveling around the world is very expensive, and I can't live off my savings, so I had to end my wonderful trip to China early. Oh, I have to say that your country is really huge. It's not like the United States, where many remote areas are uninhabited. Wherever I go, there are so many people, and I have a different feeling. It's great.

"After arriving at Nippon Benz, I did some research and selected stocks of three companies: Sony, Hitachi, and Pioneer."

Miduko suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Jiankun, then looked at Rogers.

"What's wrong?" Rogers asked.

"Mr. Li has told me this before, saying that these three stocks are very suitable for short selling now."

Rogers was not surprised at all, and spread his hands and said:

"The problem is, your Mr. Li just concluded a deal with Sony and Hitachi. I guess Sony and Hitachi were able to cooperate so well, at least in part because they were wary of him. And your Mr. Li must have made a promise in the contract not to short sell to them."

Miduko's eyes widened.

evildoer!

Two monsters!

Rogers looked at Li Jiankun again:

“I also learned about your presence in Japan through this news.

“Originally I didn’t doubt your interest in shorting them, but now…it seems like you’ve lost it.

"So I want to discuss another bigger matter with you."

Li Jiankun said: "Short Japanese benzene."

Rogers's mouth curled up a little. He thought, chatting with him is so damn easy:

"My plan is to start by shorting these three companies. Of course, even if you don't get any, it won't hinder our subsequent cooperation. This is just a small profit and is not worth mentioning. What do you think?"

Li Jiankun also curled his lips: "I am always interested in stealing money from this country."

Rogers laughed and pointed at Miduko: "You are really not afraid of hurting her feelings."

"First of all, she is mine." Li Jiankun looked at Miduko.

The latter said to Rogers: "I didn't discover any beauty in this country until I met him."

"Oh, poor girl," Rogers said apologetically.

Miduzi indicated that it was okay: "You men do your big things, what does it have to do with a little woman like me? Firstly, I can't stop it. Secondly, even if I go out and shout now, saying that you two are conspiring to short Japanese benzene, will anyone believe it?"

"It's true." Li Jiankun and Rogers said in unison, and pointed at each other at the same time.

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

Li Jiankun said: "Speak your mind."

"Oh, damn it, after all I've said, shouldn't you share your opinion?"

"In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but the timing has not yet come. Now, as long as you, Jim, play to your strengths and show the same spirit as when you were bullish on Austria, the timing... may not be impossible to create," Li Jiankun said slowly.

Rogers suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked, "Earlier, how early?"

Can Li Jiankun say ten years ago?

"You know, I cleared out my investment in Nissan last year."

Rogers's Adam's apple rolled: "I really want to take your slice for testing."

He paused, and said to Mitoko, whose face was filled with a strange expression, as if she was watching the secrets of heaven, "What your Mr. Li wants to say is exactly what I want to say.

"If he can make some negative comments about Japan and show up in the media more often.

"I'm sorry, my beautiful lady, but your country's crazy feast of wealth will end early. There will probably be a few years of cold winter."

Not a few years, but thirty years.

However, the fact that he was able to predict a few years ahead shows how powerful Rogers is.

People in later generations all know the financial tycoon Soros, and some people and even countries are terrified of him.

People who are familiar with the relationship between the two often believe that Soros has helped Rogers.

But in Li Jiankun's opinion, it is questionable whether it was Soros who made Rogers successful, or Rogers who made Soros successful.

Miduko said: “If you two act together.

"Oh, please allow me to observe three minutes of silence for this country.

"Also, you have to compensate me."

Mei Duzi put her hands on her slender waist and said angrily: "I have just started to learn how to trade stocks, and you two great gods are going to create a cold winter. I might be trapped!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Rogers laughed so hard that his chest was sticking to his back. He accused Li Jiankun, "You should at least teach her a few tricks."

But Miduko cooperated and looked at Li Jiankun with a resentful look on her face.

Li Jiankun touched the tip of his nose and asked, "Is it my fault?"

What is the stock market?

It is a group of rich, powerful and calculating people who take the money of a group of ordinary people who dream of getting rich and put it into their own pockets; then a small group of even richer, powerful and more calculating people take the money from the companies, funds and the former.

Therefore, he has always been against two types of people speculating in stocks:

1. Ordinary people.

2. People who are not very smart, especially those with big breasts and no brains. For the stock market, emotion is poison.

Rogers wiped his eyes fiercely several times, slowly restrained his smile, stared at Li Jiankun and said:

"I remember you just said 'maybe'. Do you think that if you and I join forces to stir up a big trend, and the bubble in this country has reached this level, they will still be able to resist?"

Li Jiankun pondered and said, "It's impossible to achieve absolute safety with me."

"Oh, my God, absolutely safe, listen to this, where is the absolute safety in the stock market?"

After Rogers finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned. He suddenly remembered that the young man opposite him had never lost a game, so he said with infinite emotion: "You are really not a human being."

Then, he asked in a consulting tone:

"So what's missing, in your opinion?"

Li Jiankun said slowly: "This country is different. It is the most economically developed country in the world today. Even you, America, have to suppress it layer by layer.

“All of our funds, including those we have leveraged, thrown into this country’s capital pool will hardly make a big splash.

"If we want to lead this, rather than wait for the right time to happen, then we have to achieve one thing - get the shareholders of this country to follow us.

"The problem is that their government does not want to see us succeed, so there is a high probability that they will intervene.

"So, before we act, let's make one thing happen first."

Rogers took over the conversation: "Let their government introduce a major policy that is unfavorable to the financial market."

Li Jiankun nodded.

Miduzi was stunned: "Can our government be so stupid as to introduce a policy that is disadvantageous to itself?"

Li Jiankun said: "It is difficult, but not impossible."

Rogers said, "Oh, my princess, they are not as smart as you think."

Midoko: "..."

How can it be?

At this moment, she even thought that these two people were crazy.

Li Jiankun and Rogers looked at each other.

Rogers: "I think you should do it. You have been in this country before, so you must be more familiar with it than I am."

Li Jiankun: "No, you should do it. I have robbed them once, which will make them wary."

Rogers: "Rock, paper, scissors?"

"Afraid of you?"

What are you talking about?

Miduko stared in amazement at the two people who had both influenced the world and started playing a childish game of rock-paper-scissors.

What they were discussing was things like subverting the country's economy.

are you crazy!

"Oh." Li Jiankun sighed.

Unlucky.

Rogers laughed happily, put away the "pair of scissors", picked up his black motorcycle helmet, patted his butt and stood up: "That's it, you go and handle this, and I'll go set up the stage."

Li Jiankun said unhappily, "Get lost."

Inadvertently, we hit it off at first sight.
