Rebirth: My 80s

Miss Naizi was indeed a bit difficult to deal with. Li Jiankun almost didn't leave the party that night. Miss Naizi said that she had a long-term rented presidential suite in the Imperial Hotel.

Damn it, it’s a good thing I have such strong self-control.

If it were a guy like Dai Rui, he would be in trouble in a minute.

In the next two days, Miss Naizi contacted Li Jiankun 180 times, hoping to rekindle their old relationship.

Li Jiankun was so scared that he hid in a bank branch and didn't show up for two days.

On the third day, a piece of news about the central bank appeared in the newspaper.

Satoshi Sumita announced his retirement.

Then according to the unwritten rules between the Bank of Japan faction and the Ministry of Finance, the tide will turn and the next one to take control will be the Bank of Japan faction.

For the position of central bank governor, Bank of Japan prince Yasushi Mieno is the undisputed choice.

"Allow me to get on my knees."

Jim Rogers, led by Dai Rui, walked in from the office door, still dressed like a biker, and said with an exaggerated expression: "I even suspect that you are the largest shareholder of the central bank of this country.

“I did think of the Bank of Japan faction, but I don’t think I can do it to that extent.

“And it’s only been a few days.

"In you, I have truly witnessed what it means to 'turn the clouds into rain with a flip of the hand'."

By the end, Rogers' joking turned into endless emotion.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.

Dai Rui personally brought a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and then said goodbye and left the room. Unlike Miduko, he recognized Rogers as soon as he appeared.

If there were any strong list in the stock market.

Rogers can definitely be ranked as one of the twelve main gods.

"You forced me to do it." Li Jiankun glanced at him unhappily.

Rogers laughed: "So everything is the best arrangement. Even God can't stand the rampant Japanese economy."

After that, he lay down on a single-seat sofa in a haphazard manner:

“The current situation is better than we thought.”

The economic and political influence of this man, Yasushi Mieno, has long been no secret during his unyielding rise and fall in the past few years.

It is completely predictable that the central bank will raise interest rates to curb inflation and cool down this crazy feast of wealth.

Li Jiankun asked with interest: "Aren't you worried?"

Rogers shrugged and said, "There's nothing to worry about. With Yasushi Mieno in office, according to his economic philosophy, the stock market is set to fall. Even Yasushi Mieno himself has predicted this.

“Anyway, I’ll build up my warehouse first, and if Mie No Yasushi’s plan to save the economy works, then I’ll make less money.

“It’s up to me when to close my position.”

Li Jiankun got the answer he wanted.

Even Rogers could not predict whether Yasushi Mieno could lead the Japanese economy to a soft landing.

People in later generations all know that it was Yasushi Mieno who burst the Japanese economic bubble. Therefore, many people who have only a superficial knowledge of economics and finance will subconsciously think that Yasushi Mieno is a loser, which led to the loss of thirty years of Japanese economy.

However, in fact, this person is not only not useless, but also a master.

His economic philosophy is flawless no matter from which angle one analyzes it.

What is wrong is the Japanese economy itself.

It’s like a doctor treating a patient. The doctor’s medical skills are fine, but the patient is already terminally ill and even gods cannot save him.

Even if Yasushi Mieno does not burst the bubble, the Japanese government will not be able to sit idly by when inflation continues to rise. Someone will always show up with a large needle.

"What do you think?" Rogers looked at Li Jiankun with a smile.

"Same idea as you."

"I think you have more ideas than me. Don't you have any prediction on how low the Japanese stock market will fall?"

"Can you believe me if I tell you so?"

"How would you know if you don't tell me? I don't believe it."

"hehe."

"hehe."

The two looked at each other.

Rogers curled his lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Even between the best of friends there are always some secrets, and their relationship wasn't that deep yet.

Furthermore, as one of the main gods, Rogers has his own pride. Even though the young man in front of him has a strong record and does not look like a human being, even if he tells his prediction, Rogers will only take it as a reference. He still only believes in his own judgment.

However, there is one thing that would not hurt to inquire about.

"How much money do you plan to invest?" Rogers asked.

"Is it important?" Li Jiankun asked back.

"Of course!" Rogers said seriously, "If the news gets out, will your shorting of 100 million and 10 billion have the same impact?"

The stock market can in fact be legally manipulated.

For example, the central bank’s rescue actions and the short-selling actions of short sellers will have a direct impact on the stock market.

These two behaviors often form a hedge.

Theoretically speaking, whoever creates a greater impact and leverages a larger amount of funds will have the balance of power tilted toward that side.

As a person who lives according to the trajectory of history, Rogers is obviously still somewhat worried about the Japanese government's subsequent rescue of the market, or anti-shorting behavior.

But Li Jiankun, who had experienced it, knew that Japan had no chance of winning this round.

If there is any brilliant plan, they must have used it in their previous life.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself?"

"I don't have any fucking money."

"If you don't have money, how much money do you have?"

"I will tell others that I have put out 10 billion US dollars." Even if you want to publicize it, you have to be reserved and not reveal the inside story to your competitors, including how many times the leverage is used.

Li Jiankun knew that Rogers really didn't have much money.

He worked with Soros on Quantum Fund for almost ten years, but when he left, he only took away $14 million.

The bulk of his assets come from long positions in Austria after he went solo, including profits from short positions during last year's global stock market crash.

"Then I will announce it to the public as 5 billion."

"so little?"

"Is that human language?"

"You are the richest man in the world, so be bold and throw out 20 billion."

"How about my bank account for you to play with?"

"I can't ask for it!"

What Rogers wouldn't know is.

Twenty billion US dollars?

Ah.

This kind of opportunity only comes a few times in a person's lifetime.

Li Jiankun holding a report titled "The Whole Story of the Collapse of Japan's Economic Bubble" in his hand.

Is there any reason not to go heavy?

……

……

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things.

What's more, Sanye Yasushi has been dormant and depressed for many years.

As soon as he came to power, Yasushi Mieno began to implement drastic economic reforms. His classic saying, "It is abnormal that wage earners cannot afford to buy a house even after working hard all their lives!", still won him many supporters.

Most Japanese people are keeping a wait-and-see attitude.

Mieno Yasushi's method is simple and crude - raising interest rates.

The day after the policy was introduced, the Tokyo stock market plummeted as soon as it opened.

However, the decline did not last long, and people believed that it was a normal technical adjustment and did not take it seriously.

At the same time, in the United States, the annual roundtable meeting of the well-known financial magazine Barron's is being held.

It has attracted the attention of financial professionals around the world.

Rogers was one of the roundtable guests.

Host: "Jim, what do you think of the recent volatility in technology stocks?"

Rogers: "A bunch of fools insisted on provoking others. They couldn't compete with the goods and didn't even know that their hometown was robbed."

Host: "Are you saying this shock is man-made? Oh my God, we are shorted?!"

Rogers: "It's obvious, but you can't say it's all man-made, it's about 50-50."

Rogers surprised everyone with his first statement at the beginning of the meeting.

The second topic is the old-fashioned and routine analysis of global stock markets.

Rogers really wanted to say something.

When it was his turn to speak, Rogers waved his hand and said, "I think the most problematic stock market in the world today is the Japanese stock market. The bubble in the Japanese stock market is really too big.

“I’m too lazy to give examples. The Japanese even threatened to buy the United States. Those who are interested can do their own research.

"The bubble has now reached its peak and if nothing unexpected happens, the Nikkei index will fall by at least 50 percent from its current level."

Hey!

There was an uproar.

It is impossible to count how many people were shocked in front of the TV.

Host: "Oh Jim, dangers and opportunities coexist. No one should forget that you are more proud of shorting than longing. If your prediction comes true, won't you and your companions be ecstatic?"

Rogers: "Ecstasy? No, that's something only a fool would do. Smart shorts are already building positions."

Host: “Did you build it?”

Rogers: “Of course.”

Host: "May I ask how much money you plan to use to short Japanese stocks?"

Rogers: "Everyone knows that I am a lazy person with little assets. I only have 1 billion yuan by scraping together. But I know someone who has at least 10 times the capital of mine to build a position, and he may also use high leverage."

Host: "Oh my God, 10 billion dollars! And high leverage? Jim, are you kidding me? How many people in this world have such a huge cash flow and such courage?"

Rogers: "If I tell you his name, you won't be surprised."

Host: “Who?”

Rogers: "Jack Lee."

Oops! Oops!

Everyone in the audience widened their eyes.

I was really shocked by this news.

But it's really not surprising at all.

That's what this guy can do.

……

……

Buffett once praised Rogers for his "unparalleled grasp of the general trend."

Rogers' remarks caused an uproar, and many people realized that this was a great opportunity and began to short Japanese stocks like him.

After the information of Barron's roundtable meeting reached Nippon Benz, it caused strong dissatisfaction among Nippon Benz Securities analysts.

Some well-known securities analysts have appeared in the media to defend the company.

However, what the media want to find most now is not them, but Jack Lee who happens to be in Japan at this time.

With the addition of two trainee reporters from the Yomiuri Shimbun and the example of successful interviews before them, the media regained confidence.

This morning, from the moment it opened for business, the entrance to the head office of the Japan branch of Hong Kong City Trust Bank was blocked by crowds of people.

Fortunately, Li Jiankun had foresight and got up early, and entered through the back door before the bank opened.

Not only the bank, but also New Power Public Relations Company and Ari House Co., Ltd. were besieged by reporters. It is no longer a secret in Japan that one of the CEOs of these two companies has a close relationship with Jack Lee, and the other has Jack Lee's investment.

"You can't do this. It affects our business!"

There were so many reporters that they started a roundabout battle with the security guards and could not be driven away, so Dai Rui had to come himself to chase them away.

"President Dai, please allow Mr. Li to be interviewed by our newspaper."
