Since 1985
The national mood in Japan is particularly high, and products with "Made in Japan" printed on them can be found in every corner of the world.
Sony spent $3.4 billion to buy Columbia Pictures, and Mitsubishi spent $1.4 billion to buy the Rockefeller Building.
It's as if the whole world is clearly priced in the eyes of Japanese entrepreneurs.
Even the [Plaza Accord] failed to curb them, stock prices soared again, and housing prices rose again.
When Hollywood's Columbia Pictures was acquired by Sony and Universal Pictures was acquired by Panasonic, the national sentiment in Japan soared into the sky.
Even Time Magazine began to build momentum for Japan and published a cover article titled "Tiger Tiger Tiger".
On the cover is a picture of a plane dropping Japanese appliances and Japanese cars over the United States.
"Actually, Toshiba's counterattack is easy to understand. Although Toshiba has been on the U.S. sanctions list, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is a century-old Japanese company."
With a serious look on his face, Old West took Toshiba's financial report to Tao Xi and analyzed Toshiba's current situation.
But Tao Xi was absent-mindedly holding a check-in list for MGM Otaru International Hotel in a daze.
Since he came back from the United States this time.
Not only did Morgan Jr. give up his entanglement with him on silver futures, he also brought a financial team of nearly 40 people to Japan and stayed at the MGM Hotel!
With the arrival of little Morgan~
The elites on Wall Street began to swarm in like cats that smelled something fishy.
In less than three days, the [Otaru City Hot Dog Airport] built by Tao Xi was filled with all kinds of private jets.
If Citibank and Bank of America represent the older generation of American financial groups, then Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Jim Rogers, who live next door, represent the emerging capital on Wall Street.
When Tao Xi saw these names appearing, his scalp went numb for a moment.
"Taoxi?"
"Taosi?!"
"Ah!" Tao Xi then realized that Old West was still beside him, analyzing Toshiba's affairs for him.
Seeing Tao Xi's absent-minded look, Old West couldn't help but persuade him: "Okay! Don't worry about those people, we have eaten enough now."
"NTT Telecom holds 60% of its outstanding shares! It is the largest communications company in Japan."
"As long as you hold a foreign license, you are the largest shareholder!"
Tao Xi shook his head helplessly after hearing what Old West said.
Even though Old West manages such a huge thing, the financial situation of Sunshine Industrial Group is not transparent to Old West at all!
In fact, Tao Xi's current predicament is still due to lack of money, no matter how hard he tries to compete with **** outside.
That's because the entire Wall Street knows about Tausi's short-selling contract listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. If Tausi sells it, it will be a profit of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars!
This was US$37 billion in the early 1990s. Who had such a large amount of liquidity?
But no one knew that Tao Xi had bought 30% of NTT's shares when its stock price crashed. With the collapse of the Japanese stock market, Tao Xi had acquired such a big guy.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
NTT's peak stock price can give it a run for its money with Toyota Motor.
Even if it is falling, it is still money.
If Taosi acquires NTT and stops in his tracks, there won't be so many things to do.
But his short selling of Toshiba caused a strong backlash from Toshiba, which is not a good thing!
A large amount of capital on Wall Street is watching his actions and waiting to buy the bottom. If he withdraws his capital from the fight with Toshiba, won't others be able to test his depth?
This is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
But Tao Xi was not willing to accept this opportunity. You must know that the current Japanese stock index is still over 13,000 points.
Tao Xi clearly remembers that the Japanese stock index fell to 7,000 points before triggering the real estate bubble in Japan.
Tao Xi wanted to maximize the value of the short selling agreement in his hand.
Now I have been using money from the Commercial Bank of Panama.
Tao Xi, who was a little bored, walked out of the room and walked towards the restaurant of the MGM Hotel. The restaurant that used to be deserted was now extremely lively.
Americans can be seen everywhere, which instantly enhances the quality of the restaurant.
There were either bankers or entrepreneurs in the entire restaurant, and there were even some public relations companies who came for a business dinner and were hurriedly handing out their business cards.
"Our bank has approved a US$1 million credit line for you this time. If this deal is successful, I guarantee you will be promoted."
Blake, the investment development manager of the Bank of Hawaii, hugged a beautiful woman and smoked the cigar in his hand without any scruples while chatting with the person from the public relations company in front of him.
When Blake saw Dunn, the securities manager of Citibank, appear, he instantly stood up and moved towards Dunn. Even though they were all banks, there were differences between banks.
This can be seen from the fact that Blake dropped the cigar in his hand and pushed the woman in his arms away.
Dunn was arranging his tie while talking on the phone and said: "Japan's stock market has picked up a little bit when it was closed today. Do you think it is possible that they made a wrong judgment?"
"Well, I will continue to observe and ask the securities department to speed up the financing and not delay my affairs in Japan."
Blake saw Dunn hang up the phone and immediately approached him with a smile on his face: "Dunn, long time no see."
"Oh, damn it! Did I go out without reading the almanac? How could I meet such a bad guy like you!" Dunn complained to Blake with a look of disgust and wanted to walk in the other direction, but who would have thought that Blake
He took the initiative to hold Dunn's arm and whispered something in his ear.
When Dunn heard Blake's words, he immediately said with disdain: "Do you think of me as one of those old men in Texas who were defrauded of their pensions by you? All the investors on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
All the empty contracts are in the hands of Panamanian Commercial Bank!"
The originally harmonious restaurant was instantly attracted by Dunn's curse.
All the bankers here know the truth of what Dunn said!
Some well-informed people even saw the news that Japanese congressmen went to the White House to meet with the commander-in-chief last week. What else could they do at this juncture when they went to the White House?
Isn't it just for the short selling contract that Tao Xi holds that can buy half of Tokyo?
Since the White House threw out the Plaza Accord in 1985, apart from sanctioning Japan's leading companies, what other tricks does it have?
"Brasen, if you really have a short-selling contract on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, I, Bill, will personally invest $10 million in you!"
As soon as Bill, the securities director of Boston First Bank, finished speaking, a gasp came from the restaurant.
"Bill is also a partner at Citibank, so why are you so stingy?"
"15 million U.S. dollars! I want the short-selling contract in your hand, Brayson." Peter Peterson walked in from the restaurant door with a cool look on his face, his hands in his pockets.
Behind Peter Peterson is a vast financial team.
His female secretary is exceptionally beautiful, and her tall figure and low-luxury suit make her particularly attractive: "Among the nineteen short-selling agreements on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, there is a short-selling agreement worth US$100 million.
However, the holder of this short selling agreement is a Japanese named Kazuo Kawada.”
After hearing the secretary's words, Peter Peterson looked around with disdain at his colleagues who were shaking wildly, and then walked towards Brayson's position.
"Who are you Kawada Kazuo!"
"Hello, Mr. Peter Peterson, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you from the Blackstone Group here."
Peter Peterson was a former Lehman Brothers executive.
He relied on his own ability to make Lehman Brothers, which was in trouble, once again stand at the top of Wall Street in just five years!
Just when everyone on Wall Street thought that Peter Peterson was going to officially take over Lehman Brothers and become the leader, Peter Peterson resolutely left Lehman Brothers.
He also successfully helped Shao Morita acquire Columbia Records. After that, Blackstone Group successively received investment from large groups such as American insurance giant Prudential, MetLife, General Electric, and General Motors.
Rather than saying that Peter Peterson represents the Blackstone Group, it is better to say that he comes to Japan on behalf of European capital to get a share of the pie.
On the other hand, Bank of Hawaii representative Brayson was very calm: "Actually, my best partner is Mr. Dunn, because of Citibank and because Citibank has a strong influence in Texas."
"But I didn't expect that the director of Tangtang's securities department would dislike me so much because of one-sided remarks."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dunn. In fact, you can satisfy many of your requirements with this little short selling contract in my hand."
Dunn looked at Brayson across from him with a livid face.
You must know that if his words were spread today, he might return to the United States and face accountability from the board of directors!
"Brasen! $20 million! I'll invest in your biotech!" Dunn basically said this through gritted teeth.
"Thank you, I don't need it."
"I think the black market group is more suitable than your company!"
Brayson, who performed a wave of Thirty Years Hedong and Thirty Years Hexi, directly took out a piece of white paper less than 5 mm thick from his pocket.
"Kazuo Kawada was a poor student I sponsored at the University of California."
"I hope Mr. Peterson can support me more in the coming days!"
The corners of Peter Peterson's mouth were slightly raised. Just as he was about to speak, someone in the crowd who had been watching shouted: "Bank of America US$30 million!"
