Chapter 866: Unstoppable!
Yagawa Masaru was not surprised to see his expression.
He glanced at the old man and said, “Buffett once said, ‘I’m calm when others are crazy.’
“The whole of Japan has gone crazy.
“No matter what news comes out, it will definitely be good news. The stocks are rising.
“After months of fermenting and rising, more and more people are starting to go crazy, throwing their savings into the stock market.
“People have no more cash in hand.
“Even if they have some savings, their stocks have already risen to the point where they cannot afford it.
“Compared to the stock market, the entire island industry is abandoned. Everyone’s money is in the stock market, so how can they have the money to spend? How can they be in the mood to work? The various companies and factories are getting tougher and tougher to maintain now.
“Coupled with the short-term economic pain caused by the exchange rate, many companies will not be able to hold on. There will be another wave of unemployment, and Japan will be really in big trouble…”
For the old man to be his assistant and friend for so many years, he must have a certain level of understanding of the business and economic environment. Previously, he was blinded by the huge profits from the stock market. But now that he heard Yagawa Masaru’s words, how could he not notice the huge crisis that Japan was facing?
‘The huge crisis in Japan is also going to be a huge crisis for me!
‘After all, all my savings are in the stock market!’
He could not help but look at Yagawa Masaru with a pale face. He stammered, “Then… Does the country not intend to do anything about it?”
Yagawa Masaru took a sip of tea calmly and said, “The country?
“Of course the country is doing something about it.”
The old man sighed in relief.
He felt that if the country took action, he and the country could still be saved.
But then Yagawa Masaru’s words hung over his heart again. “But… How do you expect the country to handle this situation?”
Yagawa Masaru’s expression was a little bleak. “It’s only now that I’m seeing Su-kun’s every step clearly.
“He’s really taking every step carefully. He’s only left behind very faint traces.
“He suppressed the yen exchange rate and then prompted Nakai Yuuki to take over. Nakai Yuuki’s fundamentals were to stimulate the economy, so he sacrificed the exchange rate and released hot money.
“The exchange rate has been lowered because of that, so we can’t get the hot money out and it can only remain in Japan.
“His original plan was to use this money to stimulate consumption and stimulate the real estate, but who knew that Su-kun would point this money in another direction: the stock market.
“That’s right. Real estate is not as profitable as finance. The more you earn, the better.”
“So, all the hot money followed him into the stock market.
“After that, whenever the stock market was about to cool down, he would release new exciting news.”
When the old man heard this, a look of realization appeared on his face.
Seeing that he understood, Yagawa Masaru gave a bitter laugh. “It’s only now that I understand that the reason Su-kun collaborated with the four automobile companies was not because of the auto industry, but because of the financial industry!
“He wants to use this news to stimulate the stock market!”
“Furthermore, why did he delay signing the contract and release a wave of news every once in a while? Isn’t it because he wanted to create more excitement?
“Before this, we thought he was trying to swallow the four automobile companies.
“But we never expected that he actually intends on devouring the whole of Japan!
“Now, with the huge amount of money that he made from manipulating the exchange rate, and the collaboration with the four automobile companies, he has tied the stock market to the national economy.”
At this point, Yagawa Masaru looked at the old man and said, “Didn’t you want to ask if the country was doing something about it?
“Let me tell you, they can’t handle it anymore.
“The country also knows that the stock market is a huge big bubble right now, but the exchange rate has collapsed, and real estate has declined as well. If we continue to suppress the stock price, it will cause more debt and unemployment.
“When the time comes, the effects will be greater and worse…
“Have you forgotten how we lost those twenty years?
“It was because the country forcefully broke the bubble, leading to The Great Depression.
“So, the country is in a dilemma now!
“If they don’t make a move, they will definitely collapse in the future. They’re actually trying to do something about it, but they don’t dare to do it because they’re afraid of the collapse.
“So… the state wants to manage, but it doesn’t dare.”
Hearing Yagawa Masaru’s analysis, the old man’s face lost all color.
He looked at the time and stood up quickly. He said to Yagawa Masaru, “Yagawkun, I’d like to excuse myself for a moment.”
Yagawa Masaru nodded nonchalantly.
Seeing that Yagawa Masaru had agreed, the old man did not even care about etiquette. He took out his phone and started to call as he ran out.
Because he was distracted, when he was running, he almost fell.
Seeing the old man’s fleeing figure, Yagawa Masaru shook his head slightly and said softly, “Run, go on and run… If you don’t run now, you won’t be able to escape in a while.”
After saying that, he picked up his tea and poured himself another cup. Then, he stood up and looked at the bleak cherry blossom tree, muttering to himself, “Nakai-kun, what role do you play in this?
“Is suppressing the exchange rate your real thoughts or is it because of Su-kun?
“Now that things have come to this, are you regretting it? Or are you happy to see it happen?”
At this point, he paused and his gaze deepened. “I’ve really underestimated Su-kun in the past. He can even influence American policies. Heh heh, he’s really advancing step by step.”
Looking at the cherry blossom tree in a daze for a long time, Yagawa Masaru suddenly laughed softly. “However… I’m an outsider now anyway. The country’s crisis might be our opportunity…”
Actually, there were many tycoons and wealthy men who harbored such thoughts.
Just like the question the old man had asked Yagawa Masaru earlier: Are you planning to defect?
‘What do you mean defection…
‘Loyalty is required before betrayal!
‘How could I be considered a traitor!
‘After all, capitalists know no borders.’
For these big shots, every place with capital in the world was their country. Even if they had their own country, most of the time, they considered their own interests the most.
For example, Su Yang had single-handedly pushed Japan’s economic crisis.
‘Are there no tycoons or wealthy people who can’t see what’s happening?
‘Of course there are!
‘Even though they couldn’t tell at the start, as Su Yang attacked more frequently, more and more clues were exposed. Actually, many people with ulterior motives could tell.
‘However, they did not choose to interfere. Instead, they chose to wait for an opportunity.
‘Other than the fact that interfering now would not save Japan, it’s also because… They’ve got their eyes on their own country!
‘Throwing money into the stock market and then robbing the entire country’s money in the end. Isn’t that just perfect?
‘Wouldn’t it be nice to stockpile cash in advance and then take advantage of the Great Depression to acquire bankrupt companies?
‘Then, transfer this money overseas and return with the foreign currency after everything is settled. Wouldn’t that just be great?
‘Instead, to go head to head with Su Yang, who has already established his power, has a huge amount of cash in his hands, and could even control the president of the country, wasn’t that foolish?
‘Therefore, even though many people have seen through Su Yang’s plan, they aren’t making an enemy out of him.
‘As a result, Su Yang’s “momentum” is getting bigger and bigger. He’s practically unstoppable.
‘In fact, if they supported the country, there would be patriotic businessmen who were willing to fight with Su Yang. However, not long after Nakai Yuuki was elected as the president of the country, there were people who exposed the close relationship between Su Yang and Su Yang on a small scale.
‘There are even rumors that Nakai Yuuki was elected as the president because of Su-kun.
‘Even though many do not believe this news, it didn’t stop them from investigating.
‘Furthermore, the timing of Nakai Yuuki’s appointment is just too strange.
‘Moreover, if this is all a conspiracy theory, it’s not just Nakai Yuuki, even America’s timely rate cuts would be strange.
‘Thus, many tycoons and wealthy men have sent their men to America to inquire about the reason for the interest drop. In the end, they managed to find the governor of Hawaii and the current governor of America.
‘Finally, it all points to Su Yang…’
From Su Yang’s arrangements in America to Makai Yuuki’s appointment, the tycoons felt that there was a high chance that Nakai Yuuki was Su Yang’s agent!
It was also at that moment that everyone finally understood what Su Yang had planned! He was simply playing with the three big countries.
Firstly, he borrowed a huge sum of foreign currency from China and used China to suppress Japan, causing Japan to retaliate. This created an international impression of Japan’s non-negotiable exchange rate. After that, he used USD to lower interest rates, which resulted in a massive increase in the yen’s exchange rate.
In the end, he made use of Japan’s economy to force the cabinet to resign and push his own people up.
At that moment, there was no longer any obstruction in Japan. It was akin to a piece of fat meat lying on Su Yang’s plate.
Such ambition, such means, and such shocking means made all the Japanese tycoons fearful of going against him.
How are they supposed to become his enemy? Do they know if Su Yang has any backup plans?
How are they supposed to become his enemies? Even their own country’s president was one of his people.
Hence, there was no way for them to fight him!
Therefore, even if many people found out about this, they did not dare to confront Su Yang. They could only think of ways to protect themselves and gain more benefits…
But, in reality, they did not think as much.
It was true that Su Yang had made so many plans, but they were all just to borrow the strength of others. In fact, they were wrong to think that Nakai Yuuki was Su Yang’s man.
Nakai Yuuki merely had a common interest with Su Yang at some point in time, so they came to an agreement.
In addition to helping Nakai Yuuki become the president of the country and suppressing the yen’s exchange rate, they had another agreement.
And that promise was not yet used.
Other than these two collaborations, the two of them were not even allies.
Therefore, in order to prevent others from finding out about his relationship with Nakai Yuuki, Su Yang arranged for someone to release the news that Nakai Yuuki was promoted by him. It seemed to be true and false, but it also made his own people in the magnesium country reveal that he was planning everything behind the scenes.
Then, he used this to intimidate all the enemies.
Luckily, everything went according to Su Yang’s expectations!
Due to all these schemes, Japan had indeed become a piece of meat in Su Yang’s bowl, a piece of meat that he did not dare to resist…
In the next half a month, under Su Yang’s command, Wei Lin started to withdraw from the stock market in an orderly manner.
Even though tens of billions of yen was already a huge amount on the market, with Little Deeny, the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence, making orders and withdrawing orders in milliseconds, and Wei Lin, the godly manipulator, operating the market non-stop.
Su Yang’s funds started to leave swiftly.
Of course, it was impossible for the withdrawal of this amount of money to not cause a shock in the stock market. Japan’s index had fallen for two consecutive days, and it did not have the trend of rising daily.
However, everyone in Japan was still speculating about it, and that No matter what news it was, it was considered to be good news.
So the two-day decline was interpreted by experts and the general public as a normal retreat during the upturn.
They believed that this was the healthy market for a bull market. After all, only a reasonable retreat would allow them to attack better.
So more people mortgaged everything and took advantage of this rare drop to enter the market. They believed that they had to bet everything to catch up to this last bus of wealth…
Only a few corporations and international investors knew that Su Yang was preparing to make his exit.
Therefore, everyone tacitly started to withdraw their funds on a small scale…
The Japanese stock market began its steady rise and fall…
A week later, all of Su Yang’s funds had left the market. From the 21 trillion yen that he had invested into the stock market to his departure, Su Yang’s total capital had increased to 5.6 trillion yen. It was more than double his capital.
After all, everything that Su Yang bought and set up was a huge blockbuster, and the profitability was astonishing. If it were not for the fact that it had dropped quite a bit during the sale, he would probably have earned even more.
The 160 billion yen that Jiadian Group had exchanged with Yagawa Masaru had also successfully turned into 400 billion yen, leaving altogether.
After leaving the stock market, Su Yang held 6 trillion yen in cash. He could be said to be the person with the most cash in Japan.
Su Yang’s plan for Japan’s collapse was only one step away…
Before that, he needed to put all the other miscellaneous tasks into practice…
A few days later, Su Yang and Yagawa Masaru’s old friendship appeared in the newspapers and media.
In these reports, Su Yang and Yagawa Masaru were said to have known each other for a long time. Then, after Su Yang became a top tycoon in China, Yagawa Masaru found Su Yang’s contact number and called him. The two of them chatted happily as usual.
Yagawa Masaru had admired Chinese culture for a long time, and Su Yang was also curious about the Japanese market. Therefore, the two of them decided to cooperate.
That was how the Jiadian Group entered Japan.
The next day, Su Yang posted another piece of news to his many Japanese fans. He forwarded one of the articles and thanked Yagawa Masaru “sincerely”…
