Chapter 1283
The wailing on Huaerjie had just begun, but the sound had already reached London.
The London Stock Exchange, which is 5 hours different from New York, was about to close in about two hours... However, the news from New York suddenly plunged the London market into panic, and investors also began to sell off one after another!
When the London stock market closed, the stock price had already fallen by nearly 10%!!
Because of the Bretton Woods system, the currencies of various countries were originally closely related to the US dollar.
The day before, when US Treasury Secretary Baker accepted an interview and said "The United States will consider letting the dollar continue to fall," it had already made the European market and the Hong Kong Securities Center, which is connected to the international market, turbulent, and the stock price was already falling after the opening...
Earlier, when the Hong Kong stock market closed, the Hang Seng Index had already fallen by 420 points, a drop of more than 10%, and other Asian stock markets were also very turbulent~
However, at this time, everyone could still speak hard and say it was a "technical adjustment," and it would recover soon, and the market's confidence was very sufficient...
Especially Japan, whose economy is good, is not afraid of the dollar depreciation at all, so the Nikkei Index of the Tokyo stock market, which closed early, only fell by about 2% on October 19th... Everyone also laughed at Shu You Capital for being a coward and a clown because of this...
However, the plunge after the opening of the New York stock market made this statement disappear like smoke...
Genta Nakai in the apartment was watching the latest news in New York on TV, and it was the screen of David David Lu De, Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, accepting an interview with reporters.
Just saw this financial tycoon who had just taken office not long ago, facing the reporter's question, said tactfully:
"Do not rule out the possibility of a short-term market suspension to handle order imbalances."
"!!!"
Hearing this sentence, Genta Nakai knew it was bad!
Under the situation where the market is so broken and the emotions of investors are extremely unstable, they will not listen to your previous professional explanations, will not care about professional terms like "portfolio insurance strategy," they only focus on one keyword—
"Market suspension"!!!
Under the trend of such a plunge in the New York stock market, market suspension means that stocks cannot be sold and are smashed in the hands!!!
"This guy is simply pressing the last straw on the camel!"
Genta Nakai took out a bottle of ice beer and drank it, but the cold liquid couldn't suppress the fire in his chest, only heard him muttering to himself:
"Fall, fall... the harder it falls, the more you earn!"
"..."
In the afternoon, the information of this interview spread to Huaerjie.
Sure enough, after hearing such news, those retail investors and investment institutions that bought stocks with pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance funds, who were originally watching, all started crazy selling!
The Dow Jones Industrial Index, which had slightly recovered in the afternoon, started an avalanche again!
By 2 p. m., the New York Dow Jones Industrial Index had fallen by another 250 points, and was still jumping and falling continuously!
By 4 p. m., when the New York stock market finally closed, the Dow Jones Industrial Index had fallen by a total of more than 500 points, from more than 2200 points at the opening to 1700 points, a drop of more than 22%!!!
And at this time, Tokyo had just passed midnight!!
The Shu You Capital company in Ginza was still brightly lit, but a lot of people had poured into the 12th floor during this period. Some were retail investors, some were brokers of investment institutions, some were previous clients... Everyone was called over by the phone calls of Shu You Capital's employees! The extreme operation last Friday really made many people feel worried!
"That's Naoki Nagayama!" "He is the president of Shu You Capital!" "He is the one who gave the instructions!"
"You should thank Shu You Capital, thank Naoki-san!"
An employee was brainwashing them loudly,
"The United States has completely collapsed. Tomorrow, no, when Tokyo opens this morning, it will definitely encounter a plunge!"
"However, our Shu You Capital has already anticipated this crisis and has been preparing for it during this period!!!"
"Next, everyone should follow our pace closely. We want to go against the current in this crisis... and make a fortune in the stock market crash!"
These who stayed are all loyal followers of Shu You Capital, clients who stayed after screening.
At this time, the plunge in the US stock market made Naoki Nagayama's previous investment strategy the wisest move, and everyone's confidence in Shu You Capital climbed to the peak instantly!
In this early morning, Shu You Capital gathered everyone together just to let everyone unite in the upcoming Japanese plunge, and then make a fortune in the stock market crash!
"If you have friends or clients, you can also pull them together..."
"Good!" "Of course!" "We will!" "..."
It has to be said that the fanatical atmosphere of Shu You Capital at this time is a bit like a pyramid scheme scene!
Time passed minute by minute, and the morning sun filled Tokyo.
The glass curtain wall of the Ginza building shone in the morning light, making one look at it, as if coming to a shining silver city~
However, from the morning, investment companies and financial enterprises in Ginza were all plunged into panic!
Because an hour ago, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange directly announced that the entire Hong Kong Stock Exchange would be closed for a week and would not reopen until the 26th!
And before that, Chicago, New York, London in Europe...
Markets around the world had suffered heavy losses. The New York stock market burned 500 billion US dollars in just one day, almost 1/8 of the annual gross national product!
Chihiro Sugano, the department head of Nomura Securities, naturally came to the company early, staring at the headquarters' computer screen with a nervous face, but still comforting himself in his heart:
"No, no, our great Japan has its own national conditions, and will not be defeated by a small storm!"
"When the Tokyo Stock Exchange opens, it will definitely be great! Just like today's weather!"
"..."
The investment manager Ryosuke Ikeue next to him was holding the landline receiver, and the trader who had already taken his position was opposite, ready to start selling as soon as the market opened...
The department head can look at the whole market, and as an investment manager, he naturally has to ensure the profit of his account!
"Shouldn't have bought those high-risk stocks!"
Ryosuke Ikeue regretted in his heart,
"That Naoki Nagayama, he actually really bet right!"
"Unfortunately... it seems my account is going to suffer..."
At this moment, they still think that the Japanese stock market will only be affected a little bit~
Adjacent Daiwa Securities, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, Mizuho Securities, etc., the largest securities companies, as well as various private equity funds and investment societies, mostly held the same view, believing that Japan would definitely be able to walk out of its own counter-trend in this stock market crash!
After all, Japan's economy is boiling now, everything is at its best...
Can't see any downward trend at all!
"Shu You Capital is just lucky!"
"Naoki Nagayama, that guy, is just cowardly, just happened to avoid this crisis!"
"But for having no confidence in himself and no concentration, he is still too young after all!"
"..."
By now, everyone had to admit orally that Shu You Capital's previous operations were indeed right!
"Dang~~ Dang~~ Dang~~~"
Everything is learned from the West, so the Tokyo Stock Exchange will also ring the bell when it opens.
At the first moment of opening, all investors saw the Nikkei 225 Index start to fall uncontrollably from the point!!!
Point!
Point!
Point!
Point!!!
Point!
Point!
"..."
As the Nikkei Index continued to fall, the atmosphere in the trading hall became restless, and some people even started to cry... The Japanese stock market also plummeted!!!
The Japanese stock market also collapsed!!!
In the observation hall outside, many investors looked at the green stocks and questioned loudly:
"Honduni?!" "Masaka?!"
"Japan also started?" "This is fake! Fake!!" "No one is buying, all are selling!"
"..."
Numerous discussions spread instantly, and as the wind spread, the entire Tokyo began to panic!
You know, Japan's stock market has been soaring in recent years, and almost every family in Japan with a little spare money will invest some money in the stock market! What's more, high leverage is added like this!!!
Even major companies themselves will have a department called "Investment Department," specifically using company profits to speculate in stocks... Every company is a small private equity fund!!
Especially some bold investment managers, who deeply understand the principle of high risk and high return, and the leverage is so high that it is staggering!
People walked onto the street one after another, heading toward the Tokyo Stock Exchange, wanting to see the latest and most real-time stock prices~
And now, outside the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Chuo-ku, it was already full of wailing!!
Many people outside patted their heads and stomped their feet, crying loudly, and some remained silent, not saying a word... From a millionaire to a pauper in a few hours... and even having to owe debt!!
When seeing a car driving on the road, a figure rushed up instantly!!
"Bang..."
The figure rolled on the road, seriously injured... The siren of the ambulance came from far to near...
In the following time, the police had to send several patrol cars to start maintaining order at the scene to prevent unpredictable events from happening!
However, this didn't help!
There were still people who went bankrupt, found a river in the city, and jumped down!
In the subway station, there were dazed passengers who jumped onto the tracks before the subway arrived!
The turmoil started from Chuo-ku and quickly spread to nearby Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Chiyoda...
In a short period of time, the entire Tokyo was filled with various cruel news!!!
By the afternoon, the Nikkei 225 had dived to the point, and many blue-chip stocks and high-performing stocks in the stock market fell wildly, and no one dared to buy them!!!
Nomura Securities investment manager Ryosuke Ikeue was shouting at the phone at this time:
"Sell! Hurry up and sell!! Sell everything!!! At this time, just don't owe debt!!!"
At the same time, the entire headquarters of Nomura Securities was filled with such calls, all investment managers were manic at this time, and there were constant calls from clients...
No need to ask, all are asking to sell!
Chihiro Sugano, as the department head, also stared blankly at the computer screen, seeing the waterfall-like green data, and completely lost his previous composure and boldness.
Ryosuke Ikeue thought about lighting a cigarette to soothe his emotions after finishing the call...
But because of the trembling of his hands, he couldn't light the fire several times...
He angrily crumpled the cigarette into a ball and threw it aside, then turned to see his own department head:
"Sugano Department Head... have you experienced such a stock market crash before?!"
"..."
Chihiro Sugano opened his mouth, then let out a long breath, his whole body hunched up,
"When the US stock market crashed in 1927, I was just born..."
"And this is also the first global stock market crisis after the global marketization!"
"Then..." Ryosuke Ikeue was stunned. "What should we do?!"
"..."
Chihiro Sugano opened his mouth and didn't speak... He really couldn't think of what to do for a while! Past experience once helped him kill all sides in the stock market, but this time...
No experience!
Their conversation attracted the attention of many investment managers around, and after Sugano Department Head stopped talking, everyone fell into silence for a while...
"How about..."
Suddenly a voice,
"Let's go ask Naoki Nagayama?"
As soon as this was said, it instantly moved everyone's hearts!
Indeed, Shu You Capital, Naoki Nagayama, predicted this crisis almost a month in advance!
And he kept promoting his company's views in the market, and what is even more impressive is that before the market closed last Friday, he actually further contracted his company's accounts!
It's as if... as if he predicted that there would be a big disaster next week!
Although on Monday, people in the Japanese financial circle were laughing at him... but now that I think about it, Naoki Nagayama's prediction was not wrong!!
But what he predicted was the stock market crash in New York on Monday! In Japan, it was just one day late!!!
"Let's go find Naoki Nagayama!!! He must know what to do!!!"
In a panic atmosphere, a reliable idea will instantly get everyone's approval!
First from Nomura Securities, then spread to Daiwa Securities...
"Naoki Nagayama's Shu You Capital adopted a conservative strategy and protected the clients' funds from loss!!"
Soon, those private equity funds also heard about this... and felt ashamed one after another!
"Shu You Capital predicted the stock market crash! We shouldn't have laughed at him! We are the clowns!"
Then, I don't know who revealed it to the outside world, and many retail investors also learned about this... In such a stock market crash that happens once in a decade, there is a person who goes against the current, not only protecting his own assets, but also saying he can make a lot of money!!
"Naoki Nagayama predicted the stock market crash in advance!"
"So Shu You Capital perfectly avoided the stock market crash!!"
"Naoki Nagayama knows how to face the stock market crash!!!"
"..."
People in panic are like sheep. As long as there is one leader, everyone will move in the same direction!
"What if Naoki Nagayama doesn't guide us?"
"Then kneel down and beg hard!!!"
Gradually, by the afternoon, outside the Shu You Capital building in Ginza, there were actually many frustrated investors gathered, just like the Tokyo Stock Exchange!!!
At the same time, in the office of Shu You Capital, Naoki Nagayama had just received a big client of Shu You Capital - Takeo Tada, the president of the Shizuoka Forest Association!
"Thank you very much Shu You Capital..."
Takeo Tada thanked sincerely,
"Since early yesterday morning, I knew that believing in Naoki-san was not wrong!"
The Nagayama family bought a lot of mountain forests in Shizuoka, almost becoming the big forest owner of Shimizu, so naturally they had contact with the large association of Forest Union.
Logically, the private equity fund collected by all forest owners of the Shizuoka Forest Association, including the fire fund, was placed under the management of Shu You Capital, totaling more than 2 billion... which is a proper big client.
"Although we ourselves advocate stable income, there were members who came to complain some time ago, saying that Shu You Capital had no profit at all..."
"Didn't expect it was Naoki-san who had foresight!!!"
"President Tada is overpraising, I was just a little cautious!"
Naoki Nagayama replied with a smile,
"For the sake of my own and the clients' assets, the steadier the better!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Takeo Tada was full of smiles. As a person in the timber industry, they naturally paid great attention to the news of the global market... Since yesterday, they knew that the stock markets of various countries had collapsed, and they were originally very worried...
But before, the investment manager of Shu You called to say that all their funds were safely waiting in the account... This is simply great news from heaven!
He is now satisfied with Naoki Nagayama to the point that he can't be more satisfied. If he had a daughter, he would definitely send her to Naoki Nagayama's bed immediately!
"Naoki-san... next, how should we operate?" Takeo Tada asked. "Still a conservative strategy, avoiding this stock market crash?"
"No..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Japan's stock market is different from New York and London..."
"Since the Plaza Accord, Japan's stock market has attracted a large amount of foreign capital. In this situation, this hot money dare not flow to other markets..."
"And Japan's economy is very strong. This stock market crash is just a temporary disaster, and I believe it will recover soon!"
The facts are indeed so. Japan's stock market crash didn't have much government participation, and it recovered soon...
"So, I plan to take advantage of this period, while other stocks are plummeting, to hurry up and buy at the bottom!!!"
"Ah?!!!"
Takeo Tada opened his eyes wide,
"Buy at the bottom?"
"Yes... this is a rare opportunity!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded. He didn't play any index futures in Japan, just wanted to lay a foundation for the future development of Shu You Capital by buying at the bottom in the simplest way.
Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful!
Now his company's account has a large sum of money, and the stocks outside are plummeting collectively...
Isn't this the perfect time to buy at the bottom!!!
After the stock market crash passes, Shu You Capital will be an investment company holding hundreds of the highest-quality stocks in Japan!
"Haha, Naoki-san is indeed different from ordinary people!!!"
Takeo Tada hurriedly echoed and praised. He is now completely convinced of Naoki Nagayama.
After chatting for a while, Takeo Tada got up and said goodbye, and the office became quiet again...
Naoki Nagayama closed his eyes, soothing his tired brain... He had been awake for two days and one night!!
And just at this time, Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang rushed in, her tone full of tension:
"Naoki-san Naoki-san, not good!!!"
"Ah?"
"Many people gathered at the door!!! There are even more downstairs!!!"
The expression on Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang's face was an uncontrollable panic,
"They said... they came to find you!"
"Find me?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. "Who? What are they looking for me for?"
"Some are investment managers, some are private equity fund managers, some are retail investors... they said... they said..."
Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang Jinjing Zhouxiang was too panicked to speak, making Naoki Nagayama anxious!
"What did they say?"
"They said they came to find Naoki-san, wanting you to help them and guide them on what they should do!!"
"Ha?!!!"
