Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Saito Ii did not think about hostile takeovers, because he had investigated the shareholding of all high-quality Japanese manufacturing companies, and the shares were in a "highly concentrated state".

Take the Honda Group for example. The actual controller, Ikki Otaki, holds 31% of the shares. The remaining 69% of the group's shares, 40% of which are in the hands of various Wall Street tycoons, that is to say, the actual circulation of Honda Group shares is only 29%, or even less.

Suppose someone buys all 29% of the circulating shares in the stock market, it will not reach the exercise line of the 30% veto power. Moreover, large groups have "poison pill plans", so Saito Ii, including all members of the FSA Financial Services Agency, did not think about hostile takeovers.

"Bakayar! International capital really treats our stock market as an ATM. If they need money, they come to us to get it!"

"Too much!!!"

"Is there no way to counter it?"

All members of the FSA Financial Services Agency were indignant and wanted to tear up the short sellers.

But do they have the ability?

Obviously not.

Whether it is the capital markets of Japan, South Korea, Europe, the United States or other countries, they all have one characteristic, that is, they are too open and believe in the market's ability to regulate.

For example, the Internet bubble of the US stock market burst. In three years, the US stock market fell by as much as 80%. If this is placed in a market with strong monitoring and strong supervision like Longguo, the market will fall by about 30%, and the national team will come out to support and protect the interests of investors.

If you choose to be open and choose high risks, you must give up the ability to control and regulate, but as a return, the investment income will be higher.

If you choose strong monitoring and strong supervision, and strengthen your own regulatory ability, the corresponding investment income will also be reduced.

This is why, when the Asian financial crisis came in 1997, you heard that the Japanese and Korean stock markets were sniped, the Hong Kong stock market was sniped, and the Southeast Asian stock market was sniped, but you have never heard of the A-share market being sniped. This is the advantage of strong supervision.

As the backbone of the FSA, Saito Ii did not worry about who was shorting, but asked the secretary:

"What is the decline?"

"2%!"

"Turn on the projector quickly."

With Saito Ii's order, the projector in the conference room turned on.

After a while.

The Nikkei 225 index page appeared.

"Why is it falling so fast? I just saw it was still 2%, how come it has reached 5% all of a sudden? What happened?"

The secretary was confused.

It was less than ten minutes since he discovered that the rise turned into a fall, and the decline expanded to 5%. Wouldn't it be a circuit breaker again?

Saito Ii looked at the stock market that was about to be circuit-broken, suppressed his anger and said: "The automobile sector led the decline, and Toyota Group's decline was the most severe. There must be something wrong in the automobile field. Go and investigate immediately."

"I will check it right away."

The secretary responded timidly.

...

At the same time.

On the other side.

Toyota Group Headquarters Building.

The boss, Takahiro Nishikawa, stared at the computer screen in front of him, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to overflow, as if what was in front of him was not the computer screen, but his father's murderer.

He didn't expect that just when "Hydrogen Energy Battery" had a slight improvement, Longxing Group's "Thor Solid-State Lithium Battery" had a new breakthrough, which disrupted his entire deployment.

You know, Japanese cars were forced to withdraw from the Longguo market, and Japanese car companies such as Honda and Toyota faced a serious supply and marketing crisis.

The emergence of a supply and marketing crisis means that the group's cash flow is at risk of breaking.

Anyone who has run a company knows that once the cash flow breaks and cannot be replenished in time, no matter how big the group is, it will collapse.

Since business operations are often accompanied by high debt, once your cash flow is broken and discovered, banks and other creditors will come to your door immediately. If they are sure that you cannot replenish your cash flow, they will apply to freeze existing assets for debt repayment.

This is why Evergrande Group and Country Garden were still able to operate before their debts were exposed.

At the moment when the trillion-dollar debt came out, even a fool knew that they would not be able to pay it back.

Knowing that they could not pay it back, what would the bank do?

Four words, seal and freeze!

From the bank's perspective, a company owes a trillion yuan in debt, which basically means that the capital chain has been broken, and it can only seal and freeze the existing property to make up for the bank's loan.

"Chen Xing, do you really want to kill me?"

Nishikawa Takahiro asked a soul-searching question.

He had been raising money everywhere, and even sold 17% of his shares, thinking that he would complete the layout of hydrogen energy vehicles as soon as possible and regain his position.

But what about now?

Lithium battery technology has made another breakthrough!

If lithium battery technology has always maintained its leading position, then even if hydrogen energy batteries are successfully developed, it will not replace lithium batteries and become the new favorite in the new energy vehicle market.

When Nishikawa Takahiro was furious, his phone suddenly rang.

When he pressed the answer button, his pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes went black. He felt that the whole world was spinning. If he hadn't been sitting on a chair, he would have fallen down.

After an unknown period of time, Nishikawa Takahiro gradually recovered his vision, but his expression was extremely depressed, like an eggplant that had already wilted.

He didn't say anything and hung up the phone silently.

He suppressed his anger, sat up straight again, and quickly clicked the mouse to open the largest social media platform in the island country.

At this time, the entry "Hydrogen Energy Battery Safety Hazards" appeared at the top of the hot search list of the media platform.

Clicking on the hot search terms, a test video comes into view.

The video is only five minutes long, but the title is extremely eye-catching, called "Revealing the safety of hydrogen energy batteries".

The first second after opening the video, Takahiro Nishikawa recognized that the background of the video was their Toyota Group's automobile research and development base.

As the video began to play, it entered the collision test of hydrogen energy vehicles. At the moment when the two cars rear-ended each other, a mushroom cloud appeared in front of everyone.

"Damn it!!!"

"Who leaked the video!!!"

Takahiro Nishikawa gritted his teeth.

When talking about the safety of hydrogen energy batteries, he always chooses to avoid it.

Even if an investor asks, he will deliberately avoid this topic, because the power of hydrogen energy battery explosion is indeed a bit large.

It is called a hydrogen energy battery, but in fact it is no different from a hydrogen bomb.

The video not only shows the power and instability of hydrogen energy batteries, but also leaks internal test data.

After hundreds of thousands of people watched the video, countless island netizens expressed their concerns and began to boycott spontaneously.

[Takai Yokohisa]: "Damn beast, this is the hydrogen-powered car that our car companies have been promoting? This is a Syrian tank!"

[Numata Keisuke]: "Who can guarantee that there will be no car accident when driving? Driving on the road is risky, and now you can go out with a hydrogen-powered bomb. Whoever buys a hydrogen-powered car, I will kill him. I am not kidding!"

[Yajima Kohei]: "Boycott hydrogen-powered cars, everyone boycott hydrogen-powered cars!"

[Hirabayashi Tetsuji]: "I would rather drive a fuel car for my whole life than buy a hydrogen-powered car. Damn Toyota Group, go to hell!"

A fuel car will break down at most when it is rear-ended.

A lithium battery car will catch fire at most when it is rear-ended.

But a hydrogen-powered car will not break down or catch fire when it is rear-ended. It will break down here and there, and the owner and the rear-end driver will have to leave the biosphere!

Even if you dare to drive it, no one will dare to sit in it, let alone buy it.

The sudden leak of the internal test video, coupled with the overwhelming online public opinion, made Nishikawa Takahiro exhausted both physically and mentally.

With the technological breakthrough of Thor solid-state battery outside and the safety problem of hydrogen energy battery inside, he really couldn't cope with it.

He never expected that Chen Xing could actually instigate Toyota Group's R\u0026D personnel to leak internal test videos thousands of miles away.

When he was depressed, Takahiro Nishikawa silently turned off his mobile phone. He knew very well that an investor would call to question the situation soon, and he had no energy to deal with it.

Things were just as he expected. Seeing that the online public opinion was one-sided and netizens boycotted hydrogen energy vehicles, Toyota Group's investors collectively couldn't sit still and wanted to call Takahiro Nishikawa to find out the details.

[Hello, the phone you dialed is turned off, please call again later...]

No response is the best response.

After confirming that hydrogen energy vehicles have the risk of explosion and there is no way to solve it, Toyota Group's stock price fell rapidly.

Even if Toyota Group's public relations team issued a statement to clarify as soon as possible, saying that the group has "collision energy discharge technology" that can instantly discharge the energy of hydrogen energy batteries at the first time of vehicle collision to avoid explosion.

However, netizens did not buy it at all, and instead made public opinion more and more intense.

This is like depositing money in a bank in a Middle Eastern country. You want interest, but they want the principal. Is the little money saved by hydrogen energy vehicles more important than life?

The Toyota Group's plunge, taking the Nikkei 225 Index down, soon hit the first circuit breaker line of 7%.

The stock market circuit breaker, investors lost money, and another large wave of island investors "took over" and began to scold Toyota Group on the Internet.

[Yamagata Yuichi]: "It was going well today, but the damn Toyota Group dragged down the entire automotive sector!"

[Suzuki Sadahisa]: "No, I want to ask, which genius came up with the idea of ​​hydrogen-powered cars? What's the difference between this and suicide cars?"

[Kitada Yuki]: "Go to hell, Toyota Group, I was blind and bought this broken stock. I just bought it yesterday and lost 9% today. I can't keep it!"

The stockholders of the island country are now gritting their teeth at the Toyota Group. They were still making money half an hour after the opening, but suddenly there was a circuit breaker for the market to fall. Can you bear this?

After the ten-minute circuit breaker cooling-off period, the stocks of the Toyota Group and even the entire automotive sector were sold off.

The stock price of the Toyota Group started a second round of decline, from 689 yen at the opening to 514 yen, equivalent to 32 yuan per share in Longguo currency.

As public opinion intensified, the stock price of the Toyota Group also fell.

471 yen.

442 yen.

407 yen.

Not only Toyota Group's stock price plummeted, but also Honda Group, Mitsubishi Group and other Japanese companies plummeted. The market seems to have abandoned the automobile sector, and stampede cashing out has occurred.

What is stampede cashing out?

To put it bluntly, it is insufficient acceptance.

When stocks form panic selling, you want to sell at 420, others want to leave at 419, and then someone sells at 418.

Rushing to be the first.

Running against each other.

Before the bid is made below, a lower price is refreshed. No one is stupid. In this case, everyone will think about waiting and buying the same number of stocks with less money.

…

Longguo Shencheng.

Longxing Group Bantian Base.

Li Daxiao looked at the avalanche of the Nikkei 225 Index and shouted excitedly: "Panic, the little bastards are panic selling!"

"Mr. Chen is awesome. I didn't expect you to have the internal testing video of hydrogen energy vehicles!"

"If you hit the snake within seven inches, Toyota will be finished!"

"Collect the chips quietly, we are not in a hurry, but we must not get discovered!"

On the securities trading floor, Yang Delong, Liu Jipeng, and all the hot money traders couldn't help but admire Chen Xing.

They didn't expect that Chen Xing would hold back a fatal move.

Hydrogen energy vehicles have safety hazards, which is the most deadly news.

Why do you say this?

A car is a means of transportation, safety comes first, and saving money comes second.

Looking back at the past car recalls by major car companies, they were basically related to the safety of the car itself. As long as there were problems with high fuel consumption, they would not care.

For example, the official fuel consumption of Luzhijie is 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers. When tested in the car, it was twice as much. The doubled fuel consumption also made Luzhijie ridiculed by netizens, saying that it is a strategic partner of Long Petroleum. .

Faced with doubled fuel consumption, all fools knew that there was something wrong with the fuel consumption system of Lucjet, but because safety was not involved, Lucjet did not choose to recall the vehicles.

This can also reflect that saving fuel is the second priority, but saving life is the first priority!

Chen Xing asked people to publish the internal test video of hydrogen energy vehicles just to make a fuss about safety issues.

If nothing else happens, even if the safety issues of hydrogen energy vehicles are solved in the future, not many car owners will pay for them.

Why do not many car owners pay for it even if the safety problem of hydrogen energy vehicles is solved?

Very simple.

This involves stereotypes.

For example, the Iveco Dajinbei was the van that ranked first in sales nationwide and was even more popular than Wuling Hongguang.

It can often be seen in the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies transporting his younger brother, and is known as Chen Haonan's mobile office.

But what's the result?

The rival manufacturer directly resorted to damage measures and bought 200 Iveco Dajinbei, which were transferred to major funeral homes at half price.

Not only that, the rival manufacturer also asked the rival manufacturer to compile a song called "Qingming Festival: Bless the Children". The first line of the lyrics is "Iveco Big Gold Cup, pull out the ashes of the dead", which directly hit the bottom of the sales of Iveco Big Gold Cup. .

After this set of business war routines, as long as people see the Iveco Gold Cup, they will immediately avoid it, thinking that there is another dead person or ashes on it, so as not to be contaminated with bad luck.

Even though Iveco tried to clarify several times that it was not a funeral parlor-specific vehicle, the results were mediocre. The brainwashing song "Iveco's big gold cup, pulls out the ashes of the dead" has made it a special vehicle for funeral parlors.

To this day, people still believe that the Iveco Golden Cup is a vehicle exclusively for funeral parlors. This is the horror of the stereotype, which directly makes the best-selling vehicle exclusively for funeral parlors.

Chen Xing has long been adept at playing with public opinion. Facing the admiration from Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others, he asked:

"How many votes are left?"

"Based on the total equity of Toyota Group, we have gained another 4%. The panic market on the other side is still running. At this time, we cannot let retail investors in Japan feel the existence of the bottom."

Li Daxiao responded.

No matter what you buy, it's best not to let the other person feel your urgency.

For example, if you buy clothes at a bargain price, the more you show that you like it, the boss can easily manipulate you and make you pay obediently.

But if you act casually and leave immediately after being rejected, the clothing store owner may accept your bargain.

Chen Xing nodded slightly and agreed.

…

The continued decline of the Nikkei 225 has also made many retail investors in island countries see the market clearly, and there has been another wave of account cancellations.

Account cancellation is accompanied by liquidation, which means more chips in the market. With limited capacity, the island country's stock market experienced a second circuit breaker, suspending trading for another ten minutes.

Faced with this level of decline, everyone at the FSA Financial Department was completely unable to sit still. Saitoi once again called the National Bank of the island country, hoping to mobilize another batch of funds to rescue the market.

The national bank of the island country was also very happy and quickly allocated 160 billion yen, which is equivalent to 10 billion yuan in dragon currency, hoping to stabilize the stock market.

As the circuit breaker period ended, the entire Nikkei 225 market plummeted.

"What to save first?"

the island nation's national team trader asked.

"Save finance first, then save medical care, and connect these two main lines."

Saitoi responded quickly.

It is obviously impossible to save the manufacturing industry, because now the automobile sector is affected by bad news, so we can only save other sectors first, pull up the market, and then think about other things.

"I understand, save the finance first!"

"Pull up the financial sector, quickly, quickly!"

"Save finance, save finance!"

The Japanese national team began to exert efforts to pull stocks in the financial sector, trying to stabilize the market and prevent it from continuing to fall.

However, in the panic selling mood, 160 billion yen was quickly consumed, and a large number of retail investors chose to leave the market.

Some of their accounts lost 50%, some lost 60%, and some even lost 70%. In less than two years, they lost 70%, and the market has not seen any signs of bottoming. How can this market still play?

All the suppressed emotions and all the investors who were trying to make money in the stock market exploded during the two circuit breakers, and they all chose to close their positions and close their accounts instead of playing in this bullshit market.

"Give me another 160 billion, and I will definitely be able to save the market!"

"There's no time, hurry up!"

"Market sentiment must be stabilized, otherwise today will be the end of the island country's economy!"

"I only want 160 billion!"

Qito Ii kept calling, he was frantically raising funds for the rescue.

However, what he didn't know was that while he was pulling the financial lever, the traders of Longxing Group were constantly buying Toyota Group stocks.

"I bought another 3 million!"

"Switch account, keep buying!"

"The stocks will be transferred to the international fund account immediately to prevent the other party from pulling the plug!"

"6 million, another big order!"

"These little bastards are panicking, big orders are coming one after another, it seems that they are scared by the circuit breaker, hahaha!"

Amid laughter, Toyota Group's stocks began to concentrate.

However, due to the operation of multiple securities accounts, the warning of malicious acquisition has never been triggered, which also made the island country's top leaders unaware.

When it was afternoon, when the market was about to close, Li Daxiao's breathing became rapid, and he said in a deep voice: "The last 40 million shares, raise the price for me!"

"Crackle!"

The keyboard sounded flying.

The last 40 million shares, there is no need to hide them anymore, the most important thing is to get them as quickly as possible.

327 yen.

349 yen.

370 yen.

The ruthless buying made Toyota Group's stock price start to rise.

The sudden and blatant capital intervention attracted the attention of the FSA Financial Agency. When Saito Ii learned the news, he immediately felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Thor solid-state battery technology breakthrough.

Hydrogen energy battery was exposed to safety hazards.

The automobile sector led the decline.

Mysterious funds intervened in a high-profile manner.

The moment these information were connected, a terrible idea emerged in Saito Ii's mind. He quickly looked at the trading team and shouted: "Quick, buy Toyota Group stocks!"

"Quick, quick, quick!!!"

The trading team of the FSA Financial Agency heard the words and quickly tapped the keyboard to enter the stock code of Toyota Group.

When they went out to buy, the trading team of Longxing Group used the quantitative trading software designed by Jiang Ce to be faster and more rapid than them.

The two trading teams swept the stock, making the stock price of Toyota Group higher and higher.

"What happened?"

"What happened to Toyota Group?"

"400 yuan!"

"Still rising!"

"410 yuan, I have to run, the national team may be pulling!"

"Then I will leave too!"

"If you all leave, I will leave too!"

While commenting on the trading software, the stockholders of the island country sold their stocks one after another, thinking of making T to earn the difference.

Those who are familiar with the financial market know that if the national team takes action to support the bottom, it will definitely fall back after a while.

This is because the national team cannot hold the stocks forever. When it finds the right time, it needs to return the stocks to the market.

...

At this time, all the traders on the securities trading floor of Longxing Group were very excited. They were about to complete a hostile takeover of a trillion-level listed company!

"2 million shares, the last 2 million shares!"

"You little bastard, are you going to be so desperate? You're offering a 3% premium!"

"Buy ETF funds!"

"Yes, scan all ETF stock funds that include Toyota Group!"

"I've completed another big deal, 600,000 shares!"

"Beautiful!!!"

"Awesome!!!"

With only ten minutes left before the closing, more and more retail investors in the island country are choosing to sell their stocks, fearing that there will be another limit down tomorrow.

Due to the competition between the two waves of people, the share price of Toyota Group has reached 700 yen, an increase of 19%, which makes many stockholders feel that this may be the price today, and they immediately sell their stocks.

As soon as they click to sell, the quantitative trading software recognizes the price and eats them all directly!

1.8 million shares.

1.3 million shares.

900,000 shares.

Chen Xing, who witnessed the whole process, held his breath, and his heartbeat began to accelerate. Taking over Toyota Group is the most important and critical step in his strategic layout.

As long as the equipment problem is solved, the rest of the problems can be solved.

"One hundred thousand, I bought one hundred thousand shares!"

"It's almost the acquisition line!"

"There's a big order! There's a big order, it's 400,000 shares, retail investors are starting to be afraid of diving!"

"I got them all!"

"Nice!!!"

Under the cheers of everyone, Li Daxiao, who had been silently calculating, blushed and stood up and shouted: "Enough, counting the holdings of ETF stock funds, we have bought enough!"

The moment the voice fell, Chen Xing's hanging heart finally fell. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened his mouth to command the overall situation:

"All overseas funds holding shares will immediately issue a joint statement to transfer the rights of Toyota Group shares to Longxing International Investment Fund."

"In addition!"

Chen Xing looked at Yao Nana and said in a deep voice: "Issue a global announcement in the name of Longxing International Investment Fund to immediately dissolve the original board of directors of Toyota Group and remove all the original board members from their positions. Three hours later, hold an online meeting of the board of directors of Toyota Group." (End of this chapter)
