Chapter 168

When Soros, who was in a small town with beautiful scenery in the United States, noticed the change in the Japanese stock market and decided to sell again, the person on the other side of the phone said to Soros: "Okay, Soros, then we will wait for your call." It's over." After finishing speaking, he and Soros hung up the phone respectively.

After Soros hung up the phone, he stood in front of the window, looked into the distance, and took a deep breath.At the beginning, he and his Quantum Fund failed miserably in Eastern Asia, not only losing money, but also losing reputation and face.But now, an opportunity has appeared for him to stand up again, an opportunity for him and the Quantum Fund to re-enter the eyes of the world has appeared. Soros secretly vowed that he must stand up where he fell, which hurt him The East is his new starting point, and the Japanese stock market is destined to become a stepping stone for him to stand on the world financial stage again.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the bright sun shone on the faces of the world. On July 2003, 7, the second day of the July 8th Incident, the world has undergone tremendous changes. The world's financial stage is full of turmoil, and the dark tide is instigating, which indicates that the world will not be peaceful on this day.

Today, the Japanese stock market was hit hard at the opening and was hit hard.Subsequently, the US stock market also fell slightly, and the Nasdaq index fell slightly.What's more, a lot of remarks and news that are not conducive to the stocks of high-tech companies are frequently issued, and large-scale capital transfers around the world. These signs indicate that major things will happen today.

At 7:30 a.m. in Tokyo, Japan, 30 minutes before the opening of the Japanese stock market, Sony Corporation announced in a high-profile manner that Nobuyuki Idei, who once worked for Sony and led Sony Corporation to create brilliant achievements, made a mistake in decision-making last year. , which led to Sony’s huge losses last year, and the company’s stock price continued to fall, so he took the blame and resigned, and announced that Sony Corporation will be temporarily in charge of Sony Corporation by "Howard Stringer", the head of Sony America, as the chairman and chief executive officer .

After the news was released by Sony, it caused an uproar in the industry, and everyone was extremely shocked.Originally, Sony announced last year's financial statements yesterday that it had a huge loss of more than 9 million, and the stock price was sniped, causing the stock price to drop sharply, making Nobuyuki Idei, the most successful CEO of Sony, instantly reduced to the worst and unlucky CEO.No one in the outside world expected that Sony would act so quickly and decisively. In just a few dozen hours a night, the company's CEO was replaced, and the positions of CEO and chairman were replaced by Sony's history. The first foreigner on board.

Later, he joined Sony Corporation to accelerate the pace of Sony's reform and reshape Sony's glory. Since June 2005, he has served as the chairman and CEO of Sony Corporation, the representative executive officer of the company, and a member of the board of directors.

He once said: "During the eight years I joined Sony, I was deeply shocked by the company's profound and extensive culture and connotation, as well as its dedicated and excellent colleagues. Together, we lead the entire consumer electronics world, Through products full of inspiration and creativity, we have changed the way people entertain and communicate.

With the joint efforts of various business departments of the group, Sony has achieved unparalleled great achievements in the past nearly 60 years.However, we cannot allow past achievements to be a hindrance to our continued progress.We must inherit past achievements and create new glories. "

Howard?Stringer is an American financial genius with a tough wrist and excellent business acumen.Peter knew this man very well.When he heard the news announced by Sony, Peter was really surprised and had to admire Sony's efficiency and decision-making, and it only brought this person in such a short period of time.

For Sony, when it was released by Howard?When it was announced that Stringer was the chairman and president of Sony Corporation, while the industry exclaimed, they were also optimistic about Sony Corporation's prospects.This is not only for Howard?The affirmation of Stringer's personal ability also expressed his admiration for Sony's decisive decision in times of crisis.The market and all walks of life are optimistic.Of course, in this, there is also a little bit of Japanese who are the dogs of the United States, and a little bit of admiration for Americans.

And Nintendo and other high-tech companies that also incurred huge losses have also released news that they will consolidate the company's non-performing assets, and at the same time issued a series of new plans, making the market optimistic about these companies.

Although a dozen companies headed by Sony had suffered huge losses before, each company decisively came up with new policies on the second day, and its bold reforms have been recognized by the market, especially Sony. The company has received a lot of praise from the market.

Whether it will be effective in the end depends on how these companies operate in the future.But at this moment, investors in the market have stabilized their uneasy thoughts about the company and rekindled their confidence in the company.

Following the major companies, while the outside world was still silent about the reform news of companies such as Sony, the head of the Japanese government's Finance Agency announced in a high-profile manner that it would lower the interest rate of the National Bank of Japan from 6% to 5.5%. 0.5 percent, a reduction of [-] percent.At the same time, it also announced that the government will do its best to stabilize the stock market. If the losses of major companies this time cause a disaster in the Japanese stock market, the Japanese government will send a large amount of money to rescue the market.

While releasing a series of policies, the Minister of Finance of Japan also called on many investors in Japan to have confidence in the Japanese stock market, believe in the Japanese economy, and not to be confused by superficial phenomena and make panic selling behaviors.

Japan's big move in a row has stimulated the confidence of Japanese investors in the Japanese stock market. The positive performance of major companies has made many investors see hope in the Japanese stock market again.In particular, the Japanese government's action to rescue the market made investors believe that yesterday's overall decline in the stock market was only a short-term crisis.

In a small town with beautiful scenery in the United States, Soros had an inscrutable smile on his face, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, watching the Japanese stock market and saying to himself: "Hehe, it's really interesting, it seems that I guessed right , there is indeed a problem! Now it seems that the problem is not small!"

At this moment, Xiao Tian and Peter, who were in a secret room in City H, had already made their preparations early, paying close attention to the news from all aspects of Japan, and paying attention to the latest trends in the US stock market and the European stock market.The two people who hadn't slept all night didn't have any tired look on their faces. On the contrary, on the faces of the two of them and many other players, there was a strange look of excitement.

"Mr. Xiao, the Japanese government frequently promulgated more favorable policies early in the morning. It seems that the result of their discussions last night was aimed at us. Our actions yesterday have already made them nervous, and they are afraid that we will further make matters worse. They are also afraid that we will have to stop, and if we make things bigger, if we don't stop, it will cause uncontrollable consequences." Peter looked at the news from Japan and calmly analyzed it to Xiao Tian.

However, the actions of the Japanese government and major companies are so fast that Xiao Tian and others are really unexpected. The feasibility of their intervention is much smaller.After all, driven by good news from all sides, once the stock market opens, the stock prices of Sony and several other companies will basically rise.Moreover, once the confidence of Japanese investors and stockholders in the stock market comes back, they will only be disappointed.

Xiao Tian nodded, and very much agreed with Peter's analysis, and Xiao Tian was also worried for a while about the Japanese government's actions so fast.It's just that the Japanese government took a comprehensive rescue of the market just one day after it was closed to the limit. This is really unexpected and completely illogical, and most investors have never thought of it.

In this case, those investors who encountered this kind of thing basically lost money to close their positions, and if they could lose a little, they would pay less.However, this time the Japanese government is facing the Nantian Group, which has hundreds of billions of NT dollars in assets, and the gold medal player of the Quantum Fund, which has tens of billions of dollars. They have long been prepared for the actions of the Japanese government and major Japanese companies However, it is still unknown who will win the game.

At 6:50 Beijing time and 7:45 Tokyo time in Japan, a piece of news came from Wall Street, the mythical place of the US stock market. A reporter from the "Wall Street Journal" interviewed Warren Buffett, the mythical stock god of Wall Street, on a global live broadcast. In fact, he conducted an intermittent interview on yesterday's Japanese stock market.

When facing countless audiences around the world, the stock god Buffett said: "In my "personal opinion", because the major high-tech blue-chip companies led by Sony have suffered serious losses in their financial statements, it is It is the first time that Sony has suffered such a huge loss since its development more than 20 years ago. Moreover, other related profit production items have also suffered heavy losses in the market, such as Sony's LCD TV panels and Sony Ericsson's telephone communications. Moreover, Sony Corporation has also suffered unprecedented losses in film investment. Every project that could have produced huge profits has lost more than hundreds of millions of dollars. Since its investigation and analysis of the market is not comprehensive enough, this is not accidental , but an inevitability. Under the guidance of this inevitability, I "personally speculate" that it will be a very difficult and difficult thing for Sony to turn losses into profits in the next 25 years, or in other words, the hope of success is very slim. "

When Buffett said this, a reporter from the "Wall Street Journal" asked: "Mr. Buffett, Sony still has a lot of products, such as the second-class project that brought Sony a profit of 25 billion US dollars last year. Couldn't these make Sony turn around? Is it profitable?"

After listening to the reporter's question, Buffett smiled slightly and said: "Of course, Sony's blockbuster product 2 is very good, and it brought huge profits to Sony last year. But everyone should know that the market for home machines like the 2 is Limited, and Sony has sold a lot last year, and the market has become saturated. Therefore, I estimate that it will be difficult for Sony to create brilliant performance for its blockbuster product 2. And everyone should remember one thing, 2 is not the only home game console in the market now, there are already competitors in the United States, such as the home console launched by Microsoft, which is also very good. Once Sony wants to continue to maintain its market share in home consoles, avoid If it is scrambled by Microsoft, Sony will inevitably continue to develop follow-up products. In this way, Sony needs to invest a lot of money for development. But in this case, it will give liquidity to Sony, which has suffered huge losses last year. Bringing unimaginable heavy pressure to the world.” Buffett’s words were very ingenious. In his words, he repeatedly stated “personal opinion” and “personal speculation” and so on. Moreover, when Buffett completed Peter’s request, He also made an advertisement for his old friend Gates' Microsoft Corporation, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
