Chapter 864: Lured In To Be Killed
Fortunately, yen was, after all, a world-class safe haven currency. It was very resilient and the money could escape in time. If it was a small country's currency, it would probably collapse.
But even so, they had lost a lot of benefits. In total, they had lost close to 10 billion USD. They had been cut off by this wave of elections.
In half a month, Nakai Yuuki and his Liberal Democrats won the Senate election, and Yugo is certain to be re-elected president.
A month later, Nakai Yuuki became Japan's 96th president.
After his inauguration, he followed through without hesitation on all of his policies: zero interest rates, easy money, and lower exchange rates.
From then on, no one could stop the decline of the yen.
With Su Yang's cooperation, the yen broke through 80 and 90 in just two days, heading straight for the 100 mark.
This meant that two months ago, 75 yen could be exchanged for 1 USD, but now, 100 yen was needed to exchange for 1 USD. The wealth of Japan has been reduced by 25%!
After the exchange rate reached 100, under Su Yang's command, Wei Lin started to purchase yen on a large scale.
Due to the continuous flight of international capital, Su Yang's 20 billion USD was easily converted into yen.
Previously, from the five biggest banks in the country, Su Yang had loaned a total of 160 billion yuan. At that time, the exchange rate was around 80 yen for one USD. Later on, Su Yang took advantage of the rising value of the yen and sold it a few times. The cost price was almost as low as 77 yen for 1 USD. Therefore, after selling it all, he got a total of 20.8 billion USD.
By the time they exchanged the USD for yen, Su Yang's yen assets had already reached 210 billion yen!
This meant that Su Yang had earned 500 billion yen in just two months! Even at the current exchange rate, this was a huge sum worth more than 30 billion yuan!
Furthermore... Su Yang had a second plan.
When Su Yang, Zhao Licheng, and Wei Lin were having a meeting and researching, the plan to destroy Japan was divided into two steps. The first step was to destroy Japan's exchange rate.
The second step was to destroy Japan's stock market!
Based on Little Deeny's data collection, plus Wei Lin and Zhao Licheng's analysis, Su Yang determined that after the yen devaluation, whether it was the Japanese tycoons or the international capital that was stranded in Japan and did not have the time to escape, with the bank interest rate at zero, they had no other choice but to invest their money into the stock market!
Therefore, after the yen depreciates, Japan's stock market will definitely rise!
In that case, as long as there was something to fuel the spark, Japan's stock market would definitely devour the entire country!
Hence, under Su Yang's command, Wei Lin controlled the 2 trillion yen in his hand and started to purchase Japanese stocks on a large scale.
With Su Yang's support, the stock market instantly ignited like a huge burning field.
During the period of the currency depreciation, Japan's citizens were in a daze. Although they had heard Nakai Yuuki's speech and knew that they could only endure this period of pain to save their country, they would still feel pain when a knife was used on them.
No one wanted their hard-earned wealth to depreciate. They wanted to manage their wealth and preserve it.
At that moment, the stock market magically appeared.
As the exchange rate fell, the stock market soared like a rocket. Hence, more and more people realized that... The stock market was doing very well.
'If I want to save myself, maybe I should look at the stock market?'
Therefore, many people tried to buy stocks.
Su Yang was not slow in his action plan, but the other corporations and investors were fast as well. When they saw that someone had thought ahead of them, these corporations and investors started to invest heavily in the stock market.
The stock market in Japan started to rise like crazy, allowing the first wave of people to earn a fortune.
Suddenly, everyone realized that the stock market really seemed to be able to depreciate the assets brought about by the fall in interest rates!
Hence, Japan was suddenly hit with a popularity wave in the stock market, with everyone starting to buy stocks!
This, too, partly obscures the shadow cast by the collapse of the exchange rate...
However, no one realized that as more and more people bought stocks, an even bigger crisis was quietly approaching. It was a crisis that was more dangerous than the drop in the exchange rate. The losses would be much greater, and the scope of impact much wider. In fact, it could even engulf the entire nation...
...
Meanwhile, at Nindentou in Tokyo...
In the past month or so, the president of Nindentou's had been trying his best to contact the tattooed boss who had the contact information of Su Yang's relatives.
Under the sincerity of his gifts, the tattooed boss finally relented and said that he could help Nindentou contact Su Yang's relatives.
However, it was not up to him to decide whether it would work or not.
The president of Nindentou was overjoyed when he heard this.
Right now, everyone knew that Su Yang was a lucky star. He had the latest technology in the world, and as long as they collaborated with him, they would definitely be able to get on the fast track.
Especially during this period of time when the stock market was very hot. Once such news was exposed, the share price might soar!
One had to know that the four automobile companies had only released a little bit of news that they were negotiating with Su Yang about collaborating to develop the electric vehicle series, and that had caused the shares of the four automobile companies to rise by 40%.
If Nindentou could take advantage of Su Yang's popularity and even reach a collaboration with him, it was possible that Nindentou could double the share price of Nindentou when the stock market went crazy!
When that time came, be it reducing the profits or increasing the company's shares, he and the company would make a huge profit!
Whether it was for the rest of his life, the company's new mainframe, or even the development funds for the next generation mainframe, everything would be resolved.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Therefore, the president of Nindentou's club was also a little jealous. He used all sorts of excuses like giving gifts to urge the tattooed boss to contact Su Yang's relative.
The tattooed boss was indeed very smart. After taking someone's gifts, he immediately repaid the favor.
Therefore, after a few days, he brought the president of Nindentou to Kanto to meet the Clown Sea Serpent.
The Clown Sea Serpent behaved as his usual self and was carefree when he met the president of Nindentou. It was as if he did not care about this at all.
When he heard that the president of Nindentou wanted to collaborate with the new graphene battery and glass screen, he scoffed. "You're being too ambitious... What price are you able to come up with?"
The president of Nindentou was very friendly towards this God of Fortune. He said all sorts of nice things about giving gifts, women, and benefits. He was even willing to pay a huge sum of money as compensation.
In the end, he managed to "move" the Clown Sea Serpent. He agreed to help him, bring him to Su Yang, and try his best to help with this matter.
However, before bringing the president of Nindentou to meet Su Yang, the Clown Sea Serpent had also given some instructions to the president.
He said that although Su Yang was young, he was a domineering person. He did not like others to reject him. If the president of Nindentou felt that Su Yang's conditions were not suitable, he would still have to agree to them first without any rejection. After the negotiation was over, he was to inform the Clown Sea Serpent about it and ask for the latter to renegotiate with Su Yang.
The president of Nindentou actually felt that this request was a little strange. However, he did not understand Su Yang's character, so he could only agree to it first.
On the way to Su Yang's hotel, the president of Nindentou thought about many things.
'Is he trying to trick me?
'Should I get someone to take a few pictures and then spread them around to raise my company's stock price?
'If I were to look for Su Yang directly, would we be able to come to an agreement? Is this person here going to sap some profits out of me by being the middleman?
'Am I actually able to cooperate with him.'
However, when they arrived at Su Yang Hotel, the president of Nindentou realized that the money he spent was really "worth it".
When he and the Clown Sea Serpent arrived at the presidential suite, they were stopped by Su Yang's assistant and secretary.
When he saw Su Yang's assistant and secretary, the president of Nindentou's felt a little sour. 'His assistant and secretary are just too beautiful and sexy, aren't they?'
Just by looking at the two of them, the president's imaginations were already running wild with Su Yang and the two of them...
'Could a young man like him actually take it?'
However, the two women that the president of Nindentou coveted did not have a good personality. Even when they saw Su Yang's "relative", they stopped them without hesitation and asked about the president's identity.
After being stopped, the Clown Sea Serpent introduced the president of Nindentou. However, Su Yang's assistant and secretary said that the president of Nindentou was not qualified to meet Su Yang and could only meet Zhao Licheng.
At that time, the president of Nindentou was furious. 'I'm the president of one of the top players in the gaming world, yet they're saying I'm not qualified to meet Su Yang?
'Then, who would be qualified then?!'
In the end... Right after his doubts, he met the current president of the country, Nakai Yuuki, Japan's richest man, Yagawa Masaru, and four of Japan's top 10 companies, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyoda, and Honda's presidents. All of them had personally gone over to meet Su Yang.
These people were all big shots that he could not afford to offend. In front of these people, he was like a young little brother. Hence, when he saw these people, he felt that the assistant was right to say that he was not qualified to meet Su Yang.
Just when he was feeling disheartened and thought that he might have come to the wrong place, the Clown Sea Serpent told him not to worry. He would get Su Yang to meet him.
The president of Nindentou did not know what the Clown Sea Serpent was going to do. However, since his identity did not do anything to help him, he could only trust him instead...
Soon, after waiting for two hours, the president of Nindentou saw the Clown Sea Serpent sneak in for a while. When he returned, he stood proudly before the secretary and assistant that he could not afford to offend.
After a while, the pretty assistant received a call. After she answered, she glared at the Clown Sea Serpent before letting them in.
The president of Nindentou once again imagined what the Clown Sea Serpent had told Su Yang to put in a good word for him and how he had fought for this opportunity for the president.
After entering the presidential suite, the president of Nindentou met the president of Nissan.
He was in the living room, laughing and chatting with Su Yang.
Vaguely, the president of Nindentou heard something. "Okay. We've reached an agreement then."
"No problem. Don't worry. If there's a need, we can make 100,000 parts to show our sincerity."
"Don't worry, I believe in your credibility, Mr. Su."
So on, and so on...
After a while, the two of them stood up and shook hands. The president of Nissan left the presidential suite.
After seeing him and Su Yang chatting happily with each other, the president of Nindentou became even more humble.
After sending the president of Nissan away, Su Yang closed the door and stole a glance at the Clown Sea Serpent.
The Clown Sea Serpent nodded slightly.
At that moment, Su Yang knew that everything that he had planned for that day must have worked.
Actually, Su Yang had his eyes on Nindentou long before he entered Japan. After all, Nindentou was the main bargaining chip between him and Tencent's Mr. Ma.
Therefore, he had set up this plan to lure Nindentou's president in to kill him.
After more than a month of observation, probing, and understanding, Little Deeny had also gradually built the character model of Nindentou's president through his interaction between the tattooed boss. Hence, he now knew this person's personality.
That was why he had come up with that day's plan.
For example, he purposely neglected the president of Nindentou. Then, he purposely let all those big shots meet up with Su Yang that day. After that, he asked the Clown Sea Serpent to enter to "chat" with Su Yang. Finally, he had the president of Nindentou purposely listen in to what the president of Nissan had said.
These were all psychological hints that Little Deeny had specially designed for the president of Nindentou.
Therefore, after this set-up, the following conversation became much simpler.
The president of Nindentou was like a puppet in front of Su Yang.
Therefore, Su Yang followed the plan and made his own conditions. He could supply the glass screen and graphene batteries to Nindentou, but Nindentou's president had to show his sincerity.
Su Yang would give Nindentou glass screen and graphene battery parameters. Then, the blueprint for the new console unit would have to be changed according to these parameters. In return, Nindentou would have to ensure that at least 10 million sets of parts were purchased. Furthermore, they would have to produce 5 million parts for the console in advance to show their sincerity.
As for Jiadian Group, they would consider cooperating after seeing these 5 million parts.
When the president of Nindentou heard this condition, he was dumbfounded!
'What kind of disgraceful condition was this!?
'Not only will I have to change the blueprint, but I also have to produce the parts for the console in advance?
'How could there be such a weird and unreasonable request?
'Who would agree to such a condition!'
However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the president of Nindentou's office suddenly remembered that in this room earlier... The president of Nissan had agreed to this condition.
'No... They were mainly talking about this condition.
'Could...
'Could this be a rule to cooperate with Jiadian Group?
'Wouldn't other companies feel that this form of cooperation is too risky?'
Nindentou's expression kept changing. He really did not know if he should agree to this condition.
He took a glance at Su Yang. Su Yang did not have the same smile as when she was talking to the president of Nissan Automobile. There was a hint of coldness and arrogance on his young face instead. It was as if he did not want to cooperate with Nindentou's president.
Nindentou's president thought that maybe if he dared to refuse, Su Yang would immediately stop this conversation.
Right at that moment, the president of Nindentou caught sight of the Clown Sea Serpent behind Su Yang who was giving him a meaningful look.
Suddenly, he recalled what the Clown Sea Serpent told him before he came. Su Yang was a prideful person, and he did not like others rejecting him. If there was something, he would have to agree to it first. Then, when he left, he would wait for the Clown Sea Serpent to help him renegotiate.
'In that case, perhaps things could turn around?'
With that thought in mind, the president of Nindentou nodded with difficulty. Then, he said to Su Yang, "Su-kun, I agree to your condition. We can redesign the blueprint according to the parameters you give us. We can also produce 5 million parts of the console in advance to show our sincerity."
After saying that, he looked at the Clown Sea Serpent, who nodded slightly at him.
Su Yang, who was sitting opposite him, was smiling as well.
Because... Everything is settled.
