Chapter 1371 - 1365: Terms
This time, not only are those panicked Japanese companies worried, but even the Japanese government is nervous. The Finance Ministry's minister personally stated that they will form an expert group to study ways to deal with this currency crisis, and they will also use their foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the exchange rate.
But it's too late, the financial predators who have already smelled blood have launched an assault on Japanese currency.
Moreover, these seasoned speculators won't focus their actions on just one area; the actions of the Japanese government were already within their expectations.
Besides directly pouring funds to deal with the Japanese currency, they also began round after round of speculation on bulk goods such as grain, oil, and iron ore in the international futures market, which immediately struck Japan's lifeline!
Japan is an island country, and its biggest weakness is its lack of sufficient resources to support its economy and meet people's needs!
It's easier to talk about grain, since Japan's domestic grain production is not low, and there's also a large supplement of seafood. But that is still far from enough.
You have to understand, today's people can't solve their food needs just by drinking thin porridge and eating fish. Now everyone emphasizes the diversity of food.
No vegetables, no other meats, try drinking porridge for a week?
And even if you can endure it, food prices must skyrocket, which will greatly affect the daily lives of Japanese people.
The prices of mineral oil and other resources are even worse, their price hikes have a massive impact on Japan, severely weakening the Japanese government's ability to intervene in the exchange rate!
So after stabilizing for three days, Japanese currency fell again, dropping more than five percent on the same day!
Lin Chuan has been quite relaxed these days.
Without much thought, he just followed the international speculators and went all-in short selling, earning over hundreds of million US Dollars in profits in just a few days!
Even considering Lin Chuan's investment skills, this is a considerable profit – can you believe it happened in just a few days!
And now it seems that the Japanese government has temporarily failed to address the exchange market, meaning their profits haven't reached the end yet!
Qingzi and Shuiyuan certainly wouldn't completely disregard their own country. However, they know this is essentially a normal fluctuation in the economic rate, which wouldn't actually trigger an economic crisis.
From the company's perspective, Lin Chuan's actions are definitely justifiable.
Lin Chuan is also relaxed, not only has he made a fortune in the currency market. He's accompanied by two beautiful women, even though he doesn't have real intentions toward them, they are pleasing to the eye!
A couple of days ago he had another phone call with the domestic market. Sea Domain Company has completely withdrawn from the Chinese market, and together with Nomura Xin suffered huge losses in their attempt to attack the company's stocks.
Moreover, the technology Nomura Xin initially transferred to them wasn't entirely genuine, after a period of digestion and verification, they found that up to seventy percent of the technology was misleading!
This directly led to the failure to implement their subsequent plans at all. The loss was not only in terms of time and the funds invested previously, but it also completely disrupted their investment plans and fundamentally shook investor confidence!
What's more unfortunate now is the situation at Sea Domain Company, they can't even think of seeking compensation from Nomura Xin!
Thus, although it cannot yet be said that they have completely retreated from the market, they can no longer exert any pressure or cause any damage to the Sichuan University Group.
In other words, the overall crisis for the Sichuan University Group has been completely resolved. Lin Chuan, although having long anticipated this result, still breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At Sea Domain Company, President Nomura's old face turned extremely gloomy, this time he's really aboard a pirate ship, how could he have easily trusted these two bastards Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing.
Speaking of why Nomura Xin trusted Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing, the fact is, they have some history.
Back then, Qin Tianlei also was one of the successful businessmen, having lots of business dealings with Sea Domain Company, if it weren't for Lin Chuan, Qin Tianlei wouldn't have been forced overseas.
Gu Qing is full of tricks, he knows Lin Chuan will never spare him, the only way to safeguard his life is to kill Lin Chuan. After joining Qin Tianlei, the two hit it off and immediately took out several main members of Jvyi Gang.
But they didn't expect taking out a few members of Jvyi Gang had seemingly no impact on the whole Jvyi Gang, nor the Sichuan University Group, which made both of them utterly furious.
After discussing for half a day, Gu Qing came up with an idea, allowing Qin Tianlei to contact two institutions to directly defeat Sichuan University Group, forcefully acquiring the entire Sichuan University Group, thereby ending Lin Chuan's fundamental Ji Ye.
So Qin Tianlei reached out to Nomura Xin, and invested all his possessions. Nomura Xin also saw the benefits, tempted, agreed to work with Qin Tianlei.
Unexpectedly, greedy for gain but losing it all, Sea Domain Company is almost finished now, Nomura Xin hardly bears to see the Ji Ye he's worked hard to build destroyed overnight.
Just as Nomura Xin was regretting, the secretary entered and said softly, "President, Lin Chuan, the chairman of Sichuan University Group, wants to see you."
Nomura Xin was stunned, then said with a gloomy face, "Why is he here? Is he trying to laugh at me? I won't see him."
"I'm not here to laugh at you; I'm here to save you." Just as Nomura Xin finished speaking, a cold voice came from the doorway. It was Lin Chuan, with Qingzi following him.
Nomura Xin looked up at Lin Chuan. At this moment, he suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure from this young man, as if there was a strong aura about him.
Nomura Xin stared at Lin Chuan with disbelief in his eyes and said, "What did you say?"
Lin Chuan said slowly, "As long as you agree to one condition, I'll help you minimize your losses."
Nomura Xin asked, "What condition?"
Lin Chuan smirked coldly and said, "Hand over Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing."
Strictly speaking, finding Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing was a piece of cake for Lin Chuan now, but he didn't want to do it that way. He wanted to catch them off guard.
Nomura Xin was a thorough businessman, and the essence of a businessman is to prioritize one's interests. After hearing Lin Chuan's words, he remained silent for a long time before saying to Lin Chuan, "Fine, I'll arrange for them to come out. You pick the location."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face as he said, "Tomorrow morning at ten, in your office."
At this point, what else could Nomura Xin say but agree to Lin Chuan's proposal?
After dealing with these matters, Lin Chuan and Qingzi left the Sea Domain Company. Lin Chuan planned to visit the fishery as he had been in Japan for several days but had only seen Zhou Kai and Silver Fox briefly at the airport.
It would be somewhat inappropriate for Qingzi to accompany him, so Lin Chuan sent her home first, arranging to meet at the Sea Domain Company's entrance at ten the next morning.
Back at the fishery, Zhou Kai and the others gave Lin Chuan a warm welcome. The long-awaited reunion sparked passion when he was alone with Silver Fox.
Lin Chuan didn't tell Silver Fox or Zhou Kai about his plans against Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing. The purpose was simple: he didn't want these people to face any more risk.
The next morning, Lin Chuan saw Silver Fox still asleep and quietly left for the Sea Domain Company.
By the time he reached the Sea Domain Company, it was precisely 9:40 AM, and Qingzi was already waiting for him.
The two weren't in a hurry to go up. Instead, they grabbed a bite to eat at a nearby spot. It wasn't until 10:05 AM that they leisurely walked into the Sea Domain Company.
At that moment, Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing were already in Nomura Xin's office, unaware that Lin Chuan was now in Japan. If they knew, they'd likely have fled in fear.
"President Nomura, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Who knew the other side would have strong countermeasures?" Qin Tianlei said while looking at Nomura Xin's furious expression.
Nomura Xin snorted coldly and said, "Are you happy now? My Sea Domain Company is ruined. I'm telling you, if you don't find a way to save it, I'll take you down with me if I go under."
Qin Tianlei replied with a bitter smile, "President Nomura, keep in mind that I've invested everything I have; now you're holding me to account, but who do I hold accountable?"
Nomura Xin's face grew darker, but before he could reply, Gu Qing's ambiguous voice rang out: "President Nomura, don't threaten us. We've done our best. As for what's next, handle it yourself."
This statement clearly conveyed to Nomura Xin that the remaining issues were no longer their concern.
"You two are truly a pair of shameless bastards. No wonder Lin Chuan wants you dead." Nomura Xin was now convinced he saw the true faces of the two before him, and the fire inside him was about to explode.
At the mention of Lin Chuan's name, a flicker of fear crossed the faces of Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing. Gu Qing's eyes showed a gloomy look as he asked, "President Nomura, what do you mean by that? Could it be you've seen Lin Chuan?"
Nomura Xin sneered coldly and said, "Of course I've seen him; he's probably at my office door right now."
As soon as these words were uttered, the office door swung open, followed by Lin Chuan's voice, "Qin Tianlei, Gu Qing, it's been a long time since we last met. You're living quite comfortably, aren't you?"
Hearing Lin Chuan's voice, followed by seeing Lin Chuan at the door, Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing abruptly stood up, trembling involuntarily.
They never expected Lin Chuan to suddenly appear there; the shadow Lin Chuan cast over their minds turned into sheer terror at his sight.
"Lin Chuan, I never thought I'd see you here," Qin Tianlei said awkwardly, forcing a grin as he struggled to suppress his growing fear.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan managed to hold back his own anger, chuckling as he said, "I've missed you two dearly. So, are you not inviting me in for a seat?"
