After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

"Hahaha..."

"I wonder what his expression is like now?"

"Kamon, you have a good relationship with him, why not call and ask?"

"Hahaha... You're too much of a troublemaker, but that's a good suggestion."

Once upon a time, there were United Nations troops in the North Korean battlefield; now, there are joint organizations, coming together to intercept Lu Liang's yen shorting profits.

Blackstone, Morgan, BlackRock, Vanguard, and other well-known Wall Street institutions or fund companies, if it were a general profit project, they would never come together, but shorting the yen is clearly worthwhile.

Furthermore, cyclically harvesting Neon National wealth is their major event every few years; how could they let Lu Liang take a bite?

"Forget it, he's too petty, calling now to mock might make him harbor resentment." Wilson shook his head, decisively refusing.

Since mid-October, Morgan's Q3 financial report was announced, stock price dropped 24.5%, market capitalization evaporated by over 100 billion dollars, yet still remains in the shadow.

Subsequent reliance on hyping General Tianxing, investing in Cheung Shing's port business, could completely dismiss the huge losses of the last quarter.

Although they are joined now, intercepting Lu Liang's yen shorting profits, this behavior is legitimate and can be accepted.

What's done is done, if calling to mock, the nature changes, inevitably affecting future cooperation between both parties.

Someone sullen, mocked: "Kamon, do you know what you resemble now? A cautious sewer rat."

Wilson narrowed his eyes, took out his phone, tossed it on the table, still smiling: "Allen, you make the call, best to introduce yourself as Vanguard's investment manager."

Allen looked at the phone sliding in front of him, his smile suddenly stiffened.

Talking is fine, but really sending him to mock Lu Liang requires careful thought, what could be gained by risking offending Lu Liang?

If it's just praises for courage, there's no need, refer to Cameron Wilson for specifics.

Once the most spirited investment banking manager in the United States, facilitated Tesla becoming the third-generation American technology landmark, smoothly becoming JPMorgan Chase's investment manager.

He is still young, only forty-three this year, originally the best hope to become Jamie Dimon's successor, becoming Morgan's helmsman.

Due to constant entanglements with Lu Liang, always suffering a loss in confrontations, ultimately discontent led to big mistakes, nearly dragging JPMorgan Chase into the abyss.

Lu Liang's character, a bit enchanting, there's no need to risk offending him over a verbal spat.

"Friends, do you realize, this isn't something to be cheerful about."

Suddenly silent, Su Shimin spoke, pushed the phone back to Wilson, indicating to skip this topic.

He controlled the screen behind, switched from forex to stock market, said deeply: "Look at the current Japanese stock market, the three major indices are all falling, even the most resistant Nikkei 225 Index is down 7.12%, about to trigger the circuit breaker mechanism."

"Who caused such a huge impact, who is leading all this, you should know, is this really a good thing?"

Recall three years ago, Lu Liang could only pick leftovers behind them.

Two years ago, after a year's development, Lu Liang already has the qualification to sit at the table.

One year later, Lu Liang possesses the ability to contend with them.

Now, they even rejoice over intercepting part of Lu Liang's yen shorting profits.

This shows that they inwardly acknowledge Lu Liang's strength, and recognize he has the qualification to set his own table.

Neon is their own reserved land, also their cyclical harvest stage, now occupied by Lu Liang.

"Isn't this a sad thing?"

Su Shimin looks grim, stated sharply: "Friends, you all should know, the greed of capital is never satisfied, I think we should do something!"

He suddenly glanced at Wilson, and everyone followed his gaze.

In an instant, Wilson became the focus, with a blank face, packed up his paperwork: "Everyone, I have things to attend, I'll take my leave."

He was excluded, since causing JPMorgan Chase's enormous losses, he automatically left Wall Street's core circle.

Because everyone knows, his priority is leading JPMorgan Chase out of the current predicament, and Lu Liang happens to have this ability.

Some secret, significant matters will skip him directly, to prevent him from leaking information to enemy forces for self-preservation.

Wilson left the meeting room, with the door closing behind, a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "Lieutenant General Lu?"

He quickly returned to his office, took out a notebook from the safe, recorded known information.

A page dedicated to recording this, precisely because he wasn't informed, he became want to know.

Su Shimin is plotting an earth-shattering conspiracy, with a key figure revealed today, Wilson also had faint suspicions.

"Formerly served as Lieutenant General, now Congressman Pat Robertson, also main person in charge at Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory..."

Meanwhile, the Nikkei 225 Index, which opened with a drop of -2.52%, continued to decline throughout the day.

At 2 p.m., it completely gave up resistance, triggering an 8% circuit breaker and halting trading for ten minutes temporarily.

Because of the circuit breaker of the Nikkei 225 Index, all the stock markets in East Asia were in the negative, making people feel as if they were in a wilderness.

The only touch of red amid the green was still the Hang Seng Index, but this doesn't mean the Hang Seng Index was strong; it just means that a decline is red for Hang Seng.

"Damn, Liangzi is too ruthless, directly causing Japanese stocks to trigger a circuit breaker."

"Back in the day, Soros was nothing. Looking at prominent figures, focus on the present."

"You brain-dead folks, stop brown-nosing for f***'s sake. Haven't you noticed the A-shares have also dropped like a dog?"

"If it falls, let it fall. A dropping market doesn't mean individual stocks will fall too. Conscientious Food rose against the trend becoming a monster."

"This trash market is getting harder to understand. Go ahead and force your way in if you want."

"Dezi hit the daily limit and its market value broke 400 billion. You can't just say it was from riding the wave, right?"

"Stop being disrespectful. From now on, call it King Ning. Believe in Liangzi's past prediction of a trillion-dollar market value."

Compared to domestic delight, where investors were still interested in making jokes, the investors in Neon felt like the sky had fallen.

They used to laugh at their neighbor who proclaimed themselves as the world's second-largest economy, yet even their stock market performed worse than India's.

Especially on New Year's Day two years ago, with two circuit breakers in four days and a phenomenon where thousands of stocks hit limit down twice, which is still a joke in the international financial circle.

Now that this situation had come upon them, they couldn't find it funny at all, since this was the first time that Japanese stocks had ever triggered the circuit breaker mechanism since their inception.

"Damn Lu Liang!"

"Orochi God, please show yourself and take him!"

"Where are the cabinet ministers? Why is no one standing out to make a statement?"

"Where is the Central Bank? Is our market really so fragile, even worse than the A-shares?"

"Does anyone know Lu Liang's whereabouts? I used to serve in the maritime self-defense force, and I can hand-craft cannons."

As the Neon people fell into despair and began denouncing the instigators, including, but not limited to, personal threats, Fuji TV quickly launched a new program named "Financial Observation Room."

They invited several financial professors and industry authorities to provide ongoing reports on this financial crisis.

The professors, looking serious, communicated with Neon's billion citizens through television, radio, newspapers, and online media.

"The stock market circuit breaker is only temporary, moreover, the Nikkei 225 Index has been rising for quite some time and needs a correction."

"What we should be wary of is the foreign exchange, led by BlackRock and the Blackstone Group; Wall Street forces are targeting the yen."

"Within half a day, the yen fell by -8.52%!"

"Imagine, yesterday we could exchange 1 US Dollar for 112.52 yen, now we need 121.54 yen, for the same dollar, paying 9.02 more yen."

"Suppose importing a piece of equipment worth 100 million dollars, you'd have to pay an additional 902 million yen—100 billion dollars is 9.02 billion yen."

"At this very moment, at this very second, our collective wealth has evaporated by 426 billion US dollars..."

The professors, possessing multiple nationalities, deliberately downplayed the impact of the stock market.

From various aspects of life including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, they discussed the downsides of the yen's fall and subtly expressed several times that it's a cyclical harvesting by American capital.

It began in the last century and has continued to this date.

Lastly, they appropriately reminded that Lu Liang's original intention was just to acquire PayPal Group and had already reached a cooperation with Ant Group.

It was the Mitsui Sumitomo Group that disagreed, so he had no choice but to take this course of action.

As the program aired and with the employment of a large number of internet trolls to guide public opinion,

the wave of denunciation against Lu Liang successfully diffused.

Some directed their anger towards American capital, others towards Mitsui Sumitomo, and some towards the incumbent Prime Minister, An San.

Meanwhile, far away in Xiangjiang, Lu Liang was informed.

He laughed and said to Xu Jiawei, "These professors are quite capable. Ishikawa should maintain long-term cooperation with them."

Shorting the yen and Japanese stocks was an undeniable fact, but the professors invited by the program were quite skilled and knew how to divert internal conflicts.

For instance, American capital cyclically harvesting Neon, conglomerates continually harvesting the public, and the incumbent Prime Minister An San's inaction, these are also undeniable facts.
