Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

After the signing of the Plaza Agreement, the first money Bai Chuanfeng wanted to earn came from foreign exchange transactions.

At the same time, this is also the biggest deal that Bai Chuanfeng has played in the financial market so far.

Opportunities are rare, and it's really a pity for him to be a successor if he doesn't reap the harvest at this historic moment.

The so-called foreign exchange trading is also called foreign exchange margin trading.

It refers to signing a contract with an investment bank, opening a trust investment account, and depositing a sum of money (margin) as a guarantee.

Then the credit operation limit is set by the bank or brokerage investment bank, and a large amount of foreign exchange transaction is carried out with a very small margin, that is, the leverage effect.

In this way, investors can freely buy and sell spot foreign exchange of the same value within the quota, and the profit and loss caused by the operation will be automatically deducted or deposited from the above-mentioned investment account.

This is the general process of foreign exchange speculation. To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of speculation.

In the past few years, the London market has developed a leveraged game.

In the next few years, this method of using very little capital to leverage large transactions quickly became popular in the global market.

Up to now, leverage operations are generally carried out in the foreign exchange market, and the minimum leverage ratio is more than 20 times to 50 times, and it is very common to exceed 100 times.

If the margin financing ratio is 100 times, the minimum margin requirement is 1%.

Then investors can trade up to $100,000 with as little as $1,000, which makes full use of the leverage effect of using small to fight big.

In addition to capital amplification, another most attractive feature of foreign exchange margin investment is that it can be operated in both directions.

Investors can buy a currency to make a profit (be long) when the currency rises, or sell it for a profit (be short) when the currency falls.

Such repeated horizontal jumps can free funds from the restriction that they cannot make money in the so-called bear market, thus providing greater profit space and opportunities.

Speaking of which, how is leveraged trading profitable? For example.

For example, if the yen appreciates against the U.S. dollar now, and I increase the leverage by 100 times, then I can finally invest a margin of 100,000 U.S. dollars (100×1%) to buy Japanese yen with a contract value of 10 million U.S. dollars.

When the exchange rate of the yen against the U.S. dollar rises by 1%, the investor can make a profit of 100,000 U.S. dollars, and the actual rate of return reaches 100%, that is, the principal doubles.

But if the yen falls by 1%, then investors will lose all their money, and all their invested capital will be lost.

So it is not to say that if you add 100 times leverage, the final profit will be 100 times the principal, which is too against the sky.

However, with a leverage of 100, every 1% increase will result in 100% return, which is already very much.

Looking at the return rate of the manufacturing industry, the profit rate of high-tech and high value-added products can reach 30% to 40%, which is already very good.

The profit range of Shirakawa Electric is roughly within this range. If it is raw materials or textiles, etc., the profit margin can reach 10% to 15%, which means that the economy is booming.

Therefore, playing finance is indeed quick to make money, and the return cycle is very short, and some can even achieve this goal overnight.

Of course, the foreign exchange market comes in quickly and loses money quickly.

100 times leverage, when the market falls. It is not necessary for you to lose all your principal, as long as the loss exceeds a certain amount, the dealer has the right to stop the loss mechanism.

After all, you are using 100,000 US dollars to leverage my 10 million US dollars. It is reasonable to set the bottom line and stop losses in time.

In the middle of the night on September 22, Shirakawa Kaede, Arai Yu, Oda and the others, as well as the traders of Hokuto Bank, all gathered at the current headquarters of Hokuto Bank in the Chuo District.

"The spot contracts with major banks are drawn up in advance, as long as the official enters the market, we will follow!"

Bai Chuanfeng didn't know when the central banks of the five countries started to act on the 23rd, so he could only keep an eye on the market, and as long as the US dollar fell significantly, Bai Chuan Holdings would follow suit.

After all, it is 8 billion U.S. dollars in funds, so it is impossible to be cautious.

At this time, not only Bai Chuanfeng's palms were sweating, but everyone else here was nervous.

This movement of fingers is hundreds of millions of dollars in circulation, so can you not be nervous?

After wandering around the room for a few times, Bai Chuanfeng stopped and looked at Yu Arai with his hips akimbo.

"Arai-san, how much do you think the yen will appreciate in the end?"

"Hey..." Arai Yu, who was at war between heaven and man, did not expect Bai Chuanfeng to chat with him about this topic suddenly.

"Probably around 10%." After a little thought, he gave his answer.

Yen appreciation, everyone basically reached a consensus.

But because the "Plaza Accord" did not specify specific figures, everyone does not know how much the five countries intend to let the yen rise or how much the dollar will depreciate.

However, the exchange rate issue is related to the country after all, so Yu Arai and others in the financial field privately speculate that the yen will eventually appreciate by about 10%.

This is already a lot, and it is obvious that both imports and exports will be affected by this increase.

With Neon's foreign trade volume, a 10% appreciation of the yen is likely to cause losses of tens of billions of dollars in the end.

Yu Arai did not believe that the government would not take this into consideration, so his estimate was relatively conservative.

Bai Chuanfeng was noncommittal about his answer, "So Arai-san thinks, how long will it take for the yen to appreciate by 10%?"

"According to the previously announced agreement, it should be within a year.

But considering that central banks will sell dollars, then this time is likely to be shortened to one month. "

Arai Yu also knew what was going to happen to the central banks of various countries, and this was even deliberately disclosed to the large domestic banks by the Neon government.

The purpose is to unite the front, our central bank is ready to end, why don't you follow?

Don't talk about getting rich when the time comes, I didn't bring you with me.

Needless to say, the major chaebol banks that received the news have already secretly prepared.

It is precisely because of this that Arai Yucai predicted that the yen will appreciate by 10% in the fastest month.

A gleam flashed in Bai Chuanfeng's eyes, "Arai-san, if I tell you that the yen will appreciate by 10% within a week, and reach 15% within two weeks, what will happen?"

"Impossible!" Yu Arai stood up in shock, "If the exchange rate appreciates or depreciates too quickly, it will cause the market to follow suit blindly.

Once the market loses its mind, it will definitely have a catastrophic impact on the country whose exchange rate is copied.

At that time, don’t talk about European and American governments, and Neon will also”

Suddenly Arai Yu was stuck in place, and if the yen appreciated too fast, wouldn't it be the neon that would be hit the hardest?

He turned his head to look at Bai Chuanfeng, the latter's eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning, and at the same time, he was calm and terrifying.

Bai Chuanfeng didn't explain whether the news was true or not, as if it was just a hypothesis.

But for some reason, Yu Arai was suddenly very sure at this moment that the appreciation of the yen to 10% must be much faster than expected.

"We increase the leverage by 100 times and enter the market in batches. If everything goes well, we can withdraw part of the funds within a week and withdraw all funds within two weeks."

Bai Chuanfeng doesn't care about the specific trading. But in the general direction, a bottom line must be set.

"Understood" Hearing this order, Arai Yuyue was more certain that the appreciation of the yen would be seen within two weeks.

The next time is a long wait. However, until two or three o'clock in the morning, the dollar in the foreign exchange market remained high, showing no downward trend.

It's not a matter of waiting, who knows when the five countries are going to end, if it is the afternoon or night of the 23rd.

In the quiet trading room, Bai Chuanfeng stood up and stretched.

"Arai-san, I don't know what K-line or positions are. But please understand that the yen will only rise in the next two weeks, not fall!"

Bai Chuanfeng couldn't give him more specific information. But these are enough. In a market that will only fall for two weeks, you can make money with your eyes closed.

This is equivalent to setting the prerequisites, and the yen will not depreciate, or even fluctuate.

If you know this information, it is already a cheat for financial practitioners.

The reason why Bai Chuanfeng emphasized this point with him was to let him maintain his mentality and buy yen liters with confidence.

Hearing his swearing assurance, although Arai Yu hesitated in his heart, he still nodded to show that he understood.

Perhaps Bai Chuan-sang got some news, otherwise how could he be so sure.

But since there is inside information, why not increase the leverage a bit.

The current foreign exchange international market is not like the Huaxia of the later generations, which has a limit of 400 times, let alone 100 times, even thousands of times is fine.

As for why he didn't add it, it was because Bai Chuanfeng was also afraid that for some inexplicable reasons, if history took a slight turn, he would be at a loss.

The greater the leverage ratio, the higher the risk of liquidation.

So even if you know what's going to happen, don't be too careless.

Moreover, entering the foreign exchange market with a large amount of transactions can easily attract the attention of all parties.

Still the same sentence, make a fortune with a muffled voice.

After explaining here, Bai Chuanfeng also got up and left the headquarters of Beidu Bank.

Leave the rest to them, he is going to catch up on sleep first.

He didn't plan to go back to the house in Sumida Valley, and would wake the child up in the middle of the night.

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to go to Xiao Huya.

Only she can be a little bit cleaner, and she can let herself be tossed about.

Back in the port area, without disturbing the sleeping little Huya, Bai Chuanfeng got into bed by himself and started to catch up on sleep.

In a daze, he dreamed that he was standing on a mountain, overlooking the world and looking down on all living beings.

This mountain is a mountain made of accumulated dollars.

The eyes of the people below are adored, and countless beauties surround them.

They hugged themselves, offered passionate kisses, and hugged tighter and tighter until they couldn't breathe~

"Huh~" Bai Chuanfeng, feeling chest tight and unbearable, opened his eyes in a daze.

I saw that the little tiger tooth was just like an octopus, tightly wrapped around him, and his whole body was lying on his chest.

With a wry smile, Bai Chuanfeng had no choice but to push her away slowly.

It's a pity that my dream has not been finished yet, and it died early without a problem.

"Dinglingling~" The clear ringtone of the phone was extremely harsh in the quiet bedroom.

Bai Chuanfeng, who had already woken up, straightened up and picked up the phone.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Bai Chuan-san has found you. We and Nomura Securities are ready to enter the market. Will Beidu Bank follow?"

"Of course!" Bai Chuanfeng, who was half asleep and half awake, felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Good! After five minutes, the yen rises! The dollar falls!"

"Martial luck is prosperous!" Bai Chuanfeng waved his fist fiercely without any nonsense.

"Wu luck is prosperous!"

Pat, hung up the phone, Bai Chuanfeng glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside, 7:55~!

Without hesitation, he quickly dialed another number.

"Arai-san, eight o'clock! The yen is rising! The dollar is falling!"

"clear!"

The horn of attack has sounded, and the golden age is coming!

The dawn of dawn outside the window broke through the dark gray-blue sky in the east, and the golden morning light was dazzling and charming.
