Also on December 1st, Japan, on the other side of the ocean, experienced another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan in November. The Nikkei 225 index still maintained an upward trend in the shock, and broke through the 40,000-point mark in the afternoon of this day.

As of the close in the afternoon local time, the Nikkei 225 index was finally fixed at 40039 points.

While all walks of life in Japan cheered the record-breaking moment, a rumor from Wall Street quickly began to spread.

It is said that, according to very reliable sources, Cersei Capital, which has been in the spotlight of the financial world in recent months, has actually quietly withdrawn from the Japanese market.

The portfolio of financial securities products related to the Japanese market held by Cersei Capital Sub-Funds 1 to 5 were all packaged and sold to a Japanese consortium by Simon Westeros. Therefore, many hedge funds that follow Cersei Capital's operations around the Japanese market during this period are not actually following Simon Westeros, but following the Japanese government!

In the past few months, at least tens of billions of dollars of funds in the entire financial market have followed Cersei Capital to chase the Japanese stock market. Everyone understands what this event will mean once the rumors are true.

The news was released after the Japanese stock market closed on Friday. Because of the time difference, it was still Friday morning on the North American side.

The Lehman Brothers team originally planned to let the rumors ferment the following weekend so that there would be enough panic effect before the market opened next Monday.

However, this news spread far faster than Lehman Brothers imagined. It only took one day, not just Wall Street. To be precise, all the people who should know and should not know.

The first thing that North American local media who heard the news thought of was to contact the relevant people of Cersei Capital, etc., and wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Immediately, many media discovered that Simon Westeros was not in North America, and even the president of Westeros, James Raybold, was far away in Europe, and Janet Johnston, another important figure in Cersei Capital, also failed to contact with. Attempts to contact the executives of Daenerys Entertainment on the west coast have still not received any useful responses.

Compared with the media, some investment bank executives and even high-level government officials tried to contact Simon Westeros, but also failed to contact Simon himself. James Leibold, who can be contacted, is also an unspoken cliché, which is undoubtedly a very obvious acquiescence.

So, while the news spread faster than the Lehman Brothers team expected, there was one thing they did not miss.

Panic starts to spread!

The goal of Cersei Capital is too obvious, there are too many insiders, and there are all kinds of connections that are difficult to hide. Simon did not think that this matter could be concealed forever from the beginning, and the Japanese obviously did not expect this, and the two sides reached an agreement. In fact, the most important clause in the Japanese stock market is that Simon no longer participates in the short-selling behavior of the Japanese stock market after the Japanese stock market turns.

Athens, Greece.

Because it was too cold in London at this time, Simon and Janet only lived there for three days, and the woman couldn't stand it. The two flew to Athens, the capital of Greece on the Mediterranean Sea.

When they received news from North America about the leak of Cersei Capital's sub-funds No. 1 to 5, Simon and Janet had just returned from the private island of Johnston's family in the Aegean Sea. They were wealthy people in the mountains north of Athens. He rested in the mansion in the district and planned to go to Finland next Monday.

Westeros' acquisition team has negotiated final contract details with Nokia, and the two sides will sign next Monday.

Because he had expected this day, Simon was not surprised.

When he originally planned to remain silent as planned, the surprise visit of Haruo Maekawa, the former president of the Bank of Japan, met in Melbourne at the end of June at noon on Sunday, Athens time, interrupted Simon's leisurely stay out of the matter.

Maekawa Haruo and his party of four, in addition to him, the "gift" Yoko Kosugi that Simon has always refused to accept still follows.

After a brief greeting from everyone, Simon took Maekawa and his party to the terrace in the backyard of the mansion.

This 6-acre mansion is also built on the hill. The specially built viewing terrace overlooks the entire city of Athens, but it is too far from the sea to see the sea level. However, since the surrounding area can become a wealthy area, the view is naturally excellent.

However, Haruo Maekawa was not interested in admiring the beautiful scenery. Simon, Janet, Haruo Maekawa, and Yoko Kosugi sat down at the round table. When the servants brought the coffee, Haruo Maekawa, who was obviously tired in his expression, cheered up and said with a smile: "Congratulations first, Simon, that "Ninja Turtles" game seems to be selling well during this time."

Simon took a sip of coffee, smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

"Before I came, I learned in advance that the royalty system that Yamauchi has adopted for Nintendo over the years is really too much. Since Daenerys Entertainment intends to enter the field of video games and has achieved such excellent results, I feel that Nintendo is in In addition to Capcom, Konami and other companies, it is also appropriate to give Blizzard Studio a special quota overseas."

Nintendo's royalty system, in simple terms, is to review the content of game manufacturers and extract royalties equivalent to the licensing fee from each game cartridge.

In addition, Nintendo has a monopoly on the production of game cartridges, which further compresses the profit margins of game manufacturers.

Because six game companies including Capcom and Konami were the first to become Nintendo's game content suppliers, after the rise of Nintendo, they granted a special policy to these six companies.

Capcom and other companies deliberately produce their own game cartridges, and the royalties they need to pay are far lower than those of ordinary game makers who cannot enjoy special offers.

Daenerys Entertainment's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" video game released last month costs $60 for cassettes. After counting the production cost and royalties of the cassettes, Nintendo will take $20, minus the profits from distributors, etc., Daenerys Entertainment only makes about 30% of the gross profit from each cassette.

In contrast, Capcom, Konami and other companies have a gross profit of 50% per box of game cartridges because of their preferential policies.

Nancy had previously estimated that the original game of "Ninja Turtles" could make a profit of $100 million for the company in the next year, and if Nintendo's special policy was obtained, this number could increase by at least 50%.

Maekawa Chunxiong offered such a generous bargaining chip with almost no foundation. Simon couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't doubt that Maekawa Chunxiong was making an empty promise. Although the president of Nintendo is strong, Japanese companies are basically under the control of various consortia, and Nintendo is no exception.

If the top management of the Japanese consortium puts pressure on him, Yamauchi can only obey no matter how strong he is.

Nintendo can maintain its heyday for at least another five years, and such a special quota may mean hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for Daenerys Entertainment.

However, Simon did not show much emotion on his face, nor did he immediately accept Haruo Maekawa's promise, but said: "Actually, I still very much approve of Nintendo's royalty system."

After hearing what Simon said, Maekawa Haruo realized that he was too eager, and followed the tone of the young man in front of him: "This surprises me, Simon. In recent years, people have been criticizing Yamauchi's decision. The two concessionaires therefore broke with Nintendo."

Simon said: "If there are no constraints, many business fields will rapidly prosper and then quickly decline, just like the Atari crash. Nintendo's system is a constraint on the market, which can make the field of video games move towards a This is a sustainable and healthy state of development. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Nintendo’s system, and if those manufacturers who have broken with Nintendo have the opportunity to become rule-makers, they will actually do the same.”

Haruo Maekawa nodded and asked with a smile, "Simon, what about you?"

"Of course it's the same for me," Simon said. "Actually, anyone has the ambition to become a rule maker, but most people don't have that kind of strength."

Haruo Maekawa suddenly asked, "Simon, do you want to beat Nintendo?"

Simon shook his head and said: "Daenerys Entertainment does not plan to set foot in the console field, we will only focus on the development of game content. However, both Atari and Nintendo have proved the huge profits in the console field, and this industry is destined to usher in Lots of new players. Also, Nintendo is notoriously sluggish with the new generation of consoles, Sega's 32-bit console has been out for nearly a year, and Nintendo's sfc is still dragging its feet. So, it's doomed to decline, This decline is only because of its own lack of progress, not because of the royalty system."

Simon said this, but he thought of Apple.

In the previous life, Apple's sales of app software was actually imitating Nintendo's royalty system. On the other hand, compared to Nintendo's lack of progress, Apple has always been able to go beyond the Android field, which is also destined to be difficult for the Android camp to compete with Apple.

"I'll tell Yamauchi what you said," Maekawa Haruo took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and began to talk about the topic: "Simon, I'm here this time because I hope you can make some public statements."

Simon nodded and waited for Haruo Maekawa to continue.

Maekawa Chunxiong said: "We have already found out, the news came from Lehman Brothers, a subsidiary of American Express. In the past two days, the situation in North America and Asia has been very bad. We hope you can publicly express your optimism on Japan in some media. Economic rhetoric."

Simon said, "What about Cersei Capital's Sub-Funds 1 to 5?"

"This is also a key point. We hope you will tell the media that you have already transferred the investment portfolio of Cersei Capital No. 1 to No. 5 sub-funds in June, but the Japanese stock market has not declined in the following six months, which is enough to show that the Japanese economy is more than a lot. People predict more dynamism."

Simon did not care that Haruo Maekawa unknowingly brought forward the time for the transfer of Cersei Capital No. 1 to 5 sub-funds to June. Strictly speaking, this is also true. The two parties did confirm the transaction at the end of June: "Actually, Maekawa, you should understand that my current statement is of little significance. Since Lehman Brothers has released the news, they must have established a large number of short positions, and perhaps many financial institutions have also done so in advance."

"But there are also more long-term capitals that have not left the market," Maekawa Haruo continued: "Simon, as long as you make a statement, those funds that are still in a long state will definitely exert their strength. We will also try our best to maintain the stability of the market."

Simon said: "Maekawa, you should know that there is indeed a serious bubble in the Japanese economy, and the Japanese stock market's turn is inevitable."

"I understand, Simon, we're just hoping for a gentler turn now, to give us more time to moderate."

Simon rubbed the coffee cup still in his hand and weighed it.

The Japanese stock market has broken through 40,000 points, obviously it has peaked, it is impossible to go up, and the decline is inevitable.

In my memory, the Japanese stock market fell from a high of more than 38,000 points to 28,000 points, which took a full four months. This is indeed quite moderate, and it also shows that the Japanese government's rescue measures at that time were very effective.

Now, if he does nothing to

The panic that has accumulated in the market in the past two days, even if the Japanese stock market has a rise and fall limit, there will be no Black Monday like North America in 1987, but next week is likely to be a crash-like continuous decline after the opening bell.

Once this happens, some hedge funds that were misguided by Cersei Capital in the early stage are likely to suffer heavy losses, and Simon will inevitably be blamed at that time.

On the contrary, if Simon now shows some tendency to be optimistic about the Japanese market, delaying the decline of the Japanese stock market and giving those hedge funds time to flee, this is actually saving him from the possible targeting. Now that the Japanese stock market has been determined to go down, he did this just to let those shorts make money later, and there is nothing wrong with it.

With such a decision, Simon raised his head again and looked at Qianchuan Chunxiong: "So, what should I do?"

Haruo Maekawa beckoned to the two assistants who were waiting not far away, took out a document from the handbag they brought and handed it over, saying: "We have prepared some documents, you can take a look first. In addition, we I have also spoken to various media in Japan and North America. As long as the manuscript is confirmed, it can be on the headlines of many newspapers and magazines early in the morning. Also, if you are willing to accept TV interviews, it will be even better.”

Simon picked up the documents and looked at them, shook his head and said, "Forget the interview, I don't like to appear on TV very much."

"Then, as long as you can express your position in the newspaper," Haruo Maekawa did not reluctantly, but also took the initiative: "In addition, all the press releases we have completed will be handed over to you in advance to ensure that there will be no surprises between us. differences outside."

Simon nodded.

Very satisfied with this arrangement by the Japanese.

He didn't want some opinions in the newspapers that he was completely unaware of.

At the same time, he also understood in his heart that the Japanese were so cautious not because they respected him, but more because they were worried that he would suddenly regret it.
