Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha! - Chapter 78
c78 When the sickle falls, no leek grows in vain.
Futures Trading Hall
“Heh, a bunch of leeks!”
Kakuzu stood on the third floor with high spirits, overlooking the retail investors who were still in the first floor hall. After more than a month of buying and selling, Kakuzu’s capital has successfully entered the big room!
“Lord Kakuzu, fruit plates and desserts are here.”
The servants brought plates of beautifully presented food in front of Kakuzu. This set meal is not cheap, and it costs 8888 taels to eat one meal.
The taste is naturally excellent, but it is obviously not the taste that is sold at this price, but a sense of ritual of status.
To put it bluntly, it is a trap for big investors.
In the past, Kakuzu would never order this set meal.
But now is different from the past. It is too easy to make money. Kakuzu’s current capital volume is a business of millions of dollars every minute.
In the past, he went through wind and rain, and did bounty tasks all year round without a day off for 365 days. The money he earned was not as much as he made in this month.
Money is so easy to make. Life was so hard in the past. What’s wrong with enjoying it now!
Kakuzu waved his hand to let the attendant go out, took the toothpick on the plate, picked up a piece and tasted it carefully. It tasted really sweet.
While eating, Kakuzu skillfully opened his account. There was a series of zeros behind the income amount, which made Kakuzu’s dark green eyes almost tear.
Virtual transactions are separated from paper money. Tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, and even millions of taels are involved in buying and selling. The rise of the bull market continues to magnify Kakuzu’s greed.
Originally, Kakuzu only planned to invest a little money in it. After seeing the speed of making money from financial magic, Kakuzu’s past principles were immediately abandoned. The amount of funds continued to increase, and now more than 300 million taels have been thrown in!
The rewards are naturally rich. The total value of futures has tripled, and the price of pig iron has reached the high point of the past price, which has increased by a full eight times.
But the price of pig iron is already at a high level. Once there is a slight disturbance, the price will plummet.
In the past, the price of pig iron was still controlled by nobles and merchants. When the price fell to a certain level, they would take the initiative to support the bottom and raise the price. This time, the situation was extremely complicated, and too many retail investors entered the market.
Street vendors, landlords, wandering samurai, rebel ninjas, bounty hunters, and all kinds of people got involved in this transaction. Some of these people didn’t even understand the concept of futures, but bought directly.
Once the price fell, the fear of a crash would instantly sweep the entire futures market, and the price would fall so much that even their parents wouldn’t recognize them.
It went sideways.
This time, the price went sideways for a full day and a half.
Kakuzu watched the price go up and down, and the sweetness in his mouth was a little less, and he felt a little uneasy. It had been sideways for so long, and this situation had never happened before.
In the past, when the price went sideways, it would often continue to rise after an afternoon. This time it was obviously different.
Kakuzu’s eyes drifted to another big room, the room where White Fang was. White Fang was still reading a book there without any hurry, and he didn’t care about the sideways situation in front of him, as if everything was under control.
Seeing White Fang’s calmness, Kakuzu’s heart calmed down again. Now White Fang’s halo was covered layer by layer.
“The God of Futures!”
“The white man who plays with the market”
“The man blessed by money.”
After so many days of showing his divine power in front of people, White Fang’s identity has been deified in front of this group of leeks. It was White Fang who predicted the rise and fall again and again, saving them from the water and fire.
Whenever the market fluctuates, White Fang will always stand up to calm people’s hearts and predict the rise. Every time White Fang said it, it was exactly right!
Even the nobles and businessmen looked at the young man White Fang differently. Every time he talked about the theory, they were amazed. After careful tasting, there was really some truth.
The smart people among the insects were skeptical about White Fang’s theory. They didn’t take it seriously after listening to it, but there was one thing they were sure of, White Fang had inside information!
So every time he could make an operation before the rise and fall!
Kakuzu admired White Fang so much that the secret book that White Fang gave him was almost torn apart by him.
According to the instructions in the secret book, although Kakuzu predicted some ups and downs correctly, it was not always accurate. It was Kakuzu’s dream to integrate the contents of the secret book to the level of White Fang.
Kakuzu had approached White Fang more than once, hoping that White Fang would give him some advice.
However, the results were not satisfactory every time. White Fang knew nothing about futures. Every speech was memorized, and the contents of the book were written by the Hokage. How could he explain it clearly?
More importantly, the Hokage once solemnly warned White Fang that futures were used by insiders and traders to cut leeks. Don’t operate casually, and be sure to act according to instructions.
In the face of Kakuzu’s humble request for advice, White Fang always asked Kakuzu to read more books and practice more.
White Fang was also very anxious about the current pig iron price. This price made White Fang tremble with fear. In more than a month, the price soared eight times.
The last time the price of pig iron reached this high, it was when the five major ninja villages were fighting each other. At the most brutal time of the fighting, the price of pig iron reached this high.
And now, this war has just begun, and the price has risen to the current price. White Fang wanted to sell all the futures in his hands on the day of the sideways trend.
That’s a full 80 million taels, which can save White Fang more than ten years of hard work!
After a day of waiting with such a throbbing heart, White Fang finally received the information from Nara Shikato.
The final harvest is about to begin
The sickle that has been laid for so long is finally coming down. The simple words in the information made White Fang sweat coldly on his back. Although he had expected this day in his heart, when this day really came, White Fang still felt dizzy.
With such a large price increase and such a huge amount of funds, everyone in the Land of Fire who has some savings has thrown money in.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to live, struggling on the edge of starvation every day. The main force is the middle class, wandering samurai, rebel ninja, and the most difficult nobles and big businessmen.
When the bubble bursts, the middle class will perform a good show of flying people, and wandering samurai and rebel ninja will probably chase and kill themselves madly.
The nobles and big merchants will put up a high reward for White Fang in the gold exchange.
In this drama of harvesting leeks, White Fang plays the role of pushing them into the abyss, and is the drummer who cheers for the manipulators behind the scenes.
This money is not ordinary hot, but no matter how hot it is, White Fang has no way to turn back.
Now is the time, White Fang has memorized the manuscript this time, and it is time to send this group of leeks under the sickle.
White Fang took a deep breath, sat up from the chair, and slowly walked to the side of the stairs. White Fang, who has become a futures star, has attracted much attention for his every move.
“It’s Master White Fang!”
“Master White Fang is going to speak again, everyone be quiet!”
“Master White Fang, can I still buy it at this price now?” “.”
The futures hall immediately became lively, and the leeks looked at White Fang like a pilgrim, wanting to get White Fang’s tips.
“You are getting nervous again, and you are starting to want to give up your chips again, right?”
“I have told you so many times, every time you sell at a low price, I will buy them back at multiples of the price next time!”
“You must remember one thing, the current price is not important, you know, what is important is that you will never see the current price again in a month or two months!”
“Now is the best opportunity to buy at the bottom, you are still panicking now, and you will still be panicking ten years later when others have achieved financial freedom, and you are still doing nothing because you are still hesitating today.”
“Buy at the bottom, you bunch of rubbish.”
“.”
White Fang’s voice became low and magnetic, and the volume went from low to high, bewitching people like a demon.
The personality that Uchiha Nan had worked so hard to establish for White Fang in the past showed its effect at this moment. White Fang’s speech was like a charge horn, and the price of futures rose again.
“The Ninja World War has begun. This war will be more brutal than ever before. The price of pig iron is still halfway up the mountain!”
“Charge, everyone. If the price is not enough, I, White Fang, will make up for it.”
“.”
The passionate emotions have reached the peak along with White Fang’s shouting. The leeks, who are dazzled by the interests, even plan to throw their family assets in. The image established by White Fang is so perfect that they have lost their minds directly.
The shouting, the noise of the queue, and the red curve of the price climbing made Kakuzu’s heart pounding. The price of pig iron is still halfway up the mountain?
If I put the remaining 700 million taels in, wouldn’t it double to 1.4 billion? Greed and reason are fighting
More than a month of futures trading has raised Kakuzu’s threshold. It is too slow to earn hundreds of thousands of taels for a task. Kakuzu no longer looks down on this speed of making money.
Futures still make money quickly
In the end, greed overwhelmed reason, and Kakuzu gambled his fortune. White Fang’s predictions have never been wrong, and this time will not be the same!
All in!
The nobles and merchants were a little more rational and did not throw their wealth into it like the leeks. They were still waiting for news, waiting for news about the Ninja War.
This time the news came faster than usual. Kirigakure had landed in the Land of Fire, Konoha and Kirigakure had already exchanged fire, Iwagakure and Konoha were fighting fiercely, and there were even rumors that even Kumogakure would join the war again.
Among them, the true and false news was released by Uchiha Nan to confuse the audience. It was difficult for these nobles and merchants to distinguish the true from the false when facing the news spread by the ninja.
It didn’t matter whether it was true or false. All kinds of news showed that the situation of the war was still expanding, and there were signs of reproducing the first Ninja World War.
That kid White Fang really had inside information!
The nobles and merchants who were still hesitating whether to increase their positions also joined the army of leeks and started a new round of bottom-fishing. The price of pig iron once again soared.
Nara Shikato was slowly shipping out the goods. This time, the funds involved were as high as 10 billion, and the hyped price had increased nearly tenfold. He couldn’t sell too much at once, so he had to run a little bit at a time.
In order to ensure that the daimyo didn’t operate blindly, Nara Shikato directly took over all the daimyo’s accounts and handed them over to Konoha for management.
With funds as high as 100 billion, Nara Shikato couldn’t take care of it alone, and he urgently transferred some people from the family to control the situation.
Gradually, the price of pig iron began to rise slowly, but it was still rising every day. There were too many leeks, and they threw money into it one by one. The family assets of the nobles and big businessmen were also very rich. With the high IQ of the Nara family, everything went very smoothly.
Iwagakure Station
Tsuchikage Mu sat in the temporary camp tent, his eyes bleeding. The high-intensity war of attrition made Tsuchikage Mu’s heart ache.
Several times, Tsuchikage Mu wanted to fight Uchiha Tomita one-on-one. As long as he killed the frontline commander, the situation would turn around.
But Uchiha Tomita didn’t give Tsuchikage Mu any chance. Uchiha Tomita’s strength definitely occupies a place in Konoha. Although he didn’t open the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was also a well-known strong man.
Uchiha Tomita would be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight with Tsuchikage Mu, but Uchiha Tomita was not alone. He had a group of Uchiha’s three-magatama elite jonin around him. If Tsuchikage Mu was not careful, he would be hunted down.
The situation was deadlocked. Tsuchikage Mu looked at the consumption like water, and he had already begun to retreat in his heart. The battle line was too long. If he spent more than a month, he would lose all his assets.
We have fallen into Konoha’s trap!
Tsuchikage Mu felt bitter in his heart. It seemed that he would not get any advantage from attacking Konoha this time. It was time to find an excuse to return to the village.
In any case, this time they hit the heartland of Konoha, which was justifiable. They won face but lost substance.
Konoha had been exhausted by the barbarians of the Hidden Cloud Village before. This time, Konoha would not get any good out of the war of attrition. Everyone was rotten, which meant that no one was a loser!
Tsuchikage Mu comforted himself in his heart, his brain was running at high speed, and he was ready to find an opportunity to return to the village in a decent manner.
It would be better to let Konoha take the initiative to negotiate with him and extort some compensation from them.
The most direct way was naturally to kill Uchiha Tomita, but Uchiha Tomita was as slippery as a loach and did not give him any chance to fight alone.
“Lord Tsuchikage, no… it’s not good.”
“What’s going on? Why are you yelling so loud?”
“Could it be that Uchiha Tomita led a team to launch a surprise attack?”
Tsuchikage Mu frowned. What could be worse in this situation? Even if the Hokage of Konoha went to the front line in person, Tsuchikage Mu was not afraid of him. He just wanted to fight a strategic decisive battle.
The war of attrition has been going on for more than a month. It’s better to have a real fight.
“No, Lord Tsuchikage!”
“It’s the second generation of Kirigakure, Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, who has led the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to the flank of our army’s base, intending to raid the rear of our base.”
“The wounded, food and supplies are all there!”
Tsuchikage Mu’s eyes went dark, and he hadn’t reacted to the news yet.
Hozuki Gengetsu went around half of Konoha and headed straight to the rear of our army?
Are you out of your mind? Just look at the map and you will know how ridiculous this is!
