My Girlfriend is a Wicked Girl

Chapter 342 Grandfather Clock

Kitahara Hideji looked up, and found that it was a small four-story building. At first glance, it was ordinary, and he couldn’t recognize it as a bank without looking at the signboard—— Kuppongi Investment Bank, except that the steps were high enough, and there were lying on both sides of the door Except for the stone lion, there is nothing surprising.

It was still early, and it was obvious that it was not time for work, but Kaguraji followed Kitahara Hideji's instructions and went up the steps, pushing the door and entering, and there were actually many people in the bank.

Kagura Haruzuna explained to Kitahara Hideji with a smile: "When I get up in the morning, I will go to the cemetery first, and then come here directly. Sometimes these people have something to ask, and they will wait here."

Hideji Kitahara suddenly realized that it is really a daily behavior for you to walk here alone early in the morning. No wonder there are no security personnel in sight, maybe there are people on duty along the way, right?

He immediately began to hesitate whether he should leave, but Kagura Haruma turned his head and said to the group of people: "Now I have an important guest, so I will talk about it later."

Those people were very surprised, and their eyes fell on Hideji Kitahara, but no one had any objection—it was not an urgent matter, if it was urgent, they would directly contact the secretary of Kagura Haruzuna, and most of them had some future plans in their hands, so it was just to come here I want to communicate in advance and ask Kagura Haruzuna to nod, so that I don't waste my energy when I stop halfway through the work.

Kitahara Hideji was also a little surprised, he didn't feel how important he was.

Now he has the cheek to boast that he does have potential, but potential is not strength after all. His current strength is estimated to be less than one percent of Kagura Haruzuna. What is there to value?

He hurriedly said: "Mr. Kagura, if you have something to do, just go to work, you are welcome."

Kagura Haruzuna smiled at him, and said meaningfully: "This is not polite, Kitahara-kun, you are really important."

Kitahara Hideji was taken aback, but Kagura Haruzuna didn't explain any more, and led him to a corner of the hall, where there was a grandfather clock with a simple appearance and excellent maintenance.

The people around were about to disperse, but when they saw Haruzuna Kagura leading Hideji Kitahara to the grandfather clock, most of them slowed down, unable to hide their surprise, and a few of them suddenly became serious, As if thinking of something, he began to carefully look at Kitahara Hideji's back, as if he was going to engrave him in his heart.

Hideji Kitahara stared at the grandfather clock in a daze, not quite understanding what the Kaguraji Program meant when he came to see this thing, but a label appeared in his eyes after a while: [ordinary mechanical grandfather clock].

This thing is nothing unusual at all, the price of ordinary shopping malls is about 100,000 yen, and it is unlikely to be placed in the eyes of people like Kagura Haruzuna - this kind of thing is an ornament, and the effect of beautifying the environment is greater than watching the time .

Maybe a Feng Shui clock?

Kitahara Hideji wasn't sure, but Kagura Haruzuna stroked the wooden case of the grandfather clock and asked with a smile, "I made this clock, how do you feel?"

Um? Do you still have this hobby? Kitahara Hideji was even more surprised. After a closer look at the clock, it was still very ordinary, but he replied with a smile, "It looks pretty good."

Kagura Haruzuna smiled and said: "I worked as a watch apprentice for five years, and then I opened my first factory. It was small in scale, with only seven employees, but it closed down in eight months... This is the production at that time. The first grandfather clock, look, here is the serial number. At that time, I imagined that when the production reached 100,000 units, a celebration ceremony would be held, and this clock would be exhibited at that time. It turned out that this was the only souvenir left after the factory closed down. "

It turned out to be a souvenir, Kitahara Hideji asked with a smile: "Did something special happen at that time?"

"Are you asking why it went bankrupt?" Kagura Haruzuna glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's a very common thing. I have ambitions, but that's all I have. I just did it without thinking well. For anyone The difficulties were not anticipated, and there was no way out for myself, so it was only natural that I failed in the end.”

Hideji Kitahara nodded, he remembered, Yoko mentioned it yesterday, it seems that Kagura Haruzuna had a bad start, he knelt down when he tried to manage the business for the first time, and he wrote a banner and hung it in the quiet room for daily reflection , and put this clock in the first bank I owned, I think it is similar in nature, reminding myself not to make the same mistakes again.

Kagura Haruzuna stroked the grandfather clock a few more times, and led Hideji Kitahara to the stairs, as if intending to let Hideji Kitahara visit the place where he had struggled, and said with a smile: "Let's continue the topic just now... Kitahara-kun , You also have an understanding of that period of history, if you were you, what would you have done at that time?"

Kitahara Hideji didn't dare to answer for a while, the question was not about how to make money, as long as he knew the timing, even pigs could make money. Among other things, the stock market crash that was triggered at that time was the first, and it fell off a cliff by 40% that day. Coupled with reasonable leverage, it was instant profiteering. Bond markets are all alike.

How to use it is not difficult, the difficulty is how to know in advance...

He pondered for a while before slowly answering:

"I still don't have a deep understanding of the economic situation, but recently I heard a sentence in Eastern Union, and I think it makes sense-the market price performance is the result of common cognition."

"Just like the tulip ball transaction a long time ago, a tulip ball can be worth dozens of houses, that is, the public's awareness of the cost of tulip balls is getting less and less, and the proportion of optimistic expectations about the demand for tulip balls is increasing. Big, and finally formed prices that now look extremely outrageous."

"The real estate bubble formed in 1991 is probably similar to this situation. At first, not everyone believed that buying a house could make money, but it soon proved that buying a house was indeed profitable, and then came to the conclusion that there is a reason for high house prices, as long as This has become the result of mainstream cognition, so the rise of housing prices is inevitable. The more important this cognition is, the faster the rise will be. However, under the circumstances at that time, how to judge where is the peak and when will it collapse? ...requires a lot of information to judge."

He was not sure, and Kagura Haruzuna took up the conversation, and said with a smile: "It is not bad to have this understanding. You have indeed learned a lot in Donglian."

Hideji Kitahara immediately asked humbly: "How did Mr. Kagura make his judgment at that time?" You don't need to ask, you know that Kagura Haruzuna must have benefited a lot from that catastrophe, but people may not be willing to teach you about such things He—maybe it's just a layer of window paper, but it can't be broken, and he won't understand it for a lifetime, and it's worth thousands of gold.

And Kagura Haruka had no intention of hiding any secrets, and said with a smile: "To be blunt, I failed once and taught me a profound lesson. After half a year of decadence, I reflected day and night, and finally found out where the problem was... I lack access to information, and that prevents me from seeing through the fog of the future."

"Then how did you improve this situation?" Hideji Kitahara did not expect to go back to the failure of the watch factory, but he was very patient and continued to ask.

Kagura Haruzuna smiled calmly: "I found a good wife!"

Hideji Kitahara stopped walking, and looked at Kagura Haruzuna speechlessly, and Kagura Haruzuna smiled and said: "Don't believe in the myth that the grassroots start from scratch, it's too difficult, too difficult, a good education, the subtle teachings, accumulated The network of contacts and access to precious information are all important links that the grassroots are completely lacking... For example, the Yanai family, the richest man in Japan, has been making clothes since his grandfather's generation, and it was only in his generation that they had the advantage. Y Ku, completed the class leap, I just took a similar path to him."

"The wife you mentioned is Yoko's..."

"That's right, it's Yoko's grandma." Kagura Haruzuna smiled and said, "She is the person who helped me the most in this life, and she is the only woman in my life."

This... Kitahara Hideji met two powerful people when he came to Japan to study, and gave him advice. One is Fukuzawa Naotaka, who was reckless and turned into a scribe, cook, and alcoholic, and the other is the self-made super rich Kaguraji. It's clear, and these two are dedicated people, but I have two girlfriends now, as long as there are no major changes, I will have two wives in the future...

It is no longer possible for him to have anything to do with devotion. Facing a dedicate person, he naturally fell into a disadvantage mentally, and he couldn't help feeling extremely guilty and blushing.

Kagura Haruzuna didn't notice his strangeness, and said with a smile: "She is from Tokyo. She has many relatives in her family. Most of them run factories, and the other half are bureaucrats. I started to expand my network through her, and restarted the factory operation. Starting from a small processing factory, I successfully boarded the car of economic revitalization, and by about 1985, I was already well-off, and even had a few good pieces of land in Tokyo.”

"Then what?"

"Then I faced a choice, whether to continue to engage in manufacturing or fully invest in the real estate industry... At that time, the profits of the manufacturing industry could not be compared with the real estate industry, but when I wanted to devote myself to the real estate industry, I suddenly remembered my first The reason for a failure... I ask myself, do I have enough information? Have I considered the risk of failure? Do I have a way out?"

"Then..."

"Later, I calmed down and didn't rush to do it in order to make money like the first failure. Instead, I collected information through various channels. It happened that there was a nationwide currency tension in Japan in early 1986. I noticed a large number of factories. The news of poor capital turnover has been paid more attention to, and a second investigation was conducted again, a large sum of money was spent, and it took a long time before I made up my mind to leave the real estate industry."

Hideji Kitahara understood, and said with a smile: "You avoided that catastrophe after that, and you took advantage of it by the way."

Kagura Haruzuna smiled and said: "That's right, it's almost like this, I'm lucky."

Kitahara Hideji nodded with a smile, but he didn't believe it at all - he really believed that he was just lucky or a fool! Fate has always been an excuse for the loser, and good luck has always been a humble word for the strong and wise!

Haruzuna Kagura said it lightly, but he knew it with his ass. At that time, he didn't know how entangled he was. He didn't know how many times he hid himself to torture his heart. Judgment, and I don’t know how he made that kind of determination—there is a manufacturing industry with increasingly meager profits over there, and the housing land here is rising every day. What kind of determination is needed to gradually withdraw from projects that can make big money? Regather the funds and maintain the factory while waiting to deliver the coup de grace.

Thinking about the kind of mental torment and pressure, Hideji Kitahara could even see Kagura Haruzuna sitting in the quiet room with his frightening eagle eyes when he decided to make the layout in advance.

Dare to go against everyone's ideas, this in itself

It is courage, and the fact proves his wisdom - he really sees through the fog of the future, which is very powerful.

Kaguraji guided Kitahara Hideji to continue wandering around, and continued: "After the economic collapse, I established this bank to absorb funds."

"It's all about that?"

"Acquisition of a bankrupt factory, a research institute that lost its source of funds, and by the way, a large amount of land, real estate, and stocks were purchased at a low price. During the most chaotic period, everyone was crazy. They only cared about reducing losses. Anything as long as you are willing to pay Willing to sell. Everything purchased at that time has increased in value by almost dozens of times, after all, Tokyo is still the world's leading big city." Kagura Haruzuna led Kitahara Hideji to the chairman's room, and showed him the map ——There are a lot of assets buried in this small investment bank, which is equivalent to Kagura’s reserve. On the map, there are densely packed land and factories belonging to Kagura, and even an entire street in a prime location belongs to Kagura.

This is a huge fortune. In the first half of his life, Kaguraji Tsuna completed primitive accumulation through the manufacturing industry, made a lot of money by taking advantage of the economic collapse, and then took advantage of the chaos at that time to start a snowball. After more than ten years of rolling, it was a bit I can't stop feeling.

It really is a legendary life... But why do you want to let yourself know his family history and assets in such detail? Although it is definitely not all the assets, but a part of the family's wealth has been revealed through two meetings, isn't this too trusting?

But he didn't ask, just listened carefully, and Kagura Zhizuna gave him a brief explanation for a while, then led him down, and said with a smile: "Others say that I am a banker, but the purpose of my establishment of the bank is only It is to closely link factories and commercial companies involved in multiple industries, and facilitate the exchange of funds between each other."

After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself, "I didn't expect the investment bank to grow to this scale, and finally became the owner of the Imperial Bank. It can only be said to be a gift of the times."

Kitahara Hideji nodded clearly. This is actually the prototype of a huge consortium, integrating manufacturing and sales, and the bank is the core to coordinate. Unexpectedly, Kagura Haruzuna is in his seventies, and his ambitions have not yet been fully satisfied.

A watch apprentice from the countryside to Tokyo has established a business kingdom in Tokyo. The next step is to start extending tentacles to the whole of Japan, right? It has only been more than ten years since Kagura Zhigang's assets have made a qualitative leap. Has this just been digested?

Kagura Haruzuna looked at Kitahara Hideji and nodded, and asked with a smile, "Do you know what I'm going to do next?"

"I know, it's amazing." Hideji Kitahara told the truth that the large Japanese conglomerates have been accumulated for hundreds of years, and the longest history can be traced back to the shogunate period. Kagura Haruzuna planned to create one out of nowhere by himself. This is really powerful.

Kagura Zhizuna nodded in satisfaction: "I also think it's amazing. I haven't worked in vain in my life, but I don't have much time..."

Kitahara Hideji looked at him in surprise, and he immediately smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Kitahara-kun, I won't die for a while, it's just that I'm running out of energy."

Kitahara Hideji felt the same way, no matter how rich you are, your body will still age. This cannot be avoided by anyone, but he still comforted him with false words: "No, you are still in good spirits!"

Kagura Haruzuna didn't care about his words, and said helplessly: "Management is actually very simple, it is to see through the fog of the future, just like playing chess, whoever sees farther will win, and if you want to win everyone, you have to compare Everyone sees far, but I am faced with more and more information, but I have less and less energy to think... I heard that you played chess with Yoko for a long time last night, do you think she How is it going?"

Kitahara Hideji didn't expect him to change the subject in the middle of his lament, he pondered for a while before laughing and said: "She's still young." Yoko is just a stinky chess player, but there are few little girls who like to play chess, so they can understand.

Kagura Haruzuna laughed: "I taught her to play chess, but she is not interested, and I am afraid she will not be interested in business in the future. Are you interested in this?"

Hideji Kitahara replied honestly: "Yes, I will try it in a few years." No matter which direction he develops in the future, he will be inseparable from money, and he plans to start working when he is in college!

"That's great!" Kagura Haruzuna immediately agreed: "Let's not talk about small fights. If you have the ambition to become big, then how do you think you can see through the fog of the future?"

"Get as much information as possible, analyze carefully, and think over and over again, that is, information acquisition..." Kitahara Hideji thinks this is the case. Most people have similar intelligence, and judgment is never difficult. The difficulty lies in how to get comprehensive information.

"It seems that you understand, that's good. The grassroots want to start from scratch but they can't make it big. Most of them are stuck in the information channel. It's hard to judge the situation clearly. Do you have any thoughts on this?" Kagura Harazuna Returning to the front of the grandfather clock, he opened the dial and took out a large key from his pocket, "This is also the reason why many rich people are second-generation and third-generation. The accumulation of the previous generation will be used by the next generation."

Hideji Kitahara thought for a while and said: "I can only say that I will pay attention to this aspect in the future, but I haven't figured out how to do it."

He has no accumulation at all, the original owner's parents can't count on it, and the two wives he will marry in the future can't provide much help in this regard, and everything has an internal law, and there is enough information to be able to summarize this law, at least it can be judged The trend of the times, with psychological preparation, can take advantage of the opportunity to conform to the general trend, so as to take the lead step by step.

Kagura Haruzuna smiled and said nothing, but inserted the big key into the dial and began to wind the grandfather clock. This grandfather clock seems to need to be wound three times. The string mouths are at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock. He finished the first one with great effort, and then went to the second one, but halfway through it seemed a bit tired.

Kitahara Hideji felt very ceremonial, and didn't dare to ask to help him twist it. He suspected that this clock could only be wound by Kagura Haruzuna, but Kagura Haruzuna stopped slowly, and handed the big key to him. He asked meaningfully: "Mr. Beiyuan, I don't have much strength anymore, do you want to help me wind this clock in the future?"

Kitahara Hideji was surprised, and didn't dare to pick up the big key for a moment, but asked, "Is this suitable?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. You have a good character, you are talented, smart enough, young, and most importantly...Yoko chose you." Kaguraji Tsuna held the big key in his palm and waited for Kitahara Shuji Come and get it, "Of course you want to walk my way again, but you may not be as lucky as me, so you might as well walk the way for me. I have perfect contacts and enough information acquisition channels, you can save money. A lot of time, building a future on top of me...how does it feel?"

Kitahara Hideji looked at the key, and then at Kagura Haruzuna. He was a little confused about what was going on... It sounded like he was going to make himself the second generation of Kagura Family, and turn Kagura House into a large one for him. The consortium, and this key, represents...represents the qualification to control hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds?

This kind of qualification, as long as you reach out your hand?
