National Tide 1980

Eighty-seven trillion yen!

For such a number alone, it may be difficult for people to intuitively imagine its meaning.

When it comes to US$675 billion, there is no idea.

This is especially true for the Japanese in this era.

Because their after-dinner conversations have long been filled with amounts worth hundreds of millions or trillions of yen.

So even if they hear these unimaginable amounts, they will not have any more feelings.

In fact, the 87 trillion yen mentioned here is precisely the total market value of Japanese official and private assets held overseas as of 1987.

This figure includes not only fixed assets invested and built by companies abroad, but also current assets such as securities investments and bank deposits.

Even if you look at overseas net assets after excluding loans and other debts, it is still 19 trillion yen.

That is 158 billion 33 million U.S. dollars, which fully shows Japan's economic strength.

In fact, Japan's overseas net assets have continued to increase every year since 1982.

In 1985, it far exceeded the US$70 billion in the previous year, breaking through the US$120 billion mark, becoming the number one in the world.

Following the championship in overseas net assets, Japan's current balance of trade surplus and foreign exchange reserves also ranked first in the world in 1987.

All three indicators showing economic strength ranked first in the world, and "winning the Triple Crown" suddenly became a popular buzzword on the streets of Japan.

At this time, Japan's per capita GNP also ranked first in the world, allowing Japan to legitimately ascend to the throne of the "Empire of the Rich."

However, the huge wealth and unprecedented success that came from the sky also seriously stimulated the ambitions of the Japanese and further fueled their desires.

The belief in one's own power soon turned everyone in this country into prisoners of "money first" and believers in "Japan's number one".

So just like Japan on the eve of World War II, these Japanese devils went crazy again, and they didn't know how thick the sky was.

Not only did they forget who was the master and who was the slave, they began to try to control others and force others to submit through economic power.

Furthermore, we must use self-centered values ​​to influence and control the world.

Just like some time ago, a Japanese rich man casually spent 25 billion yen to buy paintings by Van Gogh and Renoir, and actually threatened to take them into a coffin and burn them together after his death.

His remarks immediately aroused a cry of crusade in Europe, and also exposed that the Japanese people's views on money, culture, and values ​​have been distorted to the point where they can casually tell such vulgar jokes.

Therefore, Yujiro Sakai's characteristics of being ambitious, not overestimating his abilities, and prone to daydreaming are not isolated cases in Japanese society.

Hidden under the special background of the economic bubble is actually the collective madness of countless prisoners of desire like him.

Almost every Japanese person, in this era, is actually more or less in a state of disbelief.

In fact, if you look at the appearance of the other guests who have decided to attend Ning Weimin's wedding tomorrow, you can get an idea of ​​the specific situation.

…………

In Tokyo's Koto Ward, there is a small restaurant called Ogiya, which is very elegantly decorated.

"Hey! A guest is coming!"

Supervisor Ishikawa of Pierre Cardon's Japanese branch shouted unceremoniously, taking off his shoes and socks and walking into the inner room regardless of whether there was a response.

The front of this store is only two rooms wide, but there is a long courtyard that leads directly from the outside to the inside, which is quite characteristic of the deep architecture of the Edo period.

The maid came out with a panic look on her face, and Supervisor Ishikawa looked at her as if she was the master and asked him without any politeness.

"Is my guest coming?"

"Here, please come with me."

After the waitress answered, she respectfully led Ishikawa to the door of a Japanese-style room.

The sliding door was gently opened from the outside, and another middle-aged man in a suit was sitting inside, drinking tea from a teacup.

This person is none other than Tadao Takada, the vice president of Pierre Cardon.

"What's going on with you guy? You called me here for no reason. Today is the weekend, and I was going to play golf. What is this urgent matter that requires me to come here to talk about it?"

As soon as he saw Ishikawa's face, Takada couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Takada-kun, haha, I made you change your original arrangement. To be honest, I actually wanted to communicate with you privately about the company's current financial situation. It's always inconvenient for others to know about this kind of thing. I can only come here It's safer here..." Ishikawa laughed.

However, the more this happened, the more suspicious Takada became.

"Ah, Ishikawa, you won't get into trouble, right? You said it was urgent, didn't you cause financial losses to the club?"

""Oh, don't keep such a stern face! How could this be the case? On the contrary, I only came to you after I made a lot of money for the company. "

"Huh? Make a lot of money?"

"Yes, it's 1.7 billion yen. Last year, I suggested that the company invest 600 million yen in the stock market. It's only been about half a year. I've made nearly three times the profit. It's so easy."

"You actually earn so much? How is it possible?"

Tadao Takada couldn't help being surprised.

In fact, since NTT's stock market surged, even the most conservative Japanese have begun to get involved in the stock market.

Of course Takada Tadao is no exception, but as a person who is not familiar with financial games, he has benefited much less, currently only 50%, which is naturally surprising.

"Well, I have access to Sanyo Securities, and I can know stocks that only make money without losing money. My personal investment has also tripled."

Supervisor Ishikawa revealed a little secret to him with a smile.

"You are just showing off! But what do you say to me about such a thing? Go tell the president. The president will definitely commend you! Are you still afraid that I will be jealous of you?"

Although Tadao Takada said so verbally, it was already obvious that the grapes tasted sour if they could not eat them.

"Takada-kun, why don't you understand? I have a way to make a profit without losing any money. But except for the part I invest with my own money, no matter how much money I make, it belongs to the company. What do I have? Benefits? Do I still care about the president's commendation? I'm not a section chief, can the president drive me away and promote me to the position of executive, or promote me to the position of general manager? Guekou Xiuqian Supervisor? No matter how much I do, I still stay in place?"

"Speak more clearly..."

"It's very simple. I have done enough for the club. Now I want to think about myself, so I came to you to make a fortune together. You are responsible for the channels of the mall, and I am responsible for the finance. Why don't we work together to improve the company's accounts receivable?" Hold on to the money. The current stock market is so good that you can make money even with your eyes closed. As long as we get involved in the stock market, even if we only delay it for a month or two, we can gain a lot of money..."

"What, you want me to cooperate with you in embezzling public funds?" Takada Tadao was surprised by Supervisor Ishikawa's true purpose, "How dare you come up with such an idea?"

However, Supervisor Ishikawa acted indifferently and stabbed "a sword" instead.

"Stop pretending in front of me. I'm a professional financial person. There are things that others don't know, but I can see clearly. Do you dare to say that you haven't done anything similar?"

Tadao Takada's complexion suddenly changed and became quite ugly.

"Are you threatening me? What evidence do you have for saying that!"

But the clinker Supervisor Ishikawa started fighting again haha.

"Haha, President Takada, please don't be angry. How could I mean this? You are the dignified vice president, and you are the well-deserved second person in our Japanese branch. Why should I, a small supervisor, follow Are you an enemy? What’s more, haven’t I said anything I shouldn’t have said or done something I shouldn’t have done to cause trouble for you? Aren’t we newly tacit allies on many issues related to the company? ? Brother, please don’t look outside. In fact, you and I are in the same situation from a certain perspective. No matter how well we do, what we can achieve in the end is due to the president’s leadership. ? That’s why we should help each other. This is why I invite you here and dare to be honest with you..."

"But if this is leaked, our future will be doomed. Stop saying such rude words, just pretend I didn't hear..." Takada Tadao calmed down a little, but he was still angry. look like.

𝑠𝑡𝑜55.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Supervisor Ishikawa had no choice but to use inducements and use the financial data he was good at to persuade.

"I said, man, stop looking forward and backward. It takes time to lay eggs. Think about it, what is without risk? But there is no time when the risks are lower and the benefits are greater than now. Doing this kind of thing now, I'm really sure. One hundred million can still earn twenty million. With our company's repayment level, it shouldn't be difficult for us to borrow four or five billion yen. Everyone has a net worth of several hundred million yen. Even if the worst outcome is discovered, what will happen if we take the blame and resign? If we do everything carefully and stay safe, then of course we will make a lot of money. Even if you can't take over as the president in the future, I can't be promoted anymore, and it's worth it. Retirement in the future will be better than that of Fukuda Ei and Sekiguchi. The two guys are much more comfortable..."

I have to say that Ishikawa's description is very attractive, and Takada Tadao is quite moved.

But he still had trouble making up his mind and answered uncertainly.

"Well, I have to think about it again. As you know, my cousin has been working as a secretary next to the chairman at the French headquarters. I am able to achieve the position of vice president because of my cousin. I If something goes wrong in this area, I will be sorry for the chairman's attention. It will be a big deal if I am embarrassed and resign, but it will be very troublesome if it affects my cousin..."

Ishikawa carefully observed Takada's reaction and determined that he was really worried about this.

He was not in a hurry and quickly lowered his posture, but still stimulated him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, I can understand your difficulties, so you should think about it carefully. But I advise you to attend Ning Sang's wedding tomorrow, and you should have a good chat with him. He is our ready-made role model. You see, he is a Chinese People have made a fortune in Japan by stock trading, and tomorrow they will marry the most beautiful woman in Japan. What does it take to become famous and win a beautiful woman? It is actually very simple, isn't it just to seize the opportunity and dare to use the funds of the Chinese company? Investing in the Japanese stock market. To be honest, we really underestimated him. Looking at it now, I am afraid that what we lack most is the adventurous spirit of young people..."

"Ning... Weimin? Do you think he misappropriated the funds of Huaxia Company?" Takada Tadao didn't expect it again.

"What is there to doubt about this? He alone makes the decision, and no one will ask him what he does! Otherwise, why would he use a pure gold lighter to hook up with a big star? Oh, by the way, you still Remember that Kagawa who refused to drink with you? It seems that he has always been very close to him in private. I heard that he manages the store for him and gets a lot of subsidies from him every month. Look at this. This is the correct way to pick up girls. In comparison, just using your power to force your subordinates has no benefits, but it seems less clever..."

What Ishikawa said makes sense,

Under the gold-framed glasses, Takada's small eyes were shining, revealing all jealousy and envy.

"Oh, let's put it this way, besides being brave, this guy is really lucky. He came to Japan just in time for the stock market to rise sharply. Not only has he made a lot of money by embezzling public funds, but he has also become a famous businessman in Japan by opening up the business situation. The hero of Huaxia Company. Even I recently received an order from the president, and I am afraid I have to lower my head to discuss with him the sales agent of the Pierre Cardon brand trolley case. It is really unexpected that he is from the third world. A poor boy who has only been in Japan for a few years has managed to reach this level. Not only does he have a celebrity as his wife, but he also has a lover like Kagawa. Do you think this world is too unfair..."

While he was sighing, the sliding door of the Japanese room was gently opened from the outside.

A beautiful woman with a Western hairstyle appeared.

She took two waitresses with her and put food and wine on their table.

After the two maids retreated, what surprised Takada even more was that Ishikawa, with a playful look, proudly pulled the leading woman over and introduced him to him.

"Ah, Takada-kun, this is Tokie, the boss lady here. She used to be a geisha in Shinchi, Osaka. She looks pretty ordinary, but according to what I know, her skills in that area are top-notch. I can guarantee that. "

This woman is probably around forty years old, slightly older.

However, she was born with a plump figure and pretty features, and she was worthy of being a geisha. Her every frown and smile were very charming, which made it easier for people to lose their minds.

"Oh, you are so annoying, don't say such unreasonable things in front of people you meet for the first time!"

The proprietress glared at Ishikawa pretending to be angry, but still picked up the bottle and helped the guests pour wine with a smile.

However, Ishikawa still showed a lustful look and did not flinch.

"Ha, what is there to be ashamed of? By the way, this is my boss, President Takada. Although he is still a poor president with a salary, we are going to cooperate in financial management business. I'm afraid it won't be long. He will become a real rich man that you can’t even see in the queue. You should take the opportunity to flatter him today.”

And when he introduced the monkey like this, the landlady immediately said with a smile and respect, "Hello, first time we meet! I am Tokie from Ogiya. Since you are Ishikawa-san's friend, I hope you will take good care of me in the future..."

Needless to say, it is obvious what kind of relationship they have.

After the landlady retreated, Takada Tadao looked at Ishikawa in front of him as if he was frightened.

"Ishikawa, is she... is she a geisha? You... you actually... actually..."

For no other reason than to take care of geishas has always been a habit of Japanese political and financial leaders.

It was an upper-class fashion, and it came at a huge cost.

Take Tanaka Kakuei as an example. It is said that the geisha he keeps has to pay 50 million yen a year for his love.

"Haha..." Takada Tadao's dull expression amused Ishikawa.

"How's it going? Are you shocked? Yes, I tell you, she is the woman I kept and raised in the outer room. I also helped her open this small shop. Who said that only big men can enjoy such a blessing? ? In such a good time, thanks to the stock market, people like us can also enjoy the life of big shots..."

"How much money have you made?" Takada seemed to be frightened and couldn't believe that Ishikawa had such financial resources.

Little did he know that he was falling into Ishikawa's plan step by step.

"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you think. After all, she is not a young girl anymore. But to be honest, a woman like her is still great. No matter what, she can serve a man comfortably. Now I almost never eat at home. With a woman like Shi Jiang, who would want to eat food cooked by a wrinkled old woman? You look really jealous of me now, don’t you? You can totally be like me..."

Takada Tadao hurriedly waved his hand, "Where, I don't even dare to think about it. If nothing else, it would be difficult for my wife alone..."

"Okay. I tell my President Takada, don't use your wife as a shield. In fact, it's just as easy to get a wife. All women are essentially the same. As long as you have money for her to squander and a sweeter mouth, your wife will be happy. A man can't show his charisma if he doesn't show off once in a while. We're all men, so let's not act on this issue. I don't know that you like young people, right? . But why should you? In fact, what men need most is a young girl like Xiangchuan, who has big desires and thin skin, and is not easy to get, not to mention being younger in other aspects. What advantages do you have, the whole person is cold and cold..."

Ishikawa carried out subtle instigation with a victor's attitude.

Needless to say, he wanted to stimulate Takada Tadao's desire so that he could pull him on board and turn him into his accomplice.

"What do you think? Are you interested? If you are, let's do it together. When we make money, I can also let Shijiang act as a matchmaker for you. She has a few sisters in Osaka who also want to find a sponsor. And the price is not expensive, less than 20 million yen a year is enough, or we can directly spend 100 million or 200 million to help the other party open a store, which is more cost-effective for us..."

It must be said that his trick really worked.

For Takada, seeing that Ishikawa, who obviously has a lower position than him in the company, can actually live such a life, he was really jealous.

From this time on, he never said no again.
