National Tide 1980

When Kenichi Sagawa walked out of the general manager's office, he was so excited that he was shaking all over.

Although the people outside had no idea what happened inside except for a few angry curses from inside.

And the eyes of those colleagues looked at him as if he were a dead man.

Even Kenichi Sagawa himself knew that Gobe Kanji's submission and compromise in front of him just now indicated a misunderstanding, and he would not hold it against him.

It was just because he did not expect that his subordinate, who had been manipulated by him before, would dare to face up to the resistance and was not used to his gorgeous turn. It was just an emergency hedging measure in the face of an out-of-control situation under sudden circumstances.

Most of the time, he will find an opportunity to retaliate in the future. This bastard is sure to turn his face and not recognize people.

But the feeling of being willful is really damn good!

He can finally stand up and speak loudly to his boss.

And he said harsh words to his face, scolding his boss so much that he didn't even dare to talk back.

Such a highlight moment makes people feel very happy, just like letting out a long fart.

This kind of pleasure gained through rough verbal attacks is simply addictive. If he has not experienced it, he will never understand the joy of it.

Recalling Gobe Kanji's fearful and confused expression just now, even if Sagawa Kenichi sat back in his seat, he was still immersed in the intoxicating satisfaction.

This stinky fat guy finally knows how to respect others.

What a shitty boss! It turns out that he is also a coward, and he doesn't even dare to fire him!

It seems that his past toughness was all pretended, and he is actually just a coward in his heart.

However, despite this, Sagawa Kenichi was not completely overwhelmed by the sudden happiness.

He still knows how to distinguish between the big and small kings and remembers what he should do.

So when he calmed down initially, he quickly contacted Ning Weimin with his mobile phone and explained all the situations today in detail.

He also apologized for his impulsiveness and promised that everything that happened today would never affect Ning Weimin's arrangements.

And Ning Weimin's response was also gratifying enough.

Ning Weimin told Sagawa Kenichi that he understood his emotional outburst and his promise to him remained unchanged.

He told him not to worry about anything, and said that if his boss really wanted to make things difficult for him, he should just do as he said and clear out the inventory completely.

However, in order to leave some room for this matter and avoid unnecessary trouble, he also hoped that he would stop when it was enough.

In particular, he should never challenge his boss in public again, and at least give Gobe Kanji some face.

In order to avoid further intensification of the conflict and let things fall into a dead end.

In this regard, Sagawa Kenichi naturally had no reason to refuse, and he just felt that it was the greatest luck in his life to meet a reasonable customer like Ning Weimin.

To be honest, in fact, when he was in this situation, he felt that it was really not worth it to worry about this and that in the past.

In the past, he attached too much importance to the interests of the company and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and spent a lot of time and energy to make money for the company and curry favor with his boss, but what was the use?

The nature of a company is greed that is never satisfied, and the purpose of the boss's existence is to squeeze all subordinates to death.

On the other hand, only customers can give these originally humble people a dignified and decent life.

The professional life of sales staff is maintained by the trust of customers.

With customers, you have everything, without customers, you are nothing.

So what should we do in the future, there is no need to say it, right?

Just like him now, as long as he has the support of Ning Weimin, he can live a life of idleness, and Wubu Kanci can't do anything to him.

He even has a sense of freedom and fulfillment of liberation now, and the only regret is that he realized this too late.

So from this moment on, he has to change his way of life and start a life that is completely different from the past.

…………

Sometimes it is difficult to explain opportunities.

People who deliberately want to find it seem to be nowhere to be found.

Looking back after the passage of time, it is found that the opportunities at the time seem to be everywhere.

So people always regret why their eyes were so blind at the beginning.

Obviously such a good opportunity is not visible.

What's worse, some people will regret why they mistook the trap for an opportunity, and happily grabbed it, but ended up grabbing shit.

In fact, even during the bubble economy, when it was easiest to make money, this kind of thing was not uncommon.

Not everyone is as lucky as Ning Weimin, who was blessed by God and had a time-travel plug-in.

Not everyone is as self-aware as Sagawa Kenichi, who can distinguish between the big and small kings.

Even they can't be as content as Director Taniguchi, who can listen to advice and stop at the right time, and restrain their greed.

Then these people, the more they are in this economic bubble environment, the faster they will be unlucky and the more miserable they will die.

For example, those who bought NTT.

At the beginning, they were indeed lucky.

NTT, a stock that the Japanese likened to "God's arrival on earth".

With the help of Japan's bubble economy, it triggered a nationwide rush to buy.

Because there were too many people who wanted to subscribe, the total number of subscriptions finally reached 10.5 million. In desperation, the Japanese government had to use the old method of lottery.

As a result, at the beginning of the listing, in just two months, the increase was as high as 200%, reaching 3 million yen per share.

This stock had a market value of more than 350 billion US dollars in 1987, making it the most valuable company in the world at that time.

Everyone recognized that it was a blue chip stock and that buying it would definitely make money.

But few people seriously thought about whether its performance could support such a huge stock price.

In fact, if NTT's market price is as huge as it is, NTT needs to earn more than 250 billion yen every year for at least two hundred years to support this stock price.

So, when Ning Weimin warned Director Taniguchi about the risk prediction at the wedding of Zuo Haiyoujiro and Kagawa Miyoko, hoping that he would sell it immediately,

he then accurately predicted the subsequent trend of NTT like a fortune teller.

NTT's stock quickly rushed to a high point of 3.18 million yen in a short period of time, and it had already reached its peak.

Soon, it fell to 28 billion yen in a week.

Then it took another week to rise back to 3.15 million yen.

After that, this stock never reached a new high.

Almost at the same time as Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko started their trip to France, this "first blue chip stock" that attracted the attention of all Japanese citizens began a long bear market.

By the time Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko returned to China, the stock had fallen to 2.25 million yen.

There were only two sideways movements in the two months, and there was no decent rise.

Perhaps it was because it was really oversold in the short term, and it only showed a decent big positive line in recent days, and the price returned to around 2.5 million yen.

This is the trend of this stock over the past period of time.

Don't think that this stock has only fallen by 20% from its high, which seems not too high.

But such a trend can completely break people's defense.

Especially for big players who have placed heavy bets on this stock.

For no other reason, it is because this is a period of general rise in the Japanese stock market.

In the current Japanese stock market, except for those who hold Toshiba stocks that are sanctioned by the United States, there is no one who is more unlucky than those who hold this stock.

From their point of view, they see that most stocks are rising every day, but NTT, which they hold, is not rising but falling. How do investors who own NTT stocks feel?

So at the wedding of Zuo Haiyoujiro, the two young men who dared to provoke Ning Weimin face to face - Ninomiya Hideo and Nagase Yasuo.

Recently, they are in a very bad mood and no longer have the arrogance they had at the beginning.

They work in the investment department of Taisho Insurance. It is precisely because they are extremely optimistic about NTT stocks that their recent investment returns are extremely bleak.

Several additional positions that were originally intended to make up for the losses did not help, but instead caused a greater deficit.

So recently they have been scolded by their superiors almost every day, and they have been keeping their tails between their legs almost every day in the company.

Facing their superiors and colleagues, they can no longer raise their heads, and they don’t know how to deal with themselves.

Especially, they always remembered the scene when they laughed at Ning Weimin for advising Director Taniguchi to sell NTT stocks.

Now they realized that they were the real fools, who were blind to the truth. How could they feel?

There was nothing else. Now the only thing they could do was to pray to God every day to let NTT stock rise again.

As long as it rose by another 10%, to a price of about 2.8 million, they could close their positions safely.

As for them, of course they didn't know that even the big positive lines in the past two days were the last glimmer of NTT stock in terms of stock price performance.

Their wishes were purely unrealistic and would never come true.

You know, NTT, a monopoly stock released by the Japanese government, was sold to the people not to give them welfare and money, but to let the Japanese people take over for the country.

Although the Japanese government still has a lot of NTT stocks to issue, in order to keep stock investors interested in this stock, they will try their best to stimulate the stock price and prevent NTT stocks from falling sharply.

Whether it is to release news or to split a subsidiary and list it, they will do everything they can.

But after all, this stock is a huge money-eating beast, and it requires too much capital.

In the next two years, the Japanese government used all its strength, and at most it could only maintain the stock price at an average price of about 2 million yen.

In fact, even when the Nikkei index hit a historical high two years later, NTT's stock has never had any decent market conditions. It has been fluctuating in a stock price range of about 700,000 to 800,000 yen.

So unless these two guys can step on the rhythm to buy high and sell low.

Otherwise, no matter what, NTT will be destined to become one of the shameful marks in their investment careers, and will always be laughed at by colleagues and peers who know about it.

But then again, even so, they are not the most unlucky.

Because those who are more unlucky than them are those who borrow money to invest in stocks, or even secretly embezzle public funds to invest in stocks.

For example, Ishikawa, the supervisor of Pierre Cardon Co., Ltd., and Takata, the vice president, are currently in a very bad state.

Although they still sit together in a high-end restaurant and drink, there is no happy atmosphere at all. There is only complaints and blame on each other.

"I really regret it. Why did I believe your words in the first place? I was really obsessed with intercepting the payment from the mall and gave the money to you to speculate in NTT."

"What are you talking about? When you bought this stock, it rose by 15% in a few days. Aren't you very happy? And the choice of this stock is not my opinion alone. Securities Company You recommended three stocks, and you also like NTT the most. You also said, "NTT controls all Japan's telephone and communications. Our Japanese economy will be extremely prosperous in the future, so of course the most important stock in Japan will never end." . 'Have you forgotten?'

After just a few words, Ishikawa left Takada speechless.

The redness on his face even worsened, as if he drank an extra bottle of sake.

It's just that although he knows that the responsibility cannot be placed entirely on Ishikawa, he is also at fault.

But the problem is that the loss figure is too big. After waiting for more than two months, he can't help but complain.

"Okay, there is no point in pursuing what is right and wrong now. Let's discuss what to do next? The market has been pretty good these two days, and it has finally gone up. I just want to know, if we sell now If you lose NTT, how much loss will there be?”

"You want to sell? What nonsense are you talking about! If we sell now, we will lose 250,000 yen per share, a total loss of 20 million yen. This does not include handling fees. If we add them all together, then It’s almost 26.72 million yen.”

"I'm not talking nonsense, I just want to get out. Before things get worse, let's sell it. The loss will be half for you and half for me..."

Ishikawa was stunned by President Takada's words, and then he categorically objected.

"No! Never! My President Takada, think about it carefully. These losses are just floating losses now. If we sell, it will become an actual loss. Are you really willing to admit defeat and leave like this? Even if each of us Paying half of it is more than 10 million yen, which is at least half a year's salary for you? My salary is 800,000 yen less than yours, and I can't afford such a loss."

"What do you mean? Are you still stubborn and continuing to gamble?"

"Why not? We finally took out the money and invested it in the stock market, but we just didn't have good luck. You just saw NTT losing money, why didn't you see other stocks rising? Think about it. , if we had not invested all our money in this one stock, but had invested diversified in every stock recommended by the securities company, we would not have the results we have now, right? . This just proves that there is no such thing as a foolproof stock.”

"Then what you mean is that we buy two-thirds of NTT now and exchange it for other stocks?"

"No, what I mean is, we invest more. We use the new money to buy other stocks and win back."

"Where is the money?" Ishikawa's radical suggestion shocked Takada.

"Are you crazy? Where did the new funds come from? Do you want me to withhold funds again? I won't do it anymore."

"Don't refuse so hastily." Ishikawa said slowly, "You don't have to do too much like last time, as long as you get another 100 million yen or so. I have already made an agreement with the securities company. If we raise funds, You can give us 70% of the capital. In this way, we can use the market value as collateral to get another 200 million yen in financing loans. We can use 500 million yen to speculate in stocks. As long as the stock price rises by another 5%, we can even out the losses. With a 10% increase, we’ll earn 20 million yen.”

President Takada thought carefully for a while, but still shook his head.

"No, it's impossible. If you do this, what if there's an accident? What if it's going down? You're too wishful thinking."

However, Ishikawa still said, "There will be no surprises. Can you take a good look at the trend of the Japanese stock market? It has been an upward trend for more than two years. I don't know how many stocks have risen several times. It's only occasionally Some small adjustments will soon increase. We are not greedy. We only want to make 20-30% of our investment. Is this too much? Besides, we have learned a lesson this time. I only recommend buying it just in case. There is no way that all stocks will fall. From a probability perspective, I can also assure you that as long as we make 100 million, we will take out the principal and return 500 million to the company. Judging from the amount of yen, it only requires a 20% increase, and the chance of winning is not small. "

Having said this, Ishikawa even moved his face closer to Takada and said bewitchingly.

"We are all smart people, there is no need to play language tricks. I know you feel unbalanced in this matter. Because you provide the funds. Well, let's adjust the distribution ratio. In the future, you will make profits Take six and I’ll take four, is that okay?”

Since the lenses of the glasses were illuminated by the light, from Takada's perspective, it seemed as if Ishikawa's pupils had added a faint glow.

Takada was so dazzled by this light that he couldn't bear it any longer. He was so greedy that he gritted his teeth and said, "I will bear the risk now. If you have to do this, I will give you 70%. And you have to help me find an excuse to go." President Hasegawa’s inquiry, if you want to refuse, just refuse.”

Ishikawa was silent for a while and nodded. "Okay, but I also have a request. You must try to get as much money as possible. At least another 200 million yen. Otherwise, I will lose too much."

After looking at each other for a while, the two people finally held hands again.

In their hearts, they were once again filled with the belief of pursuing wealth at all costs.
