Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Is Nomura's stock going up?

Seeing Sumitomo's vow, Kitagawa's expression was stunned again.

"Sumitomo-san, you didn't believe the crazy words of that goddess just now, did you?"

As a financial practitioner, Beichuan Yang is an absolute materialist.

Deciding which stocks to buy by praying to the gods? Are you kidding me?

Rather than doing this, it would be more reliable for several financial institutions to sit together and conspire to be long on a certain stock.

Faced with his surprise, Sumitomo smiled nonchalantly.

"Beichuan-san, the real name of the mother-in-law sitting outside is Ogami Sei. She graduated from a private high school and was a barmaid.

However, the magic is which stock she points to, which stock will skyrocket the next day.

There are rumors in the outside world that Onoe Goddess can communicate with gods and receive oracles from toads.

Because of her far-reaching reputation, many presidents of banks and executives of credit unions came here to become her guests.

Over time, such gatherings have been respectfully called "sewing gatherings" by people in the industry. "

As he finished speaking, Beichuan Yang, who was sitting opposite him, looked even more incredible.

"Sumitomo-san, this...isn't this ridiculous?"

Although there are various legends to support it, Kitagawa Yo still has great doubts about the so-called Onoe Goddess.

If you graduated from a private higher education school in the 1920s or 1930s, wouldn’t that be a primary school?

Can a woman who graduated from elementary school understand the changes in the stock market better than CEO Sang who specializes in the financial industry?

Seeing Kitagawa Yo's frown, Sumitomo laughed again.

"Beichuan-san, you want to ask me if I believe the prophecy made by Ogami Goddess just now. To be honest, I believe it too."

Kitagawa's eyes widened, as if he had re-recognized Sumitomo.

However, the latter didn't take it seriously and explained it unhurriedly.

"But if Kitagawa-san understands the details, you won't be surprised."

"Sumitomo-san...?" Bei Chuanyang became more vague.

"Does Beichuan know how much money those people sitting outside can use?"

Sumitomo looked at the fanatical atmosphere in the hall outside the box, his eyes blurred.

“The heads of these banks and the heads of credit unions will definitely spend huge sums of money to buy Nomura Securities stocks tomorrow.

Any one of them can decide where billions or tens of billions of yen will go.

I would like to ask Kitagawa-san, these people add up to hundreds of billions or even trillions of yen and pour into the stock market in a targeted manner. How come Nomura Securities’ stock does not rise? "

Sumitomo's explanation made Kitagawa look astonished, and at the same time he was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

So is it the oracle of Ogami Goddess that is efficacious, or is it the amazing financial resources of these guests?

And how did the reputation of Ogami Goddess spread in the first place?

At that time, there was no guest like us now, following her in the stock market, right?

“The time when Ogami’s reputation really spread was on the eve of the Plaza Accord.”

As if he knew what Kitagawa Yo was thinking, Sumitomo added again.

After hearing the words "Plaza Accord", the mystery in Kitagawa's heart was finally solved.

On the eve of the Plaza Accord, Ogami once swore to the drinkers here that certain stocks would rise.

After that, if things went as Ogami said, several stocks she pointed out did rise significantly.

In fact, due to the appreciation of the yen at that time, Neon's stock market had already risen in response.

However, the Neon people are inherently superstitious, and Onoue claimed that he had been inspired by the gods.

So her behavior really frightened some people.

Then people who were still doubtful asked her to predict a wave of stock market again.

There was no ambiguity at the end, and I mentioned a few stocks casually, and the stocks rose without exception the next day.

Once is a coincidence, but twice can't be a coincidence, right?

With this mentality, more and more people came to "Eikawa" Izakaya to ask for advice on which stock to buy.

Taking advantage of the appreciation of the yen and the collective rise of the neon stock market, Ogami's words are sure to hit the mark.

As a result, more and more people came here admiringly, and those who consulted the oracle for instructions from Ogami are no longer ordinary drinkers, but now the president of the company, Sang and senior executives.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ogami knew how to package herself. She renovated the izakaya and set aside a unique platform for her to meditate.

At the same time, she no longer predicted stocks casually, but found a golden toad statue to serve as a medium to communicate with the gods.

And Onagami changed the daily meeting to once a week and refused to disclose inside information.

Simply put, this set of gameplay is to increase the sense of ritual and raise the threshold for entry here.

With these changes, the presidents became more convinced of Ogami. At this time, there were even some managers of Industrial Bank sitting outside.

As the quality of the guests gets higher and higher, every time Ogami makes a prediction, there will be a large amount of money to own the stock market the next day.

Therefore, even stocks that would not rise in the first place will suddenly go wild because of such a collective charge.

This is the so-called oracle of Onoe Goddess. Is it ironic or magical?

The emperor's new clothes seem to be showing signs of turning into reality thanks to the praise of many fans.

After listening to Sumitomo's explanation, Kitagawa Hiroshi understood it and was a little curious at the same time.

"Sumitomo-san, since you understand these things, why are you still..." Kitagawa Yo looked at the extremely magical side outside the box and was a little confused.

Sumitomo chuckled lightly, "Kitagawa-san, do you feel a special power here?"

"Special power?"

"Yes, that is the power of money, or the desire for wealth."

Sumitomo turned his gaze to the outside, with a look of fascination in his eyes.

"The power of desire is really powerful. Isn't it incredible that a banker who has always been rational and calm can become a believer of an old woman who graduated from elementary school?

What’s even more incredible is that under this illusion, Onoe Goddess herself can use funds as high as nearly one trillion yen. "

"How much?" Beichuan Yang stood up in shock.

"One trillion yen~" Sumitomo smiled happily.

"She...where did she get so much money?" Beichuan Yang was dumbfounded.

"Loan" Sumitomo slightly spit out a word.

Seeing that Kitagawa was still a little confused, Sumitomo explained again.

“These loans come from major banks, Fuji, Bond Credit Bank, Kakumaru Securities, and Yamaichi Securities.

Oh, by the way, Osaka's Industrial Bank also loaned her tens of billions of yen.

Well, there were employees of Osaka Industrial Bank outside the box, and they even rushed to clean Onoe Goddess. "

If Beichuan Yang's expression just now was one of shock, then now it was one of embarrassment and anger.

As a general manager of Industrial Bank, he didn't know that his colleagues here in Kansai were so bold as to lend tens of billions of yen to an old woman.

What's even more embarrassing is that they have become guests here and rush to clean others?

Industrial Bank's face is almost completely humiliated by them!

Huh~, the angry Bei Chuanyang stood up subconsciously and wanted to walk out the door.

"Kitagawa-san~"

As soon as Kitagawa Yo walked to the door, Sumitomo's voice came from behind him.

Sumitomo, who was holding the wine glass, took a sip of sake, and then spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your inquiry regarding Fuji Heavy Industries. However, Sumitomo has no plans to hold shares for the time being. Please forgive me."

Beichuan Yang, who was standing at the door, opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, seeing Sumitomo's indifferent expression, Kitagawa Yo bowed slightly and left the box.

After a while, there was another noise in the hall outside, accompanied by several quarrels.

Sumitomo smiled disdainfully, the people at Industrial Bank are really a bunch of idiots.

He can even pray to the gods and buy stocks according to the oracles, which is really unworthy of his background as a state-owned bank.

With a messy and bizarre management model like Credit Industry Bank, do you still want to persuade Sumitomo to grab food from the Fuji Foundation?

Although Sumitomo Bank and Fuji Bank are at loggerheads, this does not mean that the Sumitomo Zaibatsu will have a large-scale feud with the Fuji Group.

Competition between large consortiums has always been restrained and cautious, and marketing techniques and business promotion methods can compete fiercely with each other.

But if the Sumitomo Zaibatsu acquires Fuji Heavy Industries on the basis of competition with each other's banks, it will mean an escalation of the conflict.

This is not only inconsistent with Sumitomo's expectations, but Sumitomo will also receive a warning from Keidanren.

His Sumitomo Affairs Bureau would not do anything that broke the rules.

Besides, Sumitomo is currently seeking a controlling stake in Mazda, compared with Fuji Heavy Industries. Undoubtedly, Mazda's vast sales and brand awareness make it more worthy for Sumitomo to invest resources.

Although Fuji Heavy Industries has a good reputation, it is still too niche after all.

The annual sales volume in the global market is less than 800,000 units, which is several times lower than Toyota and Nissan.

Even if the Sumitomo Zaibatsu wanted to expand into the automobile industry, it would not choose a niche brand like Fuji Heavy Industries.

Toyota, Nissan, and Honda already have their own brands, so if you settle for second best, Mazda is the best choice.

In addition, when Mazda first encountered a business crisis in the 1970s, Sumitomo Bank provided strong support.

At that time, the Sumitomo Zaibatsu took advantage of the opportunity and actually held part of Mazda's shares.

However, due to its small shareholding ratio, Sumitomo does not have a dominant position.

Therefore, as Mazda once again implemented its expansion policy in the past two years, Sumitomo Bank once again fully supported Mazda.

All these actions are aimed at seeking to complete control of Mazda.

Therefore, faced with the offer of Fuji Heavy Industries, Sumitomo declined the invitation from Kitagawa Hiroshi after careful consideration.

After drinking two more glasses of sake alone, Sumitomo straightened the hem of his suit, then stood up and left the box calmly.

"Sumitomo-san, remember to come again next time~" Ogami's attentive voice came from far behind.

Sumitomo waved his hand without looking back, got in the car and left.

He didn't come to Egawa Restaurant just to ask the oracle for instructions from the so-called Onoe Goddess.

He just wanted to sit quietly in the box and watch a large group of so-called big shots showing their ugly faces outside driven by desire.

Whenever he sees that crazy scene, Sumitomo reminds himself in his heart.

See, once you lose your mind in the face of desire.

Those so-called big shots, those who are praised by the world as resourceful people, will become prisoners of desire.

Sumitomo, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed and concentrating, had a slight smile on his lips, and he didn't know how long this madness would last.

In fact, there was another thing he didn't tell Kitagawa Hiroshi. Sumitomo Bank also provided a loan of several billion yen to Ogami.

But the premise is that Ogami bought tens of billions of yen in securities of Sumitomo Bank.

The world is so ignorant, full of delusion~
