In a small disco in Roppongi, hundreds of employees of Nomura Securities Chuo District Sales Department were partying to celebrate the sales department's second place in the mid-year performance growth evaluation.
Of course, this also indicates that the upcoming half-year bonus will be exaggerated to a level that makes people shout "Long live".
Therefore, almost everyone in the venue was unreservedly intoxicated, enjoying the pleasure of feasting and feasting under the flowing light of the lifting light ball and the strong European beat electronic music!
A middle-aged gentleman who looked very gentle off the court was obviously drunk.
Even though he was not on the dance floor, he suddenly wrapped his tie around his head, stood on a chair, and shouted to his colleagues in the field, "Do it! Do it! What does the Port Sales Department mean? We in the Central District will definitely win the title in the second half of the year."
Get first place!”
Then he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in his hand.
But other people, whether they were on the dance floor or not, not only did not stop him, but instead responded in groups.
"One more drink! Quick! One more drink!"
"Give him a bottle! Give him a whole bottle!"
"Director Sasaki, you are so manly! Long live the Chuo District Sales Department!"
Countless people shouted with deliberate incitement, and a waiter immediately filled his wine glass.
The dancers in charge of the store, as well as the ladyboys, clapped their hands in unison to enhance the atmosphere.
This man named Sasaki drank glass after glass of wine like water. That was a bottle of French red wine worth up to 30,000 yen!
Not to mention, a guest on the dance floor drank too much and suddenly grabbed a Thai ladyboy next to him.
In order to see the "secret" of the shemale's body, he screamed like crazy and tore the short skirt of the shemale with great force until the skirt was torn.
Although the ladyboy's face changed color with fear and many waiters intervened.
But because it was a special reserved venue, Nomura Securities's sign should not be underestimated, and the man was still a business backbone, so he casually took out several "big fortune cards" as compensation and gave them to the ladyboy.
Not only did this incident go away quickly, but it also inspired more enthusiastic laughter on the dance floor, making the carnival atmosphere even stronger.
This little twist and turn even became a joke for Kanji Goto, general manager of the Central District Sales Department, who was sitting in the audience and surrounded by many grassroots cadres.
He didn't take it seriously but laughed heartily, drinking and celebrating with all his capable men.
I have to say that practitioners in the securities industry in any country are virtuous.
The work is stressful but the profits it can create are also high.
Therefore, it is completely normal to develop severe dependence symptoms on alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, and shopping.
What's more, in this day and age, even civilians cannot avoid becoming like this.
So from Goto's point of view, as long as his subordinates don't act recklessly at work, as long as they don't cause legal trouble.
No matter what these people are willing to do, everything is understandable and acceptable.
To be honest, on the contrary, he looked down on those employees who followed the rules and had no ambition or desire.
Because without these, there will be a lack of motivation to work.
Take Kenichi Sagawa, the newly promoted section chief of the second sales department business section.
This guy has no other hobbies except smoking and drinking.
The business aspect has always been satisfactory, and compared to the employees in the same period, it is not that outstanding.
But in the past he at least tried hard.
Kanji Goto still remembers that when he was the head of the sales department of the central sales department, it was also when Kenichi Sagawa had just graduated and came to work in the sales department. It seemed to be Showa 47 (1972).
At that time, Sagawa graduated from college in his senior year. He was lively and energetic. He easily believed in the "dream" promoted by the company and devoted himself enthusiastically to the frontline sales work of the sales department.
You know, Nomura Securities recruits more than 200 new employees every year, and most of them will leave sadly after suffering the taste of disillusionment.
And Sagawa is one of the few people who can persevere through continuous efforts to increase sales performance.
But as he gets older, this guy's enthusiasm for work becomes less and less.
Until now, he has even become a subordinate who is doing nothing but doing nothing.
During the daily business hours, there is neither enthusiasm for developing customers nor much concern for the work of selling bonds allocated from above.
Every day I just come to the company to clock in as a routine, attend meetings, read newspapers, and complete my assigned work.
Others arrive at the company at 7 a.m. and cannot go home until 11 or 12 p.m.
But he didn't know when he started to leave before five o'clock every afternoon, laughing, and got off work on time even more than he, the general manager.
Because he left too early, he naturally lacked time for private communication with his colleagues. He didn't even participate in drinking together. He was completely separate from the entire Central District Sales Department.
Logically speaking, in fact, a guy like Sagawa, who is just waiting to die and work to catch fish, has no chance to take advantage of the situation in today's environment where work performance indicators and data are completely controlled by computers.
Because according to the unwritten rules in the company, the older the employee, the heavier the burden he carries on his shoulders.
If his performance really declines day by day and his performance is surpassed by his juniors, even if he is already a senior employee, he will never reap the rewards.
Either they were sent away after experiencing the loss of their dignity, or they were whipped hard by their superiors like an ox or a horse, forcing them to work hard for performance.
But the problem is, I don't know what luck Sagawa had, but he actually firmly grasped a large client who was called an investment expert.
He is obviously a Chinese from the third world, and his start-up capital is only a few hundred million yen, and the follow-up capital is only a few billion yen.
However, by relying on full financing leverage and an investment strategy with almost no major mistakes, it has grown to hundreds of billions of capital in just two years, becoming the most funded individual client of the Central District Sales Department.
the first person.
Even the third generation of the Toyota family, the heir to the Nishiro Group, and Harunori Takahashi, an investment celebrity in the real estate industry, were outclassed by this guy.
Who dares to believe this?
It can be called a legend in the investment world.
So this guy Kenichi Sagawa has made enough money. He has such a customer, which is equivalent to ten thousand ordinary customers.
Not only does he have a basic monthly performance guarantee that can be easily accomplished.
From now on, you can be lazy openly and enjoy the leisure of completing your goals easily.
Furthermore, the sales department had to reward and promote Sagawa based on the quality of customers and the principle of promotion, and based on his merit, he would be given the treatment of a section chief.
Of course this is what should be done, but the problem is that Sagawa is too unprogressive.
Obviously, with such good quality customers, there is huge economic potential to be tapped.
As long as he persuades customers to do more transactions or buy more bonds and trust products, he can create more income for the sales department.
But he actually did nothing. Sometimes, the customer's account went silent without any transactions for a month or two.
As a result, the only fixed income the sales department can obtain every month is the interest on financing provided to customers.
Even the boss's reminders and hints were ignored, pretending to be stupid.
??????55.??????
Isn't this a waste of high-quality resources and watching a large amount of gold and silver slip away from one's hands?
Especially recently, during the semi-annual performance evaluation, the Chuo District Sales Department led by Kanji Goto was once again surpassed by the Minato District Sales Department with a slight advantage.
Therefore, for Goto Kanji, who had long wanted to be promoted to the deputy head of the headquarters based on his merits, this was really a bit irritating to him, and he really wanted to beat up this unsatisfactory Sagawa.
It was obvious that Sagawa was a fool who had forgotten his duties and responsibilities, wasting the opportunity given by God to make a fortune, and could not tell the difference between a big king and a big king.
He only focused on satisfying customers and forgot about the interests of Nomura Securities and the sales department.
Otherwise, if he is willing to work hard, this performance gap can be easily made up for.
It can be said that the entire sales department was defeated by Sagawa's failure this time.
So at this time, I had long been dissatisfied with Goto Kanji, and finally couldn't help but use the excuse to make use of the wine.
"Everyone, at yesterday's meeting, I analyzed the current situation facing our sales department. This time, the performance gap between us and the port sales department is only 7 to 8 billion yen, which averages to a little more than 100 million yen per month.
Well, it can be said that it is a pity that we lost. If we work harder, maybe in the first half of this year, our Tokyo Chuo-ku sales department will be able to firmly occupy the position of the best sales department! Not just the runner-up. In the second half of this year
, everyone should work harder! Strive to realize our common dream!"
Kanji Kanji glanced at everyone, his tone was sincere, and he sounded like a good, serious and responsible leader.
As expected, his words were widely echoed. In Japan during this period, migrant workers were as enthusiastic as if they had been pumped full of chicken blood, and they often used the astonishing slogan of "The company is the best in the world, aiming to make hundreds of billions of profits."
Especially for sectors like the securities industry where performance has skyrocketed, and because of the skyrocketing bonuses in the entire industry, these employees have turned into subhuman economic animals.
"The general manager is right. We are just a little behind Minato. It's such a pity to lose. In the second half of the year, we must work harder. We have decided in class two that we will work overtime until our brains change."
Even if it has become a paste, we must find a way to increase the performance by another 80 million yuan per month on top of the original basic performance requirements..."
"Asshole, if our first class is here, where will your second class be? Eighty million yen is nothing. We want to increase it by one hundred million..."
"General Manager, our investment department might as well exaggerate a little bit. We will definitely double the scale of our self-operated investment in the second half of the year! Profits will increase by at least 20%..."
"Don't worry, general manager, we will definitely obey your command and follow your arrangements. This is a battle we cannot lose. Whether we can get the attention of the top, as well as everyone's bonuses and futures all depend on this..."
However, despite united efforts and grassroots cadres expressing their opinions, Goto Kanji still felt dissatisfied and unhappy.
If nothing else, it’s because Kenichi Sagawa, the head of the third section of the sales department, still behaves so incompetently.
He just stood up and chimed in a few words. He looked really lacking in energy and had no intention of dedicating himself to it.
In his opinion, this guy has reached the point where he must be given strong medicine to make him full of fighting spirit and work hard for him!
"Okay, okay! You must remember that there is a stage for you to display your talents. As long as you have the ability, becoming the youngest managing director of the company is not a dream! Young people like you here who are willing to work hard and eager to fully display their talents
People are exactly what we at Nomura Securities are looking for!"
So even though Kanji Goto spoke words of encouragement to the subordinates surrounding him, he was actually criticizing him.
And immediately after that, he tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze to Sagawa Kenichi.
"Sagawa-kun, what's your attitude here? What's your attitude in the third class? I didn't seem to see your work enthusiasm just now! You are an old employee. Hiroo in the second class is still your junior. Your courage is always
You won’t be compared to the younger generation, right?”
"I will try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the general manager, but to be honest, it will be difficult for our three classes to achieve performance growth in the second half of the year." Kenichi Sagawa answered truthfully.
"Why? Section Chief Sagawa, are you kidding?"
Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, I still haven't gotten the desired statement.
Now Kanji Goto was really angry at Kenichi Sagawa who was showing off.
In his opinion, this was simply Sagawa Kenichi blatantly flouting the authority of his boss and deliberately speaking against him, so he asked angrily and loudly.
However, Sagawa's answer was very reasonable, which not only surprised him, but also shocked him.
"Sorry, general manager, but my client, President Ning, has given me an order to reduce my position. Not only has he decided to repay all the 27.3 billion financing quota taken from our sales department for stock trading, but he has also proposed
38 billion yen in funds!”
"What? Thirty-eight billion? Are you right?"
"How could I hear it wrong?" Kenichi Sagawa said, "President Ning and I met face to face. His order was very clear, and he told me to handle it as soon as possible!"
This was great all of a sudden. Not only did General Manager Goto Kanji stand up, but other people also became calm.
Everyone knows the impact that the sales department's largest customer will reduce its position by more than 60 billion yen on the performance of the second half of the year.
Including interest, it's several hundred million yen. This is simply bad news that makes people completely desperate.
"Director Sagawa, how do you protect your customers? We all work so hard, but instead of adding support to our common goal, are you going to hold us all back? Over 60 billion yen, the sales department suddenly lost so much
How much impact will operating with more funds have on performance? Do you think we, even if we continue to work overtime, can make up for such a huge performance loss and defeat the port sales department?"
Without even waiting for Kanji Goto to express his stance, Hiroo, the principal of the second class, slammed the table to express his dissatisfaction.
"Isn't there anyone who doesn't know how good the current stock market is? As long as you put money in, you can make a fortune easily. Having said that, President Ning is not so stupid, right? With such a good market, it's so easy
You don't even make the easy money? Sagawa, what are you doing! How did you offend this first customer?" The head of the first class accused Sagawa based on pure speculation.
"Why don't we freeze his funds? As long as we make up some procedural problems, we can keep his funds in the account. It's not like we haven't done this before. Those Hong Kong investors, some stocks have been
We have frozen it..." The head of the investment department was having a bad idea.
"But this money is too big. It's so big that it will cause a sensation in the industry! What will happen to our reputation at Nomura Securities? What's more, President Ning is not an ordinary person. No one really knows how complicated his background is. But as far as I know
Not only does he have extensive cooperation with Credit Suez Bank, but he is now getting closer and closer to people at Sumitomo Bank headquarters. Even Yamaichi Securities has been wooing him. You would not think that he has such connections in the Japanese financial industry
Like those people far away in Hong Kong City, he will swallow his anger and be helpless. If he really does this, we will definitely turn against President Ning."
Kenichi Sagawa was quite calm, and he finally won the approval of Kanji Goto after he argued with reason.
"Don't talk nonsense, this can't be done. If a customer wants to withdraw funds, as long as he has it in his account and it doesn't involve trading operations... there is no good reason to refuse."
