In the 1980s, although it was still called "the dawn before the birth of mobile phones".
However, Japan, as the most developed and affluent country in Asia, has popularized 1G mobile signal networks throughout the country as early as 1984.
At first, this kind of mobile signal network could only be used for car phones, but in 1985, Motorola also launched the DynaTAC8000X mobile phone in Japan.
The Japanese mobile phone call method began to break away from the previous single and bulky car-style portable phone model, thus gaining liberation.
Even the price of 590,000 yen per unit has not deterred those Japanese people with huge pockets.
In comparison, Motorola has just settled in the mainland of the Republic this year and is preparing to carry out preliminary mobile phone services such as establishing base stations.
It can be said that the Japanese enjoyed this convenience in making phone calls several years earlier than our Chinese.
Especially this year, with the rise of the Japanese stock market and property market, the business and related sales of this kind of telephone have also skyrocketed. More and more Japanese people have realized the convenience of this convenient calling tool in speculative transactions.
Many senior managers in the financial industry have received gifts from their companies and become the owners of such mobile phones.
Subsequently, this kind of thing has also become a best-selling popular gift, and is listed on the list of high-end gifts for various companies and major customers.
For example, during the wedding of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko, as well as the arrival of the Ghost Festival, they received several such mobile phone gifts.
So even though they didn't pay a penny, they themselves became mobile phone users.
Matsumoto Keiko's parents, Matsumoto Keiko's two key subordinates, Watanabe Mitsuru and Okamoto Akira, and Kagawa Rinko, who took care of the Ebuntang Bookstore for Ning Weimin, also took a step towards more convenient communication.
era.
Although this mobile phone weighs one kilogram, it is not very convenient to carry.
Even though it takes up to ten hours to fully charge the battery, continuous calls can only last half an hour.
But its benefits are also obvious.
With this thing, the distance between important people has really shortened.
Especially when both parties have mobile phones, there is almost no need to worry about calling but not being able to find someone.
The place where you can call has also broken through the restrictions. As long as you have the phone in hand, you can send messages and contact people anytime and anywhere.
Just like now, even though it was already eleven o'clock in the night, Ning Weimin dialed the mobile phone number of his stockbroker, and soon there was an echo on the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I am Kenichi Sagawa from Nomura Securities. Who are you?"
The tone was very solemn, which is not surprising.
Because no matter how stupid you are, you know that anyone who can call this number to find him is an important customer.
“Section Chief Sagawa, excuse me, I’m Ning Weimin.”
"President Ning? You are too polite. Please don't call me Section Chief. Just call me Sagawa. What are your orders? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Okay, Sagawa-kun, I would like to have an overview of the recent market value of the stocks under my name. Also, how is the overall market situation in the past two months? Can you tell me about it?"
"Okay, I follow your account every day. Let me take a look at my notebook... Oh, that's right, as of today's close, the total market value of the stocks held under your name is about 37.2 billion yen.
When you left Japan two months ago, it had risen by about 15%. The market situation was pretty good, and the Nikkei Index had been rising steadily during this period. If it hadn't been for NTT's profit-taking due to the excessive increase.
, it has fallen all the way from a high of 3.18 million yen, down 35%. In addition, the 'Toshiba incident' led to US sanctions and triggered an overall decline in the machinery manufacturing industry sector. Originally, these two
The market situation should be even better this month. Especially Yamaichi Securities in your stock, because of its heavy holdings of NTT and Toshiba stocks, it was also implicated, causing a 20% drop in market value. But fortunately, apart from this stock,
, your other stocks are not very relevant. I think if you continue to hold it, it will not be affected much. Thinking about it from another perspective, I suggest that you consider buying some Shanyi Securities while the price is low. After all, this kind of loss is huge.
The negative news has been fully released during this period, and there is little room for further decline. As long as the market continues to maintain a good condition, the stock price of Shanyi Securities can easily rise again..."
Kenichi Sagawa's tone when reporting the situation was filled with positive emotions.
Ning Weimin actually knew what he was expecting in being so excited.
After all, when he asked Sagawa to reduce his position and took nearly 40 billion yen from the stock market two months ago, he also told Sagawa that he would increase his capital and position when the price was right.
But he knew better that what lay ahead was "Black Monday," a world-class stock market crash.
Before this thing actually happens, he will never throw money into the stock market even if he kills himself.
So no matter what, Sagawa Kenichi is destined to be disappointed this time.
However, he had to admit that he was a bit lucky.
Originally, in order not to arouse suspicion, he had to leave 30% of the stocks in his account, allowing disaster to strike regardless of rain or wind.
He also almost concluded that certain financial sacrifices were inevitable.
However, due to an accident, he met Yoshimo and his son at the Chixia Club and negotiated a new loan amount.
Instead, he had an excuse to further reduce his position in the stock market, so he could avoid risks openly and use his strength to sell some stocks. No one could find fault with him.
If everything is done here and there, he can earn tens of billions more yen, and he may be able to earn back the US$500 million invested in France.
"No, no, Sagawa-kun, I don't want to increase my position, but I plan to sell some profitable stocks when the market opens tomorrow morning. I agree with the suggestion you just gave me, and I won't sell the stocks of Yamaichi Securities for now. As for the other
Stocks... you can help me sell half of them, and see if you can help me transfer at least 15 billion yen as soon as possible. I can give you a week."
Ning Weimin's voice was strong and powerful, without any hesitation.
As a result, Kenichi Sagawa on the other end of the phone was shocked by these words.
He didn't expect Ning Weimin to give such an instruction at all, and was afraid that the boss had drunk too much or was high on drugs.
After all, Japanese society has been having a lot of carnivals recently, and some high-end customers will indeed go crazy due to excessive indulgence when they are not sober, and there are many people who order random orders.
And once the stockbroker follows the instructions without making any distinction, and then waits for the other party to wake up and deny the matter the next day, the stockbroker will be in big trouble.
So he couldn't care less about his appearance and had to ask directly.
"President Ning, are you really sure that you want to sell the 15 billion yen worth of stocks in your name? If you do this, you will only have about 20 billion yen of stocks left. With all due respect, if
If you don't mind, can you tell me why you did this? And what is the use of this fund? After all, you just withdrew a huge amount of funds from the stock market not long ago. My boss has come to me many times about this matter
He needs to be held accountable... He thinks it was my incompetence that led you to withdraw the funds. If you sell so many stocks again this time, I'm afraid he will be more prejudiced against me and will definitely not believe my words anymore.
, so I need...need..."
From these hurried words and his somewhat disordered breathing, Ning Weimin could tell that Sagawa Kenichi was completely in a mess due to his anxiety.
The other party's tone was full of pleading, and the subtext was undoubtedly hoping that he would reconsider.
To be honest, if he puts himself in his shoes, he really feels that Sagawa Kenichi is a bit pitiful.
After all, every stockbroker has performance indicators. If he withdraws his money, Sagawa's situation will definitely not be good.
To put it bluntly, Sagawa Kenichi's role is that of a company's sales manager. His performance is guaranteed to become the top sales. He can live a comfortable life in a securities company and even do whatever he wants.
However, if the performance declines and does not meet the boss's expectations, then the salary will immediately drop, and there will be no favors at all.
But having said that, financial companies are not like this, recognizing money but not people.
Ken Sagawa should have known this the day he entered the industry.
What's more, no matter how pitiful he is, he is not his own son. Just to make his life easier, he has to give up interests worth tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.
So there is nothing you can do, you have to do whatever you have to do, there is nothing to say.
"Sagawa, I buy stocks just to make money. Only by buying and selling can I make money. Are there stocks in the world that can only be bought but not sold? If I can only buy but not sell, then what is the use of buying stocks? I am now
When you need money, isn’t it normal to sell stocks to cash out? Do you think so?”
Ning Weimin's name for Sachuan changed, and his tone faintly revealed his dissatisfaction. Sachuan on the opposite side immediately felt the pressure. He was no longer simply anxious, but added a lot of embarrassment and fear to his anxiety.
"I'm sorry, President Ning, I...I didn't mean that...just...just..."
Ning Weimin then slowed down and explained his needs in a relatively soft manner.
"Okay, no need to explain. I understand your difficulty. You have always done your best for me, and I know it. So if you insist on a reason, then I can tell you a little bit about my situation. I will give you this money."
It is used to exchange for more money so as to expand my business territory. You know that I am the operator of Tan Gong Restaurant, right? But you still don’t know that the business premises of Tan Gong Restaurant belong to me personally. And apart from the restaurant,
In addition, I also own a three-story building in Ginza. Now, due to the increase in housing prices, these two real estate properties are probably worth almost 40 billion yen. If I want to find a bank loan, I can get a loan of almost 30 billion yen.
But I had already mortgaged these two properties to a bank at a lower price. Now if I want to obtain 30 billion in funds for business, I must first redeem the houses and then re-mortgage them. Think again.
Think about it, I don’t sell stocks. How can I double the value of my stocks in the short term? There is no such way. It will definitely not work by relying on the natural rise of the market. And to say the least, even if I get 30 billion yen,
Without investing, it would be more cost-effective to use this money to speculate in stocks. If I want to get 30 billion yen to buy stocks, and then enter the market and add leverage, it will be at least 50 billion in capital increase. That will definitely be better than what I am doing now, without selling stocks.
.It would be much better to simply raise 15 billion yen from your company based on the market value of the account, right? So there is no other way, since major interests are involved. This is what I can do. I hope you can do as I say."
"It turns out that you also own real estate in Ginza. You want to sell the stocks to redeem the real estate first and then refinance the loan. In this case, it is really a huge amount of money. Now, I can understand it. But
It's just that... the current performance indicators of our sales department are very harsh. I'm afraid that my boss will be unhappy with this matter. He may even intervene and obstruct it because of his strong dissatisfaction. I have to say that it is still a bit difficult for a securities company to freeze a customer's account.
There's a way. If that's the case, if any unexpected situation occurs that I can't control, your transaction will also suffer problems. It will still delay your plan..."
Sagawa Kenichi's tone has obviously softened, as an agent who is completely dependent on Ning Weimin.
After Ning Weimin's rational and evidence-based rubbing, he was completely compliant.
It seems that the only thing I worry about right now is that my boss will make things difficult for me and set up obstacles.
Ning Weimin quickly gave him reassurance.
"Sagawa-kun, we have always had a tacit understanding since we met. I am very satisfied with the service you have provided me and I trust you. It can be said that I have identified you as a person when it comes to stock trading.
If you want, I can always entrust you with my stock assets. But if, as you said, you are faced with obstacles set by your boss when you sell stocks for me, then I don’t think I will give up.
.I will no longer put money in the hands of Nomura Securities. And for you, it may be time for you to make a major choice. If you are fired for carrying out my orders, I will not do anything else.
There is no guarantee, but I can guarantee that wherever you go, the remaining funds of mine will follow you. If you cannot be employed in a securities company because of protecting my rights and interests, then you will come to work for me. I just need a financial consultant.
Or in the role of an assistant, I can completely guarantee that your income will be more than you are now. If everything goes well and no one deliberately targets us, then after a while, I will increase my investment in stocks again. At that time,
They will still value you. So, you have nothing to worry about. How to deal with this matter depends on you. You might as well ask yourself, in your heart, is the company more important than your boss?
What is more important, or customers like me? What is more worthy of your trust? The company you work for, your boss, or me as a customer?"
Ning Weimin's words were so sincere both emotionally and rationally, and they spoke to Sagawa Kenichi's heart.
Also, if he doesn’t count on customers, what else can he count on?
He was silent for a moment, and it was not difficult to make a decision.
"President Ning, I know what to do. Please rest assured. I will try my best to complete your order."
Ning Weimin's tone was extremely pleased.
"Okay, if someone makes things difficult for you and hinders us, you can call me at any time and I will personally negotiate with you."
Just like that, the call ended, and the people on both ends of the phone heaved a sigh of relief.
Kenichi Sagawa certainly knows that customers are everything, and an agent without customers has no value at all.
President Ning is not like a person who would break his promise. What should he be afraid of? Bad days are only temporary and he can get through them no matter what.
What's more, even if he follows Ning Weimin's instructions, he still has 20 billion yen in his account.
With this asset as a guarantee, no matter how dissatisfied the company is, it will never be able to fire him.
Thinking on the bright side, if he sells 15 billion yen, he will also get a lot of commission.
What to do, why not do it?
Ning Weimin, on the other hand, felt that he was truly at ease.
Not only himself, but also people close to him, Matsumoto Keiko, father-in-law, Jiang Nianyun, Shen Cun, Master, Axia, the Kagawa sisters, Mr. Taniguchi, Ishida Ryoko...
He gave advice to everyone he could and advised everyone to avoid investment risks, and many people followed his advice.
He is definitely worthy of his conscience.
If an emergency occurs, some of these people should not be in agony.
Judging from what he just said to Sagawa, it was not entirely a lie.
Although the real reason for the sell-off was not stated, raising a Sagawa was effortless for him.
The important thing is that this guy is really obedient and can handle big and small kings.
This time he cleared another 15 billion yen, plus 30 billion yen in loans.
If you escape the stock market crash and use it to hunt for bargains, there is no suspense about making big money again.
But only an obedient stockbroker can ensure that he is safe.
