897, You don’t know anything... What are you doing as an investment manager?!
Naoki Nagayama has been to New York several times.
When I came here this time, I called the apartment management company in advance and asked someone to tidy up the house I bought in New York so that I could settle down.
"...Sure enough, the house can't stay empty for long!"
Nagayama Naoki inspected the apartment he bought a few years ago. Even though it had been cleaned by someone, he still had a special feeling that it lacked popularity~
It is said that if a house is left empty for a long time, some strange things will breed...
With this idea in mind, Naoki Nagayama checked it out before sitting on the sofa. The retro furniture was still very beautiful, and there was Central Park outside the window...
At least the location is very advantageous~
"Dingling bell~"
While Naoki Nagayama was resting, the phone in the apartment rang...
Someone else called from New York?! Naoki Nagayama picked up the phone in surprise:
"hello?"
"Naoki-san?" Nakai Wonta's voice came from the phone, "We've arrived in New York! Is the journey going well?"
"Ah, Won Tai-san...I thought it was who it was~" Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah, I just arrived...he came right after getting off the plane~"
"That's good, how about the apartment?"
Wonta Nakai bought this apartment with his help, but he hasn't been here for several years.
"It's well preserved...but I think someone will need to clean it every week in the future...otherwise it will lack popularity..." Naoki Nagayama said.
"Haha, whatever you want~"
After Wonta Nakai continued to ask about the previous situation in Philadelphia, he got to the topic of today.
"Naoki-san, it's 9 o'clock in the morning in New York, and it's almost 10 o'clock in the evening in Tokyo..." Wanda Nakai said, "Do you need to start meeting with the investment managers today? I can let them go now.
..."
"Okay, let them come to the office in the afternoon~"
"Okay..." Nakai Wonta said, "I will send the schedule to the fax machine in the office."
"Hmm~"
After hanging up the phone, Nagayama Naoki sighed. It was really hard to get ready to go to work as soon as he got off the plane... However, the main reason for him coming to New York was to get it done early and finish it early.
"At this time... Akina should still be on the plane?"
After separating from Philadelphia, Akina Nakamori got on the plane back to Tokyo. She was going back to start preparing for a national tour, while Naoki Nagayama came directly to New York.
After briefly tidying up, Nagayama Naoki came to a business building with the word "rich" in full spirits.
As a global investment institution, Shuyou Investment naturally rents an office in New York and also hires a local employee as a liaison.
After reaching the sixth floor, Naoki Nagayama saw an obvious sign - Shuyou Investment New York Office.
The so-called office also has a front desk, a conference room and an office dedicated to the boss... It is comparable to a small company. After all, when there are investments, Wonta Nakai or others from Tokyo will come to New York.
once.
Meet with clients, sign agreements, etc...
The arrival of Nagayama Naoki made the middle-aged white aunt at the front desk look up. Yes, the liaison officer is a fat white aunt... Little girls and men will definitely not want such a deserted place.
Those with high positions don’t have the patience to sit in an office.
"Hello, what can I do for you..." After seeing Naoki Nagayama's appearance clearly, she stood up immediately, "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, welcome to the New York office."
"Ha, how did you recognize me?" Nagayama Naoki glanced at her curiously, "May I ask what your name is?"
"I'm Susan. The Tokyo headquarters faxed a photo of Mr. Nagayama." Susan opened the office dedicated to her boss with the key and walked inside with Naoki Nagayama.
A simple office, with a large solid wood desk, boss chair, and two chairs for entertaining guests. Behind it is a bookcase for storing information. There are green plants in the corner. The only thing worthy of praise is the window next to it, which can be viewed directly.
Go to Street View.
"What a nice view~" Nagayama Naoki sighed as he stood in front of the window.
"This office is not often occupied, but it was cleaned yesterday..."
"Mr. Yongshan, what would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Water?"
"Well, coffee, thank you~"
Nagayama Naoki said something casually, and then sat on the boss's chair. Next to the desk was a stack of information prepared in advance, which contained the investor's specific information, including reputation in the industry, etc.
Although I have already seen it once in Tokyo before, I still need to deepen my impression at this time.
"Mr. Yongshan, this is your coffee." Susan brought a cup of coffee and handed over a timetable. "This is the list of names just faxed, as well as the meeting time."
"I understand..." Nagayama Naoki nodded towards Susan, "When they come, let them wait in the conference room first..."
"Okay~"
The office door closed, and Nagayama Naoki began to read the information.
........
Aunt Susan returned to her front desk. This was the first time she met the boss of her company. She didn't expect him to be so young.
As the liaison officer, Aunt Susan is not as individual as the employees in American TV series. She does not criticize the boss or make noise, etc. She is just an ordinary employee and a mother of two children.
She still attaches great importance to this leisurely but high-paying job. After all, when she has nothing to do, her time is actually very flexible and she can take care of the family.
"He seems to be very rich... Is this Naoki Nagayama the heir to some kind of consortium?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such thoughts flashed through her head, but Susan still started to work seriously, determining the time according to the list, maintaining order when waiting for people to arrive, etc.
In the afternoon, "financial elites" in suits and ties came to Shuyou Capital's New York liaison office. The large sum of US$100 million was enough to excite all investment managers below the top investment banks.
The investment circle is so big, and almost all the investment managers gathered in the conference room know each other, but everyone is a wolf, and they compete for this fund without mercy.
"I heard that the neon rich man today is very young!"
"Didn't you do your homework? Naoki Nagayama...Neon's famous director, the one who won the Palme d'Or, is also a writer~"
"Of course I know, but...I can't tell the difference between Asians..."
The younger investment managers chatted very frivolously. They have been on Wall Street for a long time and each have a lot of money. Money is too easy for them, and they have a naturally arrogant attitude toward others.
In their eyes, the person sitting in the office seems not to be a person, but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The more prudent investment managers were silently thinking about how to persuade the funder in the office to entrust him with US$100 million to manage.
"Susan~" the phone at the front desk rang, "Let the first one come in~"
"Okay~" After Susan heard this, she got up and went to the conference room, "Alan, you are the first!"
As he spoke, a very young investment manager stood up, combed his suit, and then showed a perfect smile with eight teeth:
"Everyone, the funds this time are mine! Please wait a moment!"
Just like this, the confident guy knocked on the door of the office. He didn't open the door until "Please come in" was heard.
Seeing a young man sitting inside, Allen suddenly felt that this big order was almost certain. The mentality of a mere young man, under his honed words, couldn't be grasped?!
"Hello, I'm Allen from Ross Capital!"
"Hello, I'm Naoki Nagayama..." Naoki Nagayama acted like a capitalist and didn't stand up. He just pointed to the seat in front of the desk and said, "Please sit down~"
"Thank you!" After Allen sat down, he directly showed the confidence of an American investment manager, "Mr. Yongshan, we at Ross Capital have a history of more than ten years and manage more than one billion US dollars in funds. All our clients are very grateful to us."
Full of recognition...."
"I never let my clients judge me by my successes, I let them judge me by my mistakes! Because that doesn't exist!"
"If you entrust your funds to my management, it will definitely be the right decision!"
"...."
Allen's words were full of confidence. It seemed that not giving him the funds this time would be a wrong decision, as if Naoki Nagayama was already convinced.
Looking at the chattering investment manager in front of him, Naoki Nagayama had a scene from a very famous movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" appear in his mind...
The stock managers there are actually no different from the investment managers in these investment banks...
They also use all kinds of promising words to make customers full of expectations and invest money in the capital market... But they themselves earn real commissions~
Allen, who was sitting opposite, talked a lot and felt his mouth was a little dry. But when he looked at the handsome young man opposite, he seemed to be... distracted?!
"Ahem, Mr. Nagayama?"
"Huh? Ah!"
Naoki Nagayama finally came to his senses. He did not expect that his brain would suddenly recall a certain movie... Fortunately, after the upgrade, the meeting did not affect the current affairs.
Allen's face turned a little dark. Someone actually got distracted while he was talking?
So he asked directly:
"Mr. Nagayama, are you willing to let me manage the funds?!"
"Oh, funds..."
Nagayama Naoki calmed down: "Alan... do you have any judgment on the recent international currency market?"
Allen was stunned for a moment. Although his main field is light industry, he also knows about international currencies.
"The U.S. dollar is currently on an uptrend...
Because of the increase in basic interest rates, a large amount of money poured into the United States. In the past five years, the U.S. dollar exchange rate has risen by more than 60%...
In the short term, the U.S. dollar will maintain its strong position..."
"Well....."
Although the analysis of the guy opposite is very reasonable, these are all judgments based on the trends of the international financial market. As for what may happen...
"Did you know that the U.S. Treasury Secretary is visiting other countries?"
"Of course I know!"
Allen was about to continue to show his knowledge when he was interrupted by Naoki Nagayama.
"Do you know what kind of deal they're going to make?"
"this......"
"Have you heard the rumor? The gossip?"
"I heard it is a package plan to stimulate economic development..."
"..."
It seemed that the guy in front of him didn't know... Naoki Nagayama sighed and had no interest in continuing the conversation.
"Alan, thank you for your visit... That's it for today!"
"???!!!"
"Mr. Yongshan!!! We at Ross Capital can definitely make your funds increase by 10% every year!"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head:
"This is not enough..."
"But..." Allen was unwilling to be shut out like this, and suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Mr. Yongshan, can I ask the reason?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because... you know nothing! (You know nothing)..."
You don’t know anything, why are you an investment manager? Why not go home and sell sweet potatoes!
"...."
"Susan, call the next person in!" Naoki Nagayama pressed the phone, gave instructions to the front desk, and then looked at the investment manager in front of him, "Good day, Mr. Allen~"
"you......"
Allen felt that he had encountered the greatest humiliation in his career. He was rejected outright by a neon man!!! And no reason was given!!!
"You will regret this!"
Feeling humiliated, he stood up angrily, then quickly opened the office door and rushed out without looking back~
"Why are you acting like a child..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at this scene in surprise. Did this little pressure break his defense?!
Aren't the investment managers in American TV dramas supposed to roll their eyes, then think of some brilliant idea, and then persevere to persuade their clients?!
At this moment, the next investment manager in a suit and tie walked in, showing a perfect smile with eight teeth:
"Hello, I'm Alex from Mason Capital..."
.........
Susan watched the Wall Street elites walk into the office one by one, and then some walked out with angry faces, while others walked out with confused faces...
But there is one thing in common - each one takes less than three minutes.
"It's faster than going to the toilet..."
The white aunt complained in her heart. She had never seen the Wall Street elites feel so aggrieved.
"Susan, next!"
The phone on the table once again recalled her boss's voice. Susan stood up for the nth time and walked towards the conference room.
"Aldrich, it's your turn!"
Listening to this voice, a meticulous middle-aged man with white temples came out, and then walked into the office like his predecessors...
"Please sit down, I am Naoki Nagayama!"
"Hello, I'm Aldrich..." Aldrich said very simply.
"..." Nagayama Naoki didn't wait for the next words, and was a little surprised, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes..." Aldrich looked sharply at the young man in front of him, "Others should wait until Mr. Nagayama's test is over..."
"oh?"
Nagayama Naoki became curious,
"Interesting... Then please listen to the question: What do you think of the next trend of the international currency market?"
"..."
Aldrich paused and subconsciously looked at the young man across from him. It seemed that he did not expect that he would ask this question. However, because he had a relative who was a think tank of the US government, he knew some unconfirmed news.
...
"The dollar will depreciate...rapidly..."
"Why?" Triggering the keyword, Nagayama Naoki sat up straight.
"Because it's too high now... America's external industrial competitiveness has declined..." Aldrich glanced at Naoki Nagayama, "Even neon can't compete, the trade surplus is too big...
"
Nagayama Naoki smiled:
"This is a long-term trend. What I'm asking is, why is there 'rapid depreciation'?"
Fast is the key word!
Aldrich hesitated for a moment, thinking again about whether to tell the young man in front of him the secret information he had received from his relatives, but... looking at Naoki Nagayama, it seemed like he already knew?!
Take a gamble!
"Because... governments are negotiating an agreement... and it is expected to be released soon!"
"Haha, you really know that too!"
Nagayama Naoki's eyes lit up. Sure enough, someone knew this kind of news!!!
People with inside information, these guys, are the ones who can eat the biggest cake in the capital market!
"Then do you know when it will be announced?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"This... this is top secret information, only the finance ministers of each country know it!" Aldrich said subconsciously.
“End of September!”
Naoki Nagayama talked for a while.
"!!!"
Aldrich was frightened! This is not news that ordinary people can know, and it is so certain!
He looked at Nagayama Naoki's young face at this time, and seemed to see a figure hidden behind it... It was the nobles and aristocratic families of Neon that have lasted for hundreds of years...
Naoki Nagayama continued:
"Then Mr. Aldrich, I leave my funds to you..."
Nagayama Naoki decided on his investment manager in this way, as if he was not worried about losing money at all. After all, knowing the news was equivalent to holding the golden key.
Aldrich needs to gather more funds and build a large capital pool in order to bite a piece of meat in the mouths of many top international investment banks, sovereign funds, and financial giants.
After that, Wonta Nakai will naturally handle the coordination, legal affairs, supervision, and final cash out...
