When Nishijima Rumi rushed back to the office, she found that Chihara Rinto had already had lunch and was frowning while looking at a document.
She immediately and consciously started to clean up the mess for Chihara Rinto after the meal. Chihara Rinto took the file and leaned back on the chair to make room for her to clean up the garbage. He was used to this. He used to be Shiraki.
Keima, Hitomi Konoe and others were responsible for cleaning up after this garbage-making machine, and now it was Nishijima Rumi.
It is an achievement to be able to use the supervisor as an assistant. Rumi Nishijima was initially a little dissatisfied with how messy he always made his body, but now he has become accustomed to it.
After she packed it up, she took a look and found that Qianhara Rinto was still reading the documents with her brows furrowed. She asked strangely: "Qianhara-san, which crew is this about?"
In her impression, Qianhara Rinto was always quick in doing things and would not hesitate for so long. However, Qianhara Rinto did not take his eyes off the document and just said casually: "It has nothing to do with work, it is my personal matter... I am not good at financial management and investment."
Something went wrong.”
Nishijima Rumi suddenly realized that Chihara Rinto's personal income is very high, several times that of senior white-collar workers. It is normal to buy stocks, financial products and other assets to preserve and give away money. Moreover, it is taboo in the Japanese workplace to care about other people's income issues.
, she immediately stopped asking any more questions and went to sit down at her desk - it used to be the desk that belonged to Keima Shiraki, but now Keima Shiraki is in charge of the episode screenwriting work of "Homeless Children" and she found it too noisy here.
After moving out, Nishijima Rumi took over this place, while Chihara Rinto didn't have any airs and didn't mind his assistant being squeezed in with him every day.
It's still lunch break. Chihara Rinto doesn't care whether Nishijima Rumi is there or not. He can handle his private affairs with peace of mind. He continues to read the complicated data in the file and scratches his head about the current investment situation. It's really a shame for a traveler. There is a prophet.
Advantages: I have a certain control over the international economic environment, but I lost money on my investment!
Before, he wanted to make another fortune by taking advantage of the Asian financial turmoil, but because he was not a professional, he only knew that this happened around 1997, starting in Thailand, and then quickly spreading throughout Southeast Asia - he really just knew that this happened around 1997.
Knowing so much, I felt it was enough at the time.
Of course, the world is different and there will definitely be changes. He still knows this, but as far as he thinks, it should still happen, with a slight difference in time at most, so he asked Shintaro Yasuda to prepare early and bet on the Thai baht exchange rate in the foreign exchange market.
Frustration, but things started to get weird...
This did happen. Thailand did open restrictions on the entry of foreign capital in mid-July. Immediately afterwards, foreign hot money took advantage of the loophole. They signed forward contracts with Thai banks and borrowed a large amount of Thai baht by mortgaging local assets. Subsequently,
He was frantically selling U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market to break the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht to make profits. Shintaro Yasuda thought this was the "good opportunity" instructed by Rinto Chihara and reacted extremely sharply, so he jumped in. However, the Bank of Thailand reacted
It was very fast. On the one hand, it immediately used foreign exchange reserves to take over the orders and took as much as it could without fear. On the other hand, it quickly raised the bank's short-term lending rate. The response was very quick and correct.
The two sides briefly fought for more than ten trading days, and Thailand's fixed exchange rate was unbreakable. In the end, international hot money found that it was unprofitable, so they retreated and left the market with a small loss. However, Shintaro Yasuda, who was waiting for a ride, was not so timely.
Halfway through, I found that the driver was gone, and I lost about 20% of my funds (a double loss caused by short-term borrowing leverage). I was also confused, so I could only fax the documents to report the specific situation to Chihara Rinto, and wait.
His further instructions.
Qianhara Rinto was equally confused. He was not a finance or finance major. It would be good to know that there was an Asian financial crisis in 1997, but what exactly happened, what the background and details were, he couldn't tell at all.
Two, three, four, five - He has specialization in the art industry, and he is as separated as a mountain. If you ask him to talk about the development of the film and television industry in Japan, South Korea, the United States and other countries, he can talk clearly and logically. One, two, three, four, five, six, all of them are well-founded.
, but which student majoring in directing would care about the financial market in 1997. If he hadn't read a few posts on the Internet, he would be no different from an idiot in this regard.
He thought hard there for a moment, and was slightly shaken when he saw Shintaro Yasuda's proposal to withdraw the funds to Japan. He suspected that the world had changed, and the Asian financial crisis might not happen again, or maybe the scale would not be that big, and there would be no such thing.
Too high a return is more likely to occur in a few years. If you go in now, you will just pay high borrowing interest in vain.
Even now it’s a bit unclear whether it happened in Thailand first...
I may have thought things too simply in the past, and the risks of financial speculation were really high. I was still a time traveler, and my 70 to 80 million yen was wasted without even hearing a sound.
It’s really heartbreaking. If I continue, will I lose all the money I’ve saved?
If you think about it carefully, you really can’t tell! Should you give up this opportunity and change to a more secure investment method?
For a moment, he really wanted to give Shintaro Yasuda an order to withdraw his capital and come back. He should be more conservative. After all, it is not easy to save some money. But after a moment, his mind became firm again. It was absolutely inevitable that something big would happen in the world.
, this idea should not be shaken easily. If you don't seize the opportunity when you have it, you just want to be conservative and stable. This kind of person can't accomplish anything big!
If you want more, you must take risks when it’s time to take risks, otherwise why would you make a lot of money?
Don't give up easily!
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done just by relying on your head. He dropped the documents and began to rummage through the cabinets. He found various information submitted by Shintaro Yasuda and examined it carefully. He needed to use actual data to strengthen his determination. After all, he was currently losing money. This was
In fact, persistence is persistence, and there should be no lack of caution - international hot money chooses Thailand to be the first to make a move. There cannot be no reason. As long as you find this reason, you should stick to your own judgment and bet on the Asian turmoil.
occur!
He used to take advantage of time travel and didn't care about these specific data at all, thinking that everything would go smoothly. This was just an easy trip to pick up money and a time travel benefit. But looking at it now, it seems that it is not that simple. He almost did it.
He died before he left the battlefield!
Sure enough, nothing in this world is easy, even being a time-traveler is not easy. I really don’t know how other time-travelers make money, and whether it’s as difficult as it is for me.
He calmed down and began to look at the various data and information submitted by Shintaro Yasuda before, and began to take it seriously, carefully looking for the reasons why the Asian financial crisis was bound to happen, and he really had the patience to read these boring data, and he was really determined.
I am becoming more and more determined - the occurrence of certain major events in the world is really not accidental, they are all connected one after another, and there is a certain cause and effect relationship.
Due to the request of the United States, the "Plaza Agreement" was signed between the United States and Japan in the mid-1980s. There were also economic reasons for this. This matter was widely discussed in Japanese economic papers in the 1990s.
, Japan was actually voluntary at that time, and at most it did not judge that the consequences would be so serious. Subsequently, the yen appreciated, international competitiveness weakened, and the bubble economy burst. Japan entered the Great Depression, and a large number of
Domestic capital began to flee.
So where did the money go?
Most of them have gone to neighboring countries. Even because labor in Japan is too expensive, a large number of factories have moved directly to neighboring countries. Among them, Thailand is the most popular. It has a high degree of economic freedom and adopts a fixed exchange rate policy that has been maintained.
At 25 baht to 1 U.S. dollar, the fluctuation is minimal and settlement is more convenient.
To some extent, this has created the so-called "Four Asian Tigers". They just took the international market share that was left vacant after Japan's fall. Among them, Thailand has developed particularly well, with its annual GDP growth rate remaining above 9%, at most
It has reached 15% in one year - the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries are all in a period of depression, and their international trade competitiveness has declined. During this period, Southeast Asian goods, led by Thailand, are sold all over the world. As for China, the future manufacturing power, at this moment
We have just driven Japanese products out of the domestic market and have not yet met domestic demand. We are working hard to produce for our own use without caring about what is going on outside.
Southeast Asian countries were as fierce as tigers for a while, but the good times did not last long. Starting in 1993, the economies of the United States and Europe began to pick up, and the international competitiveness of Thailand and other countries began to decline. However, Japan is still in a period of depression, and funds continue to be available.
Fleeing to these countries, especially last year, was hit hard by the United States. The United States imposed economic sanctions on Japan, which made the funds escape faster. With so much hot money crowding into Thailand, it seems that Thailand also has signs of an economic bubble -
—Rinto Chihara paid attention to a set of figures. Since 1993, the average real estate price in Thailand has increased more than four times.
There is a high degree of financial freedom. Due to lack of experience, foreign capital is allowed to come in and out at will (no one expected the consequences to be so serious before it happened). The real estate industry is frothy and mortgages are convenient. The economy is gradually turning weak, but it still adheres to the fixed exchange rate policy.
It is extremely rich, if the international hot money does not engage it, who will?
Even in another world, it would still be the first victim, so it should be right!
Of course, the data is very confusing. This is the result of Chihara Rinto's preconceptions and then backward reasoning. Otherwise, he would not have found the clues so easily, and he would have been confused by it. However, this still greatly strengthened his confidence and insisted on continuing to gamble.
If we continue, we bet that the financial crisis will definitely happen, and it will start in Thailand, and the time should come.
Yes, there is a causal relationship between major events. You should stick to your original ideas and take risks!
Don’t think it’s an easy decision for a time traveler. Who knows what will happen? After all, you just lost 20%. There are no rules that can guarantee that the time traveler will not go bankrupt. If you don’t stick to it, you may lose everything and still owe a debt.
Debt! But he still wanted to seize this opportunity, so he could eat instant noodles for another ten years!
If that doesn't work, apply for personal protective bankruptcy and pay off the debt slowly, but you won't have to lose!
He called Shintaro Yasuda back and said, "Yasuda-san, I understand the situation. The loss doesn't matter. Continue to implement the original plan!"
Shintaro Yasuda has been waiting for his call to decide what to do next, but he didn't expect that he would be so stubborn that he would continue to gamble after losing one-fifth of his assets in half a month. Moreover, this failure made Chihara Rinto
His "God of Gambling" aura was shattered, and he quickly reminded: "Qianbara-san, you are really... too radical. Do you want to continue under such circumstances? The Bank of Thailand is very determined to maintain a fixed exchange rate system, and their
The foreign exchange reserves are very sufficient and obviously impossible to break through!”
"I know, but you continue your work and there is no need to divest."
"Please think twice!" Shintaro Yasuda really doesn't want Chihara Rinto to go bankrupt. If it weren't for the phone call, he would probably beg him to be more conservative - he, an ex-con, has only one client and can't afford to lose at all!
"I have thought about it carefully, and this is my decision!" Chihara Rinto said directly: "Yasuda-san, you have already fulfilled the reminder obligation as an agent. No matter what the outcome is, the responsibility lies with me. You don't have to worry about anything.
.”
"Yes, then...then continue to bet on the Thai baht exchange rate falling in the foreign exchange market, and use the same strategy in the stock market and bond market?"
"That's right, keep betting until the baht turns into waste paper!"
"This is impossible!" Shintaro Yasuda felt his brain hurt when he met a customer like Rinto Chihara, and said helplessly: "Thailand's political situation is stable, Chihara-san, this kind of thing can't happen, you are really..."
"Regardless of whether it will happen or not, execute it!" Chihara Rinto said the last thing and ended the call. He rubbed his brow and thought about it again. He felt that he was doing the right thing, but it was really hard to take risks in such an industry that he didn't understand.
I feel a little stupid and feel very uneasy.
It is said that only those with high skills can be brave. I am really not that good in this industry. It is really difficult to be bold. After I finish this job, I need to consider investing in a more stable industry. After all, I often walk by the river, so how can I
Even if you don't get your shoes wet, even if you have a certain foresight advantage, it's not a panacea. If you gamble like this, you might accidentally get it all stuck.
But this should be the fastest way to completely primitive accumulation. There is no other way but to bear the risk of falling into the river.
In this kind of matter, he is not a professional. He can only provide general direction and make decisions. The rest can only rely on Yasuda Shintaro's performance, and since he will not see results in the short term, he thought about it and threw it away in advance.
At the back of my mind, I was ready to take a look at the situation and then put my mind back on the current main business.
He was very at home in the TV program production industry and was very motivated. He raised his head to ask Nishijima Rumi what her schedule was for the afternoon, but found that Nishijima Rumi was looking at him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Nishijima Rumi quickly averted her eyes. Chihara Rinto's expression when she was thinking seriously just now was really attractive. Her eyes looked very deep and had a strange masculine charm. She couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.
She came back to her senses and said quickly: "It's nothing. Does Qianhara-san have any orders?"
Qianhara Rinto wiped his mouth, suspecting that there were rice particles stuck on the bento he just devoured, but he didn't wipe anything, then ignored it and asked directly: "What's the itinerary for the afternoon?"
Nishijima Rumi immediately got into work mode, took out her notepad like a real assistant, turned to a page and started to tell Chihara Rinto the time. Just as she was about to set it, the door of the office was pushed open, and Hitomi Konoe
He showed half of his face, then remembered something, closed the door again, and knocked on the door.
Qianhara Rinto was speechless for three seconds, "You bastard, don't do this. People who don't know would think I was acting as a secretary in the office, so they immediately shouted angrily: "What's the matter?"
Hitomi Konoe opened the door and said excitedly: "Master, the spring is about to kick off, do you want to watch?"
"What kickoff?"
"Koshien is kicking off!" Hitomi Konoe said strangely: "Didn't you ask her to go?"
Qianhara Rinto remembered, mainly because he was so busy that his butt almost fell off, and he didn't have the heart to care about such trivial matters. He turned around and looked at his watch, and asked strangely: "Why is teeing off at this time?"
"In the morning there is the entrance ceremony and memorial ceremony for the earthquake victims, and in the afternoon there is the kick-off ceremony and the first game. Do you want to watch it?"
As for the kick-off of Sakazumi Spring Water, Qianhara Rinto felt that it was still necessary to take a look. After all, these are friends, and they even had a meal cooked by them on New Year’s Eve!
He raised his hand and turned on the TV in the office. Hitomi Konoe cleverly found a channel for him immediately, and soon Sakazumi Spring Water appeared on the screen...
