Chapter 878: Making a Big Bet
The effects of the Plaza Accord continue to ferment.
Just like a heavy stone thrown into the lake, it caused layers of ripples, which are still expanding infinitely.
In fact, not only those who have had in-depth interactions with Ning Weimin and are in the same trenches can enjoy the benefits of this feast, their lives will be different because of this incident.
There are also people who are strangers to Ning Weimin and are purely cooperative.
I was also excited by the turmoil that detonated the international financial market, and gained a new understanding of Ning Weimin.
First of all, the person who felt the strongest impact was undoubtedly Axia, who was in charge of the underground bank business at the Great Wall Hotel.
In fact, even in the "circle" of the "second generation", Axia's company is well-known.
But even so, it was difficult for Axia to forget Ning Weimin, a person she had only met briefly and not had much contact with.
Not only is Ning Weimin the youngest client she has ever received, but also because Ning Weimin has the most frequent transactions and the highest amount of transactions among mainlanders.
Even after his people went abroad, one of his female subordinates still came to his door, constantly bringing millions of RMB, converting them into Japanese yen, and inputting them into Ning Weimin's overseas account.
She couldn't help but be curious, how could Ning Weimin be so capable of mobilizing so much capital from the mainland and sending it out?
You must know that the children of the red family who provided support for Axia's company only borrowed eight million from the bank in order to open the Guangming Hotel.
It was thanks to their help that we were able to collect enough funds for this project.
The capital sent out by Ning Weimin is enough to operate such a project in the country.
This couldn't help but make her suspicious, thinking that Ning Weimin also had a special family background.
She cannot help but be interested in where these funds are going and the purpose to be achieved.
It was in this mentality that the Plaza Accord that took place on September 22 became the key point that stimulated Axia.
Based on her own tracking records, she could easily calculate how much Ning Weimin could earn from the more than 10 million yuan he had brought to Tokyo.
She was astonished to find that Ning Weimin's capital had actually appreciated to 20 million yuan if he had not spent any money!
This amount of money would be considered a huge sum of money even in Tokyo, Japan! It is almost an amount of money that Japanese people can hardly earn in their lifetime.
Not to mention that it seems too much for a young man in his 24s and 50s from the Mainland.
So out of intuition, by recalling the details of Ning Weimin's visit, Axia sincerely felt that Ning Weimin's luck in getting rich did not seem to come out of thin air.
He should have done it with a plan and purpose, maybe he had a special source of intelligence.
And logically speaking, this plan to make a fortune should have just begun.
For this reason, Axia particularly felt that Ning Weimin's overseas footprints were worth tracking, and the Japanese yen market should also be fully optimistic.
So she sorted out her thoughts and contacted her boss who had just returned to Hong Kong City as soon as possible. She wanted to apply to Mr. Hong. Could she send someone to investigate Ning Weimin's situation in Tokyo and increase the number? Investment in Japanese Yen.
But I didn’t expect that the weather would be bad.
Not only did she not get a chance to talk about the plan that she was full of confidence and expectations, but when she called her, she got bad news.
Her boss is behind bars in Hong Kong City and is in big trouble.
She didn't know what was going on, so she waited anxiously for three days before Mr. Hong called her.
As soon as the phone call was connected, the other party said directly, "Axia, I have been framed here. It may be very troublesome. I have just been released on bail and am using the lawyer's phone number to contact you. However, there is still The note is staring at me."
"Brother Teddy, how did you get caught?"
"There is a rebel in the club, and he is willing to be a traitor to foreigners. It was a trap to deceive me into returning to Hong Kong City. That guy made the first move and found a lot of false witnesses to accuse me of selling 'flour'."
"But...but you have already. Wash your hands in a golden basin, it has not been sold for four years..."
"Are the facts so important? If someone wants to mess with me, as long as the lie is not exposed, it is the truth."
"Then... what should I do now? Do you need money? How much? I'll do it right away. I'll find a way for you..."
"Hey, Axia. This is what I want to tell you. Listen carefully, and you must not contact me after this call. Put away your business in the mainland and stop staying in the mainland. You can find a way to convert all the money into hard currency and transfer it to your account. If we meet in Thailand in three months, the money will be gone. It's yours. I should be able to provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life. I only ask you to take good care of my daughter and raise her as an adult. Few people know that I have more than a dozen celebrity girlfriends. I have a daughter. So don’t worry, you will be safe..."
This is almost like entrusting the funeral arrangements. Axia immediately cried while holding the phone in her hand.
"Brother Teddy, don't scare me. You must be fine too. I'll wait for you in Thailand..."
However, Mr. Hong himself has already looked away. "People in rivers and lakes are destined to be in the rivers and lakes, and there is a cycle of cause and effect in life. In fact, I was not unjust when I was arrested. After all, I have done so many bad things before. But you are different. You and my daughter are both important to me. Axia, In fact, I haven't let you stay in Hong Kong City for all these years because I know the risks. If something happens to me, you won't be implicated. Let's take care of each other. Finally, I want to tell you, be careful and do it as soon as possible. Once the news of my accident spreads, it will not be safe for you there. Those friends in the mainland are not vegetarians. "
Listen to the phone? There was a busy signal after hanging up, and Axia, who was worried about Mr. Hong, had already burst into tears.
But she was not an ordinary woman after all. After crying, she began to think about her own situation, how to safely end the business of the underground bank, and quietly retreat from the capital.
The most troublesome thing is, what should she do with a large amount of RMB in her hand?
While hesitating, she suddenly thought of Ning Weimin again. Axia seemed to have seen a bright light and had a backbone.
Yes, all converted into Japanese yen! Worth a try!
Of course, some people in Tokyo, Japan, who are with Ning Weimin, feel more deeply than Axia who is far away in the capital.
For example, Kenichi Sagawa, the director of the Central District Sales Department of Nomura Securities, was summoned by his immediate boss because Ning Weimin made a lot of money in the stock market. He walked in with caution and anxiety. Branch manager's office.
"Sagawa-kun, this week's data report is up, your business results are very good. I heard that you have an additional high-level customer in your name, right? When you opened the account, you transferred 260 million yen. . Our sales department also raised the entire amount of capital in less than two weeks. Thank you so much!”
Sagawa Kenichi nodded. However, he was a little flattered and didn't dare to really take credit.
"Hey, it does happen. But... this client came to us on his own. He probably values the scale of Nomura Securities and its reputation and reputation in the industry. So... I feel really ashamed about the hard work. To put it bluntly, it should be considered luck. "Luck? Luck is also a kind of strength. Sagawa-kun is too modest. In fact, who doesn't rely on luck? Especially in our securities industry?" Part of it?”
The branch manager laughed, obviously not really caring about Sagawa Kenichi’s additional explanation.
What he cared about was revealed in the next words.
"No matter what, please continue to work hard, Sagawa-kun. I hope your performance will be great again next month! I am looking forward to your performance. You should know that once the yen appreciates, the company will have a negative impact on us. We have higher expectations for our business. Sagawa-kun is now the backbone of the branch. He should be able to help me make our branch's business more outstanding, right? We are the sales department of Chuo District. We must strive to be the first sales department of the whole company.”
But Sagawa couldn't bear this kind of high regard. After all, good things like falling in love can't happen forever.
He cannot have the ability to influence the performance of the branch.
"This...I am very grateful for your favor. But...with all due respect, it is very accidental that I have such good business results this month. It all depends on this unexpected high salary." Net worth customer. Although I will definitely work harder next month, I am afraid that my ability is not enough... If the branch asks for better results, I am really worried that I will live up to your expectations..."< br>
Sagawa looked very embarrassed.
But even though he said this, the branch manager thought it was just a courtesy.
"Hey? Don't say that. You already have such high-net-worth excellent customers. Don't you still know how to increase your performance? Don't be kidding, Sagawa-kun, you have been in the industry for ten years. Why are you still talking about such a layman? What about that? It’s just to ask your customers to do more on-site transactions. I heard that your customer is very young, so what are you talking about?”
Sagawa was immediately troubled by the words of the branch manager. Jianyi sweated on his forehead.
He immediately lowered his head to apologize and further explained his difficulties.
"Yes, you are saying that. But there are some special circumstances that you don't know. This customer is not Japanese, but a foreigner from China. There are still certain language barriers to communication. . And this customer doesn't look like someone from a third world country. He uses an offshore company in Hong Kong to buy stocks, and he has his own opinions on stock selection. He just chooses none of the stocks recommended by the company. He joined a small securities company and a real estate company. In terms of stock investment, except for some confusion about the specific procedures, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Although he was a young man, he was a skilled veteran, not to mention that the "Plaza Agreement" happened just after he had established a position. He made a lot of money. Such a customer is difficult to be influenced by other people's opinions. In fact, I tried to persuade him to take profits and invest in other stocks, but he refused without hesitation. I said that I hope to hold it for a long time, so... so this matter is not easy, and I hope you can understand it."
As Kenichi Sagawa bowed to him one after another, the branch manager was silent. After a while, his face gradually changed.
Indeed, that is true.
To be honest, securities companies are actually afraid of such backbone customers.
Have certain financial knowledge. When trading stocks, I like to follow the trend, not easily fooled, do not blindly accept news, and like to hold for the long term.
But after all, oppressing subordinates is also part of the corporate culture of Japanese companies.
How can we stimulate enthusiasm for work if we don't give a few hard kicks and whips to those who lack self-confidence and are timid?
Especially in the securities industry, the pressure on performance indicators is not ordinary.
Even he, the branch manager, could hardly breathe.
To put it bluntly, in this industry there are only two ways to survive: eating to death or being scorned to death. No one can live comfortably.
If he understands Sagawa Kenichi's difficulties, who will understand him?
So you must not be merciful.
"Nani? Sagawa, don't make excuses for your laziness. How can you say such unambitious words! You have experienced the oil crisis. The fact that you can stay in the company until now is enough to prove that you are an elite in the industry. Have you forgotten? When we came to work at Nomura Securities, each of us made an oath to never forget the sense of ownership and to open up and create new fields. Although the road ahead will be challenging and dangerous, we can still achieve success. The joy. Have you forgotten what the president said? Yes, there is a stage for you to display your talents. As long as you have the ability, it is not a dream for young people to display their talents! We are at Nomura Securities! "
"Never forget that as a salesperson, your only responsibility is to lead your customers to stock transactions. What you have to do is to keep your customers selling. Buy. If your client makes money, that's great. Just let him keep investing the profits and invest in another stock. It doesn't matter, you give him a guarantee that he can get his money back. No matter whether the stock will rise or fall, no one can predict it, and it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we can make endless transactions for our customers. . Some customers may become theoretical riches in the short term, but we are the ones who will always get real money benefits.”
“Understand? The securities company is actually a big casino. It's the croupier in the casino who makes money by rake. Never give up trying to let your client participate in stock trading. No matter what he wants, as long as he nods to participate in this gamble, the only situation we need to avoid is the client. Don't bet. Just use your brain and think of a way. Use whatever you want to impress the customer. In short, use your strengths to convince him. Let him be willing to buy and sell stocks.”
Faced with such an impassioned boss who is fixated on performance indicators, what else can Kenichi Sagawa say?
No matter how bitter he felt, he knew that he could no longer defend himself.
He could only bow quickly and say straightly, "Hi Yi!"
At about the same time, the Commercial Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of China in Japan was contacting Huo Yanping, who was in China, via an international long-distance phone call. The topic of conversation was about Ning Weimin.
Hearing that Ning Weimin had gone to the embassy to have a meal, Huo Yanping asked this old colleague how he felt about Ning Weimin.
The Commercial Counselor actually felt that Huo Yanping valued Ning Weimin a little too much.
Because of that meeting, Ning Weimin only showed a knowledgeable and reasonable side.
In addition, he is no more than a weakling in age, so it is hard to say that he left the counselor with any particularly outstanding feeling.
But Huo Yanping told the counselor that Ning Weimin had actually relied on hoarding Japanese yen, allowing several related domestic units to reap huge profits.
If it adds up to almost 20 million.
The commercial counselor's reaction was different.
It took almost a minute to recover, and then he promised to pay more attention to Ning Weimin's actions in Tokyo and provide timely feedback on the relevant situation to Huo Yanping.
If nothing else, there are so many people in the ambassador who can speak foreign languages, and the counselor does not regard them as rare.
But there are really no people in China who can predict the international situation in advance and make huge profits from the exchange rate.
The counselor was also convinced by this point, even he himself couldn't do it.
Whether he was confused or just lucky, at least he had to say that this kid was very capable and courageous, and he also won the bet.
He was as curious as Huo Yanping, and also wanted to find out why Ning Weimin dared to place such a heavy bet?
