Chapter 885 Raising ghosts and moving wealth
Luck is something that cannot be seen or touched, cannot be predicted, and cannot be grasped.
You may call it abstract, but it is something that actually exists, not ethereal.
Many people will feel that they have good luck during this period, or they feel that they have bad luck during this period.
So in life, you can neither rely on luck nor deny luck.
Take Ning Weimin for example, maybe it was because Qu Xiao made a special trip to see him that it brought him good luck.
After they had this meal together, all the things that Ning Weimin had been worried about were miraculously solved one by one, and there were many additional gains.
It was as if God had woken up from a nap and remembered that he should take care of his illegitimate son.
First of all, let’s talk about Ning Weimin’s investment in the property market and stock market.
It should be said that the impact of exchange rate changes on the property market has a large lag, and is far less immediate than the impact on the stock market.
However, twenty days after the launch of the Plaza Accord, the impact of the appreciation of the Japanese yen began to be reflected in real estate transactions.
Price changes and transaction volume rise simultaneously.
Originally rising from 1983 to 1985, a huge increase has been accumulated in two years. Tokyo land and house prices, which were in a period of slumber and recuperation, were once again awakened.
With the increase in the number of real estate transactions, the trend has begun to rise again.
Soon, land and house prices in Tokyo increased by 5% as a whole.
What is supporting the rise in land prices this time is not just Japan's simple expectation that Tokyo will become the financial center of Asia.
It has nothing to do with the fact that the rural population needs to complete the goal of urbanization.
There are also more tangible, more concrete things that can be seen and touched, which have become a new fulcrum for leveraging the real estate market.
The Japanese yen is appreciating in an orderly manner, and the US dollar is depreciating in an orderly manner!
What's more, the United States is still forcing Japan to carry out substantial financial opening, demanding comprehensive liberalization of Japan's financial market, and does not allow Japan to continue to muddle through.
Therefore, in order to avoid the risk of the falling dollar, many overseas funds rushed from the United States to Japan, a fertile land that has not yet been cultivated.
These hot money are all like what Ning Weimin did before, wanting to turn the US dollar, which is becoming less valuable day by day, into a Japanese yen asset that is becoming more valuable day by day as soon as possible, so as to enjoy the dividends of the appreciation of the Japanese yen.
In addition, the Japanese stock market is currently falling due to the blow to Japan's manufacturing industry.
After these funds come, in addition to the foreign exchange market, they can only enter the Japanese property market for the time being.
Even Ning Weimin’s biggest financial supporter, Credit Suez Bank, which is known for its conservative and prudent investment style, has also begun to look for real estate worth investing in Tokyo, hoping to quickly acquire the 200 million yuan approved by the French headquarters. The franc fell.
As a result, the bubble in the Japanese property market started to brew again on the original basis, like a double-layered balloon that continued to inflate.
Of course, the direct effect of the rapid entry of these funds is that there will be an increase in real estate transactions.
In just a few days, Tokyo's large, medium and small real estate agency companies have experienced an unexpected boom in the industry.
Whether it is Ono Mitsunami or Kagawa Miyoko, it seems that suddenly they feel that their work has increased, but they have become more relaxed.
Because more and more customers come to ask for property every day, the business volume is increasing day by day, and the success rate of second-hand house sales has also increased a lot.
Basically, as long as the price can be agreed upon, everything else is not a big problem, and their income has skyrocketed as a result.
Even Miyoko Kagawa's fiancé, Yujiro Sakai, who works in insurance, benefited from the increase in second-hand housing transactions and sold a lot of disaster insurance.
Of course, while they were happy, they couldn't help but lament Ning Weimin's vision, admire Ning Weimin's courage, and envy Ning Weimin's wealth.
Because land prices and housing prices in the three core areas of Tokyo have risen the most sharply, and commercial housing has risen much more than residential housing.
Especially the commercial housing in Ginza has increased by almost 10% compared to when Ning Weimin bought it.
And this price trend is not surprising, it will continue for a long time, and it will be unlimited in the future.
So there is no doubt that Ning Weimin is the biggest winner who knows things well, dares to take action, and has great luck.
In their eyes, this Chinese man is far more qualified than the economists and senior officials of the Ministry of Finance who appear on the daily financial news.
After all, he started before anyone else and really made a lot of real money!
For this reason, Ono Guangnan, who has a deep admiration for Ning Weimin, has already learned and applied it, and began to use Ning Weimin's core three-area theory as a ruler of value to measure real estate that needs to be traded. .
It is not only used as a basis for customer valuation, but also used to persuade customers to accept prices that exceed their psychological expectations.
The living conditions of Miyoko Kagawa and Yujiro Zuokai have changed even more under the influence of Ning Weimin.
They became more and more convinced that they should follow Ning Weimin’s advice and buy a house as soon as possible in order to get married.
Otherwise, you will suffer big losses in the future.
So the date between the two began to turn sour.
They don't watch movies, eat, or go shopping. They just stay together and figure out how much commission they can get.
Do you have enough money in hand to make the down payment, and which district do you want to buy a house in?
Should I buy a second-hand house or a group house?
As for Ning Weimin himself, he is now quite pleased that he acted early enough and decisively enough.
Because buying a house is not something that only requires money. In this era of limited information, if you want to buy a real estate that suits your needs, you must rely on the hard work of a real estate agent.
In today's hot market environment, every real estate agency has no worries about doing business.
For a master like him who is unfamiliar with this place, if he came now, I am afraid no one would treat him as a dish.
At least it is impossible to buy a property of such high quality that meets his needs.
And from the perspective of income, buying a house is far more stable than the stock market, which rises and falls suddenly, and may cause a black swan event.
Although the asset growth rate is not as good as investing in stocks, it is a trend investment that is like a beacon. As long as it rises, there is no possibility of losing money, and it is more beneficial to physical and mental health.
What's more, it is also practical. These benefits are not something that investing in stocks can bring.
To put it bluntly, real estate is the basis of his wanderlust and the fixed star in his heart.
Otherwise he will never be free from anxiety and worry.
As for the Japanese stock market, the market is indeed falling badly right now.
Because the appreciation of the yen has suppressed the export-oriented economy, the United States has also arbitrarily demanded that Japan increase its import of American goods.
The situation of both exports and domestic demand is not optimistic, and the stock market has reflected in advance the widespread pessimism about the manufacturing industry in Japan.
Even a full week after the Sports Festival, the Nikkei 225 Index continued to fall.
Even the powerful companies like Toshiba, Hitachi, Toyota, Sharp, Panasonic, Sanyo, and Nintendo cannot hold on, and no one is spared.
However, for Ning Weimin, the good thing is that he entered the market at a good time and the stocks he chose were either real estate or securities.
The stocks in these two industries were the least affected among all industry sectors.
Although Ning Weimin made an empiricist error and self-righteously copied the experience of the domestic A-share market, he hit a wall in the Tokyo securities market and encountered acclimatization.
But he still took advantage of the time traveler, and he was considered to have scored sixty points.
At least overall, the degree of loss is not high, which is much better than most investment institutions that lose face and turn pale.
Besides, everyone is afraid of making mistakes, but Ning Weimin, as a time traveler, is not afraid. He knows too much information about the future, and just seizing an opportunity is enough for him to turn over.
In fact, even though the Tokyo stock market is now falling in one word, it is also very difficult to obtain stock information these days.
But it happened that I couldn't see the K-line chart, was extremely unfamiliar with Japanese stocks, and couldn't know the size of the circulating market.
Ning Weimin also easily found the hidden gold among the stocks that have suffered the most recent declines, and that is Hanhe Industrial!
What kind of company is this? This company is a traditional steel producer in Japan.
The scale of the company can be called large or small. At its peak, the profitability was about 6 billion yen per year.
Thirty offices at home and abroad, with more than 1,000 employees.
The president, Beimao, has been diligent and honest in exporting round steel and steel wires for decades.
After the Plaza Accord, the yen appreciated sharply, which was of course a major blow to "Hanwa".
This is why this stock has fallen terribly recently, because no one is optimistic about the future of Hanwa Industrial.
In just less than a month, the stock's market value fell from its original market value of more than 90 billion yen to more than 50 billion yen.
It's like jumping off a building, it's terrible.
Whoever bought the stocks of this company really wants to scold them. If they fall like this, they won’t be able to sell them even if they want to.
Stock brokers have basically reached a consensus on the prospects of this stock and do not recommend it. They advise clients to sell firmly.
However, no one in the stock market except Ning Weimin knew about it at this time.
Because he is mainly engaged in export business, President Kitashiro of Hanwa Kogyo is extremely sensitive to foreign exchange and exchange rates.
Therefore, facing the severe adverse situation, President Beimao did not do everything possible to reduce operating costs like his peers.
Firstly, he did not "wring the towel" internally, secondly, he did not "lay off employees", and thirdly, he did not "invest in China". Instead, he made a decision that stunned all his peers - that is, speculating in foreign exchange!
I don’t know what route this guy Beimao took to join the foreign exchange game that only a few financial institutions can participate in.
And as soon as he started, he went all out with an extremely serious attitude.
Soon, President Beimao will take the initiative to clear out the president's office, renovate it, and install the latest monitors, telephones, and fax machines.
Then he formed a foreign exchange speculation team headed by himself and assisted by five company executive directors.
This team of speculators starts speculating in foreign exchange at eight o'clock in the morning every day until midnight. The speculators speculate in foreign exchange from Tokyo to New York.
The amount of money coming in and out every day rose from one to two million U.S. dollars, and finally rose to four to five billion U.S. dollars!
In the near future, even Citibank in New York will be shocked by Hanwa Industrial's speculation.
Because Japanese manufacturing companies have always given foreigners the impression of being conservative and cautious, they rarely participate in such speculation in the financial market.
In Ning Weimin's previous life, after this incident was exposed, Japanese reporters went to interview President Beimao.
In the interview, Beimao said in an understatement, "Making 100 million a day is child's play. I have also made 500 million a day. Foreign exchange speculation is such an easy and enjoyable business."
And he This interview scene was used in countless documentaries commenting on the bubble economy in the future.
So it can be said that it was Hanwa Kogyo who took the lead in firing the first shot of financial speculation in Japan's manufacturing industry.
There is a British proverb that nothing can upset your heart more than your friends or neighbors getting rich.
Thirty years later in the Internet age, there is also a famous saying in our country, watching you make money is more uncomfortable than me losing money.
This shows that harming others without benefiting oneself is also a common feature of human nature, regardless of race or culture.
Seeing someone you know get rich is the most enviable and jealous thing.
So this matter does not end here, and the subsequent impact is actually very serious.
Seeing the success of "Hanwa", other Japanese colleagues were of course jealous and resentful.
Many companies can't help but think like this - oh, we are all suffering, with layoffs and salary cuts.
It would be better for you to sit comfortably in the office, look at the monitor, make phone calls, and a lot of money will come.
Okay, then, since you can make much more money by speculating in foreign exchange than you can by making steel, why should you make steel? You can just speculate in foreign exchange.
We also speculate, everyone speculates!
In this way, the success of "Hanwa" set a very, very bad example for the crazy speculation and hype throughout Japan.
Japanese companies, large and small, soon followed the same path after seeing the success of "Hanwa".
What else is there in the real economy, what kind of steel making, what kind of cars are there, what kind of machine tools are there.
We all learn from "Hanwa" and speculate with money!
It doesn’t matter if you can’t speculate in foreign exchange. We can speculate in stocks and land prices!
Just like that, the momentum of this hype started blowing like a wind.
Just because Hanwa Kogyo achieved success through financial speculation, a large number of companies in Japan, no matter how large, medium or small, all began to neglect their business and began to imitate "Hanwa" to commit suicide.
Some companies are timid and invest a little bit to get a taste, while some companies are bold and invest heavily.
But no matter how big or small, you will find out in the end - aha, this money is so easy to make.
In Ning Weimin's previous life, anyone who has roughly studied the Japanese bubble economy should know about the "Six Ghosts in Tokyo".
The so-called "Six Ghosts" refer to six companies, including Hanwa Kogyo, that made a lot of money through speculation during the bubble economy period.
Even their profits from speculation can greatly exceed their respective main businesses.
The six companies are Hanwa Industrial, Yamaichi Securities, Sharp Trading, Ito Corporation, Mitsubishi Trust, and Nippon Trust.
Okay, that’s it. Since Ning Weimin clearly knows the history of this bubble economy, and also clearly knows the unlimited prosperity of these six companies in the future, he will soon be in Tokyo. The financial market suddenly emerged and caused a stir in Tokyo, Japan.
Is there any investment target with better returns than these six dark horses?
As long as they are listed companies, they are worth buying and placing heavy bets on.
In particular, Hanwa Kogyo has fallen so much. Isn’t this a great time for foodies?
To be honest, after Ning Weimin suddenly realized this, he blushed for his reckless decision to enter the Tokyo stock market for the first time!
To put it bluntly, he didn’t use his brain much at all before and just relied on routines.
Do you think that because you are a time traveler, knowing the general trend of the future is enough?
I didn’t think much about it and recalled what I knew about the bubble economy. I was so blindly confident!
Speaking of which, it was thanks to Hanwa Kogyo's fall so hard, otherwise, he would not have been able to remember this company.
Once the company secrets of Hanwa Industrial's foreign exchange speculation are exposed, the stock price will surely skyrocket.
Then he missed such a good opportunity to eat meat and regretted it until his intestines turned green!
Good fall! What a great fall! The fall of Hanwa Kogye is really amazing!
So he took action when it was time to take action. Ning Weimin carefully searched the stock directory for the company name of "Six Ghosts" and found that only Japan Trust was not a listed company, so he copied down the stock code. He contacted his stockbroker Kenichi Sagawa.
He announced his fame and fortune on the phone and requested that all existing stocks in his personal account be liquidated, and then he used 500 million yen to buy Hanwa Industrial in batches, and used the remaining funds to buy several other stocks.
After hearing Ning Weimin's instructions, Sagawa Kenichi was initially overjoyed because he could earn a large commission.
But soon after hearing what stocks Ning Weimin was going to buy, he fell into fear and panic again.
Out of professional ethics, I couldn't help but try my best to dissuade Ning Weimin.
"Please consider it carefully, Ning Jun. The market is still falling and there are far from signs of stability, and Hanwa Industrial is a weak stock that all institutions are bearish on. It is too dangerous for you to ask like this. Once a serious loss occurs and the financing liquidation line is hit, you will lose everything.”
However, Ning Weimin was so sure that he did not hesitate to brag to comfort Sachuan.
"It doesn't matter. Hanwa Industrial has already fallen below its net assets, so the risk is not too great. And if something like what you said happens, I will add additional funds. I know what I know. Please feel free to take care of it. Do what I say.”
So Sagawa Kenichi, who was dumbfounded, could only obey.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the stock code he had written down, feeling extremely sad and feeling an unacceptable unreality.
Am I about to lose the first high-net-worth client in my career?
But why does my client have to run towards bankruptcy?
Do you really want to jump off a building?
He didn't know that on the other side of the phone, Ning Weimin had already crossed his legs happily, leaning on the chair and looking at the sky outside the window, imagining a bright future.
What are the Tokyo Six Ghosts? These are clearly Japanese little devils who can bring us gold and silver.
Hey, look, we are about to use our ancestors’ five ghost fortune-making skills to raise ghosts and make money!
