Chapter 1011 is so scary
“Manager, there is a situation that you may not know much about. In fact, when President Ning asked me to open a business account, he did not invest in the name of this restaurant, but in the name of this restaurant. In the name of a trading company. And the money he deposited into the business account was not only Japanese yen, but also French francs and US dollars. "So we have every reason to believe that President Ning must have friends in the banking industry. Otherwise, if he came to Japan alone and had no bank support, how could he open a trading company that handles import and export business and invest such a huge amount of money in the securities market? , The most distinguished guest hasn’t arrived yet, right?”
“Besides, President Ning’s banquet with people from these travel agencies should also have special intentions. Look at this, there is a high possibility of commercial cooperation. The restaurant is so gorgeous and unique, and it is a high-end restaurant specializing in Chinese royal cuisine. However, it is still relatively rare to open a Chinese restaurant in a place like Ginza.”
“As a newly opened restaurant, Faced with high operating costs and an obvious lack of customers, President Ning should also be worried, right? So it would be great if the travel agency could join forces to recommend and promote the restaurant. If it is convenient, we will also bring some guests over to taste it. This is definitely a good idea. In my opinion, this shows the wisdom of President Ning.”
Of course, Sagawa Kenichi's words make sense, but it is obvious that this guy also has a tendency to become ideological.
At first, those words were quite objective, but later on, he praised Ning Weimin too much. Comparing the two, it seemed that his boss was a bit dim.
Of course it makes others not want to hear it.
"Oh, so that's it? It seems that Director Sagawa really knows his customers."
The senior manager of Nomura Securities Central Sales Department prevaricated with a smile. For a moment.
Then he put down the tea cup and started to pick up Sagawa's responsibilities.
“Hey, there’s just one thing that makes me feel strange. Since he knows his clients’ situation to this extent, why would Sagawa-kun advise President Ning to buy shares of Yamaichi Securities? Could it be that we Aren’t Nomura Securities’ stocks better than Yamaichi Securities? Or have you lost the ability to communicate with customers? Does this mean that our customers will leave our sales department sooner or later and go to Yamaichi Securities? "
"This..." Sagawa suddenly looked embarrassed and stuttered.
To be honest, this is because the other party is deliberately making things difficult and asking questions knowingly.
How could Sagawa's boss not know that a strong and backbone customer like Ning Weimin is different from ordinary people.
How can one listen to the advice of a stockbroker and let the securities company dictate it?
But having said that, peers are indeed enemies, especially after Nomura Securities sent a Cadillac extended sedan.
Nomura’s customers actually chose other securities companies to invest in securities stocks.
If this is connected, it must be something that makes Nomura Securities very embarrassed.
So when faced with such a question, Sagawa felt guilty. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to explain.
"It's my fault. But please don't get me wrong. In fact, since I learned that President Ning is also optimistic about securities stocks, I have recommended our Nomura Securities stocks. It's just that President Ning is indeed an aggressive customer with great decision-making power. . He seems to firmly believe that the stock price of Yamaichi Securities will increase significantly, so he increases his investment in its stocks. I think this may be because the president of Hanwa Kogyo has gained a lot in the exchange rate market through Yamaichi Securities. Feng has something to do with it. President Ning must have some inside information that we don't know..."
"Oh, this is interesting. If that's the case, then our sales department's self-operated business can also be used. Let's try eating some..."
The manager's eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to smell the smell of money, so he asked more questions.
"Sagawa, can you tell the truth? If our sales department buys Yamaichi Securities, are you willing to take responsibility for the resulting investment results?"
Sagawa said at that time I felt a burst of pain, which was completely self-defeating.
There is no evidence at all and it is just speculation. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?
But to be honest, the Japanese stock market is indeed very dark, and is subject to behind-the-scenes manipulation to a far greater extent than the public imagines.
Because of this, in Japan, not only can listed companies sometimes use cautious measures to play with dissatisfied investors.
And large investors can sometimes get guaranteed guarantees from securities companies to make investments that are sure to make money.
On Wall Street in the United States, this phenomenon has disappeared since the 1920s.
Therefore, the Japanese securities industry is not only keen on insider trading and stock price manipulation, but they also believe that such things are far more important than the fundamentals of a stock.
This is almost a traditional chronic disease of the Japanese securities industry.
Take Ning Weimin's stock of Shigekura Hanhe Industrial, which more than doubled in one fell swoop.
Although no one went further into this matter, with the help of Sagawa Kenichi, Ning Weimin also reached friendly shareholding conditions with President Kitashiro of Hanwa Kogye.
But for Ning Weimin to bet so accurately, let alone Hanhe Xingye, he never believed that he was innocent.
Even the people at Nomura Securities believed that he must have used some extraordinary means or had unique information channels.
So this was all out of blind admiration for Ning Weimin.
Sagawa Kenichi has some what can be called "superstitious" certainty about his investment targets.
But he is not stupid. How can he not mention some conditions that are beneficial to him for such a good opportunity?
"If you really need me to be responsible, that's not impossible, but manager, if the sales department's investment is profitable, then there will always be corresponding rewards, right?"
The manager was really happy now.
Out of the instinct of an economic animal, he was not afraid that Sagawa would ask for conditions, but he was afraid that the other party would not dare to ask for a price.
"Haha, after hearing what you said, I am more interested in this matter. So what are Sagawa-kun's conditions?"
However, at this moment, the manager's His expression actually changed.
The originally cheerful expression turned into a daze, and then his mouth opened wide in surprise.
He also repeatedly gestured to Sagawa to turn his head and ask him to look in the general direction of the entrance of the restaurant.
So Sagawa had to stop temporarily when his words reached his throat, and then took a look.
Only then did he realize that Ning Weimin, who was wearing a straight suit, had stood at the door of the restaurant at some point, shaking hands with several well-dressed guests and greeting them.
Looking carefully again, Sagawa discovered again that the people Ning Weimin was receiving at this time were all the people who had appeared in the last negotiation with Hanhe Xingye.
In addition to the president of Hanwa Kogyo, Kitashige, and his secretary, there are also Yasuhiro Ishihara, deputy director of the sales department of Yamaichi Securities, and his subordinates.
So he thought he had found the key to astonishing the manager, and quickly comforted his boss.
“Manager, those people were all present during the last negotiation with President Ning. I was also present when President Ning invited them. Don’t worry about Shanyi Securities hitting President Ning. The idea..."
Unexpectedly, the manager quickly interrupted before he finished speaking, pointing his finger in the direction he had just been asked to look at, and he was very emotional.
"Who said anything about Yamaichi Securities? What nonsense are you talking about? Let me ask you, the last time we negotiated with Hanwa Industrial, senior officials from Sumitomo Bank's headquarters were not present, right?"
"Sumitomo Bank?" Kenichi Sagawa was even more confused and couldn't help but turn around again.
Only then did he realize that there were actually a few more impressive people coming.
Even the protagonist and his entourage are almost all middle-aged people over forty years old. With the unique arrogance of senior executives of large companies, they stood in front of Ning Weimin and shook hands with him.
Probably because of the angle, these people happened to be blocked by a few people from Hanwa Kogye, so he didn't notice it in time.
Based on his knowledge, although he could not recognize whether these people were from Sumitomo Bank headquarters, his boss said they must be.
What's more, President Kitashiro of Hanwa Kogyo and the people from Yamaichi Securities were so attentive and apologetic. Even if he wagged his tail at them like this, it was impossible to lie.
This means that I am afraid that I am really confused. It turns out that Sumitomo Bank is behind this customer...
However, when I just thought of this in a daze, I have already seen it. The dumbfounded Kenichi Sagawa was once again severely scolded and urged by his superiors.
"Bagaya Road! Sagawa, what are you waiting for? Don't sit there stupidly! Before you see it, Yamaichi Securities has already jumped in!"
"Follow me and say hello! That’s the head of Sumitomo Sales Department, Mr. Yoshimo! Please be more considerate! Don’t embarrass me!”
As he said that, his boss stood up first, then bowed and trotted all the way, looking eager and excited...
The Sumitomo Zaibatsu has a long history. It became a rich man in 1691 due to the excavation of "Betsu Copper Mountain" The Sumitomo family was a chaebol established from the Meiji to Showa periods.
Taking advantage of the modernization of the Besshi copper mine in the Meiji period, it grew rapidly and became one of the chaebols in the heavy chemical industry. It also made achievements in coal mining, electric power, construction and other fields.
After entering the Showa era, corporate groups such as "Sumitomo Chemical" and "Sumitomo Metal Industries" continue to this day.
It was not until the forced disintegration after the war that all this was inherited by the current Sumitomo Group.
In addition to the above-mentioned enterprises, Sumitomo Group later developed well-known Japanese companies such as "Sumitomo Osaka Cement", "Sumitomo Corporation" and "Sumitomo Life".
So it goes without saying that the Sumitomo Foundation plays an important role in Japan.
Whether it is one of the three traditional top chaebols in Japan or one of the six newly formed conglomerates after the war, Sumitomo is a well-deserved leader.
It can also be said to be one of the important frameworks supporting the Japanese economy.
Especially Sumitomo Bank, as the core of the consortium, is irreplaceable in its importance.
Therefore, it is no wonder that as soon as the senior executives of Sumitomo Bank appeared, the executives of Nomura Securities and Yamaichi Securities, who were rising stars in the financial industry, also rushed to say hello and be the first to please them.
Although they are subsidiaries of the Nomura and Yasuda families respectively, they are also part of the chaebol group with backing.
But for Sumitomo, who has a big tree and deep roots, he is still a junior and is not enough to see.
In fact, let alone them, even the other people present.
As long as anyone with some status knows that a cadre from the Sumitomo Bank headquarters is here, they will try their best to say hello and queue up to give them a business card.
Who wouldn't want to connect with such an important person?
So as soon as people from Sumitomo Bank entered the restaurant, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant changed.
Especially as an important guest, the photographer also took pictures again and again, so the entrance to the restaurant inevitably started to become noisy and lively.
To be honest, Ning Weimin was completely accidental. It was pure luck that he found a loophole in the ATM machine at Sumitomo Bank and was able to meet such an important person.
Otherwise, even if he sincerely wants to make friends with Sumitomo Bank, they may not be willing to come.
However, even though Sumitomo's guests are so important and prestigious.
Not everyone is happy about their arrival today.
For example, some people who were blocked at the stairs at the entrance of the restaurant at this time and were temporarily unable to move forward and could only wait were filled with dissatisfaction.
They are Ning Weimin’s nominal Japanese colleagues, Vice President Takada, Supervisor Ishikawa and their wives of Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd.
"Oh, that's really bad. I can't believe it. How could this happen? Ishikawa, are all Chinese people treating guests like this? Do you actually want to leave the guests waiting outside the door?"
"Takada-san, don't be angry. Always be considerate. After all, Ning-sang is from a third world country, and he is so young. It is normal that he has never organized a high-end banquet."
"That's right. . We should be lucky that we are not acting in the name of "Picardon". Otherwise, we will be embarrassed. But I really don't understand. Aren't the people in front of us so snobbish? Eyes."
"Haha, we are an international company, so of course we are different from them. But where can Japanese companies get financial support if they don't rely on the Bank of Japan? Vice President, please be more considerate. Let’s take a moment.”
“Oh, it’s not that I’m inconsiderate, it’s just that I can’t get used to such boring situations. Look, there are so many people in the financial industry. What does this mean? Is it economical? We are a clothing company. We need a cultural atmosphere and a spirit of entertainment, right? I really regret coming here today. If I had known it would be like a financial channel celebration, I would have just found an excuse to excuse it. ”
“Haha, it looks like this kind of celebration will be really boring. In fact, he needs to plead. It’s not difficult for us to help him find some models, actors, etc. It’s much better than being lifeless like this..."
The two people were talking, but they didn't expect that they would be slapped in the face next, and it was the kind of person who didn't dare to say anything after being beaten and swollen.
What's going on?
At this time, some more people came up from downstairs.
The leader was a woman dressed in a gorgeous kimono. As she walked up, she frequently looked back to ask people behind her to be careful of the stairs.
“Sorry, there is no elevator... It is too difficult to find a suitable store in Ginza, so I can only open a store here for the time being... Please forgive me... Please be careful, we will be there soon, just On the second floor, it’s quite spacious inside…”
Behind this woman, there were men and women, followed by about six or seven people.
Everyone was polite, saying "It doesn't matter", "I'm looking forward to it" and so on.
Due to the angle and lighting problems, the faces of these people happen to be hidden in the shadows and cannot be seen clearly.
So no matter whether the Takada couple or the Ishikawa couple, looking at them, they just feel that everyone has outstanding temperament, and some people's voices are inexplicably familiar.
They didn't pay much attention to this either.
Due to the short time and the angle of the stairs, even when a few people came up, they didn't really recognize who these people were and just regarded them as ordinary strangers.
Unexpectedly, the woman leading the group asked them first when she saw that they were not going up.
"I'm sorry, are you here to celebrate the opening? Why don't you go in?"
"Ah, here...we..." Takada said as soon as he spoke He was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word that he originally planned to explain
Because suddenly, he found that the woman in front of him had a beautiful face that often appeared in movies or TV.
That graceful charm and beautiful appearance are almost perfect.
Isn’t this Matsumoto Keiko, recognized as the “number one beauty” in today’s Japanese society?
What a surprise!
And that’s not all, once you see the people behind her clearly, it’s just as surprising!
Ayumi Ishida!
Reward Chieko twice as much!
There are also Maeda Gin, Hirata Mitsuru, and Kasa Chizu!
Atsumi Kiyo! Even Atsumi Kiyo is here!
As for the last two, I don’t know them...
But this is scary enough!
The people I thought were strangers at first turned out to be very familiar, and I met the big star group of Shochiku Pictures!
This...what is going on? Isn't this a gathering of the financial world, but of the film industry?
Oh my God! Couldn't these people all be invited by Ning Weimin...to support him...
How scary!
