Chapter 1120 Don’t like luxury
“...Director Sagawa? Yes, it’s me, Ning Weimin. I’m already in Tokyo, I just got off the plane...”
Ning Wei The citizen made the call at noon when the market was closed, and it seemed that he caught Kenichi Sagawa taking a lunch break in the office of the Nomura Securities Sales Department.
Judging from the vague and confused reaction on the phone, it was not difficult to guess that Kenichi Sagawa, the stockbroker, was probably taking a nap.
At this time, Ning Weimin looked at his watch again and found that the market was still open for half an hour, so he seized the little time and quickly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Is it easy to talk? Please tell me, my account should be in good condition now, right?"
Sagawa Kenichi already knows Ning Weimin's temper very well.
I know that he is always straightforward when it comes to investment issues, and he hates it when others beat around the bush and tell the truth.
What's more, calling him just after he came back made him even more anxious.
So Sagawa quickly rubbed his face to cheer up, then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then retrieved the data that had been compiled long ago from the computer and reported it to Ning Weimin truthfully.
"Hi, it's convenient, Ningsang, there is no one else next to me. Please rest assured that your investment status is very good. As of the market close in the morning, your personal stock assets currently total... Let me see, it is about five One hundred and thirty-three hundred and sixty-nine and a half million yen..."
At the end of the sentence, he unknowingly lowered his voice.
After all, investment is an extremely private matter, and Ning Weimin is his biggest customer, bar none.
He didn't want to inadvertently let people who might pass by his door hear such important information.
"How much? Please repeat it again..."
It's just that there was something wrong with the call line, so Ning Weimin didn't hear clearly.
"Hey, it's 53,369,500,000 yen..."
Sagawa said the number again, this time slower, but Still trying his best to suppress his voice, not daring to speak out.
"More than 53 billion?" Ning Weimin finally heard it clearly this time.
From the 40 billion before he left, the stock assets have expanded by another 13 billion.
"Yes."
After replying, Sagawa excitedly announced good news.
"Ning Sang, I would also like to congratulate you. You have become one of the top ten large customers in our sales department with personal investment amount."
Sagawa thought that Ning Weimin He would be happy, but Ning Weimin's rude response almost made him vomit blood.
"Well...it's a little less than I expected. Are you sure you haven't sold any shares? Are you following my instructions exactly?"
Well, that’s not enough!
Sakawa still remembers that at the beginning of the year, Ning Weimin's stock account only had a few billion yen.
Later on, Ning Weimin really started to become a big player with a market value of tens of billions because he massively added 6 billion yen of follow-up funds to enter the market and increased the financing leverage.
So in Sagawa's view, in the second half of the year, just a few months after Ning Weimin left Japan, his assets continued to expand by 13 billion, which was a huge profit!
It is equivalent to making an extra 100 million US dollars, so you should be overjoyed.
He never expected that the other party's appetite was so big!
It would be an unsatisfying accusation!
“Ningsang, you don’t know something. During the period after you left, the stock market experienced a deep adjustment. The Nikkei Index fell from the position of 18,300 points, the largest adjustment range. It was at 2,500 points, and it once broke through the 16,000-point mark. It was only in the past half month that the market steadily recovered. Today, the Nikkei Index is still hovering around 17,300 points. It has not yet returned to its highest point this year. But your stock market value has increased a lot compared to before the decline."
The stunned Sagawa Kenichi wiped cold sweat and explained carefully, fearing that Ning would be the best. Weimin really blamed him.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin was reasonable. After learning about this situation, he immediately changed his coldness and expressed his full understanding in a kind manner.
"Ah, if that's the case, then there's no problem. Thank you for your hard work, Director Sagawa. You must have been under a lot of pressure during this period of market adjustment, right? Did your boss force you to do transactions for me again?"
With this understanding, Sagawa breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course he knew that Ning Weimin was also giving himself an opportunity to show off his merits, so he described the situation in detail.
“To tell you the truth, it was a bit stressful at the beginning. In early September, the market adjustment was very strong, and almost all stocks were green. Hanwa Kogyo and Yamaichi Securities, which are your heaviest holdings, , due to the large increase in the early stage, the adjustment was not small, and the adjustment range was as high as 27% and 21% respectively in two weeks, so the sales department manager almost urged me to take emergency measures and contact you quickly. I suggest you trade positions and buy into blue-chip stocks. But I remember you told me not to contact you if the price falls no more than 30% of the cost line, so I just stayed put. Scalp persisted. Unexpectedly, both Hanwa Industrial and Yamaichi Securities released temporary performance forecasts at the end of September, and the data were very impressive. Then the two stocks began to rebound accordingly, so by mid-October, the overall market fell. When they stabilized and rebounded, the two stocks you held a heavy position in had already recovered all their losses, and they had also taken advantage of the situation to rise a lot. Mr. President, I have to say that you are the investor who knows the most about stocks I have ever seen. Your stock selection and investment skills really put our analysts at Nomura Securities to shame... no, it was enough to put all the stock review experts in Japan to shame. Fortunately, you had the foresight to warn me in advance, so I didn't make an irreparable mistake. You made me believe that there are geniuses in this world!”
Although Sagawa’s compliment was quite exaggerated, Ning Weimin felt a little embarrassed and almost got angry.
But as Sagawa himself, his admiration for Ning Weimin comes from deep in his heart and is very sincere. He does not find these words difficult to say or make people blush.
The reason is that Ning Weimin made a lot of money in Japan's financial speculation game!
Sakawa watched with his own eyes how Ning Weimin became successful step by step!
His financing ability and asset expansion speed are unheard of, let alone unseen.
And the decisions made are almost never missed, just like the god of investment.
Compared with his investment strategy, those Americans on Wall Street would turn into idiots who could only count coins.
What distinguishes right from wrong financial investment? Isn’t it just harvest and profit?
No matter how reasonable your analysis is, it still depends on how much money you make!
No matter how unreasonable one’s investment logic and investment methods are, as long as one wins the bet, one must obey what is due!
Not to mention that as an industry insider, Sagawa also knows some industry insiders that outsiders do not know.
For example, despite the unstoppable rise in Japan's stock market in recent years, ordinary individual investors have not made much money.
They remain outsiders, prey to brokers and their privileged clients.
In fact, in order to obtain commissions, by holding a large number of shares in the media, the four major brokerages headed by Nomura are not only able to manipulate the information available to customers, but also conspire together to decide which stocks to favor.
The stocks they recommend are like "red lanterns", tempting the ignorant speculators to blindly follow them.
Their sales specialists will also help customers buy and sell stocks repeatedly without mercy.
The unwritten motto of Nomura Securities is "let customers speculate until they are all gone."
This shameless behavior has resulted in the average annual return on investment of most companies' individual investors being less than 10% due to frequent trading, which is far lower than the annual average of 2% for the stock market. An increase of ten.
A few people don’t even have it at 4%, which is not much better than saving money.
Conversely, the only reliable way to make a lot of money is to become an insider.
Which stocks the four major brokerages are planning to speculate on will be disclosed to their respective privileged clients in advance.
Such as bankers, bureaucrats, politicians, wealthy people and even leaders of violent gangs.
The four major brokerages will guarantee the investment returns of these people and will also promise to compensate them for the losses they suffer in the event of an accident.
This is the so-called "guaranteed compensation for stock trading".
For privileged clients who have suffered heavy losses in the stock market, brokers will provide them with "ambulance stocks" to heal their financial wounds with these stocks that are bound to rise.
Since brokers are accustomed to pushing up the stock price before the announcement of additional issuances, the news that "such and such company has insufficient funds" has become a complete money printing machine.
Although Japan has laws prohibiting insider trading, no one cares about it.
This market is so unfair. It is no wonder that the Far Eastern Economic Review said that the Tokyo Stock Exchange is "the most unethical, speculative, and easily manipulated stock market in the world." But it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin appears to be particularly extraordinary and truly remarkable.
He does not rely on insider trading, does not listen to the cheating of brokers, insists on picking stocks by himself, and makes huge bets with huge amounts of money.
After buying it, hold it for a long time and wait for the price to rise slowly. It is completely legal and compliant.
However, his investment strategy seemed simple and even silly, but it made him a lot of money and achieved legendary investment achievements in the financial industry.
Even if others want to imitate, it will be difficult.
Because firstly, he does not have the confidence to buy, and secondly, he does not have the patience to hold shares.
Nomura Securities has not analyzed Ning Weimin’s investment model.
Ning Weimin's unusually large profits have long prompted Nomura Securities analysts to separately take out Ning Weimin's account data and focus on it.
But even Nomura Securities’ proprietary trading couldn’t follow suit.
Just like this market adjustment, their sales department couldn't help but clear out the stocks of Hanhe Industrial that they had originally bought following Ning Weimin. As a result, they turned around and were shorted.
On the other hand, Sagawa did not waver at all because Ning Weimin had given a strict request to die in advance.
Even if his boss put pressure on him, he did not go against Ning Weimin's wishes and place orders without authorization, and protected the stocks in his name for him, so that he could enjoy the highest returns.
Otherwise, when Ning Weimin comes back, he will really have nothing to explain.
Comparing these two things, how could Sagawa not respect Ning Weimin as a god?
He didn't know how Ning Weimin achieved accurate stock selection and "immovable as a mountain" wisdom.
But this ability to make money and his confidence in grasping the market made him convinced and admirable.
Maybe this is the difference between capable people and ordinary people!
He has no doubt that in the days to come, Ning Weimin will continue to rise in the sales department's asset ranking.
In his heart, as long as the stock market situation does not end, sooner or later, Ning Weimin will rise to be the individual client with the largest assets in this business department.
"Okay, okay, stop complimenting me. You can keep your promise and stick to it for me, and you are trustworthy. I really saw you right. I will keep your credit in mind. "
Ning Weimin laughed, and finally said something that made Sagawa happy and gratified.
"Everywhere, President, you are wise. I am just doing my duty. You think highly of me."
And Sagawa did not raise his tail, so modest. , knowing how to be a good person makes Ning Weimin very satisfied with him.
So he changed the subject and asked bluntly, "Hey, you just said that I have become one of the top ten customers of your sales department in terms of funds, right? Then I want to know, what kind of people at my level Customer, does your sales department have any expressions? It’s not just empty congratulations, right?”
“No, no, you don’t have to worry about this. Of course, our sales department will express it with practical actions. "I'll wait for you to come back and listen to your request."
Sagawa Jianyi is currently a big customer like Ning Weimin, which is almost equivalent to his career life.
Ning Weimin is happy or angry, which is equivalent to his happiness and sadness.
So without even thinking about it, this guy just sold the sales department completely.
"If you like cars, I think you can ask the sales department to send you a Rolls-Royce or a Ferrari. If you like yachts and helicopters, the same is possible. It's just that those things need to be reserved and are difficult to get. In addition, in addition to giving away cars, yachts, and airplanes, our sales department usually gives away memberships to golf courses worth tens of millions or luxury overseas vacation packages to customers like you..."
< br>"These, frankly speaking, I really have no interest in. You should know me, I am not a person who likes to show off and enjoy luxury. Is there any more affordable gift? Especially the golf membership, I am so busy , where do I have time to play ball? In fact, for me, it is better to give me some expensive physical gifts...
Ning Weimin meant what he said, and he asked him to park the extended Cadillac. Enough worry.
Although these gifts are valuable, those things are very troublesome to maintain and require professional places and professional maintenance workers.
He is not that elegant. I also know that my life is not yet time to enjoy it to the fullest.
Even though he was laid up immediately, he still had two million U.S. dollars in monthly light interest, which was fully capable of supporting such a luxurious life.
But he loses his ambition by playing with things. He is a pursuing person and does not want to be confused and degenerate like the Japanese, wasting time and money on flashy gadgets.
In order to maintain high morale and continue to achieve greater success, he still wants benefits that can increase the value of his assets.
Taking a step back, he is using luxury goods to deceive others. If others deceive him, how can he be fair?
But this time Sagawa Kenichi was in a bit of trouble.
"President, if this is the case, I really... never thought of it..."
Yes, although it is a natural industry rule for securities companies to serve key customers meticulously, as long as they always have a lot of money. Transactions in the account, in order to satisfy them, entertainment costs are never an issue.
But the question is, what should we give to a high-end customer like Ning Weimin?
Although he has a clear request for gifts.
But will giving him expensive drinks, cigars, gold and silver utensils, works of art, or luxury watches and clothing satisfy him?
The value of these things is far inferior to that of luxury cars, airplanes, and yachts. Sagawa does not believe that a genius who has become a proficient in stock trading cannot calculate this amount.
Perhaps he could understand his difficulties, Ning Weimin simply showed off his cards completely, "That's right, I like art from China very much. I know that there is a batch of valuable Chinese art in the hands of someone. The material is worth about 30 million yen. What do you think? Can your company consider buying it and giving it to me? "
To put it bluntly, he just said "discount".
But in this way, it is straightforward enough.
Sagawa couldn't help but feel blessed, and then he came to his senses, and agreed wholeheartedly. "Yes, yes. President, you just need to tell me who to buy it from. I will report it immediately and ask the sales department to prepare the entertainment fee."
In this way, the two of them fully reached a consensus and settled the matter happily.
Of course Ning Weimin is very happy.
I suddenly had an idea and came up with the idea of asking Nomura Securities to spend money to buy things from me and then give them to myself.
With such a head, even he admires himself.
It was a bit of a fool's errand, but I lost 30 million yen in vain. This is easier than stock trading.
Why don't you want the free money? Isn't it cheaper than the Japanese?
If in order to thank himself, he bought other people's things to make others rich, then he would not be able to sleep.
And Sagawa is really not embarrassed.
Because this kind of thing is actually not uncommon among senior clients of securities firms. Rich people are far more shameless than ordinary people imagine.
As far as he knew, in September, a nightclub opened by the mistress of the fifth-ranked individual customer in the sales department.
People from the Nomura Club were invited to congratulate him, and on his suggestion, they bought a hundred bottles of XO in the store as a congratulatory gift.
That’s a full fifty thousand dollars, just to make the client’s mistress smile.
As a client with such huge stock assets, Ning Weimin opened his mouth for the first time, so it was not too much to ask for such a benefit.
