Chapter 1263 Not wanting to make progress
8pm on May 2nd.
In a small disco in Roppongi, hundreds of employees of the Chuo District Sales Department of Nomura Securities were partying to celebrate that the sales department won the second place in the mid-year performance growth evaluation. .
Of course, this also indicates that the upcoming half-year bonus will be exaggerated to the point where people shout "Long live".
So almost everyone in the venue was intoxicated without reservation, enjoying the pleasure of feasting and feasting under the flowing light of the lifting light ball and the strong European beat electronic music!
A middle-aged gentleman who looked very gentle off the court was obviously drunk.
Even if he was not on the dance floor, he suddenly wrapped his tie around his head, stood on a chair, and shouted to his colleagues in the field, "Do it! Do it! What does the Port Sales Department mean? We will definitely win the first place in the Central District in half a year!”
Then he raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.
The other people, no matter on the dance floor, not only did not stop, but responded in groups.
“One more drink! Quick! One more drink!”
"Give him a bottle! Give him a whole bottle!"
"Director Sasaki, you are so manly! Long live the Central District Sales Department!"
Countless people were in high spirits with deliberately incited emotions. He shouted, and a waiter immediately filled his wine glass.
The female dancers and transvestites in the store clapped their hands in unison to enhance the atmosphere.
This man named Sasaki drank glass after glass of water, and that was a bottle of French red wine worth up to 30,000 yen!
Not to mention, a guest on the dance floor drank too much and suddenly grabbed a Thai ladyboy next to him.
In order to see the "secret" of the shemale's body, he screamed like crazy and tore the short skirt of the shemale vigorously until the skirt was torn.
Although the ladyboy was so frightened that her face changed color, and many waiters intervened.
But because it was a special reserved venue, Nomura Securities’ brand name should not be underestimated, and that person was still a business backbone, so he casually took out several "Da Fu Ze" as compensation and gave them to the ladyboy.
Not only did this incident go away quickly, but it also inspired more enthusiastic laughter on the dance floor, making the carnival atmosphere even stronger.
This little twist and turn even became a joke for Kanji Goto, general manager of the Chuo District Sales Department, who was sitting in the audience and surrounded by many grassroots cadres.
He didn't take it seriously, but laughed out loud, happily drinking and celebrating with all his capable men.
It must be said that practitioners in the securities industry in any country are virtuous.
The work is stressful, but the profits it can create are also high.
So it is completely normal to develop severe dependence symptoms on alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, and shopping.
What's more, in this day and age, even civilians cannot avoid becoming like this.
From Goto's point of view, as long as his subordinates do not act recklessly at work, as long as they do not cause legal trouble.
No matter what these people are willing to do, everything is understandable and acceptable.
To be honest, on the contrary, he looked down on those employees who followed the rules and had no ambition or desire.
Because without these, there will be a lack of motivation to work.
Take Kenichi Sagawa, the newly promoted section chief of the second sales department business section.
This guy has no other hobbies except smoking and drinking.
The business aspect has always been satisfactory, and compared to the employees in the same period, it is not that outstanding.
But at least he worked hard in the past.
Kanji Goto still remembers that when he was the head of the sales department of the Central Sales Department, it was also the time when Kenichi Sagawa had just graduated and came to work in the sales department. It seemed to be Showa 47 (1972).
At that time, Sagawa graduated from college as a senior and was full of energy and enthusiasm. He easily believed in the "dream" promoted by the company and devoted himself enthusiastically to the frontline work of the sales department.
You know, Nomura Securities recruits hundreds of new employees every year in Tokyo alone, and most of them will leave sadly after suffering the taste of disillusionment.
Sagawa is one of the few people who can persevere through continuous efforts to increase sales performance.
But as he gets older, disappointingly, this guy's enthusiasm for work becomes less and less.
Now it has even become a subordinate who is doing nothing but doing nothing.
During the daily business hours, there is neither enthusiasm for developing customers nor much concern for the work of selling bonds allocated from above.
Every day it is just a routine to come to the company to clock in, hold meetings, read newspapers, and complete your assigned work.
Other people arrive at the company at seven in the morning and cannot go home until eleven or twelve in the evening.
But he didn’t know when he started to leave before five o’clock every afternoon, laughing, and he got off work on time even more than he, the general manager.
Because he left too early, he naturally lacked private communication time with his colleagues. He did not even participate in drinking together. He was totally disregarding the overall situation, indifferent to the collective consciousness, and trying to break away from the whole world. An alternative member of the Chuo District Sales Department.
Logically speaking, in fact, a guy like Sagawa, who is just waiting to die while working to catch fish, would not be able to fare well in today's environment where work performance indicators and data are completely controlled by computers.
Because according to the unwritten rules in the company, the older the employee, the heavier the burden he carries on his shoulders.
If the performance is really declining day by day, and the performance is surpassed by the younger generation, even if he is already a senior employee, there will be no good results.
Or you will be assigned to a position after experiencing the loss of dignity, and be forced to resign.
Either you are reprimanded by your boss every day, whipped like an ox or a horse, and have to work hard for performance.
But the problem is, I don't know what luck Sagawa had, but he actually firmly grasped a large client who was called an investment expert.
Obviously he is a Chinese from the third world. His start-up capital is only a few hundred million yen, and the follow-up capital is only a few billion yen.
However, relying on full financing leverage and an investment strategy with almost no major mistakes, it has grown to hundreds of billions of capital in just two years, and has become an individual in the Central District Sales Department. The number one client with the strongest funds.
Even the third generation of the Toyota family, the heir to the Nishiro Group, and Harunori Takahashi, an investment celebrity in the real estate industry, were all outclassed by this guy.
Who dares to believe this?
It can be called a legend in the investment community.
The key is that this person also has quirks. He doesn’t like others to serve him except Sagawa.
So this guy Kenichi Sagawa has taken enough advantage and has a loophole to exploit. To put it bluntly, the number of customers he has is as good as 10,000 ordinary customers.
Not only does he have a basic monthly performance guarantee that can be easily accomplished.
From now on, you can be lazy openly and enjoy the leisure of completing your goals easily.
Furthermore, the sales department has to promote Sagawa based on the quality of customers and the principle of promotion based on merit. Based on this merit, he will be given the treatment of a section chief.
Although this is what it should be, the problem is that Sagawa is too unprogressive.
Obviously with such good quality customers, there is great economic potential to be tapped.
As long as he persuades customers to do more transactions or buy some bonds and trust products, he can create more income for the sales department.
But he actually did nothing and just muddle along.
Sometimes, a customer's account goes silent without any transactions for a month or two.
As a result, the only fixed income the sales department can obtain every month is the interest on financing lent to customers.
Even the boss’s reminders and hints were ignored, pretending to be stupid.
Isn’t this a waste of high-quality resources and watching a large amount of gold and silver slip away from one’s hands?
Especially recently, during the semi-annual performance evaluation, the Chuo District Sales Department led by Goto Kanji was once again surpassed by the Minato District Sales Department with a slight advantage.
So for Goto Kanji, who had long been thinking about being promoted to the deputy head of the headquarters based on his merits, this was really a bit irritating to him. He really hated that iron could not become steel, and he wished he could kill this unsatisfactory Sagawa. A good beating would be the best pleasure.
Obviously, Sagawa is already a fool who has forgotten his duties and responsibilities, missed opportunities for advancement, and cannot distinguish between the big and small kings.
Only focused on satisfying customers and forgetting the interests of Nomura Securities and the sales department.
Otherwise, if he is willing to work hard, such a performance gap can be easily made up for.
It can be said that the entire sales department was defeated by Sagawa this time.
At this time, Goto Kanji, who had long been dissatisfied with this, finally couldn't help but use the excuse to make use of the wine.
"Everyone, at yesterday's meeting, I analyzed the current situation facing our sales department. This time, the performance gap between us and the port sales department is only 780 million yen. On average, it is only 700 million yen per month. It’s just over 100 million yen. It’s a pity that we lost. If we work harder, maybe our Tokyo Chuo District sales department will be able to secure its position as the best sales department in the first half of this year! It’s the runner-up. In the second half of this year, everyone should work harder to realize our common dream!”
Kanji Goto looked at the crowd and sounded sincere. A good and responsible leader.
As expected, his words were widely echoed. In Japan during this period, migrant workers were as enthusiastic as if they had been pumped full of chicken blood. They often made astonishing statements like "the company is the best in the world, and the target is 100 billion profits." slogan.
Especially for sectors such as the securities industry, where performance has soared, and because of the sudden increase in bonuses in the entire industry, these employees have turned into subhuman economic animals.
"The general manager said yes. We are just a little behind Minato. It is a pity to lose. In the second half of the year, we must redouble our efforts. Our second class has decided, Even if you work overtime until your brain turns to mush, you still have to find a way to increase your performance by another 80 million on top of the original basic monthly performance requirements."
"Asshole, we have a lesson for you. Where is the position of your second class? Eighty million yen is nothing. Our performance this month is to increase by one hundred million..."
"General manager, our investment department might as well exaggerate. One point, the scale of self-operated investment will be doubled in the second half of the year! Profits will increase by at least 20%..."
"Don't worry, general manager, we will obey your command and follow your arrangements. This is a battle we cannot lose. Whether you can get the attention of the top, as well as everyone’s bonuses and future, all depend on this..."
However, despite united efforts and grassroots cadres expressing their opinions, Goto Kanji still felt dissatisfied and unhappy.
For no other reason than because Sagawa Kenichi, the head of the third section of the sales department, still behaves incompetently.
I just stood up and echoed a few words. It seemed that I really lacked motivation and had no intention of working hard.
In his opinion, Sagawa Kenichi has reached the point where he must be given strong medicine to make him full of fighting spirit and work hard for him!
"Okay, okay! You must remember that there is a stage for you to display your talents. As long as you have the ability, becoming the youngest managing director of the company is not a dream! People like you here who are willing to work hard, Young people who are eager to give full play to their talents are exactly the talents we are looking for at Nomura Securities! ”
So even though Kanji Goto spoke words of encouragement to his subordinates, he was actually criticizing him.
And right after that, he slightly nodded his head and turned his gaze to Sagawa Kenichi.
"Sagawa-kun, what about you? What's your attitude in the third class? I didn't seem to see your work enthusiasm just now! You are an old employee, Hiroo in the second class is still yours As for the younger generation, your courage will never be compared to that of the younger generation, right?"
Sagawa Kenichi answered truthfully.
"I will try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the general manager, but to be honest, it will be difficult for our three courses to achieve performance growth in the second half of the year." Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, we haven't gotten what we want. statement.
Now Kanji Goto was really angry at Sagawa Kenichi who was showing off.
"Why? Section Chief Sagawa, are you kidding?"
In his opinion, this was simply Sagawa Kenichi blatantly flouting the authority of his superiors and deliberately singing the opposite tune, so he became furious. asked loudly.
However, Sagawa's answer was reasonable and reasonable, which not only surprised the general manager Goto, but also shocked him.
"I'm sorry, general manager, but my client, President Ning, has given me an order to reduce my position. Not only has he decided to repay all the 27.3 billion in financing he used for stock trading from our sales department, limit, and 38 billion yen of funds will be transferred from the account! ”
"What? Three hundred and eighty billion? You got it right?"
"How could I hear it wrong?" Kenichi Sagawa said, "President Ning and I met face to face, and his orders were very clear. , let me get it done as soon as possible!”
This was great. Not only did General Manager Goto Kanji stand up, but other people also became calm.
Everyone knows the impact that the sales department’s largest customer will reduce its position by more than 60 billion yen on the performance of the second half of the year.
Including interest, it’s several hundred million yen. This is simply bad news that makes people completely desperate.
"Director Sagawa, how do you protect your customers? We all work so hard, but instead of adding support to our common goal, are you going to hold us all back? Over 60 billion yen, the sales department suddenly lost so much How much impact will operating with more funds have on performance? Do you think it is possible for us people to make up for such a huge performance loss and defeat the port sales department even if we work overtime? Shima Kanji expressed his stance, and Hiroo, the principal of the second class, slammed the table to express his dissatisfaction.
“How good is the current stock market? Is there anyone who doesn’t know it? As long as you put money in, you can make a fortune easily. By the way, is President Ning not that stupid? Such a good market, so easy to make money? Sagawa, what are you doing! How did you offend this first customer?”
The head of the first class was all based on speculation. , and charged Sagawa Raori.
"Why don't we freeze his funds? As long as we make up some procedural problems, we can keep his funds in the account. It's not like we haven't done this before, those Hong Kong investors , aren’t some stocks frozen by us..."
A section chief in the investment department was coming up with bad ideas.
“But this money is too big. It’s so big that it will cause a sensation in the industry! What about our reputation at Nomura Securities? What’s more, President Ning is not an ordinary person. No one really knows how complicated his background is. But as far as I know, he not only has extensive cooperation with Credit Suez Bank, but he is now getting closer and closer to people at Sumitomo Bank headquarters. You wouldn’t think that even Yamaichi Securities has been wooing him. With such connections in the Japanese financial industry, he will swallow his anger and be powerless like those in the port city. If he does this, we will definitely turn against President Ning. "
Sagawa Kenichi is quite calm. , and he finally gained the approval of Kanji Goto after he argued with reason.
"Don't talk nonsense, this can't be done. If a customer wants to withdraw funds, as long as he has it in his account and it doesn't involve trading operations... there is no good reason to refuse."
