Chapter 1357 The following is as follows
Every morning at eight o'clock, the general manager of any business department under Nomura Securities must lead all employees to hold a morning meeting on time.
At the meeting, the senior cadres of the branch will be responsible for conveying the "instructions" of the head office, and then disclose the performance completion status of the previous day.
“Keep moving towards the goal!”
A day’s work begins with the general manager taking the lead and shouting loudly.
As soon as the morning meeting ends, all the sales staff in the sales department will immediately start flipping through the newspapers.
"Nikkei Shimbun", "Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun", etc., everyone must read through two or three professional newspapers in the industry.
The morning meeting usually ends from a quarter to twenty minutes, and only half an hour to forty minutes until the market opens at nine o'clock.
In fact, there is simply not enough time to read newspapers.
But even if you just read the title, keep it all in your mind.
Otherwise, when a customer asks about the market situation, there will be nothing to say, or the customer will not be able to answer the question, which will be a waste of time.
After browsing the newspaper in a hurry, as soon as the trading starts, all areas of the stock exchange will be immediately filled with the sounds of "Buy!" and "Sell!", and it will be noisy.
The Chuo Ward Sales Department where Kenichi Sagawa works is undoubtedly the core of Tokyo's core business district. Due to its sufficient geographical location, it is relatively easy to acquire high-net-worth customers.
The number of customers in the sales department is not only large, but also of high quality. Many of them are senior white-collar workers or managers of large companies nearby.
So even if the sales department has many sales people, everyone in the office area must rely on the phone to take care of the business of at least hundreds of customers.
As soon as trading begins, these stockbrokers start calling client companies.
Especially when the stocks under their clients' names began to rise in price, they called their clients even more frantically, asking them whether to sell or not, what their plans were, and so on, trying to induce them to make transactions.
This era has the particularity of this era.
As securities trading and the stock market quickly evolved into a nationwide orgy in Japan, most people at this time believed that the stock market had the potential to make everyone involved rich.
So it is quite common to buy and sell stocks during company office hours.
No company will make things difficult for its employees because from top to bottom, everyone is actually speculating in stocks.
Even every day, as many as three million retail investors walk through the crowded streets to the major securities offices in Tokyo to buy and sell stocks in the huge trading floors.
Among these retail households, which account for one-tenth of Tokyo's population, there are housewives, taxi drivers, college students, barmaids, hotel waiters, teachers, and monks...
They The trading hall of brokerages is crowded, staring at the constantly changing large screens and hundreds of market monitors in the distribution hall.
If someone can't stand the pressure and wants to take a break from the chaos of hundreds of people, they can also go to the restaurant or coffee shop run by the brokerage nearby or upstairs to have snacks and drinks. .
The difference between these restaurants and coffee shops and ordinary shops is that each table is equipped with a market display and a telephone. Even here, these investors will not miss any trading opportunities.
Of course there are differences between people.
Take the Chuo Ward Sales Department where Kenichi Sagawa works as an example. Investors with an average monthly trading volume of 500 million yen can always trade in a quiet environment.
The Central District Sales Department of Nomura Securities provides this group with small private rooms equipped with personal computers. Those computers are equipped with analysis software that can help them track the trend of their own stocks and obtain a large amount of technical market information.
More advanced customers can also trade in more advanced VIP rooms provided by brokers.
The average monthly transaction volume of those true VIP customers can reach 3 billion yen.
Although these VIP rooms are not many, they are very high-end in decoration and stocked with high-end cognac and whiskey.
So, in this era when the securities business is booming, once the trading time enters, it is the golden time, and there will never be a chance for securities practitioners to take a breath.
This is true from top to bottom, unless the trading time is over.
However, on July 23, the trading peak was around 2:30 in the afternoon.
In the Chuo-ku sales department office area where Sagawa Kenichi works, an unusual situation breaks this routine.
Even though there were constant calls in the office area, all the sales staff clearly heard the loud scolding coming from the closed door of the general manager's office.
"You actually transferred 4 billion yen from the sales department! Sagawa! You bastard, you are so independent! Do you still take me seriously? You did this specifically for the end of the month. Do it! Bastard! Bastard!”
It’s rare to hear the voices inside so clearly, which shows how angry the general manager is.
So for a moment, the entire office area became eerily silent like a miracle.
The silence time is about five or six seconds.
During this period, this state was in sharp contrast to the noisy chaos outside the office area and the constant inquiries from customers on the microphone.
Yes, Ning Weimin's order did have a very adverse impact on Sagawa Kenichi's situation.
During working hours today, he sold stocks worth more than 4 billion yen in accordance with Ning Weimin's request, and transferred the funds to Ning Weimin's bank account in batches without hesitation. .
So, when someone noticed this and reported the news to Kanji Goto, the head of the sales department.
The general manager became furious over the possibility of losing his position as the number one sales department.
At his call last month, everyone worked hard to finally get this honor. Will we lose it again if we can't keep it for a month?
How will the headquarters treat him in this case?
I definitely think that his management ability is flawed and he just won by luck.
It’s hard to say whether he would be considered for promotion if given the opportunity.
How could he allow such a thing to happen?
Destroying a person's future is like killing his parents. He naturally regards Sagawa Kenichi who caused all this as his enemy and thinks that he is deliberately against him, so he immediately called Sagawa Kenichi into his office. .
After confirming that the matter was completely true, Goto Kanji could no longer restrain himself and completely broke his guard.
But even though he roared excitedly, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his chest, every "bastard" had a tongue-licking sound.
As a subordinate who was scolded, Sagawa Kenichi did not show any fear, timidity or guilt.
Instead, he changed his usual submissive attitude in front of Goto Kanji and admitted the matter frankly. "No matter how you scold me, I accept it happily. I just hope you can understand that what I did was entirely based on the instructions of the customer. I have no intention of going against you, let alone being wanton and disrespectful of you. . There is absolutely nothing we can do about what happened this time. The customer needs to misappropriate the funds and exchange them for a larger amount of funds. Although it is a bit sudden, in the long run, the customer has more money. We may double our investment in securities in the future. This is even a good thing for us.” He was even more angry and couldn't accept it at all, and he couldn't understand Sagawa Ken's calm state of mind at first sight.
"Good thing? Understand? Don't use such words to deal with me!"
The pot-bellied leader scolded sternly, and stood up from the chair holding the table regardless of his body weight. .
Then, like a stupid bear, he hit the table hard with a "bang" sound.
"Sagawa, I only know that the 'First Sales Department' that our Chuo District Sales Department finally acquired will probably be lost because of you! You don't feel guilty at all! You don't even have the slightest bit of shame. Don’t you have any heart at all?”
He waved his hands and strode around the room, always staring at Sagawa Kenichi.
Sagawa inevitably felt a little flustered and uneasy, but he still tried his best to stay calm and explained patiently.
"If you insist on saying that, then I can't help it. I have explained the whole story clearly. I have done everything I can. If I can persuade the customer to change his mind, I will I have said a lot, but the problem is that the client still insists on doing this. Chairman Ning needs to use the money. There is no way, so I have to sell the stock according to the client's wishes and transfer the money to the client's account. . I have no reason to refuse, let alone shirk. If this has caused you any trouble, I just want to say sorry.”
After listening to Sagawa's explanation, Gobe Kanji, who had been circling the room, stopped. He couldn't believe his ears.
How dare this guy be so "bold" and "arrogant" in front of me?
"Sorry? Bastard! Do you think an 'sorry' is enough? Do you still think I will believe your stupid words? Even if President Ning really thinks so, you can't do it so easily Agreed! During the meeting this morning, our sales department's performance has improved a lot compared to the same period last month. It stands to reason that we can retain the title of 'No. 1 Sales Department', but because of you, this hope may come to nothing. . If everyone knows that the money flowing out of the sales department today is much more than usual, how can you keep the morale of the entire sales department? You also know that in order to win the first sales department, How much effort have you put in? You actually let your customers be so willful? Damn it! Are you kidding me? Your indiscretion may have ruined all my hard work and careful planning! Let all our efforts so far be in vain! If this is the case, how can you, a guy like you, bear this responsibility..."
Gobu Kanji's tone was very harsh, and he also used moral kidnapping. Shifting the blame.
Sagawa Kenichi didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he only lowered his head.
Now Gobe Kanji was so proud that he was unforgiving and continued to beat the subordinates in front of him as a "dog in the water".
"Sagawa, I remember that Chairman Ning sold more than 60 billion yen of stocks last time. You told me that your clients may soon transfer some of their funds after balancing their assets. Then invest again in the stock market. Now more than two months have passed. Instead of seeing Chairman Ning’s funds come back, I have seen you sell more stocks for him. How do you explain this? Haha, I promoted you to the position of section chief, but you can't even handle this little thing. Do you still have the nerve to stay in this position?"
"Also, our securities company. Its business includes not only stock trading, but also public bonds such as government bonds, local bonds, and power bonds, trust investments such as medium-term government bond funds, and a myriad of various financial products. And you, you, so far, have not been able to Convince Chairman Ning to buy some. Do you still dare to say that you have tried your best? Are you treating me as a fool? I warn you that I am extremely dissatisfied with your recent work attitude and performance according to the unwritten rules of the company. , the older the employee, the heavier the burden will naturally be on his shoulders. If you still want to continue to be the section chief, then let your performance speak for itself. Otherwise, you know the consequences. I'm really surprised that you are like this. How do people in daily life feel at ease when facing those hard-working subordinates? Even I blush for you..."
Gobu Kanji scolded happily, completely stepping on Sagawa Kenichi's self-esteem. The feet are ravaged.
But his contemptuous verbal stimulation had no positive effect on Sagawa Kenichi at all.
Because there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart, and the absence of desires leads to strength.
Sagawa Kenichi, who has long seen through the nature of securities companies, has actually turned into Sun Moucheng who likes to look at the stars.
Not only did he not "know shame and then be brave", but he thought of Kanai who was driven to death by performance pressure, and felt a heartfelt hatred for such a pig-headed boss.
In particular, he also thought about Ning Weimin's promise yesterday, plus the fact that the securities industry is now in a recruiting stage for various companies.
He actually doesn’t have much fear of losing his job.
So the anger that Sagawa had been suppressing in his heart was squeezed out at this time.
Prompted him to say things he had never dared to think about in his life, and also did something unique in his life.
"Shut up, someone like you who only sits in the office and talks, how can you say such things to me! You are the one who is truly shameless and feels at ease, right?"
< br>Raising his head suddenly, with a "pop" sound, Sagawa Kenichi also slapped his hands on the general manager's desk.
He opened his eyes and looked at Gobe Kanji's face without giving in.
"Asshole, you are required to perform well every day. How do people like you understand the troubles of salespeople? What is a management style like yours! It is nothing more than using sales performance figures to measure a person's value. People with poor performance, It’s not that you have no ability, but you are too lazy to do it. If you think it’s that easy, come and try it yourself. I don’t believe you can do it better than me.”
“I’m telling you, don’t do it either. I'm a fool. If I lure customers into making transactions, frequent transactions will cause them to suffer losses. What use can the company do if I'm the one who's in trouble? Why should I be so greedy? You don't have the guts to say anything. How can I recommend a product to my customers when I can see that it's going to lose money? I'm not one of those idiots. Just believe what you say."
"You. Don't threaten me with your position. It doesn't matter if you are a section chief. You can fire me if you want. But I also want to ask you, don't other customers have requirements to sell their stocks and transfer their funds? If others are also providing such services to customers, then why do you blame me for losing the first sales department?”
“What’s more, the stocks I sold today didn’t make any money for the company? ? More than 130 million yen in commission? Isn’t it money? With this performance, I have already achieved this month’s sales target? Then why do you think I am weak and easy to bully? . I tell you, you are wrong if you think so. Although Chairman Ning's stock has been sold, the market value is still more than 30 billion yen. If you are not satisfied with this kind of customer, then I will make the decision. Let’s clear the positions for Chairman Ning. Anyway, Chairman Ning doesn’t mind cooperating with other securities companies...”
Sagawa Kenichi’s sudden outburst came without any warning, completely shocking Gobu Kanji. .
He looked at his subordinate standing in front of him with a red neck and angrily.
Gobe Kanji finally noticed that something was wrong with Sagawa today.
This guy is really stubborn, otherwise he would never be able to do something like this.
Don’t he want to live a good life under his nose?
Does he really not want to continue to be the section chief or even get promoted further?
Why did he talk back? How did his brain circuit develop?
But what is even more surprising is the subtext in Kenichi Sagawa’s words.
Gobu Kanji only needs to use his brain to think a little, and he can understand that Sagawa Kenichi is threatening himself with Ning Weimin, a client.
He actually has such courage?
Can he really do this?
Gobe Kanji really wanted to curse at this moment, and immediately fire Sagawa Kenichi and tell him to pack up and get out.
But then again, no matter what, there is one sentence Kenichi Sagawa really said.
His client Ning Weimin is a large client with stock assets of US$300 million.
Billionaires are rare animals these days. Even if the client’s account assets are only US$100 million, they are definitely worth cherishing.
Especially for such large accounts, accounts must be closed to the headquarters.
Therefore, Sagawa "held the emperor to order the princes", which was regarded as seizing Gobe Kanji's destiny. He really did not dare to take this risk...
For a time, Gobe Kanji, the general manager, felt It's not a dilemma to scold or coax.
This is the first time in his career that he has encountered such an embarrassing situation.
His face gradually turned pale. After some thinking, he finally had to soften up in humiliation.
"Okay, Sagawa, let's calm down first..."
