Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 105 Undisguised
"President Masato Takeshita believes the stock market will continue to rise."

"Young people's first salary starts from the stock market."

"Changxin Bank launches the latest personal loan, and you will get 100 million for free."

……

"Sure enough, I was right."

The day after the show aired, Takeshita Masato read the headlines of the major media and realized that he had indeed been plotted against.

His views on the stock market were indeed widely reported in newspapers.

The better ones only talk about stock speculation and say that it is a bull market now.

The more malicious ones directly took his words out of context and implied that he recommended leveraged financing and even bank loans for stock trading.

No one knows which people or organizations want to concentrate all of Japan's wealth in the stock market.

"Isn't it an American?"

Masato Takeshita has a great influence mainly among young people, and young people are the future of a country.

If the stock market crashes one day, young people will be robbed.

Then Japan will lose its future and it will be even more difficult to climb out of the trough.

"I think I'm overthinking it. I'll read less conspiracy theories in the future."

Masato Takeshita does not think that this is a long-term plan, but more like a temporary tacit cooperation.

An institution thought that he had a good influence among young people and wanted to use his influence to expand the number of people trading stocks.

This is beneficial to banks and securities firms, so naturally everyone recommends it.

Newspapers are also willing to report this kind of news because it is really eye-catching.

A businessman recommends stock trading, which shows how profitable it is. Why not open an account right away?

Masato Takeshita, who was a little depressed in the evening, called Ichiro Haneda and prepared to let loose and vent his dissatisfaction.

"Junior, you have become completely famous this time. I heard that it has been reported overseas."

"Is there news from abroad?"

Masato Takeshita really didn't know this and thought the news was only spread domestically.

"That's right. There are similar reports in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and even the United States."

"How do you know this?"

Masato Takeshita looked at his senior with suspicion, wanting to know the secret.

"Senior Uno attaches great importance to intelligence and information work. The bank not only has domestic newspapers, but also English morning newspapers from all over the world."

"The newspaper said that you were a pauper a year ago, and then you made tens of billions of yen by speculating in stocks. Is that true?"

Ichiro Haneda looked at Masato Takeshita with a gossipy look on his face, trying to satisfy his curiosity.

"That I made tens of billions?"

"Yes, that's what the English newspapers say."

"I see. It seems I underestimated the greed of these people."

A poor boy one year ago, now he has made tens of billions by speculating in stocks.

This content is indeed very tempting. If Masato Takeshita is not himself, he will also be easily attracted by the title and choose to invest in stocks in Japan and make a lot of money.

"Why, is there something wrong?"

"Haha, this is completely a biased media report that avoids the important issues and focuses on the unreal."

"I really didn't have much money a year ago, and I did make money by speculating in stocks."

"But this report completely ignores the process, giving people the impression that I became a millionaire by speculating in stocks."

The main reason why Masato Takeshita became a millionaire was because of his patent for a trolley suitcase.

With this patent, he would become a billionaire even if he didn't trade stocks.

As a result, the matter was completely distorted by the media.

As expected of a journalism major, it’s authentic.

"Oh, so you really made tens of billions from stock trading?"

Ichiro Haneda was more interested in money and almost drooled with envy.

"How could it be hundreds of billions? It's completely a lie. I borrowed 600 billion and only earned a little over 100 billion." Earning a little over 100 billion from hundreds of billions is not as attractive as a poor boy earning hundreds of billions.

Even if no one specifically mentions it, the media will choose to report the latter.

"That's it, I say."

Many people can make a little over 100 billion from hundreds of billions.

At this time when the Japanese stock market is booming, Masato Takeshita does not stand out at all.

Companies like Toyota are really good at finance.

"Tell me, who is using me as a gun?"

"It's a financial company. I guess all of them can't escape."

The more people trade stocks, the more money financial companies make.

Ichiro Haneda doesn't know what the situation is abroad, but domestic financial companies have enough motivation to do this.

"Forget it, I can't afford to offend you."

Masato Takeshita feels that the current Japanese stock market is a huge pig-killing scheme.

Various financial companies are desperately trying to lure domestic and international investors and financial institutions into the market.

Then, at about the same time, a financial crisis would occur, and then huge profits would be made through short selling, achieving precise harvesting.

The method is quite spicy.

This time, Masato Takeshita was somewhat certain that there must be Americans involved.

“I wonder if it’s Soros?”

Such vicious means and the energy mobilized do not seem to be what a Japanese financial institution would do.

Only financial institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom have such a great global influence.

In his previous life, Soros shorted Japan in 1987. It is very possible that he is now deceiving more pigs to be killed.

But Soros is not omnipotent.

There is indeed a bubble in the Japanese stock market, but so what?
As long as the economy is developing in a positive direction and people are confident, even a bubble can last for a few years.

Soros came too early and will only become cannon fodder in the Japanese stock market.

"Humph, if it really is the Quantum Fund, it will be really fun. I hope the losses are bigger."

In his previous life, Soros’ Quantum Fund shorted Japan, but was directly hit by the irrational sentiment in the Japanese stock market.

If it weren't for the fact that the American financial giant needed this vicious dog, Quantum Fund might really have disappeared.

The existence of a bubble does not mean it will burst immediately, and short selling also requires finding the right time.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Eat your food."

"I didn't think about anything, I just thought there would be a good show to watch."

Masato Takeshita feels that Soros is not the mastermind, but he is definitely one who goes with the flow.

But even so, Soros is happy even when he is in trouble.

"What's the show?"

"Nothing, just eat some food."

"okay."

After eating half full, Takeshita Masato asked curiously: "Brother, are you trading stocks?"

"Well, I played a few million and made some pocket money."

Industrial Bank does not prohibit its employees from speculating in stocks, but having seen the dirty deeds of banks, Ichiro Haneda is not as bold as ordinary people.

Of course, Ichiro Haneda only represents the financial institutions' side.

Among those working in finance, there are also those who like to speculate in stocks. They are also the group most likely to take a leap of faith.

“Have you added leverage?”

“Of course, it’s fun to add leverage.”

Ichiro Haneda was actually just practicing, so even if he lost everything he would only feel sad for a few seconds.

Apart from anything else, the shares of Matsumoto Manufacturing made him easily a billionaire.
