Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 117 What is huge profit?
After the graduation ceremony, Masato Takeshita returned his focus to the financial field.

"Kamoto-san, sell all your NTT stocks."

In just over a month, the NTT shares held by Xinghai Capital have appreciated by 1%.

He was satisfied and was not prepared to play this brave game of passing the parcel anymore.

That’s right, NTT’s stock is a game of pass the parcel.

Its annual turnover and annual profit are completely unable to support its market value.

This is a gambler's game, and the only thing you are betting on is that the shares will not explode in your hands.

"Yes, President."

Although Takamasa Yoshimoto is a little old-fashioned, he is still very proficient in knowledge of the financial industry.

Ever since the company leveraged its NTT shares, he has been worried and often advised Masato Takeshita to sell his NTT shares.

With a price-to-earnings ratio of several hundred times, only retail investors dare to pursue it crazily.

Now I can finally put the money in my pocket.

“How long will it take to complete the transaction?”

“It is expected to take one week.”

At that time, Masato Takeshita bought $10 billion worth of NTT shares in a leveraged form, a total of more than 100 million shares, accounting for almost 0.5% of all NTT shares.

Although NTT is now trading frequently, a huge order of nearly US$18 billion is not so easy to complete.

This is the result of Xinghai Capital dispersing shares among thousands of accounts. If you still foolishly play with a single account, the difficulty of trading will increase to the sky.

"Well, don't worry, be safe and finish it in 2 weeks."

NTT collapsed in late April in its previous life, and even with the X factor of Masato Takeshita in this life, nothing will change.

NTT's high market value is the result of the enthusiasm of the Japanese people.

When people regain their composure, NTT’s stock price will plummet.

Masato Takeshita's small operation has no impact on the overall situation at all.

A week passed quickly, and Masato Takeshita looked at the documents in his hand with a smile full of joy.

After deducting all expenses, the Zishu Hedge Fund under Xinghai Investment still reached a scale of nearly 9 million. In other words, Zishu Hedge Fund made a huge profit of more than 6 million from this investment.

If Masato Takeshita had been a little more greedy, instead of trading at 2800 billion, he would have waited until it reached 3000 billion or more, and he would probably have made more money.

However, the risks were too great at that time. Although NTT's peak was at US$3500 billion, it was entirely the result of a tacit agreement by the short sellers.

If the market value of 3000 billion is withdrawn again, it will be easy to be unable to withdraw.

"We will first distribute 10 billion yen in dividends to give everyone hope."

Takamasa Yoshimoto and others are just executors, so they do not receive any dividends from the fund, only project bonuses.

But even so, the employees of the Rat hedge funds made huge profits, and ordinary clerks could get bonuses of tens of millions of yen.

The bonuses of Yoshimoto Takamasa and the other two each exceeded 100 million.

"Boss, can we buy the Rat Fund?"

"Sorry, the Rat Fund has been closed."

Masato Takeshita smiled and shook his head to refuse, but soon gave everyone hope.

"The establishment of the Ugly Bull Fund will begin next week, and everyone can choose to follow the investment."

The Rat Fund has already made a profit, and it’s time to promote it.

He also needs to rely on finance to subsidize industry and must earn more.

Masato Takeshita does not want Xinghai Semiconductor to eventually fall under the price war of Samsung due to lack of money.

Samsung Group has the South Korean government, and later also the United States as its father.

Masato Takeshita had nothing, but he had finance.

In the early stage, we relied on the Japanese stock market, and in the later stage, we took the American route.

In this way, even if Samsung launches a fierce price war, Masato Takeshita will be able to hold on well.

The bonus was quickly distributed, and the office was immediately filled with excitement. "Mr. Yamashiro, it's great. We got over 5000 million this time, which is considered the first tier."

Although Japanese people are not used to asking about salary matters, the financial industry is an exception.

In order to stimulate employees' efforts, this industry will directly announce everyone's bonuses within the company.

"It's barely okay, but still not as good as the Big Three."

Taro Yamashiro was very proud, but still waved his hands modestly.

His target was Takamasa Yoshimoto, who ran a hedge fund.

"As expected of Yamashiro-san, you are extremely thirsty for money."

Taro Yamashiro was not an employee of Yamaichi Securities. He heard that someone in Japan was setting up a hedge fund and volunteered to join the company.

Compared with industries such as banking and securities, he prefers the hustle and bustle of hedge funds.

He was originally an employee of Tiger Fund, but he had no choice but to return to China because someone in his family was sick.

This time, when I heard that there was a hedge fund right next to my home, I naturally couldn't hold back any longer.

"You're talking about me, aren't you?"

Tarou Yamashiro looked at Junichi Sawada beside him, and they smiled at each other.

Junichi Sawada is not a returnee, but he is also fed up with the conventionality of the Japanese financial industry.

The establishment of Xinghai Investment was very much in line with his taste, so he resigned directly from Nomura Securities.

It turned out that he was right.

In just over a month, Ze Tianrunyi earned more than 4000 million in bonuses.

Although not as many as Ichiro Yamashiro, it is already among the top ten in the company.

However, the income of financial companies is originally pyramid-shaped.

Of the total bonus pool of 10 billion, Takamasa Yoshimoto alone took 30%, the remaining two giants took 30%, and the rest of the employees only took 40%.

Although Ze Tianrunyi's income of more than 4000 million is only 4% of the total, it is already ranked sixth.

This is the nature of the financial industry, winner takes all.

The first echelon of people are counting money until their hands are tired, and the newly hired doctoral students are also extremely happy.

Generally speaking, even if a hedge fund makes money, the new employees will only get a few million at most, as a token of their appreciation.

It’s different for Masato Takeshita. He directly raised the bottom bonus to 1000 million.

In this way, even a newcomer who can only serve tea, pour water and deliver documents on weekdays can live a relatively wealthy life with the bonus.

"It's better to have hedge funds in your own country. They really take care of you."

"Oh, why, it's not like this abroad?"

Ogawa Ryu is also a doctoral student at the University of Tokyo, and he also completed his undergraduate and master's degrees at the University of Tokyo.

This time I entered Xinghai Investment for internship with a learning attitude, and I didn’t know much about hedge funds.

"Of course, when I was interning abroad, interns received a bonus of at most 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. Usually, there was nothing at all."

Akio Fukuda obtained his master's degree from Yale University in the United States, and the investment bank he found there basically used him as cheap labor.

The bonuses are small and the salary is basically nothing.

It’s nothing like Xinghai Capital, which offers interns a monthly salary of 50 yuan and extremely generous bonuses.

"Is that so? It seems Xinghai Capital is pretty good."

"Not very good, very good."

Fukuda Akio corrected him with a smile, and then said with a look of longing: "I hope I can get a permanent position soon. The bonus for those who get a permanent position this time is at least 2000 million."

"Indeed, I didn't expect the treatment at hedge funds to be so good."

"That's normal. This is the crown of the financial industry. Look at our company. Most of the people have PhDs. Unlike investment banks, they have a lot of undergraduates."
