Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 119 Grudge Game
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be very real. But to be on the safe side, we still need to investigate."

Tomokazu Miura had a vague guess about the identity of the whistleblower in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud foolishly.

This is an unspoken understanding between the two parties.

The first law of economics,

When a lot of good news about a company appears in the market, the whistleblower is basically equivalent to the company.

The Nihon Keizai Shimbun is well-informed and quickly verified the authenticity of the information through various sources.

Even the bidding target that Shinji Kikuno did not mention was revealed by the Nikkei News's informant.

"Just arrange the headlines and sub-headlines, and write the title like this."

Tomokazu Miura was very decisive and decided to make the Rat Fund a hot news.

The next morning, the Rat Fund made the headlines and second stories of the newspapers, officially meeting millions of Japanese.

"Zishu Fund made hundreds of billions in one month, and its asset size quadrupled"

"Employees received a house in Tokyo as dividends. How much did the Rat Fund earn?"

Yoshikazu Hasegawa works for a large company, just got married this year, and is a loyal reader of Nikkei News.

He watched today's news and couldn't help showing an envious expression.

“Do hedge funds make so much money? The employees’ dividends can actually buy a house in Tokyo?”

His wife Hasegawa Fuyumi was also envious and couldn't help saying, "It would be great if we could invest as well. We made so much in just over a month, and we could probably make 1 times as much in three years."

"It's almost impossible. Major events like NTT's listing don't happen once a year."

Hasegawa Yoshikazu smiled and shook his head, not believing that the Rat Fund could still make so much money.

As for the investment matter, he pretended not to hear it.

The marriage had emptied his wallet and he couldn't afford to invest tens of millions of yen.

"How is that impossible? Tell me, can we borrow money to invest? I remember a few days ago, a bank employee came to our door and asked us for a loan."

The more Hasegawa Fuyumi talked, the more she felt that it made sense. She held her husband's hands, with a different light shining in her eyes.

She longed to stay in Tokyo, even if the place she lived in was small.

"Well, okay, I'll give it a try."

Hasegawa Yoshikazu also longed to have his own home in Tokyo.

However, although he works in a large company, his salary is only over 400 million.

If you want an annual salary of tens of millions, you have to wait at least 10 years.

This is determined by Japan's corporate system.

Most companies in Japan implement a seniority system, and young employees in large companies also do not receive much salary.

If you want to live a decent life, you have to wait until you are at least 35 years old.

At noon that day, Hasegawa Yoshikazu faced the bank employee who came to visit again and asked directly: "How much can I borrow for my current job?"

Inoue Yao didn't expect that today would be so smooth, and immediately started calculating.

"With your current financial situation, you can definitely borrow 1 million yen and pay it back in 30 years."

Not long ago, the central bank lowered the interest rate to 2.5%, making it more difficult for banks to lend.

I don’t know which bank introduced the policy on lending to individuals, but the rest of the banks followed suit.

The situation is actually not that bad at the moment. The employees are relatively well-behaved and basically only sell loans to property owners and company employees.

In a few months, as the task indicators pile up, even unemployed people can easily get loans.

"No, I only want to borrow 5000 million."

For a loan of 1 million yuan, the annual interest alone will be more than 400 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to his current salary.

It’s different with 5000 million. Although they still need to tighten their belts, the two of them can still make it.

"Okay, now?" "Wait for now, I'll call you next month or the month after next."

Hasegawa Yoshikazu has a thorough understanding of the world.

He knew that after the news of the Rat Fund's profitability was exposed, even if it did not want to open a new fund, society would force it to do so.

The Rat hedge funds are making so much money that politicians and tycoons all want to get involved.

And this time will not be long, it is difficult to exceed 2 months.

By then, he will be able to get a piece of the pie.

"Okay, please Mr. Hasegawa and Mrs. Hasegawa."

Hasegawa Yoshikazu's guess was correct. When the Rat Fund's profit was exposed, Takeshita Masato immediately received countless calls.

There are seniors from Waseda University as well as senior leaders from related companies.

Even Michael and others who were far away in the United States called to express their desire to invest.

Once or twice is luck, but three times is definitely a real skill.

After this long position in NTT, Masato Takeshita has become a supernova in the financial field.

Everyone wants to get on board and achieve new highs in assets.

"Takeshita-senpai also wants to invest. Okay, I understand."

"Well, hello, Senior Tanaka. No problem, I'll call you as soon as I open a new fund."

I was busy until after 10 o'clock in the evening, and the phone at Takeshita Masato's house did not ring again.

He is now a cash cow in everyone's eyes, and no one dares to offend him.

It’s okay before 10pm, but after 10pm it’s personal rest time.

If you want to ask a question, you know it's best not to be too intrusive.

"Why are there so many calls today?"

"This is the unique charm of money. There is nothing we can do about it."

Masato Takeshita thought of the two big guys just now and knew that his publicity plan this time had achieved unprecedented success.

By the time Chouniu officially starts raising funds, it will definitely be an astronomical figure.

Feeling that the popularity was almost there, Masato Takeshita immediately started a fundraising campaign for the Ugly Bull Fund at the Prince Hotel.

"Takeshita-senpai, why did you come here in person?"

Masato Takeshita was standing at the door. He saw the baby-faced old man from afar and hurriedly walked forward respectfully.

"Nothing. It's rare that my alma mater has such a promising junior, so I naturally want to come and see him."

Takeshita Noboru is very kind, just like an old man next door.

"Hmph, hypocritical."

As if deliberately making trouble, Tanaka Makiko deliberately appeared after Takeshita Noboru, and then looked at the Minister of Finance in front of her with contempt.

Makiko Tanaka is the daughter of Kakuei Tanaka and has a great grudge against Noboru Takeshita.

If it weren't for Noboru Takeshita's backstabbing in 1985, Kakuei Tanaka would not have suffered a stroke and been hospitalized.

In addition to the backstabbing, he also made Tanaka Makiko angry by taking in Ichiro Ozawa.

Ichiro Ozawa was Kakuei Tanaka's direct disciple.

The result was that such a person also chose to stab in the back and later became one of the Seven Magistrates of Takeshita.

What made Tanaka Makiko feel even more uncomfortable was that Ichiro Ozawa had been following his father's lover, the mother and daughter's mortal enemy, for a long time.

However, on this point, Tanaka Makiko obviously misunderstood Takeshita Noboru.

Ichiro Ozawa was not a member of Takeshita Noboru's faction at all. He was Kanemaru Shin's representative in the Takeshita faction.
