Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 166 Clearing Investments
Spring has gone and autumn has come. Time has unknowingly come to the end of September and the temperature in Tokyo has begun to gradually cool down.

Masato Takeshita, wearing a black suit, sat in the president's office of Xinghai Investment and gave the latest instructions to his junior.

"Asano-san, notify everyone to attend the meeting."

"Hi!"

Although they are both assistants, Asano Kayo of Xinghai Investment is more humble than Lin Qingqian of Xinghai Semiconductor.

This is related to the educational environment of both parties.

The rules of the Japanese hierarchy have been deeply rooted in Asano Kayo.

A quarter of an hour later, the baby-faced girl with a powerful weapon returned to the president's office and said respectfully, "President, all 136 employees of the company have arrived at the conference room."

"Well, let's go then."

"Hi!"

Asano Kayo, dressed like an urban beauty, bowed slightly and then followed Takeshita Masato respectfully.

As soon as the two entered the conference room, everyone who had been whispering suddenly shut up, then stood up from their seats at the same time and bowed to Takeshita Masato in unison.

The young man nodded, sat down on the podium, and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to sit down.

"The content of today's meeting is very simple. Within 15 days, all long stocks held by the three funds, namely, Rat, Ox and Tiger, must be sold."

"all?"

"Yes, all of them."

After saying this, Takeshita Masato waved his hand.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Masato Takeshita did not explain to the public why he sold all his stocks.

What he needs is a perfect executor, not a genius with his own operational awareness.

"The stock market is doing well, why is the president selling out his stocks? Is he sure that the stock market will plummet?"

"It should be, but I don't know why."

"It may be because it's the end of the year. Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, the stock market will fall."

At the end of the year, many institutions will choose to reduce their holdings of stocks in order to adjust their investment portfolios or to convert them into book assets to meet year-end performance evaluations.

At this time, large amounts of funds will concentrate on selling and closing positions, which will lead to a sharp drop in the stock market.

If this trend continues over time, a pattern will be formed in which the stock market falls at the end of the year and rises after the New Year.

"No way, it's only October now."

"Yeah, it's a little early now."

The employees of Xinghai Investment were talking about this and speculating on the reasons why Masato Takeshita did this, hoping to find the pattern behind it.

If I could understand the president's mind, wouldn't my investment technology be taken to a higher level?

Yes, although everyone did not understand Masato Takeshita's order, they had already reached a tacit understanding in their hearts that the stock market would definitely plummet in the near future.

The vast majority of employees at Xinghai Investment have developed a blind faith in young people, commonly known as personality cult.

Masato Takeshita didn't care about the disturbances within the company.

He came to Yamaichi Securities and gave direct instructions to his exclusive manager Masayoshi Tamura.

"I will sell all the stocks I hold within 10 days. I plan to put all the funds into Xinghai Investment."

"Hi!"

When Masayoshi Tamura heard that Masato Takeshita was going to transfer all the funds out, he felt dizzy.

But out of professional ethics, he still started the operation tenaciously.

Changxin Bank sold 500 lots.

Industrial Bank sold 500 lots.

Mitsubishi Estate sold 500 lots.

……

Masato Takeshita watched with satisfaction for a while, while Masayoshi Tamura performed the operation calmly.

Then I took a car to Nomura Securities and did the same thing.

At 3 p.m., when the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed, Masayoshi Tamura knocked on the door of his senior Nagano Hideaki's office. "Come in!"

"Mr. Nagano, the president of Matsumoto Manufacturing, Masato Takeshita, has started to liquidate his stock and is preparing to transfer the funds to Xinghai Investment."

"Well, I see."

Nagano Hideaki frowned slightly and waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

As early as a month ago, Masato Takeshita informed his senior Nagano at Yamaichi Securities that he was planning to transfer the funds.

But now hearing the news, Chang Ye Yingming still feels heartbroken.

Such a huge amount of funds is a big piece of cake for any securities company.

Unfortunately, I can't stop the outflow of this money at all.

"Just proceed as usual, and I'll let the board know."

"Hi!"

After watching Tamura Masayoshi leave, Nagano Hideaki murmured softly.

"Why did you choose to withdraw at the end of September? Will the stock market fall sharply in October?"

Masato Takeshita is smart, but others are not stupid either.

His actions were so sudden that it was hard not to doubt his motives.

"Well, let's sell half of it first and see how it goes."

The Japanese stock market has been soaring year after year, so many financial workers naturally choose to jump in and make more profits.

Nagano Hideaki is a typical example. Except for his house, all his funds were used to speculate in stocks.

Masato Takeshita's investment ability is obvious to all, and he decided to respect him.

This is also an important reason why young people choose to transfer their personal funds to Xinghai Investment.

He has a forward-looking vision, and the projects he invests in will attract more and more attention.

If it is still placed in a securities institution, it will be easy for securities companies to follow suit.

If only the employees are not afraid, the key is that securities companies may also follow him in buying and selling.

Once this happens, it is likely that he will have difficulty in buying and selling.

Yamaichi Securities chose to respect Masato Takeshita, while Nomura Securities was dismissive of it.

Compared with various investment institutions and individuals, they trust their own judgment more.

Of course, Nomura Securities does have this capability.

After the bubble burst, Nomura Securities not only survived well, but also got better and better.

If he had not been cheated by Wall Street, he would have had the opportunity to stay in the position of the world's largest investment bank.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Nomura Securities' investment is relatively conservative.

Even during the bubble economy era, Nomura Securities claimed that the Japanese stock market would only rise and not fall.

Its investments are actually extremely stable and safe, and it makes money mainly by collecting fees and asset mergers and acquisitions.

However, due to the frenzy in the Japanese market at that time, Nomura Securities also had a large number of stock investment projects.

But even if all these projects go bankrupt, at most it will only hurt Nomura Securities a little, and it will not affect the overall situation.

Unlike Yamaichi Securities, which is too in-depth in the stock market.

After the bubble burst, the company's main business suffered heavy losses and it had no choice but to go down the path of cultism.

Yamaichi Securities secretly signed agreements with major clients to guarantee that major clients could make profits without losses.

If there is a loss, the money of small and medium-sized customers, or the money of Yamaichi Securities, will be used to compensate for the losses of large customers.

After the incident was exposed, the reputation of Yamaichi Securities plummeted, and small and medium-sized customers simply turned elsewhere or simply withdrew from the stock fund investment field.

Without the financial support of small and medium-sized users, Yamaichi Securities’ stock trading capabilities are not good enough.

As time went on, Yamaichi Securities suffered increasing losses.

In the end, the entire company was dragged down.

It collapsed on the eve of the Asian financial crisis.
