Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 167 Black Friday

"President Takeshita, I have accomplished your mission!"

"Well, transfer it to Xinghai Investment Account."

"Yes!"

Masayoshi Tamura was reluctant, but he had to transfer all the funds.

Masato Takeshita was very optimistic about Masayoshi Tamura's talent, and seeing that he was in a dilemma, he simply made a suggestion.

"Brother, do you want to come to my place?"

"Go to Xinghai to invest?"

"Yes."

Masayoshi Tamura was a little tempted, but after thinking about his position at Yamaichi Securities, he finally declined with reluctance.

"No, I'm still used to working in a securities company."

Xinghai Investment is indeed good, but he would rather stay in an investment bank.

He is a person who likes stability. Hedge funds do make more money, but most hedge funds have a short lifespan and are far less safe than investment banks.

"Well, that's not bad."

Masato Takeshita thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea for his senior brother to stay in the company.

He has ambitions for the securities company, and his senior brother staying in Yamaichi Securities may be able to help him in the future.

After Yamaichi Securities completed the remittance, Nomura Securities also completed it.

After all the funds were gathered at Xinghai Investment, Masato Takeshita immediately ordered Kayo Asano to organize the relevant information.

Masato Takeshita looked at the report information above and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Finance is indeed the easiest way to get rich quickly."

Relying on various leverages and loans, Xinghai Investment’s three funds.

The assets of the Rat Fund reached US$31.5 billion; the assets of the Ox Fund reached US$23.9 billion; and the assets of the Tiger Fund also reached US$23.7 billion.

As for Masato Takeshita's personal investment, he did not use various leverages.

After deducting various expenses and loans, the growth was about 70%, with a profit of 8.6 million US dollars.

"No, I can't let greed control me."

Masato Takeshita shook his head and dismissed the idea of leveraging his own funds.

Although the risk is small, he is already a rich man, and the most important thing is to seek stability.

This is like why future tech giants like Bill Gates, Bezos, etc. prefer to buy farms and land rather than continue holding their own company's stocks.

Because technology giants can easily be disrupted by new technologies, while farmland is a century-old industry that can be passed down steadily to future generations.

So even if people know that their own company is likely to appreciate in value, they still prefer to cash out and buy a farm.

The founders of China's Internet giants in later generations also followed the example of their American counterparts.

For example, Pony Ma of Penguin often cashes out.

Judging from the stock price growth, the founders of these technology giants have basically suffered huge losses.

Take Bill Gates as an example. When Microsoft first went public, he held nearly half of the shares.

If we wait until 2024, the market value of these shares will exceed one trillion US dollars.

But there is no way, they are all mortals, not time travelers.

If Bill Gates knew that Microsoft's market value would soar to trillions, he would definitely reduce the speed at which he sold his shares.

As for not selling, that is impossible.

In the United States, except Wall Street, no other individual or institution can have a monopoly.

If you don't want to commit suicide by being shot eight times in the back, you have to keep cashing out even if you know the stock price will rise sharply.

You can only keep them if you don't hold many shares.

This is the law of business in the United States.

It's completely different in Japan. For many companies, the government will be very supportive even if you own 100% of the shares.

For example, in several large conglomerates, some families hold long-term controlling stakes of more than 10%.

The company holds such a large amount of cash, and Masato Takeshita is not anxious yet, but the fund manager under his company is anxious first.

"President, where is our new investment direction?"

Masato Takeshita looked at the three people who came with him, Kamoto Ryumasa, and said calmly: "Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."

"Let the bullets fly for a while, what do you mean?"

The three of them didn't get what Masato Takeshita was saying at all, and their eyes became even more confused.

Masato Takeshita cursed himself as a fool in his heart, then explained with a smile: "I think the stock market may have a correction. We will invest after the correction is over."

"I see."

Kikuno Shinji nodded in understanding, then raised his head again and asked, "President, what are you going to do with the new funds you remitted? Do you need to arrange it in the company's fund?"

"No need. We will set up three new funds to manage this money. The names are..."

Masato Takeshita was a little stuck for a moment, but after thinking about it, he simply called it by the name of his favorite Song Dynasty poetry tune.

"Let's call them Linjiangxian, Qingyu'an, and Dielianhua."

"Not named after the Chinese zodiac?"

"Well, these three funds do not raise external funds, so the zodiac ranking will not continue."

This money belonged to Masato Takeshita himself, but he gave it to Xinghai Investment to operate it on his behalf and continue to take a safe route.

----

More than ten days passed in a flash, and the unexpected black swan event, the famous 1987 US Black Friday stock market crash, still broke out on October 10.

The capitalist world market has long been connected as an integrated whole, and the sharp drop in the US stock market quickly spread to Japan.

The Japanese stock market is bleak.

The situation inside Xinghai Investment was completely the opposite, with a scene of great joy.

The company completely avoided the stock market crash and made no losses but instead made huge profits.

"Is this the strength of the president? Too strong."

"Yeah, it's too strong. This is all predictable."

"Terrible, is this a genius?"

There were originally a small number of employees who were dissatisfied with the choice of their own president.

Because before the stock market crash, the Japanese stock market was rising every day.

In just over ten days, Xinghai Investment lost tens of millions of dollars in profits.

But now, all the noise within the company has disappeared.

Everyone has the same idea in mind, so don't question the genius investment choice.

The reason why a genius is a genius is that he does things in a very unconventional way, making it impossible for people to understand the rules.

"Didn't everyone already know that the president is an investment genius?"

Among the three giants, Masao Nagasawa admired Masato Takeshita the most, and basically regarded the young man's words as imperial decrees.

I don't understand everyone's doubts at all.

In his mind, it was natural for his president to discover the stock market crash, and it would be strange if he didn't.

People within Xinghai Investment increasingly admire Masato Takeshita, and they know that his investment choices, Yamaichi Securities and Nomura Securities, are in a similar situation.

"Hiss, thank goodness."

Nagano Hideaki couldn't help but feel fortunate that he chose to follow the tactics, and fortunately he sold more than half of the stocks early on.

And when the stock price plummeted, he chose to sell out his stocks immediately without much hesitation.

If he still had it in his hand, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The same was true for Masayoshi Tamura. After receiving the news of the stock market crash, the first thing he thought of was Masato Takeshita's liquidation behavior.

"Amazing! The timing is perfect."

I cleared out my inventory at the end of September and the stock price plummeted in October.

In the absence of inside information, extremely strong data analysis and judgment capabilities are required.
