Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 227 The First Important Thing
The whole company's carnival lasted for more than twenty minutes before it gradually subsided.

At this time, Masato Takeshita, who had calmed down, walked to the front sincerely.

Then he turned 90 degrees and bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

"It's not hard."

“We don’t work hard.”

"It's nothing."

The employees of Xinghai Investment did not take the closure of more than two months seriously at all.

Although we can’t go out on weekdays, the company has everything and the food is great.

For some middle-aged people, they would like to do closed-door work every day.

When people reach middle age, they can't help themselves, so they soak wolfberries in the thermos.

"Thank you, thank you for your understanding."

Masato Takeshita bowed again, and then spoke in a relieved and happy tone.

"I know everyone is trying to comfort me, and I also understand the pain in some people's hearts."

"But please rest assured that the company will remember everyone's contribution and will surely give everyone a generous gift."

The neat and loud voices rang out again, and everyone was even happier.

They were all guessing in their minds how much bonus the company would give out this time.

Some new employees who have just joined the company have heard about the generous treatment received by their predecessors and are even more excited.

"Please rest assured, we won't keep you waiting too long."

"In addition, the company will take out the management fee and distribute part of the bonus to everyone in advance."

Generally speaking, hedge funds will only pay bonuses to employees after the closed period is lifted.

At the same time, the bonus is not paid in one lump sum, but in several installments.

As for how long it will take to disburse all the funds, that depends on the regulations of each fund.

Usually, the unit is years.

This is to prevent the fund's top performers from being poached by other funds.

Xinghai Investment mainly relies on Masato Takeshita, so there is naturally no need to use bonuses to retain employees.

Therefore, Xinghai Investment will not only pay bonuses at the end of the fund's closed period, but also pay bonuses after completing the task.

Having a vision that transcends the times is just that kind of confidence.

"Great."

"Hey, now I can buy the latest computer."

"I'll send out a portion first. I wonder how much I can get?"

"Well, the money should be reinvested into the company's employee fund."

After hearing that bonuses would be paid out in a few days, the employees became even happier.

While they were looking forward to it in their minds, they couldn't help but share this joy with those around them.

If the timing was right, everyone would be eager to celebrate again.

Masato Takeshita actually had the same idea, so he simply said, "I think everyone must be getting impatient."

"Well, no more nonsense then."

"The cafeteria has prepared a celebratory meal."

"I hope everyone can enjoy their meal and have fun next time."

"Thank you!"

After saying this, the young man bowed for the third time.

Then, amid thunderous applause from the employees, he took the initiative to open the office door and led the way to the cafeteria.

The celebration banquet was extremely extravagant.

Not only does it have Japan's most expensive Wagyu beef and the Japanese's favorite bluefin tuna, but it also has many precious products from all over the world.

For example, French red wine, British whiskey, German beer...

In short, we not only seek the best, but also the most expensive.

The average cost of food and beverages per person is calculated at 150 million yen.

That is to say, one meal cost more than 2 million yen, or more than 200 million US dollars.

Of course, the main reason why it’s so expensive is the alcohol.

Masato Takeshita doesn't drink it, but he won't stop people who like it from enjoying it.

"Are you really not going to eat some? It's delicious."

Takashi Yoshimoto was walking towards his guild leader with a glass of wine in his hand, and temptingly took out a piece of tuna sushi.

"No, I can't eat it."

Interestingly, young people don't like to eat raw fish.

But when he watched videos, he actually liked those on how to make sashimi.

The chef's ability to handle fish is smooth and flowing, with the beauty of butchering an ox.

The young man didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he simply changed the subject.

"By the way, how much bonus do you think we should give out first?"

"How much is the prize money?"

Jia Benlong was pinching his chin. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "I think it can't be less than 500 million."

"If it's too little, it's better not to send it."

Something like a bonus, even if it is paid in installments, has to be shocking enough the first time.

If the number is too small, employees will easily become disappointed, which will in turn affect their work enthusiasm.

Many people in later generations advocated the so-called wolf culture, but only a few companies such as Huawei achieved success.

The most important thing is that Huawei pays sufficient bonuses and salaries.

Your hard work can get you relatively matched generous rewards.

The kind of behavior where company leaders just shout slogans and then change yachts after a while.

It may fool some people at first.

But soon, everyone will see through it.

By then, the entire company will be shrouded in negative emotions, and employees will become lazy intentionally or unintentionally.

The company slowly died.

"That makes sense, so let's start with a minimum of 2000 million yen."

Now, Xinghai Investment's management fees alone amount to over 100 billion yen each year.

Spending tens or hundreds of billions first is not a big deal.

"2000 million yen, I'm sure everyone will be very happy."

2000 million yen is a considerable sum of money at any time.

Especially for college graduates from ordinary families, it is a huge fortune.

They can even use the money to take out a loan to buy a house in Tokyo.

Of course, it is basically impossible for employees of Xinghai Investment to choose to enter the real estate market at this time.

If a fool really enters, he will definitely be marginalized by the company in the future.

Because senior leaders, including Masato Takeshita, have repeatedly hinted that there are problems in Japan's housing market.

Especially the meeting a few days ago, it was almost made clear.

If he continues to insist on entering the company, the company will naturally not allow him to do important things.

He was worried that if things went wrong, this guy would become the weaker one and defeat the stronger one.

He himself doesn't care, the key is the possibility of huge losses.

Don't think a small employee can't do it.

In the financial field, the destructive power of small employees can also be very strong.

The most typical example is the sports students in the Celestial Empire in the previous life.

Directly expose the materials of a company that wants to go public, causing the company to fail in its listing.

Of course, the top leaders are the most lethal.

Many companies have declined or even gone bankrupt because their leaders lack insight into the future.

After discussing the bonus distribution for a while, Jia Benlongzheng suddenly asked, "President, should we still take the initiative to advertise in the newspaper?"

"No, let's just let things take their own course this time."

In fact, Masato Takeshita wanted to keep it strictly confidential.

Because after the bubble economy burst, other companies were losing money, but you made a huge fortune. How would the big financial groups think, how would the government officials think, how would the big companies think, how would the ordinary people think...

Although going long is not as offensive as going short, who knows what these people will think.

Besides, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

If you meet someone who is unreasonable, even if you can resolve the problem, it is easy to get into trouble.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be kept secret.

Even if the employees are extremely tight-lipped, they cannot hide it from those in the financial field who have ulterior motives.

The recent closure policy of Xinghai Investment and the recent exaggerated selling volume of the market have aroused the vigilance of financial practitioners.

Even if they don't know for the time being that it was Xinghai Investment who did it, they will soon come to their senses.

"understand!"

The next morning, Masato Takeshita had someone come to Xinghai Investment early with the cash he had just withdrawn from the bank.

"This, this is all money?"

Cash is always powerful.

The fresh graduates who had not experienced this scene stared in amazement at the pile of banknotes in front of them, unable to believe their eyes.

It’s not that they are unsophisticated, it’s just that the pile of banknotes is too impactful.

This is a mountain of money made up of more than 15000 copies, 100 Fukuzawa Yukichi notes in each stack.

No matter who you are, you will be mesmerized when you see it for the first time.

"Yes, it's all in cash. It's also our first bonus."

The old employees who had experienced it still felt shocked, but they no longer felt disbelief.

What they have in mind is more of an expectation, the hope that they can get more bonuses.

“Is this the first payment?”

"Of course, we are Xinghai Investment."

Old employees are proud of the company and feel fortunate to be able to join such a strong company.

The new employees did not feel it deeply before, but now they can truly feel the wealth of Xinghai Investment.

If you pay like this, the only people who won’t be loyal are those who are born to be rebellious.

"This is the first batch of bonuses after the work is completed, a total of 150 billion yen."

"This batch of bonuses will be distributed more evenly, and the minimum amount can be 2000 million yen."

As soon as Masato Takeshita finished speaking, the conference room was immediately filled with continuous and loud applause.

Whether they are graduates who joined this year or old hands who have worked for one or two years, they are all extremely excited.

They never thought that they could get so much from the scraps of their company.

You have to know that before, they only did simple jobs such as serving tea, cleaning and collecting information.

These employees, who occupy more than 80% of the positions in the company, have only one thought in their minds at this moment.

It is such a blessing to be able to join Xinghai Investment.

My classmates may not be able to get this much even after ten years.

Of course, this is normal.

On the one hand, Japanese employees have relatively average salaries.

The leadership level is just above tens of millions, which is only a few times more than the ordinary employees.

On the other hand, Xinghai Investment is a hedge fund.

Therefore, the employees we recruit are all students from top universities around the world.

And as the number of positions decreases, only students from the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and Waseda University will be recruited in Japan.

Among them, students from Waseda University still relied on backdoor admissions.

The talents recruited are top-notch, so naturally their remuneration must be maximized.

After all, although Xinghai Investment has the general guidance of Masato Takeshita, the specific operations still depend on the execution of employees.

And things like stocks fluctuate every day.

Good employees can take advantage of this volatile nature of the stock market.

Sell more at the high point every day.

When the stock price drops to a low point, various operations are carried out to buy a small amount to push up the stock price again.

Then sell more stocks near the highs.

It may not be obvious once or twice, but after doing it many times, you will become a good stock trader.

At least it can increase the company's profits by more than 10%, and at most it can increase it by more than 100%.

Such a small bonus right now is nothing at all.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages.

Employees of Xinghai Investment earn a lot of money, so the elimination rate is naturally high.

Players who cannot grasp the peak and find the right high point will be cleared out by the company.

Of course, because of the Japanese rule that you can't fire employees.

These employees will be transferred to Xinghai Investment’s sister company.

It’s different from being disliked at Xinghai Investment.

Companies like Xinghai Semiconductor will even fight for these top students.

These people are not suitable for the financial field, but that doesn’t mean they are not suitable for other businesses.

They are all top-notch talents in science and engineering, and can greatly enhance the company's R&D capabilities.

That’s right, Xinghai Investment mainly recruits graduates from science and engineering.

This is also a characteristic of top financial companies.

Because in the final analysis, finance is simply a game of mathematics and computers.

Those top students who studied finance are not suitable at all.

Of course, well-known financial giants such as Goldman Sachs will recruit a large number of finance graduates.

This is because the treatment of Goldman Sachs graduates is relatively average, far less than that of hedge funds.

At the same time, Goldman Sachs is recruiting a lot of people, and naturally they want graduates from all fields.

In addition, Goldman Sachs actually focuses on sales business.

So when it comes to logical thinking, I’m not that extreme.

Goldman Sachs prefers to recruit graduates with good background and resources.

In this way, the company can more easily obtain listing projects and make a lot of wealth from them.

However, for ordinary financial practitioners, investment banks like Goldman Sachs are already the best careers.

As for the crown hedge fund in finance, that is a place I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Faced with employees whose faces were full of desire, Masato Takeshita did not waste any time.

He simply said: "I think everyone can't wait."

"Then I won't talk nonsense."

"Start giving out money now!"

This time, the young man did not wait for the applause to die down naturally.

He pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to keep quiet.

It would take him a long time to pay out such a large sum of money and he couldn't delay it for too long.

The first to receive the bonus were ordinary employees, who received the lowest bonus of 2000 million.

"Kyuchi-san, this is yours. I hope you can become the company's operator as soon as possible."

Kuchi Ichiro bowed confidently in return and said, "Thank you, I will."

Next in line are traders with lesser skills, each of whom will receive a bonus of 3000 million.

Next are traders with average skills, each of whom will receive a bonus of 4000 million.

Next are the company’s middle-level management and traders with above-average technical skills, each of whom will receive a bonus of 5000 million.

Then there are the company's senior management and top-notch traders, each of whom will receive a bonus of 1 million yuan.

Finally, the company’s four biggest players and top technical traders will each receive a bonus of 5 million.

Of course, the trader’s bonus is not completely fixed and will fluctuate.

The more money you make for the company, the more you get.

This can better promote the enthusiasm of traders, so that two employees of the same level but with different earnings do not receive the same amount of bonus.

Stock traders seem to make money by taking commissions.
