Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 241: A Kind of Salvation

The weather in February is still chilly.

A little girl of three or four years old looked at the living room full of bags, bit her hands in confusion, and asked with her head tilted cutely.

"Dad, where are we going?"

The young father quickly squatted down and looked at his daughter with a forced smile.

"The house is being renovated, so let's rent a place outside first, okay?"

"Want to decorate? Yes, yes! I want something pink and sparkly."

The girl clapped her hands happily, her voice full of childishness.

"husband."

The wife's eyes were red and she looked at her daughter jumping and dancing with confusion.

"It's okay, let her be happy."

The husband stood up again and continued to pack his luggage reluctantly.

They are about to leave the house in front of them, leaving forever.

The girl's mother no longer paid attention to her daughter and walked to her husband unwillingly.

"Husband, will we have a chance to come back in the future?"

The young father gritted his teeth and promised: "Yes, yes. Don't worry, we can buy another house after working hard for a few years."

Although the stock market decline eventually caused him to lose his mortgaged bank home, Japan's developed economy still made him full of confidence in the future.

He firmly believed that with his own efforts, he would soon own a new house.

Time passed minute by minute, and the young couple packed up everything.

After the two put their luggage into the rented pickup truck, they looked at the empty cabin in front of them in a daze.

Although he was very reluctant and sad, the young husband still gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to our new home first."

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

The woman wiped away her tears secretly, not wanting to embarrass her husband.

However, I don’t know why, but I just can’t wipe it clean, and I feel extremely uncomfortable.

The daughter saw her mother crying and rushed over to ask, "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, it hurts so much."

The wife looked at her innocent daughter and couldn't stop crying.

She hugged her young daughter and said, "Well, don't cry, don't cry, Mommy is bewitched."

The girl naively believed it and said in a baby voice, "Mom, let me help you take a look, help you take a look."

"It's okay, I'm fine now."

The young husband's eyes turned red as he looked at his wife and daughter hugging each other.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely regretful.

Why, why should I listen to those damn stock experts in the newspaper.

Without them, there is no way I could have mortgaged the house.

But soon, the man stopped resenting outsiders and started blaming himself for not being able to resist temptation.

It's all because of my own greed.

If, if,
How nice it would be if there was no stock market.

"Let's go, let's move over early and pack up early."

"Ok, I know."

At this time, the young wife calmed down again, hugged her daughter and took a last look at the warm little home of the past.

The new place the family of three rented was a small single apartment.

The area is only about 20 square meters, and the main feature is the low rent.

"Mom, it's so small."

"Sanae, we're just renting this place for a few days."

"Yeah, I'm a good kid."

Although the spacious two-story house was repossessed by the bank and they could only rent a small apartment, they still had to live on.

So the next morning, the young husband still came to the company early.

"Sato-san, I really envy you. You must treat us tonight."

"Envy me?"

The young husband didn't understand and looked at his crazy friend in confusion.

Could it be that I’m going to get a promotion?

"you do not know?"

"I don't know what, just tell me."

Sato rubbed his hands uncomfortably, wanting to know what was going on.

Mitsuhide Kinoshita, his colleague and half-friend, looked at him curiously.

"That's not right. Didn't Xinghai Investment call you?"

"Xinghai Investment?"

Kinoshita Mitsuhide had no idea about his friend's family. He kept on nagging, "That's right. The fund we invested in together will be divided up in a few days."

"I was too cautious at first and only invested the minimum of one million. I heard that I can get at least four or five million now."

"You invested so much in the beginning, you should be able to get 20 or 30 million."

"Didn't you receive a phone call?"

"Twenty or thirty million, twenty or thirty million?"

Daisuke Sato never expected that the fund he bought at the suggestion of his wife's best friend would become the last guarantee for his family.

Even if he only has 2000 million in the end, he can still get out of his current predicament and buy a suitable house in the vicinity of Tokyo.

Although it is not as convenient as Tokyo, at least I have a home again.

"Yes, it's very happy."

"Well, I'm very happy. I didn't expect the fund to make so much money."

Sato Daisuke couldn't wait to get the money. He couldn't help but ask, "Well, my house is being renovated recently, and I'm renting a house outside now, so I didn't answer the call."

"Can you tell me what was said on the phone?"

"I see, that's what I thought." Kinoshita Mitsuhide suddenly realized, then smiled and said, "OK, no problem."

"The thing is like this..."

Xinghai Investment’s Rat Fund started in February 87.

It is now February of 90 and the three-year closure period has ended, so it is natural to liquidate and divide the money.

Sato Daisuke couldn't believe it and confirmed again: "It turns out to be like this, is there really so much money?"

Kinoshita Mitsuhide said embarrassedly: "Hey, they didn't actually tell us the exact number."

"But I often read news about Xinghai Investment and know that they made huge profits twice as early as 87."

"After more than two years of development, profitability has not decreased, if not increased."

"Don't worry, twenty or thirty million is probably conservative, I guess."

After hearing this, Sato Daisuke's heart skipped a beat.

It turns out to be speculation.

Before January this year, I was making a lot of money.

Nothing in the stock market counts unless it is confirmed.

But even though I thought this in my heart, I still held a glimmer of hope.

I hope that the Rat Fund can really make a lot of money and reduce the living pressure on my family.

When he returned home in the evening, Daisuke Sato immediately told his wife the good news.

"Really? We can buy a house in Tokyo again?"

"Forehead."

The young husband was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Well, that may be a little difficult."

"I guess we can only buy a similar one around Tokyo."

"I see. That's good too."

The wife nodded disappointedly at first, and then her tone quickly became cheerful.

She will be very happy as long as she can have her own little home again.

Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it.

...Time flies, and before we know it, it is time for the Rat Fund to officially notify investors.

Sakai Keiko asked respectfully: "President, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Masato Takeshita looked through today's reception list and shook his head, "No, this is fine now."

"We are just handing out money tonight, it doesn't matter what happens."

"understand!"

Soon, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, and the Tokyo Prince Hotel was brightly lit tonight.

Investors come here with nervousness and anticipation, hoping that the result will be good news.

Jia Benlong was looking at his own president and couldn't help but confirm again: "President, are you really not going up?"

Masato Takeshita swirled his tea and said, "No, from now on, all these face-showing things will be done by you three presidents."

He has no interest in hosting such events, which are simply for the purpose of making money and cannot promote social progress.

If it is a mobile phone or a computer, he would still be interested in taking a look.

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

Kamoto Takashi Masaichi had a serious look on his face, and no one knew what he understood.

Anyway, the young man was confused and puzzled.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as tonight’s cocktail party goes well.

When the clock struck 8, tonight's banquet officially began.

Kamoto Takamasa walked to the front of the stage and said crisply, "Hello everyone, I am Kamoto Takamasa, the president of Xinghai Investment."

After a round of applause, he straightened his back and continued, "Everyone probably knows a little bit about the returns of Xinghai Investment."

"What I want to say is that Xinghai Investment has lived up to everyone's expectations."

"In three years, our capital has grown from 500 billion to 11583.6 billion today."

"Our capital has increased 23 times, and everyone can get at least 13 times the return."

Because the Rat Fund implements a tiered profit distribution system, plus a small amount of management fees, nearly half of the profits belong to Xinghai Investment.

But even so, everyone immediately became excited.

The entire venue was in an uproar, and countless people cried with joy.

The wife, who before today was still deciding whether to buy a house in Kanagawa or Saitama, happily hugged her husband.

"Honey, we can buy a house in Tokyo again. We can buy a house in Tokyo again."

Their family initially invested 500 million, which means they can get about 7000 million.

Even after deducting some investment taxes and fees, this amount of money is enough to buy a house in Tokyo.

"Ok, I know."

The husband was also very happy, but he forced himself to calm down.

"But I think it would be better for us to reinvest half of the money and use the rest to buy or rent a house."

My daughter is still young, so it’s okay even if she just rents a house temporarily.

Rat Fund, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.

He doesn't expect to get such high returns in the future.

But even if it doubles every year, it is well worth it.

Sato Rumi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

My husband is right.

They are just an ordinary citizen family.

If you don't continue to seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to turn things around in your life.

This is the investment company of the Japanese dragon, and countless people want to get involved.

“Well, I think that’s really great.”

"Don't worry about buying a house or anything like that. It would be better if we rent a tower apartment."

"I always feel that the current hot real estate market is very abnormal, a bit like the stock market last year."

Sato Daisuke responded in approval, "Don't tell me, it does feel weird."

Japan's real estate bubble is actually bigger than its stock market.

There are at least a series of global giants in the stock market, including Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, NEC, etc.

What is there in real estate?
Like banks, they are all companies that are domineering.

Even if we attack overseas, we will always be the ones who are taken advantage of.

Only nouveau riche would buy buildings that have been rented out for decades or even hundreds of years.

It is better to rebuild this kind of building than to buy it.

The Satos envision a better tomorrow, and so do the other investors.

The president of a bankrupt company was so upset that he knelt on the ground and cried.

"Woo, woo, woo. Finally, I don't have to commit suicide. Finally, I don't have to commit suicide. My company can also reopen. Reopen."

Although he lost more than 5 billion yuan in stock trading, he relied on the million yuan order he invested in the beginning.

Not only can you pay off the bank's debt in one go, but you can also have more than 2 billion left over.

In addition, with so much money, the company can be reopened.

He was not greedy for the little money in the manufacturing industry, but he did not want his old friends to lose their jobs.

This year is different from previous years. Even if you quit your job, you can find a job quickly.

There was no way around it; Japan was facing a severe labor shortage during the bubble era.

If Xinghai Semiconductor poaches employees, it must compensate with shares.

This is all for the sake of Yasuo Tarui.

This year is different.

Although many people believed that this was a short-term technical adjustment, employee recruitment activities actually began to shrink.

Various welfare benefits for new graduates have also been reduced.

The practice of giving gifts still exists, but the practice of chartering yachts has become much less common.

As for those seeking employment in society, jobs are already very scarce.

Many young men and women like to work for a few months and then quit to travel abroad, come back to find a job when they run out of money, and then quit again after a few months.

After returning to China in February this year, I suddenly couldn’t find a suitable job.

Not to mention working in big companies, even the number of positions in convenience stores is starting to decrease.

The times are so cruel, they change at any time.

Of course, the smart ones have already vaguely realized that something is wrong and no longer work for a few months and then quit.

But there are also fools who are completely unaware of the change in wind direction and still foolishly follow the trend.

There were cries, shouts and laughter.

The whole hotel is filled with the smell of joy.

The joy of losing so much in the stock market crash,
Because of the income from the Rat Fund, they will have security in the future.

The joy that was well preserved in the stock market crash,
Because they enjoyed the fruits of victory during the bubble era.

It was not until 10 minutes later that Jia Benlong gestured for everyone to be quiet with his mouth and hands, and everyone stopped making noise.

"I know everyone here is a little impatient."

"This is the signing area."

"As long as everyone signs their names, we will start paying according to their names tomorrow."

He knows what investors want to hear most and says it straightforwardly.

Anyway, this money is of no use in the hands of the Rat Fund, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Everyone is naturally happy to get the money earlier.

But there were also calm people who suddenly shouted: "I wonder if we can still continue to invest in the new Rat Fund?"

"Yes, when will the new Rat Fund be launched?"

"Yeah, so we can prepare early."

……

They still want to make more money and want to continue to seize the opportunity of Xinghai Investment.

Jia Benlong looked at his own president, and after receiving an affirmative nod, he said in a relaxed tone, "Please rest assured."

"You are all veteran investors of Rat Fund."

"There will definitely be a share for you in the new fund."
