Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

Riko must have practiced many times in secret.

Today, he should have been looking for struggling game studios to recruit programmers, but Ezaki was in a hurry to cooperate on a supermarket supply chain project and wanted to transfer Fukai Ichiro, the chairman of Yamaho Foreign Trade Company.

The three pieces of information haven't changed yet, so it's clear that Ezaki hasn't started yet.

At 9:30, Hideaki opened the door to Ayako's house.

The living room has been completely transformed.

The central area, which originally housed a European-style sofa and a glass tea table, has now been moved two meters to the left, closer to the kitchen, creating a passageway.

On the other side of the corridor, an office area was created.

Next to the bathroom wall, there was a rectangular table and a large screen.

The screen displays countless tiny red and green stock price numbers, with flashing candlestick charts below them.

Under the table was the desktop computer tower, and the telephone line connected to the modem had been tidied up and bundled together.

Next to the rectangular table, directly opposite the monitor, was a huge wooden desk, behind which sat a black leather sofa.

Jiang Qi was dressed in a neat black women's suit and trousers. He was sitting upright on the sofa behind the desk, holding a knife and fork, cutting a slice of bread with strawberry jam on his plate.

The red handprint on her face had become a single patch, and her entire face was swollen.

Ezaki lay on the floor until after 4 a.m. last night, but couldn't fall asleep because he felt unwell.

I sat alone in the dark room for over an hour, lost in thought.

I've roughly sorted out the issues regarding future collaborations with Xiuming.

The first thing: transfer 100 million yen to him.

My intention was to test his trading skills.

I was swayed by his idea of ​​shorting the Nikkei index on June 1st, so to test his ability to manipulate large sums of money, I gave him 6 million yen, which didn't seem like a huge amount.

But last night I found out that my bank account had been frozen by my father, and I had no cash left. This would put me in a very passive position if something unexpected happened, so I had to find a reason to get some money back.

The second matter: the issue of cooperation in the development of Pokémon games.

Xiuming made it clear that he did not want to have any involvement with gangs involved in criminal activities.

Meanwhile, I am also looking for projects that will completely transform my life.

While it's uncertain whether this game will be popular, the gaming industry is still a promising sector.

Moreover, his proposed plan is very practical and specific, and we can assume it's a project that could become a huge hit.

At that time, his "Mountain Alliance" can completely shift its focus to the animation, game, and film and entertainment industries, which will not only get rid of the predicament of not making ends meet, but also eliminate the need to engage in the gray industry.

Therefore, before engaging in in-depth cooperation with him, it is necessary to eliminate all the illegal activities that the "Shanhe Group" is currently engaged in, so as to avoid any problems arising in the backyard that would make the project difficult to cooperate with.

The third matter: the supply chain cooperation issue of "Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket".

This is both the easiest and the hardest thing to do right now. As long as we transfer Fukai Ichiro away from "Yamagai Foreign Trade", we can directly sign a cooperation agreement with Hideaki.

Moreover, once the cooperation agreement is signed, a portion of the 100 million yen transferred to his account can be used to open a large number of "Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket" branches.

I have both people and money. If you keep refusing me, I'll open my own "Ezaki 100-Yen Supermarket" and leave you starving.

Tomorrow morning, as the group leader, I'll first send a "transfer plan for Fukai Ichiro" to the organization's veterans and see how Fukai Ichiro reacts.

After organizing all her plans, she found a silk scarf in Ayako's room, covered her face with it, and then drove home to pack her real-time stock trading equipment.

With so much stuff, one person couldn't handle it all, so we hired a moving company.

While the movers were busy, they woke Ayako up, and then she stared intently at Ezaki's face with a grin.

Ezaki couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged Ayako into the room and slapped her on the buttocks twice, and she behaved herself.

She'll cook if you ask her to, and I don't care about her grumbling or complaining.

"Have you eaten?" Ezaki picked up the last slice of bread from the white plate with his fork and put it in his mouth. "Ayako is cooking in the kitchen. If you haven't eaten, you can ask her to get you another serving."

"Ate."

Xiuming was looking at the stock display screen. He gave a casual reply and then sat down in the chair next to the long table.

It is a low-resolution color CRT monitor.

The densely packed numbers, the constantly decreasing green and the occasional rising red, are like Schrödinger's numbers, making them unpredictable.

Futures market, real-time data from the Osaka Stock Exchange, real-time exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar...

Since the Nikkei 225 index fell below 20000 points in 1990, it has not returned to 20,000 points. However, in the first half of the year, it always shows a tendency to rebound. This puts stock traders in a market environment of panic, pessimism and high uncertainty, which puts them under great pressure.

However, it will plummet after this month.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange stock price index, as well as industry sector indices and real-time quotes for major stocks, such as Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Toyota Motor, Sony, and Panasonic.

Xiuming found "Ichiwa Securities" among the densely packed stock price columns of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's First Section.

The current stock price is 88 yen, and Hideaki is stunned.

Hideaki, who attempted suicide, borrowed seven million yen to buy 14,000 shares, which were priced at over 500 at the time.

When Hideaki committed suicide by jumping off the building, the stock price had fallen to 160, and his assets were still 2.3 million yen.

Now it has shrunk by half again, leaving only 120 million yen. Moreover, there has been almost no trading volume for three consecutive days, and no one is buying Ichiwa Securities' stock anymore.

It's only been a week since I traveled to this point, right?

Yihe Securities is a mess, it's about to go bankrupt!

"Honey, I want to invest in stocks too."

Ayako, carrying a tray and leaning on a metal cane, walked out of the kitchen and glared fiercely at Ezaki. "Let's settle this once and for all. Besides having a better figure than you, I'm also better at making money!"

"Your butt is too soft, you should practice squats more!"

Ezaki picked up a sheet of paper with "Yamagai Foreign Trade" written on it, inserted it into the fax machine, glanced back at Ayako, whose face was flushed red, with disdain, and then pressed the send button.

"Wait a minute!" Xiuming flipped over the long table and pulled out the printer paper.

Chapter 84 Entering the Market for Learning

Esaki looked at Hideaki with a half-smile.

"What business is it of yours what I do with my organization's internal affairs? Are you trying to join my organization?"

Hideaki ignored her provocative gaze; the document in his hand was indeed the resolution and plan to transfer Fukai Ichiro away from Yamagai Foreign Trade.

The reasons were written quite frankly, and the general idea was:

Ezaki has found a promising "chain store" with whom he will engage in deeper cooperation in the future, freeing him from the high-risk activities involving drugs, firearms, and human organs.

Organizational laundering and transformation are imperative.

Given that Ichiro Fukai has repeatedly failed to correct his mistakes, he has been suspended from his position as chairman of Yamaha Foreign Trade and appointed as store manager of the Night Paris Pachinko parlor.

Her personal seal and signature were also added to it.

“Once your resolution and plan are released, they will definitely unite to oppose it. How could a small supermarket possibly care about the freight costs? Moreover, there is a 90% chance that Fukai Ichiro will use the suspension of payment to put pressure on you. Didn’t you say that the real successor should be Kitaro, and you are just the acting team leader? Besides, you still have a slap mark on your face, so you can’t personally take charge to intimidate others.”

According to the order of the three pieces of information, Ezaki first issued a notice, then Fukai Ichiro refused to cooperate, then Ezaki fell into financial difficulties, and then she started demanding 50 million yen from him.

Ezaki touched his right cheek and fell into deep thought.

Although the organization had a strict hierarchy, and subordinates were required to obey their superiors' orders, everyone remained outwardly polite during her temporary tenure.

However, to a large extent, it is because their core interests have not been touched. Although the personnel transfer intention of "Yamahe Foreign Trade" is just a test, it may be true, as Hideaki said, that Fukai Ichiro is using the suspension of payment to exert pressure.

The most frustrating thing is that half of the organization's welfare funds are provided by "Shanhe Foreign Trade".

Hideaki folded the printed paper twice, put it in his shirt pocket, and casually asked, "Should we cut ties with Fukai Ichiro and send him to prison?"

According to Ezaki, as long as Fukai Ichiro leaves Yamagai Foreign Trade, the entire shipping route will be restored to normal.

As for sending him to prison, they'll definitely have to catch him at the scene of a criminal transaction. He probably won't cooperate, and he might get shot to death...

"You want me to break my promise?" Jiang Qi said, waving his hand. "Our organization's internal affairs are none of the police's business."

"What's the point of talking about integrity with him? He's incorrigible, treating human life like dirt, showing no regard for human life, using drugs, guns, and even human organs. His crimes are heinous, and he doesn't consider the sustainable development of the organization at all. He'll drag you down with him."

I really want to report it anonymously, but the problem is, if the police shut it down, the foreign trade company won't be under my control either.

“Don’t talk to me about this anymore,” Ezaki said, feeling that he was about to be swayed if they continued. He took a handwritten business card from his pocket and tossed it onto the table in front of Hideaki. “The market has been open for over an hour. Hurry up and do your thing, let me see your skills. I know Ms. Tachibana very well, call her.”

The business card had a handwritten phone number: Tachibana Mitsukko, a securities trader at the Tokyo Stock Exchange's First Division.

At this moment, the three pieces of information displayed after locking onto Ezaki also changed.

[During some time before 12:9 PM, Yoko Ezaki will claim that you lack trading skills due to your trapped shares in "Ichiwa Securities," and will demand 500 million yen from you.]

[Sometime between 12:00 and 12:00, Yoko Ezaki will sell 300,000 shares of Matsuba Bank stock.]

[Yoko Ezaki will be visiting your massage parlor sometime between 12 PM and the next few hours.]

Hideaki was preparing to open a stock account in Ayako's name to prevent Ezaki from using the "Ichiwa Securities" account in his own account as a pretext to demand funds.

She suddenly leaned closer, a smile in her eyes, and said, "Remember that person who borrowed 7 million yen to buy 14,000 shares of 'Ichiwa Securities' stock? How much is left now?"

When Ezaki took over Hideaki's loan, he had already checked Hideaki's information.

"Since it's someone else, it has nothing to do with me. The 100 million yen you transferred to me can only be used for profit sharing." Hideaki said without changing her expression. Anyway, she would sell 300,000 shares of stock, so she wouldn't be short of money.

He then picked up the telephone and Tachibana Mitsukō's business card, and handed them to Ayako. "Call this Ms. Tachibana and have her open a 100 million yen account with your bank account. I'll teach you how to speculate."

Ayako stood there, holding the phone in one hand and a business card in the other, looking dazed.

Jiang Qi said incredulously, "She's a complete novice who doesn't know anything, and you're telling her to open an account and buy stocks? Are you crazy?"

Ayako swallowed hard and whispered, "Isn't this a bit too fast? I've never bought stocks before, and besides, I don't have any money..."

Hideaki pointed at Ezaki and said, "She has money, and with real money invested in practice, she learns much faster."

One million yen is nothing compared to one hundred million yen.

Demo trading always pays out.

Only through firsthand experience and analysis of market conditions can one quickly determine their own talent and abilities.

The stock market is constantly changing and unpredictable. If you can't make money, don't keep going in.

In short, let Ayako open an account first, and then we'll buy together when the market opens in the afternoon.
