In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

"Damn dog dealer, these bastards must be taking advantage of the situation to clean up the market and try to steal our bloody chips."

"Oh! I should have bought shipping stocks earlier. With the exchange rate rising, the cost of imported oil will be reduced, which will definitely boost the automobile and shipping industries."

"Really? I knew the market might fall today, but I couldn't control my greed!"

"Don't worry, the overall trend is still bullish. Just don't sell at a loss. The price will rise again sooner or later after the negative news is digested."

"That being said, I had originally decided to take the kids to Hawaii for a vacation during spring break."

“…”

"I have to go have a drink tonight to get rid of the bad luck!"

"..."

The market is bleak.

The money-losing guys in major securities business departments also started cursing because of this.

Selling millions of dollars and losing one month's income in one day would be a bad feeling for everyone.

Some people complained about the central bank's interest rate hike, while others cursed the dog market for being so abominable.

Watching these people cursing.

I don’t know why, but I don’t feel angry at all. Instead, I feel really good.

Am I suffering from masochism?

It feels so good to be scolded!

Grinning.

Nagano Nao was smiling happily.

It’s not easy to be the protagonist, only the villain is happy!

It seems like I have the potential to be a villain!

"Hello Akamoto-kun, this is the Financial Investment Department of Osaka Asset Management."

"Recently our company launched a new financial product."

“…”

“If you think about it, there are thousands of individual stocks, and even if the market goes up, not all stocks will go up.”

“With this product, as long as the market goes up, you can get equal returns.”

"..."

"It's down a bit today, isn't it a good time to buy?"

"..."

Return to the company.

As soon as Nao Nagano arrived at the lobby, he heard the sales department staff chatting with customers.

Insurance company!

The main business is still insurance. Even if it is betting against Wall Street, it can only act as a platform but cannot actually bet against it.

Just like Goldman Sachs, even if it holds large-scale Nikkei put warrants, it cannot keep these things in its hands. Countless experiences have proved that if you don’t control risks, you will lose miserably sooner or later.

The only way for the financial market to survive is to trade risks and make real money.

What is real gold and silver?

In human terms, it's a fee, not a bet.

Therefore, the company split the put warrants sold to Wall Street into countless separate products and then sold them in packages to some small companies or customers.

Sales are booming.

After all, a rise in the overall market does not mean that individual stocks will rise. This kind of investment that can see the stock price rise by buying warrants has a much greater probability of making money.

Ordinary people simply cannot access top-level information.

At this time, most ordinary people still hold the dream of the stock market reaching 50,000 points.

It's six o'clock.

Kurata Hiri brought over the sales statistics from the business department.

As an investment institution under Nippon Life Insurance, its credibility has always been top-notch.

In addition, this was a good business that could lock in extreme performance, the employees were very diligent, and sales reached 40%.

perfect!

Five percent handling fee.

This is real money in commission!

It means that the bonus has been received, and you just need to wait to go shopping when the money is distributed!

At night.

As is customary, major listed companies have disclosed some information to investors.

NTT has increased its joint venture with China Telecom, with a total investment of US$30 billion.

Following its Malaysian branch, TDK is now developing an investment plan with the Chiang Mai authorities in Thailand. It is expected to increase overseas industrial investment in the next two years to reduce corporate labor costs.

Canon said that in order to reduce corporate costs, it will invest 100 billion yen to build a branch in Dalian.

Sony Corporation expects to increase its cooperation projects with South Korea's Samsung and plans to invest 30 billion yen to launch new technological cooperation.

Nikon's photolithography machine breaks new...

MITI Structural Committee White Paper 21 Outlook for the World Economic Situation......

......

Watching the messy news.

This information is combined to form a graph.

obviously.

Due to rising labor costs, major companies have passively or actively made direct investments in Southeast Asia, with the primary purpose of transferring projects that are too expensive to produce to Southeast Asia.

The production of these labor-intensive and mature products gradually shifted to Southeast Asia: the assembly factories there produced finished products such as televisions and VCRs mainly for the US and European markets; while the component factories supplied assembly factories in Asia and also supplied low-cost parts to local Japanese manufacturers.

This formed a regional production alliance, which enabled Japan to systematically enhance its competitiveness in the world market while also promoting the industrialization of Southeast Asia.

The formation of such a strategy is controlled by the "flock of geese" model promoted by former Japanese Foreign Minister Okumi Takeo.

Japan is the leader of the team, followed by the newly industrialized economies of East Asia, then the ASEAN countries, and finally India.

70% of official development assistance invested in Asia, private credit from banks, direct investment from companies and trade have all become tools coordinated by Japan to create a Pacific Asian economic zone that is closely linked to and controlled by it.

Southeast Asia then first became the production and export base of "Greater Japan" planned by Tokyo.

The assembly plants and component suppliers are distributed to different countries, which is conducive to the establishment of factories engaged in large-scale operations. The economic alliance that ASEAN countries have never formed has been established by Japan: this is to combine the national economies of ASEAN countries into an integrated economic zone.

Finally, the Four Asian Dragons and the Four Asian Tigers were born.

There is no doubt that the regional production alliance formed throughout East Asia has enabled Japan to systematically enhance its competitiveness in the world market while also promoting the industrialization of Southeast Asia.

But at the same time, due to the lack of upstream cutting-edge technology and competitiveness, such an economic system is completely a labor-intensive industrial economic zone attached to Japan.

In human terms, the so-called Four Little Dragons and Four Little Tigers mainly rely on the demographic dividend and squeeze the production capacity of the lower classes to provide blood transfusions for Japan.

The so-called Asian miracle is nothing more than a form of capital flow.

Besides Japan, there is another Japan!

Watching major financial groups making overseas strategic investments, the meaning of this sentence is now clear.

However, the large-scale flow of capital to overseas development will inevitably drain blood from the local market. It goes without saying that the stock market has been completely abandoned.

Because stocks, apart from academic issues, are actually just a tool for gaming.

Its rise and fall are essentially still within the scope of supply and demand.

The supply is small and the demand is large, the market chips become scarce, and funds want to buy more stocks, so the price will inevitably rise.

same.

When demand is small, there are more chips in the market, and more chips are sold, prices will inevitably fall.

On the other hand, the supply and demand relationship in the stock market is different because the stock market belongs to the capital market, where capital often determines prices and prices determine demand.

Therefore, the rise and fall of stock prices is essentially just a game and has nothing to do with the company's performance prospects.

Especially in a closed financial market like Japan, the stock market has always been just a monetary policy tool in the hands of the Ministry of Finance and the central bank.

Now, the industrial structures of major financial groups are being adjusted outwards. Now that it has started, they will definitely increase their efforts to cash out in the stock market. One can guess with one's butt that the market is going to be doomed.

the next day.

Naoyo Nagano focused all his attention on the stock market.

Just arrived at Sanhe Securities Sales Department.

A group of old investors gathered together to talk about the market.

There are full-time housewives and middle-aged men in suits and ties. All of them are dressed gorgeously and should be middle-class people with some wealth.

"Have you seen the news released by Sony yesterday, Pingu-kun?"

"Of course, with such a large investment, the stock price will definitely go up today!"

"Recently, many companies have been increasing their overseas investments. I think there will be a big market trend!"

"..."

Listening to such discussions.

Nagano Nao shook his head secretly.

These idiots don't even think about where the money for overseas investment comes from. If you don't contribute, where will they get the money for overseas investment?

A bunch of money-losing bastards!

really.
