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

"Nagano-kun, please drink this cup. It's rare that you have come from afar today, so you must enjoy yourself!"

"..."

Drinking table culture.

It's even more rampant in this crappy place called Japan.

After drinking two jars of rice wine brewed by the Iue family and a lot of other liquor, Nagano Nao was drunk by this family.

"If you control oil, you control all countries. If you control food, you control all of humanity. Iue-san... you have advanced processing technology... I have funds that can be invested... Let's control humanity together!"

"Nagano-kun's ambition is really exciting. Just imagining it makes me feel like I have endless energy. But this question about equity distribution..."

"The Iue family will provide the technology, and I'll provide the funds... So... How about I'll be the sixth and the Iue family will be responsible for production and sales?"

"Ah! This is really too much!"

"Does Iue-san look down on me?"

"..."

Drunk as hell.

Nao Nagano determined the equity distribution by slapping his thigh at the dinner table.

Wait until you wake up the next day.

Iue Ryouta looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Straight man, you are such a boaster. 100 billion, where can you get so much money?"

"Of course I'm selling my body! Being a gigolo is very profitable nowadays!"

"What? You said something so shameful. Did you really sell yourself out to Ikeda-kun?"

"Idiot, I was just saying that. The stock market is doing so well right now, so of course I'm going to make a fortune in the stock market."

"The stock market is doing well? Straight man, haven't you been paying attention to the market recently? I think things are not looking good!"

“…”

A falling market is also a good market!

Nagano Naoio did not explain this topic.

After taking the Shinkansen back to Kobe, I called Yuri Kojima, the head of the investment department of Sanwa Bank.

After a secret conversation, the two men agreed on a total return swap agreement.

The so-called Total Return Swap, in simple terms, means that the buyer of the credit protection transfers the total return of the reference asset to the seller of the credit protection during the agreement period. The total return can include principal, interest, prepaid expenses and capital gains due to favorable changes in asset prices;

In exchange, the insurance seller promises to deliver to the other party a specified percentage of the appreciation of the contracted assets, usually LIBOR plus a margin, as well as capital losses resulting from adverse changes in asset prices.

This is a financial term.

In simple terms, Nagano Nao and Sanwa Bank entered into a stock lending agreement, and it was a leveraged financing agreement.

According to the agreement itself.

Nao Nagano paid 10,000 yen, and Sanwa Bank allocated 50,000 yen of group holding shares to him as chips to sell. According to the financial risk trading interest rate, Nao Nagano paid a certain short-term borrowing interest every day.

These stocks are sold by Sanwa Bank. If the price rises and the loss reaches the risk control line, Nagano Nao will lose all the money.

If money is made, the profits belong to Nagano Nao, and he will be paid a certain percentage of the profits.

There is no doubt that such an agreement is a sure win for banks.

Because the bank itself does not have to bear any risks and can earn interest steadily. If Nagano Nao loses money, he will be responsible for it himself. If he makes a profit, he will have to pay another profit.

As for stock price fluctuations, institutions like banks don't actually care.

Especially for an institution like Sanhe Bank, the so-called stock price itself has no meaning, and the transaction fees and interest in real money are the foundation of the bank's survival.

Often, in order to support the development of some enterprises, the group holds a large number of stocks. No matter how the prices of these stocks fluctuate, they are determined by the market and will not generate wealth.

Therefore, banks generally have similar leverage businesses.

Split stocks to make real money.

Without even thinking about it.

Yuri Kojima asked his subordinates to draw up an agreement.

Naoto Nagano used the joint fund account to pay 1.8 billion in funds and borrowed 9 billion in selling rights from the market.

"Wish us happy cooperation!"

"Of course! Please make sure we have a drink together then."

"..."

Farewell Nagano Nao.

Thinking about the 2% investment I made.

Yuri Kojima's face was all smiles.

As the director of the investment department of Sanhe Bank, he knew that a storm was coming.

the following few days.

The Nikkei index has remained at 33200 and has been fluctuating repeatedly.

On television or in announcements from listed companies, companies' overseas investment strategies and profit expectations are repeatedly mentioned.

Even though the stock market has fallen from 38900 points to the current 33200 points, in fact, it has little impact on ordinary people, and nightlife has not been diminished as a result.

At night, people who had just gotten off work gathered together again to drink and have fun in the club.

Neon lights flash with colorful colors.

When it comes to Japanese manufacturing breaking out of Japan, sweeping across Asian countries, and establishing subsidiaries in various places, many people are excited and full of pride and honor.

This is a time of unprecedented populist pride.

Both Nakasone and Takeshita Noboru have publicly humiliated the United States as an inferior nation, which shows how inflated Japan was at that time.

So.

The whole society is filled with an atmosphere of expansion.

Except Japan, all other countries are useless garbage.

ten o'clock.

KB Club.

Countless men and women who are off work gather here and indulge in the pleasures of life.

"The Chinese are so stupid! Rare earths are such a precious resource, but they only sell for 2000 yen a ton. A new batch of rare earths arrived at the dock today, and when I heard the price, I couldn't believe it."

"This is nothing! Do you know about the Daqin Railway? We loaned them money to build this railway, and they used coal, a non-renewable resource, to repay the loan. Recently, our company has too much coal to use up, so we have to use it for landfill!"

"Oh! I really envy China for its vast territory and abundant resources. If they were given to us, we in Japan would definitely be able to break into the universe!"

"..."

It is one of the largest ports in Japan.

every day.

Kobe handles large amounts of trade from both home and abroad.

When it’s time to get off work, employees working in the surrounding area will come here to drink and chat about their daily work and life.

When other people heard this, they felt a sense of agreement, but Nagano Nao was also drinking here, and he felt extremely strange when he heard these people's arrogance and sense of superiority.

Feeling uncomfortable.

There are complications.

There is also the resentment of being disappointed with someone.

He knew about the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway, and at a certain period of time, he was even a small shareholder of the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway!

But at that time he didn't know that the Daqin Railway was actually invested by Beijing, and he didn't know that such a short railway was actually an almost free exchange of coal resources.

What’s even more ridiculous is that I learned from Fumio Iue that Japan, as a major grain importer in the world, is also a major grain exporter.

Import unprocessed products at low prices, process them using technology, and then sell them at huge profits.

We all have black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, so why is there such a big gap in technological levels?

But this kind of thing.

I can only think about it in my heart.

As a Japanese who betrayed his ancestors, I am a foreigner wherever I go.

Fortunately.

Even though you are a member of the upper class, you don't have to treat these bastards as human beings.

Tool man!

They are all tools!

Please wait for the next harvest!

the next day.

weekend.

Nagano Nao woke up in a daze.

He first ran two laps outside with Youxi, then practiced a set of physical exercise, and then they went home together.

There is someone in the house.

A couple in their twenties were sitting in the living room and talking to Kanako Nagano.

see them.

Nagano Naoio suddenly became energetic for some unknown reason.

They were the Yamaguchi couple, our neighbors who lived not far away.

Nagano Nao had no impression of Mr. Yamaguchi, but he was quite impressed by his wife.

I still remember the day when I moved in and went to visit, Mrs. Yamaguchi said hello and it left a huge impression on Nagano Nao.
