Becoming a Yakuza Boss from Tokyo

.........cut.........

PS. I had a headache all day and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. I came back, ate two mouthfuls of porridge and went to bed. I didn’t get up until after two o’clock to write.

This is probably the second time I got up at 2am to write. I finally understand why my good brothers like to write in the early morning. It is really inspiring...

Chapter 4: The Winning Hand (k)

The night scene in Tokyo is full of decadence and dissipation for the men and women living in this bustling city.

And for a knight, this charming night scene also makes them fascinated.

After saying goodbye to Danno Ryuya, Ryuhiko did not go home, nor did he choose to go to the Rengoku family for special training. Instead, he rode his newly acquired motorcycle and wandered the streets of Tokyo as if aimlessly.

Speaking of which, perhaps because he had ridden Bando Ueto's Kawasaki H2 many times, when Ryuhiko bought a motorcycle, he did not choose his beloved Harley as he did in his previous life, but chose the upgraded version of Kawasaki H2, Kawasaki H2R.

The 998 CC supercharged DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine and up to 300 HP of power are enough to push this steel beast to a speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

Apart from those concept cars produced specifically for speed, the Kawasaki H2R is definitely the absolute king among motorcycles.

I don’t know how long it took, but Long Yan, driving the H2R, gradually moved away from the bustling night scene of Tokyo and came to a sparsely populated bay.

An old Corolla parked on the side of the road seemed to have noticed Long Yan's arrival. It had been turned off and parked on the side of the road, but it suddenly started its engine and turned on the headlights. The two conspicuous and bright beams of light seemed to be guiding Long Yan in the darkness.

He slowly parked his motorcycle next to the window of the Corolla. As Long Yan arrived, the window of the driver's seat was slowly rolled down.

"Did you bring the things?" A deep voice came from inside the car. With the residual light of the car lights, Sato Keisuke's face, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, appeared in front of Long Yan.

Looking at Sato Keisuke who looked like a thief, Long Yan replied softly without saying anything: "Is it necessary to make it like a secret agent contact..."

As he spoke, Long Yan took out a USB flash drive from his shirt pocket.

However, after he took out the USB flash drive, he did not immediately hand it to Sato Keisuke. Instead, he asked in a rather solemn tone: "Are you sure you want to do me this favor? Although I took the initiative to ask, you can refuse me. This time is different. It's really dangerous. I don't have many friends. If possible, I don't want you to get into trouble."

The USB flash drive in Long Yan's hand is what he and Danno Ryuya call the deciding factor.

As one of the three major mainstream media in Japan, Asahi Shimbun has unquestionable influence, popularity and credibility. According to their original idea, if the USB flash drive in their hands is used properly, it can definitely create a national-level news that is no less than the "Ikebukuro Kidnapping Incident", and it may even rise to the level of international news.

Keisuke Sato, who has regained his position as the ace reporter of Asahi Shimbun, is naturally their ideal partner.

Just as Long Yan said, he didn't want to simply take advantage of this reporter who still had a sense of justice.

Before handing the USB drive to him, Long Yan told him the contents of the USB drive in detail without hiding anything, and also informed him of the dangers that might come with it.

However, after hearing his words, the reporter not only did not show any sign of retreat, but instead responded to Long Yan's concerns as he had said when he first met Long Yan.

My intuition kept telling me that someone had to step up at this time. If I didn’t, I think I would regret it for the rest of my life!

Seeing that there was still some hesitation in Longyan's eyes, Sato Keisuke snatched the USB flash drive from Longyan's hand and said with a look of disgust: "You are so fussy. It doesn't match your popular title at all, Mr. 'Sakamoto Ryoma of the Heisei Era'!"

Long Yan could naturally hear that Sato Keisuke was comforting him in this way.

Fortunately, Long Yan was not a wavering person. In response to Sato Keisuke's comfort, he just smiled slightly and then changed the subject.

He looked into the old Corolla and asked curiously, "By the way, where is your partner? I remember you two seemed to be inseparable every day, right?"

Keisuke Sato, who was about to roll up the window and leave, was stunned at first, then he responded softly in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Since we knew we were going to do something so dangerous, we naturally wouldn’t bring him along.

Unlike me, a bachelor who feeds the whole family, that guy just became a father this year, so it’s enough for me to do this kind of thing alone.”

Hearing this, Long Yan didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily.

Immediately afterwards, Sato Keisuke did not stay long. He just greeted Ryuhiko and rolled up the car window.

Looking at the Corolla that was slowly moving away and completely disappearing from his sight, the hesitation in Long Yan's eyes only lasted for a brief moment before being quickly replaced by a firmness.

Since you are going to do it, just do it boldly. As long as you concentrate all your firepower on him, Sato Keisuke's personal safety will naturally be guaranteed.

Immediately, accompanied by the roar of the H2R, Long Yan's figure moved in the opposite direction of Sato Keisuke.

......

The next day, at 8:40 a.m., Tokyo Central Bank.

It is still the office that symbolizes the deputy governor's office, and it is still the group of four people covering three generations.

However, compared to their appearance before the market opened yesterday, today the four of them all had more or less smug expressions on their faces.

Among them, Isayama Taiji, the youngest of the four, could not suppress his joy. Even though he was sitting next to Katagiri, the trader, his feet on the ground were shaking restlessly.

In the eyes of Yasuji Isayama, as one of the youngest ministers at the Tokyo Central Bank headquarters, he already had a bright future. This time, not only did he get on the high-speed train of "the next president" Mikasa Yoichiro, but he also got close to the mysterious shareholder of the Tokyo Central Bank who was hiding in the dark.

After Mikasa Yoichiro becomes the bank president, as a co-participant and confidant, he will definitely get a huge benefit!

Director... no, maybe even the position of managing director or even vice president is within reach!

Looking at the nervous Katagiri beside him, Isayama Taiji, who felt a little elated, couldn't help but pat him on the back gently, and the scolding he usually used turned into a gentle comfort at this time.

"Don't be nervous, Katagiri. Think about it, you've worked so hard for so many years, but you've only become an ordinary employee at the headquarters.

But what about now?

In just two days, you will become one of us!

I will never treat you unfairly after today. Haven’t you always wanted a bigger platform where you can display your talents?

I will help you get the position of Vice Minister, and I think President Mikasa will not be stingy either!"

Perhaps yesterday's success gave Isayama Taiji too much confidence, especially after getting Nakamori Takashi's promise, he directly changed the way he addressed Mikasa Yoichiro from "Vice President" to "President".

It seemed that Isayama Taiji's words had worked. Katagiri, who had been nervously pinching his fingers, actually calmed down and nodded to Isayama Taiji and thanked him.

Perhaps it was because Katagiri was not that conspicuous in the securities department. Seeing that Katagiri did not make any other moves except nodding and thanking him, Isayama Taiji did not care and just turned his gaze to the two people standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Yoichiro Mikasa, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with Takashi Nakamori, glanced at the Longines watch in his hand. There were still 5 minutes before the opening of the market. Similarly, there were only less than 2 hours left for him to become the "bank governor".

According to their plan, they will not rush to raise the stock price when the market opens today.

In the first 30 minutes after the market opens, they will use inducement to attract those retail investors who were still on the sidelines yesterday. Until those who still retain their rationality are broken by their last heartstrings like twisting a tightrope and decide to enter the market, they will release their real blockbuster bomb!

When the major positive news they had pre-set is released, even the most rational retail investors and private equity institutions will put aside the remaining rationality in their hearts and choose to take a chance on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Private equity, or private investment fund, refers to an investment fund that is raised from qualified investors through non-public offering and invests in stocks, equity, bonds, futures, options, fund shares and other targets.

To put it simply, a bunch of wealthy people hand over their money to people they are familiar with and trust to manage it in a unified manner.

In their view, as long as one is a stock investor, he or she will have the courage to give it a try when faced with this level of market conditions.

As long as more and more people buy shares of the Tokyo Central Bank and help them raise the stock price, they can sell their chips when the stock price rises to a certain level and realize huge profits.

Thinking of this, a gleam of greed flashed in Mikasa Yoichiro's eyes.

Just two hours, just two hours! After the morning close, I will be the governor of the Tokyo Central Bank!

The one who had the same expression as him was Nakamori Takashi who was standing next to him.

I will let my father know that I am the best successor to the Ueno-kai!

Time passed minute by minute, and when the hands of Mikasa Yoichiro's watch officially reached nine o'clock, the craziest day in the Japanese stock market officially began!

As expected by Yoichiro Mikasa, under Katagiri's precise trading, the share price of Tokyo Central Bank was very stable, always fluctuating within 1%.

For investors, at least for the vast majority of investors, after they missed yesterday's surge, no matter how rational their mentality is, they will definitely have an emotion called "regret" in their hearts.

I regret why I was so calm yesterday and didn't take action earlier.

I regret why I sold my stocks and ran away yesterday after making only a little profit, thus missing out on a big market trend.

Of course, at the same time, deep down in their hearts, they actually have a perverted expectation for the stock price of the Bank of Tokyo.

They hope that the share price of Tokyo Central Bank will plummet after the opening today.

They desperately hope that reality can prove to them that their choice yesterday was correct.

However, Katagiri's precise control of the game gave them a wake-up call.

The half-hour sideways trading wiped out the remaining patience in their hearts. As time went on, more and more people could not wait any longer and threw their chips into the "beautiful" trap set by Nakamori Takashi and his colleagues.

Looking at the stock price that was beginning to slowly climb, Yoichiro Mikasa and Takashi Nakamori couldn't help but smile happily. They even clinked their wine glasses in tacit understanding.

Looking at the big screen, which symbolized that the share price of the Tokyo Central Bank had officially crossed the 8000 yen mark per share, both Nakamori Takashi and Mikasa Yoichiro knew that it was time to close the net!

Mikasa Yoichiro looked at the excited Isayama Taiji and said in a deep voice: "Isayama, the news will be released in 10 minutes. You don't need me to explain the rest, right?"

Perhaps because he is about to get the coveted position of bank president, Yoichiro Mikasa is acting like a "superior".

Isayama Taiji seemed to adapt very quickly. He seemed to be sitting on a chair with needles. After hearing what Mikasa Yoichiro said, he jumped up from his chair with a "swoosh" and bowed, saying, "Yes, please leave it to me, President Mikasa!"

Obviously, Mikasa Yoichiro felt quite comfortable being called "President". After nodding at Isayama Taiji in appreciation, he turned his gaze to the big screen again, as if those boring numbers had some great magic that fascinated him.

Ten minutes pass very quickly, especially for those who focus on stock trading, it can almost be said to be fleeting.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Nakamori Takashi, Mikasa Yoichiro, or Isayama Taiji, except for Katagiri who was concentrating on controlling the market, the three of them almost all looked at the big screen that symbolized the stock price of Tokyo Central Bank.

However, what confused them was that the surge they had expected did not occur, and the share price of Tokyo Central Bank seemed to have returned to the time when it opened and was controlled by Katagiri, fluctuating up and down very slightly.

When Isayama Taiji saw the dissatisfied looks from Mikasa Yoichiro and Nakamori Takashi, he felt a layer of fine sweat on his back in an instant. Before the two of them asked, he immediately questioned Katagiri, the trader.

"What's going on Katagiri? Didn't I tell you not to control the situation anymore?"

However, what surprised him was that when he turned his gaze to Katagiri beside him, he found that the confusion in Katagiri's eyes was no less than his. Even his hands had left the mouse and keyboard at some point, and he was staring at the big screen showing the share price of Tokyo Central Bank, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Katagiri's strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the three people, but when they followed Katagiri's gaze and turned their eyes back to the big screen, the numbers on the big screen made them all stunned!

Be my cat! .jpg

.........cut.........

PS. As expected, I’m asking myself to write about the stock market and follow the plunge hahahahahahahaha, this plot will almost end tomorrow, just hold on a little longer!

Chapter 152: Hesitation will lead to defeat!

"6600 points!?"

When Nakamori Takashi and the other two turned to look at the numbers on the big screen, their expressions of horror were beyond words.

The share price, which had just broken through 8000 yen per share, plummeted to 6600 yen per share in just a few breaths. And that’s not all, the share price of Tokyo Central Bank is still falling!

Nakamori Takashi and the other two rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and kept telling themselves in their hearts.

This is an illusion, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion!

Well, indeed.

It was indeed an illusion, because during the time they were stunned, the share price of Tokyo Central Bank had suddenly plummeted to 5671 yen per share.

"What's going on? What on earth happened? Why did the stock price drop so much? The news we released today should be absolutely great news. I finally dug out the news from the Financial Services Agency. Why is it like this?!"

The drop of nearly 30% has left Zhongsen Long in a daze.

What you need to know is that the news he released today was not the vague investment intention like yesterday.

By bribing senior officials of the Financial Services Agency, he learned that the Bank of Japan intended to implement a comprehensive reduction in the reserve requirement ratio.

Compared with yesterday's nonsensical investment intention, this is a bombshell that directly stimulates the entire market!

Lowering the reserve requirement ratio means reducing the deposit reserve requirement.

As for what is deposit reserve requirement.

For example, if I opened a bank, I would be eligible to absorb social deposits.

For example, today I absorbed a deposit of 100 yuan. After I got the money, because I am a business, I have to be responsible for my own profits and losses and need to create profits. Money cannot make money if it is kept in my hand, so I must lend the money to those businesses that need money and collect interest.

But at the same time, because there may be customers coming back to withdraw money from me, I need to prepare some cash on hand. Otherwise, if I don’t have cash when others come to withdraw money, I will go bankrupt.

The deposit reserve requirement is a rule set by the central bank to prevent customers from being unable to withdraw money.

They will set a percentage. For example, if you have a deposit of 100 yuan, the central bank will require you to save 5 yuan.

In the earliest times, money was kept in the bank's safe. In modern society, money is generally kept in the central bank. This is called a deposit. The central bank will give each commercial bank an interest as income. Of course, the interest rate is very low.

Generally speaking, banks are reluctant to do this because the interest rate is too low and the cost is very high, but there is no way, this is a regulation that must be followed.

So after the bank receives a deposit of one hundred dollars, they can only do business worth ninety-five dollars.

Lowering the reserve requirement ratio means that the funds that commercial banks deposit with the central bank will decrease. Banks that could only do business worth 95 yuan in the past can suddenly do business worth 96 yuan. In this way, banks will have excess funds to lend, and there will be more money in the market. The interest spread between deposits and loans will be the main source of income for banks.

Therefore, although the reduction in the reserve requirement ratio does not mean that bank stocks will definitely rise, it is definitely good for bank stocks.

In particular, if bank stocks are on an upward trend and encounter news of a reserve requirement ratio cut, it will even accelerate the rise of bank stocks, and the impact on the stock market during this period will also be relatively huge.
