National Tide 1980.

The eighties, though, are still referred to as the “dawn of the mobile phone.”

However, as the most developed and richest country in Asia, Japan has been popularizing 1984G mobile signal networks throughout the country since 1.

Initially, this type of mobile signal network could only be used in car phones, but since 1985, Motorola has also launched the DynaTAC8000X mobile phone in Japan.

Japanese people's mobile phone calls began to be liberated from the previous single and bulky car-mounted portable phone model.

Even the price of 590,000 yen per unit did not scare off the Japanese with bulging pockets.

In comparison, Motorola has only just settled in the mainland of the Republic this year, preparing to launch preliminary mobile phone services such as building base stations.

It can be said that the Japanese enjoyed this convenience in phone calls several years earlier than we Chinese.

Especially this year, with the rise of Japan's stock and property markets, the business and related sales of this type of telephone have also exploded, and more and more Japanese have realized the convenience of this convenient communication tool in speculative transactions.

Many senior managers in the financial industry have become owners of such mobile phones as gifts from their companies.

Subsequently, this item has become a popular and best-selling gift and is listed on the list of high-end gifts given between companies and major customers.

For example, when Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko got married and the Ghost Festival came, they received several mobile phone gifts like this.

So even though they didn't spend a penny, they themselves became mobile phone users.

Along with Matsumoto Keiko's parents, as well as Matsumoto Keiko's two key subordinates, Watanabe Mitsuru and Okamoto Akira, and Kagawa Rinko, who took care of Huiwentang Bookstore for Ning Weimin, all stepped into a more convenient communication era.

Although this mobile phone weighs one kilogram, it is still not very convenient to carry.

Even though it takes up to ten hours to fully charge the battery, continuous talk time can only last for half an hour.

But its benefits are also obvious.

With this thing, the distance between important people is really shortened.

Especially when both parties have mobile phones, there is almost no situation where you can't find the person you want to call and cause anxiety.

The location of calls has also been freed from restrictions. As long as you have a phone in your hand, you can send messages and contact people anytime and anywhere.

Just like now, even though it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Ning Weimin dialed his stockbroker's mobile phone number, and soon, there was a response from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I'm Kenichi Sagawa from Nomura Securities. Who are you?"

The tone was serious, which was not surprising.

Because no matter how dumb you are, you know that people who can find him by calling this number are important customers.

"Section Chief Sagawa, excuse me, I'm Ning Weimin."

"President Ning? You are too polite. Please don't call me Section Chief, just call me Sagawa. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Okay, Sagawa-kun, I'd like to know the recent market value of my stocks. Also, how is the overall market in the past two months? Can you tell me about it?"

"Okay, I keep an eye on your account every day. Let me check my notebook... Oh, that's right. As of today's close, the total market value of your stocks is about 37.2 billion yen. It has risen by about 15% since you left Japan two months ago. The market is not bad, and the Nikkei index has been rising steadily during this period. If it weren't for NTT's excessive increase and profit-taking, it would have fallen from a high of 3.18 million yen, a drop of 35%. In addition, the "Toshiba incident" led to US sanctions, which triggered an overall decline in the machinery manufacturing industry sector. Originally, these two The market should be better in the next month. Especially Yamaichi Securities, one of your stocks, was also implicated and had a 20% drop in market value because it held a large number of NTT and Toshiba stocks. Fortunately, apart from this stock, your other stocks are not very related. I think it won't be affected much if you continue to hold it. Thinking from another angle, I suggest you consider buying some more Yamaichi Securities while the price is low. After all, the negative impact of this loss has been fully released during this period, and there is not much room for further decline. As long as the market continues to maintain a good situation, the share price of Yamaichi Securities will easily rise again..."

There was a positive tone in Kenichi Sagawa's tone as he reported the situation.

Ning Weimin actually knew very well what he was looking forward to because he was so excited.

After all, two months ago, when he asked Sagawa to reduce his holdings and took out nearly 40 billion yen from the stock market, he also told Sagawa that he would increase his capital and holdings when the price was right.

But he knew better in his heart that the world-class stock market crash "Black Monday" was ahead.

Before this actually happened, he would never throw money into the stock market again.

So no matter what, Kenichi Sagawa is destined to be disappointed this time.

But he couldn't help but admit that he was a bit lucky.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he had to leave 30% of the stocks in his account, leaving it to the wind and rain or disaster to come.

He had almost concluded that some financial sacrifice was inevitable.

However, by chance he met Yoshima and his son at the Chixia Club and agreed on a new loan amount.

On the contrary, he had an excuse to further reduce his holdings in the stock market and could avoid risks openly. He could take advantage of the situation and sell off some stocks, and no one could find fault with him.

If he can get it done here and there, he can earn hundreds of billions of yen more, and maybe even make back the 500 million US dollars he invested in France.

"No, no, Sagawa-kun, I don't want to increase my holdings. I plan to sell some of the profitable stocks when the market opens tomorrow morning. I agree with your suggestion just now. I won't sell the Yamaichi Securities stocks for now. As for the other stocks... please help me sell half of them and see if you can help me transfer at least 15 billion yen as soon as possible. I can give you a week."

Ning Weimin's voice was strong and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.

As a result, Kenichi Sagawa on the other end of the phone was shocked by these words.

He had never expected Ning Weimin to give such instructions, and was afraid that this big man was drunk or high on drugs.

After all, Japanese society has been in a frenzy recently, and some high-end customers, when not sober, do show signs of going crazy due to excessive indulgence, and some have even given random orders.

If the stockbroker obeys the instruction without any hesitation, and the other party denies it after waking up the next day, the stockbroker will be in big trouble.

So he couldn't care less about his face and had to ask directly.

"Chairman Ning, are you sure you want to sell the 15 billion yen worth of stocks in your name? If you do this, then you will only have about 20 billion yen worth of stocks left. Excuse me, but if you don't mind, could you tell me why you are doing this? And what is the purpose of this money? After all, you just withdrew a huge amount of funds from the stock market not long ago. My boss has repeatedly held me accountable for that matter. He... He thinks that it was my poor performance that led to your withdrawal of funds. If you sell so many stocks again this time, I'm afraid he will have a bigger prejudice against me and will definitely not believe me anymore, so I need... need..." From these hurried words and the somewhat disordered breathing, Ning Weimin could clearly hear that Kenichi Sagawa was completely confused due to his anxious mood.

The other party's tone was full of pleading, and the subtext was undoubtedly hoping that he would reconsider.

To be honest, if he put himself in his shoes, he really felt that Kenichi Sagawa was a bit pitiful.

After all, a stockbroker has performance indicators. If he withdraws the money, Sagawa's situation will definitely not be good.

To put it bluntly, Kenichi Sagawa's role is that of a company's sales manager. His performance is guaranteed to make him the sales champion. He can live a comfortable life in the securities company and even do whatever he wants.

However, if performance declines and fails to meet the expectations of the boss, then the salary will be reduced immediately without any mercy.

But then again, financial companies are not like this. They only care about money and not people.

Kenichi Sagawa should have known this the day he entered the industry.

Besides, no matter how pitiful he is, he is not her son. She cannot give up benefits worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yen just for him to live a better life.

So there is no way, you have to do what you have to do, there is nothing to say.

"Sagawa, I buy stocks to make money. You can only make money if you buy and sell. Is there any stock in the world that you can only buy but not sell? If you can only buy but not sell, then what's the point of buying stocks? I need money now, isn't it normal to sell stocks and get cash? Don't you think so?"

Ning Weimin changed the way he addressed Sagawa, and his tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. Sagawa on the opposite side immediately felt the pressure. He was no longer simply anxious, but his anxiety was compounded by a lot of embarrassment and fear.

"I'm sorry, President Ning, I...I didn't mean that...it's just...just..."

Ning Weimin then slowed down his tone and explained his needs in a relatively gentle manner.

"Okay, no need to explain. I understand your difficulties. You have always worked hard for me, and I know that. So if you must have a reason, then I can tell you a little about my situation. I will use this money to exchange for more money to expand my business territory. You know that I am the operator of Tangu Restaurant, right? But you don't know that the Tangu Restaurant business premises are my own. In addition to that restaurant, I also have a three-story building in Ginza. Now because of the rise in housing prices, these two properties are probably worth about 40 billion yen. If I want to find a bank loan, I can borrow about 30 billion yen. But I have already mortgaged these two properties to a bank at a lower price. I now If I want to get 30 billion yen for business, I must redeem the house first and then re-mortgage it. Think about it again. I won't sell stocks. How can I double the value of my stocks in the short term? There is no such way. It is definitely not possible to rely on the natural rise of the market. And taking a step back, even if I don't invest after getting 30 billion yen, it is more cost-effective to use this money to speculate in stocks. If I get 30 billion yen to buy stocks and then enter the market to increase leverage, it will be at least 50 billion. That is definitely better than not selling stocks. Just relying on the account market value to simply raise 15 billion yen from your company, right? So there is no way, it involves major interests. I can only do this. I hope you can do what I say. "

"So you also own real estate in Ginza. You want to sell the stocks to redeem the real estate first and then refinance it. In this case, it is really a huge amount of money. Now, I can understand it. But... the current performance indicators of our sales department are very stringent, and I am afraid that the boss will be unhappy about this. He may even intervene and block it because of strong dissatisfaction. I have to say that securities companies still have some ways to freeze customers' accounts. If that's the case, if something unexpected happens, I can't control it. If not, your transaction will also have problems. At that time, it will still delay your plan..."

As an agent who was completely dependent on Ning Weimin, Kenichi Sagawa's tone obviously softened.

After Ning Weimin's well-reasoned rubbing, he was completely submissive.

It seems that the only thing I am worried about right now is the boss's difficulties and obstacles.

Ning Weimin quickly gave him a reassurance pill.

"Sagawa-kun, we have always been in good sync since we met. I am very satisfied with the service you provide me and I trust you very much. I can say that I have already recognized you as a person in stock trading. If you are willing, I can always entrust my stock assets to you. But if it is true as you said, when you sell stocks for me, you encounter obstacles set by your superiors. Then I think I will not give up. I will not put my money in the hands of Nomura Securities anymore. And for you, maybe it is time for you to make a major choice. If you are fired for executing my orders, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that wherever you go, my remaining funds will go with you. If you are fired for I cannot work in a securities company to protect my rights. Then you can come and work for me. I just need a financial advisor or assistant. I can guarantee that you will earn more than you have now. If everything goes well and no one deliberately targets us, then after a while, I will increase my investment in stocks again. At that time, they will still value you. So, you have nothing to worry about. How to deal with this matter depends on you. You might as well ask yourself, in your heart, is the company more important, your boss more important, or a client like me? What is more worthy of your trust? Is it the company you work for, your boss, or me as a client?"

Ning Weimin's words were so sincere in both emotion and reason that they touched Sagawa Kenichi's heart.

Well, if he doesn’t count on customers, what else can he count on?

He was silent for a moment; it was not difficult to make a decision.

"President Ning, I know what to do. Don't worry. I will do my best to complete your orders."

Ning Weimin's tone was extremely relieved.

"Well, if anyone gives you a hard time or gets in our way, feel free to call me and I'll negotiate in person."

Just like that, the call ended, and people on both ends of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

Kenichi Sagawa certainly knew that clients were everything, and an agent without clients was of no value at all.

President Ning doesn't seem like a man who would go back on his word. What is he afraid of? Bad days are only temporary and he will get through them.

Moreover, even if he follows Ning Weimin's instructions, he still has 20 billion yen in his account.

With this asset as guarantee, the company can never fire him even if it is dissatisfied.

On the bright side, he would get a lot of commission from selling 15 billion yen.

  What are you doing? Why not?

Ning Weimin felt that he had finally found peace of mind.

Not only himself, but also the people he was close to, Matsumoto Keiko, his father-in-law, Jiang Nianyun, Shen Cun, the master, Axia, the Kagawa sisters, Mr. Taniguchi, Ishida Yoshiko...

He gave all the advice he could, urging everyone to avoid investment risks, and many people followed his advice.

He absolutely lives up to his conscience.

If an emergency occurs, we should not see any of these people in agony.

Take what he just said to Sagawa, it wasn't completely false.

Although he didn't say the real reason for the sale, it was no trouble for him to support Sagawa.

The important thing is that this guy is really obedient and knows the difference between the big and small ones.

This time he liquidated another 15 billion yen, plus the 30 billion yen in loans.

If you avoid the stock market crash and then use the opportunity to buy at dips, there is no doubt that you will make a fortune.

But only an obedient stockbroker can ensure that he can get the money safely. (End of this chapter)
