National Tide 1980.

Sagawa Kenichi said it lightly, but when Goto Kanji heard it, he couldn't help but be moved and immediately called the head of Section 2.

He knew best that the current market situation was indeed not optimistic. Both large and retail investors were suffering, and trading volume was falling sharply.

The most urgent task is for securities firms to be forced by the government to make every effort to liven up the market atmosphere and revive stock market trading volume.

Otherwise, we're all doomed.

If this guy in front of me could get back the more than 10 billion yuan of funds that he had taken away, it would be easier for me to meet the performance targets issued by the headquarters.

After all, this guy has a big client who trusts him, and even the housewives in the five sales departments combined can't raise that much money.

Moreover, this guy was very smart. When the stock market crash came, he was the first to discover it, and prevented his clients from suffering much loss of funds.

Perhaps it was because of this that his client was willing to continue to authorize him to buy at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Goto Kanji frowned and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although I really want to kick this guy out in anger and let him die, the pressure from the headquarters and the recent performance indicators are really unbearable, and I still can't give up this guy's customers and funds.

To be honest, Goto Kanji now also understands the pain of his subordinates.

In the age of computer office, everything is based on data.

If the monthly data of the sales department is not good, he will be criticized when he meets his superiors at the headquarters and there is no way he can get away with it.

So he tried to soften his expression, looked up into Sagawa Kenichi's eyes, and said, "Well, recently the sales department is indeed trying to get important clients to increase their investment. If you can convince your big client to quickly reinvest the more than 10 billion yen that was withdrawn into the market to buy stocks, I will temporarily withdraw my decision to fire you and let you make amends for your crime. However, what you did has caused a lot of trouble to the sales department. You need to apologize to all your colleagues and express your remorse in front of everyone..."

In Goto Kanji's opinion, his conditions were already very generous, and Sagawa Kenichi should be grateful.

After all, this guy has been slacking off at work and has been absent from work for several days. He has not done anything serious.

If he returns to the sales department, his salary and commission will continue to be paid to him.

Moreover, it will be December soon, and Nomura Securities needs all its employees to work hard right now. The performance has been exceptionally good for most of this year, and the year-end bonus for section chiefs is at least more than 12 million yen.

With so many benefits in hand, what's wrong with losing some face in front of all my colleagues?
It's a bargain for him.

As a bystander, the head of Section 2 also thought that it was good enough for Kenichi Sagawa to keep his current treatment.

After all, Kenichi Sagawa has been working without putting in any effort, so the general manager will not really let him off and will settle the score with him sooner or later.

He is not given any substantial punishment at the moment because he is still needed.

Logically, he should be demoted or even transferred to the bench.

If he still hopes for a better result, it can only be said that he has an IQ problem.

So he took the opportunity to hit Sagawa, "You guy, why don't you bow and thank him quickly. The general manager is so magnanimous and will let bygones be bygones. You're lucky."

However, Kenichi Sagawa was so different that he ignored the head of Section 2, just sneered and raised his head to face Kanji Goto.

"General Manager, if you put it that way, then the situation is far from being correct. Making amends for a crime? Are you kidding me? You want me to apologize? Impossible. I want to ask you, what did I do wrong?"

"Asshole, how can you ask that? Not only did you betray me and this sales department, you also betrayed all the hard-working colleagues here."

"You are really good at accusing others. Can you tell me the specific details?"

Sagawa Kenichi didn't even use honorifics, and Goto Kanji was so furious.

Faced with his repeated provocations, he could no longer restrain himself and scolded him mercilessly.

"Don't play dumb, you bastard. Don't you know what you did? We were deceived by your senior experience and proficiency in the business. We believed that as a star agent, you could convince the client, keep the account funds of the sales department, and help the sales department top the list of performance. But what about you? On the surface, you said a lot, but you took advantage of our trust in you and found all kinds of excuses to cheat. In private, you even abused your authority as a section chief to help your client sell stocks and transferred a huge amount of funds up to 30 billion, causing the sales department to be ranked behind the Hong Kong sales department for several months. Then you spent the whole day in a daze. Apart from selling stocks for your client, how much performance can you show in the past few months? Aren't you a liar? Shouldn't you be held accountable?"

"General Manager, I've heard your words so many times that my ears are callused. But I really don't think I did anything wrong."

"That's because you've become numb."

"No, that's because in my opinion, you are the one who made me deceive the customer. I would say this even in front of the general manager of the head office, so if you use such words to accuse me again, I will be unhappy. Of course, we don't have to argue here in vain. Since we have different ideas, no matter how we argue, it will not produce any results. I say you should make a decision quickly. General Manager, now I ask you again, do you really want me to apologize? Or do you want me to come back to work quietly without any trouble? Which one do you choose?"

How dare you give the general manager an ultimatum!

Even though he had already experienced Sagawa Kenichi's boldness and arrogance, the head of Section 2 was still stunned.

He couldn't even utter a word of rebuke.

The general manager himself also felt incredulous, but more of an offended rage.

If a junior section chief who is about to be fired dares to talk to him like this, then what's the point of him being the general manager?
Goto Kanji's face turned red, then pale, and then slowly turned iron blue. The anger in his eyes almost burned Sagawa Kenichi to death.

"Asshole, how dare you talk to me like that? You've lost yourself in this. Put your identity in perspective!"

But Sagawa Kenichi didn't take it seriously. Before the other party could speak, he said, "Don't glare at me. I didn't come back to beg for your shelter. I just worked at Nomura Securities for ten years and didn't want to leave the place I am familiar with. Although the way I work is despised by you all, I still consider myself an employee of Nomura and of course hope to continue working there. If you don't like it, just say it. Anyway, I have tens of billions of yen entrusted to me by my clients. It will be easy to find a job in any securities company, and the salary will definitely satisfy me..."

"What? Hundreds of billions? Isn't it more than 10 billion yen?"

"Really? Impossible..."

It was another mental shock, and both the general manager and the head of Section 2 exclaimed in surprise.

But this time the effect of this surprise was completely different.

"Yes, it is several hundred billion yen. To be precise, it is 44 billion yen, and this is only part of the funds that the client is prepared to invest, because Chairman Ning is currently abroad and is inspecting his overseas assets. All funds cannot be fully in place for the time being. Depending on the situation, there may be a large amount of capital investment in the future."

"General Manager, do you still think I'm a liar? Have I already brought you the funds you need? But in my opinion, you don't seem to be in urgent need of funds right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't have given such an order! Saying such things to me!"

"In the financial industry, money is the foundation of everything. You should understand this! Then I would like to ask you, which of us is the one who did not put himself in the right position?"

Sagawa Kenichi's expression suddenly turned cold, and the frivolous smile on his face just now disappeared instantly.

As his eyebrows and eyes changed slightly, he looked surprisingly serious, with an unprecedented awe-inspiring aura that came from his body.

He stared at the other two people in the room, causing them to unconsciously turn their eyes away slightly.

"Of course, if you really don't need the money, then I'm just wishful thinking and there's nothing to say! In fact, I've thought about another way that's easier. I can stay in Nomura Securities and don't have to meet you every day. For example, how about I transfer to the Minato Sales Department? Otherwise, you just give me the resignation letter, and I'll be dismissed, and then I can go to the Minato for another interview!" After saying this retreat, Kenichi Sagawa's expression became even colder, and even his eyes became cold.

In such an atmosphere, the whole office fell into a wonderful silence for a moment.

Even though there were three people in the room, no one spoke.

The chaos and noise outside, as well as the sounds of "bought" and "sold" became extremely clear, as if the original soundproofing of the room had failed.

And perhaps because of the lighting, Kenichi Sagawa's eyes, who was standing at the door, were shining.

"Sagawa, I... I think we were all a little excited just now. Haha, it's inevitable that we said something that could be misunderstood... Come on, sit down and talk."

Goto Kanji wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and his attitude and tone finally changed completely.

He was indeed annoyed and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

This is the financial industry, capital is king, and whoever has the money has the final say.

Now, faced with such a huge amount of funds, he really doesn’t have the courage to say no.

More than 40 billion yen was enough for him to regain the favor of the headquarters. This month he finally had hope and could take a deep breath.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

What's more, Kenichi Sagawa's idea is quite vicious. This guy really wants to turn around and go to the Minato Ward Sales Department.

He was sure that Minato would accept Sagawa, and he would become the laughing stock of the entire Nomura Securities.

How could he do such a stupid thing that would make his relatives hate him and his enemies happy, and expose his family's dirty laundry to the public?

"Sagawa, go smoke. And you, go get me a cup of coffee..."

Since he had already decided to compromise, Goto Kanji started to save the situation without hesitation. The head of Section 2 was even regarded by him as a service staff to please Sagawa.

The section chief was also speechless, knowing that Kenichi Sagawa had become the sales department's biggest commodity again thanks to his clients' funds.

He agreed and could only sigh that this guy was lucky. Looking at Sagawa again, he didn't know whether he should envy or be jealous.

"Okay, let me give you the final answer." Goto Kanji's square face trembled slightly. "I agree to your terms. You come back to work without any apology. I will announce to everyone that you are on a business trip. After all, you brought so much money, so you can explain it."

"Oh?" Sagawa Kenichi looked at the general manager of the sales department in fake surprise. "Thank you very much. If that's the case, then some of my expenses can also be covered by the sales department, right?"

"Of course, of course." Goto Kanji ignored the sarcasm in his words and actions and said with a smile, "Since the terms have been agreed, you should start investing your funds immediately. To be honest, we haven't completed our goal of pushing the stock index up 100 points today, and we urgently need your help. And I have a few additional requests."

"What request?" Sagawa Kenichi raised his eyebrows.

"I hope you can purchase at least 1,000 shares of NTT at a price of 2,550,000 yen..."

"No, absolutely not. I'm sorry, I can't do that. I have to be responsible for my clients' funds. It's impossible to make money from stocks like this..." Before the general manager could finish his words, Sagawa refused with a cold smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. We can discuss it. I know you are angry. I will organize all the employees to welcome you back. I will publicize your contribution to the sales department..."

"No, General Manager, I'm afraid you misunderstood. As I have always told you, I must report all trading decisions to my client, Chairman Ning. As far as my authority is concerned, I am only operating on behalf of the client. You always think that I can do something behind the client's back, but I have to say that this client is impossible to be deceived. If I do this, not only will I lose his trust, but even Nomura Securities will no longer trust him and will definitely withdraw all funds."

"This... I can understand." Faced with Sagawa Kenichi's insistence, Goto Kanji could only nod slightly. He didn't want to further strain the relationship that had just been eased, but he immediately made it clear that he was anxious, "But the sales department can't meet the target. There's no way to explain to the headquarters."

"Who on earth can accomplish such a task?" Sagawa Kenichi asked. "If even our sales department can't do it, how can other sales departments do it? In my opinion, Mr. General Manager, you should focus on the performance that we can expand. As long as the overall performance is improved and the head office can make money, it doesn't matter if other tasks are not completed, right? At least this way we can have an explanation. We can report our performance to the headquarters and discuss the wording."

Goto Kanji, whose hair was half white, moved his thin shoulders and remained silent for a long time. He was thinking seriously about Sagawa's words.

It's so wonderful that the person who was a thorn in his side just now has now become his guest of honor.

It was impossible for him to ignore the other party's opinions and views anymore, and instead he regarded the other party as his savior.

However, it must be said that Sagawa does have experience, and his words are not nonsense and are of reference value.

Before he knew it, Goto Kanji lit a cigarette for himself, and the head of Section 2 who had just been dispatched also brought in coffee.

Sagawa had already taken two sips and was becoming a little impatient.

"Don't think about it. I'll just tell you this. Although my funds cannot be used to buy stocks as you think, I can solve your problem by increasing the transaction amount. I haven't told you yet that Chairman Ning hopes to use this money to obtain corresponding financing. How about it? If you agree, this month the sales department will have an additional transaction amount of nearly 90 billion yen and nearly half of the financing amount. Is that enough for you to handle your business?"

The shocking number immediately made Goto Kanji choke on the smoke and start coughing violently.

A transaction volume of nearly 100 billion was something he couldn't even imagine.

In this situation, someone actually made such a large amount of stock investment and has become the top individual customer of the business department.

Thinking back to when Ning Weimin was at his peak, it seemed that the investment amount was just this much, but I didn't expect that it would all come back in a flash. How could I not be happy?
"Are you serious? You're going to use all 90 billion yen to buy stocks."

Perhaps because he was choked, Goto Kanji stared at Sagawa with bloodshot eyes.

"Of course it's true. My client is really optimistic about buying at the bottom this time. However, as a client who places such a large bet, shouldn't the sales department also express some opinion?"

"Yes, it's time to express it. How about a Ferrari? Or a Porsche?"

"No, that's too boring, and it's not enough. How much is a car? 90 billion yen, the transaction fee alone is several hundred million yen, and the financing interest is more than ten billion. Is this how you treat my customers?"

"Then you mean..."

"It's not what I mean, it's what the client means."

"Ah, yes, the client means..."

"You know, my client, Chairman Ning, already has so many assets now. Luxury cars and the like are no longer attractive to him. But Tokyo Bay is said to be well developed now. In this case, people in Tokyo may get used to sailing in the future. Hmm..."

"You, are you saying that you want the Sales Department to give President Ning a yacht?"

"What's so strange about this? Of course, just giving a yacht seems a bit too monotonous. So how about one car and one yacht? Double insurance."

Goto Kanji's smile froze again. Looking at Sagawa Kenichi who was wearing the same pants as the client, his hand unconsciously covered his chest and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

This is real, not fake. (End of this chapter)
