National Tide 1980.

Kenichi Sagawa was dressed smartly, and seemed to have changed into a new suit of a famous brand.

He was originally sitting and chatting with a female public relations officer with great interest. When he looked up and saw Ning Weimin coming in from the door, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

Of course the female PR also knew who Ning Weimin was, and she also stood up and bowed.

She was also very tactful. She immediately got a wine glass for Ning Weimin and then left on her own initiative, probably to inform her mother, Maria.

At this time, Kenichi Sagawa took out some delivery notes and financial documents from his briefcase and showed them to Ning Weimin, happily reporting the good news to him.

"President Ning, please take a look. This is all the gains since we re-entered the market to buy at the bottom on November 11. I have to express my sincere admiration for you. Your vision is so sharp, the timing is so accurate, and perhaps your luck is too good. Since the day you re-invested your money in the Japanese stock market, the Nikkei Index has miraculously rebounded. The stock market, which was originally unable to stop the decline, has magically taken off from the ground since that day. To date, it has continued to rebound by 12%, and the trading volume has been increasing. I bought several stocks in full accordance with your orders, and the increase was at least %, so now your stock market value has exceeded billion yen! You are so amazing, I think the speculators in the entire market should thank you. It is entirely with your luck that the Japanese stock market can be revived so quickly..."

Kenichi Sagawa's voice was filled with excitement.

He had to be excited. He had never done such a comfortable business in his life.

Since he started buying, the price has been rising every day.

Although I already knew that Ning Weimin had a keen eye, was good at catching bull stocks, and could escape the peak, I had already admired him very much.

But Ning Weimin was able to grasp the timing of the market's counterattack so accurately. The market turned from green to red almost as soon as he entered, without wasting a single day. This still surprised Kenichi Sagawa.

Although he worked as a stockbroker for Ning Weimin and had seen how his account had expanded.

But that was the result of compound interest from long-term stock holding over a two-year period.

What’s different this time is that Ning Weimin entered the market with 44 billion yen in capital and doubled the capital leverage.

With such a daily increase, the average profit change is several hundred million yuan, and soon the capital expansion exceeds the 100 billion mark.

That's almost $1 billion.

Kenichi Sagawa had never handled such a large amount of money before, so he was inevitably so nervous that he couldn't sleep.

I’m afraid that when the rebound ends, something might go wrong and I won’t be able to explain the losses to Ning Weimin.

Now that Ning Weimin is back, he has a backbone and is no longer afraid of any changes in the situation.

So his mood now was to be happy for Ning Weimin as well as for himself. He had finally lived up to the trust and completed the task.

It was as if once the financial statements were submitted, a weight of relief finally fell from my heart.

All kinds of joy gathered in his heart, making him unable to help but sing praises.

But then again, his flattery was a bit too much, a bit lacking in technique, and a bit scary.

Well, the entire market has to thank Ning Weimin, which is equivalent to throwing him into the frying pan.

So Ning Weimin quickly declined his flattery and tried to explain the problem clearly.

"Hey, don't say that. That's too much. I was just lucky. If I have to thank you, I should thank Nomura Securities for rescuing the market and thank you, my broker, for giving me the inside information."

"Huh? Inside information? No way..." Sagawa Kenichi was stunned, his eyes rolling around, unable to figure out how such a thing could have happened.

"Why not? After the stock market crash in October, you called me and told me that representatives from Japan's four largest securities firms were summoned to the Ministry of Finance. The authorities asked them to create a market for Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation's shares and to keep the Nikkei index above 10 points at all costs."

Only after Ning Weiminming explained it did Sagawa Kenichi understand what was going on, but even so, he still had some confusion.

"But almost everyone in the securities industry knows this news. This... shouldn't be enough to make you sure that the stock market will rebound, right? After all, even within Nomura, most people were very pessimistic at the time. I'm sure other securities companies weren't much better..."

"Enough, of course it's enough." Ning Weimin took a sip of wine and said with a half-truthful smile, "First of all, for a bull market, the most important thing is not money, but confidence. Don't be pessimistic about the stock market crash in October. But don't forget that just a month ago, everyone was still immersed in the joy of grabbing money from the sky. They didn't have time to forget the sweetness of getting rich without doing anything in the past two years. It only takes three positive lines to rebuild the public's confidence. This change and reshaping of perception is just like the change in the stock market crash. It is extreme."

"Secondly, the Japanese people themselves are very simple. Most of them lack experience in stock trading. They believe in the advice of brokers and especially like to act in unison. As far as I know, when engaging in a certain activity, whether it is work or entertainment, the Japanese tend to behave in a herd manner. Didn't your government also say that Japan has become a country of '100 million people, one mind'?"

"So when Japanese brokerages tell clients that they should buy NTT, they are easily welcomed. If brokerages now tell others that they should buy at the bottom, there will surely be many people who have lost a lot of money and will believe them and take out all the money they can to make up for their losses. To put it bluntly, the Japanese are easily fooled. To put it nicely, Japan can survive this dangerous period of drastic fluctuations because it is a society with a high degree of consensus and a nation that likes to advance and retreat together."

"Also, one of the characteristics of the Nikkei index is that a few stocks have a particularly large weight. For example, NTT has an influence of more than 8% on the entire index. The five stocks with the highest market capitalization, including Mitsubishi Estate and Sumitomo Bank, account for nearly 20% of the total index weight. In addition to the high concentration of market capitalization in a few stocks, many subsidiaries of the five major financial groups have cross-holdings, resulting in a low market circulation ratio and a lack of tradable stocks. As long as funds are concentrated to buy, it is not difficult to raise the stock price."

"That is to say, as long as Japan's four major securities firms obey the government's instructions to push up heavyweight stocks like NTT, there will definitely be positive sentiment in the market. For the market, those who can escape have already escaped, and those who are left are trapped and cannot leave. In this case, I saw the opportunity to buy at the bottom and continued to buy once-star stocks such as Hanwa Kogyo. Of course, it is easy to attract the attention of the public. Moreover, the upward pressure is not great, and it will also have a certain demonstration effect. As a result, the index and stock prices will rise together, which will let others see that they can make money in the market again, and will re-create a vibrant market scope."

"It won't be long before a real upward trend is formed. Then people will start to find that those stocks that haven't risen are 'cheap', and more and more latecomers who are afraid of missing out on market opportunities will rejoin the market. Finally, everyone will form a joint force, and the stock market will resume prosperity."

"As for fear, it doesn't exist. When people can make money, no one will be afraid of the market anymore. Those who can run will be reluctant to leave. Those who get their money back will only feel that they didn't make enough. And those who are smart only need to focus on heavyweight stocks like NTT to judge the trend. NTT is like a weather vane of the market. In fact, it doesn't matter how much it rises. As long as it stops falling, it is a good signal, and everyone will speculate on small-cap stocks wantonly. They will make money happily."

"So, I just saw this opportunity and decided to buy at the bottom. Shouldn't I thank Nomura Securities for spending money to stabilize the index? Shouldn't I tell you this news? What's more, you help me trade every day. Even if you don't have any credit, you have worked hard. This profit of more than 40 billion yen was earned by you..."

Ning Weimin's words convinced Kenichi Sagawa.

Although Ning Weimin deliberately concealed his ability to predict the future, he only showed his side as an ordinary person.

However, this theory of "cutting leeks" is a very thorough and accurate analysis, and his insights that transcend his time still make him dazzling.

Although Kenichi Sagawa is a senior stockbroker at Japan's largest brokerage firm, he is unable to access this level of cognition due to the limitations of information dissemination channels of that era and his personal social status.

Therefore, Ning Weimin's clarification not only did not make him regard Ning Weimin as an ordinary person, but instead increased his admiration for him.

Hearing Ning Weimin praising his contribution, he immediately bowed his head to express his loyalty. "I really don't deserve your praise. This is what I should do. To be honest, being able to serve you is the greatest fortune of my life. Not to mention that I have earned so much commission thanks to you, the expanded horizons and experience I have learned from following you are priceless. If I have to thank you, I should be the one to thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you. To be honest, as a professional, my knowledge of the stock market is not even a fraction of yours. Thank you for not abandoning me. I will remember your kindness."

Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh at this.

That’s right, although there is a servile side to the Japanese national character, they can be quite mean sometimes.

But I have to admit that they are indeed good slaves.

Like now, if you put your feet on them, they will actively give you a massage, which is still very pleasant.

Especially at the moment, this guy is pretty good, capable and cautious enough, and he is not doing anything fishy.

Ning Weimin is using this Sagawa Kenichi very smoothly, and I hope we can continue to cooperate.
So it is inevitable to give some praise and some sweet treats.

"Okay, stop being polite. You did a good job and I am very satisfied. I hope you will keep working hard. As for this trip back, I brought a lot of French specialties, such as LV handbags, Dior perfume, Hennessy cognac and so on. Your wife must also like this brand of handbags and perfumes. I prepared some for you. There are too many bags to bring here, so they are in my car. We will leave together in a while and you can take them back. They are New Year and Christmas gifts."

"This... is such an expensive gift. I'm really embarrassed."

Sagawa Kenichi bowed his head deeply, and was indeed very moved. "You are so generous. I am so grateful for your consideration."

Yes, Ning Weimin was not a stingy person.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It has given him an income far exceeding the industry standard and the confidence to maintain his dignity in front of his superiors.

Now that she has returned to China, she has brought him a gift, which is something he didn't expect.

Such a gift is no longer just a material reward, but also represents a recognition of his loyalty.

Ning Weimin, who imitated Liu Da'er's way of winning people's hearts, carefully observed Sagawa Kenichi's facial expression and felt that he was speaking from the heart. He could not help but continue to show concern, "This is what you deserve, Sagawa, don't worry about it. Oh, by the way, did your boss in the sales department make things difficult for you?"

"No, the current sales department is very generous to me. Of course, it's all because of you. If I didn't have you as a customer, I would have ended up in a different situation."

"Haha, it's not that serious. But I will soon be able to collect another sum of money from the Bank of France, about 3 billion francs, and then I will have to ask you to help me invest in the Japanese stock market. Of course, it will also require capital allocation. You can continue to buy for me as you did last time."

"Okay, President." Sagawa Kenichi responded, "But...excuse me for saying one more thing, after all, the market has been rebounding for so long, aren't you afraid of systemic risks in the market?"

"It's okay. As long as the Japanese government continues to stick to its loose monetary policy and keep interest rates low, there will be no problem. Don't worry about me. Just get your commission and enjoy it."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions at any time. Also, does Hanwa Kogyo want to buy more? It's almost reaching the critical point where an announcement is needed..."

"Don't worry, I'll let President Kitamo of Hanwa Kogyo know. Don't worry..."

Kenichi Sagawa said yes again, and the respect in his heart had reached a new level.

To be honest, he has to be respectful.

Apart from anything else, Ning Weimin made a fortune from Japan's national disaster. He made a lot of money in this stock market crash, and his assets expanded. The current stock market profits, plus his personal capital, have reached the level of 100 billion yen. One person can replace a medium-sized listed company.

More importantly, all the stocks he holds can be converted into cash in an instant, while most medium-sized listed companies can hardly afford such a large amount of liquidity.

From this perspective, Ning Weimin can even be said to be able to replace an entire large listed company on his own.

This is particularly true for a young man in his twenties who started from scratch.

Especially this is not the end yet. Once Ning Weimin's main force funds have fully entered the stock market and laid out the game, it is expected that they can expand several times again in the future.

Therefore, Kenichi Sagawa had no choice but to be disrespectful, as he was well aware of the power of wealth.

It is even difficult to understand why Ning Weimin is so calm about wealth.

To be honest, if it were him, he would have been so happy that he would have gone crazy and found a bunch of women to live a life of luxury. Maybe he couldn't hold on to so much money, and would have sold it all at 10 billion yen and never entered the stock market again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten the most important thing, so he quickly took out the welcoming gift he had prepared and presented it to Ning Weimin.

"What is this?" Looking at the two keys on the table, Ning Weimin didn't understand what he meant.

"This is a gift from Nomura Securities Central Sales Department to congratulate you on regaining the title of the top customer. I suggested that they buy you a Ferrari and a yacht..."

"yacht?"

"Yes, a yacht..."

Now, it was finally Ning Weimin's turn to be surprised.

Because he had tried Alain Delon's yacht in France before, he was a little envious.

I am considering getting a boat so that I can drive it myself and take my wife for a ride around Tokyo Bay when I have nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, Sagawa helped him realize his wish. He is truly a good and considerate subordinate.

Oh, the more he looked at Sagawa, the more satisfied he was, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to give him a suite!
Oh my god!
No, no, houses in Tokyo are too expensive! This is irrational!

I must restrain myself and calm down... (End of this chapter)
