National Tide 1980

However, after that, the development of the situation actually entered the stage where Ning Weimin was enlightened and had a new understanding.

Because what happened next was not only within his expectation, but also far beyond his expectation.

First of all, it is exactly what Zuo Chuan said.

Due to the rudeness first, President Beimao of Banwa Kogye was really embarrassed to let Ning Weimin suffer innocent suspicion in vain.

So after the negotiation, this guy not only showed a reassuring smile, but also took the initiative to reach out to Ning Weimin to show his goodwill.

He also gave Ning Weimin a set of valuable Western gilt silver tableware as a disguised apology gift.

This set of sterling silver tableware is cleverly designed and intricately crafted.

With various techniques such as hammering, carving, relief, hollowing, and inlay, it is a set of highly artistic vessels.

There are twenty-six pieces in total, including ten pairs of knives and forks, soup spoons, dessert forks and three condiment bottles. The amount of silverware alone must weigh several kilograms.

And it's still in an expensive sharkskin box.

Ning Weimin is a man who knows the goods. He visually estimated that this set of tableware must be worth at least ten thousand US dollars.

As a result, the resentment of being questioned for no reason dissipated a lot.

Of course, with Ning Weimin's sophistication in dealing with matters, he also made preparations for gifts, so as not to fall into the taboo of "taking advantage of others".

Anyway, he brought a lot of Chinese handicrafts to Tokyo this time. At this time, he asked Zuo Chuan to take them out by head and made a generous return gift.

Although it was impossible to achieve a completely equivalent exchange, because Chinese handicrafts were rare and scarce in Japan, it was enough to surprise Sakawa Kogye.

Now that it's done, everyone has face and gain, and the atmosphere is even better.

After the meal started, both parties found a suitable topic, and there was no awkwardness at all.

The content of the conversation shifted from Chinese culture to Ning Weimin's purpose of coming to Tokyo and his views on Tokyo.

After learning that Ning Weimin had actually invented a new type of suitcase that could reduce the burden of travel, and had established a brand company and agency based on it, he planned to use Tokyo as a base to vigorously develop the Asian market.

Several people on Banhe Xingye's side couldn't help but have a little more respect and admiration for Ning Weimin.

For no other reason than because few Japanese young people born after the war have the courage to start their own business.

Nowadays, young people in Japan are willing to eat ready-made food.

It is his lifelong ambition to be admitted to a prestigious university and then work in a large company.

In comparison, individual entrepreneurs like Ning Weimin who dare to think and act are so lacking in Japan today that they have become a rare breed.

But in fact, this is the standard model for promising young people.

In particular, President Kitashiro of Banwa Kogye is not only an old-school thinker, but he is also an outspoken Osaka native who values ​​economic acumen the most.

In addition, he personally didn't go to school, so he made his living from scratch by going to Tokyo to work.

Therefore, out of empathy, he had a lot of inexplicable affection for young people like Ning Weimin, who came to Tokyo alone to work hard and actually achieved great results.

What's more, conversely, in his previous life, Ning Weimin had seen President Beimao's high spirits while speculating in foreign exchange many times in documentaries about Japan's bubble economy.

He knows very well that investing in exchange rates is what this guy is most proud of.

So he deliberately went to his liking and turned the topic to Japan's current economic environment.

In particular, the questions he deliberately asked for advice were deliberately catered to Beimao's preferences and scratched his itch.

In this case, can the two of them still have a good conversation?

President Beimao seemed to have found a confidant, chattering endlessly and full of interest.

The two discussed the future direction of the Japanese economy from the "Plaza Agreement", the policies adopted by the Ministry of Finance, the appreciation of the local currency, the exchange rate trend, foreign trade, the consequences of interest rate cuts.

It's like two investment experts engaging in a financial game that only they can understand.

For this reason, the Beimao president was so excited that he not only showed a strong interest in Ning Weimin's trolley suitcase.

He proposed to buy eighty for employees of Banhe Industrial who often travel on business, even if it was to support Ning Weimin.

In addition, he also proposed a big deal that would be of great benefit to both parties.

President Beimao no longer cares about the traditional business of exporting round steel and steel wires at Ganqingban and Xingye.

His mind was entirely on the exchange rate business.

Therefore, the company's main business has become increasingly deserted, and even some companies' warehouses have begun to become idle.

Ning Weimin's trolley suitcases are completely imported and are selling well. The agency business of Dadao Trading Company is booming.

So President Beimao had an idea, and taking into account the different needs of both parties, he took the initiative to ask Ning Weimin if he was willing to take over Ichibanwa Industrial's industrial warehouse.

According to Beimao, Banwa Kogye has an industrial warehouse of tens of thousands of square meters in Shinagawa District. It was originally used to store round steel, but now the output has dropped and it is idle.

Although the warehouse is old, it is fully equipped with fire prevention and anti-theft equipment and can be used normally.

If Ning Weimin is interested, he can sell it to him for 2 billion yen, as long as Ning Weimin can pay the full amount as soon as possible.

He can use the money to increase his investment in the foreign exchange market.

There is no doubt that how could Ning Weimin not be interested in this mutually beneficial idea?

In fact, before returning to China during the Spring Festival this year, I was still worried that the warehouse was too small.

But it’s not that easy to find a suitable place. This is a warehouse, not a commercial property, and the distance from the port must also be considered.

So in fact, for Ning Weimin, the benefits he can get from it are much greater than that of Banhe Xingye.

If a deal is reached, for him, it will not only solve the warehousing problem, but also make a fortune in land and house prices in the future.

Just like that, the next day, Ning Weimin didn't waste any time and actually went to see it on the spot.

It turned out that the warehouse was really good.

Not only does it have complete facilities, convenient transportation, and is very close to Tokyo Port, but the future potential of the land cannot be underestimated.

Even the price is not expensive. According to the current land price, a reasonable price would be at least nearly 3 billion yen. It is really a good deal.

So he immediately replied to Beimao, saying he wanted it happily.

After signing the contract and completing the formalities, the full amount can be paid immediately.

In this way, not only Ning Weimin's most troublesome warehouse problem was successfully solved.

Moreover, President Beimao can also get a large amount of money to invest in the exchange rate business.

If Banhe Industrial makes more money, it will also contribute to the appreciation of Ning Weimin's stocks.

No matter how people think, there is simply no such good thing in the world. It is like killing three birds with one stone.

I have to say that Zuo Chuan Jianyi really gave Ning Weimin good advice, thanks to listening to this guy.

Otherwise, if you miss such a good thing that is rare but cannot be sought, the loss will be too great.

And once this was done, Ning Weimin felt a little wanton and unruly.

It must be said that once a person's wealth reaches a certain level, everything seems to become easier.

He can always accomplish things that are particularly troublesome and difficult to succeed in the eyes of ordinary people.

It's like this kind of transaction like picking up money. If you look for it outside, you won't find it at all.

It can only happen under special conditions and between two people with equal assets.

Because that saying is absolutely true - money can help.

Money is a person's resource and a person's credibility.

Although Ning Weimin violated President Beimao's taboo due to equity issues.

But his assets also help him virtually reduce the cost of establishing mutual trust required under normal transaction processes, allowing both parties to get what they need from each other as quickly as possible.

And this is the true meaning of the "Matthew Effect": the strong will always be strong.

In fact, the most perfect deal is like this.

Both parties to the transaction do not care about what they have to pay, and are satisfied with what they get from the transaction.

But are these all Ning Weimin’s gains?

No!

In addition, it must be said that the surprise Zuo Chuan Jianyi brought to Ning Weimin was actually no less than what President Beimao gave him.

Logically speaking, after this meeting with President Beimao, Ning Weimin should give Zuo Chuan Jianyi some rewards.

As the saying goes, there is still hard work without credit.

Instead of quarreling with Zuo Chuan for the great benefit that he had gained, he ran against Zuo Chuan and did many things that were not within the scope of his work. Ning Weimin shouldn't be too stingy.

But in fact, Ning Weimin's contribution was basically nothing. This was not really because he was stingy, but because he simply didn't have such an opportunity.

Because he just decided to transfer the two sums of money he had just borrowed from the French into two accounts in his own name.

As soon as Zuo Chuan was informed of the news, he didn't even have time to reveal his subsequent plans.

In exchange, Zuo Chuan Jianyi shed tears of gratitude and was infinitely satisfied.

Wait until Ning Weimin continues to reveal that he wants to continue to increase financing leverage with his own funds.

He asked Zuo Chuan if it was possible to raise more money.

Then Zuo Chuan Jianyi simply respected Ning Weimin as a god.

Not only did he promise to give Ning Weimin twice the leverage, he also took the initiative to offer a one-point discount on the financing interest.

He even knelt down to express his gratitude.

Looking at him like that, I really wanted to grow a tail and wag it in front of Ning Weimin.

However, the most jaw-dropping scene occurred a few days later, when Ning Weimin finally received all the money.

With a huge amount of new capital of 13.5 billion yen in principal plus leverage, Zuo Chuan was ordered to start collecting funds with all his strength.

As soon as the day's trading ended, Zuo Chuan Jianyi saw that he did not let Ning Weimin leave.

Instead, he said that the head of his sales department wanted to see Ning Weimin and had something very important to tell him, related to his investment.

Then he led Ning Weimin through the office area of ​​the sales department to the back.

They walked further and further, and finally passed through an iron gate and came to the outside of the office building.

Just when Ning Weimin felt a little strange, and then had some doubts about Zuo Chuan Jianyi's motives.

Something even more magical happened. In the distance, a lot of applause suddenly sounded.

At this time, Ning Weimin took a closer look and realized that the place Zuo Chuan brought him to was the building parking lot behind the office building.

A dozen meters away in the distance were all employees wearing Nomura Securities work uniforms.

And just when Ning Weimin calmed down again and once again speculated on what this mysterious scene meant.

A man who claimed to be the manager of the sales department had already walked up to him, introduced himself enthusiastically, and took Ning Weimin over.

As a result, as Ning Weimin came closer, the employees of Nomura Securities dispersed with a roar.

Then...a stretched Cadillac sedan appeared behind them!

The general manager of the sales department personally handed the keys to the car to Ning Weimin.

Only then did he truly realize what was happening in front of him.

Nomura Securities Central District Sales Department actually gave him a brand new car!

A stretched version of the Cadillac sedan!

Black color, smooth spray paint, luxurious shape, elegant appearance.

Plus genius design and thoughtful interior decoration.

This extended version of the imported car clearly echoes the current flashy and pretentious social atmosphere in Tokyo.

Yes!

That's it!

Full of bubble economy flavor!

Not for anything else, just because his investment amount far exceeds that of others.

At this moment, he doesn't have to spend a penny, and this luxury car worth 40 million yen belongs to him.

Didn't I once guess what kind of return I would get from Nomura Securities if I invested all my money?

Today, they gave themselves this surprising answer.

It is easy to estimate that the total securities assets he has invested in Nomura Securities have reached 17 billion. After all the positions have been established, Nomura can take away 120 million yen in commissions, plus an additional 600 million a year. 70 million in financing interest.

For Nomura Securities, this transaction is certainly not a loss.

Even if they rewarded him with twenty Cadillacs, the account was barely evened.

But what does it matter?

After all, it was 40 million for free, and ordinary customers were not so lucky.

His treatment is enough to make others envious and jealous.

Besides, I can only drive one car at any time.

Nomura Securities gave herself such a gift just when she lacked a mobility car and Matsumoto Keiko always urged herself to buy a car.

What else does this make him dissatisfied with?

This gift from Nomura Securities is really just right and comes at just the right time.

There is no doubt that Ning Weimin naturally knows that a lot of this should be attributed to Zuo Chuan Jianyi.

This guy had always treated him with the courtesy a courtier would treat a king.

But how can people say good things about this?

We asked ourselves, ever since he had more money, the supply and demand relationship between him and Zuo Chuan had been completely reversed.

He gave less and received more.

On the contrary, Zuo Chuan gave him everything he had, but he only deserved to enjoy leftovers.

Although he was a little embarrassed personally, Zuo Chuan took this kind of thing for granted.

This can only be attributed to class differences.

Ning Weimin found that people with wealth and those without wealth really look at problems differently.

It's strange that sometimes, the stinginess of the rich seems to be enough comfort for the poor.

If Ning Weimin wanted to show his generosity, Zuo Chuan would be suspicious and uncomfortable.

This may be called a sequela of suffering.

In a sense, if a person has been immersed in the adversity of life for a long time, he will subconsciously think that his efforts are not worth mentioning, and he is not worthy of enjoying the happiness he deserves.

Naturally, they push away the happiness they can obtain, live contentedly in a situation of doing more but getting less, and gain a sense of security from being squeezed and exploited by the upper class.

This cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the poor and the limitations of thinking caused by class.

But on the other hand, the rich actually also have a kind of sadness.

That is the success of this class. Later, it is often no longer due to outstanding personal abilities.

Others can believe in you and are willing to help you simply because of the magic and inertia of money itself.

Once you get used to this taste, you often don't know how much you weigh.

Being born in sorrow and dying in happiness will be a curse that the wealthy class cannot escape.
