Chapter 1426: Dog Licking

In December 1987, as the Japanese stock market continued to rebound and returned to an upward trend, Japanese society regained its confidence and optimism, and restored the prosperity before "Black Monday".

Whether at the national level or small businesses, whether it is wealthy and powerful or ordinary people, they all began to compete in the capital market.

First, the government completed the second sale of NTT as expected, and successfully sold 1.95 million shares of NTT to Japanese "leeks" at a high price of 2.55 million yen.

And those Japanese leeks bought such "pit" stocks, but they still cheered and fantasized that NTT could still make great strides like when it was first listed and break through the previous high.

Little did they know that it would be good if NTT stocks did not fall afterwards. Even when the Nikkei index reached the peak of the bubble economy two years later, NTT's stock price still failed to break through the previous high.

This is probably the cruelest side of the stock market. Retail investors are always the meat that is cut and eaten at will by multiple interest groups.

They thought they could move forward with the powerful national economy and enjoy the dividends of the times, but the final result was that they could only become stepping stones, and the worst kind.

Secondly, there is no shortage of radical investors in Japan.

Since Japanese society entered the bubble economy stage, the rise in stock prices and housing prices has spawned large and small speculative groups that are different from traditional chaebols.

Many of these speculative groups are run by relatively young people.

They are aggressive, like to take risks, and especially like financial games, which is very different from traditional businessmen like Kawamoto Genshiro who are steady and cautious.

However, precisely because they meet the characteristics of this era, these young people who dare to challenge have quickly achieved success in a very short time.

Just like this "Black Monday" happened.

Although these leveraged speculative groups were caught off guard and suffered painful losses without exception.

However, their radical style of risking everything, the financing convenience granted by Japan's loose fiscal policy, and the profit-seeking of securities companies have provided them with opportunities to increase investment in the stock market to save themselves.

Therefore, Ning Weimin was not the only speculator who stepped on the right time and ran back into the Japanese stock market after "Black Monday".

He may be the one who makes the most comfortable, easy and sure money, but he is not the one who makes the most money or the most ruthless money.

At this time, the few people who are based in Tokyo and are most enthusiastically pursued by the financial media are almost all young upstarts who control more than 5 billion US dollars worth of equity.

Compared with the "Tokyo Six Ghosts" in the early days of the bubble economy, they are a new generation of people who have become rich overnight, and their ferocity and moral bottom line are only better than those of the "Tokyo Six Ghosts".

Among them, the most famous and powerful person is Mitsuhiro Odani.

This guy started from scratch by running a hotel, and later became the head of the Guangxin Speculation Group.

Especially in the past one or two years, Mitsuhiro Odani has launched a lot of bold stock market speculation, raising stock prices, hoarding stocks, blackmailing with green tickets, and doing everything, earning more than 500 billion yen in capital.

And he not only has an unusually shrewd mind, but also has a strong network of relationships.

Including many politicians, company directors, Yakuza and bank executives.

Like this time when the stock market crashed, in order to make up for the losses, Kotani Mitsuhiro simply asked the bank to use loan financing to buy a listed company that makes ham, and told some relatives the news before raising the stock price.

Then he took advantage of the news that a prostitute in Kobe died of AIDS at the beginning of this year, and spread the gossip that the Japanese ham company he bought had extracted anti-AIDS factors from chicken bile.

Soon, as the market began to rebound, the stock price of this ham company immediately soared, and the market value increased fivefold to 230 billion yen.

At the same time, it actually promoted the company's ham to sell well, becoming a popular product that Japanese people are keen on.

In this way, it is simply stepping on the right foot with the left foot, and it is likely to further support the stock price to continue to rise.

It can be said that Kotani Mitsuhiro has most vividly proved how easy it is to change Japan's traditional interpersonal network for speculation.

Especially the way he speculates on theme stocks, even the four major brokerages that always do insider trading have to admit defeat.

In addition to Mitsuhiro Odani of Guangxin Group, there is another increasingly famous investment star, Taimichi Morishita, who came from Aichi Prefecture and started his career with money lending business.

Taimichi Morishita was not satisfied with being alone in a corner. After developing his money lending business to Tokyo, he not only invested in finding political agents, but also became obsessed with golf and developed golf courses in the United States.

As for his most well-known achievement in the early days of the bubble economy, it is probably the invention of the golf membership system and the introduction of this membership system to Japan.

Also because of the successful promotion of golf fever and hype of golf membership cards during the bubble economy, he became a billionaire overnight.

Not only that, he also acquired Trump Tower in New York some time ago. After the transaction was completed, he was invited to Trump's home for lunch, and the newly crowned heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson also joined him.

Unfortunately, even so, he could not help Trump escape the fate of bankruptcy.

In short, compared with Mitsuhiro Odani, he is better at using gossip to hype himself and increase his value.

This time when he encountered the stock market crash, he was able to raise a large amount of cash through various financing channels and successfully buy at the bottom because he had several golf courses to mortgage and his goodwill was reliable.

The result was also very satisfactory. He not only made back the money he lost in the stock market through buying at the bottom, but also doubled the profit.

Recently, he is promoting his more ambitious plan in the media - he plans to invite boxing champion Mike Tyson and Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger to have a boxing match and a concert at the Tokyo Dome, which is expected to open next year.

From this, it can be seen that this guy's confidence probably comes from the improvement of his financial situation.

After all, when people have money, they want to do big things. The richer they are, the more they want to do things that make a sensation. This is human nature.

And there is another person who can be compared with them, that is, Takahashi Osaka, who Ning Weimin accidentally passed by at the Chixia Club on December 1.

Takahashi Osaka is a top student who graduated from Keio University. Although neither he nor Ning Weimin has any memory of their first meeting, it must be said that they are quite similar in some characteristics and belong to the same type of people.

For example, they are both born speculators.

Just like Ning Weimin's life experience of secretly trading cheap goods with guests staying at the Chongwenmen Hotel and being expelled from the hotel.

Takahashi Osaka also had similar experiences in his life.

The fraud of party tickets at Keio High School is one of his life stains.

It turned out that when he was in Keio High School, he found that students were keen on attending various parties and party tickets could be charged, so he took the initiative to plan parties.

With the signboard of a famous school like Keio, it was easy for him to invite many beautiful girls outside the school to participate.

Therefore, party tickets are very popular.

It's just that because he attaches too much importance to ticket sales, sometimes he has already sold party tickets in advance before the venue is determined.

Occasionally, the venue of a few parties changed, and Takahashi Osaka did not take it seriously, but the school received reports from dissatisfied students and identified it as fraud.

As the mastermind, Takahashi Oshinori was ordered to drop out of school.

But even so, three years later, Takahashi Oshinori, who endured humiliation at Setagaya Gakuin High School, still returned to the Department of Economics at Keio University by studying hard and passing the entrance exam.

And he showed his unique values ​​as soon as he graduated.

He couldn't work peacefully and only liked to study investment and stocks.

As early as the second half of the 1970s, Takahashi Oshinori was keen on stock market speculation. In order to obtain funds and financial support, he even married the daughter of the Iwasawa family, who was known as the "Emperor of Hokkaido".

But unfortunately, this marriage speculation did not bring much benefit.

Because it was the time when the Liberal Democratic Party's Tanaka faction was at its strongest.

The Iwasawa family in Hokkaido was a businessman close to Fukuda Keifu, just a local tycoon.

As the target of the Tanaka faction's suppression, not only did they not have any chance to stand out, but they lost almost all their chips in an insider trading of political speculation.

As the shoemaker of the Iwasawa family, Takahashi Oshinori had only a few days of glory before he had to deal with the aftermath of his father-in-law, who was in a terrible defeat and had to deal with the aftermath of a lawsuit involving 32.9 billion yen in debt and fines.

The collapse of the Iwasawa "empire" was very thorough.

The Hokkaido TV station, the Toyota car dealership in Sapporo, and the Venus car dealership that originally belonged to the Iwasawa family were all confiscated or used to offset the debt.

Fortunately, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. When the resentful father-in-law passed away, he left his daughter and son-in-law an electronic peripheral equipment trading company with a small piece of land and a three-story building as a small inheritance.

And Takahashi Oshinori started his career highlight moment by serving as the vice president of this company.

Takasawa caught up with the trend of the economic bubble, which was a very lucky thing.

Originally, he was not satisfied with promoting the trade of electronic peripherals. After taking over the company left by his father-in-law, he renamed it "EIE" and began to shift the main business direction to real estate investment and stock investment.

What's more, at this time, the Long-term Credit Bank of Japan also began an active marketing strategy targeting small and medium-sized enterprises.

You know, "Long-term Credit Bank" is an excellent financial institution with a credit risk rating of 3A, and Takahashi's courage once combined with "Long-term Credit Bank" burst out with amazing power.

In fact, with the initial 1 billion yen loan from "Long-term Credit Bank", the land purchased by Takahashi Oshinori with this money quickly appreciated ten times, and it was just the eve of the bubble economy.

At the same time, Takahashi Oshinori, who had a certain amount of money capital, also began to use the connections he had built in the Keio system, through close contact and multiple gatherings, and hinted that he could introduce connections and give a lot of economic returns.

More and more Keio boys surrounded him, including those who worked in Dentsu and the credit department of "Long-term Credit Bank".

In this way, "EIE", which had no achievements in the industry, was invincible in real estate and stock market investments, and it seemed to have entered a glorious era where anyone could borrow money no matter how much they wanted.

After that, his company began to launch a fierce attack on the stock market in the bubble economy.

In 1986, Takahashi Osunori successfully promoted "EIE" to be listed and traded.

After that, he increased capital and expanded shares in the market in the name of "establishing a mobile phone company", raising 50 billion yen.

Then he used the 3.2 billion yen raised to purchase the Hyatt Hotel in Saipan.

In 1987, Takahashi Osaka started to build the Bilton Crystal Golf Club, operated the Royal Playground Golf Club, and invested 13 billion yen to buy the Sydney Regent Hotel in Australia.

He also invested 2.2 billion yen to establish the private Bond University.

The Black Monday raid did evaporate half of his company's stock market value, but it didn't matter. He had Keio's network and the backing of "Changyin" to meet his financing needs.

So after the disaster, when the stock market ended its volatility and entered a relatively stable period, he began to use the 100 billion yen raised from "Changyin" to raise his company's stock price in the market.

And in return, he also hyped up a wave of "Changyin"'s affiliated companies, and as a result, he caught up with the Nikkei index rebound and made a lot of money.

Now not only has the market value of his "EIE" company reached a high of 258 billion yen.

And he personally made a huge profit of 60 billion yen, and is ready to buy a building for his company in Tokyo and a private jet for himself.

In fact, when it comes to the style of being in high spirits and personal enjoyment, he is more of an expert than Ning Weimin.

But then again, there is one thing in his life that is not as good as Ning Weimin.

That is personal marriage. He compromised for his career and lacked a wife that he could love.

Although he and his wife have two children now, he has always felt that his emotional life is probably his lifelong regret. He only feels grateful to his wife, but never loves her.

Therefore, in order to make up for this deficiency, he began to linger in Ginza nightclubs and clubs.

Relying on the generosity of spending a lot of money, he sought comfort and compensation from the service of those hostesses.

So it can be said to be accidental or inevitable.

Originally, he only visited the Chixia Club by accident, but because he saw Maria, he was deeply fascinated from then on.

Takahashi Osaka is certainly not a boy with a head full of pure love, nor is he a loser who has never seen a woman.

But there are often exceptions in this world.

Some people are born with a preference for a certain style and appearance, and cannot resist that kind of attraction at all.

It's okay if you haven't seen it, but once you see it, you will never forget it and will think of it from time to time.

So from then on, Takahashi Oshinori became a regular customer of the Chixia Club. He had to spend at least one million yen at Chixia every night just to talk to Maria.

Even after discovering that Maria was looking for a way to sell Hennessy Cognac, he immediately took on the responsibility and spent tens of millions of yen to buy all the wine and beverages to use as annual gifts for his company.

Maria's promise to Ning Weimin was fulfilled just a few days later.

But even so, Maria did not show more intimacy to Takahashi Oshinori.

Maria thought very clearly that in terms of wealth, her income was enough to meet her needs.

After all, Takahashi Oshinori was a married man, and it was impossible for him to give up his original wife.

And she worked hard until now, just to find a man to rely on and be someone else's lover?

Give birth to an illegitimate child for someone else in the future?

Of course not.

Besides, Takahashi is not Ning Weimin, otherwise, she might consider it a little bit...

Perhaps this is called bad fate, and the more Maria is so cold, the more Takahashi Osaka is attracted to her.

In this way, this leader in the eyes of Keio University graduates, the head of a listed company, has unknowingly become a bootlicker.
