Chapter 878 Lower note(1/2)
The effects of the Plaza Accord are still unfolding.
Just like a heavy stone thrown into the lake, it causes layers of ripples, which are still expanding infinitely.
In fact, not only those who had in-depth interactions with Ning Weimin and were in the same trenches could enjoy the benefits of this feast, but their lives were different because of this incident.
There are also some people who are relatively unfamiliar with Ning Weimin and are purely cooperative.
I was also excited by the turmoil that detonated the international financial market, and gained a new understanding of Ning Weimin.
First of all, the person who felt the strongest impact was Axia, who was in charge of the underground bank business at the Great Wall Hotel.
In fact, even in the "circle" of the "second generation", Axia's company is well-known.
But even so, it was difficult for Axia to forget Ning Weimin, a person she had only met briefly and not had much contact with.
Not only because Ning Weimin is the youngest client she has ever received, but also because Ning Weimin is the person from the mainland who has the most frequent transactions and the highest amount of transactions.
Even after his people went abroad, one of his female subordinates still came to his door, constantly brought millions of RMB, converted them into Japanese yen, and input them into Ning Weimin's overseas account.
She couldn't help but wonder, how could Ning Weimin be so capable of mobilizing so much capital from the mainland and sending it out?
You know, the children of the red family who provided support for Axia's company only borrowed eight million from the bank to open the Guangming Hotel.
It was only thanks to their help that we were able to raise enough funds for this project.
The capital sent out by Ning Weimin is enough to operate such a project in the country.
This could not help but make her suspicious, thinking that Ning Weimin also had a special family background.
What's more, she cannot help but be interested in where these funds are going and the purpose to be achieved.
It was under this mentality that the Plaza Accord that took place on September 22 became the key point that stimulated Axia.
Based on her own tracking records, she could easily calculate how much money Ning Weimin could earn from the more than 10 million yuan he brought to Tokyo.
She was astonished to find that Ning Weimin's capital had actually appreciated to 20 million yuan if he had not spent any money!
This amount of money would be considered a huge sum of money even in Tokyo, Japan! It is almost an amount of money that Japanese people would hardly earn in their lifetime.
Not to mention that it seems extraordinarily high on a young man in his 24s and 50s from the Mainland.
So out of intuition, Axia felt from the bottom of her heart that Ning Weimin's luck in getting rich did not come out of thin air by recalling the details of Ning Weimin's visit.
He should have done it with a plan and purpose, maybe he had a special source of intelligence.
And logically speaking, this plan to make a fortune should have just begun.
For this reason, Axia felt that Ning Weimin's overseas footprints were worth tracking, and the Japanese yen's market price should also be fully optimistic.
So she sorted out her thoughts and contacted her boss who had just returned to Hong Kong City as soon as possible. She wanted to apply to Mr. Hong and ask if he could send someone to investigate Ning Weimin's situation in Tokyo and increase his investment in Japanese yen.
But I didn't expect that the weather would be bad.
The plan she was full of confidence and expectation not only never got a chance to be spoken out, but when she called her, she got bad news.
Her boss is behind bars in Hong Kong City and is in big trouble.
She didn't know what was going on and waited anxiously for three days before Mr. Hong called her.
As soon as the call was connected, the other party said directly, "Axia, I've been framed here. It may be very troublesome. Now I have just been released on bail and I am using the lawyer's phone number to contact you. However, there is still a note staring at me.
"
"Brother Teddy, what's going on? How could you be arrested?"
"There is a traitor in the society. He is willing to be an informant for the foreign devils. The society deceived me into returning to Hong Kong City. It was the guy who made the first move. He found many false witnesses and accused me of selling 'flour'."
"But...but you have already washed your hands and not sold it for four years..."
"Are the facts so important? If someone wants to mess with me, as long as the lie is not exposed, then it is the truth."
"Then... what should we do now? Do you need money? How much? I will find a way to give it to you right away..."
"Hey, Axia. This is what I want to tell you. Listen carefully. After this phone call, you must not contact me. Put your business in the mainland away and don't stay in the mainland.
, you can find a way to convert all the money into hard currency and remit it to your account. In three months, we will meet in Thailand. If I don't show up, the money will be yours. It should be able to keep you comfortable with food and clothing for the rest of your life.
I only ask you one thing, help me take good care of my daughter and raise her to adulthood. Others only know that I have a dozen celebrity girlfriends, but not many people know that I have a daughter. So don’t worry, you will be safe..."
These words were almost equivalent to entrusting the funeral arrangements. Axia held the phone in her hand and cried immediately.
"Brother Teddy, don't scare me. You must be fine too. I'll wait for you in Thailand..."
However, Mr. Hong himself has already looked away. "People in Jianghu are destined to be in the Jianghu, and there is a cycle of cause and effect in life. In fact, it is not unjust for me to be arrested. After all, I have done so many bad things in the past. But you are different. You and I
My daughters are very important to me. Ah Xia, in fact, I have not let you in Hong Kong City for so many years. I have not let you stay with me because I know the risks. Once something happens to me, you will not be implicated if you are on the outside.
Let's do this, let's take care of each other. By the way, one last thing to tell you, be careful and do it as soon as possible. Once the news of my accident spreads, it will not be safe for you there. Those friends in the mainland are not vegetarians. Do you understand? "
Listening to the busy signal after hanging up on the phone, Axia, who was worried about Mr. Hong, had already burst into tears.
But she was not an ordinary woman after all. After crying, she began to think about her own situation, how to safely end the underground bank's business and quietly retreat from the capital.
The most troublesome thing is, what should she do with a large amount of RMB in her hand?
While hesitating, Axia suddenly thought of Ning Weimin again. It was as if Axia saw a bright light and had a backbone.
Yes, all converted into Japanese yen! Worth a try!
Of course, compared to Axia who was far away in the capital, some people in Tokyo, Japan, who were with Ning Weimin, felt more deeply.
For example, Kenichi Sagawa, director of the Central District Sales Department of Nomura Securities, was summoned by his immediate boss because Ning Weimin made a lot of money in the stock market. He walked into the office of the branch manager with caution and anxiety.
"Sagawa-kun, this week's data report has come up. Your business performance is very good. I heard that you have an additional high-level customer in your name, right? When you opened the account, you remitted 260,000 yen. He is still in our sales department.
The amount of financing doubled! In less than two weeks, all the capital investment was completed. It’s amazing! Thank you for your hard work!”
Although Kenichi Sagawa nodded in response, he was a little flattered and did not dare to take credit.
"Hey, it does happen. But... this client came to us on his own. He probably values the scale of Nomura Securities and its reputation and reputation in the industry. So... I feel really ashamed about the hard work.
To put it bluntly, it should be considered lucky."
"Luck? Luck is also a kind of strength. Sagawa-kun is too modest. In fact, who doesn't rely on luck? Especially those who are engaged in our securities industry? Are accidents and surprises part of our job content?"
The branch manager laughed, apparently not really caring about Kenichi Sagawa's additional explanation.
And what he cared about was revealed in the next words.
"No matter what, please continue to work hard, Sagawa-kun. I hope your performance will be great again next month! I am looking forward to your performance. You should know that as soon as the yen appreciates, the company will have a negative impact on our business."
Higher expectations. Sagawa-kun is now the backbone of the branch. He should be able to help me and make our branch's business more outstanding, right? We are the sales department of Chuo District, and we must strive to be the company-wide sales department.
First Sales Department.”
But Sagawa was a little overwhelmed by such high regard. After all, good things like falling in love cannot happen forever.
It is impossible for him to have the ability to influence the performance of the branch.
"This... I am very grateful for your favor. But... I must be honest, it is very accidental that I have such good business results this month. It all depends on this unexpected high-net-worth customer. Next month
If so, although I will definitely work harder, I am afraid that my ability is not enough... What if the branch requires better results? I am really worried that I will live up to your expectations..."
Sagawa looked very embarrassed.
But even though he said this, the branch manager thought it was just a courtesy.
"Hey? Don't say that. You already have such high-net-worth outstanding customers. Don't you still know how to increase your performance? Don't be ridiculous, Sagawa-kun, you have been in the industry for ten years. Why are you still talking about such a layman?
What about? It’s just asking your customers to do more on-site transactions. I heard that your customer is very young, so that’s not what you’re talking about?”
The branch manager's words immediately made Kenichi Sagawa sweat on his forehead.
He immediately lowered his head to apologize and further explained his difficulties.
"Yes, that's what you said. But there are some special circumstances that you don't know. This customer is not Japanese, but a foreigner from China. There are still certain language barriers to communication. And this customer is not at all
Like a person from a third world country. He uses an offshore company in Hong Kong to buy stocks. He also has his own opinions on stock selection. He chooses almost none of the stocks recommended by the company, and only targets small securities companies and real estate.
Company. In terms of stock investment, except for some confusion about the specific procedures, there is no unfamiliarity at all. Although he is a young man, he is a skilled veteran. Not to mention that the "Plaza Accord" happened just after he established a position, which made him make a lot of money.
A big sum. It is difficult for such a client to be influenced by the opinions of others. In fact, yesterday I was trying to persuade him to take profits and invest in other stocks. But he refused without hesitation, saying that he hoped to hold the position for a long time.
Yes. So...so this matter is not easy, and I hope you can understand."
Seeing Kenichi Sagawa bowing to him one after another, the branch manager was silent for a while, and his expression gradually changed.
Indeed, that is true.
To be honest, securities companies are actually afraid of such backbone customers.
If you have certain financial knowledge, you like to follow the trend when investing in stocks, you are not easily fooled, you do not blindly accept news, and you also like to hold it for the long term.
But after all, oppressing subordinates also belongs to the corporate culture of Japanese companies.
How can we stimulate enthusiasm for work if we don't kick and whip those who lack self-confidence and are timid?
Especially in the securities industry, the pressure on performance indicators is not generally high.
Even he, the branch manager, could hardly breathe.
To put it bluntly, in this industry there are only two ways to survive: eating to death or being scorned to death. No one can live comfortably.
If he understands Sagawa Kenichi's difficulties, who will understand him?
To be continued...
