Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 508 Brave Neon, Not Afraid of Difficulties—by Dad Tao

   From this Friday after the market was closed, to be precise, from the afternoon before the market closed, the blood-colored haze began to gather little by little.

   But only a tiny bit.

   These first collapsed people were all the most fanatical gamblers in the process of the bubble economy. How much money did they borrow and at what level did they enter the market, because the first day's decline was completely desperate, which requires follow-up investigations.

  Reality is magical.

  From the beginning of 1986 when Tao Zhiming was reborn, the Neon stock index has tripled in the past three years.

  According to this increase, those who are not so gambling, those who hold for a long time, really can withstand this wave of so-called "Blood Friday".

   Even the major media just regard this as a particularly hot news material. The reporters were scattered like beans, interviewing everywhere.

   Not only is concerned about the tragedy, but also hope to get some reactions from various people.

   After get off work on Friday, the streets of Tokyo were suddenly crowded.

  After five years of bubble economy, the originally restrained neon people, especially the new generation of neon young people who have caught up with the good times, are all cheerful and confident.

   "Excuse me, the Neon stock index fell more than 2800 points today, do you know the news?"

   Downstairs of an office building near Ginza, the reporter caught a young employee who had just walked out of the office building to interview.

   "I heard!" The staff members were all smiles.

   "Have you invested in the stock market? How are your returns today?"

"In my case, because I haven't been employed for three years, I don't have much money to invest." The member said lightly, "But the stocks I held unexpectedly did not fall today, but rose a little. Probably, earning 130,000 yen."

   "It's amazing!" The reporter was surprised, "Which stocks are you investing in?"

As soon as the member's eyes moved, he said cheerfully: "Since I heard that President Tao participated in the next year's treasury bond issuance coordination meeting between the Tibet Province and the Central Bank as a special director, I believed that the disturbance about him should be over, so I bought it. Those listed companies that President Tao invested in in the past, such as Bandai and Keyence…”

   This kind of satisfaction that others have lost blood and I have earned makes this young member very happy today.

   Moreover, under this kind of market, there must be some people who are in a hurry to get out of the plummeting stocks and look for more potential stocks. The ones that did well today may see a flood of buyers next.

  Ordinary members have their own tricks to publicize these stocks more, and wait for the new buyers to raise the price a little more, can't they cash out and leave the market?

   With such a lucky person, it is more of a real loss today.

   Even so, facing the reporters, he still looked calm and composed: "That's how the stock market is, sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down. If you want to invest in stocks, you can't do it without a strong mental quality."

   "Then do you think this fall will rise back up after the market reopens?"

"Of course." The answer was clear, "I am not a short-term speculator. Long-term investment is based on the development of Neon's overall economic strength. In fact, I welcome the measures to raise interest rates! Only those who are irrational All speculators left in disappointment, only then can the stock market re-order and start again with savings. I am very confident in the future of Neon!"

   Kuku bowed and left, the middle-aged member got on the tram, but his hands were clenched tightly while turning over the newspaper, and the knuckles were white.

In the huge inertia of the    era, this day's decline is only for those who have collapsed.

  The stock is still in hand, as long as it has not been sold, it is not a loss, and it will rise back anyway.

  The banknotes are actually held in their hands. At this time when the completion of employment is not a problem, there are many people with banknotes in their hands.

   Every year on December 31st, it is called the "big dark day" by the neon people. This day is like New Year's Eve in the Xia Kingdom. The fixed program in the evening is the Red and White Song Party, which has been broadcast since 1951.

   This program organized by NHK divides female singers into the red group and male singers into the white group for a singer competition.

   So this weekend is very paradoxical. On the one hand, there are sharp discussions about the plummeting of the neon stock market and the open war in the central bank’s Tibetan province.

   In the selection of singers to appear in November, although Tao Zhiming was involved in the "golden power transaction" scandal at that time, the singers under WanderStar were really dazzling this year. Therefore, headed by Sakai Izumi, not only the combination of Miyuki Asuka and Nagumo Chiyo was included in the list of appearances, but also Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka also relied on Tao Zhiming to make "big news" at that time. The song that came out has reached the Oricon chart, which has been called the regret of the red and white song festival in the first year of Heisei by many people.

   And on this day, because of a news announced by NHK at the press conference the previous day, more people were ready to watch the evening song party.

This news is very outrageous: because WanderStar's rock band with Otomi-go and Kimura Takuya as the dual lead singers was originally the singer of the white group, and Tao Zhiming was in the final show of "The Last Echo of the Showa Era" at that time and Nakamori Akina's concert. The rock band performed together and was therefore included as a special guest performer and a special guest judge.

  The Red and White Song Club invites 10 celebrities from the entertainment, music, culture, media and other industries every year. They not only serve as judges, but also interact with the host a lot, which is one of the highlights of the show.

   With Tao Zhiming's "achievement" in the music industry, of course there is no problem in serving as this guest examiner.

   But not only as a guest examiner, but also a performance, which sends a very important signal: The "scandal" allegations about Tao Zhiming are probably over.

  Because by convention, performers cannot be involved in scandals, especially scandals that have a great impact and are real.

   Now he can perform and judge at the same time. Isn't this outrageous? This shows that Tao Zhiming's involvement in the so-called "golden power transaction" has finally come to an end?

   More importantly, Tao Zhiming has other identities: the youngest millionaire of tens of billions of dollars, the person who triggered the resignation of Hashimoto Taro and Miyazawa Kiji's rise to power.

  The **** of finance who walks the world, why does he appear at the red and white song party at this moment?

   Is this some signal that the Ministry of Tibet and the Central Bank are ready to release? Is the war in the cabinet over? The stock market has plummeted, and neither the cabinet, who has publicly stated that "real estate prices need to be restrained," or the Mie Nofu who advocates financial austerity, will not directly take action to save the stock market in such a hurry. So, do you want to use the mouth of this "God of Finance" to say something?

  At 6 o'clock in the evening, in the Tokyo Yachting Home Port, the luxury yacht fleet consisting of yachts such as Taoran and BravoPeach set sail on time.

   This is a special New Year's Eve event specially planned by BravoSport.

  Taoran’s ticket is as high as 15 million yen, and other small and medium-sized yachts are only available for charter.

   Yosuke Ueno, Yosui Akayan, Runa Onodera, and Yuta Irie co-hosted the New Year's Eve party on the Taoran boat, where celebrities from Tokyo gathered.

   This is Vanity Fair worth 150,000 meters a night. At this sensitive moment when the neon stock market suddenly plummeted, the president of Onodera Fortune, who is about to go public, was also there. With the red and white song festival played by Tao Zhiming as the background performance, the rich who can afford the ferry tickets have made up their minds tonight to get some golden secrets from Onodera Fortune. Hong Kong stock market has the upper hand.

The tail seam also came over from Osaka. The Taoran was holding a buffet dinner before the start of the red and white song party, and the two most popular women in the Kanto and Kansai metropolitan areas naturally gathered in a cabin on the top deck. inside.

   Looking at the elegant and extravagant Runa Onodera, there was a feeling of envy in Osami's heart.

   What a lucky woman.

   If she hadn't met President Tao, would she have the status she has now? Being young really has an advantage. Although she is not the best looking group, the time she met him, even before that Miss Ueda, was an advantage.

   This also shows that President Tao is a person who attaches great importance to feelings.

So Ogami said: "Mrs. Runa, please bear with me about my withdrawal from Onodera's wealth. We are all very familiar with each other, and you know that my funds involve too many people. That At times, it is not up to me to call the shots.”

   Onodera Runa bowed politely and said, "You're serious. In the circumstances at that time, we also advised important private equity clients to do that first. After all, at that time, no one knew where things would go in the end."

   "Fortunately, the matter is over now." Ogami asked tentatively, "President Tao can be invited to participate in the meeting of the Tibet Province and the Central Bank, and to participate in tonight's red and white singing party, should the negotiation be completed?"

"Yeah." Onodera Runa replied sighingly, "If it wasn't for unavoidable necessity, the president would not want to be portrayed as the so-called **** of finance. Once this image is accepted by the public, it is now being received from various parties. This kind of supervision and pressure. You are also doing investment and financial management, and you should understand that the listing of Onodera Wealth is actually a last resort, especially at this moment.”

   Seeing Rana Onodera's worried expression, the upper seam nodded in approval.

  If it is not listed, the operational space will naturally be much larger, and it will not be tied down due to routine and temporary supervision and inspections every year. And some special personnel are more inclined to manage their wealth through secret channels, rather than high-profile listed companies.

   Besides, the stock market is falling sharply now. When Onodera Fortune is listed at the end of next month, if the market is still falling, it will be ugly if the stock price cannot rise once it is listed.

  Thinking of this, the tail slit tentatively asked: "So, President Tao should do something, right?"

"There's no way to do anything." Onodera Runa said helplessly, "If the stock market will go back up and the result will still fall, Onodera's wealth will lose its credibility; if the stock market will fall, it will cause the stock index to fall faster, and It is not conducive to the listing of Onodera Fortune. And no matter what, there will always be losers in the stock market, and then the blame will be directed at him."

"...A double-edged sword." Osamasu thought about it too, but her situation was urgent, so she stopped going around in circles and asked bluntly, "Mrs. Runa, now the so-called 'Golden Power Transaction' storm has passed, Has Onodera Fortune been able to accept funds from private clients again?"

"I'm busy with listing now." Onodera Rana didn't say anything to death, "According to the rules that listing companies should abide by, it will probably take April and May of the following year to determine the new agreement text and re-accept important private customers. commission."

   "April next year?" Tail Shang Seong's liver trembled, then there were at least 100 days left, and she needed to pay more than 10 billion yen in interest, "Is there no other way?"

   Onodera Runa was a little surprised: "Mrs Ogami, do you mean that you lost a lot on Friday?"

"That...that's not it." Although Osami had entrusted funds to Onodera Wealth before, he was reluctant to admit that he was too incompetent, and immediately said, "Because of the market on Friday, more people in Kansai hope to The funds are handed over to me. Diversifying more investment channels is also a way to reduce risks.”

   She actually wanted to ask how Onodera Fortune is investing in the most important customers at the core, but since it is no longer a client of the other party, no matter from Onodera Runa or Tao Zhiming, she can't get any hints.

   "Oh?" Onodera Rana smiled, "You have more funds now? How much do you want to spread out?"

  Sew on the tail heard that there was a play, and immediately said: "I can spend 500 billion yen!"

   Onodera Rana was taken aback: "5...500 billion?"

  The seam on the tail was cool, and nodded proudly: "That's right. If you have such a huge amount of money, there should be a special way, right?"

   Onodera Rana couldn't help biting her lip, and looked at the seam on her tail in surprise.

  This is not something she can call the shots, but she can ask first: "Mrs Ogami, the source of such a huge amount of money should not only come from your ordinary family customers in Kansai, right?"

"Of course." Ou Shangxiu hesitated for a while, since he was jealous of the stable dividends that Onodera's wealth has brought her in the past few years, he said calmly, "After Friday, the consortiums are looking for more other channels to help open the market later. Afterwards, we will maintain the stock price. More than half of the 500 billion yen is loaned to me by the banks of the consortium and other financial societies. Of course, the interest rate policy is very favorable, and it is still the lowest before the interest rate hike. "

Now that the words have been said, the tail seam simply said bluntly: "The more they do this, the more I worry that the stock market will be very optimistic after the year. Although the interest rate is very low, and no mortgage is required, once they buy the stocks they require But it still falls, and I will still have to repay the principal and interest at that time. In this part, I trust President Tao's judgment more, after all, he is already personally involved in the negotiation between the consortiums. "

   Onodera Runa's heart thumped: "So many loans are purely credit loans?"

"That's right." Ogami knew his own affairs and didn't say it in detail, "Actually, this is just a part of the funds I got this time. The other ones will be taken out to complete their entrustment. Those parts, even if they really can't do anything to lose. They also promised to postpone the repayment. But I still hope to take this opportunity to get more income, so I took out a large share. Mrs. Runa, if there is a special way, the dividend will be distributed. The ratio is negotiable between us."

   Onodera Rana was shocked.

  500 billion yen, is it all just a part?

  Are the consortiums in Kansai crazy? Or is it the result of the "internal response" that Dalang said, Horikawa Nobuhiko, actively provoked?

If   500 billion yen is only part of it, doesn’t that mean that a large number of banks and private financial societies in Kansai gave this woman nearly 1 trillion yen without asking for mortgages, but just credit loans?

  Why is she so courageous? The so-called deferred repayment conditions, dare to take so much money?

   Even at the interest rate before the rate hike, how much is the interest per day for 1 trillion yen?

   "...This matter, I..." Onodera Rana didn't shy away, she gritted her teeth and looked at her watch and said, "The president's side should not officially start, I'll have a phone call with him."

   NHK's newly completed performance hall, Tao Zhiming is putting on makeup in the special guest room.

   Ogata Toshio walked in with the phone and whispered, "President Onodera is calling, there is something very important."

  Tao Zhiming picked up the phone calmly: "It's me, what happened to you?"

   "Is it convenient to talk now? It's related to the biggest customer in Kansai."

   Tao Zhiming's mouth curled slightly: "I see. Promise her first."

   "Huh?" Onodera Rana was shocked, she hadn't said anything.

   "I'll finish the activities here, and I'll pass by. I'll talk about it later."

   Onodera Rana heard that the phone over there hung up, looked at the seam of the tail, who was a little nervous, and then laughed and said, "The president said that he will come over after the event at NHK is over."

"That…"

   "The biggest customer on the relationship side is of course you, don't worry. So, I have to say it again," Onodera Rana bowed, "Please take care of me in the future."

  The upper seam of the tail suddenly felt relieved, and he also bowed politely: "Where is it, please take care of you and President Tao in the future."

   With the past income level, the principal of 500 billion yen is enough to make me not need to worry about the current daily interest.

   NHK's performance hall, Tao Zhiming was in a good mood.

  When the boat sailed, he naturally knew the list of guests. Since Onodera Rana was talking about the seam on the tail, then her intention is very clear.

  The seam on the tail is a very important part of the plan of the Sanyou Foundation. Mitsui, Sumitomo, Iwasaki Ryunosuke, and Horikawa Nobuhiko all know it. In the past, she was a VVVIP customer of financial institutions such as Industrial Bank and Fuji Bank.

   At this special moment, there are so many people hooking on her at the same time. She already has a huge loan and needs to pay interest every day, but she has no real talent. What decision can she make?

   Gamblers, always thinking about the last chance.

   "I'm sorry..." At the door, a staff member in NHK work uniform came in and said respectfully, "President Tao, it's time to review the appearance of the guests."

   "I see, thanks."

  Tao Zhiming's gentle and easy smile made the little girl blush a little, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

   He stood up, looked at himself in the mirror, and followed her to the exit passage.

  7:15, whether it is on the Taoran in Tokyo Bay, in a bar where some guests gather early, or in the living room of each family, the red and white songs of the first year of Heisei will be broadcast on time.

  Because of the end of the Showa era this year, there was an opinion that the red and white song festival was stopped. On the other hand, since the retirement of the previous generation of gold medalists, the bubble economy has brought more and more entertainment in the past five years. The audience rating of the Red and White Song Club has dropped from the 78.1% that was comparable to the golden age of the 1960s five years ago. .

   Therefore, this year's red and white songs will be reformed.

As soon as the general host appeared, he said energetically: "The very restless first year of Heisei is about to end, and next year will be the beginning of the last 10 years of this century! Tonight, I choose to start the new year with the Red and White Song Club. Everyone, please look forward to the new changes in the program. Before the official performance, it is a performance song full of vitality. This song will not participate in the subsequent duel! Yes, it is the song performed by the famous composer Momonosuke, The Red and White Song Party version of "WanderParty"!"

   Audiences in various places did not expect that this year's red and white songs would have a performance before the red and white singers appeared. Moreover, the song performed is not a new song this year, but a song that has been born for more than three years.

Although    is an old song, it is the most manic ballroom hit. Anyone who has heard it remembers that the lyrics of this song are violent. There will be a special version of the red and white songs, will it be any different?

   As for what Momonosuke is, isn't that the young man who has attracted the most attention in Neon, Tao Dalang?

   Let him appear first, as a judge, it is better to perform a song that will not participate in the red and white duel, which is of course reasonable. But is it really meaningless?

   "Oh~oh~oh~" With the powerful roar, Otomi Go is on the left, Takuya Kimura is on the right, and Tao Zhiming sang together in the camera lens.

  WanderDance's regular customers looked at him, and in a trance, they remembered the hot-blooded second figure who was wearing a holy robe and was funny in the marriage proposal battle, and thought that he was particularly suitable for this song.

   At this moment, there are countless businessmen and even political leaders who are usually serious and serious, frowning at the TV.

   The focus of their eyes is not Tao Dalang himself, who is in a state of performance, but the lyrics of this special edition "WanderParty"; their ears also confirmed this.

   In the "Song to Wing Zhi" link in the previous Jinquan scandal, countless people have interpreted the meaning of the lyrics he sang.

   Now, he has been kidnapped by the Ministry of Tibet with morality, bound by the identity of the special director, and supervised by the listing of Onodera Fortune. If he wants to express his views on the current stock market, he may have to do so through this.

  If the cabinet, especially Tibet, is concerned about a recession caused by the falling stock market, it cannot take direct intervention measures. Taking into account the common people's public opinion on financial overheating and high real estate prices, if you want to do something to keep everyone's confidence in the stock market and the economy, maybe you have to use this to hint.

   Hashimoto Taro, who was temporarily out of work, was a little stunned watching TV in the room.

  He got a lot of hints from Tao Zhiming and knew a lot.

   He also wanted to know what Tao Zhiming wanted to do and what he would do in this situation.

   He never imagined that Tao Zhiming's approach was so ingenious:

  【Oh~oh~oh~The party night of the first year of Heisei; oh~oh~oh~ let go of everything and show yourself. 】

  【Oh~oh~oh~enjoy the splendid era; oh~oh~oh~You want to pretend to be calm? 】

  【It's like this every day and every night every year, wow! 】

The lyrics are violent, but "Let go of everything and show yourself" sounds like "Meiji", "Taisho", "Showa"; and "You have to pretend to be calm", calm sounds like Heisei, meaning listen It looks like "will be replaced by Heisei".

   plus the latter sentence, every day and every night every year... Does it mean as prosperous as before, or as miserable as Friday?

  【This prosperous economic scene exudes sweetness, and all kinds of strange guys are attracted like ants. 】

  【The neon at this moment is already the hegemon of the world, and money can buy peace. 】

  Hashimoto Taro's brows jumped when he heard this. What does this imply? Will Neon definitely surpass the US economically to become the world's No. 1, or will Neon sacrifice itself and use money to buy peace from the real hegemon?

  【This night of anticipation is so happy, be careful to touch this devil fruit. 】

  【Dreams piled up by bubbles, this era will cease to exist once it is broken. 】

   Sounds like it's really a bubble now, run away silly kids.

  【So let’s continue our party, because as long as you don’t be afraid of difficulties, you can tame the devil】

  【The way you dance beautifully will not leave regrets in the future. 】

   This is because this kind of economic stimulus policy has to be continued, and brave neon can't be afraid of difficulties?

  【Where is the future road? My answer is in my heart. 】

  【Because I am like a dragon flying in the night sky, choosing the future in the eyes of the world, wow! 】

   The last sentence is wow, and it seems to say "wow, Showa".

   Hashimoto Taro is numb.

At this moment, the people on the first floor are enjoying the performance of the handsome guy, the people on the second floor are trying to figure out what Tao Zhiming wants to express, and Nobuhiko Horikawa and others on the third floor are interested in watching Tao Zhiming give his speech in this way. The leeks were digging a hole, and Taro Hashimoto on the fourth floor could only think of one sentence: Both bullish and bearish people can find reasons to prove their inclinations from the lyrics he sings!

   And Masahiro Ueda on the fifth floor only felt that the past was unbearable: the riddleman was played by him.

   As Tao Zhiming finished his performance on the stage, the director of the Red and White Song Club said excitedly, "The monitoring of the ratings has yielded a rough result, it's over 80%!"

  The director was stunned.

   No wonder the president of the association suddenly asked him to participate at the last minute.

Because the stock market plummeted on Friday, because of the attention accumulated in the past two months and the identity of the "God of Finance who walks the world", because he participated in the red and white song for the first time and still performed, the ratings brought by him alone are so terrifying ?

   Last year, it was only over 50%!

   Up to the old guy, down to the young man, are all paying attention to him?
