Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 888 Chapter 897, You don’t know anything, why are you an investment manager?!

Naoki Nagayama has been to New York several times.

When he came this time, he specially called the apartment management company in advance and asked them to clean up the house he bought in New York so that he could settle down.

".It turns out that the house can't be left empty for long!"

Naoki Nagayama inspected the apartment he bought a few years ago. Even though he had already sent someone to clean it, he still had a special feeling: it lacked popularity.
It is said that if a house is left empty for a long time, some strange things will grow.
With this in mind, Naoki Nagayama checked it out before sitting on the sofa. The retro furniture was very beautiful, and there was Central Park outside the window.
At least in terms of location, it is very advantageous.
"Dingling bell~"

Just when Naoki Nagayama was resting, the phone in the apartment rang.
Someone in New York is calling?! Naoki Nagayama picked up the phone in surprise:
"Hello?"

"Naoki-san?" Nakai Yuta's voice came from the microphone. "We've arrived in New York! Did the journey go smoothly?"

"Ah, Yuan Tai-san, I thought it was someone else~" Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah, he just got off the plane not long after arriving and came here directly~"

"That's good. How's the apartment?"

This apartment was purchased with the help of Nakai Yuta, but he hasn't been here for several years.

"It's well preserved, but I think we need to find someone to clean it every week, otherwise it will lack popularity," said Naoki Nagayama.

"Haha, whatever you want~"

Nakai Yuanta continued to ask about the previous situation in Philadelphia before talking about the main topic of today.

"Naoki-san, it's 9 o'clock in the morning in New York and almost 10 o'clock in the evening in Tokyo," said Nakai Yuta. "Do you need to meet with investment managers today? I can ask them to come over now."

"Okay, let them come to the office in the afternoon~"

"Okay." Nakai Yuta said, "I'll send the schedule to the office fax machine."

"Hmm~"

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama sighed. It was really tiring to prepare to go to work as soon as he got off the plane. The main reason for his coming to New York was for this matter, and he wanted to get it done early and complete it early.

"At this time, Akina should still be on the plane?"

After separating from Philadelphia, Akina Nakamori boarded a plane back to Tokyo, where she was going to start preparing for her national tour, while Nagayama Naoki went directly to New York.

After tidying himself up simply, Naoki Nagayama came to a business building full of energy, which exuded the word "rich".

As an investment institution with global ambitions, Shuyou Investment naturally rented an office in New York and hired a local employee as a liaison.

After reaching the sixth floor, Naoki Nagayama saw a very clear sign - Shuyou Investment's New York Office.

The so-called office, which also has a front desk, conference room and an office dedicated to the boss, is comparable to a small company. After all, when there are some investments, Nakai Genta or other people in Tokyo will come to New York.

Meeting clients, signing agreements, etc.
The arrival of Naoki Nagayama made the middle-aged white lady at the front desk look up. Yes, the liaison officer was a fat white lady. If it were a girl or a man, he would definitely not want such a lonely position, nor would he have the patience to sit in the office.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" After seeing Naoki Nagayama's appearance, she immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, welcome to the New York office."

"Ha, how did you recognize me?" Naoyama Naoki looked at her curiously, "What's your name?"

"My name is Susan. The Tokyo headquarters has faxed a photo of Mr. Nagayama." Susan used the key to open the boss's office and walked in with Naoki Nagayama.

A simple office with a large solid wood desk and a boss chair, as well as two chairs for guests. Behind it is a bookcase for storing documents, and green plants are placed in the corner. The only thing worth praising is the window next to it, from which you can directly see the street view.

"What a nice view~" Naoki Nagayama exclaimed as he stood in front of the window.

"This office is not often occupied, but it was cleaned yesterday."

"Mr. Yongshan, what would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Water?"

"Yeah, coffee, thanks~"

Naoki Nagayama said something casually, then sat down in the boss's chair. Next to his desk was a stack of information prepared in advance, which contained the investor's specific information, including their reputation in the industry and so on.

Although I have seen it once before in Tokyo, I still need to see it this time to deepen my impression.

"Mr. Yongshan, here is your coffee." Susan brought over a cup of coffee and handed over a schedule. "This is the list that was just faxed over, as well as the meeting time."

"I understand." Naoki Nagayama nodded to Susan, "When they come over, let them wait in the conference room first."

"Okay~"

The office door was closed and Naoki Nagayama began to look at the documents.

Aunt Susan returned to her front desk. It was the first time she met the boss of her company. She didn't expect him to be so young.

Aunt Susan, the liaison, does not have the personality of the employees in American TV dramas who simply ignore the boss or make a fuss, etc. She is just an ordinary employee and a mother of two children.

She still values ​​this leisurely but high-paying job very much. After all, when she has nothing to do, her time is flexible and she can take care of the family.

"He seems to be very rich. Is this Naoki Nagayama the heir of some financial group?"

Such thoughts flashed through her mind, but Susan still started to work seriously, determining the time according to the list, maintaining order when people arrived, etc.

By the afternoon, "financial elites" in suits and ties came to Shuyou Capital's New York office. The huge amount of $100 million was enough to excite all investment managers below the top investment banks.

The investment circle is so small that almost all the investment managers gathered in the conference room know each other. However, they are all wolves and they are not polite when competing for the funds.

"I heard that this rich man in Japan today is very young!"

"Didn't you do your homework? Naoki Nagayama is a famous director in Japan, he won the Palme d'Or, and he's also a writer~"

"Of course I know, but I can't tell the difference between Asians."

The younger investment managers were chatting in a very frivolous manner. Having been in Wall Street for a long time, they were all very wealthy. Money came too easily to them, and they took their arrogance for granted towards others.

In their eyes, the person sitting in the office is not a human being, but a lamb to be slaughtered.

The more stable investment managers were quietly thinking about how to convince the financiers in the office to entrust them with $100 million for management.

"Susan~" The phone at the front desk rang, "Let the first person in~"

"Okay~" After hearing this, Susan got up and went to the meeting room, "Alan, you are the first one!"

As he spoke, a very young investment manager stood up, straightened his suit, and then showed a perfect smile with eight teeth:
"Everyone, this time the funds are mine! Please wait a moment!"

This confident guy knocked on the office door until he heard "Come in" and then opened the door.

Seeing a young man sitting inside, Allen suddenly felt that this big order was almost certain to win. How could he handle the psychology of a young man with his well-honed rhetoric? !

"Hello, I'm Alan from Ross Capital!"

"Hello, I'm Naoki Nagayama." Naoki Nagayama acted like a capitalist. He didn't stand up, but just pointed to the seat in front of the desk and said, "Please sit down~"

"Thank you!" After sitting down, Allen showed the confidence of an American investment manager, "Mr. Yongshan, our Ross Capital has a history of more than ten years and manages more than one billion US dollars in funds. All our clients are full of recognition for us."

"I never let my clients judge me by my successes, I let them judge me by my mistakes! Because they don't exist!"

"If you let me manage your funds, it will definitely be the right decision!"

"."

Allen's words were full of confidence, as if not giving him the funds this time would be a wrong decision, as if he had already decided to take over Naoki Nagayama.

Looking at the investment manager who was chattering in front of him, Naoki Nagayama had a scene from the famous movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" in his mind.
The stock managers there are actually no different from the investment managers of these investment banks.
They also use various promising words to make customers full of expectations and invest their money in the capital market. However, they themselves earn real commissions.
Alan, who was sitting opposite, said a lot and felt his mouth was a little dry, but when he looked at the handsome young man opposite him, he seemed to be distracted at this time? !

"Ahem, Mr. Nagayama?"

"Huh? Ah!"

Naoki Nagayama finally came back to his senses. He didn't expect that his brain would suddenly recall a certain movie. Fortunately, after the upgrade, the meeting did not affect current events.

Alan's face turned a little dark. Someone was actually distracted while he was talking?

So he asked directly:
"Mr. Yongshan, are you willing to let me manage the funds?!"

“Oh, funds.”

Naoki Nagayama calmed himself down and said, "Alan, what is your opinion on the recent international currency market?"

"International currency market? Foreign exchange?"

Alan was stunned for a moment. Although his main field was light industry, he also knew about international currency.

“The U.S. dollar is currently on an upward trend
Due to the increase in base interest rates, a large amount of funds have flowed into the United States, and the US dollar exchange rate has risen by more than 60% in the past five years.
In the short term, the U.S. dollar will maintain this strong position.”

"Well"

Although the analysis of the guy on the other side is very reasonable, it is all based on the judgment of the trend of the international financial market and is not for what may happen.
“Did you know that the U.S. Treasury Secretary is visiting other countries?”

"Of course I know that!"

Just as Allen was about to continue showing off his erudition, he was interrupted by Naoki Nagayama.

"Do you know what kind of deal they're going to make?"

"This"

"Have you heard any rumors? Any gossip?"

“I heard it’s a package of plans to stimulate economic development.”

"."

It seemed that the guy in front of him didn't know that Naoki Nagayama sighed and had no interest in continuing the conversation.

"Alan, thank you for your visit. That's all for today!"

"???!!!"

"Mr. Yongshan!!! We at Ross Capital can definitely make your funds grow by 10% every year!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

'It's not enough'

"But." Allen was unwilling to be turned away like this, and suppressed his anger and asked, "Mr. Yongshan, can I ask the reason?"

"Because.you know nothing!"

You don’t know anything, why would you be an investment manager? You might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!
"."

"Susan, call the next person in!" Naoki Nagayama pressed the phone, gave instructions to the front desk, and then looked at the investment manager in front of him, "Good day, Mr. Allen~"

"you"

Allen felt that he had encountered the greatest humiliation in his career. He was rejected directly by a Japanese man!!! And he didn't give any reason!!!
"You will regret this!"

Feeling humiliated, he stood up angrily, then quickly opened the office door and rushed out without looking back.
"Why are you acting like a little kid?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at this scene in surprise. Was he defeated by this little bit of pressure? !

Aren't investment managers in American TV dramas supposed to roll their eyes, come up with some brilliant ideas, and then persevere in convincing their clients? !

At this moment, the next investment manager in a suit and tie walked in, showing a perfect smile with eight teeth:
“Hi, I’m Alex from Mason Capital.”

Susan watched as Wall Street elites walked into the office one by one. Some walked out with angry faces, while others walked out with confused faces.
But there is one thing in common - no one lasts more than three minutes.

“It’s faster than going to the toilet”

The white lady complained in her heart. She had never seen the Wall Street elites act so aggrieved.

"Susan, next!"

The phone on the table rang with her boss's voice again. Susan stood up for the Nth time and walked towards the meeting room.

"Aldridge, it's your turn!"

Hearing this voice, a middle-aged man with gray hair and meticulous manner came out and walked into the office like his predecessors.
"Please take a seat, I'm Naoki Nagayama!"

"Hello, I'm Aldridge," Aldridge said very simply.

"." Naoki Nagayama didn't wait for the next words, and was a little surprised, "Nothing else?"

"Yes." Aldridge looked at the young man in front of him sharply, "As for the rest, we should wait until Mr. Yongshan's test is finished."

"Oh?"

Naoki Nagayama became curious.
"Interesting. Now let me ask you a question: What do you think about the future trend of the international currency market?"

"."

Aldridge paused and subconsciously looked at the young man opposite him. He didn't expect him to ask this question. He knew some unconfirmed news because he had a relative who worked in the think tank of the US government.
“The dollar will go down. And fast.”

"Why?" Triggering the key words, Naoki Nagayama sat up straight.

"Because it's too high now, the U.S.'s external industrial competitiveness has declined." Aldridge glanced at Naoki Nagayama, "Even Japan can't compete. The trade surplus is too large."

Naoki Nagayama smiled:

"This is a long-term trend, and I ask, why is there a 'rapid depreciation'?"

Fast is the key word!
Aldridge hesitated for a moment, thinking again whether to tell the young man in front of him the secret information he got from his relatives, but looking at Naoki Nagayama's expression, it seemed that he already knew it?!
Take a gamble!
"Because the governments are negotiating an agreement. It is expected to be released soon!"

"Haha, you know that too!"

Naoki Nagayama's eyes lit up. Sure enough, someone knew this kind of news!!!

Those guys who have inside information are the ones who can get the biggest piece of the pie in the capital market!
"Then do you know when it will be released?" asked Naoki Nagayama.

"This is top secret information, only the finance ministers of each country know it!" Aldridge said subconsciously.

“The end of September!”

Naoki Nagayama said a time.

"!!!"

Aldridge was shocked! This was not news that ordinary people could know, and he was so sure about it!
He looked at Naoki Nagayama's young face and seemed to see a figure hidden behind him, one of the nobles and aristocratic families in Japan that had lasted for hundreds of years.
Naoki Nagayama continued:

"Then Mr. Aldridge, I'll leave my funds to you."

Naoki Nagayama decided on his investment manager in this way, and he didn't seem to worry about losing money at all. After all, knowing this news was like holding a golden key.

Aldrich needs to gather more funds and build a large capital pool in order to bite off a piece of meat from the mouths of many top international investment banks, sovereign funds, and financial giants.

What happened next was naturally handled by Nakai Yuanta, including legal affairs, supervision, and the final cashing out.
