Rebirth: My 80s

For Tsuruta Nakamura, his world right now is noisy, dreamlike and exciting.

There are always reporters squatting downstairs of the company building and outside his residence, hoping to capture one or two shots of him. It would be even better if they could interview him about something.

He was probably a little bit carried away.

Even if it was a reporter from NHK (Japan's largest TV station), he dared to ignore it...

Now, in a luxurious box in a private club run by the Yamaguchi-gumi, he suppressed all his arrogance, hunched over, and looked in awe at the young man sitting on the leather sofa opposite him.

At this juncture, their meeting can only be held in a place like this, and the paparazzi dare not come here.

Otherwise, even if it was the branch of Hong Kong Overseas Trust Bank in Japan, it would be like a film set now. As long as he showed up, it might be easy to get in, but it would be difficult to get out.

Whether it is buying the old real estate powerhouse Seibu Real Estate.

It is better to let Yoshiaki Tsutsumi "cut his flesh" and bow his head.

These are all close to miracles.

He also became a real "miracle man".

However, Tsuruta Nakamura knew very well who gave him all this fame, and he was just enjoying the glory.

The man in front of him, who defeated Yoshiaki Tsutsumi with overwhelming force, has become the person who actually owns the most land in Japan.

He is only in his twenties...

Whenever he thought of this, Tsuruta Nakamura just felt... like he was nothing.

The more unbelievable it was, the less likely Tsuruta Nakamura would feel any desire to disobey.

Besides, there is no shame in submitting to such a person.

Tsuruta Nakamura bent his back even lower: "Do you have any plans or instructions?"

Arisui House Co., Ltd. has already acquired many plots of land in Kyoto, many of which are high-end plots of land.

Now it has acquired Seibu Real Estate, and judging from the shareholding ratio, privatization is almost complete.

With so much land in its pocket, the outside world is very curious about the purpose of Arisui House Co., Ltd. and what actions it will take next.

Frankly speaking, even Tsuruta Nakamura was itching to make a move and was ready to make a big splash.

Only the ambient light was on in the box. Li Jiankun sat back on the sofa, his head hidden in the darkness. In this atmosphere, he exuded a mysterious aura of a superior:

"Nothing to do."

Tsuruta Nakamura: "?"

Li Jiankun said slowly: "Nakamura, you never asked me why I took so much land, and I didn't explain. Now I tell you, I have no interest in developing real estate projects. I am just optimistic about the market price of Japanese land.

“There are some things you don’t know, and you don’t need to know. If everything goes well, soon, the price of Japanese land will skyrocket.

"do you understand?"

Land speculation!

Having worked in the real estate industry for half his life, how could Tsuruta Nakamura not understand?

But now his focus is not on this, but on the boss’s next words - the price of Japanese land will soon skyrocket!

If everything goes well?

Tsuruta Nakamura was shocked, he thought: Can you control the price of Japanese land?

How can this be? !

Li Jiankun did not explain much. To be fair, Nakamura was not very good at what he did. To put it bluntly, he was not that smart. But Nakamura had one biggest advantage -

Never ask what you shouldn’t ask.

He would try his best to complete the tasks assigned by Li Jiankun, even if he could not understand it at all.

Today's meeting was also facilitated by Nakamura's not-so-smart attitude and the fact that Li Jiankun had some things to explain.

Why is Nakamura deliberately avoiding media interviews now?

Because he didn't know what to say.

When faced with certain issues, he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

This requires Li Jiankun to inform him, or even write a script for him. For example, if the land acquired in Kyoto is left unused for a long time without being used for a project, the Kyoto Metropolitan Government will definitely not be happy, so some people have to be reassured.

Li Jiankun waved his hand, motioned him to sit next to him, and began to teach him carefully...

For Li Jiankun, taking over Seibu Real Estate has more than exceeded his goals in Nippon Real Estate.

Otherwise, if you rely on Arisui House Co., Ltd. to bid for land step by step, you will not come up empty-handed even if you attend land auctions every day.

In such a short period of time, the amount of land that can be acquired is definitely less than one percent of the current amount.

Of course, acquiring 94.7% of Seibu Real Estate's shares also consumed nearly half of Li Jiankun's cash flow.

As for the other half, it will naturally be invested in the financial market.

This has been his top priority in recent days.

The Plaza Accord currently being held secretly in New York will definitely last for several days, after all, it is such a big deal.

He doesn't have much time left to plan his financial market layout.

Taking advantage of this last bit of time, the Plaza Accord is such a good historical opportunity. If you don’t invest a penny in your pocket, you will lose money...

If he has enough time, he would also like to borrow some cash from the bank under his name.

……

……

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan were frozen in time as they faced the sumptuous midnight snack.

I was simply shocked by what Li Jiankun had just said.

They are now investing hundreds of billions of yen every day. Is this just playing house? They both thought so at the same time.

After a long while, Feng Xiaowan swallowed her saliva. It was definitely not because she was greedy for midnight snacks...

As the amount of money she invested increased day by day, her speculation about Brother Kun's wealth and status also increased day by day.

However, it is still an underestimate.

Vastly underestimated.

She thought, he is about the same age as me and was a college classmate of my hero, so how did he end up like this?

Are there two hundred and forty hours in his day?

Could it be that the gap between people is not so big?

They have always been regarded as geniuses...

There is no comparison. I feel so weak and powerless.

Wu Yingxiong came back to his senses, his eyes wide open, "In three days, 1 billion US dollars were invested, this, this, this..."

I never thought that one day, too much operating capital would become a problem.

Looking around the world, I'm afraid there are only a few financial traders who have encountered this kind of trouble.

As for how much money Brother Kun has and where his multinational bank is located... Wu Yingxiong is too lazy to figure it out, or rather, he is numb.

Li Jiankun patted his shoulder: "There is no time."

Li Jiankun wanted to open his heart to them, especially the little hero, but he couldn't...

Who made him hide such a secret that could scare people to death?

What can be said, or what can be said after adding "ingredients" and neutralization, Li Jiankun will not hide from him:

"While you two were busy in the 'little dark room' of the bank, I was actually not idle either—"

"Of course you're not idle," Wu Yingxiong interrupted him with a strange expression, "You are now the largest landlord in Japan!"

After completing the transaction with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Wu Yingxiong had no idea how many times he had talked about this with Xiaowan, either in the "small dark room" or by her pillow. No matter how many times they talked about it, they still couldn't help but feel terrified.

First, I was shocked that Brother Kun actually accomplished this.

It is incredible, yet exciting, that a Chinese person has become the largest landlord in Japan.

Second, they were also involved in this matter.

In other words, they helped a Chinese man become the largest landlord in Japan by using illegal means.

God knows, they have never even helped anyone fight...

Li Jiankun smiled and waved his hand: "That's not what I'm talking about."

Seeing the two of them prick up their ears, he slowly explained:

"I have discussed my prediction with you before. If my prediction is true, Washington wants to devalue the dollar, which will definitely require the cooperation of several major currency countries. As professionals, you also deduced this at the beginning."

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan both nodded subconsciously and continued to listen attentively.

Li Jiankun continued: "This is what I think:

"For such a big matter, and one that involves the economy, shouldn't we hold a meeting of the finance chiefs of several major currency countries?"

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan nodded again. It was an obvious truth.

I'm afraid one meeting is not enough.

"Japan will definitely be involved, there is no escape."

Li Jiankun spread his hands and said: "So I used some connections to make friends with a high-ranking official of the Japanese Ministry of Finance almost at the same time as you entered the 'small black room'.

"Tell him to keep an eye out for me and let me know if the Japanese Finance Minister has any special plans."

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan were dumbfounded.

This may sound simple, but he is the person in charge of a country's finances.

Monitor his every move?

What if it is someone with ulterior motives who wants to do something bad?

Normally, this is impossible.

Brother Kun's connections, means, and energy have exceeded the limits of what they could imagine.

At this point, Li Jiankun stopped smiling and said seriously, "Yesterday, the Japanese Finance Minister went to the United States."

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan were both shocked at first, thinking that they had really been caught by Brother Kun... But then Wu Yingxiong scratched his head again:

"The Japanese Finance Minister goes to the United States frequently, at least once or twice a year. This... doesn't really mean anything."

Although Feng Xiaowan didn't say anything, her expression showed that she agreed with Wu Yingxiong's point of view.

The visit of Japan's Finance Minister to the United States is not enough to prove that Kun's prediction has come true. Perhaps they were talking about other things.

Li Jiankun added: "We went there secretly. Did you notice any related reports on TV or in newspapers?"

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan didn't notice it, nor did they have time to notice it.

There was a brief silence at the table.

Wu Yingxiong thought about it and said, "You want to invest in Benzene Securities, I have no objection. From the current situation, as long as you choose the right stocks, you won't lose money. But you mentioned before that you want to go long on the Nikkei Index and short the US dollar at the same time... I hope you will think twice before doing this."

Feng Xiaowan couldn't help but squeak, "Yes, Brother Kun, although it's extraordinary that you can get this information, it still can't prove that the Japanese Finance Minister went to the United States to discuss what you predicted. What if... not, let's not talk about going long on the Nikkei Index. Given the stability of the US dollar as the world's number one currency, going short on it will almost certainly result in a loss."

Li Jiankun felt helpless and couldn't tell them more.

So, he laughed and said, "Your suggestion makes sense. Okay, I'll spend less money just for fun."

Why does he have to go long on the Nikkei Index and short on the US dollar?

First of all, it’s profitable.

In the stock market, there is almost no operation that can make money faster than going long or short on stock index futures. Of course, if the position is liquidated, the loss will be the fastest.

Secondly, it is easy to operate.

You know, he has invested nearly 3 billion US dollars in the Japanese benzene stock market.

In the next three days, we plan to invest another ten billion US dollars.

Firstly, the commotion was too big. Even though countless positions were built up under the operation of the little hero and his wife, this money was thrown in a very short period of time and had caused abnormal fluctuations in Japanese stocks.

What he wants is to make a fortune quietly.

Secondly, he had almost bought up all the relatively good Nippon Benzene stocks available on the market...

Otherwise, the little hero and his wife wouldn't have been so worried.

Wu Yingxiong asked: "How much less money is it?"

Li Jiankun glanced at him and said, "Five hundred million each?"

"How much?!" Wu Yingxiong's eyes widened.

Feng Xiaowan asked, "Brother Kun, you are not talking about US dollars, right?"

"Ah...right."

Feng Xiaowan: "???"

Wu Yingxiong: "???"

This is called less?!

The two looked at each other, and no one knew what they were communicating with their eyes. Only they themselves could understand. Then, all four eyes were fixed on Li Jiankun's face.

Wu Yingxiong said with a serious expression: "To be honest, Brother Kun, I don't agree with this."

Feng Xiaowan continued: "Yes, the risk is too great. If there is a loss, we have been investing in Japanese stocks for so long, and it will be difficult to make up for it even if the market improves in the future."

Li Jiankun didn't know what to say, so he just blurted out, "You don't believe me?"

Feng Xiaowan: "This..."

Wu Yingxiong: "Brother Kun, in my opinion, your prediction has a 90% chance of coming true, because no matter how you look at it, devaluing the dollar is indeed a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy, which can both ease the US fiscal deficit and disrupt Japan's economy.

“But it’s hard to say when this will happen.

"You can't assume that just because the Japanese finance minister went to the United States, he went there to negotiate this matter secretly, and then spend a billion dollars to go long the Nikkei index and short the dollar.

"This is too big a gamble! Although I know you can afford it."

Wu Yingxiong paused here and glanced out the window to the east. Behind his black-framed glasses, he could see the bright neon lights of the Ginza skyscrapers and the stars in the black sky:

“In our country, the average salary is only around 50 yuan.

"The country has tried every possible means to save some foreign exchange. The service personnel of relevant foreign-related units can almost be described as servile.

“But even with the concerted efforts of the whole country, our total foreign exchange reserves are only US$2.6 billion.

"One billion US dollars can bring great changes to our entire country.

"Brother Kun, this is not how you play."

Li Jiankun straightened his sitting posture, apologized, and then said seriously: "Okay, this is not a joke, there are some things I can't explain to you, and I can't give you reassurance, but please believe me.

“No matter how much money I have, I can’t take a billion dollars lightly.

"I am extremely confident that what I predicted is happening, and I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan looked at each other again.

What are you asking them to believe? Trust your intuition?

Let’s just say, this thing, and a billion dollars... isn’t it still too risky?

Feng Xiaowan suddenly asked: "Brother Kun, have you ever lost money in business?"

“Almost never.”

In fact, he has never done any business at a loss in this life. Li Jiankun added "almost" to include his previous life in it.

Feng Xiaowan said "oh" and picked up a string of squid and started to chew it without trying to persuade him anymore.

Wu Yingxiong looked at her: "???"

We should have made eye contact and resisted to the death, why did you change your mind...
