Chapter 341: Grandfather Clock

Kitahara Shuji looked up and found that it was a small four-story building, and when he looked at it, he couldn't recognize it as a bank - Kuppongi Investment Bank, except that the steps were high enough and there were stone lions lying on both sides of the door.

It's still early, and it's obviously not time to go to work, but Kagura Osamu led Kitahara Shuji to climb the stairs and push the door directly, and there were actually people in the bank, and there were quite a few people.

Kagura explained with a smile to Kitahara Shuji, "When I wake up in the morning, I go to the cemetery to have a look, and then I come here directly, and sometimes these people have something to ask, so they will wait here." ”

Kitahara Shuji suddenly realized, it turns out that it is really a daily behavior for you to sneak here alone early in the morning, no wonder you can't see the security personnel, I'm afraid that there are people on duty along the way, right?

He immediately began to hesitate whether it was time to leave, but Kagura Jizuna turned to the group and said, "Now that I have important guests, I'll talk about it later." ”

Those people were surprised, and their eyes fell on Kitahara Shuji, but no one objected - it's not an urgent matter, if it's urgent, you can contact Kagura Jizuna's secretary directly, and now most of the future expectations are in hand, and I came here to communicate in advance, so that Kagura Jizuna nods, so as not to stop halfway through the work in vain.

Kitahara Shuji was also a little surprised, he didn't feel how important he was.

He is now cheeky and dares to boast that he does have potential, but potential is not strength after all, and his current strength is estimated to be less than one percent of Kagura's rule, what is there to pay attention to?

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Kagura, if you have something to do, just go and get busy, you're welcome. ”

Kagura Jitsuna smiled at him and said meaningfully, "This is not polite, Kitahara-kun, you are indeed important. ”

Kitahara Shuji was stunned, but Kagura didn't explain any more, and led him to a corner of the hall, where there was a floor-standing clock with a simple appearance and excellent maintenance.

The people around were about to disperse, but when they saw Kagura Otsuna leading Kitahara Shuji to the floor clock, most of them slowed down, and they couldn't hide their surprise, and a few of them suddenly became serious, as if they thought of something, and began to carefully look at Kitahara Shuji's back, as if they were ready to engrave him in their hearts.

Kitahara Shuji stared at the grandfather clock in a daze, not quite understanding what Kaguraji meant by him coming to see this thing, and after a while, a label appeared in his eyes: [Ordinary mechanical grandfather clock].

This thing is not unusual at all, and the price of ordinary shopping malls is about 100,000 yen, which is unlikely to be in the eyes of people like Kagura Jitsuna - this kind of thing is an ornament, and the effect of beautifying the environment is greater than looking at time.

Feng Shui clock, perhaps?

Kitahara Shuji wasn't sure, and Kagura Jitsuna stroked the wooden shell of the grandfather clock, and asked with a smile, "I made this clock, how does it feel?"

Huh? You still have this hobby? Kitahara Shuji was even more surprised, and looked at the bell carefully, it was still very ordinary, but replied with a smile: "It looks pretty good." ”

Kagura smiled, "I was an apprentice watchmaker for five years, and then I opened my first factory, which was very small, with only seven employees, but it closed down in eight months...... This was the first grandfather clock produced at that time, and look, this number is here, and I fantasized that when 100,000 units were produced, there would be a good celebration of the clock, and then the clock would be on display, and it turned out that it was the only souvenir left after the factory closed. ”

It turned out to be a souvenir, Kitahara Shuji smiled and asked, "Did something special happen at that time?"

"Are you asking why it went out of business?" Kagura Jitsuna glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's a common thing, I have ambitions, but it's just ambitions, I just do it without thinking about it, I didn't anticipate any difficulties, and I didn't leave myself a way out, and it was natural to fail in the end." ”

Kitahara Shuji nodded, he remembered, yesterday Yoko mentioned that it seemed that Kagura Zhizuna was not in a good position, and he knelt down on the first attempt to run a business, and wrote a banner to hang in the ashram for daily reflection, and put this clock in the first bank he owned, thinking that it was similar in nature, reminding himself not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Kagura Jizuna stroked the floor clock a few more times, and walked to the stairs with Kitahara Shuji, as if intending to let Kitahara Shuji visit the place where he had struggled, and said with a smile: "Let's continue the topic just now...... Kitahara-kun, you also have an understanding of that period of history, what would you have done at that time if you had changed?"

Kitahara Shuji didn't dare to answer for a while, this question is not asking how to make money, as long as you know the timing, even pigs can make money. Not to mention, the stock market crash caused at that time was in the past, and it fell by 40% on the same day, which with reasonable leverage, it was an instant profiteering, and other situations are similar, there are many places that can be used, such as exchange rates, futures markets, and bond markets.

How to use it is not difficult, but the difficulty is how to know in advance......

He pondered for a long time before slowly replying:

"I don't know much about the economic situation right now, but I recently heard a quote from OUCC that I think makes a lot of sense - market price performance is the result of a common understanding. ”

"Just like the tulip ball trade a long time ago, a tulip ball can be worth dozens of houses, that is, the public is less aware of the cost of tulip balls, and the optimistic expectation of demand for tulip balls is increasing, and finally the price that now seems extremely outrageous. ”

"The real estate bubble that formed in '91 was probably similar to this. At first, not everyone believed that there was money to be made by buying a house, but it soon turned out that there was money to be made by buying a house, and then it was concluded that there is a reason for high housing prices, as long as this becomes the result of mainstream cognition, then the rise in housing prices is inevitable, and the heavier this perception, the faster the rise, but in the circumstances at that time, how to judge where is the apex and when it will collapse, this is ...... It takes a lot of information to judge. ”

He couldn't figure it out, so Kagura Jitsuna picked up the conversation and said with a smile: "It's good to have this understanding, you did learn a lot in OUCC." ”

Kitahara Shuji immediately humbly asked, "How did Mr. Kagura make his judgment at that time?" You don't need to ask to know that Kagura Jizuna must have gotten a lot of benefits from that catastrophe, but people may not be willing to teach him this kind of thing - if you don't do it, it's just a layer of window paper, but if it can't be broken, you won't understand it for the rest of your life, and it's worth a thousand gold.

And Kagura Jizuna had no intention of hiding himself, and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, I failed once, which taught me a profound lesson, and I spent half a year in decadence, reflecting day and night, and finally found out where the problem was...... I lacked access to information, which prevented me from seeing through the fog of the future. ”

"Then how did you improve the situation?" Kitahara Shuji didn't expect to go back to the watch factory failure, but he was patient and continued to ask.

Kagura Jizuna smiled calmly: "I found a good wife!"

Kitahara Shuji stopped his steps, and looked at Kagura Jizuna a little speechlessly, and Kagura Jitsuna smiled: "Don't believe in the myth of the grassroots class starting from scratch, it's too difficult and too difficult, good education, experience and experience, accumulated contacts, and access to precious information, these are all important links that the grassroots class is completely lacking...... For example, the current richest man in Japan, the Yanai family, has been making clothes since his grandfather's generation, and then it was only in his generation that he had YouY Ku, completing the class leap, and I just followed a similar path to him. ”

"The wife you are talking about is Yoko's ......"

"That's right, it's Yoko's grandmother. Kagura Jizuna smiled: "She is the person who has helped me the most in this life, and I am the only woman in my life." ”

This...... Kitahara Shuji came to Japan to study and saw two powerful people, and they also gave him advice, one is Naokaka Fukuzawa, who was born in a reckless background and turned a scribe and cook and drunkard, and the other is the super rich Kagura Jizuna of this white starter, and these two are dedicated people, but he now has two girlfriends, as long as there is no big change, there will be two wives in the future......

It is impossible for him to have anything to do with his passion, and in the face of a person who is passionate, his psychology naturally falls into a downward trend, and he suddenly can't help but feel extremely weak and blush.

Kagura Jizuna didn't notice his abnormality, and said with a smile: "She is from Tokyo, and she has many relatives in her family, most of whom are factory owners, and the other half are bureaucrats. Through her, I began to expand my network, started a factory again, started as a small processing factory, and successfully caught the train of economic revitalization, and by about 85 years, I had a small net worth and even a few good plots of land in Tokyo. ”

"And then?"

"Then I was faced with a choice, whether to continue in manufacturing or to devote myself fully to the real estate industry...... At that time, the profits of manufacturing industry could not be compared to that of the real estate industry, but when I was about to devote myself to the real estate industry, I suddenly remembered the reason for my first failure...... I asked myself, am I informed enough, have I considered the risk of failure, have I had a way out?"

"Then ......"

"Later, I was patient, and I didn't rush to make money like the first failure, but collected information through various channels, and it happened that there was a nationwide currency shortage in Japan at the beginning of 86, and I noticed the news that a large number of factories were not working well, and I paid more attention to it, and I re-conducted a second investigation, spent a lot of money, and thought about it for a long time before I made up my mind and began to leave the real estate industry. ”

Kitahara Shuji understood, and said with a smile: "Then you avoided that catastrophe and took advantage of it by the way. ”

Kagura Jizuna smiled: "That's right, that's pretty much it, I'm lucky." ”

Kitahara Shuji smiled and nodded, but he didn't believe it at allβ€”true faith is just luck is a fool! Fate is always an excuse for losers, and good luck is always a humble word for the strong and wise!

Kagura Osatsuna said it lightly, but he also knew with his ass that he didn't know how entangled he was in his heart at that time, he didn't know how many times he hid and tortured his heart, he didn't know how many times he watched the collected information boil dry lamp oil to make judgments, and I don't know how he made that kind of determination - there is a manufacturing industry with increasingly thin profits, and here is a house land that is rising every day, what kind of determination will it take to slowly withdraw from projects that can make a lot of money, regather funds, and maintain the factory while waiting for a fatal blow.

Thinking about that mental torment and pressure, Kitahara Shuji could even see Kagura Jizuna himself sitting in the ashram, with a pair of intimidating eagle eyes when he decided to lay out the layout in advance.

Courage is courage to dare to go against everyone's ideas, and the facts prove his wisdom - he does see through the fog of the future, which is very powerful.

Kagura Osamu continued to walk around Kitahara and continued, "After the economy collapsed, I set up this bank to absorb the funds. ”

"What is it?"

"Buying bankrupt factories, losing their sources of funding, and buying a lot of land, real estate and stocks at a low price, during the most chaotic time, everyone went crazy, just to reduce losses, and sold anything as long as you were willing to pay. Everything you bought at that time has increased in value dozens of times now, after all, Tokyo is still the world's largest metropolis. Kagura Jitsuna led Kitahara Shuji to the president's office and showed him a map - this small investment bank has a large amount of assets buried in it, equivalent to Kagura's reserves, and the land and factories that belong to Kagura on the map are densely packed, and even the entire street in the prime area belongs to Kagura.

This is a huge fortune, Kagura Osatsuna completed the primitive accumulation through manufacturing in the first half of his life, took advantage of the economic collapse to make a lot of money, and then took advantage of the chaos at the time to start snowballing, and after more than ten years of rolling it is a little unstoppable.

Sure enough, it's a good legendary life...... It's just that why do you want to let yourself know his family history and assets so much? Although it is certainly not all assets, but two meetings have revealed part of the family background, which is too trusting, right?

But he didn't ask, just listened and watched carefully, and Kagura Jitsuna gave him a brief explanation for a while, and then led him down, and said with a smile: "People say that I am a banker, but the purpose of my establishment of the bank is only to closely link factories and trading companies involved in multiple industries and facilitate the exchange of funds between each other. ”

After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself a little, "I didn't expect that the investment bank could develop to this scale, and finally became the owner of Diyin." It can only be said that it is a gift of the times. ”

Kitahara Shuji nodded clearly, this is actually the prototype of a huge consortium, the integration of manufacturing and sales, and the bank as the core to coordinate, I didn't expect Kagura to be in his seventies, and his ambitions have not been fully satisfied.

A watch apprentice from the countryside to Tokyo, who has established a business empire in Tokyo, is the next step to start reaching out to the whole of Japan, right? Kagura Jizuna's assets have only been qualitatively leaping forward for more than a decade, and this is just after digesting?

Kagura Jitsuna looked at Kitahara Shuji there and nodded, and asked with a smile, "Do you know what I'm going to do next?"

"You know, it's amazing. "Kitahara Shuji told the truth, Japan's large consortia are all hundreds of years of accumulation, and the history can be traced back to the shogunate period, and Kagura Jizuna is ready to build one by himself with the power of one person, which is really powerful.

Kagura Osatsuna nodded with satisfaction: "I also think it's amazing, I haven't lived in vain in my life, but I don't have much time......"

Kitahara Shuji looked at him in surprise, and he immediately smiled: "Don't get me wrong, Kitahara-kun, I won't die for a while, it's just that my energy is getting less and less." ”

Kitahara Shuji felt that it was similar, even if he was rich, his body would age, which no one could avoid, but he still comforted him falsely: "No, you are still in good spirits!"

Kagura didn't care about his words, and said helplessly: "Business is actually very simple, it is to see through the fog of the future, just like playing chess, whoever sees farther will win, if you want to win everyone, you have to see farther than everyone, but I am faced with more and more information, and I have less and less energy to think...... I heard that you played chess with Yoko for quite a long time last night, what do you think of her play?"

Kitahara Shuji didn't expect him to change the topic halfway through lamentation, and after a long silence, he smiled: "She's still young." "Yoko is a stinky chess player, but few little girls like to play chess, and they can understand it.

Kagura Jitsuna laughed: "I asked her to teach her to play chess, but she is not interested, and I am afraid that she will not be interested in business in the future, are you interested in this aspect?"

Kitahara replied honestly, "Yes, I'll try it in a few years." "No matter what direction he goes in the future, he can't do without money, and he is ready to start working when he goes to university!

"That's good!" Kagura immediately agreed: "Let's not mention the small fights, if you have the ambition to become big, then how do you think you should see through the fog of the future?"

"Getting as much information as possible, analyzing it carefully, and thinking repeatedly is the ...... in terms of information acquisition," Kitahara Shuji thinks so, most people have similar intelligence, and it is never difficult to judge, but the difficulty is how to get comprehensive information.

"Looks like you get it, that's good. The grassroots want to start from scratch but always can't do much, most of them are stuck in the information channel, and it is difficult to clearly judge the situation, do you have any thoughts on this?" Kagura Jitsuna returned to the front of the grandfather clock, opened the dial, and took out a big key from his pocket, "This is also the reason why many current rich people are second and third generations, the previous generation accumulates, and the next generation uses it." ”

Kitahara Shuji thought for a while and said, "I can only say now that I will pay attention to this aspect in the future, and I haven't thought about how to do it yet." ”

He has not accumulated at all, the original owner's parents can't count on it, and the two wives he will marry in the future will not provide much help in this regard, and everything has an internal law, and there is enough information to be able to summarize this law, at least he can judge the general trend, and with psychological preparation, he can take advantage of the opportunity to conform to the general trend, so as to take one step ahead, step by step.

Kagura Jitsuna smiled and didn't say anything more, but inserted the big key into the dial and began to wind the grandfather clock. The grandfather clock seemed to need to be wound three times, and the string mouth was at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and he laboriously finished twisting the first one, and then went to the second, but he seemed a little tired halfway through.

Kitahara Shuji felt very ceremonial, and didn't dare to say that he would help twist it, suspecting that this bell could only be wound by Kagura Jizuna, but Kagura Jizuna slowly stopped, handed the big key to him, and asked meaningfully: "Kitahara-kun, I don't have much strength anymore, do you want to help me wind this bell in the future?"

Kitahara Shuji was surprised, and didn't dare to pick up the big key for a while, but just asked, "Is this appropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, you're characterful, talented, smart enough, young, and most importantly...... Yoko chose you. Kagura Jitsuna's hand was very steady, so he put the big key in the palm of his hand and waited for Kitahara Shuji to take it, "Of course you can go through my path again if you want to, but it may not have the good luck of mine, so it's better to go down the road for me." I have a well-established network and enough access to information, you can save a lot of time and build on my foundation for the future...... How does it feel?"

Kitahara Shuji looked at the key, and then at Kagura Jizuna, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was...... This sounds like he's going to make himself the second generation of Kagura, turning Kaguraku into a large consortium for him, and this key represents ...... Represents the qualification to control hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds?

This kind of qualification, as long as you stretch out your hand?
