Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 422

The sudden outbreak of war across the Gulf has added new uncertainty to matters.This link was not mentioned in his plan.

The cabinet can tolerate the rhythmic squeeze out of the bubble, let them complete the filling, and then rely on them to revive the economy.

But now...it seems to be out of control.

How could it be that in just 8 months, almost half of the neon stock market has evaporated?Now, we have encountered the oil crisis brought about by the war on the other side of the Gulf.

Tao Zhiming continued to be a wooden man as always, as if he was used to it, and the Ministry of Finance called him to put him in shackles again and again.After participating in such a top-secret meeting, you can't talk nonsense outside.

He was not in a hurry either. At this point in time, no one could hold back the triple wild answer.

So sure enough, after this meeting, Neon Bank announced a 0.75% interest rate hike, second only to March.

In the tense market atmosphere that followed, the neon stock market, which was supposed to fall below 10 points in October, achieved this achievement more than half a month earlier.

So far, the neon stock market has been completely cut in half on the basis of the end of last year.

But it's not over yet.

Those who were still gritted their teeth and held it for a long time, really couldn't bear to be cut in half.It’s almost October, how could it be possible to go back this year, and even rise to more than 10 points as the president of Hanwa Kogyo said?

That's right, Hanwa Xingye's own stock price has also fallen since April, so that he can't say any more bullshit.

The stockholders of Neon have lost their smiles, and there are news of suicides from time to time.

And the silent majority rejoiced.The collapse of the neon stock market made the people at the bottom shout long live.Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. In the past four or five years, people with assets have seen their wealth multiply through the financial and real estate markets. Now this "good old days" is finally over.

However, the continued rise in real estate prices has made the Ministry of Finance and the cabinet more and more passive.Even though such strict restrictions on real estate financing have been introduced, people who can’t afford a house don’t buy it despite the fact that interest rates have been raised so much, directly ignoring that it takes time for the policy to have an effect.

Tsutsumi was completely dumbfounded.

The neon stock market fell below 2 points, and his Seibu Holdings fell a little better, but it is now close to a 40% drop.At this moment, financing through the stock market is impossible.

The pre-sale in early August was only busy for half a day.Half a day later, the panic brought about by the oil war and even bigger wars made many people unwilling to buy assets, and turned to buy gold and necessities for life.

Foolish people... some people even ran to the countryside.Some of the tourism real estate developed by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had a longer sales performance.But how can that little income compare with the investment cost of Osaki New City in the Tokyo metropolis?

Everything started to rise. Oil is one of the cornerstones of modern industry, and the effect of transmission is very obvious.

The power of land financing restrictions is emerging, all real estate projects that have already started are speeding up, and the cost of workers, raw materials... has risen again.

He didn't know if Osaki New City could be built according to the original plan, and now...funding has become a problem again.If the effect of the pre-sale is not good, then we must expand investment, use more people, more intensive publicity, and try our best to sell it.

However, the pre-sale payment is not enough, but the construction period cannot be stopped.It's harder to help sales at times like this when progress stalls.

"...Master President!" The subordinate came in with a surprise this time, "The president of the financial club came to visit and said... that he can provide funds!"

"What?" Tsutsumi's heart pounded, "Which family does it belong to?"

"More than one!" The subordinate said excitedly, "Probably because the interest rate has increased, and the stock market has no room for profit. Now, apart from the foreign exchange market, only projects like ours that have already started are most likely to bring returns."

"...What about the cost of financing?" Tsutsumi asked.

"It's higher than before, but it's a little lower than we expected!" The subordinate explained in a low voice, "They should also have a lot of pressure to make profits..."

Tsutsumi stood up and walked around the room.

But considering the situation he was facing, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Tell them to the reception room, I'll be right over!"

Even if the cost of financing is a little higher than in the past, in the current situation, we can only find ways to pull more funds into the water!In any case, we must rely on the strength of all parties, and we must complete the construction of the Osaki New City project and get the due payment.

In that case, all loopholes will be smoothed out!

Tidying up his clothes, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki couldn't help being a little stunned: When did he become in such a situation where he had to gamble?

It's just that the stock market has collapsed into that situation, and the real estate market... no matter how much pressure the cabinet is under, it must be slowed down, right?

I hope there will be no more sudden policies coming out...

……

"What can I do?" Facing Toshi Kaibu and Kiji Miyazawa, Tao Zhiming spread his hands straightforwardly, "The funds of Onodera's wealth have been staying in the neon stock market. I tried my best to avoid the most risky industries. , so that the customers of Onodera Wealth have the least loss in this big plunge. If I follow the real market practice, I should have been short long ago!"

"President Tao." Hai Bujun said with a gloomy face, "Don't talk about things that everyone knows well. The real estate industry involves too many people's employment and debt ratios. Now is really not the time to go to war. However, let the real estate prices slightly The decline is what we must do again. Now, it is time for you to exert your influence and help people build confidence in the stock market and expand investment in the real estate market. Although the gate of heaven has not been built yet, you have already sold out the pre-sale The construction of Kaguracho should start!"

Tao Zhiming shook his head straight: "Compared to Mr. Haibu and Mr. Miyazawa, it is better to implement the strategy of building a country with science and technology and strengthening the country with culture, which can get the support of most ordinary voters. For this money, I would rather Spend in this kind of place. The pressure on the manufacturing industry is indeed increasing, and the cost of financing is also increasing. Add a trust loan license to my trust society, and I can provide funds for the manufacturing and cultural industries. As for real estate The industry... has come to this point, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Haibu's handsome eyes showed a cold light: "At this time?"

Tao Zhiming nodded calmly: "That's right, at this time! If possible, you might as well call a special meeting. Moreover, I suggest that President Mie Ye should also attend."

"...What are you going to do?"

Tao Zhiming smiled brilliantly: "I believe you two have already learned some news about the multinational troops that have begun to gather in Ouyerte. I have invested in some companies in the United States, and I know some special news. Let me analyze for you why now is the best time!"

It's only been a year since Hongsu's sudden collapse, so we can't wait too long on Neon's side.

Neon people like to gamble very much. Now that the whole world can't see the future clearly and the country's destiny needs to be considered the most, we have to teach them the most hearty lesson.

Anyway, many chess pieces have been laid out, and slowly harvesting according to the rhythm of history, it is better to hold the sickle more smoothly!

This time, they all have to cooperate with themselves!

At such a moment, some predictions are thrown out, and once confirmed, the effect is doubled.

Anyway, he is already some kind of god, possessing such analytical ability.

Then, let your godhead be more stable!

Chapter 514: Brain hypoxia makes it easier to be fooled

The Tao Ran, which is more than [-] meters long, has long been a sight in Tokyo Bay. Ever since Tao Zhiming ascended to the "God's Throne" and solved the "gold power transaction" incident without bloodshed, the neon people at the peak of the bubble era have nowhere to go. It has become a great pleasure for the top rich to rent the Taoran to go out to sea to show off their wealth.

Of course, Tao Zhiming and his friends are only open to rent when they are not in use.The dates are not fixed, so you have to queue up in advance.

This team is worth queuing up, because Tao Zhiming will often lead the handover in person, can meet for ten minutes or even half an hour, and can "deepen friendship" with him?

From the beginning of the year to the present, the neon stock market has been falling, which has amplified this demand.

Everyone knows that Tao Zhiming is "very strictly controlled" by the Ministry of Finance and cannot say anything publicly.But chatting in private and getting some hints, it's okay, right?

As a result, there are more and more members of the Tiantianhui, and the threshold is extremely high.

The 1500 million yen ferry ticket on New Year's Eve is actually the lowest in hindsight.After all, at this moment in Tokyo, a small two-bedroom apartment costs hundreds of millions of yen.If you can join this top circle with a small house, how can you show your style?

The benefits are also obvious. Tao Zhiming did not design any products for them through Onodera Fortune, but let them subscribe for shares through a well-known trust and an overseas fund established in the United States and operated by Maehara Kumina and Fukaya Riko. .

The monthly income report is just told them point-to-point.Everyone strictly abided by the confidentiality agreement, and they had a lot of fun all day long.

Compared with those who have suffered serious losses, this day's meeting is too worthwhile to join.

Today is Tao Zhiming's birthday on October 10th.On this day last year, he held a wedding banquet on the Tao Ran, and then the "Weekly Wenchun" attacked him.

A year has passed, and the Tao Ran is safe and sound.

The home port of the yacht is closed again today, which is naturally his special guests who need to entertain.

The members of the Heavenly Society were envious.Although they know that they have joined a small circle, none of the people in the circle is really important enough to exceed tens of billions of yen.With Tao Zhiming's net worth of tens of billions of dollars, there must be a more powerful coterie above the Heavenly Society.

That small circle no longer needs to operate in the form of the Heavenly Council.They must be close partners or close friends with each other, and they belong to people who can get together to chat and have fun at any time.

It must even include some important figures in the political circles, this is for sure, and everyone knows it well.

The Neon people's emotions towards the truly strong are very complicated.

So even though many people are clear, gold power trading must exist.But since he can get out of that kind of top-level contest, it proves that his strength is stronger than the attacker imagined.

When such a person is in a stable position, all he can gain is worship.Of course, there can be peeps too.

So Tao Ran left Hong Kong first, besides Tao Zhiming himself, there were also people like Kinoshita Hidekaze and Ueda Masahiro who didn't have to shy away from having close contacts with him. The peeping people didn't see who would accept his banquet today.

This is the benefit of setting up a helipad for a yacht of this level Tao Ran.

Many people had to show up in public during the day, and Tao Zhiming and others were the only ones who enjoyed the warm autumn sun leisurely for the time being.

"So, we don't have to pretend to be exiled anymore?" Anzhai Shanwei was pleasantly surprised after hearing what he said.

"What is exile..." Tao Zhiming laughed when he heard this, "One of you has gone to the United States, and the other is in Europe. Both of you are shouldering the important task of the consortium's next overseas deployment!"

Since Mitsui and Sumitomo withdrew from Sanyou Investment Bank, Yoshie Anzai and Tatsuo Nojima apparently lost their important positions in the consortium because of the previous events, and they were sent overseas to manage things other than the basic financial group.

In the past year, they have not been easy.Because overseas assets and businesses need to be reorganized through a complex structure under their auspices, and their respective holding companies have been quietly re-established.

Several people did not stay on the top deck, but sat one by one on the more stable main deck.

"Is the time really ripe?" Nojima Tatsuo also asked with concern, "The neon stock index fell below 2 points, but the real estate market has not yet reached the inflection point."

"Prepare in advance." Tao Zhiming hugged his youngest son and teased, "If the real estate market starts to fall, when the effect of land financing restrictions really kicks in, and then add a heavy hammer, it will be very fast."

Yoshie Anzai and Tatsuo Nojima also had good information. They looked at each other and asked, "Land value tax?"

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Actually, NHK has broadcast special programs on land issues for five consecutive nights in September. 'Land prices can fall, and the land tax system needs to be reformed', which was launched for the plan The land law and further tax reforms will pave the way. This time the tax reform really extends to the rich with real assets.”

The introduction of the previous consumption tax was considered to be aimed at ordinary people, which also caused the continued decline in the support rate of the Democratic Liberal Party.

In the election of the House of Representatives at the beginning of the year, the Democratic Liberal Party once again lost 512 seats out of a total of 9 seats.Right now, the 286 seats are only 271 more than the stable majority of 15 seats, and the situation is worrying.

What's more terrible is that due to many scandals such as the previous Likulut incident, the Democratic Liberal Party was also forced to start negotiations with the opposition party to discuss how to reform the election system of the House of Representatives, the highest house of power.

Needless to say, for the side that has been in power for many years, as long as there is a major change, it is inevitable to re-adapt; moreover, it has to start this reform very passively, and the other side obviously came prepared.

In this case, it is hard to say what the new election will look like after the reform is completed.

Under such circumstances, on the one hand, it is out of righteousness to suppress land prices, and on the other hand, it is also to win votes. This has begun to discuss such a big killer as land price tax.

In short, as long as you hold real estate, you will pay an extra tax later, no matter if you hold the land without development, or a real estate speculator with multiple suites, or even the owner of the land lease.

Nojima Tatsuo sighed: "So, real estate prices are really starting to reach an inflection point."

"After the promulgation of the policy of restricting land financing, it will be a matter of time." Tao Zhiming said nonchalantly.

"Then today's topic is..." Anzhai Zenue asked.

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "Help everyone make up their minds, and help President San Chongye convince everyone."

"What? He will come too?" Anzhai Shanwei was startled, "That guy always thinks that the disparity in wealth distribution is too big, our consortium is..."

"It's rubbish?" Tao Zhiming joked, shaking his head, "No, no, no, Sanzhong Yesang is not a fanatic. His purpose is that the central bank should be more independent. Of course, in his opinion, Politicians who only know about votes and consortia who only know about profits, many people’s understanding of finance is indeed rubbish.”

"..." Anzhai Zenwei felt a little uncomfortable, "Is he really coming? Help him convince everyone, could it be... Lord Takegami, Lord Kaibu and others will all come?"

"Otherwise? Do you think it's just my birthday party?" Tao Zhiming stared, "Don't be surprised and frighten my son."

"..."

Seeing Tao Zhiming coaxing his son, Kinoshita Hidekaze, who had already recovered the investment money from the Gate of Heaven, was the most relaxed, and joked cheerfully: "Ueda-kun, when this guy can talk, will he call Jiro an elder brother, or a brother?" uncle?"

Ueda Masahiro glanced at him lightly, but said nothing: Are you free?Do you want to practice sword?

"You can call me whatever you want!" Tao Zhiming held up Tao Zhiming, who was just born, "tonight, listen to how dad teaches!"

Tao Zhizhi, who was only a few months old, opened his mouth with a smile, babbling loudly.

"..."

Can he listen to ghosts at such a small age?Are you still holding the baby?Is it too rude?

Masahiro Ueda felt more and more outrageous.

At the beginning, I still wanted to cut down several backbone forces like Hashimoto Taro, and Iwasaki Kuranosuke couldn't bear to walk around, and by the way, save the citizens who were ensnared by the greedy consortium.

Now, the son-in-law has already conspired with them, which is a bit of a mess.

Fortunately, there should be an answer tonight. What should he do in order to truly solve the problem and give Neon a decent future.

That's why he wanted to come and listen too.

……

After nightfall, Sane Yefu made the last arrangement.

Toshihide Fukui stood behind him: "The helicopter arranged by President Tao is already waiting on the roof of the Mogami Building."

Sanchongye nodded again, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The invitation was sent by Kiji Miyazawa, but it was Tao Dalang who provided the venue.Didn't he and Miyazawa Kiji not deal with each other?

It was precisely because the Iwasaki family set off an attack on Tao Dalang that Taro Hashimoto compromised and resigned.

However, it was a good move.Hashimoto Tairo only took over as Minister of Finance for a few months. During the entire bubble economy stage and the stage when the neon stock market began to collapse before that, it was Kiji Miyazawa who bore the greatest pressure.

He who stepped down due to a scandal and came back to power through political and business struggles also lacked the confidence to resolutely suppress himself.

"If he wanted to negotiate with me in private, why did he bring in such a sensitive Tao Dalang?" San Chongye asked again.

Toshihide Fukui answered knowingly: "After some investigations, there is one thing worthy of attention. Iwasaki Ryunosuke adopted a son-in-law and adopted son, formerly named Yamane Yokohisa, who was a key member of President Tao's kendo club when he was in Todai, and who was in charge at the time. Ms. Ueda, the vice president, also knew it. At that time, it was reported in the newspaper.”
