Chapter 358 Nomura Securities and Seibu Group (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Nomura Securities, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

  The first floor is a white building, the upper five floors are a brown building, and the top floor has been replaced with a white building. Chu Huan is not very satisfied with the headquarters of the First Securities Company in Japan.

  Ms. Kui Si who was standing next to Chu Huan, uh, Mie Tanaka, was a little curious at this moment. She called Chu Huan this morning and told him about the villa. As a result, Chu Huan actually wanted to invite herself to be his tour guide and translator.

Originally, Mihui Tanaka thought that Chu Huan was like other people who often go to night shows, and wanted to take this opportunity to develop further with herself, but thought that if Chu Huan really bought that villa, the commission he would earn would be enough to make her rise to the sky in one step , and agreed to Chu Huan.

   What Mie Tanaka didn't expect was that Chu Huan wanted to bring him to Nomura Securities.

As a successful oiran, Mie Tanaka naturally knows what Nomura Securities represents in Japan. This securities company, founded in 1925, not only has the qualifications for stock trading in Japan, but also has stocks in North America and London. Trading qualifications, it is listed on the New York Stock Exchange in Beijing first, and listed on the London Stock Exchange five years later.

But what Mie Tanaka didn't know was that when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in the future, Nomura Securities would even acquire Lehman Brothers' business in the Asia-Pacific region (including Japan, Hong Kong and Australia), as well as Lehman Brothers' business in Europe and the Middle East. Investment banking and stock business.

  The current Nomura Securities is a large Japanese multinational financial capital group integrating securities brokerage, finance, trust, offshore finance and other businesses.

  After the two got out of the car, a man in a black suit was already waiting here. After seeing Chu Huan, he immediately walked over and bowed slightly.

"Hello, Mr. Chu Huan, I am Tetsuo Okumura who is in charge of receiving you this time. I am now the head of the stock trading department of Nomura Securities. After receiving the call from Xiangjiang Fengwu Securities, I have been waiting for Mr. Chu at the door. Now On behalf of Nomura Securities, Mr. Chu is very welcome!"

   It is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to come here without saying hello. Chu Huan is not in the mood to do the kind of slap in the face of coming directly without saying hello, being despised by others, and then revealing his identity to fight back.

  So when he came to Nomura Securities, Chu Huan had already called Fengwu Securities in advance. Although Fengwu Securities has no business in Japan, it still has contact with Nomura Securities.

  Listening to the other party's poor Cantonese, Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Okumura should speak Japanese, I have a translator with me!"

   "I'm very sorry, if I can cooperate with Mr. Chu, I must learn Cantonese well!" Tetsuo Okumura seriously apologized to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said, "Take us in!"

   Tetsuo Okumura led the way, leading Chu Huan and Yasuhiko Tanaka into Nomura Securities, and arrived at the Nomura stock trading floor.

At this time, Tetsuo Okumura was still a little excited. He just received a call from Fengwu Securities, saying that Chu Huan, one of the most influential wealthy people in Xiangjiang, is actually in Tokyo and wants to open an account and invest in Nomura Securities. Tetsuo Okumura immediately cheered up.

   He even called his uncle.

  No one in Nomura Securities knows that Tetsuo Okumura is the nephew of Tsunano Okumura, a senior executive of Nomura Securities.

Oku-mura was born in 1936 in a remote fishing village called Otaru in Hokkaido, the northernmost tip of Japan. The opposite side of the Japan Sea is Vladivostok. Every year, the cold current from Siberia always arrives at this small fishing village first, and then goes all the way south to Sapporo. .

   Tetsuo Okumura's neighbors are all poor fishermen, but he is more fortunate. His family runs a soy sauce shop, the business is still prosperous, and his life is barely passable.

  The difficult life in the fishing village has created Tetsuo Okumura's strong character.

When he was just able to walk, his parents put him on a ski. At the age of 7, he became an expert skier. At night, he learned to play mahjong with his friends. This skill was very important in his later career as a broker beneficial.

  Mahjong has become an effective tool for people to enhance friendship and exchange priceless market information.

  In fact, every securities company in Japan has its own mahjong room.

  He worked very hard in middle school so that he could go to university and find a good job in Tokyo that could earn money.

  Finally, he was admitted to St. Paul University in Tokyo, which paved the way for his later success, because going to university in Japan is the hardest step.

  Once admitted to university, it is not very difficult to find a good job.

  In the three years of college, Okumura either participated in various sports, or drank and chased girls. After graduating from college, his uncle would help him find a job. He always thought so.

  However, it was not easy to get a good job in Japan after the war, so he worked very hard in the early days of his work.

  Looking back many years later, he found that his estimate was indeed good, and his carefree college career was the happiest time in his life.

   There is no doubt that Okumura can find a job at Nomura Securities after graduation.

  In April 1958, he officially joined Nomura and became a salesman in Tokyo. The old Okumura cared for his nephew and invited him to live in his home in Hiroo, Tokyo. Two years passed like this. Celebrities and dignitaries came to the house almost every day, and there was an endless stream. As the president of Nomura, many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen are their guests.

  For example, Ikeda, the prime minister at the time, was also a frequent visitor at home. Ikeda was elected as the prime minister of Japan in 1960.

   However, for the young Okumura, there are no shortcuts.

   In the next 6 years, apart from work, he had almost no time in his mind. Like other salesmen, he was placed in a crowded and extremely noisy trading room. Apart from a telephone and a desk, he didn't even have a customer. He had to go to the streets of Tokyo to find customers.

  Omura has no help from others, nor has he received formal training. He has to **** alone. After coming out of his uncle's house every morning, he goes straight to the company headquarters.

  He is still an unknown salesman, a Nomura with a position that cannot be lowered.

  His task is only two: sell stocks and persuade customers to buy investment trust funds (Japanese mutual funds, Nomura will reinvest the large sums of money collected from customers into the stock market).

   In order to make a deal, Okumura must knock on the door day after day.

   For this reason, he is often scolded by passers-by. Even if he finally enters the client's house, it is common for the owner to scold him and throw him out.

Looking back on the past, these six years have become the most difficult days in Okumura's life. After two years of sales work in the company, he moved from his uncle's house to the company's dormitory. He wants to meet a few salesmen like him, maybe They would teach him some useful tricks, although he would not like this kind of work.

  However, after returning to the dormitory every day, he was already exhausted, and before he could say a few words, he had already fallen asleep.

  Six years of life as a salesman has long been a blurred memory.

   There is only one thing I still have a clear memory of, that is, when walking around the streets of Tokyo, his shoes always wear out very quickly.

  The situation turned around in 1964, when Okumura was 28 years old.

   That was the year that Tokyo, Japan held the Olympic Games, which marked that Japan was recognized by the world.

  Okumura was transferred to Osaka, and after 18 months of easy work, he was transferred to the Corporate Finance Department.

  Four years later, he transferred to the investment department. Four and a half years later, in 1973, he entered the company's stock trading department.

  Now he has been in this position for two years, and he also has his own clients in his hands. If it is an ordinary client, it will naturally not make him fluctuate anymore, but today's Chu Huan is different.

  He doesn't know why Chu Huan came to invest in Japan, but he understands that if he can catch Chu Huan as a client, it will definitely be a very good performance in his career!

   "Do I need to prepare anything?" Chu Huan stood in the trading hall and asked Okumura Tetsuo beside him.

Although Tetsuo Okumura can speak some Cantonese, he is not that proficient, even inferior to Yasuhito Tanaka next to Chu Huan, so after hearing Chu Huan asking himself, Tetsuo Okumura immediately looked at Anhui Tanaka next to Chu Huan benefit.

  Yasu Tanaka faithfully relayed what Chu Huan had just asked to Tetsuo Okumura.

   Tetsuo Okumura hurriedly said: "Chusang just needs to tell us your needs, and the specific legal documents can be formally signed after Chusang's professional team comes over."

  Tanaka Yasuke translated Tetsuo Okumura's words to Chu Huan, and at the same time felt a little disappointed in his heart. Although Chu Huan let himself do his translation, but now hearing Tetsuo Okumura's words, both sides don't trust him very much.

  Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's okay, go to your office now, let's listen to your needs first, I just want my team to get ready!"

  The three of them came to Tetsuo Okumura's office. Tetsuo Okumura first asked his secretary to bring drinks for Chu Huan and Yasuke Tanaka, and then seriously introduced the situation of Nomura Securities to Chu Huan.

  In fact, he wanted to know what exactly Chu Huan wanted to do here.

  However, Chu Huan did not tell Tetsuo Okumura what he thought in his heart, but after learning about some things about investing in securities in Japan during this period, he said that he understood and would bring a professional team over tomorrow.

   Tetsuo Okumura also understands that if someone like Chu Huan wants to invest in Japan, it is definitely impossible to make a one-shot deal, so he has no opinion on Chu Huan's decision.

   "Chu Sang, it's getting late now, why don't you let me be the host, how about inviting Chu Sang and Ms. Tanaka to have lunch together?"

   Tetsuo Okumura extended an invitation to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, there will be many opportunities in the future. I have other things to do this afternoon."

   Seeing that although Chu Huan rejected his invitation, he also explained that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, Tetsuo Okumura stopped talking and nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will not bother Chu Sang!"

   Subsequently, Tetsuo Okumura personally sent Chu Huan out of Nomura Securities.

   After Chu Huan and Tanaka Yasuke left by car, Okumura Tetsuo went directly to his uncle's office and told his uncle Okumura Tsu Nanxiong about Chu Huan's conversation with him.

   "Is this Eastern Lion just here to invest in Japan? Or does it have other ideas?"

  Tsu Nanxiong Okumura leaned on his comfortable seat, talking to himself silently.

   Tetsuo Okumura did not give him an answer.

   Okumura Tsu Nanxiong finally said: "Contact Chu Huan first, no matter what the other party's plan is, report the situation to me tomorrow!"

   Tetsuo Okumura nodded and said, "Okay!"

  After Chu Huan and Tanaka Anhui left Nomura Securities, they came to Shibuya District in Tokyo, where they found a century-old tavern that Tanaka Anhui said!

   "Chu Sang, are you planning to move your business to Tokyo?"

Anhui Tanaka sat across from Chu Huan, chatting with Chu Huan in a soft voice, first buying a villa in Tokyo, then investing in a film company with Kosuke Nozaki, and now entering the securities industry in Japan, Tanaka No matter how An Hui looked at it, she felt that Chu Huan wanted to move his business to Tokyo.

   "Of course not, but Tokyo is now the financial center of the whole of Asia. I am very optimistic about the development of Tokyo in the next period of time, so I will make some investments in Tokyo!"

  Chu Huan preached to Anhui Tanaka in a true and false manner.

  Tanaka Anhui nodded, and said with a smile: "That's what I was thinking too much, I hope Chu Sang will not be offended!"

  Chu Huan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Are there many girls in Kabukicho, Tokyo, like you, who know so much about business matters?"

   Before it was time to see the manor, Chu Huan started chatting with Anhui Tanaka.

  Tanaka Anhui smiled and said: "We don't even know it. It's just that my mother asked someone to teach us some knowledge in this area, so I know more!"

  Chu Huan understood the meaning. At the level of Anhui Tanaka, the guests who accompany her are basically rich or expensive. Naturally, she needs to cultivate more professional knowledge in this area.

   "I don't know what to do after Ms. Tanaka retires?" Chu Huan changed the subject.

  In Japan, there is an age limit for oirans. They will retire at the age of 28, which is much better than those young women in ancient times.

   Sure enough, when hearing this topic, Yasuhiro Tanaka's eyes lighted up slightly, and she said with a smile, "I want to study fashion design and become a fashion designer in the future!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good idea, but this road is not easy to walk. Ms. Tanaka may have to plan to endure hardships!"

  Tanaka Anhui smiled a little lonely: "I don't think it will be more bitter than now!"

  Japan's drinking culture has always been carried out. Even in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, it was still the first choice of many wealthy people, and girls like them would naturally be able to get a lot of useful information.

  Chu Huanxiao asked: "How much money is needed to open a nightclub like a gentleman's club in Tokyo, does Ms. Tanaka know?"

  Hearing Chu Huan's question, Tanaka Anhui didn't think much about it, but thought that Chu Huan was asking casually.

   "If it is the size of a gentleman's club, it will cost about 400 million yen. However, if you want to do this business, the most difficult thing is not the funds, but the need to settle things in the world."

   "Understood!" Chu Huan smiled.

   This is the same as the nightclub in Xiangjiang. If there is no protection from the society, people will go in to make trouble every day.

   "Why is Chu Sang interested in this matter?" Tanaka Anhui asked a little curiously.

  Because I found out that if there is a luxurious nightclub in Tokyo, more business intelligence can be obtained here.

   Taking the matter of buying a house by himself this time as an example, Kosuke Nozaki, as one of the richest people in Tokyo, was not as quick as Tanaka Yasuke to help him solve this matter.

"It's just a little curiosity!" It is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to tell Tanaka Anhui about this now, but this does not prevent Chu Huan from continuing to ask Tanaka Anhui: "Which club is in charge of the Kabukicho area?" protected?"

  Yasu Tanaka said frankly: "There are many, and the relationship there is intricate. The Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, and Inagawa-kai all have influence in Shinjuku. Our gentleman's club cooperates with the Yamaguchi-gumi."

  Chu Huan nodded, but Chu Huan also knew that after more than ten years, this place would be even more chaotic, because there were Chinese and South Korean associations here!

  It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed slowly and in the long run.

   "Miss Tanaka is still very sensitive to business. In fact, you can also try to do business. I believe that with your ability, even doing business will have a very promising future."

   Chu Huan preached.

  Tanaka Anhui showed some sadness at this time, and said: "In business, there are always profits and losses. It is good to make profits. If you lose, you may lose your life savings."

   "From Miss Tanaka's words, it seems that Miss Tanaka still has some stories!" Chu Huan continued.

  Tanaka Anhui lowered his head and stirred the drink in front of him. Seeing this, Chu Huan knew that the other party didn't want to mention this matter, so he smiled and didn't talk about it again.

Soon the time was almost up, Chu Huan, led by Anhui Tanaka, came to the Daikanyama area in Shibuya District, and soon Chu Huan saw a manor with a traditional Japanese garden style appearing in front of him .

  Tanaka Anhui said with a smile at this time: "Chu Sang, this is the place I told you about, and the original owner of this place is"

   "Anhui!"

   Without saying a word, dressed purely, Hanaoka Nanakura, who was about the same age as Tanaka Anhui, got out of the car, and happily greeted Tanaka Anhui. At the same time, a man about forty years old got out of the car.

  The man is tall and straight, with a touch of domineering between his brows.

   And when Chu Huan saw this man, he already knew the man's identity.

   Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, chairman of Seibu Group, Japan's top consortium, was selected as the first richest man in the world in the 1990s, with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars at that time!

   At the same time, he is also called the most hated person by Japanese young people by countless Japanese media!

  Because many people attribute Japan's high housing prices to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's responsibility, it is rumored that the Seibu Group at its peak owned one-sixth of Japan's land!

The life of this man is quite legendary. His father, Kojiro Tsutsumi, not only founded the Seibu Group, but also had political experience. Kojiro Tsutsumi was not only proficient in economics and politics, he was also romantic and passionate. He had three wives and countless affairs. Many women claimed to have his children but were all denied by him, and there were five men and two women who were really admitted.

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was born in Kojiro Tsutsumi's concubine, so he is often despised as a "concubine's son".

Japan's big families have always adhered to the eldest son inheritance system, but Kojiro Tsutsumi is not a person who follows the rules. His desire for control and suspicious personality cultivated in the political and business circles have made him a domineering personality at home. The habit of children in the family can only be treated differently if they obey him.

   Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was ranked third, with two older brothers on top. The eldest ran away from home early because he could not accept his father's dictatorship.

  The second child is Seiji Tsutsumi, the founder of the brand MUJI we are very familiar with. Although he has not completely severed his relationship with his father, there is still a very big gap between him and his father.

  Tsutsu Seiji joined the party that opposed the Democratic Party of his father Kojiro Tsutsumi when he was a student, which made Kojiro Tsutsumi very dissatisfied.

   After Kojiro Tsutsumi was disappointed with his two eldest sons, he put all his energy on Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

  The status of a concubine made Yoshiaki Tsutsumi introverted since he was a child, and his submissive mother taught him that he must please his father in order to be favored, so Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is very obedient.

It is rumored that once, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was punished by his father to kneel because of a mistake, but after a while there was an accident in the branch office, and Kojiro Tsutsumi rushed to deal with it and forgot to wake him up. Unexpectedly, it took three days and two nights. Ming still knelt in place.

  This incident moved Tsutsumi Kojiro very much, and he became more and more interested in him from then on.

  Of course, it was later confirmed that this matter was not true, but anyway, Kojiro Tsutsumi had begun to train Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

In 1952, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was admitted to Waseda University as a major in economics. Kojiro Tsutsumi arranged for him to intern at the first company he founded, the National Land Planning Company, in order to allow him to apply the theory to corporate management, and gave him a scholarship. solved a difficult problem: attracting tourists to Karuizawa in winter.

  At that time, the company bought a large piece of cheap land in Karuizawa and wanted to build tourist facilities. Surrounded by mountains, the climate is pleasant, and many tourists go there to escape the heat in summer.

  However, the altitude is more than 1,000 meters, and few people go there in the cold winter months, so the tourism industry is very deserted in winter.

After receiving the task, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi visited Karuizawa in person and made a detailed investigation on the local terrain, climate and landscape. After a long time of thinking, he proposed to the company to build ski resorts and ice skating rinks according to local conditions, taking this as the theme Add corresponding restaurants, hotels and other facilities to create a winter tourist resort.

  Kojiro Tsutsumi was very pleased to see his plan, thinking that he was far-sighted in business, and further strengthened his plan to train him to inherit the family.

  Since then, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has been studying with Kojiro Tsutsumi and has accumulated rich business experience, but at the same time he has inherited Kojiro Tsutsumi's suspicious and authoritarian style.

  In 1964, Kojiro Tsutsumi passed away. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who was less than 30 years old at the time, assumed the responsibility of the family and officially became the head of the Seibu Group.

  When Kojiro Tsutsumi passed away, he warned Yoshiaki Tsutsumi not to invest in real estate within ten years!

   Regarding this warning, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi resolutely followed through.

In the 1960s, Japan was experiencing its first economic boom after World War II. Industry and commerce were thriving, and the real estate industry was also highly anticipated. Many people in the Seibu Group, which made its fortune in real estate, advised him to seize the opportunity and expand its business territory, but He didn't dare to make a decision lightly.

  At that time, the company's veterans and the second brother in charge of Seibu Department Store were all watching his every move. Once he made a wrong decision, he would be taken as an excuse and cause a power struggle.

  Because of Seiji Tsutsumi’s pressing step by step, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi finally made a painful decision in 1971 and interviewed his second brother. In the end, the two brothers agreed to split the Seibu Group into two.

  At that time, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki proposed to merge Seibu Department Store and Seibu Chemical Company into Seibu Distribution Company and hand it over to the second brother to operate. The remaining companies remained unchanged and changed their name to Seibu Railway Group.

  In Kojiro Tsutsumi’s will, Seiji Tsutsumi only inherited a Seibu department store. Now that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has made a concession and gave more to Seibu Chemical, Seiji Tsutsumi naturally agreed with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi’s suggestion.

   So the two officially separated!

  In 1973, Japan was hit hard by the oil crisis. Many companies went bankrupt and closed down one after another. Seibu Department Store of Seiji Tsutsumi also suffered backlash because of its rapid expansion.

   At that time, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki took money from the group to help Tsutsumi Seiji get through this difficult time.

   It is precisely because of this incident that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's prestige in the Seibu Group has completely risen to another level.

  It is now 75 years, and exactly ten years have passed since Kojiro Tetsu's warning.

And Tsutsumi Yoshiaki will also start his own glorious road. At the beginning of this year, Seibu Group began to purchase large tracts of land across the country, build hotels, resorts, railways and other infrastructure on a large scale, and plans to create a series of entertainment and tourism complexes. Holiday in one service area.

   To make sure his idea would work, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi first conducted experiments in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

  Shinagawa District faces Mt. Fuji to the west and Tokyo Bay to the east. It has a pleasant environment and convenient transportation. If the planning is done well, urban white-collar workers from Tokyo and surrounding cities will definitely flock here.

By the mid-1980s, Seibu Group's business territory had covered the entire Japan. It controlled one-sixth of Japan's real estate, owned more than 20 tourist areas, hundreds of golf courses, and 20,000 Many hotel rooms have become the well-deserved number one chain brand in Japan.

  But Yoshiaki Tsutsumi’s most memorable saying is his famous saying: It’s better to use slaves than talents!

  Tsutsu Yoshiaki has completely inherited a suspicious and authoritarian character under the teaching of Tsutsumi Kojiro. He doesn't believe in anyone's opinion, and only asks his subordinates to follow his own requirements completely.

  Tsutsu Yoshiaki also said: Seibu Group does not need smart people, because smart people always have their own ideas, they will be lazy, ambitious, and will only bring trouble to the company. The group only needs loyal people. They may not be geniuses, but as long as they earnestly fulfill their job responsibilities, they will make the greatest contribution to the group.

   Such a character naturally led to the shattering of the myth of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was finally sentenced to two years in prison by Japan for a series of commercial cases.

  The most ironic thing is that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had a very trusted female secretary at that time, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi transferred a lot of property to the secretary's name.

  However, when Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was serving his sentence in prison, the female secretary carried a large amount of assets and disappeared. In the end, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi only had two real estate properties and a generation of business legends ended.

   Also, the next chapter is at eight in the morning~
