Chapter 1361: If you're not even active in making money, what kind of future can you have?!
Taking advantage of the gap after the preliminary editing of the film, Naoki Nagayama came to Shuyou Capital in Shinjuku for the first time in a long time.
"Choka-chan, the previous invitations have all been replied to, right?"
Naoki Nagayama asked Kinai Choka while adjusting his formal suit.
"Did anyone say they wouldn't come?"
"Hai!"
Kinai Choka nodded repeatedly. Some time ago, Naoki Nagayama asked her to send letters in the name of Shuyou Capital to invite some investment institutions and private equity giants to drink tea, and the financial giants in Japan naturally gave face to this investment genius.
"Everyone agreed to come."
"Well, it's about time, let's set off too..."
Naoki Nagayama invited the heads of venture capital institutions in the financial circle. As for consortiums like Mitsui, Sanwa, and Sumitomo, they were not among them for the time being... To be honest, Shuyou Capital did not reach the standard of such consortiums~
This time he wanted to hold a so-called "closed-door meeting" to discuss future investment directions and risks.
With Naoki Nagayama's super strong experience of more than thirty years, his foresight was absolutely the most accurate, and it could even be said to be an unadulterated money-making strategy!
The reason for sharing it with this group of people was to reach a certain degree of consensus with them... to form a same camp externally, making Shuyou look more powerful!
Only in this way could Shuyou stand more firmly on the international stage!!!
Arriving at Sanmaiju in Ginza, Naoki Nagayama got off the car, and Kinai Choka followed with a stack of materials.
Sanmaiju, which was always crowded, was actually closed today, which surprised tourists who came for the name and previous regular customers.
However, seeing that the shop door was not closed, many people would come to the front desk to ask... but the manager, Katsuo Yasui, used excuses like renovation, inspection, etc., to brush them off~
Naoki Nagayama was naturally not surprised, because it was he who asked Sanmaiju to be empty today, and only those with invitations could enter...
On the second floor with the best light, the booths originally separated by screens had their partitions removed today, and the seating layout was adjusted, and an exquisite Japanese-style room was arranged in front of the street-facing window!
"Naoki-san..."
Seeing Naoki Nagayama, Katsuo Yasui walked up to talk.
"People have already come..."
"Well, how many people came?"
"Already 7 people!"
"Is Chinatsu-san serving now?"
"Hai... according to the tastes of the guests, the top tea leaves and the best tea snacks have been brewed!"
"Well, that's good..."
After understanding the general situation, Naoki Nagayama looked at the time and then looked at the street outside, and said:
"There will be people disturbing outside, so Yasui-san, close the shop door... don't let those who come later in!"
"Hai!"
Katsuo Yasui naturally obeyed Naoki Nagayama's orders completely and started to close the shop door very nimbly.
But Kinai Choka, who heard Naoki Nagayama's words, widened her eyes slightly, because she had sent ten invitations!
"Naoki-san... only 7 companies have arrived now."
Kinai Choka thought Naoki Nagayama had forgotten.
"There are still 3 companies that haven't come!"
"Heh... if the time is up and they don't come, it means they don't attach importance to this meeting... it's a slight to Shuyou Capital! And it's a disrespect to the other participants who arrived on time!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head and walked inside.
"For such people, why bring them along to make money!"
"But..."
Kinai Choka was still a bit worried.
"What if it's a traffic jam?!"
"Heh... then blame them for taking a Mazda!"
"..."
Kinai Choka behind him was full of confusion. What does this have to do with Mazda... could it be that sitting in a Mazda will cause a traffic jam?!
After arriving on the second floor, Naoki Nagayama scanned the circle. He saw Chinatsu Sakakibara, wearing a kimono, standing on the side to serve. Around the table in the temporary Japanese-style room, 7 men of different ages were chatting and laughing.
They were Hiroshi Hidaka, Executive Director of Nomura Holdings; Yasuhiro Kajiwara, Chairman of Daiwa Capital; Akihisa Ueno, a major shareholder of Yamaha Securities; Mitsuhiro Katagiri, Investment Department Manager of Itochu Corporation Private Equity; and Mika Suga, General Manager of the Japan Venture Enterprise Center (VEC)...
At this time, everyone was drinking tea, eating snacks, or looking at the street view outside the window and chatting...
When Chinatsu Sakakibara saw Naoki Nagayama, she walked over quickly:
"Naoki-san..."
"Well... sorry to trouble you, Chinatsu-san~"
"Not at all..."
Naoki Nagayama walked among the crowd and greeted with a smile:
"Everyone, long time no see..."
"Ah... Naoki-kun!"
Hiroshi Hidaka of Nomura Holdings greeted first.
"You are really a busy person! I can never find you when drinking..."
"Yeah, yeah..."
Mika Suga, General Manager of VEC, also pretended to be dissatisfied.
"You don't even attend the monthly venture capital company meetings!!"
The Japan Venture Enterprise Center (VEC) was a non-profit fund led by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, supporting and guiding venture capital companies, which could be considered a semi-official institution... although most mature venture capital companies didn't pay much attention to them...
"Hahaha~"
Naoki Nagayama laughed and apologized.
"It's really too busy filming movies... I can't find time... I will definitely come to apologize when I have a chance..."
"Everyone, don't blame Naoki-kun anymore~"
Akihisa Ueno, a major shareholder of Yamaha Securities, teased.
"After all, Naoki-kun's main job is filming movies... investment is just a side job~"
"Yeah, yeah..." "Makes sense!" "Correct..." "Haha~" "..."
A group of people burst into hearty laughter... For a while, the atmosphere on the second floor of Sanmaiju appeared harmonious and beautiful~
Actually, don't look at how these people appear to be very familiar with Naoki Nagayama; in fact, Naoki Nagayama had only met some of them a few times, barely acquaintances...
The ones he was relatively familiar with were probably Hiroshi Hidaka of Nomura and Mika Suga, the General Manager of VEC... These two had chatted at the emergency discussion meeting after the stock market crash and had met a few times afterward.
However, as executives of venture capital companies, everyone was a human spirit, and they wouldn't let the scene cool down anyway!
After the small talk, Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything:
"I invited everyone to drink tea today... because I want to share some thoughts with everyone..."
He signaled Kinai Choka to distribute the materials to the participants, and after everyone received them, they all joked:
"Oh? Is it an investment bible?!" "Then we have to take a good look..."
Then they opened it and looked... As time passed, the expressions on their faces gradually became solemn from the original casualness!
"This is..."
Hiroshi Hidaka raised his eyes and looked at Naoki Nagayama who was drinking tea.
"Is this Naoki-san's view on the capital market in the next two years?!"
"Yes!"
Naoki Nagayama put down his teacup and nodded.
This report was analyzed by a third-party research company he invited to collect global economic data... Of course, based on his expectation of the bubble burst, he adjusted it carefully...
"Currently, funds are pouring into the stock market, property market, etc., rather than the real industrial economy, leading to an abnormal emptiness in the virtual economy. The Japanese economy is already like cooking oil on a fire. I think everyone should feel this..."
Naoki Nagayama spoke slowly to everyone present.
"However, prosperity leads to decline, which is the law of development of things... just like the Heavenly Dao, it is irreversible..."
"So..."
General Manager Mika Suga sighed and opened his mouth.
"Do you think there will definitely be a collapse exclusive to Japan in the future?!"
"Yeah..."
Naoki Nagayama sighed.
"In the last stock market crash, the economies of all countries suffered great disasters, but it also extinguished the heat of the virtual economy... Only Japan was lucky enough to suffer less damage, and the recovery was also very fast..."
"But it also made the virtual fire in the Japanese economy more and more vigorous... The public is increasingly willing to invest funds in the stock market and property market! Blowing the virtual economy into a big bubble that is constantly growing..."
"Under such a trend, there will always be a critical point where the real economy cannot support the virtual economy, and the bubble will burst!"
"And I think this critical point is getting closer and closer!"
"..."
This, of course, cannot be considered alarmist. In fact, before the Japanese bubble burst, many economists had analyzed it, but the profits were too large, and investors were unwilling to give up... However, it was like passing a drum and passing a flower; no one would think that they would be the most unlucky one!
If it weren't for the hard landing policy adopted by the Japanese government and the central bank, leading to the economic collapse like dominoes, maybe the bubble would have burst slowly for more than ten years...
At this time, the thoughts of the people present were different, and they exchanged in low voices. Some of them even wanted to refute that Naoki Nagayama was exaggerating!
But thinking about it, before the stock market crash, this guy had predicted the stock market crash in advance... Naoki Nagayama had real combat results!
"So... Naoki-kun!"
A few minutes later, the discussion gradually stopped, and everyone looked at Naoki Nagayama again... Mitsuhiro Katagiri, the manager of Itochu Corporation, spoke.
"Why do you want to share this judgment with us?!"
"Ha... of course because everyone is a good friend!"
Naoki Nagayama's words made the expressions of the people present unchanged, and even brought some dissatisfaction...
"Naoki-kun, don't joke at this time!"
Mitsuhiro Katagiri said.
"Although this report is detailed... it only provides data and analysis... it lacks the most critical part!"
"The time when the bubble burst... and how we should respond to this situation!"
"This is the reason why Naoki-kun found us today, right!"
A smile appeared on Naoki Nagayama's face again:
"Sure enough, it's convenient to talk to smart people!"
"Regarding the time of the bubble burst... this is a chaotic system, how could I know the specific time?!"
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Naoki Nagayama supported the table with both hands.
"Shuyou Capital is just a small tree... just want to connect with everyone to form a piece in the foreseeable future and prepare to endure the wind and rain..."
"..." Everyone was silent for a while.
And Akihisa Ueno spoke directly:
"Why find us? If you want to avoid the wind and rain, shouldn't you find consortiums like Mitsui and Mitsubishi? It's better to rely on big trees to cover the wind and rain!"
"Because they won't listen to me at all!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
"These big consortiums are completely bound to Japan. As long as Japan is still there, you never have to worry about wind and rain..."
"Venture capital companies like us need to hug together!"
The 7 people present looked at each other, and in fact, they also agreed with this statement in their hearts!
In Japan, it is not an exaggeration to say that big consortiums share the same fate as the country!
"Then... Naoki-san, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Hiroshi Hidaka of Nomura asked.
"What do you want us to do? How to hug together?"
"Ha! You asked the point!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone is a venture capital with profit as the highest pursuit, so I naturally won't think about forming a joint venture group or something..."
"I just want the people in this Japanese-style room to form a loose alliance!"
"Come to drink tea once a month, we discuss the layout of certain areas, share the spoils... ah no, profit sharing..."
Naoki Nagayama paused.
"I will throw out an investment direction based on my own judgment, and everyone will make money together!
Then when that important moment comes, we can report to each other to keep warm..."
Actually, Naoki Nagayama just wanted more people to disperse the pressure... When the bubble bursts, Shuyou will definitely be able to escape, but being so maverick might be regarded as a thorn in the eye by big consortiums and big financial cliques...
It would be bad if they used the same routine as the United States and adopted political means to snatch funds by then~
After all, Shuyou Group's foundation is still a bit light!
"This..."
Several people's eyeballs rolled around, thinking about the pros and cons rapidly.
"It seems there is no harm..."
However, General Manager Mika Suga still asked:
"Then what benefit does it have for you, Naoki-kun?"
"Of course, it's the huge benefit of making money steadily!"
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.
"However, before that, I must ask all good friends to exert their strength in the investment circle and render the Japanese investment community's worry about American investment... let them untie the money of my Shuyou Capital!"
He is going to the United States at the end of March. If he doesn't solve the case of Shuyou Capital's American branch, how can he rest assured to fly over?!
It was not until he heard this that the group of old foxes truly relaxed a bit...
Sure enough, Naoki Nagayama still had requests!
This group of profit-oriented guys would not think that anyone would be selfless! Only when there is a request is there a scruple!
"That's naturally no problem!" "A small matter!" "This is the truth itself!" "..."
Anyway, it's a matter of opening your mouth, and there is no great cost!
"Haha, then thank you very much!"
Naoki Nagayama signaled Kinai Choka to offer another set of materials again.
"Then today, let's discuss... the financial bond reform in a certain Eastern country at the beginning of the year..."
In this era, a certain Eastern country is in urgent need of international funds, and it is the honeymoon period for both sides. After the opening, Naoki Nagayama also wants to be a patriotic capitalist... start by pulling investment for the mainland!
A car suddenly stopped at the entrance of Sanmaiju.
Then two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes got off. They were Toshiyasu Sugihara and Toshiyuki Shimura from the Kyoto Enterprise Development Agency (KED). They were a bit surprised when they saw the closed shop door:
"Hmm? Didn't they say they were drinking tea here? Why is it closed?!"
"Maybe it was specially booked!"
Another person, Toshiyuki Shimura, said.
"Naoki Nagayama is still very capable, directly booking Sanmaiju..."
"Haha, however, Shuyou Capital is still young after all... can't compare with our Kyoto Enterprise Development Agency, we are the first private venture capital company..."
"Yeah, yeah~"
The two walked to the shop door chatting and laughing, not taking being late for almost half an hour to heart at all, and knocked on the big door.
"Open the door, we are here to drink tea!"
"..."
After a few breaths, the shop door opened a crack, and the manager, Katsuo Yasui, apologized:
"Guest-san, sumimasen, Sanmaiju is not open today!"
"We were invited to come!"
Toshiyasu Sugihara took out the invitation letter.
"We were invited by Naoki Nagayama!"
"Ah... is that so!"
Manager Katsuo Yasui looked a bit embarrassed.
"But the tea party has already started, and Naoki-san ordered that those who are late... are not allowed to enter!"
"!!!" "???"
Toshiyasu Sugihara and Toshiyuki Shimura were stunned.
"Do you know what you are talking about?! We are the Kyoto Enterprise Development Agency!!"
"We received an invitation letter before coming!"
"Sumimasen..."
Manager Katsuo Yasui continued to shake his head.
"Naoki-san said, if you are not even active in making money, what kind of future can you have... those who are late are not allowed to enter! You two should go back!"
"!!!" "??"
Toshiyuki Shimura's blood rushed to his head instantly... No one had dared to talk to him like this for many years!
"You... " "Where is this guy Naoki Nagayama?! Let him come down for me!!" "Apologize to me!" "..."
"Sumimasen..."
No matter how Toshiyasu Sugihara and Toshiyuki Shimura talked, Katsuo Yasui only had this one word... and after a few times, he actually closed the shop door directly!!!
Leaving only the two people outside who were furious in vain!
"How dare you look down on us like this?!" "Does this guy Naoki Nagayama not want to mix in the investment circle anymore?!"
"We will definitely make him look good!!!"
"..."
Then they cursed and returned to the car, stepping on the accelerator and driving away~
At this time, Yasuhiro Kajiwara, the chairman of Daiwa Capital, who saw this scene on the second floor, looked at Naoki Nagayama with some confusion:
"Naoki-kun, is this really okay?! You made enemies for nothing! You might regret it later!"
"Hehe!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
"The ones who should regret it are them!"
Then he glanced at the people who had just discussed investing in the mainland enthusiastically:
"This tea party of ours is not something anyone can enter if they want to!"
"It won't be long before everyone will know about us!"
"Hahaha~ Then borrow Naoki-kun's lucky words!" "That's the best!" "Correct, correct..." "..."
Everyone knew from the discussion just now that Naoki Nagayama's strategic vision was far higher than ordinary people! ===== CHAPTER 1362 =====
