Chapter 781 The Last Madness Before the Bubble Bursts
After Mr. A left, Liu Sen came out of the room next to him and asked with some doubt: "Do you still need to give the funds to others to trade?"
In Liu Sen's opinion, Qin Hao's ability to trade stocks can almost be described as a "stock god". Liu Luanxiong is known as a stock market sniper. He is a big shot in the Hong Kong stock market and has made the Li family, one of the four major families, look humiliated. However, he still suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash in 1987.
However, Qin Hao took advantage of the 1987 stock market crash and made a profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. So far, Qin Hao has never failed.
How could such a person need others to help him make money?
Qin Hao smiled calmly and poured Liu Sen a glass of wine.
"I have been focusing on Japan recently. The financial market in the mainland is different from the rest of the world. I don't have the extra energy to study the operating rules of the mainland financial market. This An happens to have a professional team. Through their operating procedures, I can understand the rules of the mainland financial market in the shortest time."
"For this, I only need to pay a mere 5% handling fee. This deal is profitable no matter how you calculate it."
Liu Sen nodded thoughtfully: "Well, that makes sense. The most precious thing in business is time."
Looking at the China World Trade Center in front of him, Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. His purpose of laying out two years in advance is naturally not that simple.
Half a month later, the groundbreaking ceremonies of Shenzhen Mixc Plaza and Hema Supermarket were held one after another. At the strong suggestion of Director Zhang, Qin Hao invited several celebrities from Hong Kong to come to help. At the same time, Director Zhang also invited several leaders to come to the platform. All major media in Shenzhen also flocked to the scene, and the scene was very lively.
In mid-September, after the groundbreaking ceremony, Qin Hao handed over all the projects of Mixc Plaza and Hema Supermarket to Liu Sen, and boarded the flight to Japan alone.
Since the Plaza Accord was signed in 1985, the Japanese yen has experienced a four-year appreciation. According to the basic theory of economics, the impact of currency appreciation should be negative, because it will cause the competitiveness of export products to decline.
For a country like Japan that is extremely dependent on exports, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow.
But strangely, in the four years after the Plaza Accord was signed, Japan's economy was not only not hit, but also extremely prosperous.
In particular, the Japanese stock market and real estate market have experienced a very strange prosperity in these four years.
The Nikkei index has soared from 12,000 points in 1985 to 28,000 points in just four years, and is about to break the 30,000 point mark.
The increase in four years exceeded 150%
And Japan's real estate market is also very crazy. The housing price in Tokyo was about 1.5 million yen per square meter in 1985, and by 1989, it had soared to 8 million yen per square meter.
A piece of land in Ginza, Tokyo, was auctioned at 970,000 US dollars per square meter, becoming the place with the highest land price in the world.
The Japanese real estate market is not worth every penny, it can only be described as crazy.
Not only the stock market and the real estate market, the entire Japanese society is in a kind of "floating in the air" madness at this time.
This can be seen from the popularity of Japanese nightclubs. Almost every night after 6 o'clock in the evening, all nightclubs are full. Without a certain social status, don't even think about booking a box.
At night, the neon lights start to flash, and there will inevitably be a large number of taxis waiting at the door of the nightclub, because these guests who come to the nightclub to consume are often generous, and the tips they get from taking an order here are sometimes higher than the usual day's income.
The concept of "100 million middle-class people" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The confidence of the Japanese people in the Japanese economy at this time is unprecedented, and they even shouted: If Japan is willing, it can buy half of the United States.
After Qin Hao came to Tokyo, he had seen Japanese guests more than once generously giving huge tips to waiters, often 100,000 yen, which is almost 1,000 US dollars.
So when Qin Hao took out a ten-dollar tip and handed it to the waiter, the waiter's tone of thank you was a little stiff.
At Tokyo Citibank, Qin Hao had previously converted the 15 million US dollars he withdrew from the Hong Kong stock market into 1.8 billion yen and invested it in the Tokyo stock market. In just two months, it brought Qin Hao a profit of 100 million yen.
"Mr. Qin, are you sure you want to apply for a five-fold leverage?" The stock broker kindly reminded.
Qin Hao asked back: "Why? Am I not qualified enough?"
"Of course not, Mr. Qin is a VIP of our Citibank, I will apply for you now."
Soon, the stock broker came back and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I have applied for a five-fold leverage for you."
"Okay, help me buy all the Nikkei indexes."
"No problem, Mr. Qin, are you going to buy up or down?"
"Up!"
"A very wise choice."
Looking at the proud and complacent smile on the stock broker's face, Qin Hao sneered in his heart, let's see how long you can laugh.
In the following two months, the Nikkei index continued to rise rapidly, with no signs of collapse. On the contrary, the Japanese stock market became increasingly popular. Many Japanese who were not used to stock trading also invested in the stock market after hearing their colleagues, relatives and friends talk about how much money they made every day.
In fact, it is no wonder that Japanese stock investors are so crazy. Many Japanese people work hard for a month, but their wages are not enough to make up for the profits of one day of stock trading. After a long time, it is inevitable that their mentality will be unbalanced.
The stock god Buffett once said: No one wants to get rich slowly.
After experiencing the pleasure of making quick money, few people can calm down and accept the hard-earned salary every month.
In this regard, stocks actually have something in common with gambling.
The madness of the Japanese people is also directly reflected in the Nikkei Index. From 29,000 points in mid-September to mid-November, the Nikkei Index has exceeded 37,000 points.
That day, Qin Hao saw a news report on TV that the Bank of Japan adjusted its loan interest rate for the fourth time, from the original 4.5% to 5.2.
"Hey, sell all the Nikkei index contracts in my current account, and buy the Nikkei index decline contract with five times leverage."
Qin Hao knew that the Bank of Japan would soon raise its loan interest rate for the fifth time, triggering a series of economic effects.
If you don't run now, you won't be able to run away later.
The stock broker thought he had heard it wrong and confirmed it again. It was not until Qin Hao roared in an extremely serious tone that the other party came back to his senses.
"Hmph, you actually choose to short sell at this time, and you have five times leverage. You won't know how you died when the time comes!"
The stockbroker has absolute confidence in the Japanese stock market. There are many Japanese people like him. Until December 31, 1989, the Japanese stock market was prosperous, and there was even a sign of breaking through the 40,000-point mark.
However, when the time came to New Year's Day in 1990, just when the Japanese people were full of joy and hope that the Nikkei index would break through 40,000 points on this day, the Nikkei index fell by 20 points within less than an hour of opening.
But the vast majority of Japanese people still believe that this is just a small shock adjustment and will not affect the overall market trend.
Until two months later, the Nikkei index had fallen below 38,000 points, and some stockholders with a keen sense of smell realized that something seemed to be wrong.
But they would never have thought that a disaster was quietly approaching.
Qin Hao did not stay in Japan any longer. He took a flight back to Shanghai as early as the end of January. The collapse of the Japanese stock market would continue until the end of 1990. During this period, he only needed to lie down and make money without any operation.
On January 23, 1990, three days later, it was the Lunar New Year's Eve. Many families on both sides of the streets in Shanghai had hung red lanterns and posted Spring Festival couplets.
As soon as Qin Hao arrived at the door of his house, he saw A Bao and Tao Tao busy at the door.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to steal something?"
A loud shout scared Tao Tao so much that he almost fell off the table. When he was still in shock and wanted to find the culprit to settle the account, he turned around and found that it was Qin Hao, and he immediately jumped off the table.
"You kid, we worked so hard to paste Spring Festival couplets for you, but you didn't help me and even threatened me."
This time, Abao also stood on Taotao's side and denounced Qin Hao: "That's right, you have no conscience. And you didn't tell us in advance that you were coming back. We thought you were lost in the colorful world of Japan."
Faced with the siege of the two, Qin Hao had to beg for mercy: "Okay, I'm wrong. I'll treat you later, okay?"
"That's better!"
After a burst of laughter, Abao and Taotao helped Qin Hao carry the luggage into the old house.
"Ahao, what did you bring? It's so heavy?" Taotao exhaled white air and lay down on the chair as soon as he put down the luggage.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "Why don't you say that you neglected exercise and your body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex."
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I haven't been to Golden Phoenix for a long time. If you don't believe me, ask Abao." Taotao defended.
A Bao patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Well, I can prove this. Tao Tao has not been to Golden Phoenix for two weeks."
"Hey, what two weeks? It's clearly two weeks and three days."
Qin Hao shook his head. With Tao Tao's financial resources, it is not difficult to find a young and beautiful girl, but he just can't get past the young woman.
"How are Fang Mei and Dou Dou?"
Tao Tao looked depressed when he mentioned Fang Mei: "Don't mention it. Now the child is less than two years old, and she said that she felt that one child was too lonely and wanted to have another one. She forced me to have a child with her all day long. Family planning, how can we have a child?"
"Don't talk about family planning. It's just a fine. You can't afford it?" Qin Hao sneered.
Taotao sighed: "Alas, Ahao, I really regret not listening to you. If I had known, I would not have gotten married so early. Look how good you two are, free and unrestrained, unlike me, who is always disliked when I go home late every night."
"You deserve it. What were you doing earlier?"
Abao rolled his eyes at Taotao unhappily: "Don't be so ungrateful."
In fact, Abao really wanted to change with Taotao. He never wanted to be a boss. He just wanted to start a family with Xuezhi, have children, and live a plain and happy life.
Qin Hao also saw that Abao was in a low mood, so he changed the subject: "Let's go, I'm hungry too, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Let's make a deal first, I'll choose the place."
"You choose, it must be Golden Phoenix."
Even though it was close to New Year's Eve, business on Huanghe Road was not affected at all. On the contrary, as people's incomes increased, more people held banquets outside to eat New Year's Eve dinners.
At the entrance of Jin Meilin, Lu Meilin stood with her hands on her hips directing employees to hang lanterns.
"It's Chinese New Year, so we have to look like it's Chinese New Year, and be festive. If we hang up these two big red lanterns, won't we have the atmosphere of Chinese New Year?"
Boss Jin on the side agreed with a flattering look on his face: "That's right, if our restaurant hangs these two red lanterns, the business will definitely be more and more prosperous next year."
Lu Meilin glanced at him: "You talked so nicely today, how much did you lose?"
"Oh, look at what you said"
Before Boss Jin finished speaking, he was pushed aside by Lu Meilin, and then stared at a car slowly approaching at the intersection of Huanghe Road. When he saw the person getting off the car, he immediately went to meet him. His movements were so agile that it was simply impossible for her body size to do it.
Boss Jin stamped his feet in anger: "Hey, I'm your husband, what are you doing?"
"I want to see who makes you so attentive, is it that prisoner who came again!"
The manager on the side whispered: "Boss Jin is not what you think, this is our Jin Meilin's distinguished guest, if he comes to eat more meals, our business will at least double."
"Who is so awesome?" Boss Jin obviously didn't believe it.
"Boss, you just came to Shanghai, don't you know, this Mr. Qin is a celebrity in Shanghai, you know Vientiane Plaza, it was opened by him."
Boss Jin couldn't help but smack his lips when he heard it: "Oh, so awesome, which of the three is Mr. Qin, they all look quite young."
"It's the one talking to the boss lady."
Following the manager's hand, Boss Jin finally locked onto Qin Hao, but the next second he saw Lu Meilin turn around and walk back angrily.
"Why don't you invite Mr. Qin to come in and sit down, he has such a big business, I can ask him for advice." Boss Jin chased after him tactlessly.
The manager held his forehead with his hands. This guy is really arrogant. There are so many bosses in Shanghai. How many of them can hardly talk to Qin Hao? Why do you ask for advice?
"Jin Fenghuang, that bitch, you wait!"
Lu Meilin could no longer suppress her temper when she returned to the office. She smashed a set of teacups to pieces.
Boss Jin stood at the door in silence. Although Lu Meilin usually had a bad temper, she rarely smashed things because she couldn't bear to do it. Once she started smashing things, she would be furious. It's better to avoid provoking him and run away quickly.
Lu Meilin looked at the back of Boss Jin who fled in disgrace and became even more angry: "Waste, can't help at all!"
On the other side, the news that Qin Hao and his three companions went to Jin Fenghuang for dinner quickly spread on Huanghe Road. In less than half an hour, all the private rooms of Jin Fenghuang were booked. Jin Fenghuang laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close.
