Chapter 28 The last madness before the bubble bursts
After Mr. A left, Liu Sen came out of the side room and asked with some doubts: "Do you still need to hand over the funds to others for management?"
In Liu Sen's view, Qin Hao's stock trading ability can almost be described as a "stock god". Liu Luanxiong is known as a stock market sniper. He dominates the Hong Kong stock market and makes the Li family, one of the four major families, disgraced. However, he is still in 1987
In the stock market crash that year, we suffered heavy losses.
However, Qin Hao took advantage of the 1987 stock market crash and made hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits. So far, Qin Hao has never made a mistake.
How could such a person need others to help him make money?
Qin Hao smiled calmly and poured Liu Sen a glass of wine.
"Recently, my main focus has been on Japan. The mainland's financial market is different from that of the world. I don't have the extra energy to study the operating rules of the mainland's financial market. This person named An happens to have a professional team. Through them,
With the operating procedures, I can understand the rules of the mainland financial market in the shortest possible time.”
"For this, I only need to pay a mere 5% handling fee. This transaction 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 Guomao Building in front of him, a gleam flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. The purpose of his layout two years in advance was naturally not that simple.
Half a month later, the groundbreaking ceremonies of Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket were held one after another. Under the strong suggestion of Director Zhang, Qin Hao invited several celebrities from Hong Kong to help out. Director Zhang also invited several leaders
All the major media in Shenzhen also came to the platform specifically, and the scene was very lively.
In mid-September, after the groundbreaking ceremony, Qin Hao handed over all the projects of Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket to Liu Sen, and boarded a flight to Japan alone.
Since the signing of the Plaza Accord in 1985, the yen has experienced four years of appreciation. According to basic economic theory, the impact of currency appreciation should be negative because it will cause the competitiveness of export products to decrease.
For a country like Japan that relies heavily on exports, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow.
But the strange thing is that in the four years after the Plaza Accord was signed, Japan's economy not only did not suffer a blow, but instead showed extreme prosperity.
In particular, the Japanese stock market and property market have experienced a very strange boom in the past 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.
Increased by more than 150% in four years
The real estate market in Japan is also very crazy. In 1985, house prices in Tokyo were about 1.5 million yen per square meter, but by 1989, they had soared to 8 million yen per square meter.
A piece of land in Ginza, Tokyo, was auctioned for US$970,000 per square meter, making it the most expensive place in the world.
Even an inch of land and an inch of money are not enough to describe the Japanese property market. It can only be described as crazy.
Not only the stock market and property market, but the entire Japanese society is in a kind of "paradise" madness at this time.
This can be seen from the popularity of nightclubs in Japan. Almost every night after six o'clock, all nightclubs are full. Without a certain social status, it is impossible to book a private room.
As soon as the neon lights start to flash at night, there will inevitably be a large number of taxis at the door of the nightclub, because these customers who come to the nightclub tend to spend a lot of money, and the tips they get from taking orders here are sometimes more than their usual daily income.
high.
The concept of "a total of 100 million people" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Japanese people's confidence 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 more than once Japanese customers tip the waiters generously, often as much as 100,000 yen, which is almost a thousand US dollars.
So when Qin Hao took out a ten-dollar tip and handed it to the waiter, the waiter even said thank you in a stiff tone.
At Tokyo Citibank, Qin Hao had previously converted the US$15 million he had withdrawn from the Hong Kong stock market into 1.8 billion yen and invested it in the Tokyo stock market. In just two months, Qin Hao had earned 100 million yen in income.
.
"Mr. Qin, are you sure you want to apply for five times leverage?" the stock broker reminded kindly.
Qin Hao asked: "What? Am I not qualified enough?"
"Of course not. Mr. Qin is a VIP of our Citibank. I will apply for you right away."
Soon, the stock broker came back and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I have applied for five times the leverage for you."
"Okay, buy all the Nikkei for me."
"No problem, Mr. Qin, do you want to buy up or down?"
"rise!"
“A very smart choice.”
Looking at the proud and proud smile on the stockbroker's face, Qin Hao sneered in his heart, let's see how long you can laugh.
In the next two months, the Nikkei Index continued to rise rapidly, with no sign of a collapse. On the contrary, the Japanese stock market became more and more popular. Many Japanese who did not have the habit of stock trading listened to the news every day.
Talking to colleagues, relatives and friends around me about how much money I had made, I also joined the stock market one after another.
In fact, it's no wonder that Japanese stock investors are so crazy. Many Japanese people's salary for a month of hard work is not worth the profit of one day of stock trading. Over time, their mentality will inevitably become 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.
At this point, stocks actually have something in common with gambling.
The madness of the Japanese people was also directly reflected in the Nikkei Index. From 29,000 points in mid-September, the Nikkei Index had exceeded 37,000 points in mid-November.
On this day, Qin Hao saw a piece of news on TV. The Bank of Japan adjusted the loan interest rate for the fourth time, from the original 4.5% to 5.2%.
"Hey, sell all the Nikkei Index contracts currently in my account, and buy Nikkei Index falling contracts with five times leverage."
Qin Hao knew that the Bank of Japan would soon raise its loan interest rate for the fifth time, which would trigger a series of economic effects.
If you don't run now, you won't be able to escape later.
The stock broker thought he had heard wrongly, so he confirmed it again. It was not until Qin Hao roared in an extremely serious tone that the other party came back to his senses.
"Humph, I actually chose to go short at this time and still have five times the leverage. I don't know how I will die by then!"
The stock broker has absolute confidence in the Japanese stock market, and there are many Japanese people like him. Until December 31, 1989, the Japanese stock market was prosperous, and it even showed signs of breaking through the 40,000-point mark.
.
However, when the time came on New Year's Day in 1990, just when the Japanese people were full of joyful hopes that the Nikkei Index would break through 40,000 points on this day, within an hour of the opening, the Nikkei Index fell by 20 points.
However, the vast majority of Japanese people still believe that this is just a small shock adjustment and will not affect the overall market trend.
It was not until two months later that the Nikkei Index fell below 38,000 points, and some investors with a keen sense of smell realized that something was not quite right.
But they would never have thought that a disaster was quietly approaching.
Qin Hao did not stay in Japan. He took a flight back to Shanghai as early as the end of January. The collapse of the Japanese stock market would last until the end of 1990. During this period, he only needed to lie down and make money. He did not need anything at all.
operate.
On January 23, 1990, it was Lunar New Year's Eve in three days. Many families on both sides of the streets in Shanghai had already hung up red lanterns and pasted Spring Festival couplets.
As soon as Qin Hao arrived at the door of his house, he saw Abao and Tao Tao busy at the door.
"What are you doing? Do you want to steal something?"
A loud shout made Tao Tao almost fall off the table in fright. When he was so shocked that he wanted to find the culprit to settle the score, he turned around and found that it was Qin Hao, who immediately jumped down from the table.
"You kid, we worked so hard to put up Spring Festival couplets for you. It's better for you to just forget about it if you don't help, and you're still trying to scare me."
This time Abao also sided with Tao Tao and denounced Qin Hao: "It's just that you have no conscience. Also, you didn't say anything in advance when you came back. We thought you were lost in the colorful world of Japan."
Faced with the siege of the two men, Qin Hao had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Okay, I'm wrong, I'll treat you later, okay?"
"That's pretty much it!"
After a while of laughter, Abao and Tao Tao helped Qin Hao carry his luggage into the old bungalow.
"Ah Hao, what did you bring that's so heavy?" Tao Tao breathed out 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 to exercise and your body was exhausted by drinking and sex."
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I haven't been to Golden Phoenix for a long time. If you don't believe me, just ask A Bao." Tao Tao defended.
Abao patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Well, I can prove this. Taotao has indeed not been to Golden Phoenix for two weeks."
"Hey, what two weeks? It's obviously two weeks and three days."
Qin Hao shook his head for a while. With Tao Tao's financial resources, it was really not difficult to find a young and beautiful girl, but he just couldn't get past the young woman.
"How are Fangmei and Doudou?"
Mentioning Fangmei, Tao Tao looked depressed: "Don't mention it. The child is less than two years old now. She said she felt that having a child was too lonely and she wanted to have another one. She forced me to have a child with her all day long. It's family planning.
How to give birth?"
"If you stop talking about family planning, isn't it just a fine that you won't be able to pay?" Qin Hao sneered.
Tao Tao let out a long sigh: "Oh, Ah Hao, I really regret that I didn't listen to you. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten married so early. Look at how good you two are, carefree and carefree. You can be as cool and unrestrained as you want, no?"
Like me, if I go home late every night, I will be disliked."
"You deserve it. Why did you go there earlier?"
Abao rolled his eyes at Tao Tao angrily: "Why don't you know how blessed you are when you are surrounded by blessings..."
In fact, Abao really wanted to change with Tao Tao. He never wanted to be Mr. Bao. He just wanted to start a family with Xuezhi, have children, and live an ordinary and happy life.
Qin Hao also noticed that Abao was depressed, so he changed the subject: "Let's go, I'm hungry too, and I'll treat you to a meal."
"Let's talk about it first, I'll choose the place."
"You choose, it must be the Golden Phoenix."
On Huanghe Road, even though New Year's Eve is approaching, business has not been affected at all. On the contrary, as people's incomes have become higher and higher, more and more people are holding banquets and having New Year's dinners outside.
At the door of Jin Meilin, Lu Meilin stood with her hands on her hips and directed the employees to hang lanterns.
"This Chinese New Year has to look like a Chinese New Year and be festive. When these two red lanterns are hung up, will there be a Chinese New Year atmosphere?"
Boss Jin on the side agreed with a flattering look on his face: "Isn't that right? If our hotel hangs these two red lanterns, the business will definitely become more and more prosperous in the coming year."
Lu Meilin glanced at him: "You talked so nicely today, how much did you lose?"
"Oh, look what you are saying..."
Before Boss Jin could finish speaking, he was pulled aside by Lu Meilin, and then he looked straight at a car slowly approaching at the intersection of Huanghe Road. When he saw the person getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him.
Her movements are so nimble that her body type can't do it.
Boss Jin was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Hey, I'm your husband, what are you doing?"
"I want to see who makes you so diligent. Is that prisoner in labor camp here again?"
The manager on the side quickly whispered: "Boss Jin is not who you think. This is our distinguished guest Jin Meilin. If he comes to our place for 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, but you don't know that Mr. Qin is a celebrity in Shanghai. You know that he opened the Vientiane Plaza."
Boss Jin couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard this: "Oh, that's so awesome. Which of those three is Mr. Qin? They all look quite young."
"That's the one who talks to the landlady."
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? His business is so big, so I can ask him for advice." Boss Jin chased after him without realizing it.
The manager raised his forehead and said, "This person's tone is really loud. There are so many bosses in Shanghai, how many of them have difficulty speaking to Qin Hao, and why are they asking for advice?"
"That bitch Jin Fenghuang, just wait for me!"
When Lu Meilin returned to the office, she could no longer suppress her temper and smashed a set of tea cups to pieces.
Boss Jin stood silent at the door. Although Lu Meilin usually has a bad temper, she rarely breaks things because she can't bear to do it. Once she starts breaking things, she will become extremely angry. It's better to avoid provoking him as little as possible and run away quickly.
Lu Meilin looked at the back of Boss Jin who fled in despair, and became even more angry: "Trash, you can't help at all!"
On the other side, the news that Qin Hao and his party went to Jinfenghuang for dinner quickly spread on Huanghe Road. In less than half an hour, all the boxes in Jinfenghuang were booked, making Jinfenghuang smile so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
