Chapter 10 Going Short

Have you ever seen a fourteen-year bear market? Rare! However, it did exist, and it happened in Japan. This bear market lasted from 1990 to 2003. Shakhru had studied finance and accounting in his previous life. Naturally, he could not know about such a big event. In fact, he still had a little regret. If he could wear it a year earlier, he would have caught up with the time of Taiwan's major stock market crash in early 1990, which would have dropped from more than 10,000 to the original fraction...

But even so, Taiwan's stock market crash cannot be compared with Japan. The Nikkei index was only 11,543 points in 1984, but it had soared to 38,915 points in 1989, and then it fell sharply. On April 8, 2003, it fell to 7,607 points, of which 15,000 points fell in one year in 1990. How could Shakelu resist such a major event that is rare in a century? At this time, shorting the Nikkei index is not making money, but grabbing money.

In this year, the Japanese stock market experienced two catastrophic collapses. The first collapse ended on April 2, which fell directly from 38915 to 28002. Then the government rescued the market and the stock market began to recover. The highest rose to 33172. Just when everyone thought that the stock market crash had ended here, another larger stock market crash occurred at the end of July, and it lasted until October 1, which fell directly to 20,000 points, with a drop of 39:1%, known as "Black Monday". (Some colleagues mistakenly thought that it had fallen sharply from October 1, which was known as Black Monday, when they wrote this passage, but in fact it started falling from July 20 to October 1, because October 1 was the bottom, so everyone called this Monday Black Monday.)

After spending nearly a week dealing with Indian affairs, Shakru left for Japan directly. Although he could actually short the Nikkei index when he went to Hong Kong, Shakru felt that it was even more enjoyable to make money from the Japanese territory, so he threw Charles alone in New Delhi's house and came to Tokyo alone.

After a brief settlement, Shakru took a taxi to Nomura Securities Company, which was established in 1925, is now the number one securities company in Japan and even has its own specialized research institution. However, even such a large company was shocked by Shakru's account opening amount of 300,000 US dollars.

This is not to say that Nomura Securities has seen the world so much. Before the stock market crash, the account opening orders worth 300,000 US dollars were not considered large orders in Nomura, but the current form is different. Due to the stock market crash at the beginning of the year, it is too late for ordinary people to get out of trouble. Who dares to rush into the stock market? So let alone a large order worth 300,000, there are not even many people who come to securities companies to open accounts.

For such a large customer, Nomura Securities naturally has to give VIP treatment. In terms of service, we have to admit that the Japanese do almost the best. The VIP room is not only decorated with luxurious facilities and complete facilities, but also specially equipped him with a beautiful agent.

Shakru always thought that although he was lustful, he was definitely not the kind of man who had weak legs when he saw the beauty. But when he saw this beautiful agent, he couldn't help but be stunned. First of all, this beauty was too tall, even if she removed her high heels, she was more than 1.70 meters tall. You should know that even in 2016, the Japanese genes were several times improved, and there were not many tall girls in Japan. More than 1.50 meters were normal. This kind of girl with more than 1.70 meters was definitely rare in 1990.

But this is not the point. The point is the appearance and her name. When Shakru first saw her appearance, he felt very familiar. After hearing her name "Nanako Noguchi", he was completely sure. The only beautiful securities broker in front of him was the later famous Japanese drama queen, Takashi Omachi's wife - Nanako Matsushima!

Although Shakru, who was a Japanese drama expert in his previous life, knew that Matsushima Nako's real name was "Nanako Noguchi", he really didn't know that she had such an experience as a securities broker. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his emotions. After a few simple conversations, he entered the work state and began to arrange for Matsushima Nako to invest all of her 300,000 to short the Nikkei stock index period of 10 million.

Hearing Shakru's request, Nanako Matsuda was startled: "Five million shorting? Mr. Pandit, I heard it right?"

Shakru nodded and said, "That's right, all 15 million are short."

Matsuda Naoko swallowed her saliva, and then said hesitantly: "Mr. Pandit, this is true. Although the stock market suffered a stock market crash that was rare in a century at the beginning of the year, falling from 38,915 points to 23,623 points, now under the government's full efforts to rescue the market, it has been slowly recovering. Although it has not yet recovered to the highest 38,000 points, it has risen to 32,000. Under such circumstances, there will be no major stock market crash again. It is very risky for you to short this way."

Shakru said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. If I didn't make any mistakes in the calculation, the scene at the beginning of the year will be reproduced at the end of this month at the latest, which will be even more terrifying. Even if the government wants to rescue the market, it will be useless. By the way, if you are interested, you might as well invest a little. I believe that the profit will definitely satisfy you."

Matsushima Nanako smiled reluctantly and said, "Sir, you're kidding. If I had money for futures, I wouldn't be so busy for a living, but pursue my own dream."

"Oh, then I wonder what your dream is Miss Noguchi?" Shakru asked knowingly.

Nanako Matsushima looked into the distance and said lightly: "To be honest with Mr. Pandit, I started working as a part-time model when I was in my first year of high school. I like the feeling of being highly anticipated, so my dream is to be a big star that everyone knows about." At this point, she shook her head sadly and continued: "Hey, I also know that this is an unrealistic dream, which really makes you laugh."

"No, I firmly believe that you will become an excellent actor. Now you just don't have a chance!" Shakru said very seriously.

Although Matsuda Nako knew that Shakru was just comforting her, she didn't know why she could clearly feel his sincerity and confidence when she saw the Indian man's serious and affirmative gaze, as if he had seen him appear when he became a big star. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shook her head repeatedly, trying to drive away this absurd idea, and then lowered her head and started to operate according to Shakru's requirements.
