Riyu's Back File 2011

Suddenly the plane fluctuated, and the champagne in Miyazaki Sosuke's hand spilled out and splashed onto the passengers on the side.Annoyed, Miyazaki Sosuke put down the champagne in his hand and moved his eyes from the window to the passenger beside him.

From bottom to top, the slender calf wrapped in flesh-colored silk stockings is greeted first. The straight and slender legs lean side by side to the aisle, and at the foot is a pair of Dior's latest black high-heeled sandals.

Moving her gaze upward, the woman wore a shoulder-length white half-sleeved lace jacket, and her knees were covered with a standard blue ladies skirt.Wearing a pair of Lindbergh rimless glasses, his beautiful appearance attracted the eyes of the men in the first class cabin from time to time. The woman was wiping the champagne on the skirt with the towel handed by the stewardess.

"Why don't I come?" Miyazaki Cangsuke said with a smile, but he crossed his arms, and he didn't mean to come at all.

Hill White glanced at Miyazaki Cangsuke, then wiped his skirt to himself, his long golden hair slipping from his shoulders.She is the assistant that Peter Johnson arranged for Miyazaki Sosuke, one-on-one.She graduated from Cornell University with a master's degree in finance. When she graduated in 2008, it was during the financial crisis. Goldman Sachs, like several major investment banks, drastically reduced the number of new recruits.Hill stood out from the 200,000 resumes with his excellent appearance and rich resume, and he grew rapidly during the one-year internship period. He squeezed into Goldman Sachs New York to become a junior analyst.Before coming, I was an analyst under Peter for the last year, and I was about to be promoted to Associate.

This time she accompanies Miyazaki Sosuke back to Tokyo. First, Peter hopes to use her to firmly grasp the golden tree of Miyazaki Sosuke, and the other is to arrange an assistant for Miyazaki Sosuke as a bridge between the two. .Her job was transferred to Goldman Sachs Tokyo accordingly.

Hill was not surprised by this arrangement.Although I was an analyst in the previous position, I have been working in the financial circle for several years, and I have known that one day I will sink because of money. I just didn't encounter a suitable price before.She is not a strong-willed person, otherwise she would not enter the financial circle. She has long chosen the academic path to become a university teacher and other professions.

Relying on beauty circles to hold customers down is not news on Wall Street for a long time. Beauty and body are the most advantageous weapons for women.Getting involved with big shots and getting enough inside information is always the fastest way for newcomers to get the first pot of gold in the circle, or even their entire wealth.Before coming, Hill's salary was 24K US dollars per month, which is the average salary of a third-year analyst.And now, her annual salary is between 500,000 and 700,000 US dollars, depending on the fluctuation of the year-end bonus.

She was born in a middle-class family in Virginia, and naturally has no connections and capital to help her get ahead in the financial industry.Her first business colleague in the same period was negotiated with a helicopter to pick up a customer to a country manor, and her first customer was a college senior who had a light meal in a bar on the street, how many of them were there It was because of peeping at her face and figure that she decided to come to the meeting, Hill thought she knew from her hips.

Since then, Hill has had a sense of sacrifice.She thought that maybe it was a suggestion from her boss when she was promoted, or a big client in a party went crazy after being drunk, and even when Peter Johnson asked her to go to Aikens, she thought it was the old man who was going to act on herself.But in the end she still did not expect that she would actually accompany an overly young Asian back to Tokyo, and her salary and rank have also jumped to the vice president level (Vicepresident, a level in investment banking, middle level, and senior vice presidents, Executive director, managing director, partner, senior partner level five).

God really cares for himself.This was Hill's first thought after hearing Peter's request.You can spend a good night with a gray-haired old man for more than ten minutes without relying on the harsh Viagra. There are no major clients who want to play any abuse taboo games on a whim. Just simply go to Tokyo and lock up a young handsome guy and get promoted. Even Peter hinted that if she did a good job, she would still be on the promotion list after three years. This is a pie in the sky.As for why she chose her, because Goldman Sachs has a lot of beautiful employees, and there are many employees who are willing to contribute, but Hill should be the most suitable female employee who is beautiful and understands Japanese and is willing to contribute.Although Miyazaki Sosuke is fluent in English, this kind of selection is like a beauty pageant. It is not qualified but the best.

Although his previous life Miyazaki Sosuke also worked in New York, he was either waiting for a plane at the airport or on the way to catch a plane at the airport, so there was no time to visit the Big Apple.So Hill served as an excellent escort in the following week. Judging from the market in New York, considering the degree of Cornell's Master's degree and the bonus of Goldman Sachs, it should be worth three to five thousand dollars a day. Kind.

Hill accompanies Miyazaki Sosuke around New York during the day, and chats with Miyazaki Sosuke at the Waldorf Astoria in the evening, so that Miyazaki Sosuke is so happy that he is almost like Li Kui who rushes to Tokyo at night, yelling " Brother, Sajia is so happy."

"How about Kinder Morgan's plan?" After the plane stabilized again, Miyazaki asked Hill to ask the stewardess to pour him another glass of champagne.

“It’s almost done. It’s calculated based on the principal of 10 million. If it goes well, use twice the leverage to buy. If the acquisition news is true, the profit margin should be able to exceed 100%. Just wait for the later funds to arrive. The account can be implemented at any time.” Hill knocked on the Apple notebook in his hand, called out a file and looked at it roughly, saying to Miyazaki Cangsuke.The look of Hill in his professional attire who was working hard made Miyazaki Aosuke's heartbeat. He quietly stretched his left hand over the armrest of the seat and rubbed it on the blue work skirt. Sometimes his hand was too strong and it would make it arouse hope. You charming eyes.

"That's good, after the settlement of the No. 23 Merrill Lynch contract, all the funds will be invested in this project." Miyazaki Cangsuke was satisfied after hearing this.Although Hill liked Miyazaki Sosuke very much in all aspects, but at the same time he liked it, his work ability was good enough to make Miyazaki Sosuke more satisfied.Peter arranged for Hill to woo him, but Miyazaki didn't care at all.He knows Hill’s mentality very well. As long as he can let Hill see that the benefits of getting closer to him are far higher than those of surrendering to Peter Johnson, Hill will definitely be his most loyal believer.

"I don't mind if you do it too. I didn't buy a gift for you in New York during this period. How much money can you raise? As long as you don't have an impression of the implementation of the project plan, you can do it together. Of course, if you dare!" Cang Ji gave Hill a meaningful look, then raised his head and drank the champagne in his hand.

"Mr. Mike, don't worry, my work ability and professionalism are also top-notch at Goldman Sachs." Hill didn't care about Miyazaki's mocking him. Although he was able to get a chance with Zhuang, who knew Miyazaki's The source is correct.Traders who jump off the building every year because of error messages can line up from Fifth Avenue to the seaside of Manhattan Island.This time she just wanted to try her luck while finishing the work.

Miyazaki Sosuke asked Hill to produce an operation plan for the acquisition of the natural gas pipeline company El Paso by the Houston-based U.S. oil and gas pipeline company KinderMorgan Inc., which is more than two hundred. Not only is the premium for the acquisition of 100 million yuan extremely high, more than 50%, but also large enough to easily accommodate more than 10 million shares without any splashes.

The current M&A consultant of Kinder Morgan is the Merrill Lynch Investment Banking Department. This project was handled by Aosuke Miyazaki in the previous life. In the previous life, he received a year-end award of more than half a million US dollars for this project. He is only a middle-level executive director, but the working group of this M&A project is his group, so he knows the inside information of this M&A transaction.

Although he was not sure when the news was announced due to the rebirth, according to the situation, it should be within a few months, so he asked Hill to make an operation plan of about 10 million yuan and let her be responsible for the operation. , The personnel find themselves, whether they find acquaintances from Goldman Sachs or hire outside, the five points of the total profit are used as Hill’s bonus.

Although he didn't care about it, Hill was still very concerned about this unexpected windfall. Working for capital is always more rewarding than working for capitalists.I used to work for Goldman Sachs, a year of hard work, plus the year-end bonus to get 300,000 yuan is a very generous salary.But if the news is accurate and can be operated well, with the initial capital of 10 million, the plan that will be launched next week will bring Miyazaki Aosuke 10 million in income, and at the same time Hill will bring The income of more than 500,000 yuan, although the funds will not be able to be cashed until the stocks are sold at the end of the second half of the year to avoid SEC investigations.

After the plane landed, Miyazaki asked Hill to report to Goldman Sachs in Tokyo, and would contact her after the meeting when he had something to do.And asked her to send herself an email regularly every week to report on progress, and by the way, help herself to make an appointment with SVB's Sugimoto and Ma, and she needs help from the other party for her later plans in Tokyo.

To Miyazaki's surprise, Goldman Sachs took him very seriously. Before he left the airport, Sugimoto and Ma called his cell phone and asked him to meet tomorrow afternoon.Miyazaki Sosuke agreed and said a place for Sugimoto and Ma to find him there tomorrow afternoon.

######

Ebisu, Shibuya District, Tokyo.

In Joel Robuchon restaurant, Sugimoto and Ma put on a black suit jacket on their hands, and walked in from the door side by side with Miyazaki Sosuke.There were already several well-dressed staff waiting in the hall. When they saw the two entering the house, one of them greeted with a registration book, smiled and welcomed, and took the coats of the two to the cloakroom.Immediately after another staff member made a please gesture and guided them upstairs to have a meal, the two of them stepped up the elevator, and they came to the restaurant on the second floor while laughing and chatting.

Joel Robuchon restaurant is another famous Michelin three-star French restaurant in RB, and another Quintessence French restaurant in Shinagawa district. Miyazaki Aosuke has taken Sasaki Nozomi to taste it before. So when Sugimoto and Mayo met him, he I thought of this for the first time.It is worth mentioning that in the late-night drama "Tokyo Women's Guide", the heroine stood in front of the JoelRobuchon restaurant in Ebisu and said to herself that everyone who can date JoelRobuchon before the age of 30 is a good woman.With this in mind, Miyazaki Cangsuke should also consider customizing this place as a fixed date place. After all, there are so many good women waiting for him.

Not long after they were seated, the foreman of the restaurant hurriedly greeted them with a friendly and warm smile, with skill and hidden reservedness, greeted them in English, and greeted the waiter with a glass of champagne as a pre-dinner aperitif.

After the two of Miyazaki Sosuke finished ordering, they kept chatting.Sugimoto and Ma are the principals of SVB Investments in RB, and the largest shareholder of SVB Investments is Goldman Sachs, one of the many investment companies that Peter Johnson is responsible for.Sugimoto and Ma are also the same as the previous life Miyazaki Sosuke. The typical overseas students went to the United States to study after graduating from top RB colleges and then went to work in investment banking, so there are still many topics that can be discussed between the two.

The two talked about the difference in life between the United States and RB to the recent announcement of RB Airlines’ re-listing. They lamented that Kazuo Inamori was indeed the god of business, and he forced the bankrupt company of RB Airlines from hell. Pull back to the world.

RB Airlines is the largest airline in Asia and the third largest in the world. However, due to previous poor operations, it has become insolvent.In January last year, after the then Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama stated that he refused to use taxpayers' money to save JAL, the struggling RB Airlines finally had no choice but to apply for bankruptcy protection and reorganization to seek rebirth.At the time of bankruptcy, JAL and its subsidiaries had a total debt of approximately US$25.65 billion.

Seeing that RB Aviation, the proud giant ship of the former Yamato nation, sinks little by little, in this crisis, Prime Minister Hatoyama accepted the proposal of the Secretary-General of the Democratic Party Ozawa Ichiro and invited Kazuo Inamori out of the mountain.

On January 13th of last year, Kazuo Inamori, under repeated pleadings from the RB government, came out of the mountain to take over the hot potato of JAL, without taking a penny.It only took a year to turn JAL’s profit from negative 200 billion yen to positive 200 billion yen, and JAL will also relist next month.

"I have said so much, Sugimoto-san, this time I asked me out, what do you want to tell me?" Miyazaki Cangsuke saw that the 18 dishes were served and the dinner came to an end, so he decided to speak first.

"Oh? No, it's just that Mr. Peter told me that Miyazaki-san wanted to deal with Governor Ishihara, and I was very interested in that." Sugimoto and Ma wiped their mouths and said slowly.

"That's a coincidence." Miyazaki Cangsuke was not surprised at all. Ishihara's enemies are all over the world and it is RB's public secret.For example, the current governor of Miyazaki Prefecture Hideo Tokunihara was originally an apprentice of Takeshi Kitano, and was later elected as the governor of Miyazaki Prefecture as a famous artist. In the first half of this year, he ran for the governor of Tokyo, losing to Ishihara. What he hates most is Shintaro Ishihara, after being elected as a member of the Diet, also verbally demeaning Ishihara.With Ishihara's kind of show-loving character, there are so many people who can't understand him.It's just that there is no economic barrier, so everyone did not personally end up against Ishihara.

"Why, Mr. Miyazaki has a plan?" Sugimoto and Ma saw Miyazaki Sosuke's indifferent appearance, but they became interested.

"That's right." Miyazaki Cangsuke smiled and replied lightly."I just have a preliminary idea. As for the specific content, I haven't considered it clearly yet."

"Oh, what's the idea?" Sugimoto and Ma immediately became interested, and she asked curiously, "Can you talk to someone I see?"

"Now?" Of course Miyazaki Chosuke didn't want to talk about this topic, and this plan must be kept secret.

"I'm sorry, I would take the liberty." Sugimoto and Ma quickly realized that the question of worth is a bit unexpected. After all, if the secret is known by too many people, it is not a secret.What's more, this was only the first time the two met, and Miyazaki didn't trust him too much.

"I'm just curious about what method you will use to deal with Governor Ishihara. You know, Governor Ishihara is still a strong elephant." Sugimoto and Ma said something.

Seeing that the topic couldn't go deep, Sugimoto and Ma smiled restrainedly and stopped talking.It didn't take long for the two of them to finish eating. After Sugimoto and Ma settled their bills, they walked to the elevator to leave.Along the carpeted corridor, the two walked all the way to the elevator door. Although they kept talking, Sugimoto and Ma frowned, showing their inner thoughts.

"I see, is it Nomura?" Just as the two of them walked all the way to the gate, Sugimoto and Ma had a meal and reached out to hold the coat passed by the waiter. The whole figure, like a galloping sports car, suddenly stopped and turned around. Excited luck said to Sosuke Miyazaki behind him, "Are you going to deal with Nomura Securities?"

Shintaro Ishihara, as a weird seedling in the Liberal Democratic Party, a pure populist, loves to show, and has enemies everywhere.As the enemy, the Democratic Party has issued a slogan two years ago to promote the "anti-Liberal Democratic Party", but it was reduced to "anti-Ishihara" in Tokyo. With this, it achieved the first change of power after World War II and succeeded in becoming the Liberal Democratic Party. ruling party.In the Liberal Democratic Party, it is even more unbearable for radical populists like Ishihara and the legacy of Takeshita Toshita.As the Minister of Transportation, Ishihara, who was led by Takeshita at the beginning, was able to walk all the way to the present after Takeshita fell, relying on two weapons.They were supported by Hiroshi Shimizu, president of the Central Bank of Tokyo, and Kenichi Watanabe, CEO of Nomura Securities, and both of them sent political contributions to the Ishihara family through the channel of the East Asia Economic Research Association.Although Shimizu Yu did not publicly resign and apologize due to the loan fraud scandal some time ago, he was given up by the board of directors because of the loss of such a large amount of funds. He will retire after the end of the year and is now semi-retired.So now Governor Ishihara’s greatest assistance is only Kenichi Watanabe of Nomura Securities.

But the reason why Sugimoto and Ma are still surprised is that the fellow Nomura Securities is indeed an out-and-out behemoth.Nomura Securities, established in 1925, is the largest brokerage firm in RB. Its stock and bond assets under management exceed 14 trillion yen, equivalent to nearly 180 billion U.S. dollars. The company's net profit is also close to 200 billion yen.

The reason why Nomura Securities is not as big as a comprehensive financial group such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the world is not because it is not large enough and funds are not enough, but because his business is too concentrated in RB. .Although Nomura has businesses and branches in 28 regions around the world, its total foreign business volume is really not worth mentioning compared to domestic business.Except for the London branch, which has a slight weight, the Americas rapidly expanded after the acquisition of the bankrupt Lehman Brothers investment banking business due to the 2008 financial crisis. The other 26 are all traditional exiles. Only those who failed in the domestic political struggle of Nomura Securities RB , Will be dispatched to these places.

Miyazaki wants to deal with the CEO of such a securities company, no wonder Sugimoto and Ma are so surprised at his thoughts from ear to ear.After all, even when Yasuo Fukuda was still prime minister, it was very difficult to push Nomura Securities to replace the CEO.The relationship between Nomura Securities and the Liberal Democratic Party has always been very good, and it has always been one of the main sources of Liberal Democratic Party election donations. Of course, part of it will be inclined to Ishihara Shintaro because of Watanabe's relationship.

But Nomura Securities is not absolutely invincible.In the era of the RB bubble economy, Nomura Securities suffered heavy losses, which has caused the successive leaders of Nomura Securities to maintain a cautious attitude since then and rarely participate in large-scale mergers and acquisitions and projects.The acquisition of Lehman Brothers' investment banking business in 2008 has been Nomura's larger acquisition business in the past two decades. This is due to Nomura's need for American business to expand the market.

Therefore, whether it is Wall Street financial predators such as Goldman Sachs or some competitors in RB, it is not easy to deal with Nomura Securities.

However, this time Miyazaki Sosuke chose to attack Nomura Securities because the situation has changed drastically.With the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, the economic growth of Western countries began to slow down, especially the financial sector ushered in a recession. Nomura Securities’ chairman Nobuyuki Koga and CEO Kenichi Watanabe both developed ambitions. This was also when Nomura Securities was acquiring After Lehman's investment banking business, it successively acquired four medium-sized investment banks and invaded Wall Street, causing the number of employees in Nomura's North American branch to double from 1,600 to more than 3,000 in three years. .

Now Nomura North America has not only frequently confronted Goldman Sachs on the European debt market, but also competed with Deutsche Bank for investment banking business in the United States. Not to mention, even Barclays Bank has encountered unpleasant competition from Nomura Securities.

Because Nomura Securities has been cautious in its operations in the previous two decades, coupled with the fact that Nomura also owns huge properties in RB, Nomura can make amazing profits every year from the property fees. Therefore, it not only suffered from the subprime mortgage crisis. Small shocks have also made big shots, so that traditional Wall Street giants such as Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch have lost money in front of Nomura.That's why Sugimoto Kazuma, who belongs to the Goldman Sachs system, was surprised by Miyazaki Sosuke's thoughts. In his eyes, even Goldman Sachs suffered a loss in Nomura's hands. How could Miyazaki Sosuke do it?

######

In a private room of the Aikens Club in New York, Peter Johnson was leaning against the card table, looking a little drowsy.There are also four people at the same table, namely Goldman Sachs CEO Royd Blackfin, Goldman Sachs Asset Management Chairman Jim O'Neill, Goldman Sachs Global Director of Human Capital Management Lloyd Blackfin, and Goldman Sachs Investment Banking Director John Venneberg.They and the other seven members of the Goldman Sachs Group are collectively called Goldman Sachs 12 Arhats by the outside world.

The game played by five people was Texas Hold'em. There was no cash on the table, only a large pile of chips placed in front of everyone.The game lasted for more than half an hour. Judging from the number of chips, it was obvious that Blackfin won.This old man is just like what the outside world said and commented. He has a temperament like a child, and his habit in the game is to mock his opponent if he wins, and be a rascal if he loses.And tonight, his luck seems to be good. This old guy, worth hundreds of millions, is taking advantage of other people's shuffling, counting the chips he won in front of him with joy, and from time to time he still spits aromas and taunts Peter, who has lost the most. Johnson.

If you weren't familiar with everyone in Blackfin and the party, just seeing the colorful expressions on his face would definitely think that he was killing him in Las Vegas, with tens of millions in his pocket.But the bottom of this card game is only one hundred dollars. The reason why it is set at one hundred dollars is because one hundred dollars is the largest denomination among the US dollars, so it is easy to point out.Even if Blackfin was lucky enough to kill the other four people overnight, he could only earn tens of thousands of dollars. When he stepped into the gate of Goldman Sachs tomorrow morning, his daily fixed salary would be more than that.

The significance of this game is not for gambling, or not for gambling. After all, it doesn't matter how much you win or lose. The most important thing is that everyone here does not want to lose.Practitioners in the financial world are similar to gamblers, and no one wants to lose.

This card game is more often for several senior people to communicate with each other privately, because the membership of the card game is not fixed, and sometimes outsiders are invited, such as the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, who are regular guests of the Aikens Club. , It just happened to be these few people today.
