On August 15, after his first day at work, Nakamura took the subway for nearly an hour and arrived at his home in the suburbs of Tokyo. Nakai Ningcun just got married a year ago. His wife's name is Daichuan Miyuki. At school, she majored in Japanese literature. At that time, Ningcun had a pen pal for the second time on the Internet, and she accidentally saw a poem written by Mei Yuezi, which was very touching. So he took the initiative to ask for the contact information of Meiyue, and then sent the first letter. Miyuki later recalled: "When I received Thaksin, I didn't feel much in my heart. In the past few years, I have many pen pals, so I have basically got used to letters from strangers. However, when I opened the letter, I was deeply attracted by his handsome handwriting and beautiful literary talent. Through his beautiful calligraphy, I can imagine what an excellent genius he is. And at that time, liberal arts students, like us, especially appreciated boys in science, engineering and business. I only corresponded for a month and fell in love before I met. "
On this day, as soon as Nakamura got home, his wife had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for her husband to come back. When I got home, I saw five dishes on the dining table. I was just hungry and my heart moved. For Japanese young people in the mid-1980s, the enormous pressure of survival and work made many people in this generation feel that life is very hard. Therefore, it is a blessing for Ningcun to have such a beautiful, gentle and virtuous wife as Miyuki. Two people have a very good relationship, so 1989 marriage passed. After four years of hard work and tempering, Ningcun Zhongci has made small achievements in the company and is also famous in the industry. In the past four years, the husband and wife have increased their income and reduced their expenses, not only doing their main business well, but also taking into account the development of sideline business. In this way, they accumulated a sum of principal. At the end of 1989, a superior of Ningcun Zhongci, because he appreciated Ningcun Zhongci's working ability and personality, began to guide Ningcun Zhongci to enter the futures market with greater risks but higher expected returns.
At the beginning of 1990, Japan's financial industry and real estate industry experienced the first blowout boom in history. Take the real estate industry in Japan as an example. 1February, 990, in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, the median price of a standard 80-square-meter apartment was around 9 million yen. By the end of February and the beginning of March of 1990, it had become about 6.5438+0.45 million yen, an increase of nearly 67% from the previous month. In the face of the outbreak of Japanese real estate industry at that time, as a financial person, Nakamura did not look at this problem too optimistically at first. On the contrary, he is objective and even worried. On the one hand, this outbreak of the financial industry is often a prelude to nightmares. On the other hand, in view of Japan's history, there has never been such a big blowout in the real estate industry. Therefore, Nakamura did not start any new real estate at that time, nor did he start new stocks and futures, and was in a wait-and-see state.
During the one-month period from the beginning of March to the end of March, Nakaji Ningcun secretly made various understandings while observing. First of all, he went to the front line of Japan's real estate industry at that time, that is, buyers and sellers, and a large number of real estate industry salespeople to obtain first-hand information. When he visited a Japanese real estate building named WYNK, he had an in-depth discussion with the sales of this building. According to the sales situation of this real estate, in fact, the outbreak of real estate prices began in 1989, but the explosive force at that time was relatively small. If they are not people who are particularly concerned about this matter, or experts and scholars who are particularly proficient in this field, they often cannot capture this information. However, at that time, there was a saying that the real estate market in Japan was about to revitalize, so they should save money quickly and prepare to invest in real estate.
By 1990 1 month, many ordinary people began to buy real estate. Some people with better economic conditions even bought two or three properties at a time. Ningcun Tadao then asked the sales staff of the property whether there were more professional people in the industry who bought such a large number of properties. The salesman took out a statistical table, and Ningcun found that many people in the financial field had started to buy real estate in large quantities. This time, Ningcun Zhongci began to believe that this should not be a bubble in the real estate market, but a real revitalization of the real estate market. Later, he and his wife discussed it again and decided to invest half of all their savings in the stock market and half in the real estate market. 1990 Around May, all the money that should have been invested in Ningcun was invested. The couple thought, this is about to wait for the benefits.
1990 In June, within one month after Zhongci Ningcun put all his assets into the financial market, the financial products he invested, including stocks and real estate, have been appreciating. On June 10, Nakamura came to work in the exchange as usual. After he entered the exchange, the atmosphere in the exchange was no different from before, just like the vegetable market, which was very lively. He came to his desk, sat down, turned on the computer, and prepared to check the stock market first. However, at noon 12 that day, an accident happened. Twelve noon is the closing time of all stock exchanges, that is to say, after that, stock trading is not allowed until work in the afternoon. However, at noon 12 this day, the stock market did not stop trading, but the power went out.
By about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the power supply of the exchange was restored, it was too late. On this day, all financial markets in Japan experienced an unprecedented collapse in the whole human history. In a short period of five hours, the yen experienced hyperinflation and depreciated sharply, and all domestic stocks were sold off in large quantities, and the share price shrank sharply. Of course, the real estate market has not been spared. Japan's real estate market bubble suddenly collapsed on this day. The value of the property has shrunk dramatically. In this case, the value of all the shares held by stock holders has become a huge debt. For example, a shareholder bought 5,000 shares at a price of 1000 yen per share, and originally invested 5 million yen, but after the stock market crash, the price per share became negative 2,000 yen. In other words, the total assets of shareholders were not only cleared instantly, but also owed 5 million yen. The same is true of the real estate market. According to later statistics, Japan's stock market crash and property market crash directly led to the short selling of Japanese economy, and more than tens of thousands of Japanese investors chose to commit suicide, just like American investors on Wall Street in 1929.
The main reason why Japan has such a large-scale and complete economic collapse is actually the United States. In the 1990s, after 45 years of reconstruction after World War II, continuous assistance from the United States and the efforts of the Japanese people themselves, Japan's economy developed rapidly in just a few decades after the war. In the middle and late 1980s, it surpassed the top countries in the world economic aggregate at that time, such as Germany and Britain. 1988 or so, its economic aggregate jumped to the second place in the world, second only to the United States. Japan was different from the European countries at that time. Those countries were the little brothers of the United States, so this situation was absolutely unacceptable to the United States. Therefore, the United States made great efforts to infiltrate the Japanese economy everywhere, and finally completely defeated the Japanese economy in the early 1990 s, maintaining the status and interests of the United States.
However, the real estate bubble in Japan did not completely crush Japan. After more than ten years of development and recovery, Japan's economy finally returned to a relatively stable and prosperous situation in the early 1980s in the first five years of 2/kloc-0 century. However, from this disaster, Japan understood a truth that is still in use today. This truth is that Japan can be controlled by the United States in all aspects, but there is only one aspect that is absolutely self-sufficient, and this area is the economy. From then on, as long as the United States wants to infiltrate Japan economically, Japan will totally reject it, leaving the United States with no room for manoeuvre. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese economy has not experienced such great turmoil again.
