In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

During the negotiation period, from March to May 1981, Toyota's stock price fluctuated significantly.

Toyota shares fell early in the talks as U.S. pressure raised expectations of curbs on Japan’s exports.

However, after the agreement was reached, Toyota's stock price rebounded rapidly after the signing of the agreement in May 160, and in the short term, the maximum increase was as high as 168%.

The results of the US-Japan automobile trade negotiations should be released in May.

Now, it is March, which is the early stage of negotiations.

If he wanted to make a plan, he would have a window of more than two months.

As long as Lin Haoran completes the position before May, then after the negotiations are over, the profit will obviously be very considerable.

At this moment, Lin Haoran already knew how to make money.

Moreover, maybe this time, he could earn a considerable sum of money and solve his problem of lack of funds!
His goal was a bit too big. If he only relied on the employees of Galaxy Securities in Japan, it would obviously be difficult to absorb so many stocks in just over two months.

The best way is to find a broker to help.

However, he didn't know many securities firms in Japan, and he had a lot of stocks he wanted to invest in. Once the news got out, it would have a huge impact on Toyota's stock market.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a reliable brokerage firm.

Moreover, it would be best if the brokerage firm has very strong connections.

Because he needs to acquire a lot of stocks.

Maybe you can ask Citibank.

Today, the financial institution with which he has the best cooperative relationship is Citibank.

Citibank is also very strong in Japan. Most importantly, they have extensive connections and good confidentiality.

Although it would be best to find Japanese local financial giants to handle this matter, the problem is that Lin Haoran is not familiar with them. If he cooperates with them, the news is likely to be leaked.

Once the news gets out, Toyota’s stock price will definitely be greatly affected, thus changing its original development trajectory!
Therefore, in this matter, we must not cooperate with Japanese financial giants.

At this moment, Lin Haoran thought a lot.

"Please get me a copy of the stock price trend chart of Toyota and Sony for the past three months." Lin Haoran thought for a moment and continued.

"Okay, boss. I'll go ask the Galaxy Securities Department then." After saying that, Keiko Yamada left the office.

Toyota and Sony stocks have always been the target of Galaxy Securities Japan Branch. Now, among the stocks they have absorbed are Toyota and Sony stocks.

Therefore, Galaxy Securities Department has very detailed information on the stock price trends of Toyota and Sony.

About ten minutes later, Keiko Yamada returned to the office.

At this moment, she was holding two forms in her hands.

One is from Toyota and the other is from Sony.

"The employees at Galaxy Securities Department need to organize the data, so it will take a longer time," Keiko Yamada explained.

"It's okay, just continue to help me press it!" Lin Haoran said without turning his head.

At this moment, his attention was focused on these two stock price reports.

Keiko Yamada then continued to massage her boss's shoulders.

Sony's market value at this time was as high as 13207 billion yen?
And the market value of Toyota Motor is as high as 16860 billion yen?
Lin Haoran was a little surprised.

The market value of these two companies is higher than he imagined.

The bank with the highest market value in Hong Kong, Huifeng Bank, is only a little over 23 billion Hong Kong dollars. Converted into Japanese yen, the total market value is only over 900 billion yen, less than 1 trillion yen.

Whether it is Sony or Toyota Motor, their market capitalization is actually higher than that of Huifeng Bank.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. Today, Japan's economic scale is only second to that of the United States, and its market size is not much worse than that of the United States. Moreover, both Sony and Toyota are now very internationalized, so it is normal for their high market value.

Although Huifeng Bank is actively pursuing internationalization, it has not been so smooth. Its current market value of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is due to the fact that the Hong Kong stock price has risen too fast in the past two years.

As of the end of 1979, Lin Haoran remembered that the market value of Bank of Hong Kong was only about HK$ billion.

However, the high stock price is also good for him.

At the very least, the amount of money he wants to invest in Toyota Motor shares is relatively large. If Toyota's market value is too low, then his operation may be difficult to achieve.

But now, Toyota's market value is much higher than he imagined, so naturally there is more room for maneuver.

Toyota's stock price has fluctuated greatly recently, mainly falling, which Lin Haoran does not find surprising.

Because according to the articles he had read in his previous life, it was recorded that during the negotiations, Japanese stock investors were panicked.

At that time, the US government hoped that Japan would voluntarily restrict automobile exports to the United States to ease the pressure on the US auto industry.

However, Japan is not convinced by the measures proposed by the United States, believing that the US government's auto aid plan is not strong enough to prompt Japan to take voluntary action to limit auto exports to the United States.

Investors are afraid that once the results come out, it will definitely be bad news.

Therefore, Toyota Motor's stock price has declined to a certain extent during this period.

However, after a series of negotiations and bargaining, on May 1981, 5, the Japanese government announced a voluntary restriction on automobile exports to the US market for a period of three years.

With such an agreement, export restrictions were lower than market expectations, so investors regained confidence and pushed up the stock price.

This is what's going to happen to Toyota over the next two to three months.

It seems that I need to find some time to talk to the head of Citibank's Japan region.

Lin Haoran carefully studied the stock price chart, his eyes full of smiles. He had realized that the US-Japan auto trade negotiation was not only a political and economic event, but also an excellent investment opportunity. The fluctuation of Toyota's stock price provided him with an opportunity to take advantage of market sentiment to buy low and sell high.

At this moment, Lin Haoran already had an idea.

In addition, Sony's stock price also has a certain amount of room for operation. Although the profit is far from being as large as Toyota's, its advantage is that the time is shorter.

Once Sony's Walkman sales announcement is released, it is remembered that Sony's stock price will surge by 20% in the short term. As long as it is well controlled, he will be able to make a lot of money from it.

Moreover, Sony should announce its sales data soon, so he must buy it before they do, otherwise he will miss the opportunity.

"Boss, my mother called today and wants me to go back tomorrow, so I want to take a vacation." At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Haoran was about to go back, and Yamada Keiko said nervously beside him.

"It's okay, then go back. You still have two days off this month." Lin Haoran smiled and didn't care.

According to the contract that Keiko Yamada signed, she would have two days of vacation every month.

There were few holidays, but Keiko Yamada did not refuse.

Since joining the company, she has never taken a vacation.

"Thank you, boss." However, Yamada Keiko was not happy at this moment. Instead, her face was full of worry.

The call from home was not good news.

Lin Haoran didn't notice it, because he was still sitting in the chair, enjoying the massage of Yamada Keiko comfortably. (End of this chapter)
