Chapters 1444 and 1453: They really made a movie about money-making secrets!!!

When the weekend arrived, "Black Monday" officially premiered!

Numerous investors and stock traders, drawn by its reputation, brought their families and friends to the Shuyou Cinema chain, making it so popular that managers of other cinema chains in Japan were envious.

"Isn't it supposed to be a niche film? How come so many people are going to see it!"

Audiences, hoping to "learn how to make money" and "gain experience in stock trading," couldn't help but chat with those around them after settling into their seats, turning the screening room into a stock market discussion forum.

"Where did you hear that from?" "An insider in the investment world." "I heard that big names in the financial investment circle are very optimistic about this movie!" "Can it teach people how to make money?" "Of course, that Naoki Nagayama is an investment genius." "I heard he's recently been investing in the light industry sector."

It was so lively that it even helped several investment advisors develop a lot of new clients!

And when the lights dimmed and the movie actually started playing, the audience was completely captivated by the film's content!

I initially thought that the screen full of technical jargon would be incomprehensible to the audience, but when it comes to making money, everyone thinks that this is what professionalism is all about.

"Programmed trading is all about using computers, right?" "These days computers are getting more and more powerful; who knows when they'll surpass the human brain!"

"Insufficient market liquidity. Ah, yes, yes, there are no buyers! So portfolio insurance cannot be completed."

"The situation in other countries regarding globalized trade will affect the United States, and even Japan."

"The herd mentality. Ha, to say that retail investors are like sheep? This is slander!"

"."

During the discussion between the protagonist Naoki Nagayama and the core members of Tree Friends Capital, the audience was bombarded with a large amount of information at once. However, the down-to-earth, colloquial dialogue made it easy for them to understand the meaning.

Although viewers may have some reservations about Naoki Nagayama's statement that retail investors are easy targets, they do genuinely agree that most people are simply following the crowd when it comes to investing!

Some people were very excited, feeling that after watching this movie, when they talked about investing with their friends, they would be able to use a lot of sophisticated terms that would surprise them!

As Naoki Nagayama confirmed the impending stock market crash and decisively bet his entire fortune on short selling, the audience gasped in shock.

"That's decisive! That's his entire fortune!" "Hundreds of billions, even trillions! Naoki Nagayama is really rich." "Isn't that an exaggeration?!"

"No wonder they make money! That's guts!" "I wouldn't dare bet my entire fortune. Although I don't have it."

The classic line, "Win and you'll be partying with clubs, drinking, and young models; lose and you'll be stuck on a construction site doing manual labor," has been etched in the minds of many men and scorned by many women.

"As expected of the womanizing Naoki, his summary of men is spot on!"

"Has Naoki Nagayama's new movie been released?"

Takafumi Ogasawara, the head of Toei's headquarters, had just woken up from a hangover, and this was the first question he asked upon arriving at the company.

Why go to the office on weekends? Besides handling business, of course, for the boss, the office is much more comfortable than home.

"Hi!"

His trusted confidant, Nakano Toru, nodded repeatedly.

"Let's start today."

"Black Monday."

As Takafumi Ogasawara chewed on the name, he couldn't help but feel a little sore. He had also lost a lot of money during the last stock market crash, and it was indeed a "black Monday" for him!

"How about it? I mean, the buzz. Wasn't it supposed to only be shown in Tree Friends theaters?"

"Forehead"

Nakano Toru handed the coffee to Ogasawara Takafumi.

"Although there are no specific figures, judging from the information circulating among tree enthusiasts, the interest is very high!"

"It even has the potential to surpass our 'Deadly Cop' series."

"What?!"

Takafumi Ogasawara was stunned.

"This is a business war film."

"Yes."

Nakano Toru said cautiously,

"However, as you know, this movie is related to stock trading. How many people in Japan are involved in stock trading these days?"

"and"

"And what?"

Ogasawara Takafumi asked,

"Go on!"

"Furthermore, there are rumors that Naoki Nagayama has included his money-making secrets in the movie. So even more people are going to see it!"

"What are you thinking?!"

After hearing this, Takafumi Ogasawara scoffed.

"These viewers are so naive! Who would share their money-making secrets with others?"

"Throughout history, anyone who teaches others how to make money has been a fraud! If it were that easy, they'd be the ones making the money themselves!"

".Hi."

Nakano Toru nodded, a wry smile on his face.

"But that's what ordinary people believe."

"."

Takafumi Ogasawara was helpless. What could he do with such a motley crew?

After drinking the coffee, the bitterness in his mouth lessened the hangover feeling. Takafumi Ogasawara leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples, and then something else occurred to him:

"By the way, isn't Naoki Nagayama going to have his one-month celebration party soon?"

He heard this news at a drinking party last night, and it seems that the news is circulating among the upper echelons of Japan. It's quite a hot topic.

Invitations to the full-moon celebration for the eldest son of the Yongshan family have been sent out, and many people have received them.

However, Takafumi Ogasawara discovered that he had not received it!

"Hi, it seems to be at the Empire Hotel. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have received them!"

Nakano Toru nodded. There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. Those entertainers naturally leaked the invitations as soon as they received them to show off their status.

"I heard it's a handwritten invitation from Akina Nakamori!"

"oh?!"

Takafumi Ogasawara frowned deeply. All the entertainers in the industry had received invitations, but he, the head of Toei, hadn't been invited?!

What is Naoki Nagayama up to? Although I had some disagreements with him before, it was just that he exposed some dirty secrets and suppressed some of Naoki's fans. That's not a reason for him not to invite me!

In the world of fame and fortune, even enemies should maintain a smiling facade – that's the dignity of the upper class!

Unbeknownst to him, Takafumi Ogasawara had already taken the invitation to the Nagayama family's full moon celebration as a kind of confirmation!

Just like the prime minister's banquet in Japan, the coming-of-age ceremony of a prince, the wedding of the heir of the Fuji conglomerate, the memorial service of a celebrity, being invited to such important social occasions is itself a kind of recognition of one's status!

Naoki Nagayama has unknowingly become an important member of the upper echelons of Japan!

If Takafumi Ogasawara hadn't been invited to his heir's one-month celebration, he might not have been able to join the conversation at the subsequent gatherings!

"Cough cough."

Takafumi Ogasawara's strategic cough,

"Perhaps my invitation hasn't arrived yet."

Nakano Toru was very perceptive:

"Yes, yes, the more important the person, the lower they are in the list."

"Uh-huh."

Takafumi Ogasawara clicked his tongue for a moment.

"Since we're free today, Nakano, go get a couple of tickets, let's go see Naoki Nagayama's 'Black Monday'!"

"Hi!"

Back in the theater, the story of "Black Monday" had reached the day before the stock market crash.

Genta Nakai wakes up in his New York apartment. The messy room, empty bottles, and cigarette butts are a testament to the stress he's been under these past few days.

Of course, for the sake of Yuan Tai-san's family, the scene with the foreign woman was cut by Naoki Nagayama. After all, he had to consider that his good brother wouldn't be kicked out when he went home at night.

It snowed all night in Manhattan, covering the streets and rooftops with snow, like a blanket of snow covering New York.

By the morning, after municipal workers and residents worked hard to shovel snow and clear the main roads, traffic in the city gradually returned to normal, and the New York Stock Exchange resumed operations after the clock struck midnight.

Then, the avalanche began!

From the very first sell-off, the entire market began to collapse uncontrollably!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, as if it had been holding back for too long, was unstoppable once it was released.

As the screen displayed the New York Stock Exchange, filled with red numbers (representing declines), the entire audience held their breath, as if they were right there in the stock market!

Seeing the securities market staff standing there dumbfounded, the audience also kept their mouths shut.

Stock market crash!

So that's where it all started!

Next, as the camera shifts between Hong Kong, London, and Toronto, following the perspectives of Naoki Nagayama's agents who have been dispatched to other countries, viewers seem to witness the global stock market collapsing like dominoes.

However, when they finally arrived in Japan, the price drop officially occurred a day later due to the time zone.

And at that moment, the audience saw the scene from the trailer.

A well-dressed gentleman went to the top of a skyscraper and jumped off without hesitation!

The dull thud of a body colliding with the street made the audience's hearts skip a beat. The blood slowly seeping onto the cold ground chilled them to the bone.

"That person could be me."

Those who have experienced a market crash often have this thought in their minds.

"The stock market is indeed too dangerous!"

This is what the housewife, who doesn't trade stocks much, was thinking.

"I need to be more careful when investing in stocks in the future!"

Those who are new to stock trading should be aware of this!

After a dozen seconds, the tension eased, and the audience witnessed the dire situation in various countries during the stock market crash, the government's efforts to rescue the markets, and discussions among different sectors.

Of course, we also saw the true protagonist of the story, Naoki Nagayama and his gang, who were placed under house arrest by the US government after making money and were not allowed to leave!

"Sure enough, if you make too much money, even the United States will get envious!"

"It's like the Plaza Accord that Japan forced people to sign before."

"By the way, isn't Japan's economy doing better than America's now?!"

"Could it be..."

Similar thoughts have already been planted in the minds of some viewers!

Finally, with the newly appointed prime minister's visit to the United States, Nakai Genta was released and returned to the country.

"As expected, Prime Minister Doi is quite capable."

Unbeknownst to many, Naoki Nagayama actually flattered the Prime Minister in a movie!

The entire 1-hour business drama was surprisingly engaging, with not a single dull moment, keeping the audience completely absorbed until the very end. Only Naoki Nagayama could achieve this!

When the movie ended and the lights in the theater came on, the audience felt a sense of lingering enjoyment.

"That's it?" "What about Naoki Nagayama's money-making secrets? Why aren't they there?"

"Autumn bean sack, I think I understand something." "What?"

"Understand market trends in advance!" "Pay attention to subtle trends!" "Think contrarian!" "Be bold and seize opportunities!" "Maintain composure under pressure and stick to your plans!" "Have a global mindset!"

"."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, after watching "Black Monday," viewers seemed to truly grasp Naoki Nagayama's decisiveness and mindset during his stock trading.

The audience members chimed in with their comments, and they actually managed to come up with quite a few "secret tips"!

Moreover, they are quite certain that if they can do the above, they will not only make a fortune in the stock market, but they will also become consistently successful!

"Naoki Nagayama has really put his money-making secrets into a movie!"

"I'm crying my eyes out!!" "What a kind person!"

""

The Japanese Prime Minister's official residence.

Tagako Doi got into another heated argument with a group of senators in the morning!

Those Chinese representatives always argue with the Prime Minister about everything, and they stubbornly cling to their conservative ways, unwilling to give up even the slightest bit of their interests!

The agricultural associations, that group of vested interests, aren't even willing to talk about protecting the interests of domestic farmers when it comes to opening up rice imports. Isn't it just because they're worried about their own interests being harmed?

It's important to know that the so-called Japanese agricultural cooperatives are actually just old feudal landlords and local tyrants from the Edo period, disguised in a different guise!

They control the entire chain of land cultivation, seed trading, agricultural machinery, and agricultural product sales, making them no different from landlords of the past who hired tenant farmers, lent out farm tools, lent out seeds, and bought back agricultural products at low prices.

However, in modern times, organizations are more tightly organized, and can even influence national agricultural policies.

Releasing restrictions on rice imports is a good thing for ordinary people, but for landlords like them, it naturally means their profits will be jeopardized!

"How can a country be governed by this swarm of cysticercus!"

Doi Tagako slammed the documents on her desk; the entire morning of debate had left this strong woman utterly exhausted!

For a left-wing progressive party like theirs to challenge the interests of conservatives is practically impossible.

"Indeed, to revitalize the economy, we must open up new sources of revenue! We must forge a new path!!"

"Knock knock."

At that moment, his secretary, Kawabata Juto, walked in:

"Mr. Doi, these are the documents that have been delivered. Oh, and there's also an invitation for you."

It's normal for Kawabata Juto to send documents, but an invitation is quite unexpected. You see, there are many invitations to the Prime Minister, but most of them are handled directly by the Cabinet Secretariat.

They either don't attend the formal thank-you event, or they send a small gift. Diplomatic matters are usually included in the itinerary.

But they specifically sent it in. Is it because they couldn't make up their minds?

What kind of invitation is it?

Doi Tagako accepted the documents first, but didn't look at the invitation for the time being.

"It's the Shuyu Group, and Naoki Nagayama's eldest son, Mangetsu."

"A full moon celebration!"

Upon hearing this, Doi Tagako picked up the invitation and opened it, seeing the neat handwriting inside.

"さて, private eldest son Nagayama Ren, に満月をying えました. Sincerely invite the Doi family."

It was a very formal invitation, handwritten by Naoki Nagayama.

After reading it, Doi Tagako placed the invitation on the table, pressed her palm on it, and tapped it lightly with her fingers:

"Kawabata, did you send this invitation because you think I should attend?"

No, no.

Kawabata Juto shook his head.

"Because the Shuyu Group is a good friend of the Social Democratic Party, and Mr. Doi has previously praised Naoki Nagayama highly, I believe this invitation needs to be personally extended by Mr. Doi."

"However, attending in person is a bit much."

"Um"

Tagako Doi nodded. If she were still the leader of the Social Democratic Party, she could certainly attend in person, but now she is the Prime Minister and represents the nation of Japan.

It would be more appropriate for her to attend if it were the full moon celebration of the heir to the throne.

However, Doi Tagako thought back to the argument with the conservatives that morning and realized that if the country needed to find new sources of revenue, the previous "cultural nation-building" policy was the best choice. And behind Itō Shuichi was the Shuyu Group!

Naoki Nagayama, the soul of the tree-loving group, already holds a very high position in Japan and plays a pivotal role in the national strategy of building a nation based on culture!

I can't go.

Doi Tagako picked up the invitation.

"I can't go in person!"

She handed the invitation to Kawabata Juto:

"Therefore, Kawabata, prepare a congratulatory gift, and you can represent me to offer your congratulations!"

A trusted secretary can represent the prime minister to a certain extent, which reflects Doi Tagako's high regard for Naoki Nagayama without seeming excessive.

"Hi!"

Kawabata Juto accepted the invitation and nodded earnestly.

"I'll take care of it!"

"Okay! Then I'm relieved!"

Doi Tagako smiled.

"Alright. Kawabata, call Itoh Shuichi over here. I need to know about the progress of the demonstration area!"

"Hi!"

Last day! Please vote with your monthly tickets!
