"My world changed from that day forward."
"I'm Yamazaki Fumihiko."
"I've come here to rescue Matsuba Bank Japan."
"I plan to destroy Matsuba Bank."
"You have a talent."
"1890 yen, 300,000 shares!"
"A market order, 300,000 shares!"
"Are you Mr. Kozuka?"
"Yes."
"When did you become the majority shareholder of this company?"
"About 2 hours ago."
"Did you win?"
"You shouldn't ask me..."
"I'm just a beginner."
"This is for you."
"A legendary speculator"
"Kozuka Taihei"
You have a pupil?
Well, even if I call him my pupil, he is still a kid.
Compared to you, Kozuka-san...
Have you gone dancing?
Yes, twice a week.
Although, maybe a bit too much.
Hello, Michiru?
Oh, sorry. I can't.
I have to attend a Buddhist service for my relative tonight.
You have relatives in Tokyo?
Yeah, very distant relatives.
It'll be held near my place.
My mom told me that I should attend.
What are you doing?
Stocks.
Stocks?
I'm checking a stock price.
Ah, the stock market...
My wife does that, too.
Through the Internet.
Ah, it's called, "Online trading".
A lot of people do that these days.
Even housewives.
Yeah, everybody is talking about that.
What's that?
This is a company with a lot of price movement.
I'm concerning about all the movement.
I see.
Oh!
Ah!
No...
Stocks?
Right.
Just recently...
He tried to trade stocks using a computer.
He used our names to create an account.
Did you really do it this time?
I just was checking the prices.
Be quiet!
What an annoying kid!
He's not smart and is interested in the stock market at his age.
You have to tell him...
What? You mean it's my fault?
That's not what I'm saying...
You just said so!
-You're too easy on him.
Calm down, calm down...
Sorry, Norimichi-kun.
It's been so long and yet, this is what we're discussing...
-Ah, Minoru-san is leaving!
Minoru-san!
We didn't have enough time to chat...
How old are you?
11 years old.
11?
I'm telling you...
Trading stocks isn't so easy.
Until I rose to this level...
I nearly crashed many, many times.
But I became a very skillful trader.
You're 200 years too young to do this.
Ah, don't you believe me?
Don't you?
Okay, I'll take you...
To see a saintly old man...?
Wait, what am I saying?
I'll take you to see a scary old man who's like a walking dictionary.
When you meet him, you won't want to trade stocks any more.
Obey your parents, okay?

What?

Anyway, have you checked this?
Companies that require special attention
Aqua Pharmaceuticals
No, I haven't.
Well, okay...
What kind of company is this Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
Tell me in 1 minute.
-What? Well...
Ready? Go!
Their mainstay is manufacturing various drugs treatments.
Their research and development labs are highly recognized.
But immense research expenses have taken its toll.
There's a possibility of bankruptcy.
What's the amount of the proposed loan?
278 million yen.
Suggested course of action?
Do away with the unprofitable areas.
Elimination of the poor business model.
In this case, it seems prudent to cut off financing immediately.
Well done!
And your final decision is very harsh. I like it.
Should I be pleased?
I'm praising you.
Anyway, cutting off financing is no problem.
Take care of it.
Yes.
Then, I'll start up on this...
Wait!
Kozuka is the primary individual shareholder?
I just found a problem.
I started with a stock trading computer game.
I was inspired by that game and wanted to trade for real.
I see.
Ji-chan, say something!
I've maintained a steady profit margin by day trading.
Day trading?
Profit margin?
That is...
Earning profits by trading stocks repeatedly in a single day.
The less time you hold the shares, the lower your risk.
Ah, please don't tell my parents about this.
Okay, no problem.
Risk?
Wow, even though you're a kid, you sure know a lot about stocks.
How much do you earn in a day, Yuta-kun?
Between 50,000 yen and 100,000 yen.
100...100,000 yen?!
I've earned 3.5 million yen so far this year.
-3.5 MILLION YEN!!!
How about you?
You're asking about me?
Well, I...
About 1/4th of yours.
Toritsu Electric, it went down again, right?
You've been lost lately.
Yuta-kun has an aptitude for stocks.
Really?
How about working part-time for me?
What?
Or if you want, you can be full-time.
Wait. Is that some kind of joke?
Why don't you learn about day trading from him?
Why?
I'm very sorry to ask you this...
Can you teach him?
He is a bit slow.
Okay.
Shut up!

No, I don't.

But don't your parents know about this?
If they knew, I'd be in big trouble.
You won't tell them, will you?
Of course not.
I'll keep your secret.
Right?
Yes. It's the law in our world.
Hello, Okamoto residence.
What? Trading stocks again?
Yes. He seems consumed with it.
I tried to stop him, but...
I see. I 'll check it out.
Thank you, Norimichi-kun.
No problem. I don't want him to be in trouble.

I got it.

Were you scolded?
Nothing you can do about it, right?
Should I apologize with you?
Because we're friends.
It's weird...
I was shocked!
He earns 1 million yen a month!
Can you believe that?
It's a gift! The boy is gifted!
Very soon, we'll be millionaires. It's frightening!
I'm scared!
Hidden talents do exist.
Can you believe that?
Yuta earns 3 times more than his father.
You didn't have to say it like that...
So, you're going to let him continue day trading?
Of course!
I should have noticed his talent sooner.
Developing a child's talent is a parent's duty.
Although... don't study too hard!
Here, have some more meat.
Eat up!
-Yuta, there's plenty more.
Why haven't you stopped funding for Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
Recently, Mr. Kozuka has became the majority shareholder.
Soon after, Aqua Pharmaceuticals was reportedly headed toward bankruptcy.
Why would he do that?!
Something's definitely going on.
That's what I have to investigate.
I'll go see Mr. Kozuka tomorrow.
Matsuba Bank
Aqua Pharmaceuticals
Thank you.
I will tell you the truth.
Matsuba Bank will withdraw aid from Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
I see.
And...
We came here to inform you, Mr. Kozuka, as majority shareholder.
Thank you very much.
For your concern.
Why did you invest in Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
Why do you intend to cease financing for Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
It's obvious...
because they're going bankrupt.
I see.
It's quite obvious if you look at their numbers.
I'll ask you one more time.
Why did you invest in Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
I would like to ask you one thing.
Do you need a reason to love someone?
I think not.
That's my answer.
Was that too humorous?
Your reactions are too slow.
Focus on the nerve in your right hand.
How long have you been alive?
But Cosmo Chemical Inc. is supposed to be more aggressive.
That's not the point!
Don't think intellectually.
Okay.
Yes.
Do you work here?
Yes, I do.
I see.
Yes.
Excuse us.
It's tough, isn't it?
You work with him, don't you?
Well, don't let him push you around.
Excuse me.
She's very cute, isn't she?
Ah, there you are.
We were upstairs.
We're home.
Her eyes are big and beautiful.
Right?
I'm positive she perms her eyelashes!
Is she mad?
No, I think she's praising her.
Check out the entire staff of Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
There must be a connection to Kozuka.
But...
Don't be fooled by that old man.
He was once called, "The demon of the market place".
There must be something.
You look pale.
Yeah, because I hear, "quota, quota," every day...
That crabby old man.
He is harsh toward you, isn't he?
He is a demon.
Don't think about it so much.
If you try hard, one day you can be like me.
-Shut up!
Ouch.
Sorry.
Shirato-kun, from now on, you take care of Kikuyakko.
Wow!
You're amazing!
Wow!
Hey, shoot!
Hurry up, shoot!
Good job.
You're good.
Okay, one more time.
Shoot!
-We lost again.

Are you all right, Boss?
I've been dealt a bad hand lately.
But if I ride it out, I will be the one left standing.
I understand.
Any news about Aqua Pharmaceuticals?
I've been searching, but nothing so far.
If you find something, call me.
Talk to you later.
Bad hand...
Yes?
Yamazaki, the Assistant to the Director is here to see you.
It wasn't necessary for you to make the trip.
I could have come to see you.
-That's okay.
How's this going?
Once I clean up all the bad loans, I'll move on to that.
I know you're very busy,
but we recruited you specifically for this matter.
I understand.
How is the Hong Kong Branch doing?
Are you making money?
Ah, the Buying and Selling Report has arrived by fax.
Do you want to check it out?
That's fine.
I don't want to see your success.
It makes me miserable.
Be quiet, please!
He needs to rest.
Otherwise, he won't be able to trade well tomorrow.
By the way...
Look at that fridge!
We bought it with his earnings.
What?
What do you think about his skills?
Well...
Don't tell anybody.
We're planning to buy a condo.
He can earn the deposit if he can keep this up.
We live in this company residence.
I don't like it here. Everybody is so nosy.
Some of them go through our trash.
They're unbelievable.
Ah, too slow!
Hey!
What?
In this case, should I buy at this point?
Hey!
What?
Can you teach me how to play basketball?
You're good.
One more time.
You're getting the hang of it... basketball that is
You too, trading.
How are your parents these days?
They're nags.
They interfere too much.
I wonder why.
-It beats having your job threatened all the time.
Have you heard of this company?
Aqua Pharmaceuticals
There's a rumor that they may go bankrupt.
Really?
A stock like that has severe price fluctuations.
And it's the best type of stock for day trading.
Right. The stock price is 135 yen right now.
If it goes down to 100 yen, the stock price will crash.
And when it hits rock bottom, it'll go up a little bit.
You must have studied hard!
-Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shuuut up!
However, it won't last long.
You have to buy it at the lowest price.
And when it goes up, you have to sell.
If you don't time it perfectly, you're finished.
Because they'll go bankrupt, the price doesn't go up, but falls steadily.
The risk is huge!
But I want to trade this stock.
Otherwise I can't fulfill my quota.
Then, I'll try too.
You, too?
My parents are nagging me.
They gave me their savings too.
I'm not quite sure what they're thinking.
Well, it's okay.
A loan must be withdrawn if a stock price falls below 150 yen...
That's the Home Office's decision.
Right now, it's 135 yen.
And if a stock price falls below 100 yen...
We have a company rule.
Almost all of the investors will automatically sell their shares.
If that happens, that company will go bankrupt.
Ouch...
We should hurry up and make a decision.
There must be something.
Mr. Kozuka thinks somehow that stock is valuable.
Please wait a little longer.
But...
-I'm gathering information right now.
There's no special information about Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
They're going to be bankrupt any time now.
I see.
Thank you.
Aqua Pharmaceuticals
I've investigated all of the Executives and their affiliates.
There's no connection.
The credit rating agency has lowered their rating further.
Somebody must have told him a false rumor.
Perhaps Kozuka is in decline at his age...
By the way,
-Okay!
We'll cut off financing.
What?
We'll go to Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
In my opinion...
There may be something.
He has his reasons...
Something I just can't put my finger on...
What "something"?
The bank can't make a judgment based on a vague opinion.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for having kept you waiting.
This is the financial report of Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
I see.
Thank you.
Well...
What?
I think you should wash your hands of Aqua Pharmaceuticals.
Matsui-kun, have I ever made a mistake before this point?
No...
You don't look happy.
Of course, I'm not happy.
This quota bullshit!
Listen, I pay your salary.
So, it's natural that I want to see results.
It's the same as day trading.
Show me results.
100,000 yen per day, 600,000 yen for 6 days.
If you can't fulfill this quota, you'll be fired.
He's started trading!
What?
It's his off day.
It's God's Will.
Why don't I go home instead of going to work?
I can't!
I can't stand to watch!
It's impossible to stop this disaster!
It's okay. I'll buy 10,000 shares with a market price.
That's a drop in the bucket!
Do what I say!
Okay.
Sorry, it's nothing.
Otsuka, Aqua Pharmaceuticals 10,000 shares!
-Yes sir!
Is he taking a big gamble?
Oh, I have no spare time.
Ah...
It's tough.
Why don't you drop down below 100 yen?
I'll buy 10,000 shares.
What? It's going up again...
This won't be easy.
Finally, here it comes...
I'll buy 30,000 shares.
No way! I can't keep it.
It's okay.
It's coming!

Ah, Anata (means husband in Japan).
What?
I fulfilled my quota.
I earned 1,287,677 yen in a week by day trading.
That's what you wanted to hear from me, right?
Right.
Then, can I quit day trading?
How will you fulfill your quota, then?
I'll think of other ways.
And after you finally learned how to do it...
I got tired of playing a video game.
It's boring.
That means you're the same as Yuta.
That's fine with me.
I want more stimulation.
From stocks.
More like playing basketball.
What? Weren't you stimulated?
Even though you earned this much money?
I don't want to see just figures.
I want to see the details behind the figures.
Then, I'll forget about the quotas too.
What? Why?
Why? Because I got tired of bullying you.
Bullying me?!
You did this partly for fun?
-Of course not.
It was entirely for fun!
Damn you!
Don't you know how I felt...?
You should hurry up. He's waiting for you, isn't he?
I'll never listen to Shigin again. Never!!! See ya.
Shigin? [ traditional Japanese style song ]
Ah!
He is just a kid, after all.
He looks like he's having fun.
We're stumped.
It's all right.
He didn't buy any shares. So, you didn't lose any money.
Has he traded since then?
-Not at all.
He hasn't touched his computer.
He always plays basketball.
It was just one of his pastimes.
Now he's found a new one.
I think so.
When I see his face...
All of my strength is gone.
Wait a second.
Hey, I can't dunk the ball like you showed me!
How can I, at my height?
Shut up and play!
I can't play the stock market like you, either!
Damn you!
I was wrong.
That's okay.
He is good!
What?
Basketball!
Look at him! He plays very well!
He has the skills!
He is the best player!
He has a nice technique, too. Ah, goal!
Well...What's his name?
Him...
-Ah, Michael Jordan?
Yes! Doesn't he resemble him?!
Have you met him?
His income is unbelievably high, right?!
Go, Yuta! Yuta!!!
Hey, shoot!
Ah, he is awesome!
Is this a happy ending...?
Shoot, shoot!
When the stock price of Aqua Pharmaceuticals was below 100 yen...
You prevented it from collapsing completely and saved them from going bankrupt.
But you didn't earn anything.
Instead, you lost 200 million yen.
Why would you want to do that?
Like playing a game, people who can't see what lies behind the figures...
They will never understand.
I don't understand it at all.
And I don't want to try to understand either.
That's fine.
But I'll make you understand what I mean soon enough.
Severely...
May I ask one more thing?
Shirato-san, the young man who was here...
Is he your successor?
I don't think he is good enough to be your successor.
You're wrong.
He is greater than I am.
Hey, good!
Shoot!
Good job!
We're fortunate to have recovered.
The development team of the new medicine must be very happy.
If we were bankrupted, their research would be lost.
That's right.
Hatano-san.
How are you?
Very well.
If you feel something wrong, please let us know.
Thank you very much.
-Take care.
