The Neon Bank located in Hashimoto Ishimachi has a turquoise roof. If you look down at this building built in 1891 from the air, you can see a clear 円.

Although before 1946, the old font of neon currency was "round", this did not prevent neon people from considering the intentional shape of this building as an urban legend that it controlled a country's currency power.

Otherwise, where did the title Neon Yen Prince come from?

Today, the new King of Neon Yen will ascend the throne.

The media gathered at the first press conference of the new president of Neon Bank. A dense number of microphones were placed on the long table in front of the white background wall. Among them, the microphones were the most densely packed on the main seat of the three-layered nameplate erected in the middle.

The staff poured tea into the porcelain cups placed on the white saucers, and felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit inexplicably warm.

I heard reporters whispering:

"Mie Ye-san has always been at odds with the Ministry of Finance. The trusted vice president Yoshimoto-san is only the director of the Financial Management Bureau. Can he be restrained?"

"Miyazawa-san has become the minister of Tibet again!"

"But Mie Ye-san was just the vice president at that time. Will today be very intense? I'm really looking forward to it..."

"Because Onodera Fortune announced its listing, the Neon Economic Index has begun to hit 40,000 points. How will Mie Nosan view this issue?"

"..."

There was not a lot of discussion, but it stopped when there was a noise from over there, and there was only the constant click of the camera lens and the continuous flash of light.

Walking at the front was none other than Mie Nofu. He was wearing a black suit, with a firm gaze behind his black half-rimmed eyes. He walked with a majestic and imposing manner.

Behind him, Yoshimoto Wei, who was transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the vice president of Neon Bank, seemed to be going through the motions.

Everyone walked behind the long table, and Mie Yefu took the lead in bowing, then sat down and said: "Please take care of me in the next five years! Let's get started!"

His voice was also decisive, consistent with his straightforward and concise style.

The introduction to the new leadership of Neon Bank ended with his summary of the central bank's past five years and his elaboration of the plan and philosophy for the next five years.

It's not time for reporters to ask questions yet, but the content is already getting more and more exciting.

"... From five years ago to now, there is a word that has been mentioned more and more: bubble! To illustrate it with numbers, the Neon Economic Index was 13,000 points five years ago. What is it now? It has been It’s close to 40,000! In Showa 60, the unit price of land nationwide was less than 480,000 yen, but now it’s 1.6 million yen!”

Mie Yefu pushed up his glasses, looked around at the reporters, and said in a sonorous voice: "Some people say that this is where the neon economic strength should be, and this is not a bubble. The neon economic index is 40,000 points, 50,000 points is not a problem. It will happen sooner or later, and 100,000 points is not the end. Based on my research on the economy, this is unhealthy development, and this is a bubble! Economic bubbles actually exist!"

His generous and firm look at this moment was naturally faithfully recorded, but he was fearless.

Yoshimoto couldn't help but turn his head and look at him. Will he say anything outrageous next?

"In the past five years, the overheated real estate market and financial market have been very dangerous! Compared with five years ago, how is the situation now? Despite my repeated objections, under the long-term low interest rates, the average over the past five years has been higher than With a money supply that is twice as fast as the actual growth rate of the economy, where does the money go? Financial and real estate markets! These are markets with thresholds that ordinary citizens cannot enter. The speed of investment profits far exceeds what can be created by hard work of both hands. With the speed of wealth, the wealth gap is getting bigger and bigger! With the current real estate prices in the six major cities, how many ordinary citizens will not be able to purchase a set of real estate in their lifetime?"

The scene was completely silent. Yoshimoto's hand slightly placed under the long table nervously pinched the corner of his clothes.

Let’s start. Who is responsible for the long-term low interest rates? Although the policies are announced by the central bank, the Ministry of Finance bypassed the central bank and announced an interest rate cut the year before last, which made Mie Yefu furious. The news of the sick leave protest is still fresh in his mind. He has always said that

Famous for standing opposite the Ministry of Finance, now tearing apart the pain caused by the economic bubble to ordinary people. After today's remarks were spread, the conflict between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank was completely made public, right?

"This situation cannot continue any longer!" Mie Yefu said categorically, "Neon Bank was established to be responsible to all citizens. Maintaining the stability of neon prices is the central bank's first responsibility to society! In the past, neon banks

Banks can only try their best to maintain the prices of ordinary consumer goods. However, the real estate market cannot continue to expand like this!"

"In the next five years, no matter how difficult it is, wrong policies must be corrected! For the future of countless Neon citizens, Neon Bank will definitely keep its mission in mind! Here, as the new Neon Bank

President, I promise all citizens that we will do our best to free the neon economy from illusory bubble growth and return it to a healthy track! Thank you very much for coming, and now I will answer your questions."

The scene immediately exploded, and everyone raised their hands.

Mie Yefu calmly pointed to a person, and the first question was extremely sharp: "Mr. President, you think the current economic bubble is caused by long-term low interest rates, but the Ministry of Finance has already conducted two rounds of reforms in March and October a few years ago.

interest rate hike. Do you think it’s not enough?”

"Yes, it's far from enough!" Mie Yefu replied very quickly, "After Black Monday last year, the United States and several major countries have taken the lead in adjusting interest rates to the level before the interest rate cut or even higher. Our actions are already too late.

More than a year! I understand a little bit

Anyone with economic knowledge knows how much inflationary pressure Neon is facing now! The unbalanced interest rate leverage difference has made Neon Yen the main target of hot money arbitrage transactions! Therefore, it is necessary to continue to raise interest rates! In fact,

, I’m already discussing plans.”

This sentence made the fat on Yoshimoto's face tremble involuntarily. Sure enough, the reporter quickly asked: "Mr. President, does the Ministry of Finance know about the new round of interest rate hikes?"

Mie Nofu replied calmly: "Although Neon Bank is legally part of the government, it is ultimately responsible to Congress."

This sentence was almost an open rebellion against the nominal authority of the Ministry of Finance. Yoshimoto opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak in the end.

"Sir President!" the next reporter asked impatiently, "you said that there is a threshold for financial investment. The wealth gap between ordinary citizens who cannot afford to invest and others has become wider and wider. But those citizens who invest their assets in the financial market

, is he guilty?"

Mie Yefu stared at him quietly, and then said sternly: "It's not the people who are wrong, it's just the policy! Neon Bank's policy is not for a small group of people, but for all the people! As for those who will

Citizens who invest their assets in the financial market are certainly not guilty, but they have a choice."

He paused and then said frankly but loudly: "I myself have never bought a stock in my life!"

As the president of the central bank, he actually made such remarks, and the reporters were all shocked.

When word spreads, ordinary people who can only sit back and watch others get rich easily through the stock market, foreign exchange and real estate because of insufficient assets and fear of financial market risks will naturally regard him as an idol. However, the dignified president of the central bank actually does not encourage financial investment. This

He is already using his influence to squeeze out the water from the stock market. Is it possible that the neon stock market, which was expected to hit 40,000 points again, will fall again in response?

Naturally, someone thought of another influential person, raised their hands and asked: "Mie Chong Ye Sang, so what do you think of Tao Dalang Sang, who has been in the spotlight recently and has become an idol of the younger generation through the financial market?"

Sanzhong Yefu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As I said, everyone can have their own choice. Do other citizens have Tao Jun's talent or luck? Now, it's not a question of how I think of him, but of how I view him.

It’s how he views the issues of the new Heisei era.”

"Mr. President..."

Mie Nofu was still talking at the press conference, but Miyazawa Kiji, who had already received the news, was furious.

"Asshole! The interest rates have just been raised in October. What does this guy want to do? Is the suppression of inflation the result of Neon Bank? Two interest rate increases and the adjustment of the consumption tax have already played a big role. The Ministry of Finance has

Doesn't he know how difficult it is? The United States has just agreed to take the lead in opening its market to our semiconductor and medical industries, on the condition that the interest rate policy and exchange rate policy must still maintain the original agreed pace! Does this guy want to destroy everything? He must be stopped!

"

The anger could only be released in private. When faced with reporters who came to interview after questioning, the Ministry of Finance could only say aggrievedly: the pace of interest rate hikes is determined based on economic conditions, and in order to suppress the real estate market and financial market

bubble, interest rates have been raised twice this year...

On the first day that Mie Nofu took office, the conflict between the central bank and the Ministry of Finance became completely public.

Because when reporters later asked the central bank again about the details of the interest rate increase plan, Mie Yefu even made it clear that although the Ministry of Finance had "ordered" the central bank to cancel the interest rate increase, he would not back down.

The word "order" caused an uproar in public opinion.

[A real man! The age of maids is over when Minister Tibet is always at your call!]

[The Neon Bridge branch in Tibet went berserk! The new central bank president: The bubble is real.]

[Errors that must be corrected, Prince Neon Yen who ascended the throne raised the sword of judgment! 】

…

Tao Zhiming was filled with emotion when he saw the titles of Secondary 2 in various newspapers and magazines.

It seems that my time as a frequent headliner in the past two months is over. Mie Yefu is so fierce.

The hero of Heisei no Oni appears and sweeps across the world.

The new king has ascended the throne, and Miyazawa Kiji has come back again after the scandal. Can he still be suppressed?

Qiu Shuzhen didn't know why he was smiling so much while reading these newspapers. She had been trying to figure out what Tao Zhiming's purpose was when he told her the story about "Miss Qiu."

However, he said not to think too much or ask too many questions, so Qiu Shuzhen had no choice but to endure it.

Since the night before yesterday, Tao Zhiming said he was very busy, but he had only arranged some things over the phone and stayed with her the rest of the time, which made her realize that he was not so indifferent to her, but seemed a little nostalgic.

.

"You were also mentioned in the newspaper." Qiu Shuzhen saw his name in the newspaper, "Brother Tao, you said he is a great god, don't you want to keep an eye on his every move?"

"Aren't I just staring?" Tao Zhiming spread the newspaper.

Qiu Shuzhen looked at him speechlessly, only watching through public reports? She thought it was such careful attention, just like in the movie, a lot of people were arranged to collect as comprehensive information as possible against a very important enemy.

It turned out that I just stayed leisurely in the villa, lying on the deck chair and basking in the winter sun.

Just as he was about to ask something, the mobile phone he put aside rang.

She reached out and took it and handed it over. Tao Zhiming put down the newspaper and was a little surprised after listening to it: "Miyazawa-san, is it inappropriate for me to attend the coordination meeting for the issuance of national bonds between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank for the next year?"

"You are the special director of the financial research center to be established." Miyazawa Kiji said concisely.

Tao Zhiming thought about it and then laughed: "Okay, then I'll go. What do you need me to do?"

"You don't want Onodera Fortune to be listed in the Neon Stock Market crash, right?"

"I understand." Tao Zhiming's lips turned up high.

Qiu Shuzhen thought he had a naughty smile, but he looked very charming.

Seeing that he hung up the phone, she asked in a low voice: "Brother Tao, if you go to the meeting, then I..."

"You can go shopping if you want." Tao Zhiming stood up and stretched, "This meeting will definitely be very tiring. You said you would help me beat my back at night."

After gently twirling her tender face, Tao Zhiming went to change clothes in anticipation.
