Chapter 174 I am the big short

July 31, 1990.

The third investment fair of the Juliana Tokyo Project, which caused a sensation across Japan, has finally come to a successful conclusion. The whole of Osaka is filled with a strange and fanatical atmosphere. Many financial practitioners and middle class people in Osaka have successfully entered this project and used the hard-earned funds.

All invested.

Not long after it ended, countless eyes gathered in the Shibaura area of ​​Minato City where ground had already started. Everyone was waiting for the completion of this grand project. The expected opening time is May next year.

At the end of July, as the scorching heat set in, "Kiki's Delivery Service", which had been released for less than 20 days, earned a box office of 3 billion. It is heading towards a higher throne. This is already a phenomenal animated film, destined to go down in history.

Kitahara Logistics, which is linked to it, is also famous throughout Japan. Thanks to the snow wolf Kitahara, although Kitahara Logistics only does business in Tokyo and Osaka, its popularity has surpassed that of Yamato Transport, which has been operating for several years, and has successfully settled in the so-called foreign company.

It’s hard to get a foothold in Kyoto.

The car radio broadcasts the latest international news.

“On July 26, US Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz held their last pre-war meeting in Geneva. However, both sides believed that there was no room for compromise and the talks did not achieve results... According to the latest news, the US Congress has

Authorizing the military to expel Iraq from Kuwait, shortly thereafter, other countries in the alliance authorized their troops to attack. Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu stated that Japan would join the alliance army, and the funding for this war..."

"There's really going to be a war..." Norika Fujiwara, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, was stunned. She didn't understand much about this, but these days some colleagues occasionally talked about the tense situation in the Middle East, saying that Iraq might refuse

The demands of the Allied Powers will most likely result in a Gulf War in the near future.

I didn’t expect that the fight would actually start!

As a member of the Allies, Japan would naturally join the Gulf War.

Norika Fujiwara hates war very much. Obviously we are all human beings living on the earth, why do we have to fight to the death?

She also couldn't understand how some people shielded war criminals.

War criminals are war criminals, bad guys are bad guys, and bad guys should be punished!

"Well, oil prices are also rising... I remember that after Congress authorized it, the first wave of attacks was officially launched four days later. On that day, oil prices should have risen to the highest point in history.

"

Kitahara Sosuke drove the car, recalling the information in his mind,

"We have to speed up and buy oil at this point in time."

"Eh? If you want to buy oil futures, don't you, President, buy them as soon as possible before the war? I have also paid attention to the price of oil. It has been on an upward trend recently. If there is a war, it should go up again.

Didn't you lose a lot of money by buying it now?" Norika Fujiwara's face was full of doubts.

When the Gulf War starts, shouldn't it be the most profitable to go long on oil?

Although she does not buy futures or funds, as a bank employee, she must have passed the most basic financial knowledge.

In fact, many people around are eager to give it a try, but Japan has not yet listed crude oil futures. If you want to participate in the purchase of oil futures, you must go to the United States. Taking into account various costs and handling fees, it is enough to dissuade a large number of people.

In addition, as early as half a month ago, Tosan temporarily stopped the exchange business of Japanese yen and rice gold.

"Haha, you are right. Those who really want to participate in this oil futures transaction have already invested all their money in the futures market. They should have made a lot of money by now." Kitahara Sosuke just received Sakai yesterday.

Based on Mieko's secret message, she found out that a large amount of Ito Manzaburo's funds had disappeared. She suspected that all of it would be poured into Juliana's Tokyo project today, so she specially reminded Kitahara Sosuke.

But in fact, in the third investment promotion meeting, Manzaburo Ito, who holds more than 600 billion in capital, did not enter the market. The expanded quota was evenly distributed to those retail investors, so that everyone had a share, and everyone was equally affected.

In addition, Mieko Sakai also mentioned that Manzaburo Ito has been visiting Tokyo frequently recently, but not to major financial institutions. Instead, he has been visiting Congress, the Metropolitan Police Department and other places. It seems that he is trying to contact some people who can speak in the political and legal system.

A boss who can talk to you.

However, judging from the results, Ito Mansaburo came back defeated.

Taro Hamaka also mentioned this matter to Sosuke Kitahara. He did not expect that the "goods" he captured would be Ito Manzaburo's daughter!

It is indeed extremely embarrassing for father and daughter to meet under such circumstances.

On the surface, this incident was naturally the fault of Taro Hamaka and Xu Yongzhong. They were severely reprimanded, especially the lawless peninsula people from Dadyo Construction. If they continue to mess around like this without law, those big shots will

He made it clear that he would never turn a blind eye again.

It's just that this chain of interests is related to the Gekkosou Art Exhibition and political donations. The largest part is in the art exhibition transaction. These things Hamaka Taro and Xu Yongzhong are just accessories, a dessert for the big shots.

But dessert is dessert, and if it is exposed, there is no guarantee that the art exhibition transaction will also be leaked.

Therefore, in fact, the top bosses behind Moonlight Village seemed to have given Taro Hamaka and Xu Yongzhong a hard lesson. In fact, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it did not have any substantial impact on them.

However, after this incident, the Ito Man family, the Hamaka family and Oyodo Construction completely turned against each other. After all, Ito Manzaburo had been helping the Kita family. Finally, Ichiro Kita came out to be the peacemaker, allowing the three parties to shake hands and make peace.

Dadoyo Construction helped Itoman Co., Ltd. clean up the 700 billion in funds.

Taro Hamaka, who thought he was the most unjustly accused, was severely criticized by his father. He became increasingly angry and apologized, secretly spreading the story about Ito Marihua's own incident in the circle.

After the incident spread rapidly, the reputation of the Ito Man family was tarnished and became a joke among other families at private gatherings.

There were too many forces involved in Moonlight Manor, but Manzaburo Ito couldn't swallow this. He asked Xu Yongzhong to hand over the peninsula people who had robbed his daughter, but he was sternly rejected.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After that, Ito Manzaburo tried to put pressure on Xu Yongzhong through the political and legal system, but unfortunately failed again.

Manzaburo Ito, who had suppressed his anger, returned to Osaka dejectedly and threw all his wealth into the Gulf War. He wanted to transform his family into a wealthy family in one fell swoop, and then teach Xu Yongzhong a lesson!

After hearing the whole story, the real instigator, Kitahara Sosuke, smiled and said nothing. Dog-eating-dog-fighting between enemies was the best thing for him. After this seed of hatred was planted, it might grow into a towering tree in the future.

And he will be the first to enjoy the fragrant fruits produced by the big tree.

At the same time, houses in Tokyo and Osaka have also returned to the hot sales list, and it is expected that they will reach the peak again after the completion of the Juliana Tokyo project.

Kitahara Sosuke drove to Chiyoda District in Tokyo. He lamented that it was an extremely crazy era. People at the top bet on wars and national fortunes, people in the middle class bet on the fate of their families, and people at the bottom used all their wealth to bet on the housing market and the stock market.

, as long as you have money, no matter what your status is, you can find opportunities to participate in the game!

It's a pity that they are participating in a huge gamble that is destined to be losers.

Two days ago, Ito Manzaburo remitted 33 billion into his account in batches. Afterwards, Kithara Logistics and Kitano Logistics also summarized the funds. Counting the box office profits of "Kiki's Delivery Service", Kithara Sosuke now has

A total of 160 billion yen were held last time!

He is going to the Sanwa Bank Tokyo Head Office now to exchange all the Japanese yen in his hand for rice gold!

Also join in this huge gamble!

Three hours later.

The two successfully arrived at the Tokyo head office of Sanwa Bank in Chiyoda Ward.

Chiyoda Ward is Tokyo’s Wall Street and its administrative and judicial center!

The last time he came to the Tosan Head Office, Kitahara Sosuke fully experienced the charm of this special area. This time during the day, compared to the magnificent and colorful night view, the daytime scene of Chiyoda is no less impressive, giving it a splendid beauty of a prosperous and prosperous age.

Norika Fujiwara had long been impressed by the countless towering steel forests around her. She said "Wow" and stared at them intently.

When she was studying at Tokyo University, she spent all her time studying and working, and never left Bunkyo District. Although she had longed for Chiyoda District for a long time, she never had time to admire the magnificent beauty of this "first ring" in Tokyo.

.

She never thought that she would come to Chiyoda District as the second person in charge of special financing projects.

Kitahara Sosuke will intervene in the oil war of the Gulf War in the name of Kitahara Investment. This is Kitahara Investment's first super project in the true sense. Fujiwara Norika could not help but sit up quietly, feeling full of pride in her heart.

Sanwa Tokyo Head Office is not far from Tosan Tokyo Head Office, occupying a huge office building towering into the sky. The huge Sanwa characters are extremely eye-catching. It is indeed the core financial enterprise of the consortium, and its surging vitality seems to be coming at any time.

It penetrated from the building and hit people's hearts directly.

Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika walked into the head office building and showed their credentials as special financial customers. Soon a middle-aged account manager with a slicked back hair greeted them with a smile.

"President Kitahara, please come this way. Please follow me to the foreign exchange exchange hall on the twelfth floor for business processing." The middle-aged account manager received the message from Uchida Hiroshi early and must meet the exchange requirements of this special customer.

Originally, Sanwa Bank had stopped foreign exchange exchanges, but the exchange hall was still full of customers waiting for exchanges. These people were at least somewhat famous in Japan. The restrictions on foreign exchange exchanges mainly targeted people with no identity background. This group of people

Of course it cannot be completely restricted.

As soon as the extremely young Sosuke Kitahara and Norika Fujiwara entered the hall, they were stared at by countless people. Some of them had participated in the first investment fair and were no strangers to Sosuke Kitahara.

"Please come over here. You need to queue up to get a number. Please wait here for a moment." The middle-aged account manager ran over to get a number, and then waited with them in the waiting area.

Several entrepreneurs around them whispered about the situation of the Gulf War, and the topic inevitably turned to the oil market. The exchange of rice gold at this time was obviously aimed at the oil market.

However, they are not qualified enough to take advantage of the government and the six major financial groups, so they can only go abroad to buy futures and enter the market.

"I asked yesterday, and oil futures actually rose to 17.9 meters of gold per barrel at the close. Just a week ago, it was only 12.4 meters of gold per barrel!" One of them said in a low voice, his tone full of annoyance and regret.

"Who knew it would rise so fast? Didn't military strategists estimate that the war would take at least half a year to break out? But just in the morning, the U.S. Congress suddenly passed an application to mobilize the army! At the close of today, oil is likely to rise sharply.

, If you didn’t catch up with the previous ones, it won’t be a big loss if you catch up now.”

The other person nodded in agreement.

The conversations in other small circles are similar. Nowadays, it is no secret to invade the oil market and go long. On the eve of the war, people with some connections and brains want to enter the market and make a profit, but their funds are not worth it compared to the big guys.

Mention.

"President, I have always had a question. Since everyone is ready to go long, who can we eat? There are no short sellers, or there are not enough people on the other side, so what we can make is limited, right?" Fujiwara Nori

Xiang asked softly.

Several glances came over him, and the people who had been talking to him whispered and chuckled from time to time.

"Yes, there were too few shorts. Everyone was worried that they would go late and not even have a drink of the soup, so they all came to exchange money to enter the market." Kitahara Sosuke explained with a smile, "Such a good opportunity, no chance to eat.

What a pity.”

"Ah, then we have to hurry up. If we can't eat meat, we can still drink soup." Fujiwara Norika only knew that he had prepared a large amount of money to exchange for rice gold. She didn't know the specific amount. In her opinion, Kitahara

Aosuke's entry into the oil market is to continue to expand the total assets of Beihara Investment, hoping to be listed before the end of the year. A wave of financing may reach the 100 billion target.

The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt. Kitahara Sosuke was not a careless person. After the war started to take shape and intensified, he should have chosen to enter the war long ago. Why did he delay entering the war until now?

He also had a leisurely and unhurried look.

There was such a tense atmosphere in the exchange hall at the moment. Everyone wanted to get their rice gold immediately and fly to New York to buy oil futures. They were afraid that if they delayed for a day, they would lose a lot of money, and they were even more afraid that if they were late, they would not be qualified to enter the market.

Where do so many short harvests come from?

Who doesn’t want to make money from fools? They think it’s outrageous that there will be short sellers in the Gulf War, but the world is so wonderful, and there are always people who dare to gamble with their lives.

"There's no rush, no rush, no one will fight us if we get in late." Kitahara Sosuke smiled.

"Eh?" Fujiwara Norika became more and more puzzled, "Didn't it mean that there are too few shorts, so we won't be able to enter the market?"

"Yes, that's true for those who are long." Kitahara Sosuke looked at her, then at the crowd around him, and said leisurely, "But it's not true for us."

"Hey, why?!" Fujiwara Norika had a bad feeling.

It felt like that cocktail party and dinner, when Kitahara Sosuke woke up, he was just the department head, and he scared her with such shocking words.

"Because I'm a big short."
