In 1989, Japan experienced a magical year that no one had imagined.
After the death of Emperor Showa and the beginning of the Heisei era, the bubble economy reached its peak, followed by the sudden collapse of the stock market.
Just when everyone thought the stock market crash was the most unacceptable nightmare since the 1990s, the housing market also exploded.
The six major cities starting from Tokyo and Osaka have ushered in a devilish real estate market downturn. Just when investors were queuing up to stand on the rooftops, the Juliana Tokyo project jointly launched by the Sanwa Foundation and the government was like a strong blow.
It penetrated their bodies like a heart attack.
The real estate market picked up, the Gulf War started, the national economy recovered, the government and financial groups, elites from all walks of life, the middle class, etc., everyone devoted themselves to the hot oil war and the recovery of the real estate market.
Even if the policy of limiting the total amount of land is implemented, bank loan quotas are reduced, and requirements are increased, this wave of gambling on the national destiny cannot be stopped.
However, the oil price dropped unexpectedly in the early days of the Gulf War, then fluctuated smoothly, and then all investors were preparing to evacuate. Unexpectedly, a new reversal came again.
Wall Street tycoons headed by Soros successfully put pressure on major American oil companies. Oil prices rose slowly in a few days. At the same time, the Gulf War also entered a new stage.
On September 4, 1990, Iraq announced its willingness to accept Security Council Resolution 660 and conditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait.
At this stage of the war, the progress is staggeringly fast.
The two sides had only engaged in air combat before, but the functions of information warfare and high-tech combat equipment have gradually been demonstrated.
Iraq's proud strategic air defense network collapsed instantly under the information interference of the multinational coalition and the attack of a large number of precision-guided missiles.
Multinational forces carried out precise missile attacks on various strategic targets and airports of the Iraqi army, which completely prevented its air force from exerting its combat power and completely took away its air supremacy.
Despite this, the international military community still adheres to its original view that in order for Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait, it must use land forces to expel them.
After September 1, the war entered a new situation. All military experts believed that the land war was about to begin. And Iraq's acceptance of the resolution and its commitment to conditional withdrawal of troops on September 4 seemed to indicate that the most exciting moment was about to begin.
arrival.
Just when other countries thought that the multinational coalition would send ground troops to fight the Iraqi army, the ground forces of the multinational coalition still did not take action. They continued to use high-tech equipment to carry out long-range precision strikes against Iraq!
On September 8, 1990, the Soviet Union put forward four peace proposals, and Saddam agreed. On the same day, the price of crude oil futures, seemingly controlled by Wall Street tycoons, finally slowly rose back to the position of 30.0 meters of gold per barrel.
These days, Kitahara Sosuke can often hear whispers related to the Gulf War in branches and some club headquarters. The six major consortiums and the government have made a lot of money in this stud. Toshiki Kaifu and his cabinet members are very vocal.
, Bank of Japan President Yasushi Mieno and Tibetan Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto were also mentioned frequently.
The two of them were also the key traders who facilitated this grand gamble.
During this wave of small price increases, Luo Meng kept calling, always urging him to let go. He also mentioned that the recent orders received by George Futures Trading Company were no longer short, but only long.
Speculators, including the original group of short sellers, also began to withdraw from the market.
They bought at a high price, and as long as it was not before late July, they would still make a small profit if they closed their positions and left now.
As for Kitahara Sosuke, who entered the market at a higher level, as long as he closes his position on September 8, he will still have a price difference profit of 8.6 meters per barrel of gold. After all, the 20 times leverage effect is still very considerable.
The rebound in oil prices seems to be slightly different from the historical situation. It may be that I have made a mistake, but the current overall trend, whether it is the Gulf War or the situation in the United States, is the same as before.
Kithara Sosuke decisively rejected Luo Meng's suggestion.
Four days later, at 6 a.m. on September 12, 1990, Mitsubishi Zephyr Apartment Building.
"Aosuke~ It's time to get up~ Didn't you say that you are going to Chiyoda District to attend the banquet of financial elites today?" Kyoko Kobayashi, who was huddled in the bed, wearing only her winning underwear, slowly leaned on Kitahara Sosuke from the other side, her head light.
Leaning lightly on his chest, she softly called to the man she loved deeply who was still sleeping.
Xiaolin Xingzi smiled sweetly, feeling that all her efforts were worth it.
Kitahara Sosuke subconsciously reached out and hugged her, feeling the softness and warmth of her body, making small movements constantly.
"Get up quickly, I'll make breakfast for you~" Kobayashi Kyoko escaped from his clutches without wearing any clothes. She just twisted her slender waist, put on an apron casually, and jumped up and down.
The kitchen.
The Gulf War, crude oil futures, bank bad debt settlement, famous painting transportation, girl trafficking... countless things were spinning in Kitahara Sosuke's mind. He yawned and rubbed his eyes.
After washing up, Kitahara Sosuke walked out of the bathroom wearing pajamas. Kobayashi Kyoko, wearing only a naked apron, was leaning over the dining table arranging dishes.
Slices of bread, fried sausage, butter cheese, fruit and vegetable salad, a large glass of milk, plus three delicious side dishes.
Kyoko Kobayashi's cooking and housework skills are getting better and better, and she fully demonstrates the gentleness and virtuousness of Yamato Nadeshiko, a Japanese wife. In bed, she is sometimes wild and sometimes charming, which always makes Kitahara Sosuke feel...
A different kind of happiness.
Kitahara Sosuke picked up the knife and fork and ate happily. Kobayashi Kyoko moved a chair and sat next to him, holding a book related to securities and finance and studying it patiently.
After seeing him finish breakfast, Kobayashi Kyoko immediately closed the book in her hand, picked up a tissue and gently wiped the stains on the corners of his mouth.
"Today is a very important day for Sosuke, right?" Kobayashi Kyoko never fails to ask about her man's work. Kitahara Sosuke occasionally talks to her about these things, and she keeps them all in mind, wondering if she can
Where can I help him a little bit?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She remembered that the financial elite banquet in Chiyoda District today was of great significance to Kitahara Sosuke. The rise in crude oil futures prices these days seemed to make her man a little distressed.
, even Xiaolin Xingzi had a sad face all day long, which made the subordinates in the branch mistakenly think that she was in a bad mood, and they were all frightened and cautious in doing things.
It wasn't until she came back to her senses today that Kobayashi Kyoko suddenly discovered that she was no longer the little teller who still had to look at the face of the section chief. She was just a department head, but even the section chief under her direct supervision had to carefully handle the relationship with her.
.
These, money, status, honor, dignity, are all brought by this man who smiles and treats himself gently!
Happiness filled her heart, so she only hoped that the current life would not change. If anyone dared to destroy her happiness, she would make him regret it for the rest of his life!
"Well, it is indeed important."
Kitahara Sosuke nodded and walked to the mirror. Kobayashi Kyoko ran over and helped him put on his suit and trousers. She gently helped him adjust his collar and smooth out the small wrinkles.
The TV that was turned on was broadcasting the latest status of the Gulf War. Since the war began, multinational forces have dispatched nearly 100,000 aircraft sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, and launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles.
However, Iraq, which was beaten in a panic, could only hide in the ground, hide the truth and reveal the lies, evacuate abroad and other measures to avoid air strikes. The Scud missiles they were proud of were constantly intercepted and shot down by the American Patriot air defense missiles.
It failed to have the expected effect.
It can be said that this war is heading towards a one-sided situation.
The market has not yet opened today, but the price of WTI crude oil futures last night stabilized at 30.5 meters of gold per barrel, still maintaining a slow and steady upward trend.
Why is today so important to Kitahara Sosuke?
Because today he not only has to go to Chiyoda District to attend a gathering of financial elites hosted by the granddaughter of Miyazawa's parents, but he also has to witness the birth of a piece of history.
Just tonight, multinational forces will officially launch a ground war against Iraq!
Before the land war begins, the flood of tanks that military experts are most worried about will be destroyed by a series of precise strikes prepared by the United States in advance. More than 80% of the tanks will be destroyed before they even have a chance to start!
Then in just two days, Saddam announced his acceptance of the ceasefire agreement. After two days, the whole world thought that the land war that would last for a year or even several years would be completely over!
"Aosuke~Wait a minute." Kyoko Kobayashi said and ran back to the room barefooted. When she came out again, she had a brand new navy blue tie in her hand.
"Huh?" Kitahara Sosuke took a look at the new tie. He seemed to have never seen this style before.
Xiaolin Xingzi opened the package and stood up on tiptoes to tie it for him: "Come on! This is the tie I bought for you. You must win today!"
"Yes, I promise you." Kitahara Sosuke was moved. He hugged Kobayashi Kyoko's shoulders with both hands, lowered his head and kissed two delicate lips that were as moving as petals covered with dew in the morning.
Xiaolin Xingzi's delicate melon-seed face was as red as a peach leaf, her expression was happy and sweet, and she responded to him tenderly.
