A group of young financial tycoons were staring at the color TV on the central platform. It was clear that the multinational army had just landed, and the land war had just begun!
Why did it fall?
Overseas phone calls were made one after another.
At this time, Japan's already tense communication situation became even worse.
Countless calls were made from the six major cities including Tokyo, to some new wealthy families, to the core families that control the six major consortiums, all frantically seeking confirmation and looking for the reason.
But no matter who asked, the answer was the same.
Oil prices indeed suddenly plummeted shortly after the land war broke out!
From 30.6 meters of gold per barrel to 25.7 meters of gold per barrel, an instant drop of more than 16%!
The most frightening thing is that the oil price when the government and the six major consortiums entered the market was around 26 meters of gold per barrel. For example, the price of the Takeshita family's entry was 26.5 meters of gold per barrel.
In other words, Japanese heroes from all walks of life who were making huge profits one second began to lose money the next second!
"Something's wrong, it's impossible, it can't be like this!" The young financial tycoon who was rescued roared in a low voice like a demon. In that second, the wealth poured out from his family was reduced to nothing.
nothingness!
Nearly 100 billion yen of assets were immediately liquidated, and I don’t know who harvested them!
"Calm down, calm down, everyone." A relatively calm man growled. He held a mobile phone in his hand and kept talking. "As long as the oil field exploitation is blocked and the land war affects the extraction and transportation of oil, the price of oil will increase."
A surge will definitely occur! No one has the ability to reverse this situation. American oil companies are also cooperating with us to control oil prices. It is not just us who are doing long, but there are many, many others."
"Everyone think about it calmly. The total amount of oil has decreased. What will they use to make up for the loss of crude oil in Kuwait? It can't be done! It can't be done no matter what, right? There are so many people who are doing long, and the US government is also doing it.
If we go long and we lose money, who can make money?"
He repeatedly emphasized several elements.
Alliance, the inevitable impact of land war on oil prices, the tactics of Wall Street tycoons, etc. These are established facts and can indeed play a reassuring role.
With his comfort, the others gradually calmed down from their madness and began to pick up their mobile phones to inquire about oil prices and make various decisions.
A banquet that was supposed to be a celebration has now become the office space of financial giants.
The only person who was free in the field was probably Kitahara Sosuke.
He watched the color TV with great interest, observing the Gulf War that shocked the world.
Japanese war reporters were also very dedicated, and even went deep into the hinterland after the war to report the latest situation to the people.
There were machine gunfire and explosions all around, and someone could die at any time.
Do you have to work under the consortium even if you die?
Kitahara Sosuke smiled, observing the rare ecological environment.
"Look, these are the missile equipment of the multinational forces. They are incredibly powerful. Once bombarded on land, those factories cannot withstand it! Kuwait relies entirely on oil, and factories are everywhere. How to hide? Do missiles have eyes to avoid them?
They..." The man who was relatively calm and whose house had not yet been liquidated pointed at the color TV and said.
Halfway through what he said, he was interrupted by the excited war correspondent on TV.
"Viewers, please see, these are Allied anti-tank missiles. This is Major Hayes of the US Army. Please let him explain to us the power and function of these missiles."
"Hello, Major Hayes, I'm..."
In the picture, the war reporter communicated in English with a tall army officer.
After listening to his question, the American Army officer nodded and briefly introduced: "Our anti-tank missiles will carry out precise strikes and can hit various enemy tanks very accurately, depriving them of their combat effectiveness before they activate.
The various high-tech equipment we have prepared have already positioned the enemy tanks for us. In the spirit of humanity, we will try to reduce unnecessary casualties..."
Precise positioning? Precise strike?
Everyone looked in shock.
A close-up shot appeared on the screen.
A missile flew out and accurately hit an Iraqi tank in the distance!
The fire exploded and the sand flew!
The tank was blown to pieces, but the oil factory not far away was not affected in any way...
In an instant, countless rockets like fireworks were shot out, lighting up the entire sky, like daylight, drawing beautiful arcs, and bombarding the torrent of tanks one by one!
Many tanks didn't even leave the base and were turned into powder along with the base!
This was the first large-scale war after World War II in which information technology was applied to land warfare!
Countless eyes around the world watched this war, and countless military experts were severely slapped in the face!
China, across the coast, was also shocked by this war, so it adjusted its military strategy and became another powerful country in the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union!
But Japan, which might have risen together, was crushed by the missile attack, which was as brilliant as fireworks!
The whole audience was stunned.
Even if they were noble ladies, how had they ever seen such an advanced battle scene?
Isn't a war like a war of guns and tanks, and a raging war?
Information interference, precision strikes, various high-tech equipment...
Common sense was overturned in an instant!
After confirming again and again, what I got was sharp knives being inserted into my heart.
The last half hour of closing.
Oil prices plummeted from 25.7 meters of gold per barrel, and ended at an appalling 23.1 meters of gold per barrel!
At its highest today, oil prices reached 30.9 meters of gold per barrel, but now they have plummeted by a full 7.8 meters of gold per barrel, which is more than the total decline in these days!
The most fascinating thing about futures is that it comes with leverage, which can leverage very small funds to leverage huge trading volumes. But the most terrifying thing is that it comes with leverage. If you are not careful, your position will be liquidated and you will lose all your money.
In comparison, some stock markets have a price limit protection mechanism, while futures can fall endlessly!
It even dropped to negative prices!
This is the coexistence of high risk and high return!
On September 12, WTI crude oil futures fell as much as 20.83% from opening to closing! Investors with five times leverage will face the risk of liquidation!
No matter how much they pray, plead, curse or curse, what is supposed to come will eventually come.
At this stage of the banquet, everyone no longer wanted to have fun. They all found good reasons and rushed home, preparing to use various connections to find out the reasons for the plummeting oil prices. They were destined to have no sleep tonight.
Miyazawa Kaoru, who was in a daze, looked at Kitahara Sosuke, who was always as calm as water, and suddenly woke up. This man was the only "idiot" who was short-selling. If he stopped selling at this price, he must have made crazy money, right?
At this time, Miyazawa Kaoru, who had completely lost interest in Kitahara Sosuke, suddenly became very curious about him again, and really wanted to know what his grandfather would say to him at the private dinner later.
The crowd dispersed, and when they passed Kitahara Sosuke, the financial tycoons were all embarrassed, but their eyes were more filled with envy for his lucky experience. People, when you are lucky, you can't stop it.
Under the guidance of the steward of the Miyazawa family, Kitahara Sosuke left the rooftop and came to an antique Japanese-style room on the top floor.
71-year-old Miyazawa Kiichi is sitting on the tatami, kneeling on the tatami, sipping sake. There are only a few delicious side dishes on the table. A Japanese maid leads Kitahara Sosuke in, then lays out the mat for him and pours the wine.
After that, he left silently and closed the door gently.
"Aosuke, as you said, the oil price has plummeted." Miyazawa Kiichi's voice was hoarse and tired, "I still can't figure out why you can be so sure that the oil price will plummet soon after the land war begins.
Plunge."
Kitahara Sosuke's original words at the time were, "Oil prices will fall. If they don't, I'll raise my head and see you!"
He has seen young people's determination and arrogance many times, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Kitahara Sosuke with a wolfish temperament, whose aura is not even inferior to his own.
He dared to risk his life on this matter! His confidence was extremely huge!
But those guys who said he was a "stupid idiot" and they were the real stupid idiot thought he was lucky and were confused by his series of acting skills. The comparison between the two made Miyazawa Kiichi sigh.
"Actually, it's just an information gap. Mr. Miyazawa, as you know, I went to the United States to short oil. During this period, I met a friend from the Soviet Union. Through his relationship, I discovered an interesting thing. During the Gulf War
Before the war started, the U.S. government secretly put its oil reserves into the oil market, which is why oil prices were still falling at the beginning of the war."
Kithara Sosuke paused and continued to laugh,
"At that time, I was very surprised as to why the U.S. government would do this. I couldn't figure out the reason, but I could guess a possibility."
"The U.S. government... is taking advantage of our national destiny!" Kiichi Miyazawa's voice was deep and powerful, with an indifferent expression on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
This is not impossible, but it is difficult for most people to accept and understand.
Why did the father kill his son?
But as long as we look at the problem from this perspective, many doubts can be easily solved.
During this Gulf War, Miyazawa Kiichi, one of the Big Three, was excluded from the core of power.
The Takeshita family has close ties with the consortium, has huge resources and connections, and has the largest number of attendees.
The Shintaro Abe family closely follows the government and the Ministry of Marine Affairs. As Foreign Minister, Shintaro Abe now lives a very nourishing life next to this big tree.
Only the Miyazawa family fell off the altar after he lost power, and they still relied on the Mitsubishi Consortium to succeed.
This has always been a pain in Miyazawa Kiichi's heart.
A few days ago, Kitahara Sosuke, a junior, suddenly asked to talk to him on the phone. Miyazawa Kimoto didn't take it seriously, but because of the Hashimoto family's reputation, he reluctantly talked to him for just three minutes.
Just these three minutes.
Looking back now, it has changed the fate of the Miyazawa family!
Kitahara Aoi's introduction was concise and comprehensive. First, it showed the results of the Gulf War and the Oil War. Second, he had enough means to deal with the Takeshita family.
These two events are of extraordinary significance. Together, they represent a more significant change, which is enough to overturn Japan's current political landscape!
If the oil price really explodes, then the Maritime Cabinet will be dismissed first, he will step down, and a new prime minister will have to take office.
The Big Three are still there, and the others have no qualifications.
If his biggest rival Noboru Takeshita is also damaged in this battle, and with Kitahara Sosuke's promise, his chances will increase!
The only one who has to deal with is Shintaro Abe, but Shintaro Abe is far less threatening than Noboru Takeshita, so why is he surrounded by Toshiki Kaifu now?
I have to admit that this junior Kitahara Sosuke understands his heart better than anyone else.
He is 71 years old, but his ambition is still there!
The withdrawal of part of the funds from the Gulf War was partly affirmed by Miyazawa Kiichi Kitahara Sosuke, and after today, he resolutely decided to get all the funds back before the day after tomorrow, as he said!
Oil prices will never rise again!
After looking at the young man in front of him for a long time, he sighed, not knowing what he was feeling. After a while, he calmly asked: "Aside from the conditions you mentioned on the phone, Aosuke, what else do you want?
"
"Everything I want is here. Sir Miyazawa, please take a look."
Kitahara Sosuke skillfully took out a thick document from his briefcase.
This is what he wants, condensed into four clear words -
Kitahara Foundation!
"Before that, I hope that Mr. Miyazawa will fulfill your promise. Akihabara, will you give it to me first as a supplement?"
Kitahara Sosuke smiled.
Smile brightly.
It was as if what he wanted to take away was just an ordinary street.
Miyazawa Kiichi looked at him silently, as if searching for some trace on him.
The Akihabara area of Chiyoda District is actually just an addition to the profit he wants!
"Okay!" Miyazawa nodded happily and reached out to take the stack of documents!
