The study room of a villa in the Takeshita family in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
"Dengdengdeng——"
Rapid and powerful footsteps came from outside the study.
Takeshita, who was sitting alone in front of the chessboard, took the white piece in his hand and did not drop it. After hesitating for a long time, he gently put it back in the chess box beside him.
The study door was pushed open.
With a look of joy on his face, Takeshita Nobu quickly walked to him and knelt down in front of him. He said with a smile: "Father, the restriction on the exchange of rubles for Japanese yen is officially lifted today! I learned from friends at the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance that,
The Diet has approved Minister Hashimoto's proposal, and from today onwards, rubles can be converted into yen at all major banks."
"Have you finally let go?" Takeshita Noboru's face showed no joy, but instead became more gloomy.
Takeshita Nobu noticed his expression and asked doubtfully: "Father, what's the problem? This is a great good thing for us. No matter how Russia changes in the future, at least the 696 billion rubles we have on hand can slowly
If we redeem it and wait until the end of the year, what will Kitahara Sosuke have to fight with us?"
In his opinion, the bet is still going on, and Kitahara Sosuke has no chance of winning at all.
The August 19th Incident indeed had a great impact on the Takeshita family. All their business in Moscow was cut off. Because they had previously cooperated with Vinogradov to control the Moscow financial market and the necessities market, now that the radicals are in power, the Takeshita family has also completely lost
The possibility of doing business in Russia.
The ruble continues to depreciate. If they convert it into Japanese yen as soon as possible, their profits will be higher. Of course, these 696 billion rubles are definitely a height that Kitahara Sosuke cannot reach.
"At the end of the year..." Noboru Takeshita sighed. He was vaguely aware of Kitahara Sosuke's layout and thoughts, but there were some things he still couldn't figure out.
He originally thought that Kitahara Sosuke would join forces with Hashimoto Ryutaro to block the exchange port, so that by the end of the year, who knows what price the ruble would fall to. As long as the ruble continued to depreciate, the Takeshita family's profits from this business would continue to decline.
This should be the safest and best way to deal with it.
Moreover, after the August 19th Incident, the Takeshita family no longer had the opportunity to go to Russia to make money, and their business was almost over.
Those businesses in Japan are completely unable to compete with the Kitahara clan and are not worth mentioning.
But why, at this point in time, would he suddenly let go of the restrictions?
It coincided with Ye Lijin's speech to stabilize people's hearts. This was too inappropriate.
Even if it were to be released, if Noboru Takeshita were him, he would have to wait until around December before the restrictions are lifted.
"Axin, can you contact the consortium in the United States?" Takeshita Nobu asked calmly.
Takeshita Nobu nodded, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Noboru Takeshita asked him to ask the American consortium for its views on the August 19th Incident and its analysis of the future situation of the bear.
Whether it's experts, politicians, or Wall Street financial giants, they all have the same point of view.
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
It doesn't collapse so quickly.
After taking this reassurance, Takeshita Noboru's face became slightly rosier.
"Perhaps I have thought too much. I have fought against Kitahara Sosuke so many times, and I have unknowingly deified him too much. In fact, he is just an ordinary person."
Noboru Takeshita picked up another white stone.
It falls at Tianyuan.
...
Nagoya, Sumitomo Bank Head Office Building.
Ichiro Kita looked at the pile of forms in front of him to apply for the exchange of rubles for Japanese yen, rubbed his head, and felt a little embarrassed.
Some time ago, the Kanto community dispersed a large amount of rubles to lower-level financial institutions. At the same time, the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance suddenly closed the exchange ports, resulting in a large number of financial institutions unable to circulate funds, plus various bad debts left over from the bubble economy period.
, these financial institutions were almost finished.
As the leader of the Bank of Japan Association and a local leader in Nagoya, Sumitomo Bank naturally has to assume the responsibility of distributing relief funds to lower-level institutions.
However, after several confrontations with Kitahara Sosuke and losses during the Great Depression, the Sumitomo Foundation was also stretched thin and did not have much money left.
If he watched the collapse of financial institutions all over his home base in Nagoya, Ichiro Katita, a financial giant like the president of Tokyo Kyoto Bank, the president of the Association of Banks of Japan, and the president of Sumitomo Bank, would definitely be discredited.
It was at this time that the exchange restrictions were lifted again!
"Kitahara Sosuke, what on earth are you playing?" Ichiro Kita was puzzled, but at least it was a good thing.
Rather than lending to those financial institutions in vain, it is better to eat their rubles, so that Sumitomo Bank will not suffer huge losses.
If you give them a loan, there is basically no possibility of paying it back.
During the Great Depression, the local clubs in Nagoya were in shambles, and they couldn't compare with the equally famous Osaka. I had dinner with several Nagoya City council members in the morning, and they kept complaining, hoping that the Sumitomo Foundation could lend a hand to the government and some local people.
company.
"Speaking of which, it was my imagination to let Hamaka Taio deal with Kitahara Sosuke. Even though he was charged with murdering his son, Hamaka Taio didn't do much." Ichiro Kita began to think about a new strategy.
The Sumitomo Foundation has always been on the opposite side of Kitahara Sosuke. The two sides are considered real enemies. However, there are no eternal enemies in the business world, only eternal interests. If you send your daughter Kita Sonoko away, will it be possible to win over that young man?
...
The original fiancée of Sonoko Katsita had also chosen Takeshita Nobu from the Takeshita family, but because political marriages were more likely to be favored by wealthy political families, the Takeshita family chose Kaoru Miyazawa from the Miyazawa family.
However, I heard that Miyazawa Kaoru strongly opposed it, and later the matter was inexplicably dropped.
"The Takeshita family and the Kitahara family have a life-and-death bet. The six major financial groups are watching and waiting for the result. I can only choose one of them." Ichiro Kita frowned.
One is an upstart wealthy family that has just emerged, and the other is an established, well-established political family. It’s really hard to choose.
At this time, the phone rang.
"I am Ichiro Kita."
"Uncle Jitian, I'm Ashin, Takeshita Nobu, that's it. I heard from Brother Hamanaka that Sumitomo has also relaxed its ruble exchange restrictions..."
"That's about it. I want to exchange 396 billion rubles from Sumitomo Bank. I know this number is too big, so after discussing with my father, I decided to give you 96 billion as a handling fee, and the remaining 300 billion will be paid as a minimum.
Exchange rate, how about 28 trillion yen?”
At Tainan Hamanaka's house.
The two of them stood in front of and behind Sakurai Keiko, blocking Sakurai Keiko's front and back.
Putting down the phone, Takeshita Nobu was sweating profusely and in a happy mood: "Thank you, Brother Hamanaka, President Ji Tian agreed!"
"Haha, it's a trivial matter. As for the copper futures, Takeshita brother must remember to help me lobby with Sumitomo Corporation." Hamanaka Taio chuckled, laughing face to face with Takeshita Nobu.
Sakurai Keiko, who was blocked in front and back, secretly remembered their conversation and prepared to report it to her superior, President Mieko Sakai.
