Chapter 213 Elite Gathering, Land War, Oil Prices Plummet!

September 12, 1990, 9 o'clock in the morning.

On the spacious road to Tokyo's Chiyoda District, the GT-R32 sports car sped along, attracting the attention of men and women on board the few other cars.

This kind of luxury car is still rare in Japan today. In the 1990s, private cars were not completely popular, and people preferred public transportation such as trams and subways.

Akina Nakamori's melodious and moving singing voice came from the car radio. As the song came to an end, the bustling downtown also appeared in front of Kitahara Sosuke.

Chiyoda District is the political and economic center of Japan. The Japanese Parliament, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the office buildings of various provinces and departments, the Supreme Court, etc. are all located here. In addition, most of the headquarters of the core clubs of the six major consortiums are also located in this area.

Japan has a small total land mass and a large population. Under such national conditions, Chiyoda District is unusually vast and sparsely populated. This shows that the residential land prices here are prohibitively high.

The core members of the Miyazawa family live in an ultra-high-end apartment building called "Haoyi Tenwa" near Tokyo Station.

In Chiyoda District, where land is extremely expensive, the Miyazawa family actually purchased an entire apartment building for their core members to live in. When he saw the unsightly luxury, Kitahara Sosuke suddenly felt that the Kitahara family's previous apartment in Minato District The villa complex is nothing.

With the current land price, Kitahara Sosuke estimates that it would cost tens of billions of yen to buy the Haoyi Tianhe apartment building. It is really extravagant.

After presenting the exquisite invitation, the respectful security guard guided Kitahara Sosuke with a half-bow to park the car in the exclusive parking space, and then took him downstairs to the apartment.

Two men in black sunglasses carefully inspected Kitahara Sosuke's belongings and pockets before bowing and letting them go.

The banquet was held on the rooftop of the apartment building.

The scenery here is excellent. Looking around, you can see countless famous landmark buildings in Chiyoda District, including the Tosan headquarters building that Kitahara Sosuke has visited before.

You can also feel the cool autumn breeze on the spacious rooftop. There are no protective measures around. An exquisite platform is built in the center, with musical fountains, colorful balloons, garland decorations, and lush and beautiful vegetation.

It is simply an open-air crystal palace.

The official start time of the party is 10 o'clock.

Kitahara Sosuke glanced at the Rolex in his hand. At 9:50, a lot of people gathered on the rooftop. It was roughly estimated that there were more than thirty people.

Before coming, through the introduction of the Hashimoto family, he had a brief three-minute phone call with Miyazawa Kiichi, where he explained some of his trump cards and demands, and then waited for Miyazawa Kiichi's reply.

Originally, the biggest trump card that Kitahara Sosuke had in his hand was the recording pen. By peeling off the silk and cocoons, he could also grasp a series of evidence of the Oyodo construction crime, but it was definitely not enough to deal a fatal blow to Takeshita Nobori.

It doesn't make much sense to bring down an Oyodo Construction, and at most add Taro Hamaka.

To please Miyazawa Kiichi, there must be interests that he can see.

Kim Sung-wook's torture failed to extract much useful information from Han Il-sung. At most, it was more complete criminal evidence, and Kitahara Aosuke did not lack this.

He originally thought that this negotiation would be difficult, but he didn't expect that a few days ago, Kikujiro's younger brother assigned to Dadoyo Construction gave him a big surprise.

Han Shanzi, who was supposed to be dealt with, was sent to Kitahara Sosuke's residence, and the conversation between Xu Yongzhong and Tanaka Moriichi provided by Han Shanzi made Kitahara Sosuke realize that the reason why Xu Yongzhong was confident and had such great power was because of him. He holds in his hands a "list" that is enough to threaten Noboru Takeshita!

Han Shanzi couldn't tell what the list was, and what was on the list. Kitahara Sosuke could vaguely guess, but there was no need to go into details. As long as he told Miyazawa Kiichi about this matter, he would have the qualifications to negotiate.

As he expected, Miyazawa Kiichi agreed to the request to meet after the banquet after a long silence.

At this time, financial tycoons from all over Japan were talking about current international affairs and future economic development with red wine. They were surrounded by many rich ladies with gorgeous looks and evening gowns. This combination usually appeared in pairs, which was extremely Bright.

Miyazawa Kiichi is one of the few politicians in Japanese politics who has successively held the four most important cabinet positions (Chief Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry). He was one of the three giants in the Liberal Democratic Party's Anzhu Palace era.

He is also the one with the closest relationship with the economic and financial circles among the three giants. He made the final decision on the Plaza Accord and the appreciation of the yen!

The Miyazawa family has many contacts with the banking industry, and is also the political family with the closest ties to the Mitsubishi Consortium. Miyazawa Kiichi's eldest son, Miyazawa Neti, once served as the vice president of Tosan for half a year, and his younger brother Miyazawa Hiroshi has a nephew, His name is Kishida Fumio (becomes Prime Minister in October 2021)!

The host of today's banquet is Miyazawa Haru's eldest daughter, Miyazawa Kaoru. She is 28 years old and currently works at the Tokyo Head Office of Japan Long-term Credit Bank as the deputy director of the Human Resources Department.

She is also Jitian Yuanzi's best friend.

There was a color TV set on the central platform of the banquet, playing TV news related to the Gulf War. A group of young financial tycoons were chatting, and the topic quickly shifted to crude oil futures.

Wearing a crimson evening dress, Miyazawa Kaoru held two glasses of red wine, smiled and said goodbye to a group of young financial elites who wanted to make friends with her. In their fiery eyes, she walked towards Kitahara, who was standing alone on the edge overlooking Chiyoda District. Aosuke.

"Kitahara Sosuke?"

A woman's soft and tender voice sounded in her ears.

Kitahara Sosuke withdrew his gaze from the electrical appliance street below and turned to look. The first thing that caught his eye was a glass of red wine. Through the transparent wine glass, he could see Miyazawa Kaoru's mature and charming appearance.

"Ms. Miyazawa, good morning." Kitahara Sosuke bowed slightly, took the red wine glass, touched it lightly with her, and took a sip.

He has met many girls from rich families, including the sisters from the Uchida family, Sonoko from the Kita family, and now Kaoru Miyazawa. Each has its own style, but without exception, they are indeed much better than ordinary girls.

They have the best educational resources, family background, and more than ten or twenty years of orthodox celebrity education, and they can always develop a unique temperament.

"As Sonoko said, you are handsome and charming. Have you met the sister of the Chino family?" Miyazawa Kaoru asked with a smile.

She doesn't have the unique edge of a strong woman like Kita Sosuke, giving Kitahara Sosuke a soft beauty, but underneath the softness, she is unabashedly charming.

This is a woman of pure lust.

"I haven't met her yet. Does Miss Miyazawa know her?"

Speaking of his fiancée, Kitahara Sosuke became a little more interested.

Kaoru Miyazawa shook his head with a wry smile: "I've been to Kyoto several times, but I've always been rejected."

Kitahara Sosuke smacked his tongue, his fiancée is really willful, even the eldest granddaughter of Miyazawa Kiichi would not give her face!

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and the topic was deliberately led by Miyazawa Kaoru to the Gulf War.

"I heard Sosuke that you are shorting crude oil futures in the United States?" Miyazawa Kaoru's voice was not loud, but it still attracted the attention of many people.

Kitahara Sosuke's "stupid" behavior is nothing new.

He exchanged 1.33 billion rice gold from Sanhe Bank and went to the United States to short-sell. He really made the right bet. Compared to shortly after the war started, oil prices still dropped a lot. Although his short-selling method was absurd, the money he made in his pocket was actual.

Many people secretly gathered around and stood not far away to eavesdrop. Now that the battle situation is like this, this guy should have taken action long ago, right?

"Yes, is Ms. Miyazawa also playing crude oil futures?" Kitahara Sosuke nodded.

Kaoru Miyazawa pursed his lips and said sweetly: "I'm not as good as you financial giants. I just use a little pocket money to buy whatever I want. Aosuke, you should have sold all the crude oil futures in your hands, right?"

"Sell? The lowest price hasn't been reached yet." Kitahara Sosuke looked at her doubtfully, "Don't Miss Miyazawa know, I'm short selling."

"puff!"

Some people couldn't help but laugh.

Is this guy really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

The financial giants on Wall Street have taken over the oil companies, and oil prices will inevitably rise. As we all know, once the land war begins, oil prices will usher in a terrifying surge.

At that time, maybe a 10% or 20% increase is possible!

If you haven't taken action yet, are you waiting to be liquidated?

Miyazawa Kaoru also had a look of astonishment on his face. When he heard his grandfather talking about this young man, even his always serious grandfather gently praised him for being "terrible". How could he be so stupid?

Has he not received the message from Mr. Takeshita yet?

Thinking about it, the Kitahara family is not really a wealthy family. After the separation incident, the total assets of the separated Kitahara Masao lineage can hardly even reach the threshold of a wealthy family in Tokyo.

It's normal not to get inside information.

But she heard that Kitahara Sosuke was an admitted member of Gekko Manor. Why didn't the people of Gekko Manor give him the news?

Miyazawa Kaoru was full of doubts. Considering her grandfather's evaluation of him and the subsequent secret meeting, she still approached Kitahara Sosuke and whispered in his ear: "Asuke, tonight, the multinational force will start a land war."

That’s all.

If he could understand, he should close his position now.

Miyazawa Kaoru thought so.

Then I noticed that Kitahara Sosuke had an "I knew it a long time ago" expression on his face, but still made no move.

Somewhat disappointed, Miyazawa Kaoru thought that her 71-year-old grandfather was old and confused, so he found an excuse and left Kitahara Sosuke to chat and laugh with other financial giants.

Kitahara Sosuke, who looked like a clown, stood quietly alone, looking at the electronics street called Akihabara not far below, with wild thoughts.

At this time, Akihabara has not yet become a two-dimensional tourist destination. It mainly sells home appliances. However, starting this year, with the popularity of computers, new-age electronic products will gradually occupy Akihabara and replace household appliances.

He did not participate in any clique chats, and was happy that no one bothered him, and he could eavesdrop on the conversations of those idiots.

As expected, all famous and wealthy families have joined the government and consortiums in the crude oil futures market. Perhaps Soros is sneering at these Japanese financial giants who are doing crazy long-term activities.

It’s a rare sight in a thousand years to see an entire country being fooled and still feeling complacent.

The atmosphere at the luncheon was lively, and the real-time oil price did as they wished, rising to 30.9 meters of gold per barrel!

Two days later will be the day when the Juliana Tokyo project will be officially completed. This 100-billion-dollar project was completed at such a fast speed largely due to Toshiki Kaifu’s urging.

He wants to complete this project quickly so as to add a significant achievement to his term of office.

17:00.

The TV station suddenly cut off the broadcast, and a war correspondent in the Gulf region of the Middle East appeared on the screen, saying in an excited tone: "According to the latest news, multinational forces have officially launched a ground attack, about 500 kilometers from the east to the border between Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia. Expand 5 attack groups to the west!"

here we go!

After 38 days of air combat, the multinational forces finally decided to land and confront the Iraqi army's most elite tanks and ground troops!

Reminiscent of World War I and World War II, a ground war of attrition that may last for several years has officially begun.

For countries in non-war areas, this kind of war will definitely bring benefits, it depends on how they grasp it.

The longer the war lasts, the greater the benefits.

The corners of Miyazawa Kaoru's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Kitahara Sosuke, who was alone behind the crowd.

She had revealed the news in advance, but unfortunately he was completely unconscious, so who could blame him?

Several young financial tycoons beside him were all smiles. Miyazawa Kaoru knew that they couldn't wait to show off themselves in front of some rich girls with big breasts and no brains, so they pretended to be shocked and asked sweetly: "Land War" If it starts, will it have an impact on crude oil prices?”

"Of course there will be!" A man replied with a smile, "Oil prices will fall sharply! The reason is simple. Kuwait's oil wells, oil production factories, and transportation factories are scattered all over the land. Once a land war starts, these places will inevitably be affected. The amount of oil A significant drop in oil prices will naturally cause a crazy rise in oil prices! Even the missiles of multinational forces may detonate those factories if they are not careful!"

"Of course, if the major corporations that control crude oil are willing to lower prices, they may be able to make the oil price rise less outrageous. Unfortunately, they have long been choked by Soros and others."

"Nothing can stop the crazy rise in oil prices anymore! Let's party! Cheers to our victory! To ours of going long!"

"cheers!!!"

The voices of young men and women echoed through the sky.

At this moment, Kitahara Sosuke's cell phone rang.

It's a call from the United States.

"I'm Kithara Sosuke, Romon?"

"Yes, it's me. I, I"

Romon was incoherent and couldn't say anything, but his tone had already made Kitahara Sosuke feel that something was happening.

Kithara Sosuke stood quietly behind the crowd, looking at the cheering crowd.

Let out a small breath.

“Oil prices dropped?”

"Real-time oil prices, am I dazzled? Miss Friedman, I'd rather you tell me and I'll take it easy."

30.9 meters gold per barrel was the price an hour ago.

At this time, the crowd was still immersed in the joy of the start of the land war, and no one paid attention to the inevitable skyrocketing oil prices.

"Hello, Kitahara Sosuke~ What do you think the gas price is now?"

"25.7 meters of gold per barrel! Just a second ago, it was still 30.6 meters of gold per barrel!"

There were endless roars, questions, and screams on the other side of the phone, which were in sharp contrast to Victoria's unique laughter.

"Really?" Kitahara Sosuke held his mobile phone, the breeze blew by, and the corners of his mouth raised. At this moment, his smile was reflected in the eyes of Miyazawa Kaoru who accidentally looked back.

It became a touching scene that she will never forget for the rest of her life!

The phone rings one after another, like the whisper of the devil, like the chanting of a curse, like the coming of the end of the world!

Snapped!

The wine glass in Miyazawa Kaoru's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

First there was deathly silence, and then the banquet venue was filled with "impossible" words one after another.

Just now, the young financial tycoon who was smiling and explaining to Miyazawa Kaoru about the impact of the Gulf War's land war on oil prices covered his chest, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground!
