In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

There is only one possibility - things are going to change!

Is it because of pressure from the United States?

Or is it the result of struggle among major financial groups?

Or is it that the inflation rate has reached a critical point and interest rates have to be raised to stop it?

Or is it because the fertility rate has reached a point where it cannot be stopped?

Nagano Nao walks out of Japanese life insurance!

The drizzle of rain fell on my face, and I secretly wondered...

Chapter 202 208-209 Chanting the Goose

late at night.

United States Washington.

In an ancient castle covering thousands of square meters.

The fragrance is lingering.

The maid slowly came over with a cup of steaming hot coffee and placed it in front of Alan Greenspan and Henry Alfred Kissinger who were playing chess.

There is a Go board on the table.

Two Goldman Sachs partners, John Weinberg and Warren Buffett, took the coffee and watched from the side.

Soon, Greenspan was at a disadvantage in the chess game and was surrounded by Kissinger. It was only a matter of time before he lost.

Know that there is no point in struggling.

Alan Greenspan said: "It looks like I'm going to lose this round again."

"The ice three feet thick does not form in a day.

It takes a long time to pile up earth to form a mountain.

Low birthrate, aging population, high inflation, declining spending power, long-term national debt pressure, rising social taxes and pensions, class conflicts, political party struggles, and corporate rivalries. The Japanese have few options to choose from with their intelligence.

Kissinger said as he picked up his coffee.

Although he did not mention the external factors such as the Cold War balance tilting, the US dollar can't wait to raise interest rates to drain blood from the world, and the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States due to Toshiba.

But everyone present was smart and knew that Japan had no choice at this time.

Politics has always been about open plots rather than conspiracies.

Moreover, when the Liberal Democratic Party merged in the 70s, it proposed to build a country based on science and technology, and to deal with aging through education and technological progress. At this moment when this problem urgently needs to be solved, if we continue to oppose it, we will be disregarding the future of the Yamato nation.

Even if Ryutaro Hashimoto knew that Yasushi Mieno's goal was not to solve the problem of an aging population, bursting the real estate bubble would not make the current environment better.

But justice is justice.

really.

Kissinger was right.

As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary came over in high heels and brought the latest news from across the ocean.

The Bank of Japan passed a 100-point rate hike two days later.”

None of the four people present looked surprised.

However, there are some troubles when it comes to how to break the unity among Japanese financial groups.

As George Soros wrote in The Alchemy of Finance, no country is as united as the Japanese, and they firmly believe that Japan will rise again and achieve glory.

This is a very scary spirit.

So.

Quantum Fund suffered heavy losses in the Japanese market, but still made a fortune by shorting the US dollar.

Morgan refused to accept the bad luck and lost billions of dollars. Salomon Brothers refused to accept the bad luck and is now negotiating with the Travelers Group about being acquired.

The entire Japanese market is controlled by a few large conglomerates, and it is a semi-closed market. It is extremely difficult to short the economy, expel capital, and absorb nutrients.

“No matter how strong a fortress is, it will always be broken from within.

Sun Tzu said: Power is the right to exercise authority based on benefits.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Therefore, if you can, you can show what you can't, if you use it, you can show what you don't use. If you are near, you show it's far.

Lure them with profit, seize them when they are in disorder, prepare for them when they are strong, avoid them when they are strong, frustrate them when they are angry, make them arrogant when they are humble, tire them when they are idle, separate them when they are close, attack them when they are least prepared, and surprise them when they are least expected.

(Excerpt from Sun Tzu’s Art of War. This book is a must-read in the American financial and political circles!)

"Japan is like a trapped beast. If there is no hope, they will fight like a trapped beast. But if there is hope, human nature will inevitably grab hope."

"Besides, a still strong Japan is in line with our interests in Asia..."

"..."

"How's things going in the Soviet Union?"

"Lithuania has already..."

"..."

Because of the time difference.

It was still daytime in Tokyo.

But there was a drizzle, and the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness, blocking the sun's rays. It looked gloomy and very depressing.

However, Nagano Nao was in a very good mood.

Things suddenly went smoothly.

Iida Yoko withstood all the pressure at the critical moment, and therefore the identity of the research institute was no longer a problem.

Not happy?

A little bit.

But there is no resentment or dissatisfaction.

As a chess piece, you must have the awareness of a chess piece. The other person is not your biological father, so it is normal to throw you out when he needs to.

Being able to bear the pressure again at this moment is the best care.

At least it shows that I am still very valuable!

Nagano Nao was in a rather rough mood.

I was almost forced to kneel down.

An investigation team moved in, a three-judge trial was held, and he was temporarily suspended from his post.

The Warning Department continued to cause trouble.

The pressure on me and the feeling of being insecure at any time are really terrible.

Ok!

Not just bad, but scary.

After entering this circle, he has already experienced the horror of this circle. If he takes a step forward, he will be promoted to a higher level, but if he takes a step back, he will be shattered to pieces.

If something happens to him, he can just stay in jail for a few years, but his house is coveted by countless hungry wolves. God knows what will happen to them when he gets out.

This has nothing to do with love!

As he grew up, Nagano Nao no longer believed in love.

However, humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

No matter how strange the relationship is, it cannot be cut off or sorted out, but in the end there will be an extra kind of concern, dependence, and attachment.

Now, most of the pressure from the Seibu Group has been borne by the company, and it feels like a stone pressing on us has been removed.

Squeak!

A sharp brake sound came into my ears.

Then a Toyota Crown stopped nearby.

The rain splashed up.

The brand new leather shoes and pants were also splashed with water stains.

"You idiot, you did it on purpose!" Nagano Nao cursed at the guy in police uniform in the car.

Sato Takeichi smiled and said, "Why did you say it out loud when you knew it was intentional? This will hurt our friendship."

"idiot!"

Cursing and cursing.

Nao Nagano got in the car.

A cigarette was handed over.

The blue box - Peace, the Emperor's favorite, is also the most expensive cigarette in Japan, 360 yen a pack.

It feels quite weird.

Kenichi Sato is a very stingy guy and never offers cigarettes to anyone.

"Have you made a fortune, kid?" Nagano Nao took the cigarette and asked casually.

Sato Kenichi chuckled, "Yeah! Hankyu has increased 1.5 times as of today. So, you must have made a lot of money, right?"

"Oops, I totally forgot about this!"

"Nani?"

Ignoring Sato Kenichi's doubts, Nagano Nao quickly picked up the phone and made a call, and soon Kurata Himiri's voice came over.

"Hiri, sell all your Hankyu shares, and then short sell Seibu Real Estate."

"Ha Yi! Master, are you... okay?"
