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

"What?" Nagano Nao almost vomited blood. Such words sounded too weird.

"It's Sawaguchi Yasuko's new play, Farewell, Li Xianglan. Don't you think they look a lot like the devils who raided Huaxia City?"

"Can that be the same!"

"What's the difference? It's all about robbery anyway!"

"Makes sense!"

"You still say that it makes sense, but you are the leader of the Japanese! You evil guy!"

"You're taking it too far, Yuki! I'm a very cute little devil!"

"It's so cute! It would be so nice if I were a man!!"

Nagano Yuki said angrily that as a top student at the University of Tokyo, she should have received the same treatment, but because she was a woman, her best option was to take the civil service exam.

Nagano Nao smiled lewdly: "It's great to have a master as powerful as me!"

"Humph! Don't think you can bribe me like this! I, Nagano Yuki, will never be a slave!"

"Is it just food? Like ham, eggs and milk?"

"You big pervert, you big pervert! Straight man, if you keep being so perverted, I will ignore you!"

"..."

talking.

Nagano Yuki blushed and ran away quickly.

Nagano Nao chuckled and said, he hasn't bought anything properly for them yet, so let's go on a big shopping spree today!

Huh?

Why are there a group of people buying things over there?

On another street not far away.

There were also hundreds of people in the huge army, some of whom were wearing kimonos and were obviously Japanese.

Nagano Nao took a closer look.

They are still acquaintances.

The person accompanying him is Yoshiaki Shingo, the president of Hankyu Holdings, along with his subordinates and a large group of family members.

"Ah, it's President Nagano?! What a coincidence, I actually met you here."

"President Jiming is also traveling to Germany?"

"Yeah! We always go to Hawaii three times a year. We want to try something new."

"What a coincidence!"

"..."

They are all acquaintances.

Everyone started chatting together.

But women have no manners at all. They flock to various stores to buy things. They buy whatever they see, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it!

This way.

A magical scene occurred in a luxury store on the street in Frankfurt.

Normally, five people were needed to serve one customer and help the customer take off their shoes and put on their shoes, but now there are not enough people.

"Ms. Yuki has such great skin. Cartier's latest limited edition diamond and emerald necklace must be very suitable for your temperament."

“Paired with a pair of new earrings from Van Cleef & Arpels, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.”

"Mrs. Nagano has such a great figure. Louis Vuitton's new mink coat is definitely a perfect match for your temperament."

"I think if my wife wears Queen Elizabeth's hat, she will look more charming."

"..."

Stroll until night.

The huge army left.

Nagano Nao asked someone to pay the bill and shook his head secretly.

Just one afternoon.

I actually met three groups of acquaintances.

First I met Yoshiaki from Hankyu, then I met a president of Canon whom I had met at a cocktail party before, and then the president of a subsidiary of Nagoya Toyota. Because of family reasons, I had to say hello to him.

The shelves in all the major stores on the street are already empty.

Because there were so many people, buying whatever they saw, all these stores were ransacked, and it was all done by the Japanese.

too crazy!

It's too frank.

I thought what I saw in the news later were all jokes, such as Japan buying 70% of the world's European luxury goods and jewelry. Now that I have experienced it myself, I realize how outrageous this era is!

This is the last madness of the bubble era!!

It's just like the Japanese invaders entering the village!

......

"Nagano-kun, have you ever considered buying a house here? It's only 3,000 marks per square meter, and it's a villa. It's really a good deal."

"Ah! Jiming-kun wants to buy a house in Germany?"

"Yes! It's not very convenient to stay in a hotel during the winter. The manor next to the Rhine River is quite good. There are only more than 30 houses. I want to buy it."

More than thirty sets?

Are you addicted to real estate speculation?!

Nao Nagano originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that Germany was about to merge, real estate prices would soar, and the mark would continue to appreciate. This was indeed a good opportunity to invest.

"Ji Mingjun has a good vision. The German mark has been appreciating in value. It is really a good time to invest in German real estate."

"Great minds think alike, indeed. Since Nagano-kun thinks so, how about we work together?"

“…”

Chapter 241 The Bubble is About to End

Such a proposal.

Nagano Nao was quite moved.

For a long time, Germany has been like an indestructible cockroach, fighting again and again and being defeated again and again.

After being beaten badly in World War I, the Second World War came back again. He thought he was starting off as a king, but ended up being nothing but scrap metal and was beaten badly again.

As a defeated country, Germany knelt down again after the end of World War II and was divided into two countries by the East and West camps - Democratic Germany and Federal Germany.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure in turn affects the economic base.

As the birthplace of Marxist economics, as if it was destined, with the development of the global situation and the outbreak of the Cold War, East and West Germany became the front line of the European front.

But today, as civilization evolves, nuclear weapons have forced humanity's struggle to become more civilized.

Economic war and financial war have naturally become new means of warfare.

In order to contain the Soviet Union, suppress the economy and cause changes in the economic base, just like the situation in the East, the Federal Republic of Germany received support from the entire Western camp and its economy and financial industry developed rapidly.

It is also in this context.

The foreign ministers of the six countries signed two treaties in Rome to establish the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, namely the Treaty of Rome, and later signed the Treaty of Brussels, deciding to unify the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community, collectively known as the European Community.

Subsequently, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Spain and Portugal successively joined the European Community, the predecessor of the European Union.

In some ways, it makes sense for a strong country to become a weak country, and it also makes sense for a strong country to become a strong country again.

Like Japan, the defeated country, Germany faced a lot of war reparations after the war, scorched land everywhere, and an economy in tatters.

But obviously, both defeated countries understood that a strong youth means a strong country.

It was almost the same choice. As the economy had just recovered a little, both countries made the same choice, dual-track education reform.

That is, enterprises and vocational colleges divide the work and cooperate to allow young people to learn technology and improve the social status of technicians at the same time.

Students graduating from ordinary high schools can choose their future career direction according to their interests, while enterprises guarantee the income and status of technicians and achieve division of labor and development.

This education reform, known as Germany's post-war "secret weapon", not only determined the transformation of Germany's social system, but also made Germany one of the European powers again.

Because there are enough talents in the basic manufacturing industry and relying on a strong industrial base, the mark has also become the third largest currency in the world.

In this situation, although the European Community's headquarters is in Belgium, the Mark is too strong and Deutsche Bank has the implicit status of the European Community's central bank.

After the Plaza Accord, according to the agreement, Germany and Japan assumed the responsibility of appreciating their currencies to correct the overvaluation of the US dollar.

Therefore, like the Japanese yen, the German mark appreciated within five years and became one of the major currencies after the US dollar and the Japanese yen.

However, during the years of division between East and West Germany, there was a huge economic gap, with West Germany's GDP and per capita income being several times higher than those of East Germany.

I remember that when the two Germanys merged, the two German marks were exchanged at a one-to-one ratio. In order to make up for the gap in regional economic levels, achieve rapid integration, and reduce social unrest caused by the huge economic gap, after the merger of the two Germanys, the Deutsche Bank implemented an easy monetary policy and frantically injected money into the currency, making Germany the number one economic power in Europe in just a few years.

Then the mark rose again, and house prices in major cities rose together.

buy house?

You can earn foreign exchange and also profit from appreciation.

What a huge profit!

There was no hesitation.

Nao Nagano agreed to Yoshiaki Shingo's proposal.

However, while the two were talking, they did not notice that the ministers behind them were looking at them with eyes that were more cunning than the last.

Both presidents have very strong backgrounds, especially President Nagano, who became the president of Osaka Asset Management right after graduating from university. His background must be very powerful.

There must be some inside information to make such news about buying a house in Germany!
