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

A bunch of idiots seriously discussed the sale of the Statue of Liberty.

of course.

There is also demand for housing investment.

During the entire bubble era, everyone experienced the appreciation of real estate and became particularly interested in investing in real estate.

What about Manhattan?

As the financial center of the United States, housing prices here are now only over one thousand dollars per square meter.

In total, it is less than one-fifth of the price of real estate in Tokyo.

natural.

This group of people started to pay attention again.

Nagano Nao was enjoying the rare beautiful scenery, but his mood was completely ruined when he heard these idiots.

Buy and buy!

All you do all day is shopping, don’t you know that it makes people hate you?

"Mr. President! What do you think of investing in real estate in Manhattan at this time? It's really cheap! All the major financial groups are purchasing assets here!"

Seto Shinnosuke asked for advice with a sly look in his eyes.

I have to say, this guy has a good vision to become the director of the Securities Investment Department.

It does not consider economic issues, income issues, or even analyze any fundamentals. It only talks about the strategies of major financial groups and follows behind.

In this respect, I am much smarter than many people.

History has long proven that before the times change dramatically, large conglomerates have a much longer-term vision than ordinary people.

"It's a good time to buy Manhattan real estate at the bottom right now. If you want to do it, you can go and have a look."

"Then shall we go now?"

"You guys go ahead, I have someone else to meet later."

"..."

A group of devils from Seto and the company went out to raid the place in the snow and wind, while Okamoto Kozhi and a few others stayed in the Empire State Building as temporary bodyguards.

Boom!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Okamoto Xiaozhi took out his gun, loaded it, and stood outside the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me! Bei Dao!"

Open the door.

A man in a windbreaker stood at the door.

Okamoto Xiaozhi said excitedly: "Kitajima-kun! Why are you here!!"

This is obviously nonsense.

He was ordered by Naoyoshi Nagano to go to Su Mao, and suddenly appeared in the United States. Of course, it was because he received the order from Naoyoshi Nagano.

Not wanting to bother with Okamoto Kozhi, this idiot, Kitajima Masao came over and bowed deeply: "Sir! Kitajima is late!"

"It's okay!" Nagano said, motioning for Kitajima to sit down: "What's the situation over there?"

"Those Russians are greedy guys. They asked us to get an American citizenship for his whole family, plus a manor and three million dollars."

"These are all minor issues. What about the money?"

"I agree to approve the 1 billion ruble investment loan, but please forgive me for being blunt, sir, the ruble is a currency that cannot be circulated in the market and can only be invested in the Soviet Union. To us, it is no different from waste paper."

"..."

Once upon a time, it was the Internet age.

There is a widely circulated story.

The Americans used an evil conspiracy to short the ruble and plundered the Soviet Union of tens of trillions of assets and wealth.

And the name of this story is - Wanta Project.

However, in fact, such a thing is impossible to happen, just like Wall Street could not make money by shorting the Japanese stock market. In the Soviet Union, Wall Street could not make a penny.

Because the monetary unit in the usual sense has financial attributes.

This kind of financial attribute can be circulated and exchanged throughout the world without any restrictions and is only related to market supply and demand.

But today, during the Cold War, the ruble does not have financial attributes. It is not even money in the usual sense. Therefore, the ruble has always been called the accounting ruble rather than a monetary unit.

The so-called "bookkeeping ruble" can be legally exchanged for gold at an equivalent value, but in reality it cannot be freely exchanged for gold, nor can the ruble be withdrawn. Even if the law allows it, no one dares to do so.

Its only function is to reconcile accounts at the Warsaw Pact Economic and Trade Council, but it does not have any financial or monetary attributes.

For example, if an East German company produced 10,000 color televisions, and the price given by CMEA for each color television was 200 rubles, then the East German company would have 2 million rubles on its CMEA bill.

At this time, a Soviet company produced one hundred cars, and the price of each car was set at two thousand rubles.

Then on the CMEA bill, the Soviet company would have 200,000 rubles, so the Soviet company could import 1,000 televisions, and the East German company could import 100 cars, so the Soviet company's money on the CMEA bill would be zero rubles.

The East German company still had 1.8 million rubles on its bills, without any financial activity involved.

Simply put, the "bookkeeping ruble" is essentially a token of value for barter trade.

Exchange dollars for gold?

Short?

Something that is simply impossible.

The Soviet State Bank was extremely perverted in its foreign exchange controls. There was some circulation in the black market, but only a small amount of funds could be exchanged, and there was no large-scale circulation at all.

There is no such thing as making money by borrowing rubles and paying them back when they depreciate in the future.

“You think I want to short the ruble?”

"Ah! Isn't that what your Excellency wants to do?"

"Of course! You're not so stupid that you don't even know what the most valuable thing in Maozi is!"

"They don't seem to have anything?!"

Kitajima Masao said with a bewildered look on his face.

industry?

Talent?

technology?

In today's Japan, except for the military industry, the heavy industry that the Russians are proud of is all garbage, and other industries are completely worthless.

Compared with heavy industry?

Mitsubishi's technology is top-notch in the world.

car?

Toyota and Honda also dominate the world.

Apart from military industry, the Russians really have nothing good for Japan, and military industry is meaningless to Nagano Nao.

So Kitajima Masao really doesn't understand what Nagano Naoto likes about the Russian family, and why he goes to so much effort to bribe and invest in them.

"Bei Dao! Think bigger, understand? Money is essentially just a symbol of resource allocation. Although we cannot move the ruble offshore, we can invest in cooperation with those bigwigs and help them realize their wealth. Isn't this an opportunity?"

"But these are not worth much!"

"Idiot! Market prices are never determined by demand. Just keep doing what I say."

"..."

Chapter 255: The Strength of the Chinese

The United States in the early 1990s.

The entire economic system is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

The real estate industry is an unpopular investment among unpopular ones, and its cheapness is unbelievable.

Even an iconic building like the Empire State Building has a market value of only $4000 million, while an average manor house can be easily purchased for $.

Household registration status will make it easier.

You can obtain legal status as an investment immigrant through any investment project.

It only took three days.

One of the estates was owned by a Jew named Ivan Arsenievich Vinogradov.

Looking at the other person's photo, Nagano Nao shook his head secretly.

In the near future, 90 percent of the oligarchs in the Big Mao and the Second Mao will be Jews.

Are these people smarter?

of course not!

If a person can completely abandon moral bottom line, national sentiment, and national feelings, making money will definitely be much easier than others.

But most people are bound by cultural constraints and cannot help but feel emotional about their homeland, and it is difficult for them to abandon their moral bottom line.

The Jews, who have no concept of nation, do not have such concerns, so it is naturally easier for them to make money.

Perhaps decades ago no one would have thought that in the near future, the wealth accumulated by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years would be plundered by these people.

Mao would never have imagined that the massacre of the Jews would lead to decades of endless exploitation and retaliation even if they were later accepted.

There is nothing that cannot be sold!

If Stalin were still alive, he would definitely regret it!!

Farewell Kitajima Masao.

Nao Nagano did not stay long and went to Goldman Sachs.
