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

"Yes!" Nagano Nao put down the teacup and said calmly.

A tone of certainty.

Rogers tried hard to control the muscles on his face so as not to laugh out loud.

What is oil?

Industrial blood?

yes.

There is no doubt that oil is an irreplaceable energy source in the world and is the real blood of industry.

But the price of blood can be very expensive or very cheap.

To know.

After experiencing two oil crises and skyrocketing oil prices, the US government, as the world's largest oil importer, almost went bankrupt twice. Everyone has had enough of the economic crisis and social unrest brought about by the skyrocketing oil prices.

Therefore, in the 1980s, with the support of the Republican Party led by Rockefeller, the US military arrived in the Middle East. After these years of operation, oil prices continued to fall.

But this is far from enough.

As America's greatest enemy, the threat posed by Mao Zedong surpassed everything.

What is economy?

Consumption and production.

currency?

A symbol for resource allocation.

Su Mao has inestimable oil and natural gas reserves, giving this bear terrible power and potential.

The only way to defeat the Soviet-Maoist regime is to destroy its economic system.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure.

As long as there are problems in the Soviet-Mao economy, there will naturally be problems internally.

just now.

It was a critical moment in the East-West Cold War.

At this time, hitting oil prices and gradually destroying the vitality of the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong to boil the frog in warm water is a common strategy of the United States and Europe.

How could oil prices possibly go up?

Kuwait is expanding its production, Saudi Arabia is expanding its production, and both major OPEC oil-producing countries are expanding their production. In order to avoid having their market share taken away, other countries have no choice but to expand their production together.

In this way, the scale of supply expands, and the factor of supply and demand determining prices comes into being.

Naturally, oil prices will only continue to fall.

But this little Japan in front of us actually proposed to bet against Goldman Sachs on oil prices.

God!

Are these little Japanese going crazy because of their swellness?

Still think that you can decide the price of oil!

Rogers covered it up well.

But from the strange look on his face, Nagano Nao certainly knew what this guy was thinking.

It can be said.

In this era, no one supports rising oil prices.

In addition to the international situation, the economic situation is also very bad.

Whether it is Europe or the United States, finance, manufacturing, real estate, unemployment, or bankruptcy, no one knows which one will come first.

It is precisely because of the bad economy that Japanese cars have become popular all over the world.

Just one reason.

It is cheap, durable, and the most fuel-efficient car. You can save a little money every time you fill up the gas tank.

But some things always lead to unexpected events due to human uncertainty.

Even as the world's number one superpower today, many things are not completely under the control of the United States.

At this time.

Rogers bit his tongue hard and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being frank, this seems to be a very stupid investment. I think you are also aware of the current global economic situation. It is a very bad time now."

"I am only concerned about whether my counterparties will be unable to afford the losses and unplug their network cables when oil prices skyrocket."

What?

Worried about Wall Street's solvency?

Are you stupid? !

This is Wall Street!

As a global financial center, we influence the world situation and one action determines the world economy. It is foolish to see the increase in oil prices, but you still doubt our solvency?!

In this world, no one has dared to discriminate against the United States like this since World War II!

Except Japan!

It's bad enough that they keep talking about buying the United States, but they also openly say that Americans are an inferior and lowly nation.

Now a small minister of an insurance company has such a hateful look!

It's simply too much of a lie.

Damn little Japan!

What’s so great about having money!

Rogers felt insulted.

But the customer is God, and an investment of 50 million US dollars is a financial offer that the company cannot refuse.

Stupid guy.

You will soon be punished for this stupidity and arrogance.

With such self-comfort.

John Rogers forced a smile and said, "Mr. Nagano, please rest assured. Wall Street is a financial center with a good reputation. How could it do such a thing? If the price of oil rises as you expect, I guarantee that you will get the profit you deserve."

"That's the best. I still have great faith in Goldman Sachs' strength. Let's continue our pleasant cooperation."

"..."

A series of cooperation agreements were signed.

After confirmation.

Nao Nagano left Goldman Sachs with his secretary and staff.

Looking at the backs of these people.

John Rogers spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Damn Japan is too arrogant, why are there always such arrogant guys!"

"John, stop complaining. If you go to Japan, you will know how hateful these bastards are! Can you imagine taking a thousand dollars out of a taxi and being looked down upon and frowned upon by the drivers?"

"Walter? How could this happen!"

"That's the truth. When I went to Tokyo before, I was looked down upon by those taxi drivers. What's even worse is that when I wanted to go out and find a girl, they wouldn't even serve me!"

"Oh my! Don't all their ladies like money?"

"If you are willing to spend $10,000 and go to a place like Kabuki Ichibancho, you will be treated well, but it's like going to a nigger gathering area and looking for the lowest-class girls, which will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Are you willing?"

"Fuck. If it weren't for the United States, how could these little Japanese be so rich? This time, I will definitely make this bastard lose everything."

"I hope so! These little Japanese are really abominable! What's so great about having money?"

"..."

What’s so great about having money?

Ok!

It's really amazing to be rich.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Seto Shinnosuke’s brain.

I actually want to buy the Statue of Liberty.

What's worse is that this guy actually contacted the owner of a computer company and went to the New York State Government.

Five hundred million dollars!

Because I gave too much.

Many people feel worried about this.

When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and some people even exclaimed: The country is suffering the greatest humiliation since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

And as early as a month ago.

The famous New York Times publicly expressed its concerns, saying: "All the eye-catching assets have been purchased by Japan, and one day Japan will acquire the Statue of Liberty."

There was a lot of discussion among the people.

Due to nationwide opposition, the US government ultimately did not approve the acquisition plan.

But many people still angrily curse that the United States has become a colony of Japan.

a new day.

Because the plan to acquire the Statue of Liberty failed, Seto Shinnosuke looked a little frustrated: "Oh! It's such a pity that they don't even plan to sell it."

Nagano Nao was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, but his eyes stayed on Tanaka Takahisa, who was about the same age as him.

This is the friend that Seto Shinnosuke knows, the chairman of Toshiba Computer Corporation. He is 27 years old, but his net worth is already 120 billion US dollars, which is ten times higher than that of Buffett.

"Why would Mr. Tanaka suddenly want to buy the Statue of Liberty? The United States will definitely not sell this iconic building that symbolizes freedom!"

"Nagano-kun, don't you think it would be a great sense of accomplishment to buy the Statue of Liberty and place it at the foot of Mount Fuji, and then wear a kimono?"
