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

Tanaka Takahisa said this with great regret, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Full of seriousness.

Nagano Nao suddenly felt that he might never figure out what was going on in these guys' minds!

What kind of train of thought would lead to the idea of ​​buying the Statue of Liberty?

'Is there any hope for these idiots?!'

Chapter 275: We Can't Let the Inferior Americans Pollute Our Bloodline

I don't quite understand why these guys have to target the Statue of Liberty.

It clearly has no appreciation value.

Because of other things, Tanaka Takahisa had lunch with Naoio Nagano and left the United States with regret.

Send this guy away.

Nagano asked curiously, "How do you know this guy Tanaka, Seto?"

"Well...it was because of a club activity that I had the honor of meeting this gentleman!" Seto Shinnosuke said, his expression of pride and luck overflowing, and his eyes had a kind of obscene look.

obviously.

The club this guy is talking about is not a serious place.

But it's just for fun.

In the past, Japan was like China, with all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, and a strict class system. The ceiling for one's future was determined by the family one was born into.

It was not until the outbreak of the Black Ship Incident that the samurai retreated from the world, Fukuzawa Yukichi fiercely criticized the corrupt bureaucratic thinking of Confucianism, founded universities, broke the class monopoly of the nobility, and ordinary people had a chance to come forward. A large-scale talent spurt occurred, and Japan became a great power in the Second Industrial Revolution.

But even so, the fact that we can see the ceiling from birth has not changed.

Just like the presidents of major political parties and the official cabinet, it seems like a democratic election with everyone voting, but those who can come to power are actually from a few major political families, and all of them have strong relationships with the major Chinese ethnic groups.

The same is true in business.

It is possible for an ordinary person to become a wealthy man if he has talent, but it is simply impossible to become worth tens of billions without the involvement of bureaucratic capital.

Tanaka Takahisa was worth tens of billions of dollars at the age of 27. In addition to his own outstanding abilities, he seized the opportunity of the computer boom, which was also closely related to Kakuei Tanaka.

This guy who calls himself the civilian prime minister is not simple at all.

The fact that Mitsubishi Bank President was able to become the Governor of the Bank of Japan was inseparable from him. And today, the almost fierce struggle between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan is also inseparable from this civilian Prime Minister.

At that time, Prime Minister Sato Eisaku and Finance Minister Tanaka Kakuei were on bad terms. Sato intervened and directly appointed his confidant Usami Jun as President of the Bank of Japan.

Usami Shun was neither a direct descendant of the Bank of Japan nor from the Ministry of Finance, which naturally caused dissatisfaction from both the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank.

Kakuei Tanaka and then-Vice President of the Bank of China, Naoto Sasaki, formed an alliance and conspired to establish a "reciprocal personnel system", whereby the president of the Bank of China would be parachuted in from their direct subordinates and the Vice Minister of Finance.

Every five years, the President of the Bank of Japan abdicates and is succeeded by the Vice President. Since there is only one Vice President, it is equivalent to "establishing a crown prince."

On the surface, this system is fair to both the central bank and the Ministry of Finance.

But in fact, this is not the case. For the central bank, this system is equivalent to determining the time of taking office. Therefore, the "crown prince" can be selected in advance, the succession sequence can be determined, and the consistency of established policies can be ensured.

The rotating officer of the Ministry of Finance is simply unable to do this because he is parachuted in and can easily be sidelined.

It is precisely because of this rotation system that the Princes of Yen are used to describe the direct successors of the central bank, and the Ministry of Finance's airborne troops have more or less become a laughing stock.

It can be said.

It was precisely because of this move made by Kakuei Tanaka that the seeds were sown for the fierce struggle between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank today.

Now that the central bank president Yasushi Mieno and the Tanaka family are able to unite and save Ozo from trouble everywhere, it is also due to such cause and effect and fate.

So, just listen to what Seto Shinnosuke says.

Rank is not something that can be said casually.

Life is human.

Your fate is determined by the family you are born into and the people you know.

Ordinary people will never have the chance to meet the Chinese in their entire lives. Even if they do, they probably don’t know them. With Seto’s background, his career has ended with him becoming just a small minister.

What is Tanaka Takahisa's status and what is his status? The two are completely unrelated. Is it possible that they can go to the club together to cause trouble?

But this guy was able to not only contact Tanaka Takahisa, but also convince the other party to come to the United States to acquire the Statue of Liberty. There is definitely something wrong.

In all likelihood, he was bribed and planted as an undercover spy next to him.

But for things like this, it's better to just know it.

It is precisely because of the promotion of personnel relations that Japanese society is a conglomerate and a country, where you are in me and I am in you.

Just like Iida Yoko knew that he was being seduced and bribed, Hashimoto Ryutaro also knew that he was being set up, but he would not be hostile.

If you were really exposed, you would be in trouble.

Not wanting to find out who bought this guy, Nagano Nao casually took over and said, "So that's how it is! Why would he want to buy something like the Statue of Liberty, which is not a valuable investment?"

"We were drinking together before, and he said he was annoyed that he had no place to spend his money, and then..."

"Then I said that the Statue of Liberty has a nice figure and it would be nice if she put on a kimono and put it in the house."

"He agreed just for this?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Ha ha.

It’s annoying to have no place to spend money!

Nima!

Is it that my vision is too narrow, or is it that these idiots don't take money seriously?

But when you think about the fact that Tanaka is worth $120 billion, more than ten times more than Buffett, you suddenly feel that your own situation has been hit hard.

Nagano-kun, you should work harder!

People born in the Chinese race have plenty of resources and can cheat. They are even worse than the natives. They are stingy all day long. If they don't work hard to spend money, they will bring shame to the time travelers.

With this thought.

After driving Seto Shinosuke away, Nagano Naoichi pulled his secretary Kurata Himiri into the car.

time Square.

The densely packed skyscrapers and LCD advertising screens combine to create the facial features and figures of popular stars.

Colorful neon lights are flashing, beautiful women in cool clothes can be seen everywhere, luxury cars from all over the world, and the hustle and bustle of life present a prosperous scene.

Even though the global economy is in a historical downturn and the US finances are on the verge of collapse, here, it is still full of decadence and glamour.

As the most prosperous neighborhood in New York.

It is surrounded by supermarkets and world-class luxury stores.

Fashionably dressed men and women going in and out of various places, rare jewelry, expensive luxury goods, high-end nightclubs, and girls with figures comparable to those of stars all silently tell us that this is a paradise for the rich.

"Please be kind. I am proficient in three businesses, speak three languages, served in the army for three years, have three children, and have been unemployed for three months. I need your help!"

A middle-aged man in tattered clothes and with a full beard, with a sign hanging on his body and an enamel teacup in his hand, kept shaking the teacup towards the crowd.

The appearance of such people on the streets of Times Square is out of tune with the surrounding prosperity. Some people look at them with disgust and aversion, as if they had met the god of plague, and stay away from them.

Occasionally, someone would take out a small note and put it into the teacup, and they would receive a bow of thanks.

Kurata Himiri looked sympathetic and took out a hundred dollars and threw it over.

Her eyes lit up, she kept bending and nodding, thanking him again and again, and saying things like good people will definitely be rewarded, which made Kurata Himiri's face full of joy.

But Okamoto Xiaozhi, who was traveling with him, was not so kind-hearted. He said with disdain: "What a lowly race. Real men actually come out to beg. Don't they feel ashamed?"

"Since you're begging, it must be because your child needs care, otherwise why would you do such a thing!" Kurata Himiri said somewhat unconvinced, obviously having the characteristics of a saintly person.

"Stupid, this guy is a professional beggar, can't you see that?"

"Nani?"

Okamoto Kozhi and Kurata Himiri both looked stunned.

Professional beggars, this kind of profession, they say it is incomprehensible.

Nagano Nao said: "Didn't you notice his nails and neck just now? They are so clean and tender. He might drive a luxury car, live in a villa, and have hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account!"

"How is this possible! If you are so rich, why would you do such a shameful thing as a beggar?!"

Nagano Nao shook his head secretly.

There are no beggars in Japan.

It’s not that everyone is rich and doesn’t need to beg, and it’s also a business.

The main reason is that begging is illegal in Japan. If you give alms to others, it will be considered an insult to their personality, and if you beg, you will be detained.

Moreover, normal people will not beg even if they are very poor. They would rather die than not lose their dignity.

What does it mean to suffer in order to save face?

Even if I really starve to death, I would never eat food given out of pity.

But obviously.

The guy just now was a professional beggar.

"In a country like the United States, people don't feel ashamed as long as they make money. It's because of begging that one can have hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings."

"Damn it! I was deceived by him!" Kurata Himiri was so angry that she shouted at the back: "Asshole! Give me back my money! How dare you do such a shameful thing to gain sympathy."

"Forget it! It's just a hundred dollars!" Nagano Nao quickly grabbed the secretary, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Is this about money? She's not a girl. How could a man do such a despicable thing? Such a person is really too much!"

"I'm just guessing, maybe he really is in trouble!"

"Humph! You must be lying. You are indeed an inferior race. If a man wants to live like this, why don't he just die?"

This punch caught him off guard.
