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

Sekisui Chemical Vice President Hidetake Sakata came over.

The guy was stunned.

When he saw Nagano Nao and Mito Shinichi meet, he was excited and secretly happy, but he quickly showed an enthusiastic attitude.

Bow +1.

"Nakamura-sama! What happened?"

This is what a murderous pig is like.

With a 90-degree bow, Shinichi Mito was carried directly to the cliff.

Nakamura.

Your Highness!

He had heard it before.

At the Sanshui Conference, the heir of the Nakamura family obtained one million barrels of oil by virtue of his connections with foreign countries, and sold them to the Sanhe Group at a price lower than the market price.

But he never dreamed that the big oil company he wanted to get to know this time would be taught a lesson by him just now.

I immediately understood why Nagano Nao, a young man, was so undisciplined and aggressive.

But at the same time, as the president of Sumitomo, he cannot afford to lose face in this situation.

Hidetake Sakata!

You bastard!

Knowing that you have been cheated, you are in a difficult situation.

Mito Shinichi's expression changed again and again.

"I was just rash. I didn't expect it to be the current heir of the Nakamura family."

"Today I am in a dilemma. I believe you understand the reason, Lord Mito. My Nakamura family cannot afford to lose this person. So you have two choices today. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain myself."

"First, apologize and admit your mistake. Second, bet 10 million barrels of oil with me. Other than that, you and I have no other choice."

As Nagano Nao spoke, his eyes swept across the entire audience, emanating a sharp aura from inside out, and his tone was unquestionably strong.

Mito Shinichi's face became serious: "Since it has come to this, then please ask Mr. Nakamura to prepare 10 million barrels of oil!"

"..."

Chapter 291 Who is the one who is sure to win?

Bow +1.

There was no tense atmosphere.

There is no hostility in his words.

Be courteous to each other.

It was like a polite greeting.

But Mito Shinichi's expression was extremely solemn, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he bowed very methodically, with every movement and detail full of the sacredness and solemnity of a ritual.

Anyone can see that both sides are very cautious about this matter.

Because before the Meiji Restoration, this was the only way top swordsmen would fight for their lives.

"Wow! Who is this guy? He actually made President Mito use such serious etiquette."

"The Nakamura family? Are they that powerful? I don't think I've ever heard of any great people like them! Why does President Mito seem so cautious?"

"You ignorant fellow! You don't really think this country is as democratic and fair as you see it? Behind the curtain of darkness, there is a group of unknown entities controlling this country."

"Are you talking about Saiyans?!"

"You idiot, do you think I'm talking to you about anime? Can you put aside your chuunibunny mind?! The Nakamura family is a family that existed before the Meiji Restoration, just like Mitsui, Iwasaki, Sato, and Tokugawa. Do you understand?"

"..."

"No way! This guy Nagano actually has such a great background. He looked ordinary before and I didn't know anything about him!"

“Even if the Nakamura family is great, this guy calls himself Nagano, so how can he be from the Nakamura family?”

"What's so strange about this! Just like the son of the Prime Minister, how can ordinary people know his name and surname? Otherwise, how do you think these unknown guys exist?"

"That's true. Just like before Yoshiaki Tsutsumi inherited the Tsutsumi family business, who would have known him?"

"I heard that the Nakamura family does the same thing, selecting the best talents from each family as the heir."

"No way! Are there still such corrupt rules from the shogunate era?"

"Decay? This is the secret to ensuring that the family will never decline!"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion around.

The women were not very interested at this time, but the men's faces turned red, as if they were injected with chicken blood and were very excited.

The fight between the Chinese and the consortium!

It was like a duel between princes. Being able to witness a fight between beings of this level with your own eyes was enough to brag about for a lifetime while drinking.

The fire of gossip burned fiercely.

Even if you don't know who Shinichi Mito is, who doesn't know about Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Group?

Although the Nakamura family is not well-known, you can imagine how terrifying it is to be able to make Mito Shinichi such a serious opponent.

and so.

Some people became even more curious.

"Sumitomo is the seventh largest financial group in the world. Although 10 million barrels of crude oil is a lot, it is only 4 billion US dollars. They shouldn't be so cautious! President Mito's face is so gloomy that it seems like water is coming out of it. It feels so strange!"

"Idiot! Do you think that when they say 10 million barrels of crude oil, it means 10 million barrels of crude oil?"

"Nani?"

Get a chance to show off.

The guy who was asked the question immediately showed off his erudition in a boastful manner.

"This is knowledge that you will only understand when you reach a certain level. Just like when you are asked how many you collect each year, what would you answer?"

"About 1000! What does this have to do with anything?"

"That's right! When these bigwigs talk about crude oil, they usually use daily units. Didn't you hear what President Mito said just now?"

"It seems that the total import volume in the first quarter was only 548 million barrels... My God..."

Clearly abnormal numbers.

The young guy immediately felt something was wrong.

As the world's second largest economy, how could Japan only have 548 million barrels in a quarter!

The average daily crude oil imports of the United States are 750 million barrels. Even if you don't pay attention to this news, as a student of Keio University, you will know with a little thought that 548 million barrels per quarter is obviously not in line with the reality.

every day!

Ten million barrels of oil!

At today's price, that's $400 million.

If it’s a hundred days…a year…is this how big people calculate money?

No wonder even a conglomerate like Sumitomo appears so solemn!

"In that case, Lord Nagano is really amazing! If he can produce so much oil, wouldn't he be able to shock the entire Japanese oil and chemical industry with the price?"

"That's why Lord Mito agreed to the duel so solemnly! If the other party can produce so much oil, given the current global oil shortage, Sumitomo can use this advantage to defeat the heavy chemical industry under other conglomerates and become the most powerful conglomerate.

And if the other party can't produce it, then Sumitomo will save face, and it's a sure win!"

"If that's the case, then Mr. Nagano is doomed to fail, right?"

"Ginger is always experienced. Maybe he was angry and humiliated by Mito-sama's neglect, so he made such a boast, but he didn't expect that Mito-sama took the opportunity to plot against him! Or maybe, from the beginning, Mito-sama deliberately angered him to achieve his own goal!"

"No way!!!"

"How can we ants understand the wisdom of great people..."

"..."

The discussions of the onlookers.

Things seem to be getting confusing.

But seriously speaking, these guys actually guessed it pretty close to the truth.

The Nakamura family is an old noble family whose name has never been found, so they cannot lose face.

Similarly, Sumitomo Chemical has become the face of the Sumitomo Group at this time, and it cannot be lost either.

Both of them are in a difficult situation.

The only option at this point is to do it.

So when Nao Nagano mentioned 10 million barrels of oil, Shinichi Mito immediately thought of the possibility of this happening.

Have!

Or not!

If so, Sumitomo could get 10 million barrels of oil.

Limited by the scale of resources, major financial groups have been fighting overtly and covertly, but they can only guard their own small piece of land.

However, if Sumitomo can gain control of the completely monopolistic oil resources, Sumitomo Chemical will soon be able to produce more products through its subsidiaries and seize the heavy chemical industry of other conglomerates.

It becomes possible to defeat Mitsubishi and Mitsui and become the number one conglomerate in Japan and the world.

of course.

The most likely possibility is that the guy in front of me is trying to scare me.

Ten million barrels.
