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

"Ah! I understand what Ms. Yuki means, but this... isn't so good!" Mrs. Yamaguchi said in surprise. It would be lonely to spend the New Year alone, but she felt guilty and embarrassed and ashamed.

Nagano Yuki had no idea that she was inviting thieves to her house. She thought Mrs. Yamaguchi was embarrassed, so she pulled her arm and said, "How could that be! The Changshans are a family now, so it's okay for us to spend the New Year together!"

family?

Nagano Nao, who followed nearby, had a very strange look on his face.

Why do I feel like my last name is Wang?

At this time.

Mrs. Yamaguchi looked over, as if she had a telepathic connection with him. She pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Nagano Nao gave him a lewd look in return, and then said with a complaint: "Yuki, you are so direct. Maybe Mrs. Yamaguchi has something to do!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, I overlooked that!" Nagano Yuki quickly agreed, feeling that she had not been thoughtful enough.

Mrs. Yamaguchi smiled charmingly and said, "What can I do alone? So you're welcome, Yuki. If you don't mind being bothersome... please bear with me in the future!"

"how could be!"

"..."

The two women came together.

Talk and laugh.

They seem like sisters, with endless topics to talk about.

Just looking at Nagano Yuki's heartfelt enthusiasm, Mrs. Yamaguchi felt envious and ashamed.

I stole Miss Yuki's husband, but I want to act like a virtuous woman. If Miss Yuki finds out in the future, how will she look at me?

Mieko!

You are such a morally corrupt woman!

It feels so shameful!

And I feel very guilty.

But when I thought about the relationship between Nagano Kanako and Nagano Nao, I suddenly felt much better.

I shouldn’t be too bad!

The group arrived at Nagano's house.

Kanako Nagano was pounding rice cakes. When she saw Mrs. Yamaguchi coming over, she lifted her hanging hair and greeted her with a smile.

Mrs. Yamaguchi was not idle either. She took off her shoes and came over to help.

The two of them were busy.

Talking about his experience in making rice cakes.

Looking at the two people's plump figures, Nagano Nao's eyes were lingering. He glanced at Nagano Yuki who was changing clothes, and quietly went to the kitchen.

The two busy women were attacked.

This kind of thing might be discovered by Nagano Yuki at any time at home, and the two of them were so scared that their faces turned red.

Nagano Kanako quickly pushed the hand on her butt away and said, "Straight man please don't do this, Yuki will find out!"

"It's okay, I'm listening to the noise!" Nagano Nao was very manly and his hands were like plasters, sticking to the surface and not coming off.

Nagano Kanako was helpless and quickly shifted her focus: "Isn't Mieko here too..."

"Hate it! Nai-chan, you...ah...no...Nagano-kun..."

If we talk about body shape.

Mrs. Yamaguchi has the best figure.

Nagano Nao worked left and right, not letting anyone go.

But this is her own home, and Kanako Nagano is somewhat used to it. Poor Mrs. Yamaguchi is a burglar, and the thought of being caught in the act here makes her heart almost stop beating with fear.

But a guy like Nagano Nao is already familiar with the situation and would never let her go.

"Didn't Mrs. Yamaguchi just say that one person can't do anything? Now there are three of us, right?"

"Can't......"

Mrs. Yamaguchi was so ashamed that her face turned red with anxiety, and her eyes were so charming that they seemed to be dripping with tears.

Just then, Nagano Yuki came out and heard her plea. She cheered and said, "Why not? I can help you."

"You're using a rolling pin to pound the rice cakes. I don't think you can do this!"

"This is easy, I can do it!"

"..."

A bucket of strange New Year's Eve dinner is being prepared.

Nagano Nao looked like a gentleman, watching the three women busying themselves, and openly changed his target.

This is a shame for Yuki Nagano.

It's really embarrassing to be shown affection in front of everyone.

"Straight man, please stop getting in the way here. Please get out of here quickly and stop causing trouble!"

"Onii-chan! Ignore that woman Yuki and come play games with me!"

"..."

Happy annual vacation.

Spend it in a happy atmosphere.

Wait until the holidays are over.

The crude oil market, which had been suspended from trading, also resumed trading.

The price is $40.28 per barrel.

Another round of delivery date has arrived.

After the contract was transferred, in accordance with the previous hedging transaction, Nagano Armand Oil Company successfully entered into delivery and settled all open contracts.

According to the agreement.

Sumitomo once again got a cargo ship of oil.

"According to the US estimates, this war will last at least a year."

"And this is still a good forecast. The US Department of Defense predicts that 15,000 people will die in the war. If the cruelty of the war is exposed, the anti-war sentiment in the United States will definitely rise, and the opposition will also denounce such a useless war. It is inevitable that it will be trapped in a long-term war."

"So at this time, we must accelerate the strategic advancement of heavy chemical industry."

"It's a pity that the Nakamura family kid can't keep losing money. It would be great if there is another sucker like him."

"..."

Whoever controls food controls humanity.

Whoever controls oil can control countries all over the world.

These days, as crude oil prices stabilize and the situation in the Gulf region becomes confusing again, Sumitomo's presidents no longer have the anxiety they had before when talking about the oil delivered to Nao Nagano.

after all.

The Gulf region has been blockaded now. Although the price remains at forty U.S. dollars, as soon as the war starts, it will be difficult to transport oil out of the entire Gulf region.

One year, two years.

If Sumitomo has large-scale resources in three years, it will definitely be able to defeat Mitsubishi and Sanwa's heavy chemical industries.

By then, with more jobs under control, it would become a foregone conclusion that Sumitomo would become the leading conglomerate.

And the other side.

The Sanshui Association also held its usual managers’ meeting.

The presidents sat together, looking at each other, feeling both pain and happiness.

Different from other consortiums.

Before the station, Sanhe was engaged in chemical fiber business. At that time, major conglomerates made a lot of money in heavy chemical industry, but they were also dealt a heavy blow when they were liquidated after the war.

Because Sanwa was not involved in this area, it was able to develop slowly. Later, when other conglomerates gave up on large-scale development of heavy industrial chemicals after the war, it snatched away many customers.

But what no one expected was that the situation would change and the customers that were once snatched from Sumitomo might be snatched back by others today.

"Alas! Things have turned out like this."

"Sumitomo has expanded its production capacity several times in recent times. If it continues like this, those customers will definitely be snatched away."

"If it doesn't work, let's lower the price!"

"If the war continues for a long time, we will have no advantage in the price war!"

"Then try to build more relationships with those customers. There are a few who like big horses the most. Why don't you import some from Europe and arrange for them?"

"At 20% of the price, it's probably useless to maintain a good relationship!"

"Oh! It would be great if Nagano-kun could sell these resources to us."

"Yes! Ten million barrels of oil, such a precious resource, but at a time like this, it can be fatal!"

"We are all brothers, but has this guy never considered the survival of the Brotherhood? He doesn't even give priority to the brothers within the consortium!"

"That's right, this guy can't be a spy sent by the enemy to infiltrate our territory!"

"..."

A group of people were criticizing Nagano Nao.

Jingtian Heng was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to explain for him.

After all, in the current situation, Sanhe is under a lot of pressure, especially Maruzen, Comers and Sekisui, which have been hit hard in this regard.

However, you still have to protect your own people.

"That's too much to say. Nagano-kun gave you a discount of thirty dollars. Besides, no one knows what the situation will turn out to be. If the oil price plummets, Sumitomo will really be in trouble!"

"How can this be!"
