The Kyoto Bubble Era: Starting from the Sale of Hundreds of Millions of Properties

Chapter 184 I'm the Big Short (Two in One)

1990 7 Month 31 Day.

The third phase of the Juliana Tokyo project, which caused a sensation all over Japan, has finally come to a perfect conclusion. The whole of Osaka is filled with a strange atmosphere of fanaticism. All voted in.

Not long after the curtain ended, countless eyes gathered on the Shibaura area of ​​Minato-ku, which has already broken ground. Everyone is waiting for the completion of this grand project. The expected opening time is May next year.

At the end of July, the scorching heat came, and "Kiki's Delivery Service", which was released less than 7 days ago, won a box office of 20 billion and is moving towards a higher throne. This is already a phenomenon-level animated film, destined to be recorded in history.

The linked Kitahara Logistics is also famous all over Japan, thanks to the snow wolf Kitahara, although Kitahara Logistics only does business in Tokyo and Osaka, its popularity has surpassed that of Yamato Transport, which has been in business for several years, and has successfully settled in a so-called foreign company. Difficult to gain a foothold in Kyoto.

The car radio broadcast the latest international news.

"On July 7, US Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz met in Geneva for the last time before the war. However, both sides believed that there was no room for compromise and the talks failed to achieve results. According to the latest news, the US Congress has authorized the military to expel Iraq. out of Kuwait, shortly thereafter other countries in the alliance authorized their troops to attack. Prime Minister Toshiki Kaibu stated that Japan would join the alliance forces, and that the funds for this war"

"It's really going to war!" Norika Fujiwara, who was in the co-pilot's seat, was stunned. She didn't understand these things very well, but these days, some colleagues occasionally talked about the tense situation in the Middle East, saying that Iraq might reject the request of the Allied Powers, which was very serious. The Gulf War may break out in the near future.

I didn't expect it to actually start fighting!

As a member of the Allied Powers, Japan will naturally join the Gulf War.

Fujiwara Norika hates war very much, obviously everyone is a person living on the earth, why do you have to fight to the death?

She also couldn't understand how some people shielded war criminals.

War criminals are war criminals, bad people are bad people, and bad people should be punished!
"Well, the price of oil is also rising. I remember that after the authorization of Congress, the first wave of attack should be officially launched 4 days later. On that day, the price of oil should rise to the highest point in history."

Kitahara Sosuke drove the car, recalling the information in his mind,

"We've got to pick up the pace and buy oil at this point in time."

"Eh? If you want to make oil futures, shouldn't you, President, buy them as soon as possible before the war? I have also paid attention to the price of oil. It has been on an upward trend recently. If there is a real war, it should go up again. Didn't you lose a lot of money by buying it now?" Fujiwara Norika's face was full of doubts.

The Gulf War broke out, shouldn't it be the most profitable to be long on oil?
Although she doesn't buy futures and funds herself, as a bank employee, she must have passed the most basic financial knowledge.

In fact, many people around are eager to try, but Japan has not yet listed crude oil futures. To participate in the purchase of oil futures, you must go to the United States. Counting various costs and handling fees, it is enough to dissuade a large number of people.

In addition, as early as half a month ago, Dongsan temporarily stopped the exchange business of Japanese yen and rice gold.

"Haha, what I said is true. Those who really want to participate in this oil futures transaction have already invested all their money in the futures market. They should have made a lot of money by now." Sosuke Kitahara just received Sakai's offer yesterday. Mieko's secret telegram, she inquired about the disappearance of Ito Mansaburo's funds, suspected that all of them would be poured into Juliana's Tokyo project today, and specially reminded Kitahara Sosuke.

But in fact, Mansaburo Ito, who held more than 6000 billion funds, did not enter the third phase of the China Merchants Fair. The expansion quota was evenly distributed to those retail investors.

In addition, Mieko Sakai also mentioned that Mansaburo Ito has come to Tokyo frequently recently, but not to major financial institutions, but to the National Assembly, the Metropolitan Police Department and other places. It seems that he is trying to contact some political and legal systems that can say Big talker.

However, judging from the results, Ito Mansaburo returned in defeat.

Hamaka Taro also mentioned this to Kitahara Sosuke, he did not expect that the "goods" he captured would be Ito Mansaburo's daughter!
It is indeed extremely embarrassing for father and daughter to meet under such circumstances.

On the surface, this incident was naturally the fault of Binzhong Taro and Xu Yongzhong. They were severely reprimanded, especially the group of lawless peninsula people in Dianjian. He made it clear that he would not turn a blind eye again.

It's just that this chain of interests is related to the Yueguangzhuang painting exhibition and political donations. The biggest part is in the trading of the painting exhibition. These are just accessories and desserts for big shots.

But desserts belong to desserts. If it is revealed, there is no guarantee that the art exhibition and trade fair will also be leaked.

Therefore, in fact, the top bosses behind Yueguangzhuang seemed to have taught Binzhong Taro and Xu Yongzhong a lesson. In fact, the thunder was loud and the rain was little, and it did not have any substantial impact on them.

However, after this incident, the Itoman family, the Haminaka family, and Oyodo Construction completely turned against each other. After all, Ito Mansaburo had been helping the Jitian family with things, and finally Jitian Ichiro came out to be a peacemaker, allowing the three parties to shake hands and make peace. Oyodo Construction helped Itoman Co., Ltd. to clean up the 7000 billion funds.

Hamanaka Taro, who thought he was the most wronged, was severely criticized by his father, and his heart became more and more angry. He apologized and secretly spread the oolong incident of Ito Wanlihua in the circle.

After the incident spread rapidly, the reputation of the Itoman family was discredited, and it became a joke in other families' private gatherings.

There are too many forces involved in Yueguangzhuang, but Ito Mansaburo couldn't swallow this breath. He asked Xu Yongzhong to hand over those peninsula people who robbed his daughter, but he was sternly rejected.

After that, Ito Mansaburo tried to put pressure on Xu Yongzhong through the political and legal system, but unfortunately failed again.

Suppressed with anger, Ito Mansaburo sadly returned to Osaka and threw all his wealth into the Gulf War. He wanted to send his family into the ranks of wealthy families in one fell swoop, and then teach Xu Yongzhong a lesson!
After listening to the ins and outs of the incident, the real instigator, Sosuke Kitahara, smiled and said nothing. It was best for him to see dogs biting dogs between enemies. After this seed of hatred is planted, it may grow into a towering tree in the future.

And he will be the first to enjoy the fragrant fruit that the big tree bears.

At the same time, houses in Tokyo and Osaka have also returned to the ranks of hot sales, and it is estimated that they will reach a peak again after the completion of the Juliana Tokyo project.

Sosuke Kitahara drove the car to Chiyoda District, Tokyo. He felt that it was an extremely crazy era. People at the top gambled on wars and the fate of the country, people at the middle gambled on the fate of their families, and people at the bottom gambled all their wealth on the real estate market and the stock market. , as long as you have money, no matter what your status is, you can find opportunities to participate in the game!

It's a pity that what they participated in was a gamble that was destined to become a loser.

Two days ago, Mansaburo Ito remitted 330 billion into his account in batches. Afterwards, Kitahara Logistics and Kitano Logistics also carried out fund aggregation. Counting the box office profits of "Kiki's Delivery Service", Kitahara Sosuke now has A total of 1600 billion yen is held on the Internet!

He is now going to the Tokyo head office of Sanwa Bank to exchange all the yen in his hand into rice gold!

Also join in this gamble!

three hours later.

The two arrived at Chiyoda Ward, the Tokyo head office of Sanwa Bank smoothly.

Chiyoda Ward is Tokyo's Wall Street and its administrative and judicial center!
The last time he came to the Tosan Headquarters, Kitahara Sosuke fully experienced the charm of this special area. This time, compared with the magnificent and colorful night scene, Chiyoda's daytime scene is no less inferior, with a gorgeous beauty of a prosperous and prosperous age.

Fujiwara Norika has long been overwhelmed by the countless towering steel forests around her, with a "wow" sound in her mouth, staring at them intently.

When studying at Tokyo University, she spent all her time studying and working part-time. She never even left Bunkyo District. Although she has longed for Chiyoda District, she has never had time to admire the magnificent beauty of this "one ring" of Tokyo. .

She never thought that she would come to Chiyoda District as the second person in charge of special financing projects.

Kitahara Sosuke will intervene in the oil war of the Gulf War in the name of Kitahara Investment. This is Kitahara Investment's first super project in the true sense. Fujiwara Norika can't help but sit up quietly, full of pride in her heart.

Sanwa Tokyo Head Office is not far from Tosan Tokyo Head Office, occupying a huge office building soaring into the sky. The huge Sanwa word is very eye-catching. It is worthy of being the core financial enterprise of the consortium. Penetrating out of the building, directly hitting people's hearts.

Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika walked into the head office building, and after showing the certificates of special financial customers, a middle-aged account manager with a back-haired smile greeted them after a while.

"President Beiyuan, this way please, please follow me to the foreign exchange hall on the [-]th floor to handle business." The middle-aged account manager received the message from Hiroshi Uchida early and must meet the exchange requirements of this special customer.

Originally, Sanwa Bank had already stopped foreign exchange exchange, but the exchange hall was still full of customers waiting for exchange. These people were at least well-known in Japan. Of course not completely restricted.

As soon as the extremely young Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika entered the hall, they were stared at by countless eyes. Some of them had participated in the first investment promotion meeting, so they were no strangers to Kitahara Sosuke.

"This way, please. I need to queue up to get the number. Please wait here for a while." The middle-aged account manager ran over to get the number, and then waited quietly in the waiting area with them.

Several entrepreneurs around whispered about the situation of the Gulf War, and the topic soon turned to the oil market. The exchange of rice gold during this period was obviously aimed at the oil market.

However, they are not qualified enough to get a free ride from the government and the six major consortiums, so they can only go abroad to buy futures to enter the market.

"I asked yesterday. When the oil futures closed, it actually rose to 17.9 meters a barrel. Just a week ago, it was only 12.4 meters a barrel!" One of them said in a low voice, his tone was full of annoyance and remorse.

"Who knew it would rise so fast? Didn't the military strategists predict that the war would take at least half a year before it broke out? But just this morning, the U.S. Congress suddenly passed the application to mobilize the army! Today's market closes, and oil may rise sharply , If you didn’t catch up with the previous ones, it’s not too bad to catch up now.”

The other nodded in agreement.

The conversations in other small circles are also similar. It is no secret to invade the oil market to do more. On the eve of the war, people with knowledge and brains want to enter the market to make a fortune, but their funds are worthless compared to the big guys. Mention.

"President, I have always had a question. Since everyone is going to go long, who can we eat? There are no short sellers, or there are not enough people on the other side, and the earning is limited, right?" Fujiwara Ji Xiang asked softly.

There were a few gazes, and the people who had talked with each other whispered and chuckled from time to time.

"Yeah, there are too few short positions. Everyone is worried that they will go late and don't even have soup, so they all come to exchange money and enter the market." Kitahara Sosuke explained with a smile, "Such a good opportunity, I don't have anything to eat What a pity."

"Ah, then we have to hurry up. If we can't eat meat, we can still drink some soup." Fujiwara Norika only knew that he had prepared a large sum of money to exchange for rice gold, but she didn't know the exact amount. In her opinion, Kitahara Cang Jie entered the oil market in order to continue to expand the total assets of Beiyuan Investment, hoping to be listed before the end of the year, and a wave of financing may reach the goal of 1000 billion.

The more she thought about it, the more she found it strange that Kitahara Sosuke was not a careless person. After the war had begun and intensified, he should have chosen to enter the arena long ago. Why did he delay entering the arena until now?

He also looked slow and not in a hurry.

There is such a tense atmosphere in the exchange hall at the moment. Everyone is eager to get the rice gold immediately and then fly to New York to buy oil futures. They are afraid that they will lose a lot of money if they delay for a day, and they are even more afraid that they will not be eligible to enter the market if it is too late.

Where did so many short harvests come from!

Who doesn't want to earn money from fools? They think it's outrageous that there will be shorts in the Gulf War, but the world is so wonderful, and there are always people who dare to gamble with their lives.

"No hurry, no one will grab us if we enter the venue later." Kitahara Sosuke smiled.

"Eh?" Fujiwara Norika became more and more puzzled, "Didn't it mean that there are too few short positions, so you won't be able to enter the market?"

"That's right, it's true for those who are long." Kitahara Sosuke looked at her, then glanced at the crowd around him, and said leisurely, "But it's not for us."

"Hey, why?!" Fujiwara Norika had a bad feeling.

It felt like that reception and dinner, when Sosuke Kitahara, who was only the head of the department at that time, had frightened her with such shocking words after waking up.

"Because I'm a big short."
