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

Chapter 197 Oil prices fall!

In the United States, most of the arms companies are private companies, which are generally monopolized by big families who specialize in this industry. They are manufacturers and distributors, but the real top arms and equipment, or large-scale military industries, are still firmly controlled by the US government. .

In fact, the United States is like other countries, the real control of the country is still in the hands of some people, but their government is not subject to consortiums like Japan, and they still have a certain right to speak.

The reason why the consortia of Japan and South Korea are so powerful is because they rely on the lifeline economy of those countries, such as communications, oil, natural gas, military industry, etc. Once someone monopolizes these industries, it means that they can control the entire national economy, and the economic foundation determines superstructure.

Viktoria is Russian, but Kitahara Sosuke categorically does not believe that she transported these munitions from the Soviet Union to Seattle.

The reason why Romon didn't dare to do arms deals with her was because the United States strictly stipulates that arms companies can only sell weapons and equipment to the government and related organizations, and absolutely cannot sell them to individuals or private companies without permission.

Even if Romon was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to take it.

Moreover, the munitions in this warehouse cost millions of gold, which is 100 zeros short of the 4 billion gold that Victoria asked for!

"Miss Victoria, may I ask, where are these arms?" Kitahara Sosuke adjusted his words and asked with a smile.

Victoria glared at him, and replied in broken English: "This is made in my factory, you don't have to worry about the unknown origin, you are Japanese, as long as you are willing to buy these goods, I can arrange for you Leave America safely."

"Ms. Friedman's family runs an arms manufacturing company, and her mother is the CEO of that company." Romon explained in a low voice.

"Since you are a member of a large arms company, why don't you have money?" Kitahara Sosuke became more and more confused, and why would the Russians open an arms company in the United States?
Romon glanced at Victoria, and quickly and briefly introduced her family's affairs with her acquiescence.

It turned out that her father, Oman Friedman, left Russia more than 30 years ago and came to the United States to seek gold. It coincided with the beginning of the Cold War, and the speculation he originally planned to do bankrupted the business directly. , Relying on personal efforts and opportunities, Oman met Victoria's mother, the daughter of a well-known local arms dealer family in Seattle, USA.

After the combination of the two, there is only one daughter, Victoria. The Omani Russian identity cannot be fully trusted by his wife's family. Although he is also a director of the company, he has no real power, and his wife is also very strict about his funds. .

As a son-in-law, he possessed all abilities but was unable to use them. Aman's grievance made Kitahara Sosuke very sad.

Oman is very optimistic about this oil war, and Victoria, who has followed her father's ears and eyes, also raised her intention to do this business.

So there was such a farce.

It's hard for Luo Meng to refuse her, and he can't help her open an account and build a warehouse. I didn't expect this chick to be so tough, and she rushed into her own futures company with someone!
Kitahara Sosuke, who understood the ins and outs of the incident, couldn't laugh or cry, was he affected by the accident?
He looked at the beautiful Russian girl with a baby face, and suddenly a vague message flashed in his head.

Russia, starting arms business, Friedman family.
The Soviet Union is about to disintegrate. When it comes to this, Kitahara Sosuke will naturally not miss the rise of the seven major Russian financial oligarchs with the help of Yeltsin.

Their experience is the real road to the rise of the consortium. From scratch, the seven of them joined forces at the peak and even allowed a monkey to be elected in the presidential election.

It's a pity that PJ, who was later on the stage, directly defeated six of them, and the only one who survived seemed to be named Friedman.

The rise of Friedman was in 92, and he was the only financial oligarch who was not prepared before the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

I just don't know if there is any connection between that Friedman and the Friedman in front of him.

If the two are the same person, the benefits of helping this chick far outweigh the disadvantages.

"Miss Victoria, do you know how much such a pistol is worth?" Kitahara Sosuke walked into the warehouse and picked up the gun.

Victoria almost blurted out: "268 meters gold!"

"That's right, what about the submachine gun." Kitahara Sosuke pointed to the submachine gun next to him, "a 976-meter gold one."

"Miss Victoria, let's not talk about whether I can buy the goods in this warehouse. If all these values ​​are added together, can there be 1 million meters of gold?" Kitahara Sosuke asked with a smile.

"Yes, there should be." Victoria herself didn't believe it. She leaned her hands behind her back, staring at the sky beside her, and her voice lacked confidence.

"According to my estimate, the total value of all the goods here will not exceed 500 million meters of gold. You can't buy and sell by force, right?" Kitahara Sosuke asked with a smile.

Since the other party has a reputation in Seattle, he can't do such an outrageous thing, right?
He suspected that this chick wanted to make a move without telling the family. If she really engaged in forced buying and selling of arms and then intervened in the crude oil futures market, it would be no different from rushing to the bank with a gun to grab money for stocks.

Not so.

"Then, what do you say, these are all my assets!" Victoria looked a little annoyed, she was restricted by her mother, and even her father didn't have a small personal treasury, let alone her.

The weapons and equipment here are still all the wealth she has accumulated from her birthday presents since she was a child, and New Year's and holiday gifts!
"Miss Victoria, if you really want to do futures business, I can provide some help, but the premise is that you listen to me." Kitahara Sosuke paused and said tentatively.

He had to figure out whether this Friedman had anything to do with the financial oligarchs, and whether it was worth his help.

At the point of time, this financial oligarch who rose last and has not yet made a fortune seems to coincide with her father. If she can give him a little help at this time, the benefits in the future will be limitless.

But Kitahara Sosuke is not one of those cheating time travelers who can remember the past clearly, at most he can remember the big events in the financial world.

"Listen to you?" Victoria frowned. Since she was a child, her father couldn't control her, and she hadn't tried to listen to anyone.

"This is a necessary condition, otherwise I can't help you." Kitahara Sosuke nodded solemnly, "I won't buy these goods, sorry."

"Listen to you, do you promise to let me buy futures?" Victoria looked at Kitahara Sosuke suspiciously.

Kitahara Sosuke nodded: "Guaranteed, as long as you meet the conditions to become my partner. Regarding this, Romon can testify that I am capable of helping you. But if you do not meet the conditions, there is nothing I can do."

"What's the condition?" Victoria was not stupid, she vaguely felt that this handsome Japanese was digging a hole for herself, but she couldn't find where the flaw was.

"I have to go back and list it out carefully. In short, I will let Romon contact you at that time. If you insist on selling the goods to me to collect rice gold, then I can't do it." Kitahara Sosuke's tone was firm. This chick is not really lawless, she is more domineering, but not brainless.

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, Victoria slowly nodded, and once again stretched out her delicate and white hand to Kitahara Sosuke: "Then I will trust you once, can I be sure tomorrow?"

"It's fine this afternoon." Kitahara Sosuke also reached out and held her hand.

On the way back to the futures company, Luo Meng couldn't help wiping his sweat. Although he didn't think that Victoria really dared to shoot and kill himself in Seattle, he was really scared when the barrel of the gun was put into his mouth. Living.

On the contrary, Kitahara Sosuke, who accompanied him all the way, was extremely calm, and finally turned his back on the guest and persuaded Victoria.

Hearing Victoria's grievance that the warehouse of ammunition was her entire home, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't laugh or cry. Should I say that this chick is too miserable, or should I say that she is a little whimsical?
However, with such a family background, according to Romon, her mother's family dominates the sky in Seattle, so it is not surprising to develop such a character, and he has seen even more weird rich second generations.

But that Aman Friedman is really miserable, the door-to-door son-in-law has nothing, and is under surveillance and control, unable to show his hands and feet. Sure enough, in novels and TV, he slaps his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the face at every turn, and makes his wife lie down and lick his father-in-law The husband-in-law does not exist!

"Beiyuan, what are you going to do with this chick? With her personality, if you can't meet her needs, she may continue to come to our company to make trouble." Luo Meng said bitterly, calling the police is not right, and not calling the police is not right. .

They didn't hurt people or kill people, they just broke things, they didn't kidnap you, at best they lost money, but how dare Romon let her lose money.

What would she do if she pulled herself to that pile of ammunition again?
"First of all, she must be obedient. This chick doesn't understand futures at all. If she takes the lead after cooperation, she will give the money to others. Secondly, I need to confirm the situation of her family. In case her parents don't want us to bring Her daughter is crazy, and cooperating rashly is courting death." Kitahara Sosuke smiled, "Of course, I can finish opening an account, and fly away from the United States after opening a warehouse."

"Don't, don't, Beiyuan, I'll find out what information you want! You won't be charged commission for this business, and I'll return the handling fee to you, as long as you can help me deal with this chick!" Romon waved his hands hastily.

When the two returned to the futures company, they found out that the state police had come to investigate and inquire. Seeing Kitahara Sosuke came back safe and sound, Fujiwara Norika rushed over with red eyes and threw himself into his arms.

Yamada Kazuma also let out a long breath, he was ready to send Fujiwara Norika and Sakurai Saeko away first, and he was ready to go to Kitahara Sosuke alone.

Romon brought Kitahara Sosuke to the new VIP room, and went to investigate Victoria's family information with Ruth without stopping.

In the afternoon, the oil price rose to 39.2 meters gold per barrel as expected, and the reorganized trading floor was full of investors. They watched the rapid rise of oil prices and cheered happily, just like those people in the stock exchange back then.

At this time, Kitahara Sosuke was also very nervous. He looked at the data on the scrolling screen in the room. There was still an hour before the market closed. Will the expected result come?

As the pointer moved, time passed, and the numbers on the scrolling screen finally changed again.

WTI crude oil futures fell from 39.2 meters gold per barrel to 38.9 meters gold per barrel!
