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

Chapter 213 Elite gatherings, land wars, and oil prices plummet!

September 1990, 9, at 12 am.

On the spacious road heading to Chiyoda District, Tokyo, the GT-R32 sports car drove all the way, attracting the attention of men and women in the few other vehicles.

This kind of luxury car is still rare in Japan today. In the 90s, private cars were not fully popularized, and people preferred public transportation such as trams and subways.

Akina Nakamori's melodious and moving voice came from the car radio. As the song came to an end, the bustling city appeared in front of Sosuke Kitahara.

Chiyoda District is the political and economic center of Japan. The Japanese National Assembly, the House and Senate, the office buildings of various ministries and offices, and the Supreme Court are all located here. In addition, most of the headquarters of the core clubs of the six major consortiums are located in this area.

Japan has a small amount of land and a large population. Under such national conditions, Chiyoda District is uncharacteristically large and sparsely populated. It can be seen that the residential land prices here are daunting.

The core members of the Miyazawa family live in an ultra-high-end apartment building called "Haoyi Tianhe" near Tokyo Station.

In Chiyoda District, where land is at a premium, the Miyazawa family actually purchased an entire apartment building for core members to live in. Seeing the ostentatious ostentation, Kitahara Sosuke suddenly felt that the Kitahara family’s previous apartment building in Minato Villa complexes are nothing.

With the current land price, Kitahara Sosuke estimates that it will cost tens of billions of yen to buy the Haoyitianhe apartment building, which is really extravagant.

After showing the exquisite invitation card, the respectful security guard led Kitahara Sosuke to park the car in the exclusive parking space, and then took him downstairs to the apartment.

The two men in black sunglasses carefully checked Kitahara Sosuke's belongings and pockets before bowing and letting them go.

The banquet was held on the rooftop of the apartment building.

The scenery here is excellent. Looking around, you can see countless famous landmark buildings in Chiyoda Ward, including the Tosan headquarters building that Sosuke Kitahara had been to before.

You can also feel the cool autumn wind on the spacious roof. There are no protective measures around, and an exquisite platform is built in the center, with musical fountains, balloons of various colors, garlands, and lush and beautiful vegetation.

It is simply an open-air crystal palace.

The official start time of the party is 10 o'clock.

Kitahara Sosuke glanced at the Rolex in his hand. At 9:50, there were quite a few people gathered on the rooftop, more than 30 people were roughly estimated.

Before coming, through the recommendation of Hashimoto's family, he had a brief 3-minute phone call with Kiichi Miyazawa, explaining some of his cards and appeals, and then waited for Kiichi Miyazawa's reply.

Originally, Sosuke Kitahara's biggest trump card was the recording pen. Through stripping and cocooning, he could also grasp a series of evidence of Oyodo's construction crimes, but that was definitely not enough to deal a fatal blow to Noboru Takeshita.

It doesn't make much sense to overthrow a Oyodo construction, and add Hamanaka Taro at most.

To invite Miyazawa Kiichi, one must have interests that he can admire.

Kim Sung-wook's torture failed to extract much useful information from Han Il-sung's mouth, at most it was more complete criminal evidence, Kitahara Sosuke did not lack this.

I thought this negotiation would be difficult, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, Kikujiro's younger brother in Oyodo Construction brought him a big surprise.

Han Shanzi, who was supposed to be disposed of, was sent to Kitahara Sosuke's residence, and the conversation between Xu Yongzhong and Tanaka Moriichi provided by Han Shanzi made Kitahara Sosuke realize that the reason why Xu Yongzhong was so confident and possessed such great power was because he He holds a "list" in his hand that is enough to threaten Nobo Takeshita!
What is the list, what is on the list, Han Shanzi can't tell clearly, Kitahara Sosuke can vaguely guess some, but there is no need to go into it, as long as you tell Miyazawa Kiichi about this, he has the qualifications to negotiate.

As he expected, after a long silence, Miyazawa Kiichi agreed to the request to meet after the banquet.

At this moment, financial tycoons from all over Japan are talking about international current affairs with red wine, and the future economic development. There are many beautiful and wealthy young ladies beside them in evening gowns. This combination usually appears in pairs, which is extremely dazzling.

Kiichi Miyazawa is one of the few politicians in Japanese politics who has successively held the four major positions in the cabinet (chief cabinet secretary, minister of finance, minister of foreign affairs, and minister of economy, industry and industry).

It is also the one with the closest relationship with the economic and financial circles among the Big Three. He made the decision on the Plaza Accord and the appreciation of the yen!

The Miyazawa family has a lot of contacts with the banking industry, and it is also the political family with the closest contacts with the Mitsubishi consortium. Kiichi Miyazawa's eldest son, Kiichi Miyazawa, served as the vice president of Tosan for half a year, and his younger brother, Hiroshi Miyazawa, has a nephew. Named Fumio Kishida (2021.10 to become Prime Minister)!

The host of today's banquet is Miyazawa Jing's eldest daughter Kaoru Miyazawa, who is 28 years old this year and is currently working at the Tokyo head office of Long-term Credit Bank of Japan as the deputy director of the personnel department.

She is also Ji Tianyuanzi's best friend.

A color TV was placed on the central platform of the banquet, broadcasting TV news related to the Gulf War. A group of young financial tycoons were talking freely, and the topic quickly shifted to crude oil futures.

Wearing a crimson evening dress, Kaoru Miyazawa held two glasses of red wine, smiled and bid farewell to a group of young financial elites who wanted to make friends with her, and walked towards Kitahara, who was standing alone on the edge overlooking Chiyoda District under their fiery eyes Sosuke.

"Aosuke Kitahara?"

A woman's soft and crisp voice sounded in her ears.

Kitahara Sosuke withdrew his gaze from the electrical street below, turned his head to look, and the first thing that came into his eyes was a glass of red wine, and through the transparent wine glass was Kaoru Miyazawa's mature and charming face.

"Ms. Miyazawa, good morning." Kitahara Sosuke bowed slightly, took the red wine glass, touched her lightly, and took a sip.

He has met many girls from rich families, sisters from the Uchida family, Ji Tianyuanzi from the Jitian family, and now this Kaoru Miyazawa, each with their own style, but without exception, they are indeed much better than ordinary girls.

They have the best educational resources, family background, orthodox celebrity education for more than ten or twenty years, and they can always develop a unique temperament.

"You are as Sonoko said, handsome and fascinating, have you met Chino's younger sister?" Kaoru Miyazawa asked with a smile.

She doesn't have the unique sharpness of a strong woman like Ji Tianyuanzi, and she gives Kitahara Sosuke a soft beauty, but under the softness, she is unabashedly charming.

This is a woman of pure desire.

"I haven't seen her yet. Ms. Miyazawa knows her?"

Speaking of his fiancée, Kitahara Sosuke became a little interested.

Kaoru Miyazawa smiled wryly and shook his head: "I've been to Kyoto a few times, but I've always been shut down."

Kitahara Sosuke clicked his tongue, his fiancée is really capricious, even Miyazawa Kiichi's eldest granddaughter doesn't give face to her!
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and the topic was deliberately led to the Gulf War by Kaoru Miyazawa.

"I heard that Sosuke, you are shorting crude oil futures in the United States?" Kaoru Miyazawa's voice was not loud, but it still attracted the attention of many people.

Kitahara Sosuke's "stupid" behavior is nothing new.

He exchanged 13.3 billion meters of gold from Sanhe Bank and went to the United States to sell short, which really made him bet right. Compared with not long after the war started, the oil price still dropped a lot. Although his short-selling method was ridiculous, the money he earned was actual.

Many people secretly gathered around and stood not far away to eavesdrop. Now that the battle is like this, this kid should have made a move long ago, right?

"Yes, is Miss Miyazawa also playing crude oil futures?" Kitahara Sosuke nodded.

Kaoru Miyazawa pursed her lips and said sweetly, "I'm not as good as you financial giants. I just use a little pocket money to buy casually. Sosuke, you should have sold all the crude oil futures in your hand, right?"

"Sell? It hasn't reached the lowest price yet." Kitahara Sosuke looked at her suspiciously, "Miss Miyazawa knows that I am shorting."

"puff!"

Someone couldn't help laughing.

Is this kid really stupid or fake stupid?

The financial giants on Wall Street have all cleaned up the oil companies, and the oil price will inevitably rise. As we all know, once the land war starts, the oil price will usher in a terrifying surge.

At that time, perhaps a 10% or 20% increase is possible!
Don't make a move yet, are you waiting to be liquidated?

Miyazawa Kaoru was also stunned. When his grandfather talked about this young man, even his always serious grandfather gently praised him, "Young people are awesome", why are you so stupid?
Has he not received the message from His Excellency Takeshita?

Thinking about it, the Kitahara family was not considered a real wealthy family. After the separation incident, if the separated Masao Kitahara's lineage was counted as total assets, it would hardly even reach the threshold of Tokyo's wealthy family.

It's normal to not get inside information.

But she heard that Kitahara Sosuke was a member of the admission association of Moonlight Manor, so why didn't the people in Moonlight Manor give him any news?

Kaoru Miyazawa was full of doubts. Considering her grandfather's evaluation of him and the secret meeting afterwards, she still approached Kitahara Sosuke and whispered in his ear: "Cangsuke, tonight, the multinational forces will start a land war."

That's all for this.

If he can understand, it is time to close the position now.

Miyazawa Kaoru thought so.

Then I found that Kitahara Sosuke had an expression of "I knew it a long time ago", but he still didn't move.

Somewhat disappointed, Kaoru Miyazawa felt that his 71-year-old grandfather was old and confused, so he found an excuse and left Kitahara Sosuke to chat and laugh with other financial giants.

Sosuke Kitahara stood quietly like a clown, looking at the Electric Town named Akihabara not far below, dreaming.

At this time, Akihabara has not yet become a two-dimensional pilgrimage site, mainly selling home appliances. However, starting this year, with the popularity of computers, new-age electronic products will gradually occupy Akihabara and replace home appliances.

He didn't take part in any coterie chats, was glad no one bothered him, and eavesdropped on the idiots' conversations.

As expected, all wealthy families with names and surnames have accompanied the government and consortia to get involved in the crude oil futures market. Perhaps at this time Soros is sneering at these Japanese financial giants who are crazy about long positions.

It's rare to see a scene where the whole country is still complacent after falling into the set.

The atmosphere of the luncheon was warm, and the real-time oil price rose to 30.9 meters gold per barrel as they wished!

Two days later will be the day when the Juliana Tokyo project will be officially completed. This project costing hundreds of billions of dollars has been completed at such a fast speed. A large part of the reason is the urging of Kaibu Toshiki.

He wants this project to be completed quickly so that he can add a rich political record to his tenure.

5 pm.

The TV station suddenly cut the broadcast, and a war reporter located in the Gulf region of the Middle East appeared on the screen and said in an excited tone: "According to the latest news, the multinational forces have officially launched a ground attack. Deploy 500 attack groups westward!"

it has started!

After 38 days of air battles, the multinational forces finally decided to land and confront the torrent of the Iraqi army's most elite tanks and ground forces!

Reminiscent of World War I and World War II, a ground war of attrition that may last for several years has officially begun.

For countries in non-war areas, this kind of war will definitely bring benefits, it depends on how they handle it.

The longer the war lasts, the greater the benefits.

The corners of Kaoru Miyazawa's mouth turned up slightly, looking at Sosuke Kitahara, who was alone behind the crowd.

She had already revealed the news in advance, but unfortunately he was completely unconscious, so who could be blamed?
The young financial tycoons beside him were all smiling, and Kaoru Miyazawa knew that they couldn't wait to show off in front of those big-chested, ignorant, silly and sweet rich girls, so she pretended to be shocked and asked sweetly: "Land war?" If it starts, will it affect crude oil prices?"

"Of course there will be!" A man replied with a smile, "Oil prices will drop sharply! The reason is very simple. Kuwait's oil wells, oil production plants, and transportation plants are all over the land. Once a land war breaks out, these places will inevitably be affected. A sharp drop will naturally lead to a crazy rise in oil prices! Even if the missiles of the multinational forces are not careful, those factories may be detonated!"

"Of course, if the big companies that control crude oil are willing to lower the price, it may make the price of oil rise less outrageously. Unfortunately, they have long been choked by Soros and others."

"Nothing will stop the crazy rise in oil prices anymore! Revel! Our wins! Long ours, cheers!"

"cheers!!!"

The voices of young men and women resounded through the sky.

At this moment, Kitahara Sosuke's cell phone rang.

It's a call from America.

"I'm Sosuke Kitahara, Romon?"

"Yes, it's me. I, I"

Romon spoke incoherently and couldn't say anything, but his tone already made Kitahara Sosuke feel that something happened.

Kitahara Sosuke stood quietly behind the crowd, watching the cheering crowd.

Breathe out lightly.

"Did the price of oil drop?"

"Real-time oil prices, am I, am I dazzled? Ms. Friedman, I, I or you tell me, let me take it easy."

30.9 meters gold per barrel is the price an hour ago.

At this time, the crowd was still immersed in the joy of the start of the land war, and no one paid any attention to the inevitable skyrocketing oil price.

"Hello, Sosuke Kitahara~ Can you guess what the price of gas is now?"

"25.7 meters of gold per barrel! Just last second, it was still 30.6 meters of gold per barrel!"

The roars, doubts, and screams on the phone were in stark contrast to Victoria's unique laughter.

"Really?" Kitahara Sosuke held the phone, the breeze blew, and the corners of his mouth were raised. At this moment, his smile was reflected in the eyes of Miyazawa Kaoru who happened to look back.

It became a moving picture that she will never forget all her life!
Phones rang one after another, like the whisper of a devil, like a spell chanted, like the end of the world!
Snapped!
The wine glass in Kaoru Miyazawa's hand fell to the ground.

First there was a deathly silence, and then one sentence after another of "impossible" filled the banquet venue.

Just now, the young financial tycoon who smiled and answered Kaoru Miyazawa's explanation of the impact of the opening of the Gulf War land war on oil prices covered his chest, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground like this!
