Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 862 New Opportunities
"Sir, you read wrong!"

Squeezing through the crowd, Carter, who came to the front of the team, saw the boss-like Japanese standing at the entrance of an izakaya-like building opposite.With a cold face without any emotional fluctuations, such a perfunctory sentence without sincerity spit out of his mouth
"You're lying! So many of us have seen it! Just now a brown-haired person, who should be from southern Europe, entered your store. Why don't we let him in? Just because I just said I'm American? You guys are discriminating!"

"We don't discriminate! You read that brown hair wrong. He is Japanese and his hair is dyed. We are just not qualified to receive foreign guests. Sorry!"

"You fart! His skin is obviously white!"

"He's an albino. You should respect them!"

"Then his nose is not like your Asians"

"He went to Korea for treatment. Well, is there any problem? If not, please get out of here!"

Compared with Sanjay Hammond, who seemed a little frustrated because he was rejected by several stores in a row, the owner of the izakaya looked like an old god, with no emotions, and even wanted to laugh.
A single-ethnic country like Japan is completely different from an immigrant country like the United States.People blatantly discriminate against you, what can you do?Here, you can't find a group that can empathize with you and cheer for you.

"Sangjie, let's go! It's pointless to argue with him here!"

Walking slowly to the temporary colleague who suppressed his anger, Carter suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity.
"I have been to Japan a few times before, I think I should know where is willing to receive us. If you have no objections, then come with me?"

"No, no, of course I have no objection."

"Sanjay, Carter is right. It's not worth it to compete with such unqualified people. Let's go!"

Looking at the many Japanese people watching him and others on the street, a group of people spoke in agreement.Aggrieved, really aggrieved!
You know, in the current history textbooks in the United States, Japan can be where it is today, it is all because of the United States!
I don't ask you to offer us up as gods, why shouldn't you treat us as enemies like this? !

"Okay, I understand Carter, thank you."

"Actually, you can't blame them. This is not something that happened recently. The last time I came to Japan, there was already widespread anti-American sentiment here! Taxis don't take American customers; ordinary small restaurants and taverns don't No American guests”

"As early as last year when Mr. President visited the United States, the Japanese media played up our talks as a black ship attack in the financial world. In the eyes of ordinary Japanese people, we are now invaders. In this environment , objectively speaking, if they didn’t beat you up, it’s because they are keeping restraint!”

In the KTV box on the second floor of the Tokyo Club, after the waiter finished delivering the drinks and exited the room, Carter started to raise the topic.

In other words, this topic does not need Carter to take the initiative to pick it up!
Because, even in the Tokyo club, a few people received strange looks!

Even being able to enter the door here is because of Carter's top Alison membership card!
As the club's most prestigious membership card, this kind of card cannot be bought through regular channels.There may be some in the hands of fighting cattle among very few scalpers, but the price is not to mention the average person, and the small bourgeoisie will have their teeth trembling when they see it.
In the club employee handbook, there is an article: All employees should do their best to meet all the requirements of Alison members!The superior foreman and leaders must fully cooperate!

It's easy to get in with this card out, and it's also easy to take some friends to leapfrog to the second floor.

The service staff also dare not express their dissatisfaction, doubts or indignation in front of themselves.But they didn't dare, it doesn't mean the rest of the guests didn't dare!
On the way from the gate on the first floor to the second floor.The most people on the first floor are middle-class bourgeois guests. In the Tokyo Club, which is not accepted by ordinary Americans, I suddenly saw Carter's business.
Concealed white eyes and palpable surprise are always unavoidable!
And these, Carter saw it, and his colleagues must have seen it too. It's just that
"Hmph, so according to what you say, should we allow them to suppress us unscrupulously? We are not unwilling to accept fair competition, but the source of their competitiveness is not fair in the first place, and they do not abide by the laws of the market!"

"For such villains, it's not that we don't obey the rules, but that they violated the principle of fair competition first!"

Sanjay Hammond, who grew up in San Francisco, California, had the biggest reaction to Carter's words.Perhaps it can be said that being brainwashed by idealized ideas is the deepest.
Who wouldn't expect a completely fair world if possible?
It's just that there is no absolute fairness in this world!
"Sanjay, why are you so excited? What Carter said makes sense, and he is really thinking about us. If you want to scold, you should scold those Japanese. Why are you angry at Carter!"

From the fact that Carter was able to enter the "unit directly under the Ministry of Finance" as soon as he was an intern, and the attitude of the service staff changed before and after he drew his card.It made Tang Gui realize that the thighs are coming!

So, to protect the thighs, if not at this time, when should we wait? !
"Sorry, I don't mean anything malicious. I'm not saying that Carter's words are wrong, but I don't think he should sympathize with those Japanese. Well, maybe I think too much. I feel that Carter's words are sympathetic to them. .”

"It's not about sympathy or sympathy. I believe you all know the relationship between the United States and Japan. There are some frictions now, but what can't be resolved? I just don't think there is any need to fight endlessly, or to say that both sides will suffer. situation."

Noticing a shadow flashing past the door of the private room, Carter wondered if Michio Yasuda had come.
But seeing that the time was ripe, Carter began to throw out the topic:
"Recently, domestic public opinion has been quite turbulent, and this year is another election year. I have reason to speculate that Mr. President may want to suppress Japan to earn living space for the United States, and also to earn votes for himself to win this year's election. !"

"This signal is a bit strong. You see, Secretary Reagan's performance today... Doesn't he seem very impatient? I feel that the White House should be putting pressure on Mr. Secretary of the Treasury. The next step, if the negotiations do not go well, or the negotiations are blocked, Mr. President is likely to use thunderous means to suppress the impact of these Japanese companies on our American market, just as you expect Sanjay."

"Out of simple patriotism, I certainly hope that Mr. President will do this. It is actually easier to win the support of voters than soft negotiations! Because everyone's emotions are the same, and no one wants their own territory. A group of outsiders trampled on wantonly, right?"

"It's just that we are not ordinary citizens! We are officials of the Ministry of Finance. We should remain calm and rationally look at this issue in this emotional state. I don't think that we should forcibly cut off our business ties with Japan with geo-protective measures." , is a good thing for the United States! It may be beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, it is not worth it!"
