Chapter 217 2 Trillion Yen! ! !

September 13, 1990, 7pm.

In the core areas of six major cities, including Tokyo and Osaka, countless office buildings are brightly lit. Elites from the political and business circles gather together. Everyone looks anxious. Those with mobile phones are walking and talking on the phone, while those without mobile phones are queuing up to use the public fixed lines in the club. Phone calls, frantically trying to connect to the United States to inquire about the situation.

The reports on the Gulf War on TV are still going on, but Saddam has announced his acceptance of the ceasefire agreement. How long can the land war last?

As soon as WTI crude oil futures open tomorrow, it is estimated that a large number of people will line up to sell and close their positions. Unfortunately, overseas calls are still unreachable and the communication network is completely paralyzed.

Relevant families and investors have already begun to form financial teams and begin to calculate how to minimize their losses.

In the Prime Minister's Residence in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Toshiki Kaifu's terrifying roar echoed through the corridors. The eyes of the President of the Bank of Japan and Tibetan Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto were red, and they were each dealing with economic affairs. They felt a thick haze weighing on their heads and could not breathe at all. Don't get angry.

The president of Nippon Communications Co., Ltd. lowered his head to Toshiki Kaifu, almost knocking his head on the ground. He was submissive, but he could not explain the problem of paralysis of the communication network, and he did not know when it would be restored.

"I don't care what the reason is, how many resources I have to use, you, immediately, immediately repair the communication network for me! Otherwise! You, the president, just go to Shikoku Island to farm and catch fish!!!"

Kaifu Toshiki looked ferocious and panted heavily as he returned to the mahogany chair. Not long after he sat down, the affairs officer who rushed over in a hurry gave him another blow on the head!

The seven tanks of the government and the six major consortiums that entered the oil war of the Gulf War all overturned!

And they all chose to backhand short oil today and suffered the losses of that rebound.

The consortium, the core enterprises under the consortium, the elite (senior officials, bankers, lawyers, doctors, etc.) and the middle class representing Japan's economic interest circle were also swept into this disaster, and almost no one was spared.

"Quick, call the Prime Minister and the President of the Bank of Japan." Toshiki Kaifu held his forehead, his head covered with sweat, and the affairs officer bowed and ran out quickly.

After a while, Mie Noyasu and his two men came to his office with bloodshot eyes. Also coming with them were Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe and Noboru Takeshita, who had been discharged and returned to work.

At this time, a group of the most powerful people in Japanese politics gathered together, frowning, looking at each other with sad faces.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, cough cough cough. I have decided to leave for New York tonight, cough cough. At this time, someone must be... cough cough." Shintaro Abe, who had a painful face and kept coughing, said in a low voice.

"Taro! Your body" Toshiki Kaifu sighed. Shintaro Abe was suffering from ulcerative colitis. His body was thin and his face was miserable. He should have had a good rest at home, but he had to travel back and forth for his second election. As foreign minister, he also The only person qualified to go to the United States to negotiate at this time.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there must be someone coughing." Shintaro Abe's voice was weak. His health has become worse these days, but this time is the busiest stage of the Foreign Minister's work.

"How much loss did the Shin Abe family suffer?" Takeshita Noboru, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Our family, conservatively estimates, will lose 30 trillion yuan this time."

30 trillion!

30 trillion yen!

30000000000000 yen!

About 214.2 billion meters of gold!

What is this concept? In 2021, the world's richest man Bezos (Amazon CEO) has a total asset of almost 200 billion yuan. However, at his peak, the real estate tycoon Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who owns one-sixth of Japan's land, had a personal asset of only 1,650 million yuan. Hundreds of millions of gold.

Naturally, the Takeshita family will not go out in full force. The assets they invest are about 30% of the family's assets!

As Ryutaro Hashimoto, the weakest among them, remained silent, Yasu Mieye looked shocked. As the vice president of the Bank of Japan, he and the Prime Minister controlled the national economy, but he still did not know the real assets owned by these top wealthy families.

Financial groups and wealthy families will hide their total assets, and what they put on the table for ordinary people to see is just the richest individual or a wealthy family that has not yet formed.

Mie Yeyasu knew that these people controlled more than 90% of the country's assets, connections, and resources, and could kill and kill people with just a few clicks of their fingers, but he never expected that the monopoly would reach this level!

You must know that the financial budget of Osaka Prefecture last year was only 3 trillion yen, which was only one-tenth of the Takeshita family's loss this time!

These guys are obviously capable of resisting the US attack on the country's stock market and housing market, but they are unwilling to allocate a penny. They only want to continue to strengthen themselves and enslave the people!

"About 2 trillion." Shintaro Abe responded in a low voice. There is still some gap between the Shinta Abe family and the Takeshita family, but this money also took away almost 10% of the family's total assets. The total loss was a heavy blow.

Therefore, he dragged this body and ran to the United States to see the situation!

Sitting on the mahogany chair, Toshiki Kaifu looked at the two men with envy. They were worthy of being a wealthy family that had risen before World War II. The amount of wealth they owned was beyond his imagination. It would be difficult to rebuild a new wealthy family under the monopoly of these people. too big.

"The six major conglomerates are also having a hard time. They are not controlled by a few families before World War II. Now their assets and equity are dispersed, and the core families are frustrated, which may shake the foundation of the nation." Toshiki Kaifu sighed.

This is also the toughest question.

During the Gulf War, they all became the fat in people's mouths. If they only lost some family assets, then they would just admit it. There will always be time to slowly withdraw from the country and its citizens.

The problem is that this time the foundation has been shaken, which will affect countless clubs, causing turmoil in the clubs, triggering the butterfly effect, and the people at the bottom will take the blame for their behavior of betting on the fate of the country.

This is much scarier than losing hundreds of trillions or thousands of trillions of yen!

"So the top priority now is that Taro is going to the United States to find out the situation. We gave so much money to those American consortiums and government officials, but they turned around and stabbed us! We have to have an explanation. Hashimoto-san, Mieye-san is Responsible for calculating the amount of national economic losses this time, we will announce it as one-tenth, no, one percent, and add it to the pre-war preparation investment. I will be responsible for contacting and communicating with the consortium. Let’s see if there is any way to stop the loss in time. In short, the top priority is to close the position as soon as possible after the market opens tomorrow.”

Noboru Takeshita was even more sophisticated and made a decisive decision and began to issue instructions.

"Kaifu-san, starting from today, all kinds of pressure will come. The attitude of the consortium was very ambiguous before. You must hold on. If that time comes, you must apologize!"

"I understand." Toshiki Kaifu was so angry in his heart. This old fox said that he was trying to resist the pressure. Was he thinking about waiting for him to step down and then come back again?

After the discussion was completed, the few people immediately left the Prime Minister's residence and went their separate ways.

Mie Noyasu looked solemn and walked side by side with Ryutaro Hashimoto. After leaving the official residence, he lowered his voice and suddenly asked: "Hashimoto-san, how much did your family lose?"

"It's less than 100 billion yen. You know, Mr. Mieye, that if we are in our position and control the national economy, if we do too much, it will always be the reason for criticism by some people. This 100 billion yen is a small investment for my sons and daughters. , I didn’t get deeply involved in the Gulf War.” Ryutaro Hashimoto didn’t know whether he should be lucky or not.

Obviously the children lost all their assets, but I felt much more comfortable.

He has always adhered to the principle of not going too far. As the Tibetan Prime Minister, he should not be gossiped about the economy. His unique political philosophy also made him widely praised during his reign. The Likulut incident brought down two of the Big Three. However, as a core member, he was unscathed because he valued this more and it was difficult for others to get hold of him.

"That's a good thing! Hashimoto-san, this time things may be a thousand times more serious than they thought! Some time ago, the Bank of Japan and your Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance jointly audited the accounts and found that those big city banks had serious over-lending. These Wherever the money went, it was either the housing market or Juliana Tokyo, and some even flowed directly into the oil market! Even if it went to those two places, it would eventually be used by the consortium in the Gulf War! Therefore, the losses are not the little bit we see. ah."

Mie Noyasu's expression was stern, just like his determination when he popped the bubble with his own hands. The very old man sighed slightly and looked at the sky.

"The losses of the top wealthy families are measured in trillions, and the next level lost hundreds of billions, nearly 1 trillion. The elite class went bankrupt, and many middle class people could not afford the Gulf War, but they also invested all their money in the real estate market. But these so-called The losses are only their own money! Do you think the 30 trillion Takeshita Noboru said includes the funds they raised from below? Does it include those who followed them into the market? "

"What do you mean?" Ryutaro Hashimoto's heart tightened.

The old man next to you is more sensitive to the economy, and his estimates will be more accurate.

"The Great Depression can't be stopped!" A trace of sternness flashed across Mie Noyasu's face, "In this case, in the end, we should cut it off, and we can't accompany them to continue to hide holes! When Foreign Minister Shin Abe returns, we Let’s join forces and completely detonate real estate!”

The longer you delay, the more likely you are to die slowly.

Breaking and building again seems to be the only option!

Ryutaro Hashimoto didn't know why, he just felt a chill in his body. He couldn't imagine what Japan would be like after doing that.

At this moment, when Toshiki Kaifu gave a speech on September 1, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth and his slight bow suddenly appeared in his mind.

Inside the Prime Minister's official residence.

After clearing everyone out, Toshiki Kaifu took out a private mobile phone wrapped in a plastic bag and made an overseas call.

After a few beeps, the call went through.

A deep male voice came.

"Your Excellency, this is different from what was promised! Why was our communication network suddenly cut off and all my money was trapped in oil futures? Didn't you say that you would notify me in advance?"

"Mr. Toshiki Kaifu, don't forget who supported you in sitting in this position. This is a transaction. As a transaction party, I will naturally give you what you deserve. The Gulf War is not within the scope of the transaction."

Toshiki Kaifu's hand holding the phone turned blue, and he finally realized something.

I have become an outcast!

"Good night, and I hope you can get in touch with your head of futures trading tomorrow, if he can swim back from the Atlantic."

After returning home, Shintaro Abe immediately contacted the president of JAL and asked him to prepare a private jet to take him to New York. On the phone, the president of JAL casually mentioned a young man who had just bought a private jet from their club at three times the premium. People are so generous that they will be feared later in life.

Kitahara Sosuke!

When he heard this name for the first time, Shintaro Abe frowned. He always felt that he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it.

It wasn't until he got on the plane and the Undersecretary of Affairs sorted out Kitahara Sosuke's information. After flipping through it, he was shocked to discover that not all Japanese people were losing money!

This Kitahara Sosuke spent 1.33 billion meters on short selling and closed his position at the lowest price before the market closed!

Who is this person!

"How much did he earn?" Shintaro Abe asked in a low voice, covering his mouth.

The deputy secretary immediately replied: "1.33 billion principal, 38.6 meters of gold per barrel to enter, 16.6 meters of gold to close the position, I heard that it is a transaction without handling fees and commissions, with a leverage of 20 to 20 times."

"Your Excellency, he has earned a total of 13.83 billion gold!"

"13.83 billion meters of gold!!!" Shintaro Abe's eyes widened, "Is it about 2 trillion yen?"

"At the current exchange rate, it's about the same."

"2 trillion." Shintaro Abe's eyes slowly lit up.
