Chapter 512 Stepping Into the Abyss
The ruble is about to run out!
The ruble is about to run out!
The ruble is about to run out!
Takeshita Nobu, who was holding the wine glass, had a pale face and stared blankly at the TV in front of him. Even the beautiful female anchor who was broadcasting the news couldn't attract his attention.
"According to reports from frontline reporters, since the material riots in Miyagi Prefecture, similar incidents of panic buying of supplies have occurred in Kumamoto and Saitama Prefectures. People were terrified and began to hoard supplies for the coming 'cold winter', and what followed was What is more serious is the soaring price. The Bureau of Statistics report the day before yesterday pointed out that the price in November was already nearly 25% higher than in October. If it continues to grow at the current rate and if the problem of material hoarding cannot be quickly controlled, the price increase may be as high as mid-November. Breaking through 30%!”
"Here, the Prime Minister's Office and the National Assembly have jointly issued a document calling on the public to shop wisely and stock up, and not to become an accomplice of price gouging. Governors of prefectures and members of parliament at all levels will also come forward to coordinate material issues in various places. During this special period, the public is invited to Don't be alarmed"
"The above is from a frontline news reporter of TV Asahi. Next, we will broadcast the next international news. On November 6, Russian President Yelikin issued ten presidential decrees, officially taking over the monetary power and economic power of the Union, and cutting off the central Funding supply to many sectors: The ruble exchange rate against the yen is increasingly declining.”
"Asshole! Kitahara Sosuke is taking advantage of the situation and betraying the country!" Takeshita Nobu was so angry that he threw the wine glass in his hand, and the pouring sake was scattered on the ground. The Japanese waitress on the side was submissive, bowing her head and not daring to speak. .
Hamaka Taio, who was sitting opposite him, also had a solemn expression, but compared to Takeshita Nobu's gaffe, he was obviously much calmer.
Yelikin's actions shocked countless people. The Western powers were all silent and waiting to see what would happen. The first impact of the turmoil in the alliance was the collapse of the ruble.
In early November, the ruble depreciated seriously, but it was not so exaggerated that everyone sold. However, after November 6, almost no financial giants were hoarding rubles anymore.
People who play with currency are most afraid of unstoppable turmoil in the country where the currency originates. This change means that the currency will never fall. It is simply unbearable for retail investors to bear the consequences of such changes. Even consortiums cannot resist this wave of pressure. .
Today, more than 60% of the rubles scattered across Japan are in the hands of the Sumitomo Consortium, 30% is in the hands of the Takeshita family, and the remaining 10% is distributed among retail investors and national treasury foreign exchange reserves.
This huge wave of devaluation suddenly caused nearly a quarter of the assets of ruble holders to evaporate. Before the August 19 incident, Takeshita Credit earned 30 trillion yen from 28 trillion yen, and a total of 58 trillion yen in rubles was remitted to him. After deducting various expenses and handling fees, there is now less than three-quarters left in my overseas account, and there are still hundreds of billions that have not been redeemed!
Hamanaka Taio calculated in his mind for a while that if this momentum developed by the end of the year, it would be difficult for the Takeshita family to earn 10 trillion yen. The bet with Kitahara Sosuke suddenly became unpredictable.
No one knows what kind of business Kitahara Sosuke is doing now, and how much assets will be added by the end of the year, but what is certain is that he has not been involved in Mao Xiong's material and financial industries.
"Kitahara Sosuke used the name of Kithara Shenlang Credit Bank to purchase a large amount of technology and military industry, and also took out a loan. The only money that can really be realized is probably 200 billion rubles, compared with Nobu-kun and your size. , it’s far behind, so you don’t have to worry too much.” Tainan Hamanaka comforted him, “Besides, he also wants rubles to be exchanged for yen. Domestic exchange channels have been stopped, who will exchange them for him? Judging from the market situation, it needs to be exchanged in yen. Exchanging money overseas is even more whimsical, and he will definitely lose."
Takeshita Nobu agreed with Hamaka Taio's point of view. He waved his hand, and the waitress who was kneeling on the ground immediately leaned over to take a new wine glass, filled it with wine for him, and handed it to him respectfully.
After drinking the sake in one gulp, Takeshita Nobu's anxious heart calmed down a little.
"I'm not worried about any changes in the bet with Kithara Sosuke. I'm worried that the pile of rubles in my hand won't go out. You've also seen the news. Now the rubles have become a hot potato, and no one wants to keep them. However, the supply crisis has been serious recently, and it seems that Kitahara Sosuke is adding fuel to the flames. Several presidents of the Agricultural Federation Association have already approached me. They can no longer withstand the pressure from Congress and need us to make up for the 10 trillion yen supplies as soon as possible. ."
Takeshita Nobu sighed, then gritted his teeth with an angry look on his face.
"These idiots obviously still have half of the supplies in their hands, but they insist that we return the other half. Could it be that the situation is tense now, so can't we first take out the supplies in hand for emergency response?"
He didn't know that the Agricultural Federation Association had sold the remaining quarter to Kitahara Sosuke, and that the remaining quarter was now being shipped to six major cities one after another. The most important ones had to be secured first. There will be no problems in the city, but if this happens, other prefectures and counties will be in trouble.
"Is there an agreed deadline?" Hamanaka Taio's heart skipped a beat. What he had guessed had indeed happened. After a group of idiots from the Agricultural Federation Association received pressure from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Industry and Trade, they could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south. They really asked Takeshita The family asked for supplies.
Because of the Kitahara TV program, the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office also needed the Takeshita family to express their stance to appease the angry people.
The question is, who will pay for this money?
Now that you have money, where can you buy supplies?
"How much money does Nobu-kun have on hand?" Hamanaka Tainan asked calmly.
"It's not much money. As you know, the 28 trillion yen I bet with Kitahara Sosuke all came from our family's property and savings from various places. I will pay the money back soon after the funds are withdrawn. What is left in my hand now is definitely not enough for 10 trillion yen." Mega yen, where to buy supplies is also a problem." Takeshita Nobu had a headache. His father had entrusted this matter to him, and he had to do it beautifully enough to block the mouths of other branches of the Takeshita family.
My father is almost eighty years old, and he really doesn’t have a few good years to live. Once he dies, the position of head of the Takeshita family will be completely vacant.
Takeshita Nobu is young and powerful. If he controls the entire Takeshita family at this time, his power will be unprecedented, and it will be just around the corner to kill Kitahara Sosuke.
"Nobu-kun, I have a way to raise some funds for you." Tainan Hamanaka knew it was time to express his position, "But..."
"But what?"
"I hope Nobu-kun can help me take over the Kita family after defeating Sosuke Kitahara!"
Jitian family.
Takeshita Nobu looked at Hamaka Taio, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"No problem! As long as Kithara Sosuke is finished, his things will be our things." Takeshita Nobu grinned, "Is there any way Hamanaka-san can help me raise this money for supplies?"
