The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property

A suburb of Chuo-ku, Osaka.

"Please, please don't come to us again! We are very satisfied with our current life. If you keep coming here, it will make us very distressed!"

The middle-aged woman with her hair tied kept bowing to Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika. In the dilapidated small house behind her, a young man who was probably in junior high school still held a wooden stick in his hand and looked at them with great vigilance.

"Then please accept these condolences and money." Kitahara Sosuke sighed, and Fujiwara Norika next to him handed over the gift box in his hand.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head and closed the door.

This is the only family that was persecuted by the Yamada-gumi and still stayed in Osaka. Their house was purchased at a low price. The unconvinced husband came to the door and was beaten until he vomited blood and cut off his right hand. Now he is shrinking at home like a cripple. , I dare not go out again all day long.

Because the houses were sold early, they were lucky enough to survive. The Yamada-gumi targeted these properties so that the people who sold them would no longer be in trouble, and the die-hards would end up miserable.

The frightened family once tried to report the crime to the General Affairs Bureau and the Police Station, but nothing was heard from them. Rights protection in this era is too difficult. Although the rights protection system in later generations is still not good, at least there is the Internet to create public opinion. .

In the 1990s, if they were really determined to go against the Yamada-gumi, they probably would have lost their lives before the case was launched and investigated.

(The position filled by Miyamoto Police Department was wrong. The level is roughly equivalent to the chief of the township-level public security police station and the captain of the police squadron of the township-level police station.)

The crime records in those documents were shocking, and Fujiwara Norika was filled with indignation. She was also a civilian, and felt the same way. She wanted to help the section chief completely destroy the Yamada group, but now it seems that it is too difficult for these victims to testify in court.

Kitahara Sosuke only held on to a glimmer of hope, more out of human sympathy. In his previous life, his father had always taught him that he should not be like a robot. The relationship and interaction between people were more important than many things.

This is also the philosophy of life he taught Fujiwara Norika.

He failed to do well in his previous life, so he traveled back in time. He maintained his ruthlessness towards his enemies and at the same time maintained his own conscience, never becoming an unscrupulous capitalist.

Maybe such a consortium would not exist, maybe it would be difficult to achieve, but it was challenging because of the difficulty. Originally, he just wanted to make a fortune step by step, enjoy life, sleep with colleagues, subordinates, celebrities, and all kinds of women, and spend his whole life wandering. Yeah, but that's so boring.

The most fun thing is to break the sky above your head.

"Let's go, Noka." Kitahara Sosuke waved to her, and took Fujiwara Norika to the parking place. In front of him was the road railing where Sakurai Saeko had a heart-to-heart that night, and the scenery below was infinitely beautiful.

He glanced behind him. When walking around Osaka, he couldn't forget what was behind him.

"Next, let's go take a look at the situation of those clubs. You will be responsible for the negotiations, Ji Xiang." Kitahara Sosuke smiled calmly and drove down the winding mountain road at high speed.

Fujiwara Norika said "Umi Tsubasa~" and lowered her head and started sorting out the information on her lap. Kitahara Sosuke called herself "Norika". She felt slightly sweet and rubbed the black stockings with her hands. She couldn't help but think of what she bought for herself that night. After taking away the clothes and stockings, there was also a pair of shameful sexy stockings in the bag.

Section Chief, does he want to see himself wearing that?

This is too shameful.

Does he have a crush on me?

Her mind was in a mess, she quickly shook her head to clear her mind and continued to review the information.

The morning international news is broadcast on the car radio. Nowadays, various communication methods are not developed. If Kitahara Sosuke wants to understand the international situation on time, he can only use the radio in the car.

On April 1, the United States announced that it would freeze all assets of Iraq and Kuwait in the United States, nearly four months earlier than history. In the early morning of the next day, with the close support and cooperation of the Air Force, Navy, amphibious operations forces, and special operations forces, , three divisions of the Iraqi Republican Guard crossed the Kuwaiti border and launched a surprise attack on Kuwait. At 5:30, the main attack force and the special operations force met in Kuwait City. After about 14 hours of urban fighting, at 7 p.m., the Iraqi army completely occupied the capital of Kuwait and declared it the "19th Province" of Iraq and said it "will always be an integral part of Iraq."

At this time, Iraq also claimed to be the "third military power in the world." Although it was a bit arrogant, its military strength was indeed strong. The United Nations Security Council voted to adopt a counterattack plan for Iraq's war of aggression. Military experts from many countries generally believed that this would be a war of aggression. A long war.

Not long ago, the two big brothers, the Soviet Union and the United States, formally reached an agreement and issued a "Joint Statement" demanding that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait" and "fully restore Kuwait's sovereignty, legal regime and territorial integrity."

Today, April 8, 1990, the radio broadcast the shocking news that the United States officially dispatched troops to the Gulf.

This means that the Gulf War will start within half a year.

In the past six months, due to the Gulf War, international oil prices will begin to soar, and the fall in oil prices will begin at the end of the war. Back then, they plummeted at a terrifying speed on the day it ended. The war ended so quickly, which shocked countless military experts. It also makes international capital and overseas consortiums suffer losses.

"There's going to be a war."

"It's time to make money."

Two voices sounded in the car at the same time.

Fujiwara Norika looked at Kitahara Sosuke in confusion, can this also make money? !

Is the section chief preparing to invade the oil futures market? However, shorting oil during a war may seem wonderful, but without information about war channels, it is easy to suffer a big loss.

"Section Chief, Iraq now has strong troops and complete equipment, and it is thousands of miles away from the United States. Even if the United States can win, it will take a long time." Fujiwara Norika reminded in a low voice.

Kitahara Sosuke laughed: "You are right. Iraq is known as a million-strong army. If a land war starts, the United States will have to mobilize many troops to compete. It will be too laborious and will hurt the national economy. But now it is a modern war."

He did not continue to say that this war would wake up the whole world.

The era of relying on manpower and guns to fight will eventually pass.

The information about future generations he holds in his head is a valuable asset that the consortium cannot match.

The special financing project plan is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Kitahara Sosuke is now waiting for the housing market to start falling, and then reaps the last benefits of the bubble bustling era in one fell swoop.

The accumulation of this amount of capital will allow him to participate in the Gulf War and oil war.

The Prime Minister's official residence in Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, on the same day that the United States announced the dispatch of troops to the Gulf.

In addition to members of the Prime Minister's Cabinet, those who participated in this important temporary meeting also included Ryutaro Hashimoto, Tibetan Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Yasu Mie, President of the Bank of Japan.

"This time in the Gulf War, the United States invaded Iraq under the banner of peacekeeping. It was simply to solve the increasingly serious oil crisis in their country. As long as the participating allies could get a share of the pie, they rejected us this time."

Toshiki Kaifu looked ugly.

"For the reason that the country was defeated in World War II."

Everyone was silent. As long as they contributed some money and resources, they could get a share of the oil pie. Who wouldn’t want it?

The United States is trying to punish them.

"Is there no room for negotiation? They have made so much money in our stock market, so they are preparing for the Gulf War." Ryutaro Hashimoto was not angry.

"Yes, that's why I called everyone here. There is also a meeting today called the 'Land Policy Relations Cabinet Meeting', which will put restrictions on land prices that have increased by more than 50% in the Osaka metropolitan area."

Toshiki Kaifu said to Ryutaro Hashimoto.

"What?! You want to lower the house price?!" Ryutaro Hashimoto realized something was wrong,

"Is this a request from the United States?"

"Yes. The real estate market bubble is going to burst. The six major consortiums that have invested a lot of money in Osaka and other cities will suffer the most serious damage. But being able to participate in the Gulf War is a good thing for the country and the people. Weakening the consortiums , enriched the United States, but also made our voice stronger." Toshiki Kaifu nodded, "When the bubble economy bursts, the future impact may not be very large. As long as we seize this oil opportunity, we can turn around!"

Ryutaro Hashimoto looked deeply at Toshiki Kaifu.

No wonder he, who comes from a small faction, can take the position of leader of the Liberal Democratic Party. It turns out that he has the support of the United States behind him.

As he said, by doing this, the benefits of the Gulf War can be easily obtained. As for the subsequent impact of the bursting of the bubble economy, there are still divergent internal opinions.

If the housing market and stock market collapse, as long as the financial sector does not collapse, it will be okay.

All the big banks are controlled by conglomerates and they won't let the financial system go wrong.

"Okay, but you have to find someone to do this."

You can't offend the consortium by yourself.

"Just Tsuchida-san, the director of the bank bureau."

Ryutaro Hashimoto nodded when he heard this and looked at Mie Noyasu. He found that the old man had been silent. It seemed that he had a source of information.

This water is a bit deep.
