Nagano Nao was quite moved.
For a long time, Germany has been like an indestructible cockroach, fighting again and again and being defeated again and again.
After being beaten badly in World War I, the Second World War came back again. He thought he was starting off as a king, but ended up being nothing but scrap metal and was beaten badly again.
As a defeated country, Germany knelt down again after the end of World War II and was divided into two countries by the East and West camps - Democratic Germany and Federal Germany.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure in turn affects the economic base.
As the birthplace of Marxist economics, as if it was destined, with the development of the global situation and the outbreak of the Cold War, East and West Germany became the front line of the European front.
But today, as civilization evolves, nuclear weapons have forced humanity's struggle to become more civilized.
Economic war and financial war have naturally become new means of warfare.
In order to contain the Soviet Union, suppress the economy and cause changes in the economic base, just like the situation in the East, the Federal Republic of Germany received support from the entire Western camp and its economy and financial industry developed rapidly.
It is also in this context.
The foreign ministers of the six countries signed two treaties in Rome to establish the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, namely the Treaty of Rome, and later signed the Treaty of Brussels, deciding to unify the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community, collectively known as the European Community.
Subsequently, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Spain and Portugal successively joined the European Community, the predecessor of the European Union.
In some ways, it makes sense for a strong country to become a weak country, and it also makes sense for a strong country to become a strong country again.
Like Japan, the defeated country, Germany faced a lot of war reparations after the war, scorched land everywhere, and an economy in tatters.
But obviously, both defeated countries understood that a strong youth means a strong country.
It was almost the same choice. As the economy had just recovered a little, both countries made the same choice, dual-track education reform.
That is, enterprises and vocational colleges divide the work and cooperate to allow young people to learn technology and improve the social status of technicians at the same time.
Students graduating from ordinary high schools can choose their future career direction according to their interests, while enterprises guarantee the income and status of technicians and achieve division of labor and development.
This education reform, known as Germany's post-war "secret weapon", not only determined the transformation of Germany's social system, but also made Germany one of the European powers again.
Because there are enough talents in the basic manufacturing industry and relying on a strong industrial base, the mark has also become the third largest currency in the world.
In this situation, although the European Community's headquarters is in Belgium, the Mark is too strong and Deutsche Bank has the implicit status of the European Community's central bank.
After the Plaza Accord, according to the agreement, Germany and Japan assumed the responsibility of appreciating their currencies to correct the overvaluation of the US dollar.
Therefore, like the Japanese yen, the German mark appreciated within five years and became one of the major currencies after the US dollar and the Japanese yen.
However, during the years of division between East and West Germany, there was a huge economic gap, with West Germany's GDP and per capita income being several times higher than those of East Germany.
I remember that when the two Germanys merged, the two German marks were exchanged at a one-to-one ratio. In order to make up for the gap in regional economic levels, achieve rapid integration, and reduce social unrest caused by the huge economic gap, after the merger of the two Germanys, the Deutsche Bank implemented an easy monetary policy and frantically injected money into the currency, making Germany the number one economic power in Europe in just a few years.
Then the mark rose again, and house prices in major cities rose together.
Buying a house? You can earn foreign exchange and also profit from appreciation.
What a huge profit!
Without any hesitation.
Nao Nagano agreed to Yoshiaki Shingo's proposal.
However, while the two were talking, they did not notice that the ministers behind them were looking at them with eyes that were more cunning than the last.
Both presidents have very strong backgrounds, especially President Nagano, who became the president of Osaka Asset Management right after graduating from university. His background must be very powerful.
There must be some inside information to make such news about buying a house in Germany!
They are all savvy people in the workplace and know that they can only make big money by following a big boss with connections.
What's more, by doing the same thing as the president, you can not only make money, but also show your respect and admiration for the president.
"Well, Mr. President, are you planning to invest in some real estate in Germany?"
"I just feel that staying in a hotel is inconvenient, so I want to find a place to spend the holiday, and invest in it at the same time."
"Your Excellency, you must have a good eye. Besides, you can come here to escape the heat in the summer and ski in the winter. It would be much more convenient to come here frequently for vacation and buy some property."
"Seto, do you want to buy a house here too?"
"Yes! Germany is the third most powerful economy in the West after Japan, but the housing prices are so cheap, there must be a lot of room for appreciation!"
“.”
The news that President Nagano was going to buy a house spread like wildfire.
The news that President Yoshiaki was going to invest was also spread within Hankyu.
Therefore, at dawn the next day, a large group of house-viewing groups appeared on the banks of the Main River in Frankfurt.
Nearly two hundred tourists, led by salesmen from various real estate companies, visited the houses here. They were the same group of guys who raided Goethe Street like Japanese invaders yesterday.
And now, this gang has set their sights on the house here.
"It seems that you all have a good relationship. If you are interested, I recommend a group purchase of the Schiller Group's building and environment."
"High-rise suite?"
"don't want."
"We Japanese don't like to live in coffin-like houses. Are there any villas? Let's go and see the villas."
Expensive? 4,000 Marks per square meter? Is that expensive?!
1 US dollar = 3.3 marks.
It's just a thousand dollars.
"Mrs. Nagano, look at that villa. It's so beautiful."
"Ms. Yuki, look, their villa has a chimney, how magical!"
"This is a real villa, not a single-family house! It's so cheap!"
“.”
Cheap?
Even though Frankfurt is one of the financial centers of Europe.
At one thousand dollars per square meter, housing prices are definitely not cheap at all.
The women chattered and pointed at the villas around them, discussing which one they were going to buy.
The salesperson had a smile on his face, but he was a little crazy inside. How the hell are these Japanese so rich? !
The villas in Frankfurt have a unique European design. The architectural structure is three-dimensional and has a grand feel. The pure white steel and concrete building is also more solid than the Japanese single-family houses.
In terms of interior design, almost every villa has a traditional fireplace.
The blazing fire in the model house drives away the winter chill, making people feel particularly comfortable as soon as they enter the door.
Moreover, like in Japan, houses in Germany are sold only based on the usable area, not the built area, and there is no such thing as public areas. They also come with gardens and garages.
One thousand dollars per square meter is really too cheap! In terms of city level, Frankfurt is equivalent to a first-tier city like the Osaka metropolitan area. In Kyoto, even a single-family house costs about 1 million yen per stack.
That works out to about $4,500 per square meter.
A single-family house is a wooden building. Although it looks like a villa, it is not a villa after all.
A real villa costs at least six thousand per square meter.
Cheap!
It’s really cheap.
“Since you are foreigners, it may be troublesome to apply for a bank loan.”
loan?
Who do you look down on?
We Japanese need to take out a loan to buy a house in Germany? You have to pay in full! What a pity.
In this era, self-media is not well developed, and there is no Chinese self-media in Germany.
If there was, there might be news the next day - Japanese devils swept across a street in Frankfurt along the Main River, with pictures showing that it was full of villas.
"Straight man, won't there be any problems buying so many houses in Germany?"
Under the night.
Nagano Yuki blushed slightly and asked worriedly.
As a civil servant and a top student at the University of Tokyo, the money in Nagano Nao's hands definitely came from unclean sources.
It would be a different matter if he suddenly wanted to buy so many houses. If it were found out, it would be ironclad evidence.
Obviously.
When it comes to buying a house, even if the Japanese speculate on the price of houses to the point of bankruptcy, they still haven't figured out the true meaning of it.
"This is very simple! Just register the property under Qianxue and Kasan's names, and then I will change it back to the Nakamura family's name in the future. No one will be able to find out."
"Ah! Is this still possible?"
"Why not? You don't know how many ways there are to avoid risks and investigations when buying a house. Some people buy thousands of houses and they can avoid being found out!"
"How could this happen? With thousands of houses, any pig could find the problem."
“That’s not necessarily true!”
"Why haven't I heard of this?"
"Because you are too young!"
"Da-me! Why are you being so lewd? Someone will see you!"
"Just see it, is it illegal for me to lick my wife?"
"Hate it! Don't say such evil words."
“.”
Pay the money, go through the formalities, and register.
Most of the day passed.
Eight villas were obtained.
You know what, suddenly owning eight properties, I felt a sense of security and satisfaction.
But for the Germans, it was really impossible to understand the thoughts of the little Japanese in front of them, looking at the satisfaction and excitement on the faces of the little Japanese around them.
The salesperson was full of doubts.
But as a European, how could I possibly understand the feeling that a house is home? Unconsciously.
It was already dusk.
The setting sun is blood-red, hanging in the sky.
The entire Main River reflects the red sun, and the ships coming and going leave traces on the river surface. It feels particularly comfortable to just lean on the lounge chair on the balcony of the villa and look at it.
Yuki Nagano and Chiyuki Nagano were curious about the fish in the river, so they ran over to fish.
Nagano Kanako made some tea and brought it over and placed it on the table next to the recliner.
You’re not even to mention.
People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold.
This is absolutely true.
Suddenly changing out of her kimono and putting on white mink and a black mink scarf, Kanako Nagano immediately exuded a sense of wealth and elegance.
A rosy face, a plump and graceful figure, and eyes as bright as autumn water.
Just taking a look at it is a luxurious enjoyment.
Drinking tea.
Nagano Nao patted his thigh.
Kanako Nagano instinctively showed shyness. She glanced at her daughter and Yuki who were both by the river, then she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
The recliner is very soft, and the curved base makes it sway like a tumbler.
It was fine for Naoto Nagano lying alone, but as soon as Kanako Nagano sat down, she lost her balance. She screamed and fell directly into Naoto Nagano's arms, and the recliner began to shake because of the pressure.
Shake it! Shake it!
The feeling of holding that petite, charming and plump body in my arms and pressing it against my body is so great.
And Nagano Kanako was obviously enjoying this feeling as well. She curled up in Nagano Nao's arms like a little bird, letting his claws slide slowly and lightly on her body.
"Nai-chan!"
"Um?"
“This is our home in Germany.”
"Um!"
"Do you like it?"
"like!"
"Haha, call me master and let me hear it."
"master!"
“.”
"Da-me."
“.”
If we were to ask where in Germany has the best economy, it would naturally be Frankfurt. As the headquarters of the central bank, a financial center, and the European air traffic hub, although there are only 700,000 people here, the economy is extremely developed.
But if you ask where the most beautiful place in Germany is, it must be Munich.
As the capital of Bavaria, it is home to the Alps and the Isar River, and is one of the major economic, cultural, technological and transportation centers after Frankfurt. At the same time, it retains the quaint style of the former capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria, so it is called the "village of a million people".
But what people talk about most are the beauties of Munich.
A natural blonde beauty born from the Alps and the Isar River, she has a nice figure, exquisite facial features, and the fairest skin in Europe.
Before World War II, major Jewish estates were proud of collecting Munich beauties. Hundreds of Munich beauties dressed in black and white maids competed with each other for beauty, which was the most glorious show-off capital of the upper class.
Today, after World War II, Munich beauties have become the largest producer of German models with their unrivaled figures and looks.
Received news that Chanel is holding a lingerie show here.
A group of SPs parted ways with Nagano Nao and set out on the road to Munich.
Nagano Nao also wanted to go, but at this time, Nagano Yuki's emotional intelligence inexplicably increased. When she heard that it was a model underwear show, she refused to let him go.
To be honest.
As a man, who doesn't want to watch a fashion show?
All right!
The main reason is that although I am emotionally inclined towards the yellow race, it is just like eating vegetables, who doesn’t want to change the taste occasionally?
However, Nagano Yuki used threats and inducements, promising various new unlocked contents, and Nagano Kanako also said in a roundabout way that she wanted to go to Berlin to have a look. Nagano Nao had to put up with himself and came to Berlin temporarily with regrets and separation from the SPs.
Berlin in winter.
It was also covered with heavy snow.
After casually looking at the city scenery, with a different mood, Nao Nagano came to the symbol of the Cold War division between the East and the West - the Berlin Wall.
A wall that seemed to have no end was built as a steel wall that divided Berlin.
There are barbed wire fences on it, and you can also see border defense facilities consisting of watchtowers and anti-vehicle trenches.
I have only seen the legend of the Berlin Wall on TV, but seeing this wall with my own eyes, which is more than 100 kilometers long and has lasted for decades, I had a wonderful feeling of witnessing history.
There are still soldiers with live ammunition standing guard on both sides, and there are even tanks and armored vehicles not far away.
But at this time, the Berlin Wall was already in ruins.
Pedestrians came from East Berlin carrying large and small bags, and no one tried to stop them. Instead, soldiers from both sides gathered together, chatting, laughing and smoking.
Looking at this scene.
Naoio Nagano truly realized that the decades-long Cold War was coming to an end.
The bubble is about to end!
By that time, my forbearance should also come to an end (End of this chapter)
