Looking around, every inch of land is a forest of steel and concrete.

The bustling crowds, the heavy traffic, the luxury cars from all over the world, the exotic girls with different skin colors and dressing styles, all competing to be more beautiful, make this city full of unique scenery.

The sunroof of the Rolls-Royce was open. When I looked up, I saw densely packed skyscrapers reaching into the sky, and helicopters hovering overhead.

The rotation of the propeller is like a big dragonfly sandwiched between the layers of floors, giving a sense of immersion in a science fiction blockbuster.

The interior of the car is very spacious.

Nagano Nao was leaning on the right side, and Felina pulled out the car refrigerator and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Have a Coke!" Nagano Nao looked at the scenery in the sky, tapped the sofa casually, and wondered if he was too stingy.

Felina took out a Coke and asked the sickly Kurata Himiri, "Where is this beautiful lady?"

"Thank you! I'm not feeling well, so I don't need it!"

Because of her fear of the deep sea, Kurata Himiri has been suffering from seasickness and has not been able to recover until now. She looks very depressed.

Felina smiled without forcing him, turned to look at Nagano Nao, and said, "Why is Mr. Nagano suddenly interested in oil investment?"

"Known as the blood of industry, isn't this a good opportunity to buy at a bargain price at $11?" Nao Nagano took the Coke, took a sip, and admired the big horse in front of him without any hesitation.

The very straightforward look did not cause Felina's dissatisfaction. Instead, she gracefully switched her legs, blinked her green eyes, and said very sincerely: "Although it is true, the current trend of crude oil is very obvious. With all due respect, investing in oil at this time may not be a wise decision."

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Felina, but it seems that your duty should not be to say such things!"

"Beyond our duties, we can be friends, right?"

"Haha, Miss Felina is absolutely right. I have a question, I wonder if it's convenient for me to ask it."

"What's the problem?"

"How much is your salary at Goldman Sachs?" Nagano asked bluntly, and then added: "If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

Felina was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. The annual salary is about 150,000 US dollars!"

"Walter? A lady as outstanding as you, Miss Felina, only earns $150,000 a year?"

"After all, I'm just an intern, and the financial market hasn't been very prosperous in recent years!"

Felina shrugged.

It seems to be explaining why his income is low.

Nagano immediately stretched out his hand and said, "So, beautiful lady, do you have any thoughts on changing jobs? I can offer you $500,000."

What?

Kurata Himiri's eyes widened immediately.

The originally depressed spirit was immediately restored to vitality.

Before Felina could react, Kurata Himiri knelt down on her knees and pressed her small hands on Nagano Nao's thighs.

It was too sudden.

Felina was stunned and felt her dignity was insulted.

Obviously.

The other party is hinting at you to do the same job.

This is absolutely intolerable.

Felina's expression changed: "Sorry! I have no plans to change jobs at the moment!"

"That's a shame! Speaking of which, I registered a company in the Cayman Islands before and needed a person in charge, but unfortunately..."

Nagano Naoio explained casually.

Of course he knew that Kurata Himiri was doing something bad, but it was wrong to scold his secretary at this time.

Felina was also very smart and regretted it immediately.

Just now, she thought that Nagano Nao meant to support her, and her job was to kneel humbly at the feet of a man like a Japanese woman.

But obviously, he had just rejected a very tempting position.

After taking a look at the harmless Kurata Himiri, Felina immediately apologized and said, "Because my thesis defense is coming soon, I can't change jobs before I get my diploma."

"Thesis defense? Miss Felina hasn't graduated yet?" Nagano glanced suspiciously at the exploding figure in front of him.

With this figure and appearance, she doesn’t look like a student at all! “Yes, this is my first internship at Goldman Sachs, so…”

"What a surprise! Excuse me, how old are you, Miss Felina?"

Nagano Nao said while looking at the groove.

Felina smiled charmingly, cast a provocative look at Kurata Himiri, puffed out her chest and said, "21 years old."

Kurata Himiri was secretly proud of her own cleverness, and was furious at this provocation, but she couldn't show it at this time. She could only suppress her frustration and rub Nagano Nao's thigh more docilely.

The inexplicable woman responded sharply.

Is it the principle of opposites repelling each other? Nagano laughed secretly and shrugged: "So you are the same age as me! I'm so sorry, I thought you graduated a long time ago!"

"Is it because we white people look older that Mr. Nagano misunderstood?"

"No. It's because Miss Felina, you are too beautiful. Excuse me, but with such a good figure like yours, it's hard for people to think that you are still a student."

"I didn't want it to be like this, but that's how it was in high school."

Felina said this with a helpless look on her face, but her eyes looked at Kurata Himiri again.

hateful!

What's so great about big breasts! It's really the inferior and lowly Americans who said such shameless and lowly words!

As one of the top investment banks in the United States.

Goldman Sachs has a lot of market share related to finance.

In particular, the acquisition of J. Aron & Co. in 1981 and its entry into new fields such as foreign exchange trading, coffee trading, and precious metals trading marked the beginning of Goldman Sachs' diversification, transcending the traditional investment banking agency and consulting scope and gaining a fixed income.

In addition to these, Goldman Sachs also has the GS Capital Co-Investment Fund, which relies on equity underwriting, bond underwriting or the company's own funds to make long-term investments of 5 to 7 years and then sell them for profit.

The diverse market sectors have enabled Goldman Sachs to always accept all sources of capital.

After the car stopped.

Led by Felina.

Naoio Nagano met with John Rogers and his team from Goldman Sachs' investment department.

A secretary brought coffee.

Just some casual pleasantries.

Nagano Nao picked up the coffee, took a sip, and mentioned the purpose of his visit.

Rogers' expression became quite strange, and his muscles twitched involuntarily: "Dear sir, what do you mean? You want to make a bullish investment in oil?"

"Yes!" Nagano Nao put down the teacup and said calmly.

Determine the tone.

Rogers tried hard to control the muscles on his face so as not to laugh out loud.

What is oil? The blood of industry? Yes.

There is no doubt that oil is an irreplaceable energy source in the world and the real blood of industry.

But the price of blood can be very expensive or very cheap.

You know.

After experiencing two oil crises and skyrocketing oil prices, the US government, as the world's largest oil importer, almost went bankrupt twice. Everyone has had enough of the economic crisis and social unrest brought about by the skyrocketing oil prices.

Therefore, in the 1980s, with the support of the Republican Party led by Rockefeller, the US military arrived in the Middle East. After these years of operation, oil prices continued to fall.

But this is far from enough.

As America's greatest enemy, the threat posed by Mao Zedong surpassed everything.

What is economy? Consumption and production.

currency?

A symbol for resource allocation.

Su Mao has inestimable oil and natural gas reserves, giving this bear terrible power and potential.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure.

As long as there are problems in the Soviet-Mao economy, there will naturally be problems internally.

Now.

It was a critical moment in the East-West Cold War.

At this time, hitting oil prices and gradually destroying the vitality of the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong to boil the frog in warm water is a common strategy of the United States and Europe.

How could oil prices possibly go up?

Kuwait is expanding its production, Saudi Arabia is expanding its production, and both major OPEC oil-producing countries are expanding their production. In order to avoid having their market share taken away, other countries have no choice but to expand their production together.

In this way, the scale of supply expands, and the factor of supply and demand determining prices comes into being.

Naturally, oil prices will only continue to fall.

But this little Japan in front of us actually proposed to bet against Goldman Sachs on oil prices.

Oh my god!

Are these little Japanese going crazy because of their swellness?

Still thought he could decide the price of oil! Rogers covered it up well.

But from the strange look on his face, Nagano Nao certainly knew what this guy was thinking.

You can say that.

In this era, no one supports rising oil prices.

In addition to the international situation, the economic situation is also very bad.

Whether it is Europe or the United States, finance, manufacturing, real estate, unemployment, or bankruptcy, no one knows which one will come first.

It is precisely because of the bad economy that Japanese cars have become popular all over the world.

Just one reason.

It is cheap, durable, and the most fuel-efficient car. You can save a little money every time you fill up the gas tank.

But some things always lead to unexpected events due to human uncertainty.

Even as the world's number one superpower today, many things are not completely under the control of the United States.

At this time.

Rogers bit his tongue hard and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being frank, but this seems to be a very stupid investment. I think you are also aware of the current global economic situation. It is a very bad time now."

"I am only concerned about whether my counterparties will be unable to afford the losses and unplug their network cables when oil prices skyrocket."

What? Worried about Wall Street's solvency?

Are you stupid?!

This is Wall Street!

As a global financial center, it influences the world situation and one action determines the world economy. You are stupid enough to see the increase in oil prices, but you still doubt our solvency?! In this world, no one dares to discriminate against the United States like this since World War II! Except Japan!

It's bad enough that they keep talking about buying the United States, but they also openly say that Americans are an inferior and lowly nation.

Now a junior director of an insurance company is acting so abominable! This is simply too much.

Damn little Japan!

What's so great about being rich? Rogers felt insulted.

But the customer is God, and an investment of 50 million US dollars is a financial offer that the company cannot refuse.

Stupid guy.

You will soon be punished for this stupidity and arrogance.

With such self-comfort.

John Rogers forced a smile and said, "Mr. Nagano, please rest assured. Wall Street is a financial center with a good reputation. How could it do such a thing? If the price of oil rises as you expect, I guarantee that you will get the profit you deserve."

"That's the best. I still have great faith in Goldman Sachs' strength. Let's continue our pleasant cooperation."

“.”

A series of cooperation agreements were signed.

After confirmation.

Nao Nagano left Goldman Sachs with his secretary and staff.

Looking at the backs of these people.

John Rogers spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Damn Japan is too arrogant, why are there always such arrogant guys!"

"John, stop complaining. If you go to Japan, you will know how hateful these bastards are! Can you imagine taking a thousand dollars out of a taxi and being looked down upon and frowned upon by the drivers?"

"Walter? How could this be possible!"

"That's the truth. When I went to Tokyo before, I was looked down upon by those taxi drivers. What's even worse is that when I wanted to go out and find a girl, they wouldn't even serve me!"

"Oh my! Don't all their ladies like money?"

"If you are willing to spend $10,000 and go to a place like Kabuki Ichibancho, you will be treated well, but it's like going to a nigger gathering area and looking for the lowest-class girls, which will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Are you willing?"

"Fuck. If it weren't for the United States, these little Japanese wouldn't be so rich. This time, I'm going to make this bastard lose everything."

"I hope so! These little Japanese are really abominable! What's so great about having money?"

“.”

What’s so great about having money?

All right!

It's really amazing to be rich.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Seto Shinnosuke’s brain.

I actually want to buy the Statue of Liberty.

What's worse is that this guy actually contacted the owner of a computer company and went to the New York State Government.

Five hundred million dollars!

Because I gave too much.

Many people feel worried about this.

When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and some people even exclaimed: The country is suffering the greatest humiliation since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

And as early as a month ago.

The famous New York Times publicly expressed its concerns, saying: "All the eye-catching assets have been purchased by Japan, and one day Japan will acquire the Statue of Liberty."

People were talking about it.

Due to nationwide opposition, the US government ultimately did not approve the acquisition plan.

But many people still angrily curse that the United States has become a colony of Japan.

A new day.

Because the plan to acquire the Statue of Liberty failed, Seto Shinnosuke looked a little frustrated: "Oh! It's such a pity that they don't even plan to sell it."

Nagano Nao was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, but his eyes stayed on Tanaka Takahisa, who was about the same age as him.

This is the friend that Seto Shinnosuke knows, the chairman of Toshiba Computer Corporation. He is 27 years old, but his net worth is already 12 billion US dollars, which is ten times higher than that of Buffett.

"Why would Mr. Tanaka suddenly want to buy the Statue of Liberty? The United States will definitely not sell this iconic building that symbolizes freedom!"

"Nagano-kun, don't you think it would be a great sense of accomplishment to buy the Statue of Liberty and place it at the foot of Mount Fuji, and then wear a kimono?"

Tanaka Takahisa said this with great regret, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Full of seriousness.

Nagano suddenly felt that he would never understand what was going on in these guys' minds! What kind of brain circuit would make them think of buying the Statue of Liberty? "Is there any hope for these idiots? !"
