It was Kenichi Sato who went to the hospital not long ago.

Nagano Nao said with some surprise: "It's Kenichi, why are you here?"

"Isn't that what I asked you?" Kenichi Sato asked curiously. He often ate here, but this was the first time he met his good friend here.

"I'm doing an internship at Nihon Seiinbo now, so of course I'm here. What about you? Aren't police officers provided with meals?"

“The cafeteria at the branch is just average. I prefer the beef rice here.”

The so-called branch is the name given by the police system to the district where it is located. Interestingly, the warning hall is often also called the head office.

Nagano Nao found this name, which sounded like a way of entertaining customers, very interesting, but what he found even more interesting was this guy, Kenichi Sato.

All right!

Although the Sato family has always been a political family, and several of Sato Kenichi's elders have served as prime ministers, they are only distant relatives.

Moreover, his father was a son-in-law who married into the family. With such a background, he was born as a bastard of a mistress. Therefore, Kenichi Sato has never been well-liked by the family.

This guy started working part-time in a convenience store when he was in junior high school.

A pair of sneakers can be worn until they become smelly, and people often try every possible way to save money just to save a hundred yen.

If his eldest brother had not died, he would probably not be able to get any resources from the Sato family due to his status as a bastard.

At that time, Nagano Naoio was of the same ilk as him, and they sympathized with and were dissatisfied with each other, and gradually they developed a deep friendship.

With a teasing tone, Nagano Nao said: "Is that really the case? Isn't it because the food in the cafeteria is more expensive than here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? As the heir of the Sato family, how could I come here to eat just to save money?" Sato Kenichi said seriously, but his evasive eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Oh, in that case, I won't tell you the latest first-hand money-making intelligence I got. Speaking of which, Japan Life Insurance is really a big company. I didn't expect the scale of investment to be hundreds of billions."

"You mean, there is a chance to make money?" Sato Takeru's eyes lit up. The contrast between his stunned look and his usual cold appearance was too great.

Facing such a guy, Nagano Nao said strangely: "As the heir of the Sato family, why would you care about such a small amount of money?"

"Damn it! I've had such a hard time, can't you please not destroy my pitiful self-esteem?"

Nagano Nao couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect to hear the phrase "人难不拆" again here.

I took the food and sat down.

He asked curiously, "Is it really that bad? You like saving money, so you won't be broke again, right?"

"Come on, do you think civil servants can get away with travel expenses like employees of big companies like you? I have to spend money every day and rent a house. How can I have any money left?"

"Would you like me to lend you some?"

"Don't you have to pay that back?"

"Are you thinking about eating clams?"

"What?"

Sato Kenichi asked with his eyes wide open, but his eyes were too small, making him look like a dazed chicken.

Nagano Nao pointed at the seafood not far away and showed an obscene expression.

Sato Takeru understood immediately, and said in a lewd tone, "How did you become so mean? Please don't tell others that I know you."

"Then you're making it very difficult for me. Since you don't know me, how can I tell you the news that you can make money?"

"Hey, hey. I was just joking. How can you be so petty? I can at least say sorry to you."

"Please stop it. I am already so miserable and you still want to exploit me."

"Agree or not?"

"Then you have to first tell me what kind of money-making opportunity it is. I don't believe you can get any useful information just by going to the internship."

"Please. I am the fierce dragon of Keio. Don't you know how many seniors I am in Japan?"

It seems to make sense! Sato Kenichi lowered his voice and said, "What kind of news is that? Can I make money?"

"The company is planning to make a large securities investment. Do you understand what I mean?" Nagano Nao lowered his voice, looking mysterious.

Sato Takeru was stunned for a moment.

His eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly, "This is really great news. No wonder all the guys in the financial industry are so rich? They must be buying some stocks, right?!!!"

"I have no idea!"

“.”

“.”

"Idiot, idiot. Are you kidding me? I knew an intern like you could know how to make money." Sato Kenichi was so angry that he completely forgot to maintain his image and his saliva was splashing out.

Nagano wiped his face in disgust and said, "Can't you wait for me to finish my words, you idiot?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know which stock to buy?"

"But I know the rest. Haven't you been paying attention to the global political situation recently?"

"What?"

"For example, what's happening in Eastern Europe right now?"

"What do these things have to do with us? You are not going to celebrate the Soviet Union's misfortune like that guy Iue. It is stupid to laugh at others when we are almost penniless."

"Come on, you are the dragon of the University of Tokyo, can't you think of other aspects? For example, what kind of impact will it have on us in Japan?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Kenichi frowned and began to think. Gradually, his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"You mean America?"

"Yes. Do you think that with Eastern Europe getting so bad, Americans can tolerate such a disgrace as Mitsubishi buying Rockefeller Center?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"No, I think it's even worse. Think about it. The central bank hasn't raised interest rates for many years, but in May it raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points at one time. And it's almost time for the Ministry of Finance and the central bank to rotate in power. What choice do you think the central bank will make?"

As a top student at the University of Tokyo and a member of a political family, Kenichi Sato is very sensitive in this regard. Now that he was pointed out by Nagano Nao, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ever since Caterpillar was badly beaten by Komatsu Manufacturing, Americans have often boycotted Japanese products. Some time ago, a large-scale protest broke out in which Japanese cars were smashed and damaged.

Japan's position has always come from the Cold War game, so it has been tolerant everywhere. But now the situation in Eastern Europe has become worse, and the balance has tilted!

In this situation, will the United States still tolerate economic suppression in every aspect?

Won't!

Absolutely not.

Considering the complicated relationship between the Ministry of Finance and the central bank, if a pro-American central bank faction takes office, I am afraid... (End of this chapter)
