London.
There are very few buildings that soar into the sky.
The landmark buildings are only about a hundred meters high. Looking around, the buildings are generally only a dozen meters high. They do not have the wealth and prosperity that a developed country should have.
If Japanese cities look like a big rural area, Tokyo is just like a third-tier city.
The first impression of London, a city with a long history, when viewed from afar is that it is old and backward, almost no different from the fifth-tier cities in one's memory.
But when you walk into the city center, you will have a whole new understanding of the definition of a developed country.
This is London! The political, economic, cultural and financial center of the United Kingdom, it is the city with the largest number of museums, libraries and stadiums in the world.
There are 19 Fortune 500 headquarters and 7 of the world's top 100 universities in London.
This is the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is also the world's largest foreign exchange market, with a trading volume accounting for more than 60% of the world's total.
This is a world-leading world-class city and one of the world's richest, most economically developed, most commercially prosperous and highest-living cities. It influences the world in politics, economy, culture, education, science and technology, finance, business, sports, media, fashion and other aspects, and is also a model of globalization.
Although, the buildings here look very old.
But as the world's largest financial center, it controls 45% of the world's foreign exchange transactions and pricing power for commodities such as gold, silver, and crude oil.
The average daily foreign exchange trading volume is as high as one trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world.
The global prices of non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tin, etc. will be greatly affected by price fluctuations on the London Stock Exchange.
It is also the world's largest banking, insurance, futures and shipping center.
London has always topped the list of comprehensive city strength in the world published by the Mori Memorial Foundation.
A group of buildings that look simple and old are located on the flat ground.
There are magnificent and imposing buildings in the Baroque style, symmetrical and substantial buildings in the Georgian style, and brightly colored Victorian mock-Gothic styles.
This city is gorgeous, exquisite, elegant, rugged, and integrates a variety of architectural styles. It has a profound historical heritage and is also full of the fresh breath of modern society.
There was a constant flow of people on the stone-tiled floor, and people were dressed conservatively or elegantly, fashionably or avant-gardely, but they were all obviously dressed carefully.
Brand stores from all over the world and international cars can be seen everywhere, and the people coming in and out all indicate the wealthy life in this country.
And they are all developed countries.
In Japan, every day seems to be short of time. Office workers always seem to be in a hurry and are racing against time all the time.
The UK has another characteristic: time seems to slow down here.
A bench on the roadside.
There was an old man in a windbreaker, holding a puppy, wearing a sophisticated hat, holding a newspaper in his hand, watching quietly.
In the street cafe, young men and women in fashionable clothes sip coffee and enjoy the pleasant autumn weather.
The pedestrians on the street also seemed to be in no hurry at all. They were leisurely strolling, looking around, dawdling with their cup of coffee, and slowly and lazily walking into the surrounding workplaces.
"Ouni, is this England? Why do people here look so lazy?" Nagano Chiyuki's face was full of curiosity and novelty. She looked at the passers-by around her, somewhat unable to understand the foreign world.
This question.
Nagano Nao actually thought about it seriously.
But looking at the historic buildings around him, mottled and weathered, the sense of time on the large buildings reminded him that London had already looked like it today hundreds of years ago.
"Because humans are creatures that, once they have enough to eat and drink, they will become very lazy. Do you think they are all like our East Asian Monster Room, where everyone is a king of rolls?"
"East Asian Monster Room? King of Volumes? What does that mean?"
"Of course this question is because of comparison! The British are very lazy. As long as they are full and satisfied, they don't want to do anything, so they look very lazy!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder the British Empire declined! The British are just too lazy!"
"Who would want to go to work if you can eat and drink while lying down?!"
"That's true, but isn't diligence and thriftiness an excellent quality of our species?"
"Do you like school?"
"dislike!"
"In that case, do you think everyone likes going to work?"
"I definitely don't like it!"
"So this is why East Asia is called the Monster House! Laziness is human nature, and if you go against human nature, you are a monster, right?"
"That makes sense! But if you're not diligent, life will be difficult!"
This answer.
Nagano Nao smiled slightly: "Whether the logic and causal relationship are correct, you need to use your eyes to form a dialectical observation. Qianxue should seriously consider whether it is because life is difficult that she has to work hard, or because of hard work that life is not difficult."
"Is there any difference?" asked Chiyuki Nagano with a puzzled look on her face.
Nagano Yuki laughed, took her hand and said, "Qianxue, you are such an idiot! Please think about it, from the shogunate era to the Meiji Restoration, why are most people still so poor despite being so hardworking?"
"Because technology is the primary creative force! This is also the foundation of our country!"
"Does this have any direct relationship with whether hard work can change one's life? Please don't forget that the Chinese have always been very wealthy!"
"Why is that?"
"That's why you must study hard! If you study history at a university's history department, you will understand that the value of hard work and exchange is the fundamental factor that determines whether you are rich, and such value is a kind of distribution, which is coordinated in the form of economy and finance! But in the shogunate era, the daimyo and the nobility controlled the resources for their own rule, but used the method of exhausting the people, so that the people would not starve to death or have enough food. In order to survive, the people had to become hardworking and struggle."
Such profound words.
Nagano Chiyuki still didn't understand.
But she still knows what the Chinese people represent.
So he looked at Nagano Nao and said, "In that case, Onii-chan was a big bad guy in the past!"
"That's the bad guy from Nakamura Nao's family. What does he have to do with me, Nagano Nao!"
"So what Onai said is right?"
"That's probably it! It's like being tireless like an ant, racing against time, working overtime and overtime, and always feeling like there's not enough time every day. If this kind of life isn't anything like that, then what is it?"
"This is too much! You're making my life so difficult. I won't have to work overtime every day like Onai when I graduate!"
"So, this is why Europe is known as the cradle of modern civilization! And we in Japan still need to learn from it."
Nagano Yuki said seriously.
But Nagano Nao always felt that this attitude towards learning was very strange.
No wonder the Heisei generation became a generation of otakus!
Even a girl with a fighting spirit like Yuki Nagano is thinking about learning from Europe and lying down. If all young people have this kind of idea, it would be very strange if they don't become a country of stay-at-home kids.
Follow the itinerary.
The Nagano family met Kurata Himiri at the University of London.
Upon learning that Nagano Nao was going to study abroad here, Nagano Chiyuki suddenly became anxious: "Ouni is too cunning! We clearly agreed to travel here, but he and Sister Fei are going to study here?"
"Straight man, are you really going to study abroad here? If you just want to study, the University of Tokyo is also great!"
Nagano Nao smiled but said nothing.
The middle class went to Germany, and the upper class went to Britain and the United States.
Don’t think that in the past, populism was prevalent in Japanese society because of the nouveau riche, and even Nakasone shouted that Americans were an inferior race.
But in fact, the best way out for the working class is to go to Germany for technical discussions and exchanges, and then return to China and join large companies, where they will definitely be valued.
Most of the upper class go to study in Britain and the United States.
Especially in the financial circle.
There are two must-visit places: first study abroad in London, then intern on Wall Street.
Because Britain is the birthplace of modern industrial civilization, a pioneer of modern financial markets, and a core region for global elites and upper-class people to build connections.
When you enter a university here, learning is only secondary. What kind of friends you meet and what kind of relationships you build will determine what level you will reach when you return to your country.
It is also for these reasons that the Chinese and major companies send trainees here to study every year.
certainly.
Learning is learning.
The British are still a lowly people.
There is no contradiction in this point.
"Yuki, you're so anxious! Are you worried that you'll be bored sleeping alone at night?" Holding Yuki Nagano's hand, Nagano Nao lowered his voice and said with a bitter face.
She was holding Chiyuki Nagano's hand, but was teased like this. Yuki Nagano blushed and quickly denied it: "No! I'm just worried that Kasan will be lonely at home alone!"
Boy! That's so exciting.
Nagano Nao remained calm, took Nagano Kanako's hand, and said stealthily: "Then let's go together tonight?"
"Baga! Straight man, you pervert! I'm going to fight you!"
Nagano Yuki was so angry that he raised his fist and used the Random Cloak Fist.
Kanako Nagano was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look up. Her face was as red as an apple and she wished she could burrow into the ground.
after all.
In front of Qianxue.
It is really shameful to say such shameful words.
But Qianxue was obviously very open-minded. She looked at Kanako's shameful appearance, looked at Nagano Yuki chasing after and beating Nagano Nao, and said very reasonably: "Kasan, don't be shy! Qianxue didn't hear anything!"
“.”
I have to say.
Money is a good thing.
Kurata Kisiri had already completed the admission procedures, and Nagano Nao and other staff went through a few procedures and became trainees at the University of London.
certainly.
This type of trainee is different from full-time trainees.
Seriously speaking, it is similar to the CEO class, and it mainly involves participating in salons, alumni reunions and other gatherings.
If there is an event, just go and meet the people.
As for the diploma.
This is really too simple.
As per convention, if you attend the charity event where you want to donate, then everything will fall into place.
Completed the admission procedures for the School of Finance.
Upon learning that the person coming to enroll was the president of the Ibo region in Japan, the school treated Nagano Nao and his group very politely, and even extended an invitation to the freshman admission party tomorrow night.
The event was held at The Cause, the most popular gathering place in London, and the college was specifically informed that its honorary director, Prince Charles, would be there, and that other alumni, including directors of National Westminster Bank, HSBC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, etc., would also be there.
This kind of invitation.
Naturally there is no reason to refuse.
Got the invitation.
Nagano Nao took his people and left the school again.
No outsiders.
Nagano Chiyuki could no longer contain her excitement and cheered, "Wow! Unnie is so awesome! But will Prince Charles also come to the freshman party? He's the Crown Prince of England!"
"Yes! This is amazing! This prince is the next king of England!" Nagano Yuki had never seen such a scene before, and she was obviously excited.
"King? Things change over time! This will probably take thirty years!" Nagano Nao said with a strange look on his face.
"How is this possible! How can it take that long, Your Highness?"
“.”
Women are creatures.
It's beautiful to watch when it's quiet.
But once they get excited about gossip, they chatter non-stop.
Especially when it comes to wearing formal attire for parties, these women are like five hundred ducks, making so much noise that it's really annoying.
The voice of Nagano Chiyuki is the loudest.
Even though she is a petite woman, when it comes to clothes, she has a lot of outfits.
Unable to bear their chattering any longer, Nagano Nao quietly waved his hand, motioning for the bodyguards to follow him, then said hello and got into the car arranged by the agency.
Arrived at the Isle of Dogs in Tower Hamlets.
Stepping onto the Canary Building, this is where the office of Nippon Seiho London Office was established a few months ago.
"My Lord! Thank you for your hard work!"
The president of the firm, Aota Heno, greeted him respectfully.
Nagano Nao nodded, and under his leadership, they went directly into the meeting room.
Qingtian handed over the established position account.
Westminster Bank borrowed 150 million pounds, HSBC borrowed 200 million pounds, Standard Chartered Bank also borrowed 50 million pounds, and together with other commercial banks, a total of 800 million pounds were borrowed.
Nagano frowned slightly: "Why is it only 800 million pounds?"
"Well, it is said that the UK has received 20 billion pounds of financial support from the European Community, plus 16 billion pounds of support from the Bank of England. If the position size is too large, the losses may exceed the company's tolerance."
"Stupid! The United States will do whatever it takes to suppress the European Community Monetary Union in order to revive its economy. You don't think that the European Community, which is independent of each other, has the strength to fight against Wall Street!"
"But after all, the UK is in the same situation as us, and the central bank may be unhappy about confronting the US."
