Chapter 246 The War Between One Person and One Country
Nov. 1989, 9

On this day in Japan, there is an exceptional haze, and young people everywhere in the streets of Tokyo are wearing national flags and taking to the streets to protest!
Because someone did the thing that irritated them the most, and they have been fighting for the past five years to "reclaim the No. [-] spot in the world again".

School posters say the leaders of our country are trying to buy America!

On the bulletin board of the factory, Toyota was ranked No. [-] in car sales in the world!

On the street pictorial, the pictorial of Time Magazine [Tiger Tiger Tiger] was published in the streets and alleys!

Even when the Japanese stock market fell from 38000 points to 13000 points, they were all proud.

No one has ever stepped on their face and their insides~
until last night
Fuji TV and TV Tokyo even played a 50-second video of Tao Xi, the "stealer of the country", for an hour.

If it weren't for the participation of the Japanese National Guard, maybe these two TV stations are still broadcasting [Tao Xi's Gauntlet] in rotation.

Although TV Tokyo and Fuji TV have been sealed, they feel that it is not enough!

Tao Xi needs to be detained in front of the tomb of "Yu Ren" who just passed away. Only in this way can he be worthy of the efforts of each of them!
When people inquired about the whole story in the parade, no one said that Tao Xi had taken over their beauties, and no one said that Tao Xi had issued a gauntlet to all of them.

they just say

"Tao Xi is a kleptocrat, and he is taking away the wealth that belongs to our Japanese people!"

from five in the morning

The parade team gradually expanded from the five districts of Tokyo to twenty districts, and then a large number of blindly following crowds began, and then the parade team began their own "carnival".

The big screens that can be seen everywhere on the street are all broadcasting the news of NHK, and what NHK reports happens to be the attitude of Congress towards this incident.

The parade crowd wandered aimlessly on the street, and suddenly the big screen of NHK flashed.

The host held a microphone in his hand, and was wearing a COACH down jacket, pretending to be flustered and facing the camera.

At the beginning, she was right, but later she began to say intentionally or unintentionally: "Members of Congress have been here since the early morning of this morning, and two hours have passed since the incident, but they have not come up with countermeasures for a long time. "

"The public outrage doesn't seem to be working on them."

"All they care about is America!"

As soon as the words fell, the huge crowd of demonstrators suddenly screamed: "Go to the Congress! Make Tao Xi remember this lesson!"

one is two

two is three

The huge demonstration crowd began to move slowly, and many young people even took the initiative to be the vanguard and began to lead the way for the entire parade.

But they turned a blind eye to the robbery at the end of the parade 300 meters away.

This situation is happening in many places, and there are even stampedes in some serious places. Although Gerry Lively stands at the back of the crowd, he stands out from the crowd, but the [Reuters] press card on his neck makes him He got a protective talisman.

Not only did no one attack him, some even took the initiative to share some of their views with him.

"Do you know Tao Xi?"

The person interviewed replied with an innocent face: "Oh, don't be kidding, who doesn't know that kind of big man."

"Then do you know why they marched this time?"

The person interviewed accepted the 1000 yen handed to him by Gerry Lively with a look of hesitation, and then replied in a low voice: "I lost my job. Someone told me last night that if I could follow someone on the street There will be 500 yen for walking around, as for whether the big man steals money or not, it doesn't affect me, I don't even have a job."

"Good luck!"

Gerry Lively is serious about saving this guy on video.

He continued to take pictures of a restaurant that was being robbed not far away. An old woman who looked very old was holding an iron box tightly, and two very young people were chattering dirty words.

"Tsk!"

Gerry Lively shook his head helplessly and left.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but that he can't take care of it. His video camera has recorded as many as 40 similar incidents, and this is when he called the police.

However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department not only ignored them, but sat back and watched the situation magnify.

There is nothing he can do about this kind of thing, after all, he still has his own things to do!

but live in tokyo this year

Umemoto Kenta, who is already 47 years old, squatted at the door of his house with a tired face.

He didn't care about any of the young people coming and going, instead he squatted at the door smoking a stuffy cigarette by himself.

Just as he was about to run out of cigarettes, a middle-aged man with a leather bag stood outside the wall and greeted him.

"Umemoto-kun!"

Umemoto Kenta raised his head and smiled tiredly, "Beiyuan-kun! Why are you wearing this?"

Kitahara Ichiro, who was squatting next to Umemoto Kenta, put a piece of paper on the steps with a proud face before sitting on it.

"I came here to work, selling insurance services for the elderly!"

Umemoto Ken took one look at Kitahara-kun, an old guy who was almost 60 years old, who was still wearing a suit to work like a young man, and he couldn't help smiling.

He first took the leaflet and casually glanced at the leaflet.

But he couldn't take his eyes away from this sight. This leaflet named "Japanese Nursing Home 1.0" just mentioned his own problem.

As a worker at a Toyota automobile factory, his salary is really generous. If he waits for his retirement, he will not only receive a generous annuity, but the average monthly income is about 65000 yen.

Enough to live on?

Enough, if he can live to the age of 65, he and his wife's annuity will add up to a monthly income of 12 yen, but this is under the condition that there is no disaster or disease. Facing their family is bankruptcy.

And with the transfer of Toyota's car production line, their wages are getting lower and lower.

As for the nonsense on TV about other people stealing the country, they don't believe it at all.

"Are you sure I save 15 yen a month, and when I retire, I can retire to this European island?"

As soon as Kitahara Ichiro heard this, he immediately took out a contract from his handbag with a proud face and threw it over: "Oh, I'm an old guy who has taken a private jet, and I plan to go there after another five years of work. Living on Olivaru Island, I paid 180 million yen in one lump sum!"

Frowning, Umemoto Ken looked at the location of Shanghai Island in the flyer too seriously.

The location is very close to the United States, not far from the Bahamas and Florida, and the name of the island where you can retire in the future is very nice, it is called "Paradise Island"!
"When the time comes, I will leave my ancestral house to my son. I will take my boss there to retire there, and I will receive an annuity from the government every month. When I get there, not only will there be food, but also free medical care. Who does not like?"

Kitahara Ichiro's words are extraordinarily tempting!

Free medical care is basically unattainable in Japan.

Although it is said that individuals only need to bear 30% of the medical expenses, the miscellaneous expenses such as medical appointments, equipment testing, etc. can also spend their little annuity every month, not to mention the higher consumption day by day Level up!

The excited Umemoto Kenta remained calm on the surface.

But the old fox Kitahara Ichiro has more routines: "Look, this is the epitome of Japan's economic regression and population aging analysis analyzed by our company. If we don't plan for ourselves, we will not know when we receive pensions in the future. How much money is there!"

Umemoto Kenta took a booklet and carefully read it.

There are many contents in the brochure, but Kenta Umemoto saw that as of 1989, Japan's aging population accounted for 11.9% of the total population, and it is expected that the aging population will reach 5% in five years.

The increase in housing prices and the improvement of medical care will make Japan's aging population more and more serious.

Severe aging is followed by cost sharing. Sharing each cost on everyone's head will make everyone's treatment worse.

A 19-page booklet that shapes the serious consequences and crises of aging in Japan.

All kinds of professional data, whether they are professionals or people who don't know anything, are basically fooled. In addition, Kitahara Ichiro, a professional who has personally visited the island, is fooled.

"I went to that island and fell in love with it immediately."

"The sunset beach and the blue water are really beautiful, and each person only needs to pay less than 1.5 yen per month for house maintenance. Food, medical care, all are free money!"

"As for other entertainment, you need to pay extra yourself."

"It really is an island for the elderly."

Umemoto Kenta turned his head curiously and asked, "You were fooled into this after you went to work?"

When Kitahara Ichiro heard this, he replied with a displeased face: "What is it that I was fooled when I went to work! Kawai-kun, you know it!"

"I was moved by what he said, but I wanted to go on a field trip."

"But Kawai-kun told me that this is an employee benefit that belongs exclusively to [Sunshine Island Insurance Company]. I can only go and have a look at it after I get a job there."

"I saw that I was over 60 years old, and the other party was willing to hire me as an employee, so I went to join the job."

"The first week of employment is staff training, the second week is the inspection of Paradise Island, and the third week I will come to see you."

"It's just that the company's job requirements are a bit harsh. If I can't recruit 5 employees this month and sell 5 insurances, I will lose my job."

When Umemoto Kenta heard that the other party could travel as long as he joined the job.

He couldn't help but feel a little moved. He first left Ichiro Kitahara's pamphlet and then turned around and went back to his home.

Soros, who hadn't slept all night, watched the chaotic scene on the NHK big screen with red eyes.

The entire Congress site seemed to be cleared. Except for the NHK reporters, none of the extra reporters could see it. The marching crowd kept shouting in the direction of the Japanese National Assembly building.

"Apologize for shutting Tao Xi in front of Yuren's tomb!"

"Tao Xi get out of Japan!"

The momentum of the parade crowd on the big screen continued to rise, and the slogans became more and more unified. NHK reporters interviewed "victims" one after another with flushed faces as if they had won the lottery.

Soros raised his hand and glanced at the time pointer which just pointed to "7:00AM".

"Mr. Tanaka, has Congress formulated a strategy against Tao Xi?"

Ikuji Tanaka asked with a tangled face when he heard Soros's arrangement: "Tao Xi represents many people in the United States, and Congress still has to consider many factors."

After Yuji Tanaka saw that Soros was not that confident when he asked [Whether the Congress targeted Tao Xi's follow-up question], he couldn't help but feel stagnant.

"Mr. Soros, the current situation is very good, do you have any concerns?"

"We've got a leverage of 4000 billion yen for you, and now the Panamanian Commercial Bank has closed many outlets in response to the crowd's run on the storm."

Soros replied with confusion when he heard Yuji Tanaka's words: "According to the data reported by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal."

"Tausi embezzled a total of about 90 billion U.S. dollars in cash from the Panama Commercial Bank!"

"But until now, Panama Commercial Bank is still continuously paying depositors' deposits. At this critical point, Tao Xi unexpectedly dared to challenge me. I am afraid that Wells Fargo will also intervene."

When Ikuji Tanaka heard about Wells Fargo Bank, he couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Probably not. The promise of the White House at that time was that he would not interfere, and neither would Wall Street."

Soros snorted coldly and replied disdainfully: "If you believe the words of the White House, I guarantee that your Toshiba will have to change its surname!"

Tanaka Yuji couldn't help shrinking his neck when he heard this sentence, not knowing what to do.

While the two were still silent, the landline in the house suddenly rang.

"Call from Congress!"

There was a hint of surprise in Tanaka Yuji's voice.

"Mosimoxi."

"Hi, hi, hi."

Tanaka Yuji bent down and bowed without saying a word.

When he hung up the phone, Soros' eyes also looked over.

"Congress agreed to detain them for a total of 7 days!"

When Soros heard Yuji Tanaka's words, he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

"Notify all traders immediately to prepare for today's counterattack!"

"No matter how much money Tao Xi has, how much the institution sells, and how much we receive, we will buy more! Let them see the strength of Quantum Fund!"

The forces belonging to capital are constantly playing games, and no one knows who will be the final winner.

But what Soros didn't know was that yesterday a flight full of journalists flew from Los Angeles to Tokyo, Japan. When the flight landed, the reporters on the plane were carrying big bags and small bags in a very low-key way. The Suzuki cars at the edge of the airport left one after another.

No one knows their destination and destination.

Marko said to Tao Xi who was lying on the sofa with a worried face: "Tao Xi! A team of people from the Tokyo Police Department is about to enter Otaru City. It seems that they have already arrived in Otaru City."

"Oh, don't be afraid."

Tao Xi was lying on the sofa watching the NHK host's interview calmly.

"What do you think of Toshiba TV and Fuji TV's betrayal of us?"

The elementary school student who didn't look very old and had fluff on his face yelled at the camera angrily: "Get TV Tokyo and Fuji TV out, let Tao Xi, a country thief, get out!"

The host of NHK seems to have discovered a treasure.

A lot of questions were thrown out one after another. Seeing this scene, Akina Nakamori angrily walked to the front of the table and snatched the remote control away.

"What nonsense!"

"Tao Xi, just tell them to shut up with the data you gathered!"

Tao Xi waved his hands indifferently: "No, no, no, it's not about me and the Japanese people anymore, it's the Japanese government who wants to sharpen their knives at pigs and sheep!"

Akina Nakamori, who tilted her head, asked cutely, "Like a pig?"

"It's just because I'm fat, you want to kill me!"

While the two were discussing, Cadry Ferre walked in with a thick stack of folders in his hand.

"Boss, this is the latest income and expenditure report of the Panama Commercial Bank. Please take a look. There is still a fee to be paid on Paradise Island near the Bahamas."

When Marco heard this, he immediately became anxious: "You still buy the island?"

"Where do you still have money now! The entire Panama Commercial Bank is already in a semi-stalled state!"

"You have to pay 40 US dollars in labor costs for one day in Japan alone!"

Cadry Ferre did not speak, but put a financial report marked [Sunshine Island Insurance Company] on the table.

"Who told you I have no money!"

"The $60 billion that depositors took out is not money!"

"A bank that does not involve an insurance company is called a bank!"

Tao Xi slammed the financial report on the table with an arrogant face: "Do you know what viral insurance sales are? I sold 1 insurance policies in Japan in one month!"

Marco, who was staring wide-eyed, immediately asked in surprise: "7 insurance? How much did you charge alone?"

"180 million yen!"

After hearing this number, Marco calculated it on the computer for a long time with a look of excitement.

But the more he counted, the more Marco frowned, and Cadry Ferre on the opposite side took the lead to answer: "The total income is 2.3 million U.S. dollars."

"Oh!"

"Fxxk!"

"I knew that there is no such easy money in this world!"

"Tausi! That's a shortfall of nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars, and no one is willing to lend you a loan now. Even Old Shay has abandoned us. Who else do we have!"

Tao Xi shook his head helplessly when he heard Marco's words: "You said that if there are 10 residents on a private island, and this island does not have any management agencies and service agencies."

"If I sell the management rights of this island to this person, do you think anyone will buy it?"

After saying this, Tao Xi looked around the circle of people playfully, except for Cadry Ferre, everyone had a look of disbelief.

But with the passage of time, Nakamori Akina, who had gradually remembered, opened his mouth and asked Tao Xi in surprise: "You mean that the elderly in Japan were traded out as ordinary people?"

Marco immediately echoed: "These people have sold themselves and still have to pay you?"

"Sell?"

"This word is too ugly, but I provided them with free medical care and high-end housing, and I provided all the infrastructure on the island!"

Old West, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke out a question that everyone at the scene was most concerned about!
"You sold to the Saudis?"

Tao Xi happily snapped his fingers after hearing the old West's answer: "The answer is correct! But there is no reward, all right, beautiful lady and handsome gentlemen, I hope you can go out and provide me with a space for me to negotiate , because the arrival of the next guest is related to whether I can make those **** wastes admit their mistakes to me and apologize when the stock market opens today!"

Nakamori Akina kissed Tao Xi's forehead cutely, and old West pointed to Tao Xi intelligently and left with a smile on his face.

But only Marco kept muttering in his mouth when he left: "Saudis? It shouldn't be! I don't remember him knowing Arabs!"

"Sigh~"

"Oh! Fxxk!"

"I see, Tao Xi, don't I!"

Seeing Marco's crazy look, Tao Xi kicked his ass directly: "Get out if you know! Don't delay my business."

Cadry Ferre asked respectfully after seeing everyone leave: "Boss, how do you plan to arrange it?"

"Where are those people?"

"It would take at least 50 minutes for a police car from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to arrive at our place, but it might only take seven minutes for a group of guests from the Middle East to come."

Tao Xi glanced at the time【7:59AM】

"If there's time, just arrange this place as an auction house for me."

"Whether it's life or death, it depends on those big dogs!"

Shunsuke Osawa stood in front of the fleet of Toyota nanny cars with a wide grin and a neat suit.

When a Boeing 747 wide-body airliner landed at Hotdog Airport in Otaru City, Shunsuke Osawa hurriedly told the surrounding drivers who were ready to go: "Let me tell you again, the passengers who will board the car later are very important. If something goes wrong, don't talk about your work, I promise you will get out of the MGM Hotel!"

Shunsuke Osawa vividly expressed the "Muqiang" mentality of the Japanese.

The face-to-face and the back-to-back "way of life" were perfectly used by Tao Xi, and he was the most suitable person to pick up this distinguished guest from the Middle East!

After the plane landed steadily, Shunsuke Osawa glanced at his watch [7:29AM], he saw that the time was still too late, he just adjusted his breathing slightly.

A very young child got off the plane not far away. When the child appeared, Osawa Shunsuke's muscles tensed a lot.

Because that is the third younger brother of the big boss.

Few people in the group know Hill.

Many people know that Marco is the owner of Delao Rui Automobile and Tao Xi's younger brother!

But no one knew about Hill, a high-achieving student who was about to graduate from the University of California. Shunsuke Osawa just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit in front of the boss's third brother.

But the person who came out after that made Osawa Shunsuke stunned!

Because the boss of their MGM Hotel Group actually came to Japan in person?
"Oh!"

"Fxxk!"

The direct leader came over, and he would be stunned if he was still standing here.

Shunsuke Osawa hurried over and before the immediate leader could react, he bowed: "President Williams, I didn't know you would come in person this time, really."

Williams waved his hands indifferently: "Okay, I heard Tao Xi said about you, you did a good job in Japan, entertaining these guests today is better than anything else!"

As soon as Williams finished speaking, Saudi Arabians with thick turbans on their heads came out slowly one by one.

"1.2.3.4.5.6.7"

"There are a total of 12 guests, and this time the nanny car is all carried out according to the entertainment of the group."

At this moment, Williams couldn't care less about greeting Shunsuke Osawa.

Williams enthusiastically walked up to the Saudi Arabian at the head, first stretched out his left hand, and then kissed him face to face.

"Williams, it's really hard to imagine that you've improved so fast!"

"Oh, God, Feisal, you are still testing me. After all, I can't deceive you and your friends with such a big business!"

The Saudi called Faisal shook his head with a smile on his face.

He talked to a large group of people behind him for a long time. Although an interpreter was present, he did not translate for politeness.

When Feisal led the group of people and began to walk towards the convoy not far away under the leadership of Williams, Hill, who had been silent all this time, finally let out a long breath.

"Master Hill, I'm Shunsuke Osawa, your brother's secretary."

The elusive Shunsuke Osawa surprised Hill, and Hill stared at his big eyes and replied seriously: "Oh, hello, nice to meet you, but these Saudis still have certain feelings for us. Be careful, I hope you can communicate with the translator more about my brother's influence in Japan on the way, OK?"

Osawa Shunsuke couldn't help feeling happy when he saw that the third younger brother of the big boss was so easy to deal with.

Hill glanced at the time when the convoy started to drive [7:40AM]

"My brother said that the destination can be reached in about 10 minutes?"

"Yes, for the safety of the convoy, we have communicated with the security departments of Otaru City and MGM. Not only will the green light go all the way, but we will also provide security services for the entire convoy."

Hill couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the name [Department of Security].

What [Security Department] isn't that group of gunmen who advocate violence from the Blood Gang. Yesterday, a whole plane of people came here, even Uncle Kushner came in person.

When Uncle Kushner returned from Japan last time, every time he saw him, he said with a regretful face [I’m not here to blow up the shrine, I’ll definitely dig up the curtain of that shitty emperor for him when I go again].

Although others took it as a joke, Hill took it seriously.

Because Uncle Kushner really rarely plans the cause and effect of an event so clearly.
