Chapter 600: A Battle of Fame
One month after the outbreak of the Argentine financial crisis, in December 2001, the momentum not only did not abate, but also deteriorated further.
International short sellers and speculators, like beasts smelling the blood of wounded prey, swarmed in one after another, all wanting to get a piece of the action.
At the same time, not only Japanese journalists, but also foreign journalists gathered outside the Hard Gold Group’s headquarters building.
News vans were parked one by one around the Hard Gold Group building, hundreds of cameras were set up, and there were even more camera lenses.
Not only that, but a large number of news media reporters were also gathered outside the main gate of Hard Gold Capital’s headquarters in Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku.
The reason they were here was that they had received information from a reliable news source. The number one short seller of the Argentine financial crisis was Masayoshi Kishimoto of the Hard Gold Group.
In the past, the person who did this kind of thing was either an American or a white person from a certain country in Europe. This time it was changed to Asian faces, yellow skinned Japanese.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was initiated through the temporary headquarters of Kiyoshi Kobayashi, the president of his Hard Gold Capital, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
At this time, Kishimoto Masayoshi has long received the news, not only do not dare to go to the company’s main entrance, but also the entrance to the underground parking lot have long been ambushed a large number of reporters waiting for themselves.
He could not even go to the company. So, in the morning, he left the door, naturally, he could not go towards the company, so he had to go to Natsui Makoto’s place to stay first.
After Natsui Makoto had read the relevant reports in the morning news, her first reaction to seeing him again was as if she was looking at a panda at the zoo.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was uncomfortable by her look and said, “What, don’t even recognize your man?”
“Get over it! I was foolish and naive to think that you were just an ordinary office worker in a small company. Later on! I realized that you are the owner of a big-handed enterprise.
Now! Not only are you a plutocrat, but you’re also a man who can short other countries. You know what? At the moment, you are not only the idol that many young Japanese people admire beyond measure, but there are also many who see you as a national hero.” Natsui Makoto said bluntly.
“So what?” Masayoshi Kishimoto asked back in a cloudy manner.
“You’re famous, made a big name for yourself. You are famous, not only within Japan, but also renowned all over the world. Some financial experts are highly praising and evaluating you, calling you the Yataro Iwasaki of Japan in the twenty-first century.” Natsui Makoto sat down beside him, sideways was staring at her man with an expression of adoration, saying.
“Aren’t you especially proud to have a man like me?” Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned his back against the sofa, completely unmoved by the words of praise from the outside world.
Natsui Makoto nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice and said, “Of course I’m proud. I am so common and ordinary, while you are so outstanding and powerful.
Even though I am not able to marry you and become your official wife, being able to become one of your inner edge wives already makes me very satisfied.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto knew deep down that she was not that kind of woman who spoke her mind. In front of herself, she had always been truthful.
“And you don’t feel aggrieved?” Justice Kishimoto said after a moment of silence.
“What do I have to feel aggrieved about? I don’t feel aggrieved for a single star. I’m a super happy woman, okay?
For a common and ordinary woman like me to presume that one possesses you would not only be a fool’s errand, but also insatiable.
Not only do we have a pair of children between us, but you also manage to visit us often, which is already extremely good.
Not only that, you also gave me such a big set of good house, also gave me a car, a super high credit limit platinum card subsidiary card.
On top of spending money, you’ve never limited my spending either. You’ve never hit me or even scolded me.” A smile spread across Natsui Makoto’s face as she said.
“You really don’t mind that I’m not able to give you a name? There’s also the fact that I have other women outside, and you don’t mind either?” Masayoshi Kishimoto asked tentatively.
Natsui Makoto shook her head left and right and said, “I really, really don’t mind you saying some of this. Isn’t it particularly normal for a distinguished man like you to have multiple partners of the opposite sex around you?
The fact that you are able to say this to me already proves that you trust me. If you don’t want to say these things to me, I’m also able to do so without asking questions.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto really didn’t know whether he should be happy or saddened by her generosity. If he were to talk to Sakai Rie about such a topic, she would be able to flip out on the spot and mess with him.
He wasn’t unaware that Sakai Rie didn’t care if she was outstanding or not, she had never thought about sharing a man with any other woman in her head. Not even her own sister, Sakai Mirei, definitely not.
“You don’t believe me?” Natsui Makoto said noticing his thoughtful look.
“Nope. I just feel that it’s a little bit unfair to you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.
“There is absolutely nothing to it. I know that you love me and the children. Emotionally speaking, you are a good man and an equally good father.
From a practical point of view, you have given me and the children an excellent and affluent life, completely fulfilling the responsibilities of a man and a father.”
While Natsui Makoto was tinged with gratitude, the fact that she was able to have all of this nowadays could not be explained by any reasonable explanation other than good luck.
Previously, she felt that she came from the lowest stratum of the society, her life was bitter, and her life would be a tragedy, but she did not expect that her personal destiny would undergo a shocking reversal, and not only did she have a good man who loved her and whom she also loved, but he was not an ordinary person.
Their own life trajectory from tragedy to comedy. She looks back at her little sisters who came from the same background as herself, still living in the depths of reality.
Her own best girlfriend, Uehara Tomomi, had already run away to Thailand to hide from her debts, and she was afraid that the other person would never come back to Japan in her life.
There are people who marry a man for a short time and then divorce. They live alone with their children. As for the former husband, he ran away a long time ago.
This means that the alimony, maintenance, and support that the other man is supposed to pay according to the law are all gone. The Japanese police do not care about this kind of thing, and they can’t handle it, because there are so many cases like this every year.
There are people who are either victims of domestic violence or who meet a variety of scumbags one after another. There are also people who, even if they meet a nice man, are still living with each other’s hardships ……
