Chapter 21 Aeon Bank
Tokyo is still very cold in winter, especially after a heavy snowfall last night, the weather became even colder. If it weren't for someone knocking on the store frequently, Fujino would even want to wait until 10 o'clock before opening the door. He had just opened the store and Tsubya, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, stomped his boots and complained: "Funono, why did you open the door so late today?"
Fujino muttered while rubbing his sleepy eyes, "It's not that I drove late, but that you came early. It's not even six o'clock now, and it's just snowing. Except for you, a lunatic, who comes to the pharmacy at this time. By the way, I remember that you are often late for work, why do you get up so early today? Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Aren't I thinking that there are few people and it's not easy to be seen by acquaintances when I buy things." As he said that, Tsunya pulled out a newspaper from his arms and pointed to a big title on it to ask Fujino: "Hey, Fujino, give me five bottles of this Indian magic oil!"
When he heard that Tsuburaya was here to buy divine oil, Fujino laughed unceremoniously and said, "Ah, I said, why did you come here so early in the morning? You are also here to buy Indian divine oil. No wonder you are afraid of being seen by others. It turns out that you are afraid that you will be exposed when you brag to us while drinking."
Tsubaki said with awkward expression: "Where did you come from so much nonsense? I'll buy medicine with money, just sell it to me quickly. If I didn't buy it in other pharmacies, how could I come to you to try my luck?"
Fujino spread his hands: "Don't try your luck everywhere, tell you, don't talk about me now, even in Tokyo, I can't buy a bottle of Indian magic oil, because the Indian boss only brought three hundred bottles of magic oil, and was sold out yesterday morning. The order will be shipped at the fastest time. It will take two days to arrive."
"Ah!!! No, it's sold so quickly! Then this way, you can leave me ten bottles of the batch of goods in two days. When there are fewer people, I'll come and get them." Tubaya said a little depressedly.
Fujino waved his hand and said, "Don't think about this. The order of goods will be packaged directly by several large pharmacies. It's not the turn of a small pharmacy like me to get the goods."
Tubaya asked in confusion: "What did this Indian think? Since this magic oil is so popular in the market, why don't you send more goods? Are he afraid that he will bite his hands if he has too much money?"
Fujino explained: "You think people will have such a good opportunity to make money without starting? This is because he has no goods. It is said that this kind of magic oil was originally specially used by the emperors and nobles of India, so the production process is extremely complicated and the output is very low. The delivery in two days has already cleared his goods foundation."
"Well, that's right. I've also checked this thing. It's indeed something that was made for princes and nobles a long time ago. Oh, but do you think this thing is useful?"
"Then I don't know, I haven't used it before, but none of them came back to ask for a refund, which means the effect should be good, and isn't this the most obvious example here?" Fujino said, pointing to the newspaper in Tsunya's hand.
Tsunya nodded and said, "Well, that's right, if it weren't for Fan D'ai's withdrawal, I wouldn't have bought this thing at all. After all, my body is fine. I'm just curious about what magical thing can conquer Fan D'ai's, and even make her rather exit the restricted film industry."
"You can't do it. If you don't do it, you can't. Don't use any food as a shield! Actually, I thought something was wrong when we went to Yoshihara together last time. Why did you come out so early? You didn't spray before you even took off your clothes?" Fujino exposes him mercilessly.
Tsunya said in anger, "Go, go, go, don't spread rumors." Then he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, you just said that the order was packaged by several large pharmacies. Which pharmacies are there? I'll go there early the day after tomorrow."
Fujino teased Tsunya a few more words, and then he began to say the name of the pharmacy one by one. After recording it, he asked strangely: "Hey, Fujino, you can't be wrong, Aeon Pharmacy is not of the same level as the other ones. How could his family also obtain the monopoly of Indian magic oil?"
Fujino shrugged and said, "Then I don't know, maybe the boss of AEON has opened up the relationship with this Indian or has proposed special discount conditions."
In fact, Fujino's guess was not right. Aeon Pharmacy did not give Shakru any preferential conditions. Instead, Shakru took the initiative to propose this cooperation. The cause of the incident was this. Since Indian magic oil was sold, many drug dealers could not get enough share in the second batch, so they wanted to open up Shakru's relationship, so he received a lot of invitations for a while.
At first, Shakru did not want to give any special care, but when he saw an invitation with the title "Aeon Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Aeon Co., Ltd.", he suddenly remembered something, that is, when he was investigating the situation in the Soviet Union recently, he found that the Aeon Bank, a subsidiary of Aeon Co., Ltd., also participated in the sniping of the ruble.
Shakru was able to find out that this incident was not because of his big intelligence network, but because of his understanding of the mastermind behind the depreciation of the Soviet ruble in his previous life. At that time, many things had been made public, but it was still a secret at this time. The reason why the ruble depreciated wildly was that various foreign banks were also one of the masterminds behind it.
In 1990, the Soviet Union was in a period of great reforms. Soviet finance, which had been closed to the outside world, gradually opened up. A large number of foreign banks entered the Soviet Union. These "no need to queue up", "smiling in guests", and "independently accounted for modern private banks" sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Their free coffee and kind smile undoubtedly brought a feeling to the Soviet people: these foreign banks are much better than those state-owned banks! Against this background, these foreign banks and financial institutions absorbed a large amount of private and corporate rubles savings from Soviet private and enterprises through various gray means with relatively higher interest rates and a cup of free coffee. The people's deposits moved a lot from Soviet banks to foreign banks. In addition, foreign banks also used various gray means to withdraw rubles from the Soviet-Russian Central Bank, state-owned banks and state-owned financial institutions (loans for various engineering projects, etc., similar to China's current fake real estate mortgage loans).
AEON Bank’s branch in Moscow is one of these banks. This is easy to investigate. Just check the time this bank was in Moscow. Any foreign banks that entered the Soviet Union at this time went for this purpose.
