"Even a pig can take off if it stands on the right spot in Tokyo in 1985. And I will be that dragon that can command the wind and rain."
A top Wall Street elite is reborn in 1985 Japan, facing a family bankruptcy crisis right from the start? Saionji Satsuki exclaims: "This is like a max-level character slaughtering newbies in a starting village!" That year, the Plaza Accord hadn't been signed yet, and the yen was about to soar. That year, the prelude to the bubble economy had just begun, and gold was everywhere. That year, the future world's richest man was still writing code in his garage.
She started by shorting the US dollar, amassing her first fortune of billions; she targeted the stock market, exiting unscathed on the eve of the crash, and then snapped up real estate across Japan; she established the "Saionji Group," extending its reach into semiconductors, the internet, military industry, pharmaceuticals... When the bubble burst and all of Japan was in mourning, the Saionji family stood at the top of the world, monopolizing every aspect of Japanese life from birth to death.
Reporter: "Ms. Saionji, how did you manage to avoid the 'lost thirty years'?"
Satsuki elegantly picked up her black tea: "Because I took those thirty years away."
