Chapter 523 This Is the Beginning
Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
Tokyo Industrial Bank Head Office Building, Office of the General Manager.
The gray-haired Shirakawa Takashi looked at the pile of red documents neatly arranged on the table, with a gloomy face. His wrinkled hand reached out to the landline phone aside several times, and then slowly retracted it.
The conversation I had with Kitahara Sosuke at that time kept echoing in my mind.
Spend everything the Shirakawa family has to help Kitahara Sosuke fight against the Takeshita family?
He can't do it.
At first, because he admired Kitahara Sosuke's ability, he suppressed the conflicts within the head office and promoted him all the way up, and even supported him into a new generation of backbone management that restrained Vice President Hiraiwa Keiichi and Executive Director Gennai Ken.
You can even work with him to bring Miyazawa Kiichi to the top and insert people from the Kitahara family into Tosan.
None of this is a problem.
In Juliana Tokyo in the late bubble period, the Middle East oil war, the shocking Tokyo Judgment Day, and the subsequent battles with Miyazawa Kiichi, Chino Ryu and others, he watched Kitahara Sosuke step by step towards a high position and established in the cracks. He invested in Beihara and expanded it, and also tacitly allowed Beihara Shenlang Credit Bank to enter the top industry of the financial industry.
He was betting on all this, but the rewards were huge.
That only 5% of the shares of the Kitahara clan company brought him huge profits far beyond imagination for the Shirakawa family.
But in the end, Kitahara Sosuke actually wanted to go up against the six major financial groups and the Takeshita family, one of the top ten wealthy families in Tokyo, and he didn't dare to gamble.
And judging from the copper futures war, several business transactions with Mao Xiong, and domestic material incidents, Kitahara Sosuke, who has done nothing, is no match for the Takeshita family.
He seemed to be trying to break the bank, and simply used the name of Tokyo Mutual Bank to go to Russia for development. Unfortunately, the distant water could not save the nearby fire. The profit generated by the 28 trillion yen century betting was completely incomparable with the Takeshita family.
So in the end, Kitahara TV station exposed the domestic price problem step by step, causing the further development of material tension. They considered it to be the last desperate resistance of Kitahara Sosuke because he was at his wits end.
Unexpectedly, in the last month of December, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse amid the changes in the copper futures price war.
Hamanaka Taio was arrested and thrown into a London jail without being able to be released on bail.
By the time they became aware of the problem, they had already discovered that 5% of the copper futures and part of the liquidity controlled by Sumitomo Corporation had been frozen!
What followed was one unexpected combination of punches after another.
Domestic public opinion continues to ferment, and material issues are imminent. Congress has repeatedly sent people to question the Agricultural Federation Association, demanding that the vacancies be filled. Otherwise, according to the frenzied looting of the people, the entire Japan will fall into an unprecedented panic by the end of this year.
There are no supplies, no jobs, and the financial industry has collapsed. Is this the end of the world?
Shirakawa Takashi originally held a glimmer of hope that maybe the Takeshita family might still be able to turn the tide. At this time, he absolutely could not jump repeatedly. Therefore, in order to show his determination, he used half of his family property to fund Takeshita Ascension, and at the same time, he began to fight within Tosan. The person who cleans up Sosuke Kitahara.
The first person to suffer was the former Osaka Nishi Branch Manager Kyoko Kobayashi. Not only was she suspended from her job at home, but she also had to undergo a joint review by the Financial Services Agency and the Tokyo Prefectural Prosecutor's Office.
But not even a week had passed since the suspension incident, and today, everything suddenly ended!
The Belovezh Agreement has been signed, and the Big Three have reached a consensus on the outcome of the bear. Gorbachev will definitely be unable to make a comeback!
What's even more terrible is that on such an important day, Yelkin, one of the three giants, officially issued a declaration and became the international banking authority and status of the Beihara Divine Wolf in Moscow. This is tantamount to a disguised slap in the face of the Japanese government!
At the same time, it also shows that Kitahara Sosuke's series of operations are not groundless, but have real practical benefits.
His Kitahara Shenlang will have more say in Xinmao Bear from now on than the Bank of Japan and other international banks.
Combined with the previous transactions made by Kitahara Sosuke, Ichiro Kita would rather quit Tokyo Mutual Bank than admit his behavior.
Now that he has been slapped hard in the face, members of Congress are pouring in with accusations.
Is Kithara Sosuke's judgment wrong?
The cooperation he finally reached was actually rejected by the Japanese banking industry?
This has to make people doubt the decision-making ability of the current Japanese banking industry executives.
From the citizens, to the bottom, middle and upper-level financial practitioners, to the parliamentarians, to the senior executives within the consortium, they are all questioning the capabilities of these bank executives.
Someone needs to take the blame for everything.
Ichiro Katsuda took the initiative to take over everything, and claimed that he would issue a formal resignation press conference in the middle of the month.
This is so unreasonable.
It's so weird.
Ichiro Katida represents the Sumitomo Foundation, and Takashi Shirakawa represents the Mitsubishi Foundation and is a staunch ally of the Takeshita family.
To put it harshly, even if you lose everything, you shouldn't give up so quickly.
Shirakawa Takashi frowned.
Ichiro Kita, what on earth are you doing?
"The only hope now is that the official disintegration will not happen this month, so that the ruble market can still be stable. The deadline for the century bet is the end of this year. Even if everything ends next year, Kitahara Sosuke will be the first to die."
Shirakawa Takashi comforted himself like this,
"As long as we can defeat Kitahara Sosuke and break up a huge Kitahara clan club, the previous losses will be nothing."
He looked at the phone and saw that the Takeshita family had not responded yet, so he could only wait for the time being.
A silver-white Mercedes-Benz was driving at high speed on the deserted road.
Seeing that the streets of Osaka had become a little quiet, Norika Fujiwara, who was sitting in the back row, was filled with emotion.
On her left is Kitahara Koai, who is playing with a dagger, and on her right is a pretty and cute prosecutor girl who is younger than her.
The girl is not tall, but the front of her uniform has a full arc that is almost bursting. The buttons of her shirt cannot be closed at all, and a trace of smooth white flesh can be seen in the gap.
She sat solemnly, holding a pen and paper in her hand. When she saw the street scene in Osaka, she couldn't help but ask: "Fujiwara-senpai, is Osaka, which is said to be more prosperous than Tokyo, like this? The price problem this time is too exaggerated. ”
"Yes, more than a year ago, I was still working here, and it is completely different from now. Prices have soared by 35%. No one can afford it, and it is still in the current economic downturn."
Fujiwara Norika's face was filled with sadness.
"These damn bankers are just worms that only suck people's blood. They will all die a good death! Hmph!"
"Ahem, Fujiwara-senpai." A girl named Chie Okawa coughed awkwardly, reminding Fujiwara Norika that there was an unfamiliar driver in front of her.
Fujiwara Norika quickly waved her hands: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. By the way, who is the bank employee we are investigating this time? It's mysterious. I asked the chief inspector, and he said he couldn't reveal it to me. Anyway, it was Minister Hashimoto personally ordered me to come forward to investigate.”
"Senior Fujiwara is now the female inspector with the highest success rate in handling cases at our Financial Services Agency. Only by taking action can we be foolproof. I have received the information here. Didn't you receive it, senior? The target of this mission is Kobayashi Kyoko, the head of Tosan's Osaka Nishi Branch. , suspected of abusing his position and embezzling 35.7 billion yen, he is indeed a bloodsucker."
"Boom!"
Before Chie Ohga could finish speaking, her head was hit by Norika Fujiwara.
"Wow, it hurts. Senior, why did you hit me suddenly!"
"Be careful with your image when you speak. We are prosecutors from the Financial Services Department. We must be measured. How can we call others a moth without any conclusive evidence?" Norika Fujiwara glared at her.
"Ah? Senior, it's obviously you who said this."
"Still talking back! Go back and copy the prosecutor's law!"
"I" Chie Dahe looked aggrieved, but Xiao Ai Kitahara on the side couldn't help but snicker.
