Chapter 492, the embattled Tao Dalang(1/2)
No matter what the outside world is talking about at this time, after that episode was broadcast, the crew of the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha" was officially established.
Pantao Pictures announced a high-profile investment of 50 million yen. According to the real-time exchange rate at this time, the total investment has exceeded 7 billion yen, setting a record.
At this time, the investment amount of any neon movie has not reached this figure. At this time, the movie "Heaven and Earth" directed by the president of Kadokawa Shoten has just refreshed this figure, with an investment amount of 5 billion yen.
huge.
"Memoirs of a Geisha" instantly increased this record by 50%, fueling fierce public opinion.
So the Tokyo Prefectural Prosecutor's Special Investigation Department immediately added an additional investigation point: Is there any suspicion of money laundering for such a large investment?
After the people from the Special Investigation Department arrived at Pantao Pictures and Toho, the next step was to investigate the film and television shooting base in Kyoto.
Over in Kansai, Tokyu Electric Railway's Kobayashi Naoki was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He found Nobuhiko Horikawa in a panic. He didn't know how they talked, but Kobayashi Naoki stopped paying attention to it.
Focus on his renovation plan of Si Tong Old Street.
As for Tokyo, the board of directors of Sanyu Investment Bank did convene in advance.
Takagi Renpachi came here specially, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing.
He looked at Ryunosuke Iwasaki. The current head of the Iwasaki family was sitting there calmly, as if he was just listening.
However, Sumitomo's Zenue Ansai and Mitsui's Tatsuo Nojima were both absent-minded.
Takagi Renpachi knew why. Because of this sudden incident, the boards of directors of these two major consortiums seemed to have started elections in advance. If the original plan went ahead, these two people who were close to Tao Dalang should all be under the leadership of Tao Dalang.
He was the perfect choice to serve as president. But now, things have changed.
Tao Zhiming sat at the table and looked at each one.
When Takagi Jin met his eyes, he gave a helpless and solemn wry smile.
After a while, Tao Zhiming spoke first. He sighed: "Everyone, maybe this is the last board meeting of Sanyou Investment Bank. Let me report to you first, because of the incident in "Weekly Wenchun",
The income of the funds entrusted by Sanyou Investment Bank to Onodera Wealth for financial management has also been calculated."
Since Tao Zhiming made a lot of money at one time by using the funds of Sanyou Investment Bank, Sanyou Investment Bank has made a rule to use a fixed share to increase the value of Onodera's wealth.
But after what happened this time, at least in Takagi Renpachi's view, Tao Zhiming wanted to use this incident as a tool to test the attitudes of all parties. He said it was the so-called "last board meeting", and he already seemed to know the situation very well.
, it’s time to show off after saying it’s very serious.
Just listen to him saying calmly: "This is the situation last month. Due to the market changes brought about by the interest rate hike last month and the listing of the National Railway Third Branch, the profit is 87.35% higher than the usual month. Now
Let me ask bluntly: Do I need to terminate my cooperation with Onodera Wealth in advance like other private equity clients?"
The conference room was extremely silent, and Takagi Renpachi did not need to express his opinion. Although the First Bank said it had "joined" the Sanyou Consortium's plan, it was only in the "observation period" and had to wait until the next capital increase here.
will really enter.
At this time, Anzhai Shanwei said solemnly: "Dalang, in order to avoid being affected by the investigation of the Special Investigation Department, we should temporarily suspend it."
"Oh?" Tao Zhiming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking a little sarcastic, "If the Special Investigation Department is really interested in the whereabouts of the funds of Sanyou Investment Bank, wouldn't it make sense to withdraw from Onodera's wealth?"
"...I'm sorry, but the board of directors has made a clear decision on this matter." Anzhai Shanwei sighed, "Da Lang, please understand."
"Brother Nojima, what's your opinion?"
Nojima Tatsuo did not speak, but he obviously agreed with Sumitomo.
Tao Zhiming nodded, then looked at Sen Zhang: "What did the Sen family say?"
"The proportion of shares held by Mori Trust is very low." Mori Akira said lightly, as if the Mori family's statement was irrelevant. However, it also seemed to indicate that the shares were too small.
Tao Zhiming finally looked at Iwasaki Ryunosuke: "Iwasaki-san, what's your opinion?"
Iwasaki Ryunosuke glanced at him quietly, and then said calmly: "The Iwasaki family joined the Santomo Investment Bank structure because of the Real Estate Trust Charitable Fund. Now the funds entrusted to Onodera Fortune by the Real Estate Trust Charity Fund are being transferred
The audit investigation will be conducted by a third party. Before the results come out, it is not appropriate to expand the workload that requires subsequent audits. Therefore... I also agree to temporarily suspend the cooperation between Sanyou Investment Bank and Onodera Fortune."
However, Takagi Renpachi is very clear that Iwasaki Ryunosuke now has 10% of the shares, which is quite important.
For a moment, except for Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Hidefeng, who did not express their opinions, Tao Zhiming seemed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides in front of this table.
Tao Zhiming was silent. Takagi Renpachi couldn't tell what his emotions were, but the silence itself already represented some kind of anger.
When he was about to say something, Kinoshita Hidefeng suddenly said: "Dalang...that's it."
Tao Zhiming suddenly looked over, his eyes showing shock, confusion and anger.
Takagi Renpachi wanted to be good, could it be said...
Sure enough, Kinoshita Hidekaze took the lead and patted the table and said: "But! We must decide on the withdrawn funds today at the same time! Sanyou Investment Bank temporarily purchased the floor of Heaven's Gate to serve as its headquarters until a special headquarters building was built.
Use, this matter must also be decided at the same time!"
Tao Zhiming's face looked better, but it was still as dark as water, but his eyes also turned to Anzai Zenwei and Nojima Tatsuo.
Masahiro Ueda had been just looking at the table in front of him quietly, resting his hands on his thighs and sitting firmly.
There is no way, these guys are all acting, and he can't act, so he can only try his best to stabilize his mood and act like a wooden person who suppresses his emotions.
In Takagi Renpachi's view, the conflict has completely broken out. Tao Chiming's suggestion of disbanding the Sanyu Investment Bank and completely ending the Sanyu Foundation plan is just an angry talk. Kinoshita Hidefeng has experienced more things, so of course he has to speak from experience.
There is enough exchange. This exchange requires Mitsui and Sumitomo to decide first to purchase the real estate of Heaven's Gate to compensate them for their losses.
Anzai Zenwei took a deep breath and changed his title: "Mr. Tao, under the current situation, can the Gate of Heaven be successfully built, because the entire Kaguraku Town plan is also being questioned. Such a decision,
There’s no way to make it today!”
"Really?" Tao Zhiming actually chuckled, and then looked at Kinoshita Hidefeng, "Brother Xiufeng, if they don't agree, do you still want to persuade me to withdraw the funds from Sanyou Investment Bank first?
"
Kinoshita Hidefeng gritted her teeth, and the bones on her face moved under the skin.
"Forget it!" Tao Zhiming calmed down and said indifferently, "Actually, it's not much money, just a little over 40 billion yen in total. Then what? Do you have any other topics?"
If Tao Zhiming disagrees, as the largest shareholder, it is actually impossible to move forward with this matter.
Seeing that he actually gave in, Takagi Renpachi couldn't help but look at him seriously.
Tao Dalang has been investing in the yacht home port and the Gate of Heaven project here in Tokyo, but the payback period has not yet come. And Onodera's wealth is another major fulcrum for creating wealth for him.
Now, private equity funds in this fulcrum are withdrawing one after another, Housewives Financial Management Fund is also facing a withdrawal wave, and Real Estate Trust Charitable Fund is under audit investigation.
Now, he actually agreed to withdraw funds from Sanyou Investment Bank. As a result, Onodera's capital pool suffered a heavy blow, and the Gate of Heaven's investment at such a fast speed and regardless of cost was not just for the already announced January of the coming year.
After the official pre-sale, can more people be attracted to buy the real estate there and funds can be recovered?
At this critical juncture, if the construction progress of the Gate of Heaven is slowed down due to Tao Zhiming's liquidity problem, then it would really be...
However, the target everyone is targeting is the shares in his hands.
Nojima Tatsuo actually made a point at this time: "I have an issue here. Everyone, Mitsui's shareholding ratio in Mitsui Investment Bank is only 5%, and the board of directors thinks this is too small. Due to the recent turmoil, the board of directors proposed
Is it possible to divest?”
"...Although Sumitomo accounts for 12.5%, the board of directors...also has this idea."
"Restrictive financing policies for real estate may be introduced soon. If real estate prices start to fall, the interest discount pressure on trust charitable funds will greatly increase. Therefore, I also have this idea."
All of a sudden, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Ryunosuke Iwasaki all proposed divestment. The total shares held by the three of them accounted for 27.5%. According to the current capital scale of Mitsui Investment Bank of 200 billion yen, they will have to withdraw their capital in one breath.
55 billion yen. If the capital is to be withdrawn, there must be dividends from past earnings.
Tao Zhiming said that "the last board meeting was just an angry talk", but these three companies really want to be completely cut off?
No, Takagi Renpachi looked at them, this was just a threat. At such a critical moment, what Tao Zhiming needed most was Mitsui and Sumitomo, who he relied on as strength in the past.
Tao Zhiming looked at everyone with an indifferent expression, and his tone was still calm: "The second topic is divestment, okay. What else?"
He actually seemed not to care because he had seen through the real purpose?
"...There are only these two important things related to Sanyou Investment Bank." Anzhai Shanwei admired the calmness before anger that he performed, so he also spoke slowly and slowly in a calm voice.
"So, there are other things that have nothing to do with Sanyou Investment Bank, but are related to me personally? It doesn't matter, let's talk about it." Tao Zhiming took a sip of tea leisurely.
"Tao Jun, the board of directors also specifically mentioned your order with the Ouilt royal family and the payment for the products purchased from us." Nojima Tatsuo said first, "In addition... the previous land of WanderDane, because of the transaction amount,
It was lower than the market price at that time. In order to avoid risks, the board of directors also hopes to sell it back to you at the original price."
Tao Zhiming suddenly stared at him, and Nojima Tatsuo was shocked: Are you already looking for a role in "Memoirs of a Geisha"?
Takagi Renpachi called him a good guy. The land was sold for 1.5 billion yuan at that time. Now he is asking to sell it back, but it has actually increased a bit. Of course, Tao Zhiming seems to have made a profit of 1.5 billion yuan. But, this
It requires more than 200 billion yen in cash!
Tao Zhiming's leisurely mood disappeared, and he seemed to be completely unbearable. He sneered at first, then burst into laughter, and pointed his finger at them rudely: "Tell me the real conditions, there is no need to go around like this."
Bypassed! The land financing restrictions that Kaifu-san is insisting on are too unfavorable for you. Restoring economic and trade with Xia Guo has also angered the Americans and created new variables for the relaxation of semiconductor sanctions that you have already talked about."
Takagi Renpachi was thinking, and sure enough, he saw it clearly, and then heard him say sarcastically: "But, if you want to use this matter to make me regress, could it be that the Ministry of Finance announced the purchase of a four-story building and hired me as that financial researcher?"
As a special director of the center, don’t you think about what it means?”
"...Mr. Tao." Anzai Zenwei looked at him meaningfully, then sighed deeply and changed his title, "Dalang, Minister Hashimoto has received the summons and has received another question request from Congress.
Things have reached this point, and you should understand how serious the situation is. Do you really want to tell all the things you know? You know, they don't care. And we can only try to get out of this matter.
, reducing losses.”
Tu Qiongdeng saw this, and Tao Zhiming smiled funnyly: "So, in fact, we are fighting tit for tat here, but we are actually arguing for people who are not present? And, it is really ironic, you can really
