Tsutsumi Yoshiaki looked at him, then laughed, quite self-deprecatingly: "Sekmoto-san, even if you want to sell it now, I don't have the money now."

"...Didn't you just sell a lot of real estate to President Tao?"

"Didn't you read the news? It's a low price."

"No matter how low it is, it won't be..." Director Sekimoto paused, then tentatively asked, "How low?"

"... Let me give you an example." Yoshiaki Tsutsumi smiled, "If you ask Chairman Tao about the land you mentioned, how much do you think he would pay?"

"How much?" Thinking of Tao Dalang's miraculous investment ability, Director Guan Ben couldn't help but feel nervous.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki stretched out five fingers and looked at him with a smile.

"Five billion? This is too..."

"No." Tsutsumi Yoshiaki interrupted him and shook his finger, "500 million yen, not ten."

Director Sekimoto suddenly changed his color: "That's nonsense! 500 million yen, how is that possible!"

"'We'll wait and see.' That's what President Tao said when I asked him for help." Yoshiaki Tsutsumi replied calmly, "Given my situation at the time, I couldn't afford to wait, so I decided to trust his judgment."

Ben-san, I just want to focus on one thing right now, and that is to complete Osaki New Castle as quickly as possible. Sorry for other things, I have no spare time to participate."

Director Sekimoto looked at him blankly.

500 million yen... wouldn't that mean a drop of 80% to 90%? How could this be possible... He didn't believe it!

At this moment, his driver knocked on the door and came in: "Sir Sekimoto, this is President Horikawa's phone number."

"...Hello? Horikawa-san, what's the matter?"

"Sekimoto-san, have you heard the news?"

"...What news?"

Nobuhiko Horikawa's voice on the phone was heavy: "Miyazawa-sama, who has just been confirmed to be elected, announced that he will step down as Minister of Finance with immediate effect and be replaced by Hashimoto-sama, who is familiar with the work of the Ministry of Finance."

"As expected..."

"No." Nobuhiko Horikawa paused, "When Hashimoto-sama answered the reporter's question about the Ogami case, he said that the first thing after taking office is to immediately investigate the status of the financial system. Sekimoto-san, you promised the director

How are our affairs going?"

"Isn't there still one day?"

"Okay, Mr. Sekimoto, please remember that there is still one last day. Please!"

Director Sekimoto hung up the phone with a pale face and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!"

…

The neon political situation is re-determined.

Miyazawa Kiji took over from Jun Kaifu, and the first thing Taro Hashimoto did when he returned as Minister of Finance was to initiate the revision of the "Neon Bank Law" and many other bills.

In any case, in response to the current economic situation and the pressure on the reform of the parliamentary electoral system, Miyazawa Kiji's courage has been demonstrated.

In addition, it is about the formal preparations for the Neon International Cooperation Bank.

Every move he makes stirs up waves in the dark. The financial market has been slow to improve, and his determination to make some big moves is clearly visible.

But the people of the era who are involved in the situation are still stuck in the impression of the past.

In the past, major factions had checks and balances on each other, and bureaucrats had a polite but inefficient way of operating. No matter what measures the cabinet took, it was basically not something that could be implemented within one term.

So some people are not in a hurry.

Within Daiichi Kanye Bank, even with the tough attitudes of Yukibei Ito and Nobuhiko Horikawa, there were still several directors who were ready to sneak through in the end.

Until Taro Hashimoto, who was re-appointed as Minister of Finance, suddenly sat back and watched as a large number of middle and low-level bureaucrats from the Ministry of Finance were taken away by the Tokyo Prefectural Prosecutor's Office.

At the same time, there are also several people who retired from the Ministry of Finance and went to work in major banks and financial institutions.

"Don't you understand?" Horikawa Nobuhiko's face was full of anger, "This time we are serious about it! To revise the law and eliminate the moths, Miyazawa-sama and Hashimoto-sama must first make complete preparations to create a situation where they are committed to innovation.

! Faced with the pressure of reforming the electoral system of the House of Representatives, now is the time for the major factions to unite at their strongest speed! The storm is already on the way!"

"...But the time is too short. With the current situation, how is it possible..." Director Sekimoto said angrily.

Ito Chu Yukibei said with a dark face: "Now is not the time to muddle through. So many bureaucrats and former subordinate officials of the Ministry of Finance have been taken away for investigation, and the countdown has begun! Even if you think we are taking this opportunity to plot your shares

That’s fine, I can’t wait any longer! Whether to face the bank’s lawsuit or sell the shares to get enough money, let’s make a decision right here today!”

As soon as these words came out, several people suddenly changed their expressions.

Is this a picture?

"Ito Chu Yukibei! This has been planned for a long time, right? It's you who has to pay for it, or Tao Dalang!"

"Sell the shares, or take legal responsibility for the remaining bad debts, make your choice!" Ito Chu Yukibei said with a calm face.

"Asshole! Do you want to die together?" Director Sekimoto shouted, "After all, even the cooperation with Tao Dalang was introduced by you! Apart from him, do you think no one else is interested in the shares of Daiichi Quanye Bank?"

"

Conflict completely broke out in the conference room.

Nobuhiko Horikawa sat there and watched them arguing happily.

The task has been basically completed.

Regardless of whether the others finally gave in today or really started to fight with each other completely, the time has been delayed to this moment.

From the moment Miyazawa Kiji and Hashimoto Taro officially appeared on stage together, things became irreversible.

From now on, apart from Tao Zhiming and others who had been prepared for a long time, there would be no other party that could intervene in the mess of the First Quanye Consortium.

Every company is in trouble, and the immediate overhaul of the financial system will also make other forces outside the consortium miserable.

Just when they were noisy, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"My lords! Something bad has happened!"

Seeing the ugly expression on the head of the business strategy department, Nobuhiko Horikawa frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Supreme Court..." the director of the Operational Countermeasures Department said with a trembling voice, "Sir Tanaka... gave up and admitted the accusation about the 500 million yen, but... he did not accuse the United States of the 3 billion yen.

A question was raised regarding the number of bribes taken. That is, the remaining 2.5 billion yen. Was it all spent by the middleman Shifu Kodama? Why did the prosecutors only focus on Tanaka-sama’s 500 million yen..."

There was silence in the conference room.

He started appealing 18 years ago, all the way to the Supreme Court, and he gave up just like that?

However, using his own guilty plea as a flash point, he pointed out as a problem the final whereabouts of the other 2.5 billion yen of the total bribery amount of 3 billion yen accused by the United States. Is this not a new accusation: Are the prosecutors really fair?

?

With his influence, the prosecutors may now have to face a difficult question: Do they really want to investigate the 2.5 billion yen?

Check it out early!

Many people in the conference room whose expressions suddenly changed again were aware of this problem.

That 2.5 billion yen really involves too many people.

The amount is really not large, but this case has attracted too much attention.

And now, it is an extremely sensitive time.

The Headquarters case, the Ogami case, the Fukumoto Ou case, the follow-up to Gekko Manor...

Many events are superimposed, and if the context can be clearly drawn from the development of history, it will be all over.

Nobuhiko Horikawa took a deep breath: "Do you understand? This may be Master Tanaka's final act against Takegami-san for 'betraying' him! He has publicly stated that he does not recognize Takegami-san as Tanaka

Candidates sent to the cabinet. Now Zhu

Mr. Hashimoto, who is supported by Ue-san, once again serves as the Minister of Finance, and is only one step away from the position of president! Faced with this new trouble created by Mr. Tanaka, Miyazawa-san, Takegami-san, and Hashimoto-san will definitely unite with all their strength to control this

The impact of this incident!”

His eyes swept across the crowd: "Do you really want to be one of those people who comes out to take the blame?"

The words were loud and clear, and many people in the conference room turned pale.

Tokyo Gate of Heaven.

In the Financial Security Research Center of the Ministry of Finance, Kazuki Hansawa moved his eyes away from the TV screen and looked at Taro Hashimoto.

This is the first meeting he has chaired here since he resumed his duties as Minister of Tibet.

Yamamoto Norito let out a long sigh and murmured, "It's so messed up..."

Hashimoto Taro's expression did not change.

Tao Zhiming sighed: "This is really exciting. Kodama Shifu has been dead for more than 7 years, how difficult is the investigation? The biggest trouble is, since Mr. Tanaka has spoken like this, what will he say next?

What’s the content?”

Banze felt numb.

Before, he only felt that risks in the financial system had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Only now did he realize how complicated the problem was.
To be continued...
