Kitahara Sosuke looked back and saw that the man who made this hearty and heroic voice was nearly fifty years old and was wearing a navy blue suit. The beautiful girl holding him was also stunned and did not react for a moment.
82.5 million meters of gold!
1990.
Nearly 12.4 billion yen, almost half of Kithara Sosuke’s first pot of gold, bought a painting by the Chino family!
"Haha, you are indeed the king of the paper industry, Saito-san. It is hard to match." The man walking up with a smile was a man whom Kitahara Sosuke knew, Naganozawa Masaru, the president of Yamaichi Securities.
Paper industry king Saito Ryouhide!
The name Kitahara Sosuke has been ringing in my ears for a long time.
Born in Shizuoka, he is unruly and known as the "Tokai Thug". He is the president of Japan's largest paper company, Daishowa Paper.
This tycoon was also an early beneficiary and late loser in Japan's bubble economy era. With the bursting of the bubble, Daishowa Paper's business shrank crazily. Saito Ryoui invested heavily in the stock market and real estate market, losing money one after another. In addition, his personal extreme
He loves to collect all kinds of art. Since 1991, Dashowa Paper has faced bankruptcy crises several times.
However, the Saito family is the most typical cross-border wealthy family in Japan's business and political circles. Together with Yasuhiro Nakasone (the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd Prime Minister), Takeo Fukuda (the 67th Prime Minister), Shoichiro Toyoda (the founder of Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota
Kiichiro's eldest son, currently the president of Toyota Motor Corporation, is related by marriage.
In the end, with the help of many wealthy families, Daishowa Paper was renamed Nippon Paper and survived as a semi-state-owned enterprise.
The Saito family is one of the top three wealthy families in Shizuoka Prefecture and one of the top wealthy families in Japan today.
"Isn't this President Nagano? Long time no see." Saito Ryoei smiled and shook hands with Nagano Sawamasa. The two have known each other for many years. Saito Ryoei also purchased a lot of securities at Yamaichi Securities. They are both
Friends and business partners.
"Hey, Sosuke is here too? Come on, Saito-san, let me introduce you, this is Sosuke Kitahara of the Kitahara family." Nagano Sawa was grateful to Kitahara Sosuke for not snatching his son's marriage. Now Nagano Nobu has
Chenggong and Uchida Shizuko came to the point of discussing marriage. Now that he had the opportunity, he introduced Saito Rieying to him through a personal relationship, "The deputy branch manager of the Osaka Chuo District branch of Tosan. He is only twenty-five years old. He is really a formidable young man.
.”
"Oh, not bad." Saito Ryohide's identity is much higher than Kitahara Masao. How does he know about the Kitahara family? However, being able to become the deputy branch president at such a young age really makes him look at him with suspicion, but that's all.
.
In Dongsan, you have to be at least executive level or above to be qualified to chat and laugh with him.
Seeing Saito Ryei's lack of interest, Nagano Sawamasa quickly added: "Saito-san, Sosuke has another identity, but it is closely related to you."
"Oh, what's your identity?" Saito Ryoei looked at the tall and handsome young man. He had no business relationship with Tosan, and several big bosses who were related by marriage also had a general relationship with the Mitsubishi Consortium.
"Miss Chino's fiancé, Chino Rin!" Nagano Sawamasa laughed and lowered his voice, "Saito-san, you know that Miss Chino is not young anymore, and she has been looking for a son-in-law and adopted son in the circle since two years ago.
, but she has been choosing for two years, hehe, I heard that she didn’t even look at the photos of the blind date. She only looked at Sosuke’s photo personally and chose it!”
"What? That girl Chino chose him?" Saito Ryoi's eyes changed when he looked at Kitahara Sosuke.
The Chino family is truly the only wealthy family in Kyoto.
I heard that they have even monopolized most of the seats in the Kyoto Diet. The family business is spread all over Kyoto, and the current head of the Chino family is the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the leader in the military industry, building almost half of all submarines and one-third of all destroyers!
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Kyoto belongs to the Chino family! They do not even obey the arrangements of the Congress and the government...
Kitahara Sosuke made various inquiries and after looking around, he realized how rich and terrifying his wife was!
It's just that it's a bit annoying to have him as a son-in-law and adopted son.
As a man, how could he let a woman move on top?
But it’s not impossible in bed...
Saito Ryouhide occupies more than 50% of the Japanese paper business, and the only market he cannot enter is Kyoto Prefecture, one of the six major cities.
A few years ago, he unbelievingly opened a paper mill in Nakakyo District, Kyoto City. Then overnight, a thick wall of 20 meters high was built outside his paper mill!
After struggling for a month, various government agencies in Kyoto came to find trouble dozens of times, and fined me a total of 180 million yen. In the end, I couldn't even recruit workers, so I had to withdraw from the Kyoto market sadly.
Because of this incident, even the rebellious Saito Ryohide was convinced of the Chino family. This time, when the Chino family's paintings were sold, he naturally had to buy them for future worship on the mountain.
What the Chino family's painting can give him is a certain share of the Kyoto paper market, which will no longer block his paper mill business.
Maybe the 12.4 billion yen he paid will not be able to earn back through business in Kyoto for more than ten years, but being able to enter the Kyoto market itself represents a very high honor in the industry!
All other paper companies cannot open factories in Kyoto, only he can!
This alone is enough to satisfy Saito Ryei's vanity.
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Sosuke. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice!" Saito Ryohei immediately changed his face. He was worthy of being a veteran of the shopping mall for a long time. He had a nice smile and no trace of his arrogance just now.
gas.
Kithara Sosuke responded with a smile.
No. 7 on the side was frightened, thinking that this young man was some kind of rich man. Did it turn out that his biggest trump card was his fiancée?
With such a terrible family background, if his fiancée hates having other women around him...
No. 7's subconscious actions were more disciplined. She didn't want to go diving in Tokyo Bay or climb Mount Fuji without understanding.
"I seem to have heard about the Chino family?" A middle-aged man with a smile and a worrying hairline walked towards him, "Nagano-san, Saito-san, you are here too."
"It's such a pity that even the girls from the Chino family look down on my boy." Walking with the man with a worrying hairline was a middle-aged Mediterranean uncle.
"Kitamo-san, Marumoto-san, why are you here too?" Nagano Sawa greeted the two of them with a smile, then turned to Kitahara Sosuke and introduced, "Come on, Sosuke, these two are also here.
You are the big shot who made your fiancée lose his virginity in Kyoto. This is Shigekazu Kita, the president of Hanwa Kogyo, and this is Akira Marumoto, the president of Mazda Corporation."
"Uncle Kitashiro, uncle Marumoto." Kitahara Sosuke's heart trembled. Well, including Saito and Hide here, three of the four biggest enemies during the bubble period have already arrived.
Daishowa Paper Co., Ltd. Saito Ryouhide, Mazda Marumoto Akira, Hanwa Kogyo Kita Shigewa, and real estate tycoon Tsutsumi Yoshiaki. These four people are the super rich who rose rapidly during the bubble economy. They are also well-known as their assets shrank severely after the bubble burst.
Four entrepreneurs.
Needless to say, Saito Ryouhide's generosity; Mazda was originally one of Japan's top five car manufacturers. After the bubble economy burst, in 1995, its annual losses reached as high as 300 billion yen and it was on the verge of bankruptcy; Hanwa Kogyo was on the verge of bankruptcy during its heyday.
Investment, with daily net profits of several billion yen, is known as Japan's No. 1 investment club; Yoshiaki Tsutsumi even owns one-sixth of Japan's real estate and was the world's richest man in 1990.
Kitahara Sosuke chatted with the big guys for a while, as well as Yamaichi Securities, who was also a poor guy later. He didn't mind leaving the contact information of these big guys and "helping" them during the Great Depression.
No wonder they died so quickly. These people were so greedy. After learning about the benefits of the Gulf War, they tried their best to enter the profit circle. They came here just to buy the paintings of the top bosses, donate money, and win a piece of it.
Admission ticket.
In addition, the organizer of this art exhibition, Sonoko Kitada, also collected donations on behalf of her father, and Sumitomo Bank would then provide these big guys with huge loans, allowing them to use the money to enter the Gulf War!
Kithara Sosuke took a deep breath, these people are really gambling like crazy.
But come to think of it, Japan seems to be doing well now. The upper-class bosses have abundant funds. Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a good opportunity to make money?
Iraq, the third most powerful country in terms of military strength and powerful land forces, will not be easily wiped out by the Americans, right?
The longer it is delayed, the greater the fortune will be.
Maybe if the operation is done right, it may become the seventh or eighth consortium in Japan!
Kitahara Sosuke didn't have much interest in chatting with these old men, so he found an excuse to leave, and happened to bump into Hamaka Taro who was looking for him all over the villa.
"I finally found you, Sosuke, let's go with me to see Miss Ji Tian, we are all waiting for you." Taro Hamaka put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the second floor.
He promised Kithara Sosuke to introduce him to Moonlight Manor, and he spent a lot of money to get in touch with Jitian Yuanzi.
Number 7 on the side could not go upstairs, so he could only let go of Kitahara Sosuke's hand, unwilling and afraid.
In a place like this, you may be living a lifetime of glory and wealth, or you may be in a bottomless abyss.
