"President Yamauchi, you don't need to know how I knew about the Super Nintendo plan. I just want you to give me a definite answer now, whether you are willing to suspend this project and focus on other types of electronic products. Kitara Shenlang Credit Bank can
Providing over $2 billion in loans to Nintendo."
Kitahara Sosuke looked at Hiroshi Yamauchi with a smile.
Hiroshi Yamauchi felt extremely tormented. He really wanted to agree to the 2 billion financing!
Even at its peak, Fuji Bank only gave Nintendo a loan of less than 500 million.
Indeed, compared to those real estate companies, gaming and entertainment clubs like theirs are really not good enough. They are too small and the profits they can bring are extremely limited, so they cannot impress those banks at all.
"What do you think, President Yamauchi, let's think about it." Kitahara Sosuke smiled even brighter.
Marika Ito was stunned. She still remembered that Sosuke Kitahara once said emphatically that he wanted to take down Nintendo when they were in the car. But looking at his current operation, it was clear that he wanted to push Hiroshi Yamauchi into a desperate situation.
Hiroshi Yamauchi hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head silently and bowed ninety degrees to him: "I'm extremely sorry, President Kitahara! I can't accept your proposal! The Super Nintendo project is our core project, and we will never do it.
Suspend it! If you want to give us a loan at this cost, then I will have to turn to other banks.”
"Really? Then don't stop the Super Nintendo project! Take it seriously and complete it completely! Use your actual actions and performance to refute people like me who look down on this project just now!"
Kitahara Sosuke suddenly changed the topic and suddenly helped Hiroshi Yamauchi, who was still bowing, up.
"I am very optimistic about the Super Nintendo project, and I am willing to invest in it in the name of Beihara Investment. This part of the funds will be additionally independent from bank loans. One part is a loan and part is an investment. What do you think?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Marika Ito and Hiroshi Yamauchi were stunned at the same time, confused by Kitahara Sosuke's operation.
"You...President Kitahara, are you telling the truth?" Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't react for a while, and he asked several times before confirming.
Because Kitahara Sosuke even took out the prepared documents.
"This is the cooperation plan I have drawn up, President Yamauchi, please review it. As long as you are willing to authorize the Super Nintendo project to Kithara Entertainment for development and sales, and share 30% of the profits with Kithara Investment, Kithara Shenlang can provide 2 billion low
Interested loans will be provided to Nintendo, and Kithara Investment will inject a total of 5 billion yen into Nintendo Holdings in three phases to help your company go public this year."
"Are you going to let us go public this year?" Hiroshi Yamauchi's eyes widened and he looked at Kitahara Sosuke in disbelief.
He dreams of being listed on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges. Due to the previous stock market crash, Nintendo failed to successfully list. Now that he is encountering this kind of environment, he is even more afraid to do it easily. If there is a delisting crisis, it will be a hundred years.
The family club he ran collapsed, and he could no longer explain to the Yamauchi family.
But going public is his biggest wish. If Nintendo can flourish in his hands, it will be more meaningful to him than making more money!
Therefore, Kithara Sosuke's words completely touched the softest place in his heart.
From the ground to the sky, the feeling was like riding a roller coaster. Hiroshi Yamauchi's expression kept changing and his breathing became rapid.
In 1990, household appliances were still limited to televisions, refrigerators and other appliances. No one believed that computers and home console games would become popular. This marginal industry was completely ignored by investors.
Being recognized by the vice president of a branch of a large bank made Hiroshi Yamauchi full of confidence. Although he had cooperated with Fuji Bank before, the other party looked down on them at all, and the unequal cooperation was full of discomfort.
He felt that Kitahara Sosuke was the collaborator he had been looking for!
"That's right, Nintendo will definitely go on the market by the end of December, or by January or February next year at the latest!" Sosuke Kitahara said categorically, and even without Kitahara's investment, they can take off later. He just accelerated the progress.
But in the eyes of Hiroshi Yamauchi, his behavior was just giving timely help.
"Okay, I agree! As long as the Super Nintendo can be successfully launched and developed, I am willing to let Kitahara invest a large amount of shares!" Hiroshi Yamauchi is not obsessed with corporate ownership. The key is to carry forward the enterprise.
As for whose hands it is in the hands of, the one with the ability can take it.
If it can take off with the help of Beiyuan Investment, what if it is controlled?
The deal was settled just like that.
As soon as he left the Nintendo building, Kithara Sosuke called Kitano Ran and told her to immediately allocate funds to Nintendo. He also repeatedly asked her to make a good Super Nintendo, which would be Kithara Entertainment's first important project after its establishment.
He asked about the situation of Studio Ghibli by the way. The new animated film "The Fairy Tale of Time" has been shot according to his concept. The background is set in Kyoto, with the core of showing the style of Kyoto, but some new things have been injected into it.
Elements.
For example, the male and female protagonists could not endure the economic depression and returned to their hometown to live a relaxed life. They began to choose new industries in order to start a business. In the end, the male protagonist decided to engage in the high-tech electronics industry, while the female protagonist engaged in the new service industry.
Hayao Miyazaki used beautiful pictures to show the beauty of the city where electronics and classical music blend, and designed the bustling Kyoto scene after the development of tourism according to Kithara Sosuke's wishes.
This is the core point of this animated film. In order to pave the way for Kitahara Sosuke's plan, Studio Ghibli relies on its strong animation production capabilities and influence to put pressure on some people in Kyoto, and at the same time, it also makes Kyoto natives
Feel the benefits that these two new industries may bring.
Back in the car, Marika Ito, who was dumbfounded by Kitahara Sosuke's lecture, hurriedly took notes and patiently kept all this in his mind.
She is not as smart as Fujiwara Norika, but she is better at being well-behaved and sensible, asking questions when she doesn't understand, not talking nonsense, and willing to learn everything.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the way back, Kitahara Sosuke stopped by to see Ito Marika's residence. Sure enough, in order to save money, she rented in a remote low-cost community with good security environment.
Also very poor.
After the financial crisis swept across Kyoto, many communities were not peaceful. Various domestic violence, bad incidents, and even suicides often occurred. There were also many yakuza running around.
It is very easy for a young and beautiful woman living alone to get into trouble. This is not a new era with various surveillance facilities!
Kitahara Sosuke decisively asked her to rent in Shimokyo District like him, which was closer to the bank.
"President Kitahara...I, I will definitely pay your money back in the future!" Marika Ito, who had been pampered since childhood, didn't want to live in that kind of ghost place, so he didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll pay you back when you make money." Kitahara Sosuke waved his hand, "Before that, you first learn how to drive."
"SeaWing!"
Marihua Ito nodded heavily, and then asked in a low voice,
"President Kitahara, isn't our primary goal now to develop new service industries and high-tech industries?"
This was also Ito Marihua's doubts when they came.
At this time, Kitahara Sosuke happened to have time, so he gave her a simple answer: "Yes, our core goals are naturally still these two, but Rika-chan, you see, to promote these two emerging industries, we Kitahara alone must
Investment is completely out of the question and requires strong support from Dongsan. But now, what President Tao Taro has assigned me is the management of the operating line and a few of the most remote branches. It is impossible for us to promote it just by relying on these.
this project."
"Yes, and Director Sato of the Financing Department who is in charge of the financing business line, he told you..." Ito Marika did not dare to say it.
"Takashi Sato, right? I know that he is one of the core members of the Club Faction. He was originally assigned to the financing department of the Kyoto Branch for gold plating. If I were not there, he would be the vice president. After this year, there is probably hope
Become an executive director." Kitahara Sosuke smiled, now...
Just because Kitahara Sosuke squeezed out his position, Sato Takashi held a grudge and kept stumbling on him in business, making him uncomfortable. The financing department basically did not cooperate with Kitahara Sosuke's work, so it was even more difficult to promote new projects.
Power struggles are common in the banking workplace. Even if he is Dongsan's new financial idol and his personal interests are involved, these old fools will still go their own way. They will not openly resist you, but secretly disgust you and hold you back.
But Kitahara Sosuke vaguely felt that the matter was not that simple. If they just wanted power and had a bad temper, Taotaro and Sato Takashi did not need to be so cruel. They were simply cutting off his escape route and forcing him to drive him out of Kyoto.
If the business is done, they will also benefit.
"What they did went too far! Is there any pusher behind it..." Marika Ito, who comes from a wealthy family, is very sensitive to such things, she asked in a low voice.
Kithara Sosuke narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Who knows, maybe there is a bigger fish behind."
"But it doesn't matter. It's a month at most. I believe the prime minister's cabinet can't last too long. Haha, the bubble economy bursts..." Kitahara Sosuke smiled faintly, "They can do whatever they want now.
Well, our approach is still the same."
He must now rely on Kitahara Entertainment's "Fairytale of Time" to pave the way for the Kyoto market, and then let the crisis sweep through, and then come to the rescue.
At that time, Kyoto's completely collapsed economy was like a little girl who was at the mercy of others. Couldn't it be harvested at will?
The bursting of the bubble economy has always been a gradual process, which will continue to slowly corrode everything in this country. The most interesting thing is that even though it is clear that nothing can be done, these people will still work hard to remedy it.
In the end, the success fell short. In the end, the finances flooded like water from a bursting embankment, and there was no possibility of salvation!
The foresighted Kitahara Sosuke would naturally not fail.
All he has to do is watch with cold eyes and then take action!
...
December 10, 1990.
The Prime Minister's Cabinet announced that the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance will formally intervene in national economic issues. They require banks to tighten various loans and review bad debts. At the same time, they will strictly review investments related to the Juliana Tokyo nightclub project, allowing Sanwa Bank to make up a huge amount of money.
Loss accounts.
No one can figure out how much money Juliana Tokyo Nightclub lost.
Because a large part of the financing amount was also used for the Gulf War, but in fact, the Gulf War was all investment failures. In addition, Juliana Tokyo delisted, and a large number of shareholders suffered heavy losses.
The economic losses directly caused by this unfinished project may exceed 1 trillion, and the implications are very wide. Many people have been trapped in it for their entire life's hard-earned money.
As the organizer, Nissho Iwai was under tremendous pressure, but Hiroshi Uchida did have a strong enough relationship that he was not forced to apologize and resign under such circumstances, and still served as the president of Nissho Iwai.
Unfortunately, after this battle, the seriously injured Nissho Iwai no longer had the possibility to become a comprehensive super trading company. The Sanwa Bank that supported him behind the scenes was also very miserable. It also made one of the biggest jokes in the financial world——
He helped Kitahara Sosuke convert 160 billion into rice gold, successfully slapped himself in the face, and pushed Kitahara Sosuke to the highest altar.
Congress ordered Nissho Iwai and Sanwa Bank to take responsibility for this unfinished project. They had no choice but to finally have Sanwa Consortium step in to fill the vacancy.
However, just when Miyazawa Kiichi thought he had solved a big problem, a new financial problem appeared.
A financial scandal broke out from a Tokyo branch of Sumitomo Bank. The branch president was arrested for introducing clients to a stock manipulation gang and was suspected of violating the Investment Law!
The first president of Saitama Kyowa Bank announced his resignation after he introduced clients to the same stock manipulation gang and helped them illegally raise funds.
After that, Nomura Securities was exposed. Their use of a financial product called "Specified Money Trust" to cover the losses caused by the loss of major customers was exposed by the media controlled by Kitahara Investment, leading to the resignation of the powerful chairman.
, the president bowed and apologized.
Society's distrust of banks and securities is growing day by day, gradually reaching its peak.
Dongsan is also not peaceful.
After repeated reviews by internal investigators, it was discovered that the three largest branches - Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka - all had financial scandals of varying degrees, including forging deposit certificates, internal misappropriation of deposits, and approval of non-performing loans.
.
The atmosphere in the workplace has also become extremely bad.
At the request of the board of directors, the three major branches each conducted internal self-reviews, and the board of directors subsequently increased their business requirements.
Tosan Kyoto Branch, large conference room.
Tao Tailang looked excited and shouted to the staff below: "Everyone, please! This time, you must complete all the business requirements assigned by the head office! Otherwise, our branch will face a new wave of review! We will increase your promotions
Salaries will have a significant impact!”
The words he spoke were fierce, and the people below heard them were also excited.
The general environment suddenly turned bad, and the head office began to demand increased performance. They must work together to solve this bad situation.
Kitahara Sosuke sat in the first position on the right, listening to these old-fashioned conversations, laughing and saying nothing.
