Chapter 32: Fight to the death or deceive yourself and others
Kitahara Sosuke returned to the apartment building and opened the envelope given to him by Chino Rin.
Like many girls, she did not keep pouring out her heartfelt feelings and expressing her longing and love in the letter. She just included a picture of the snowy scenery of Mount Zuiryu in Kyoto. She was wearing a beautiful kimono alone in the snow and looking at the simple and simple scenery ahead.
A beautiful temple complex, lonely but uniquely beautiful.
Behind the photo, she wrote a sentence in delicate handwriting——
Let’s go to the temple to worship and watch the snow together in the New Year.——Rin.
Kithara Sosuke held the photo, feeling lost. He was lost in thought for a while before silently holding the photo tightly. He looked for it and saw the iron box filled with various small cards next to the bed. He hesitated and did not put Qianye
Instead of putting Rin's photo in, he picked up a small dark gold box locked with a delicate lock, opened it, and then slowly put the photo in.
There are also several pieces of white paper filled with writing in the envelope.
This is the message Chino Rin wants to reveal to him.
After reading the contents on those white papers, Kitahara Sosuke suddenly recalled what the old and strong Qian Yelong said in the study room of Xueyuezhuang after he vowed not to admit defeat.
He said that the chess game between them was not over yet, and the content of the bet was not an economic issue.
So this is ah!
In fact, the current situation is very clear. The bankruptcy of Kyoto's four leading cooperatives and the collapse of agricultural cooperatives indicate that Kyoto's economy will head towards an inevitable decline.
Masato Chino and Hiroshi Chino, who stepped down from their positions as mayor of Kyoto City and governor of Kyoto Prefecture early, may have taken advantage of it and did not have to bear the performance problems caused by this final snowstorm.
Kyoto is a microcosm of Japan. It is impossible for Chino Ryu, who has been in a high position for a long time, not to see this. He said that the Chino family has always been the same, but the tail is actually too big to lose. The chaos within the Chino family may be beyond his imagination.
After they choose to bind themselves to the Miyazawa family, they must be concerned about those family members who decide to follow the Miyazawa family to their death. They do not have the courage or ability to change this. This is the core problem that the big family cannot solve.
On this point, I believe that the three leading figures of the Chino family have a clear understanding of this.
The information that Chino Rin provided to Kithara Sosuke is the most core, most confidential, and most relevant to him——
What methods and means will the Chino family use to try their best to prevent his Kitahara investment from entering Kyoto?
Aside from the major environmental problems faced by the Chino family, their biggest headache is the bet they made with Kitahara Sosuke.
If Kitahara Sosuke develops tourism and high-tech industries within half a year, they will give up half of the Chino family to him!
Although he repeatedly emphasized that he did not really covet the Qianye family's property and did not bother to rob anything, Qianye Long and the others were still inevitably worried about this matter.
He even secretly made a plan to stop Beihara’s investment from taking root in Kyoto!
Without the information Chino Rin secretly provided to him, it might have been really difficult for Kitahara Investment to quickly take root in Kyoto and spread its branches.
In order to invest in Kitahara, even Kitahara Shenlang and Kitahara Logistics, which already have branches in Kyoto, have been planned.
Is Qian Yelong, this old fox, planning to kill everyone?
Kithara Sosuke sneered. He admitted that Rin's grandfather was a tycoon of his generation. He brought the Chino family from humble beginnings to this stage. He was an undeniable business wizard and conglomerate giant.
But so what?
After all, his vision can only stay in the past era, which is completely incomparable with his own.
Chasing, blocking, risking one's life, using these things in exchange for breathing time, and hoping that the Prime Minister and Cabinet can solve the current environmental problems, seems to be the only way out that is most likely to make a comeback, but in fact, it is just a desperate struggle!
"The great era is coming, and no one can stop it. To stop the wheel of history is to try to use the mantis's arm as a chariot."
Kitahara Sosuke lit the material he had read with a lighter and watched it slowly burn to ashes without saying a word.
The snowy scene outside the window is magnificent and fascinating, just like the bustling Kyoto, but how many bodies will be buried under these beautiful snowflakes?
...
December 24, 1990, Christmas Eve.
The festival from the West is a special gathering time that Japanese young men and women love very much.
Like some big cities in China a few decades later, imported goods include not only various items, foods and habits, but also some customs, festivals, and language and culture.
With the development of the times and the rise of the economy, people began to pursue more unique and trendy things. Things represented by traditional culture were regarded as old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and were abandoned by young men and women. New foreign things became their pursuit.
of wonderful things.
The post-2000 Korean Wave and Western festival styles are now taking place on the streets of Kyoto.
The custom of eating apples on Christmas Eve is becoming more and more popular, and the entertainment venues that had been sluggish due to the economic downturn have become warmer again. Men and women in various fancy clothes gather here, some of them only wear red short skirts, bare thighs, and a hat on their head.
The girl in the little felt hat is handing out leaflets.
On Christmas Day tomorrow, there will be more scenes like this. Kitahara Sosuke was walking among the crowd and looked up at the Tokyo Industrial Bank Kyoto Branch Building, which is like a landmark building. He also looked at the end of the street where the crowds of people were getting denser. It looked like a prosperous scene in Tokyo.
Looking at the beautiful Beihara Shenlang Credit Bank Building, he smiled softly and walked into the branch.
"Good morning~President Kitahara~" The tellers downstairs bowed in greeting, with sweet smiles on their faces, sweeping away their previous gloomy state.
The Kyoto Branch lost 5.5 trillion yen due to the mistakes of President Tataro and Financing Director Takashi Sato. This money was able to be renewed thanks to the funding from the Kitara Shenlang Credit Bank. Otherwise, if rumors spread and a run occurred, their reserves would be
It may not be enough for people to withdraw money.
Now the financial industry is like a rickety boat in a snowstorm. Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. Who has time to save other banks?
Kithara Sosuke also used this to make the staff of the Kyoto branch realize that Kithara Shenlang is a financial institution that is completely different from what they imagined. High-tech equipment is spread throughout the organization, and the employees are running business like chicken blood.
Deposits and loans are made all the time.
In just one month, Kitara Shenlang's business covered Kyoto City. In this extremely poor economic environment, it flourished everywhere and became a unique and terrifying existence.
When they are curious, they will explore the reasons and find more "financial" advantages, as well as a series of benefits and benefits of being employees of Beihara Shenlang. These advantages will become even more unique during the Great Depression.
.
At that time, it will not be difficult for Kitahara Sosuke to guide some outstanding people to Kitahara Divine Wolf.
