All kinds of baseless rumors spread from the city center where the Bank of Hyogo's head office is located, all the way to the north along the Nankai Electric Railway. There were customers queuing up in front of the ATM machines waiting to withdraw money, and the business hall was full of people, with long queues.
It had to be extended outside the street.
In Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, a barrage of emergency calls bombarded the Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance in Kyoto City. "If the situation is allowed to develop like this, Hyogo Bank will be completely bankrupt and there will be no room for recovery."
In the Kyoto branch of the Bank of Hyogo, bank employees shouted such words as "cash support is very much needed", "ask customers outside to stop queuing", and "refunds must be processed no matter what time", contradictions and
The conflict is about to escalate.
When Kitahara Sosuke walked to the street, he could already hear someone calling friends and relatives while waiting to complain: "It would be nice if I came here earlier to withdraw money, Hyogo has no money to give us."
Let Hyogo Bank hold on!
This is the only directive issued by the Ministry of Finance.
At this time, Yoshiro Mori, the Tibetan Prime Minister, looked haggard and was sitting in front of Miyazawa Kiichi without saying a word.
Standing next to Miyazawa Kiichi was the equally serious-looking Mie Noyasu. This Bank of Japan president who burst the bubble economy with one hand and blamed Ryutaro Hashimoto had a sad look on his face. He couldn't figure out a solution to Hyogo for a while.
A good recipe for a banking crisis.
In fact, there is a way, and it is the only one.
That would be to use public funds to save Hyogo Bank.
Public funds are also used to provide emergencies to banking institutions.
These banks more or less have the shadow of the core families of the consortium. They control and make profits. They will never allow the banking industry to collapse. Other industries can collapse, and even the financial industry can collapse, but only banks cannot have problems.
This is the most basic structure of this country!
Non-bank financial institutions can go bankrupt and reorganize, and they can lose their credibility. Just like Securities, which is as big as a mountain, it can just say no to it. At most, it will make more people take the blame, and let the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan swallow the bitter fruit of this capital loss.
Only banks cannot have problems.
If there are any irreparable problems in the bank, it means that there is a problem with the system, the prime minister's cabinet, and even the Congress!
The political world will be turned upside down!
However, the most emergency public funds were used by Miyazawa Kiichi and others to save a bunch of clubs that eventually went bankrupt.
The two companies that are currently experiencing problems, the former represents the three pillar industries on which they place their last hope, and the latter represents the banking system.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please ask the consortium for help!" Yoshiro Mori held it in for a long time and couldn't help but said, "Only by bowing to them can we continue to survive!"
"With such a big funding gap...do you think they would be willing to help?" Miyazawa Kiichi sighed, but still dialed Chino's phone number.
The air was very silent, and for the first time, the elderly Prime Minister humbly begged one by one.
Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Mitsui, Sanwa, Fuji, and Kanin, these six conglomerates control the economic lifeline of this country. Although they are no longer as strong and compact as they were in the past, they are still the top existence in this country.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what's going on?" Mie Noyasu asked in a low voice. As the president of the Bank of Japan, once the banking industry collapses, he will be the first unlucky person.
"They agreed to invest 50 trillion yen to fill the gap between the 'Residency College' and Hyogo." Miyazawa Kiichi's expression was not very good.
However, Yoshiro Mori and Mie Yeyasu were secretly relieved. With the six major consortiums taking action, the problem should not be serious.
"But their requirement is that in the next House of Representatives election, the people they support must occupy more than 80% of the total seats!" Miyazawa Kiichi said, but he was helpless.
The only place where the government can compete with the six major financial groups is the National Assembly. The Senate is controlled by various nobles. Although it is difficult to shake, its power status is average. The House of Representatives is the core judicial legislative body in Japan. Whichever force has the most seats will have the most say.
right!
This right to speak will be reflected in all aspects of resources. The amount is equivalent to the wealth of a country. Everyone is jealous and everyone wants it, but it is extremely loose. There are already six major consortiums based on families, and it is difficult to take up too many seats.
At least the consortium will not be allowed to speak out.
But now, if he agrees to this request, the consortium will be the only force dominating politics for many years to come.
Miyazawa Kiichi knew better than anyone else what kind of existence stood behind these six tigers. If this happened, the country would be doomed.
But what can be done?
He was heartbroken and agreed anyway.
As one of the participants, the Chino family, Chino Ryu, who was sitting quietly in the study, knew that this was the last chance for their family. The two sons were forced to leave the political arena. This time, they funded the Prime Minister's Cabinet and the two sons would return to the National Assembly again.
, hope is ahead.
...
The news of the joint attack by the six major financial groups reached the ears of Kitahara Sosuke from Nissho Iwai.
Hiroshi Uchida was quite embarrassed when he said this news. He was already a major supporter of the new party. There were different opinions within Miwa, but at least he could speak out for Nissho Iwai, who he controlled.
However, the pie given by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet is too big.
As long as this problem is solved and this hurdle is passed, Miyazawa's cabinet can continue to stand strong. He will dissolve the House of Representatives again. After re-election, Nissho Iwai will have several seats, which was simply unimaginable before.
For this, he could only say sorry to Kitahara Sosuke.
No permanent friends, only permanent interests.
The most puzzling person is Hashimoto Shota, whose wedding three days later has been put on hold again!
The Hashimoto family is a proper new party, but it seems that the new party is about to give up all its previous efforts, so its value is suddenly not high again.
This young couple was also extremely depressed.
Miyazawa Kiichi's desperate move and the six major financial groups' bets were undoubtedly the most fatal blow.
Hosokawa Morihi panicked.
When he called Kitahara Sosuke, Kitahara Sosuke was chatting with Hashimoto Shota.
"Aosuke, that's 50 trillion yen, they are too cruel! We didn't lose, it's just that they were too shameless, causing..."
"We did not lose, Shota. In three days, I will attend your wedding on time." Kitahara Sosuke, who was sitting in the Rolls-Royce Silverthorn, said with a smile.
"Ah? What are you talking about in your sleep? With a strong supplement of 50 trillion yen, Hyogo and 'Zumibo' will come back to life. If you can't bring down the Miyazawa cabinet, then your special support plan will not be implemented, and you will lose.
ah."
"Resurrection from the dead? So what? From the very beginning, the problem they had to face was not 'Sumikan' and Hyogo."
"Huh? What is that?"
"Shouta, it's the banking industry. It's the banking industry that's losing!"
Kitahara Sosuke looked at the street in front of the car windshield with great interest. The Financial Street, where branches of one bank after another were clustered together, was particularly lively.
It was full of people coming to withdraw money.
That's right, they didn't just withdraw money in front of Hyogo Bank, but every bank was filled with dense crowds!
