At 9 pm on April 31, 1991, Nichiyin Hikawa Ryo, Tokyo.
After a simple dinner, the important meeting on the "Tokyo Mutual Bank" project started again.
People participating in this meeting are:
Ryutaro Hashimoto, Minister of Finance and Chief of the Financial Services Agency
Bank of Japan President Mie Noyasu
Yoshimasa Nishimura, Director of the Banking Bureau
Bank of Japan Governor Kunio Kojima
Sumitomo Bank President Ichiro Katita
Hiroyuki Nonaka, President of Japan Long-Term Credit Bank
Masanori Tanabe, President of Fuji Bank
Takashi Shirakawa, President of Tokyo Industrial Bank
Tsubasa Hijikata, President of Mitsui Sakura Bank
Itochu, President of Daiichi Banking Corporation
Sanwa Bank President Toru Kawakatsu
Kitahara Sosuke, President of Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank
These twelve people lined up one after another, sitting around a huge mahogany square table. They are the most powerful people in Japan's financial and banking industry at the moment.
Kitahara Sosuke, who is only twenty-seven years old, stands out among a group of middle-aged and elderly men. He is young, energetic, and has a sharpness and murderous intent that they do not have!
"Gentlemen, regarding the Tokyo Mutual Bank project, our goal is to save the financial industry that is on the verge of collapse, especially the banking industry that is closely related to you!" Nishimura Yoshimasa looked serious. After briefly describing the resolution in the evening, he issued
Deeper concerns, "Although the banking industry has gone through several purges before, the banks you work for have not been seriously damaged, so I can understand your inaction, but now...
"
He glanced at Bank of Japan President Yasushi Mieno who was silent.
The old man looked extremely tired at this time and didn't want to say anything. After noticing Nishimura Yoshimasa's gaze, he raised his head slightly and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Nihon Bank, we have no money now."
The Bank of Japan is out of money???
Several people were stunned at first, then surprised, and finally there were looks of horror on their faces.
"What do you mean?" Ichiro Kita swallowed his saliva, not quite able to believe his ears.
Mie Noyasu looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Literally speaking. For example, today's silver inventory only has reserves to deal with international financial inspections. That money must not be touched!"
"Where's the money? Where has it gone?" Hiroyuki Nonaka, the general manager of Nichoshin, who was a little restless, asked anxiously, "Aren't there the reserves handed over by all our banks? Just this money, there should be
About 10 trillion!”
Each bank has paid a dues-like reserve to the Bank of Japan to prove their ability to enter the banking industry, and this money will also become a life-saving straw used by the Bank of Japan to deal with emergencies.
Now Mieye Yasu actually said that even the money is gone!
"We need a reasonable explanation." Hijikata Tsubasa said coldly, "Before the meeting, Director Nishimura never told us that the Bank of Japan has become what it is now."
"Gentlemen, not only the Bank of Japan, but also the Ministry of Finance, our treasury is almost empty." Ryutaro Hashimoto, who was sitting at the top, also looked serious and indifferent, and revealed another shocking secret!
Naturally, Kitahara Sosuke, who has a close relationship with Ryutaro Hashimoto, has known about these things for a long time.
The Bank of Japan's deficit was within his expectation. After all, it was the one that suffered the most damage during the Gulf War. Subsequently, the economy continued to decline. As the big brother in charge of the financial industry, the Bank of Japan has been providing money and efforts. One or two
During the year, the company was severely unable to make ends meet, resulting in a complete loss. This may sound unbelievable, but it is actually very reasonable.
As for the Ministry of Finance and who is the real controller of the national treasury, everyone knows very well at this level.
There is a Supreme Emperor sitting above his head. If he wants money, he must give him money. He will give him whatever he wants. There is nothing you can do about it.
Ryutaro Hashimoto did not expect that the Ministry of Finance would suddenly be forced into this situation. He wanted to know why the higher-ups suddenly mobilized such a huge amount of funds. What were they planning? What were they preparing?
After notifying Kitahara Sosuke of this matter immediately, he found that the young man seemed to have expected it, and just said a simple "hmm", indicating that he had already felt it!
Kitahara Sosuke didn't know, so Hashimoto Ryutaro didn't ask. When he was willing to talk, he would naturally mention it to him.
However, with the reassurance given by Kitahara Sosuke, he relaxed a little, and things did not seem to be heading to the worst side.
In his opinion, with so much money mobilized from above, it would be useless if it were just a battle in the financial industry!
Only war!
Only war can consume so much resources that the superiors are unwilling to use the country's capital and instead come to them to cut leeks.
But if war breaks out again, there is probably only one opponent in the world that can make the superiors fearful and extremely devoted.
Doesn't that mean a new round of world war will break out?
Thinking of the various crises in the country at this time, Hashimoto Ryutaro became more and more frightened as he thought about it, but looking at Kitahara Sosuke's confident look, he calmed down again.
You have to trust Sosuke!
The more times like these, the more courageous and willing you are to trust your allies!
Those previous teammates, because they refused to believe Kitahara Sosuke's fantasy operations and ideas, quit on their own and became enemies, but fell short of success.
The Hashimoto family, who had firmly followed Kitahara Sosuke all the way, became unstoppable, gradually replacing some older families and becoming the new super wealthy family in the Tokyo area.
"Have the Ministry of Finance, the National Treasury... made any big move?" Several people were puzzled, but they were not as shocked as when they learned that the Bank of Japan was in deficit.
They all understand the true ownership of the national treasury, but they are just curious about where the huge funds have been transferred.
"It's not clear yet." Ryutaro Hashimoto shook his head.
Shirakawa Takashi looked at him and asked solemnly: "Will there be... a second Gulf War that harvests other countries?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was horrified.
For those who were cut off during the Gulf War, the experience lingered like a nightmare, and it is still lingering in their minds. When he said this, some people became scared.
"It should be... not." Ryutaro Hashimoto was not sure, "If this is really the case, then let's just stand still this time..."
"Yes, we can only take one step at a time."
"As long as you don't get involved, nothing will happen."
"Yes, no matter what changes occur, we will no longer interfere easily."
"Benefits that seem to be readily available may be hidden in danger. This time, we will definitely not interfere."
There are different opinions, but the concepts embodied are the same.
That’s cowardice!
They have been frightened.
As long as you don't take action, you won't be harvested.
These former financial giants are now as if the sun is setting and they dare not engage in any illegal operations.
Looking at their looks, Kitahara Sosuke smiled softly.
Is this the opponent who was boiled as a frog in warm water?
