The headquarters building in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, was the former Tokyo head office building of Industrial Bank of Japan. It is now owned by Kitahara Shinro Credit Bank. It has been vacant before. Due to the sharp drop in land prices, countless real estate projects in Tokyo have become unfinished buildings that no one cares about. Many of them have become unfinished buildings.
The posters couldn't bear the losses caused by the price difference and committed suicide one after another.
And all the properties they left behind were taken over by the government, because there are no real estate takeovers now, and these buildings are all vacant. The government began to sell them one by one at a low price, hoping to get some funds to cover the previous huge losses.
Even so, few people still invest in these Tokyo buildings that were in short supply in the past. After all, no matter how low the price is, it is still an astronomical figure. What's more, the current economic situation is so bad that no one with money can think of buying real estate.
Oh, there are still people who can.
That is the leader of the Kitahara clan club, Kitahara Sosuke.
He signed a huge real estate acquisition project with the government with a total capital of 500 billion yen, acquiring almost all vacant properties in Chiyoda District.
If we put it in the bubble era, this is simply taking advantage of the situation. For 500 billion yen, I am afraid I can only buy a building, and the location is very rubbish.
But now, I heard that an entrepreneur was willing to acquire those properties for 500 billion yen. Various government departments were overjoyed and agreed one after another.
That's 500 billion yen! It can solve the urgent need.
However, Kitahara Sosuke did not plan to pay it all in one lump sum. Even for him, it would not be easy for him to come up with 500 billion yen in cash instantly, not to mention that the money could be used for anything better than buying a house in China.
Having said that, what he values is the business opportunity of the continued depreciation of the yen in the future and the gradual increase in housing prices after the millennium.
500 billion yen eats up half of Chiyoda City, which looks like a huge loss at this time.
At any other time point, it would be a sure-fire business.
And he paid it in installments, 500 billion yen, over thirty years, with no interest.
The average is less than 20 billion a year.
If Tomiichi Murayama hadn't been the current Prime Minister, he really wouldn't have been able to get such a preferential project.
These are all hidden benefits brought by strength.
Therefore, once you have reached a certain level of money, money is really just a number. What matters is how you use the least amount of money to get the most benefits and grab a bigger piece of the cake.
Of course, although money is just a number, when it comes to a higher level of struggle, the size of the number will indirectly determine the outcome of the battle.
This 500 billion is guaranteed to make a profit without losing any money.
The establishment of Tokyo Mutual Bank gave the financial community a shot in the arm, allowing them to see the light of day. Those financial institutions that were about to lose their hold also revived and are waiting for negotiations with Tokyo Mutual Bank.
In the headquarters building, as the general manager, Ichiro Kitada arrived belatedly. After attending the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony with Special Manager Sosuke Kitahara, he left immediately.
Tokyo Mutual Bank seems to be very prosperous, but the things it wants to do are not that glorious. As the president of the Japan Banking Association, Ichiro Katita must nominally stand on the side of the financial community, and naturally he cannot reveal that he is helping the government.
The willingness to take advantage of others.
The other five people didn't even show up, they just put their names on the list.
As a special agent, Kitahara Sosuke naturally became the center of attention, accepting interviews from reporters.
"Excuse me, Special Agent Kitahara. I heard that all employees of Tokyo Mutual Bank are from Kitahara Shinlang Credit Bank. Is this your special arrangement?" A reporter asked, holding up the microphone.
This is also a question that many laymen have.
In their view, this is the largest project of cooperation between the government and a consortium in recent years, so why does the seemingly unrelated Hokuhara Shinro Credit Bank contribute the most?
"This is not my personal arrangement, but a decision made after discussion by the board of directors. As we all know, the banking industry is encountering some difficulties today. The six major urban banks have more affairs to deal with, and internal employees are under high workload.
It is impossible to escape and work at Tokyo Kyodo Bank."
Kitahara Sosuke had already thought of a way to respond. Who doesn't know how to speak in official Chinese?
"Although Kitahara Shinro Credit Union Bank is larger than most credit unions, it does not belong to the banking system and has no right to participate in the resolution of internal conflicts in the banking industry, so it is not that busy. I am honored to be invited by the Prime Minister's Cabinet to become a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
The bank's executive also realized that I should take on this arduous responsibility."
"The main responsibilities of Tokyo Kyodo Bank are the following two points. First, to assist other financial institutions to tide over the crisis, and second, to seek new investment and development opportunities. These two businesses are very familiar to bank employees, but for Kitahara
The employees of Shenlang are still quite unfamiliar. I also hope that through this special learning, they can grow rapidly and become excellent practitioners in the financial industry in the future."
"So, when Special Agent Beihara arranges for you to join your employees, he also has the selfish intention of letting them benefit from it, right?"
The reporter continued to ask, and there was obviously a little trap hidden in his question.
Kitahara Sosuke smiled and nodded: "I do hope that my employees can grow through this project. You have to understand that this is selfish, and I won't refute it, haha. Of course, the real shareholders of Tokyo Mutual Bank are the six major cities.
The bank has nothing to do with our Beihara Shenlang Credit Bank. If you want to delve deeper into the stakeholders, I don’t think you should put suspicion on me.”
He didn't know who was standing behind this reporter. Anyway, Kitahara Sosuke was fearless. He contributed his own manpower and also came forward to do his best as a special agent. He didn't get a penny of profit. What could they do to discredit themselves?
The reporter was calmed by his half-smile and half-answer tone. He laughed a few times and sat down without asking any more questions.
Another female reporter raised her hand to ask a question.
This was a request arranged by Kitahara Sosuke among the reporters.
There are many more such services.
Anyway, the so-called press conference is nothing more than an invisible game between the six major financial groups and him, a show performed for the public.
"Specialist Kitahara, I thought I heard you talking about investment issues just now. Will Tokyo Kyoto Bank still be involved in investment business?" the female reporter asked curiously.
Kitahara Sosuke nodded: "Of course, although Tokyo Kyoto Bank's primary task is to deal with the crisis of financial institutions, if it encounters a good investment opportunity, it will seize it with all its strength. After all, our bankers' ultimate goal is to make profits.
, Creating wealth for the country means creating wealth for the people. As a banker, I always regard this as my highest ideal to practice!"
The audience burst into applause.
Ichiro Kita in front of the TV was even more confused.
