It feels more like a camp of strugglers fighting back to the death.
Many people sitting at the conference table thought so.
The reason why most of them chose to side with Kitahara Sosuke was not because they really believed that he could successfully counterattack, but because they had irreconcilable conflicts with the six major consortiums, the Takeshita family and other forces.
The development and growth of the six major consortiums in recent years has been based on cannibalizing small and medium-sized clubs one after another.
In the commercial battlefield, the final outcome is either the intervention of powerful forces such as the government, or the formation of a business monopoly model by several giants.
For example, in China 20 years later, Internet finance was prevalent, and in the end only a few super giants survived. They cannibalized everything, stood on all sides, and were astonishingly large.
Penguin, Ah Li, Du Niang, etc. were dominant, but they became a little more restrained until the state intervened.
The Japanese government is different from the Chinese government. Its power is said to be in the hands of the Prime Minister's Office, but in fact it is scattered in the two chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Due to the strong domestic financial groups, the state machine does not have that much say. To be precise, the state
The will may just be the will of some wealthy families.
If things go on like this, the last choice for small and medium-sized clubs will be to transfer ownership or fight to the bitter end with the six major consortiums.
The bursting of the bubble economy has certainly had a considerable impact on the six major financial groups, but the centipede is still alive. What is even more uncomfortable is the small and medium-sized clubs. In less than a year, clubs of this size have shrunk by nearly 10%.
50%, most of them were absorbed by the six major consortiums, which became the nourishment for their continued survival.
No one wanted to be downgraded from a boss to an employee who had to take orders, so they united together and formed one trade union after another. The current Japan Federation of Trade Unions has gathered a large number of such club presidents, and then the president passed by Miyazawa Kiichi
Through the recommendation, I found Kitahara Sosuke.
This is the origin of the Northern Plains Alliance.
"President Kitahara, in the initial cooperation plan, we were not reminded that we would be in opposition to the six major consortiums and many wealthy families." Kondo Kazuo, president of the Federation of Trade Unions, frowned and asked, "We are united in order not to be defeated by the six major financial groups."
The big conglomerates were defeated one by one. At the beginning, our respective enemies were strong, but not many, but now, we have to face their encirclement and suppression..."
Kazuo Kondo expressed what many people felt.
They were seeking help from Kitahara Sosuke, and they had no intention of actually fighting against the entire Japanese consortium with him.
But now that all the family property has been given away, it is no longer practical to retreat.
Kondo Kazuo said this more because he wanted to dig out some information and trump cards from Kitahara Sosuke.
"Yes, President Kitahara, you don't need to drag us along with your bet with the Takeshita family."
Someone whispered in agreement.
"Please be patient, I understand the doubts and panic in everyone's hearts." Kitahara Sosuke gently pressed the table with his hand and looked at them, "Since everyone can sit here, it means that we have reached a preliminary agreement with Kitahara Investment.
Consensus, the wealth and life of all of you are in my hands, and I will definitely not take action casually."
"Everyone must believe in Sosuke's ability and judgment. You have surpassed everything, so why not me? No matter how big you are, are you as big as our Miyazawa family!" The elderly Miyazawa Kiichi slammed the table hard and said:
Kitahara Sosuke takes the lead.
His voice settled down, and the noise in the conference room gradually subsided.
The Miyazawa family and the Uchida family must have been deeply involved in Kitahara Sosuke's plan. Even they were involved in it. Their little money was really not worth it.
Uchida Hiro also narrowed his eyes and supported: "Yes, Aosuke is not 70% or 80% sure of what he will do, so he will definitely not take action. Let's listen to his words first and then discuss it."
"I understand your doubts. The first point is that you don't know the significance of my cooperation with Moscow. The second point is that you don't see the hope of victory in the bet at the end of the year. If I lose to the Takeshita family,
So the Beiyuan Alliance is a waste of water, right?"
Kitahara Sosuke cleared his throat, and Yamakawa Sayuri immediately handed him a cup of tea.
He took a sip of barley tea, put down the cup, and turned to look at the projector. Yamakawa Sayuri cooperated with him to play the new project content.
"A few days ago, the National Assembly has approved the application of the Prime Minister's Office, officially approving Kitagahara Shinro Credit Bank to carry out overseas business. In this way, all the business originally planned to be carried out in the name of Tokyo Kyoto Bank can be transferred to Kithara Shinro
Under the banner."
Kitahara Sosuke clicked on the picture on the projector with something similar to a pointer.
"The role of high-interest loans will be discussed later; military technology and high technology can be acquired at low prices, which is self-evident to our benefit. Although we cannot see results in the short term, the cost is not high in the first place, and we still have the loan amount to advance.
It is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. If you are interested in cooperating with Kitahara Heavy Industries, you can talk to my secretary Yamakawa-san in private after the meeting; the third point is Russia's national debt. This is the same as the first point. I will explain it in detail later.
explain."
If you say it, you haven’t said it... Kondo Kazuo frowned.
"The above cooperation is for long-term considerations, and we are also planning for some future things. Of course, those who are not involved in the military industry and financial industry may not have much interest, which is not important. Going back to the second doubt, what do you think?
,Why can the Takeshita family beat me?"
"As far as I know, through the turmoil of Mao Xiong, the principal and profit of the Takeshita family totaled 696 billion rubles. Even if the ruble continues to depreciate, it can be exchanged for about 50 trillion yen in the end. The principal you agreed on is 28 trillion yen.
, is the total output value of the Kitahara clan company at that time. After excluding the principal, their profit was at least 20 trillion yen."
Kondo Kazuo whispered,
"I remember that the bet between President Kitahara and the Takeshita family did not specify the currency type. Even if the rubles were not exchanged, the Takeshita family could still make a lot of money. However, because the rubles continued to depreciate, their profits would become much thinner, so they were in a hurry.
exchange."
"They can't exchange such a large amount of yen. Maybe it won't be worth 20 trillion yen by the end of the year." Someone asked doubtfully.
"Sumitomo Bank has already intervened. Such a large amount of rubles has been diverted to many small and medium-sized financial institutions under the previous operations of President Kitahara, and the majority has been swallowed up by banks belonging to six major consortiums such as Sumitomo Bank and Sanwa Bank.
.”
Kondo Kazuo sighed. After learning the news, he was convinced that among the six major consortiums, except for Tosan, the other five had joined forces to deal with the Kitahara clan. This was the reason why he was so anxious.
They don't hesitate to eat these rubles to make the Takeshita family win as much as possible.
"I really didn't consider this."
Kitahara Sosuke smiled.
Everyone's hearts sank.
Then, he said calmly: "Actually, I went to the head office in the morning. Unfortunately, Dongsan also joined their camp."
"hiss......"
It's completely hopeless.
"I really didn't expect them to be so stupid... but it saves me trouble."
