Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 421 Countermeasures
At the same time, the court of Morimoto corruption case.

After the trial ended, the audience in the public gallery had dispersed, and Morimoto was also taken away by the bailiff and returned to the detention center.Prosecutors also withdrew.In the large criminal trial court, only the defendant's defense lawyers were packing up the files brought over.

Yuki, who had been sitting in the corner without attracting the attention of others, also stood up at this moment, walked straight, opened the wooden fence of the court, and came to the defense bench.

Two buttons of the shirt on her body have been unbuttoned, and the snow-white under the neck can be seen faintly. Coupled with the age in her early 30s, every move exudes the mature and charming charm of a woman.With a seductive smile, Yuuki joked, "Lawyer Kitahara, you look so charming in court."

"Investigator Yuki, pay attention to your wording."

"Can't you have a little fun? Boring man."

"My relationship with you doesn't seem to be to the point where I want to be interested in you." Beiyuan sorted out the materials on the desktop and put them in folders.

"We are now a 'cooperative relationship'." Yuki smiled.

Kitahara shrugged noncommittally.Although he and Yuki have reached a temporary alliance, there is a subtle conflict between the goals of the two.Kitahara's goal as a defense lawyer is to exonerate Morimoto.However, Yuki's goal is to audit the industry-research joint venture of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University.In other words, Morimoto must also be among the objects of investigation that Yuki wants to audit.

The two are actually friends and foes.

"According to today's trial, the Accounting Inspection Institute's stop payment order should be able to last for a while longer." Yuki said.

However, as soon as the words fell, Yuki's expression became gloomy again, "However, according to the situation we have now, we are still facing great difficulties in promoting the audit of these joint ventures of production and research."

As soon as the investigator's words were spoken, the atmosphere, which had become a little relaxed just because the trial was over, became tense again.

At this time, Miyagawa, who had gone to the bathroom, also came back from outside the court.As soon as she came in, she saw Yuuki, Niwa, and Kitahara each with a bit of dignified expression...

……

……

In the evening, 10:23.

Kyoto, The Liston Hotel, Room 1706.

"What exactly is the difficulty?" Beiyuan sat on a chair in the guest room and looked at the investigator in front of him. "What kind of thing is it? Even the Accounting Inspection Office will find it difficult."

There are Miyagawa, Niwa, and Yuki in the guest room.These few people got together again to discuss countermeasures to deal with joint production and research enterprises.

Yuki was still holding a glass of rum in his hand, shaking the ice cubes in the glass, took a sip, and said: "We have now discovered that many early years of industry-research joint ventures have been canceled. And the time period for cancellation It's very concentrated, it's an anomalous sign. There are deployments to erase the existence of these businesses."

"However, what about erasing the existence of the company? Can't you check the shareholders?" Miyagawa asked next to him, "If there is a problem with the liquidation of the company, the corresponding shareholders can be held accountable. No matter how powerful they are, the shareholders It can't run either."

"Do you know who designed the equity structure of these industry-research joint ventures?" Yuki put down his glass, "I found a piece of news from almost ten years ago. When the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University implemented the industry-research cooperation strategy, it was still a Very important news. At that time, Nomura Securities and the Central Bank of Tokyo took the lead and teamed up with three overseas hedge funds to participate in the equity design of these industry-research joint ventures.”

Niwa's eyes widened when he heard the names of Nomura Securities and the Central Bank of Tokyo.For a reporter who often engages in in-depth investigative reports, she is of course very familiar with the names of these two financial institutions.Nomura Securities is the largest brokerage firm in Toyo, and the Central Bank of Tokyo is a super Toyo Bank formed by the merger of the Industrial Central Bank and the First Bank of Tokyo.Both institutions are giants in the financial world.

Regardless of the amount of funds for an industry-research joint venture, its volume is relatively small.Unexpectedly, the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University could invite these two financial institutions and even overseas hedge funds to participate in the equity design.

"The idea of ​​holding accountable shareholders is very good, but the reality is very skinny." Yuuki looked at Miyagawa, and then the investigator took out a folded piece of paper from her bag, and unfolded it.

I saw that this piece of paper was bigger than an A3 paper when it was fully unfolded.It is full of dense lines and arrows, like a ball of wool, making it impossible to understand the context inside.The names of many clubs appear here. Under these complex traction lines, the relationship between them is nested layer by layer, and the viewer has no way to figure out the relationship between them.

"This is just a shareholding structure diagram of an industry-research joint venture." Yuki said, "The shareholding of these industry-research joint ventures is extremely scattered and nested layer by layer. It is impossible to find the ultimate actual controller. Or simply put it this way , these companies do not have a real controlling shareholder at all, not even a major shareholder.”

"With great difficulty, after analysis, we found a few people who are suspected to be major shareholders. However, they are foreign natural persons or foreign companies, and our Accounting Inspection Office has no way to take action."

"Just now, lawyer Miyagawa said that shareholders should be held accountable." Yuki continued, "Some industry-research joint ventures have even adopted a circular capital contribution method in which the parent company and the subsidiary company hold shares in each other."

【Mutual Shareholding Between Parent and Subsidiary】

[The so-called parent-subsidiary mutual shareholding means that company A holds shares in company B, and company B in turn holds shares in company A.For example, Company A holds 51% of the shares of Company B, and Company B holds 51% of the shares of Company A, thus forming an extremely complicated shareholding structure with mutual shareholding and capital contribution cycle, which makes it extremely difficult to evaluate the shares of Company A and Company B. equity value, and who is the real actual controller of the company]

Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly when he heard the circular investment method.She has two years of experience in non-litigation work, and has a good understanding of the capital market and equity design.However, this is the first time she has heard of this method of revolving capital.This design has completely exceeded her imagination.

The A3 paper placed in front of everyone silently proclaimed the equity design strength of the top experts in Dongyang Finance.

Wanting to pursue accountability is tantamount to fighting against the top financiers in the East.

"So, lawyer Beiyuan." Yucheng looked at the young male lawyer in the room, "Be sure to ask lawyer Beiyuan to continue to cooperate with the trial. I still need more time to promote the audit."

Beiyuan looked at the information and fell into thought for a while.There is no doubt that the situation ahead is very difficult.It is almost impossible to crack the equity maze designed by top financiers in a short period of time.The room fell into silence immediately, and it was difficult for everyone to come up with a good countermeasure for a while.

In Beiyuan's mind, thoughts were running rapidly.

It seems that countless fragments are constantly colliding.

When a knot in a rope is difficult to untie, just cut it.

Such a sentence crashed into Bei Yuan's mind suddenly.

Then Beiyuan raised his head and looked at the female reporter in the room, "No matter how beautiful a company's design is on paper, it will reveal its true colors in front of field inspections. If you want to really grasp the opponent's flaws, you have to Relying on information on paper is absolutely not enough. Just as it is difficult to find financial fraud by only looking at the company's accounting statements, it is necessary to conduct on-the-spot investigations. Therefore, Niwa, for the investigation of the industry-research joint venture, it is necessary to please."
