Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 695 I hope it’s none of your business!

Hanzawa got out of the taxi quickly.

He walked quickly into the door of Tokyo Central Bank. At this time, he already felt that the situation was very bad. Since he was transferred back from Tokyo Central Securities, he had found that the factional struggle within the bank was getting more and more intense.

The Tokyo Central Bank was formed by the merger of the Tokyo First Bank and the Industrial Central Bank.

Therefore, there was a struggle within the bank between the former Tokyo faction and the former industrial faction.

The current governor, Nakano, is a former member of the Tokyo faction.

After Hanzawa was promoted by the president back to the Tokyo headquarters, he was also regarded as a member of the original Tokyo faction.

The power of the original industrial faction had been hit by many previous bad loan incidents. They were eager to revive their power and drive out the original Tokyo faction.

And Hanzawa, at this time, is a thorn in the side of the original industry faction.

There is no doubt that factional struggles within the industry will become more intense with the help of this incident.

Thinking of this, Hanze also felt a headache.

Quickly go up to the second floor of the head office building.

The large meeting room for directors is at the end of this floor.

The head office's iconic red carpet is laid on high-grade wooden boards with a classical feel and runs all the way through the conference room.

There was a figure in the corridor, a middle-aged man standing there.

He is not tall and has a dark skin.

However, when the middle-aged man saw Hanzawa, his eyes seemed to light up and he couldn't stop grinning.

His name is Yamatoda.

He used to be a general manager of a bank and was originally from the industrial faction. Because of the Ise Island Hotel incident, Hanzawa exposed his corruption and his position as general manager was removed.

Hanzawa and Yamato are sworn enemies.

Yamato saw that the person coming was Hanzawa, and walked up to him with a smile on his face:

"Hey, hey, hey. Isn't this Hanzawa-kun?"

Hanzawa ignored Yamatoda's greeting and walked straight over. He knew that Yamatoda's sly smile was meant to amuse him in the meeting he was about to attend.

Yamato also knew that the Tokyo Central Bank had received a regulatory letter from the Financial Services Agency.

The original industry group is bound to be ready to move.

"Hanzawa-kun, why are you ignoring me?!" Yamato shouted from behind Hanzawa, "You can't bring this kind of attitude into the meeting room."

Yamato laughed in a gloating tone.

The man who was stripped of his executive position knew that this time, the opportunity for the original industry to turn things around was finally coming!

In this Financial Services Agency regulatory incident, Governor Nakano must step down!

Hanzawa walked to the front of the meeting room and took a deep breath.

Then he pushed open the heavy brown wooden door with both hands.

In front of him, more than 30 bank directors and executives were sitting at a long conference table. The moment Hanzawa came in, all eyes fell on him. Hanzawa had become a "celebrity" in the Tokyo Central Bank. A small clerk had actually defeated Yamatoda, who was a general manager. Many directors present witnessed the scene of Yamatoda kneeling down to apologize.

At this moment, the person sitting next to President Nakano is——

It was Vice President Shirai.

He was the one who referred Yoshizawa Trust to Hanzawa. Shirai was from the original industry faction and was a senior bank executive with rich experience. After the Tokyo Central Bank completed the merger, the original industry faction led by Shirai implemented a radical expansion strategy, fought for the bank and established many kingdoms. It can be said that Shirai has made an indispensable contribution to the status of Tokyo Central Bank in the East today.

It is precisely because of this that Shirai is very dissatisfied with the fact that the former Tokyo faction currently holds the position of bank president.

When President Nakano saw Hanzawa coming in, he said, "Hanzawa, I think you already know the basic situation. This morning we received a regulatory letter from the Financial Services Agency regarding the Yoshizawa Trust project. The regulatory letter pointed out to us that Yoshizawa Trust was suspected of using bank funds to purchase 300 billion yen of our bank's non-performing loans, and was suspected of 'false balance sheet' operations."

"You are the person in charge of the Yoshizawa Trust Project. Please give us a brief report on the project right now."

Hanzawa had just returned from a signing ceremony outside and had not had time to look through any information on the Yoshizawa Trust project.

"I have to be honest," Hanzawa said, "Yoshizawa Trust was a project referred to me by Vice President Shirai. The risk of this project is very low, and we approved the project after completing the routine due diligence procedures. I haven't had time to look through the specific project information because I just learned about the situation of the Financial Services Agency."

"Hey! Why did you mention Vice President Shirai's name?" a director interrupted, "Do you mean that Vice President Shirai should be held responsible for this incident?"

"Banze! Can you please stop shirking responsibility?" Another senior executive from the original industry echoed. "Such an urgent matter has occurred, and you didn't even look at the project information! Come on! What's your attitude!" A director directly scolded.

Hanze frowned.

There was no response to these criticisms.

His eyes fell on Vice President Shirai.

Hanzawa knew that all this must be the work of Shirai.

Shirai felt Hanzawa's gaze and smiled lightly as if it didn't matter. Shirai was a little fat, and after moving his body slightly, he spoke:

"Hanzawa. As the vice president, I have introduced projects not only to you, but also to many other people in the bank. I believe President Nakano has done the same."

"Introducing the project to you is to give you the opportunity to show your talents. As for whether the project itself is feasible and reliable, you need to use your professional knowledge and prudent attitude as a banker to judge it!"

President Nakano coughed slightly and said, "I think that no matter how much we argue among ourselves today, it cannot change the fact that the Financial Services Agency has already sent us a regulatory letter."

At this time, many directors and executives from the original industry at the meeting smiled secretly.

They were eager to see former Tokyo-faction Governor Nakano get into trouble.

Shirai has the same mentality.

It doesn't matter whether he introduced this project to Hanzawa or not.

What’s important is that he never signed any banking process documents for this project from beginning to end.

Therefore, Shirai cannot be held accountable in any way.

The person who can be held accountable is Hanzawa, the person in charge of the Yoshizawa Trust project.

Also, if the Tokyo Central Bank is severely punished for this, then Governor Nakano must also resign.

Nakano looked at Hanzawa.

The governor knew that the Tokyo Central Bank had reached a critical juncture of life and death due to internal factional struggles.

Whether the bank can survive this inspection by the Financial Services Agency will be a critical moment for it to continue to maintain its current position in the industry.

"Hanzawa, you are the person in charge of the Yoshizawa Trust project, so you are most familiar with the situation. We must respond to the regulatory letter from the Financial Services Agency. I think you are the right person. This time, I will ask you to organize an internal investigation to find out whether our bank has indeed engaged in 'false reporting' operations, and respond appropriately to the Financial Services Agency's investigation."

As soon as Nakano's words came out, many directors expressed dissatisfaction.

This Hanzawa has a grudge against the Financial Services Agency.

He even has to deal with the investigation by the Financial Services Agency.

"I understand, President." Hanzawa bowed.

Then he looked at Shirai.

Hanzawa did not respond to the ridicule and abuse from the directors and executives of the original industry faction.

However, this is not his character.

Vice President Shirai has personality traits that Hanzawa hates.

Introduce projects with the risk of failure to subordinates.

Success is the credit of superiors.

Failure is the subordinate's fault.

Hanzawa couldn't stand the deformed banking system.

An eye for an eye, double the return, is Hanzawa's creed.

The next second, Hanzawa said something that none of the directors and executives present had expected.

They could not imagine that Hanzawa, a small deputy director of the business department, would dare to challenge the vice president.

"I hope Vice President Shirai is not involved in this incident!" Hanzawa's voice rang out.
