Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 724 Visit

Hanzawa drove to the address of Yoshizawa Trust. Yoshizawa Trust is located in a 6-story commercial hall, which is decorated like a luxurious private villa.

There is also an elegant fountain at the entrance.

Every facility exudes a luxurious style.

Although Hanzawa was the nominal person in charge of the Yoshizawa project, he handed it over to his subordinates because the project had very little risk. He basically did not ask about the project and had no contact with anyone from Yoshizawa Trust.

According to the bank's information, the contact person at Yoshizawa Trust is a man named Masahiro Tomita.

Tomita is the person equivalent to the president there.

His subordinates said that Tomita seemed to be a relatively shrewd person.

Although Tomita did not behave in a particularly calculating manner in his dealings with banks, his subordinates reported that he was known for "lowering prices" in his business dealings with other institutions.

In order not to reveal his identity, Hanzawa took off his usual bank suit and put on a light-colored jacket that looked quite casual.

Opening the car door, Hanzawa walked into the trust.

There were several pretty ladies in the hall.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" Someone came up immediately.

After all, trust is a service only available to the upper class, and Hanzawa doesn't know what the process is like when these wealthy people interact with trust.

He could only cough slightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then said:

"I don't have an appointment. I just want to learn about your family trust service. I heard that your service is good."

Upon hearing this, the lady in the lobby immediately took Hanze to the side of the hall and began to introduce the company's family trust business, including setting up a family office, etc. Many beautiful and bright promotional materials were displayed.

Hanzawa listened to the introduction and nodded perfunctorily.

He didn't know whether the Financial Services Agency had visited Yoshizawa Trust, so he decided to give it a try.

"The most important thing about trust is safety!" Hanzawa said.

"Yes! A trust is equivalent to an isolation mechanism that isolates your family property and protects it from being reclaimed by others. Now more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the use of trusts." The receptionist responded enthusiastically.

"But I heard that some trust companies suffered losses due to illegal activities." Hanzawa frowned deliberately.

"Therefore, you need to be very cautious when choosing a trust company. Whether you choose our Jizawa Trust or not, you must pay attention to the legitimacy of the trust company."

"Have you heard that the Financial Services Agency has recently taken regulatory actions against several banks? Bank of Tokyo, Mizuho Bank, etc. have all been investigated. Many of the bank's trust projects are also prone to violations. The current regulatory authorities are investigating very strictly!!"

When Hanzawa spoke, he deliberately emphasized the Tokyo Central Bank.

He wanted to observe whether the receptionist's expression changed.

Judging from the situation of the Financial Services Department, if they come to investigate, there will definitely be chaos here.

I guess these reception staff will be annoyed by this.

However, after hearing Hanzawa's words, the lady who was explaining still had the same expression, without any change.

Is that strange?

Hasn’t the Financial Services Department come here yet?

After chatting for about 20 minutes, Hanzawa suddenly asked:

"Do you have a man called Tomita?"

"Yes. Mr. Tomita is a professional senior consultant here. He has also set up family trusts and family offices for many people."

"Can I see him?"

"Let me confirm." The receptionist was looking through today's schedule at the counter. "I'm sorry, sir. He's still serving other clients." "I can wait for him." Hanzawa said.

Hanzawa wandered around the lobby of Yoshizawa Trust and picked up a lot of their brochures. After about 50 minutes, the receptionist came over and said that it was time to meet Mr. Tomita.

Hanzawa walked up the stairs and arrived at the third floor of the hall.

At the end of the corridor is Tomita's office.

There are also silver-gray imitation Greek sculptures at the entrance.

The receptionist knocked on the door carefully, and after hearing a response, she opened the door and let Hanzawa in.

Tomita was sitting behind his desk. He wore a pair of thick-framed glasses and looked about fifty years old. The desk was filled with various foreign-language materials. Next to it was a world map with scribbled drawings on it of world-famous offshore centers such as the Cayman Islands, making him look very professional.

"Hello." Tomita stood up and bowed slightly.

Standard business etiquette.

Hanzawa and Tomita were the only ones left in the room.

"I heard that you want to set up a family trust, right?" Tomita walked to the globe next to him in the office. "When it comes to family trusts, the first and most important thing is where to set it up. We must choose a place where people can feel at ease, where property can flow freely, and where the independence of the trust property can be best protected by law."

Tomita's professional ability is obviously much better than the receptionist just now.

In just a few minutes, the key points of setting up a family trust were grasped.

And, it is told in an engaging way.

Hanzawa keenly felt that this Tomita was not ordinary.

The conversation continued.

As time went by, Tomita gradually felt something was wrong. He felt that the man in front of him did not seem to be sincere in setting up the trust.

While I was speaking, the man was listening attentively.

However, the man's expression did not seem like he was listening to something related to trust, but rather like he was seriously examining himself.

Tomita can be considered an old fox in the world.

Generally, consultations regarding trusts are made through introductions from acquaintances or by making appointments by phone.

There are very few direct door-to-door visits like this.

"May I ask you something?" Tomita asked, "What is the approximate size of the family trust you plan to set up?"

"Well..." Hanzawa hesitated for a moment, "It depends on the specific situation of my business this year, and how much money I can spare when I see it."

Tomita caught Hanzawa's slight hesitation.

Tomita immediately realized that the person in front of him had bad intentions.

Although it is unclear why he came today, it definitely has nothing to do with the trust.

Generally speaking, people who come to consult a trust will at least have a minimum amount in mind.

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment with other people. If you are still interested in setting up a family trust, we can make an appointment another day." Tomita was essentially ordering him to leave.

"I am Naoki Hanzawa, the deputy director of the Second Sales Department of the Tokyo Central Bank."

The voice of the man in front of him rang out.
