Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 727: Eriko's Network of Interests

Everyone in the office was surprised that Hanzawa could figure out the idea of ​​tracing the case so quickly. He was indeed an excellent banker.

Jingcun has been in the industry for many years, but he has rarely seen people with such a quick mind. You know, finance taught in textbooks and finance in practice are two completely different things. Even if you are a student from a first-class university or a first-class finance department, you will still be severely beaten and educated by reality.

This young man named Banzawa really has some skills.

Soon, the people in the office followed Banze's idea and started to investigate. They were all fully focused and kept reading the documents. After all, time was the most precious thing now. The board of directors only gave Banze two weeks, and now he couldn't afford to waste even a day.

Hanzawa was sitting at his seat, constantly flipping through the materials, and occasionally scribbling on his notebook, recording the important information he had obtained.

The clock on the bank showed 5:27.

There was even a faint glow in the sky.

Everyone in the office stayed up all night.

A tired look appeared on everyone's face.

However, the eyes in this face are clear.

Yes, after a night of hard work, they made many discoveries.

A diagram of relationships was drawn on the whiteboard in the office using a specially made thick pen.

"Let me finally sort out our findings today." Hanzawa stood up and said.

Everyone in the office, Watari, Imura, and Hanzawa's loyal subordinate, were all looking at the whiteboard intently.

This has been a secret hidden among the top brass of the Tokyo Central Bank for more than a decade.

Everyone present was driven by strong curiosity.

Want to find out.

"When Eriko was the vice president, she had about 20 stable, large corporate clients," Hanzawa said. "After the Meiki Island incident, Eriko left the Tokyo Central Bank. These 20 or so important clients also left with her. It is unknown which bank they went to."

"But then, something interesting happened at Shirai's place."

"At that time, Eriko was in charge of the third and fourth sales departments. The third and fourth departments were the main forces of the Tokyo Central Bank at that time. However, Shirai was also from the original industrial group, but at that time he was in the first sales department. Originally, the two were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but they had some overlapping projects."

"How did Eriko and Shirai know each other and start doing business together? I guess it has something to do with their schools." Hanzawa said, holding their resumes. "In their official resumes, there is a six-month period that is blank. The records in the archives show that Eriko, Shirai, and more than a dozen people in the bank went to the American Stern School of Business at New York University for short-term overseas training."

"I'm afraid that's when they formed a network. Shirai and Eriko had overlapping projects, both of which started after this short period of overseas study."

"There are about five important clients in the hands of Shirai, who were Eriko's previous clients." Hanzawa pointed to the whiteboard, "These five clients are Nishitani Electromechanical, Arita Manufacturing, Ogino Equipment, Kamiya Transport, and Kawata Industry."

"What's very strange is that these five clients left the Tokyo Central Bank along with Eriko. But later, they became Shirai's clients."

"Moreover, the timing when these five customers became Shirai's customers again was very clever, which was seven years ago," Hanzawa said.

Hearing this time point, Imura seemed to have received an electric shock and saw the mystery behind it, "I see! I see! I see! I see!!"

Seeing Imura so excited, Watari Masato hurriedly asked, "Is there anything special about this time?" "This time is exactly when Shirai was promoted to vice president!" Imura said, "At that time, the factional struggle in the bank was very fierce, and two vice president positions were vacant. In order to avoid factional bias affecting promotion, the promotion of vice presidents that year paid special attention to the completion of indicators."

"I still remember that at that time, Shirai didn't have much hope of becoming the vice president, because it was said that he didn't meet the targets very well. But in the end, Shirai actually came out on top. This way it worked! It worked! It was the resources that Eriko gave him!!"

Imura's words shocked the rest of the people in the office.

Eriko introduced resources to Shirai, and then assisted Shirai in completing key promotion indicators, making him vice president.

With Hanzawa's sketch and Imura's supplement—

A personnel transaction involving collusion between insiders and outsiders thus came to light.

Watari opened his mouth slightly, he couldn't quite believe that this was actually true.

A woman who was fired from a bank.

After several years, it can even influence the promotion of the vice president of the bank!!!

If I tell this to others, I’m afraid no one will believe it!!!

Apart from the people in this room, even if you randomly arrest an employee of the Tokyo Central Bank, I’m afraid they won’t believe that such a bizarre thing could happen!!

In an instant, everyone in the office suddenly felt an indescribable chill.

You know, the current president of the Tokyo Central Bank, Nakano, has been called to the Financial Services Agency for questioning. If anything happens to Nakano, then Shirai will undoubtedly be the next president!

This means that the person whom Eriko once influenced and supported will become the highest authority in the bank!

Hanze also had to take a breath.

Then, the deputy director of the second sales department continued, "Next, we checked Yoshizawa Trust's projects one by one. We found that the trust funds of about 50 projects eventually flowed back to the five clients, Nishitani Electromechanical, Arita Manufacturing, Ogino Equipment, Kamiya Transport, and Kawata Industry, through various channels."

"That is to say, Eriko introduced the resources to Shirai, and Shirai was promoted to vice president. Later, in return, Shirai lent a large amount of bank funds to the resource companies provided by Eriko through Yoshizawa Trust."

Following Hanzawa's words—

A complex and entangled network of interests within the bank was exposed.

Everyone present fell silent.

They all felt how insignificant they were in this relationship of exchange of interests.

Is it possible to change this situation?

That's impossible.

Jingcun shuddered, stood up, picked up the eraser, and wiped out all the writing on the whiteboard.

Now, the truth gradually emerges -

But, what to do?
