Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 743 The counterattack begins

That night, Hanzawa, Watari, Kitahara and others discussed a counterattack plan against Shirai and Eriko. The counterattack was scheduled for two weeks later, when Hanzawa was to report the results of the investigation into the Yoshizawa Trust case at the bank board meeting.

In this board meeting, they want to take down Shirai!!!

Soon, time passed.

The day before the board meeting that would decide Hanzawa's life or death.

Morning, 9:31.

Kitahara arrived at the Financial Services Agency. There were still many busy prosecutors in the office. Because the deadline for the Tokyo Central Bank to respond to the regulatory letter was approaching. The prosecutors of the Financial Services Agency were all thinking about the corresponding enforcement plans for the various responses that the bank might make.

Kitahara walked directly to Kurosaki's office.

From time to time, prosecutors would see him and nod toward Kitahara.

The ability of this young male lawyer has been recognized by the Financial Services Agency.

"Hey!" Kurosaki was working in his office. When he saw Kitahara, he immediately stood up and said, "Isn't this our lawyer? What can I do for you?"

"I found the 300 billion yen loan that the Tokyo Central Bank actually concealed." Kitahara said simply.

Kitahara's purpose of coming to the Financial Services Agency today is simple.

It is to make final preparations for the counterattack against Shirai and Eriko tomorrow.

Hanzawa believes that Nishitani Electric should honestly accept the punishment from the regulatory authorities regarding its cover-up of 300 billion yen in bad debts.

This attitude was somewhat beyond Beiyuan's expectations.

Kitahara also asked him whether he needed to convey a message to President Nakano for instructions.

But Hanzawa told himself that what President Nakano said before he left was exactly -

Be honest about everything you do.

Hanzawa thought this was what Governor Nakano meant.

Sincerely accept the punishment from the Financial Services Agency.

"Lawyer Kitahara, you are kidding me." Kurosaki was drinking coffee and almost choked. "Isn't it just Fukuda's 300 billion yen in bad debt?!"

"Director Kurosaki, can you take a look at this document?" Kitahara took out a piece of material and placed it in front of Kurosaki.

This is a document related to the Tongfu real estate project.

This is what Kitahara had discovered before at the Tokyo Central Bank.

It is exactly——

Documents for additional security provided by Fubon Real Estate.

Although President Nakano made illegal withdrawals and deposits, fortunately, Fukuba Real Estate's capital chain was not broken in the later period, and it was revived. A series of commercial and residential real estate under the name of Fukuba Real Estate were additionally guaranteed. The assessed value of the entire guarantee far exceeded 300 billion yen.

This means that the 300 billion yen of Fukuhashi Real Estate is no longer a bad debt.

It is certainly against the rules to withdraw and deposit money without any evidence, but if it is not linked to covering up bad loan debts, the nature of the offense would not be as serious as it is originally.

"This Nakano is actually playing tricks on me!! Playing tricks on me!!!" Kurosaki slammed the table, his entire face almost distorted.

The additional guarantee document in front of me——

This means that the Financial Services Agency’s previous investigation direction was completely wrong.

There is no point in talking to Nakano.

The director of the Financial Services Department was fooled again.

I was fooled by Hanzawa before.

Now we are being fooled by President Nakano.

Kurosaki felt like he was about to pass out.

At this time, Kurosaki was already sweating coldly.

He has to accept the fact.

"You just said that you found the 300 billion yen in bad debt that was actually covered up?"

"Yes."

"Which one?"

Kitahara raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Before I tell you, I need the Financial Services Agency to issue me a document first."

"what document?"

“Conflict of Interest Waiver Letter.”

【Conflict of Interest Waiver Letter】

[The so-called conflict of interest refers to a situation where the lawyer's agency activities conflict with the interests of the client. For example, if a lawyer represents both the plaintiff and the defendant, then the lawyer is in a conflict of interest. However, if the lawyer can inform the plaintiff and the defendant of this situation, and the plaintiff and the defendant agree to issue a conflict of interest exemption letter, then the lawyer can continue to serve as the plaintiff and the defendant's lawyer at the same time.]

"What's the use of this?" Kurosaki said.

Kurosaki was a little confused. Kitahara spoke up and told the Chief Prosecutor of the Financial Services Agency his thoughts.

The next second, everyone working on this floor heard Kurosaki's sharpest scream since they started working here -

"what!!!"

The voice was so high-pitched, like a singer's screaming.

Although the glass wall has a soundproofing effect, many people covered their ears.

Many people couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened.

……

……

……

Finally, the day of the board meeting arrived.

On this day, the directors, major shareholder representatives, and senior executives of the Tokyo Central Bank will review Hanzawa's investigation report on the Yoshizawa Trust case and decide on their subsequent response to the Financial Services Agency's regulatory letter.

This day was also the moment Kitahara and Hanzawa had planned to launch a counterattack!

Morning, 8:16.

Hanzawa was sitting in the office lobby of the head office.

After that night, Hanzawa did not set foot in the head office for two weeks.

Come back here again.

Everything is so familiar.

Everything is so strange.

Many people who were suspended from the Second Sales Department were temporarily replaced by Shirai's own confidants.

One person attains enlightenment.

Everyone in the family will prosper.

There is nothing more.

The Second Sales Department that I always feel close to.

Now, Hanzawa could feel the hostile looks from Shirai's cronies.

The board meeting starts at 9 o'clock, and there are still nearly 40 minutes left.

Hanzawa was getting a little nervous. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous, because the board of directors would pass judgment on his career as a banker.

Who knows what the result will be?

Since Shirai took over as acting president, the board of directors has been almost completely dominated by the original industry faction. A high-level personnel purge has quietly begun. Many senior executive positions have been replaced by people from the original industry faction. The list of alternate directors is also mostly from the original industry faction.

Even if he revealed all the materials accusing Shirai at the board meeting.

I don’t know whether Shirai’s power is enough to cover up all these things.

This time, Hanzawa has placed his hopes on the lawyer named Kitahara.

Yes.

Hanzawa is a man who has come through the brutal struggles of the bank step by step.

He would rather believe in himself.

However, this time, his hope lies in a lawyer.

I have discussed this with lawyer Kitahara before. With the current situation in which the A-group is in control, is it useful for them to expose Shirai in the board meeting?

The Beiyuan lawyer told himself——

To break the balance of power held by Shirai on the board of directors.

But how could it be so easy?

Lawyer Kitahara said, leave it to him.

I can only believe it.

Do what you can to the best of your ability.

The rest depends on the lawyer!

Hanzawa was so nervous that he closed his eyes and leaned back in his office chair to rest.

Just after closing my eyes and resting for a while, I was suddenly grabbed by the arm and shaken awake.

When I looked up, it was Watari.

All I heard was Watari's voice saying anxiously, "Hanzawa!! There's a new item on the agenda for the board of directors. They're going to appoint Shirai as the official president!!!"
