Chapter 744 Board of Directors

Tokyo Central Bank Head Office, 2nd floor.

The corridor with ancient Greek style decoration was filled with directors, shareholder representatives, and senior executives. There were less than 10 minutes left before the board meeting officially began. Many people walked into the bank's iconic large conference room.

Hanzawa also came to the meeting room.

The first item on the board's agenda this time was to review its own report on the Yoshizawa Trust.

As a result, he was also allowed to sit on the board from the outset.

Hanzawa sat in a chair against the wall. Whenever the industrial directors passed by him, he could feel the contemptuous laughter from them.

Hanzawa looked up and scanned the field, and he saw Shirai.

Shirai was in high spirits, socializing with everyone in the conference room. He occasionally talked to a few senior executives, and occasionally walked to another small group of people and greeted them enthusiastically. From the bank's shareholder representatives, directors, supervisors, to the senior executives of various departments, Shirai seemed to be able to handle them with ease.

This simply foreshadows that—

The Tokyo Central Bank is truly about to usher in a dynasty era of the original industrial faction.

Gradually, people in the conference room began to take their seats.

The chatter gradually faded.

Suddenly, Shirai's voice was heard saying, "Everyone. Today's board meeting of the Tokyo Central Bank is of great importance. This time, there will be outsiders attending our meeting."

Everyone's eyes fell on Shirai.

Outsider?

What kind of outsiders will attend the bank's secretive high-level meetings.

Many people became curious.

Hanzawa was no exception. He did not expect that Shirai would invite outsiders to attend the meeting.

Shirai felt everyone's gaze, smiled, and then clapped his hands: "Let's welcome Congressman Narita Ribei to the scene!!"

Member of Parliament Rihei Narita? !

The senior bank executives present all knew the famous name of Congressman Narita.

Member of Parliament Narita, who was originally a technocrat, worked in the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Services Agency, where he was responsible for the research of laws and policies. Narita participated in the drafting of many of Japan's financial regulatory laws. After leaving the Ministry of Finance, Narita served as a consultant to many large financial institutions in Japan.

Later, Narita moved to several accounting firms and law firms as a special consultant.

After that, Narita returned to politics.

In the parliamentary election, he became a dark horse, winning votes in Tokyo's 7th district and was elected as a member of parliament. Narita has deep connections with regulatory agencies and many financial institutions.

Shirai was able to invite Narita to attend the meeting, which means that he can rely on Narita's network of connections to deal with the Financial Services Agency's inspection this time!!!

A man with slightly gray hair on his temples walked into the venue.

He was not tall, but he exuded a sense of majesty.

His expression looks a little old-fashioned, but not overly serious.

A wonderful feeling of both majesty and friendliness was conveyed.

Just like the kind of teacher who is good at making friends with students.

This man is Congressman Narita.

In an instant, everyone in the conference room, including Hanzawa, stood up.

Narita saw this and said, "Everyone. My duty as a member of the Diet is to listen to the voices of the people and convey the voices of the people to the public servants who serve us. This time, the Tokyo Central Bank encountered an on-site inspection by the Financial Services Agency, and I have heard about the relevant situation."

“I will also participate in this meeting. I will thoroughly understand the difficulties faced by the Bank of Tokyo and provide feedback.”

Narita's words fell.

Many directors from the original industry were greatly encouraged.

Shirai straightened his back a little more when listening to Narita's words. He wanted to tell everyone today that he was more suitable to be the president than Nakano. Nakano was unable to take any substantial measures when facing the inspection of the Financial Services Agency, but he was able to get members of Congress to mediate for him.

This is the difference!

"Mr. Congressman, please take a seat." Shirai said.

"No, I'll just sit next to you." Narita simply found a chair against the wall and sat down without sitting at the conference table.

Although the bank wanted Narita to sit at the conference table, Narita refused.

The congressman sat there plainly.

Knowing that a congressman would be attending today's meeting, many senior bank executives present were a little nervous. They all knew that -

The key today is this congressman.

Shirai sat at one end of the conference table. In the folder in front of him was today's meeting schedule and Hanzawa's personnel disciplinary action.

Yes, Hanzawa’s personnel sanctions had already been drafted in advance.

It is clearly written above.

That is--

Fire Banzawa directly.

It's not a demotion or a transfer.

But expulsion.

The acting governor wants everyone to understand what the consequences are for challenging his authority.

Since Banzawa is so keen on investigating the case, let him do it.

Hanzawa thought his investigation was thorough, but in fact it was just playing tricks in his own hands.

He thought he had found the Fubon property.

In fact, this was just a designed plan for him to find out.

Shirai chuckled inwardly.

Hanze's permissions have been suspended.

He hasn't been to the bank in the past two weeks.

What else could he find out?

It is nothing more than repeating that the 300 billion yuan of non-performing loans that were concealed were loans of Fudan Real Estate.

This would put Governor Nakano in a deadly position.

Yes, Hanzawa will become his own knife.

And, it can be thrown away after use.

Inside the conference room, two administrative staff members pushed and closed the heavy door of the conference room.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The secretary immediately announced, "Today's board meeting has two items on the agenda. The first item is to listen to the investigation report on the Yoshizawa Trust case by former Deputy Director of the Second Sales Department, Hanzawa Naoki, and his personnel decision. The second item is about the appointment of the President of the Tokyo Central Bank."

"Now, let's start the first item on the agenda."

"Please ask the former Deputy Director of the Second Sales Department to report the results of the investigation into the Yoshizawa Trust case to the board of directors."

In an instant, all eyes in the venue fell on Banze.

The pressure is coming towards Hanze.

Hanzawa didn't expect that there would be a member of Congress attending the meeting today.

He felt his heart beating faster in his chest.

This is nervous.

Hanze clenched his fists slightly to calm himself down.

At this moment, no one present might have thought that the banker was actually hoping that the lawyer would succeed.

Lawyer Kitahara, I really have to rely on you.

Hanzawa raised his head and slowly stood up from his seat.

He glanced at the bank executives in the meeting room.

Finally his eyes fell on Shirai.

The next second, Banze's voice sounded:

"I have to wait for someone to arrive before I can start my report."
