Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 821 Japanese Steel

"How can we catch people from other organizations?" Kitahara said, "Preachers like you, and Eto."

"I've said before. I'm not very clear about the identities of the other members of the organization." Eriko said, "But I know that Jiang Teng and another preacher of the organization are planning an event recently. Maybe you can find Jiang Teng and another member of the organization by following this event."

"What are they planning?!" Nishino immediately asked.

"The Nippon Steel bankruptcy case," Eriko replied, "That's all I know.

After hearing about the bankruptcy of Nippon Steel, the policemen in the room could not help but show their surprise. Most of these policemen were in their forties. They had experienced the rapid economic growth of the East Asia before. Nippon Steel was the symbol of that period of rapid development.

The full name of Nippon Steel is Shinichi Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It is the largest steel company in Japan. Its annual crude steel industry once ranked first in the world at its peak. Yes, a steel company in an oceanic island country could actually occupy the title of the world's largest steel industry at its peak. This is the biggest symbol of Japan's economic boom.

It is precisely because of this that the older police officers present have a special affection for Nippon Steel.

Therefore, when they heard that Nippon Steel had fallen into bankruptcy, they were stunned.

In fact, Nippon Steel has indeed been in danger in recent years.

The global steel production process has had a severe impact on steel prices.

At the same time, the real estate crisis that occurred in the West a few years ago further caused a downturn in the real estate industry worldwide.

Coupled with high labor costs, commodity prices remain high due to the impact of inflation.

All this has caused a sharp decline in the profits of steel companies.

In recent years, Nippon Steel has fallen into a precarious situation.

Although the company has received credit assistance from banks many times, its cash flow is drying up.

Recently, there have been frequent rumors that the company is about to enter bankruptcy proceedings.

But now, this matter has been told by Jiang Lizi.

Could it be that Nippon Steel is really going to go bankrupt? !

The police officers present could hardly believe the news.

"What does the organization want to do with the bankruptcy of Nippon Steel?" Kitahara asked further.

"I don't really know the details," Eriko said, "but maybe it has something to do with Terada, the Minister of General Affairs of the Cabinet."

"Is that the cabinet minister you leaked to the Asahi Shimbun?"

"Yes. Minister of General Affairs Terada has been the coordinator of the Nippon Steel project," Eriko said. "The United Alliance has always regarded the ability to save Nippon Steel as a potential economic achievement. I am afraid that in this case, the organization may also want to move out other scandals about Terada."

"Why did you target Terada?"

"I don't know. At this point, I'm just an executor," Eriko replied.

Kitahara started to feel a headache when he heard Eriko's answer. Steel has always been an asset-heavy enterprise. Companies like Nippon Steel often have a scale of tens of trillions of yen. At the same time, it will also affect the livelihoods of thousands of industrial workers. Just thinking about it, you can see how difficult and complicated the Nippon Steel case is.

What purpose does this organization want to achieve by using Nippon Steel?

"I saw it in the news before," Nishino said to Kitahara, "The cabinet held several emergency meetings to discuss how to save Nippon Steel."

For Toyo, Nippon Steel is not just a simple enterprise.

It is a spiritual symbol.

It symbolizes the former glory of the East. Moreover, if Nippon Steel really goes bankrupt and liquidates, not only will a large number of industrial workers be displaced, but even the pillar industry of steel will be completely handed over to foreigners.

It is precisely with this situation in mind that the current cabinet has held several meetings to discuss the situation of Nippon Steel.

But, after all, it is easier said than done.

If you can save a company just by holding meetings and saying a few meaningless words, then it would be too easy to accomplish anything in this world.

It is precisely because of this that even though the cabinet attached great importance to this, Nippon Steel still moved step by step to the brink of bankruptcy.

Kitahara was in the room thinking about the Nippon Steel bankruptcy case mentioned by Eriko.

They certainly did not have any internal information about Nippon Steel.

However, in all likelihood, the outlook for this enterprise must be very pessimistic.

If the operation to save Nippon Steel fails, it will undoubtedly cause huge waves in the economic industry of Japan.

Kitahara remembered the meaning of purification that Eriko mentioned.

Could it be that the bankruptcy of Nippon Steel is related to the third level of purification of this organization?

Kitahara couldn't guess for a moment what this organization was going to do with the Nippon Steel bankruptcy.

However, behind a company like Nippon Steel, there are bound to be a lot of conflicts of interest, and it is unknown how many people's cake is involved.

When investigating such cases, one doesn't even know where to start.

"I've said so much to you." Eriko said, "You should give me something back. I want to sleep. I'm really tired."

Eriko's face revealed a tired look.

Kitahara stood up and ignored Eriko's request. He turned and walked out of the interrogation room. He needed to digest the information Eriko had given him today. He needed some time to be alone and think.

Behind him, the voice of Inspector Nishino was heard.

"Next, you have to explain everything about Kyoto to us!"

"I don't know what happened in Kyoto, that was all done by Eto!"

"You must know something, tell me!!"

"Ah!!! Ah!!!" Eriko's painful cries were heard from the interrogation room.

The tragic Shinkansen incident in Kyoto is a nightmare that the police officers present cannot shake off.

Therefore, they unceremoniously used all kinds of unconventional methods on Jiang Lizi.

Even if it's just a little bit of information, you have to tell it out!

"You guys have absolutely no credibility!" Eriko shouted at the lawyer's back, "You are a bunch of demons! You are the ones who should be purified! You are a bunch of evildoers who dare to abuse lynching in the detention center! You will be punished!"

Hearing Eriko's words, Kitahara turned around and looked at the woman: "This is not a detention center. So, please rest assured and take a rest here."

No... not a detention center?! Eriko was stunned for a moment, then revealed a horrified expression.

The door to the interrogation room closed.

"No! No!!" Eriko's voice came from inside.
