Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 856 The Beginning

Workshop contractor? Nagai leaned back in his office chair and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he remembered that it was an external company that contracted some production lines of Nippon Steel Engineering. In the beginning, this contracting system was also thought up by Nagai.

Those are claims of small businesses.

Compared with current bank financing, it is a trivial matter.

At this critical juncture, there is no time to deal with people like this.

"Go away! Why bother me with such a small matter?" Nagai waved his hand hastily. "You can handle these small businesses on your own. If they refuse to leave, just close the door or call the security guard to kick them out. Do I need to call you for such a simple matter?!"

"Yes, Director Nagai." The subordinate bowed immediately.

But then, his face showed some hesitation.

He did not retreat immediately, but did as Nagai instructed.

Nagai seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so he spoke:

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to do it right away?"

"It's like this, Director Nagai." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out, "There are about a hundred workshop contractors outside the Nippon Steel headquarters building. And the debt documents they submitted show that the amount owed to them by Nippon Steel has reached 1600 billion yen."

When Nagai heard the number 1600 billion yen, he took a sip of coffee and almost spit it out.

"Ridiculous! You are in the Finance Department after all! How could the amount of money that Nippon Steel has to settle with these contractors be so high?! These are all small companies. No matter how much they are added up, it is impossible to reach the scale of 1600 billion yen! You are still working under me! This is a typical case of asking for too much!"

"Director Nagai, the other party...the other party has hired a lawyer." The subordinate continued to report.

Lawyer? Nagai frowned.

The busier you are, the more likely these things will disrupt your rhythm.

The fact that the other party had hired a lawyer did make Nagai a little worried.

After all, if the other party's lawyers act recklessly and use public opinion to exaggerate Nippon Steel's financial difficulties, it will be another big trouble.

"Director Nagai, has something happened?" A strong male voice sounded.

But I saw a middle-aged man in a high-end suit standing next to me. The aura of this middle-aged man was extremely oppressive, especially his eyes, which were extremely powerful. This aura was different from the more easy-going and soft temperament in the business world. Just from his temperament, I knew that this middle-aged man was not an insider of the company.

他是森滨田松本法律事务所的律师谷本泰三。森滨田松本法律事务所，可谓是东洋顶尖的、超一流律师事务所。所谓的1000米-500米-200米俱乐部中，森滨田松本法律事务所就属于这200米俱乐部。其办公场所距离皇居的直线距离在200米之内。

It can be said that it is truly a top existence.

Yasuzo Tanimoto has been practicing law for nearly thirty years.

He is an expert in financing and bankruptcy business.

I have handled countless large-scale financing projects and bankruptcy plans for the Japanese industry.

From the beginning of his legal career to the present, he has completely experienced the ups and downs of the Oriental economy.

"Lawyer Tanimoto." When Nagai saw it was him, he couldn't help but stand up from his office chair.

Tanimoto was the lawyer chosen by Cabinet Minister Terada for Nippon Steel.

The main purpose is to enable Nippon Steel to successfully complete its financing plan and overcome difficulties.

Think about it, how many lawyers can be trusted like this by a cabinet minister?

"The workshop contractors, you can also think of them as a special group of our suppliers who are collecting debts from us," Nagai said. "They are quite a large group of people, more than a hundred contractors, and they have also hired lawyers. It seems that they are going to take action against Nippon Steel."

“What is the total amount of the debt?”

"1600 billion yen, but that's the amount they claimed. The actual debts of these small contractors can't be that much. The maximum is 200 billion to 300 billion yen."

Tanimoto is a cautious lawyer.

This time, it was he who provided security for Nippon Steel's financing plan.

As the legal person in charge of the entire financing plan, he must ensure that the project is foolproof and goes smoothly. Tanimoto is well aware of the significance of this project for Toyo.

"These small creditors may have heard the news," Tanimoto said. "They are probably afraid that Nippon Steel's assets will be mortgaged to the bank and they will get nothing in the end."

"Although this is a small matter, it is safer to deal with it properly, especially for enterprises at this juncture. I will go down to meet them." Tanimoto said.

"Let me come and take a look too." Nagai also decided to go down.

After all, the scene of more than a hundred people gathering together is not a good sight.

Don’t handle it badly, or it will become a public opinion incident.

There has been a lot of turmoil at Nippon Steel's headquarters recently.

Previously, the trade union brought hundreds of people to block the road.

Now the workshop contractor has brought hundreds of people to block the way.

There really wasn't a single day where I could relax!

Soon, they walked out of the busy office area and pressed the elevator button.

Come to the first floor.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw administrative staff running around busily on the first floor, with panic expressions on their faces.

I guess these administrative staff were frightened by the sight of more than a hundred workshop contractors.

As they continued walking into the hall, they saw a huge crowd of people, just like the one that the union gathered that day.

The only difference is——

Right in front of the group of people stood a man in a grey suit.

Tanimoto recognized the man at a glance and found that he was also his colleague.

The gray suit also had a Libra sunflower seal on it.

When he got closer, Tanimoto discovered that the lawyer standing in front of the crowd looked very young.

It's like I just graduated from college.

This situation is actually quite different from what Tanimoto had imagined.

Tanimoto also thought that these contractors would find a shrewd looking lawyer to threaten Nippon Steel with some unconventional tactics.

Seeing that his opponent was such a young man, Tanimoto relaxed a little.

However, he did not relax.
