Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 924 That Gentleman
While Kitahara is tracking down Eto's capital flow...

……

2:32 p.m., at a club near the National Assembly Building.

Kurosawa, the secretary of the National Assembly, took the materials of the bankruptcy case of Nippon Steel and went to the room of "that gentleman" to report. The changes in the Nippon Steel case caught many of the organization's officers by surprise. The original acquisition of Nippon Steel's mines could no longer be carried out. It was expected that in one or two months, the news that these mines contained rare earths would be no longer concealed and would be spread.

Kurosawa looked at the materials in his hand.

From this Nippon Steel case, he has noticed the lawyer named Kitahara.

If it weren't for lawyer Kitahara, the Nippon Steel case would never have taken such a turn.

He specifically looked at Kitahara's resume.

He was shocked by the lawyer's resume.

It's only been two or three years since I graduated from college.

How could such a young man cause such a big storm? !

Kurosawa was also a young man. He immediately became interested. This congressional secretary was once a child prodigy. His intelligence test score was over 140. He was an absolute super-high IQ. When he was an undergraduate, Kurosawa enrolled in Cambridge University in England, obtained a double degree in engineering and philosophy, and completed a master's degree in his last year of university.

It can be said that Kurosawa is a genius who is almost universal and knowledgeable in all different fields.

It is this intelligence and sharpness that makes him so successful in his work in Congress.

Now, when Kurosawa saw that there was actually someone of the same age as him, he couldn't help but get excited to try.

Kurosawa knocked on the door of the room.

After getting consent from the person in the room, Kurosawa carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

The gentleman was sitting at his desk. As usual, he was concentrating on his own interests. Last time, he was reading Euclid's Elements. Now, he was reading Leo Strauss's Persecution and the Art of Writing. The congressman rarely read books of this kind, but Strauss was an exception.

"Mr. Congressman," Kurosawa said, "I'm sure you know that the restructuring plan for the Nippon Steel case has been frustrated. The plan to acquire Nippon Steel Minerals is probably..."

Kurosawa's words fell.

The gentleman seemed unmoved and continued to read the book attentively.

"Should we do something to deal with the current situation?" Kurosawa asked tentatively.

The gentleman seemed to be immersed in the world of the book, and only reluctantly left the book after Kurosawa's repeated urging. He raised his head and stared at Kurosawa with extremely sharp eyes.

"Do you think this is a bad thing?" The gentleman sneered. "If you can't buy the minerals, you can't buy them. However, the failure of the Nippon Steel restructuring has dealt a huge blow to the reputation of Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Terada. It could have been a project for him to boast about his achievements, but it became a fatal blow."

"Terada should be finished." The gentleman laughed again, "I guess the top leaders of the Unity Alliance will cut him off soon."

"Kurosawa," the gentleman continued, "the congressional re-election in April is our top priority right now. All our actions must be centered around this matter."

"I understand." Kurosawa nodded humbly, "But - we have been planning this for so long, but now we have to watch these minerals fall into the hands of others. This is really..."

"Have you ever heard of a proverb from the East?" "Please tell me."

"Translated into Japanese, it means everything in the world is a blessing in disguise." The gentleman slowly stood up from his desk. "Good things are not necessarily bad things. Bad things, in the end, are not necessarily good things."

"On the surface, it seems that we have lost rare earth minerals overseas, which is a bad thing, but don't forget that the United States has been frequently imposing tariffs on overseas trade since this year, and has imposed export control measures on semiconductor equipment, etc."

"Under this situation, if a huge rare earth deposit is really discovered somewhere, do you think it will eventually belong to us?" the gentleman said, "Under the current situation, these deposits will not be wealth, but only hot potatoes. They will only become a must-fight for ignorant leaders trying to compete for hegemony."

"You have to remember - Kurosawa. Our ultimate goal is -"

"Purify the world."

The gentleman said this in the room.

Kurosawa nodded again.

"But..." Kurosawa suggested, "I think we may need to pay attention to a lawyer named Kitahara. This is my negligence, I'm very sorry, but we should have paid attention to it a long time ago. This lawyer Kitahara was also active in the Nippon Steel case and was a key figure in thwarting Nippon Steel's restructuring plan."

"We have carefully checked the lawyer's record. It turns out that he is also the lawyer for the Kawamoto Kokusho case, the Shogun Hotel case, and the Kyoto University case!!"

Kurosawa reported these cases in succession.

These cases are actually related to the organization's plans.

Kawamoto Expressway is actually one of the organization's sources of funds.

Because Kawamoto Expressway was hit hard by a class-action lawsuit over highway spillage, it was removed from the list of companies receiving funding under the National Infrastructure Grants Act.

To the point that organizations have to look for other infrastructure builders.

In addition, the General Hotel case must have also hit the organization's channels for remitting foreign exchange out of Japan.

Not to mention the Kyoto University series of cases——

This directly exposed a series of national scandals, including the industrial research company and Ohgawara's patent plagiarism.

"He's a lawyer at Eto Law Firm," Kurosawa said. "After Eto pinned the 500 million yen debt on him, he seemed to have been investigating the case relentlessly. To be honest, I was shocked to see that he had represented so many cases. He has only graduated from college a few years ago, but his abilities are beyond our imagination."

"The same is true for the Nippon Steel case this time. Under the promotion of Attorney Kitahara, the Tokyo High Court set the fastest judgment speed for a bankruptcy case."

"I'm afraid we need to pay attention to how far this person goes in pursuing the organization."

The gentleman looked up.

Perhaps this matter was beyond his expectations to some extent.

So much so that he paused slightly for a brief moment.

"Beiyuan." The gentleman said the name, "He seems to be an interesting young man."
