In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

A wine bottle suddenly exploded.

"Asshole! Are you looking for death?"

"Bakayalou, you're dead, kid!"

The leader, who had just said the harsh words, was already dizzy with his hands covering his head. When his subordinates saw that their boss had been shot in the head, they immediately started to attack with ferocious looks.

But suddenly a dozen people rushed over from behind.

Okamoto Kozhi took the lead, grabbed one of the guys by the neck, like a chicken, and slapped him twice.

"Baga! Are you talking to Lord Nagano?"

"Ah! Okamoto Wakashira! I'm sorry! We didn't know he was your friend!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Several slaps came over.

"are you a pig?"

"Hayi!"

"Idiot, apologize to Lord Nagano right now!"

"Hayi!"

"..."

The three punks were in a mess.

Okamoto Kozhi didn't dare to disturb Nagano Nao's interest. He just bowed and took his people to the side.

Kurihara Kazuko felt very bored and pouted, saying, "Damn it! I didn't even give Violent Dragon a chance to show off your power. It's not fun at all!"

"Why is a girl so violent? Why don't you behave yourself?"

"But Violent Dragon, don't you like Kazuko like this?"

"Makes sense."

Just then, a guy in police uniform walked in.

Seeing him, Nagano Nao asked Okamoto Kozhi to arrange a room for him and then greeted him.

Sato Takeru glanced at Kurihara Kazuko, then said with a sly smile: "You are such a good guy, straight man, you even slept with the top actress of Kobe TV station!"

"Compared to Sato-kun who even slept with his own high school teacher, he still seems pretty bad!"

"That's true. The burning bloodline of the Sato family is still being continued in her!"

"No!"

"What's that expression on your face? You're acting like a gentleman. Do you think I don't know about your relationship with Mrs. Nagano?"

"..."

Chapter 313 The magical world is always full of surprises

Compared to the top clubs in Ginza.

The environment of Okamoto, a disco and bar-in-one entertainment venue, is much worse.

Even the etiquette lady who led the way was scantily clad, and large patches of white fat could be seen. Although she spoke very politely, she could not hide her worldly air, which wasted her good figure and appearance.

However, Kenichi Sato didn't show any disgust at all. He turned into an aisle, went up to the etiquette lady, hugged her and started touching her randomly.

Naoo Nagano greeted Kazuko Kurihara and followed them to the top bathing center.

The lights gradually brightened and the noisy heavy metal rock music became inaudible.

I took off my clothes with the help of several plump women, and when I opened the door, I saw a large bathtub with a layer of steam.

Step into the pool.

Feeling the hot water surrounding my skin little by little, the scorching temperature quickly makes my blood flow faster.

Just then, a beautiful woman came over barefoot, holding a fruit plate and taking small steps.

Nagano Nao naturally lay down, picked up a piece of watermelon with a toothpick, and let the woman do it repeatedly on his back.

After a while.

Kenichi Sato came over and jumped into the pool.

Nagano Nao waved his hand and the woman who was rubbing his back left.

Sato Takeru forked a piece of fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and asked curiously: "How did you train that bastard Okamoto? Now his mouth is more strict than that of a dead soldier."

"Are you talking about what happened last time?"

"Yes! He was interrogated by Section 3 and Section 4 for 48 hours straight without sleep, but he didn't say a single word. Even I was a little surprised!"

Speaking of this matter.

Nagano Nao was actually very satisfied.

The fourth lesson is a class specifically for dealing with violent gangs. As the Yakuza are at the bottom of society, the strategy team will not use the conventional methods seen on TV.

Especially when it comes to a case of this level, all kinds of insidious tactics to force the emperor to abdicate will be used, and unique means will be used.

However, Okamoto Kozhi did not utter any useful information from beginning to end.

Bravery and loyalty, and indeed a bit of the determination of a soldier to die.

"Nothing much. I used some connections to send his child to Keio Middle School."

If you can get into a school like Keio University, as long as you follow the procedures, you can go to college without taking an exam after high school.

For the Yakuza who are struggling at the bottom of society, this is no less than a complete turnaround and a sudden rise to fame.

Sato Takeru groaned, and with a strange look in his eyes, he said, "No wonder this guy is so loyal to you now, that's why! But now the promotion of the anti-gang law is imperative, especially in the case of Ito Man, even Sumitomo will be suppressed. You should be careful if you get too close to these Yakuza trash."

"The business dealings between the company and Inagawa Consumer Finance are for the sake of this country, even if there are some doubts, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Nagano Naoio said this with a righteous look on his face, looking like a gentleman all the time.

Sato Kenichi secretly watched his eyes, unable to confirm the guess in his heart, and could only say: "He is indeed a peerless fierce dragon as excellent and upright as me. Only guys like us who are so shameless can say such high-sounding words!"

"Same here, same here!" Nagano Nao said, lighting a cigarette, blowing out a smoke ring and asking, "Nothing has been found out about this matter, right?"

"You are right. Although everyone knows that someone at Sumitomo Bank must know where the funds went, there is no evidence to prove anything."

"Even if this is enough, money is the blood of a company. Sumitomo Real Estate, Sumitomo Construction and Osaka Sumitomo Cement have all encountered considerable trouble. Under such circumstances, at least Sumitomo Bank will find it difficult to help Sumitomo Chemical."

Money is the blood of a company - this statement seems plausible and understandable.

In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how the blood flows because it is difficult to visualize.

For example, one of the common reasons given by a company with a market value of tens of billions when applying for financing from a bank is "insufficient tax funds, so I am applying for a loan."

The so-called "tax funds" are funds used to pay corporate income tax.

This is a very interesting and common phenomenon.

It is obvious that income tax must be paid only when there is income from business, and the tax cannot be higher than the income, but why do companies still have to borrow money from banks to pay taxes?

baffling.

In fact, it is usually because companies invest all the money they earn into the next production operation, and once they need to pay taxes, the cash on hand is almost exhausted.

This will result in a situation where you cannot pay taxes without a loan.

Through such a mechanism, can we explain how the blood of "money" circulates?

However, in reality, the circulation process of money in an enterprise is not so simple to explain, not only to laymen, but even to professionals such as bank employees.

Sometimes I have to stare at the numbers in the accounts for several hours before I can figure them out - that's when inspiration strikes and I'm lucky - and sometimes I just can't figure it out for who knows how long.

But one thing is certain: when a company suffers a sudden loss on its current account and its cash flow is interrupted, it can pose a fatal threat.

Therefore, in commercial mergers and acquisitions, phenomena often occur that ordinary people cannot understand.

A company with assets worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions was acquired for one dollar or far less than the asset price.

The reason for this phenomenon is actually the last straw that broke the camel's back - shortage of cash flow.

There are countless cases like this in the history of Japanese business. The most typical one is that Maruzen Oil, a subsidiary of the Sanwa Group, almost bankrupted the group twice.

It seemed that the loss was only 100 billion yen, but in the end Sanhe was so overwhelmed that it had to send presidents of other companies to deal with it. It took several years to solve the problem.

When liabilities exceed net assets and the choice is between survival and bankruptcy, if there is no injection of new blood, the company can only choose to be merged or acquired.

Now, affected by the central bank's interest rate policy and the suspension of real estate loans, many companies under the Sumitomo Group have encountered problems.

The core of the bank acted as a firefighter, putting out the fire everywhere, but since their own yard was also on fire, they probably could not take care of Sumitomo Chemical.

However, Sumitomo Chemical has to handle $12 billion worth of oil every month.

It is impossible to digest this batch of resources in a short period of time. Even if they are sold in the forward market to hedge market risks, there will still be a considerable loss every month.

No matter how wealthy or powerful one is, no one can withstand such long-term losses.

Sato Kenichi thought about it for a while, and when he got a glimpse of what Nagano Nao meant, he immediately became excited: "In this case, isn't it very likely that Sumitomo Chemical will violate the long-term purchase agreement?"

"Mr. Sato, you don't think my target is Sumitomo Chemical, do you?" Nagano Nao lit a cigarette and said with interest.

"Is not it?"

"Sato, you need to take a long-term view. With Sumitomo's strength, it will be difficult to cause any harm to them even if they encounter so many troubles.

Therefore, our target has never been Sumitomo Chemical.

Besides, do you think Sumitomo didn’t know how to launch a counterattack at this time? "

"..."

The road to economic rise has never been smooth. It is often accompanied by fierce competition and struggle, which is no less brutal than fighting in war.

Therefore, even though Japan's major conglomerates appear to be very united in the eyes of outsiders, the struggles between conglomerates still run through Japan's modern business history.

The national policy of building a country based on trade and manufacturing is also reflected in the competition for "commercial rights" in the actual implementation process.

The specific manifestation of this struggle for "commercial rights" is to not miss any link in the entire industrial chain from upstream resources to downstream markets.
