Chapter 314: Killing three Sumitomo executives

Addition and subtraction are done well.

But it was obvious that he didn't understand the multiplication formulas at all.

and so.

Kimura Yasushi and his colleagues at the District Prosecutors Office were all lost in deep thought.

Why would such an old lady who can't even do arithmetic be so popular with financial companies?

Anyone with a little common sense could immediately see the flaw, but in the eyes of those guys who were more cunning than ghosts, the emperor's "new clothes" could always be worn by Ooue.

Things get interesting.

When the news broke, everyone was talking about how an old lady had borrowed 2.7 trillion from the bank.

Kyoto.

It's called the lounge of the Bunsenho branch.

A group of cadres sat together and discussed the hottest topics of the moment.

"It was a bull market at that time, so this old woman took advantage of the opportunity to successfully play tricks, right?"

“The question is, even so, why did the bank lend him so much money?”

"Isn't the answer obvious? The year before last, I could easily earn several times the money by managing my finances. The normal interest rate would become less normal at the end. It's entirely possible to get a higher interest rate. Where can I find such a good customer?"

This reason seems very reasonable.

Bank.

The pursuit of interest income is the largest business area.

In order to attract clients, even sacrificing one's looks is common. When meeting such a wealthy sponsor who knows how to make money, of course one would give her as much money as possible.

And the banking industry often does this, just like what Nao Nagano himself experienced. He mortgaged his property in Tokyo and easily borrowed more than 10 billion.

The bank was practically begging for money, and they would kneel down if they didn't want it.

But this happened because real estate was indeed hard currency at the time and funds were within a controllable range.

And what does 2.7 trillion mean?

A total of 23 billion US dollars!

Buffett is worth only $1 billion.

Not long ago, the purchase price between a Japanese company and the Empire State Building was one billion US dollars.

Sony only spent 5 billion dollars to buy Columbia Pictures.

Even the market value of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is only 20 billion US dollars.

With this thought in mind, Nagano laughed and said, "A proprietress of two restaurants borrowed more than 20 billion US dollars. Does she really think those guys in the bank are idiots?"

"Ah, is there any other reason behind this?" a young man asked in disbelief.

It would be weird if something like this suddenly happened without any reason.

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, and the country's fortune has reached its peak. Today, when the bubble has burst and it is about to go downhill, all kinds of struggles, demons and monsters are bound to jump out.

He was originally one of the great demons that entered hell.

Anyone can guess that with such a horrible amount of funds, the sudden exposure of this matter must involve struggles among major financial groups and various levels of the cabinet.

But it's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing.

Maintaining the pretentiousness of a superior, Nagano Nao said casually: "Those guys in the bank are all very cunning. Two trillion and seven hundred billion in funds are enough to flatten this building. How could there be no other reasons? Shimizu-kun, you are a local, you should know the problem here!"

“This...this....” Minister Teruhiko Shimizu had been silent until he was suddenly called by Nagano Nao. His back went numb, cold sweat broke out, and his face suddenly became unnatural.

Suddenly asking such a question at a time like this, does the lord have any specific meaning?

Look at Nagano Nao's expression again.

Under his calm expression, there seemed to be a deep murderous intent. Thinking about this guy's past, he would kill people and burn things every time he came to power, he felt that the secret in his heart had been completely seen through.

Just then.

A minister received a call and needed to deal with something.

Soon, Nagano Nao and Shimizu Teruhiko were the only ones left in the rest room.

thump.

No sign.

Shimizu Teruhiko suddenly knelt on the ground, and with tears in his eyes, he said with regret and self-blame: "Sir, I'm sorry! This happened because of... because of that guy Tsuchiya..."

"..."

Nagano Naoto was dumbfounded.

I just wanted to show off, but I never expected this to happen.

"So...you, a bastard, are also involved in this Onoue thing?"

"I'm sorry! It's all because of that bastard Tsuchiya..."

"asshole!"

Snapped.

A slap came hard in the face.

Shimizu Teruhiko's face felt hot when he realized that the boss was angry, so he quickly moved his face closer and yelled loudly.

clap clap clap!

A few more slaps came over.

Although his face was burning, Teruhiko Shimizu couldn't help feeling excited.

Able to take a beating.

This shows that adults still value me!

It has to be said that none of the guys who can climb to the position of minister are easy to deal with. They are very good at trying to figure out the intentions of their superiors, winning over their subordinates, and playing all kinds of tricks.

Nagano Nao had just arrived in Kyoto and had no time to reshuffle his power. If he wanted to secure his position, winning over people was a necessary measure.

Now, someone has handed the evidence to me, so of course I can only try my best to protect it.

So that’s kind of fucked up.

It's obvious that I didn't get any benefits, but I still have to help that bastard Tsuchiya. There is nothing more disgusting than this.

But unfortunately, once this bastard in front of him knelt down, he had no choice but to bear the consequences.

My palms hurt again.

Vented out the frustration in my heart.

Nagano grabbed a tissue, wiped his hands, and asked unhappily, "Do you want me to ask again?"

"It's because of the relationship with Yamaguchi Bank... so... and Onoue is old... so trustworthy..."

"..."

There is nothing new under the sun.

The magical story behind it makes people feel particularly powerless to complain.

Because of the bet agreement with Goldman Sachs, when things went wrong, the banking industry deliberately lent money to Onoue to let her take over the market's selling in order to bear the long risks of their holdings and force Goldman Sachs to close its positions.

The worst thing is that the Ministry of Finance has tacitly approved this matter.

Because the day after the global stock market crash in 87, the Ministry of Finance summoned the "Big Four" securities firms - Nomura, Yamato, Yamaichi and Nikko, and asked them to create the illusion that certain stocks were hot, and at the same time asked the Nikkei index to stay above 2 points.

The result was that Japan turned the tide, single-handedly pushing up all global stock markets and restabilizing the economic order.

As a result, it seems that controlling the stock market is easier than controlling foreign exchange.

So 2.7 trillion yuan, an unimaginable number, entered the account of an old lady who couldn't even do multiplication tables.

An old lady in her sixties.

Even if the truth comes to light, what can we do?

It’s just that the situation has changed. The central bank is digging a hole behind the scenes and it failed to control it this time.

And the other side.

The investigation into Onoue is still ongoing.

“How did you make your first pot of gold?”

Hearing the prosecutor's question, Onoue began to talk nonstop.

"When I was young, I knew the younger brother of the boss of a real estate development company. We had a good relationship, and I asked him for some money, probably 35 billion yen in total."

Three and a half billion?

According to Onoue's age, when she was young, she was a college student working in a large company and her monthly salary was only a few thousand yen.

Asked which bank it was.

Onoue said in bewilderment, "My brother drove the cash directly to me. I didn't have my own bar at that time, and I had no money, but with this money I could build my own bar. If a person with no money suddenly builds a bar, the tax department will definitely come to check the accounts. I deliberately went to the bank to borrow a loan with a higher interest rate, and then repaid the loan bit by bit, but I still couldn't spend all the money."

Around the 60th year, 35 billion yen flowed in all at once. Calculated based on the rate of currency over-issuance, this is roughly equivalent to hundreds of billions of yen today.

At that time, Onoue was very popular and knew how to keep "client" secrets and not cause trouble for the bank. She was a very good bar owner and an exceptionally good and trustworthy bank customer.

This is where things get interesting.

And obviously, her younger brother, or lover, is the key person.

"I carved dozens of personal seals and deposited the money bit by bit in many banks."

"My brother always brought me a bundle of money wrapped in a bed sheet. My drawers and closets were full, but he still gave me money. It was difficult to deposit it in the bank. I counted the money until dark every day. The money became a pile of paper. Although it couldn't be used as toilet paper, it was much more than toilet paper."
