Under a bank building.

Countless people gathered together and formed a circle, pointing and talking in the center of the crowd.

A middle-aged man in his forties was lying on the ground, with blood foam coming out of his mouth and his eyes were dull. It seemed that he was breathing in more than out, and there was no way he could be saved.

"What happened?"

"Why would you do something that would hurt yourself?!"

"It is said that it is because he bought a house in Shinjuku a while ago for 1.4 million yen and has been paying off the loan for three years. Now the bank loan is higher than the house price."

"I knew that the price of houses would fall. Would I be stupid to buy a house at such a high price?"

"Then there's no need to commit suicide! Don't you consider your duty?"

"The problem is that not long ago, he used this house as collateral to buy another house, so."

"Ah! It's this bastard who speculates in real estate. Then let him die!"

"He doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. If it wasn't for greed, how could he have ended up like this?"

"That's too much! It's not them who pushed up the housing prices. They are victims after all. The real bastards are real estate developers like Seibu Group. They deserve to die!"

"Where do the real estate developers get their land from? Where does the money for the house price increase come from? If it weren't for the support of the Ministry of Finance, how could this happen?"

“.”

Everyone was talking about it.

As the ambulance came rumbling in, the guy who jumped from the building had already become a corpse.

I don’t know who exclaimed again, and when everyone looked up, they found that there was another person standing upstairs.

"Ah! It's Section Chief Yamaki!!"

"You know him?"

And at this time.

The edge of the rooftop.

Shanmu's face was expressionless, his eyes were dull, and his tie, which was always neat, became crooked.

It took me ten years to finally become successful. I thought I would be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of my life thanks to my work and the properties I owned. However, I never expected the world to change so quickly and I lost everything overnight.

Flutter flutter!

Quick footsteps were heard from behind.

Looking back, I saw that it was the junior I had taught, a very outstanding young man.

"Senior Section Chief, please don't do anything to hurt yourself! No matter what happens, it will pass."

"I can't go on like this! I've already lost a lot of money in the stock market, and now the price of real estate has dropped so much, the bank won't let me go."

"But, Master Shanmu, didn't you say that we must have the courage to face any difficulty?"

As the young man spoke, tears already flowed from his eyes.

Yamaki smiled bitterly: "But, in addition to courage, life also requires responsibility! If the bank confiscates the property, I can't let my wife and children live in the park with me! So, please leave these to my wife, Naoto."

A few insurance policies were handed over.

Seeing this, the young people who had just entered society burst into tears and nodded vigorously.

Yamaki smoked a cigarette and finally looked at the crowd below: "Naoto, please remember this moment. Never invest in things that exceed your ability. Whether it is overdraft consumption or leveraged investment, this kind of thing must be banned forever."

"Ha Yi!"

“.”

A successful person in the financial circle jumped down from a building.

If it weren't for the overdrawn potential and the added leverage, things might have turned out completely differently.

But in such cases, the news only mentioned that a president of Tokyo Bank committed suicide, but no one mentioned that such a result was caused by overspending and leveraged investment in real estate.

Night falls.

As usual, Tokyo was lit up with bright lights.

People going in and out of various entertainment venues are still waving money in their hands, getting drunk and having fun under the bright lights.

People are still queuing up to buy the gold-plated sushi on the street, and countless young girls are enjoying the joy of breathing oxygen in the oxygen bar facing the window.

The advertising lights around are still flashing colorfully.

Some people were singing karaoke, some were dancing discotheques, drunk men were hugging hostesses, waving money to hail taxis, and everywhere was still filled with decadence and luxury and a bubble.

This scene.

Nagano Nao shook his head secretly.

The glory is gone, and such prosperity will only become dimmer and dimmer.

Next, the new generation of young people will become the well-known Heisei otaku! Arriving at the Sumitomo Chemical Building.

There were lights on upstairs.

Apparently he hasn't gotten off work yet.

Looking at the bright white lights on the top floor, Nagano Nao lit a cigarette in the car and smiled sarcasticly.

The Special Investigation Department suddenly took action against him. Under the appearance of justice, he had already felt the invisible undercurrent.

Speaking of which, this group of people are not only dealing with themselves, but Kaibe Oko is just being used as a gun.

justice?

Whether it is the verbal sparring among central banks or the high-sounding issue of national survival, it is just a coincidence.

It's just that it resulted in a just outcome.

To be honest, the people I'm on are the real bastards!

After taking three puffs of his cigarette, Nagano Nao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, straightened his neat suit, and stepped onto the stairs of Sumitomo Chemical.

Some secretaries are still working overtime at the front desk.

The office is very quiet, so quiet that it feels depressing.

After the notification, Nagano Nao was taken to the reception room, where he looked coldly at the office that looked like it could explode at any time.

And the other side.

Guangmo Xiaoye was busy sorting out the project documents he had to deal with.

Due to the group's strategic relationship, Sumitomo Chemical also has multiple investment projects involving real estate. Although it is not as fully focused on the real estate industry as Sumitomo Bus & Co., Ltd., the investment amount is still an astronomical figure.

Now, a policy of the central bank has caused a complete collapse of the real estate market, and Sumitomo Chemical's capital chain has suddenly collapsed to the limit.

The purchase agreement with Oman Oil Company has passed the delivery and redemption date.

The company currently has no way of coming up with such a large sum of money.

But the cost of default is too high, US$10 billion, which is the current net assets of Sumitomo Chemical.

If he really took out so much money, he would be killed tomorrow.

Bang bang.

The secretary knocked at the door.

Upon receiving the news that Nagano Nao was coming, Guangmo Ono's face twitched and he looked extremely ferocious.

The counterattack came so quickly and so fiercely that it not only exceeded the expectations of ordinary people, but even Sumitomo was caught off guard.

And today, he was scolded by Akiyama Nakatomi at the consortium meeting and lost face.

He comes again at this time, he must be trying to show off and make a fool of himself!

Damn it!

If this guy didn't have the upper hand, the Special Investigation Department would definitely be able to kill him!

Damn it! The debt collectors are here, there is no way to hide.

Calm down.

Guangmo Xiaoye forced a smile and came to the reception room.

Nagano Nao stood up and said straight to the point: "Good evening, Guangmo-kun. I'm really sorry to bother you at this time. Please forgive me. It's just that my friend's company is having some financial difficulties, so... Sumitomo..."

"This." Guangmo Xiaoye looked embarrassed and wanted to find a reason to delay.

Nagano Nao said with great concern: "Guangmo-kun is in such a difficult situation, could it be that Sumitomo is having some financial difficulties?"

Guangmo Xiaoye's eyes narrowed, and murderous intent emerged in his heart.

This question is too insidious.

No company should ever admit that it has financial problems, because once it does, the cooperating bank will take risk control measures to control the risks.

If things turn out like this, even a small difficulty will eventually turn into a bankruptcy crisis.

"How could this be possible? I just heard that Nagano-kun was investigated by the Special Investigation Department some time ago, and I have been worried!"

Threatening me?

Nagano Nao secretly sneered, but with a look of emotion on his face, he said: "Thank you Guangmo-kun for your concern, it's just a small matter. But since Sumitomo has no financial problems, I can rest assured. But if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Nagano-kun, you're worrying too much. It's just a small matter. How could it trouble Sumitomo?"

"That's good! In that case, I won't bother you any more."

Damn it!

Do you think this will put pressure on Sumitomo? In the face of absolute strength, what use are any conspiracies and tricks!

Looking at Nagano Nao's receding back.

Guangmo Xiaoye clenched his fists, feeling that he had lost all face today.

Sensing the hostile gaze behind him, Nagano Nao sneered.

He knew Sumitomo's current financial situation, and its biggest reliance was the formidable strength of Sumitomo Bank.

But if there is a problem at Sumitomo Bank, who can save Sumitomo Chemical at this time?

You used your connections in the Special Investigation Department to embarrass me. In front of a truly strong person, please enjoy the tit-for-tat revenge from a straight man! Back to Kyoto.

Nao Nagano went straight to find Sakurako Ikeda.

I am not good at power struggles, but this woman will never let me down.

really.

A stack of information has been prepared long ago.

Nagano Nao took it and flipped through it with anticipation.

content.

I totally don't understand.

It is a document about Itoman Trading Company.

Confused, Nagano asked, "What does it have to do with Ito Man?"

"Ito Man's main cooperative bank in recent years is Sumitomo Bank. As far as I know, in just one year, Ito Man borrowed more than 500 billion from Sumitomo. What consequences would it bring if Ito Man was involved in huge organized crime, corruption, and money laundering?"

As Ikeda Sakurako said this, she sat over, stretched out her delicate hands, and played with the object in her hands with great interest.

Nagano Nao was speechless: "Can you please stop testing my endurance with this kind of thing? What's the point of playing like this?"

"You don't understand this. Just like you can shape a woman's character at will, I can do whatever I want with her. This is the joy of conquest."

"I'll fight you!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Do you also know that it's actually very unpleasant when you are being shaped by others?"

"I will definitely make you into a maid who will kneel down and lick me every day!"

"I'm waiting!"

“.”

the next day.

A piece of news appeared on the front page of Asahi Shimbun.

Itoman Trading Co., Ltd., a famous trading company in Osaka, Kansai, obtained loans totaling 1.2 trillion yen from banks over a period of five years in order to invest in real estate development business. However, according to reports from insiders, Itoman Trading Co., Ltd. is now a shell company and its borrowed funds have disappeared.

As soon as the news was reported.

Under pressure from public opinion, several departments including the Financial Affairs Bureau, the Special Investigation Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department launched an investigation.

The incident shocked the whole of Japan as soon as it started.

The funds that Ito Man obtained from the bank were transferred many times and, through complex money laundering techniques, flowed into the hands of Xu Yongzhong, the former president of Oyodo Construction.

Heo Yong-jung is a Korean-Japanese who served as the bodyguard and driver for Japan's largest mafia boss after World War II. He later became the president of Oyodo Construction and had frequent dealings with violent gangs such as the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Before joining Ito Man, Ito Man's president, Okamura, was a senior executive of Sumitomo Bank. So he borrowed nearly 300 billion yen from Sumitomo Bank based on his old relationship. He bought paintings and antiques worth 7 million yen from Xu Yongzhong at a price that was two to three times the market price. With the introduction of Xu Yongzhong, he invested the remaining amount in various unprofitable golf course operations and real estate transactions.

This astronomical amount of money borrowed from the bank was transferred by Itoman Trading Company through Xu Yongzhong, and its final destination is unknown. (End of this chapter)
