In 1989, the GDP of Shanghai, China's largest economic city, was 2 trillion yen based on the exchange rate of the Japanese yen.

But now Ito Man Trading Company has only borrowed a city for a few years, and no one knows where it has taken the city.

Anyone with a little common sense would know that such a large financial crime must be related to bribery of high-level government officials. In addition, the Sumitomo Bank, the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Special Investigation Department, the Financial Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Gang Response Division, and the Financial Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Finance jointly formed a super special task force.

Hundreds of people, in accordance with their duties, took control of the Nagoya Branch and Yokohama Branch of Sumitomo Bank, as well as Ito Man Trading Co., Ltd. and Oyodo Construction President Xu Yongzhong and others.

Tokyo.

Special Investigation Division of the District Prosecutors Office.

Kaibu Oko slapped the table and glared at Kondo Zhaichuan, the president of the Nagoya branch of Sumitomo Bank.

"Why did Itoman Trading Company suffer from the red payment? Have you never thought deeply about this issue?"

"With the long-term dealings with Itoman Trading Company, no one would have thought that such a problem would arise before it happened."

Kondo Zhaichuan responded very calmly, completely denying all responsibility.

But this answer obviously did not satisfy Kaibe Oko. She looked coldly into the other person's eyes and said, "When the incident happened, did no one find it suspicious?"

The so-called red remnant.

In the banking world, when writing a check or withdrawing a deposit, if the amount exceeds the deposit amount, it is considered "red and cash". When withdrawing a deposit, do not use a check but cash.

Ichigoshi is a bank that provides private advance payment to large depositors when they are temporarily short of money. This is called "Ichigoshi".

Ultimately, short payment of bills is of course due to insufficient funds, but when it comes to "short payment", it can only happen to companies that issue bills. If they only engage in cash transactions, this situation will not occur.

And many people may think that any company can issue bills, but this is not actually the case.

For example, the civil engineering industry has the motto of "cash is king" and would rather sell on credit than accept payment by bills.

Of course, there are all kinds of companies in the world, and there are exceptions among them that don't follow this rule.

Companies that insist on cash settlement are considered to be old-fashioned and backward operations that are outdated and need to be eliminated, and are looked down upon by banks.

Therefore, when a general contractor with deteriorating performance goes bankrupt, it is time for all the banks to kick it when it is down.

Banks may even say cruel words like "Kill this crappy company" or "Who wants to provide support to such a stingy crappy company?"

But there is no doubt about it.

Since Itoman Trading Co., Ltd. shifted its focus to real estate investment, 1.2 trillion yen of funds disappeared from its account. As the largest lending bank, Sumitomo Banking Corporation Nagoya Bank must have known the secret.

However, Kondo Zhaichuan was very tight-lipped. No matter how many times Kaibu Oko and other colleagues interrogated him, no one could get any useful information out of him.

"Damn it! Are we just going to let him go? This bastard must know a lot of things."

"Until there is evidence that the disappearance of the funds is related to him, what else can we do?"

"Damn bastard, he completely shirked his responsibility after something like this happened. Is there no other way?"

"We can only wait and see what happens in other groups! After all, he is not a low-class person like the Yakuza."

“.”

result.

Naturally, nothing was asked.

More than one trillion dollars, in this era, is more than the total wealth of hundreds of countries. Since such a thing has been done, who would admit that illegal money laundering has occurred?

Those who confess will be treated leniently, those who are in prison will be sentenced to life imprisonment, those who resist will be treated severely, and everyone knows that going home for the New Year is the right thing to do.

Therefore, apart from the detention of Xu Yongzhong, the president of Ooyodo Construction, who had close ties with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and Ito Man, the president of Okamura, the investigation team did not gain any results.

However, after being arrested, these two people knew nothing about anything and refused to admit their involvement in money laundering.

The whereabouts of the funds are naturally unknown.

No one knows where this amount of money, which is comparable to the gross national product of many countries, has gone! "Hello, President Dongsen. I am Mitokawa, a reporter for the financial weekly news. There is news that Itoman Trading Company borrowed 300 billion yen from Sumitomo Bank without collateral because of its connections. Does this indicate that Sumitomo Bank has serious loopholes in its customer qualification review?"

"President Dongsen, Itoman Trading Company's account is in the red. If the loan cannot be recovered, does that mean this huge loan may become a bad debt?"

“.”

Sumitomo Bank, Tokyo Head Office.

President Dongsen Daimu was surrounded by a group of reporters with an expressionless face.

All kinds of tricky and strange questions pop up one after another, and a careless answer can ruin your career.

But we cannot not answer, because in the development over the years, like other groups and banking institutions under the conglomerate, Sumitomo Bank has long been a listed company.

After such a big incident, the company must give an explanation to shareholders and the public.

Bow +1.

"I apologize to all shareholders on behalf of Sumitomo Bank for this serious incident, but I can say with certainty that the company did not have any loopholes in its management."

"As for the loan issue with Itoman Trading Company, the company has sent experienced post-loan management to control Itoman Trading Company. I believe that the rights and interests of every shareholder will be protected to the greatest extent possible."

"Since Mr. Dongsen believes that there is no problem with Sumitomo Bank's customer qualification review, then please explain how Itoman Trading Company was able to obtain a huge loan of 300 billion yen without any collateral."

"I'm sorry! I can't comment on the bank's top commercial secrets."

“.”

The reporter pursued the case relentlessly.

Dongsen Daimu was in a state of panic. He finally got into the car after being stopped by his bodyguards, but he received a call from Akiyama Tomiichi, the current chairman of the Foundation Managers Association.

Drive to Baishui Club.

A dozen middle-aged men in suits gathered together, all of them were presidents of the Sumitomo Group.

He serves as the president of 20 core groups, including Sumitomo Trust Bank, Sumitomo Life Insurance, Sumitomo Corporation, Sumitomo Metal, Sumitomo Light Metals, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Sumitomo Electric Industries, NEC, Sumitomo Chemical, Panasonic and Chaori Brewing.

The group of people had no expression on their faces.

My mood was extremely bad.

As early as half a year ago, when Sumitomo Chemical signed the long-term oil purchase agreement and talked about the future consortium strategy, everyone was very excited.

But in just half a year, the world changed drastically, time seemed to have accelerated, and the changes were so sudden that people were caught off guard.

First, the heavy industry and petrochemical strategy, which seemed to be a sure win no matter how you calculated it, was shattered by a war in a new era. The devastating Gulf War not only ended the chaos in the Gulf region, but also caused a sharp drop in oil prices, leading Sumitomo Chemical to fall into a long-term contract loss trap.

The central bank first continued to raise interest rates, then suddenly increased the down payment to 75 percent and almost stopped real estate loans.

As a result, Sumitomo Realty, Sumitomo Construction, and Sumitomo Osaka Cement Group all suffered heavy losses during this period.

Not only did the stock prices plummet, but the liquidity was also in trouble. Sumitomo Bank and Brothers Corporation had to invest large sums of money to rescue the three groups.

Originally, these problems were not too big. As long as there was financial support from Sumitomo Bank, all problems could be easily solved.

But now, the long-term partner Ito Man Trading Company has done this again. 300 billion yen of funds have disappeared, which is a huge blow to the reputation of Sumitomo Bank and the Sumitomo Group.

They looked at each other.

I don't know who sighed, and there was no longer the cheerful and high-spirited atmosphere in the previous manager meeting.

Bad things happened one after another, it was just like - when it rains, it pours. When the ship is late, it encounters headwinds.

Without saying much, Akiyama Tomiichi took the lead and entered the Hakushui Company.

Walking at the end were the presidents of the three major groups: Sumitomo Realty, Sumitomo Construction and Sumitomo Osaka Cement.

The few of them looked at each other, then looked at the new Sumitomo Chemical President Hiromo Ono who was lagging behind, and pursed his lips, obviously laughing secretly.

Previously, Hiromo Ono had vowed at the consortium managers' meeting that Sumitomo Chemical would assume its responsibilities and make Sumitomo the strongest consortium on the planet.

But not long after these words were spoken, Sumitomo Chemical was deeply trapped in the oil purchase agreement trap and was losing hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. It is better to suffer misfortune with fellow Taoists than to suffer misfortune alone! Guangmo Xiaoye found that he seemed to have become one of the money-losing goods, and his face was very ugly.

As early as 1915, chemical fertilizers were produced from sulfurous acid gas produced during copper smelting, which not only avoided pollution but also recycled resources. This was the predecessor of Sumitomo Chemical Industries, Ltd.

Now, after eighty years of growth, it is one of Japan's most representative comprehensive chemical companies and one of the core groups of the Sumitomo Group.

It has four departments, namely basic chemistry, petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and agricultural chemistry, and 10 research institutes. Its five factories produce and provide more than 3,000 products, including industrial chemicals, synthetic fiber materials, aluminum, synthetic rubber, synthetic resins, dyes, chemical products, pesticides, feed additives, chemical fertilizers, etc.

The agricultural chemical department alone controls almost 60 percent of the agricultural market in Asia, supplying agricultural materials such as pesticides, fertilizers, feed additives, irrigation equipment, seeds, etc.

With a goal of having a complete product portfolio, including insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, as well as new plant growth regulators and other new products, we continue to develop and supply pesticides to more than 100 countries around the world.

In addition, its subsidiary Sumitomo Rubber controls rubber products throughout Asia and tire products in most of the world, bringing Sumitomo tens of billions of dollars in profits every year.

The international chemical giants held two closed-door meetings with only eight people participating, including the president of DuPont, the president of Dow Jones, the president of BASF, etc.

However, among Asian countries, only the president of Sumitomo Chemical can participate.

Therefore, as the chairman of Sumitomo Chemical, Hiromo Ono's status has always been on par with that of Sumitomo Bank's Higashinari Ohnoki, second only to Akiyama Tomiichi.

And now, with the signing of a three-year long-term loss purchase agreement, his status has obviously declined quietly.

The worst thing is that Sumitomo Chemical now also needs some financial support from Sumitomo Bank.

However, Sumitomo Bank itself is in trouble now, so it may be difficult to talk about this matter for the time being.

soon.

A group of giants gathered in the top office of Baishui Company.

With the anti-eavesdropping device turned on.

Akiyama Tomiichi sat cross-legged and asked, "With so many things happening recently, what do you think?"

"The central bank suddenly launched an attack at this time, and got the support of Sanhe. Things seem a little unusual."

"Mitsubishi and Sanhe seem to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance. We must be vigilant."

"My intuition tells me that this matter of Ito Wan is not simple."

"Dongsen-kun is saying?"

"Itoman Trading Company was an important chess piece for the group to enter Osaka. It is too coincidental that it was uprooted at this time."

"If that's the case, then I'll give you a tooth for a tooth, double the amount!!"

“.”

Bang! Shakalaka!

As soon as he stepped into the elevator, Naoto Nagano heard the sound of powerful rock music.

The colorful lights made people dizzy, and the deafening heavy metal music, mixed with the smell of alcohol and tobacco, hit them in the face.

The colorful lights spun like crazy, producing beams of light of varying lengths, as if they were going to cut the world into pieces.

In the middle of the dance floor, two girls in maid outfits surrounded the pole, showing off their seductive bodies, which made people's adrenaline surge, and the music created waves that hit the ceiling again and again.

Young men and women, dressed in trendy yet overly cool clothes, were shaking their heads wildly in the crowded dance floor.

You shake your hips and I hold my waist up, it's like a gathering of demons dancing wildly.

If I don’t go to hell, who will?

President Nagano, who made great contributions to the country, soon came into conflict with Kazuko Kurihara.

It's no wonder that Kurihara Kazuko was very active and quickly adapted to the environment here. Her charming figure attracted the attention of many SPs around, and gradually some people came around with bad intentions.

Nagano Naoio acted as if he didn't see anything and let the group of people get closer.

Instead, Kurihara Kazuko gave a seductive look, showed her extraordinary strength, and made a rebellious and seductive gesture towards the pervert next to her.

"Beauty, let's have a drink together!" An SP greeted with a lewd smile, and his lowly look showed that he had no good intentions.

Kurihara Kazuko showed an expression of reluctance, then looked at Nagano Nao and said: "My man is looking at me. If you can get him to stay calm, I will pose in any position you want."

"Yoshi! Yoshi! I like girls like you!"

With a lewd smile, SP led two of his brothers and walked up to Nagano Naoya and said, "Boy, is this your girl? Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or I'll teach you a lesson."

"Are you talking to me?" Nagano Nao showed an innocent look and looked very innocent. Even though there was a very hideous scar on his face, compared with his temperament, he was simply harmless.

"Do I need me to say it again? Don't think you are impressive just because you wear a suit and tie and make phone calls with a cell phone. If you want to get involved, you must first know whose territory you are in."

Bang! 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!"

Bang! Bang! Several slaps came over.

“Are you a pig?”

"Ha Yi!"

"Idiot, apologize to Lord Nagano right now!"

"Ha Yi!"

“.”

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?"

“That 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 way!”

"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?"

“.”
