"What?"
“.”
Kogoro Yasuda felt that he had heard it wrong.
Six trillion! This penalty amount is ridiculous.
Pull up your pants.
Come to the office area.
Take the penalty notice from the Securities Department and take a look at it.
6000000000000.
There was actually a fine of 6 trillion !
"This must be some kind of prank."
"How is it possible that there is a six trillion dollar fine?!"
The subordinate's face was almost bitter: "Sir! I have confirmed with the Financial Bureau that this punishment is indeed from the Securities Department!"
"Confirmed?"
Kogoro Yasuda obviously didn't believe it.
Six trillion.
This is fucking outrageous.
The deputy minister showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Ha Yi! And before the fine is paid, all the company's securities accounts and bank accounts are temporarily frozen!"
"Asshole! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"I already said it!"
"Why would they do such a stupid thing? They must want to teach us a lesson because we don't have any gifts! Contact Mr. Yamano. I want to file a complaint against the Financial Bureau for these parasites! They dare to do such a thing today when the Asset Disclosure Law has been passed. They are asking for trouble."
Kogoro Yasuda had just finished speaking.
There were hundreds of people, all carrying bags, walking into the Yasuda Private Equity Investment Company.
As soon as these people came in, they rudely asked the company staff to go away and took control of the computers that were being used in groups.
Yasuda Kogoro saw something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey! Who are you guys? You barged in without saying hello, are you looking for trouble?"
The leader was a guy in a suit and tie.
Standing next to him was a righteous-looking bastard with a police rank.
Bow +1.
"It must be President Yasuda!"
"I am Makuma Yamano, the head of the Securities Division of the Financial Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Finance. This is Mr. Kenichi Sato, a senior inspector of the National Public Security Division, Office Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."
"Because someone reported that Yasuda Private Equity Management Fund had maliciously shorted the stock market, seriously endangering the country's economic security, we ask you to cooperate with our investigation now."
Kogoro Yasuda was dumbfounded.
I admit that I am short!
But are there good intentions and bad intentions in short selling?
How could the short selling transactions he made be malicious and endanger the national economic security? With such doubts and anger, Yasuda Kogoro gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Assholes! You must be mistaken! How could I endanger the national economic security?"
At this time.
The search team has found a lot of things from the computer.
A guy who looked very capable quickly printed some documents and came over and handed them to Kenichi Sato.
I took a look at the transaction records above.
Sato Kenichi's face turned serious. "Mr. Yasuda, are you trying to justify your crime? Then may I ask if your company bought 3 billion shares of Seibu Corporation at an average price of 428.9 yen in July 1991?"
"Is that so? Is there any problem? Is it illegal to buy stocks now? Or are some guys trying to frame me under the instructions of some other people?" Kogoro Yasuda sneered, having roughly guessed what was going on.
But he was not panicked at all.
All transactions on Yasuda Fund's accounts were directly traded at the brokerage firm, which was legal and compliant. If someone wanted to use his connections to accuse him of a crime, and this kind of thing was known to others, the entire country's financial system would be doomed! Sato Kenichi also saw that Yasuda Kogoro did not seem to be afraid of him.
The guy sneered and waved the document in his hand, slapping it on Yasuda's face. "Do you think you can frame the joint investigation of Room Zero and the Investigation Team just by showing an innocent and angry look? Then please take a closer look. Why did you sell the stocks you bought at an average price of 428.9 yen in July 1991 at 360 yen?"
What?
Kogoro Yasuda was completely stunned.
He remembered the stock of Seibu Construction very clearly. At that time, he felt that the stock price had clearly peaked, so when he saw the sharp drop, he immediately stopped loss and exited the market according to the strategy.
Come back to your senses.
Kogoro Yasuda showed a mocking and contemptuous look: "Officer Sato, do you know what you are asking? Or do you not even understand the most basic stock trading rules? Have you heard of trading stop loss? When a stock falls to the stop loss line of the trading strategy, it must be sold to control the loss. Such a simple principle, you can understand it!"
"I really don't understand this! But please listen to my question carefully, why did you sell the stocks worth 428.9 yen at 360 yen?" Sato Kenichi said coldly, with an angry look in his eyes that made Yasuda feel like he was a real criminal.
Glancing at Yamano Shinkuma and then at Sato Kenichi, Yasuda Kogoro felt like he had met two idiots. He was so angry that he had to explain again: "I forgive you guys for not understanding financial terms, so I'll just say some nonsense that even an idiot can understand! The stock price has fallen to such a low point, if I don't sell it, will it just rot in my hands?"
"That means Mr. Yasuda also admitted that he had maliciously shorted the stock?"
"What? I'm just selling stocks. What's the malicious short selling?"
"Bagayalu! Are you still quibbling?! Buy high and sell low, sell if you don't make money, what is this but malicious short selling?"
"Asshole! Do you know anything about stocks? If this is malicious short selling, then does that mean all the investors who lost money are doing so maliciously?"
"Is this an excuse? Then I can ask you, and every stock investor, what is your purpose when you buy a stock?"
"Of course I made money! But the stock market doesn't guarantee making money! Can't I just sell it if I lose money?"
"Let's save this question for the interrogation room of the Security Division! Take him away."
He comes with ill intentions.
Good people don’t come.
Kogoro Yasuda realized that this group of people wanted to torture him to death.
But he was still not panicked: "Want to torture me or use other methods to frame me? Nagano is lucky to have a friend like you! But please don't forget one thing, a foundation that controls tens of billions of funds also has many friends, and many of them are well-known lawyers in the legal field. So I warn you, you'd better be polite to me, otherwise this layer of gray skin on you will be taken off immediately because of complaints."
"Are you threatening me, Mr. Yasuda?"
Sato Kenichi sneered repeatedly. Even at this point, he still couldn't figure out what kind of trouble he had gotten into. The guy in front of him was simply too stupid.
Yasuda Kogoro obviously didn't understand that the person he offended was not Nagano Nao, and he sneered: "This is not a threat, but a piece of advice!"
"If you want to say anything, please go to the Public Security Division!"
"I need to call my lawyer!"
"random."
at the same time.
A villa backed by a mountain in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto.
Nagano Nao got out of the car and followed Ikeda Sakurako to the yard.
The shade of the trees is lush.
The courtyard is surrounded by lush green leaves.
The exquisite and elegant pavilions and flower terraces are covered with blooming vines, and the blooming flowers make the place colorful.
I walked along a cobblestone path to the main entrance of the villa, raised my head and looked towards the living room, I saw Ikeda Koba and Sawaguchi Yasuko kneeling opposite each other, playing Go together.
Yasuko Sawaguchi wore a tight cheongsam, the smooth fabric outlined her beautiful body curves, and her pair of long white legs were separated from the hem of the cheongsam, looming, with a mysterious power that attracted people's attention and wanted to peek.
Ikeda Koye was wearing a kimono and her hair was tied in an exquisite ponytail. She didn't look delicate at all, but her temperament of holding her head high and her clean and neat dress gave her a special flavor.
I felt someone at the door.
They both looked over.
Ikeda Koye didn't say much, but her infertile face didn't look particularly welcoming.
Nagano Nao blinked.
He didn't even use the knife to cut himself, was he already prepared? !
woman!
He used to be mean to me all the time!
I was beaten so badly.
Today, I will use the peerless weapon passed down from my ancestors to decide the outcome! With this thought in mind, Nagano Nao became excited.
Just at this moment.
Ikeda Sakurako pushed him and said, "Let's get started!"
"What?"
Nagano Nao was obviously a little overwhelmed. He looked at Ikeda Sakurako and then at Ikeda Koba, feeling that something was wrong with this start.
"Go ahead! They are both in danger now!"
Huh? Ikeda Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly changed.
Nagano Nao saw that something was wrong and ran away: "Ikeda, do you want to murder your husband? At least tie her up first!"
"You bastard! You even want to tie me up?! I must kill you today!"
"Don't get me wrong, Xiaoye. I mean, why don't we work together to tie up Ikeda and teach this pervert a lesson!"
“.”
Like a rabbit being chased by a tiger.
Nagano Nao ran so fast.
Ikeda Koye's face turned red with anger. He chased after him in a few quick steps, immediately pinned him to the ground and started beating him.
It's so embarrassing.
I can't even beat a woman.
Nagano Nao was so angry after being beaten that he bit Ikeda Koye.
In this way.
Yasuko Sawaguchi laughed so hard that her eyes almost narrowed.
Ikeda Sakurako looked like she was not afraid of trouble. She came over and quickly untied the belt of Ikeda Koba's kimono.
After being attacked in this way, Ikeda Xiaoye felt ashamed, angry and indignant. She could only grit her teeth and quickly cover herself with her clothes.
Nagano Nao immediately took the initiative, but this guy did not play by the rules at all. He suddenly exerted his strength and took advantage of Ikeda Sakurako's smirk to launch a precise sneak attack.
I never expected this.
Ikeda Koba also turned against the party at the last minute.
Ikeda Sakurako looked a little flustered as she was fully prepared, but was pushed to the ground by the two men.
"Xiao Ye, are you going to rebel?!"
"I'm sorry, Miss! But Xiaoye is doing this for your own good!"
"You two. Xiao Jing"
“.”
The other side.
Kogoro Yasuda was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Room No. 0.
The sudden detention and the serious lineup made him feel alarmed and deeply uneasy.
Kenichi Sato came over with the documents, put the information on the table, and handed over the inquiry registration according to the procedure.
Kogoro Yasuda signed with a gloomy face: "Officer Sato! According to the law, you only have the power to detain me for 24 hours! But if you want to achieve your goal by framing me, I advise you to save yourself the trouble!"
"Mr. Yasuda, please be careful with your words! If we didn't have relevant evidence, do you think we would ask you to come back?"
Next.
There was a silent confrontation.
final.
Yasuda Kogoro said coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about! If you want to ask anything, wait until my lawyer comes."
"I have some very sad news for you! This is a case involving national security. Until we are sure whether there is still any danger, your lawyer is not qualified to intervene in this case."
Yasuda slammed the table again.
"Baga! I don't know how I violated national security."
"Mr. Yasuda, do you really not know this? Buying high and selling low caused the stock market to crash, and you dare to say that you did not undermine national security?"
"Are you kidding me? My fund was only 3 billion at the peak of the stock market. How could it cause a stock market crash?"
"I am asking you a question. Please answer me, did you buy 3 billion shares of Seibu Construction at an average price of 428.9 yen in July 1991?"
"So what? I have already explained this question."
"So, at what price did you sell the stocks you held?"
“Because I was losing so much at the time, I sold the stocks I held according to the strategy.”
"The key answer is, at what price did you sell the Seibu Corporation stock?"
"360 yen!"
"So you sold your shares when you didn't make a profit, right?"
"Yes! But this is"
"Any investor who invests in the stock market buys stocks for profit. You bought high and sold low, causing the stock price to fall. Do you still dare to say that you are not shorting maliciously?"
"Assholes! Can you please be reasonable? As for short selling, only institutions like Japan Life Insurance have the ability to cause a stock market crash! Can we do it?"
"Mr. Yasuda, you will be held legally responsible for defaming the reputation of Nippon Seibu if you falsely accuse a financial institution that stabilizes the market. Do you know what you are saying?"
"I'm just stating a fact!"
"Actually, do you have evidence?"
"You won't check?"
"I'm sorry. We only received a complaint from Nippon Life Insurance. When Nippon Life Insurance received an order from the Ministry of Finance to rescue the market and invested funds to stabilize the financial order, your fund maliciously sold stocks, causing the financial market to collapse and seriously endangering the country's economic security."
Kogoro Yasuda was so angry that he laughed: "I maliciously shorted the stock market? Japan's life insurance rescued the market? A market of hundreds of trillions was crashed by my 3 billion yen funds?"
"You can save this question for the judge! Mr. Yasuda, in October 1991, the Ministry of Finance issued an order prohibiting the limit of 20 stock index futures positions, but the transaction records we found showed that the Yasuda Fund account held 1,000 contracts. How do you explain this?"
"The Ministry of Finance only prohibits individual transactions, and does not prohibit the opening of more than 20 contracts per day, but does not prohibit the cumulative size of positions. Moreover, when it comes to the size of open positions, the Nikkei 255 trades hundreds of thousands of contracts every day, and the largest short seller, Osaka Asset Management under Japan Life Insurance, holds 60,000 contracts. If you are talking about short selling, you should also investigate them, right?"
"In other words, you admit that you held a thousand short contracts when the Ministry of Finance ordered a ban on establishing short positions in stock index futures, and you maliciously shorted the stock market, causing the stock market to crash, right?"
Bang! Yasuda Kogoro slammed the table in anger, stood up and shouted: "Did you listen to me? The market is worth trillions of dollars a day, and I only have a thousand contracts in total. How could I be maliciously shorting?"
"Anyone who buys stocks wants to make money, but if you buy high and sell low, what else is that but malicious short selling?"
Kogoro Yasuda didn't know what to say anymore. He sat down helplessly and said with a sneer, "Before this, didn't you say that Wall Street was shorting the stock market? How come it's small retail investors like us now?"
"This is exactly why we, the police, asked you to come back! According to securities laws, foreigners and foreign investors are restricted from shorting the stock market due to the restrictions on the stocks they hold. So, we have never understood why Wall Street can short the stock market! Later, according to our investigation, we found that it was Japanese traitors like you, Yasuda, who teamed up with foreign capital to maliciously short the stock market!"
"Me, a Japanese traitor?"
Kogoro Yasuda pointed at his nose exaggeratedly and said in disbelief.
Sato Kenichi stood up, walked around Yasuda Kogoro a few times, and finally slammed the table: "Asshole! Do you still want to keep quibbling? You bought stocks that didn't make money and sold them, cooperated with the Americans to short the stock market, causing the financial market to plummet, countless people went bankrupt and jumped off buildings, and you also slandered and framed the Japanese Ieyasu who was doing his duty to save the market. What else is he but a traitor to Japan?"
