MTL - Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era-Chapter 554 Off-book debt
Chapter 554 Off-Book Debt
"What did you say?!"
In the office of the president of Yamaichi Securities, which has been established for 95 years, one of the four well-known securities clubs in neon, the president Takesawa Tasashi, who was already very uneasy sitting behind his desk, heard the report from his subordinates, and his face changed. With a big change, he stood up holding the table.
His knuckles turned white, obviously he was so shocked by the news he just heard that his voice trembled slightly.
"...President, it seems that the financial inspection this time is genuine, we have to find a way!" The subordinates also turned pale, "Hurry up and contact Fuji Bank! As one of the core clubs of the Furong Foundation, we, It must never happen again!"
"Why did that guy in Naganuma tell the truth?"
He didn't seem to be asking his subordinates, it seemed that he just couldn't figure it out.
"...It's not what he said, the investigator on the investigation team...seems to have a lot of data, and at a glance we can see that our accounts are wrong."
"How could..." Takesawa Tsukasa murmured to himself, "No matter how we master the data... it's impossible to say so accurately the size of our off-book debt... Who is it?"
"Now we have to find a way to act, Mr. President!" The subordinates were very anxious, "In any case, we can't let the outside world know, especially we can't enter a state of rectification."
Takesawa Takeshi pursed his lips tightly, and did not shy away from him, grabbed the phone on the table and started dialing.
What happened here is just a microcosm.
Almost a year has passed. Since the House of Representatives passed many new bills and amendments to old bills just after New Year's Day, the cabinet seems to have the courage to take a drastic solution to the current situation.
One of them is the official launch of a major inspection and major overhaul of the financial system.
Unlike Yamaichi Securities, who was in a tense situation when debts hidden from official books were discovered, the morale within Neon Bank was renewed.
The new banking law gave Neon Bank a de jure and de facto "independent" status. The efforts of many generations of Neon Princes came to fruition in this generation, and Mie Yefu's reputation in the industry reached its peak for a while.
But in the president's office, Mie Yefu's expression did not show any joy.
Although the Ministry of Finance is in charge of the inspection of the financial system, the detailed results of the latest summary were printed and distributed to him immediately.
Looking down at the report, his knuckles were also a little white.
The total assets of Yaichi Securities’ agency are as high as 24 trillion yen, which is still the result of the stock market and real estate market having shrunk so much.
Because of this shrinkage, Yamaichi Securities’ liabilities approached 1 trillion yen last year. Another year has passed, and the current debt may have reached 2 trillion yen.
But unexpectedly, they also concealed more than 260 billion yen in debt.
This off-book debt is probably not the only one that exists.
So how big is the total scale?
He put down the report with a heavy heart, stood up and moved his body.
Looking at the courtyard of the Neon Bank, his eyes were not focused, and he was thinking of the Prime Minister's official residence in the distance.
Miyazawa Kiji is there, isn't it hard now?
Mie Nofu, who was standing behind the window, only felt that everything seemed like this layer of glass.
In the eyes of the uninformed, Kiji Miyazawa, who stepped down due to the scandal at that time, has gone a step further, which is a manifestation of the increasingly decadent Democratic Liberal Party. Despite the current situation, infighting between factions continues.
Miyazawa Kiji himself is more likely to be the one who was pushed out to stand on the stage. Therefore, after taking office, such a drastic policy was implemented so frantically, and it was nothing more than hoping to reshape the image.
However, there are gains and losses, so many reforms, I don’t know how many people’s interests have been violated.
Especially what's going on right now.
There are also protesting crowds at the entrance of the Prime Minister's official residence today, right?
Mie Yefu was right at all, and Miyazawa Kiji was like him now, standing by the window and looking out at the street.
"Your Excellency, don't care about those people..." his secretary whispered.
"Has Hashimoto-san arrived?"
"I'll be there soon, I've just entered the mansion."
"Where's President Tao?"
"I just passed the call, and I will arrive in about 5 minutes."
Miyazawa Kiji nodded, withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the table and chair in front of him, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Then, he got up solemnly and said solemnly: "Time is running out. The investigation has been carried out for more than half a year. Before I leave office, this most important punch must be hit. Let's go, I will exchange with Hashimoto-san first. view!"
Having said that, he should go to the conference room first.
The secretary quickly picked up the stack of documents on the table and followed him.
On the street not far away, Tao Zhiming sat in the back seat of the car, calmly reading the newspaper.
The car drove very smoothly, and he didn't pay any attention to the outside of the window.
The date on the newspaper was October 25, Heisei 4, and there was a huge photo on the news he read.
In the photo, they are two people that Neon people are very familiar with, but the occasions where they appeared, showed a very strange sense of discord. Renming and his wife, dressed in black coats and ties, smiled while standing on the winding Great Wall.
The smile looks very official, but there is some sincere emotion in the eyes after all.
The title of the news is in the same style as before. The first four characters use the description of "the first time in a thousand years" to express the heavyweight of the news.
Tao Zhiming's mouth showed an inexplicable smile.
is also right, it is not a middle school, this description is very pertinent.
The car turned a corner, and after shaking slightly, Tao Zhiming's attention was still drawn by the scene outside the car window.
Many people stood there, some clasped their fists and shouted, while others waved with flags and banners.
The excited man has a white cloth strip on his forehead, and the position on his forehead is a red circle.
Beside them, there are naturally tense police officers on guard.
Tao Zhiming clicked his tongue: "These people are really energetic."
Ogata Toshio drove the car without squinting or answering, and his expression was obviously a little nervous.
Two months ago, the gang set a car on fire here to protest.
Now, things have really happened, I wonder if this group of people will do something more radical.
Fortunately, the car drove into the Prime Minister's official residence without incident. The guards are already familiar with this car that has been here many times.
After the car stopped, Tao Zhi arranged the front of his clothes with numerology, then walked out of the opened car door and walked forward.
Following the staff of the Prime Minister's residence all the way to the conference room, Tao Zhiming had already noticed the faint unease under their calm and calm expressions.
It is no wonder that the current situation facing Kiji Miyazawa is not good. The opposition MPs are already preparing a motion of no confidence in the cabinet. If Miyazawa Kiji leaves office because of this, their future is uncertain.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside, Miyazawa Kiji's secretary saw Tao Zhiming and bent down: "President Tao, please."
Tao Zhiming smiled and returned the salute. When he entered the door, he saw Miyazawa Kiji and Hashimoto Taro just standing up.
"Miyazawa-sama, Hashimoto-sama, I'm rude." Tao Zhiming bowed to meet him, then walked over to sit down and went straight to the subject, "Suddenly let me over, is it because the final result of the major inspection has come out?"
Hashimoto Taro looked serious and said, "The situation is more serious than we expected!"
Hey, let’s not say too much, this is a bad start for this year. I know it's short, but you have to have an attitude. Promise again, the book will not be a eunuch, I write it with my heart.
