Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 480

As far as he himself is concerned, if because of his decision, the ruling party cannot be broken and made a comeback in the future, then he will not be able to leave behind the title of a reformer who is "good at planning and making decisions", nor will he be able to remain the same after he retires. Leverage your influence behind the scenes.

He was the one who broke the situation. The blame for the mess and the disappointment of the public must be borne by those clamoring outsiders, but Taro Hashimoto is responsible for cleaning up the situation and reorganizing the country.

He looked at Taro Hashimoto, and all he got was a slight nod.

Sanchong Yefu on the side looked at Tao Zhiming, thinking that all of this could go smoothly, and several forces were inseparable.

The conglomerates who took the initiative in this great change, the various factions in the party that must be united in the crisis of governance, and this young man who has had a great influence on the Komeito party since the removal of Nobuhiko Horikawa.

Whether it is Sumitomo, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, or the surviving Itochu family, including Hashimoto Taro, Miyazawa Kiji, Uno Soyou and even Kaibe Jun, they all have close or distant relationships and entangled interests with him.

He already has a site, a kanban, and a wallet all in one.

Now, the follow-up candidates he is optimistic about and willing to support, Hashimoto Taro and Abe Zhuanjiu, are all in this room.

Recalling the time when I talked with him at his graduation ceremony, Mie Nofuichi was a little dazed for a moment.

The old days have truly come to an end.

After all, a new generation has come to the stage.

He is both in the center and behind the scenes.

He is so young!

Someone the whole world has to pay attention to in the next few decades!

Miyazawa Kiji, who received an affirmative answer, took one last look at Taro Hashimoto, then exchanged glances with everyone, and finally fixed on Tao Zhiming's face.

After taking a deep breath, he nodded and said decisively, "Go ahead!"

……

While "difficult decisions" have been made on Neon's side, a new day has ushered in the place that is now in the spotlight.

Because it is too far north, the sun here is very low.

The weak sunshine can't dispel the cold breath of deep winter here.

The new banner is flying, but the remnants of the old days are holding their last meeting.

Although it was announced last night, today is the last ceremony.

The existence that made the other half of the world tremble for half a century is now performing the final legal procedure to terminate its existence.

The venue with less than [-] people was very deserted, and only one person was seated on the top rostrum.

The usual electronic voting machines were not activated, and there was no need to register the number of participants.

Today there is only one agenda, one vote.

The content to be voted on was announced to the whole world last night.

In the oppressive venue, people looked different.

Some are relieved, some are at a loss.Some are numb, others are excited.

Soon, this meeting will be over.

The person sitting on the rostrum was not the one who announced the news last night. He read out the final results.

"...Now that the President has announced his resignation to all the people, and now that the flag has been lowered, we have done our job peacefully, by the full right, by the constitutional means: hold one last meeting..."

"...It must be pointed out that not all representatives agree with this declaration, and some people think it is meaningless, because everything is already an established fact..."

"...But the House of Union persisted until the end, we fulfilled our civic and representative duties, and lived up to the trust of sovereign nations..."

"... Now I declare: Hongsu ceases to exist!"

On the streets of a famous city in this country, a man who has just resigned for a few months has quite thick hair.He sat in his little Volga listening to the news on the radio with blank eyes, while searching for passengers who wanted to take a private taxi.

On the same day, on the first channel of Xiaguo TV, an unremarkable program "Military World" started broadcasting.

In this world, many people are making different decisions, from the big shots at the top to the ordinary people.

Times have changed, but life goes on.

But the gears are already grinding.

The fifth volume of the game of the century

Chapter 554, Off Book Debt

"What did you say?!"

In the office of the president of Yamaichi Securities, one of the four most famous securities companies in Japan, which has been established for 95 years, the president Takeshi Takezawa who was already very restless sitting behind the desk heard the reports from his subordinates, his face was very pale. He leaned on the table in a big change and stood up.

His knuckles were white, obviously he was so shocked by the news he just heard that his voice trembled slightly.

"...Master President, this financial inspection seems to be serious, 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 Consortium, we , there must be no more accidents!"

"Why did that Naganuma guy tell the truth?" Takeshi Takeshi's face was livid, still in disbelief.

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 can tell at a glance that our accounts are wrong."

"How come..." Tsuyoshi Takezawa muttered to himself, "No matter how much data you have...it's impossible to say the scale of our off-book debts so accurately...Who the hell is it?"

"Now we have to find a way to act, Mr. President!" The subordinate was very anxious, "No matter what, we must not let the outside world know, especially we must not enter the state of rectification."

Tsuyoshi Takezawa pursed his lips tightly and didn't 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, and 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 taken a drastic step to solve the current situation.

One of them is the official launch of a major inspection and rectification of the financial system.

Unlike Yamaichi Securities, which was in a tense atmosphere after the discovery of debts hidden outside its official books, Neon Bank's internal morale was renewed.

The new banking law endowed Nihong Bank with legal and practical "independent" status. The efforts of several generations of Nihongen princes have blossomed and borne fruit in this generation, and Mie Nofu's reputation in the industry has reached its peak for a while.

But in the president's office, San Chong Yefu's expression did not show any joy.

Although the Ministry of Finance was in charge of the large-scale inspection of the financial system, a copy of the latest summary and detailed results was printed and distributed to him as soon as possible.

Looking down at the report, his knuckles were also a little white.

The total assets of one agent of Yamaichi Securities is as high as 24 trillion yen. This is the result of the stock market and real estate market having shrunk so much.

Because of this shrinkage, Yamaichi Securities’ debts last year approached 1 trillion yen.Another year is almost over, and the current debt may have reached 2 trillion yen.

But what I didn't expect was that they also concealed more than 2600 billion yen in debt.

This kind of off-book debt may not only exist in this family.

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 what he thought of was the prime minister's residence in the distance.

Kiji Miyazawa, who is there, is having a hard time now, right?

San Chong Ye Fu standing behind the window felt that everything was like this layer of glass.

In the eyes of those who don't know, Kiji Miyazawa, who stepped down because of the scandal at the time, has gone one step further when he re-emerges, which is a manifestation of the growing decay of the Democratic Liberal Party.Despite the current situation, factions are still infighting.

Miyazawa Kiji himself is more likely to be the one pushed out to stand on the stage.That's why after he came to power, he crazily implemented such a drastic policy because he hoped to reshape his image.

However, there are gains and losses. With so many reforms, I don’t know how many people’s interests have been violated.

Especially with what's happening right now.

At the gate of the prime minister's official residence today, there are also protesting crowds, right?

Mie Yefu's prediction was right, Miyazawa Kiji was like him now, standing by the window overlooking the street.

"Your Excellency, don't worry about those people..." his secretary whispered.

"Is Hashimoto-san here?"

"I'll be there soon, I just entered the official residence."

"Where's President Tao?"

"Just passed the call, and it will arrive in about 5 minutes."

Miyazawa Kiji nodded, turned his eyes away 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 going on for more than half a year. Before I leave office, this most important punch must be delivered. Let's go, I will exchange with Hashimoto-san first." view!"

After all, he went to the meeting room first.

The secretary quickly picked up a stack of documents on the table and followed behind.

On the street not far away, Tao Zhiming was sitting in the back seat of the car, reading the newspaper calmly.

The car drove very smoothly, and he didn't pay attention to the outside of the window at all.

The date in the newspaper was October 10, Heisei 25, and there was a huge photo on the news he read.

In the photo, there are two people who Neon people are very familiar with, but when they appear, they show a very strange sense of disharmony.Renming and his wife, dressed in black coats and ties, were standing on the winding Great Wall near the mountains and smiling.

The smile looks very official, but there is some sincere emotion in the eyes after all.

The headline 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", expressing the weight of the news.

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Tao Zhiming's mouth.

That's right, it doesn't count as a secondary school, this description is very pertinent.

After the car turned a corner and swayed slightly, Tao Zhiming's attention was still drawn by the scene outside the car window.

Many people stood there, some clenched their fists and shouted, and some waved flags and banners.

The excited man had a white strip of cloth tied on his forehead, and there was a red circle on his forehead.

Next to them, there were naturally tense policemen on full alert.

Tao Zhiming clicked his tongue: "These people are really energetic."

Toshio Ogata drove the car without squinting or answering. His expression was obviously a little nervous.

Two months ago, the group set a car on fire here in protest.

Now that things have really happened, I don't know if these people will do something more radical.

Fortunately, the car drove into the Prime Minister's residence without any surprises. The guards were already familiar with this car that had been there many times.

After the car came to a complete stop, Tao Zhi straightened his clothes, walked out from the opened door, and walked forward with ease.

Following the staff of the prime minister's mansion all the way to the meeting room, Tao Zhiming has already noticed the faint uneasiness under their calm and calm expressions.

It is no wonder that the current situation faced by Kiji Miyazawa is not good, and members of the opposition party are already brewing a case of no confidence in the cabinet with great momentum.If Miyazawa Kiji leaves office because of this, their future is uncertain.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and Miyazawa Kiji's secretary bent over seeing Tao Zhiming: "President Tao, please."

Tao Zhiming returned the salute with a smile, and when he entered the door, he saw Miyazawa Kiji and Hashimoto Taro standing up just now.

"Miyazawa-sama, Hashimoto-sama, you're being rude." Tao Zhiming greeted him, then walked over and sat down to get straight to the point, "Suddenly asked me to come here, could it be that the final result of the big inspection has come out?"

Hashimoto Taro looked serious, and said, "The situation is more serious than we expected!"

Chapter 555: Who do you plan to cheat?

Tao Zhiming was not surprised at all.

Without their own intervention, the final damage to the financial system caused by the neon bubble economy will not be covered up until the financial tsunami five years later.

With such a long time to digest, there will still be several hundred-year-old stores and financial giants going bankrupt.

He didn't believe that the problem hadn't been discovered. It's just that the political and business circles in the situation could only take one step at a time in a daze, trying to find ways to suppress and digest the debt and plug the loopholes.

It's different now.While Tao Zhiming pointed out a clear path, it naturally gave Miyazawa Kiji and Hashimoto Taro the opportunity to take advantage of the trend.

But Miyazawa Kiji didn't think so, but asked very solemnly: "How serious is the situation?"

Only then did Hashimoto Taro take out a thick stack of reports from his briefcase and hand them over, saying: "The total scale of debts hidden outside the official financial statements and debts active in the secondary financial market is also Reached nearly 10 trillion yen!"

Kiji Miyazawa trembled visible to the naked eye, and asked in disbelief, "There are so many?"
