The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property

Roger slowly opened his eyes. He had a severe headache and felt dizzy, as if he had just sat on a merry-go-round a hundred times over. The scene in front of him was blurry. It took a while for his vision to finally focus.

"Director Beihara, you're awake! Great..." A girl's clear voice came from the trance, as sweet as a wind chime.

Chief Kitahara? Roger felt a soft little hand on the back of his head, and his body was lifted up. He supported the table with both hands. The tabletop was slippery. Drinks and other items were probably spilled and had not been cleaned up yet.

Isn't it a celebration party? Why did you suddenly start playing role-playing games?

Roger rubbed his sore eyes, hiccupped and smelled of alcohol, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer.

It's not the big red wine table in my memory, but a long, square table filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks. Colorful wine bottles are scattered aside. The ceramic wine glasses are small and the wine inside is clear. Sweet.

The person holding him in front of him was a beautiful girl with short hair, delicate appearance, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, who was looking at him with a worried expression.

Her skin is delicate and fair, and her snow-white slender legs are covered by a tight professional hip-hugging skirt. Her upper body is wearing a common white shirt with bulging bags, and a gold-plated nameplate - Fujiwara Norika - hangs on the right side.

Seeing her, Roger's memories slowly merged and became clearer. Before getting drunk, he was still a financial tycoon worth tens of billions with a bright future. But when he woke up, he suddenly traveled to RB in 1989 and became He is an employee of the Osaka Chuo-ku Branch of Tokyo Industrial Bank, and also serves as the head of the third financing department under the first financing section.

His current name is Kitahara Sosuke, 25 years old, from Tokyo.

He clearly remembered that 1989 was the last prosperous period of the RB bubble economy era, and the bubble was about to burst!

"Department Chief Kitahara, Chief Oshima and Chief Sakurai have already gone to the next show. Do you want to sober up first?" A pretty girl named Fujiwara Norika asked softly, holding a water glass. She had just graduated from Tokyo University. Soon after joining the company, he was one year old and was two years younger than Kitahara Sosuke. Even in the bubble economy era, it took a lot of effort to get into Tokyo Industrial Bank, one of the leading banks in the banking industry.

For Norika Fujiwara, who was born in a rural area, this job is precious. To gain a foothold in the Tokyo Industrial Bank, where countless financial talents are entrenched, the leader and senior man in front of her is the key.

"Ah, thank you, Fujiwara." Kithara Sosuke glanced at her long snow-white legs that looked plump due to her kneeling posture, reached out to take the water glass, drank it all, and murmured lowly, "Bubble economy era"

He was once a rapidly rising new-generation giant in the financial industry. Naturally, he is no stranger to the term "RB bubble economy."

Since the signing of the "Plaza Accord" in 1985, RB has officially entered the era of bubble economy. The Japanese yen has appreciated significantly and everyone has become rich.

Encouraged by government policies, the era of universal investment has officially begun, and people are consuming and investing crazily. In this environment, countless funds flowed into real estate and the stock market, and most of them came from major banks.

When land prices were at their most exaggerated, half of Tokyo could buy an entire United States!

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. During the subsequent bubble bursting period, land prices and stocks plummeted, and the RB economy declined significantly. It has not fully eased until 2020. This is one of the classic cases that any worker in the financial field must learn from. .

The prosperous scene of vanity and the life of lavish wealth and extravagance were by his side at the moment. Kitahara Sosuke held the delicate water glass and looked at the mess on the dining table. It was like RB after the bubble burst. It was devastated and pitiful.

Of course, almost everyone doesn’t realize this yet.

"Congratulations...congratulations to Director Kitahara, this time the 20 million loan was successfully approved." Fujiwara Norika raised a glass of sake, her cherry mouth slightly opened, and toasted to him respectfully, "Just drink water, I'll do it. !”

During the celebration banquet, many people took turns to toast, and Fujiwara Norika didn't even have the opportunity to toast to her department head. She looked at this senior who had never communicated with her with some anxiety, and she couldn't understand the light in his eyes at the moment.

Looking at her face that looked a little cute because she tried hard to pretend to be a workplace socializer, Kitahara Sosuke smiled faintly and recalled how he looked when he first entered this industry. He was probably not much better than her.

The cups were touched lightly. Fujiwara Norika held the cup with both hands, pressing the rim very low. She had a correct attitude, which was completely different from the charming female college students of this period who were known to have countless spare tires.

During this period, RB was a paradise for college students. As soon as they graduated, they would be booked by various companies. Many companies even offered various generous benefits to attract them to join the job.

Probably only financial giants like the Tokyo Industrial Bank are qualified to be selective about Tokyo University graduates. Therefore, Norika Fujiwara of Deus Ex takes this job very seriously!

In his memory, Fujiwara Norika concurrently served as Kitahara Sosuke's assistant after joining the company. She was always respectful to his senior and had indeed good workplace emotional intelligence.

Back to the origin of this celebration party, a loan of 20 million is not a big deal in the current environment, but at this time, the financing class where Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika are in is being vigorously pursued by other classes , if you are not careful, you may lose the title of "Best Department Award" in the industry this year, and Kitahara Sosuke's sudden loan has made the burden on everyone's shoulders a lot lighter.

To show his gratitude, the department heads of the other two departments invited him and his assistant Fujiwara Norika to dinner and drinks tonight. However, they didn't expect that Kitahara Sosuke's drinking capacity was so bad that he couldn't afford to get drunk like that.

Department heads Oshima and Sakurai, who are also busy people, have already rushed to the next reception, leaving only Norika Fujiwara to take care of the drunken Kitahara Sosuke.

Kitahara Sosuke's hand holding the water glass was slightly cold, and his eyes kept scanning the inside and outside of the izakaya, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

RB in this period is a city that never sleeps everywhere.

In the night of feasting and feasting, filled with alcohol and charming bodies, large amounts of ten-thousand-yuan bills are thrown around casually, and the flashing neon lights and loud music interweave and merge into a splendid era.

It's a pity that this beautiful era is very short-lived.

When the bubble bursts, stock and land prices will drop significantly, and those who hold these assets and carry huge loans will face a moment of destruction.

The debts on his body have remained unchanged, but the assets in his hands have shrunk by hundreds or thousands of times. This change is enough to defeat anyone. Most enterprises with unstable foundations and even some banks will face bankruptcy crisis!

He looked at the prosperity and illusion around him, how beautiful it was now, how cruel it would be when it was shattered.

Of course, this is not something that he can save or change alone. What he can do now is to try his best not to be hurt by this storm, and then live a slightly better life in the future.

To be honest, in his previous life, he had experienced most of the things he could enjoy, experience, and try, but a life that was too smooth sailing was also very boring. Now that he has come to this period, he is in a banking industry that is about to suffer a huge impact. It is unprecedented. A sense of challenge is coming.

What he is least afraid of are crises and challenges, and he also likes the refreshing feeling of making a comeback in adversity. Creating a new business empire in such a period of national depression is an experience he has never had before!

Kithara Sosuke smiled softly and retrieved the memory in his mind.

Soon, his smile froze on his face.

"That's right. He became a department head of a big bank at a young age. He is handsome and rich, and he is engaged in the financial industry. All kinds of investments are normal at this time." Kitahara Sosuke tried his best to maintain a smile, but at this moment his smile It looked very weird in Fujiwara Norika's eyes.

Why does the department head feel a little weird when he wakes up?

Fujiwara Norika secretly looked at him, and then saw him standing up suddenly and running outside without looking back. Before she could react, the figure was gone!

But soon, Kitahara Sosuke's handsome figure appeared at the door of the izakaya again, and he waved to Fujiwara Norika.

Fujiwara Norika immediately stood up, gently smoothed the edge of her skirt with her hands, and ran over, her little black leather shoes clicking and clicking.

"Fujiwara, um... do you still have money on you?" Kithara Sosuke touched his nose in embarrassment. After searching his memory, he found that Yuan had a huge loan and several properties and stocks under his name. He planned to hurry up Go back and neutralize these time bombs.

Only when he ran out of the izakaya and saw the taxis passing by at high speed on the road, and the white-collar men and women on the roadside shaking ten thousand yuan bills in their hands, did he remember that it was not the time when he took a taxi, but when the taxi chose the passengers. !

"Yes, yes..." Fujiwara Norika nodded lightly, opened the handbag that was not a famous brand, but was quite exquisite. After opening the wallet, she saw a white hand suddenly reaching out and pulling out the banknotes inside. Most of them are out!

"Thank you. When I sell all my houses and stocks later, I'll treat you to dinner!" Kitahara Sosuke smiled and shook the big banknotes in his hand and joined the crowd of people taking taxis.

Fujiwara Norika looked at the crowd with slightly confused eyes. It was probably Kitahara Sosuke who had the most banknotes in his hand. Soon a taxi stopped and he got in the car and left with the envious eyes of a group of people.

After a while, Norika Fujiwara, who was messy in the wind, realized that he seemed to have taken away all his big banknotes?

"Eh?" She looked at the few small bills left and felt like crying. Then she had to twist her waist and leave slowly. After taking a few steps, she realized something was wrong, "The department chief just said that he wanted to sell it. Lose your house and stocks?!”
