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

After letting her hands and feet eat and drink, Fujiwara Norika became very cute. Her rosy little face was buried in the pile of yakitori, and she just finished several plates!

Her drinking capacity was very poor, and after a few glasses of sake, she became a bit tongue-tied when talking. After not chatting for long, she fell down at the bar and fell asleep.

Kitahara Sosuke was speechless. This little girl was too defenseless. She was obviously a girl, but she had no scruples in getting drunk in front of a man and fell unconscious.

If he had some inappropriate thoughts, Fujiwara Norika would be in trouble tonight.

After paying the bill, Kitahara Sosuke helplessly helped Fujiwara Norika, who was stumbling around, to the street to take a taxi. Late at night, the street was still full of men and women wearing different clothes. However, a combination like them of a man supporting a drunk woman was still quite rare.

Fortunately, Kitahara Sosuke and Fujiwara Norika are both wearing uniforms and have bank employee nameplates on their chests. Otherwise, looking at the few young people with unkind eyes around them, they might suspect that Kitahara Sosuke is a senior "corpse picker" and he might do it at any time. Come up.

"You cause me trouble all day long, and you pay for the taxi." Kitahara Sosuke took out a few ten-thousand-yuan bills from her handbag and waved them vigorously as if they were free. Soon a taxi stopped.

He immediately picked up Norika Fujiwara and got into the car.

Her body is very soft, with a faint scent of lotus, and unexpectedly light. The black stockings feel good, they are probably from famous brands.

Kitahara Sosuke really likes this naive and very smart little assistant. In his previous life, he has seen too many thoughtful and sophisticated women. Fujiwara Norika is like a cherry blossom that has just bloomed and has not yet emitted its fragrance. There are a few more Being pure and innocent makes him feel less uncomfortable getting along with her.

"It's not so hot." The confused Fujiwara Norika was about to reach out to unbutton her chest. She was twenty-three years old, well developed, and looked quite large from a close distance. The tight-fitting uniform outlined her body, and it was indeed a bit stuffy.

"We're not home yet!" Kitahara Sosuke swatted her hand away and slightly opened the car window. At this time, the car's windows still had manual swing control switches, which gave them a sense of age.

The cool wind blew, and Fujiwara Norika's round face turned slightly red, and she threw herself into his arms: "Dad, I was wrong! Don't hit me. Norika will study hard and go to work in Tokyo! Don't hit me." Ji Xiang, don’t hit me.”

"Ahem, sir, your girlfriend is really interesting." The taxi driver coughed a few times, probably thinking they were playing some strange game. There was a trace of a smile in his cough that all men understand, " It’s so nostalgic, the breath of youth.”

"." Kitahara Sosuke, who had a black look on his face, wanted to push away this guy who was embarrassing him, but found that Fujiwara Norika was hugging him tightly for some reason, and kept muttering "Dad, don't hit me" and the like. if.

He sighed, let her hold him, and turned to look out the window at the bustling Osaka city. The night was blurry, and his thoughts gradually drifted to other places.

After sending Fujiwara Norika back to the rental house, Kitahara Sosuke walked back to his apartment. They lived not far from each other, and the housing prices were similar. However, Kitahara Sosuke bought the house directly, while Kitahara Sosuke came from the countryside. Norika Fujiwara lives in a rented house.

There is some vague information about the assistant in the memory, but that all dates back to the interview. As the direct leader, Kitahara Sosuke asked about her family background during the simple interview.

My hometown seemed to be a small place in Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku Island. Anyway, it was a small place in a small town, and the original owner never paid any attention to it.

It is indeed not easy for such a girl from the countryside to be admitted to the University of Tokyo and finally enter the University of Tokyo. There is a lot of pressure.

Back in the apartment, Kitahara Sosuke was about to take a shower. "Ring, ring, ring," the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. He walked over and picked up the phone, and a coercive and deep voice came from the phone: "Aosuke?"

"It's me." Kitahara Sosuke's heart skipped a beat. For the past two days, he had been thinking about how to deal with the questioning that might come from home. He didn't expect that things would come so suddenly.

And the caller was none other than his father, Masao Kitahara himself!

The relationship between the original owner and his family was very ordinary. After leaving the family, he went home only a handful of times during the years from school to work. He was unwilling to obey his father's arrangements and wanted to prove himself through his own efforts. He had a stubborn and simple personality and simple thinking.

Kitahara Masao only has two daughters and one son. As the only son, Kitahara Sosuke is naturally the only successor. Since his birth, Kitahara Masao has paved the way for his future life.

It's a pity that the original owner didn't appreciate it at all and insisted on working hard to become a person like his father. This deep-seated wish has not been told to anyone else.

It seems that in his memory, due to the long-term lack of father's love, the original owner has always treated his father with an attitude of longing for care and recognition, but also extremely resentful. In the end, this emotion was derived, and he had to prove it to gain his father's attention.

In his opinion, the original owner's spirit was praiseworthy but his actions were stupid. Given this status and background to him in his previous life, he would have been able to achieve the achievements he had at that time before he was thirty years old, and he would not have been unable to go further and become a truly top-notch person. He has been troubled all his life by being a famous figure.

In fact, Kitahara Masao did not really acquiesce in his actions without any interference as the original owner thought.

Otherwise, with his current strong connections, how could he possibly obtain two sets of Tokyo properties? Isn't it just a favor that people sell out of his father's face?

However, the original owner was completely unaware of this

There was silence on the phone.

This was also the norm for the few phone conversations they had.

One is not good at communicating with his son, the other is sullen, and neither of them is willing to take the initiative to speak.

After a while, a somewhat distorted sound finally came from the phone again.

"what you up to?"

Simple and direct.

Kitahara Sosuke knew that Kitahara Masao should have investigated everything about him recently before making this call.

Selling real estate stocks to cash out, changing financing directions and strategies, and even his trip to Takeuchi Rubber today may not be able to be hidden.

Kitahara Masao should be very confused. The investigation results will show that he has no financial crisis and no bad habits. All kinds of abnormal behaviors started after the celebration banquet that day.

"I think the stock is going to fall soon." Kitahara Sosuke thought about it and decided to express his attitude in the most concise answer.

For Masao Kitahara to be able to sit in the position of executive director of Tosan, he must be one of the best among people. To lie to him is of little significance and will only arouse distrust and suspicion.

Although he did not inherit Kitahara Sosuke's personal emotions, he did not want to completely break away from his interpersonal relationships unless it really made him uncomfortable.

Since he is still tied to the big ship of the Kitahara family, winning the favor of Masao Kitahara is what he must do.

When his own wings are not full, the support of the Kitahara family is indispensable.

If possible, he didn't want to be alone.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Masao Kitahara spat out a few words.

"Why?"

Kitahara Sosuke was startled for a moment. In his memory, that man was majestic, always self-centered, and a male chauvinist who had his own way of doing things.

He had thought about various scenarios of being scolded and had some methods to deal with them.

After all, the general environment is like this, and it is too difficult for people to believe that stocks may plummet in the near future.

But Masao Kitahara is actually willing to listen to his explanation?

The relationship between father and son is deeper than he thought?

Kithara Sosuke took a breath and shook his head to abandon this ridiculous idea.

A man who can sit in that position will never be fettered by emotions.

So, actually, he had some news?

"Our loan funds basically flow into the stock market and the real estate market. Once the funds are withdrawn, these two markets will be violently turbulent. At the same time, it will quickly affect various companies, including the lending banks. Stocks will plummet. I am afraid that soon, housing prices will also It will fall accordingly.”

Kitahara Sosuke said slowly, from the perspective of future generations, RB's economic bubble started from 1985 to the end of 1989, and it was already huge.

But people in it are often deceived by false prosperity and doubled wallets. As the bubble gets bigger and bigger, a few people with a keen sense of smell may be able to sense it, but most people are still intoxicated and unaware.

And as long as the bubble continues to grow, this phenomenon will always exist unless someone pops it.

This process has been repeatedly described as a classic case in later generations, and anyone working in the financial industry knows it clearly. In fact, few people in the RB country at that time expected that the bubble would burst so quickly, let alone prepare for a rainy day.

Because in Kitahara Sosuke's explanation, as the most important starting point - the return of funds, no one could predict it.

In the original historical trajectory, this starting point stemmed from the appointment of RB Bank President Mie Noyasu and his crazy behavior of raising interest rates. He personally popped the bubble.

Now, Mie Yeyasu is only the vice president of RB Bank. He was successfully elected on December 17, 1989.

"The current policy of the head office is still to encourage large-scale loans. We have no shortage of funds, so why are they withdrawn? The situation of other banks is similar. If the situation you mentioned really occurs, do you know what will happen to RB?"

Kitahara Masao's tone was calm, but there was an indescribable sense of majesty.

"The national economy has experienced a sharp decline, and assets have shrunk instantly." Kitahara Sosuke answered truthfully, "Father, I think this is not impossible. The Bank of Japan is still in the hands of Governor Satoshi Sumita, but I remember that the change of office took place within these two months. Something about that, right?"

"Governor Satoshi Sumita comes from the Ministry of Finance. According to regulations, the next president must be someone from the Bank of Japan headquarters, and the Bank of Japan headquarters are all radicals."

As the central bank of RB, RB Bank controls the national economy and monetary policy. As the head of the bank, the president is stipulated to be held by rotation between the head office and the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Finance is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance of the State Council. It belongs to the government faction and is basically conservative. The opposite is true for senior officials of the Bank of Japan.

Faced with such a terrifying economic bubble, it is not impossible for radicals to choose to pop it.

Although it sounds scary.

"Yes, Aosuke, you have really grown up in the past few years." Masao Kitahara interrupted him, his tone of heartfelt approval.

I guess the original owner would be so excited when he heard this kind of recognition.

Kitahara Sosuke was very calm. His first reaction was that, as expected, these people at the top were not without rumors!

"There are ongoing debates within Tosan. The conservatives led by Governor Shirakawa believe that interest rates will not change for the time being, while the progressives led by Commissioner Gennai believe that there will be huge fluctuations in interest rates in the near future. The reasons are similar to what you said."

"It's just that it's still uncertain who will take over the position of Bank of Japan Governor, so everyone has different opinions on the issue of interest rates. No matter what the outcome is, Aosuke, you are very good at thinking of this and taking action."

Kitahara Sosuke understands that it seems that there is not peace within Tosan. He knew that his father, Masao Kitahara, belonged to the progressive group headed by Gennai, but he was the executive director and had not yet entered the core power level of the board of directors, so the information he could know was limited.

At this stage, whether he takes sides or not may directly affect his future position!

"However," Kitahara Masao paused and his tone became stern, "It is very stupid to invest all your cards at any time when the situation is unclear! What if your prediction is completely wrong? Yes, do you know how much you will lose?"

Money is still a trivial matter, but because of his judgment, he has offended Section Chief Yu Kuroda, which means he did not follow the instructions of President Naoto Asano, which is a taboo in the workplace.

This is what Masao Kitahara wants to wake up his son.

"Cangsuke, you must always remember that in a bank, personnel matters."

"Yes." Kitahara Sosuke chuckled and suddenly asked, "It's just that, father, if you make any decision with hesitation and don't have the courage to give it a try, how can you become the person who stands at the highest point?"

When the risks are greatest, the rewards are often greatest.

His goal is to become a new chaebol-like figure, and his uninspired behavior is inconsistent with his character and goals!

Kitahara Masao was shocked by his rhetorical question.

From his son's calm tone, he seemed to see an awakening lion.

"Please rest assured, I will prove it to you with the results, and I hope that by then, you will be able to make the same clear decision." Kitahara Sosuke added.

He could sense that Kitahara Masao was hesitating. From a historical perspective, the final struggle for Tosan was a complete victory for Governor Shirakawa's conservatives, while the progressive ones were almost suppressed to the point of collapse.

At the same time, the mistakes of the conservatives forced Tosan to finally choose to merge with Tokyo External Banking Corporation, and almost everyone in the original Tosan suffered huge losses.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Sosuke breathed a long sigh of relief. It was extremely laborious to talk to a person of that level. It was actually very difficult to convince Kitahara Masao that he was willing to wait for his own proof.

Moreover, he himself is not optimistic about his ALL IN playstyle. I am afraid that he made this call at first to persuade himself to turn around and take the initiative to ease the relationship with the section manager and bank president.

However, Masao Kitahara would not watch him "play nonsense" and agreed to wait for him to prove it with actual actions. Masao Kitahara also proposed that if his judgment was wrong and he made a big mistake, then he would take the initiative to go home in despair and follow him in the world. Tokyo is redeveloped.

For the original owner, this was the fate he was least willing to accept, but now he doesn't care and doesn't have the stubbornness in his heart.

Besides, Kitahara Sosuke has another biggest advantage——

He is a prophetic traveler.

After stretching, Kitahara Sosuke sat back on the sofa, and the phone that had just fallen silent started ringing again.

"Moxi Moxi, is this Mr. Kitahara Sosuke?"

It was a somewhat familiar girl's voice.

"I am."

"According to your wishes, all the shares of Panasonic Electronics and Tokyo Industrial Bank under your name have been sold. After deducting the handling fee, you will receive 99918764 yen, which has been fully transferred to your bank card. Please check it in time. .”

"Okay, thank you." The corners of Kitahara Sosuke's mouth turned up slightly. On the second day after he came into this world, he had a net worth of over 100 million.

Congratulations, it's a good start.

Although it is only yen, he is confident that it will turn into the same or even more rice gold in the future!
