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

Sakura Shrine Izakaya, Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

This izakaya opened in the bustling downtown area of ​​Tokyo occupies a large area, with three floors in total. The first floor is an ordinary lobby, which is composed of antique private rooms. You can vaguely see the dancing geishas and various people sitting on the tatami inside. kind of man.

Takeshi Kitano is a tall man with a Chinese character face. He has a clean haircut and a cross-shaped scar on his face. He wears a suit and has the aura of a Yakuza hero.

I heard that he worked as a head payer in the Inagawa Society in his early years. After being expelled from the organization, he set up his own business and built the Kitano-gumi into one of the famous Yakuza organizations in Tokyo. Then, after the signing of the Plaza Accord, he transformed at the speed of light, and was also recruited by Kitahara. Zhengxiong absorbed him and is now a very successful real estate businessman.

A legendary big shot who has some connections with both black and white.

He stood up straight, bowed as soon as he saw Kitahara Sosuke, then made a "please" gesture and led him up to the second floor.

There was only a huge palace-like stone door on the second floor. Two good-looking waitresses stood on either side. When they saw them approaching, they bowed and shouted in a sweet voice: "Welcome to Sakura Shrine."

In Japan, where the custom industry is very developed, there are many such unique "shrines". Sakura Shrine is owned by Itoman Co., Ltd. and has branches in six major cities. Among them, the one in Sennichimae is the headquarters and is full of customers every day. , even in the first few months of the economic downturn, it still had high popularity and sales.

Walking in, Kitahara Sosuke looked up and saw the exquisite wooden torii gates, pavilions, artificial hot springs, and a unique cave.

"Aosuke, let's talk while eating." Kitano Takeshi led Kithara Sosuke to a pavilion. There was a low wooden table set up on it, and three girls in miko uniforms were kneeling on both sides. They were not traditional miko. The clothes are more like a sexy style, with slits reaching the top of the thighs, and very little fabric. You can see many graceful scenery at a casual glance.

Good looks, good figure, excellent flexibility, sweet voice, and young.

Such a girl is very pleasing to the eye just lying there.

As soon as they sat down, the six girls were divided into two groups to serve the two of them. One was responsible for pouring wine, one was responsible for picking up food, and one was responsible for massaging.

The massage technique is very good. It can really relieve the discomfort of the shoulders and neck and the fatigue accumulated during the day. It can be seen that it is professional, and the kind of teasing that seems to be non-existent makes people want to stop.

Kithara Sosuke ate his food, clinked wine glasses with Kitano Takeshi, and started talking about it.

"I heard from Xiaolan that your logistics company, Cangjie, is doing very well. It is estimated that it can make hundreds of millions of profits a year. But from this point of view, you have fulfilled the promise at the press conference. It is really amazing. I admire you." Takeshi Kitano sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The scale of the business has already made him feel the enthusiasm of this industry, and he has to admit that Kitahara Sosuke's business vision has already surpassed that of many people.

"Haha, thanks to Xiaolan's management these days, otherwise Kitahara Logistics would not be able to start so quickly." Kitahara Sosuke smiled.

Kitano laughed a few times, poured him a glass of wine himself, and said: "According to your wishes, I have withdrawn Kitano Real Estate from the real estate market. Director Kitano said that we will follow you directly from now on, and there is no need to look for him again. , so what should we do next? To be honest, I am still a little unwilling to see consortiums injecting capital into the real estate market."

Kitahara Sosuke chuckled. It was normal to be unwilling. If the market continues to develop at this rate, by the end of the year, house prices are expected to be twice as high as at the beginning of the year. Withdrawing investment at this time would be equivalent to a loss of blood.

"I believe it won't be long before the housing market collapses. This is my personal judgment." Kitahara Sosuke took a sip of wine, and the girl in a miko costume behind her was massaging her body, seemingly unable to hear their conversation at all.

"Don't worry Aosuke. Although Sakura Shrine is the property of Itoman Co., Ltd., the girls on the second floor are brought by the banquet guests. I have placed these children in various shrines. They have been working as shrine maidens since they were young. They have not read Books, I haven’t met too many people, I only learned some things I need them to know.”

Kitano Takeshi glanced at the girls in miko uniforms with a smile,

Kitano Sosuke frowned and did not continue to delve into this topic, but continued to talk about his plan: "Kitano Real Estate is going to transform into logistics. With your size, it should not be difficult to quickly occupy Tokyo's share after the transformation. Yamato Transport will soon We will pay attention to this market and I hope the transformation will be completed this month."

"Aosuke plans to make it nationwide?" Now that Kitano Takeshi is here, he is mentally prepared to obey his command in everything. He is just curious about how vital the express delivery industry is to make Kithara Sosuke think it is okay. Beat the housing market!

"No, it's global." Kithara Sosuke smiled and took out the compiled information from his briefcase and handed it to Kitano Takeshi. "Here is a detailed transformation plan. I have commissioned Studio Ghibli to produce a promotional film, hoping to release it in theaters The transformation of the former Kitano Real Estate can be completed.”

He invested 1 billion in the name of Kitano Investment, and coupled with Kitano Real Estate's own size, it will start faster than Kitano Logistics in Tokyo.

After carefully reading through it, Kitano handed the plan to the girl behind him and nodded.

"After the Juliana Tokyo project is launched, I will apply for an investment quota, and I will inject capital in the name of Kitano Logistics." Kithara Sosuke came up with another amazing plan.

Kitano Takeshi's body was shocked. Did he even dare to intervene in the consortium's project?

"Aosuke, are you sure? Why wouldn't it be easier to get favored by investing in Kitano Logistics in the name of Kitano Logistics?"

"I have some relationship with Nissho Iwai. As for whether we can successfully invest in the shares, it still depends on how much money we pay. As for Kitano Logistics, I only have you in Tokyo now. If I use Kitano to invest, I have to come and open a branch. It's more Trouble." Kitahara Sosuke took out a cigarette and clicked it. The girl in a miko uniform holding a lighter in her hands respectfully lit the cigarette for him, with extremely sincere love and fascination in her eyes.

The real reason is, of course, that it is a rubbish project. How could his Beiyuan investment have such a stain?

I had no choice but to go to Kitano Logistics.

After talking about the business, the two chatted about trivial matters. Kitano Takeshi hoped that Kitano Ran would be with him to help him in the future, and he didn't care about his identity.

During the casual chat, Kithara Sosuke still felt that he was worried about the real estate market, but Kitano Takeshi is a man who can afford to take things and let them go. Now that he has identified him, he will not waver again.

After eating, the two took off their clothes and took a bath under the service of the girls. Not long after, Kitano Takeshi left the hot spring on the excuse of being tired, leaving only Kitahara Sosuke and the three girls who served him.

The girls also soaked in the hot springs with him, enjoying the silence of the moment. Kitahara Sosuke leaned against the smooth stone and looked at the ceiling, thinking about what to do next.

The real estate market was bound to collapse before the end of the year, but the intervention of a consortium that had never been heard of in his previous life was so overwhelming that even he himself doubted the accuracy of his memory.

After talking to Masao Kitahara several times before, Sosuke Kitahara finally clarified the conflicts within Tosan. Although the conservatives headed by President Shirakawa failed in the stock market decision-making, most of them came from within the Mitsubishi Group and all came from noble backgrounds. , still has an advantage in factional struggles.

The progressive faction headed by Director Gennai, some are elites who have climbed up from the middle level, and some are graduates from prestigious schools. The new wealthy families that have just emerged represent emerging forces. Their goal is to occupy more board seats and gradually suppress the conservatives. Send people.

Regarding the decision-making of this housing market, the two factions are quite consistent. With the consortium speaking out, they decided to be more aggressive in real estate loans even though they knew that the housing market bubble would collapse.

After all, the top management has more information channels. Once the consortium intends to evacuate, they will be the first people to know, and it will be easier to operate. They are unlikely to be cheated by overseas consortiums like the stock market.

How to recover the losses in the stock market during this wave and then gain more profits is their focus. Therefore, it would be suicidal to pour cold water on the board of directors.

Kitahara Masao is also in a dilemma, but he also said that as long as Kitahara Sosuke can prove the desirability of the special financing project, at least he can win the privileges and preferential treatment in this area.

For this reason, Kitahara Sosuke is determined to save Tosan by recovering bad debts in the housing market. The power struggle between the core factions is sometimes more important than Tosan's life and death.

Just like when Kiichi Miyazawa, then Prime Minister, completely ignored the national economy during his campaign for Prime Minister, which caused the bubble to inflate to this point, he was ultimately defeated. Ryutaro Hashimoto, who succeeded him, had to clean up the mess.

The position of the butt is different, and the things to consider will be different.

So what Kitahara Sosuke can do is to try his best to strengthen himself before the storm comes. As long as he starts his business and allows Kitahara Investment to stand out and become an integral member of the Tosan core club, his voice will naturally be greater.

The subsequent mergers were all about whoever had the bigger fist could speak. Since neither the progressives nor the conservatives could count on him, he would create his own Kitahara faction!

After all, Tosan is a behemoth. Even if the real estate market collapses, its size and Mitsubishi's early capital injection can always last three or four years. This is the perfect opportunity for him to move up and sit on the card table.

"Money, I need more money now. From the Gulf War, I must make a big profit." The corners of Kitahara Sosuke's mouth turned up slightly. Another reason why he was eager to start the express delivery industry was to make money.

30 billion alone is not enough. He needs to accumulate more capital, make a war fortune, and at the same time make enviable achievements in East China and win a higher position. Only then will he be qualified to enter the market after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He has already said that he has tried his best and tried, but since the inner circle of Dongsan is still seeking death, there is nothing he can do.

Just like the Chuo District branch, Kitahara Sosuke will not kneel down to help others when others are unwilling to do so. He just needs to do his part.

I hope that when the bad debts explode, Asano Naoto will not cry so much that he just asks for help.

Kitahara Sosuke exhaled a breath of white air and reached for the cigarette. The girl had already handed it over with the cigarette.
