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

The crowds in the various entertainment venues that used to be prosperous in the past are obviously much smaller, but the most popular ones are various financial institutions, banks, securities companies, credit banks and the only two stock exchanges in Japan, which are busy from morning to night. Office workers in a hurry.

The Bank of Japan raised interest rates to 6%, financial groups gave up and evacuated the stock market one after another, and the darkest and longest bear market in history began.

After January 31st, the Weekly Economic Index plummeted 3,000 points for one consecutive week, approaching the 15,000-point mark. In just one week, more than 20 stocks were delisted. In the Osaka area alone, hundreds of small and medium-sized companies closed down. Nishi-ku, Osaka, which is well-known for its industry, is in an unprecedented dilemma.

Several of the most famous local steel manufacturing companies declared bankruptcy. Their collapse suddenly brought down several private credit companies. Kansai City Commercial Bank, which had close cooperation with them, had a deficit of nearly 10 billion. After the news leaked, the local Residents ran frantically to bank branches to withdraw money.

Thanks to the emergency allocation of 10 billion yen from Tosan Osaka Nishi Branch, Kansai Castle Bank was able to survive the run.

And that's just the beginning of the economic collapse.

Various similar scenes were staged one after another across Japan, and an unprecedented storm was brewing and spreading.

Osaka Chuo-ku, Yamada Group Headquarters.

Manzaburo Ito was sitting at a low table drinking sake. Facing him, more than a dozen key members of the Yamada group starting from Masamune Yamada were lined up, maintaining a ninety-degree bow for more than half an hour.

Sweat dropped from Yamada Masamune's forehead drop by drop. From the time this big man entered the house to now, he hadn't said a word, but there was a desperate sense of depression filling the air.

"Do you know how important those 4 billion real estate properties are?" Manzaburo Ito knocked on the table with his hand, looking unkind, "Because of your stupidity, I had to personally come forward to redeem them with the people of Sanwa, and also I have to pretend that I want to ask Sanhe for a piece of the pie!”

Among those 4 billion properties, the really important ones are which ones. Even Yamada Masamune himself doesn't know which ones they are. He only knows that those properties often have big people who he can't even imagine attending parties, and they are extremely hidden. , even Ito Mansaburo was not qualified to participate.

The only one he knew was that he belonged to the son of a big shot in the Sumitomo Consortium. The playboy had a good relationship with Yo Yamada for a time, so he stored the villa under the Yamada-gumi's name. However, I heard that he recently had a relationship with Inoue Logistics. Inoue Hiko gets closer, while Yamada Yo is caught up in the fanatical desire to make money and no longer hangs out with these playboys.

Instead, he hoped that his incompetent son could hang out with the heirs of such big shots. Letting Yamada Yang do business would be even more unreliable than letting him study.

Yamada Masamune didn't expect that his most trusted Uchikai Sukekai would betray him. Not only did he misappropriate the Kamina gold to the fool Yamada Yo, he also revealed the background of the Yamada group to Kitahara Sosuke!

There is always something strange about these things.

Looking at the bare palm of his left hand, wrapped in white gauze, with no fingers left, he pressed his body lower.

"Did the finance manager named Utsumi Suke say anything?" Ito Manzaburo didn't know that it was the 2 billion relief fund he requested from the Yamada-gumi that completely destroyed the society, and Yamada Masamune didn't dare to throw away the property. Put the pot on his head.

Uchisuke told Kitahara Sosuke all the outrageous things the Yamada-gumi did when they took over the real estate. He used this to blackmail the Yamada-gumi and earn 4 billion in real estate. These dirty things were also taboo for Ito Manzaburo.

Uchisuke, the "initiator", has been cut into a stick, poured into a cement pillar, and became part of a new building in Tokyo.

Yamada Masamune shook his head. This was also what confused him the most. After being made like that, Uchikaisuke insisted that he had done nothing.

Who else but him could reveal such a secret!

"I'm afraid there are big people behind the scenes," Yamada Masamune replied.

Ito Manzaburo frowned. He was more worried that the other party's real target was not the Yamada group and himself, but the big guys related to the real estate behind them.

"No matter who it is, you should investigate it for me. In addition, all the losses caused by the Yamada group will be put on your head, so you can take care of yourself. Masamune, if it was just a matter of cutting off a few fingers, I wouldn't come here. .”

Manzaburo Ito sneered,

"From today on, the Yamada-gumi will no longer have any relationship with Itoman Co., Ltd."

Watching him walk out of the lobby step by step, and after his back disappeared, Yamada Masamune slowly straightened up, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

His waist was almost broken after bowing for a long time. Irie who was on the side rushed over to help him: "Dad."

"Ah Masamune, you also heard what Executive Man Ito said. No matter who betrayed our Yamada group, you have to find out for me. We can't bear this stigma!" Masamune Yamada grabbed his hand, his voice was stern and sad. , "Only by finding this answer can we return to glory. Without the help of Managing Director Ito Man, the Yamada group will be completely destroyed!"

"Yes! Dad." Irie nodded and bowed.

He ran out of the lobby with others, and Yamada Yang, the only one left, looked at his back with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.

After leaving the Yamada group, Irie sent his men around randomly and strolled towards the Giraffe Nightclub. Are you kidding me to catch that traitor?

Did he catch himself?

Part of the top-secret information about the Yamada group was provided by Chiyoko Utsumi, and the other part was given to Kitahara Sosuke by him.

The reason is simple.

When he closes his eyes every night, he can always think of the ordinary people who died innocently and tragically because they refused to sell their houses. He is an extreme villain, not a murderer.

He couldn't accept those things, the sins.

Manzaburo Ito came today. He couldn't quite understand what he said, but he subconsciously felt that it might be very useful and he must inform Mr. Kitahara immediately.

Princess Ishihara Hana, who was hanging out in the Giraffe Nightclub, was smoking a lady's cigarette and dressed in a hot outfit. When she saw the stern man who suddenly appeared at the door, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly and she twisted her waist and walked over.

"Let's go to your house."

"Huh? I'm still on it."

"I'll give you one hundred thousand yen." Irie was looking at her.

"Tsk, wait for me." Ishiharahua glanced at him, went back to get her handbag, and walked with him towards a shabby apartment.

She rents in an urban village in the downtown area. The place has not yet been demolished and the rent is expensive, but it gives people a sense of security.

Back at the rental house, Ishihara Hana skillfully took off her jacket, vest, skirt, and underwear. Then she saw Irie Masahiro and ran to the landline to make a call.

Good guy, this 100,000 is just to use her phone?

It seems to have been like this a few times before. As he was doing it, he suddenly got up and made a phone call. This stupid man really didn't know how to please women.

Ishiharaka picked up her clothes, took out another cigarette from her pocket, and then let out a "ha" sound.

Looking at his serious face on the phone, he suddenly smiled.

Is this the reason why you like this gangster?

It's really boring.

After receiving the call, Kitahara Sosuke fell into deep thought. After asking Irie to pay attention to his own safety, he looked at the piles of 10,000-yuan bills piled up like a hill on the table and suddenly smiled.

Interesting, interesting.

Ito Manzaburo's real target was the Yamada-gumi's real estate. He had guessed this, but now he saw that the water inside was deeper than imagined.

The house that is not allowed to be approached by the Yamada group, the house that would rather commit a heinous murder than to buy it, the house that makes Manzaburo Ito not hesitate to come forward to offend the Sanwa Foundation, what is the secret?

"Snapped!"

A bundle of banknotes flew out of his hand, making a beautiful trajectory, falling to the ground, hitting a stack of banknotes, and then countless banknotes fell down like dominoes.

There were tens of thousands of yen bills everywhere on the floor, on the sofa, and in the room.

He got up and left the apartment in a rain of money.

It's time to pick up the pieces.

Itoman incident: Itoman is a family business founded in 1883. It mainly deals in fiber products and was once listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Stock Exchange. In 1990, Japanese media reported that Ito Man received loans totaling 1.2 trillion yen from banks in order to gain experience and invest in real estate development business. These funds were transferred many times and flowed into the hands of Xu Yongzhong, the former president of Dadian Construction through complex money laundering techniques. Xu Yongzhong is of Korean descent in Japan. He once served as the bodyguard and driver of Japan's largest gangster after World War II. He later became the president of Dado Construction and had many contacts with violent gangs such as the Yamaguchi-gumi. It is said that Xu Yongzhong took 36 billion from Ito Wan's books, and used the latter to obtain more than 300 billion in funds from Sumitomo Bank. Xu Yongzhong was prosecuted and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment in 2005. He was released on parole in September this year. The whereabouts of the above-mentioned funds are still unknown.

Since the Ito Man incident was exposed, in the spring of 1993, there have been more than ten shooting cases in the residences of many senior executives of the Sumitomo Group. Even the branch in front of Yokohama Station was shot. On September 14, 1994, the director of Sumitomo Bank and the head of the Nagoya branch was shot to death in his high-end apartment (shot in the back of the head, gang execution style). Since there were more financial brokers involved in the Ito Man incident than the Nagoya branch, it was rumored that the branch manager was killed because of this, but it ended up being an unsolved case.
