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

News of the Tosan Osaka Chuo Ward Branch Financing Lesson's aggressive collection of real estate-related loans spread in Chuo District. It is clear that the Sanwa Consortium is going to invest new funds in the Osaka metropolitan area, but they are actually trying to forcefully recover the loans. "Borrowing an Umbrella on a Sunny Day" The saying "shut up your umbrella on rainy days" continues to spread, but Kitahara Sosuke always has his own way to force those customers to sell their properties and repay their loans.

Within a few days, Kitahara Sosuke's title as the "Devil Section Chief of East Production" spread, and many people felt a headache when they saw him step into their homes.

On the other hand, the special financing project was also publicized by Takeuchi Rubber and other three companies, attracting a group of manufacturing company presidents to visit. Most of them were struggling to support themselves. With the collapse of the stock market and the economic downturn, the situation became increasingly difficult, but they still No banks or financial institutions are willing to help.

Recently, Kitahara Logistics' express delivery business has just started, so Kitahara Sosuke had to worry more about it, so he handed over the review of special financing projects to Fujiwara Norika.

The assistant Norika Fujiwara, who is now the deputy head of the department, is also growing rapidly. Occasionally, Kyoko Kobayashi and Saeko Sakurai will come over to help after get off work. She is one of the few people in the branch who still stands in Kitahara Sosuke's camp.

Before the middle of the month, other classrooms were still worried about the adverse social impact of excessive loan repayment. However, with the voices and capital injections from major consortiums, the resurgent real estate market gave them a shot in the arm, and they were able to start incremental business. No mercy.

The atmosphere in the branch has quietly changed again, and there are some doubts about Kitahara Sosuke. But now Fujiwara Norika and the others are used to it. It was the same last year. Didn't the section chief give them a "good look"?

In mid-March, Hiroshi Uchida, the president of Nissho Iwai, a trading company affiliated with the Sanwa Foundation, personally came forward and invested 1 trillion yen from more than ten trading companies affiliated with the Sanwa Foundation, including Nissho Iwai, into the Osaka metropolitan area. The next day, Osaka housing prices The surge of 50% excited financial practitioners and despaired the public.

At the same time, taking advantage of the popularity of the real estate market, Hiroshi Uchida dropped another blockbuster. Nissho Iwai will develop an entertainment project covering an area of ​​1,200 square meters in the Shibaura area of ​​Tokyo's Minato District - Juliana Tokyo Nightclub. !

Judging from the concept drawings released, this luxurious nightclub is indeed shocking enough, especially in the 1990s, I am afraid it will set off a nightclub disco trend!

While radio broadcasts from various places were hyping these things, Kitahara Sosuke was sitting in his Raysax and smoking leisurely.

Takeshi Kitano was too busy last week. This time he chose a Saturday to go to the appointment. The driver was Ran Kitano who was dressed in a sexy outfit. She wore a vacuum sweater and a small leather skirt that covered her hips. The black stockings that symbolized the mature charm of a woman covered her two snow-white lengths. The legs are wrapped, which is very eye-catching.

Kitano Ran is very smart, and she especially knows how to please a man. From her dressing to her service skills, nothing can be compared with the films of girls like Fujiwara Norika and others. Speaking of which, she is really a perfect lover template.

She also seems to enjoy the relationship between the two, catering to Kitahara Sosuke while never asking for anything.

"President, you are really awesome. You put 'service first, profit second'. You have guaranteed delivery to the Osaka area the next day, and you pay attention to package protection. Just relying on these concepts, Kitahara Logistics really became popular all of a sudden." Kitano Ran was a little complimentary, but most of her feelings came from the bottom of her heart.

Less than a week after the launch of the express delivery business, Kitahara Logistics has almost monopolized the unattended private parcel delivery field in Osaka. When it was popular, the number of parcels picked up in one day exceeded 10,000!

The number of private parcels was so large that Kitano Lan had not expected it. This shows that this demand has always existed among the people, but there was no club to do it before. The slow speed, poor service attitude and high parcel damage rate of state-owned enterprises led to This industry has been flooded!

Another groundbreaking creative approach of Kitahara Sosuke is to place express delivery and delivery points at those ubiquitous 7-11 convenience stores and FamilyMart, instead of setting up dedicated delivery points like state-owned enterprises and Yamato Transport. center.

In this way, with the promotion of convenience store clerks and numerous outlets, it instantly became famous.

In addition, there are so many innovative ideas such as the first order is free, the second order is 50% off, and exclusive members of Kitahara Logistics can enjoy better services. Kitano Ran even feels that it is a pity that Kitahara Sosuke does not go into business.

But to this man, it seemed that these were just random little things, and he didn't even care!

Kitano Sosuke smiled softly. It is normal for Kitano Ran to be so shocked. The explosion of the express delivery industry in later generations is simply beyond the imagination of people of this era. The various advanced concepts and innovative thinking that have developed along with it are naturally powerful beyond the times. sex.

He was the first to intervene in this market. By the time other companies reacted, he had already made a lot of money. The hundreds of millions of yen he had invested in 7-11 and FamilyMart for the outlets were not worth mentioning at all.

"This is just the beginning. Because the bustling area of ​​the Central District is relatively crowded, we need to use cart delivery and manual delivery. Violent sorting is strictly prohibited. We must protect customers' packages. When we grow in the future, we can also intervene in moving and luggage For transportation, pet transportation and other businesses, Kitano Logistics may be more valuable than Kitano Real Estate within a few years.”

Kithara Sosuke smiled faintly,

"Do your best, Xiaolan, haven't you always wanted to get rid of your identity as a Yakuza and start your own business? Then start by helping me manage Beiyuan Logistics."

"Haiyi~" Kitano Lan was ecstatic. This meant that she was entrusted with Kithara Logistics. She must serve him well tonight with new tricks and make him happy, so that she can continue to stay by his side and be used highly by him. .

An hour later, Lexax docked in the suburbs of Tokyo.

No. 1-4-25, Kajino-machi, Koganei City, Tokyo, is a house with a rather trendy decoration. There is a sign of "Studio Ghibli" hanging on it. People walking inside can be seen through the transparent protective glass.

Kitano Lan looked at this small house curiously. It seemed to be the studio where the president mentioned that animation movies were produced?

Such studios are located all over the suburbs of Tokyo, founded by young people with dreams. Most of them have just graduated from college, hoping to enter the increasingly prosperous animation industry and leave their names.

It's a pity that Tokyo's bustling city is full of dead bones. They will soon see the cruel side of this first city, and finally they will be unable to endure the hardship and retreat.

Why would the president take a fancy to such a little-known small studio? And he even came to discuss it in person.

She followed Kitahara Sosuke into Studio Ghibli.

"Hello, I'm Kitahara Sosuke, who I made an appointment with before." Kitahara Sosuke took out his gold-gilded business card and handed it to the girl at the front desk.

As soon as the girl saw the words "Eastern Products" on it, she immediately showed a bright smile: "Hello, Section Chief Kitahara, please come inside, Mr. Miyazaki and the others are waiting for you."

What a young bank section manager!

When the three middle-aged men sitting in the back room, Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takada and Toshio Suzuki, saw Sosuke Kitahara, they all said similar words in their hearts.

Tokuma Shoten's failure to fund the transformation of Studio Ghibli into a limited company is very hurtful to them. Although they produced two high-quality animated films, "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies" last year, the lack of transformation means that it is difficult for them to transform. Tokuma Bookstore had no real stable source of income at this time, and several major banks in Tokyo were rejected.

Hayao Miyazaki looked at the smiling young man and stood up first: "Chief Kitahara, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice. I am Hayao Miyazaki."

"Hello, Mr. Miyazaki, I was deeply shocked after watching your production of "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies" last year. I have always wanted to meet you in person." Kitahara Sosuke returned the greeting.

After the two were polite, they turned the topic to the issue of financing. During the period, they talked about something about animation. Kitahara Sosuke talked so eloquently that Miyazaki was extremely shocked.

Kitano Lan was even more confused. He was obviously reading some current affairs news every time he pleased him. He had never seen him watching anime in the past few days, so how could he talk so coherently.

And it seemed to be really thoughtful, which shocked the animation award-winning expert in front of me.

Kithara Sosuke secretly laughed in his heart. In his previous life, he liked to watch Japanese comics. It was a daily pastime after work. He has watched all the movies of Master Hayao Miyazaki. Now that he is standing in front of him, he proposes it first. Naturally, it fits Miyazaki Hayao's style. Ideas and concepts.

I originally thought that Kitahara Sosuke, like those bank section chiefs who were about the same age as me, valued the economic benefits that the studio could bring more. After detailed discussions, Miyazaki discovered that this young man knew as much about anime as he did. He really wants to do well in this industry.

With this foreshadowing, Kitahara Sosuke's proposal to incorporate Studio Ghibli into Kitahara Investment was easily accepted.

In the previous life, Studio Ghibli finally separated from Tokuma Shoten. It was simply that the latter was not large enough to support the master's dream pursuit, and it would always be affected by being controlled by others. But the creator hates other people's arbitrariness the most. interfere with one's own work.

One point that Sosuke Kitahara put forward was that he contributed the capital and Miyazaki was fully responsible. He only occupies one director seat of Ghibli Co., Ltd. Of course, if it goes public in the future, it will naturally be included in him, just like other companies that acquire holdings. in the financial system.

Hayao Miyazaki didn't think too much about what happened next. As long as he had enough funds and the other party didn't interfere with his creation, he would have no problem. Moreover, Sosuke Kitahara and he had quite a topic and were of the same mind.

In the end, Sosuke Kitahara came up with the idea of ​​"Kiki's Delivery Service", but he hoped that he could make a promotional film suitable for Kitahara Logistics. The film later exploded at the box office, earning 2.17 billion in box office at a cost of less than 7 million yen, and won awards. Countless, the publicity effect on Yamato Transportation is very significant.

Therefore, he has great confidence in Hayao Miyazaki, as long as the film is released as soon as possible.

"Haha, this idea of ​​Section Chief Kitahara is similar to my recent inspiration. Since you are willing to help us with funding, I will try my best to cooperate with your Kitahara Logistics promotion of this movie." Hayao Miyazaki beamed, "I have talked with you and solved the problem. I have solved a lot of doubts in my mind. If Section Chief Kitahara does not work in the banking industry in the future, he will definitely be outstanding in animation production!"

"Mr. Miyazaki, I'm sorry, I'll leave the movie to you!" Kithara Sosuke stood up, bowed, and left with Kitano Ran with a smile.

After walking out of the studio, Kitano Lancai asked in a low voice: "President, can this movie really have a good publicity effect? ​​How about we put some ads on the TV station?"

"No, this is enough for now." Kitahara Sosuke didn't say much, but he thought with a smile in his heart. If later, you want this master to tailor a promotional video for your company, I don't know how much it will cost. Not necessarily willing to do so.

"Umi Tsubasa~" Kitano Lan nodded, got in the car, and drove him towards downtown Tokyo. At a high-end izakaya in Chiyoda District, his father had been waiting for a long time.

Returning to Tokyo and looking at the familiar bustling scene, she felt happy and couldn't help humming a song by Akina Nakamori.

Hearing the familiar melody, Kitahara Sosuke then remembered that the ancestral singer of the Showa and Heisei era had committed suicide not long ago and was probably in a period of recuperation. He smiled and gave up the idea of ​​contacting Akina Nakamori for the time being.

As long as we are destined, we can always meet. Now he still has a lot of things to do.
