Chapter 306: Fatal Blow

There was a kind of urgency in Iori Murakami's voice, unlike the steady white bone spirit style she usually has, Chihara Rin was surprised and a little confused, and while walking towards the TV, he asked, "What happened?"

Iori Murakami didn't answer, but some small voices came from her phone, as if she was arguing with her subordinates.

Chihara Rin is even more unclear so, directly turned on the TV, and was about to change to the NHK channel first, this TV station pays more attention to the news, but was directly attracted by the sound coming from the TV - the latest news, following more than ten banks such as Changxin Bank, Hokkaido Kaido, Kyushu Center, etc., the First Bank of Kanto has also been exposed to have a large number of non-performing assets, that is, holding a large amount of land that is depreciating continuously, and more than 50% of the money loaned out before has not been recovered, and there are a bunch of bad debts.

Another unlucky guy has been discovered......

Rin Chihara took a few looks, and it was not surprising that he probably understood what was going on, and in the past week or so, there has been a lot of this kind of news, and it is basically turning over old and bad accounts, and it will be like that if you see too much.

He casually changed the first channel of several major TV stations one by one, and found that they were all talking about the unlucky ghosts that had just been exposed, except for the East Timor United Television Station - the TV station he worked for was broadcasting TV shopping programs, and a man and a woman were working hard to promote dish soap and pans, and they were obviously not very enthusiastic about making news.

Rin Chihara stared at the TV shopping show a few times, which is the style of the Kanto Union, and he couldn't say anything, holding his phone and asking, "Hey, hey, Miss Murakami, what do you want me to watch?"

I didn't find any news worth paying attention to, even if the bank was going to fail, it was the government's business, and we didn't need to worry about it.

Iori Murakami finally replied, and her voice sounded a little dry: "The news of the First Bank of Kanto should be on the air now, haven't you seen it?"

"See, but what am I doing with this?"

Iori Murakami seemed to be so angry that he couldn't speak, and he choked for a long time before he couldn't speak: "The First Bank of Kanto is the main financing bank and shareholder of "Yueben Economic News", and it has been cooperating for decades, and "Yueben Economic News" is one of the shareholding institutions of our TV station. ”

Bastard, you know that the TV station has a bank faction, but you don't care where the roots of the bank faction are?

Rin Chihara was stunned, this is a problem with the bank that the TV station's superior newspaper relied on?

If the Kanto Dai-ichi Bank is exposed to serious business problems, and in order to preserve itself, it will carry out strategic contraction, then it is naturally impossible for the "Yueben Economic News", which is both prosperous and loss-making, to just watch it play with eggs, and there is a high probability that it will supply blood, and the newspaper will naturally draw blood from the TV station when it begins to lack blood......

It doesn't seem like much, isn't it prepared!

It's just a bit of an error, I thought it was a newspaper group that was impacted, but now it's the same with a bank, and the TV station won't die if it is pumped blood.

Chihara Rin didn't care, and smiled directly: "What's the matter, our budget is in our hands, it can't affect us, right?"

Iori Murakami didn't think so, although she admired the foresight of Rin Chihara, but now was not the time to express her admiration, and immediately said: "It's not directly related to us, but it has something to do with Director Shiga." ”

"Ayumi Shiga?"

Rin Chihara was stunned, and immediately reacted - Shiga Ayumi is at the critical period of preparing to be promoted to director, and according to the ruling policy he announced, he is ready to do a big job, but if he doesn't have money, how can he do a big job?

Moreover, if the banks and newspaper groups all have to carry out strategic contractions, it is necessary to say whether they will support him as the director of the station, and it is estimated that one of them will come to power.

This is a major blow to Shiga, and possibly even fatal.

Rin Chihara had expected that the financial turmoil might have an impact on the superior newspaper group, but he had not expected that Kiyoshi Takemoto, the head of the company, would suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage, let alone that the financial storm would come when Shiga Ayumu was one step away from the head of the companyβ€”he had been watching the excitement for more than a week before, and he really didn't think about it from Shiga's point of view.

After all, the situation was quite good before, the TV station and the newspaper group were not affected, and no one expected that the affiliated bank would have a problem.

His face was also serious, and he pondered for a while and asked, "Is the problem of First Bank serious?"

"I inquired about it, and it seemed serious, and the news was not overly exaggerated. ”

"Is it possible to be like Kansai Nagashin Bank?" Rin Chihara also felt a little disturbed, this was a big deviation from the situation expected before, I only thought that the newspaper group was affected to a certain extent, but now it is the affiliated bank that has been greatly impacted, and it is estimated that the blood drawn from the TV station will be even stronger.

"It's not that serious, but it's definitely going to drop its creditworthiness and a lot of savers will leave, at least for a while. Iori Murakami is also a little irritated, she wants to be stable and stable now that she is doing well, and she is extremely disgusted by anything that may cause turmoil: "Damn, I don't know how long this storm will last." ”

Three or four months of hurricane period, and then the situation will gradually start to improve, and after a year and a half it will return to normal, but Chihara Rin can't tell Murakami Iori, because after all, there are still differences between the two worlds, and it's not impossible to come here for two or three years, thought about it and said: "It's useless for us to be in a hurry, it depends on how Shiga Ayumi responds." ”

"Chihara, you...... Would you like to give him a phone call and ask? If he is going to change course, we need to be prepared. ”

As soon as the incident happened, I called my superiors to ask questions, maybe a little too urgent, Murakami Iori was a little unsure, but I really couldn't feel at ease without asking her - the environment has changed, if Shiga Ayumi still adheres to the previous policy, it may cause the resentment of the newspaper faction and the bank faction, but the change of policy, Shiga Ayumi said before, may be promised to other factions, and now if you regret it, I am afraid that there will not be much prestige left.

Things suddenly got a bit of a dilemma......

Rin Chihara naturally understands the importance of this matter, after all, they can be semi-independent warlords on Kanto United Television, and it is backed by the big tree of Shiga Ayumi, and if the big tree falls, they will suffer huge losses.

He immediately said, "Let me ask, you wait a minute, I'll call you again." ”

He directly ended the call and called Shiga Ayumi's personal mobile phone again, but the line was busy, and there should be many people looking for him. Chihara Rin waited for a while, then pulled it again, this time it was connected, but Shiga Ayuki had a guest by his side, so he couldn't say anything to him, just so that Chihara Rin had time to go to his house.

Chihara Rin naturally has no opinion, this is a big deal, it is better to talk in person, immediately call Murakami Iori and ask her to pick up people, and then go to Ningzi to prepare a souvenir - the matter is very serious, but to visit the boss, politeness can not be lost.

…………

Murakami Iori came quickly, and was shocked to see the mansion of Rin Chihara.

She has always been committed to maintaining a working relationship with Chihara Rinto, only intimate at work, but she doesn't want to develop an office romance with him that goes beyond friendship - not that she doesn't like Chihara Rinto, in fact, she has a good impression of a man like Chihara Rinto, who respects women, but she regards her career as life, and she doesn't want to ruin it because of her personal feelings, even if the relationship is good, she has never invited Chihara Rin to her house, let alone entered Chihara Rinto's house, but she has heard rumors such as "Master bought a big house" from Konoe Hitomi.

Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I was really surprised.

This guy only had a decent set of clothes three years ago, and he was extremely embarrassed, and now he has bought such a big house in the center of the city? This must be four or five hundred million, right?

According to this guy's income, he shouldn't be able to save so much, and I haven't seen him embezzle......

However, she didn't ask anything, and she was very taboo to inquire about other people's income, which was regarded as a great offense, so she pretended to be unaware and pulled Rin Chihara away, and soon rushed to Shiga's house.

Shiga Ayuki also has money, but he lives in a high-rise luxury apartment, depending on the location and year, this house should be worth about 200 million yen now, which is equivalent to the money of an ordinary person who does not eat or drink for a lifetime - his annual income should not be lost to Chihara Rinto, or it should be said that Chihara Rin has been working for three years, and it is equivalent to the income of Shiga Ayumi this old guy with royalties, which is a bit powerful.

In the relationship is not close to a certain extent, I will not invite people to the house, Chihara Rin and Murakami Iori This is also the first time to come to Shiga's house, after a rough look at the exterior of the building, then take the direct elevator to the front of Shiga Butao's house.

This floor is all his house, and Ayumi Shiga is talking to people in the study, and Ayumi Shiga's wife welcomes them into the tea room for hospitality - a housewife with a slightly fat figure, but she doesn't seem to be married to Ayumi Shiga, and she feels like a big beauty when she was young.

At least a beauty of Izumi Yuko's level.

Rin Chihara gave them a souvenir, but Shiga Miko treated them very kindly, behaved quite generously, and was quite well educated at first glance, and said with a smile while pouring him tea: "Chihara-sensei, Miss Murakami, I finally saw you, and the child's father often mentions you at home." ”

Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami were very polite: "All along, I have been taken care of by Director Shiga." ”

"Where, it was you who helped him a lot, and he kept saying that it was a great blessing for the TV station to have you. Shiga Miko poured the tea and knelt down opposite them to accompany the guests, and said with a smile: "Please continue to support him in the future, his life's work has been spent on Kanto Economic Television." ”

"Of course. "Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami naturally have nothing to say, and the boss's wife is also half a boss!

They chatted for a while, Shiga Miko didn't talk to them about any work matters, only said some parents' shortcomings, asked about the situation at home, and talked about firewood, rice, and oil, and then they heard movement outside the teahouse, and it seemed that Shiga Ayuki was sending off guests, so she got up and apologized and went to ask her husband to come over.

As soon as she left, Rin Chihara whispered to Iori Murakami, "She used to work at Kanto Economic Television?"

Before the merger of the Kanto United Agency, it was called the Kanto Economic Television Station, and he was obedient to hear it, while Iori Murakami knew more about gossip, so he directly helped him determine it, and said in a low voice: "That's right, Mrs. Shiga used to be a news anchor of the Kanto Economic Channel, and she retired after getting married, and then it took a few years for the Kanto United Television Station to officially merge and be established." ”

When she said this, she glanced at Chihara Rinto, her mother had always encouraged her to date Chihara Rinto, but if she got married, nine times out of ten it would be the end of Shiga Miko - she went home to see the child, and kept calling "the child his father", which was not the life she longed for.

Perhaps most women will think that it is a good thing to marry Rin Chihara, the golden beetle son-in-law, but this will only make her afraid.

Chihara Rin nodded, Shiga Ayumi followed a generation of Metakemoto Kiyoshi from a small radio station to a big TV station, he knew this, but he really didn't expect that even his wife was sent by the TV station...... It should have been haired, otherwise it seems unlikely that he would find such a beautiful wife with his short and fat figure and obese appearance.

Could it be an unspoken rule?

If you hadn't met Ning Zi's fate, I guess you should have found a female anchor, right? It seems that it is very popular to marry a female anchor, after all, they are all selected by college flowers, and their academic qualifications and appearance are all first-class.

He was there speculating about his boss's family relationship, and Shiga Ayumi came, looking in good spirits, and greeted with a smile: "It's really rude, let the two of you wait for so long." ”

"Where, we are so bothered. ”

It is said that this has always been polite, and there are a lot of false words, and there is no way to do it, but fortunately, Shiga Ayumi didn't treat them as outsiders, and after being a little polite, he said: "It's for the First Bank?"

Chihara Rin didn't want to go around in circles, after all, he shared interests, so he asked directly, "I heard that it's serious?"

Shiga's expression also became serious: "That's right, as far as I know, it is very serious, the First Bank is currently seriously lacking liquidity, and has asked for help from the "Yue Jing Bao" group, and the "Yue Jing Bao" has also agreed to do its best to help them tide over the difficulties, in exchange for some shares held by the bank and some future benefits. ”

He paused, then smiled again: "You actually want to ask if the future development plan of the TV station will be affected, right?"

"Yes. ”

Shiga immediately looked at them intently and asked, "What do you think of it?"

Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami glanced at each other, and Iori Murakami said cautiously: "If there is a change, we can understand." ”

This is the case, and it is indeed understandable, although if the TV station enters a state of financial crunch, even if they have a sum of money in hand, it will not be affected for the time being, but it will be difficult to say next year - no money does not mean that they can't produce good programs, but the difficulty will definitely increase exponentially.

Cutting budgets is something that no producer wants to see, and sometimes even desperately because of it.

Of course, if Shiga Abu is brought down because of this, it will be even worse, so it is not impossible to change the lesser of two evils.

Shiga Ayumu was a little relieved after looking at their expressions carefully, but shook his head and said softly: "Yes, it can be changed, but I don't plan to change what I have already said, I have joined our TV station for nearly 20 years, and I have been working hard with Director Takemoto, and it has always been my dream to make the TV station bigger and stronger, and in the past two years, we have finally begun to produce results, and we are almost at the door, so I can't give up at this time...... In particular, Director Takemoto has fallen ill, and if I give up, I can't explain to him, and if he can wake up, I won't be able to see him again. ”

Iori Murakami had a worried expression, and it was certainly a good thing to insist on her own ideas, but the banking faction and the newspaper faction were both big factions, and if they were provoked......

Rin Chihara also wanted to persuade a little, but he had nothing to say.

The two years of the Kanto Union's comprehensive austerity, but the two years of the golden age of TV programs, it is a pity to waste, and although Shiga's words are very emotional, they are actually very practical - the five Tokyo faction, the sales department, the operation department, and the production bureau are willing to support Shiga Ayumi to become the director because his idea can benefit the TV station as a whole, and everyone wants to become bigger and stronger, so they will naturally support him, and if Shiga Ayumi helps the bank and the newspaper group draw blood from the TV station, then in the eyes of these people, they are traitors to the TV station.

No one will support a traitor!

Maybe we should take a look at the situation first? Let Shiga Ayumu try it first?

It's his business, after all.

The two of them couldn't tell whether Shiga's decision was right or not, so they didn't speak, and they were silent for a minute, and Murakami Iori asked his worries and said tentatively: "If the bank faction and the newspaper faction start to oppose you......

Shiga Ayumi took a deep breath and said firmly and forcefully: "Don't worry, our performance in the past two years has been very good, if they want to withdraw excessive funds from the TV station, it is a short-sighted behavior, I am confident that I will convince them!"

He is a TV person, the TV station is his foundation, and making the Kanto United bigger and stronger is the goal he pursues all his life, he will not tolerate being pulled away by the Big Four for another year or two years, and the ghost knows the gap of a few years, let alone accept that his faction is centrifugal and detached to the point that it begins to disintegrate.

He had to convince the banks and newspaper groups.
