826 [Set on fire].
As a strongman in Osaka, Ichiro Okamoto has always wanted to be a soil emperor quietly.
He doesn't have much ambition, like many Osaka people, he lives a casual life and likes to enjoy, plus he has self-knowledge and knows that he is not an opponent of the three major consortia even if he uses both hands and feet, so Ichiro Okamoto is very hard now.
If you offend the three major consortia and ignore their bans, then Okamoto Co., Ltd. will definitely suffer five thunderous retaliations next.
Okamoto guessed right.
Within a week, things began to happen at his various properties, with pachinko rooms being raided and many gambling machines being confiscated by the police.
His dance halls are constantly being reported for illegal activities, and there are also illegal drugs for sale in bars.
In short, Okamoto's companies are in a mess.
At the same time, the major banks that had been close to Okamoto suddenly changed their faces and demanded that Okamoto repay the loan early.
This is going to kill Okamoto.
You must know that Ichiro Okamoto, like many speculative businessmen, has always borrowed bank money to make a fortune.
He borrowed money from the bank and invested in various properties, such as pachinko, dance halls, karaoke and bars, which he specializes in.
He borrowed a lot, more than a billion dollars in rough calculations, and at the moment, those banks let him borrow at the same time, which is equivalent to directly choking his throat.
Ichiro Okamoto had no choice but to keep calling those bank bosses and asking for a few more days. said that he would not owe the debt.
But those bank bigwigs are like Wang Ba eating scales and hammering hard, and the film and television are faster than him to repay the money, because everyone heard that the three major consortia are going to collectively sanction Gangben.
Ichiro Okamoto is really forced to be anxious now.
In desperation, he had to raise money everywhere and temporarily sell his car, house, and some calligraphy and paintings, but these things are almost a drop in the bucket, after all, one billion dollars is not a small amount.
At this moment, Okamoto regretted receiving Song Zhichao's $300 million worth of Tokyo real estate, if those were all cash, he could use it for emergencies.
It's a pity that now Okamoto and Song Zhichao have signed a contract of three billion US dollars a month, but the distant water can't save the near fire, and he may die in less than a month.
At this moment, in addition to the bank collection, the Osaka government led by Natsume Taihui also began to counterattack him.
As the mayor of Osaka City, Natsume Taihui has long been unhappy with Okamoto, the emperor of the soil, and now it is rare for Okamoto to fall, and he still does not beat the water dogs.
Under the leadership of Mayor Natsume, the Osaka City Taxation Bureau, the Osaka City Police Department, the Osaka City Inspection Service and other administrative departments began to carry out a crazy liquidation operation against Okamoto Co., Ltd.
In just three days, Ichiro Okamoto was found to have committed many illegal acts, and only after relying on the defense of the barrister and the bail of up to hundreds of millions of dollars did Ichiro Okamoto temporarily walk out of the court safely.
At this time, most of the month has passed.
While Ichiro Okamoto was busy finding a lawyer to defend himself, many of his real estate properties were ordered to be auctioned off by the government because of debts.
The industry, which was originally worth more than four billion, was finally auctioned off by a mysterious capital that spent one billion, temporarily repaying Okamoto's debts to major banks.
Therefore, when Ichiro Okamoto walked out of the court, his entire net worth, which was originally billions of his own family, had shrunk by more than half.
Okamoto thought that this was all the sanctions and punishments imposed on him by the three major consortia, and his assets were also taken away by the three major consortia, especially the Mitsui Group--- who let himself move the property of the prince in Tokyo, this is clearly retaliation.
But Okamoto took a deep breath and he hadn't lost yet.
Yes, he also signed a contract with that hateful Chinese Song Zhichao, and there is still a ten-day and one-month deadline to arrive, when Song Zhichao gives himself three billion, how much can make up for his losses.
Although three billion is a billion less than four billion, this is somewhat of a consolation.
......
Ten days later---
Ichiro Okamoto couldn't wait for a private lawyer to contact Song Zhichao and warn him that the one-month deadline had expired and that you should pay the rest according to the signed contract.
After receiving the message, Song Zhichao replied to Ichiro Okamoto and made an appointment to meet at the headquarters of Okamoto Co., Ltd. at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ichiro Okamoto didn't expect Song Zhichao to choose his headquarters as the negotiation location, which was a little surprising, but when he thought that this was his main battlefield, it was beneficial to him, and he couldn't help but rejoice.
Early the next morning, Ichiro Okamoto was fully prepared, arranged lawyers, witnesses, and even those damn bank tycoons invited a few to come--- Okamoto just wanted to let these guys who saw money see that he would soon have three billion dollars in his pocket, so that they could see clearly who was the grandson and who was the grandfather.
At almost nine o'clock, Song Zhichao and everyone came late.
In addition to the barrister Bi Wenfeng and several Japanese lawyers, Ichiro Okamoto saw his nemesis, Mayor Natsume Taihui, who came with Song Zhichao.
Okamoto felt very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that this damn Natsume was here to see the fun, to be precise, to see his own jokes.
But no matter what, the people were brought by Song Zhichao, and they are witnesses, no matter how unhappy or dissatisfied Ichiro Okamoto is, he can't show it.
Although Ichiro Okamoto tried his best to make a natural appearance, everyone present knew how he was doing recently--- he was simply a water dog, a lost dog, and the last time he signed a contract, he was like two people.
Ichiro Okamoto squeezed out a smile on his face, shook hands with Song Zhichao, Natsume and others, greeted him, and then began to eagerly invite Song Zhichao to "fulfill the content of the contract", ---he was in a hurry, anxious for Song Zhichao to pay himself three billion.
Faced with Ichiro Okamoto's invitation, Song Zhichao walked side by side with him to the signing ceremony.
Last time it was the first time I signed the contract, but this time it is the completion of the signing agreement, which is much more important.
Very quickly, Okamoto first signed his contract, and then looked at Song Zhichao expectantly and hopefully, and waited for him to sign --- sign before he could collect the money.
Mr. Okamoto, who had suffered a lot of losses in this month, urgently needed such a large sum of money to recover his losses.
Song Zhichao picked up the pen and picked it up.
Ichiro Okamoto's heart was about to stop beating.
He stared at Song Zhichao deadly, watched Song Zhichao pick up the pen, and wrote ---
Victory!
Victory is coming!
Ichiro Okamoto wants to scream, wants to howl, wants to.
But---
"I'm sorry, but I still won't sign it after thinking about it. Song Zhichao suddenly put down the half-signed contract, turned his head and said to Ichiro Okamoto with a smile.
Ichiro Okamoto: "......"
The smile on his face was completely frozen, and the expression on his face full of folds looked very strange, like an old bachelor who had worked hard to marry a wife, but when he went to bed, he was kicked under the bed by the other party--- his heart was very complicated.
