Chapter 129: Strange Man
At a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, a man in his fifties, holding a suitcase in his left hand and a suitcase in his right hand, appeared at the front desk of Hard Capital Company.
After a brief exchange with the front desk lady, he was allowed to enter the company. The trunk he dragged with his hands made the sound of hard plastic wheels rubbing against the ground.
Although the man attracted the attention of some people, he walked directly into the president's office without squinting. He let go of the lever in his hand, causing both suitcases to stand upright.
Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was sitting on the top of his office chair looking at the computer screen, was interrupted by this uninvited guest. He saw the luxury logo displayed by the clothes on the other party's body, and he did not show excessive enthusiasm.
Masayoshi Kishimoto did not ask nonsense "Who are you looking for", "Is there something wrong" and so on. He just looked at the other party silently.
The strange man put down a suitcase on the left first, laid it flat on the ground, and with the sound of a zipper opening, he opened the lid of the suitcase, and a box full of banknotes appeared.
Then, he made the same action by putting down the upright suitcase on the right, laying it flat on the ground, unzipping it, and then uncovering the cover, and a box full of cash came into view.
Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't have a smile on his face because he saw the money, and immediately asked people to make tea for the other party. He still seemed indifferent.
"There are 200 million yen here. I want you to help me with my investment and financial management. The man's right hand gestured to the cash in the two suitcases.
Kishimoto would not suspect that the cash in front of him was counterfeit. The good thing about yen banknotes is that there are almost no counterfeit banknotes, on the one hand, because the printing technology is really high, and on the other hand, yen banknotes contain a unique high-value pigment that can only be produced in Japan.
As a result, the cost has risen, and even the cost and face value of banknotes issued by the government have almost reached the point of 1:1. What is profitable in making counterfeit yen banknotes?
Could it be that in order to realize people's feelings of making counterfeit banknotes, the cost of investing 100 million yen in genuine banknotes can only produce 80 million yen of counterfeit money?
What's more, the Japanese police have been so strong in cracking down on counterfeit money that even selling genuine banknotes with special serial numbers on the Internet will be considered a crime.
Masayoshi Kishimoto naturally won't accept money directly from unknown sources. He didn't want to get involved in money laundering and said, "Who introduced you to me?"
The man took the initiative to walk to the chair opposite him, pulled it open, and sat down directly and said, "Your branch president in Taito District, Fujiwara Ryuya." ”
"Then what kind of profession do you have?" Kishimoto didn't stop there, and continued to ask lukewarmly.
"Is this necessary to ask?" the man asked rhetorically, stretching his legs in front of him.
"If your investment money goes to a regular commercial bank, I naturally won't ask. Before that, you had never known anything. Now, you have 200 million yen in cash with me, how can I rest assured?"
Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke quite strategically and tactfully, and the implication is that if you want to be black money, dirty money, and other shady money, it will not work.
The man smiled and said, "We are not unknowns. I hugged you when you were younger!"
Of course, Kishimoto Masayoshi would not believe his side of the story and said, "Since you are a friend of your deceased father and a friend of our branch president, it stands to reason that I should not refuse you. However, you have to come up with a real hammer to prove your innocence!"
The man saw that he didn't fully believe it because of his empty white teeth: "Even if what I said is false, it doesn't prevent this money from being true!"
"I'm a legitimate investment company, not an underground money bank. If you have other needs, look elsewhere. Kishimoto said calmly.
"There's 200 million yen in cash here. The man said the number deliberately.
"I'm sorry, but the minimum threshold for investment here is 1 billion yen. Your 200 million yen is not enough, and there is still 800 million yen left to be able to tick the minimum threshold standard for our investment. "Kishimoto has deliberately raised the minimum investment threshold of 100 million yen tenfold.
The man did not show the slightest hint of panic. It didn't take him even a moment to mutter, and he calmly took out the cash checkbook from the inner pocket of his coat.
"Can you lend me a pen to use?" the man smiled slightly.
Masayoshi Kishimoto raised his hand and gestured to the signature pen on the desk and said, "Feel free." ”
The man picked up the pen in his right hand, and wrote a string of numbers on the cash check book, and also signed his name.
After he finished writing, he put down the pen in his hand, tore a check from the checkbook with his right hand, and pressed it with two fingers and pushed it in front of Kishimoto.
Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up the cash check and looked at it, 2.8 billion yen. If you add the 200 million yen in cash he personally brought, it is exactly 3 billion yen.
The bank that issued the cash check was Mitsubishi Bank, which means that there is no problem with the source of the money. Even if there were, it was Mitsubishi Bank that was responsible, not its own.
"Now, there's no problem!" the man said with a smile again.
"I guess you have something else to ask for. Masayoshi Kishimoto slowly put down the cash check in his hand.
"It is important to keep my identity a secret, as well as my investment. Whether the investment is a profit or a loss, all you have to do is tell me.
The money is still with you. If I need anything, I will inform you separately. My contact details will then be sent to your mobile phone via SMS. The man said lightly.
"No problem. As for the contract, we still have to sign it. "Kishimoto cannot afford not to follow an established procedural path.
"Just do as you say. "The strange man took it in stride.
On the one hand, Masayoshi Kishimoto called Asuka Ota with the phone, and asked her to ask Rumiko Kato to serve tea, and on the other hand, he was full of curiosity about the strange and mysterious man in front of him.
He thought in his heart that since the other party had hugged himself when he was a child and knew the branch president, it meant that he might also be a dry pachinko.
But why hadn't he seen this person? He thought about it, even if he hadn't seen him, it was normal. There are more than 20,000 pachinko shops in Japan.
Many of them own n stores, but they also have a large number of members. Even if there is a conference and all the practitioners are present, it is impossible for all of them to know themselves.
In addition, each city has always been a separate activity. Even if there is any major event, it is the branch president who participates on behalf of a district or a city.
Before he quit the pachinko industry, he belonged to the role of a small transparent member, and it was not surprising that he didn't know his peers from other places.
