On this day, the motorcade of Masayoshi Kishimoto and his party stopped in front of the gate of a five-star hotel in Roppongi, Minato-ku.

When he was young, he knew how to wear suits and leather shoes, and the person he wants to meet today is the South Korean prime minister who visited Japan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which facilitated the meeting between the two sides, played a role as a bridge.

Masayoshi Kishimoto, who got out of the car, of course, knew what the talks were going to involve. Not to mention the South Korean prime minister, even if the South Korean president comes to Japan in person, he must talk about interests, not about so-called friendship.

Among the people who accompanied Kishimoto were Mirai Yamada, the head of the secretary's office, Kazuya Takahashi, the minister of justice, and Ryosuke Natsume, the head of the propaganda department.

They are all people who have seen big scenes, and they will not be stunned at all. What's more, it's still on its own turf. Masayoshi Kishimoto walked in front, and his entourage was hugging him in front of him.

On the left, a low-ranking official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the hotel's lobby manager are leading their way.

The reporters who came to hear the news were even more energetic, and all kinds of cameras were aimed at Masayoshi Kishimoto and others. With the cooperation of so many people, Masayoshi Kishimoto and others really have a kind of star-studded star on the red carpet.

When I entered the specially prepared conference room, according to the etiquette of meeting Japan and South Korea, it was not an international handshake with each other, but a bow and greeting to each other.

After everyone is polite, it is natural to enter the main topic of the content. The parties will hold a closed-door meeting with practical interests.

The people on Kishimoto's side sat on one side of the long conference table, while the South Korean Prime Minister and others sat on the other side of the long conference table. Officials from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs attended the meeting as observers.

"I hope that Hard Gold Group will stop shorting the Korean stock market here. The South Korean Prime Minister's opening remarks were straight to the point.

Although Masayoshi Kishimoto does not speak Korean, Yamada, the head of the secretary's office, is fluent in Korean. He speaks Japanese, and she sits on her right to make a simultaneous translation.

"Our hard gold group's shorting of the South Korean stock market is completely in line with the rules of the international financial game, and there is no illegal move. Kishimoto said bluntly.

Naturally, the South Korean prime minister came prepared. He didn't know that he couldn't impress the other party if he spoke lightly. As long as the hard gold group stops, then the pressure on the Korean financial system will be much less.

He appeared here to have a direct interview with the chairman of the Hard Gold Group, Masayoshi Kishimoto, for this purpose. As for how to impress the other party, one is in exchange for benefits, and the other is threat.

The latter is obviously not good, after all, there is no illegal behavior on the part of others. It's like a regular and legal casino opening its doors to do business, and gamblers come in to gamble for money.

If the other party wins a lot of money in the casino, it is difficult for them to distort the facts and say that others are doing something wrong? In this way, they will lose their international reputation. Who will come to play in the future?

Since the latter road does not work, then the only choice is to take the first path. As for how the two sides will exchange a benefit, it needs to be discussed in detail.

"I didn't say you broke the law. The South Korean Prime Minister smiled lightly.

It's not that Kishimoto doesn't know that South Korea is already in dire straits. The government has ordered the charcoal in South Korean supermarkets to be removed from the shelves. Not only that, but in places where suicide is prone to occur in South Korea, patrols have also been strengthened.

The reason why the South Korean government issued such a government measure is that there are so many people who commit suicide by burning charcoal, and it has begun to become a social problem.

In fact, people are really determined to die, and there are many ways to do that. Just because the government has issued such a decree measure will completely stop those who owe huge personal debts.

The annual income of ordinary people in their lifetime has a ceiling and limit. Once you owe the limit and ceiling that is close to or exceeds your lifetime income, then you will feel first-hand what it means to fall apart.

Debt collectors will naturally make all kinds of phone calls constantly, within a day, as few as one, twenty, or as many as dozens. Even if you don't answer the phone, there will be all kinds of short messages about forced debts.

In addition, door-to-door collection is also one of the methods. Doing this every day is completely capable of destroying a normal person with poor psychological tolerance.

When people come to this point, the most extreme behavior is to choose to commit suicide. Even if the government comes forward to reduce the interest rate, it does not mean that the principal will not be repaid.

In order to protect itself and survive, the banking industry may not necessarily implement the relevant government decrees and measures. At the same time, even if the government knows that the entire banking industry is not in line with the good and the bad, it can only turn a blind eye.

Politicians will inevitably make a gesture in order to deceive the people's trust, hope, and votes. On the other hand, they also know that their country's banking sector is still really collapsing, and South Korea's national economy is finished.

Moreover, if the banking industry increases so many bad debts for no reason, it will not be done, after all, it is not charity, and the person who borrowed the money does not have to pay it back.

What they usually do is either to collect all kinds of directly, or to package the debt and sell it to others at a discount to collect. This inevitably involves the use of all kinds of violent means.

Even if the debtor is repaid in installments, it will greatly reduce the current quality of life. The time to repay the debt can range from a few years to several decades.

Rather than live such a hopeless and hard life, it is better to die. In addition, South Korea is also a suicidal country, which has led to the desperation of many South Koreans.

It is not an isolated phenomenon in South Korea, but has become a common social problem. It directly affects millions of people, and indirectly millions of families, tens of millions of people.

South Korea, with the exception of a few, is not implicated. This internal worry has not been solved, and the external trouble is pressing step by step. The short sellers, led by Japan's hard gold group, are even more bold in attacking South Korea.

If it were not for the urgency of the situation, the South Korean prime minister would not have personally flown to Tokyo, Japan, to conduct an interview with Kishimoto. The person who instructed him was the president of South Korea, and even the entire banking industry in South Korea.

Masayoshi Kishimoto pondered for a while and said, "It's not easy for me to spit out what I ate in my mouth. Unless I see something better. ”

The South Korean prime minister saw that the other party was not monolithic, and there was nothing to talk about at all. Now that the other party has opened a market that can be discussed, it is a good start.

"What more do you want?" said the South Korean prime minister bluntly.

"It's not what I want, it's about whether you're willing to give me such an opportunity to help South Korea through the crisis. Kishimoto smiled.
