Chapter 134: Sudden Death
readx;
Iwasaki's sudden death immediately alarmed the news media and the Intelligence Headquarters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Oki Rongya has arrived in Nagasaki and is working with Rina Tanaka to analyze the information obtained from the Iwasaki family. There are not many useful things, but there are some that have aroused the idea of Oki Rongya, such as the fact that in the last two years, the industry run by the Iwasaki family has been in a state of serious loss.
If these things hadn't happened, Damu Ronggu wouldn't have felt strange.
The global economic downturn has deeply affected major companies, and the Mitsubishi Foundation is no exception. Taking the shipbuilding industry as an example, the orders obtained by the Mitsubishi consortium in the past two years have fallen by 60% year-on-year, and the number of new ship completions has fallen to the lowest level in 30 years. In other industries, such as automobile manufacturing, aviation, electric power, energy, chemicals, etc., the Mitsubishi consortium's operating performance is also very unsatisfactory.
What's even worse is that because the United States has implemented two rounds of quantitative easing policy in a row, the dollar has deteriorated significantly, so that the political axe of the capital has to keep up with the pace of the United States and control the interest rate at the lowest level, resulting in the financial industry of the capital to suffer a heavy blow, so the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, which is the core of the Mitsubishi consortium and the main industry of the Iwasaki family, has huge bad debts and bad debts, and has suffered serious losses for two consecutive years, and the market system has shrunk by nearly 40%!
Income has decreased and assets have shrunk, but the Iwasaki family's expenses have not decreased.
Although the Iwasaki family's assets are still huge, with the shares of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi worth more than 20 trillion yuan, and the total assets of other industries are about 500 billion yuan, most of these assets are fixed assets, and there is not much liquidity available for deployment.
In the case of the shares of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, the Iwasaki family holds only 40 out of 7 shares, and together with a few well-connected major shareholders, it has just reached the 51 percent required for a controlling stake.
For the Iwasaki family, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi shares are "fixed assets."
In order to get enough cash, Eiichi Iwasaki had to sell his stake in the consortium.
The question is, why did the Iwasaki family have such a huge deficit?
According to information brought back by Rina Tanaka, the Iwasaki family has lost at least $20 billion in the past two years, most of which have been short-term bank loans.
$20 billion is definitely not a small amount of money, you must know that the annual budget of the Intelligence Headquarters is less than $2 billion.
Where does all this money go?
There is no relevant information in the data, as if there is a black hole of funds.
Obviously, this part of the information has been erased.
To find out the truth, you have to go to the top-secret database for more information.
After receiving the news of Iwasaki's death, Oki Rongya immediately rushed over with Rina Tanaka.
After asking Rina Tanaka to collect evidence, Oki Rongya finds Shintaro Iwasaki.
It's a pity that Iwasaki Eiichi died suddenly, and Shintaro Iwasaki did not have the password to enter the top-secret database, but said that he would fully cooperate.
In this way, if you want to obtain the information in the top-secret database of the Mitsubishi Foundation, you have to go through the "Golden Shine Club".
From a judicial point of view, this is a very troublesome matter. Damu Ronggu first had to get a summons from the prosecutor's office before the "Jin Yao Society" could pass a resolution. The problem is that the contents of the Mitsubishi Foundation's top-secret database must implicate many big names. If the Mitsubishi Foundation does not intend to cooperate, it will be obstructed through the judicial process, and it will be a trivial matter for several years, and the investigation will be concluded long ago.
Besides, if you really want to investigate, you have to consider administrative resistance.
Da Mu Ronggu is just a small intelligence officer, and in the eyes of those big people, he is almost like an ant.
It's just that at this juncture, Da Mu Ronggu has no way out. He must find out what Iwasaki Eiichi did before he can give the prime minister an explanation.
In order to avoid being burned, Oki Rongya left Rina Tanaka behind and put her in charge of continuing the investigation.
This guy is indeed very cunning.
Rina Tanaka is a member of the Tanaka family and is very influential in political circles. By having her investigate the Iwasaki family, she was able to minimize the administrative influence. More importantly, as long as other big figures are found to be related to this matter, the Tanaka family will not sit idly by, and will definitely hope to use this to attack other political families.
With the support of the family, Rina Tanaka is the best person to do this.
Besides, she has always been investigating, and it makes sense to let her continue to investigate.
What Oki Ronggu has to do is to delegate power and not ask about Rina Tanaka's investigation work, even if he gets into trouble, it is Rina Tanaka's trouble, and it has nothing to do with him.
After the arrangement, Oki Rongya left the Iwasaki family.
At this time, the Iwasaki family was under the control of hundreds of agents, and not only family members were interrogated, but also those who worked for the Iwasaki family.
In order to obtain the contents of the top-secret database as soon as possible, Rina Tanaka also hired several technicians.
Unfortunately, Eiichi Iwasaki's computer could not be connected to external devices or an external network, and the technicians were of little use.
By the time the investigation was in full swing, it was already just after 5 p.m., and the Tokyo Stock Exchange had already been suspended, so there was no impact on the stock market for the time being. It is conceivable that with the opening of the Tokyo Stock Exchange tomorrow morning, the stocks of the major companies of the Mitsubishi Consortium will take a high dive.
The most affected is definitely the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi.
While Rina Tanaka was collecting evidence, Liu Wei found Kazumiko Yasuda.
Knowing what happened during the day, Kazumiko Yasuda asked Yoko Ito to find Liu Wei and ask him to go to a suburban manor. Before Liu Wei arrived, Yasuda and Miko asked his subordinates to prepare a table of wine and food, and it was Chinese food. Obviously, the matter of the Iwasaki family made her realize that Liu Wei is a talent worth wooing.
In the face of hospitality, Liu Wei was not very enthusiastic.
Because he knows that as long as there are capable people in this intelligence agency, they can sort out the complicated situation and find out who is behind the scenes. Even if there is Tanaka Rina as the internal response, the intelligence agency will not let Liu Wei go. Staying in this book is not only dangerous, but also meaningless.
After doing this, he changed and left.
As for how the Yasuda family cleans up the mess, it is not a problem that Liu Wei needs to consider.
With the ability to exist for hundreds of years and the establishment of the fourth largest consortium in the world, the Yasuda family will definitely be able to produce a large number of people and have enough ability to take advantage of the current situation.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Wei has done nothing.
"The priority is not how to acquire the Mitsubishi consortium." Liu Wei was very frank, which caught Kazuko Yasuda a little off guard. "With the strength of the Yasuda family, it is impossible to swallow the entire Mitsubishi Foundation. Don't forget, the Iwasaki family is only the leader of the consortium, and the other families of the consortium will definitely intervene to stop it. Therefore, I think the Yasuda family should focus on something, such as concentrating on the acquisition of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. ”
"This is also our plan, we have prepared ......"
Liu Wei pressed his hand and said: "Money is not a problem, I believe that the Yasuda family is not short of money, and can let Fuji Bank and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi merge and reorganize to take over the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi." The point is that Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi shares must continue to be listed for trading, rather than allowing the authorities to suspend trading on the grounds of an emergency. This requires the influence of the Yasuda family in the administrative authorities and institutions. ”
Kazumiko Yasuda nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is right, we are working on this. ”
What Liu Wei said is the most critical issue.
The Iwasaki family is the largest shareholder of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, and after these events, the authorities and the securities regulator have every reason to suspend the trading of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi to prevent a hostile takeover.
"How long will it take to complete the acquisition required for the merger and reorganization?"
"At least a week."
"Can it be done?"
Yasuda and Miko hesitated for a moment and said: "We can only do our best, after all, it happened very suddenly, except for the Fuji Foundation, the other four major consortiums are not prepared and do not have enough funds to complete the acquisition, and they will definitely obstruct it." ”
"Yasuda-san, would you like to hear my advice?"
Yasuda and Miko nodded and invited Liu Wei to come, just to hear his advice.
"I don't doubt the strength of the Fuji Foundation, but if the other four major consortia join forces, the results will not be much better. Therefore, I suggest that it is best for Ms. Yasuda's father, Mr. Hirosuke Yasuda, to come forward and unite with other foundations to jointly divide up the Mitsubishi Foundation. ”
"Partition?"
"Even if it can swallow the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, the Fuji Foundation is not capable of eating dozens of other companies, so why not do it as a favor?"
Yasuda and Miko frowned, as if thinking about Liu Wei's words.
"Besides, as long as the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi is annexed, the Fuji Foundation will become the largest financial consortium in the company, and it will have an absolute overwhelming advantage over the other four major consortiums. Less industry will not only reduce trouble, but also allow the Fuji Foundation to take the initiative in future development. ”
"I see what you mean, it's just ......"
"These are special times, and the worst response is to do nothing."
Yasuda and Miko let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Liu, you are right, I will contact my father as soon as possible." ”
Liu Wei smiled and didn't say anything more.
"I will fulfill my promise as soon as possible, and the benefits of Mr. Liu are absolutely indispensable, just ......"
"Miss Yasuda is too worried." Liu Wei smiled again and said, "For me, money is a secondary issue, as long as Miss Yasuda hands over our share to the 'Hashimoto-Ogata Industrial Group'." This is a world of integrity, and people without integrity have no place to stand, and Eiichi Iwasaki is the best proof of this. I also believe that Ms. Yasuda is a person who keeps her word and will never do anything stupid. ”
Of course, Yasuda and Miko understood what Liu Wei meant, this was a warning to her and the Yasuda family.
"Mr. Liu is assured that after the completion of the acquisition, we will deliver on our promises." Yasuda and Miko hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a question that I have always wanted to ask Mr. Liu, but I have always been unable to say. ”
"What?"
"Mr. Liu has done so many things, hasn't he thought about stepping onto a bigger stage?"
"Yasuda-san, you're looking at me too complicated. I was just doing what I had to do, not thinking too much about it, and not thinking about being big. ”
At this point, Liu Wei has nothing to say to Kazumiko Yasuda.
After saying goodbye and leaving, Liu Wei found Mobei Wolf and Grayback Jackal.
It's time to pick up the last enemy.
