Chapter 508: The Sword Sees Red
Just after the New Year, just as the entire neon market crash was all talking, there was also a vicious incident in Osaka Prefecture.
On February 18, Kazuo Nagano, the chairman of Toyota Trading, was stabbed to death in front of his home.
Toyota Shoji, as the name suggests, is a trading company owned by Toyota, but in fact it has nothing to do with Toyota.
It is a trading company whose main business is the value-added system, and its general business mode is to provide customers with valuable certificates based on the purchase and sale of precious metals.
After reaching the agreed time, the customer can get the corresponding value-added interest.
To put it more bluntly, Toyota Corporation sells gold to customers, and the gold sold is kept by Toyota Corporation.
In return, it will offer its customers an annual interest rate of 10~15%.
In fact, this is also a kind of private investment, but the object of investment has become gold.
It sounds like a legitimate investment if it is carried out according to the normal business process.
So how did the vicious incident of Toyota Corporation happen?
The reason is simple, that is, Toyota Corporation is a scam company.
In the current bubble era, because the Ministry of Finance has cut interest rates continuously in the past two years, the deposit interest rate of banks is only about 0.26%.
The people's money is deposited in the bank with almost no income, and it is even possible to pay taxes.
As a result, some people take out their money and invest it in the stock market and the property market, taking advantage of the sharp rise in both to obtain considerable returns.
But for those who are older, whether it is the stock market or the property market, most of them do not understand these two types of investment.
Coupled with conservative thinking, these elderly people are more willing to believe in traditional ways of investing.
Because of the storage habit, the neon old man is actually very rich in his account.
Targeting this group, this is when Toyota Trading Co., Ltd. appeared.
In the name of investing in gold, they trick the elderly into buying their wealth management products.
There is no doubt that gold is a relative store of value in any era.
Especially in the 80s, the neon gold rush surged up, and the public recognized it very well.
As can be seen from various gold leaf ice creams, sushi, sake, etc., gold has always been the object of people's pursuit.
Taking advantage of this feature, Toyota Trading Co., Ltd. began to provide personal services to the elderly through a large number of telephone sales.
In particular, the elderly who live alone are the main targets of Toyota Trading.
When using the telephone to make indiscriminate sales, if the other party shows an aggressive tone, Toyota Corporation's staff will visit you enthusiastically.
As soon as they entered the house, they didn't do anything else, the first thing was to go to the tablet in the old man's house to put incense on the pillar.
Then he diligently cleaned up the house, and then knelt down in front of the old man and sat down directly, "Please treat me as a son." ”
Look, after this set of processes, which elderly person living alone can be indifferent?
Taking advantage of these warmth, within a week the salesman will gain the unreserved trust of these elderly people who live alone.
Under their coaxing, the old man used all his savings, that is, his pension, to buy the gold provided by Toyota Corporation.
After getting the gold, the salesman proposed that the club would help take care of the gold on the grounds that it was difficult to keep and that it was not safe to keep it around.
Of course, all this is not done in vain, while keeping the gold, Toyota Trading Company will also provide the elderly with 10~15% annual interest.
The savings have been exchanged for gold that retains its value, and there is interest to be paid, how can these old people not want to?
Therefore, under the careful preparation of the salesman, the old people signed an agreement and obtained a piece of real gold securities issued by Toyota Corporation.
Did you find a problem? Decades of savings, pensions for the rest of their lives, all exchanged for a piece of paper like waste paper.
So after Toyota Corporation took the money, did it really exchange it for gold and keep it for the elderly?
Herein lies the problem, the so-called custody of gold is all a pretense.
Toyota Corporation took the money and turned around and invested it in the stock market and the securities industry.
In just five years, Toyota Corporation has been able to absorb more than 200 billion yen from tens of thousands of people across the country.
The company employs 7,500 people and has more than 60 stores nationwide.
And in order to create his identity as a large company, Toyota Motor Company deliberately misled people into believing that he had a great relationship with Toyota.
For example, if Toyota hires someone to be the spokesperson to advertise, then after a while, Toyota Corporation will also invite the same artist to advertise on TV.
When introducing his club, Toyota Corporation also intentionally or unintentionally linked himself to Toyota Motor.
And it just so happens that there is indeed a business under the Toyota Group, called Toyota General Corporation.
Because this is a plausible name, many people mistakenly think that Toyota Corporation is a company under the Toyota Group.
It is precisely because of this misunderstanding that Toyota Corporation has amassed countless fortunes in just a few years.
However, a lie is a lie after all, and Toyota Corporation was recently denounced as a fraud, and this disguise that has been worn for several years has only revealed its original form.
Because of the huge amount of money involved, the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department has begun to open an investigation.
And how did Toyota Corporation, which has spent a few years of prosperity safely, show its feet?
This is related to the recent stock market crash, and most of the funds that Toyota Corporation has absorbed have flowed into stock market securities and real estate properties.
However, as the chairman, Kazuo Nagano is very talented in fraud, but his performance in investment is mediocre.
Under the premise that the whole neon property market is skyrocketing, he lost money on investing in real estate.
However, he cannot be blamed entirely for this, because most of the real estate projects invested by Toyota Corporation are related to the violent gang, that is, Gokudo.
If you have anything to do with them, the ending of the club is not very good.
However, for Toyota Corporation's loss in real estate projects, Kazuo Nagano is not surprised at all, and even takes it for granted.
Why? Because Toyota Corporation can find out the information of the elderly living alone so accurately, some violent gangs also play a key role.
So all of this, from beginning to end, has formed a gray interest industry chain.
If the loss of real estate is due to the distribution of profits, then the collapse of the stock market has really fallen on the sore spot of Toyota Corporation.
Hundreds of billions of yen are deposited in the stock market, and at past times, the net earnings each month are enough to pay the interest of those customers.
However, the stock market crash immediately caused Toyota Corporation's assets to shrink by half.
At this time, not to mention the interest, even whether the principal can be fished out has become a problem.
While busy selling stocks and having to pay monthly interest on those customers, it is clear that Toyota Corporation is not capable of doing so.
Since there is no interest, it is always okay to get back the gold I used to have with you, right?
Gold? What gold? Toyota Corporation has a ghost gold!
The gold that was shown to the elderly who lived alone was even fake gold made from inverted molds!
Toyota Corporation has never had a single trace of gold, and some of them are just scrap paper gold securities.
So all you have saved for your life is now just a piece of fluttering waste paper?
Those "sons" who were respectful and meticulous to themselves in the past are now ruthless in the blink of an eye.
The elderly who live alone without results in debt collection and are not concerned by the society. In the face of Toyota's cheating, there is nothing to do.
Without savings, they will not be able to continue their lives for the rest of their lives, because they will always be single.
So some desperate old people chose to jump directly from the apartment building, ending their already fragile lives.
They have no relatives and friends, no neighbors and acquaintances, and some are just "sons" who have been meticulous before.
Now that all of this is gone, there is nothing left in the world to be nostalgic about.
If they had not seen the light, they could have endured the darkness.
It's a pity that I've seen it and lost it again, and it's painful.
However, some people choose to go to extremes, and some people decisively choose to report the crime after discovering that they have been deceived.
And today, February 18, is the day when Kazuo Nagano of Toyota Corporation was investigated.
Media reporters who had already received the news in advance gathered in front of an apartment in Kita-ku, Osaka, where Kazuo Nagano lived.
However, although the reporters were itching, because there were two civil servants from the Investigation Division guarding the door, everyone had to wait outside honestly.
While everyone was talking, two tall men suddenly pushed away the reporter and came to the uniformed investigators.
"I'm a Lost Career"
"I'm Atsuro Iida"
"We are employees of Toyota Corporation, and we have important matters that we would like to report to Chairman Nagano."
The two civil servants looked at each other and responded, "Please wait here for a moment."
After saying that, the two turned around and entered the house and went to verify.
After they left, the men named Masashi Ono and Atsuro Iida suddenly turned to look at the reporters behind them.
"We are not employees of Toyota Corporation, we are victims of fraud.
At the same time, I was entrusted by other victims to ask for rape today!
Money doesn't matter anymore, we're going to kill Nagano. ”
"Huh?!"
"Huh?"
The reporters and media who were carrying cameras and preparing to eat melons showed surprised looks.
However, before everyone could react, the two of them kicked through the aluminum alloy window next to the Xuanxuan Gate with a "whoop", and turned over and entered the house.
"Quick, run faster, there's big news!"
The island of the daily news was the first to react, and he took the camera brother and ran all the way to the apartment.
Seeing their behavior, other reporters also reacted and rushed forward after them.
Turning over and entering the house, he and Atsuro Iida came to the living room with a familiar way.
Here, people from the Investigation Division are interrogating Kazuo Nagano and collecting information on stolen goods.
The older Atsuro Iida flew up to stop them first, and the young and strong Masano went straight to Kazuo Nagano.
Upon seeing the two of them, Kazuo Nagano looked taken aback and was about to shout something.
However, he moved quickly and covered his mouth.
With the other hand, he pulled out an old-time standard bayonet from his waist, and then under Nagano Kazuo's frightened eyes, the bayonet flew down to his head.
Flutter~
Flutter~
…
The blood in his neck shot like an arrow to the ceiling.
Flutter~
Flutter~
…
From the neck to the abdomen, there was no place left behind.
A total of thirteen knives, the knife is red.
It wasn't until the person in his arms stopped struggling that he let go of his hands and got up slowly.
"Uh... Uhhh
It all happened in a flash of lightning, leaving the investigators at a loss as they stood aside.
After doing this, he lost his political achievements and Iida Atsuro, but Shi Shiran got up and walked to the door.
There, a large group of reporters and photographers were watching them silently.
