After two stock market crashes, the stock price of Changxin Bank has fallen to around 1,000 yen.

This is nearly twenty or thirty times lower than the stock price of a single plant of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan at its peak.

In fact, the stock price of Changyin is far from the only one that has shrunk, and the stock prices of all financial institutions are falling.

Banks, securities, real estate institutions, the stock market collapse is caused by the collapse of their stock prices.

The financial sector bore the brunt of the crisis, which then caused a ripple effect that rippled through the entire stock market.

However, in comparison, Changyin still fell a little more than other large banks.

After all, they have already revealed their internal weakness by selling EIE International's shares.

However, now after a toss by Shirakawa Kaede, the stock price of Changyin of 1,000 yen cannot be saved.

In just two days, by the time the stock exchange reopened, the price had become more than 600 yen.

The stock price has been discounted by nearly half again, and Changyin's already stretched business situation is even worse.

Originally, due to the problem of bad debts, Changyin also planned to issue additional shares for public fundraising to alleviate internal financial pressure.

Now it's okay, not to mention the public offering, the existing stocks are beginning to be disliked by shareholders and investment institutions.

Changyin is also arguing about this matter, some want to seek help from the Ministry of Finance, and some want to cooperate with other banks.

However, before they could discuss a result, the outside media gave Changyin another heavy blow.

In the column, "Nikkei" directly broke the inside story of Changyin's perennial crazy lending to EIE.

In addition to these reports, which were exposed along with the report, there was also EIE's practice of bribing Changyin cadres and officials of the Ministry of Finance to drink flower wine.

In the face of these accusations, before the Ministry of Finance could react, Changyin was the first to jump out and deny it.

When the president of the bank, Horie, was questioned by reporters, he shook his head without thinking about it and said that there was no such thing at all.

Looking at the high-level executives of Changyin who denied it on TV, Bai Chuanfeng unconsciously sneered.

A small day is always a virtue, as long as the scandal is not revealed, then cover the lid vigorously.

This is true for governments, and this is true for large institutions, all in the same vein.

"Oda, let's make an appointment with Osamu Takahashi of EIE International."

Assistant "Hai" Oda immediately picked up the phone and began to make arrangements.

In response to Changyin's actions, Shirakawa Kaede and Arai Yu's initial plan was to complete the merger of Changyin within two years.

Because of the particularity of the other party's background, in fact, this time is already very tight.

Of course, if Changyin can take the initiative to cooperate, this time can be shortened.

No, didn't this Horie-san on TV take the initiative to hand over the knife?

Is there any insider trading between Changyin and EIE? There is no need to ask this question.

In terms of the madness of the neon bubble period, there are only a few financial institutions that do not have insider trading.

Now that Changyin is swearing to deny it, then to accelerate its collapse, of course, is a slap in the face in time.

If you want to push Changyin into a corner, it is not enough to have huge debts on its own.

Its long-established image of "thick and significant" is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is also necessary to destroy people's confidence in it.

However, slapping Changyin's face, and then using media means may not be so effective.

In contrast, it is the most impactful that the parties show up to say.

Takahashi Osanori, this young boy, he still wants to make good use of it.

…

At a café in Chuo District, Takahashi, dressed as an elite, saw Shirakawa Kaede who was waiting leisurely in the box, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Shirakawa-san, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."

Takahashi, who was over forty years old, faced Shirakawa Kaede, who was nearly twenty years younger than him, but his attitude was indescribably respectful and humble.

Nonsense, can you not show a little respect?

Sitting here is the helm of the Shirakawa zaibatsu and the top decision-maker of the Hokuto Bank.

While other big banks are in the quagmire, only Beidu Bank is as stable as a dog as ever.

Just two days ago, it was revealed that Toyota's funds for the construction of a new generation of production line equipment in Southeast Asia were all guaranteed by loans from Beidu Bank.

Although the two companies have not released specific figures, it is estimated that the loan amount is at least 500 billion yen.

In the case of the total annihilation of the neon financial industry, Beidu Bank can easily take out 500 billion, which shows its strength.

What is EIE International lacking the most? A lot of money, of course.

Since Changyin gave up taking over EIE, the latter's projects under construction around the world have almost come to a halt.

So as soon as Osanori Takahashi heard that it was Shirakawa Kaede who made an appointment, he immediately pushed away the matter at hand and rushed over.

Seeing the courteous appearance of the person in front of him, Shirakawa Kaede smiled and nodded, "Takahashi-san, please take a seat." ”

"Hai~" Takahashi nodded before sitting down in a proper manner.

"What is the current situation of EIE International, and is it still going well?" Shirakawa Kaede got straight to the point and put the topic directly on EIE.

Recently, the media has broken the news round after round.

Besides, with Shirakawa Kaede's current identity, he can already ignore some so-called politeness.

"Uh" Hearing his question, Takahashi's face was slightly embarrassed.

But thinking that these things were not a secret, he nodded calmly.

"There were some minor difficulties, but as long as sufficient funds were raised, EIE would soon return to its previous profit margins."

After saying that, Takahashi looked at Shirakawa Kaede with a longing expression, and with his naked eyes, he almost wrote the word "borrowed money" on his face.

"Well, that's good." Shirakawa Kaede praised casually.

He knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't mean to pick up at all.

Seeing such a scene, Takahashi couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

What the hell is going on with this Shirakawa-san? Since he is not going to lend to EIE, is he trying to buy the mess in his own hands?

If that's the case, that's really great.

Takahashi has already made up his mind, as long as Shirakawa Kaede opens his mouth, no matter how low the price is, he will sell it!

Now EIE doesn't talk about making money, and it's not a loss, so thank God.

"Has Changyin completely given up its support for EIE?"

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede inquire about Changyin's situation, Takahashi's eyes lit up.

"Hai, 20% of the shares have been fully absorbed by the market, and now EIE is completely free."

Takahashi, who would be mistaken, thought that Shirakawa Kaede was understanding the capital behind EIE.

Therefore, he also made a point of saying that EIE is now completely ownerless.

Just waiting for someone else to take over, oh no, it's to take over.

However, Shirakawa Kaede's next words shattered his illusions.

"Without the support of Changyin, the situation in the future of EIE will not be too good."

"Uh" Takahashi's face froze. It doesn't seem to be the same as I thought.

But now that the topic has come here, Takahashi simply gets straight to the point.

He crossed his arms and lay flat on the table, his eyes looking directly at Shirakawa Kaede seriously.

"Shirakawa-san, most of the EIE projects are nearing completion.

With the last refinancing, these projects can be officially completed and start making a profit.

Changyin is definitely losing money by giving up on us, so can you consider EIE?

Rest assured, both interest and EIE shares are negotiable.

We are just one step away, and success is just around the corner! ”

I have to say that Takahashi is worthy of being a graduate of Yingkei, and even at this point, he still did not give up struggling.

When you see any hope, you will rush to it desperately.

Facing his longing eyes, Shirakawa Kaede took a sip of coffee with an indifferent expression.

During this period, Takahashi's eyes followed him closely, not letting go of a moment.

"The funding problem for EIE is not without a solution."

"Shirakawa-san!." Takahashi almost stood up in excitement.

"Takahashi-san, please calm down for a while, but there is a question that I've always been curious about." Shirakawa Kaede turned his gaze and looked at him quietly.

"Please say~" Takahashi straightened his posture and became more and more respectful.

"Is the news about EIE and officials from Changyin and the Ministry of Finance reported in the Nikkei Shimbun true?"

With a sigh, Takahashi's body subconsciously straightened, and at the same time his eyes stared at Shirakawa Kaede motionlessly.

"Shirakawa-san, how could you care about this?"

Did EIE bribe anyone from Changyin and the Ministry of Finance? Of course! But can this question be said openly?

Kaede Shirakawa said yes! He asked so unabashedly.

Facing Takahashi's wary eyes, Shirakawa Kaede laughed.

"The second credit group of Tokyo Credit Union and Security Credit Union is in the process of selecting the chairman of the board.

Is Takahashi-san interested in this position? ”

Credit Group 2? Chairman? Osamu Takahashi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

Although the strength of these two financial institutions is not as good as that of large banks, they are not worse than ordinary medium-sized banks.

If he were to serve as its chairman, the EIE would not be short of funds

Takahashi rolled his throat, his heart beating uncontrollably.

"Shirakawa-san, you" Takahashi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

Obviously, Shirakawa Kaede hinted at this position, indicating that he must be sure, so what do you need to give?

Is it a stake in EIE? Still is.

"Horie-san of Nagashin Bank is not honest enough to openly lie about what he has done in front of the public.

That's not the way a bank head should behave, you say, Takahashi-san? ”

Osamu Takahashi's body was shocked, and he looked at Shirakawa Kaede opposite in disbelief, his eyes shocked.

Changxin Bank? Shirakawa zaibatsu? Takahashi suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

However, in the face of his uneasy eyes, Shirakawa Kaede seemed to say something insignificant.

"If Takahashi-san is interested in the chairman of the second credit group, you may wish to contact me, this is my business card."

Shirakawa Kaede took out a business card from his pocket and pushed it forward, ready to get up and leave here.

"Shirakawa-san!"

The moment he turned around, Haranori Takahashi stopped him with a loud voice.

Facing Shirakawa Kaede's looking back, Takahashi replied word by word, "I'm interested. ”

Shirakawa Kaede smiled.

In August, the Neon government held a parliamentary meeting on the recent financial situation and economic environment.

At this conference, he was questioned by the economic research group.

Takahashi, the president of EEE, bluntly told the truth about various facts within the group and Changyin.

What bribes, rebates, over-receptions, etc., all shaken out like beans poured from a bamboo tube.

Looking at Takahashi, who looked like an open-minded person in the Diet, and Horie, whose face was blue below, the corners of Shirakawa Kaede's mouth on the seat were slightly upturned.
