Chapter 517: Dark Shadows
"Ota, have you heard of the General Association House?"
"The club house?" Ota raised his eyebrows and said with disdain, "A bunch of guys who are not presentable."
Aren't those who rely on unreasonable arguments, empty talk, and toughness to snatch food from big companies not worthy of being in the public eye?
Real Showa men make their fortunes through their own efforts.
Even transactions close to the gray area such as consumer loans, pink movies, and second-hand markets can be handled successfully by Taitian.
By entering the lower-tier markets and working hard for several years, Fuji Credit's assets alone have exceeded 300 billion yen.
Including the second-hand department store Clay Stick Co., Ltd. and the pink movie Clay Stick Cat, the assets that Ota manages have long exceeded 500 billion.
Apart from the resources and funds provided by Shirakawa Kaede, all the rest were achieved by Ota himself with his own efforts.
Compared to this, can those guys in the General Association House come up with such financial resources?
Therefore, Ota has every reason to be proud of himself. In his eyes, the General Association is more like a louse or parasite on a large enterprise.
Without these listed companies, the association would fall apart within a year.
Seeing Ota's expression, Baichuan Feng also chuckled twice.
"Then take a look at this." He took out the letter that had been handed over to him by the headquarters.
After taking the envelope and opening it casually, a hint of cruelty instantly appeared in Ota's eyes.
"Baga! These guys are looking for death! Shirakawa-san, I'm going to destroy their headquarters now!"
As he said this with a hateful look on his face, Ota wanted to get up and walk out, but Shirakawa Feng stopped him in time.
"Please sit down first, Ota."
"But Shirakawa-san, these guys are obviously humiliating us!"
This is also what Ota cannot accept the most. The General Association submitted a statement to attend the shareholders' meeting of Shirakawa Electric.
That would be an insult to Shirakawa Kaede. That would be an insult to Shirakawa Kaede and a humiliation to Ota.
If the master is humiliated, the minister will die. This is no joke in traditional Neon.
How can the young and energetic Ota accept a group of guys who can only talk big?
Seeing his chest still rising and falling, Baichuan Feng spoke slowly.
"Ohta, remember what I told you. When things confront you, reason is more suitable to be your partner than impulse."
"Yeah!" Ota nodded in agreement. With Baichuan Feng's advice, his anger dissipated a lot.
“Although the General Association is a headache for listed companies, it has many members and a dense network of connections in both the black and white worlds.
But I have a hunch that they came to me for another reason.”
If the club wants to find fault with a company, the best time to do so is before the company grows up.
Newly listed companies may be the best choice.
But obviously Shirakawa Denki is not in this category. In fact, in terms of scale, Soujyou has chosen a completely opposite opponent.
This doesn't make sense, there must be other reasons behind it.
"Shirakawa-san, what do you think the clubhouse is for?"
Ota decided to leave this kind of brain-intensive work to Shirakawa Kaede.
Baichuan Feng shook his head. "It's hard to say, but it should be closely related to the extreme way."
"Yakuza?" Ota was surprised again. Although the Soujiya was also a violent gang, it was completely different from the Yakuza.
"Ota, don't you think Jidao has been too active in the past two years?" A meaningful look flashed in Baichuan Feng's eyes.
Ota choked. This... seemed... According to the feedback from people below, Jidao has indeed appeared in many occasions recently.
They can be found in financial companies, real estate companies, credit mortgages, etc.
Even Fuji Credit, its own bank, had a conflict with them.
From this perspective, the momentum these guys are creating seems to be growing.
"Shirakawa-san, do you have any instructions for me to do?
I can’t say about other places, but Tokyo is definitely fine.”
Based on Ota's understanding of Shirakawa Kaede, he must have had some plans in mind.
In that case, the rest of the work will be left to him.
As for the manpower that Ohta can use now, hehe~
If he says Tokyo is fine, then there must be no problem.
"Go check the details of the General Association House. The details I'm talking about are the parts that ordinary people can't see.
Also, check which Yakuza organizations are closest to the Souha-ya. It’s best to investigate any organizations that have any interests connected to them.”
"Understand" As for finding out information, Ota is better at it.
Just as Ota stood up and prepared to leave, Shirakawa Kaede gave him another word of caution.
"Pick some reliable men to be used in case of emergency."
Ota paused, then nodded solemnly, "Ha!"
Along with the bubble, Jidao’s restless heart also expands.
…
"Xiaochi-san, Shirakawa Electric has been notified."
" Hmm~" In an office in the port area, the bespectacled Koike Ryuichi nodded slowly.
No one could have imagined that this gentle and even thin middle-aged man was the chairman of the general association that caused headaches for countless listed companies.
Not only that, although it was defined as a violent group, the layout of Ryuichi Koike's place was actually no different from that of an ordinary company.
Computers, desks, telephones, fax machines, bookshelves, etc. are all available.
Putting down the documents in his hand, Koike Takashi looked up and said.
“Since they have received it, how did they respond?”
"The other party is asking for our offer."
"Make an offer?" Koike Ryuichi chuckled.
It seems that the so-called first-generation head of the Shirakawa Zaibatsu is just this.
Don't you have to bow your head obediently in front of the headquarters?
Thinking of this, Ryuichi Koike picked up a piece of white paper and quickly wrote a number on it.
"Just reply according to this request, and tell them that if they don't agree within three days, then we'll see you at the shareholders' meeting."
The subordinate looked at the numbers on the paper and his eyes widened instantly.
"Xiao Chi-san, this... I'm afraid Shirakawa Electric won't surrender willingly."
"It doesn't matter. Just send the letter. Besides, we have gifts to send later."
"Hayi~"
Watching his subordinates walk away, Koike Ryuichi laughed sarcastically.
This time, the General Association also wants to weigh the weight of the Shirakawa Zaibatsu.
In the past, with the protection of the First Guidance Bank, the General Association never came to the door.
Now that something has changed at Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank, it would be a waste if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity.
It is said that although the General Association has been established for so many years, it has never succeeded in swallowing up a chaebol.
Thinking of this, Ryuichi Koike couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
He believes that his overt connections are as good as anyone else's, including those of previous cabinet ministers and several financial giants.
These are the people who can drink and chat happily with Xiao Chi Long, not to mention the underworld.
Among all the famous Yakuza organizations in Japan, which one has not cooperated with the Souqya?
Even many large companies have set up their negotiation venues in the headquarters house, intending to let them mediate.
Relying on the connections accumulated over the years, the club's tentacles are spread throughout Japan's financial and political circles, and it can be said that it truly has both black and white connections.
With such a relationship, and the stock market recently starting to decline, isn't this a good time to take action?
For such a young rising star, it is time for him to see the power from the other side of Japan.
…
"Watanabe-san, do you mean that we shouldn't make enemies at the General Association House?"
"Shirakawa-san, you may not know how troublesome the General Association is.
If they are forced to mobilize all their strength, the shareholders' meetings of listed companies may very likely become meetings in name only.
Not to mention that this will have a huge impact on the actual business conditions and development of the company, even the media reports the next day will bring uncertain risks to the stock market.”
Ichiro Watanabe is the one who has the most say on this point because he came from that era.
"But Watanabe-san, as far as I know, Japanese law has imposed various restrictions on clubs a few years ago.
Over the past ten years, the General Association House should be no longer as good as it used to be."
Baichuan Feng was holding the phone, but his tone did not seem to show that he took it seriously.
"That's just an appearance. It looks like the staff of the clubhouse has been greatly reduced. But the smaller and more compact it is, the more difficult it is to deal with.
Even though they seem to rarely mobilize on a large scale now, that's because they have reached agreements with most companies.
As long as the annual funds are in place, the General Association will no longer make things difficult for them.
Even if some listed companies encounter troubles or have insider actions or transactions that they are unwilling to disclose, they will turn to the headquarters to resolve the matter.
Because of the intervention of the General Chamber of Commerce, ordinary shareholders who wanted to find fault or had real opinions did not have the opportunity to speak. "
"Heh~" Hearing this, Baichuan Feng couldn't help but sneer, "Protection money? "
On the other end of the phone, Ichiro Watanabe choked.
"In any case, Mr. Shirakawa had better think carefully about the General Association House.
The entire financial industry in Japan, especially the securities industry, almost all used the clubhouse as a transit point and a base for insider trading.
Judging from the connections behind it, there is much more to it than what is revealed.”
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Watanabe. Shirakawa Holdings will consider this issue carefully."
"Shirakawa-san, Daiichi Kanegin here..." Watanabe Ichiro hesitated, "Anyway, there are some things that we can't decide for sure."
"Understood, Watanabe-san, don't worry.
Besides, Baichuan Holdings is not a child who needs to be taken care of all the time, and we can still handle the headquarters."
"In that case, please take care of yourself." With a long sigh, Ichiro Watanabe hung up the phone thoughtfully.
It's a troubled time, it's a troubled time~
As the largest city bank, Ichiro Watanabe was most aware of the financial chaos in Japan at the time.
The entire banking industry seems to be well-organized, but there are no rules at all.
Money laundering, black money, bad debts, and various illegal operations have become commonplace, and improper bribery is even more prevalent in the industry.
This is also true within Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank. This time the General Association forced Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank to surrender is the best example.
If it's a big deal, it's going to be a big deal~
Ichiro Watanabe has always felt as uneasy as he did today.
…
After hanging up the phone, Baichuan Feng's face turned gloomy.
It seems that the situation is more serious than he thought, and it can make Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank compromise temporarily.
Abandoning the protection of Shirakawa Electric, it seems that the power of the General Association should not be underestimated.
Just now, Ichiro Watanabe called and told Shirakawa Kaede about the internal affairs of Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank and the general meeting house.
In fact, this was already reminding him that there were force majeure factors, so Daiichi Kangyin could only remain silent.
The power that can shut up Dai-ichi Kangyogin is most likely related to the Ministry of Finance or the Cabinet.
It seems that he has indeed underestimated the General Association. Maybe he will have to use his official connections this time.
"President Shirakawa, we have found out the information you requested about the General Association House."
Just when Shirakawa Kaede was distracted, Arai Yu suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
