Chapter 163 The Little Witch and the Direwolf that Are Popular All over the Country

July 12, 1990.

The four most shocking events this week took turns occupying all pages of various media.

The first thing is that the second phase investment promotion meeting of the Juliana Tokyo project led by the Sanwa Consortium will be officially held on July 15. This meeting is open to all investors. Due to the raging investment boom, Nissho Iwai decided to invest 150 billion The total financing amount was expanded to 200 billion. At the same time, after the first phase of the investment fair, the project officially started.

People in Shibaura, Minato City, can see many tower cranes standing there, excavators coming and going, and construction projects being carried out day and night.

The second thing is that the loan repayment crisis broke out again at the Osaka Chuo-ku branch of Tosan. The loan customers who gathered together cried out and complained about the outrageous behavior of the branch. They were forced to sign a loan repayment plan agreement before, but now they have inexplicably relaxed the loan restrictions. This Isn't it just a joke?

The big tree attracted the wind, and Kithara Sosuke couldn't figure out who was constantly targeting him behind his back. There are always those who don't want to pay back the money, and try to use the pressure of public opinion to force Kitahara Sosuke to lend them money to invest in new projects. They come to make troubles, parade, cry, and seek media exposure.

Finally getting tired of the commotion, Kitahara Sosuke specially asked the sales department to open a conference room so that those who were causing trouble outside could come in and sit, have tea, chat and eat snacks, and then posted an eye-catching red paper announcement at the gate.

It shows that this time the policy of liberalizing loan restrictions came from the approval of the head office board of directors and was led by the investigation team led by Executive Mansaburo Ito. He was just acting on orders.

In addition, the branch also clearly pointed out that only loans that actually invest funds in Juliana's Tokyo project will be successfully approved. Anyone who borrows loans in this name will not be approved!

If you want to use Dongsan money to buy a house, don’t even think about it!

In addition, this part of the special loan business was mentioned by Sosuke Kitahara to the review department of the head office, and was personally reviewed by Manzaburo Ito, which was a disguised effort to create performance for him.

Manzaburo Ito has already accepted Ogami's 60 billion loan application, so naturally he doesn't care about these new applications. The more, the better. They will be his resume for promotion in the future.

In one week, the branch received nearly 1 billion more loans, and the quotas are still rising, giving the four financing classes hope of completing their year-end targets.

The third thing is also related to banks and these investors.

The six major consortiums, led by the Mitsubishi Group, began to quietly sell off the real estate they held. Nearly a thousand more properties were listed for sale in the real estate trading markets of the six major cities within a week. Houses in Tokyo's Minato Ward were the hottest, with sales rising on the day they were listed. was emptied.

Housing prices have swept away the decline and gradually recovered, and it seems that there is a chance to return to its former glory!

Those speculators who were trying to make a last-minute profit from real estate speculation saw that there was no way out at the branch, so they ran to other banks. Although the government's total land limit policy is still there, the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan have also begun to impose new restrictions on the total amount of land. The mortgage loan turned a blind eye.

Many banks began to take desperate risks and continue to make these attractive deals.

However, many investors who were frightened twice did not dare to enter the market rashly anymore and maintained a wait-and-see attitude, ready to let the bullets fly for a while.

The middle class with more information became the main force in this housing buying boom. They used their wealth to grab real estate in the port area. Then some financial practitioners began to make small ideas and cash out from the industry for investment.

Because of the last forged deposit incident, Kitahara Sosuke specially asked Kobayashi Kyoko to thoroughly investigate the authority of the employees within the branch. After suffering a hidden loss, Kobayashi Kyoko became smarter and became more capable. After she was divided into three Under Wataru's cleaning plan, some employees who showed signs of being exposed were quickly caught, and then were interviewed privately for tea by Kitahara Sosuke.

The two people's vigorous and resolute work style made the internal branch staff realize that it was hopeless to get money from the branch. Some people who were still mentally active quietly ran to contact other branches, or simply went to other banks to borrow money.

Kitahara Sosuke can't control this kind of thing, and he doesn't bother to care about it. They are looking for death, and he can't stop them, as long as no financial scandal occurs during his term.

He estimated that the seeds of the subsequent large-scale financial turmoil and scandals were probably planted at this time. A lot of money subsequently disappeared, and now there is an explanation.

It's heartbreaking to think that such a huge amount of money was invested in the Gulf War by consortiums and governments, and all was lost in the end.

You said you let Americans make money, why not give it to yourself?

The last thing is closely related to Kitahara Sosuke.

Today at midnight is the premiere of "Kiki's Delivery Service". Thanks to his hard work, major movie theaters across the country have scheduled this animated movie. Unfortunately, there are several well-received movies that are hot sellers at the same time. He can schedule them The timing is pretty bad, and they are all during working hours on weekdays.

How many sales can an animated movie make? It is understandable that movie theaters are more optimistic about the best-selling movies.

He made an appointment for the afternoon show at the Golden Elephant Cinema in Yuwa Commercial Building in Osaka, and gave Sakurai Saeko, Fujiwara Norika and Kobayashi Kyoko a break. It was hard enough for them to be busy these days.

Especially Fujiwara Norika, after she was transferred to the acting section chief position, she was busy day and night. While taking care of part of Kitahara Logistics business, she also had to work with Sakurai Saeko on the human resources club plan for the female employees. She wished she could grow three heads and six arms. I usually spend less time chatting with him.

As one of the leaders of the film, Ran Kitano went to see the early morning screening by herself, and is probably still sleeping soundly at home. She and Sosuke Kitano had seen the test film given by Hayao Miyazaki, and they were both quite confident.

There were not many people at the first show of the premiere in the early morning, and she was only halfway through the show, so she was still a little nervous.

After handling all the matters, Kitahara Sosuke gave Sakurai Saeko a wink. The beautiful female assistant understood and quietly went downstairs with him. Downstairs, Fujiwara Norika and Kobayashi Kyoko, who had changed into short-sleeved T-shirts and shirts, Just wait for a long time.

The four people quickly left the branch and sat in the conference room drinking tea while protesting against Kitahara Sosuke's inhumane loan repayment plan. Suddenly they saw Kitahara Sosuke running out. The angry middle-aged bald man rushed out cursing. These people The guy at the bank really didn’t tell the truth!

Didn't it mean that the president was away on business? !

It's a pity that he failed to catch up with Kitahara Sosuke and even ate the GT-R32's rich black exhaust!

The roar of the GT-R32 resounded through the streets. This car was more powerful than a tiger running like a tiger. It attracted countless people's attention as soon as it hit the road.

The landing price is 5.8 million yen, and the roaring sound of the engine tears the air, allowing Kitahara Sosuke to regain some of the feeling of driving a top-notch luxury car in later generations.

The three girls were frightened by this new car. Their eyes were full of pride and joy. When they went out with Kitahara Sosuke, they never lost attention.

No matter in terms of looks or charisma, he is the best!

Arriving at Youhe Shopping Mall, Hayao Miyazaki, wearing a small felt hat, waited for a long time. When he saw Sosuke Kitahara leading three beauties with their own styles, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked in with them.

Kitahara Sosuke introduced the three women to him one by one. After greeting several people, Miyazaki approached Kitahara Sosuke and asked in a low voice: "President Kitahara, do you think the box office will be successful?"

He felt uneasy. Part of the main idea for this animated film came from him, and part came from Kitahara Sosuke. The overall production was completely led by him, and Kitahara Sosuke generously allocated a large sum of money to him.

If he fails at the box office, it will not only be a blow to his own self-confidence, but also make him feel unable to explain to Kitahara Sosuke.

Hayao Miyazaki can feel the high hopes Kitahara Sosuke has for this movie. He hopes that "Kiki's Delivery Service" can bring excellent advertising effects to Kitahara Logistics.

Kithara Sosuke replied with a smile: "I don't think there is a big problem."

The more confident a person is in their own work, and the more they have put in a lot of effort, the more worried they are that their efforts and achievements will be wasted, and they will not be able to verify their own path. What if it turns out that the path they have been following is wrong? Yes, it will hit people particularly hard.

Kitahara Sosuke has also experienced this kind of pain. He can understand Miyazaki Hayao's mood, but he doesn't care. Even if it is really not as good as the original failure, Miyazaki Hayao's strength will always bring benefits to him. .

The five people entered the screening room and took their seats.

Unexpectedly, the huge screening hall was almost full, and occasionally someone could be heard whispering about the plot and characters of the movie.

The most mentioned one is the Little Witch and her direwolf Kitahara. The Kitahara figure has been very popular a while ago and has achieved good publicity results. It seems that the tickets will be full on the day of the premiere, and the total box office should not be bad.

Seeing that the seats were full, Miyazaki was a little relieved. He actually watched the premiere in Tokyo in the early morning, and the entire screening hall was less than half full, which made him particularly worried.

After the movie opened, the three women who watched this movie for the first time were quickly attracted by the plot and exquisite animation effects. The plot content is exciting and the production is excellent. It ended quickly from beginning to end, leaving people with a feeling of unfinished learning. .

At the end of the screening, the audience in the screening room waited until the Easter eggs were played before getting up and leaving.

The content of the easter egg is related to the next movie "The Fairy Tale of Time", which can be regarded as a warm-up in advance. Kitahara Sosuke plans to find ways to continue to promote Kitahara investment through Miyazaki Hayao's movies.

High-quality culture has a much stronger penetration into the public than bad street advertising. In this way, the culture invested by Kitahara is bound to Hayao Miyazaki's movies, and it can even go out of the country in the future.

After the movie ended, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At least they didn't hear any bad reviews in the theater. Hayao Miyazaki said goodbye and returned to Tokyo.

Kitahara Sosuke took the three girls to find a restaurant to eat.

They were quite eye-catching wherever they went, and they couldn't stand all the random sights. After eating, the three women returned to the branch and continued their work.

Kitahara Sosuke wandered around the Yuwa Shopping Center casually, wandering around to see what the current situation in Osaka's bustling area was like.

He bought milk tea casually, biting the straw, and couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard the clerks at the milk tea shop discussing the resurgence of the housing market.

When people who have nothing to do with an industry are discussing it crazily, it means that the industry itself is full of bubbles and crises.

The next morning, Kitahara Sosuke got up from the bed and heard the sound of Kobayashi Kyoko's slippers. She simply put on an apron, twisted her waist and brought breakfast to the room. There was also a plate on the plate. Chang Osaka Daily News.

She knew that Kitahara Sosuke had the habit of reading the newspaper in the morning, so she prepared it thoughtfully. When she saw him getting up, she smiled softly and said: "Good morning, Sosuke~ Can you have these for breakfast? If you don't like it, I will make something else." of?"

"No, these are fine. Thank you, Kyoko-chan." Kitahara Sosuke picked up the bread and opened the newspaper.

"This is what I should do~" Kobayashi Kyoko took off her apron, got back into the quilt naked, and lay down with him to read the newspaper.

The entire huge page is dedicated to reporting on the first-day box office of "Kiki's Delivery Service"!

On the day of release, which was not a weekend, the total box office nationwide exceeded 200 million yen! ! !

The little witch Kiki and her snow direwolf Kitahara are now completely popular all over Japan!

This box office also shocked Kitahara Sosuke.

He estimated that it would be good to earn 30 million to 50 million yen on the day of release. The animated film's total box office of 2.7 billion at that time was also made possible by steady flow.

200000000!

It was almost ten times higher than what he expected!
