Chapter 223 Forced Into a Desperate Situation

September 22, 1990.

News spread throughout Osaka that Sosuke Kitahara, the deputy head of the Osaka Chuo Branch of the Tokyo Industrial Bank, was imprisoned on 12 charges including treason, espionage, financial fraud, and intentional homicide.

Careful people will find that ever since the name Kitahara Sosuke entered the public eye after the stock market bubble burst, things about him have not stopped.

First, he had various quarrels with the former branch president Naoto Asano, and finally sent the other party to prison. Later, he was involved in the suicide case of Inoue Yan's family, the riot case of Valley Village, etc. After a few days of settling down, he entered the palace for the second time and became... Guests of the Osaka Police Headquarters.

But this time, it is no longer the familiar petty quarrel between factions in various circles, but a strong accusation from the prime minister's cabinet.

After these charges were made public, the mainstream media exploded.

After all, Kitahara Sosuke has always been the winner before, and Tosan also intended to shape him into a new generation of financial idols, but before the idol image was established, he fell first!

Tosan held a temporary board of directors on the day Kitahara Sosuke was imprisoned. This group of Tosan bosses more or less knew the inside story. This was a joint effort by former Prime Minister Takeshita Noboru, current Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, and Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe to rectify the problem. A typical case, who dares to object?

Therefore, everyone thought that this board of directors was just a routine meeting, trying to find ways to put aside the relationship between Kitahara Sosuke and Tosan. Some directors even proposed on the spot to exile Kitahara Masao and expel Kitahara Sosuke.

As the leader of the Kaisha faction, Vice President Hiraiwa Keiichi is a strong supporter of this proposal, while Executive Gennai Ken, the leader of the progressive faction who was previously considered the biggest supporter of Kitahara Sosuke, remained silent and said nothing.

Gennai Ken officially joined Jin Yao Kai a month ago and became one of the core controllers of the Mitsubishi Consortium. Since then, the total number of Tosan members in Jin Yao Kai has increased to three. President Takashi Shirakawa is one of the three giants. It can be said that, Tosan's attitude represents the attitude of less than half of the Mitsubishi Group.

Just as the meeting was moving in the planned direction, Hiraiwa Keiichi's proposal was suddenly vetoed by Shirakawa Takashi.

"I think the matter of Kitahara Sosuke still needs to be discussed, so I am not in a hurry to draw conclusions now. He is a financial idol that our head office public relations department is determined to support. Now that something has happened, we can't get rid of the relationship. At this time, it is only adding insult to injury. It will attract criticism from others.”

Shirakawa Takashi said this.

Gennai Ken sat up straight in his chair and looked at him blankly, unable to find any flaw in this old rival's eyes.

He did not attend the last Jin Yao meeting, but Keiichi Hiraiwa, who had participated, also vigorously suppressed Kitahara Sosuke, which shows that the Mitsubishi Foundation is not optimistic about Kitahara Sosuke, but why now?

Now the only people who are sure to help Kitahara Sosuke to the death are his Kitahara investors, as well as Kitahara Masao and his two daughters.

Kitahara Ningzi, who rushed to the Middle East, wanted to return home, but Masao Kitahara stopped her, fearing that her daughter would do something strange soon.

As for Kitahara Reiko, who was also involved in futures trading, she was summoned by the Financial Services Agency to conduct various investigations and was completely unable to find someone to help her brother.

Kitahara Masao's first phone call was to his close friend Yasushi Kawahara from his student days, and he soon discovered that the Osaka Prefecture governor's position was not his own.

He originally thought that his network resources were pretty good, but he didn't expect that these things would be completely insufficient in such a catastrophic disaster!

With Dongsan's ambiguous attitude, the power he can borrow is extremely limited.

Since it involves the most serious crime of treason, prosecutors from the Tokyo District Prosecutors' Office will go to Osaka to interrogate Kitahara Sosuke. Time is of the essence, and the relationship must be cleared up before Kitahara Sosuke is arraigned!

Otherwise, what awaits him may be a stab in the head!

Masao Kitahara took a deep breath and went to the Minato District of Tokyo on September 22, arriving at the villa where Minami Kitahara lived.

"Please! Brother! We must save Aosuke!" Masao Kitahara bent his straight back.

In the political world, Bei Yuannan's relationship is indeed more difficult, but his plea was met with a shake of the head from Bei Yuannan and ridicule from several other brothers and sisters.

"If I had known this would happen now, why would I let him go short oil in the first place?"

"Third brother, I'm not telling you. Aosuke is determined to short oil. Yes, he is right. How much profit did he make? More than 10 billion meters of gold! Equivalent to 2 trillion yen! Twenty times more than Beiyuan. The total assets of the family! But his money came from a shady way. If you say he has nothing to do with Americans, I don’t believe it. Third brother, you’d better advise Cang Jie. "

At the end of the conversation, Kitahara Masao discovered that his brothers and sisters had been bribed long ago. They wanted Kitahara Sosuke to spit out the nearly 2 trillion profits and divide the money earned by his son with outsiders!

These bastards!

After leaving the Kitahara home in despair, Kitahara Masao rushed to the Kitahara Logistics Headquarters without stopping.

I originally thought that the seemingly huge investment group under my son would collapse instantly after he was imprisoned. With no one in charge and control, and the president being imprisoned for so many crimes, most clubs would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion.

But Beiyuan Logistics is running well, and these workers don't seem to care about this at all.

He was very surprised what thoughts Kitahara Sosuke had instilled in these people. Why were they so confident in their sons?

Not only Beiyuan Logistics, but other Beiyuan-related clubs are operating normally. Just like the people, they continue to send and receive express delivery while eating melons. The same is true for those clubs. They should work and do research and development.

Kitahara Masao was taken to the main conference room where the meeting was taking place.

Kyoko Kobayashi presided over the meeting. After arranging the tasks of each club for the second half of the year, she took out Kitahara Sosuke's briefcase, took out the plan he had prepared in advance, and distributed it to everyone present for review.

After Masao Kitahara entered the room, they all stood up and bowed, and then continued the meeting.

Masao Kitahara also received a plan, which was a series of measures that Kitahara Investment would take when the bubble economy collapsed after the Gulf War, drawn up by Sosuke Kitahara.

The draft was drawn up a few months ago, which shows that he had foreseen this scene a long time ago and firmly believed that Japan's most prosperous bubble era would enter winter and finally burst!

Before the Gulf War, he also took corresponding countermeasures. It was a counterattack plan specifically designed to prevent him from being liquidated after making money. It was written clearly and clearly, which shocked Kitahara Masao.

He thought it was difficult to solve, and even needed to ask Kitahara Minami and the others for help, but Kitahara Sosuke had long anticipated it and proposed many different solutions!

He is not afraid of reckoning at all.

Because not long ago, in the first board meeting he held, he made it clear that the person to be liquidated was not the enemy, but themselves!

Therefore, everyone who had received this dose of vaccination early would not panic and proceed with what they should do in an orderly manner.

"This" Kitahara Masao finally realized that in that phone call more than half a year ago, Kitahara Sosuke said he wanted to prove what he was seeing.

It was not the future he expected, or some extraordinary performance or proud achievement, but a prototype.

The prototype of a consortium!

There was a knock on the door.

The person who walked in was Miyazawa Kaoru, the representative of the Miyazawa family. She was holding a text message sent by Kitahara Sosuke from the closed prison.

"500 billion to buy Osaka, 500 billion to buy his life?" Masao Kitahara chewed on the meaning of this sentence, both shocked and confused.

What's the meaning?

Whose life?

How to buy Osaka?

Whose life is worth 500 billion?

He was confused.

The same person who didn't understand was Miyazawa Kaoru who sent the message. Anyway, grandpa read the message for a long time after getting it, and finally asked her to come in person to send the message to the core members of the Kitahara department at Kitahara Logistics.

"I understand. Thank you very much for Miss Miyazawa's message!" Kobayashi Kyoko stood up and bowed to her. When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of determination and resoluteness!

Kitahara Masao was confused, and Miyazawa Kaoru couldn't understand it either. Anyway, the news had reached her, and everything the Miyazawa family could do was naturally arranged by her grandfather. She didn't need to worry about it. She was just curious about how Kitahara Sosuke could avoid such an offensive.

The most the Miyazawa family could do was to save his life.

That money must be handed over.

After another batch of people dispersed, the only five core members of the Kitahara clan who were still in the conference room were Kyoko Kobayashi, Saeko Sakurai, Ran Kitano, Norika Fujiwara, and Kazuma Yamada.

Kobayashi Kyoko took a deep breath and recounted the incident to them.

Only Kazuma Yamada was present and accompanied Kitahara Sosuke to the United States to settle the proceeds from the Gulf War. After his additional explanation, the girls knew that this time it was the Prime Minister's Cabinet who was targeting Kitahara Sosuke!

They want to find scapegoats, want to rob them by force, and want to take away everything they have!

Including Kitahara Sosuke!

Even Kitano Ran and Sakurai Saeko, who have relatively strong receptive abilities, were a little frightened. Only then did the latter realize that Kitahara Sosuke was not the Ningko sibling he brought back, but was rescued from Shintaro!

She was angry and scared, what a dignified foreign minister.

The most powerful person in a country.

How shameless and hateful!

Want all the money just by talking and wagging your finger?

Norika Fujiwara was even more confused, feeling that all her beautiful expectations and longings for this country had been shattered.

"Then, Kyoko-chan, what should we do?" Fujiwara Norika clenched her fists, "President, did he have a plan for a long time? What does this sentence mean?"
