The Kyoto Bubble Era: Starting from the Sale of Hundreds of Millions of Properties

Chapter 397 Invisible Game
1991 5 Month 3 Day.

Grand Opening of Tokyo Kyodo Bank.

The headquarters building located in Chiyoda District, Tokyo is the Tokyo head office building of the former Industrial Bank of Japan. Now it belongs to the Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank. It has been vacant before. The landlord couldn't bear the loss caused by the price difference, and committed suicide one after another.

The properties they left behind are all taken over by the government, because there are no real estate takers now, and these buildings are all vacant. The government began to sell them one by one at a low price, hoping to exchange some funds to make up for the previous huge losses.

Even so, these Tokyo buildings that were in short supply in the past are still seldom paid for by anyone. After all, no matter how low the price is, it is an astronomical figure, not to mention the current economic situation is so bad, whoever has money will not think about buying real estate.

Oh, there are still people who will.

That is the leader of the Kitahara-type club, Kitahara Sosuke.

He signed a huge real estate acquisition project with a total fund of 5000 billion yen with the government, and almost all the vacant real estate in Chiyoda District were sold.

If it were placed in the bubble era, it would be like taking advantage of the fire. With 5000 billion yen, I am afraid that it can only buy one building, or that kind of location is very rubbish.

But now, hearing that some entrepreneurs are willing to buy those real estate properties for 5000 billion yen, all government departments are overjoyed and agree.

That's 5000 billion yen!It can solve the urgent need.

However, Sosuke Kitahara did not intend to pay in one lump sum. Even for him, it would not be easy for him to take out 5000 billion yen in cash in an instant, not to mention that the money can be used for anything better than buying a house in China.

Having said that, what he values ​​is the business opportunity that the yen will continue to depreciate in the future, while housing prices will gradually rise after the millennium.

5000 billion yen eats up less than half of Chiyoda District, and it looks like a huge loss at this time.

At any other time point, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.

And he pays in installments, 5000 billion yen, settled in 30 years, without interest.

An average of less than 200 billion a year.

If Tomiichi Murayama was not the current prime minister, he really wouldn't be able to get such a favorable plan.

These are all invisible benefits brought by strength.

So, when you have money to a certain extent, money is really just a number. The important thing is to see how you can use the least money to get the most benefits and grab a bigger cake.

Of course, although money is just a number, when it comes to a higher level of struggle, the size of the number will indirectly determine the outcome of the battle.

The 5000 billion is guaranteed but not lost.

The establishment of the Tokyo Kyodo Bank gave the financial community a shot in the arm, allowing them to see the light of day, and those financial institutions that were about to fail to persevere also revived, waiting to negotiate with the Tokyo Kyodo Bank.

In the headquarters building, as the president, Ichiro Jitian arrived late, and after attending the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony with Sosuke Kitahara, the executive, he left immediately.

Tokyo Kyodo Bank seems to have a bright future, but what it wants to do is not so glorious. As the president of the Banking Association of Japan, Ichiro Tian still has to stand on the side of the financial world in name, so naturally he can't show that he is helping the government Willingness to take advantage of the fire.

The other five people didn't even show up, they just put their names on the list.

As an executive, Kitahara Sosuke naturally became the focus of attention, accepting interviews from reporters.

"Excuse me, Kitahara, I heard that the staff of Tokyo Kyodo Bank are all from the Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank. Is this your special arrangement?" A reporter asked with a microphone.

This is also the doubt of many laymen.

In their view, this is the largest project that the government has cooperated with the consortium in recent years. Why does the seemingly irrelevant Beiyuan Shenlang Credit Bank contribute the most.

"This is not my personal arrangement, but a decision made by the board of directors after discussion. As we all know, the banking industry has encountered some difficulties. The six major metropolitan banks have more affairs to deal with, and internal employees are under high workload. It’s impossible to get out and work for Tokyo Kyodo Bank.”

Kitahara Sosuke had long thought of the wording to respond to, who wouldn't know how to say it in official language?

"Although the Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank is larger than most credit banks, it does not belong to the banking system and has no right to participate in the resolution of internal conflicts in the banking industry. I am also a senior executive at the bank, and I also realize that I should take on this arduous responsibility."

"The main responsibilities of the Tokyo Kyodo Bank are the following two points. First, to assist other financial institutions to tide over the crisis, and second, to seek new investment and development opportunities. These two businesses are very familiar to bank employees, but they are very familiar to Kitahara The employees of Shenlang are still quite unfamiliar. I also hope that through this special study, they can grow at a high speed and become an excellent practitioner in the financial industry in the future."

"So, Manager Beiyuan, you arranged for your employees to join the job, and you also have a selfish desire to let them benefit from it, right?"

The reporter pressed on, apparently sneaking a little trap into his question.

Kitahara Sosuke nodded with a smile: "I really hope that through this project, my employees can grow. You have to understand that this is selfishness, and I don't refute it haha. Of course, the real shareholders of Tokyo Kyodo Bank are the six major cities. The bank has nothing to do with our Beiyuan Shenlang Credit Bank. If you want to investigate the stakeholders, I don't think you should suspect me."

He didn't know who was standing behind this reporter. Anyway, Kitahara Sosuke was fearless. He contributed his own manpower, and also came forward to do his best as a professional. He didn't take a penny of benefits. What can they discredit him?
The reporter was overwhelmed by his half-smile and half-answer tone, sat down after a few laughs, and didn't ask any more questions.

Another female reporter raised her hand to ask a question.

This was arranged by Sosuke Kitahara in the group of reporters.

There are many such support.

Anyway, the so-called press conference was nothing more than an invisible game between the six consortiums and him, a play for the public to watch.

"Professor Kitahara, I seem to have heard you talking about investment just now. Will Tokyo Kyodo Bank still be involved in investment business?" the female reporter asked curiously.

Kitahara Sosuke nodded: "Of course, although Tokyo Kyodo Bank's primary task is to deal with the crisis of financial institutions, if it encounters a good investment opportunity, it will seize it with all its strength. After all, the ultimate goal of us bankers is to make profits. , to create wealth for the country is to create wealth for the people, as a bank practitioner, I always take this as my highest ideal to practice!"

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

Ji Tianichiro in front of the TV was even more confused.

What is Kitahara Sosuke planning?
