Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 45 Accident Rate of Kawamoto Expressway

At eight o'clock in the morning, the morning sun was already shining on the road, the subways in Tokyo were already crowded with people going to work, and the highways in the capital were also full of cars.In the Naniwa Internet Cafe, in the No. 37 room, black command boxes continuously appeared on the computer screen, and characters continued to emerge, as if they were calculating something.

Web pages are automatically opened, flagged, and closed.The entire computer seems to have exerted its maximum performance and is running at high speed, constantly capturing and collecting information.

Suddenly, the black command box stopped running, and the character "end" appeared, and then an excel form was generated on the desktop.

In front of the table was a girl in a large black T-shirt with heavy dark circles. She was drowsy, with one hand resting on her head, like fishing, dropping a little from time to time.The girl caught sight of the command box on the screen and stopped running, and immediately woke up, then quickly clicked the mouse, opened the mailbox, and sent the excel file to it.

After hitting the send button, the girl let out a big yawn, leaned back, and fell asleep with her head covered as if unconscious.Prosecutor brother, you have to thank me, the girl said in her heart, I have hacked twenty machines in the Internet cafe, and I will help you count at the same time, and then the girl gradually fell asleep.

……

……

……

At 11:[-] in the morning, Eto Law Firm.

As if feeling a sudden light in front of his eyes, which hurt his eyes, Miyagawa, who was lying on the table, suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that the law firm in front of him was still in a dim scene, although the lights were not turned on, but there was light coming from the curtains. The light in the room was already very strong, and from the corner of my eye I glanced at the clock next to it, it was already 11:[-]? !

Miyakawa immediately sat up, but followed by a strong headache, which made her frown slightly and put her hands on her head.This is the sequelae of staying up late for a long time. Miyagawa vaguely remembered that she stayed up until 4:[-] in the evening yesterday.The whole person looked at the screen in the end and it was all flowers.Fortunately, the certificate of traffic liability accident is usually not very long, otherwise it is hard for her to imagine that she will be able to read it in the end.

Yesterday, she and Bei Yuan shared the task equally, and each of them read 1500 copies.However, Beiyuan seems to have finished watching his part first, and then shared some of her part.Thinking of this, Miyagawa felt a little embarrassed.

Immediately, Miyagawa suddenly felt a strange feeling on her shoulders, which seemed to be heavier than usual. Turning his head to look, it was the suit jacket on Beiyuan's body that had already been draped over his body, preventing him from catching a cold.Miyagawa's face flushed slightly, and then she felt the touch of the suit jacket, curled up again, and wrapped herself up, as if she was a little greedy for the smell of that man.

correct.

What about Beiyuan?
Thinking of this, Miyagawa became anxious. After all, Beiyuan saw more than himself yesterday, and it was too late.And I gave myself the coat, so I don't want to catch a cold.Miyagawa looked around, and finally saw the familiar figure in front of the shutters of the office.

With his back to Miyagawa, Kitahara stood in front of the shutters, as if he was observing the crowd on the street through the gap of the shutters. His right hand held a cup, which was faintly steaming, and the cup was filled with coffee.It seemed that he heard the sound behind him, and realized that the sleeping woman had woken up, so he heard Bei Yuan's voice say: "Are you awake? I've already ordered takeaway, and it'll be here soon."

Bei Yuan's tone was not as casual as usual, but rather cold.

Miyagawa was a little taken aback when he heard this tone, it seemed that Beiyuan was in a bad mood.Is there a problem with the data?Miyagawa then asked tentatively, "Has the result come out?"

"Well. The file is on the desktop, an excel form, just click it in." The figure standing in front of the window remained motionless, standing there like a sculpture.

Miyagawa immediately pressed the switch of the laptop next to him, turned on the screen, then found the excel sheet on the desktop, and quickly opened it.

The mouse forms a funnel and keeps rolling up and down. The Excel table seems to have a huge content, and it took a long time to open it successfully.

As the page changes, a series of histograms, bar charts, and pie charts appear in the table, and the colorful bars clearly show the comparison and changes of the data.There is not only a comparison of the total accident rate of Kawamoto Expressway and other expressways, but also a comparison of similar road sections, as well as a comparison of trend graphs over time.In this Excel table, there are hundreds of charts and complex statistical formulas. For some road sections with similar conditions but operated by different companies, a comparison method of control variables is also made.

Miyagawa quickly scanned the forms.Gradually, the expression on her face changed from sleepy at the beginning to seriousness, and then her complexion gradually became more and more ugly, and her brows began to wrinkle slightly.The more you scroll down, the more Miyagawa's expression changes.

After watching for a while, beads of sweat appeared on Miyagawa's forehead, her body seemed to be trembling slightly, and her eyebrows seemed to be beating.She bit her lip lightly with her white teeth, and there seemed to be an angry expression on her face, as if she was shocked by the content of this statistic.

This statistic presents the following data:

[The road accident rate managed by Kawamoto Expressway is three times that of other expressway companies]

[Among the accident rates, the fatality rate of Kawamoto Expressway is seven times that of other expressway companies]

[About 7 traffic liability accident certificates, mentioning that there are sundries on the road surface of Kawamoto Expressway]

[Other highways kill an average of 147 people per year in traffic accidents, while the highway under Kawamoto Expressway kills 468 people a year on average]

In front of the rows of numbers, Miyagawa felt his heart beating violently.Before collecting information, she also hoped that the final result would be able to prove that Kawamoto Expressway had systematic omissions in road maintenance.However, Miyagawa was stunned when he saw the death rate and the death toll.

She suddenly discovered how dark and dirty her previous thoughts were.

Behind the cold numbers, there are living but lost lives.

It is a broken family because of a traffic accident.

If... if... these figures are all false, it would be... great.

Beiyuan turned around, took a sip of the coffee in his hand, turned around, looked at Miyakawa, and said, "Yesterday I also took a look at the sponsoring law firm for the legal documents for the listing of Kawamoto Expressway. Miyagawa, do you know where it is?" Home law firm?"

"Which one?" Miyagawa immediately asked after hearing this question.

For some reason, Miyagawa suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

She found that there seemed to be something wrong with the expression on Bei Yuan's face, and the usual hippie smile was missing.

Is there anything special about Kawamoto Expressway's legal counsel firm?

Could it be that it has something to do with me?

Suddenly, Miyagawa seemed to understand why Kitahara asked her so.

An answer emerged in Miyagawa's heart.

But I heard Bei Yuan's voice say: "The sponsoring law firm of Kawamoto Expressway for listing is—Imazai Law Firm. That is to say, Miyagawa, your father's law firm, without accident, should be the executive legal counsel of Kawamoto Expressway. Then, in the next lawsuit, Miyagawa, you will face your father."

Listening to Bei Yuan's words, Miyagawa's heart stirred up a huge wave, and she felt a little dizzy for a moment.

His father's law firm turned out to be the sponsoring law firm of Kawamoto Expressway.

Also... In other words, next, I will confront my father's law firm head-on in court.

Miyagawa was stunned for a moment, she couldn't imagine what happened in the world, it would be so dramatic.I and Beiyuan have been tracking down the expressway company for half a day, but its legal counsel firm is my father's law firm.Miyagawa stared blankly at the table, not knowing what expression to make.

Beiyuan put a cup of tea in front of Miyagawa, and looked up at the TV in the law firm.The TV was already on, and it seemed to be broadcasting financial news, but the sound was turned off.Bei Yuan walked to the desk, picked up the remote control, and turned up the volume.

But in the show, the sweet hostess was holding a manuscript, showing a standard smile, and broadcasting the news: "Today, Chuanben Expressway (stock code: CBGS) rose 3% before the market opened, and once reached 8% after the market opened. Once again hit a new high in the stock price. In the always-dead expressway industry, Kawamoto Expressway has achieved an astonishing rate of return this year and has attracted great attention from the market. During today’s program, we invited a senior researcher from Nomura Securities to come and share with us Taking stock of Kawamoto Expressway, whether this stock can continue to maintain this upward momentum.”

Then, when the camera turned around, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sitting next to the hostess. He smiled slightly and nodded to the camera.

The hostess asked: "The stocks in the expressway industry generally have a price-earnings ratio of around 7. Today, the price-earnings ratio of Chuanben Expressway is already 18. Measured from the price-earnings ratio, the stock price of Chuanben Expressway is more than twice that of similar companies. .Do you think there is a bubble in the stock price of Kawamoto Expressway?"

The middle-aged man seemed to be prepared for a long time, and said with a smile: "Hello, host. I don't think there is a bubble in the stock price of Chuanben Expressway. Although measured from the price-earnings ratio, it is true that Chuanben Expressway is twice as expensive as the stocks in the same industry. However, the fundamentals of the Kawamoto Expressway are very strong. Considering the three-dimensional expressway strategy implemented by the new cabinet, more large-scale overpasses and new roads will be built in the future. In particular, the House of Representatives has passed the "Infrastructure Renewal Strategy Act", which exceeds Trillions of funds will be invested in the construction of expressways. Looking at the vast countryside and mountains in our country, the future market potential is still huge. I think that according to the cash flow discount algorithm, the stock price of Chuanben Expressway still has 50% room for growth. !"
