Reborn Tokyo Golden Age.

Chapter 509
Just after the New Year, when the whole neon community was abuzz with the plummeting stock market, a vicious incident also occurred in Osaka Prefecture.

On February 2, Kazuo Nagano, the president of Toyota Trading Company, was stabbed to death in full public view at his home.

Toyota Trading, from its name, seems to be a trading company owned by Toyota, but in fact it has nothing to do with Toyota.

This is a trading company whose main business is the value-added system. Its general business method is to provide customers with proof of value based on the purchase and sale of precious metals.

After reaching the agreed time, the customer can obtain the corresponding value-added interest.

To put it more bluntly, Toyota Corporation sells gold to customers, and at the same time, the gold sold is kept by Toyota Corporation.

In return, it will provide customers with an annual interest rate of 10~15% every year.

This is actually a type of private investment, except that the investment object becomes gold.

It sounds like if it is carried out according to normal business processes, this seems to be a legitimate investment method.

So how did the vicious incident at Toyota Corporation happen?

The reason is simple: Toyota Corporation is a fraudulent company.

In the current bubble era, due to the continuous interest rate cuts by the Ministry of Finance in the past two years, bank deposit interest rates are only about 0.26%.

There is almost no income from people's money deposited in banks, and they may even pay taxes.

So some people took out their money and invested it in the stock market and property market, taking advantage of the skyrocketing prices of these two to obtain considerable profits.

But for those older people, whether it is the stock market or the property market, most of them cannot understand these two investments.

Coupled with conservative thinking, these elderly people are more willing to believe in traditional investment methods.

Because of their storage habits, the old people in Neon actually have money in all their accounts.

Targeting this group, Toyota Trading Company appeared.

In the name of investing in gold, they persuade the elderly to buy their financial products.

There is no doubt that gold is a relative store of value in any era.

Especially in the 80s, there was a gold craze for neon, and the public recognized it very much.

As can be seen from various gold foil ice creams, sushi, sake, etc., gold has always been the object of people's pursuit.

Toyota Trading Company took advantage of this feature and began to provide personal services to the elderly through a large number of telephone sales.

In particular, elderly people living alone are the main targets of Toyota Trading Company.

When making indiscriminate sales calls over the phone, if the other party expresses an emotional tone, Toyota Trading Company employees will enthusiastically visit you.

Once they entered the house, they did nothing else. The first thing they did was to burn incense in front of the memorial tablet in the old man's home.

Then he tidied the house diligently, and after finishing, he knelt down in front of the old man and sat down directly on the ground, saying, "Please treat me as your son."

Look, after this set of procedures, which elderly person living alone can remain indifferent?
By taking advantage of these favors, the salesperson will gain the unreserved trust of these elderly people living alone within a week.

Under their coaxing, the old man spent all his savings, that is, his pension, to purchase gold provided by Toyota Corporation.

After getting the gold, the salesmen used the excuse that the gold was difficult to keep and it was unsafe to keep around, so they offered to let their club help manage it.

Of course, all this is not in vain. While keeping the gold, Toyota Trading Company will also provide the elderly with 10 to 15% annual interest.

The savings have been converted into gold that maintains value, and there is still interest to be earned. How can these old people not be willing to do so?
So after careful preparation by the sales staff, the old people signed the agreement and obtained a land securities issued by Toyota Trading Company.

Did you find the problem?Decades of savings and the pension for the rest of my life were all exchanged for a piece of securities that was as useless as paper.

So after Toyota took the money, did it really convert it into gold and keep it for the elderly?
The problem lies here, the so-called safekeeping of gold is all a pretense.

Toyota Corporation took the money and invested it in the stock market and securities industry.

In just five years, Toyota Corporation absorbed more than 2000 billion yen in funds from tens of thousands of people across the country using these coaxing and deceiving methods.

The company has 7500 employees and has opened more than 60 stores across the country.

And in order to create its own identity as a large company, Toyota Corporation deliberately misled people into thinking that it was closely related to Toyota Motor Corporation.

For example, if Toyota Motor hires a spokesperson to advertise, Toyota Corporation will hire the same artist to advertise on TV after a while.

When introducing his company, Toyota Corporation also intentionally or unintentionally linked himself with Toyota Motor Corporation.

And it just so happens that there is indeed a trading company under the Toyota Group called Toyota General Trading.

Because this is a specious name, many people mistakenly believe that Toyota Corporation is a company under the Toyota Group.

It is precisely because of this misunderstanding that Toyota Corporation has made countless fortunes in just a few years.

But a lie is a lie after all. Toyota Corporation was recently reported for fraud, and the disguise that had been put on for several years finally revealed its true form.

Because of the huge amount of money involved, the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department has begun an investigation.

And how did Toyota Corporation, which had spent several prosperous years safely, show its flaws?

This matter is still related to the recent stock market crash. Most of the funds previously absorbed by Toyota Corporation flowed into stock market securities and real estate industries.

However, as the chairman, Nagano Kazuo is very talented in fraud, but his performance in investment is mediocre.

Under the premise that the entire neon real estate market was skyrocketing, he actually lost money when investing in real estate.

However, this cannot be completely blamed on him, because most of the real estate projects Toyota Corporation invests in are related to violent gangs, also known as the Yakuza.

If you have anything to do with them, the ending of most clubs is not very happy.

However, Kazuo Nagano is not surprised at all by Toyota Corporation's losses on real estate projects, and is even used to it.

Why?Because Toyota Corporation can so accurately find out information about elderly people living alone, some violent gangs also played a key role.

So all of this has formed a gray profit industry chain from beginning to end.If the losses in real estate are due to profit distribution, then the collapse of the stock market has really hit Toyota Corporation's pain point.

Hundreds of billions of yen of funds are stored in the stock market. According to past trends, the monthly net profit is enough to pay the interest of those customers.

However, the stock market crash caused Toyota Corporation's assets to shrink by more than half.

At this time, let alone interest, even whether the principal can be recovered has become a problem.

While busy selling stocks, it also has to deal with the monthly interest payments from those customers. It is obvious that Toyota Corporation currently does not have that ability at all.

Since there is no interest, then it’s okay to take back the gold I previously deposited with you, right?

gold?What gold?Toyota Corporation has a piece of gold!

The gold shown to old people living alone is even fake gold made from reverse molds!
From the beginning to the end, Toyota Corporation did not own any gold, and all it had was land gold securities that were like waste paper.

So all my life savings are now just a piece of flimsy waste paper?
Those "sons" who were respectful and considerate to him in the past are now turning their backs on him in the blink of an eye.

The group of elderly people living alone have failed to collect debts and are not paid attention to by the society.Faced with Toyota's dishonesty, we are helpless.

Without their savings, their future lives would be unsustainable because they would be alone from beginning to end.

So some desperate old people chose to jump directly from the apartment building, ending their already fragile lives.

They have no relatives, friends, neighbors or acquaintances, only their "sons" who had taken good care of themselves before.

Now that all these are gone, there is nothing left to miss in this world.

They could have endured the darkness if they had never seen the light.

It's a pity that I saw it and lost it again, which breaks my heart.
However, some people choose to go to extremes, and some people decisively choose to report the crime after discovering that they have been cheated.

Today, February 2, is the day Toyota Corporation Kazuo Nagano was investigated.

Media reporters who had already received the news in advance gathered in front of an apartment in Osaka's Kita Ward, where Nagano Kazuo lived.

However, although the reporters were itchy, because there were two civil servants from the Investigation Division guarding the door, they could only stay outside and wait.

While everyone was talking about it, two tall men suddenly pushed past the reporters and came to the uniformed investigation department personnel.

"I have lost my political achievements"

"I am Atsuro Iida"

"We are employees of Toyota Corporation and we have important things to report to Chairman Nagano."

The two civil servants looked at each other and responded, "Please wait here for a moment."

After saying that, the two of them turned around and entered the house to verify.

After they left, the men named Shiye Masaki and Iida Atsuro suddenly turned around and looked at the reporters behind them.

“We are not employees of Toyota Corporation, we are victims of deception.

At the same time, I was entrusted by other victims, and I came here today to rape!
Money doesn't matter anymore, we want to kill Nagano. "

"Eh?!"

"Eh?"

The reporters and media who were carrying cameras and preparing to eat melon all showed surprised looks.

However, before everyone could react, the two of them kicked through the aluminum alloy window next to the Xuanhuan Pass with a "bang" sound, and turned over and entered the house.

"Hurry, run faster, there's big news!"

Kojima of the Mainichi News was the first to react. He took his camera brother and ran towards the apartment.

Seeing their behavior, other reporters also reacted and rushed forward after them.

Shiye Zhengji and Iida Atsuro, who turned over and entered the house, came to the living room familiar with each other.

People from the investigation department here are interrogating Nagano Kazuo and collecting information on stolen goods.

The older Atsuro Iida took the lead and flew forward to stop them, while the young and strong outlaw political achievement went straight to Nagano Kazuo.

When he saw the two of them, Nagano Kazuo looked shocked and was about to shout something.

However, Shiye Zhengji moved quickly and covered his mouth.

The other hand took out an old-era standard bayonet from his waist, and then in Nagano Kazuo's horrified eyes, the bayonet quickly fell towards his head.

Puchi~
Puchi~
...

The blood on his neck shot towards the ceiling like arrows.

Puchi~
Puchi~
...

From the neck to the abdomen, not a single trace of his political achievements was left behind.

A total of thirteen knives were struck, and the knives saw red.

It wasn't until the person in his arms stopped struggling that Shiye Zhengji let go of his hands and stood up slowly.

"Uh... uh..." Nagano Kazuo was lying on the ground, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, while his body twitched from time to time.

All this happened in a blink of an eye, leaving the investigation department staff standing by in shock and at a loss.

After doing this, Shiye Zhengji and Iida Atsuro stood up and walked towards the door.

There, a large group of reporters and photographers were watching them in silence.
