Plagiarism from the World - 380 Fukuda Takeo's Wrath

Akatsuki Usami originally planned to take Koji Hatoyama to the Ministry of Finance to meet Takeo Fukuda, but after he called Takeo Fukuda, Takeo Fukuda thought the situation was serious, and he would organize officials from the Ministry of Finance to come to the Bank of Japan to deal with the matter on the spot. Arrived in an hour and a half.

So Usami called three vice presidents and other Bank of Japan officials, held a brief meeting, and then let them deal with several important issues within an hour and a half.

Since there was still an hour and a half left, Akatsuki Usami took Koji Hatoyama to the banknote management and appraisal team located on the third basement floor of the headquarters building.Although Usami Jun already believed in Hatoyama Koji's report, he still felt that he had to go there in person and wanted to know as much as possible.

After passing a long corridor, Usami Jun regretted it in his heart.It occurred to him that he hadn't walked through this corridor for nearly three years.He recalled that after being elected governor of the Bank of Japan in December 3, he visited twice in February and May of 1964, and then never again.

Being in a high position, he has too many things to do, and he really can't be distracted to go to the grassroots for field inspections and research.It was his negligence that led to this most terrible result.If he had been here in January, or even February, it might have been much better.But there are not so many "ifs", he knows that he may be here for the last time, and "taking the blame and resigning" is already the lightest for such a large-scale outbreak of counterfeit banknotes.He will also "fortunately" become the first president to resign since the establishment of the Bank of Japan.

"The Bank of Japan must be reformed, and the top-down bureaucratic style must be changed!" Akatsuki Usami felt that he had the responsibility to leave something for his successor.

"Welcome Your Excellency President to inspect the Banknote Management Appraisal Team." Kito Yanghei led several assistants to greet him earlier.

Usami Jun smiled, and he said jokingly: "Kito-kun looks a lot thinner, don't work too hard, it's time to rest."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, it's the president who works hard." Monk Hōhei Joji Muto couldn't figure it out, but after seeing Koji Hatoyama behind Usami Jun, he seemed to feel something, and he was a little nervous.

Usami Akatsuki walked with great strides and said mockingly, "I didn't work hard, but I regret it. If I had worked hard a month or two ago, that would be great? Haha..."

Walking to the work hall, Usami saw everyone standing up, bowing their heads respectfully.

"Everyone sit down, we will be off work in less than half an hour, everyone hurry up and do your work well. I just came here to take a look." Usami Akatsuki looked very kind.

Kito Hinata looked at Usami Jun who stopped and walked, feeling extremely nervous.When he saw Usami Jun whispering a few words to Hatoyama Koji, he understood why Usami Jun suddenly visited his group.He stared at Koji Hatoyama angrily, and then said to Usami Jun with a smile: "Mr. President, let's sit in the office for a while. I have a lot of things to report to Mr. President."

Usami Jun turned around, looked at Kito Hinata blankly, then nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to listen to your report."

A group of people walked into the office, Usami Jun unceremoniously sat down on Kito Hinata's executive chair.His eyes glanced at the desk habitually, and then he stretched out his hand and gently took out a picture album from the bottom of a pile of documents.Oh, that's an Audrey Hepburn California Sunshine Photobook.

Akon Usami started to read it with great interest, while Hidei Kito's face was already pale at this time.

"Beauty, a rare beauty!" Usami Akon sighed.

Mu Fuji Yangping said tremblingly: "Master President, this... picture book is..."

"No need to explain, I also have a picture album like this. I think most Japanese men have a picture album like this, right? Hehe, I bought my picture album in the United States. It is in English, but there are not so many pictures. But, I My picture album is usually kept at home and will never appear in the office." Usami Jun said with a half-smile.

Kito Hōhei let out a long breath.

Usami Jun threw the album on the desk casually, and then said to Muto Hinata sternly, "Tell me, Muto-kun, what have you been doing these past few months?"

Kito Yanghei subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, then collected his thoughts and said: "In the past three months, due to the huge amount of banknotes issued, our workload has also increased a lot. One group..."

Usami Jun interrupted him expressionlessly and asked, "To be more specific, did you find any problems?"

Muto Yanghei thought for a while, and then said: "Report to Mr. President, the big problem is nothing, but the small problem is not small. We detected 13 US dollar bills in three months, and detected 8 Italian liras this month. ..."

"Is there a problem with the yen?" Usami interrupted him again, taking a sip of tea casually.

Yohei Kito knew the crux of the problem. He knew that Usami Jun must have heard the slander and false accusations of Koji Hatoyama, so he said loudly: "Report to Mr. President, there is no problem with the yen! The money printing technology of our Great Japanese Empire is The top level in the world is much more refined than the US dollar, British pound and franc. So please rest assured, Mr. President, no one in the world can easily imitate the Japanese yen. Of course, Mr. Hatoyama Koji of our group has a different opinion. Said what he felt was a counterfeit currency, but he could not give a specific reason, let alone a detailed report. Is there such a ridiculous thing? Besides, I have personally used the most sophisticated instruments to repeatedly measure the counterfeit currency he said. Coins, but they turned out to be all real coins! Of course, Koji Hatoyama has been working for so many years and has never had a chance to be promoted, so his grandstanding behavior is understandable."

Akatsuki Usami asked again calmly: "Are there any other colleagues who have the same or similar views as Mr. Koji Hatoyama?"

"There is one, just one! Her name is Mioriko Sato, a staff member who is about to retire. But she can't give a specific reason." Kito Yangping replied.

Usami took another sip of tea, and then said: "As far as I can remember, Koji Hatoyama has worked in the Bank of Japan for 23 years, while Mioriko Sato has worked for ) years, both of them are more than An old employee with ten years of service, isn't he?"

"Yes... yes..." At this moment, Kito Yanghei felt that he might be wrong, and he was very wrong.Thinking of this, he could not help but tremble all over.

Usami Jun didn't speak anymore, just drinking tea quietly.

After a while, Hatoyama Koji and Sato Mioriko came in carrying two large boxes.Koji Hatoyama opened the box and said to Usami Jun: "Reporting to Your Excellency, we have packed most of the counterfeit banknotes we think. But these are all in bundles, and there will be no way to extract the loose ones for a while. .”

"How many are there in total?"

"There are a total of 169 billion yen here..."

Akatsuki Usami looked at his watch and sighed, "It's only 13 minutes. You two found so many counterfeit banknotes. It's shocking."

"More than half of the banknotes were shipped out yesterday and this morning, otherwise there would be more." Hatoyama Koji added.

Akon Usami nodded, then looked around several people sternly, and said: "This matter is kept secret for the time being, at this stage absolutely no information can be leaked!"

"Rain Oh West!"

"Everyone come out with me, I have something important to announce." Akatsuki Usami led a few people out of the office and came to the office lobby.

Usami Jun said to everyone sternly: "Now I announce: First, Mr. Yohei Kito will be relieved of his position as the head of the banknote management and identification team. Mr. Yohei Kito will go home temporarily to reflect, but he cannot leave Tokyo. He must be there whenever he is called. Second, temporarily appoint Hiroji Hatoyama as the team leader of the banknote management and appraisal team, and Mioriko Sato as the deputy team leader..."

"Why?" Although Kito Hyouhei guessed that something serious might happen, he still had doubts about the president's hasty sentence, so he argued loudly.

Usami Akon ignored him, as if he no longer existed.Akatsuki Usami continued: "Everyone will continue to work overtime tonight, and there are important things to do tonight. Alright, everyone hurry home now, you must be here before 7:30 in the evening..."

*********

In the small meeting room at the Bank of Japan, the doors are closed.Takeo Fukuda is sitting on the chair of the oval desk. On his left are officials from the Ministry of Finance, and on his right are senior leaders of the Bank of Japan and the presidents or presidents of the top 10 commercial banks in Japan. As the newly appointed department head and the first discoverer of the counterfeit banknotes, Hatoyama Koji is sitting at the end of the right side.

Takeo Fukuda looked around the participants sternly, and said in a deep voice: "The economy of the Great Japanese Empire is now facing a huge challenge that has never been seen since World War II, or even in the entire history of Japan! Some people use extremely concealed, extremely The brutal and extremely sophisticated means have quietly launched a war of economic aggression against us, and we have no way out, and what we should do now is to fight and fight."

The audience was sitting in jeopardy, and many people still didn't know what happened.

"For the whole story of this catastrophic blow, Mr. Usami Atsushi please explain it to everyone in detail." Takeo Fukuda stared at Usami Atsushi and said.

Usami Yuki stood up tremblingly, he frowned, and said with a stern expression: "As the president of the Bank of Japan, I have the utmost respect for the incalculable huge economic and political losses caused to our country by this sudden surprise attack by an unknown enemy." I cannot shirk my responsibility, and I will take the blame and resign later."

"Ah..." Someone exclaimed.Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.

Usami continued to say in a deep voice: "Our invisible enemies are using their superb technical means to print 'yen' overtime and throw it in large quantities to our country. This is the most simulated counterfeit banknote in history. This kind Few people in the Bank of Japan and Japan can identify counterfeit banknotes. Even if we have the most advanced identification methods and identification instruments in the world, we still cannot identify them. Unfortunately, this kind of counterfeit banknotes appeared as early as January this year. It was only discovered today. It is conservatively estimated that there are already more than one trillion yen counterfeit banknotes on the market, and you may have such counterfeit banknotes in your wallets. Moreover, we do not know how many such counterfeit banknotes are still in the hands of our enemies ..."

Under the signal of Usami Atsushi, Hatoyama Koji distributed 10 different denominations of mockery cards to each participant for appreciation.

Usami Akatsuki magnified the data provided by Koji Hatoyama by five times. He believed that in the past three months, when Japan just issued new banknotes, the number of inflows should not be small.After calculation, he thinks that more than one trillion yen is considered conservative.

Everyone was already discussing, Usami Yuki nodded to Takeo Fukuda, and Takeo Fukuda motioned him to sit down, and then he said: "The first thing the bank should do now is to find out what is in our bank as quickly as possible. For counterfeit banknotes, Usami Atsushi and Mr. Hatoyama Koji are in charge of organizing the Bank of Japan and the 10 major commercial banks to urgently set up a "Counterfeiting Team" with Mr. Hatoyama Koji as the team leader!"

Usami Jun and Hatoyama Koji stood up solemnly and said loudly: "Hey!".

"The second thing is to thoroughly investigate the source of this counterfeit banknote. I would like to ask Mr. Eizo Sagi, the director of the Banknote Printing Bureau. As a professional, what is your explanation for the emergence of such counterfeit banknotes?" Takeo Fukuda stared at a thin and small old man .

The thin old man named Satoki Eizo stood up quickly, he looked very flustered.When he received the counterfeit banknote issued by Hatoyama Koji, he felt that it had a lot to do with his banknote printing bureau.

"I have to admit that this kind of counterfeit banknotes, even I can't tell the real ones from the fake ones. Generally speaking, only the banknote printing templates or template drawings from the Banknote Printing Bureau and the top-secret data of the Banknote Printing Bureau can be printed with such a degree of authenticity. High banknotes. Another possibility is to gather a large number of scientific researchers, invest a lot of money and time, and go through tens of thousands of experiments. It takes at least 5 years to get such accurate data. However, I admit that even the pound sterling imitated by Germany was not as accurate as this kind of yen. It should also be explained that, no matter in the past or now, the yen has higher technical content than the pound, especially the 5000 yen , is the version from the 60s, and it is already at the world's leading level technically..." Eizo Zuoki said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.As soon as he saw this kind of banknote, he examined the relevant personnel under him one by one in his mind, even the retirees were not spared.

Takeo Fukuda nodded for him to sit down, and then said: "Samu-kun, an investigation team composed of cabinet ministers will join you later to thoroughly investigate your money printing bureau."

"Hey!" Zuo Mu Rongsan stood up again, lamenting in his heart that he was unlucky, he was about to retire, and such a big and shocking case would happen again.When encountering such rare counterfeit banknotes, the Banknote Printing Bureau will naturally be the main object of suspicion by the Ministry of Finance.He didn't know what kind of ending was waiting for him.

"Mr. Xiaokang, Mr. Xia Shi, oh, and Mr. Mingdao, is the sun shining in Hawaii? Isn't the beach there beautiful? Are there many beautiful women on the beach?" Takeo Fukuda held back his anger, and he knew The bureaucracy of the Bank of Japan is one of the worst places.Many of their senior officials follow fashion and like to go to Hawaii and California for vacation or tourism.Xiaokang Pingyi, the vice president in charge of foreign exchange, Xia Shichuan in the marketing department, and Ming Daogu in charge of the savings department all returned from the United States in the past few days. They enjoyed their 15-day vacation in the United States.They were completely unaware of the unusual financial situation in the country.

Xiaokang Pingyi, Xia Shichuan and Ming Daogu stood up in a daze, and all lowered their heads.

Takeo Fukuda finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He scolded these high-level people of the Bank of Japan, including Usami Jun, all over the place.

In the end, he formulated their current tasks for them, and hoped that they would take their crimes and make meritorious deeds.
