The frightened Masuda Takashi finally calmed down.

He never expected that the one who took Watanabe Kuokai away would be Wang Lei's people.

After being caught, he didn't say a single harsh word and was driven out of the building by the security guards in disgrace.

"Branch President, what should we do now? We have lost the controlling stake in the TV station, and the higher-ups will definitely hold us accountable!"

Lucy's words did not affect Masuda Takashi too much.

Sakurajima is not the only TV station, and the financial newspaper still has room for choice.

And there is not much time left for him.

If other factions in the consortium knew that they had embezzled public funds and enriched themselves, it would be fatal!

"Lucy, go back to the company first, I have to go out for a while."

He personally drove to a mansion in Kanshiroda District, which is the economic and political center of Sakurajima.

Those who live here are all powerful people in Sakura Country. They are powerful and can truly influence the fate of a country.

The bodyguard at the door saw his car but did not let him go immediately.

Instead, he checked the car inside and out. Just when the other party wanted to search him, he was scolded by the unhappy Masuda Takashi.

"Sir, he is just doing a routine inspection, please don't be angry!"

Masuda Takashi immediately restrained his temper when he saw the visitor and followed him into the mansion.

This is the most expensive area in Tokyo, no, it should be said that it is the most expensive area in the world.

The owner of the mansion is even more lavish, decorating his residence like a palace.

"Deputy Minister, how are you feeling today?"

"Not very good, I have been worrying about the real estate bubble in recent days."

Hearing this, Masuda Takashi's heart trembled, so he just ran into the muzzle of the gun.

After passing through several corridors, he finally came to the study of the owner of the mansion.

"Masuda-kun, what is the important matter that makes you so anxious to see me?"

Ueno Heiji took the cigar handed over by the maid and took a deep puff.

The pungent smell of cigarettes made Masuda Takashi sniff slightly.

He was good at observing people's expressions, so he knew that smoking a cigar was a behavior that the deputy minister would only do when he was troubled.

But thinking of the huge crisis that was about to burn his eyebrows, he still bit the bullet and confessed:

"Deputy Minister, the matter is still related to that old guy Watanabe."

"Then the matter has been resolved, you apologized, and reached a cooperation agreement with the White Dragon Office."

Although Ueno Heiji said this calmly, Masuda Takashi still heard a hint of anger.

He had to tell the story of what happened not long ago.

"Wang Lei wants to use Watanabe Kuokai to force us to hand over the remaining 30% of the shares!"

After listening to this, Ueno Heiji was still as calm as ever, as if he was just listening to a story.

"Deputy Minister, should we just get rid of Wang Lei and solve the problem once and for all?"

"You want to get rid of him?"

Ueno Heiji shook his head:

"Wang Lei is a big shot that even the president doesn't want to offend. If you kill him, he still has two brothers, and there is no way to solve the problem, and it will bring huge troubles to the Mitsui Group.

And with our strength, if we go to war with the Black Dragon Society, we will be the only ones who will suffer."

Masuda Takashi didn't expect that the deputy minister, who he thought was omnipotent, would say this. He realized that he had brought a difficult enemy to Mitsui.

He didn't say anything else, just quietly waiting for Ueno Heiji to think of a countermeasure.

"Haha, he is such an interesting young man. If he wants Tokyo TV, give it to him."

"Deputy Minister, the TV station is the publicity outlet of our consortium, and its significance..."

Ueno Heiji glared at Masuda Takashi fiercely and said sarcastically:

"What do you want me to do? I can't beat him, and he is holding your little braid. If you don't admit defeat, are you waiting for him to expose you?"

Masuda Takashi was speechless for a moment. He was just a little unconvinced in his heart and wanted to get back at him.

Seeing his confidant looking dejected, he smiled and said:

"Yuda-kun, the other party has taught you a good lesson. You used to be arrogant. I expected that you would get into trouble sooner or later, but fortunately this fall is not fatal. You should be thankful that you didn't make a bigger mistake, otherwise dying to apologize would be a light punishment!"

Yuda Takashi understood what the other party meant, bowed his head and admitted his mistake:

"I will use all my wealth to make up for the mistake I made!"

When saying this, Yida Takashi's heart was bleeding. Now all he can do is to use his own industry to exchange the shares of several other radio stations. Although he can't control the shares, at least the group's publicity is not lost.

"You are smart."

Yuda Takashi still said unwillingly:

"Deputy Minister, is Wang Lei's plan for us going to end like this?""Of course we won't let him go so easily. I've heard that he's a lecher... If we get close to him, his every move will be under our eyes. It's only a matter of time before we find something to hold against him."

Hearing this, Masuda Takashi nodded repeatedly:

"I didn't expect that Wang San Shao is still a romantic. He likes to take women home after playing with them."

"There's an old saying in Dragon Country that heroes can't resist beauties. Perhaps this is the bad nature shared by the big men in Dragon Country."

Ueno Heiji sneered, which looked very scary with his gloomy face.

"Deputy Minister, I've received a batch of new tea. Do you want to take it with you..."

"Forget it. I'm not in the mood for this recently, Masuda-kun. The central bank officials want to introduce an interest rate hike policy to cool down the hot real estate market!"

Hearing this, Masuda-kun was also shocked.

Reducing interest rates is an economic strategy formulated by the Ministry of Finance (Ministry of Finance). It is a national policy introduced after the Hiroshima Agreement to maintain GDP.

In terms of functions alone, the Ministry of Finance is a more powerful financial institution than the Federal Reserve.

It manages the finances and taxation of Sakurajima, and also controls finance and supervision.

In addition to the same money supply and interest rate setting rights as the Federal Reserve.

It can also contain and influence the decisions of other departments by allocating funds and approving the annual budget plans of various provinces.

It can be said that the existence of the Ministry of Finance has violated the interests of many people in many departments.

Now the central bank has introduced an interest rate hike policy, which is obviously singing a different tune from the Ministry of Finance!

The most difficult thing is the commercial banks of several major financial groups in the middle.

And Ueno Heiji is the president of Mitsui Bank.

"Deputy Minister, what is your decision?"

"Don't move yet, I want to see what the new president of the Bank of Japan wants to do?"
