Chapter 106 The dispute between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan
Masuda Takashi, who was terrified, finally calmed down.
He never expected that it would be Wang Lei's people who took away Watanabe Kuohai.
After being pinched, he didn't even say a single harsh word, and was driven out of the building by the security guards in despair.
"Branch president, what should we do now? We have lost the controlling stake in the TV station. The higher-ups will definitely hold us accountable!"
Lucy's words did not move Masuda Takashi too much.
It’s not like there is only one TV station in Sakurajima, the financial newspaper also has options.
And there is not much time left for him.
If other factions in the consortium knew that they had embezzled public funds and enriched their own pockets, people would die!
"Lucy, you go back to the company first, I have to go out."
He personally drove to a mansion in Mishoda District, which is the economic and political center of Sakura Island.
The people who live here are all the dignitaries of the Sakura Kingdom. They are extremely powerful and are the top people who can truly influence the destiny of a country.
The bodyguard at the door did not immediately let him go after seeing his car.
Instead, he checked the car inside and out. Just when the other party wanted to search him, Masuda Takashi, who was in a bad mood, scolded him severely.
"Sir, he is just doing a routine check, please don't be angry!"
When Masuda Takashi saw the visitor, he immediately calmed down his temper and followed the other person into the mansion.
This is the most expensive area in Tokyo, no, it should be said to be the most expensive area in the world.
The owner of the mansion spends money like water and decorates his residence like a palace.
"Secretary, how are you feeling today?"
"It's not very good. I've been worrying about the real estate bubble in the past few days."
Hearing this, Masuda Takashi felt a chill in his heart, wouldn't he just hit the muzzle of the gun?
After walking through several long corridors, he finally came to the study of the owner of the mansion.
"Masuda-kun, why are you so anxious to see me?"
Ueno Heiji took the cigar handed over by the maid and took a deep breath.
The pungent smell of smoke made Masuda Takashi sniff his nose slightly.
He is good at observing people's emotions, and of course he knows that smoking cigars is a behavior that the deputy will only do when he is troubled.
But thinking of the huge crisis that was about to burn his eyebrows, he still bravely confessed:
"Secretary, the matter is still related to that old boy Watanabe."
"Then the matter is settled, isn't it? You apologized and reached a cooperation agreement with Bailong Firm."
Although Ueno Heiji was very calm when he said this, Masuda Takashi could still detect a hint of sullenness.
He had no choice but to tell the story of what happened not long ago.
"Wang Lei wants to use Watanabe Kukai to force us to hand over the remaining 30% of our shares!"
After Ueno Heiji finished listening, he remained as calm as ever, as if he was just listening to a story.
"Secretary-general, should we simply kill Wang Lei once and for all?"
"You want to kill 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 older brothers. There will be no way to solve the problem, and it will also bring huge trouble to the Mitsui Consortium.
And with our strength, if we start a war with the Black Dragon Society, we will only suffer. "
Masuda Takashi didn't expect that the deputy commander, who was omnipotent in his eyes, would say this. Only then did he realize that he had attracted a difficult enemy to Mitsui.
He didn't speak anymore, just quietly waiting for Ueno Heiji to think about countermeasures.
"Haha, he is such an interesting young man. If he wants TV Tokyo, give it to him."
"Secretary-general, the TV station is the publicity mouth of our consortium, and its significance..."
Ueno Heiji glared at Masuda Takashi fiercely, and said angrily:
"Then what do you want me to do? I can't beat you again and again, and they are still holding on to your pigtails. If you don't admit defeat, are you still waiting for others to expose you?"
Masuda Koichi was speechless for a moment. He was just a little unconvinced and wanted to regain his position.
Seeing his cronies looking downcast, he smiled and said:
"Master Masuda, the other party has taught you a good lesson. In the past, you always had a higher level of vision. I had expected that you would do something bad sooner or later. But fortunately, this fall was not fatal. You should be lucky. Unless there is a bigger mistake, even death as an apology would be considered a light punishment!"
Masuda Takashi understood what the other party meant, lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"I will use all my wealth to make up for the mistakes I made!"
When he said this, Masuda Takashi's heart was bleeding. Now all he can do is use his own property to exchange the shares of several other radio stations. Although he cannot control the shares, at least the group's propaganda mouth has not been lost.
"You're smart."
Masuda Takashi was still a little reluctant and said:
"Secretary-in-Chief, could it be that Wang Lei is plotting against us and that's all?"
"Of course we won't let him go so easily. I've heard that he is 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 do with him."
Masuda Takashi nodded repeatedly:
"I didn't expect that Third Young Master Wang is still a love interest. He just throws away women just for fun. He also likes to take them home."
"There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Perhaps this is the bad nature shared by the great figures in the Dragon Kingdom."
Ueno Heiji let out a sneer, which matched his gloomy face and looked very scary.
"Secretary-general, a new batch of tea has arrived at my place. Do you want to come together..."
"Forget it, I haven't been in this mood recently, Masuda-kun, the central bank officials want to launch an interest rate hike policy to cool down the hot real estate industry!"
Hearing this, Mr. Masuda was also shocked.
Cutting interest rates is an economic strategy formulated by the Ministry of Finance (Ministry of Finance). It is a national policy launched 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.
He took charge of Sakura Island's finance and taxation, and also controlled finance and supervision.
In addition to the same money supply and interest-fixing rights as the Federal Reserve.
It can also constrain and influence the decisions of other departments by allocating funds and approving annual budget plans of each province.
It can be said that the existence of the Ministry of Finance has violated the interests of many people in many departments.
Now that the central bank has launched an interest rate hike policy, it is obviously going against the Ministry of Finance!
The most difficult thing to do is the commercial banks of several major consortiums caught in the middle.
And Heiji Ueno is the president of Mitsui Bank.
"Secretary, what is your decision?"
"Don't move for now. I want to see what the newly appointed Bank of Japan president wants to do?"
