353. Try to block it with all your might.
The people gathered in the conference room glanced at each other.
The Japanese prime minister ran a hand through his hair.
“JH Investment? I’ve never heard of that place.”
Everyone had similar expressions.
The more this happened, the more the Japanese Prime Minister shook his head in an irritated manner.
“Doesn’t anyone know?”
There was a heavy silence.
At a moment when no one could easily open their mouths, someone carefully raised his hand.
He was the chairman of the Japan Business Federation.
“I’m really embarrassed to say this, but… … .”
“Skip the small talk. Just get to the point.”
“Our company’s major shareholder is there. JH Investment.”
“……what?”
Several hands have been raised quietly by the Japan Business Federation.
“Actually, our company’s major shareholder is also JH Investment.”
“Actually, our company’s major shareholder… … .”
“Somehow, we too… … .”
The Japanese Prime Minister let out a short laugh in bewilderment.
“Huh, so you’re saying that not only did you invest a huge amount of money in the bank, you also became a major shareholder in several major Japanese companies? That company called JH Investment?”
When I actually said the words, it became even more absurd.
“How on earth… … .”
I don’t understand it at all.
So, all that could be done was laughter.
“How much money do you have to have to do something so ridiculous… … .”
It wasn’t just the Japanese Prime Minister.
The senior politicians from each political party and high-ranking officials from the administrative agency sitting here also stuck out their tongues.
“Honestly, I’ve never heard of this company, but isn’t it true that they have a tight grip on Japanese finance?”
“If you are a major shareholder of a company, you are subject to disclosure.”
“Didn’t JH Investment’s name ever appear there?”
“So when on earth did you move?”
“There’s no way that stock of that kind would just fall from the sky.”
All eyes were on the people from the Japan Business Federation.
They looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
“It turned out like that because I had to pay off a loan.”
“Private loan?”
Naturally, a series of lame excuses followed.
“That’s just how business works. In order to raise the necessary funds, we ended up borrowing money from private lenders.”
“I really had no choice. I was going to lose the factory right away… … .”
“I decided that it would be better to give up my shares rather than lose the factory.”
“In the end, they are now on the same boat as our company’s major shareholders. It’s a good thing.”
“They are greedy too, but they can’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.”
The Japanese Prime Minister pressed his aching temples.
I remembered what the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister had reported.
-Unlike Jeong Dong-jin, who lent money to companies, made money at interest, and resold factories and land, his successor took all of the company shares and pocketed them.
-It seems that the company shares that were acquired are being consolidated into one.
The Japanese Prime Minister muttered to himself without realizing it.
“Is this JH Investment, where Jeong Dong-jin’s successor is said to be gathering company shares?”
Jeong Dong-jin was one of the big names in Japan’s underground financial world.
He was a famous loan shark who had been lending money at high interest rates to Japanese businessmen since the Japanese colonial period.
“What a headache.”
However, it was not only the Japan Business Federation that was quietly raising its hand.
One of the Liberal Democratic Party officials raised his hand.
“I have heard the name JH Investment in the real estate market.”
“In the real estate market?”
“I heard that JH Investment is the one that is buying up all the real estate in Tokyo that Nakamura Real Estate has put on the market.”
“They even swept away all the real estate in Tokyo?”
Now, it has become meaningless to even ask the question, ‘With what money?’
The Japanese Prime Minister grabbed the back of his neck.
“Nakamura Real Estate?”
Where have I heard so much about this place?
“We are a mid-sized real estate management company.”
“Just a mid-sized real estate management company?”
“There is a rumor that Chairman Nakamura Real Estate is putting 120,000 pyeong of land in Tokyo on the market this time, and that there are 4,000 buildings… … .”
“what?”
So how much is it all?
“As Chairman Nakamura Real Estate retires, his successor is said to be reorganizing the real estate.”
“There is also information that he took out a mortgage loan to purchase additional properties.”
“I only had the most desirable, valuable items.”
At that moment, the leader of the Socialist Party folded his arms.
“Do you really not know Nakamura Real Estate? Isn’t that the real estate company that the party that was involved in was involved in?”
Oh, that’s right! The leader of the Socialist Party held a press conference!
“Didn’t your party take the lead in writing unfair contracts that left landlords no way to fight back against indefinite increases in rent? Don’t you remember that?”
The Socialist Party’s approval ratings have risen sharply since that press conference.
So much so that it seriously threatened the position of the Liberal Democratic Party, which had been the ruling party since the defeat in the Pacific War.
The Socialist Party leader’s sharp rebuke followed.
“It is common for real estate collateralized loans to be as high as 120% of the market value of the property. It is said that Nakamura Real Estate has been endlessly eating up bank money.”
The fart was a bonus.
“As the second oil crisis unfolds, the stock market is crashing, prices are skyrocketing, and Japan’s economic recession is expected. Where is liquid capital flowing now?”
They are flocking to the real estate market.
And in the middle of that real estate market was Nakamura Real Estate.
“What would happen if Nakamura Real Estate collapsed?”
In that moment, a danger warning siren rang loudly in the heads of everyone gathered there.
“If the real estate market, which is already in a bubble, crashes like the stock market, the Japanese economy will truly collapse.”
Everyone’s expressions changed and they glanced at each other.
“That’s a really bad view.”
“The Japanese economy was already in a red light due to the second oil crisis… … .”
“If banks, corporations, stock markets, and real estate markets are at risk… … .”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader’s complexion had long since turned pale.
‘no way…….’
The Liberal Democratic Party leader’s mind flashed back to the threatening letter he had torn into pieces and thrown into a tin trash can.
A cold sweat has been running down the back of the Liberal Democratic Party leader for some time now.
So, unlike usual, I kept my mouth shut like a clam and couldn’t say anything.
‘That bastard Jeong Dong-jin’s successor, isn’t that bastard really determined to turn things upside down?’
I had an uneasy feeling.
‘Even the best Jeongdongjin in the world wasn’t like this!’
The Liberal Democratic Party leader shook his head, trying to shake off his thoughts.
‘Even if Jeong Dong-jin was a big shot in the underground financial world, it makes no sense that a single individual could shake up a country!’
The Liberal Democratic Party leader gritted his teeth.
The Japanese prime minister nervously shook his head.
“I guess I’ll have to somehow persuade JH Investment.”
I can’t stand to see Japan default during my term!
“The same goes for Nakamura Real Estate. Ask for their active cooperation.”
Just then, there was someone knocking on the conference room door again.
He was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“We’re in big trouble!”
Now I was afraid to even ask what was going on.
The Deputy Foreign Minister’s expression was unusual.
I held out the urgent report with trembling hands, my breath coming in gasps.
“In the United States, another illegal bribery scandal has surfaced at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Subcommittee on Multinational Corporations!”
“what?”
Something similar happened during Lockheedgate.
“It has been revealed that Northcorp has been lobbying for the sale of its aircraft in Japan and has paid large bribes to government officials and politicians.”
“also?”
It was an incident eerily similar to Lockheedgate.
“Ichigon gave ten million dollars to seven high-ranking political figures through his boss.”
The bribe reportedly received during Lockheedgate was $2 million.
That alone turned Japan upside down, and the current prime minister was investigated by prosecutors, brought to trial, and sentenced to prison.
The former leader of the Liberal Democratic Party was also cut off at that time.
“It is said that Northcorp’s bribery was involved not only in the issue of All Nippon Airways’ new passenger aircraft order, but also in the introduction of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s early warning aircraft… … .”
“oh my god!”
“It has been revealed that the LDP has been involved in illegal political operations, fabricating documents about noise issues at Narita International Airport and spreading them to nearby residents to incite public opinion.”
“What the hell!”
“This is being broadcast live around the world now via CNM in the US.”
“Turn on the CNM! Right now!”
Everyone gathered in the conference room jumped up and ran.
It was to turn on the cathode ray tube television on one wall of the conference room.
The Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister’s Office defeated them and skillfully connected the satellite television.
Let’s tune in to CNM, there was really breaking news about it.
The Japanese Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party screamed at the same time.
“Eww!”
“Waaaaaaah!”
There isn’t a single person sitting here who hasn’t taken a bribe from Northcop.
Because it was a bribe received before Lockheedgate broke out.
In particular, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party had clearly seen this evidence with his own eyes.
‘Nooooooooooooo!’
The faces of high-ranking administrative officials and political party politicians all turned pale.
“Prime Minister, what should we do about this?”
“We have to stop it! We have to stop it somehow!”
“This is what happened at the US Senate hearing! It won’t be easy to put to rest!”
“Does that mean we’re going to just sit back and do nothing?”
“After what you went through during Lockheedgate, how can you say such comforting things?”
No way.
All the people sitting here were people who suffered greatly during the Lockheedgate incident.
The higher-ups took responsibility, took off their clothes, and left, so it was covered up to this extent, but they also took bribes.
But now there are no higher-ups who can take responsibility for them.
Because they took the place of the higher-ups.
Tata dadadak!
At this rate, they knock on the door at a speed that makes you wonder if even a woodpecker would go crazy.
A loud scream erupts as you jump into the door that opens wide!
“Prime Minister, this, this, this has arrived in front of the Prime Minister’s Office!”
He was the deputy chief of security at the Prime Minister’s Office.
He held the document above his head.
“Sent by Jeong Dong-jin’s successor, owner of JH Investment, and new CEO of Nakamura Real Estate!”
“what?”
The prominent figures in Japanese politics and business gathered here gaped in surprise.
“Were all three the same person?”
“This is crazy!”
Among them, there were those who entered Korea to pay their respects at Jeong Dong-jin.
There were also many who made fun of the meek and obedient successor of Jeong Dong-jin, who could not even see his nose, and conspired to completely strip him of his possessions.
That’s how the letter began.
The Japanese Prime Minister snatched up the letter like an eagle.
I don’t even want to imagine it!
The Japanese Prime Minister opened the letter and began to shake his hands as if he was suffering from hydrocephalus.
Companies borrow business capital from banks using their stock as collateral.
Because corporate credit loans alone are not enough.
Banks have so far tended to exercise their stake in a company-friendly manner.
Just imagining it is dizzying and terrifying!
The Japanese Prime Minister couldn’t help but stumble without realizing it.
The Prime Minister’s Office security chief held him tightly in his hands.
The Japanese prime minister clutched his chest.
“Huh!”
My eyes went dark and I felt dizzy.
It was so hard to breathe.
dump.
“Prime Minister!”
The Japanese Prime Minister collapsed with a completely bewildered look on his face.
It wasn’t just my legs that felt weak, my whole body felt weak.
Although his face looked like it was dying, he managed to finish reading the letter.
The Japanese Prime Minister could not bear it any longer and screamed.
“Nooooooooo!”
The nightmare of Lockheedgate has come back to life.
At that time, he was able to take this position by chance after the previous prime minister was dismissed.
But I didn’t want to end up in prison for the same reasons as my predecessor.
So, there was no choice but to scream.
“Eww!”
The Japanese prime minister cried out in despair.
He checked the last page of the letter with his rotten, fish-like eyes.
